perf stat: Add support for --initial-delay option
When measuring workloads the startup phase -- doing page faults, dynamic
linking, opening files -- is often very different from the rest of the
workload. Especially with smaller kernels and using counter
multiplexing this can give significant measurement errors.
Multiplexing assumes that the workload is mostly the same over longer
periods. But at startup there is typically some spike of activity which
is relatively short. If many groups are multiplexing the one group
seeing the spike, and which is then scaled up over the time to run all
groups, may see a significant error.
Also in general it's often not useful to measure the startup, because it
is so different from the rest.
One way around this is to use interval mode and discard the first
sample, but this can be awkward because interval mode doesn't support
intervals of less than 100ms, and also a useful interval is not
necessarily the same as a useful startup delay.
This patch adds a new --initial-delay / -D option to skip measuring for
the startup phase. The time can be specified in ms
Here's a simple example:
perf stat -e page-faults bash -c 'for i in $(seq 100000) ; do true ; done'
...
3,721 page-faults
...
If we just wait 20 ms the number of page faults is 1/3 less:
perf stat -D 20 -e page-faults bash -c 'for i in $(seq 100000) ; do true ; done'
...
2,823 page-faults
...
So we filtered out most of the startup noise from bash.

Adding 'S' event/group modifier to specify that the event value/s are

There's additional behaviour change for 'S' modifier being specified on

Currently all the events within a group makes samples. If user now
specifies 'S' within group modifier, only the leader will trigger

This prevents the tick from being stopped as long as features
such that the lockup detectors are running. As a temporary fix,
the lockup detector is disabled by default when full dynticks
is built but this is not a long term viable solution.
To fix this, only keep the tick alive when an event configured
with a frequency rather than a period is running on the CPU,
or when an event throttles on the CPU.
These are the only purposes of the perf tick, especially now that
the rotation of flexible events is handled from a seperate hrtimer.

In case of allocation failure, get_callchain_buffer() keeps the
refcount incremented for the current event.
As a result, when get_callchain_buffers() returns an error,
we must cleanup what it did by cancelling its last refcount
with a call to put_callchain_buffers().
This is a hack in order to be able to call free_event()
after that failure.
The original purpose of that was to simplify the failure
path. But this error handling is actually counter intuitive,
ugly and not very easy to follow because one expect to
see the resources used to perform a service to be cleaned
by the callee if case of failure, not by the caller.

sched: Implement smarter wake-affine logic
The wake-affine scheduler feature is currently always trying to pull
the wakee close to the waker. In theory this should be beneficial if
the waker's CPU caches hot data for the wakee, and it's also beneficial
in the extreme ping-pong high context switch rate case.
Testing shows it can benefit hackbench up to 15%.
However, the feature is somewhat blind, from which some workloads
such as pgbench suffer. It's also time-consuming algorithmically.
Testing shows it can damage pgbench up to 50% - far more than the
benefit it brings in the best case.
So wake-affine should be smarter and it should realize when to
stop its thankless effort at trying to find a suitable CPU to wake on.
This patch introduces 'wakee_flips', which will be increased each
time the task flips (switches) its wakee target.
So a high 'wakee_flips' value means the task has more than one
wakee, and the bigger the number, the higher the wakeup frequency.
Now when making the decision on whether to pull or not, pay attention to
the wakee with a high 'wakee_flips', pulling such a task may benefit
the wakee. Also imply that the waker will face cruel competition later,
it could be very cruel or very fast depends on the story behind
'wakee_flips', waker therefore suffers.
Furthermore, if waker also has a high 'wakee_flips', that implies that
multiple tasks rely on it, then waker's higher latency will damage all
of them, so pulling wakee seems to be a bad deal.
Thus, when 'waker->wakee_flips / wakee->wakee_flips' becomes
higher and higher, the cost of pulling seems to be worse and worse.
The patch therefore helps the wake-affine feature to stop its pulling
work when:
The 'factor' here is the number of CPUs in the current CPU's NUMA node,
so a bigger node will lead to more pulling since the trial becomes more
severe.
After applying the patch, pgbench shows up to 40% improvements and no regressions.
Tested with 12 cpu x86 server and tip 3.10.0-rc7.

sched: Move h_load calculation to task_h_load()
The bad thing about update_h_load(), which computes hierarchical load
factor for task groups, is that it is called for each task group in the
system before every load balancer run, and since rebalance can be
triggered very often, this function can eat really a lot of cpu time if
there are many cpu cgroups in the system.
Although the situation was improved significantly by commit a35b646
('sched, cgroup: Reduce rq->lock hold times for large cgroup
hierarchies'), the problem still can arise under some kinds of loads,
e.g. when cpus are switching from idle to busy and back very frequently.
For instance, when I start 1000 of processes that wake up every
millisecond on my 8 cpus host, 'top' and 'perf top' show:
Then if I create 10000 *idle* cpu cgroups (no processes in them), cpu
usage increases significantly although the 'wakers' are still executing
in the root cpu cgroup:
This happens because this particular kind of load triggers 'new idle'
rebalance very frequently, which requires calling update_h_load(),
which, in turn, calls tg_load_down() for every *idle* cpu cgroup even
though it is absolutely useless, because idle cpu cgroups have no tasks
to pull.
This patch tries to improve the situation by making h_load calculation
proceed only when h_load is really necessary. To achieve this, it
substitutes update_h_load() with update_cfs_rq_h_load(), which computes
h_load only for a given cfs_rq and all its ascendants, and makes the
load balancer call this function whenever it considers if a task should
be pulled, i.e. it moves h_load calculations directly to task_h_load().
For h_load of the same cfs_rq not to be updated multiple times (in case
several tasks in the same cgroup are considered during the same balance
run), the patch keeps the time of the last h_load update for each cfs_rq
and breaks calculation when it finds h_load to be uptodate.
The benefit of it is that h_load is computed only for those cfs_rq's,
which really need it, in particular all idle task groups are skipped.
Although this, in fact, moves h_load calculation under rq lock, it
should not affect latency much, because the amount of work done under rq
lock while trying to pull tasks is limited by sched_nr_migrate.
After the patch applied with the setup described above (1000 wakers in
the root cgroup and 10000 idle cgroups), I get:

perf tools: Support callchain sorting based on addresses
With programs with very large functions it can be useful to distinguish
the callgraph nodes on more than just function names. So for example if
you have multiple calls to the same function, it ends up being separate
nodes in the chain.
This patch adds a new key field to the callgraph options, that allows
comparing nodes on functions (as today, default) and addresses.
Longer term it would be nice to also handle src lines, but that would
need more changes and address is a reasonable proxy for it today.
I right now reference the global params, as there was no simple way to
register a params pointer.
The glibc calloc() function has an optimization to not explicitely
memset() very large calloc allocations that just came from mmap(),
because they are known to be zero.
This could result in the perf memcpy benchmark reading only from
the zero page, which gives unrealistic results.
Always call memset explicitly on the source area to avoid this problem.

pkt_sched: sch_qfq: remove a source of high packet delay/jitter
QFQ+ inherits from QFQ a design choice that may cause a high packet
delay/jitter and a severe short-term unfairness. As QFQ, QFQ+ uses a
special quantity, the system virtual time, to track the service
provided by the ideal system it approximates. When a packet is
dequeued, this quantity must be incremented by the size of the packet,
divided by the sum of the weights of the aggregates waiting to be
served. Tracking this sum correctly is a non-trivial task, because, to
preserve tight service guarantees, the decrement of this sum must be
delayed in a special way [1]: this sum can be decremented only after
that its value would decrease also in the ideal system approximated by
QFQ+. For efficiency, QFQ+ keeps track only of the 'instantaneous'
weight sum, increased and decreased immediately as the weight of an
aggregate changes, and as an aggregate is created or destroyed (which,
in its turn, happens as a consequence of some class being
created/destroyed/changed). However, to avoid the problems caused to
service guarantees by these immediate decreases, QFQ+ increments the
system virtual time using the maximum value allowed for the weight
sum, 2^10, in place of the dynamic, instantaneous value. The
instantaneous value of the weight sum is used only to check whether a
request of weight increase or a class creation can be satisfied.
Unfortunately, the problems caused by this choice are worse than the
temporary degradation of the service guarantees that may occur, when a
class is changed or destroyed, if the instantaneous value of the
weight sum was used to update the system virtual time. In fact, the
fraction of the link bandwidth guaranteed by QFQ+ to each aggregate is
equal to the ratio between the weight of the aggregate and the sum of
the weights of the competing aggregates. The packet delay guaranteed
to the aggregate is instead inversely proportional to the guaranteed
bandwidth. By using the maximum possible value, and not the actual
value of the weight sum, QFQ+ provides each aggregate with the worst
possible service guarantees, and not with service guarantees related
to the actual set of competing aggregates. To see the consequences of
this fact, consider the following simple example.
Suppose that only the following aggregates are backlogged, i.e., that
only the classes in the following aggregates have packets to transmit:
one aggregate with weight 10, say A, and ten aggregates with weight 1,
say B1, B2, ..., B10. In particular, suppose that these aggregates are
always backlogged. Given the weight distribution, the smoothest and
fairest service order would be:
A B1 A B2 A B3 A B4 A B5 A B6 A B7 A B8 A B9 A B10 A B1 A B2 ...
QFQ+ would provide exactly this optimal service if it used the actual
value for the weight sum instead of the maximum possible value, i.e.,
11 instead of 2^10. In contrast, since QFQ+ uses the latter value, it
serves aggregates as follows (easy to prove and to reproduce
experimentally):
A B1 B2 B3 B4 B5 B6 B7 B8 B9 B10 A A A A A A A A A A B1 B2 ... B10 A A ...
By replacing 10 with N in the above example, and by increasing N, one
can increase at will the maximum packet delay and the jitter
experienced by the classes in aggregate A.
This patch addresses this issue by just using the above
'instantaneous' value of the weight sum, instead of the maximum
possible value, when updating the system virtual time. After the
instantaneous weight sum is decreased, QFQ+ may deviate from the ideal
service for a time interval in the order of the time to serve one
maximum-size packet for each backlogged class. The worst-case extent
of the deviation exhibited by QFQ+ during this time interval [1] is
basically the same as of the deviation described above (but, without
this patch, QFQ+ suffers from such a deviation all the time). Finally,
this patch modifies the comment to the function qfq_slot_insert, to
make it coherent with the fact that the weight sum used by QFQ+ can
now be lower than the maximum possible value.

md/raid1: fix bio handling problems in process_checks()
Recent change to use bio_copy_data() in raid1 when repairing
an array is faulty.
The underlying may have changed the bio in various ways using
bio_advance and these need to be undone not just for the 'sbio' which
is being copied to, but also the 'pbio' (primary) which is being
copied from.
So perform the reset on all bios that were read from and do it early.
This also ensure that the sbio->bi_io_vec[j].bv_len passed to
memcmp is correct.
This fixes a crash during a 'check' of a RAID1 array. The crash was
introduced in 3.10 so this is suitable for 3.10-stable.

allowed a bit more than just that. It also allows devices to be added
to a read-write array and to end up skipping recovery.
This patch removes the offending piece of code pending a rewrite for a
subsequent release.
More specifically:
If the array has a bitmap, then the device will still need a bitmap
based resync ('saved_raid_disk' is set under different conditions
is a bitmap is present).
If the array doesn't have a bitmap, then this is correct as long as
nothing has been written to the array since the metadata was checked
by ->validate_super. However there is no locking to ensure that there
was no write.
Bug was introduced in 3.10 and causes data corruption so
patch is suitable for 3.10-stable.

1/ When an different between blocks is found, data is copied from
one bio to the other. However bv_len is used as the length to
copy and this could be zero. So use r10_bio->sectors to calculate
length instead.
Using bv_len was probably always a bit dubious, but the introduction
of bio_advance made it much more likely to be a problem.
2/ When preparing some blocks for sync, we don't set BIO_UPTODATE
except on bios that we schedule for a read. This ensures that
missing/failed devices don't confuse the loop at the top of
sync_request write.
Commit 8be185f2c9d54d6 "raid10: Use bio_reset()"
removed a loop which set BIO_UPTDATE on all appropriate bios.
So we need to re-add that flag.
These bugs were introduced in 3.10, so this patch is suitable for
3.10-stable, and can remove a potential for data corruption.

drm/radeon/dpm: add debugfs support for RS780/RS880 (v3)
This allows you to look at the current DPM state via
debugfs.
Due to the way the hardware works on these asics, there's
no way to look up exactly what power state we are in, so
we make the best guess we can based on the current sclk.
v2: Anthoine's version
v3: fix ref div

xen-netfront: pull on receive skb may need to happen earlier
Due to commit 3683243b ("xen-netfront: use __pskb_pull_tail to ensure
linear area is big enough on RX") xennet_fill_frags() may end up
filling MAX_SKB_FRAGS + 1 fragments in a receive skb, and only reduce
the fragment count subsequently via __pskb_pull_tail(). That's a
result of xennet_get_responses() allowing a maximum of one more slot to
be consumed (and intermediately transformed into a fragment) if the
head slot has a size less than or equal to RX_COPY_THRESHOLD.
Hence we need to adjust xennet_fill_frags() to pull earlier if we
reached the maximum fragment count - due to the described behavior of
xennet_get_responses() this guarantees that at least the first fragment
will get completely consumed, and hence the fragment count reduced.
In order to not needlessly call __pskb_pull_tail() twice, make the
original call conditional upon the pull target not having been reached
yet, and defer the newly added one as much as possible (an alternative
would have been to always call the function right before the call to
xennet_fill_frags(), but that would imply more frequent cases of
needing to call it twice).

The socket management is now done in workqueue (outside of RTNL)
and protected by vn->sock_lock. There were two possible bugs, first
the vxlan device was removed from the VNI hash table per socket without
holding lock. And there was a race when device is created and the workqueue
could run after deletion.

perf symbols: Do not apply symfs for an absolute vmlinux path
If an user gives both of --symfs and --vmlinux option, the vmlinux will
be searched under the symfs directory. This is somewhat confusing since
vmlinux often lives in kernel build directory or somewhere other than
user space binaries.
So it'd be better not adding symfs prefix for a vmlinux if it has an
absolute pathname.

We've got bug reports that the module loading stuck on Debian system
with 3.10 kernel. The debugging session revealed that the initial
registration of OSS sequencer clients stuck at module loading time,
which involves again with request_module() at the init phase. This is
triggered only by special --install stuff Debian is using, but it's
still not good to have such loops.
As a workaround, call the registration part asynchronously. This is a
better approach irrespective of the hang fix, in anyway.
SG mode is not currently supported by netvsc, so remove this flag for now.
Otherwise, it will be unconditionally enabled by commit ec5f0615642
"Kill link between CSUM and SG features"
Previously, the SG feature is disabled because CSUM is not set here.

linked-list: Remove __list_for_each
__list_for_each used to be the non prefetch() aware list walking
primitive. When we removed the prefetch macros from the list routines,
it became redundant. Given it does exactly the same thing as
list_for_each now, we might as well remove it and call list_for_each
directly.
All users of __list_for_each have been converted to list_for_each calls
in the current merge window.

Introduce a method for run-time instruction patching on a live SMP kernel
based on int3 breakpoint, completely avoiding the need for stop_machine().
The way this is achieved:
- add a int3 trap to the address that will be patched
- sync cores
- update all but the first byte of the patched range
- sync cores
- replace the first byte (int3) by the first byte of
replacing opcode
- sync cores
synchronization after replacing "all but first" instructions should not
be necessary (on Intel hardware), as the syncing after the subsequent
patching of the first byte provides enough safety.
But there's not only Intel HW out there, and we'd rather be on a safe
side.
If any CPU instruction execution would collide with the patching,
it'd be trapped by the int3 breakpoint and redirected to the provided
"handler" (which would typically mean just skipping over the patched
region, acting as "nop" has been there, in case we are doing nop -> jump
and jump -> nop transitions).
Ftrace has been using this very technique since 08d636b ("ftrace/x86:
Have arch x86_64 use breakpoints instead of stop machine") for ages
already, and jump labels are another obvious potential user of this.
