2014-02-18rcutorture: Flag tests requiring more CPUs than are availablePaul E. McKenney
This commit adds a "(!)" flag after the number of CPUs required by a given test if that test requires more than the available number of CPUs. Note that these flags appear only when the number of CPUs is specified using the --cpus argument. In the absence of a --cpus argument, no tests are flagged. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

2014-02-18rcutorture: Do better bin packingPaul E. McKenney
Running the standard set of rcutorture tests on 24 CPUs results in the following sub-optimal schedule: ----start batch---- TREE07 16 ----start batch---- TREE08 16 SRCU-P 8 ----start batch---- TREE01 8 TREE02 8 TREE03 8 ----start batch---- TREE04 8 TREE05 8 TREE06 8 ----start batch---- SRCU-N 4 TINY01 1 TINY02 1 TREE09 1 If one of the eight-CPU runs were to be moved into the first batch, the test suite would complete in four batches rather than five. This commit therefore uses a greedy algorithm to re-order the test entries so that the sequential batching will produce an optimal schedule in this case: ----start batch---- TREE07 16 SRCU-P 8 ----start batch---- TREE08 16 TREE01 8 ----start batch---- TREE02 8 TREE03 8 TREE04 8 ----start batch---- TREE05 8 TREE06 8 SRCU-N 4 TINY01 1 TINY02 1 TREE09 1 Please note that this is still not an optimal bin-packing algorithm, however, it does produce optimal solutions for most common scenarios.

2014-02-18rcutorture: Add dryrun capabilityPaul E. McKenney
Actual rcutorture tests take considerable time and machine resources, so it is inconvenient to actually do an rcutorture run when optimizing the bin-packing algorithm. This commit therefore adds a --dryrun argument, which defaults to doing a run, but for which "sched" says to simply print the run schedule and "script" dumps the script without running it.

2014-02-18rcutorture: Enable concurrent rcutorture runsPaul E. McKenney
The rcutorture tests run by default range from using one CPU to using sixteen of them. Therefore, rcutorture testing could be sped up significantly simply by running the kernels in parallel. Building them in parallel is not all that helpful: "make -j" is usually a better bet. So this commit takes a new "--cpus" argument that specifies how many CPUs rcutorture is permitted to use for its parallel runs. The default of zero does sequential runs as before. The bin-packing is minimal, and will be grossly suboptimal for some configurations. However, powers of two work reasonably well. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

2014-02-18rcutorture: Reduce SRCU-N number of CPUsPaul E. McKenney
Both SRCU-P and SRCU-N specify eight CPUs, which results in four iterations for a parallel run on 32 CPUs.

2014-02-18rcutorture: Allow kvm-test-1-rcu.sh to pause after buildPaul E. McKenney
Parallel rcutorture runs is valuable on large systems, but it is not a good idea to do (say) five builds in parallel if each build believes it has the whole system at its disposal, especially if the system is shared. It is also bad to restrict the build to (say) a single CPU just because the corresponding rcutorture run uses only a single CPU. This commit therefore adds a kvm-test-1-rcu.sh ability to pause after the build completes, which will allow kvm.sh to do a number of builds serially (with each build thus having the full system at its disposal), then allow the rcutorture runs to proceed in parallel.

Sometime problems can manifest themselves as unusually slow grace periods. This commit therefore prints the number of rcutorture updates during the test and the number per second. These statistics are harvested from the config.out and qemu-cmd files, and are silently omitted if these files are not available, as would be the case if there was a build failure or a boot-time hang.

2014-01-31perf tools: Fix include for non x86 architecturesFrancesco Fusco
Commit 71ae8aac ("lib: introduce arch optimized hash library") added an include to <linux/hash.h> for setting up an architecture specific fast hash. Since perf includes directly the non-uapi kernel header, it cannot find <asm/hash.h> on non-x86 and thus prevents perf to be compiled on every architecture other than x86. The problem is the inclusion of <asm/hash.h> in hash.h that results in the following error originating from util/evlist.c: fatal error: asm/hash.h: No such file or directory This commit simply adds an empty <asm/hash.h> stub/file to fix the compile issue on non-x86 architectures. As perf does not use any of these new functions, it fixes the compilation and therefore seems to be the most appropriate solution to go with.

