      perf session: Pass evsel in event_ops->sample() · 9e69c210
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored 
      Resolving the sample->id to an evsel since the most advanced tools,
report and annotate, and the others will too when they evolve to
properly support multi-event perf.data files.

Good also because it does an extra validation, checking that the ID is
valid when present. When that is not the case, the overhead is just a
branch + function call (perf_evlist__id2evsel).

      perf: Better fit max unprivileged mlock pages for tools needs · 880f5731
      Frederic Weisbecker authored 
      The maximum kilobytes of locked memory that an unprivileged user
can reserve is of 512 kB = 128 pages by default, scaled to the
number of onlined CPUs, which fits well with the tools that use
128 data pages by default.

However tools actually use 129 pages, because they need one more
for the user control page. Thus the default mlock threshold is
not sufficient for the default tools needs and we always end up
to evaluate the constant mlock rlimit policy, which doesn't have
this scaling with the number of online CPUs.

Hence, on systems that have more than 16 CPUs, we overlap the
rlimit threshold and fail to mmap:

	$ perf record ls
	Error: failed to mmap with 1 (Operation not permitted)

Just increase the max unprivileged mlock threshold by one page
so that it supports well perf tools even after 16 CPUs.

      perf_events: Fix stale ->cgrp pointer in update_cgrp_time_from_cpuctx() · 68cacd29
      Stephane Eranian authored 
      This patch solves a stale pointer problem in
update_cgrp_time_from_cpuctx(). The cpuctx->cgrp
was not cleared on all possible event exit paths,
including:

   close()
     perf_release()
       perf_release_kernel()
         list_del_event()

This patch fixes list_del_event() to clear cpuctx->cgrp
when there are no cgroup events left in the context.

[ This second version makes the code compile when
  CONFIG_CGROUP_PERF is not enabled. We unconditionally define
  perf_cpu_context->cgrp. ]

      perf top: Fix uninitialized 'counter' variable · ce2d17ca
      Akihiro Nagai authored 
      builtin-top.c has an uninitialized variable.
gcc(version 4.5.1) warns about it and it results in build failure:

 builtin-top.c: In function 'display_thread':
 builtin-top.c:518:9: error: 'counter' may be used uninitialized

This situation can indeed trigger, if the getline() call in
prompt_integer() fails.

      tracing: Fix set_ftrace_filter probe function display · 1106b699
      Jiri Olsa authored 
      If one or more function probes (like traceon) are enabled,
and there's no other function filter, the first probe
func is skipped (which one depends on the position in the hash).

$ echo sys_open:traceon sys_close:traceon > ./set_ftrace_filter
$ cat set_ftrace_filter
#### all functions enabled ####
sys_close:traceon:unlimited
$

The reason was, that in the case of no other function filter,
the func_pos was not properly updated before calling t_hash_start.

      perf, x86: Fix Intel fixed counters base initialization · fc66c521
      Stephane Eranian authored 
      The following patch solves the problems introduced by Robert's
commit 41bf4989 and reported by Arun Sharma. This commit gets rid
of the base + index notation for reading and writing PMU msrs.

The problem is that for fixed counters, the new calculation for
the base did not take into account the fixed counter indexes,
thus all fixed counters were read/written from fixed counter 0.
Although all fixed counters share the same config MSR, they each
have their own counter register.

Without:

 $ task -e unhalted_core_cycles -e instructions_retired -e baclears noploop 1 noploop for 1 seconds
