This patch attempts to make the perf trace command-line for live-mode commands more user-friendly and consistent with other perf commands. The main change it makes is to allow <commands> to be run as part of perf trace live-mode commands, as other perf commands do, instead of the system-wide traces they're currently hard-coded to by the shell scripts. With this patch, the following live-mode trace now works as expected: $ perf trace rw-by-pid ls -al The previous system-wide behavior for this command would still be available by explicitly specifying -a: $ perf trace rw-by-pid -a ls -al and if no <command> is specified, the output is also system-wide: $ perf trace rw-by-pid Because live-mode requires both record and report steps to be invoked, it isn't always possible to know which args to send to the report and which to send to the record steps - mainly this is the case for report scripts with optional args - in those cases it would be necessary to use separate 'perf trace record' and 'perf trace report' steps. For example: $ perf trace syscall-counts ls Here we can't decide whether ls should be passed as a param to the syscall-counts script or whether we should invoke ls as a <command>. In these cases, we just say that we'll ignore optional script params and always interpret the extra arguments as a <command>. If the user instead wants the other interpretation, that can be accomplished by using separate record and report commands explicitly: $ perf trace record syscall-counts $ perf trace report syscall-counts ls So the rules that this patch implements, which seem to make the most intuitive sense for live-mode commands: - for commands with optional args and commands with no args, no args are sent to the report script, all are sent to the record step - for 'top' commands i.e. that end with 'top', <commands> can't be used - all extra args are send to the report script as params - for commands with required args, the n required args are taken to be the first n args after the script name and sent to the report script, and the rest are sent to the record step Signed-off-by: Tom Zanussi <tom.zanussi@linux.intel.com> Acked-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@ghostprotocols.net>

Because the perf-trace shell scripts hard-coded the use of the perf-record system-wide param, a perf trace record session was always system wide, even if it was given a command. If given a command, perf trace record now only records the events for the command, as users expect. If no command is given, or if the '-a' option is used, the recorded events are system-wide, as before. root@tropicana:~# perf trace record syscall-counts ls -al root@tropicana:~# perf trace ls-23152 [000] 39984.890387: sys_enter: NR 12 (0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0) ls-23152 [000] 39984.890404: sys_enter: NR 9 (0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0) root@tropicana:~# perf trace record syscall-counts -a ls -al root@tropicana:~# perf trace npviewer.bin-22297 [000] 39831.102709: sys_enter: NR 168 (0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0) ls-23111 [000] 39831.107679: sys_enter: NR 59 (0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0) Signed-off-by: Tom Zanussi <tom.zanussi@linux.intel.com> Acked-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@ghostprotocols.net>

Other perf commands that invoke perf record, such as perf trace, may want to reuse the options used by perf record. This makes them non-static and renames them to avoid clashes with other 'options' variables.

profile_cpu was left over from an earlier implementation that supported running perf top on a single CPU. profile_cpu was no longer set by any switch and usages of it resulted in dead code. Instead, convert the code to use cpu_list, which is set by the -C <cpu_list> option. Also improved the printing of nr_cpus and cpu_list by correcting the plurals.

As pointed out by Linus, commit dab5855b ("perf_counter: Add mmap event hooks to mprotect()") is fundamentally wrong as mprotect_fixup() can free 'vma' due to merging. Fix the problem by moving perf_event_mmap() hook to mprotect_fixup(). Note: there's another successful return path from mprotect_fixup() if old flags equal to new flags. We don't, however, need to call perf_event_mmap() there because 'perf' already knows the VMA is executable.

Commit 13cfb733 made cifs_ioctl use the tlink attached to the cifsFileInfo for a filp. This ignores the case of an open directory however, which in CIFS can have a NULL private_data until a readdir is done on it. This patch re-adds the NULL pointer checks that were removed in commit 50ae28f0 and moves the setting of tcon and "caps" variables lower. Long term, a better fix would be to establish a f_op->open routine for directories that populates that field at open time, but that requires some other changes to how readdir calls are handled.

