      perf/x86: Fix spurious NMI with PEBS Load Latency event · fd583ad1
      Kan Liang authored
      Spurious NMIs will be observed with the following command:
      
        while :; do
          perf record -bae "cpu/umask=0x01,event=0xcd,ldlat=0x80/pp"
                        -e "cpu/umask=0x03,event=0x0/"
                        -e "cpu/umask=0x02,event=0x0/"
                        -e cycles,branches,cache-misses
                        -e cache-references -- sleep 10
        done
      
      The bug was introduced by commit:
      
        8077eca0 ("perf/x86/pebs: Add workaround for broken OVFL status on HSW+")
      
      That commit clears the status bits for the counters used for PEBS
      events, by masking the whole 64 bits pebs_enabled. However, only the
      low 32 bits of both status and pebs_enabled are reserved for PEBS-able
      counters.
      
      For status bits 32-34 are fixed counter overflow bits. For
      pebs_enabled bits 32-34 are for PEBS Load Latency.
      
      In the test case, the PEBS Load Latency event and fixed counter event
      could overflow at the same time. The fixed counter overflow bit will
      be cleared by mistake. Once it is cleared, the fixed counter overflow
      never be processed, which finally trigger spurious NMI.
      
      Correct the PEBS enabled mask by ignoring the non-PEBS bits.

      perf/x86: Avoid exposing wrong/stale data in intel_pmu_lbr_read_32() · f2200ac3
      Peter Zijlstra authored
      When the perf_branch_entry::{in_tx,abort,cycles} fields were added,
      intel_pmu_lbr_read_32() wasn't updated to initialize them.

      perf tools: Pass PYTHON config to feature detection · 7be6b316
      David Carrillo-Cisneros authored
      ( This is a rebased version of https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/2/7/662 )
      
      Python's CC and link Makefile variables were not passed to feature
      detection, causing feature detection to use system's Python rather than
      PYTHON_CONFIG's one. This created a mismatch between the detected Python
      support and the one actually used by perf when PYTHON_CONFIG is
      specified.
      
      Fix it by moving Python's variable initialization to before feature
      detection and pass FLAGS_PYTHON_EMBED to Python's feature detection's
      build target.

      kprobes/x86: Consolidate insn decoder users for copying code · a8d11cd0
      Masami Hiramatsu authored
      Consolidate x86 instruction decoder users on the path of
      copying original code for kprobes.
      
      Kprobes decodes the same instruction a maximum of 3 times when
      preparing the instruction buffer:
      
       - The first time for getting the length of the instruction,
       - the 2nd for adjusting displacement,
       - and the 3rd for checking whether the instruction is boostable or not.
      
      For each time, the actual decoding target address is slightly
      different (1st is original address or recovered instruction buffer,
      2nd and 3rd are pointing to the copied buffer), but all have
      the same instruction.
      
      Thus, this patch also changes the target address to the copied
      buffer at first and reuses the decoded "insn" for displacement
      adjusting and checking boostability.
