hw_breakpoint: Use cpu_possible_mask in {reserve,release}_bp_slot()

2013-07-27T04:34:13Z

commit c790b0ad23f427c7522ffed264706238c57c007e upstream. 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().

perf: Add context field to perf_event

2011-07-01T09:06:38Z

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.

hw breakpoints: Move to kernel/events/

As part of the events sybsystem unification, relocate hw_breakpoint.c into its new destination. Cc: Frederic Weisbecker Signed-off-by: Borislav Petkov
