This patch is needed because that PMU uses 32-bit free
running counters with no interrupt capabilities.
On SNB/IVB/HSW, we used 20GB/s theoretical peak to calculate
the hrtimer timeout necessary to avoid missing an overflow.
That delay is set to 5s to be on the cautious side.
The SNB IMC uses free running counters, which are handled
via pseudo fixed counters. The SNB IMC PMU implementation
supports an arbitrary number of events, because the counters
are read-only. Therefore it is not possible to track active
counters. Instead we put active events on a linked list which
is then used by the hrtimer handler to update the SW counts.

This patch makes the hrtimer timeout configurable per PMU
box. Not all counters have necessarily the same width and
rate, thus the default timeout of 60s may need to be adjusted.
This patch adds box->hrtimer_duration. It is set to default
when the box is allocated. It can be overriden when the box
is initialized.

On certain processors, the uncore PMU boxes may only be
msr-bsed or PCI-based. But in both cases, the cpumask,
suggesting on which CPUs to monitor to get full coverage
of the particular PMU, must be created.
However with the current code base, the cpumask was only
created on processor which had at least one MSR-based
uncore PMU. This patch removes that restriction and
ensures the cpumask is created even when there is no
msr-based PMU. For instance, on SNB client where only
a PCI-based memory controller PMU is supported.

It will start spewing to early_printk() (which is a lot nicer to use
from NMI context too) when it fails to queue the IRQ-work because its
already enqueued.
It does have the false-positive for when two CPUs trigger the warn
concurrently, but that should be rare and some extra clutter on the
early printk shouldn't be a problem.

Allow to add events on the local functions without debuginfo.
(With the debuginfo, we can add events even on inlined functions)
Currently, probing on local functions requires debuginfo to
locate actual address. It is also possible without debuginfo since
we have symbol maps.
Without this change;
----
# ./perf probe -a t_show
Added new event:
probe:t_show (on t_show)
You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:
perf record -e probe:t_show -aR sleep 1
# ./perf probe -x perf -a identity__map_ip
no symbols found in /kbuild/ksrc/linux-3/tools/perf/perf, maybe install a debug package?
Failed to load map.
Error: Failed to add events. (-22)
----
As the above results, perf probe just put one event
on the first found symbol for kprobe event. Moreover,
for uprobe event, perf probe failed to find local
functions.
With this change;
----
# ./perf probe -a t_show
Added new events:
probe:t_show (on t_show)
probe:t_show_1 (on t_show)
probe:t_show_2 (on t_show)
probe:t_show_3 (on t_show)
You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:
perf record -e probe:t_show_3 -aR sleep 1
# ./perf probe -x perf -a identity__map_ip
Added new events:
probe_perf:identity__map_ip (on identity__map_ip in /kbuild/ksrc/linux-3/tools/perf/perf)
probe_perf:identity__map_ip_1 (on identity__map_ip in /kbuild/ksrc/linux-3/tools/perf/perf)
probe_perf:identity__map_ip_2 (on identity__map_ip in /kbuild/ksrc/linux-3/tools/perf/perf)
probe_perf:identity__map_ip_3 (on identity__map_ip in /kbuild/ksrc/linux-3/tools/perf/perf)
You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:
perf record -e probe_perf:identity__map_ip_3 -aR sleep 1
----
Now we succeed to put events on every given local functions
for both kprobes and uprobes. :)
Note that this also introduces some symbol rbtree
iteration macros; symbols__for_each, dso__for_each_symbol,
and map__for_each_symbol. These are for walking through
the symbol list in a map.
Changes from v2:
- Fix add_exec_to_probe_trace_events() not to convert address
to tp->symbol any more.
- Fix to set kernel probes based on ref_reloc_sym.

Find the given address from offline dwarfs instead of online kernel
dwarfs.
On the KASLR enabled kernel, the kernel text section is loaded with
random offset, and the debuginfo__new_online_kernel can't handle it. So
let's move to the offline dwarf loader instead of using the online dwarf
loader.
As a result, since we don't need debuginfo__new_online_kernel any more,
this also removes the functions related to that.
Without this change;
# ./perf probe -l
probe:t_show (on _stext+901288 with m v)
probe:t_show_1 (on _stext+939624 with m v t)
probe:t_show_2 (on _stext+980296 with m v fmt)

probe:t_show_2 (on t_show@kernel/trace/trace_printk.c with m v fmt)
probe:t_show_3 (on t_show@kernel/trace/trace_events.c with m v file)
Changes from v2:
- Instead of retrying, directly opens offline dwarf.
- Remove debuginfo__new_online_kernel and related functions.
- Refer map->reloc to get the correct address of a symbol.
- Add a special case for handling ref_reloc_sym based address.

