      perf/x86: Fix spurious NMI with PEBS Load Latency event · fd583ad1
      Kan Liang authored 
      Spurious NMIs will be observed with the following command:

  while :; do
    perf record -bae "cpu/umask=0x01,event=0xcd,ldlat=0x80/pp"
                  -e "cpu/umask=0x03,event=0x0/"
                  -e "cpu/umask=0x02,event=0x0/"
                  -e cycles,branches,cache-misses
                  -e cache-references -- sleep 10
  done

The bug was introduced by commit:

  8077eca0 ("perf/x86/pebs: Add workaround for broken OVFL status on HSW+")

That commit clears the status bits for the counters used for PEBS
events, by masking the whole 64 bits pebs_enabled. However, only the
low 32 bits of both status and pebs_enabled are reserved for PEBS-able
counters.

For status bits 32-34 are fixed counter overflow bits. For
pebs_enabled bits 32-34 are for PEBS Load Latency.

In the test case, the PEBS Load Latency event and fixed counter event
could overflow at the same time. The fixed counter overflow bit will
be cleared by mistake. Once it is cleared, the fixed counter overflow
never be processed, which finally trigger spurious NMI.

Correct the PEBS enabled mask by ignoring the non-PEBS bits.

      perf tools: Pass PYTHON config to feature detection · 7be6b316
      David Carrillo-Cisneros authored 
      ( This is a rebased version of https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/2/7/662 )

Python's CC and link Makefile variables were not passed to feature
detection, causing feature detection to use system's Python rather than
PYTHON_CONFIG's one. This created a mismatch between the detected Python
support and the one actually used by perf when PYTHON_CONFIG is
specified.

Fix it by moving Python's variable initialization to before feature
detection and pass FLAGS_PYTHON_EMBED to Python's feature detection's
build target.

      kprobes/x86: Consolidate insn decoder users for copying code · a8d11cd0
      Masami Hiramatsu authored 
      Consolidate x86 instruction decoder users on the path of
copying original code for kprobes.

Kprobes decodes the same instruction a maximum of 3 times when
preparing the instruction buffer:

 - The first time for getting the length of the instruction,
 - the 2nd for adjusting displacement,
 - and the 3rd for checking whether the instruction is boostable or not.

For each time, the actual decoding target address is slightly
different (1st is original address or recovered instruction buffer,
2nd and 3rd are pointing to the copied buffer), but all have
the same instruction.

Thus, this patch also changes the target address to the copied
buffer at first and reuses the decoded "insn" for displacement
adjusting and checking boostability.
