Stephane noticed that because the perf_sw_event() call is inside the
perf_event_task_sched_out() call it won't get called unless we
have a per-task counter.

This leads to a Kconfig dep inversion, x86 selects PERF_EVENT (due to
a hw_breakpoint dep) but doesn't unconditionally provide
HAVE_PERF_EVENT.
(This can cause build failures on M386/M486 kernel .config's.)

In a kvm virt guests, the perf counters are not emulated. Instead they
return zero on a rdmsrl. The perf nmi handler uses the fact that crossing
a zero means the counter overflowed (for those counters that do not have
specific interrupt bits). Therefore on kvm guests, perf will swallow all
NMIs thinking the counters overflowed.
This causes problems for subsystems like kgdb which needs NMIs to do its
magic. This problem was discovered by running kgdb tests.
The solution is to write garbage into a perf counter during the
initialization and hopefully reading back the same number. On kvm
guests, the value will be read back as zero and we disable perf as
a result.

It was found that sometimes children of tasks with inherited events had
one extra event. Eventually it turned out to be due to the list rotation
no being exclusive with the list iteration in the inheritance code.
Cure this by temporarily disabling the rotation while we inherit the events.

At least on ARM, padding is inserted between rb_node and sym in struct
symbol_name_rb_node, causing "((void *)sym) - sizeof(struct rb_node)" to
point inside rb_node rather than to the symbol_name_rb_node. Fix this
by converting the code to use container_of().

The 59365d1 commit, even being reverted by 33e0d57, showed a non robust
behavior in 'perf record': it really should just warn the user that some
functionality will not be available.
The new behavior then becomes:
[acme@felicio linux]$ ls -la /proc/{kallsyms,modules}
-r-------- 1 root root 0 Nov 22 12:19 /proc/kallsyms
-r-------- 1 root root 0 Nov 22 12:19 /proc/modules
[acme@felicio linux]$ perf record ls -R > /dev/null
Couldn't record kernel reference relocation symbol
Symbol resolution may be skewed if relocation was used (e.g. kexec).
Check /proc/kallsyms permission or run as root.

That can be used in another machine to resolve kernel symbols.

This patch makes several changes to "perf stat":
- "perf stat" will no longer go ahead and run the application when one or
more of the specified events could not be opened.
- Use error() and die() instead of pr_err() so that the output is more
consistent with "perf top" and "perf record".
- Handle permission errors in a more robust way, and in a similar way to
"perf record" and "perf top".
In addition, the sys_perf_event_open() error handling of "perf top" and "perf
record" is made more consistent and adds the following phrase when an event
doesn't open (with something ther than an access or permission error):
"/bin/dmesg may provide additional information."
This is added because kernel code doesn't have a good way of expressing
detailed errors to user space, so its only avenue is to use printk's. However,
many users may not think of looking at dmesg to find out why an event is being
rejected.

* 'for_linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tytso/ext4:
ext4: Add EXT4_IOC_TRIM ioctl to handle batched discard
fs: Do not dispatch FITRIM through separate super_operation
ext4: ext4_fill_super shouldn't return 0 on corruption
jbd2: fix /proc/fs/jbd2/<dev> when using an external journal
ext4: missing unlock in ext4_clear_request_list()
ext4: fix setting random pages PageUptodate
Filesystem independent ioctl was rejected as not common enough to be in
core vfs ioctl. Since we still need to access to this functionality this
commit adds ext4 specific ioctl EXT4_IOC_TRIM to dispatch
ext4_trim_fs().
It takes fstrim_range structure as an argument. fstrim_range is definec in
the include/linux/fs.h and its definition is as follows.
struct fstrim_range {
__u64 start;
__u64 len;
__u64 minlen;
}
start - first Byte to trim
len - number of Bytes to trim from start
minlen - minimum extent length to trim, free extents shorter than this
number of Bytes will be ignored. This will be rounded up to fs
block size.
After the FITRIM is done, the number of actually discarded Bytes is stored
in fstrim_range.len to give the user better insight on how much storage
space has been really released for wear-leveling.

There was concern that FITRIM ioctl is not common enough to be included
in core vfs ioctl, as Christoph Hellwig pointed out there's no real point
in dispatching this out to a separate vector instead of just through
->ioctl.
So this commit removes ioctl_fstrim() from vfs ioctl and trim_fs
from super_operation structure.

This reverts commit 59365d136d.
It turns out that this can break certain existing user land setups.
Quoth Sarah Sharp:
"On Wednesday, I updated my branch to commit 460781b from linus' tree,
and my box would not boot. klogd segfaulted, which stalled the whole
system.
At first I thought it actually hung the box, but it continued booting
after 5 minutes, and I was able to log in. It dropped back to the
text console instead of the graphical bootup display for that period
of time. dmesg surprisingly still works. I've bisected the problem
down to this commit (commit 59365d136d)
The box is running klogd 1.5.5ubuntu3 (from Jaunty). Yes, I know
that's old. I read the bit in the commit about changing the
permissions of kallsyms after boot, but if I can't boot that doesn't
help."
So let's just keep the old default, and encourage distributions to do
the "chmod -r /proc/kallsyms" in their bootup scripts. This is not
worth a kernel option to change default behavior, since it's so easily
done in user space.

This change removes the use of hardcoded absolute "/usr/include/elfutils" paths
from the perf build. The problem with hardcoded paths is that it prevents them
from being overridden by $prefix or by -I in CFLAGS (e.g., for cross-compiling
purposes).
Instead, just include the "elfutils/" subdirectory as a relative path when
files are needed from that directory.
Tested by building perf:
- Cross-compiled for ARM on x86_64
- Built natively on x86_64
- Built on x86_64 with /usr/include/elfutils moved to another location
and manually included in CFLAGS
