c81b995f00 Merge branch 'perf-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip 
Pull perf fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
 "A pile of perf updates:

  Kernel side:

   - Remove an incorrect warning in uprobe_init_insn() when
     insn_get_length() fails. The error return code is handled at the
     call site.

   - Move the inline keyword to the right place in the perf ringbuffer
     code to address a W=1 build warning.

  Tooling:

  perf stat:

   - Fix metric column header display alignment

   - Improve error messages for default attributes, providing better
     output for error in command line.

   - Add --interval-clear option, to provide a 'watch' like printing

  perf script:

   - Show hw-cache events too

  perf c2c:

   - Fix data dependency problem in layout of 'struct c2c_hist_entry'

  Core:

   - Do not blindly assume that 'struct perf_evsel' can be obtained via
     a straight forward container_of() as there are call sites which
     hand in a plain 'struct hist' which is not part of a container.

   - Fix error index in the PMU event parser, so that error messages can
     point to the problematic token"

57d6a7938a perf/core: Move the inline keyword at the beginning of the function declaration 
When building perf with W=1 the following warning triggers:

  CC      kernel/events/ring_buffer.o
  kernel/events/ring_buffer.c:105:1: warning: ‘inline’ is not at beginning of declaration [-Wold-style-declaration]

590b5b7d86 treewide: kzalloc_node() -> kcalloc_node() 
The kzalloc_node() function has a 2-factor argument form, kcalloc_node(). This
patch replaces cases of:

        kzalloc_node(a * b, gfp, node)

with:
        kcalloc_node(a * b, gfp, node)

as well as handling cases of:

        kzalloc_node(a * b * c, gfp, node)

with:

        kzalloc_node(array3_size(a, b, c), gfp, node)

as it's slightly less ugly than:

        kcalloc_node(array_size(a, b), c, gfp, node)

This does, however, attempt to ignore constant size factors like:

        kzalloc_node(4 * 1024, gfp, node)

though any constants defined via macros get caught up in the conversion.

Any factors with a sizeof() of "unsigned char", "char", and "u8" were
dropped, since they're redundant.

The Coccinelle script used for this was:

a9a08845e9 vfs: do bulk POLL* -> EPOLL* replacement 
This is the mindless scripted replacement of kernel use of POLL*
variables as described by Al, done by this script:

    for V in IN OUT PRI ERR RDNORM RDBAND WRNORM WRBAND HUP RDHUP NVAL MSG; do
        L=`git grep -l -w POLL$V | grep -v '^t' | grep -v /um/ | grep -v '^sa' | grep -v '/poll.h$'|grep -v '^D'`
        for f in $L; do sed -i "-es/^\([^\"]*\)\(\<POLL$V\>\)/\\1E\\2/" $f; done
    done

with de-mangling cleanups yet to come.

NOTE! On almost all architectures, the EPOLL* constants have the same
values as the POLL* constants do.  But they keyword here is "almost".
For various bad reasons they aren't the same, and epoll() doesn't
actually work quite correctly in some cases due to this on Sparc et al.

The next patch from Al will sort out the final differences, and we
should be all done.

c9b012e5f4 Merge tag 'arm64-upstream' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm64/linux 
Pull arm64 updates from Will Deacon:
 "The big highlight is support for the Scalable Vector Extension (SVE)
  which required extensive ABI work to ensure we don't break existing
  applications by blowing away their signal stack with the rather large
  new vector context (<= 2 kbit per vector register). There's further
  work to be done optimising things like exception return, but the ABI
  is solid now.

  Much of the line count comes from some new PMU drivers we have, but
  they're pretty self-contained and I suspect we'll have more of them in
  future.

  Plenty of acronym soup here:

   - initial support for the Scalable Vector Extension (SVE)

   - improved handling for SError interrupts (required to handle RAS
     events)

   - enable GCC support for 128-bit integer types

   - remove kernel text addresses from backtraces and register dumps

   - use of WFE to implement long delay()s

   - ACPI IORT updates from Lorenzo Pieralisi

   - perf PMU driver for the Statistical Profiling Extension (SPE)

   - perf PMU driver for Hisilicon's system PMUs

6aa7de0591 locking/atomics: COCCINELLE/treewide: Convert trivial ACCESS_ONCE() patterns to READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE() 
Please do not apply this to mainline directly, instead please re-run the
coccinelle script shown below and apply its output.

For several reasons, it is desirable to use {READ,WRITE}_ONCE() in
preference to ACCESS_ONCE(), and new code is expected to use one of the
former. So far, there's been no reason to change most existing uses of
ACCESS_ONCE(), as these aren't harmful, and changing them results in
churn.

However, for some features, the read/write distinction is critical to
correct operation. To distinguish these cases, separate read/write
accessors must be used. This patch migrates (most) remaining
ACCESS_ONCE() instances to {READ,WRITE}_ONCE(), using the following
coccinelle script:

----
// Convert trivial ACCESS_ONCE() uses to equivalent READ_ONCE() and
// WRITE_ONCE()

// $ make coccicheck COCCI=/home/mark/once.cocci SPFLAGS="--include-headers" MODE=patch

441430eb54 perf/aux: Only update ->aux_wakeup in non-overwrite mode 
The following commit:

  d9a50b0256 ("perf/aux: Ensure aux_wakeup represents most recent wakeup index")

changed the AUX wakeup position calculation to rounddown(), which causes
a division-by-zero in AUX overwrite mode (aka "snapshot mode").

The zero denominator results from the fact that perf record doesn't set
aux_watermark to anything, in which case the kernel will set it to half
the AUX buffer size, but only for non-overwrite mode. In the overwrite
mode aux_watermark stays zero.

The good news is that, AUX overwrite mode, wakeups don't happen and
related bookkeeping is not relevant, so we can simply forego the whole
wakeup updates.

d9a50b0256 perf/aux: Ensure aux_wakeup represents most recent wakeup index 
The aux_watermark member of struct ring_buffer represents the period (in
terms of bytes) at which wakeup events should be generated when data is
written to the aux buffer in non-snapshot mode. On hardware that cannot
generate an interrupt when the aux_head reaches an arbitrary wakeup index
(such as ARM SPE), the aux_head sampled from handle->head in
perf_aux_output_{skip,end} may in fact be past the wakeup index. This
can lead to wakeup slowly falling behind the head. For example, consider
the case where hardware can only generate an interrupt on a page-boundary
and the aux buffer is initialised as follows:

  // Buffer size is 2 * PAGE_SIZE
  rb->aux_head = rb->aux_wakeup = 0
  rb->aux_watermark = PAGE_SIZE / 2

following the first perf_aux_output_begin call, the handle is
initialised with:

  handle->head = 0
  handle->size = 2 * PAGE_SIZE
  handle->wakeup = PAGE_SIZE / 2

and the hardware will be programmed to generate an interrupt at
PAGE_SIZE.

When the interrupt is raised, the hardware head will be at PAGE_SIZE,
so calling perf_aux_output_end(handle, PAGE_SIZE) puts the ring buffer
into the following state:

  rb->aux_head = PAGE_SIZE
  rb->aux_wakeup = PAGE_SIZE / 2
  rb->aux_watermark = PAGE_SIZE / 2

and then the next call to perf_aux_output_begin will result in:

  handle->head = handle->wakeup = PAGE_SIZE

for which the semantics are unclear and, for a smaller aux_watermark
(e.g. PAGE_SIZE / 4), then the wakeup would in fact be behind head at
this point.

This patch fixes the problem by rounding down the aux_head (as sampled
from the handle) to the nearest aux_watermark boundary when updating
rb->aux_wakeup, therefore taking into account any overruns by the
hardware.

2ab346cfb0 perf/aux: Make aux_{head,wakeup} ring_buffer members long 
The aux_head and aux_wakeup members of struct ring_buffer are defined
using the local_t type, despite the fact that they are only accessed via
the perf_aux_output_*() functions, which cannot race with each other for a
given ring buffer.

This patch changes the type of the members to long, so we can avoid
using the local_*() API where it isn't needed.

8a1898db51 perf/aux: Correct return code of rb_alloc_aux() if !has_aux(ev) 
If the event for which an AUX area is about to be allocated, does
not support setting up an AUX area, rb_alloc_aux() return -ENOTSUPP.

This error condition is being returned unfiltered to the user space,
and, for example, the perf tools fails with:

  failed to mmap with 524 (INTERNAL ERROR: strerror_r(524, 0x3fff497a1c8, 512)=22)

This error can be easily seen with "perf record -m 128,256 -e cpu-clock".

The 524 error code maps to -ENOTSUPP (in rb_alloc_aux()). The -ENOTSUPP
error code shall be only used within the kernel.  So the correct error
code would then be -EOPNOTSUPP.

With this commit, the perf tool then reports:

  failed to mmap with 95 (Operation not supported)

which is more clear.

ae0c2d995d perf/core: Add a flag for partial AUX records 
The Intel PT driver needs to be able to communicate partial AUX transactions,
that is, transactions with gaps in data for reasons other than no room
left in the buffer (i.e. truncated transactions). Therefore, this condition
does not imply a wakeup for the consumer.

To this end, add a new "partial" AUX flag.

f4c0b0aa58 perf/core: Keep AUX flags in the output handle 
In preparation for adding more flags to perf AUX records, introduce a
separate API for setting the flags for a session, rather than appending
more bool arguments to perf_aux_output_end. This allows to set each
flag at the time a corresponding condition is detected, instead of
tracking it in each driver's private state.

b79ccadd6b perf/core: Fix aux_mmap_count vs aux_refcount order 
The order of accesses to ring buffer's aux_mmap_count and aux_refcount
has to be preserved across the users, namely perf_mmap_close() and
perf_aux_output_begin(), otherwise the inversion can result in the latter
holding the last reference to the aux buffer and subsequently free'ing
it in atomic context, triggering a warning.

3f56e687a1 perf/core: Disable the event on a truncated AUX record 
When the PMU driver reports a truncated AUX record, it effectively means
that there is no more usable room in the event's AUX buffer (even though
there may still be some room, so that perf_aux_output_begin() doesn't take
action). At this point the consumer still has to be woken up and the event
has to be disabled, otherwise the event will just keep spinning between
perf_aux_output_begin() and perf_aux_output_end() until its context gets
unscheduled.

Again, for cpu-wide events this means never, so once in this condition,
they will be forever losing data.

Fix this by disabling the event and waking up the consumer in case of a
truncated AUX record.

9ecda41acb perf/core: Add ::write_backward attribute to perf event 
This patch introduces 'write_backward' bit to perf_event_attr, which
controls the direction of a ring buffer. After set, the corresponding
ring buffer is written from end to beginning. This feature is design to
support reading from overwritable ring buffer.

Ring buffer can be created by mapping a perf event fd. Kernel puts event
records into ring buffer, user tooling like perf fetch them from
address returned by mmap(). To prevent racing between kernel and tooling,
they communicate to each other through 'head' and 'tail' pointers.
Kernel maintains 'head' pointer, points it to the next free area (tail
of the last record). Tooling maintains 'tail' pointer, points it to the
tail of last consumed record (record has already been fetched). Kernel
determines the available space in a ring buffer using these two
pointers to avoid overwrite unfetched records.

By mapping without 'PROT_WRITE', an overwritable ring buffer is created.
Different from normal ring buffer, tooling is unable to maintain 'tail'
pointer because writing is forbidden. Therefore, for this type of ring
buffers, kernel overwrite old records unconditionally, works like flight
recorder. This feature would be useful if reading from overwritable ring
buffer were as easy as reading from normal ring buffer. However,
there's an obscure problem.

The following figure demonstrates a full overwritable ring buffer. In
this figure, the 'head' pointer points to the end of last record, and a
long record 'E' is pending. For a normal ring buffer, a 'tail' pointer
would have pointed to position (X), so kernel knows there's no more
space in the ring buffer. However, for an overwritable ring buffer,
kernel ignore the 'tail' pointer.

   (X)                              head
    .                                |
    .                                V
    +------+-------+----------+------+---+
    |A....A|B.....B|C........C|D....D|   |
    +------+-------+----------+------+---+

Record 'A' is overwritten by event 'E':

      head
       |
       V
    +--+---+-------+----------+------+---+
    |.E|..A|B.....B|C........C|D....D|E..|
    +--+---+-------+----------+------+---+

Now tooling decides to read from this ring buffer. However, none of these
two natural positions, 'head' and the start of this ring buffer, are
pointing to the head of a record. Even the full ring buffer can be
accessed by tooling, it is unable to find a position to start decoding.

