<title>perf: Fix AUX buffer refcounting</title>

Its currently possible to drop the last refcount to the aux buffer
from NMI context, which results in the expected fireworks.

The refcounting needs a bigger overhaul, but to cure the immediate
problem, delay the freeing by using an irq_work.

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
 "This patch series contains several clean ups and even a new trace
  clock "monitonic raw".  Also some enhancements to make the ring buffer
  even faster.  But the biggest and most noticeable change is the
  renaming of the ftrace* files, structures and variables that have to
  deal with trace events.

  Over the years I've had several developers tell me about their
  confusion with what ftrace is compared to events.  Technically,
  "ftrace" is the infrastructure to do the function hooks, which include
  tracing and also helps with live kernel patching.  But the trace
  events are a separate entity altogether, and the files that affect the
  trace events should not be named "ftrace".  These include:

    include/trace/ftrace.h         -&gt;    include/trace/trace_events.h
    include/linux/ftrace_event.h   -&gt;    include/linux/trace_events.h

  Also, functions that are specific for trace events have also been renamed:

    ftrace_print_*()               -&gt;    trace_print_*()
    (un)register_ftrace_event()    -&gt;    (un)register_trace_event()
    ftrace_event_name()            -&gt;    trace_event_name()
    ftrace_trigger_soft_disabled() -&gt;    trace_trigger_soft_disabled()
    ftrace_define_fields_##call()  -&gt;    trace_define_fields_##call()
    ftrace_get_offsets_##call()    -&gt;    trace_get_offsets_##call()

  Structures have been renamed:

    ftrace_event_file              -&gt;    trace_event_file
    ftrace_event_{call,class}      -&gt;    trace_event_{call,class}
    ftrace_event_buffer            -&gt;    trace_event_buffer
    ftrace_subsystem_dir           -&gt;    trace_subsystem_dir
    ftrace_event_raw_##call        -&gt;    trace_event_raw_##call
    ftrace_event_data_offset_##call-&gt;    trace_event_data_offset_##call
    ftrace_event_type_funcs_##call -&gt;    trace_event_type_funcs_##call

  And a few various variables and flags have also been updated.

  This has been sitting in linux-next for some time, and I have not
  heard a single complaint about this rename breaking anything.  Mostly
  because these functions, variables and structures are mostly internal
  to the tracing system and are seldom (if ever) used by anything
  external to that"

* tag 'trace-v4.2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace: (33 commits)
  ring_buffer: Allow to exit the ring buffer benchmark immediately
  ring-buffer-benchmark: Fix the wrong type

  ring-buffer: Allways do the trace_recursive checks

Pull timer updates from Thomas Gleixner:
 "A rather largish update for everything time and timer related:

   - Cache footprint optimizations for both hrtimers and timer wheel

   - Lower the NOHZ impact on systems which have NOHZ or timer migration
     disabled at runtime.

   - Optimize run time overhead of hrtimer interrupt by making the clock
     offset updates smarter

   - hrtimer cleanups and removal of restrictions to tackle some
     problems in sched/perf

   - Some more leap second tweaks

   - Another round of changes addressing the 2038 problem

   - First step to change the internals of clock event devices by
     introducing the necessary infrastructure

   - Allow constant folding for usecs/msecs_to_jiffies()

   - The usual pile of clockevent/clocksource driver updates

  The hrtimer changes contain updates to sched, perf and x86 as they
  depend on them plus changes all over the tree to cleanup API changes
  and redundant code, which got copied all over the place.  The y2038
  changes touch s390 to remove the last non 2038 safe code related to
  boot/persistant clock"

Pull perf updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "Kernel side changes mostly consist of work on x86 PMU drivers:

   - x86 Intel PT (hardware CPU tracer) improvements (Alexander
     Shishkin)

   - x86 Intel CQM (cache quality monitoring) improvements (Thomas
     Gleixner)

   - x86 Intel PEBSv3 support (Peter Zijlstra)

   - x86 Intel PEBS interrupt batching support for lower overhead
     sampling (Zheng Yan, Kan Liang)

   - x86 PMU scheduler fixes and improvements (Peter Zijlstra)

  There's too many tooling improvements to list them all - here are a
  few select highlights:

  'perf bench':

      - Introduce new 'perf bench futex' benchmark: 'wake-parallel', to
        measure parallel waker threads generating contention for kernel
        locks (hb-&gt;lock). (Davidlohr Bueso)

  'perf top', 'perf report':

      - Allow disabling/enabling events dynamicaly in 'perf top':
        a 'perf top' session can instantly become a 'perf report'
        one, i.e. going from dynamic analysis to a static one,
        returning to a dynamic one is possible, to toogle the
        modes, just press 'f' to 'freeze/unfreeze' the sampling. (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

      - Make Ctrl-C stop processing on TUI, allowing interrupting the load of big
        perf.data files (Namhyung Kim)

  'perf probe': (Masami Hiramatsu)

      - Support glob wildcards for function name
      - Support $params special probe argument: Collect all function arguments
      - Make --line checks validate C-style function name.
      - Add --no-inlines option to avoid searching inline functions
      - Greatly speed up 'perf probe --list' by caching debuginfo.
      - Improve --filter support for 'perf probe', allowing using its arguments
        on other commands, as --add, --del, etc.

  'perf sched':

      - Add option in 'perf sched' to merge like comms to lat output (Josef Bacik)

  Plus tons of infrastructure work - in particular preparation for
  upcoming threaded perf report support, but also lots of other work -
  and fixes and other improvements.  See (much) more details in the
  shortlog and in the git log"

Pull RCU updates from Ingo Molnar:

 - Continued initialization/Kconfig updates: hide most Kconfig options
   from unsuspecting users.

   There's now a single high level configuration option:

        *
        * RCU Subsystem
        *
        Make expert-level adjustments to RCU configuration (RCU_EXPERT) [N/y/?] (NEW)

   Which if answered in the negative, leaves us with a single
   interactive configuration option:

        Offload RCU callback processing from boot-selected CPUs (RCU_NOCB_CPU) [N/y/?] (NEW)

   All the rest of the RCU options are configured automatically.  Later
   on we'll remove this single leftover configuration option as well.

 - Remove all uses of RCU-protected array indexes: replace the
   rcu_[access|dereference]_index_check() APIs with READ_ONCE() and
   rcu_lockdep_assert()

 - RCU CPU-hotplug cleanups

 - Updates to Tiny RCU: a race fix and further code shrinkage.

 - RCU torture-testing updates: fixes, speedups, cleanups and
   documentation updates.

 - Miscellaneous fixes

 - Documentation updates

<title>perf: Fix ring_buffer_attach() RCU sync, again</title>

<id>2f993cf093643b98477c421fa2b9a98dcc940323</id>
<content type='text'>
While looking for other users of get_state/cond_sync. I Found
ring_buffer_attach() and it looks obviously buggy?

Don't we need to ensure that we have "synchronize" _between_
list_del() and list_add() ?

IOW. Suppose that ring_buffer_attach() preempts right_after
get_state_synchronize_rcu() and gp completes before spin_lock().

In this case cond_synchronize_rcu() does nothing and we reuse
-&gt;rb_entry without waiting for gp in between?

It also moves the -&gt;rcu_pending check under "if (rb)", to make it
more readable imo.