Since several local symbols can have same name (e.g. t_show), we need to
use the relative address from the symbol referred by kmap->ref_reloc_sym
instead of the target symbol name itself.
Because the kernel address space layout randomize (kASLR) changes the
absolute address of kernel symbols, we can't rely on the absolute
address.
Note that this works only with debuginfo.
E.g. without this change;
----
# ./perf probe -a "t_show \$vars"
Added new events:
probe:t_show (on t_show with $vars)
probe:t_show_1 (on t_show with $vars)
probe:t_show_2 (on t_show with $vars)
probe:t_show_3 (on t_show with $vars)
You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:
perf record -e probe:t_show_3 -aR sleep 1
----
OK, we have 4 different t_show()s. All functions have
different arguments as below;
----
# cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events
p:probe/t_show t_show m=%di:u64 v=%si:u64
p:probe/t_show_1 t_show m=%di:u64 v=%si:u64 t=%si:u64
p:probe/t_show_2 t_show m=%di:u64 v=%si:u64 fmt=%si:u64
p:probe/t_show_3 t_show m=%di:u64 v=%si:u64 file=%si:u64
----
However, all of them have been put on the *same* address.
----

# ./perf probe -a "t_show \$vars"
Added new events:

probe:t_show_1 (on t_show with $vars)
probe:t_show_2 (on t_show with $vars)
probe:t_show_3 (on t_show with $vars)
You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:
perf record -e probe:t_show_3 -aR sleep 1
# cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events
p:probe/t_show _stext+889880 m=%di:u64 v=%si:u64

ffffffffb50f4990 k t_show+0x0 [DISABLED]
ffffffffb50eccf0 k t_show+0x0 [DISABLED]
----
This time, each event is put in different address
correctly.
Note that currently this doesn't support address-based
probe on modules (thus the probes on modules are symbol
based), since it requires relative address probe syntax
for kprobe-tracer, and it isn't implemented yet.
One more note, this allows us to put events on correct
address, but --list option should be updated to show
correct corresponding source code.
Changes from v2:
- Refer kmap->ref_reloc_sym instead of "_stext".
- Refer map->reloc to catch up the kASLR perf fix.
Changes from v1:
- Use _stext relative address instead of actual
absolute address recorded in debuginfo.

Remove unneeded symbol check for --list option.
This code actually checks whether the given symbol exists in the kernel.
But this is incorrect for online kernel/module and offline module too:
- For online kernel/module, the kprobes itself already
ensured the symbol exist in the kernel.
- For offline module, this code can't access the offlined
modules. Ignore it.

Some perf-probe commands do symbol_init() but doesn't do exit call.
This fixes that to call symbol_exit() and releases machine if needed.
This also merges init_vmlinux() and init_user_exec() because both of
them are doing similar things. (init_user_exec() just skips init
vmlinux related symbol maps)

"perf list" listing of hardware events doesn't work on older ARM devices.
The change enabling event detection:
commit b41f1cec91
Author: Namhyung Kim <namhyung.kim@lge.com>
Date: Tue Aug 27 11:41:53 2013 +0900
perf list: Skip unsupported events
uses the following code in tools/perf/util/parse-events.c:
struct perf_event_attr attr = {
.type = type,
.config = config,
.disabled = 1,
.exclude_kernel = 1,
};
On ARM machines pre-dating the Cortex-A15 this doesn't work, as these
machines don't support .exclude_kernel. So starting with 3.12 "perf
list" does not report any hardware events at all on older machines (seen
on Rasp-Pi, Pandaboard, Beagleboard, etc).
This version of the patch makes changes suggested by Namhyung Kim to
check for EACCESS and retry (instead of just dropping the
exclude_kernel) so we can properly handle machines where
/proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_paranoid is set to 2.

