perf_event: Switch to internal refcount, fix race with close()

2012-10-02T16:47:24Z

commit a6fa941d94b411bbd2b6421ffbde6db3c93e65ab upstream. Don't mess with file refcounts (or keep a reference to file, for that matter) in perf_event. Use explicit refcount of its own instead. Deal with the race between the final reference to event going away and new children getting created for it by use of atomic_long_inc_not_zero() in inherit_event(); just have the latter free what it had allocated and return NULL, that works out just fine (children of siblings of something doomed are created as singletons, same as if the child of leader had been created and immediately killed).

perf: Fix software event overflow

2011-08-05T04:58:35Z

The below patch is for -stable only, upstream has a much larger patch that contains the below hunk in commit a8b0ca17b80e92faab46ee7179ba9e99ccb61233 Vince found that under certain circumstances software event overflows go wrong and deadlock. Avoid trying to delete a timer from the timer callback. Reported-by: Vince Weaver Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

perf, cgroups: Fix up for new API

2011-05-31T12:20:25Z

Ben changed the cgroup API in commit f780bdb7c1c (cgroups: add per-thread subsystem callbacks) in an incompatible way, but forgot to convert the perf cgroup bits. Avoid compile warnings and runtime splats and convert perf too ;-) Acked-by: Ben Blum Cc: Stephane Eranian Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1306767651.1200.2990.camel@twins Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar

perf: Fix SIGIO handling

2011-05-28T15:04:59Z

Vince noticed that unless we mmap() a buffer, SIGIO gets lost. So explicitly push the wakeup (including signals) when requested. Reported-by: Vince Weaver Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra Cc: Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/n/tip-2euus3f3x3dyvdk52cjxw8zu@git.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar

perf: Start the restructuring

2011-05-03T10:59:43Z

mv kernel/perf_event.c -> kernel/events/core.c. From there, all further sensible splitting can happen. The idea is that due to perf_event.c becoming pretty sizable and with the advent of the marriage with ftrace, splitting functionality into its logical parts should help speeding up the unification and to manage the complexity of the subsystem.
