      perf_counter, x86: Set global control MSR correctly · c14dab5c
      Yong Wang authored 
      Previous code made an assumption that the power on value of global
control MSR has enabled all fixed and general purpose counters properly.

However, this is not the case for certain Intel processors, such as
Atom - and it might also be firmware dependent.

Each enable bit in IA32_PERF_GLOBAL_CTRL is AND'ed with the
enable bits for all privilege levels in the respective IA32_PERFEVTSELx
or IA32_PERF_FIXED_CTR_CTRL MSRs to start/stop the counting of
respective counters. Counting is enabled if the AND'ed results is true;
counting is disabled when the result is false.

The end result is that all fixed counters are always disabled on Atom
processors because the assumption is just invalid.

Fix this by not initializing the ctrl-mask out of the global MSR,
but setting it to perf_counter_mask.

      size_t res cannot be less than 0 - fread returns 0 on error.

      perf_counter tools: Fix vmlinux fallback when running on a different kernel · c1f47b45
      Ingo Molnar authored 
      Lucas De Marchi reported that perf report and perf annotate
displays mismatching profile if a perf.data is analyzed on
an older kernel - even if the correct vmlinux is specified
via the -k option.

The reason is the fallback path in util/symbol.c:dso__load_kernel():

int dso__load_kernel(struct dso *self, const char *vmlinux,
                     symbol_filter_t filter, int verbose)
{
        int err = -1;

        if (vmlinux)
                err = dso__load_vmlinux(self, vmlinux, filter, verbose);

        if (err)
                err = dso__load_kallsyms(self, filter, verbose);

        return err;
}

dso__load_vmlinux() returns negative on error, but on success it
returns the number of symbols loaded - which confuses the function
to load the kallsyms.

This is normally harmless, as reporting is usually performed on the
same kernel that is analyzed - but if there's a mismatch then we
load the wrong kallsyms and create a non-sensical symbol tree.

The fix is to only fall back to kallsyms on errors.
