This change removes the use of hardcoded absolute "/usr/include/elfutils" paths from the perf build. The problem with hardcoded paths is that it prevents them from being overridden by $prefix or by -I in CFLAGS (e.g., for cross-compiling purposes). Instead, just include the "elfutils/" subdirectory as a relative path when files are needed from that directory. Tested by building perf: - Cross-compiled for ARM on x86_64 - Built natively on x86_64 - Built on x86_64 with /usr/include/elfutils moved to another location and manually included in CFLAGS Acked-by: Masami Hiramatsu <masami.hiramatsu.pt@hitachi.com> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Cc: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Cc: Masami Hiramatsu <masami.hiramatsu.pt@hitachi.com> LKML-Reference: <1289945793-31441-1-git-send-email-rmorell@nvidia.com> Signed-off-by: Robert Morell <rmorell@nvidia.com> Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>

This patch adds a new -A option to perf stat. If specified then perf stat does not aggregate counts across all monitored CPUs in system-wide mode, i.e., when using -a. This option is not supported in per-thread mode. Being able to get a per-cpu breakdown is useful to detect imbalances between CPUs when running a uniform workload than spans all monitored CPUs. The second version corrects the missing cpumap[] support, so that it works when the -C option is used. The third version fixes a missing cpumap[] in print_counter() and removes a stray patch in builtin-trace.c. Examples on a 4-way system: # perf stat -a -e cycles,instructions -- sleep 1 Performance counter stats for 'sleep 1': 9592808135 cycles 3490380006 instructions # 0.364 IPC 1.001584632 seconds time elapsed # perf stat -a -A -e cycles,instructions -- sleep 1 Performance counter stats for 'sleep 1': CPU0 2398163767 cycles CPU1 2398180817 cycles CPU2 2398217115 cycles CPU3 2398247483 cycles CPU0 872282046 instructions # 0.364 IPC CPU1 873481776 instructions # 0.364 IPC CPU2 872638127 instructions # 0.364 IPC CPU3 872437789 instructions # 0.364 IPC 1.001556052 seconds time elapsed Cc: David S.

This introduces the new TRACE_EVENT_FLAGS() macro in order to set up initial event flags value. This macro must simply follow the definition of a trace event and take the event name and the flag value as parameters: TRACE_EVENT(my_event, ..... .... ); TRACE_EVENT_FLAGS(my_event, 1) This will set up 1 as the initial my_event->flags value.

The various stack tracing routines take a 'bp' argument in which the caller is supposed to provide the base pointer to use, or 0 if doesn't have one. Since bp is garbage whenever CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER is not defined, this means all callers in principle should either always pass 0, or be conditional on CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER. However, there are only really three use cases for stack tracing: (a) Trace the current task, including IRQ stack if any (b) Trace the current task, but skip IRQ stack (c) Trace some other task In all cases, if CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER is not defined, bp should just be 0. If it _is_ defined, then - in case (a) bp should be gotten directly from the CPU's register, so the caller should pass NULL for regs, - in case (b) the caller should should pass the IRQ registers to dump_trace(), - in case (c) bp should be gotten from the top of the task's stack, so the caller should pass NULL for regs. Hence, the bp argument is not necessary because the combination of task and regs is sufficient to determine an appropriate value for bp. This patch introduces a new inline function stack_frame(task, regs) that computes the desired bp. This function is then called from the two versions of dump_stack().

Now that the bulk of the old nmi_watchdog is gone, remove all the stub variables and hooks associated with it. This touches lots of files mainly because of how the io_apic nmi_watchdog was implemented. Now that the io_apic nmi_watchdog is forever gone, remove all its fingers. Most of this code was not being exercised by virtue of nmi_watchdog != NMI_IO_APIC, so there shouldn't be anything to risky here.

Now that we have a new nmi_watchdog that is more generic and sits on top of the perf subsystem, we really do not need the old nmi_watchdog any more. In addition, the old nmi_watchdog doesn't really work if you are using the default clocksource, hpet. The old nmi_watchdog code relied on local apic interrupts to determine if the cpu is still alive. With hpet as the clocksource, these interrupts don't increment any more and the old nmi_watchdog triggers false postives. This piece removes the old nmi_watchdog code and stubs out any variables and functions calls. The stubs are the same ones used by the new nmi_watchdog code, so it should be well tested.

The addition of CONFIG_SECURITY_DMESG_RESTRICT resulted in a build failure when CONFIG_PRINTK=n. This is because the capabilities code which used the new option was built even though the variable in question didn't exist. The patch here fixes this by moving the capabilities checks out of the LSM and into the caller. All (known) LSMs should have been calling the capabilities hook already so it actually makes the code organization better to eliminate the hook altogether.

Delete unused I2C adapter IDs. Special cases are: * I2C_HW_B_RIVA was still set in driver rivafb, however no other driver is ever looking for this value, so we can safely remove it. * I2C_HW_B_HDPVR is used in staging driver lirc_zilog, however no adapter ID is ever set to this value, so the code in question never runs. As the code additionally expects that I2C_HW_B_HDPVR may not be defined, we can delete it now and let the lirc_zilog driver maintainer rewrite this piece of code.

The fix in commit 6b4e81db ("i8k: Tell gcc that *regs gets clobbered") to work around the gcc miscompiling i8k.c to add "+m (*regs)" caused register pressure problems and a build failure. Changing the 'asm' statement to 'asm volatile' instead should prevent that and works around the gcc bug as well, so we can remove the "+m". [ Background on the gcc bug: a memory clobber fails to mark the function the asm resides in as non-pure (aka "__attribute__((const))"), so if the function does nothing else that triggers the non-pure logic, gcc will think that that function has no side effects at all. As a result, callers will be mis-compiled. Adding the "+m" made gcc see that it's not a pure function, and so does "asm volatile". The problem was never really the need to mark "*regs" as changed, since the memory clobber did that part - the problem was just a bug in the gcc "pure" function analysis - Linus ] Signed-off-by: Jim Bos <jim876@xs4all.nl> Acked-by: Jakub Jelinek <jakub@redhat.com> Cc: Andi Kleen <andi@firstfloor.org> Cc: Andreas Schwab <schwab@linux-m68k.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

We can't read the intrusion state from the real-time alarm registers as we do for all other alarm flags, because real-time alarm bits don't stick (by definition) and the intrusion state has to stick until explicitly cleared (otherwise it has little value.) So we have to use the interrupt status register instead, which is read from the same address but with a configuration bit flipped in another register.

This area of the code has always been a bit delicate due to the subtleties of lock ordering. The problem is that for "normal" alloc/dealloc, we always grab the inode locks first and the rgrp lock later. In order to ensure no races in looking up the unlinked, but still allocated inodes, we need to hold the rgrp lock when we do the lookup, which means that we can't take the inode glock. The solution is to borrow the technique already used by NFS to solve what is essentially the same problem (given an inode number, look up the inode carefully, checking that it really is in the expected state). We cannot do that directly from the allocation code (lock ordering again) so we give the job to the pre-existing delete workqueue and carry on with the allocation as normal. If we find there is no space, we do a journal flush (required anyway if space from a deallocation is to be released) which should block against the pending deallocations, so we should always get the space back.