Commit 5c521830 (ext4: Support discard requests when running in no-journal mode) attempts to add sb_issue_discard() for data blocks (in data=writeback mode) and in no-journal mode. Unfortunately, this no longer works, because in commit dd3932ed (block: remove BLKDEV_IFL_WAIT), sb_issue_discard() only presents a synchronous interface, and there are times when we call ext4_free_blocks() when we are are holding a spinlock, or are otherwise in an atomic context. For now, I've removed the call to sb_issue_discard() to prevent a deadlock or (if spinlock debugging is enabled) failures like this: BUG: scheduling while atomic: rc.sysinit/1376/0x00000002 Pid: 1376, comm: rc.sysinit Not tainted 2.6.36-ARCH #1 Call Trace: [<ffffffff810397ce>] __schedule_bug+0x5e/0x70 [<ffffffff81403110>] schedule+0x950/0xa70 [<ffffffff81060bad>] ? insert_work+0x7d/0x90 [<ffffffff81060fbd>] ? queue_work_on+0x1d/0x30 [<ffffffff81061127>] ? queue_work+0x37/0x60 [<ffffffff8140377d>] schedule_timeout+0x21d/0x360 [<ffffffff812031c3>] ? generic_make_request+0x2c3/0x540 [<ffffffff81402680>] wait_for_common+0xc0/0x150 [<ffffffff81041490>] ? default_wake_function+0x0/0x10 [<ffffffff812034bc>] ? submit_bio+0x7c/0x100 [<ffffffff810680a0>] ? wake_bit_function+0x0/0x40 [<ffffffff814027b8>] wait_for_completion+0x18/0x20 [<ffffffff8120a969>] blkdev_issue_discard+0x1b9/0x210 [<ffffffff811ba03e>] ext4_free_blocks+0x68e/0xb60 [<ffffffff811b1650>] ? __ext4_handle_dirty_metadata+0x110/0x120 [<ffffffff811b098c>] ext4_ext_truncate+0x8cc/0xa70 [<ffffffff810d713e>] ? pagevec_lookup+0x1e/0x30 [<ffffffff81191618>] ext4_truncate+0x178/0x5d0 [<ffffffff810eacbb>] ? unmap_mapping_range+0xab/0x280 [<ffffffff810d8976>] vmtruncate+0x56/0x70 [<ffffffff811925cb>] ext4_setattr+0x14b/0x460 [<ffffffff811319e4>] notify_change+0x194/0x380 [<ffffffff81117f80>] do_truncate+0x60/0x90 [<ffffffff811e08fa>] ? security_inode_permission+0x1a/0x20 [<ffffffff811eaec1>] ? tomoyo_path_truncate+0x11/0x20 [<ffffffff81127539>] do_last+0x5d9/0x770 [<ffffffff811278bd>] do_filp_open+0x1ed/0x680 [<ffffffff8140644f>] ? page_fault+0x1f/0x30 [<ffffffff81132bfc>] ? alloc_fd+0xec/0x140 [<ffffffff81118db1>] do_sys_open+0x61/0x120 [<ffffffff81118e8b>] sys_open+0x1b/0x20 [<ffffffff81002e6b>] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=22302Reported-by: Mathias Burén <mathias.buren@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu> Cc: jiayingz@google.com

The following BUG can occur when an inode which is getting freed when it still has dirty pages outstanding, and it gets deleted (in this because it was the target of a rename). In ordered mode, we need to make sure the data pages are written just in case we crash before the rename (or unlink) is committed. If the inode is being freed then when we try to igrab the inode, we end up tripping the BUG_ON at fs/ext4/page-io.c:146. To solve this problem, we need to keep track of the number of io callbacks which are pending, and avoid destroying the inode until they have all been completed. That way we don't have to bump the inode count to keep the inode from being destroyed; an approach which doesn't work because the count could have already been dropped down to zero before the inode writeback has started (at which point we're not allowed to bump the count back up to 1, since it's already started getting freed). Thanks to Dave Chinner for suggesting this approach, which is also used by XFS. kernel BUG at /scratch_space/linux-2.6/fs/ext4/page-io.c:146!

Commit 27ae60f8 ("ipw2x00: replace "ieee80211" with "libipw" where appropriate") changed DRV_NAME to be "libipw", but didn't properly fix up the places where it was used to specify the name for the /proc/net/ directory. For backwards compatibility reasons, that directory name remained "ieee80211", but due to the DRV_NAME change, the error case printouts and the cleanup functions now used "libipw" instead. Which made it all fail badly. For example, on module unload as reported by Randy: WARNING: at fs/proc/generic.c:816 remove_proc_entry+0x156/0x35e() name 'libipw' because it's trying to unregister a /proc directory that obviously doesn't even exist.
