tools/perf: Fix double/triple-build of the feature detection logic during 'make install' et al
Linus reported the following perf build system bug:
'Another annoyance during that make was that "make install" seems to
want to re-make the thing I just built. That's absolutely horrible, [...]'
The thing that got re-built were 'only' the (numerous) feature checks,
not the whole project - but still it was mighty annoying as the feature
checks took 9+ seconds even on reasonably fast boxes.
Even with the autodep patches where feature detection is much faster
it wastes resources, wastes screen real estate and confuses users if
we execute feature detection twice.
There were two sources for these unnecessary re-builds of the feature
checks:
- Unnecessary nested invocations of $(MAKE), apparently to be able
to do conditional compilation dependent on documentation tools
presence. Use straight dependencies instead, with no nesting.
- A direct invocation of $(MAKE) to rebuild the PERF-VERSION-FILE.
This is apparently done to be able to include it into the
Makefile:
-include $(OUTPUT)PERF-VERSION-FILE
but that's entirely pointless for two reasons: 1) the version file
gets regenerated by the initial build pass anyway, 2) including it
is futile, given its contents:
#define PERF_VERSION "3.12.rc3.g8510c7"
'make' will interpret that as a comment line...
So just remove this part of the doc-generation logic.
With these things fixed a 'make install' now rebuilds only what is needed.
A repeated 'make install' on an already built tree is super fast now,
it finishes in under 0.3 seconds:
#
# After the patch:
#
$ time make install
...
real 0m0.280s
user 0m0.162s
sys 0m0.054s
Prior all the autodep changes and prior this fix, a repeat 'make install'
took 24.1 seconds (!) on the same system:
#
# Before the patches:
#
$ time make install
...
real 0m24.109s
user 0m21.171s
sys 0m2.449s
Which almost entirely was caused by fixable build system fat.
We are now literally ~86 times faster.
A fresh rebuild and install now takes just 11.4 seconds:
#
# After the patch:
#
$ make clean
$ time make -j16 install
...
real 0m11.457s
user 1m43.411s
sys 0m7.610s
Without the patches it took 27.8 seconds:
#
# Before the patches:
#
$ make clean
$ time make -j16 install
...
real 0m27.801s
user 1m59.242s

Fix to find the correct (as much as possible) line information for
listing probes. Without this fix, perf probe --list action will show

probe:getname_flags_2 (on user_path_at_empty:-2054@x86/include/asm/current.h)
The minus line number is obviously wrong, and current.h is not related
to the probe point. Deeper investigation discovered that there were 2
issues related to this bug, and minor typos too.
The 1st issue is the rack of considering about nested inlined functions,
which causes the wrong (relative) line number.
The 2nd issue is that the dwarf line info is not correct at those
points. It points 14th line of current.h.
Since it seems that the line info includes somewhat unreliable
information, this fixes perf to try to find correct line information
from both of debuginfo and line info as below.
1) Probe address is the entry of a function instance
In this case, the line is set as the function declared line.
2) Probe address is the entry of an expanded inline function block
In this case, the line is set as the function call-site line.
This means that the line number is relative from the entry line
of caller function (which can be an inlined function if nested)
3) Probe address is inside a function instance or an expanded
inline function block
In this case, perf probe queries the line number from lineinfo
and verify the function declared file is same as the file name
queried from lineinfo.
If the file name is different, it is a failure case. The probe
address is shown as symbol+offset.
4) Probe address is not in the any function instance
This is a failure case, the probe address is shown as
symbol+offset.
With this fix, perf probe -l shows correct probe lines as below;
probe:getname_flags (on getname_flags@ksrc/linux-3/fs/namei.c)
probe:getname_flags_1 (on getname:2@ksrc/linux-3/fs/namei.c)
probe:getname_flags_2 (on user_path_at_empty:4@ksrc/linux-3/fs/namei.c)

perf/x86: Add Haswell specific transaction flag reporting
In the PEBS handler report the transaction flags using the new
generic transaction flags facility. Most of them come from
the "tsx_tuning" field in PEBSv2, but the abort code is derived
from the RAX register reported in the PEBS record.
Add a generic qualifier for transaction events, as a new sample
type that returns a flag word. This is particularly useful
for qualifying aborts: to distinguish aborts which happen
due to asynchronous events (like conflicts caused by another
CPU) versus instructions that lead to an abort.
The tuning strategies are very different for those cases,
so it's important to distinguish them easily and early.
Since it's inconvenient and inflexible to filter for this
in the kernel we report all the events out and allow
some post processing in user space.
The flags are based on the Intel TSX events, but should be fairly
generic and mostly applicable to other HTM architectures too. In addition
to various flag words there's also reserved space to report an
program supplied abort code. For TSX this is used to distinguish specific
classes of aborts, like a lock busy abort when doing lock elision.
Flags:
Elision and generic transactions (ELISION vs TRANSACTION)
(HLE vs RTM on TSX; IBM etc. would likely only use TRANSACTION)
Aborts caused by current thread vs aborts caused by others (SYNC vs ASYNC)
Retryable transaction (RETRY)
Conflicts with other threads (CONFLICT)
Transaction write capacity overflow (CAPACITY WRITE)
Transaction read capacity overflow (CAPACITY READ)
Transactions implicitely aborted can also return an abort code.
This can be used to signal specific events to the profiler. A common
case is abort on lock busy in a RTM eliding library (code 0xff)
To handle this case we include the TSX abort code
Common example aborts in TSX would be:
- Data conflict with another thread on memory read.
Flags: TRANSACTION|ASYNC|CONFLICT
- executing a WRMSR in a transaction. Flags: TRANSACTION|SYNC
- HLE transaction in user space is too large
Flags: ELISION|SYNC|CAPACITY-WRITE
The only flag that is somewhat TSX specific is ELISION.
This adds the perf core glue needed for reporting the new flag word out.

While auditing the list_entry usage due to a trinity bug I found that
perf_pmu_migrate_context violates the rules for

The problem is that perf_event::event_entry is a RCU list element, and
hence we must wait for a full RCU grace period before re-using the
element after deletion.
Therefore the usage in perf_pmu_migrate_context() which re-uses the
entry immediately is broken. For now introduce another list_head into
perf_event for this specific usage.

While this code is fixable, the commit itself fails on several levels:
- it should have been a separate helper function
- why the heck does it do strchr() twice
- it casts a const char * over into char *
- sloppy style
- it's not even a regression fix!
So lets revert it and re-try the patch in v3.13.

Specifics:
1) After the recent locking changes in the cpufreq core it is
possible to trigger BUG_ON(!policy) in lock_policy_rwsem_read() if
cpufreq_get() is called before registering a cpufreq driver. Fix
from Viresh Kumar.
2) If intel_pstate has been loaded already, it doesn't make sense to
do anything in acpi_cpufreq_init() and moreover doing something in
there in that case may be harmful, so make that function return
immediately if another cpufreq driver is already present. From
Yinghai Lu.
3) The ACPI IPMI driver sometimes attempts to acquire a mutex from
interrupt context, which can be avoided by replacing that mutex
with a spinlock. From Lv Zheng.
4) A NULL pointer may be dereferenced by the exynos5440 cpufreq
driver if a memory allocation made by it fails. Fix from Sachin
Kamat.

PCI: Workaround missing pci_set_master in pci drivers
Ben Herrenschmidt found that commit 928bea964827 ("PCI: Delay enabling
bridges until they're needed") breaks PCI in some powerpc environments.
The reason is that the PCIe port driver will call pci_enable_device() on
the bridge, so the device is enabled, but skips pci_set_master because
pcie_port_auto and no acpi on powerpc.
Because of that, pci_enable_bridge() later on (called as a result of the
child device driver doing pci_enable_device) will see the bridge as
already enabled and will not call pci_set_master() on it.
Fixed by add checking in pci_enable_bridge, and call pci_set_master
if driver skip that.
That will make the code more robot and wade off problem for missing
pci_set_master in drivers.

Pull s390 lockref enablement from Heiko Carstens:
"Enabling the new lockless lockref variant on s390 would have been
trivial until Tony Luck added a cpu_relax() call into the

loop")
As already mentioned cpu_relax() is very expensive on s390 since it
yields() the current virtual cpu. So we are talking of several
thousand cycles. Considering this enabling the lockless lockref
variant would contradict the intention of the new semantics. And also
some quick measurements show performance regressions of 50% and more.
Simply removing the cpu_relax() call again seems also not very
desireable since Waiman Long reported that for some workloads the call
improved performance by 5%."

drm/msm: deal with mach/iommu.h removal
We still need an API exported by msm iommu driver (but not visible in
any public header anymore). For now, just declare the prototype
ourselves, but when msm iommu driver provides a better option, use that
instead.
lockref: use arch_mutex_cpu_relax() in CMPXCHG_LOOP()
Make use of arch_mutex_cpu_relax() so architectures can override the
default cpu_relax() semantics.
This is especially useful for s390, where cpu_relax() means that we
yield() the current (virtual) cpu and therefore is very expensive,
and would contradict the whole purpose of the lockless cmpxchg loop.
to get rid of CONFIG_HAVE_CPU_RELAX_SIMPLE. So architectures can
simply define arch_mutex_cpu_relax if they want an architecture
specific function instead of having to add a select statement in
their Kconfig in addition.
