e4a338d05d perf top: Don't stop if no kernel symtab is found
We now just warn the user about the fact and go on providing just
userspace samples.

This fixes a problem when no vmlinux is explicetely passed by the user,
thus symbol_conf.vmlinux_name is NULL, no suitable vmlinux is found, and
then we get:

 aldebaran:~> perf top -p 7557
 [kernel.kallsyms] with build id 44d9a989eabbd79e486bc079d6b743d397c204e0
 not found, continuing without symbols
 The (null) file can't be used

4af4c9550c perf events: initialize fd array to -1 instead of 0
perf_evsel__alloc_fd allocates an array of file descriptors with the
memory initialized to 0. The array has dimensions for cpus and threads.

Later, __perf_evsel__open calls sys_perf_event_open for each cpu and thread
dimensions. If the open fails for any of the cpus or threads then the fd's
for this event are closed and the fd entry in the array is set to -1. Now,
if the first attempt fails for the event (e.g., the event is not supported)
the remaining dimensions (cpu > 0 and thread > 0) are not touched and left
at the initialized value of 0.

builtin-stat catches ENOENT and ENOSYS failures and allows the command to
continue. The end result is that stat attempts to read from an fd of 0 which
of course is stdin and so the command hangs until you type ctrl-D.

Resolve by initializing the array to -1 since an fd < 0 is already
handled.

ec80fde746 perf symbols: Handle /proc/sys/kernel/kptr_restrict
Perf uses /proc/modules to figure out where kernel modules are loaded.

With the advent of kptr_restrict, non root users get zeroes for all module
start addresses.

So check if kptr_restrict is non zero and don't generate the syntethic
PERF_RECORD_MMAP events for them.

Warn the user about it in perf record and in perf report.

In perf report the reference relocation symbol being zero means that
kptr_restrict was set, thus /proc/kallsyms has only zeroed addresses, so don't
use it to fixup symbol addresses when using a valid kallsyms (in the buildid
cache) or vmlinux (in the vmlinux path) build-id located automatically or
specified by the user.

Provide an explanation about it in 'perf report' if kernel samples were taken,
checking if a suitable vmlinux or kallsyms was found/specified.

Restricted /proc/kallsyms don't go to the buildid cache anymore.

Example:

 [acme@emilia ~]$ perf record -F 100000 sleep 1

 WARNING: Kernel address maps (/proc/{kallsyms,modules}) are restricted, check
 /proc/sys/kernel/kptr_restrict.

 Samples in kernel functions may not be resolved if a suitable vmlinux file is
 not found in the buildid cache or in the vmlinux path.

 Samples in kernel modules won't be resolved at all.

 If some relocation was applied (e.g. kexec) symbols may be misresolved even
 with a suitable vmlinux or kallsyms file.

 [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
 [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.005 MB perf.data (~231 samples) ]

 [acme@emilia ~]$ perf report --stdio
 Kernel address maps (/proc/{kallsyms,modules}) were restricted,
 check /proc/sys/kernel/kptr_restrict before running 'perf record'.

 If some relocation was applied (e.g. kexec) symbols may be misresolved.

 Samples in kernel modules can't be resolved as well.

This is because it found a suitable vmlinux (build-id checked) in
/lib/modules/2.6.39-rc7+/build/vmlinux (use -v in perf report to see the long
file name).

If we remove that file from the vmlinux path:

		     /lib/modules/2.6.39-rc7+/build/vmlinux.OFF

 Kernel address maps (/proc/{kallsyms,modules}) were restricted, check
 /proc/sys/kernel/kptr_restrict before running 'perf record'.

 As no suitable kallsyms nor vmlinux was found, kernel samples can't be
 resolved.

998bedc8c5 perf tools: Fix ommitted mmap data update on remap
Commit eac9eacee1 "perf tools: Check we are able to read the event
size on mmap" brought a check to ensure we can read the size of the
event before dereferencing it, and do a remap otherwise to move the
buffer forward.

However that remap was ommitting all the necessary work to
update the new page offset, head, and to unmap previous pages,
etc...

To fix this, gather all the code that fetches the event in a
seperate helper which does all the necessary checks about the
header/event size and tells us anytime a remap is needed.

268bb0ce3e sanitize <linux/prefetch.h> usage
Commit e66eed651f ("list: remove prefetching from regular list
iterators") removed the include of prefetch.h from list.h, which
uncovered several cases that had apparently relied on that rather
obscure header file dependency.

So this fixes things up a bit, using

   grep -L linux/prefetch.h $(git grep -l '[^a-z_]prefetchw*(' -- '*.[ch]')
   grep -L 'prefetchw*(' $(git grep -l 'linux/prefetch.h' -- '*.[ch]')

to guide us in finding files that either need <linux/prefetch.h>
inclusion, or have it despite not needing it.

There are more of them around (mostly network drivers), but this gets
many core ones.

but there are evaluated at time of test not config processing time.

77d942ceac ktest: Create variables for the ktest config files
I found that I constantly reuse information for each test case.
It would be nice to just define a variable to reuse.

For example I may have:

TEST_START
[...]
TEST = ssh root@mybox /path/to/my/script

TEST_START
[...]
TEST = ssh root@mybox /path/to/my/script

[etc]

The issue is, I may wont to change that script or one of the other
fields. Then I need to update each line individually.

With the addition of config variables (variables only used during parsing
the config) we can simplify the config files. These variables can
also be defined multiple times and each time the new value will
overwrite the old value.

The convention to use a config variable over a ktest option is to use :=
instead of =.

Now we could do:

USER := root
TARGET := mybox
TEST_SCRIPT := /path/to/my/script
TEST_CASE := ${USER}@${TARGET} ${TEST_SCRIPT}

TEST_START
[...]
TEST = ${TEST_CASE}

TEST_START
[...]
TEST = ${TEST_CASE}

[etc]

Now we just need to update the variables at the top.

4025bc62dd ktest: Reboot to good kernel after every bisect run
Reboot after each bisect run regardless if the bisect passed
or failed. The test may just be to boot the kernel and that kernel
may not have a way to copy the next kerne to it. Reboot to a known
good kernel after each bisect run.

ca6a21f874 ktest: Fix post install command
The command to run post install (for those that want initrds) was
broken. Instead of doing a substitution for the $KERNEL_VERSION
variable. It was replacing the entire command with nothing.

c3305257cd perf stat: Add more cache-miss percentage printouts
Print out the cache-miss percentage as well if the cache refs were

After:

   11,353,713,242 dTLB-loads                #  626.020 M/sec                    ( +-  0.35% )
      113,393,472 dTLB-load-misses          #    1.00% of all dTLB cache hits   ( +-  0.49% )

Also ASCII color highlight too high percentages, them when it's executed on the console.

Tweak the coverage percentage printout a bit, so that it's easier to view it

aece948f5d perf evlist: Fix per thread mmap setup
The PERF_EVENT_IOC_SET_OUTPUT ioctl was returning -EINVAL when using
--pid when monitoring multithreaded apps, as we can only share a ring
buffer for events on the same thread if not doing per cpu.

Fix it by using per thread ring buffers.

Just one mmap, as now we can use just one per-cpu buffer instead of the
per-thread needed in the previous case.

For global profiling:

[root@felicio ~]# perf record -F 50000 -a
^C[ perf record: Woken up 26 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 7.128 MB perf.data (~311412 samples) ]

[root@felicio ~]# grep perf_event /proc/`pidof perf`/maps | nl

[root@felicio ~]#

It uses per-cpu buffers.

For just one thread:

[root@felicio ~]# perf record -F 50000 --tid 26148
^C[ perf record: Woken up 2 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.330 MB perf.data (~14426 samples) ]

b901941819 perf tools: Honour the cpu list parameter when also monitoring a thread list
The perf_evlist__create_maps was discarding the --cpu parameter when a
--pid or --tid was specified, fix that.

174a7b1f96 perf tools: Makefile: Use gcc to determine ARCH
The original Makefile uses "uname -m" to determine ARCH.
This causes problem on x86 when compile perf tool on 32 bit
userspace with a 64 bit kernel.

 bench/../../../arch/x86/lib/memcpy_64.S: Assembler messages:
 bench/../../../arch/x86/lib/memcpy_64.S:28: Error: bad register name `%rdi'

This is because "uname -m" returns x86_64 and memcpy_64.S is
included in 32 bit build.

a26ac2455f rcu: move TREE_RCU from softirq to kthread
If RCU priority boosting is to be meaningful, callback invocation must
be boosted in addition to preempted RCU readers.  Otherwise, in presence
of CPU real-time threads, the grace period ends, but the callbacks don't
get invoked.  If the callbacks don't get invoked, the associated memory
doesn't get freed, so the system is still subject to OOM.

But it is not reasonable to priority-boost RCU_SOFTIRQ, so this commit
moves the callback invocations to a kthread, which can be boosted easily.

Also add comments and properly synchronized all accesses to
rcu_cpu_kthread_task, as suggested by Lai Jiangshan.

c63ca0c01d perf stat: Tell user about unsupported events in the list
Similar to perf-record, tell user about unsupported events
that will not be counted if invoked in verbose mode.

e.g.,

 $ perf stat -e dTLB-prefetch-misses -v -- sleep 1
 dTLB-prefetch-misses event is not supported by the kernel.
 dTLB-prefetch-misses: 0 0 0

 Performance counter stats for 'sleep 1':

     <not counted> dTLB-prefetch-misses

        1.001884783  seconds time elapsed
