Pull new ImgTec Meta architecture from James Hogan:
 "This adds core architecture support for Imagination's Meta processor
  cores, followed by some later miscellaneous arch/metag cleanups and
  fixes which I kept separate to ease review:

   - Support for basic Meta 1 (ATP) and Meta 2 (HTP) core architecture
   - A few fixes all over, particularly for symbol prefixes
   - A few privilege protection fixes
   - Several cleanups (setup.c includes, split out a lot of
     metag_ksyms.c)
   - Fix some missing exports
   - Convert hugetlb to use vm_unmapped_area()
   - Copy device tree to non-init memory
   - Provide dma_get_sgtable()"

Define rmb(), cpu_relax(), and CPUINFO_PROC for Meta so that the perf
tools can be built for Meta.

Merge tag 'arc-v3.9-rc1-late' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vgupta/arc

2013-03-02T15:58:56+00:00

Pull new ARC architecture from Vineet Gupta:
 "Initial ARC Linux port with some fixes on top for 3.9-rc1:

  I would like to introduce the Linux port to ARC Processors (from
  Synopsys) for 3.9-rc1.  The patch-set has been discussed on the public
  lists since Nov and has received a fair bit of review, specially from
  Arnd, tglx, Al and other subsystem maintainers for DeviceTree, kgdb...

  The arch bits are in arch/arc, some asm-generic changes (acked by
  Arnd), a minor change to PARISC (acked by Helge).

  The series is a touch bigger for a new port for 2 main reasons:

   1. It enables a basic kernel in first sub-series and adds
      ptrace/kgdb/.. later

   2. Some of the fallout of review (DeviceTree support, multi-platform-
      image support) were added on top of orig series, primarily to
      record the revision history.

  This updated pull request additionally contains

   - fixes due to our GNU tools catching up with the new syscall/ptrace
     ABI

   - some (minor) cross-arch Kconfig updates."

perf evlist: Make event_copy local to mmaps

2013-02-06T21:09:26+00:00

I am getting segfaults *after* the time sorting of perf samples where
the event type is off the charts:

(gdb) bt
\#0  0x0807b1b2 in hists__inc_nr_events (hists=0x80a99c4, type=1163281902) at util/hist.c:1225
\#1  0x08070795 in perf_session_deliver_event (session=0x80a9b90, event=0xf7a6aff8, sample=0xffffc318, tool=0xffffc520,
    file_offset=0) at util/session.c:884
\#2  0x0806f9b9 in flush_sample_queue (s=0x80a9b90, tool=0xffffc520) at util/session.c:555
\#3  0x0806fc53 in process_finished_round (tool=0xffffc520, event=0x0, session=0x80a9b90) at util/session.c:645

This is bizarre because the event has already been processed once --
before it was added to the samples queue -- and the event was found to
be sane at that time.

There seem to be 2 causes:

1. perf_evlist__mmap_read updates the read location even though there
are outstanding references to events sitting in the mmap buffers via the
ordered samples queue.

2. There is a single evlist->event_copy for all evlist entries.
event_copy is used to handle an event wrapping at the mmap buffer
boundary.

This patch addresses the second problem - making event_copy local to
each perf_mmap. With this change my highly repeatable use case no longer
fails.

The first problem is much more complicated and will be the subject of a
future patch.

It is used by util/help.c so it should be a lib function and included in

perf: Make perf build for x86 with UAPI disintegration applied

2012-11-19T22:21:03+00:00

Make perf build for x86 once the UAPI disintegration patches for that arch
have been applied by adding the appropriate -I flags - in the right order -
and then converting some #includes that use ../.. notation to find main kernel
headerfiles to use  and  instead.

Note that -Iarch/foo/include/uapi is present _before_ -Iarch/foo/include.
This makes sure we get the userspace version of the pt_regs struct.  Ideally,
we wouldn't have the latter -I flag at all, but unfortunately we want
asm/svm.h and asm/vmx.h in builtin-kvm.c and these aren't part of the UAPI -
at least not for x86.  I wonder if the bits outside of the __KERNEL__ guards
*should* be transferred there.

I note also that perf seems to do its dependency handling manually by listing
all the header files it might want to use in LIB_H in the Makefile.  Can this
be changed to use -MD?

Note that to do make this work, we need to export and UAPI disintegrate
linux/hw_breakpoint.h, which I think should've been exported previously so that
perf can access the bits.  We have to do this in the same patch to maintain
bisectability.
