perf-top is terminating due to SIGBUS on sparc64. git bisect points to: commit 82396986 Author: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Date: Mon Sep 8 13:26:35 2014 -0300 perf evlist: Refcount mmaps We need to know how many fds are using a perf mmap via PERF_EVENT_IOC_SET_OUTPUT, so that we can know when to ditch an mmap, refcount it. This commit added 'int refcnt' to struct perf_mmap and the addition makes the event_copy element no longer 8-byte aligned. Fix by adding __attribute__((aligned(8))) to the event_copy struct member.

Commit f6edb53c converted the probe to a CPU wide event first (pid == -1). For kernels that do not support the PERF_FLAG_FD_CLOEXEC flag the probe fails with EINVAL. Since this errno is not handled pid is not reset to 0 and the subsequent use of pid = -1 as an argument brings in an additional failure path if perf_event_paranoid > 0: $ perf record -- sleep 1 perf_event_open(..., 0) failed unexpectedly with error 13 (Permission denied) [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.007 MB /tmp/perf.data (11 samples) ] Also, ensure the fd of the confirmation check is closed and comment why pid = -1 is used. Needs to go to 3.18 stable tree as well.

The man page for pthread_attr_set_affinity_np states that _GNU_SOURCE must be defined before pthread.h is included in order to get the proper function declaration. Define this in the Makefile. Without this defined, the feature check fails on a Fedora system with gcc5 and then the perf build later fails with conflicting prototypes for the function.

__recover_probed_insn() should always be called from an address where an instructions starts. The check for ftrace_location() might help to discover a potential inconsistency. This patch adds WARN_ON() when the inconsistency is detected. Also it adds handling of the situation when the original code can not get recovered.

can_probe() checks if the given address points to the beginning of an instruction. It analyzes all the instructions from the beginning of the function until the given address. The code might be modified by another Kprobe. In this case, the current code is read into a buffer, int3 breakpoint is replaced by the saved opcode in the buffer, and can_probe() analyzes the buffer instead. There is a bug that __recover_probed_insn() tries to restore the original code even for Kprobes using the ftrace framework. But in this case, the opcode is not stored. See the difference between arch_prepare_kprobe() and arch_prepare_kprobe_ftrace(). The opcode is stored by arch_copy_kprobe() only from arch_prepare_kprobe(). This patch makes Kprobe to use the ideal 5-byte NOP when the code can be modified by ftrace. It is the original instruction, see ftrace_make_nop() and ftrace_nop_replace(). Note that we always need to use the NOP for ftrace locations. Kprobes do not block ftrace and the instruction might get modified at anytime. It might even be in an inconsistent state because it is modified step by step using the int3 breakpoint. The patch also fixes indentation of the touched comment. Note that I found this problem when playing with Kprobes. I did it on x86_64 with gcc-4.8.3 that supported -mfentry. I modified samples/kprobes/kprobe_example.c and added offset 5 to put the probe right after the fentry area: static struct kprobe kp = { .symbol_name = "do_fork", + .offset = 5, }; Then I was able to load kprobe_example before jprobe_example but not the other way around: $> modprobe jprobe_example $> modprobe kprobe_example modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'kprobe_example': Invalid or incomplete multibyte or wide character It did not make much sense and debugging pointed to the bug described above.

Currently, x86 kprobes is unable to boost 2 bytes nop like: nopl 0x0(%rax,%rax,1) which is 0x0f 0x1f 0x44 0x00 0x00. Such nops have exactly 5 bytes to hold a relative jmp instruction. Boosting them should be obviously safe. This patch enable boosting such nops by simply updating twobyte_is_boostable[] array.

Enabled probing of lar, lsl, popcnt, lddqu, prefetch insns. They should be safe to probe, they throw no exceptions. Enabled probing of 3-byte opcodes 0f 38-3f xx - these are vector isns, so should be safe. Enabled probing of many currently undefined 0f xx insns. At the rate new vector instructions are getting added, we don't want to constantly enable more bits. We want to only occasionally *disable* ones which for some reason can't be probed. This includes 0f 24,26 opcodes, which are undefined since Pentium. On 486, they were "mov to/from test register". Explained more fully what 0f 78,79 opcodes are. Explained what 0f ae opcode is. (It's unclear why we don't allow probing it, but let's not change it for now).

This change fixes 1-byte opcode tables so that only insns for which we have real reasons to disallow probing are marked with unset bits. To that end: Set bits for all prefix bytes. Their setting is ignored anyway - we check the bitmap against OPCODE1(insn), not against first byte. Keeping them set to 0 only confuses code reader with "why we don't support that opcode" question. Thus: enable bytes c4,c5 in 64-bit mode (VEX prefixes). Byte 62 (EVEX prefix) is not yet enabled since insn decoder does not support that yet. For 32-bit mode, enable probing of opcodes 63 (arpl) and d6 (salc). They don't require any special handling. For 64-bit mode, disable 9a and ea - these undefined opcodes were mistakenly left enabled.

After adding these, it's clear we have some awkward choices there. Some valid instructions are prohibited from uprobing while several invalid ones are allowed. Hopefully future edits to the good-opcode tables will fix wrong bits or explain why those bits are not wrong. No actual code changes.

There was a bad typo in commit 43759d4f ("random: use an improved fast_mix() function") and I didn't notice because it "looked right", so I saw what I expected to see when I reviewed it. Only months later did I look and notice it's not the Threefish-inspired mix function that I had designed and optimized. Mea Culpa. Each input bit still has a chance to affect each output bit, and the fast pool is spilled *long* before it fills, so it's not a total disaster, but it's definitely not the intended great improvement. I'm still working on finding better rotation constants. These are good enough, but since it's unrolled twice, it's possible to get better mixing for free by using eight different constants rather than repeating the same four.

Merge tag 'trace-fixes-v3.19-rc7' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace Pull ftrace fixes from Steven Rostedt: "During testing Sedat Dilek hit a "suspicious RCU usage" splat that pointed out a real bug. During suspend and resume the tlb_flush tracepoint is called when the CPU is going offline. As the CPU has been noted as offline, RCU is ignoring that CPU, which means that it can not use RCU protected locks. When tracepoints are activated, they require RCU locking, and if RCU is ignoring a CPU that runs a tracepoint, there is a chance that the tracepoint could cause corruption. The solution was to change the tracepoint into a TRACE_EVENT_CONDITION() which allows us to check a condition to determine if the tracepoint should be called or not. If the condition is not met, the rcu protected code will not be executed. By adding the condition "cpu_online(smp_processor_id())", this will prevent the RCU protected code from being executed if the CPU is marked offline. After adding this, another bug was discovered. As RCU checks rcu callers, if a rcu call is not done, there is no check (obviously). We found that tracepoints could be added in RCU ignored locations and not have lockdep complain until the tracepoint is activated. This missed places where tracepoints were added in places they should not have been. To fix this, code was added in 3.18 that if lockdep is enabled, any tracepoint will still call the rcu checks even if the tracepoint is not enabled. The bug here, is that the check does not take the CONDITION into account. As the condition may prevent tracepoints from being activated in RCU ignored areas (as the one patch does), we get false positives when we enable lockdep and hit a tracepoint that the condition prevents it from being called in a RCU ignored location. The fix for this is to add the CONDITION to the rcu checks, even if the tracepoint is not enabled" * tag 'trace-fixes-v3.19-rc7' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace: x86/tlb/trace: Do not trace on CPU that is offline tracing: Add condition check to RCU lockdep checks