The first attempt tries to solve this problem AFAIK can be found from
[1]. It makes kernel to maintain 'tail' pointer: updates it when ring
buffer is half full. However, this approach introduces overhead to
fast path. Test result shows a 1% overhead [2]. In addition, this method
utilizes no more tham 50% records.

Another attempt can be found from [3], which allows putting the size of
an event at the end of each record. This approach allows tooling to find
records in a backward manner from 'head' pointer by reading size of a
record from its tail. However, because of alignment requirement, it
needs 8 bytes to record the size of a record, which is a huge waste. Its
performance is also not good, because more data need to be written.
This approach also introduces some extra branch instructions to fast
path.

'write_backward' is a better solution to this problem.

Following figure demonstrates the state of the overwritable ring buffer
when 'write_backward' is set before overwriting:

       head
        |
        V
    +---+------+----------+-------+------+
    |   |D....D|C........C|B.....B|A....A|
    +---+------+----------+-------+------+

and after overwriting:
                                     head
                                      |
                                      V
    +---+------+----------+-------+---+--+
    |..E|D....D|C........C|B.....B|A..|E.|
    +---+------+----------+-------+---+--+

In each situation, 'head' points to the beginning of the newest record.
From this record, tooling can iterate over the full ring buffer and fetch
records one by one.

The only limitation that needs to be considered is back-to-back reading.
Due to the non-deterministic of user programs, it is impossible to ensure
the ring buffer keeps stable during reading. Consider an extreme situation:
tooling is scheduled out after reading record 'D', then a burst of events
come, eat up the whole ring buffer (one or multiple rounds). When the
tooling process comes back, reading after 'D' is incorrect now.

To prevent this problem, we need to find a way to ensure the ring buffer
is stable during reading. ioctl(PERF_EVENT_IOC_PAUSE_OUTPUT) is
suggested because its overhead is lower than
ioctl(PERF_EVENT_IOC_ENABLE).

By carefully verifying 'header' pointer, reader can avoid pausing the
ring-buffer. For example:

    /* A union of all possible events */
    union perf_event event;

    p = head = perf_mmap__read_head();
    while (true) {
        /* copy header of next event */
        fetch(&event.header, p, sizeof(event.header));

        /* read 'head' pointer */
        head = perf_mmap__read_head();

        /* check overwritten: is the header good? */
        if (!verify(sizeof(event.header), p, head))
            break;

        /* copy the whole event */
        fetch(&event, p, event.header.size);

        /* read 'head' pointer again */
        head = perf_mmap__read_head();

        /* is the whole event good? */
        if (!verify(event.header.size, p, head))
            break;
        p += event.header.size;
    }

However, the overhead is high because:

 a) In-place decoding is not safe.
    Copying-verifying-decoding is required.
 b) Fetching 'head' pointer requires additional synchronization.

(From Alexei Starovoitov:

Even when this trick works, pause is needed for more than stability of
reading. When we collect the events into overwrite buffer we're waiting
for some other trigger (like all cpu utilization spike or just one cpu
running and all others are idle) and when it happens the buffer has
valuable info from the past. At this point new events are no longer
interesting and buffer should be paused, events read and unpaused until
next trigger comes.)

This patch utilizes event's default overflow_handler introduced
previously. perf_event_output_backward() is created as the default
overflow handler for backward ring buffers. To avoid extra overhead to
fast path, original perf_event_output() becomes __perf_event_output()
and marked '__always_inline'. In theory, there's no extra overhead
introduced to fast path.

Performance testing:

Calling 3000000 times of 'close(-1)', use gettimeofday() to check
duration.  Use 'perf record -o /dev/null -e raw_syscalls:*' to capture
system calls. In ns.

d1b26c7024 perf/ring_buffer: Prepare writing into the ring-buffer from the end 
Convert perf_output_begin() to __perf_output_begin() and make the later
function able to write records from the end of the ring-buffer.

Following commits will utilize the 'backward' flag.

This is the core patch to support writing to the ring-buffer backwards,
which will be introduced by upcoming patches to support reading from
overwritable ring-buffers.

