2018-03-28perf/hwbp: Simplify the perf-hwbp code, fix documentationLinus Torvalds
Annoyingly, modify_user_hw_breakpoint() unnecessarily complicates the modification of a breakpoint - simplify it and remove the pointless local variables. Also update the stale Docbook while at it.

2016-01-21perf: Collapse and fix event_function_call() usersPeter Zijlstra
There is one common bug left in all the event_function_call() users, between loading ctx->task and getting to the remote_function(), ctx->task can already have been changed. Therefore we need to double check and retry if ctx->task != current. Insert another trampoline specific to event_function_call() that checks for this and further validates state. This also allows getting rid of the active/inactive functions.

2015-03-23perf: Remove type specific target pointersPeter Zijlstra
The only reason CQM had to use a hard-coded pmu type was so it could use cqm_target in hw_perf_event. Do away with the {tp,bp,cqm}_target pointers and provide a non type specific one. This allows us to do away with that silly pmu type as well.

2013-06-20hw_breakpoint: Introduce "struct bp_cpuinfo"Oleg Nesterov
This patch simply moves all per-cpu variables into the new single per-cpu "struct bp_cpuinfo". To me this looks more logical and clean, but this can also simplify the further potential changes. In particular, I do not think this memory should be per-cpu, it is never used "locally". After this change it is trivial to turn it into, say, bootmem[nr_cpu_ids].

Add the trivial helper which simply returns cpumask_of() or cpu_possible_mask depending on bp->cpu.

2013-06-20hw_breakpoint: Simplify the "weight" usage in toggle_bp_slot() pathsOleg Nesterov

2013-06-20hw_breakpoint: Simplify list/idx mess in toggle_bp_slot() pathsOleg Nesterov
The enable/disable logic in toggle_bp_slot() is not symmetrical and imho very confusing. "old_count" in toggle_bp_task_slot() is actually new_count because this bp was already removed from the list. Change toggle_bp_slot() to always call list_add/list_del after toggle_bp_task_slot(). This way old_idx is task_bp_pinned() and this entry should be decremented, new_idx is +/-weight and we need to increment this element. The code/logic looks obvious.

2013-06-20hw_breakpoint: Use cpu_possible_mask in {reserve,release}_bp_slot()Oleg Nesterov
fetch_bp_busy_slots() and toggle_bp_slot() use for_each_online_cpu(), this is obviously wrong wrt cpu_up() or cpu_down(), we can over/under account the per-cpu numbers. For example: # echo 0 >> /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online # perf record -e mem:0x10 -p 1 & # echo 1 >> /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online # perf record -e mem:0x10,mem:0x10,mem:0x10,mem:0x10 -C1 -a & # taskset -p 0x2 1 triggers the same WARN_ONCE("Can't find any breakpoint slot") in arch_install_hw_breakpoint().

2013-06-20hw_breakpoint: Fix cpu check in task_bp_pinned(cpu)Oleg Nesterov
trinity fuzzer triggered WARN_ONCE("Can't find any breakpoint slot") in arch_install_hw_breakpoint() but the problem is not arch-specific. The problem is, task_bp_pinned(cpu) checks "cpu == iter->cpu" but this doesn't account the "all cpus" events with iter->cpu < 0. This means that, say, register_user_hw_breakpoint(tsk) can happily create the arbitrary number > HBP_NUM of breakpoints which can not be activated. toggle_bp_task_slot() is equally wrong by the same reason and nr_task_bp_pinned[] can have negative entries. Simple test: # perl -e 'sleep 1 while 1' & # perf record -e mem:0x10,mem:0x10,mem:0x10,mem:0x10,mem:0x10 -p `pidof perl` Before this patch this triggers the same problem/WARN_ON(), after the patch it correctly fails with -ENOSPC.

2012-10-30perf, powerpc: Fix hw breakpoints returning -ENOSPCMichael Neuling
I've been trying to get hardware breakpoints with perf to work on POWER7 but I'm getting the following: % perf record -e mem:0x10000000 true Error: sys_perf_event_open() syscall returned with 28 (No space left on device). /bin/dmesg may provide additional information. Fatal: No CONFIG_PERF_EVENTS=y kernel support configured? true: Terminated (FWIW adding -a and it works fine) Debugging it seems that __reserve_bp_slot() is returning ENOSPC because it thinks there are no free breakpoint slots on this CPU. I have a 2 CPUs, so perf userspace is doing two perf_event_open syscalls to add a counter to each CPU [1]. The first syscall succeeds but the second is failing. On this second syscall, fetch_bp_busy_slots() sets slots.pinned to be 1, despite there being no breakpoint on this CPU. This is because the call the task_bp_pinned, checks all CPUs, rather than just the current CPU. POWER7 only has one hardware breakpoint per CPU (ie. HBP_NUM=1), so we return ENOSPC. The following patch fixes this by checking the associated CPU for each breakpoint in task_bp_pinned. I'm not familiar with this code, so it's provided as a reference to the above issue.

2011-12-21perf, arch: Rework perf_event_index()Peter Zijlstra
Put the logic to compute the event index into a per pmu method. This is required because the x86 rules are weird and wonderful and don't match the capabilities of the current scheme. AFAIK only powerpc actually has a usable userspace read of the PMCs but I'm not at all sure anybody actually used that. ARM is restored to the default since it currently does not support userspace access at all. And all software events are provided with a method that reports their index as 0 (disabled).

2011-07-01perf: Add context field to perf_eventAvi Kivity
The perf_event overflow handler does not receive any caller-derived argument, so many callers need to resort to looking up the perf_event in their local data structure. This is ugly and doesn't scale if a single callback services many perf_events. Fix by adding a context parameter to perf_event_create_kernel_counter() (and derived hardware breakpoints APIs) and storing it in the perf_event. The field can be accessed from the callback as event->overflow_handler_context. All callers are updated.
