Per-thread events with a cpu filter, i.e., cpu != -1, were not
reporting correct timings when the thread never ran on the
monitored cpu. The time enabled was reported as a negative
value.
This patch fixes the problem by updating tstamp_stopped,
tstamp_running in event_sched_out() for events with filters and
which are marked as INACTIVE.
The function group_sched_out() is modified to systematically
call into event_sched_out() to avoid duplicating the timing
adjustment code twice.
With the patch, I now get:
$ task_cpu -i -e unhalted_core_cycles,unhalted_core_cycles

It means frame pointers are not necessary anymore to reliably get

Frederic reported that frequency driven swevents didn't work properly
and even caused a division-by-zero error.
It turns out there are two bugs, the division-by-zero comes from a
failure to deal with that in perf_calculate_period().
The other was more interesting and turned out to be a wrong comparison
in perf_adjust_period(). The comparison was between an s64 and u64 and
got implicitly converted to an unsigned comparison. The problem is
that period_left is typically < 0, so it ended up being always true.
Cure this by making the local period variables s64.

Frederic reported that because swevents handling doesn't disable IRQs
anymore, we can get a recursion of perf_adjust_period(), once from
overflow handling and once from the tick.
If both call ->disable, we get a double hlist_del_rcu() and trigger
a LIST_POISON2 dereference.
Since we don't actually need to stop/start a swevent to re-programm
the hardware (lack of hardware to program), simply nop out these
callbacks for the swevent pmu.

The transactional API patch between the generic and model-specific
code introduced several important bugs with event scheduling, at
least on X86. If you had pinned events, e.g., watchdog, and were
over-committing the PMU, you would get bogus counts. The bug was
showing up on Intel CPU because events would move around more
often that on AMD. But the problem also existed on AMD, though
harder to expose.
The issues were:
- group_sched_in() was missing a cancel_txn() in the error path
- cpuc->n_added was not properly maintained, leading to missing
actions in hw_perf_enable(), i.e., n_running being 0. You cannot
update n_added until you know the transaction has succeeded. In
case of failed transaction n_added was not adjusted back.
- in case of failed transactions, event_sched_out() was called
and eventually invoked x86_disable_event() to touch the HW reg.
But with transactions, on X86, event_sched_in() does not touch
HW registers, it simply collects events into a list. Thus, you
could end up calling x86_disable_event() on a counter which
did not correspond to the current event when idx != -1.
The patch modifies the generic and X86 code to avoid all those problems.
First, we keep track of the number of events added last. In case the
transaction fails, we substract them from n_added. This approach is
necessary (as opposed to delaying updates to n_added) because not all
event updates use the transaction API, e.g., single events.
Second, we encapsulate the event_sched_in() and event_sched_out() in
group_sched_in() inside the transaction. That makes the operations
symmetrical and you can also detect that you are inside a transaction
and skip the HW reg access by checking cpuc->group_flag.
With this patch, you can now overcommit the PMU even with pinned
system-wide events present and still get valid counts.

Group siblings don't pin each-other or the parent, so when we destroy
events we must make sure to clean up all cross referencing pointers.
In particular, for destruction of a group leader we must be able to
find all its siblings and remove their reference to it.
This means that detaching an event from its context must not detach it
from the group, otherwise we can end up failing to clear all pointers.
Solve this by clearly separating the attachment to a context and
attachment to a group, and keep the group composed until we destroy
the events.

A writer that gets a reference to the buffer handle disables
preemption. When we put that reference, we check if we are
the outer most writer and if not, we simply return and defer
the head update to the outer most writer. The problem here
is that preemption is only reenabled by the outer most, that
produces preemption count imbalance for every nested writer
that exit.
So just don't forget to always re-enable preemption when we
put the buffer reference, whoever we are.

The software events hlist doesn't fully comply with the new
rcu checks api.
We need to consider three different sides that access the hlist:
- the hlist allocation/release side. This side happens when an
events is created or released, accesses to the hlist are
serialized under the cpuctx mutex.
- the events insertion/removal in the hlist. This side is always
serialized against the above one. The hlist is always present
during such operations. This side happens when a software event
is scheduled in/out. The serialization that ensures the software
event is really attached to the context is made under the
ctx->lock.
- events triggering. This is the read side, it can happen
concurrently with any update side.
This patch deals with them one by one and anticipates with the
separate rcu mem space patches in preparation.
This patch fixes various annoying rcu warnings.

Commit 6bde9b6ce0 ("perf: Add
group scheduling transactional APIs") added code to allow a
group to be scheduled in a single transaction. However, it
introduced a bug in handling events whose pmu does not implement
transactions -- at the end of scheduling in the events in the
group, in the non-transactional case the code now falls through
to the group_error label, and proceeds to unschedule all the
events in the group and return failure.
This fixes it by returning 0 (success) in the non-transactional
case.

Add group scheduling transactional APIs to struct pmu.
These APIs will be implemented in arch code, based on Peter's idea as
below.
> the idea behind hw_perf_group_sched_in() is to not perform
> schedulability tests on each event in the group, but to add the group
> as a whole and then perform one test.
>
> Of course, when that test fails, you'll have to roll-back the whole
> group again.

> So start_txn (or a better name) would simply toggle a flag in the pmu
> implementation that will make pmu::enable() not perform the
> schedulablilty test.
>
> Then commit_txn() will perform the schedulability test (so note the
> method has to have a !void return value.
>
> This will allow us to use the regular
> kernel/perf_event.c::group_sched_in() and all the rollback code.
> Currently each hw_perf_group_sched_in() implementation duplicates all
> the rolllback code (with various bugs).
->start_txn:
Start group events scheduling transaction, set a flag to make
pmu::enable() not perform the schedulability test, it will be performed
at commit time.
->commit_txn:
Commit group events scheduling transaction, perform the group
schedulability as a whole
->cancel_txn:
Stop group events scheduling transaction, clear the flag so
pmu::enable() will perform the schedulability test.

Stephane reported a lockdep warning while using PERF_FORMAT_GROUP.
The issue is that perf_event_read_group() takes faults while holding
the ctx->mutex, while perf_event_release_kernel() can be called from
munmap(). Which makes for an AB-BA deadlock.
Except we can never establish the deadlock because we'll only ever
call perf_event_release_kernel() after all file descriptors are dead
so there is no concurrency possible.

Both Stephane and Corey reported that PERF_FORMAT_GROUP didn't work
as expected if the task the counters were attached to quit before
the read() call.
The cause is that we unconditionally destroy the grouping when we
remove counters from their context. Fix this by only doing this when
we free the counter itself.