In theory, this patch should not introduce any extra performance
overhead since we use always_inline, but it does not hurt to double
check that assumption:

When CONFIG_OPTIMIZE_INLINING is disabled, the output object is nearly
identical to original one. See:

   http://lkml.kernel.org/g/56F52E83.70409@huawei.com

When CONFIG_OPTIMIZE_INLINING is enabled, the resuling object file becomes
smaller:

 $ size kernel/events/ring_buffer.o*
   text       data        bss        dec        hex    filename
   4641          4          8       4653       122d kernel/events/ring_buffer.o.old
   4545          4          8       4557       11cd kernel/events/ring_buffer.o.new

Performance testing results:

Calling 3000000 times of 'close(-1)', use gettimeofday() to check
duration.  Use 'perf record -o /dev/null -e raw_syscalls:*' to capture
system calls. In ns.

86e7972f69 perf/ring_buffer: Introduce new ioctl options to pause and resume the ring-buffer 
Add new ioctl() to pause/resume ring-buffer output.

In some situations we want to read from the ring-buffer only when we
ensure nothing can write to the ring-buffer during reading. Without
this patch we have to turn off all events attached to this ring-buffer
to achieve this.

This patch is a prerequisite to enable overwrite support for the
perf ring-buffer support. Following commits will introduce new methods
support reading from overwrite ring buffer. Before reading, caller
must ensure the ring buffer is frozen, or the reading is unreliable.

af5bb4ed12 perf/ring_buffer: Document AUX API usage 
In order to ensure safe AUX buffer management, we rely on the assumption
that pmu::stop() stops its ongoing AUX transaction and not just the hw.

This patch documents this requirement for the perf_aux_output_{begin,end}()
APIs.

95ff4ca26c perf/core: Free AUX pages in unmap path 
Now that we can ensure that when ring buffer's AUX area is on the way
to getting unmapped new transactions won't start, we only need to stop
all events that can potentially be writing aux data to our ring buffer.

Having done that, we can safely free the AUX pages and corresponding
PMU data, as this time it is guaranteed to be the last aux reference
holder.

This partially reverts:

  57ffc5ca67 ("perf: Fix AUX buffer refcounting")

... which was made to defer deallocation that was otherwise possible
from an NMI context. Now it is no longer the case; the last call to
rb_free_aux() that drops the last AUX reference has to happen in
perf_mmap_close() on that AUX area.

dcb10a967c perf/ring_buffer: Refuse to begin AUX transaction after rb->aux_mmap_count drops 
When ring buffer's AUX area is unmapped and rb->aux_mmap_count drops to
zero, new AUX transactions into this buffer can still be started,
even though the buffer in en route to deallocation.

This patch adds a check to perf_aux_output_begin() for rb->aux_mmap_count
being zero, in which case there is no point starting new transactions,
in other words, the ring buffers that pass a certain point in
perf_mmap_close will not have their events sending new data, which
clears path for freeing those buffers' pages right there and then,
provided that no active transactions are holding the AUX reference.

8184059e93 perf/core: Fix Undefined behaviour in rb_alloc() 
Sasha reported:

 [ 3494.030114] UBSAN: Undefined behaviour in kernel/events/ring_buffer.c:685:22
 [ 3494.030647] shift exponent -1 is negative

Andrey spotted that this is because:

  It happens if nr_pages = 0:
     rb->page_order = ilog2(nr_pages);

Fix it by making both assignments conditional on nr_pages; since
otherwise they should both be 0 anyway, and will be because of the
kzalloc() used to allocate the structure.

45c815f06b perf: Synchronously free aux pages in case of allocation failure 
We are currently using asynchronous deallocation in the error path in
AUX mmap code, which is unnecessary and also presents a problem for users
that wish to probe for the biggest possible buffer size they can get:
they'll get -EINVAL on all subsequent attemts to allocate a smaller
buffer before the asynchronous deallocation callback frees up the pages
from the previous unsuccessful attempt.

Currently, gdb does that for allocating AUX buffers for Intel PT traces.
More specifically, overwrite mode of AUX pmus that don't support hardware
sg (some implementations of Intel PT, for instance) is limited to only
one contiguous high order allocation for its buffer and there is no way
of knowing its size without trying.

This patch changes error path freeing to be synchronous as there won't
be any contenders for the AUX pages at that point.
