Change logs against Andi's original version:
- Extends perf_event_attr:config to config{,1,2} (Peter Zijlstra)
- Fixed a major event scheduling issue. There cannot be a ref++ on an
event that has already done ref++ once and without calling
put_constraint() in between. (Stephane Eranian)
- Use thread_cpumask for percore allocation. (Lin Ming)
- Use MSR names in the extra reg lists. (Lin Ming)
- Remove redundant "c = NULL" in intel_percore_constraints
- Fix comment of perf_event_attr::config1
Intel Nehalem/Westmere have a special OFFCORE_RESPONSE event
that can be used to monitor any offcore accesses from a core.
This is a very useful event for various tunings, and it's
also needed to implement the generic LLC-* events correctly.
Unfortunately this event requires programming a mask in a separate
register. And worse this separate register is per core, not per
CPU thread.
This patch:
- Teaches perf_events that OFFCORE_RESPONSE needs extra parameters.
The extra parameters are passed by user space in the
perf_event_attr::config1 field.
- Adds support to the Intel perf_event core to schedule per
core resources. This adds fairly generic infrastructure that
can be also used for other per core resources.
The basic code has is patterned after the similar AMD northbridge
constraints code.
Thanks to Stephane Eranian who pointed out some problems
in the original version and suggested improvements.

This kernel patch adds the ability to filter monitoring based on
container groups (cgroups). This is for use in per-cpu mode only.
The cgroup to monitor is passed as a file descriptor in the pid
argument to the syscall. The file descriptor must be opened to
the cgroup name in the cgroup filesystem. For instance, if the
cgroup name is foo and cgroupfs is mounted in /cgroup, then the
file descriptor is opened to /cgroup/foo. Cgroup mode is
activated by passing PERF_FLAG_PID_CGROUP in the flags argument
to the syscall.
For instance to measure in cgroup foo on CPU1 assuming
cgroupfs is mounted under /cgroup:
struct perf_event_attr attr;
int cgroup_fd, fd;
cgroup_fd = open("/cgroup/foo", O_RDONLY);
fd = perf_event_open(&attr, cgroup_fd, 1, -1, PERF_FLAG_PID_CGROUP);
close(cgroup_fd);

Simple sysfs emumeration of the PMUs.
Use a "event_source" bus, and add PMU devices using their name.
Each PMU device has a type attribute which contrains the value needed
for perf_event_attr::type to identify this PMU.
This is the minimal stub needed to start using this interface,
we'll consider extending the sysfs usage later.

This patch corrects time tracking in samples. Without this patch
both time_enabled and time_running are bogus when user asks for
PERF_SAMPLE_READ.
One uses PERF_SAMPLE_READ to sample the values of other counters
in each sample. Because of multiplexing, it is necessary to know
both time_enabled, time_running to be able to scale counts correctly.
In this second version of the patch, we maintain a shadow
copy of ctx->time which allows us to compute ctx->time without
calling update_context_time() from NMI context. We avoid the
issue that update_context_time() must always be called with
ctx->lock held.
We do not keep shadow copies of the other event timings
because if the lead event is overflowing then it is active
and thus it's been scheduled in via event_sched_in() in
which case neither tstamp_stopped, tstamp_running can be modified.
This timing logic only applies to samples when PERF_SAMPLE_READ
is used.
Note that this patch does not address timing issues related
to sampling inheritance between tasks. This will be addressed
in a future patch.
With this patch, the libpfm4 example task_smpl now reports
correct counts (shown on 2.4GHz Core 2):

Provide a mechanism that allows running code in IRQ context. It is
most useful for NMI code that needs to interact with the rest of the
system -- like wakeup a task to drain buffers.
Perf currently has such a mechanism, so extract that and provide it as
a generic feature, independent of perf so that others may also
benefit.
The IRQ context callback is generated through self-IPIs where
possible, or on architectures like powerpc the decrementer (the
built-in timer facility) is set to generate an interrupt immediately.
Architectures that don't have anything like this get to do with a
callback from the timer tick. These architectures can call
irq_work_run() at the tail of any IRQ handlers that might enqueue such
work (like the perf IRQ handler) to avoid undue latencies in
processing the work.

The kernel perf event creation path shouldn't use find_task_by_vpid()
because a vpid exists in a specific namespace. find_task_by_vpid() uses
current's pid namespace which isn't always the correct namespace to use
for the vpid in all the places perf_event_create_kernel_counter() (and
thus find_get_context()) is called.
The goal is to clean up pid namespace handling and prevent bugs like:
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=17281
Instead of using pids switch find_get_context() to use task struct
pointers directly. The syscall is responsible for resolving the pid to
a task struct. This moves the pid namespace resolution into the syscall
much like every other syscall that takes pid parameters.

Replace pmu::{enable,disable,start,stop,unthrottle} with
pmu::{add,del,start,stop}, all of which take a flags argument.
The new interface extends the capability to stop a counter while
keeping it scheduled on the PMU. We replace the throttled state with
the generic stopped state.
This also allows us to efficiently stop/start counters over certain
code paths (like IRQ handlers).
It also allows scheduling a counter without it starting, allowing for
a generic frozen state (useful for rotating stopped counters).
The stopped state is implemented in two different ways, depending on
how the architecture implemented the throttled state:
1) We disable the counter:
a) the pmu has per-counter enable bits, we flip that
b) we program a NOP event, preserving the counter state
2) We store the counter state and ignore all read/overflow events

Now that software events don't have interrupt disabled anymore in
the event path, callchains can nest on any context. So seperating
nmi and others contexts in two buffers has become racy.
Fix this by providing one buffer per nesting level. Given the size
of the callchain entries (2040 bytes * 4), we now need to allocate
them dynamically.
v2: Fixed put_callchain_entry call after recursion.
Fix the type of the recursion, it must be an array.
v3: Use a manual pr cpu allocation (temporary solution until NMIs
can safely access vmalloc'ed memory).
Do a better separation between callchain reference tracking and
allocation. Make the "put" path lockless for non-release cases.
v4: Protect the callchain buffers with rcu.
v5: Do the cpu buffers allocations node affine.

- Most archs use one callchain buffer per cpu, except x86 that needs
to deal with NMIs. Provide a default perf_callchain_buffer()
implementation that x86 overrides.
- Centralize all the kernel/user regs handling and invoke new arch
handlers from there: perf_callchain_user() / perf_callchain_kernel()
That avoid all the user_mode(), current->mm checks and so...
- Invert some parameters in perf_callchain_*() helpers: entry to the
left, regs to the right, following the traditional (dst, src).

callchain_store() is the same on every archs, inline it in
perf_event.h and rename it to perf_callchain_store() to avoid
any collision.
This removes repetitive code.

"struct regs" was set to argument of perf_arch_fetch_caller_regs
off-case. It should be "struct pt_regs".
This fixes various build errors in archs that have CONFIG_PERF_EVENTS=y
but no overriden implementation of perf_arch_fetch_caller_regs.

Freeing a perf event can happen in several ways. A task
calls perf_event_exit_task() right before exiting. This helper
will detach all the events from the task context and queue their
removal through free_event() if they are child tasks. The task
also loses its context reference there.
Releasing the breakpoint slot from the constraint table is made
from free_event() that calls release_bp_slot(). We count the number
of breakpoints this task is running by looking at the task's
perf_event_ctxp and iterating through its attached events.
But at this time, the reference to this context has been cleaned up
already.
So looking at the event->ctx instead of task->perf_event_ctxp
to count the remaining breakpoints should solve the problem.
At least it would for child breakpoints, but not for parent ones.
If the parent exits before the child, it will remove all its
events from the context but free_event() will be called later,
on fd release time. And checking the number of breakpoints the
task has attached to its context at this time is unreliable as all
events have been removed from the context.
To solve this, we keep track of the list of per task breakpoints.
On top of it, we maintain our array of numbers of breakpoints used
by the tasks. We use the context address as a task id.
So, instead of looking at the number of events attached to a context,
we walk through our list of per task breakpoints and count the number
of breakpoints that use the same ctx than the one to be reserved or
released from the constraint table, and update the count on top of this
result.
In the meantime it solves a bad refcounting, it also solves a warning,
reported by Paul.

The local64.h include dependency was not dependent on PERF_EVENT=y,
which meant that arch's without atomic64_t support ended up including
it and failed to build.
