      perf/x86: Allow zero PEBS status with only single active event · 01330d72
      Andi Kleen authored 
      

Normally we drop PEBS events with a zero status field. But when
there is only a single PEBS event active we can assume the
PEBS record is for that event. The PEBS buffer is always flushed
when PEBS events are disabled, so there is no risk of mishandling
state PEBS records this way.

      perf/x86: Remove warning for zero PEBS status · 957ea1fd
      Andi Kleen authored 
      

The recent commit:

  75f80859 ("perf/x86/intel/pebs: Robustify PEBS buffer drain")

causes lots of warnings on different CPUs before Skylake
when running PEBS intensive workloads.

They can have a zero status field in the PEBS record when
PEBS is racing with clearing of GLOBAl_STATUS.

This also can cause hangs (it seems there are still
problems with printk in NMI).

Disable the warning, but still ignore the record.

      perf/core: Collapse more IPI loops · 7b648018
      Peter Zijlstra authored 
      

This patch collapses the two 'hard' cases, which are
perf_event_{dis,en}able().

I cannot seem to convince myself the current code is correct.

So starting with perf_event_disable(); we don't strictly need to test
for event->state == ACTIVE, ctx->is_active is enough. If the event is
not scheduled while the ctx is, __perf_event_disable() still does the
right thing.  Its a little less efficient to IPI in that case,
over-all simpler.

For perf_event_enable(); the same goes, but I think that's actually
broken in its current form. The current condition is: ctx->is_active
&& event->state == OFF, that means it doesn't do anything when
!ctx->active && event->state == OFF. This is wrong, it should still
mark the event INACTIVE in that case, otherwise we'll still not try
and schedule the event once the context becomes active again.

This patch implements the two function using the new
event_function_call() and does away with the tricky event->state
tests.

      perf: Fix race in swevent hash · 12ca6ad2
      Peter Zijlstra authored 
      

There's a race on CPU unplug where we free the swevent hash array
while it can still have events on. This will result in a
use-after-free which is BAD.

Simply do not free the hash array on unplug. This leaves the thing
around and no use-after-free takes place.

When the last swevent dies, we do a for_each_possible_cpu() iteration
anyway to clean these up, at which time we'll free it, so no leakage
will occur.

Which is a WARN_ON_ONCE() indicating that cpuctx->task_ctx is not
what we expected it to be.

This is because context switches can swap the task_struct::perf_event_ctxp[]
pointer around. Therefore you have to either disable preemption when looking
at current, or hold ctx->lock.

Fix perf_event_enable_on_exec(), it loads current->perf_event_ctxp[]
before disabling interrupts, therefore a preemption in the right place
can swap contexts around and we're using the wrong one.
