2014-12-13uprobes: share the i_mmap_rwsemDavidlohr Bueso
Both register and unregister call build_map_info() in order to create the list of mappings before installing or removing breakpoints for every mm which maps file backed memory. As such, there is no reason to hold the i_mmap_rwsem exclusively, so share it and allow concurrent readers to build the mapping data.

2014-12-13mm: convert i_mmap_mutex to rwsemDavidlohr Bueso
The i_mmap_mutex is a close cousin of the anon vma lock, both protecting similar data, one for file backed pages and the other for anon memory. To this end, this lock can also be a rwsem. In addition, there are some important opportunities to share the lock when there are no tree modifications. This conversion is straightforward. For now, all users take the write lock.

2014-12-11perf: Fix events installation during moving groupJiri Olsa
We allow PMU driver to change the cpu on which the event should be installed to. This happened in patch: e2d37cd213dc ("perf: Allow the PMU driver to choose the CPU on which to install events") This patch also forces all the group members to follow the currently opened events cpu if the group happened to be moved. This and the change of event->cpu in perf_install_in_context() function introduced in: 0cda4c023132 ("perf: Introduce perf_pmu_migrate_context()") forces group members to change their event->cpu, if the currently-opened-event's PMU changed the cpu and there is a group move. Above behaviour causes problem for breakpoint events, which uses event->cpu to touch cpu specific data for breakpoints accounting. By changing event->cpu, some breakpoints slots were wrongly accounted for given cpu. Vinces's perf fuzzer hit this issue and caused following WARN on my setup: WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 20214 at arch/x86/kernel/hw_breakpoint.c:119 arch_install_hw_breakpoint+0x142/0x150() Can't find any breakpoint slot [...] This patch changes the group moving code to keep the event's original cpu.

x86 call do_notify_resume on paranoid returns if TIF_UPROBE is set but not on non-paranoid returns. I suspect that this is a mistake and that the code only works because int3 is paranoid. Setting _TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME in the uprobe code was probably a workaround for the x86 bug. With that bug fixed, we can remove _TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME from the uprobes code.

Enable capture of interrupted machine state for each sample. Registers to sample are passed per event in the sample_regs_intr bitmask. To sample interrupt machine state, the PERF_SAMPLE_INTR_REGS must be passed in sample_type.

2014-11-16perf: Fix corruption of sibling list with hotplugMark Rutland
When a CPU hotplugged out, we call perf_remove_from_context() (via perf_event_exit_cpu()) to rip each CPU-bound event out of its PMU's cpu context, but leave siblings grouped together. Freeing of these events is left to the mercy of the usual refcounting. When a CPU-bound event's refcount drops to zero we cross-call to __perf_remove_from_context() to clean it up, detaching grouped siblings. This works when the relevant CPU is online, but will fail if the CPU is currently offline, and we won't detach the event from its siblings before freeing the event, leaving the sibling list corrupt. If the sibling list is later walked (e.g. because the CPU cam online again before a remaining sibling's refcount drops to zero), we will walk the now corrupted siblings list, potentially dereferencing garbage values. Given that the events should never be scheduled again (as we removed them from their context), we can simply detatch siblings when the CPU goes down in the first place. If the CPU comes back online, the redundant call to __perf_remove_from_context() is safe.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/percpu Pull percpu consistent-ops changes from Tejun Heo: "Way back, before the current percpu allocator was implemented, static and dynamic percpu memory areas were allocated and handled separately and had their own accessors. The distinction has been gone for many years now; however, the now duplicate two sets of accessors remained with the pointer based ones - this_cpu_*() - evolving various other operations over time. During the process, we also accumulated other inconsistent operations. This pull request contains Christoph's patches to clean up the duplicate accessor situation. __get_cpu_var() uses are replaced with with this_cpu_ptr() and __this_cpu_ptr() with raw_cpu_ptr(). Unfortunately, the former sometimes is tricky thanks to C being a bit messy with the distinction between lvalues and pointers, which led to a rather ugly solution for cpumask_var_t involving the introduction of this_cpu_cpumask_var_ptr(). This converts most of the uses but not all. Christoph will follow up with the remaining conversions in this merge window and hopefully remove the obsolete accessors" * 'for-3.18-consistent-ops' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/percpu: (38 commits) irqchip: Properly fetch the per cpu offset percpu: Resolve ambiguities in __get_cpu_var/cpumask_var_t -fix ia64: sn_nodepda cannot be assigned to after this_cpu conversion.

