If the set_ftrace_filter is cleared by writing just whitespace to it, then the filter hash refcounts will be decremented but not updated.

A forced undef of a config value was used for testing and was accidently left in during the final commit. This causes x86 to run slower than needed while running function tracing as well as causes the function graph selftest to fail when DYNMAIC_FTRACE is not set. This is because the code in MCOUNT expects the ftrace code to be processed with the config value set that happened to be forced not set. The forced config option was left in by: commit 6331c28c ftrace: Fix dynamic selftest failure on some archs Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20111102150255.GA6973@debian Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Reported-by: Rabin Vincent <rabin@rab.in> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

Fix a bug introduced by e9dbfae5, which prevents event_subsystem from ever being released. Ref_count was added to keep track of subsystem users, not for counting events. Subsystem is created with ref_count = 1, so there is no need to increment it for every event, we have nr_events for that. Fix this by touching ref_count only when we actually have a new user - subsystem_open().

The Satellite C670-10V generates notifications for hotkeys but does not support HCI_SYSTEM_EVENT. As a result when a hotkey is pressed it gets stuck in an infinite loop in toshiba_acpi_notify. To fix this, detect whether or not HCI_SYSTEM_EVENT is supported up-front and don't try to read system events if it isn't supported. In addition, limit the number of retries when reading HCI_SYSTEM_EVENT fails so that this loop cannot run unbounded.

Since we are running in batched mode (lazy) we don't actually set up the PTE mappings and the kmap_atomic is not done synchronously and ends up trying to dereference a page that has not been set. Looking at kmap_atomic_prot_pfn(), it uses 'arch_flush_lazy_mmu_mode' and doing the same in kmap_atomic_prot() and __kunmap_atomic() makes the problem go away. Interestingly, commit b8bcfe99 ("x86/paravirt: remove lazy mode in interrupts") removed part of this to fix an interrupt issue - but it went to far and did not consider this scenario.

Following is from Notes of section 11.5.3 of Intel processor manual available at: http://www.intel.com/Assets/PDF/manual/325384.pdf For the Pentium 4 and Intel Xeon processors, after the sequence of steps given above has been executed, the cache lines containing the code between the end of the WBINVD instruction and before the MTRRS have actually been disabled may be retained in the cache hierarchy. Here, to remove code from the cache completely, a second WBINVD instruction must be executed after the MTRRs have been disabled. This patch provides resolution for that. Ideally, I will like to make changes only for Pentium 4 and Xeon processors. But, I am not finding easier way to do it. And, extra wbinvd() instruction does not hurt much for other processors.

Bjorn Helgaas authored
In commit f8924e77 ("x86: unify mp_bus_info"), the 32-bit and 64-bit versions of MP_bus_info were rearranged to match each other better. Unfortunately it introduced a regression: prior to that change we used to always set the mp_bus_not_pci bit, then clear it if we found a PCI bus. After it, we set mp_bus_not_pci for ISA buses, clear it for PCI buses, and leave it alone otherwise. In the cases of ISA and PCI, there's not much difference. But ISA is not the only non-PCI bus, so it's better to always set mp_bus_not_pci and clear it only for PCI. Without this change, Dan's Dell PowerEdge 4200 panics on boot with a log indicating interrupt routing trouble unless the "noapic" option is supplied. With this change, the machine boots reliably without "noapic".

The kernel stack overflow is checked in stack_overflow_check(), which may wrongly detect the overflow if the stack pointer in user space points to the kernel stack intentionally or accidentally. So, the actual overflow is never detected after this misdetection because WARN_ONCE() is used on the detection of it. This patch adds user-mode-vm checking before it to avoid this problem and bails out early if the user stack is used.

When you do: $ perf record -e cycles,cycles,cycles noploop 10 You expect about 10,000 samples for each event, i.e., 10s at 1000samples/sec. However, this is not what's happening. You get much fewer samples, maybe 3700 samples/event: $ perf report -D | tail -15 Aggregated stats: TOTAL events: 10998 MMAP events: 66 COMM events: 2 SAMPLE events: 10930 cycles stats: TOTAL events: 3644 SAMPLE events: 3644 cycles stats: TOTAL events: 3642 SAMPLE events: 3642 cycles stats: TOTAL events: 3644 SAMPLE events: 3644 On a Intel Nehalem or even AMD64, there are 4 counters capable of measuring cycles, so there is plenty of space to measure those events without multiplexing (even with the NMI watchdog active). And even with multiplexing, we'd expect roughly the same number of samples per event. The root of the problem was that when the event that caused the buffer to become full was not the first event passed on the cmdline, the user notification would get lost. The notification was sent to the file descriptor of the overflowed event but the perf tool was not polling on it. The perf tool aggregates all samples into a single buffer, i.e., the buffer of the first event. Consequently, it assumes notifications for any event will come via that descriptor. The seemingly straight forward solution of moving the waitq into the ringbuffer object doesn't work because of life-time issues. One could perf_event_set_output() on a fd that you're also blocking on and cause the old rb object to be freed while its waitq would still be referenced by the blocked thread -> FAIL. Therefore link all events to the ringbuffer and broadcast the wakeup from the ringbuffer object to all possible events that could be waited upon. This is rather ugly, and we're open to better solutions but it works for now.
