locking/atomics: COCCINELLE/treewide: Convert trivial ACCESS_ONCE() patterns to READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE()

2017-10-25T09:01:08Z

Please do not apply this to mainline directly, instead please re-run the coccinelle script shown below and apply its output. For several reasons, it is desirable to use {READ,WRITE}_ONCE() in preference to ACCESS_ONCE(), and new code is expected to use one of the former. So far, there's been no reason to change most existing uses of ACCESS_ONCE(), as these aren't harmful, and changing them results in churn. However, for some features, the read/write distinction is critical to correct operation. To distinguish these cases, separate read/write accessors must be used. This patch migrates (most) remaining ACCESS_ONCE() instances to {READ,WRITE}_ONCE(), using the following coccinelle script: ---- // Convert trivial ACCESS_ONCE() uses to equivalent READ_ONCE() and // WRITE_ONCE() // $ make coccicheck COCCI=/home/mark/once.cocci SPFLAGS="--include-headers" MODE=patch virtual patch @ depends on patch @ expression E1, E2; @@ - ACCESS_ONCE(E1) = E2 + WRITE_ONCE(E1, E2) @ depends on patch @ expression E; @@ - ACCESS_ONCE(E) + READ_ONCE(E) ---- Signed-off-by: Mark Rutland Signed-off-by: Paul E.

perf auxtrace: Add CPU filter support

2017-06-30T14:50:55Z

Decoding auxtrace data can take a long time. To avoid decoding unnecessarily, filter auxtrace data that is collected per-cpu before it is decoded.

perf tools: Include errno.h where needed

Removing it from util.h, part of an effort to disentangle the includes hell, that makes changes to util.h or something included by it to cause a complete rebuild of the tools.

perf auxtrace: Add option to feed branches to the thread stack

2016-06-23T20:02:59Z

In preparation for using the thread stack to print an indent representing the stack depth in perf script, add an option to tell decoders to feed branches to the thread stack. Add support for that option to Intel PT and Intel BTS. The advantage of using the decoder to feed the thread stack is that it happens before branch filtering and so can be used with different itrace options (e.g. it still works when only showing calls, even though the thread stack needs to see calls and returns). Also it does not conflict with using the thread stack to get callchains.

perf tools: Add support for skipping itrace instructions

2016-03-30T14:14:09Z

When using 'perf script' to look at PT traces it is often useful to ignore the initialization code at the beginning. On larger traces which may have many millions of instructions in initialization code doing that in a pipeline can be very slow, with perf script spending a lot of CPU time calling printf and writing data. This patch adds an extension to the --itrace argument that skips 'n' events (instructions, branches or transactions) at the beginning. This is much more efficient. v2: Add support for BTS (Adrian Hunter) Document in itrace.txt Fix branch check Check transactions and instructions too Committer note: To test intel_pt one needs to make sure VT-x isn't active, i.e. stopping KVM guests on the test machine, as described by Andi Kleen at http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20160301234953.GD23621@tassilo.jf.intel.com Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen Tested-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo Cc: Adrian Hunter Cc: Jiri Olsa Cc: Stephane Eranian Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1459187142-20035-1-git-send-email-andi@firstfloor.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo
