oprofile, perf: Use per-cpu framework

2012-06-22T14:31:20Z

This changes oprofile_perf.c to use the per-cpu framework. Using the per-cpu framework should avoid error like the following: arch/arm/oprofile/../../../drivers/oprofile/oprofile_perf.c:28:28: error: variably modified 'perf_events' at file scope Reported-by: William Cohen Cc: Will Deacon Signed-off-by: Robert Richter

oprofile: perf: use NR_CPUS instead or nr_cpumask_bits for static array

2012-06-21T14:15:11Z

The OProfile perf backend uses a static array to keep track of the perf events on the system. When compiling with CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK=y && SMP, nr_cpumask_bits is not a compile-time constant and the build will fail with: oprofile_perf.c:28: error: variably modified 'perf_events' at file scope This patch uses NR_CPUs instead of nr_cpumask_bits for the array initialisation. If this causes space problems in the future, we can always move to dynamic allocation for the events array.

simple_open: automatically convert to simple_open()

2012-04-05T22:25:50Z

Many users of debugfs copy the implementation of default_open() when they want to support a custom read/write function op. This leads to a proliferation of the default_open() implementation across the entire tree. Now that the common implementation has been consolidated into libfs we can replace all the users of this function with simple_open(). This replacement was done with the following semantic patch: @ open @ identifier open_f != simple_open; identifier i, f; @@ -int open_f(struct inode *i, struct file *f) -{ ( -if (i->i_private) -f->private_data = i->i_private; | -f->private_data = i->i_private; ) -return 0; -} @ has_open depends on open @ identifier fops; identifier open.open_f; @@ struct file_operations fops = { ... -.open = open_f, +.open = simple_open, ... }; [akpm@linux-foundation.org: checkpatch fixes] Signed-off-by: Stephen Boyd Cc: Greg Kroah-Hartman Cc: Al Viro Cc: Julia Lawall Acked-by: Ingo Molnar Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

oprofile: Fix uninitialized memory access when writing to writing to oprofilefs

2011-12-19T16:18:43Z

If oprofilefs_ulong_from_user() is called with count equals zero, *val remains unchanged. Depending on the implementation it might be uninitialized. Change oprofilefs_ulong_from_user()'s interface to return count on success. Thus, we are able to return early if count equals zero which avoids using *val uninitialized. Fixing all users of oprofilefs_ulong_ from_user(). This follows write syscall implementation when count is zero: "If count is zero ... [and if] no errors are detected, 0 will be returned without causing any other effect."
