If kzalloc() for TYPE_DATA failed on a given cpu, previous chunk
of TYPE_INST will be leaked. Fix it.
Thanks to Peter Zijlstra for suggesting this better solution. It
should work as long as the initial value of the region is all
0's and that's the case of static (per-cpu) memory allocation.

The following patch fixes a bug introduced by the following
commit:
e050e3f0a71b ("perf: Fix broken interrupt rate throttling")
The patch caused the following warning to pop up depending on
the sampling frequency adjustments:
------------[ cut here ]------------
WARNING: at arch/x86/kernel/cpu/perf_event.c:995 x86_pmu_start+0x79/0xd4()
It was caused by the following call sequence:
perf_adjust_freq_unthr_context.part() {
stop()
if (delta > 0) {
perf_adjust_period() {
if (period > 8*...) {
stop()
...
start()
}
}
}
start()
}
Which caused a double start and a double stop, thus triggering
the assert in x86_pmu_start().
The patch fixes the problem by avoiding the double calls. We
pass a new argument to perf_adjust_period() to indicate whether
or not the event is already stopped. We can't just remove the
start/stop from that function because it's called from
__perf_event_overflow where the event needs to be reloaded via a
stop/start back-toback call.
The patch reintroduces the assertion in x86_pmu_start() which
was removed by commit:
84f2b9b ("perf: Remove deprecated WARN_ON_ONCE()")
In this second version, we've added calls to disable/enable PMU
during unthrottling or frequency adjustment based on bug report
of spurious NMI interrupts from Eric Dumazet.

This patch fixes the sampling interrupt throttling mechanism.
It was broken in v3.2. Events were not being unthrottled. The
unthrottling mechanism required that events be checked at each
timer tick.
This patch solves this problem and also separates:
- unthrottling
- multiplexing
- frequency-mode period adjustments
Not all of them need to be executed at each timer tick.
This third version of the patch is based on my original patch +
PeterZ proposal (https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/1/7/87).
At each timer tick, for each context:
- if the current CPU has throttled events, we unthrottle events
- if context has frequency-based events, we adjust sampling periods
- if we have reached the jiffies interval, we multiplex (rotate)
We decoupled rotation (multiplexing) from frequency-mode sampling
period adjustments. They should not necessarily happen at the same
rate. Multiplexing is subject to jiffies_interval (currently at 1
but could be higher once the tunable is exposed via sysfs).
We have grouped frequency-mode adjustment and unthrottling into the
same routine to minimize code duplication. When throttled while in
frequency mode, we scan the events only once.
We have fixed the threshold enforcement code in __perf_event_overflow().
There was a bug whereby it would allow more than the authorized rate
because an increment of hwc->interrupts was not executed at the right
place.
The patch was tested with low sampling limit (2000) and fixed periods,
frequency mode, overcommitted PMU.
On a 2.1GHz AMD CPU:
$ cat /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_sample_rate
2000
We set a rate of 3000 samples/sec (2.1GHz/3000 = 700000):
$ perf record -e cycles,cycles -c 700000 noploop 10
$ perf report -D | tail -21
Aggregated stats:
TOTAL events: 80086
MMAP events: 88
COMM events: 2
EXIT events: 4
THROTTLE events: 19996
UNTHROTTLE events: 19996
SAMPLE events: 40000
cycles stats:
TOTAL events: 40006
MMAP events: 5
COMM events: 1

SAMPLE events: 20000
cycles stats:
TOTAL events: 39996
THROTTLE events: 9998
UNTHROTTLE events: 9998
SAMPLE events: 20000
For 10s, the cap is 2x2000x10 = 40000 samples.
We get exactly that: 20000 samples/event.

