This is significant for non-sampling runs where it is possible for the new value to overtake the previous one, causing the delta to be out by up to max_period events. Commit a737823d ("ARM: 6835/1: perf: ensure overflows aren't missed due to IRQ latency") attempted to fix this problem by allowing interrupt handlers to pass an overflow flag to the event update function, causing the overflow calculation to assume that the counter passed through zero when going from prev to new. Unfortunately, this doesn't work when overflow occurs on the perf_task_tick path because we have the flag cleared and end up computing a large negative delta. This patch removes the overflow flag from armpmu_event_update and instead limits the sample_period to half of the max_period for non-sampling profiling runs.

It likely went uncaught when the uncompress.h change went in since the defconfig didn't enable that code path, but later changes (e76f4750f4: ARM: debug: arrange Kconfig options more logically) resulted in the option being on for msm_defconfig and thus exposed it.

This is because v7_setup (which is called very early during boot) calls v7_flush_dcache_all, and the save_and_disable_irqs added by that patch ends up attempting to call into lockdep C code (trace_hardirqs_off()) when we are in no position to execute it (no stack, MMU off). Fix this by using a notrace variant of save_and_disable_irqs. The code already uses the notrace variant of restore_irqs.

However, the __pte_free_tlb() function only adds a single TLB flush corresponding to 1MB range covering 'addr'. On Cortex-A15, level 1 entries can be cached by the TLB independently of the level 2 entries and without additional flushing a PMD entry would be left pointing at the wrong PTE. The patch limits the TLB flushing range to two 4KB pages around the 1MB boundary within PMD.

This can happen when kexecing a UP image from an SMP kernel. In the future, multi-cluster systems running AMP configurations will require something similar for mapping cluster IDs, so it makes sense to decouple this logic in preparation for this support.

The implementation was based off the structure of the MIPS platform and information in this (http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/arm/2009-October/000382.html) mailing list thread. The required audit_syscall_exit and audit_syscall_entry checks were added to ptrace using the standard registers for system call values (r0 through r3). A thread information flag was added for auditing (TIF_SYSCALL_AUDIT) and a meta-flag was added (_TIF_SYSCALL_WORK) to simplify modifications to the syscall entry/exit. Now, if either the TRACE flag is set or the AUDIT flag is set, the syscall_trace function will be executed. The prober changes were made to Kconfig to allow CONFIG_AUDITSYSCALL to be enabled. Due to platform availability limitations, this patch was only tested on the Android platform running the modified "android-goldfish-2.6.29" kernel. A test compile was performed using Code Sourcery's cross-compilation toolset and the current linux-3.0 stable kernel. The changes compile without error. I'm hoping, due to the simple modifications, the patch is "obviously correct". Signed-off-by: Nathaniel Husted <nhusted@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>
