fs: change sys_truncate length parameter type

2009-09-23T16:21:05+00:00

For this system call user space passes a signed long length parameter,
while the kernel side takes an unsigned long parameter and converts it
later to signed long again.

This has led to bugs in compat wrappers see e.g.  dd90bbd5 "powerpc: Add
compat_sys_truncate".  The s390 compat wrapper for this functions is
broken as well since it also performs zero extension instead of sign
extension for the length parameter.

In addition if hpa comes up with an automated way of generating
compat wrappers it would generate a wrong one here.

So change the length parameter from unsigned long to long.

Merge branch 'perfcounters-rename-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/linux-2.6-tip

2009-09-21T16:15:07+00:00

* 'perfcounters-rename-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/linux-2.6-tip:
  perf: Tidy up after the big rename
  perf: Do the big rename: Performance Counters -> Performance Events
  perf_counter: Rename 'event' to event_id/hw_event
  perf_counter: Rename list_entry -> group_entry, counter_list -> group_list

Manually resolved some fairly trivial conflicts with the tracing tree in
include/trace/ftrace.h and kernel/trace/trace_syscalls.c.

perf: Do the big rename: Performance Counters -> Performance Events

2009-09-21T12:28:04+00:00

Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events!

In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its
initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is
becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging,
monitoring, analysis facility.

Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem
'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending
code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and
less appropriate.

All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance
events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables
and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion)

The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes
it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well.

Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and
suggested a rename.

User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch
should be function-invariant. (Also, defconfigs were not touched to
keep the size down.)

This patch has been generated via the following script:

  FILES=$(find * -type f | grep -vE 'oprofile|[^K]config')

  sed -i \
    -e 's/PERF_EVENT_/PERF_RECORD_/g' \
    -e 's/PERF_COUNTER/PERF_EVENT/g' \
    -e 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g' \
    -e 's/nb_counters/nb_events/g' \
    -e 's/swcounter/swevent/g' \
    -e 's/tpcounter_event/tp_event/g' \
    $FILES

  for N in $(find . -name perf_counter.[ch]); do
    M=$(echo $N | sed 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g')
    mv $N $M
  done

  FILES=$(find . -name perf_event.*)

  sed -i \
    -e 's/COUNTER_MASK/REG_MASK/g' \
    -e 's/COUNTER/EVENT/g' \
    -e 's/\/event_id/g' \
    -e 's/counter/event/g' \
    -e 's/Counter/Event/g' \
    $FILES

... to keep it as correct as possible. This script can also be
used by anyone who has pending perfcounters patches - it converts
a Linux kernel tree over to the new naming. We tried to time this
change to the point in time where the amount of pending patches
is the smallest: the end of the merge window.

Namespace clashes were fixed up in a preparatory patch - and some
stylistic fallout will be fixed up in a subsequent patch.

( NOTE: 'counters' are still the proper terminology when we deal
  with hardware registers - and these sed scripts are a bit
  over-eager in renaming them. I've undone some of that, but
  in case there's something left where 'counter' would be
  better than 'event' we can undo that on an individual basis
  instead of touching an otherwise nicely automated patch. )

tracing: Factorize the events profile accounting

2009-09-18T04:14:32+00:00

Factorize the events enabling accounting in a common tracing core
helper. This reduces the size of the profile_enable() and
profile_disable() callbacks for each trace events.

tracing/filters: Defer pred allocation

2009-08-31T08:58:08+00:00

init_preds() allocates about 5392 bytes of memory (on x86_32) for
a TRACE_EVENT. With my config, at system boot total memory occupied
is:

	5392 * (642 + 15) == 3459KB

642 == cat available_events | wc -l
15 == number of dirs in events/ftrace

That's quite a lot, so we'd better defer memory allocation util
it's needed, that's when filter is used.

tracing: Add fields format definition for syscall events

2009-08-11T18:35:30+00:00

Define the format of the syscall trace fields to parse the binary
values from a raw trace using the syscall events "format" file.

This is defined dynamically using the syscalls metadata.
It prepares the export of syscall event raw records to perf
counters.

Example:

$ cat /debug/tracing/events/syscalls/sys_enter_sched_getparam/format
name: sys_enter_sched_getparam
ID: 39
format:
	field:unsigned short common_type;	offset:0;	size:2;
	field:unsigned char common_flags;	offset:2;	size:1;
	field:unsigned char common_preempt_count;	offset:3;	size:1;
	field:int common_pid;	offset:4;	size:4;
	field:int common_tgid;	offset:8;	size:4;

	field:pid_t pid;	offset:12;	size:8;
	field:struct sched_param * param;	offset:20;	size:8;

print fmt: "pid: 0x%08lx, param: 0x%08lx", ((unsigned long)(REC->pid)), ((unsigned long)(REC->param))

tracing: Add perf counter support for syscalls tracing

2009-08-11T18:35:29+00:00

The perf counter support is automated for usual trace events. But we
have to define specific callbacks for this to handle syscalls trace
events

Make 'perf stat -e syscalls:sys_enter_blah' work with syscall style
tracepoints.
