6ab8886326 perf: hw_breakpoints: Fix percpu namespace clash
Today's linux-next build failed with:

  kernel/hw_breakpoint.c:86: error: 'task_bp_pinned' redeclared as different kind of symbol
  ...

Caused by commit dd17c8f729 ("percpu:
remove per_cpu__ prefix") from the percpu tree interacting with
commit 56053170ea ("hw-breakpoints:
Fix task-bound breakpoint slot allocation") from the tip tree.

56053170ea hw-breakpoints: Fix task-bound breakpoint slot allocation
Whatever the context nature of a breakpoint, we always perform the
following constraint checks before allocating it a slot:

- Check the number of pinned breakpoint bound the concerned cpus
- Check the max number of task-bound breakpoints that are belonging
  to a task.
- Add both and see if we have a reamining slot for the new breakpoint

This is the right thing to do when we are about to register a cpu-only
bound breakpoint. But not if we are dealing with a task bound
breakpoint. What we want in this case is:

- Check the number of pinned breakpoint bound the concerned cpus
- Check the number of breakpoints that already belong to the task
  in which the breakpoint to register is bound to.
- Add both

This fixes a regression that makes the "firefox -g" command fail to
register breakpoints once we deal with a secondary thread.

b326e9560a hw-breakpoints: Use overflow handler instead of the event callback
struct perf_event::event callback was called when a breakpoint
triggers. But this is a rather opaque callback, pretty
tied-only to the breakpoint API and not really integrated into perf
as it triggers even when we don't overflow.

We prefer to use overflow_handler() as it fits into the perf events
rules, being called only when we overflow.

dd1853c3f4 hw-breakpoints: Use struct perf_event_attr to define kernel breakpoints
Kernel breakpoints are created using functions in which we pass
breakpoint parameters as individual variables: address, length
and type.

Although it fits well for x86, this just does not scale across
architectures that may support this api later as these may have
more or different needs. Pass in a perf_event_attr structure
instead because it is meant to evolve as much as possible into
a generic hardware breakpoint parameter structure.

b2e74a265d perf_events: Fix read() bogus counts when in error state
When a pinned group cannot be scheduled it goes into error state.

Normally a group cannot go out of error state without being
explicitly re-enabled or disabled. There was a bug in per-thread
mode, whereby upon termination of the thread, the group would
transition from error to off leading to bogus counts and timing
information returned by read().

Fix it by clearing the error state.

c6567f642e hw-breakpoints: Improve in-kernel event creation error granularity
In fail case, perf_event_create_kernel_counter() returns NULL
instead of an error, which doesn't help us to inform the user
about the origin of the problem from the outer most callers.
Often we can just return -EINVAL, which doesn't help anyone when
it's eventually about a memory allocation failure.

Then, this patch makes perf_event_create_kernel_counter() always
return a detailed error code.

d99be40aff ksym_tracer: Fix breakpoint removal after modification
The error path of a breakpoint modification is broken in
the ksym tracer. A modified breakpoint hlist node is immediately
released after its removal. Also we leak a breakpoint in this
case.

Fix the path.

Commit 4ed7c92d68

f5ffe02e50 perf: Add kernel side syscall events support for breakpoints
Add the remaining necessary bits to support breakpoints created
through perf syscall.

We don't use the software counter interface as:

- We don't need to check against recursion, this is already done
  in hardware breakpoints arch level.

- We already know the perf event we are dealing with when the
  event is to be committed.

fdf6bc9522 hw-breakpoints: Check the breakpoint params from perf tools
Perf tools create perf events as disabled in the beginning.
Breakpoints are then considered like ptrace temporary
breakpoints, only meant to reserve a breakpoint slot until we
get all the necessary informations from the user.

In this case, we don't check the address that is breakpointed as
it is NULL in the ptrace case.

But perf tools don't have the same purpose, events are created
disabled to wait for all events to be created before enabling
all of them. We want to check the breakpoint parameters in this
case.

acd1d7c1f8 perf_events: Restore sanity to scaling land
It is quite possible to call update_event_times() on a context
that isn't actually running and thereby confuse the thing.

perf stat was reporting !100% scale values for software counters
(2e2af50b perf_events: Disable events when we detach them,
solved the worst of that, but there was still some left).

The thing that happens is that because we are not self-reaping
(we have a caring parent) there is a time between the last
schedule (out) and having do_exit() called which will detach the
events.

This period would be accounted as enabled,!running because the
event->state==INACTIVE, even though !event->ctx->is_active.

Similar issues could have been observed by calling read() on a
event while the attached task was not scheduled in.

Solve this by teaching update_event_times() about
ctx->is_active.

a4234bfcf4 perf_events: Optimize the swcounter hotpath
The structure init creates a bit memcpy, which shows
up big time in perf annotate output:

          :      ffffffff810a859d <__perf_sw_event>:
     1.68 :      ffffffff810a859d:       55                      push   %rbp

     1.71 :      ffffffff810a85a6:       b9 16 00 00 00          mov    $0x16,%ecx

     1.52 :      ffffffff810a85b2:       48 8d 7d a0             lea    -0x60(%rbp),%rdi

None of the callees depends on the structure being pre-initialized,
so only initialize ->addr. This gets rid of the memcpy overhead.

96b02d78a7 perf_event: Remove redundant zero fill
The buffer is first zeroed out by memset(). Then strncpy() is
used to fill the content. The strncpy() function also pads the
string till the end of the specified length, which is redundant.
The strncpy() does not ensures that the string will be properly
closed with 0. Use strlcpy() instead.

The semantic match that finds this kind of pattern is as
follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)

// <smpl>
@@
expression buffer;
expression size;
expression str;
@@
	memset(buffer, 0, size);
	...

	);

expression size;
expression str;

	memset(&buffer, 0, size);
	...
-	strncpy(
+	strlcpy(
	&buffer, str, sizeof(buffer));
@@
expression buffer;
identifier field;

expression str;

	memset(buffer, 0, size);

ce71b9df88 tracing: Use the perf recursion protection from trace event
When we commit a trace to perf, we first check if we are
recursing in the same buffer so that we don't mess-up the buffer
with a recursing trace. But later on, we do the same check from
perf to avoid commit recursion. The recursion check is desired
early before we touch the buffer but we want to do this check
only once.

Then export the recursion protection from perf and use it from
the trace events before submitting a trace.
