It was possible to call pmu::start() on an already running event. In
particular this lead so some wreckage as the hrtimer events would
re-initialize active timers.
This was due to throttled events being activated again by scheduling.
Scheduling in a context would add and force start events, resulting in
running events with a possible throttle status. The next tick to hit
that task will then try to unthrottle the event and call ->start() on
an already running event.

Commit 927c7a9e92 ("perf: Fix race in callchains") introduced
a mismatch in the sizing of struct callchain_cpus_entries.
nr_cpu_ids must be used instead of num_possible_cpus(), or we

In theory, almost every user of task->child->perf_event_ctxp[]
is wrong. find_get_context() can install the new context at any
moment, we need read_barrier_depends().
dbe08d82ce "perf: Fix
find_get_context() vs perf_event_exit_task() race" added
rcu_dereference() into perf_event_exit_task_context() to make
the precedent, but this makes __rcu_dereference_check() unhappy.
Use rcu_dereference_raw() to shut up the warning.

loop_1b_instruc/1899 is trying to acquire lock:

but task is already holding lock:
(&ctx->mutex){+.+.+.}, at: [<ffffffff810eb45b>] perf_event_init_context+0xc0/0x218
which lock already depends on the new lock.
the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is:
-> #3 (&ctx->mutex){+.+.+.}:
-> #2 (cpu_hotplug.lock){+.+.+.}:
-> #1 (module_mutex){+.+...}:
-> #0 (event_mutex){+.+.+.}:
But because the deadlock would be cpuhotplug (cpu-event) vs fork
(task-event) it cannot, in fact, happen. We can annotate this by giving the
perf_event_context used for the cpuctx a different lock class from those
used by tasks.

find_get_context() must not install the new perf_event_context
if the task has already passed perf_event_exit_task().
If nothing else, this means the memory leak. Initially
ctx->refcount == 2, it is supposed that
perf_event_exit_task_context() should participate and do the
necessary put_ctx().
find_lively_task_by_vpid() checks PF_EXITING but this buys
nothing, by the time we call find_get_context() this task can be
already dead. To the point, cmpxchg() can succeed when the task
has already done the last schedule().
Change find_get_context() to populate task->perf_event_ctxp[]
under task->perf_event_mutex, this way we can trust PF_EXITING
because perf_event_exit_task() takes the same mutex.
Also, change perf_event_exit_task_context() to use
rcu_dereference(). Probably this is not strictly needed, but
with or without this change find_get_context() can race with
setup_new_exec()->perf_event_exit_task(), rcu_dereference()
looks better.

Linus reported that the RCU lockdep annotation bits triggered for this
rcu_dereference() because we're not holding rcu_read_lock().
Going over the code I cannot convince myself its correct:
- holding a ref on the parent_ctx, doesn't avoid it being uncloned
concurrently (as the comment says), so we can race with a free.
- holding parent_ctx->mutex doesn't avoid the above free from taking
place either, it would at best avoid parent_ctx from being freed.
I.e. the warning is correct. To fix the bug, serialize against the
unclone_ctx() call by extending the reach of the parent_ctx->lock.

Use the reboot notifier to detach all running counters on reboot, this
solves a problem with kexec where the new kernel doesn't expect
running counters (rightly so).
It will however decrease the coverage of the NMI watchdog. Making a
kexec specific reboot notifier callback would be best, however that
would require touching all notifier callback handlers as they are not
properly structured to deal with new state.
As a compromise, place the perf reboot notifier at the very last
position in the list.

Oleg noticed that a perf-fd keeping a reference on the creating task
leads to a few funny side effects.
There's two different aspects to this:
- kernel based perf-events, these should not take out
a reference on the creating task and appear on the task's
event list since they're not bound to fds nor visible
to userspace.
- fork() and pthread_create(), these can lead to the creating
task dying (and thus the task's event-list becomming useless)
but keeping the list and ref alive until the event is closed.
Combined they lead to malfunction of the ptrace hw_tracepoints.
Cure this by not considering kernel based perf_events for the
owner-list and destroying the owner-list when the owner dies.

When using early debugging, the kernel does not initialize the
hw_breakpoint API early enough and causes the late initialization of
the kernel debugger to fail. The boot arguments are:
earlyprintk=vga ekgdboc=kbd kgdbwait
Then simply type "go" at the kdb prompt and boot. The kernel will
later emit the message:
kgdb: Could not allocate hwbreakpoints
And at that point the kernel debugger will cease to work correctly.
The solution is to initialize the hw_breakpoint at the same time that
all the other perf call backs are initialized instead of using a
core_initcall() initialization which happens well after the kernel
debugger can make use of hardware breakpoints.

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):

This new version (see commit 8e5fc1a) is much simpler and ensures that
in case of error in group_sched_in() during event_sched_in(), the
events up to the failed event go through regular event_sched_out().
But the failed event and the remaining events in the group have their
timings adjusted as if they had also gone through event_sched_in() and
event_sched_out(). This ensures timing uniformity across all events in
a group. This also takes care of the tstamp_stopped problem in case
the group could never be scheduled. The tstamp_stopped is updated as
if the event had actually run.
With this patch, the following now reports correct time_enabled,
in case the NMI watchdog is active:
$ task -e unhalted_core_cycles,instructions_retired,baclears,baclears
noploop 1

This patch reverts commit 8e5fc1a (perf_events: Fix transaction
recovery in group_sched_in()) because it had one flaw in case the
group could never be scheduled. It would cause time_enabled to get
negative.

hw_breakpoint creation needs to account stuff per-task to ensure there
is always sufficient hardware resources to back these things due to
ptrace.
With the perf per pmu context changes the event initialization no
longer has access to the event context, for the simple reason that we
need to first find the pmu (result of initialization) before we can
find the context.
This makes hw_breakpoints unhappy, because it can no longer do per
task accounting, cure this by frobbing a task pointer in the event::hw
bits for now...

So that we can pass the task pointer to the event allocation, so that
we can use task associated data during event initialization.

Currently it looks like find_lively_task_by_vpid() takes a task ref
and relies on find_get_context() to drop it.
The problem is that perf_event_create_kernel_counter() shouldn't be
dropping task refs.

Matt found we trigger the WARN_ON_ONCE() in perf_group_attach() when we take
the move_group path in perf_event_open().
Since we cannot de-construct the group (we rely on it to move the events), we
have to simply ignore the double attach. The group state is context invariant
and doesn't need changing.

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.
