perf: Fix PERF_EVENT_IOC_PERIOD migration race

2015-08-12T09:37:22Z

I ran the perf fuzzer, which triggered some WARN()s which are due to trying to stop/restart an event on the wrong CPU. Use the normal IPI pattern to ensure we run the code on the correct CPU.

perf: Fix double-free of the AUX buffer

2015-08-12T09:37:21Z

If rb->aux_refcount is decremented to zero before rb->refcount, __rb_free_aux() may be called twice resulting in a double free of rb->aux_pages. Fix this by adding a check to __rb_free_aux().

perf: Fix fasync handling on inherited events

2015-08-04T07:57:52Z

Vince reported that the fasync signal stuff doesn't work proper for inherited events. So fix that. Installing fasync allocates memory and sets filp->f_flags |= FASYNC, which upon the demise of the file descriptor ensures the allocation is freed and state is updated. Now for perf, we can have the events stick around for a while after the original FD is dead because of references from child events. So we cannot copy the fasync pointer around. We can however consistently use the parent's fasync, as that will be updated.

perf: Fix running time accounting

2015-07-27T11:52:19Z

A recent fix to the shadow timestamp inadvertly broke the running time accounting. We must not update the running timestamp if we fail to schedule the event, the event will not have ran. This can (and did) result in negative total runtime because the stopped timestamp was before the running timestamp (we 'started' but never stopped the event -- because it never really started we didn't have to stop it either).

perf: Fix AUX buffer refcounting

2015-07-06T12:08:30Z

Its currently possible to drop the last refcount to the aux buffer from NMI context, which results in the expected fireworks. The refcounting needs a bigger overhaul, but to cure the immediate problem, delay the freeing by using an irq_work.

2015-06-26T21:02:43Z

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt: "This patch series contains several clean ups and even a new trace clock "monitonic raw". Also some enhancements to make the ring buffer even faster. But the biggest and most noticeable change is the renaming of the ftrace* files, structures and variables that have to deal with trace events. Over the years I've had several developers tell me about their confusion with what ftrace is compared to events. Technically, "ftrace" is the infrastructure to do the function hooks, which include tracing and also helps with live kernel patching. But the trace events are a separate entity altogether, and the files that affect the trace events should not be named "ftrace". These include: include/trace/ftrace.h -> include/trace/trace_events.h include/linux/ftrace_event.h -> include/linux/trace_events.h Also, functions that are specific for trace events have also been renamed: ftrace_print_*() -> trace_print_*() (un)register_ftrace_event() -> (un)register_trace_event() ftrace_event_name() -> trace_event_name() ftrace_trigger_soft_disabled() -> trace_trigger_soft_disabled() ftrace_define_fields_##call() -> trace_define_fields_##call() ftrace_get_offsets_##call() -> trace_get_offsets_##call() Structures have been renamed: ftrace_event_file -> trace_event_file ftrace_event_{call,class} -> trace_event_{call,class} ftrace_event_buffer -> trace_event_buffer ftrace_subsystem_dir -> trace_subsystem_dir ftrace_event_raw_##call -> trace_event_raw_##call ftrace_event_data_offset_##call-> trace_event_data_offset_##call ftrace_event_type_funcs_##call -> trace_event_type_funcs_##call And a few various variables and flags have also been updated. This has been sitting in linux-next for some time, and I have not heard a single complaint about this rename breaking anything. Mostly because these functions, variables and structures are mostly internal to the tracing system and are seldom (if ever) used by anything external to that" * tag 'trace-v4.2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace: (33 commits) ring_buffer: Allow to exit the ring buffer benchmark immediately ring-buffer-benchmark: Fix the wrong type ring-buffer-benchmark: Fix the wrong param in module_param ring-buffer: Add enum names for the context levels ring-buffer: Remove useless unused tracing_off_permanent() ring-buffer: Give NMIs a chance to lock the reader_lock ring-buffer: Add trace_recursive checks to ring_buffer_write() ring-buffer: Allways do the trace_recursive checks ring-buffer: Move recursive check to per_cpu descriptor ring-buffer: Add unlikelys to make fast path the default tracing: Rename ftrace_get_offsets_##call() to trace_event_get_offsets_##call() tracing: Rename ftrace_define_fields_##call() to trace_event_define_fields_##call() tracing: Rename ftrace_event_type_funcs_##call to trace_event_type_funcs_##call tracing: Rename ftrace_data_offset_##call to trace_event_data_offset_##call tracing: Rename ftrace_raw_##call event structures to trace_event_raw_##call tracing: Rename ftrace_trigger_soft_disabled() to trace_trigger_soft_disabled() tracing: Rename FTRACE_EVENT_FL_* flags to EVENT_FILE_FL_* tracing: Rename struct ftrace_subsystem_dir to trace_subsystem_dir tracing: Rename ftrace_event_name() to trace_event_name() tracing: Rename FTRACE_MAX_EVENT to TRACE_EVENT_TYPE_MAX ...
