tools lib traceevent: Use helper trace-seq in print functions like kernel does
Jiri Olsa reported that his plugin for scsi was chopping off part of the
output. Investigating this, I found that Jiri used the same functions as
what is in the kernel, which adds the following:
trace_seq_putc(p, 0);
This adds a '\0' to the output string. The reason this works in the
kernel is that the "p" that is passed to the function helper is a
temporary trace_seq. But in the libtraceevent library, it's the pointer
to the trace_seq used to output. By adding the '\0', it truncates the
line and nothing added after that will be printed.
We can solve this in two ways. One is to have the helper functions for
the library not add the unnecessary '\0'. The other is to change the
library to also use a helper trace_seq structure that gets copied to the
main trace_seq just like the kernel does.
The latter allows the helper functions in the plugins to be the same as
the kernel, which is the better solution.

perf/x86: Add Intel RAPL PMU support
This patch adds a new uncore PMU to expose the Intel
RAPL energy consumption counters. Up to 3 counters,
each counting a particular RAPL event are exposed.
The RAPL counters are available on Intel SandyBridge,
IvyBridge, Haswell. The server skus add a 3rd counter.
The following events are available and exposed in sysfs:
- power/energy-cores: power consumption of all cores on socket
- power/energy-pkg: power consumption of all cores + LLc cache
- power/energy-dram: power consumption of DRAM (servers only)
For each event both the unit (Joules) and scale (2^-32 J)
is exposed in sysfs for use by perf stat and other tools.
The files are:
The RAPL PMU is uncore by nature and is implemented such
that it only works in system-wide mode. Measuring only
one CPU per socket is sufficient. The /sys/devices/power/cpumask
file can be used by tools to figure out which CPUs to monitor
by default. For instance, on a 2-socket system, 2 CPUs
(one on each socket) will be shown.
All the counters measure in the same unit (exposed via sysfs).
The perf_events API exposes all RAPL counters as 64-bit integers
counting in unit of 1/2^32 Joules (about 0.23 nJ). User level tools
must convert the counts by multiplying them by 2^-32 to obtain
Joules. The reason for this is that the kernel avoids
doing floating point math whenever possible because it is
expensive (user floating-point state must be saved). The method
used avoids kernel floating-point usage. There is no loss of
precision. Thanks to PeterZ for suggesting this approach.
To convert the raw count in Watt:
W = C * 2.3 / (1e10 * time)
or ldexp(C, -32).
RAPL PMU is a new standalone PMU which registers with the
perf_event core subsystem. The PMU type (attr->type) is
dynamically allocated and is available from /sys/device/power/type.
Sampling is not supported by the RAPL PMU. There is no
privilege level filtering either.
This patch modifies the pmu event alias code to check
for the presence of the .unit and .scale files to load
the corresponding values. They are then used by perf stat
transparently:
# perf stat -a -e power/energy-pkg/,power/energy-cores/,cycles -I 1000 sleep 1000
# time counts unit events
1.000214717 3.07 Joules power/energy-pkg/ [100.00%]
1.000214717 0.53 Joules power/energy-cores/
1.00021471712965028 cycles [100.00%]

2.000749289 0.52 Joules power/energy-cores/
2.00074928915817043 cycles
When the event does not have an explicit unit exported by
the kernel, nothing is printed. In csv output mode, there
will be an empty field.
Special thanks to Jiri for providing the supporting code
in the parser to trigger reading of the scale and unit files.

known size. Remove this unnecessary dependency, we can use "&" and
and sizeof() with the same effect.
uprobe_task->vaddr is a bit strange. The generic code uses it only
to pass the additional argument to arch_uprobe_pre_xol(), and since
it is always equal to instruction_pointer() this looks even more
strange.
And both utask->vaddr and and utask->autask have the same scope,
they only have the meaning when the task executes the probed insn
out-of-line, so it is safe to reuse both in UTASK_RUNNING state.
This all means that logically ->vaddr belongs to arch_uprobe_task
and we should probably move it there, arch_uprobe_pre_xol() can
record instruction_pointer() itself.
OTOH, it is also used by uprobe_copy_process() and dup_xol_work()
for another purpose, this doesn't look clean and doesn't allow to
move this member into arch_uprobe_task.
This patch adds the union with 2 anonymous structs into uprobe_task.
The first struct is autask + vaddr, this way we "almost" move vaddr
into autask.
The second struct has 2 new members for uprobe_copy_process() paths:
->dup_xol_addr which can be used instead ->vaddr, and ->dup_xol_work
which can be used to avoid kmalloc() and simplify the code.
Note that this union will likely have another member(s), we need
something like "private_data_for_handlers" so that the tracing
handlers could use it to communicate with call_fetch() methods.

perf header: Fix possible memory leaks in process_group_desc()
After processing all group descriptors or encountering an error, it
frees all descriptors. However, current logic can leak memory since it
might not traverse all descriptors.
Note that the 'i' can have different value than nr_groups when an error
occurred and it's safe to call free(desc[i].name) for every desc since
we already make it NULL when it's reused for group names.

watchdog: Get rid of MODULE_ALIAS_MISCDEV statements
I just can't find any value in MODULE_ALIAS_MISCDEV(WATCHDOG_MINOR)
and MODULE_ALIAS_MISCDEV(TEMP_MINOR) statements.
Either the device is enumerated and the driver already has a module
alias (e.g. PCI, USB etc.) that will get the right driver loaded
automatically.
Or the device is not enumerated and loading its driver will lead to
more or less intrusive hardware poking. Such hardware poking should be
limited to a bare minimum, so the user should really decide which
drivers should be tried and in what order. Trying them all in
arbitrary order can't do any good.
On top of that, loading that many drivers at once bloats the kernel
log. Also many drivers will stay loaded afterward, bloating the output
of "lsmod" and wasting memory. Some modules (cs5535_mfgpt which gets
loaded as a dependency) can't even be unloaded!
If defining char-major-10-130 is needed then it should happen in
user-space.