Now that subsys->can_attach() and attach() take @tset instead of
@task, they can handle per-task operations. Convert
->can_attach_task() and ->attach_task() users to use ->can_attach()
and attach() instead. Most converions are straight-forward.
Noteworthy changes are,
* In cgroup_freezer, remove unnecessary NULL assignments to unused
methods. It's useless and very prone to get out of sync, which
already happened.
* In cpuset, PF_THREAD_BOUND test is checked for each task. This
doesn't make any practical difference but is conceptually cleaner.

jump_lable patching is very expensive operation that involves pausing all
cpus. The patching of perf_sched_events jump_label is easily controllable
from userspace by unprivileged user.
When te user runs a loop like this:
"while true; do perf stat -e cycles true; done"
... the performance of my test application that just increments a counter
for one second drops by 4%.
This is on a 16 cpu box with my test application using only one of
them. An impact on a real server doing real work will be worse.
Performance of KVM PMU drops nearly 50% due to jump_lable for "perf
record" since KVM PMU implementation creates and destroys perf event
frequently.
This patch introduces a way to rate limit jump_label patching and uses
it to fix the above problem.
I believe that as jump_label use will spread the problem will become more
common and thus solving it in a generic code is appropriate. Also fixing
it in the perf code would result in moving jump_label accounting logic to
perf code with all the ifdefs in case of JUMP_LABEL=n kernel. With this
patch all details are nicely hidden inside jump_label code.

Cure this by keeping a perf_event_context::nr_freq counter that counts the
number of active events that require frequency adjustments and use this in a
similar fashion to the already existing nr_events != nr_active test in
perf_rotate_context().
By being able to exclude both rotation and frequency adjustments a-priory for
the common case we can avoid the otherwise superfluous PMU disable.

When you do:
$ perf record -e cycles,cycles,cycles noploop 10
You expect about 10,000 samples for each event, i.e., 10s at
1000samples/sec. However, this is not what's happening. You
get much fewer samples, maybe 3700 samples/event:
$ perf report -D | tail -15
Aggregated stats:
TOTAL events: 10998
MMAP events: 66
COMM events: 2
SAMPLE events: 10930
cycles stats:
TOTAL events: 3644
SAMPLE events: 3644
cycles stats:
TOTAL events: 3642
SAMPLE events: 3642
cycles stats:
TOTAL events: 3644
SAMPLE events: 3644
On a Intel Nehalem or even AMD64, there are 4 counters capable
of measuring cycles, so there is plenty of space to measure those
events without multiplexing (even with the NMI watchdog active).
And even with multiplexing, we'd expect roughly the same number
of samples per event.
The root of the problem was that when the event that caused the buffer
to become full was not the first event passed on the cmdline, the user
notification would get lost. The notification was sent to the file
descriptor of the overflowed event but the perf tool was not polling
on it. The perf tool aggregates all samples into a single buffer,
i.e., the buffer of the first event. Consequently, it assumes
notifications for any event will come via that descriptor.
The seemingly straight forward solution of moving the waitq into the
ringbuffer object doesn't work because of life-time issues. One could
perf_event_set_output() on a fd that you're also blocking on and cause
the old rb object to be freed while its waitq would still be
referenced by the blocked thread -> FAIL.
Therefore link all events to the ringbuffer and broadcast the wakeup
from the ringbuffer object to all possible events that could be waited
upon. This is rather ugly, and we're open to better solutions but it
works for now.

This patch solves the following problem:
Now some samples may be lost due to throttling. The number of samples is
restricted by sysctl_perf_event_sample_rate/HZ. A trace event is
divided on some samples according to event's period. I don't sure, that
we should generate more than one sample on each trace event. I think the
better way to use SAMPLE_PERIOD.
E.g.: I want to trace when a process sleeps. I created a process, which
sleeps for 1ms and for 4ms. perf got 100 events in both cases.
swapper 0 [000] 1141.371830: sched_stat_sleep: comm=foo pid=1801 delay=1386750 [ns]
swapper 0 [000] 1141.369444: sched_stat_sleep: comm=foo pid=1801 delay=4499585 [ns]
In the first case a kernel want to send 4499585 events and
in the second case it wants to send 1386750 events.
perf-reports shows that process sleeps in both places equal time. It's
bug.
With this patch kernel generates one event on each "sleep" and the time
slice is saved in the field "period". Perf knows how handle it.

The legacy x86 nmi watchdog code was removed with the implementation
of the perf based nmi watchdog. This broke Oprofile's nmi timer
mode. To run nmi timer mode we relied on a continuous ticking nmi
source which the nmi watchdog provided. The nmi tick was no longer
available and current watchdog can not be used anymore since it runs
with very long periods in the range of seconds. This patch
reimplements the nmi timer mode using a perf counter nmi source.

