2012-11-19tools: Honour the O= flag when tool build called from a higher MakefileDavid Howells1-4/+13
Honour the O= flag that was passed to a higher level Makefile and then passed down as part of a tool build. To make this work, the top-level Makefile passes the original O= flag and subdir=tools to the tools/Makefile, and that in turn passes subdir=$(O)/$(subdir)/foodir when building tool foo in directory $(O)/$(subdir)/foodir (where the intervening slashes aren't added if an element is missing). For example, take perf. This is found in tools/perf/. Assume we're building into directory ~/zebra/, so we pass O=~/zebra to make. Dependening on where we run the build from, we see: make run in dir $(OUTPUT) dir ======================= ================== linux ~/zebra/tools/perf/ linux/tools ~/zebra/perf/ linux/tools/perf ~/zebra/ and if O= is not set, we get: make run in dir $(OUTPUT) dir ======================= ================== linux linux/tools/perf/ linux/tools linux/tools/perf/ linux/tools/perf linux/tools/perf/ The output directories are created by the descend function if they don't already exist.

2012-11-14perf tools: Fix 'disabled' attribute config for record commandJiri Olsa4-3/+56
Currently the record command sets all events initially as disabled. There's non conditional perf_evlist__enable call, that enables all events before we exec tracee program. That actually screws whole enable_on_exec logic, because the event is enabled before the traced program got executed. What we actually want is: 1) For any type of traced program: - all independent events and group leaders are disabled - all group members are enabled Group members are ruled by group leaders. They need to be enabled, because the group scheduling relies on that. 2) For traced programs executed by perf: - all independent events and group leaders have enable_on_exec set - we don't specifically enable or disable any event during the record command Independent events and group leaders are initially disabled and get enabled by exec. Group members are ruled by group leaders as stated in 1). 3) For traced programs attached by perf (pid/tid): - we specifically enable or disable all events during the record command When attaching events to already running traced we enable/disable events specifically, as there's no initial traced exec call. Fixing appropriate perf_event_attr test case to cover this change.

2012-11-14perf tools: Fix attributes for '{}' defined event groupsJiri Olsa8-28/+20
Fixing events attributes for groups defined via '{}'. Currently 'enable_on_exec' attribute in record command and both 'disabled ' and 'enable_on_exec' attributes in stat command are set based on the 'group' option. This eliminates proper setup for '{}' defined groups as they don't set 'group' option. Making above attributes values based on the 'evsel->leader' as this is common to both group definition. Moving perf_evlist__set_leader call within builtin-record ahead perf_evlist__config_attrs call, because the latter needs possible group leader links in place.

2012-11-13ktest: Add support for grub2Steven Rostedt2-4/+91
As only grub or 'script' is supported for rebooting to a new kernel, and Fedora 17 has dropped support for grub, I decided to add grub2 support as well (I also plan on adding syslinux/extlinux support too). The options GRUB_FILE and GRUB_REBOOT were added to allow the user to specify where to find the grub.cfg and what tool to use to reboot into the next kernel respectively.

2012-11-09revert "epoll: support for disabling items, and a self-test app"Andrew Morton3-356/+1
Revert commit 03a7beb55b9f ("epoll: support for disabling items, and a self-test app") pending resolution of the issues identified by Michael Kerrisk, copied below. We'll revisit this for 3.8. : I've taken a look at this patch as it currently stands in 3.7-rc1, and : done a bit of testing. (By the way, the test program : tools/testing/selftests/epoll/test_epoll.c does not compile...) : : There are one or two places where the behavior seems a little strange, : so I have a question or two at the end of this mail. But other than : that, I want to check my understanding so that the interface can be : correctly documented. : : Just to go though my understanding, the problem is the following : scenario in a multithreaded application: : : 1. Multiple threads are performing epoll_wait() operations, : and maintaining a user-space cache that contains information : corresponding to each file descriptor being monitored by : epoll_wait(). : : 2. At some point, a thread wants to delete (EPOLL_CTL_DEL) : a file descriptor from the epoll interest list, and : delete the corresponding record from the user-space cache. : : 3. The problem with (2) is that some other thread may have : previously done an epoll_wait() that retrieved information : about the fd in question, and may be in the middle of using : information in the cache that relates to that fd. Thus, : there is a potential race. : : 4. The race can't solved purely in user space, because doing : so would require applying a mutex across the epoll_wait() : call, which would of course blow thread concurrency. : : Right? : : Your solution is the EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE operation. I want to : confirm my understanding about how to use this flag, since : the description that has accompanied the patches so far : has been a bit sparse : : 0. In the scenario you're concerned about, deleting a file : descriptor means (safely) doing the following: : (a) Deleting the file descriptor from the epoll interest list : using EPOLL_CTL_DEL : (b) Deleting the corresponding record in the user-space cache : : 1. It's only meaningful to use this EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE in : conjunction with EPOLLONESHOT. : : 2. Using EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE without using EPOLLONESHOT in : conjunction is a logical error. : : 3. The correct way to code multithreaded applications using : EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE and EPOLLONESHOT is as follows: : : a. All EPOLL_CTL_ADD and EPOLL_CTL_MOD operations should : should EPOLLONESHOT. : : b. When a thread wants to delete a file descriptor, it : should do the following: : : [1] Call epoll_ctl(EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE) : [2] If the return status from epoll_ctl(EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE) : was zero, then the file descriptor can be safely : deleted by the thread that made this call. : [3] If the epoll_ctl(EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE) fails with EBUSY, : then the descriptor is in use. In this case, the calling : thread should set a flag in the user-space cache to : indicate that the thread that is using the descriptor : should perform the deletion operation. : : Is all of the above correct? : : The implementation depends on checking on whether : (events & ~EP_PRIVATE_BITS) == 0 : This replies on the fact that EPOLL_CTL_AD and EPOLL_CTL_MOD always : set EPOLLHUP and EPOLLERR in the 'events' mask, and EPOLLONESHOT : causes those flags (as well as all others in ~EP_PRIVATE_BITS) to be : cleared. : : A corollary to the previous paragraph is that using EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE : is only useful in conjunction with EPOLLONESHOT. However, as things : stand, one can use EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE on a file descriptor that does : not have EPOLLONESHOT set in 'events' This results in the following : (slightly surprising) behavior: : : (a) The first call to epoll_ctl(EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE) returns 0 : (the indicator that the file descriptor can be safely deleted). : (b) The next call to epoll_ctl(EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE) fails with EBUSY. : : This doesn't seem particularly useful, and in fact is probably an : indication that the user made a logic error: they should only be using : epoll_ctl(EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE) on a file descriptor for which : EPOLLONESHOT was set in 'events'. If that is correct, then would it : not make sense to return an error to user space for this case? Cc: Michael Kerrisk <mtk.manpages@gmail.com> Cc: "Paton J.
