Merge branch 'perf-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip

Pull perf events changes for v3.4 from Ingo Molnar:

- New "hardware based branch profiling" feature both on the kernel and
the tooling side, on CPUs that support it. (modern x86 Intel CPUs
with the 'LBR' hardware feature currently.)

This new feature is basically a sophisticated 'magnifying glass' for
branch execution - something that is pretty difficult to extract from
regular, function histogram centric profiles.

The simplest mode is activated via 'perf record -b', and the result
looks like this in perf report:

$ perf record -b any_call,u -e cycles:u branchy

$ perf report -b --sort=symbol
52.34% [.] main [.] f1
24.04% [.] f1 [.] f3
23.60% [.] f1 [.] f2
0.01% [k] _IO_new_file_xsputn [k] _IO_file_overflow
0.01% [k] _IO_vfprintf_internal [k] _IO_new_file_xsputn
0.01% [k] _IO_vfprintf_internal [k] strchrnul
0.01% [k] __printf [k] _IO_vfprintf_internal
0.01% [k] main [k] __printf

This output shows from/to branch columns and shows the highest
percentage (from,to) jump combinations - i.e. the most likely taken
branches in the system. "branches" can also include function calls
and any other synchronous and asynchronous transitions of the
instruction pointer that are not 'next instruction' - such as system
calls, traps, interrupts, etc.

This feature comes with (hopefully intuitive) flat ascii and TUI
support in perf report.

- Various 'perf annotate' visual improvements for us assembly junkies.
It will now recognize function calls in the TUI and by hitting enter
you can follow the call (recursively) and back, amongst other
improvements.

- Multiple threads/processes recording support in perf record, perf
stat, perf top - which is activated via a comma-list of PIDs:

perf top -p 21483,21485
perf stat -p 21483,21485 -ddd
perf record -p 21483,21485

- Support for per UID views, via the --uid paramter to perf top, perf
report, etc. For example 'perf top --uid mingo' will only show the
tasks that I am running, excluding other users, root, etc.

- Jump label restructurings and improvements - this includes the
factoring out of the (hopefully much clearer) include/linux/static_key.h
generic facility:

struct static_key key = STATIC_KEY_INIT_FALSE;

...

if (static_key_false(&key))
do unlikely code
else
do likely code

...
static_key_slow_inc();
...
static_key_slow_inc();
...

The static_key_false() branch will be generated into the code with as
little impact to the likely code path as possible. the
static_key_slow_*() APIs flip the branch via live kernel code patching.

This facility can now be used more widely within the kernel to
micro-optimize hot branches whose likelihood matches the static-key
usage and fast/slow cost patterns.

- SW function tracer improvements: perf support and filtering support.

- Various hardenings of the perf.data ABI, to make older perf.data's
smoother on newer tool versions, to make new features integrate more
smoothly, to support cross-endian recording/analyzing workflows
better, etc.

- Restructuring of the kprobes code, the splitting out of 'optprobes',
and a corner case bugfix.

- Allow the tracing of kernel console output (printk).

- Improvements/fixes to user-space RDPMC support, allowing user-space
self-profiling code to extract PMU counts without performing any
system calls, while playing nice with the kernel side.

- 'perf bench' improvements

- ... and lots of internal restructurings, cleanups and fixes that made
these features possible. And, as usual this list is incomplete as
there were also lots of other improvements

uprobes, mm, x86: Add the ability to install and remove uprobes breakpoints

Add uprobes support to the core kernel, with x86 support.

This commit adds the kernel facilities, the actual uprobes
user

uprobes, mm, x86: Add the ability to install and remove uprobes breakpoints

Add uprobes support to the core kernel, with x86 support.

This commit adds the kernel facilities, the actual uprobes
user-space ABI and perf probe support comes in later commits.

General design:

Uprobes are maintained in an rb-tree indexed by inode and offset
(the offset here is from the start of the mapping). For a unique
(inode, offset) tuple, there can be at most one uprobe in the
rb-tree.

Since the (inode, offset) tuple identifies a unique uprobe, more
than one user may be interested in the same uprobe. This provides
the ability to connect multiple 'consumers' to the same uprobe.

Each consumer defines a handler and a filter (optional). The
'handler' is run every time the uprobe is hit, if it matches the
'filter' criteria.

The first consumer of a uprobe causes the breakpoint to be
inserted at the specified address and subsequent consumers are
appended to this list. On subsequent probes, the consumer gets
appended to the existing list of consumers. The breakpoint is
removed when the last consumer unregisters. For all other
unregisterations, the consumer is removed from the list of
consumers.

Given a inode, we get a list of the mms that have mapped the
inode. Do the actual registration if mm maps the page where a
probe needs to be inserted/removed.

We use a temporary list to walk through the vmas that map the
inode.

- The number of maps that map the inode, is not known before we
walk the rmap and keeps changing.
- extending vm_area_struct wasn't recommended, it's a
size-critical data structure.
- There can be more than one maps of the inode in the same mm.

We add callbacks to the mmap methods to keep an eye on text vmas
that are of interest to uprobes. When a vma of interest is mapped,
we insert the breakpoint at the right address.

Uprobe works by replacing the instruction at the address defined
by (inode, offset) with the arch specific breakpoint
instruction. We save a copy of the original instruction at the
uprobed address.

This is needed for:

a. executing the instruction out-of-line (xol).
b. instruction analysis for any subsequent fixups.
c. restoring the instruction back when the uprobe is unregistered.

We insert or delete a breakpoint instruction, and this
breakpoint instruction is assumed to be the smallest instruction
available on the platform. For fixed size instruction platforms
this is trivially true, for variable size instruction platforms
the breakpoint instruction is typically the smallest (often a
single byte).

Writing the instruction is done by COWing the page and changing
the instruction during the copy, this even though most platforms
allow atomic writes of the breakpoint instruction. This also
mirrors the behaviour of a ptrace() memory write to a PRIVATE
file map.

The core worker is derived from KSM's replace_page() logic.

In essence, similar to KSM:

a. allocate a new page and copy over contents of the page that
has the uprobed vaddr
b. modify the copy and insert the breakpoint at the required
address
c. switch the original page with the copy containing the
breakpoint
d. flush page tables.

replace_page() is being replicated here because of some minor
changes in the type of pages and also because Hugh Dickins had
plans to improve replace_page() for KSM specific work.

Instruction analysis on x86 is based on instruction decoder and
determines if an instruction can be probed and determines the
necessary fixups after singlestep. Instruction analysis is done
at probe insertion time so that we avoid having to repeat the
same analysis every time a probe is hit.

A lot of code here is due to the improvement/suggestions/inputs
from Peter Zijlstra.

Changelog:

(v10):
- Add code to clear REX.B prefix as suggested by Denys Vlasenko
and Masami Hiramatsu.

(v9):
- Use insn_offset_modrm as suggested by Masami Hiramatsu.

(v7):

Handle comments from Peter Zijlstra:

- Dont take reference to inode. (expect inode to uprobe_register to be sane).
- Use PTR_ERR to set the return value.
- No need to take reference to inode.
- use PTR_ERR to return error value.
- register and uprobe_unregister share code.

(v5):

- Modified del_consumer as per comments from Peter.
- Drop reference to inode before dropping reference to uprobe.
- Use i_size_read(inode) instead of inode->i_size.
- Ensure uprobe->consumers is NULL, before __uprobe_unregister() is called.
- Includes errno.h as recommended by Stephen Rothwell to fix a build issue
on sparc defconfig
- Remove restrictions while unregistering.
- Earlier code leaked inode references under some conditions while
registering/unregistering.
- Continue the vma-rmap walk even if the intermediate vma doesnt
meet the requirements.
- Validate the vma found by find_vma before inserting/removing the
breakpoint
- Call del_consumer under mutex_lock.
- Use hash locks.
- Handle mremap.
- Introduce find_least_offset_node() instead of close match logic in
find_uprobe
- Uprobes no more depends on MM_OWNER; No reference to task_structs
while inserting/removing a probe.
- Uses read_mapping_page instead of grab_cache_page so that the pages
have valid content.
- pass NULL to get_user_pages for the task parameter.
- call SetPageUptodate on the new page allocated in write_opcode.
- fix leaking a reference to the new page under certain conditions.
- Include Instruction Decoder if Uprobes gets defined.
- Remove const attributes for instruction prefix arrays.
- Uses mm_context to know if the application is 32 bit.
