      perf tools: Fix comm column adjusting · 4273b005
      Frederic Weisbecker authored 
      The librarization of the thread helpers between annotate and
report lost some perf report specifics.

This patch fixes the thread comm column adjusting that has
been omitted during this export.

      perf tools: Remove obsolete defines · 1f18345b
      Ingo Molnar authored 
      The _XOPEN_SOURCE* defines are not really needed on Linux and
it's not like we'll port this to AIX ;-)

The define also broke the build with gcc 4.4.1:

 CC util/trace-event-parse.o
 In file included from util/trace-event-parse.c:32:
 util/util.h:43:1: error: "_XOPEN_SOURCE" redefined

So remove them.

      perf_counter: powerpc: Add callchain support · 20002ded
      Paul Mackerras authored 
      This adds support for tracing callchains for powerpc, both 32-bit
and 64-bit, and both in the kernel and userspace, from PMU interrupt
context.

The first three entries stored for each callchain are the NIP (next
instruction pointer), LR (link register), and the contents of the LR
save area in the second stack frame (the first is ignored because the
ABI convention on powerpc is that functions save their return address
in their caller's stack frame).  Because leaf functions don't have to
save their return address (LR value) and don't have to establish a
stack frame, it's possible for either or both of LR and the second
stack frame's LR save area to have valid return addresses in them.
This is basically impossible to disambiguate without either reading
the code or looking at auxiliary information such as CFI tables.
Since we don't want to do either of those things at interrupt time,
we store both LR and the second stack frame's LR save area.

Once we get past the second stack frame, there is no ambiguity; all
return addresses we get are reliable.

For kernel traces, we check whether they are valid kernel instruction
addresses and store zero instead if they are not (rather than
omitting them, which would make it impossible for userspace to know
which was which).  We also store zero instead of the second stack
frame's LR save area value if it is the same as LR.

For kernel traces, we check for interrupt frames, and for user traces,
we check for signal frames.  In each case, since we're starting a new
trace, we store a PERF_CONTEXT_KERNEL/USER marker so that userspace
knows that the next three entries are NIP, LR and the second stack frame
for the interrupted context.

We read user memory with __get_user_inatomic.  On 64-bit, if this
PMU interrupt occurred while interrupts are soft-disabled, and
there is no MMU hash table entry for the page, we will get an
-EFAULT return from __get_user_inatomic even if there is a valid
Linux PTE for the page, since hash_page isn't reentrant.  Thus we
have code here to read the Linux PTE and access the page via the
kernel linear mapping.  Since 64-bit doesn't use (or need) highmem
there is no need to do kmap_atomic.  On 32-bit, we don't do soft
interrupt disabling, so this complication doesn't occur and there
is no need to fall back to reading the Linux PTE, since hash_page
(or the TLB miss handler) will get called automatically if necessary.

Note that we cannot get PMU interrupts in the interval during
context switch between switch_mm (which switches the user address
space) and switch_to (which actually changes current to the new
process).  On 64-bit this is because interrupts are hard-disabled
in switch_mm and stay hard-disabled until they are soft-enabled
later, after switch_to has returned.  So there is no possibility
of trying to do a user stack trace when the user address space is
not current's address space.

      powerpc: Allow perf_counters to access user memory at interrupt time · 9c1e1052
      Paul Mackerras authored 
      This provides a mechanism to allow the perf_counters code to access
user memory in a PMU interrupt routine.  Such an access can cause
various kinds of interrupt: SLB miss, MMU hash table miss, segment
table miss, or TLB miss, depending on the processor.  This commit
only deals with 64-bit classic/server processors, which use an MMU
hash table.  32-bit processors are already able to access user memory
at interrupt time.  Since we don't soft-disable on 32-bit, we avoid
the possibility of reentering hash_page or the TLB miss handlers,
since they run with interrupts disabled.

On 64-bit processors, an SLB miss interrupt on a user address will
update the slb_cache and slb_cache_ptr fields in the paca.  This is
OK except in the case where a PMU interrupt occurs in switch_slb,
which also accesses those fields.  To prevent this, we hard-disable
interrupts in switch_slb.  Interrupts are already soft-disabled at
this point, and will get hard-enabled when they get soft-enabled
later.

This also reworks slb_flush_and_rebolt: to avoid hard-disabling twice,
and to make sure that it clears the slb_cache_ptr when called from
other callers than switch_slb, the existing routine is renamed to
__slb_flush_and_rebolt, which is called by switch_slb and the new
version of slb_flush_and_rebolt.

