The sysfs events group attribute currently shows all hw events, including also undefined ones. This patch filters out all undefined events out of the sysfs events group attribute, so they don't even show up. Suggested-by:

Add support to display hardware events translations available through the sysfs. Add 'events' group attribute under the sysfs x86 PMU record with attribute/file for each hardware event. This patch adds only backbone for PMUs to display config under 'events' directory. The specific PMU support itself will come in next patches, however this is how the sysfs group will look like: # ls /sys/devices/cpu/events/ branch-instructions branch-misses bus-cycles cache-misses cache-references cpu-cycles instructions ref-cycles stalled-cycles-backend stalled-cycles-frontend The file - hw event ID mapping is: file hw event ID --------------------------------------------------------------- cpu-cycles PERF_COUNT_HW_CPU_CYCLES instructions PERF_COUNT_HW_INSTRUCTIONS cache-references PERF_COUNT_HW_CACHE_REFERENCES cache-misses PERF_COUNT_HW_CACHE_MISSES branch-instructions PERF_COUNT_HW_BRANCH_INSTRUCTIONS branch-misses PERF_COUNT_HW_BRANCH_MISSES bus-cycles PERF_COUNT_HW_BUS_CYCLES stalled-cycles-frontend PERF_COUNT_HW_STALLED_CYCLES_FRONTEND stalled-cycles-backend PERF_COUNT_HW_STALLED_CYCLES_BACKEND ref-cycles PERF_COUNT_HW_REF_CPU_CYCLES Each file in the 'events' directory contains the term translation for the symbolic hw event for the currently running cpu model. # cat /sys/devices/cpu/events/stalled-cycles-backend event=0xb1,umask=0x01,inv,cmask=0x01 Suggested-by:

In check_hw_exists() we try to detect non-emulated MSR accesses by writing an arbitrary value into one of the PMU registers and check if it's value after a readout is still the same. This algorithm silently assumes that the register does not contain the magic value already, which is wrong in at least one situation. Fix the algorithm to really do a read-modify-write cycle. This fixes a warning under Xen under some circumstances on AMD family 10h CPUs. The reasons in more details actually sound like a story from Believe It or Not!: First you need an AMD family 10h/12h CPU. These do not reset the PERF_CTR registers on a reboot. Now you boot bare metal Linux, which goes successfully through this check, but leaves the magic value of 0xabcd in the register. You don't use the performance counters, but do a reboot (warm reset). Then you choose to boot Xen. The check will be triggered with a recent Linux kernel as Dom0 again, trying to write 0xabcd into the MSR. Xen silently drops the write (expected), but the subsequent read will return the value in the register, which just happens to be the expected magic value. Thus the test misleadingly succeeds, leaving the kernel in the belief that the PMU is available. This will trigger the following message: [ 0.020294] ------------[ cut here ]------------ [ 0.020311] WARNING: at arch/x86/xen/enlighten.c:730 xen_apic_write+0x15/0x17() [ 0.020318] Hardware name: empty [ 0.020323] Modules linked in: [ 0.020334] Pid: 1, comm: swapper/0 Not tainted 3.3.8 #7 [ 0.020340] Call Trace: [ 0.020354] [<ffffffff81050379>] warn_slowpath_common+0x80/0x98 [ 0.020369] [<ffffffff810503a6>] warn_slowpath_null+0x15/0x17 [ 0.020378] [<ffffffff810034df>] xen_apic_write+0x15/0x17 [ 0.020392] [<ffffffff8101cb2b>] perf_events_lapic_init+0x2e/0x30 [ 0.020410] [<ffffffff81ee4dd0>] init_hw_perf_events+0x250/0x407 [ 0.020419] [<ffffffff81ee4b80>] ? check_bugs+0x2d/0x2d [ 0.020430] [<ffffffff81002181>] do_one_initcall+0x7a/0x131 [ 0.020444] [<ffffffff81edbbf9>] kernel_init+0x91/0x15d [ 0.020456] [<ffffffff817caaa4>] kernel_thread_helper+0x4/0x10 [ 0.020471] [<ffffffff817c347c>] ? retint_restore_args+0x5/0x6 [ 0.020481] [<ffffffff817caaa0>] ? gs_change+0x13/0x13 [ 0.020500] ---[ end trace a7919e7f17c0a725 ]--- The new code will change every of the 16 low bits read from the register and tries to write and read-back that modified number from the MSR.

Since we were assuming a COMM always meant an EXEC, we were losing track of a process maps by flushing its maps. Fix from Luigi Semenzato. * A recent patch introduced a problem by not initializing what should be the first kind of pager to use, 'man', instead it was being left as zero which means no pager. This caused 'perf subcmd --help' to produce no output. Fix from Namhyung Kim. Signed-off-by:

The tile tool chain uses the .eh_frame information for backtracing. The vmlinux build drops any .eh_frame sections at link time, but when present in kernel modules, it causes a module load failure due to the presence of unsupported pc-relative relocations. When compiling to use compiler feedback support, the compiler by default omits .eh_frame information, so we don't see this problem. But when not using feedback, we need to explicitly suppress the .eh_frame. Signed-off-by: -

In theory, that function could release the lru lock between checking for bo on ddestroy list and a successful reserve if the bo was already reserved, and the function was called with waiting reserves allowed. However, all current reservers of a bo on the ddestroy list would atomically take the bo off the list after a successful reserve so this race should not have been hit, so no need to backport for stable. This patch also fixes a case found by Maarten Lankhorst where ttm_mem_evict_first called with no_wait_gpu would incorrectly spin waiting for bo idle if trying to evict a busy buffer that also sits on the ddestroy list.

This fixes a long-standing bug caused by the lack of separate COMM and EXEC record types, which makes "perf report" lose track of symbols when a process renames itself. With this fix (suggested by Stephane Eranian), a COMM (rename) no longer flushes the maps, which is the correct behavior. An EXEC also no longer flushes the maps, but this doesn't matter because as new mappings are created (for the executable and the libraries) the old mappings are automatically removed. This is not by accident: the functionality is necessary because DLLs can be explicitly loaded at any time with dlopen(), possibly on top of existing text, so "perf report" handles correctly the clobbering of new mappings on top of old ones. An alternative patch (which I proposed earlier) would be to introduce a separate PERF_RECORD_EXEC type, but it is a much larger change (about 300 lines) and is not necessary. Signed-off-by:

Commit 7f8d4cad ("Input: extend the number of event (and other) devices") made evdev, joydev and mousedev to embed struct cdev into their respective structures representing input devices. Unfortunately character device structure may outlive the parent structure unless we do not set it up as parent of character device so that it will stay pinned until character device is freed. Also, now that parent structure is pinned while character device exists we do not need to pin and unpin it every time user opens or closes it. Reported-by:
