Some clean ups and small fixes, but the biggest change is the addition
of the TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM() macro that can be used by tracepoints. Tracepoints have helper functions for the TP_printk() called __print_symbolic() and __print_flags() that lets a numeric number be displayed as a a human comprehensible text. What is placed in the TP_printk() is also shown in the tracepoint format file such that user space tools like perf and trace-cmd can parse the binary data and express the values too. Unfortunately, the way the TRACE_EVENT() macro works, anything placed in the TP_printk() will be shown pretty much exactly as is. The problem arises when enums are used. That's because unlike macros, enums will not be changed into their values by the C pre-processor. Thus, the enum string is exported to the format file, and this makes it useless for user space tools. The TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM() solves this by converting the enum strings in the TP_printk() format into their number, and that is what is shown to user space. For example, the tracepoint tlb_flush currently has this in its format file: __print_symbolic(REC->reason, { TLB_FLUSH_ON_TASK_SWITCH, "flush on task switch" }, { TLB_REMOTE_SHOOTDOWN, "remote shootdown" }, { TLB_LOCAL_SHOOTDOWN, "local shootdown" }, { TLB_LOCAL_MM_SHOOTDOWN, "local mm shootdown" }) After adding: TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM(TLB_FLUSH_ON_TASK_SWITCH); TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM(TLB_REMOTE_SHOOTDOWN); TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM(TLB_LOCAL_SHOOTDOWN); TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM(TLB_LOCAL_MM_SHOOTDOWN); Its format file will contain this: __print_symbolic(REC->reason, { 0, "flush on task switch" }, { 1, "remote shootdown" }, { 2, "local shootdown" }, { 3, "local mm shootdown" }) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1 iQEcBAABAgAGBQJVLBTuAAoJEEjnJuOKh9ldjHMIALdRS755TXCZGOf0r7O2akOR wMPeum7C+ae1mH+jCsJKUC0/jUfQKaMt/UxoHlipDgcGg8kD2jtGnGCw4Xlwvdsr y4rFmcTRSl1mo0zDSsg6ujoupHlVYN0+JPjrd7S3cv/llJoY49zcanNLF7S2XLeM dZCtWRLWYpBiWO68ai6AqJTnE/eGFIqBI048qb5Eg8dbK243SSeSIf9Ywhb+VsA+ aq6F7cWI/H6j4tbeza8tAN19dcwenDro5EfCDY8ARQHJu1f6Y3+DLf2imjkd6Aiu JVAoGIjHIpI+djwCZC1u4gi4urjfOqYartrM3Q54tb3YWYqHeNqP2ASI2a4EpYk= =Ixwt -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'trace-v4.1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt: "Some clean ups and small fixes, but the biggest change is the addition of the TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM() macro that can be used by tracepoints.

writeback: Export enums used by tracepoint to user space
The enums used in tracepoints for __print_symbolic() do not have their values shown in the tracepoint format files and this makes it difficult for user space tools to convert the binary values to the strings they are to represent.

f2fs: Export the enums in the tracepoints to userspace
The tracepoints that use __print_symbolic() use enums as the value to convert to strings. Unfortunately, the format files for these tracepoints show the enum name and not their value.

Add TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM() macros to export the enums used to userspace to let those tools know what those enum values are.

tracing: Add TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM() macro to map enums to their values
Several tracepoints use the helper functions __print_symbolic() or __print_flags() and pass in enums that do the mapping between the binary data stored and the value to print. This works well for reading the ASCII trace files, but when the data is read via userspace tools such as perf and trace-cmd, the conversion of the binary value to a human string format is lost if an enum is used, as userspace does not have access to what the ENUM is. For example, the tracepoint trace_tlb_flush() has: __print_symbolic(REC->reason, { TLB_FLUSH_ON_TASK_SWITCH, "flush on task switch" }, { TLB_REMOTE_SHOOTDOWN, "remote shootdown" }, { TLB_LOCAL_SHOOTDOWN, "local shootdown" }, { TLB_LOCAL_MM_SHOOTDOWN, "local mm shootdown" }) Which maps the enum values to the strings they represent. But perf and trace-cmd do no know what value TLB_LOCAL_MM_SHOOTDOWN is, and would not be able to map it. With TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM(), developers can place these in the event header files and ftrace will convert the enums to their values: By adding: TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM(TLB_FLUSH_ON_TASK_SWITCH); TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM(TLB_REMOTE_SHOOTDOWN); TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM(TLB_LOCAL_SHOOTDOWN); TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM(TLB_LOCAL_MM_SHOOTDOWN); $ cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/tlb/tlb_flush/format [...] __print_symbolic(REC->reason, { 0, "flush on task switch" }, { 1, "remote shootdown" }, { 2, "local shootdown" }, { 3, "local mm shootdown" }) The above is what userspace expects to see, and tools do not need to be modified to parse them.

tracing: Give system name a pointer
Normally the compiler will use the same pointer for a string throughout the file. But there's no guarantee of that happening. Later changes will require that all events have the same pointer to the system string. Name the system string and have all events point to it. Testing this, it did not increases the size of the text, except for the notes section, which should not harm the real size any.

Fairly small update, but there are some interesting new features.
Common: Optional support for adding a small amount of polling on each HLT instruction executed in the guest (or equivalent for other architectures). This can improve latency up to 50% on some scenarios (e.g. O_DSYNC writes or TCP_RR netperf tests). This also has to be enabled manually for now, but the plan is to auto-tune this in the future. ARM/ARM64: the highlights are support for GICv3 emulation and dirty page tracking s390: several optimizations and bugfixes. Also a first: a feature exposed by KVM (UUID and long guest name in /proc/sysinfo) before it is available in IBM's hypervisor! :) MIPS: Bugfixes. x86: Support for PML (page modification logging, a new feature in Broadwell Xeons that speeds up dirty page tracking), nested virtualization improvements (nested APICv---a nice optimization), usual round of emulation fixes. There is also a new option to reduce latency of the TSC deadline timer in the guest; this needs to be tuned manually. Some commits are common between this pull and Catalin's; I see you have already included his tree. ARM has other conflicts where functions are added in the same place by 3.19-rc and 3.20 patches.

Merge branch 'for-3.20/bdi' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block
Pull backing device changes from Jens Axboe: "This contains a cleanup of how the backing device is handled, in preparation for a rework of the life time rules. In this part, the most important change is to split the unrelated nommu mmap flags from it, but also removing a backing_dev_info pointer from the address_space (and inode), and a cleanup of other various minor bits. Christoph did all the work here, I just fixed an oops with pages that have a swap backing. Arnd fixed a missing export, and Oleg killed the lustre backing_dev_info from staging. Last patch was from Al, unexporting parts that are now no longer needed outside" * 'for-3.20/bdi' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block: Make super_blocks and sb_lock static mtd: export new mtd_mmap_capabilities fs: make inode_to_bdi() handle NULL inode staging/lustre/llite: get rid of backing_dev_info fs: remove default_backing_dev_info fs: don't reassign dirty inodes to default_backing_dev_info nfs: don't call bdi_unregister ceph: remove call to bdi_unregister fs: remove mapping->backing_dev_info fs: export inode_to_bdi and use it in favor of mapping->backing_dev_info nilfs2: set up s_bdi like the generic mount_bdev code block_dev: get bdev inode bdi directly from the block device block_dev: only write bdev inode on close fs: introduce f_op->mmap_capabilities for nommu mmap support fs: kill BDI_CAP_SWAP_BACKED fs: deduplicate noop_backing_dev_info |

The updates included in this pull request for ftrace are:
o Several clean ups to the code One such clean up was to convert to 64 bit time keeping, in the ring buffer benchmark code. o Adding of __print_array() helper macro for TRACE_EVENT() o Updating the sample/trace_events/ to add samples of different ways to make trace events. Lots of features have been added since the sample code was made, and these features are mostly unknown. Developers have been making their own hacks to do things that are already available. o Performance improvements. Most notably, I found a performance bug where a waiter that is waiting for a full page from the ring buffer will see that a full page is not available, and go to sleep. The sched event caused by it going to sleep would cause it to wake up again. It would see that there was still not a full page, and go back to sleep again, and that would wake it up again, until finally it would see a full page. This change has been marked for stable. Other improvements include removing global locks from fast paths. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1 iQEcBAABAgAGBQJU3M+GAAoJEEjnJuOKh9ldpWQIAJTUzeVXlU0cf3bVn768VW7e XS41WHF34l1tNevmKTh6fCPiw8+U0UMGLQt5WKtyaaARsZn2MlefLVuvHPKFlK2w +qcI4OEVHH97Qgf9HWJSsYgnZaOnOE+TENqnokEgXMimRMuVcd/S4QaGxwJVDcjm iBF5j2TaG4aGbx4a3J7KueoZ3K+39r3ut15hIGi/IZBZldQ1pt26ytafD/KA3CU3 BLRM2HLttAMsV1ds0EDLgZjSGICVetFcdOmI5Gwj7Qr3KrOTRPYJMNc8NdDL7Js9 v8VhujhFGvcCrhO/IKpVvd9yluz3RCF+Z7ihc+D/+1B3Nsm0PTwN3Fl5J+f89AA= =u2Mm -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'trace-v3.20' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt: "The updates included in this pull request for ftrace are: o Several clean ups to the code One such clean up was to convert to 64 bit time keeping, in the ring buffer benchmark code. o Adding of __print_array() helper macro for TRACE_EVENT() o Updating the sample/trace_events/ to add samples of different ways to make trace events.

mm: when stealing freepages, also take pages created by splitting buddy page
When studying page stealing, I noticed some weird looking decisions in try_to_steal_freepages(). The first I assume is a bug (Patch 1), the following two patches were driven by evaluation. Testing was done with stress-highalloc of mmtests, using the mm_page_alloc_extfrag tracepoint and postprocessing to get counts of how often page stealing occurs for individual migratetypes, and what migratetypes are used for fallbacks. Arguably, the worst case of page stealing is when UNMOVABLE allocation steals from MOVABLE pageblock. RECLAIMABLE allocation stealing from MOVABLE allocation is also not ideal, so the goal is to minimize these two cases. The evaluation of v2 wasn't always clear win and Joonsoo questioned the results. Here I used different baseline which includes RFC compaction improvements from [1]. I found that the compaction improvements reduce variability of stress-highalloc, so there's less noise in the data. First, let's look at stress-highalloc configured to do sync compaction, and how these patches reduce page stealing events during the test. First column is after fresh reboot, other two are reiterations of test without reboot. That was all accumulater over 5 re-iterations (so the benchmark was run 5x3 times with 5 fresh restarts). Baseline: 3.19-rc4 3.19-rc4 3.19-rc4 5-nothp-1 5-nothp-2 5-nothp-3 Page alloc extfrag event 10264225 8702233 10244125 Extfrag fragmenting 10263271 8701552 10243473 Extfrag fragmenting for unmovable 13595 17616 15960 Extfrag fragmenting unmovable placed with movable 7989 12193 8447 Extfrag fragmenting for reclaimable 658 1840 1817 Extfrag fragmenting reclaimable placed with movable 558 1677 1679 Extfrag fragmenting for movable 10249018 8682096 10225696 With Patch 1: 3.19-rc4 3.19-rc4 3.19-rc4 6-nothp-1 6-nothp-2 6-nothp-3 Page alloc extfrag event 11834954 9877523 9774860 Extfrag fragmenting 11833993 9876880 9774245 Extfrag fragmenting for unmovable 7342 16129 11712 Extfrag fragmenting unmovable placed with movable 4191 10547 6270 Extfrag fragmenting for reclaimable 373 1130 923 Extfrag fragmenting reclaimable placed with movable 302 906 738 Extfrag fragmenting for movable 11826278 9859621 9761610 With Patch 2: 3.19-rc4 3.19-rc4 3.19-rc4 7-nothp-1 7-nothp-2 7-nothp-3 Page alloc extfrag event 4725990 3668793 3807436 Extfrag fragmenting 4725104 3668252 3806898 Extfrag fragmenting for unmovable 6678 7974 7281 Extfrag fragmenting unmovable placed with movable 2051 3829 4017 Extfrag fragmenting for reclaimable 429 1208 1278 Extfrag fragmenting reclaimable placed with movable 369 976 1034 Extfrag fragmenting for movable 4717997 3659070 3798339 With Patch 3: 3.19-rc4 3.19-rc4 3.19-rc4 8-nothp-1 8-nothp-2 8-nothp-3 Page alloc extfrag event 5016183 4700142 3850633 Extfrag fragmenting 5015325 4699613 3850072 Extfrag fragmenting for unmovable 1312 3154 3088 Extfrag fragmenting unmovable placed with movable 1115 2777 2714 Extfrag fragmenting for reclaimable 437 1193 1097 Extfrag fragmenting reclaimable placed with movable 330 969 879 Extfrag fragmenting for movable 5013576 4695266 3845887 In v2 we've seen apparent regression with Patch 1 for unmovable events, this is now gone, suggesting it was indeed noise. Here, each patch improves the situation for unmovable events. Reclaimable is improved by patch 1 and then either the same modulo noise, or perhaps sligtly worse - a small price for unmovable improvements, IMHO. The number of movable allocations falling back to other migratetypes is most noisy, but it's reduced to half at Patch 2 nevertheless. These are least critical as compaction can move them around. If we look at success rates, the patches don't affect them, that didn't change.

mm/compaction: add tracepoint to observe behaviour of compaction defer
Compaction deferring logic is heavy hammer that block the way to the compaction. It doesn't consider overall system state, so it could prevent user from doing compaction falsely. In other words, even if system has enough range of memory to compact, compaction would be skipped due to compaction deferring logic. This patch add new tracepoint to understand work of deferring logic. This will also help to check compaction success and fail.

mm/compaction: enhance tracepoint output for compaction begin/end
We now have tracepoint for begin event of compaction and it prints start position of both scanners, but, tracepoint for end event of compaction doesn't print finish position of both scanners. It'd be also useful to know finish position of both scanners so this patch add it. It will help to find odd behavior or problem on compaction internal logic. And mode is added to both begin/end tracepoint output, since according to mode, compaction behavior is quite different. And lastly, status format is changed to string rather than status number for readability.

This patch adds FASTBOOT flag into checkpoint as follows. - CP_UMOUNT_FLAG is set when system is umounted. - CP_FASTBOOT_FLAG is set when intermediate checkpoint having node summaries was done. So, if you get CP_UMOUNT_FLAG from checkpoint, the system was umounted cleanly. Instead, if there was sudden-power-off, you can get CP_FASTBOOT_FLAG or nothing.

f2fs: merge flags in struct f2fs_sb_info
Currently, there are several variables with Boolean type as below: struct f2fs_sb_info { ... int s_dirty; bool need_fsck; bool s_closing; ... bool por_doing; ... } For this there are some issues: 1. there are some space of f2fs_sb_info is wasted due to aligning after Boolean type variables by compiler. 2. if we continuously add new flag into f2fs_sb_info, structure will be messed up. So in this patch, we try to: 1. switch s_dirty to Boolean type variable since it has two status 0/1. 2. merge s_dirty/need_fsck/s_closing/por_doing variables into s_flag. 3. introduce an enum type which can indicate different states of sbi. 4. use new introduced universal interfaces is_sbi_flag_set/{set,clear}_sbi_flag to operate flags for sbi. After that, above issues will be fixed. Signed-off-by: Chao Yu <chao2.yu@samsung.com> Signed-off-by: Jaegeuk Kim <jaegeuk@kernel.org> |

During testing Sedat Dilek hit a "suspicious RCU usage" splat that pointed
out a real bug. During suspend and resume the tlb_flush tracepoint is called when the CPU is going offline. As the CPU has been noted as offline, RCU is ignoring that CPU, which means that it can not use RCU protected locks. When tracepoints are activated, they require RCU locking, and if RCU is ignoring a CPU that runs a tracepoint, there is a chance that the tracepoint could cause corruption. The solution was to change the tracepoint into a TRACE_EVENT_CONDITION() which allows us to check a condition to determine if the tracepoint should be called or not. If the condition is not met, the rcu protected code will not be executed. By adding the condition "cpu_online(smp_processor_id())", this will prevent the RCU protected code from being executed if the CPU is marked offline. After adding this, another bug was discovered. As RCU checks rcu callers, if a rcu call is not done, there is no check (obviously). We found that tracepoints could be added in RCU ignored locations and not have lockdep complain until the tracepoint is activated. This missed places where tracepoints were added in places they should not have been. To fix this, code was added in 3.18 that if lockdep is enabled, any tracepoint will still call the rcu checks even if the tracepoint is not enabled. The bug here, is that the check does not take the CONDITION into account. As the condition may prevent tracepoints from being activated in RCU ignored areas (as the one patch does), we get false positives when we enable lockdep and hit a tracepoint that the condition prevents it from being called in a RCU ignored location. The fix for this is to add the CONDITION to the rcu checks, even if the tracepoint is not enabled. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1 iQEcBAABAgAGBQJU1rQfAAoJEEjnJuOKh9ld19UH/juFLZFjpYBgtRmbCZa/54Zk i2Fa3U8jQe8MHHEYOjCLT9MQTYo/42btmJhr7kWKtIoUgDEli4lkOpbs+H0qar5y Vv9+1cLeNFQzgIE3nwV7cjAw7Jufoyzd1lstDqIQvcmzZnQ5sNyyVeigMcxGv8Ls 4FyqzG6zCVgiDL4LyYNHdNcMr6qLs3KTFDEqp+kQreeO7R1r3ZEpq3JoWaEUgoPP qrYv/rqVosLBUGA0pd7RmiGOxhjeKm15qz1GkiPeeus6DDWC6bvPC8cAc/FfkXH0 hYpoQghSZVnXGy0LzVsd44gj7tYx1FHEpYy1s8G6d5WJcNOGZ6OoZOdOZMyjPVw= =PeL2 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'trace-fixes-v3.19-rc7' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace Pull ftrace fixes from Steven Rostedt: "During testing Sedat Dilek hit a "suspicious RCU usage" splat that pointed out a real bug.

x86/tlb/trace: Do not trace on CPU that is offline
When taking a CPU down for suspend and resume, a tracepoint may be called
when the CPU has been designated offline. As tracepoints require RCU for
protection, they must not be called if the current CPU is offline.
Unfortunately, trace_tlb_flush() is called in this scenario as was noted
by LOCKDEP:

kvm: add halt_poll_ns module parameter
This patch introduces a new module parameter for the KVM module; when it is present, KVM attempts a bit of polling on every HLT before scheduling itself out via kvm_vcpu_block. This parameter helps a lot for latency-bound workloads---in particular I tested it with O_DSYNC writes with a battery-backed disk in the host. In this case, writes are fast (because the data doesn't have to go all the way to the platters) but they cannot be merged by either the host or the guest. KVM's performance here is usually around 30% of bare metal, or 50% if you use cache=directsync or cache=writethrough (these parameters avoid that the guest sends pointless flush requests, and at the same time they are not slow because of the battery-backed cache). The bad performance happens because on every halt the host CPU decides to halt itself too. When the interrupt comes, the vCPU thread is then migrated to a new physical CPU, and in general the latency is horrible because the vCPU thread has to be scheduled back in. With this patch performance reaches 60-65% of bare metal and, more important, 99% of what you get if you use idle=poll in the guest. This means that the tunable gets rid of this particular bottleneck, and more work can be done to improve performance in the kernel or QEMU. Of course there is some price to pay; every time an otherwise idle vCPUs is interrupted by an interrupt, it will poll unnecessarily and thus impose a little load on the host. The above results were obtained with a mostly random value of the parameter (500000), and the load was around 1.5-2.5% CPU usage on one of the host's core for each idle guest vCPU. The patch also adds a new stat, /sys/kernel/debug/kvm/halt_successful_poll, that can be used to tune the parameter. It counts how many HLT instructions received an interrupt during the polling period; each successful poll avoids that Linux schedules the VCPU thread out and back in, and may also avoid a likely trip to C1 and back for the physical CPU. While the VM is idle, a Linux 4 VCPU VM halts around 10 times per second. Of these halts, almost all are failed polls. During the benchmark, instead, basically all halts end within the polling period, except a more or less constant stream of 50 per second coming from vCPUs that are not running the benchmark. The wasted time is thus very low. Things may be slightly different for Windows VMs, which have a ~10 ms timer tick. The effect is also visible on Marcelo's recently-introduced latency test for the TSC deadline timer. Though of course a non-RT kernel has awful latency bounds, the latency of the timer is around 8000-10000 clock cycles compared to 20000-120000 without setting halt_poll_ns. For the TSC deadline timer, thus, the effect is both a smaller average latency and a smaller variance. Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com> |

ext4: add optimization for the lazytime mount option
Add an optimization for the MS_LAZYTIME mount option so that we will opportunistically write out any inodes with the I_DIRTY_TIME flag set in a particular inode table block when we need to update some inode in that inode table block anyway. Also add some temporary code so that we can set the lazytime mount option without needing a modified /sbin/mount program which can set MS_LAZYTIME. We can eventually make this go away once util-linux has added support. Google-Bug-Id: 18297052 Signed-off-by: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> |

vfs: add support for a lazytime mount option
Add a new mount option which enables a new "lazytime" mode. This mode causes atime, mtime, and ctime updates to only be made to the in-memory version of the inode. The on-disk times will only get updated when (a) if the inode needs to be updated for some non-time related change, (b) if userspace calls fsync(), syncfs() or sync(), or (c) just before an undeleted inode is evicted from memory. This is OK according to POSIX because there are no guarantees after a crash unless userspace explicitly requests via a fsync(2) call. For workloads which feature a large number of random write to a preallocated file, the lazytime mount option significantly reduces writes to the inode table. The repeated 4k writes to a single block will result in undesirable stress on flash devices and SMR disk drives. Even on conventional HDD's, the repeated writes to the inode table block will trigger Adjacent Track Interference (ATI) remediation latencies, which very negatively impact long tail latencies --- which is a very big deal for web serving tiers (for example).

tracing: Add array printing helper
If a trace event contains an array, there is currently no standard way to format this for text output. Drivers are currently hacking around this by a) local hacks that use the trace_seq functionailty directly, or b) just not printing that information. For fixed size arrays, formatting of the elements can be open-coded, but this gets cumbersome for arrays of non-trivial size. These approaches result in non-standard content of the event format description delivered to userspace, so userland tools needs to be taught to understand and parse each array printing method individually. This patch implements a __print_array() helper that tracepoint implementations can use instead of reinventing it. A simple C-style syntax is used to delimit the array and its elements {like,this}. So that the helpers can be used with large static arrays as well as dynamic arrays, they take a pointer and element count: they can be used with __get_dynamic_array() for use with dynamic arrays.

iommu: Change trace unmap api to report unmapped size
Currently map and unmap are implemented as events under a common trace class declaration. The common class forces trace_unmap() to require a bogus physical address argument that it doesn't use. Changing unmap to report unmapped size will provide useful information for debugging. Remove common map_unmap trace class and change map and unmap into separate events as opposed to events under the same class to allow for differences in the reporting information. In addition, map and unmap are changed to handle size value as size_t instead of int to match the passed size value and avoid overflow.

perf: Avoid horrible stack usage
Both Linus (most recent) and Steve (a while ago) reported that perf related callbacks have massive stack bloat. The problem is that software events need a pt_regs in order to properly report the event location and unwind stack. And because we could not assume one was present we allocated one on stack and filled it with minimal bits required for operation. Now, pt_regs is quite large, so this is undesirable. Furthermore it turns out that most sites actually have a pt_regs pointer available, making this even more onerous, as the stack space is pointless waste. This patch addresses the problem by observing that software events have well defined nesting semantics, therefore we can use static per-cpu storage instead of on-stack. Linus made the further observation that all but the scheduler callers of perf_sw_event() have a pt_regs available, so we change the regular perf_sw_event() to require a valid pt_regs (where it used to be optional) and add perf_sw_event_sched() for the scheduler. We have a scheduler specific call instead of a more generic _noregs() like construct because we can assume non-recursion from the scheduler and thereby simplify the code further (_noregs would have to put the recursion context call inline in order to assertain which __perf_regs element to use). One last note on the implementation of perf_trace_buf_prepare(); we allow .regs = NULL for those cases where we already have a pt_regs pointer available and do not need another.