Similarly, switch_stab (used on POWER3 and RS64 processors) gets a
hard_irq_disable() to protect the per-cpu variables used there and
in ste_allocate.

If a MMU hashtable miss interrupt occurs, normally we would call
hash_page to look up the Linux PTE for the address and create a HPTE.
However, hash_page is fairly complex and takes some locks, so to
avoid the possibility of deadlock, we check the preemption count
to see if we are in a (pseudo-)NMI handler, and if so, we don't call
hash_page but instead treat it like a bad access that will get
reported up through the exception table mechanism.  An interrupt
whose handler runs even though the interrupt occurred when
soft-disabled (such as the PMU interrupt) is considered a pseudo-NMI
handler, which should use nmi_enter()/nmi_exit() rather than
irq_enter()/irq_exit().

      powerpc/32: Always order writes to halves of 64-bit PTEs · 1660e9d3
      Paul Mackerras authored 
      On 32-bit systems with 64-bit PTEs, the PTEs have to be written in two
32-bit halves.  On SMP we write the higher-order half and then the
lower-order half, with a write barrier between the two halves, but on
UP there was no particular ordering of the writes to the two halves.

This extends the ordering that we already do on SMP to the UP case as
well.  The reason is that with the perf_counter subsystem potentially
accessing user memory at interrupt time to get stack traces, we have
to be careful not to create an incorrect but apparently valid PTE even
on UP.

      perf tools: Librarize trace_event() helper · 8f28827a
      Frederic Weisbecker authored 
      Librarize trace_event() helper so that perf trace can use it
too. Also clean up the debug.h includes a bit.

It's not good to have it included in perf.h because it doesn't
make it flexible against other headers it may need (headers
that can also depend on perf.h and then create a recursive
header dependency).

While at it, rename dprintf() to dump_printf() so that it

      perf tools: Substract -Wformat-nonliteral from Wformat=2 in extra flags · 0d31b82d
      Frederic Weisbecker authored 
      The soon coming perf trace needs to use printf with dynamically
built formats.

But we are using -Wformat=2 which is a shortcut for the
following set: -Wformat -Wformat-security -Wformat-y2k
-Wformat-nonliteral

-Wformat-nonliteral warns when it can't check formats because
they are not builtin constant strings, but we want to feature
dynamic formats. What we want instead is Wformat=2 minus
-Wformat-nonliteral, which is what this patch does.

      perf: Enable more compiler warnings · 83a0944f
      Ingo Molnar authored 
      Related to a shadowed variable bug fix Valdis Kletnieks noticed
that perf does not get built with -Wshadow, which could have
helped us avoid the bug.

So enable -Wshadow and also enable the following warnings on
perf builds, in addition to the already enabled -Wall -Wextra
-std=gnu99 warnings:

 -Wcast-align
 -Wformat=2
 -Wshadow
 -Winit-self
 -Wpacked
 -Wredundant-decls
 -Wstack-protector
 -Wstrict-aliasing=3
 -Wswitch-default
 -Wswitch-enum
 -Wno-system-headers
 -Wundef
 -Wvolatile-register-var
 -Wwrite-strings
 -Wbad-function-cast
 -Wmissing-declarations
 -Wmissing-prototypes
 -Wnested-externs
 -Wold-style-definition
 -Wstrict-prototypes
 -Wdeclaration-after-statement

And change/fix the perf code to build cleanly under GCC 4.3.2.

The list of warnings enablement is rather arbitrary: it's based
on my (quick) reading of the GCC manpages and trying them on
perf.

I categorized the warnings based on individually enabling them
and looking whether they trigger something in the perf build.
If i liked those warnings (i.e. if they trigger for something
that arguably could be improved) i enabled the warning.

If the warnings seemed to come from language laywers spamming
the build with tons of nuisance warnings i generally kept them
off. Most of the sign conversion related warnings were in
this category. (A second patch enabling some of the sign
warnings might be welcome - sign bugs can be nasty.)

I also kept warnings that seem to make sense from their manpage
description and which produced no actual warnings on our code
base. These warnings might still be turned off if they end up
being a nuisance.

I also left out a few warnings that are not supported in older
compilers.

[ Note that these changes might break the build on older
  compilers i did not test, or on non-x86 architectures that
  produce different warnings, so more testing would be welcome. ]