This reverts commit 144060fee07e9c22e179d00819c83c86fbcbf82c.
It causes a resume regression for Andi on his Acer Aspire 1830T post
3.1. The screen just stays black after wakeup.
Also, it really looks like the wrong way to suspend and resume perf
events: I think they should be done as part of the CPU suspend and
resume, rather than as a notifier that does smp_call_function().

Some kernel components pin user space memory (infiniband and perf) (by
increasing the page count) and account that memory as "mlocked".
The difference between mlocking and pinning is:
A. mlocked pages are marked with PG_mlocked and are exempt from
swapping. Page migration may move them around though.
They are kept on a special LRU list.
B. Pinned pages cannot be moved because something needs to
directly access physical memory. They may not be on any
LRU list.
I recently saw an mlockalled process where mm->locked_vm became
bigger than the virtual size of the process (!) because some
memory was accounted for twice:
Once when the page was mlocked and once when the Infiniband
layer increased the refcount because it needt to pin the RDMA
memory.
This patch introduces a separate counter for pinned pages and
accounts them seperately.

We detected a serious issue with PERF_SAMPLE_READ and
timing information when events were being multiplexing.
Samples would have time_running > time_enabled. That
was easy to reproduce with a libpfm4 example (ran 3
times to cause multiplexing on Core 2):
$ syst_smpl -e uops_retired:freq=1 &
$ syst_smpl -e uops_retired:freq=1 &
$ syst_smpl -e uops_retired:freq=1 &
IIP:0x0000000040062d ... PERIOD:2355332948 ENA=40144625315 RUN=60014875184
syst_smpl: WARNING: time_running > time_enabled
63277537998 uops_retired:freq=1 , scaled
The bug was not present in kernel up to (and including) 3.0. It turns
out the bug was introduced by the following commit:
commit c4794295917ebeda8013b6cb9c8d71ab4f74a1fa
events: Move lockless timer calculation into helper function
The parameters of the function got reversed yet the call sites
were not updated to reflect the change. That lead to time_running
and time_enabled being swapped. That had no effect when there was
no multiplexing because in that case time_running = time_enabled
but it would show up in any other scenario.

The current cgroup context switch code was incorrect leading
to bogus counts. Furthermore, as soon as there was an active
cgroup event on a CPU, the context switch cost on that CPU
would increase by a significant amount as demonstrated by a
simple ping/pong example:
$ ./pong
Both processes pinned to CPU1, running for 10s
10684.51 ctxsw/s
Now start a cgroup perf stat:
$ perf stat -e cycles,cycles -A -a -G test -C 1 -- sleep 100
$ ./pong
Both processes pinned to CPU1, running for 10s
6674.61 ctxsw/s
That's a 37% penalty.
Note that pong is not even in the monitored cgroup.
The results shown by perf stat are bogus:
$ perf stat -e cycles,cycles -A -a -G test -C 1 -- sleep 100
Performance counter stats for 'sleep 100':
CPU1 <not counted> cycles test
CPU1 16,984,189,138 cycles # 0.000 GHz
The second 'cycles' event should report a count @ CPU clock
(here 2.4GHz) as it is counting across all cgroups.
The patch below fixes the bogus accounting and bypasses any
cgroup switches in case the outgoing and incoming tasks are
in the same cgroup.
With this patch the same test now yields:
$ ./pong
Both processes pinned to CPU1, running for 10s
10775.30 ctxsw/s
Start perf stat with cgroup:
$ perf stat -e cycles,cycles -A -a -G test -C 1 -- sleep 10
Run pong outside the cgroup:
$ /pong
Both processes pinned to CPU1, running for 10s
10687.80 ctxsw/s
The penalty is now less than 2%.
And the results for perf stat are correct:
$ perf stat -e cycles,cycles -A -a -G test -C 1 -- sleep 10
Performance counter stats for 'sleep 10':
CPU1 <not counted> cycles test # 0.000 GHz
CPU1 23,933,981,448 cycles # 0.000 GHz
Now perf stat reports the correct counts for
for the non cgroup event.
If we run pong inside the cgroup, then we also get the
correct counts:
$ perf stat -e cycles,cycles -A -a -G test -C 1 -- sleep 10
Performance counter stats for 'sleep 10':
CPU1 22,297,726,205 cycles test # 0.000 GHz
CPU1 23,933,981,448 cycles # 0.000 GHz

Currently, an event's 'pmu' field is set after pmu::event_init() is
called. This means that pmu::event_init() must figure out which struct
pmu the event was initialised from. This makes it difficult to
consolidate common event initialisation code for similar PMUs, and
very difficult to implement drivers for PMUs which can have multiple
instances (e.g. a USB controller PMU, a GPU PMU, etc).
This patch sets the 'pmu' field before initialising the event, allowing
event init code to identify the struct pmu instance easily. In the
event of failure to initialise an event, the event is destroyed via
kfree() without calling perf_event::destroy(), so this shouldn't
result in bad behaviour even if the destroy field was set before
failure to initialise was noted.

Francis reports that s2r gets him spurious NMIs, this is because the
suspend code leaves the boot cpu up and running.
Cure this by adding a suspend notifier. The problem is that hotplug
and suspend are completely un-serialized and the PM notifiers run
before the suspend cpu unplug of all but the boot cpu.
This leaves a window where the user can initialize another hotplug
operation (either remove or add a cpu) resulting in either one too
many or one too few hotplug ops. Thus we cannot use the hotplug code
for the suspend case.
There's another reason to not use the hotplug code, which is that the
hotplug code totally destroys the perf state, we can do better for
suspend and simply remove all counters from the PMU so that we can
re-instate them on resume.

The perf_event overflow handler does not receive any caller-derived
argument, so many callers need to resort to looking up the perf_event
in their local data structure. This is ugly and doesn't scale if a
single callback services many perf_events.
Fix by adding a context parameter to perf_event_create_kernel_counter()
(and derived hardware breakpoints APIs) and storing it in the perf_event.
The field can be accessed from the callback as event->overflow_handler_context.
All callers are updated.

The nmi parameter indicated if we could do wakeups from the current
context, if not, we would set some state and self-IPI and let the
resulting interrupt do the wakeup.
For the various event classes:
- hardware: nmi=0; PMI is in fact an NMI or we run irq_work_run from
the PMI-tail (ARM etc.)
- tracepoint: nmi=0; since tracepoint could be from NMI context.
- software: nmi=[0,1]; some, like the schedule thing cannot
perform wakeups, and hence need 0.
As one can see, there is very little nmi=1 usage, and the down-side of
not using it is that on some platforms some software events can have a
jiffy delay in wakeup (when arch_irq_work_raise isn't implemented).
The up-side however is that we can remove the nmi parameter and save a
bunch of conditionals in fast paths.

The event tracing infrastructure exposes two timers which should be updated
each time the value of the counter is updated. Currently, these counters are
only updated when userspace calls read() on the fd associated with an event.
This means that counters which are read via the mmap'd page exclusively never
have their timers updated. This patch adds ensures that the timers are updated
each time the values in the mmap'd page are updated.

Since 2.6.36 (specifically commit d57e34fdd60b ("perf: Simplify the
ring-buffer logic: make perf_buffer_alloc() do everything needed"),
the perf_buffer_init_code() has been mis-setting the buffer watermark
if perf_event_attr.wakeup_events has a non-zero value.
This is because perf_event_attr.wakeup_events is a union with
perf_event_attr.wakeup_watermark.
This commit re-enables the check for perf_event_attr.watermark being
set before continuing with setting a non-default watermark.
This bug is most noticable when you are trying to use PERF_IOC_REFRESH
with a value larger than one and perf_event_attr.wakeup_events is set to
one. In this case the buffer watermark will be set to 1 and you will
get extraneous POLL_IN overflows rather than POLL_HUP as expected.

A lost Quilt refresh of 2c29ef0fef8 (perf: Simplify and fix
__perf_install_in_context()) is causing grief and lockups,
reported by Jiri Olsa.
When installing an event in a task context, there's a number of
issues:
- there might not be an existing task context, in which case
we should install the now current context;
- there might already be a context, not the current one, in
which case we should de-schedule the old and install the new;
these cases were dealt with in the lost refresh, however there is one
further case that was found in testing:
- there might already be a context, the current one, in which
case we should still de-schedule, and should take care
to re-install it (note that task_ctx_sched_out() clears
cpuctx->task_ctx).
