The purpose of perf_output_{un,}lock() is to:
1) avoid publishing incomplete data
[ possible when publishing a head that is ahead of an entry
that is still being written ]
2) guarantee fwd progress
[ a simple refcount on pending writers doesn't need to drop to
0, making it so would end up implementing something like forced
quiecent states of RCU ]
To satisfy the above without undue complexity it serializes
between CPUs, this means that a pending writer can only be the
same cpu in a nested context, and since (under normal operation)
a cpu always makes progress we're good -- if the head is only
published when the bottom most writer completes.
Now we don't need to disable IRQs in order to serialize between
CPUs, disabling preemption ought to be sufficient, esp since we
already deal with nesting due to NMIs.
This avoids potentially expensive (and needless) local IRQ
disable/enable ops.

Lockdep events subsystem gathers various locking related events
such as a request, release, contention or acquisition of a lock.
The name of this event subsystem is a bit of a misnomer since
these events are not quite related to lockdep but more generally
to locking, ie: these events are not reporting lock dependencies
or possible deadlock scenario but pure locking events.
Hence this rename.

Allow or refuse to build a counter using the breakpoints pmu following
given constraints.
We keep track of the pmu users by using three per cpu variables:
- nr_cpu_bp_pinned stores the number of pinned cpu breakpoints counters
in the given cpu
- nr_bp_flexible stores the number of non-pinned breakpoints counters
in the given cpu.
- task_bp_pinned stores the number of pinned task breakpoints in a cpu
The latter is not a simple counter but gathers the number of tasks that
have n pinned breakpoints.
Considering HBP_NUM the number of available breakpoint address
registers:
task_bp_pinned[0] is the number of tasks having 1 breakpoint
task_bp_pinned[1] is the number of tasks having 2 breakpoints
[...]
task_bp_pinned[HBP_NUM - 1] is the number of tasks having the
maximum number of registers (HBP_NUM).
When a breakpoint counter is created and wants an access to the pmu,
we evaluate the following constraints:
== Non-pinned counter ==
- If attached to a single cpu, check:
(per_cpu(nr_bp_flexible, cpu) || (per_cpu(nr_cpu_bp_pinned, cpu)
+ max(per_cpu(task_bp_pinned, cpu)))) < HBP_NUM
-> If there are already non-pinned counters in this cpu, it
means there is already a free slot for them.
Otherwise, we check that the maximum number of per task
breakpoints (for this cpu) plus the number of per cpu
breakpoint (for this cpu) doesn't cover every registers.
- If attached to every cpus, check:
(per_cpu(nr_bp_flexible, *) || (max(per_cpu(nr_cpu_bp_pinned, *))
+ max(per_cpu(task_bp_pinned, *)))) < HBP_NUM
-> This is roughly the same, except we check the number of per
cpu bp for every cpu and we keep the max one. Same for the
per tasks breakpoints.
== Pinned counter ==
- If attached to a single cpu, check:
((per_cpu(nr_bp_flexible, cpu) > 1)
+ per_cpu(nr_cpu_bp_pinned, cpu)
+ max(per_cpu(task_bp_pinned, cpu))) < HBP_NUM
-> Same checks as before. But now the nr_bp_flexible, if any,
must keep one register at least (or flexible breakpoints will
never be be fed).
- If attached to every cpus, check:
((per_cpu(nr_bp_flexible, *) > 1)
+ max(per_cpu(nr_cpu_bp_pinned, *))
+ max(per_cpu(task_bp_pinned, *))) < HBP_NUM
Changes in v2:
- Counter -> event rename
Changes in v5:
- Fix unreleased non-pinned task-bound-only counters. We only released
it in the first cpu. (Thanks to Paul Mackerras for reporting that)
Changes in v6:
- Currently, events scheduling are done in this order: cpu context
pinned + cpu context non-pinned + task context pinned + task context
non-pinned events. Then our current constraints are right theoretically
but not in practice, because non-pinned counters may be scheduled
before we can apply every possible pinned counters. So consider
non-pinned counters as pinned for now.