This reverts commit 1f9a7268c67f0290837aada443d28fd953ddca90. With the fix of the initial state for the cloned event we now correctly handle the error described in: 1f9a7268c67f perf: Do not allow optimized switch for non-cloned events so we can revert it. I made an automated test for this, but its not suitable for automated perf tests framework.

2014-09-09perf: Fix a race condition in perf_remove_from_context()Cong Wang
We saw a kernel soft lockup in perf_remove_from_context(), it looks like the `perf` process, when exiting, could not go out of the retry loop. Meanwhile, the target process was forking a child. So either the target process should execute the smp function call to deactive the event (if it was running) or it should do a context switch which deactives the event. It seems we optimize out a context switch in perf_event_context_sched_out(), and what's more important, we still test an obsolete task pointer when retrying, so no one actually would deactive that event in this situation. Fix it directly by reloading the task pointer in perf_remove_from_context(). This should cure the above soft lockup.

2014-08-20perf: Handle compat ioctlPawel Moll
When running a 32-bit userspace on a 64-bit kernel (eg. i386 application on x86_64 kernel or 32-bit arm userspace on arm64 kernel) some of the perf ioctls must be treated with special care, as they have a pointer size encoded in the command. For example, PERF_EVENT_IOC_ID in 32-bit world will be encoded as 0x80042407, but 64-bit kernel will expect 0x80082407. In result the ioctl will fail returning -ENOTTY.

One should first enqueue to the waitqueue and then check for the condition. If the condition gets true after mutex_unlock() but before poll_wait() then we lose it and would have wait for another wakeup. This has been like this since v2.6.31-rc1 commit c7138f37f9 ("perf_counter: fix perf_poll()"). Before that it was slightly worse. I guess we get enough wakeups so if we miss here one it doesn't really matter. It is still a bad example.

2014-08-13perf: Add queued work to remove orphaned child eventsJiri Olsa
In cases when the owner task exits before the workload and the workload made some forks, all the events stay in until the last workload process exits. Thats' because each child event holds parent reference. We want to release all children events once the parent is gone, because at that time there's no process to read them anyway, so they're just eating resources. This removal races with process exit, which removes all events and fork, which clone events. To be clear of those two, adding work queue to remove orphaned child for context in case such event is detected. Using delayed work queue (with delay == 1), because we queue this work under perf scheduler callbacks. Normal work queue tries to wake up the queue process, which deadlocks on rq->lock in this place. Also preventing clones from abandoned parent event.

2014-08-08mm: memcontrol: rewrite charge APIJohannes Weiner
These patches rework memcg charge lifetime to integrate more naturally with the lifetime of user pages. This drastically simplifies the code and reduces charging and uncharging overhead. The most expensive part of charging and uncharging is the page_cgroup bit spinlock, which is removed entirely after this series. Here are the top-10 profile entries of a stress test that reads a 128G sparse file on a freshly booted box, without even a dedicated cgroup (i.e. executing in the root memcg).

Worse, uncharge has to happen from a context that is still type-specific, rather than at the end of the page's lifetime with exclusive access, and so requires a lot of synchronization. Rewrite the charge API to provide a generic set of try_charge(), commit_charge() and cancel_charge() transaction operations, much like what's currently done for swap-in: mem_cgroup_try_charge() attempts to reserve a charge, reclaiming pages from the memcg if necessary. mem_cgroup_commit_charge() commits the page to the charge once it has a valid page->mapping and PageAnon() reliably tells the type. mem_cgroup_cancel_charge() aborts the transaction. This reduces the charge API and enables subsequent patches to drastically simplify uncharging. As pages need to be committed after rmap is established but before they are added to the LRU, page_add_new_anon_rmap() must stop doing LRU additions again.

I can't immediately see how this changed recently, but given that you say it's easy to reproduce, lets fix this.

2014-07-16perf: Revert ("perf: Always destroy groups on exit")Peter Zijlstra
Vince reported that commit 15a2d4de0eab5 ("perf: Always destroy groups on exit") causes a regression with grouped events. In particular his read_group_attached.c test fails. https://github.com/deater/perf_event_tests/blob/master/tests/bugs/read_group_attached.c Because of the context switch optimization in perf_event_context_sched_out() the 'original' event may end up in the child process and when that exits the change in the patch in question destroys the actual grouping. Therefore revert that change and only destroy inherited groups.
