Add the new MMF_HAS_UPROBES flag. It is set by install_breakpoint() and it is copied by dup_mmap(), uprobe_pre_sstep_notifier() checks it to avoid the slow path if the task was never probed. Perhaps it makes sense to check it in valid_vma(is_register => false) as well. This needs the new dup_mmap()->uprobe_dup_mmap() hook. We can't use uprobe_reset_state() or put MMF_HAS_UPROBES into MMF_INIT_MASK, we need oldmm->mmap_sem to avoid the race with uprobe_register() or mmap() from another thread. Currently we never clear this bit, it can be false-positive after uprobe_unregister() or uprobe_munmap() or if dup_mmap() hits the probed VM_DONTCOPY vma. But this is fine correctness-wise and has no effect unless the task hits the non-uprobe breakpoint.

Once install_breakpoint() fails uprobe_mmap() "ignores" all other uprobes and returns the error. It was never really needed to to stop after the first error, and in fact it was always wrong at least in -ENOTSUPP case. Change uprobe_mmap() to ignore the errors and always return 0. This is not what we want in the long term, but until we teach the callers to handle the failure it would be better to remove the pointless complications. And this doesn't look too bad, the only "reasonable" error is ENOMEM but in this case the caller should be oom-killed in the likely case or the system has more serious problems. However it makes sense to stop if fatal_signal_pending() == T. In particular this helps if the task was oom-killed.

1. Kill dup_mmap()->uprobe_mmap(), it was only needed to calculate new_mm->uprobes_state.count removed by the previous patch. If the forking process has a pending uprobe (int3) in vma, it will be copied by copy_page_range(), note that it checks vma->anon_vma so "Don't copy ptes" is not possible after install_breakpoint() which does anon_vma_prepare(). 2. Remove is_swbp_at_addr() and "int count" in uprobe_mmap(). Again, this was needed for uprobes_state.count. As a side effect this fixes the bug pointed out by Srikar, this code lacked the necessary put_uprobe(). 3. uprobe_munmap() becomes a nop after the previous patch. Remove the meaningless code but do not remove the helper, we will need it. Signed-off-by: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com> Acked-by: Srikar Dronamraju <srikar@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

uprobes_state->count is only needed to avoid the slow path in uprobe_pre_sstep_notifier(). It is also checked in uprobe_munmap() but ironically its only goal to decrement this counter. However, it is very broken. Just some examples: - uprobe_mmap() can race with uprobe_unregister() and wrongly increment the counter if it hits the non-uprobe "int3". Note that install_breakpoint() checks ->consumers first and returns -EEXIST if it is NULL. "atomic_sub() if error" in uprobe_mmap() looks obviously wrong too. - uprobe_munmap() can race with uprobe_register() and wrongly decrement the counter by the same reason. - Suppose an appication tries to increase the mmapped area via sys_mremap(). vma_adjust() does uprobe_munmap(whole_vma) first, this can nullify the counter temporarily and race with another thread which can hit the bp, the application will be killed by SIGTRAP. - Suppose an application mmaps 2 consecutive areas in the same file and one (or both) of these areas has uprobes. In the likely case mmap_region()->vma_merge() suceeds. Like above, this leads to uprobe_munmap/uprobe_mmap from vma_merge()->vma_adjust() but then mmap_region() does another uprobe_mmap(resulting_vma) and doubles the counter. This patch only removes this counter and fixes the compile errors, then we will try to cleanup the changed code and add something else instead.

Under certain workloads we see the following warnings: WQ on CPU0, prefer CPU1 WQ on CPU0, prefer CPU2 WQ on CPU0, prefer CPU3 It warns the user that the wq to access a per-cpu buffers runs not on the same cpu. This happens if the wq is rescheduled on a different cpu than where the buffer is located. This was probably implemented to detect performance issues. Not sure if there actually is one as the buffers are copied to a single buffer anyway which should be the actual bottleneck. We wont change WQ implementation. Since a user can do nothing the warning is pointless. Removing it. Cc: Andi Kleen <andi@firstfloor.org> Signed-off-by: Robert Richter <robert.richter@amd.com>

The following patch makes the microcode update code path actually invoke the perf_check_microcode() function and thus potentially renabling SNB PEBS. By default, CONFIG_MICROCODE_OLD_INTERFACE is forced to Y in arch/x86/Kconfig. There is no way to disable this. That means that the code path used in arch/x86/kernel/microcode_core.c did not include the call to perf_check_microcode(). Thus, even though the microcode was updated to a version that fixes the SNB PEBS problem, perf_event would still return EOPNOTSUPP when enabling precise sampling. This patch simply adds a call to perf_check_microcode() in the call path used when OLD_INTERFACE=y.

For certain speculative events on Power7, 'perf stat' reports far higher event count than 'perf record' for the same event. As described in following commit, a performance monitor exception is raised even when the the performance events are rolled back. commit 0837e324 Author: Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org> Date: Wed Mar 9 14:38:42 2011 +1100 perf_event_interrupt() records an event only when an overflow occurs. But this check for overflow is a simple 'if (val < 0)'. Because the events are rolled back, this check for overflow fails and the event is not recorded. perf_event_interrupt() later uses pmc_overflow() to detect the overflow and resets the counters and the events are lost completely. To properly detect the overflow of rolled back events, use pmc_overflow() even when recording events. To reproduce: $ cat strcpy.c #include <stdio.h> #include <string.h> main() { char buf[256]; alarm(5); while(1) strcpy(buf, "string1"); } $ perf record -e r20014 ./strcpy $ perf report -n > report.1 $ perf stat -e r20014 > report.2 # Compare report.1 and report.2 Reported-by: Maynard Johnson <mpjohn@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Sukadev Bhattiprolu <sukadev@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

For powerpc BooKE and e200, singlestep is handled on the critical/dbg exception stack. This causes current_thread_info() to fail for kgdb internal, so previously We work around this issue by copying the thread_info from the kernel stack before calling kgdb_handle_exception, and copying it back afterwards. But actually we don't do this properly. We should backup current_thread_info then restore that when exit.
