powerpc/perf: Disable pagefaults during callchain stack read
Panic observed on an older kernel when collecting call chains for the context-switch software event: [<b0180e00>]rb_erase+0x1b4/0x3e8 [<b00430f4>]__dequeue_entity+0x50/0xe8 [<b0043304>]set_next_entity+0x178/0x1bc [<b0043440>]pick_next_task_fair+0xb0/0x118 [<b02ada80>]schedule+0x500/0x614 [<b02afaa8>]rwsem_down_failed_common+0xf0/0x264 [<b02afca0>]rwsem_down_read_failed+0x34/0x54 [<b02aed4c>]down_read+0x3c/0x54 [<b0023b58>]do_page_fault+0x114/0x5e8 [<b001e350>]handle_page_fault+0xc/0x80 [<b0022dec>]perf_callchain+0x224/0x31c [<b009ba70>]perf_prepare_sample+0x240/0x2fc [<b009d760>]__perf_event_overflow+0x280/0x398 [<b009d914>]perf_swevent_overflow+0x9c/0x10c [<b009db54>]perf_swevent_ctx_event+0x1d0/0x230 [<b009dc38>]do_perf_sw_event+0x84/0xe4 [<b009dde8>]perf_sw_event_context_switch+0x150/0x1b4 [<b009de90>]perf_event_task_sched_out+0x44/0x2d4 [<b02ad840>]schedule+0x2c0/0x614 [<b0047dc0>]__cond_resched+0x34/0x90 [<b02adcc8>]_cond_resched+0x4c/0x68 [<b00bccf8>]move_page_tables+0xb0/0x418 [<b00d7ee0>]setup_arg_pages+0x184/0x2a0 [<b0110914>]load_elf_binary+0x394/0x1208 [<b00d6e28>]search_binary_handler+0xe0/0x2c4 [<b00d834c>]do_execve+0x1bc/0x268 [<b0015394>]sys_execve+0x84/0xc8 [<b001df10>]ret_from_syscall+0x0/0x3c A page fault occurred walking the callchain while creating a perf sample for the context-switch event. To handle the page fault the mmap_sem is needed, but it is currently held by setup_arg_pages. (setup_arg_pages calls shift_arg_pages with the mmap_sem held. shift_arg_pages then calls move_page_tables which has a cond_resched at the top of its for loop - hitting that cond_resched is what caused the context switch.) This is an extension of Anton's proposed patch: https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/7/24/151 adding case for 32-bit ppc. Tested on the system that first generated the panic and then again with latest kernel using a PPC VM. I am not able to test the 64-bit path - I do not have H/W for it and 64-bit PPC VMs (qemu on Intel) is horribly slow.