Fix perf-probe not to add offset value twice to uprobe probe address
when post processing.
The tevs[i].point.address struct member is the address of symbol+offset,
but current perf-probe adjusts the point.address by adding the offset.
As a result, the probe address becomes symbol+offset+offset. This may
cause unexpected code corruption. Urgent fix is needed.
Without this fix:
---
# ./perf probe -x ./perf dso__load_vmlinux+4
# ./perf probe -l
probe_perf:dso__load_vmlinux (on 0x000000000006d2b8)
# nm ./perf.orig | grep dso__load_vmlinux\$
000000000046d0a0 T dso__load_vmlinux
---
You can see the given offset is 3 but the actual probed address is
dso__load_vmlinux+8.
With this fix:
---
# ./perf probe -x ./perf dso__load_vmlinux+4
# ./perf probe -l
probe_perf:dso__load_vmlinux (on 0x000000000006d2b4)
---
Now the problem is fixed.

A bunch of unknown NMIs have popped up on a Pentium4 recently when booting
into a kdump kernel. This was exposed because the watchdog timer went
from 60 seconds down to 10 seconds (increasing the ability to reproduce
this problem).
What is happening is on boot up of the second kernel (the kdump one),
the previous nmi_watchdogs were enabled on thread 0 and thread 1. The
second kernel only initializes one cpu but the perf counter on thread 1
still counts.
Normally in a kdump scenario, the other cpus are blocking in an NMI loop,
but more importantly their local apics have the performance counters disabled
(iow LVTPC is masked). So any counters that fire are masked and never get
through to the second kernel.
However, on a P4 the local apic is shared by both threads and thread1's PMI
(despite being configured to only interrupt thread1) will generate an NMI on
thread0. Because thread0 knows nothing about this NMI, it is seen as an
unknown NMI.
This would be fine because it is a kdump kernel, strange things happen
what is the big deal about a single unknown NMI.
Unfortunately, the P4 comes with another quirk: clearing the overflow bit
to prevent a stream of NMIs. This is the problem.
The kdump kernel can not execute because of the endless NMIs that happen.
To solve this, I instrumented the p4 perf init code, to walk all the counters
and zero them out (just like a normal reset would).
Now when the counters go off, they do not generate anything and no unknown
NMIs are seen.
I tested this on a P4 we have in our lab. After two or three crashes, I could
normally reproduce the problem. Now after 10 crashes, everything continues
to boot correctly.

[ Fixed a stylistic detail. ]

On a P4 box stressing perf with:
./perf record -o perf.data ./perf stat -v ./perf bench all
it was noticed that a slew of unknown NMIs would pop out rather quickly.
Painfully debugging this ancient platform, led me to notice cross cpu counter
corruption.
The P4 machine is special in that it has 18 counters, half are used for cpu0
and the other half is for cpu1 (or all 18 if hyperthreading is disabled). But
the splitting of the counters has to be actively managed by the software.
In this particular bug, one of the cpu0 specific counters was being used by
cpu1 and caused all sorts of random unknown nmis.
I am not entirely sure on the corruption path, but what happens is:
o perf schedules a group with p4_pmu_schedule_events()
o inside p4_pmu_schedule_events(), it notices an hwc pointer is being reused
but for a different cpu, so it 'swaps' the config bits and returns the
updated 'assign' array with a _new_ index.
o perf schedules another group with p4_pmu_schedule_events()
o inside p4_pmu_schedule_events(), it notices an hwc pointer is being reused
(the same one as above) but for the _same_ cpu [BUG!!], so it updates the
'assign' array to use the _old_ (wrong cpu) index because the _new_ index is in
an earlier part of the 'assign' array (and hasn't been committed yet).
o perf commits the transaction using the wrong index and corrupts the other cpu
The [BUG!!] is because the 'hwc->config' is updated but not the 'hwc->idx'. So
the check for 'p4_should_swap_ts()' is correct the first time around but
incorrect the second time around (because hwc->config was updated in between).
I think the spirit of perf was to not modify anything until all the
transactions had a chance to 'test' if they would succeed, and if so, commit
atomically. However, P4 breaks this spirit by touching the hwc->config
element.
So my fix is to continue the un-perf like breakage, by assigning hwc->idx to -1
on swap to tell follow up group scheduling to find a new index.
Of course if the transaction fails rolling this back will be difficult, but
that is not different than how the current code works. :-) And I wasn't sure
how much effort to cleanup the code I should do for a platform that is almost
10 years old by now.
Hence the lazy fix.