The most visible change is probably that we will create struct acpi_device objects (visible in sysfs) for all devices represented in the ACPI tables regardless of their status and there will be a new sysfs attribute under those objects allowing user space to check that status via _STA. Consequently, ACPI device eject or generally hot-removal will not delete those objects, unless the table containing the corresponding namespace nodes is unloaded, which is extremely rare. Also ACPI container hotplug will be handled quite a bit differently and cpufreq will support CPU boost ("turbo") generically and not only in the acpi-cpufreq driver. Specifics: - ACPI core changes to make it create a struct acpi_device object for every device represented in the ACPI tables during all namespace scans regardless of the current status of that device. In accordance with this, ACPI hotplug operations will not delete those objects, unless the underlying ACPI tables go away. - On top of the above, new sysfs attribute for ACPI device objects allowing user space to check device status by triggering the execution of _STA for its ACPI object. From Srinivas Pandruvada. - ACPI core hotplug changes reducing code duplication, integrating the PCI root hotplug with the core and reworking container hotplug. - ACPI core simplifications making it use ACPI_COMPANION() in the code "glueing" ACPI device objects to "physical" devices. - ACPICA update to upstream version 20131218. This adds support for the DBG2 and PCCT tables to ACPICA, fixes some bugs and improves debug facilities. From Bob Moore, Lv Zheng and Betty Dall. - Init code change to carry out the early ACPI initialization earlier. That should allow us to use ACPI during the timekeeping initialization and possibly to simplify the EFI initialization too. From Chun-Yi Lee. - Clenups of the inclusions of ACPI headers in many places all over from Lv Zheng and Rashika Kheria (work in progress). - New helper for ACPI _DSM execution and rework of the code in drivers that uses _DSM to execute it via the new helper.

2014-01-24test: check copy_to/from_user boundary validationKees Cook
To help avoid an architecture failing to correctly check kernel/user boundaries when handling copy_to_user, copy_from_user, put_user, or get_user, perform some simple tests and fail to load if any of them behave unexpectedly. Specifically, this is to make sure there is a way to notice if things like what was fixed in commit 8404663f81d2 ("ARM: 7527/1: uaccess: explicitly check __user pointer when !CPU_USE_DOMAINS") ever regresses again, for any architecture. Additionally, adds new "user" selftest target, which loads this module.

2014-01-23perf symbols: Load map before using map->map_ip()Masami Hiramatsu
In map_groups__find_symbol() map->map_ip is used without ensuring the map is loaded. Then the address passed to map->map_ip isn't mapped at the first time. E.g. below code always fails to get a symbol at the first call; addr = /* Somewhere in the kernel text */ symbol_conf.try_vmlinux_path = true; symbol__init(); host_machine = machine__new_host(); sym = machine__find_kernel_function(host_machine, addr, NULL, NULL); /* Note that machine__find_kernel_function calls map_groups__find_symbol */ This ensures it by calling map__load before using it in map_groups__find_symbol().

2014-01-23perf tools: Fix traceevent plugin path definitionsJosh Boyer
The plugindir_SQ definition contains $(prefix) which is not needed as the $(libdir) definition already contains prefix in it. This leads to the path including an extra prefix in it, e.g. /usr/usr/lib64. The -DPLUGIN_DIR defintion includes DESTDIR. This is incorrect, as it sets the plugin search path to include the value of DESTDIR. DESTDIR is a mechanism to install in a non-standard location such as a chroot or an RPM build root. In the RPM case, this leads to the search path being incorrect after the resulting RPM is installed (or in some cases an RPM build failure). Remove both of these unnecessary inclusions.

2014-01-21perf symbols: Fix JIT symbol resolution on heapNamhyung Kim
Gaurav reported that perf cannot profile JIT program if it executes the code on heap. This was because current map__new() only handle JIT on anon mappings - extends it to handle no_dso (heap, stack) case too. This patch assumes JIT profiling only provides dynamic function symbols so check the mapping type to distinguish the case. It'd provide no symbols for data mapping - if we need to support symbols on data mappings later it should be changed.

2014-01-20perf stat: Fix memory corruption of xyarray when cpumask is usedStephane Eranian
This patch fixes a memory corruption problem with the xyarray when the evsel fds get closed at the end of the run_perf_stat() call. It could be triggered with: # perf stat -a -e power/energy-cores/ ls When cpumask are used by events (.e.g, RAPL or uncores) then the evsel fds are allocated based on the actual number of CPUs monitored. That number can be smaller than the total number of CPUs on the system. The problem arises at the end by perf stat closes the fds twice. When fds are closed, their entry in the xyarray are set to -1. The first close() on the evsel is made from __run_perf_stat() and it uses the actual number of CPUS for the event which is how the xyarray was allocated for. The second is from perf_evlist_close() but that one is on the total number of CPUs in the system, so it assume the xyarray was allocated to cover it. However it was not, and some writes corrupt memory. The fix is in perf_evlist_close() is to first try with the evsel->cpus if present, if not use the evlist->cpus. That fixes the problem.
