Peter Zijlstra (Intel) 86038c5ea8 perf: Avoid horrible stack usage
Both Linus (most recent) and Steve (a while ago) reported that perf
related callbacks have massive stack bloat.

The problem is that software events need a pt_regs in order to
properly report the event location and unwind stack. And because we
could not assume one was present we allocated one on stack and filled
it with minimal bits required for operation.

Now, pt_regs is quite large, so this is undesirable. Furthermore it
turns out that most sites actually have a pt_regs pointer available,
making this even more onerous, as the stack space is pointless waste.

This patch addresses the problem by observing that software events
have well defined nesting semantics, therefore we can use static
per-cpu storage instead of on-stack.

Linus made the further observation that all but the scheduler callers
of perf_sw_event() have a pt_regs available, so we change the regular
perf_sw_event() to require a valid pt_regs (where it used to be
optional) and add perf_sw_event_sched() for the scheduler.

We have a scheduler specific call instead of a more generic _noregs()
like construct because we can assume non-recursion from the scheduler
and thereby simplify the code further (_noregs would have to put the
recursion context call inline in order to assertain which __perf_regs
element to use).

One last note on the implementation of perf_trace_buf_prepare(); we
allow .regs = NULL for those cases where we already have a pt_regs
pointer available and do not need another.

Jiri Olsa f4be073db8 perf: Check permission only for parent tracepoint event
There's no need to check cloned event's permission once the
parent was already checked.

Also the code is checking 'current' process permissions, which
is not owner process for cloned events, thus could end up with
wrong permission check result.

Vince Weaver 0022cedd4a perf/trace: Properly use u64 to hold event_id
The 64-bit attr.config value for perf trace events was being copied into
an "int" before doing a comparison, meaning the top 32 bits were
being truncated.

As far as I can tell this didn't cause any errors, but it did mean
it was possible to create valid aliases for all the tracepoint ids
which I don't think was intended.  (For example, 0xffffffff00000018
and 0x18 both enable the same tracepoint).

Peter Zijlstra d5b5f391d4 ftrace, perf: Avoid infinite event generation loop
Vince's perf-trinity fuzzer found yet another 'interesting' problem.

When we sample the irq_work_exit tracepoint with period==1 (or
PERF_SAMPLE_PERIOD) and we add an fasync SIGNAL handler we create an
infinite event generation loop:

  ,-> <IPI>
  |     irq_work_exit() ->
  |       trace_irq_work_exit() ->
  |         ...
  |           __perf_event_overflow() -> (due to fasync)
  |             irq_work_queue() -> (irq_work_list must be empty)
  '---------      arch_irq_work_raise()

Similar things can happen due to regular poll() wakeups if we exceed
the ring-buffer wakeup watermark, or have an event_limit.

To avoid this, dis-allow sampling this particular tracepoint.

In order to achieve this, create a special perf_perm function pointer
for each event and call this (when set) on trying to create a
tracepoint perf event.

Steven Rostedt 12ae030d54 perf/ftrace: Fix paranoid level for enabling function tracer
The current default perf paranoid level is "1" which has
"perf_paranoid_kernel()" return false, and giving any operations that
use it, access to normal users. Unfortunately, this includes function
tracing and normal users should not be allowed to enable function
tracing by default.

The proper level is defined at "-1" (full perf access), which
"perf_paranoid_tracepoint_raw()" will only give access to. Use that
check instead for enabling function tracing.

Andrew Vagin e6dab5ffab perf/trace: Add ability to set a target task for events
A few events are interesting not only for a current task.
For example, sched_stat_* events are interesting for a task
which wakes up. For this reason, it will be good if such
events will be delivered to a target task too.

Now a target task can be set by using __perf_task().

The original idea and a draft patch belongs to Peter Zijlstra.

I need these events for profiling sleep times. sched_switch is used for
getting callchains and sched_stat_* is used for getting time periods.
These events are combined in user space, then it can be analyzed by
perf tools.

Later patches that implement regs passing for the architectures will require
having the ftrace_ops set the SAVE_REGS flag, which will tell the arch
to take the time to pass a full set of pt_regs to the ftrace_ops callback
function. If the arch does not support it then it should pass NULL.

If an arch can pass full regs, then it should define:
 ARCH_SUPPORTS_FTRACE_SAVE_REGS to 1

Jiri Olsa 5500fa5119 ftrace, perf: Add filter support for function trace event
Adding support to filter function trace event via perf
interface. It is now possible to use filter interface
in the perf tool like:

  perf record -e ftrace:function --filter="(ip == mm_*)" ls

The filter syntax is restricted to the the 'ip' field only,
and following operators are accepted '==' '!=' '||', ending
up with the filter strings like:

  ip == f1[, ]f2 ... || ip != f3[, ]f4 ...

with comma ',' or space ' ' as a function separator. If the
space ' ' is used as a separator, the right side of the
assignment needs to be enclosed in double quotes '"', e.g.:

  perf record -e ftrace:function --filter '(ip == do_execve,sys_*,ext*)' ls
  perf record -e ftrace:function --filter '(ip == "do_execve,sys_*,ext*")' ls
  perf record -e ftrace:function --filter '(ip == "do_execve sys_* ext*")' ls

The '==' operator adds trace filter with same effect as would
be added via set_ftrace_filter file.

The '!=' operator adds trace filter with same effect as would
be added via set_ftrace_notrace file.

The right side of the '!=', '==' operators is list of functions
or regexp. to be added to filter separated by space.

The '||' operator is used for connecting multiple filter definitions
together. It is possible to have more than one '==' and '!='
operators within one filter string.

Jiri Olsa ced39002f5 ftrace, perf: Add support to use function tracepoint in perf
Adding perf registration support for the ftrace function event,
so it is now possible to register it via perf interface.

The perf_event struct statically contains ftrace_ops as a handle
for function tracer. The function tracer is registered/unregistered
in open/close actions.

To be efficient, we enable/disable ftrace_ops each time the traced
process is scheduled in/out (via TRACE_REG_PERF_(ADD|DELL) handlers).
This way tracing is enabled only when the process is running.
Intentionally using this way instead of the event's hw state
PERF_HES_STOPPED, which would not disable the ftrace_ops.

It is now possible to use function trace within perf commands
like:

  perf record -e ftrace:function ls
  perf stat -e ftrace:function ls

Allowed only for root.

Peter Zijlstra a4eaf7f146 perf: Rework the PMU methods
Replace pmu::{enable,disable,start,stop,unthrottle} with
pmu::{add,del,start,stop}, all of which take a flags argument.

The new interface extends the capability to stop a counter while
keeping it scheduled on the PMU. We replace the throttled state with
the generic stopped state.

This also allows us to efficiently stop/start counters over certain
code paths (like IRQ handlers).

It also allows scheduling a counter without it starting, allowing for
a generic frozen state (useful for rotating stopped counters).

The stopped state is implemented in two different ways, depending on
how the architecture implemented the throttled state:

 1) We disable the counter:
    a) the pmu has per-counter enable bits, we flip that
    b) we program a NOP event, preserving the counter state

 2) We store the counter state and ignore all read/overflow events

Frederic Weisbecker 669336e4cf perf: Use tracepoint_synchronize_unregister() to flush any pending tracepoint call
We use synchronize_sched() to ensure a tracepoint won't be called
while/after we release the perf buffers it references.

But the tracepoint API has its own API for that:
tracepoint_synchronize_unregister(). Use it instead as it's
self-explanatory and eases maintainance.

Steven Rostedt a1d0ce8213 tracing: Use class->reg() for all registering of events
Because kprobes and syscalls need special processing to register
events, the class->reg() method was created to handle the differences.

But instead of creating a default ->reg for perf and ftrace events,
the code was scattered with:

	if (class->reg)
		class->reg();
	else
		default_reg();

This is messy and can also lead to bugs.

This patch cleans up this code and creates a default reg() entry for
the events allowing for the code to directly call the class->reg()
without the condition.

Steven Rostedt a8fb260805 perf/tracing: Fix regression of perf losing kprobe events
With the addition of the code to shrink the kernel tracepoint
infrastructure, we lost kprobes being traced by perf. The reason
is that I tested if the "tp_event->class->perf_probe" existed before
enabling it. This prevents "ftrace only" events (like the function
trace events) from being enabled by perf.

Unfortunately, kprobe events do not use perf_probe. This causes
kprobes to be missed by perf. To fix this, we add the test to
see if "tp_event->class->reg" exists as well as perf_probe.

