If you had pinned events, e.g., watchdog, and were\nover-committing the PMU, you would get bogus counts. The bug was\nshowing up on Intel CPU because events would move around more\noften that on AMD. But the problem also existed on AMD, though\nharder to expose.\n\nThe issues were:\n\n - group_sched_in() was missing a cancel_txn() in the error path\n\n - cpuc-\u003en_added was not properly maintained, leading to missing\n actions in hw_perf_enable(), i.e., n_running being 0. You cannot\n update n_added until you know the transaction has succeeded. In\n case of failed transaction n_added was not adjusted back.\n\n - in case of failed transactions, event_sched_out() was called\n and eventually invoked x86_disable_event() to touch the HW reg.\n But with transactions, on X86, event_sched_in() does not touch\n HW registers, it simply collects events into a list. Thus, you\n could end up calling x86_disable_event() on a counter which\n did not correspond to the current event when idx !\u003d -1.\n\nThe patch modifies the generic and X86 code to avoid all those problems.\n\nFirst, we keep track of the number of events added last. In case the\ntransaction fails, we substract them from n_added. This approach is\nnecessary (as opposed to delaying updates to n_added) because not all\nevent updates use the transaction API, e.g., single events.\n\nSecond, we encapsulate the event_sched_in() and event_sched_out() in\ngroup_sched_in() inside the transaction. That makes the operations\nsymmetrical and you can also detect that you are inside a transaction\nand skip the HW reg access by checking cpuc-\u003egroup_flag.\n\nWith this patch, you can now overcommit the PMU even with pinned\nsystem-wide events present and still get valid counts.\n\nSigned-off-by: Stephane Eranian \u003ceranian@google.com\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Peter Zijlstra \u003ca.p.zijlstra@chello.nl\u003e\nLKML-Reference: \u003c1274796225.5882.1389.camel@twins\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Ingo Molnar \u003cmingo@elte.hu\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "2e97942fe57864588774f173cf4cd7bb68968b76", "tree": "bf0eeda8c13a6e851ad755b7114ceaa82c51fd97", "parents": [ "3771f0771154675d4a0ca780be2411f3cc357208" ], "author": { "name": "Peter Zijlstra", "email": "a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl", "time": "Fri May 21 16:22:33 2010 +0200" }, "committer": { "name": "Ingo Molnar", "email": "mingo@elte.hu", "time": "Mon May 31 08:46:09 2010 +0200" }, "message": "perf_events, trace: Fix perf_trace_destroy(), mutex went missing\n\nSteve spotted I forgot to do the destroy under event_mutex.\n\nReported-by: Steven Rostedt \u003crostedt@goodmis.org\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Peter Zijlstra \u003ca.p.zijlstra@chello.nl\u003e\nLKML-Reference: \u003c1274451913.1674.1707.camel@laptop\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Ingo Molnar \u003cmingo@elte.hu\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "3771f0771154675d4a0ca780be2411f3cc357208", "tree": "106512f307e2aa0a89f92c01598d5fa75903af47", "parents": [ "8a49542c0554af7d0073aac0ee73ee65b807ef34" ], "author": { "name": "Peter Zijlstra", "email": "a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl", "time": "Fri May 21 12:31:09 2010 +0200" }, "committer": { "name": "Ingo Molnar", "email": "mingo@elte.hu", "time": "Mon May 31 08:46:09 2010 +0200" }, "message": "perf_events, trace: Fix probe unregister race\n\ntracepoint_probe_unregister() does not synchronize against the probe\ncallbacks, so do that explicitly.

We had reports of several races, including\nsome reports of apps bypassing our recursion check so that a process that\nwas forked as part of a core_pattern setup could infinitely crash and\nrefork until the system crashed.\n\nWe fixed those by improving our recursion checks. The new check basically\nrefuses to fork a process if its core limit is zero, which works well.\n\nUnfortunately, I\u0027ve been getting grief from maintainer of user space\nprograms that are inserted as the forked process of core_pattern. They\ncontend that in order for their programs (such as abrt and apport) to\nwork, all the running processes in a system must have their core limits\nset to a non-zero value, to which I say \u0027yes\u0027. I did this by design, and\nthink thats the right way to do things.\n\nBut I\u0027ve been asked to ease this burden on user space enough times that I\nthought I would take a look at it. The first suggestion was to make the\nrecursion check fail on a non-zero \u0027special\u0027 number, like one. That way\nthe core collector process could set its core size ulimit to 1, and enable\nthe kernel\u0027s recursion detection. This isn\u0027t a bad idea on the surface,\nbut I don\u0027t like it since its opt-in, in that if a program like abrt or\napport has a bug and fails to set such a core limit, we\u0027re left with a\nrecursively crashing system again.\n\nSo I\u0027ve come up with this. What I\u0027ve done is modify the\ncall_usermodehelper api such that an extra parameter is added, a function\npointer which will be called by the user helper task, after it forks, but\nbefore it exec\u0027s the required process. This will give the caller the\nopportunity to get a call back in the processes context, allowing it to do\nwhatever it needs to to the process in the kernel prior to exec-ing the\nuser space code. In the case of do_coredump, this callback is ues to set\nthe core ulimit of the helper process to 1. This elimnates the opt-in\nproblem that I had above, as it allows the ulimit for core sizes to be set\nto the value of 1, which is what the recursion check looks for in\ndo_coredump.\n\nThis patch:\n\nCreate new function call_usermodehelper_fns() and allow it to assign both\nan init and cleanup function, as we\u0027ll as arbitrary data.\n\nThe init function is called from the context of the forked process and\nallows for customization of the helper process prior to calling exec. Its\nreturn code gates the continuation of the process, or causes its exit.\nAlso add an arbitrary data pointer to the subprocess_info struct allowing\nfor data to be passed from the caller to the new process, and the\nsubsequent cleanup process\n\nAlso, use this patch to cleanup the cleanup function. It currently takes\nan argp and envp pointer for freeing, which is ugly. Lets instead just\nmake the subprocess_info structure public, and pass that to the cleanup\nand init routines\n\nSigned-off-by: Neil Horman \u003cnhorman@tuxdriver.com\u003e\nReviewed-by: Oleg Nesterov \u003coleg@redhat.com\u003e\nCc: Andi Kleen \u003candi@firstfloor.org\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Andrew Morton \u003cakpm@linux-foundation.org\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Linus Torvalds \u003ctorvalds@linux-foundation.org\u003e\n" } ], "next": "065add3941bdca54fe04ed3471a96bce9af88793" }
