have a kernel that has no kernel modules. The perf kvm record tool
fails instantiate vmlinux maps when the kernel modules directory cannot

leads to a perf kvm report that has no guest symbols resolved.

This commit adds support for a new modifier "D", which requests that the
event, or group of events, be pinned to the PMU.
The "p" modifier is already taken for precise, and "P" may be used in
future to mean "fully precise".
So we use "D", which stands for pinneD - and looks like a padlock, or if
you're using the ":D" syntax perf smiles at you.
This is an oft-requested feature from our HW folks, who want to be able
to run a large number of events, but also want 100% accurate results for
instructions per cycle.
Comparison of results with and without pinning:
$ perf stat -e '{cycles,instructions}:D' -e cycles,instructions,...
79,590,480,683 cycles # 0.000 GHz
166,123,716,524 instructions # 2.09 insns per cycle
# 0.11 stalled cycles per insn
79,352,134,463 cycles # 0.000 GHz [11.11%]
165,178,301,818 instructions # 2.08 insns per cycle
# 0.11 stalled cycles per insn [11.13%]
As you can see although perf does a very good job of scaling the values
in the non-pinned case, there is some small discrepancy.
The patch is fairly straight forward, the one detail is that we need to
make sure we only request pinning for the group leader when we have a
group.

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.

Currently the full dynticks subsystem keep the
tick alive as long as there are perf events running.
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.
The tick can be shutdown the rest of the time.

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.
So lets clean this up by cancelling the refcount from
get_callchain_buffer() in case of failure. And correctly free
the event accordingly in perf_event_alloc().

perf: Fix branch stack refcount leak on callchain init failure
On callchain buffers allocation failure, free_event() is
called and all the accounting performed in perf_event_alloc()
for that event is cancelled.
But if the event has branch stack sampling, it is unaccounted

This is a bug because this accounting is performed after the
callchain buffer allocation. As a result, the branch stack sampling
events refcount can become negative.
To fix this, move the branch stack event accounting before the
callchain buffer allocation.

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.
The percentages in the final column highlight the areas with the biggest wins,

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:

This is however problematic, as early code might be using jump

of such occurences has been encountered by Fengguang:
Fix this by directly calling poke_int3_handler() from the int3
exception handler (analogically to what ftrace has been doing
already), instead of relying on notifier, registration of which
might not have yet been finalized by the time of the first trap.

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.

perf script: Fix named threads support
Commit 73994dc broke named thread support in perf-script. The thread
struct in al is the main thread for a multithreaded process. The thread
struct used for analysis (e.g., dumping events) should be the specific
thread for the sample.
kprobes/x86: Use text_poke_bp() instead of text_poke_smp*()
Use text_poke_bp() for optimizing kprobes instead of
text_poke_smp*(). Since the number of kprobes is usually not so
large (<100) and text_poke_bp() is much lighter than
text_poke_smp() [which uses stop_machine()], this just stops
using batch processing.

Pull networking fixes from David Miller:
"A couple interesting SKB fragment handling fixes, plus the usual small
bits here and there:
1) Fix 64-bit divide build failure on 32-bit platforms in mlx5, from
Tim Gardner.
2) Get rid of a stupid reimplementation on "%*phC" in our sysfs MAC
address printing helper.
3) Fix NETIF_F_SG capability advertisement in hyperv driver, if the
device can't do checksumming offloads then it shouldn't say it can
do SG either. From Haiyang Zhang.
4) bgmac needs to depend on PHYLIB, from Hauke Mehrtens.
5) Don't leak DMA mappings on mapping failures, from Neil Horman.
6) We need to reset the transport header of SKBs in ipv4 before we
attempt to perform early socket demux, just like ipv6 does. From
Eric Dumazet.
7) Add missing locking on vxlan device removal, from Stephen
Hemminger.
8) xen-netfront has to make two passes over an SKB to prepare it for
transfer. One pass calculates the number of slots needed, the
second massages the SKB and fills the slots. Unfortunately, the
first pass doesn't calculate the number of slots properly so we
can end up trying to build a MAX_SKB_FRAGS + 1 SKB which doesn't
work out so well. Fix from Jan Beulich with help and discussion
with several others.
9) Fix a similar problem in tun and macvtap, which have to split up
scatter-gather elements at PAGE_SIZE boundaries. Don't do
zerocopy if it would result in a > MAX_SKB_FRAGS skb. Fixes from
Jason Wang.
10) On receive, once we've decoded the VLAN state completely, clear
skb->vlan_tci. Otherwise demuxed tunnels underneath can trigger
the VLAN code again, corrupting the packet. Fix from Eric
Dumazet"

Pull x86 fixes from Peter Anvin:
"Trying again to get the fixes queue, including the fixed IDT alignment
patch.
The UEFI patch is by far the biggest issue at hand: it is currently
causing quite a few machines to boot. Which is sad, because the only
reason they would is because their BIOSes touch memory that has
already been freed. The other major issue is that we finally have
tracked down the root cause of a significant number of machines
failing to suspend/resume"
