It turns out there are two bugs, the division-by-zero comes from a failure to deal with that in perf_calculate_period(). The other was more interesting and turned out to be a wrong comparison in perf_adjust_period(). The comparison was between an s64 and u64 and got implicitly converted to an unsigned comparison. The problem is that period_left is typically < 0, so it ended up being always true. Cure this by making the local period variables s64.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Frederic reported that because swevents handling doesn't disable IRQs anymore, we can get a recursion of perf_adjust_period(), once from overflow handling and once from the tick. If both call ->disable, we get a double hlist_del_rcu() and trigger a LIST_POISON2 dereference. Since we don't actually need to stop/start a swevent to re-programm the hardware (lack of hardware to program), simply nop out these callbacks for the swevent pmu.

* | perf_events: Fix unincremented buffer base on partial copyFrederic Weisbecker2010-05-311-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If a sample size crosses to the next page boundary, the copy will be made in more than one step.

* | perf_events: Fix event scheduling issues introduced by transactional APIStephane Eranian2010-05-311-4/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The transactional API patch between the generic and model-specific code introduced several important bugs with event scheduling, at least on X86. If you had pinned events, e.g., watchdog, and were over-committing the PMU, you would get bogus counts. The bug was showing up on Intel CPU because events would move around more often that on AMD. But the problem also existed on AMD, though harder to expose. The issues were: - group_sched_in() was missing a cancel_txn() in the error path - cpuc->n_added was not properly maintained, leading to missing actions in hw_perf_enable(), i.e., n_running being 0. You cannot update n_added until you know the transaction has succeeded. In case of failed transaction n_added was not adjusted back. - in case of failed transactions, event_sched_out() was called and eventually invoked x86_disable_event() to touch the HW reg. But with transactions, on X86, event_sched_in() does not touch HW registers, it simply collects events into a list. Thus, you could end up calling x86_disable_event() on a counter which did not correspond to the current event when idx != -1. The patch modifies the generic and X86 code to avoid all those problems. First, we keep track of the number of events added last. In case the transaction fails, we substract them from n_added. This approach is necessary (as opposed to delaying updates to n_added) because not all event updates use the transaction API, e.g., single events. Second, we encapsulate the event_sched_in() and event_sched_out() in group_sched_in() inside the transaction. That makes the operations symmetrical and you can also detect that you are inside a transaction and skip the HW reg access by checking cpuc->group_flag. With this patch, you can now overcommit the PMU even with pinned system-wide events present and still get valid counts.

* | perf_events: Fix races in group compositionPeter Zijlstra2010-05-311-24/+67
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Group siblings don't pin each-other or the parent, so when we destroy events we must make sure to clean up all cross referencing pointers. In particular, for destruction of a group leader we must be able to find all its siblings and remove their reference to it. This means that detaching an event from its context must not detach it from the group, otherwise we can end up failing to clear all pointers. Solve this by clearly separating the attachment to a context and attachment to a group, and keep the group composed until we destroy the events.

* perf: Fix forgotten preempt_enable by nested writersFrederic Weisbecker2010-05-201-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A writer that gets a reference to the buffer handle disables preemption. When we put that reference, we check if we are the outer most writer and if not, we simply return and defer the head update to the outer most writer. The problem here is that preemption is only reenabled by the outer most, that produces preemption count imbalance for every nested writer that exit. So just don't forget to always re-enable preemption when we put the buffer reference, whoever we are. Fixes lots of sleeping in atomic warnings, visible with lock events recording.

We need to consider three different sides that access the hlist: - the hlist allocation/release side. This side happens when an events is created or released, accesses to the hlist are serialized under the cpuctx mutex. - the events insertion/removal in the hlist. This side is always serialized against the above one. The hlist is always present during such operations. This side happens when a software event is scheduled in/out. The serialization that ensures the software event is really attached to the context is made under the ctx->lock. - events triggering. This is the read side, it can happen concurrently with any update side. This patch deals with them one by one and anticipates with the separate rcu mem space patches in preparation. This patch fixes various annoying rcu warnings. Reported-by: Paul E.

The problem is that the error path in perf_output_begin() skips to a label which assumes perf_output_lock() has been issued which is not the case. That triggers a WARN_ON() in perf_output_unlock(). This patch fixes the problem by skipping perf_output_unlock() in case data->nr_pages is 0.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 6bde9b6ce0127e2a56228a2071536d422be31336 ("perf: Add group scheduling transactional APIs") added code to allow a group to be scheduled in a single transaction. However, it introduced a bug in handling events whose pmu does not implement transactions -- at the end of scheduling in the events in the group, in the non-transactional case the code now falls through to the group_error label, and proceeds to unschedule all the events in the group and return failure. This fixes it by returning 0 (success) in the non-transactional case.

* perf: Annotate perf_event_read_group() vs perf_event_release_kernel()Peter Zijlstra2010-05-071-2/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Stephane reported a lockdep warning while using PERF_FORMAT_GROUP. The issue is that perf_event_read_group() takes faults while holding the ctx->mutex, while perf_event_release_kernel() can be called from munmap(). Which makes for an AB-BA deadlock. Except we can never establish the deadlock because we'll only ever call perf_event_release_kernel() after all file descriptors are dead so there is no concurrency possible.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The cpu/task clock events implement their own version of exclusion on top of exclude_user and exclude_kernel. The result is that when the event triggered in the kernel but we have exclude_kernel set, we try to rewind using task_pt_regs. There are two side effects of this: - we call task_pt_regs even on kernel threads, which doesn't give us the desired result. - if the event occured in the kernel, we shouldn't rewind to the user context. We want to actually ignore the event. get_irq_regs() will always give us the right interrupted context, so use its result and submit it to perf_exclude_context() that knows when an event must be ignored.
