Fix a bug introduced with commit de725de and the change in the
meaning of the return value of intel_pmu_handle_irq(). With the
current code, when you are using the BTS, you get 'dazed by NMI'
each time the BTS buffer fills up.
BTS does interrupt on the PMU vector, thus NMI. You need to take
this into account in the return value of the function.
This version fixes initial patch which was missing changes to
perf_event_intel_ds.c.

Assuming we don't mix events of different pmus onto a single context
(with the exeption of software events inside a hardware group) we can
now assume that all events on a particular context belong to the same
pmu, hence we can disable the pmu for the entire context operations.
This reduces the amount of hardware writes.
The exception for swevents comes from the fact that the sw pmu disable
is a nop.

A more flexible approach would have resulted in more pointer chases
in the scheduling hot-paths. This approach has the limitation of a
static number of task contexts.
Since I expect most external PMUs to be system wide, or at least node
wide (as per the intel uncore unit) they won't actually need a task

Replace pmu::{enable,disable,start,stop,unthrottle} with
pmu::{add,del,start,stop}, all of which take a flags argument.
The new interface extends the capability to stop a counter while
keeping it scheduled on the PMU. We replace the throttled state with
the generic stopped state.
This also allows us to efficiently stop/start counters over certain
code paths (like IRQ handlers).
It also allows scheduling a counter without it starting, allowing for
a generic frozen state (useful for rotating stopped counters).
The stopped state is implemented in two different ways, depending on
how the architecture implemented the throttled state:
1) We disable the counter:
a) the pmu has per-counter enable bits, we flip that
b) we program a NOP event, preserving the counter state
2) We store the counter state and ignore all read/overflow events

Set "argN" name for each argument automatically if it has no specified name.
Since dynamic trace event(kprobe_events) accepts special characters for its
argument, its format can show those special characters (e.g. '$', '%', '+').
However, perf can't parse those format because of the character (especially
'%') mess up the format. This sets "argX" name for those arguments if user
omitted the argument names.
E.g.
# echo 'p do_fork %ax IP=%ip $stack' > tracing/kprobe_events
# cat tracing/kprobe_events
p:kprobes/p_do_fork_0 do_fork arg1=%ax IP=%ip arg3=$stack

Reading the file set_ftrace_filter does three things.
1) shows whether or not filters are set for the function tracer
2) shows what functions are set for the function tracer
3) shows what triggers are set on any functions
3 is independent from 1 and 2.
The way this file currently works is that it is a state machine,
and as you read it, it may change state. But this assumption breaks
when you use lseek() on the file. The state machine gets out of sync
and the t_show() may use the wrong pointer and cause a kernel oops.
Luckily, this will only kill the app that does the lseek, but the app
dies while holding a mutex. This prevents anyone else from using the
set_ftrace_filter file (or any other function tracing file for that matter).
A real fix for this is to rewrite the code, but that is too much for
a -rc release or stable. This patch simply disables llseek on the
set_ftrace_filter() file for now, and we can do the proper fix for the
next major release.

If you set script, perf gathers records until it ends.
If not, you must Ctrl-C to stop recording.
And if you want a report from record,
If you use some options, you can limit the output.
Option is below.
tx: show only tx packets processing
rx: show only rx packets processing
dev=: show processing on this device
debug: work with debug mode. It shows buffer status.
For example, if you want to show received packets processing
associated with eth4,

|
softirq_entry(+0.006msec)

| skb_copy_datagram_iovec(+0.039msec 10291::10291)

[ factorize softirq events with DECLARE_EVENT_CLASS ]

When the PMU is enabled it is valid to have unhandled nmis, two
events could trigger 'simultaneously' raising two back-to-back
NMIs. If the first NMI handles both, the latter will be empty
and daze the CPU.
The solution to avoid an 'unknown nmi' massage in this case was
simply to stop the nmi handler chain when the PMU is enabled by
stating the nmi was handled. This has the drawback that a) we
can not detect unknown nmis anymore, and b) subsequent nmi
handlers are not called.
This patch addresses this. Now, we check this unknown NMI if it
could be a PMU back-to-back NMI. Otherwise we pass it and let
the kernel handle the unknown nmi.
This is a debug log:

Uhhuh. NMI received for unknown reason 00 on CPU 6.
Do you have a strange power saving mode enabled?

For back-to-back nmi detection there are the following rules:
The PMU nmi handler was handling more than one counter and no
counter was handled in the subsequent nmi (see [1] and [2]
above).
There is another case if there are two subsequent back-to-back
nmis [3]. The 2nd is detected as back-to-back because the first
handled more than one counter. If the second handles one counter
and the 3rd handles nothing, we drop the 3rd nmi because it
could be a back-to-back nmi.

During testing of a patch to stop having the perf subsytem
swallow nmis, it was uncovered that Nehalem boxes were randomly
getting unknown nmis when using the perf tool.
Moving the ack'ing of the PMI closer to when we get the status
allows the hardware to properly re-set the PMU bit signaling
another PMI was triggered during the processing of the first
PMI. This allows the new logic for dealing with the
shortcomings of multiple PMIs to handle the extra NMI by
'eat'ing it later.
Now one can wonder why are we getting a second PMI when we
disable all the PMUs in the begining of the NMI handler to
prevent such a case, for that I do not know. But I know the fix
below helps deal with this quirk.
Tested on multiple Nehalems where the problem was occuring.
With the patch, the code now loops a second time to handle the
second PMI (whereas before it was not).

While discussing the strictness of the 80 character limit on the
Kernel Summit Discussion mailing list, I showed examples that I
broke that limit slightly with some algorithms. In discussing with
John Linville, what looked better, I realized that two of the
80 char breaking culprits were an identical expression.
As a clean up, this patch moves the identical expression into its
own helper function and that is used instead. As a side effect,
the offending code is now under the 80 character limit. :-)
This clean up code also changes the expression from
(A - B) - C to A - (B + C)
This makes the code look a little nicer too.

During my rewrite, the semantics of touch_nmi_watchdog and
touch_softlockup_watchdog changed enough to break some drivers
(mostly over preemptable regions).
These are cases where long delays on one CPU (due to
print_delay for example) can cause long delays on other
CPUs - so we must 'touch' the nmi_watchdog flag of those
other CPUs as well.
This change brings those touch_*_watchdog() functions back in line
with to how they used to work.

Implements verification of
- Bits of ESCR EventMask field (meaningful bits in field are hardware
predefined and others bits should be set to zero)
- INSTR_COMPLETED event (it is available on predefined cpu model only)
- Thread shared events (they should be guarded by "perf_event_paranoid"
sysctl due to security reason). The side effect of this action is
that PERF_COUNT_HW_BUS_CYCLES become a "paranoid" general event.

By the commit e6bde73b07
("cpu-hotplug: return better errno on cpu hotplug failure"),
the cpu notifier can return encapsulate errno value, resulting
in more meaningful error codes for CPU hotplug failures.
This converts the cpu notifier to return encapsulate errno value
for the lockup_detector as well.