This patch rebase the implementation of the breakpoints API on top of
perf events instances.
Each breakpoints are now perf events that handle the
register scheduling, thread/cpu attachment, etc..
The new layering is now made as follows:
ptrace kgdb ftrace perf syscall
\ | / /
\ | / /
/
Core breakpoint API /
/
| /
| /
Breakpoints perf events
|
|
Breakpoints PMU ---- Debug Register constraints handling
(Part of core breakpoint API)
|
|
Hardware debug registers
Reasons of this rewrite:
- Use the centralized/optimized pmu registers scheduling,
implying an easier arch integration
- More powerful register handling: perf attributes (pinned/flexible
events, exclusive/non-exclusive, tunable period, etc...)
Impact:
- New perf ABI: the hardware breakpoints counters
- Ptrace breakpoints setting remains tricky and still needs some per
thread breakpoints references.
Todo (in the order):
- Support breakpoints perf counter events for perf tools (ie: implement
perf_bpcounter_event())
- Support from perf tools
Changes in v2:
- Follow the perf "event " rename
- The ptrace regression have been fixed (ptrace breakpoint perf events
weren't released when a task ended)
- Drop the struct hw_breakpoint and store generic fields in
perf_event_attr.
- Separate core and arch specific headers, drop
asm-generic/hw_breakpoint.h and create linux/hw_breakpoint.h
- Use new generic len/type for breakpoint
- Handle off case: when breakpoints api is not supported by an arch
Changes in v3:
- Fix broken CONFIG_KVM, we need to propagate the breakpoint api
changes to kvm when we exit the guest and restore the bp registers
to the host.
Changes in v4:
- Drop the hw_breakpoint_restore() stub as it is only used by KVM
- EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL hw_breakpoint_restore() as KVM can be built as a
module
- Restore the breakpoints unconditionally on kvm guest exit:
TIF_DEBUG_THREAD doesn't anymore cover every cases of running
breakpoints and vcpu->arch.switch_db_regs might not always be
set when the guest used debug registers.
(Waiting for a reliable optimization)
Changes in v5:
- Split-up the asm-generic/hw-breakpoint.h moving to
linux/hw_breakpoint.h into a separate patch
- Optimize the breakpoints restoring while switching from kvm guest
to host. We only want to restore the state if we have active
breakpoints to the host, otherwise we don't care about messed-up
address registers.
- Add asm/hw_breakpoint.h to Kbuild
- Fix bad breakpoint type in trace_selftest.c
Changes in v6:
- Fix wrong header inclusion in trace.h (triggered a build
error with CONFIG_FTRACE_SELFTEST

While tracing using events with perf, if one enables the
lockdep:lock_acquire event, it will infect every other perf
trace events.
Basically, you can enable whatever set of trace events through
perf but if this event is part of the set, the only result we
can get is a long list of lock_acquire events of rcu read lock,
and only that.
This is because of a recursion inside perf.
1) When a trace event is triggered, it will fill a per cpu
buffer and submit it to perf.
2) Perf will commit this event but will also protect some data
using rcu_read_lock
3) A recursion appears: rcu_read_lock triggers a lock_acquire
event that will fill the per cpu event and then submit the
buffer to perf.
4) Perf detects a recursion and ignores it
5) Perf continues its work on the previous event, but its buffer
has been overwritten by the lock_acquire event, it has then
been turned into a lock_acquire event of rcu read lock
Such scenario also happens with lock_release with
rcu_read_unlock().
We could turn the rcu_read_lock() into __rcu_read_lock() to drop
the lock debugging from perf fast path, but that would make us
lose the rcu debugging and that doesn't prevent from other
possible kind of recursion from perf in the future.
This patch adds a recursion protection based on a counter on the
perf trace per cpu buffers to solve the problem.

There are reasons for kernel code to ask for, and use, performance
counters.
For example, in CPU freq governors this tends to be a good idea, but
there are other examples possible as well of course.
This patch adds the needed bits to do enable this functionality; they
have been tested in an experimental cpufreq driver that I'm working on,
and the changes are all that I needed to access counters properly.

nr_processes() returns the sum of the per cpu counter process_counts for
all online CPUs. This counter is incremented for the current CPU on
fork() and decremented for the current CPU on exit(). Since a process
does not necessarily fork and exit on the same CPU the process_count for
an individual CPU can be either positive or negative and effectively has
no meaning in isolation.
Therefore calculating the sum of process_counts over only the online
CPUs omits the processes which were started or stopped on any CPU which
has since been unplugged. Only the sum of process_counts across all
possible CPUs has meaning.
The only caller of nr_processes() is proc_root_getattr() which
calculates the number of links to /proc as
stat->nlink = proc_root.nlink + nr_processes();
You don't have to be all that unlucky for the nr_processes() to return a
negative value leading to a negative number of links (or rather, an
apparently enormous number of links). If this happens then you can get
failures where things like "ls /proc" start to fail because they got an
-EOVERFLOW from some stat() call.
Example with some debugging inserted to show what goes on:

I'm not 100% convinced that the per_cpu regions remain valid for offline
CPUs, although my testing suggests that they do. If not then I think the
correct solution would be to aggregate the process_count for a given CPU

1. CPU 0 calls force_quiescent_state(), sees that there is a
grace period in progress, and acquires ->fsqlock.
2. CPU 1 detects the end of the grace period, and so
cpu_quiet_msk_finish() sets rsp->completed to rsp->gpnum.
This operation is carried out under the root rnp->lock,
but CPU 0 has not yet acquired that lock. Note that
rsp->signaled is still RCU_SAVE_DYNTICK from the last
grace period.
3. CPU 1 calls rcu_start_gp(), but no one wants a new grace
period, so it drops the root rnp->lock and returns.
4. CPU 0 acquires the root rnp->lock and picks up rsp->completed
and rsp->signaled, then drops rnp->lock. It then enters the
RCU_SAVE_DYNTICK leg of the switch statement.
5. CPU 2 invokes call_rcu(), and now needs a new grace period.
It calls rcu_start_gp(), which acquires the root rnp->lock, sets
rsp->signaled to RCU_GP_INIT (too bad that CPU 0 is already in
the RCU_SAVE_DYNTICK leg of the switch statement!) and starts
initializing the rcu_node hierarchy. If there are multiple
levels to the hierarchy, it will drop the root rnp->lock and
initialize the lower levels of the hierarchy.
6. CPU 0 notes that rsp->completed has not changed, which permits
both CPU 2 and CPU 0 to try updating it concurrently. If CPU 0's
update prevails, later calls to force_quiescent_state() can
count old quiescent states against the new grace period, which
can in turn result in premature ending of grace periods.
Not good.
This patch adds an RCU_GP_IDLE state for rsp->signaled that is
set initially at boot time and any time a grace period ends.
This prevents CPU 0 from getting into the workings of
force_quiescent_state() in step 4. Additional locking and
checks prevent the concurrent update of rsp->signaled in step 6.

debugobjects warns about an enqueued timer being initialized. If
CONFIG_USER_SCHED=y the user management code uses delayed work to
remove the user from the hash table and tear down the sysfs objects.
free_uid is called from RCU and initializes/schedules delayed work if
the usage count of the user_struct is 0. The init/schedule happens
outside of the uidhash_lock protected region which allows a concurrent
caller of find_user() to reference the about to be destroyed
user_struct w/o preventing the work from being scheduled. If the next
free_uid call happens before the work timer expired then the active
timer is initialized and the work scheduled again.
The race was introduced in commit 5cb350ba (sched: group scheduling,
sysfs tunables) and made more prominent by commit 3959214f (sched:
delayed cleanup of user_struct)
Move the init/schedule_delayed_work inside of the uidhash_lock
protected region to prevent the race.

I got a boot crash when forcing cpumasks offstack on 32 bit,
because find_new_ilb() returned 3 on my UP system (nohz.cpu_mask
wasn't zeroed).
AFAICT the others need to be zeroed too: only
nohz.ilb_grp_nohz_mask is initialized before use.

The warning is
---> WARN_ON_ONCE(in_irq() || irqs_disabled());
The network code must not be called with disabled interrupts but
sys_setsid holds the tasklist_lock with spinlock_irq while calling the
connector.
After a discussion we agreed that we can move proc_sid_connector from
__set_special_pids to sys_setsid.
We also agreed that it is sufficient to change the check from
task_session(curr) != pid into err > 0, since if we don't change the
session, this means we were already the leader and return -EPERM.
One last thing:
There is also daemonize(), and some people might want to get a
notification in that case. Since daemonize() is only needed if a user
space does kernel_thread this does not look important (and there seems
to be no consensus if this connector should be called in daemonize). If
we really want this, we can add proc_sid_connector to daemonize() in an
additional patch (Scott?)

We create a dummy struct kernel_param on the stack for parsing each
array element, but we didn't initialize the flags word. This matters
for arrays of type "bool", where the flag indicates if it really is
an array of bools or unsigned int (old-style).