Normal trace events have only "perf_probe" but no "reg" function,
and kprobes and syscalls have the "reg" but no "perf_probe".
The ftrace unique events do not have either, so this is a valid
test. If a kprobe or syscall is not to be probed by perf, the
"reg" function is called anyway, and will return a failure and
prevent perf from probing it.

Drop this argument now that we always want to rewind only to the

It means frame pointers are not necessary anymore to reliably get
the source of an event. But this also means we need this helper
to be a macro now, as an inline function is not an option since
we need to know when to provide a default implentation.

Peter Zijlstra 87f44bbc24 perf, trace: Fix !x86 build bug
Patch b7e2ecef92 (perf, trace: Optimize tracepoints by removing
IRQ-disable from perf/tracepoint interaction) made the
unfortunate mistake of assuming the world is x86 only, correct
this.

The problem was that perf_fetch_caller_regs() did
local_save_flags() into regs->flags, and I re-used that to
remove another local_save_flags(), forgetting !x86 doesn't have
regs->flags.

Do the reverse, remove the local_save_flags() from
perf_fetch_caller_regs() and let the ftrace site do the
local_save_flags() instead.

Steven Rostedt 32c0edaeaa tracing: Remove duplicate id information in event structure
Now that the trace_event structure is embedded in the ftrace_event_call
structure, there is no need for the ftrace_event_call id field.
The id field is the same as the trace_event type field.

Removing the id and re-arranging the structure brings down the tracepoint
footprint by another 5K.

Steven Rostedt 2239291aeb tracing: Remove per event trace registering
This patch removes the register functions of TRACE_EVENT() to enable
and disable tracepoints. The registering of a event is now down
directly in the trace_events.c file. The tracepoint_probe_register()
is now called directly.

The prototypes are no longer type checked, but this should not be
an issue since the tracepoints are created automatically by the
macros. If a prototype is incorrect in the TRACE_EVENT() macro, then
other macros will catch it.

The trace_event_class structure now holds the probes to be called
by the callbacks. This removes needing to have each event have
a separate pointer for the probe.

To handle kprobes and syscalls, since they register probes in a
different manner, a "reg" field is added to the ftrace_event_class
structure. If the "reg" field is assigned, then it will be called for
enabling and disabling of the probe for either ftrace or perf. To let
the reg function know what is happening, a new enum (trace_reg) is
created that has the type of control that is needed.

With this new rework, the 82 kernel events and 618 syscall events
has their footprint dramatically lowered:

   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
4913961	1088356	 861512	6863829	 68bbd5	vmlinux.orig
4914025	1088868	 861512	6864405	 68be15	vmlinux.class
4918492	1084612	 861512	6864616	 68bee8	vmlinux.tracepoint
4900252	1057412	 861512	6819176	 680d68	vmlinux.regs

The size went from 6863829 to 6819176, that's a total of 44K
in savings. With tracepoints being continuously added, this is
critical that the footprint becomes minimal.

v5: Added #ifdef CONFIG_PERF_EVENTS around a reference to perf
    specific structure in trace_events.c.

v4: Fixed trace self tests to check probe because regfunc no longer
    exists.

v3: Updated to handle void *data in beginning of probe parameters.
    Also added the tracepoint: check_trace_callback_type_##call().

v2: Changed the callback probes to pass void * and typecast the
    value within the function.

Frederic Weisbecker eb1e79611c perf: Correctly align perf event tracing buffer
The trace event buffer used by perf to record raw sample events
is typed as an array of char and may then not be aligned to 8
by alloc_percpu().

But we need it to be aligned to 8 in sparc64 because we cast
this buffer into a random structure type built by the TRACE_EVENT()
macro to store the traces. So if a random 64 bits field is accessed
inside, it may be not under an expected good alignment.

Use an array of long instead to force the appropriate alignment, and
perform a compile time check to ensure the size in byte of the buffer
is a multiple of sizeof(long) so that its actual size doesn't get
shrinked under us.

This fixes unaligned accesses reported while using perf lock
in sparc 64.

perf_arch_fetch_caller_regs() is exported for the overriden x86
version, but not for the generic weak version.

As a general rule, weak functions should not have their symbol

So let's export it on trace_event_perf.c as it is used by trace
events only.

This fixes:

	ERROR: ".perf_arch_fetch_caller_regs" [fs/xfs/xfs.ko] undefined!
	ERROR: ".perf_arch_fetch_caller_regs" [arch/powerpc/platforms/cell/spufs/spufs.ko] undefined!
