Commit 4ed7c92d (perf_events: Undo some recursion damage) has introduced a bad reference counting of the recursion context. putting the context behaves like getting it, dropping every software/trace events after the first one in a context. Signed-off-by:

The validate_event() was failing on valid event combinations. The function was assuming that if x86_schedule_event() returned 0, it meant error. But x86_schedule_event() returns the counter index and 0 is a perfectly valid value. An error is returned if the function returns a negative value. Furthermore, validate_event() was also failing for event groups because the event->pmu was not set until after hw_perf_event_init(). Signed-off-by:

And also express its configuration toggles via a struct. Now all one has to do is to call symbol__init(NULL) if the defaults are OK, or pass a struct symbol_conf pointer with the desired configuration. If a tool uses kernel_maps__find_symbol() to look at the kernel and modules mappings for a symbol but didn't call symbol__init() first, that will generate a one time warning too, alerting the subcommand developer that symbol__init() must be called.

Ingo found it confusing, and I agree with that, for 'perf report' its OK because it is static, but for a tool refreshing it the eventual switch from column to summary at the top may seem confusing. Suggested-by:

Currently, perf fails to compile on powerpc with this error: CC util/header.o In file included from util/../perf.h:17, from util/header.c:9: util/../../../arch/powerpc/include/asm/unistd.h:360:27: error: linux/linkage.h: No such file or directory make: *** [util/header.o] Error 1 The reason is that we still have a #define __KERNEL__ in effect at the point where <asm/unistd.h> gets included, which means we get extra stuff that we don't need or want. This fixes the problem by undefining __KERNEL__ once we have included the file for which we need __KERNEL__ defined.

Add the remaining necessary bits to support breakpoints created through perf syscall. We don't use the software counter interface as: - We don't need to check against recursion, this is already done in hardware breakpoints arch level. - We already know the perf event we are dealing with when the event is to be committed.

Perf tools create perf events as disabled in the beginning. Breakpoints are then considered like ptrace temporary breakpoints, only meant to reserve a breakpoint slot until we get all the necessary informations from the user. In this case, we don't check the address that is breakpointed as it is NULL in the ptrace case. But perf tools don't have the same purpose, events are created disabled to wait for all events to be created before enabling all of them. We want to check the breakpoint parameters in this case.

It is quite possible to call update_event_times() on a context that isn't actually running and thereby confuse the thing. perf stat was reporting !100% scale values for software counters (2e2af50b perf_events: Disable events when we detach them, solved the worst of that, but there was still some left). The thing that happens is that because we are not self-reaping (we have a caring parent) there is a time between the last schedule (out) and having do_exit() called which will detach the events. This period would be accounted as enabled,!running because the event->state==INACTIVE, even though !event->ctx->is_active. Similar issues could have been observed by calling read() on a event while the attached task was not scheduled in. Solve this by teaching update_event_times() about ctx->is_active. Signed-off-by:

Move the update_event_times() call in __perf_event_exit_task() into list_del_event() because that holds the proper lock (ctx->lock) and seems a more natural place to do the last time update. Signed-off-by:

It appeared we did call update_event_times() on exit, but we failed to update the context time, which renders the former moot. Locking is a bit iffy, we call update_event_times under ctx->mutex instead of ctx->lock - the next patch fixes this. Signed-off-by:

If we leave the event in STATE_INACTIVE, any read of the event after the detach will increase the running count but not the enabled count and cause funny scaling artefacts. Signed-off-by:
