      kprobes: Rename old_p to more appropriate name · 6d8e40a8
      Masami Hiramatsu authored
      Rename irrelevant uses of "old_p" to more appropriate names.
      Originally, "old_p" just meant "the old kprobe on given address"
      but current code uses that name as "just another kprobe" or
      something like that. This patch renames those pointer names
      to more appropriate one for maintainability.

      perf events: Default to using event__process_lost · 37982ba0
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored
      Tool developers have to fill in a 'perf_event_ops' method table to
      specify how to handle each event, so far the ones that were not
      explicitely especified would get a stub that would just discard the
      event.
      
      Change that so that tool developers can get the lost event details and
      the total number of such events at the end of 'perf report -D' output.

      perf record: Add option to disable collecting build-ids · baa2f6ce
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored
      Collecting build-ids for long running sessions may take a long time
      because it needs to traverse the whole just collected perf.data stream
      of events, marking the DSOs that had hits and then looking for the
      .note.gnu.build-id ELF section.
      
      For things like the 'trace' tool that records and right away consumes
      the data on systems where its unlikely that the DSOs being monitored
      will change while 'trace' runs, it is desirable to remove build id
      collection, so add a -B/--no-buildid option to perf record to allow such
      use case.
      
      Longer term we'll avoid all this if we, at DSO load time, in the kernel,
      take advantage of this slow code path to collect the build-id and stash
      it somewhere, so that we can insert it in the PERF_RECORD_MMAP event.

      perf, x86: P4 PMU - describe config format · af86da53
      Cyrill Gorcunov authored
      Add description of .config in a sake of RAW events.
      At least this should bring some light to those who
      will be reading this code.

      perf, arch: Cleanup perf-pmu init vs lockup-detector · 004417a6
      Peter Zijlstra authored
      The perf hardware pmu got initialized at various points in the boot,
      some before early_initcall() some after (notably arch_initcall).
      
      The problem is that the NMI lockup detector is ran from early_initcall()
      and expects the hardware pmu to be present.
      
      Sanitize this by moving all architecture hardware pmu implementations to
      initialize at early_initcall() and move the lockup detector to an explicit
      initcall right after that.

      x86: Set cpu masks before calling CPU_STARTING notifiers · 5ef428c4
      Andi Kleen authored
      When booting up a CPU set the various topology masks before
      calling the CPU_STARTING notifier. This way the notifier
      can actually use the masks.
      
      This is needed for a perf change.
