Anton reported that perf record kept receiving events even after calling
ioctl(PERF_EVENT_IOC_DISABLE). It turns out that FORK,COMM and MMAP
events didn't respect the disabled state and kept flowing in.

Liming found a NULL deref when a task has a perf context but no
counters when it forks.
This can occur in two cases, a race during construction where
the fork hits after installing the context but before the first
counter gets inserted, or more reproducably, a fork after the
last counter is closed (which leaves the context around).

It seems a couple places such as arch/ia64/kernel/perfmon.c and
drivers/infiniband/core/uverbs_main.c could use anon_inode_getfile()
instead of a private pseudo-fs + alloc_file(), if only there were a way
to get a read-only file. So provide this by having anon_inode_getfile()
create a read-only file if we pass O_RDONLY in flags.

It is quite legitimate for CPUs to be numbered sparsely, meaning
that it possible for an online CPU to have a number which is
greater than the total count of possible CPUs.
Currently find_get_context() has a sanity check on the cpu
number where it checks it against num_possible_cpus(). This
test can fail for a legitimate cpu number if the
cpu_possible_mask is sparsely populated.
This fixes the problem by checking the CPU number against
nr_cpumask_bits instead, since that is the appropriate check to
ensure that the cpu number is same to pass to cpu_isset()
subsequently.

Currently, when ptrace needs to modify a breakpoint, like disabling
it, changing its address, type or len, it calls
modify_user_hw_breakpoint(). This latter will perform the heavy and
racy task of unregistering the old breakpoint and registering a new
one.
This is racy as someone else might steal the reserved breakpoint
slot under us, which is undesired as the breakpoint is only
supposed to be modified, sometimes in the middle of a debugging
workflow. We don't want our slot to be stolen in the middle.
So instead of unregistering/registering the breakpoint, just
disable it while we modify its breakpoint fields and re-enable it
after if necessary.

It is quite possible to call update_event_times() on a context
that isn't actually running and thereby confuse the thing.
perf stat was reporting !100% scale values for software counters
(2e2af50b perf_events: Disable events when we detach them,
solved the worst of that, but there was still some left).
The thing that happens is that because we are not self-reaping
(we have a caring parent) there is a time between the last
schedule (out) and having do_exit() called which will detach the
events.
This period would be accounted as enabled,!running because the
event->state==INACTIVE, even though !event->ctx->is_active.
Similar issues could have been observed by calling read() on a
event while the attached task was not scheduled in.
Solve this by teaching update_event_times() about
ctx->is_active.

used to fill the content. The strncpy() function also pads the

When we commit a trace to perf, we first check if we are
recursing in the same buffer so that we don't mess-up the buffer
with a recursing trace. But later on, we do the same check from
perf to avoid commit recursion. The recursion check is desired
early before we touch the buffer but we want to do this check
only once.
Then export the recursion protection from perf and use it from
the trace events before submitting a trace.

This patch fixes the default watermark value for the sampling
buffer. With the existing calculation (watermark =
max(PAGE_SIZE, max_size / 2)), no notification was ever received
when the buffer was exactly 1 page. This was because you would
never cross the threshold (there is no partial samples).
In certain configuration, there was no possibilty detecting the
problem because there was not enough space left to store the
LOST record.In fact, there may be a more generic problem here.
The kernel should ensure that there is alaways enough space to
store one LOST record.
This patch sets the default watermark to half the buffer size.
With such limit, we are guaranteed to get a notification even
with a single page buffer assuming no sample is bigger than a
page.

As Corey reported, the total_enabled and total_running times
could occasionally be 0, even though there were events counted.
It turns out this is because we record the times before reading
the counter while the latter updates the times.
This patch corrects that.
While looking at this code I found that there is a lot of
locking iffyness around, the following patches correct most of
that.
