x86: Introduce text_poke_smp_batch() for batch-code modifying
Introduce text_poke_smp_batch(). This function modifies several
text areas with one stop_machine() on SMP. Because calling
stop_machine() is heavy task, it is better to aggregate
text_poke requests.
( Note: I've talked with Rusty about this interface, and
he would not like to expand stop_machine() interface, since
it is not for generic use. )

Unoptimization occurs when a probe is unregistered or disabled,
and is heavy because it recovers instructions by using
stop_machine(). This patch delays unoptimization operations and
unoptimize several probes at once by using
text_poke_smp_batch(). This can avoid unexpected system slowdown
coming from stop_machine().
Changes in v5:
- Split this patch into several cleanup patches and this patch.
- Fix some text_mutex lock miss.
- Use bool instead of int for behavior flags.
- Add additional comment for (un)optimizing path.
Changes in v2:
- Use dynamic allocated buffers and params.
Merge disabling kprobe to unregistering kprobe function
and add comments for disabing/unregistring process.
Current unregistering code disables(disarms) kprobes after
checking target kprobe status. This patch changes it to
disabling kprobe first after that it changing the kprobe's
state. This allows to share probe disabling code between
disable_kprobe() and unregister_kprobe().
Rename irrelevant uses of "old_p" to more appropriate names.
Originally, "old_p" just meant "the old kprobe on given address"
but current code uses that name as "just another kprobe" or
something like that. This patch renames those pointer names
to more appropriate one for maintainability.
This patch adds an option (-x/--field-separator) to print counts using a
CSV-style output. The user can pass a custom separator. This makes it very easy
to import counts directly into your favorite spreadsheet without having to
write scripts.
Example:
$ perf stat --field-separator=, -a -- sleep 1
4009.961740,task-clock-msecs
13,context-switches
2,CPU-migrations
189,page-faults 9596385684,cycles 3493659441,instructions 872897069,branches
41562,branch-misses
22424,cache-references
1289,cache-misses
This second version adds the ability to name a separator and uses
field-separator as the long option to be consistent with perf report.
Commiter note: Since we enabled --big-num by default in 201e0b0 and -x can't be
used with it, we need to notice if the user explicitely enabled or disabled -B,
add code to disable big_num if the user didn't explicitely set --big_num when
-x is used.

perf record: Add option to disable collecting build-ids
Collecting build-ids for long running sessions may take a long time
because it needs to traverse the whole just collected perf.data stream
of events, marking the DSOs that had hits and then looking for the
.note.gnu.build-id ELF section.
For things like the 'trace' tool that records and right away consumes
the data on systems where its unlikely that the DSOs being monitored
will change while 'trace' runs, it is desirable to remove build id
collection, so add a -B/--no-buildid option to perf record to allow such
use case.
Longer term we'll avoid all this if we, at DSO load time, in the kernel,
take advantage of this slow code path to collect the build-id and stash
it somewhere, so that we can insert it in the PERF_RECORD_MMAP event.

x86, perf, nmi: Disable perf if counters are not accessible
In a kvm virt guests, the perf counters are not emulated. Instead they
return zero on a rdmsrl. The perf nmi handler uses the fact that crossing
a zero means the counter overflowed (for those counters that do not have
specific interrupt bits). Therefore on kvm guests, perf will swallow all
NMIs thinking the counters overflowed.
This causes problems for subsystems like kgdb which needs NMIs to do its
magic. This problem was discovered by running kgdb tests.
The solution is to write garbage into a perf counter during the
initialization and hopefully reading back the same number. On kvm
guests, the value will be read back as zero and we disable perf as
a result.

perf stat: Change and clean up sys_perf_event_open error handling
This patch makes several changes to "perf stat":
- "perf stat" will no longer go ahead and run the application when one or
more of the specified events could not be opened.
- Use error() and die() instead of pr_err() so that the output is more
consistent with "perf top" and "perf record".
- Handle permission errors in a more robust way, and in a similar way to
"perf record" and "perf top".
In addition, the sys_perf_event_open() error handling of "perf top" and "perf
record" is made more consistent and adds the following phrase when an event
doesn't open (with something ther than an access or permission error):
"/bin/dmesg may provide additional information."
This is added because kernel code doesn't have a good way of expressing
detailed errors to user space, so its only avenue is to use printk's. However,
many users may not think of looking at dmesg to find out why an event is being
rejected.

It takes fstrim_range structure as an argument. fstrim_range is definec in

start - first Byte to trim
len - number of Bytes to trim from start
minlen - minimum extent length to trim, free extents shorter than this

After the FITRIM is done, the number of actually discarded Bytes is stored

of time. dmesg surprisingly still works. I've bisected the problem
down to this commit (commit 59365d136d205cc20fe666ca7f89b1c5001b0d5a)

that's old. I read the bit in the commit about changing the

help."
So let's just keep the old default, and encourage distributions to do
the "chmod -r /proc/kallsyms" in their bootup scripts. This is not
worth a kernel option to change default behavior, since it's so easily
done in user space.

Tested by building perf:
- Cross-compiled for ARM on x86_64
- Built natively on x86_64
- Built on x86_64 with /usr/include/elfutils moved to another location
and manually included in CFLAGS

perf stat: Add no-aggregation mode to -a
This patch adds a new -A option to perf stat. If specified then perf stat does
not aggregate counts across all monitored CPUs in system-wide mode, i.e., when
using -a. This option is not supported in per-thread mode.
Being able to get a per-cpu breakdown is useful to detect imbalances between
CPUs when running a uniform workload than spans all monitored CPUs.
The second version corrects the missing cpumap[] support, so that it works when
the -C option is used.
The third version fixes a missing cpumap[] in print_counter() and removes a
stray patch in builtin-trace.c.
Examples on a 4-way system:
# perf stat -a -e cycles,instructions -- sleep 1
Performance counter stats for 'sleep 1': 9592808135 cycles 3490380006 instructions # 0.364 IPC

ext4: ext4_fill_super shouldn't return 0 on corruption
At the start of ext4_fill_super, ret is set to -EINVAL, and any failure path
out of that function returns ret. However, the generic_check_addressable

a group checksum error) returns 0 even though the mount should fail. This
causes vfs_kern_mount in turn to think that the mount succeeded, leading to an

drm/i915: Take advantage of auto-polling CRT hotplug detection on PCH hardware
Both IBX and CPT have an automatic hotplug detection mode which appears to work reliably enough
that we can dispense with the manual force hotplug trigger stuff. This means that
hotplug detection is as simple as reading the current hotplug register values.
The first time the hotplug detection is activated, the code synchronously waits for a hotplug
sequence in case the hardware hasn't bothered to do a detection cycle since being initialized.

drm/i915: Do not hold mutex when faulting in user addresses
Linus Torvalds found that it was rather trivial to trigger a system
freeze:
In fact, with lockdep, I don't even need to do the sysrq-d thing: it
shows the bug as it happens. It's the X server taking the same lock
recursively.
Here's the problem:
=============================================
[ INFO: possible recursive locking detected ] 2.6.37-rc2-00012-gbdbd01a #7
---------------------------------------------
Xorg/2816 is trying to acquire lock:
(&dev->struct_mutex){+.+.+.}, at: [<ffffffff812c626c>] i915_gem_fault+0x50/0x17e
but task is already holding lock:
(&dev->struct_mutex){+.+.+.}, at: [<ffffffff812c403b>] i915_mutex_lock_interruptible+0x28/0x4a
other info that might help us debug this:
2 locks held by Xorg/2816:
#0: (&dev->struct_mutex){+.+.+.}, at: [<ffffffff812c403b>] i915_mutex_lock_interruptible+0x28/0x4a
#1: (&mm->mmap_sem){++++++}, at: [<ffffffff81022d4f>] page_fault+0x156/0x37b
This recursion was introduced by rearranging the locking to avoid the
double locking on the fast path (4f27b5d and fbd5a26d) and the
introduction of the prefault to encourage the fast paths (b5e4f2b). In
order to undo the problem, we rearrange the code to perform the access
validation upfront, attempt to prefault and then fight for control of the
mutex. the best case scenario where the mutex is uncontended the
prefaulting is not wasted.
