The current scheme of using the timer tick was fine for per-thread
events. However, it was causing bias issues in system-wide mode
(including for uncore PMUs). Event groups would not get their fair
share of runtime on the PMU. With tickless kernels, if a core is idle
there is no timer tick, and thus no event rotation (multiplexing).
However, there are events (especially uncore events) which do count
even though cores are asleep.
This patch changes the timer source for multiplexing. It introduces a
per-PMU per-cpu hrtimer. The advantage is that even when a core goes
idle, it will come back to service the hrtimer, thus multiplexing on
system-wide events works much better.
The per-PMU implementation (suggested by PeterZ) enables adjusting the
multiplexing interval per PMU. The preferred interval is stashed into
the struct pmu. If not set, it will be forced to the default interval
value.
In order to minimize the impact of the hrtimer, it is turned on and
off on demand. When the PMU on a CPU is overcommited, the hrtimer is
activated. It is stopped when the PMU is not overcommitted.
In order for this to work properly, we had to change the order of
initialization in start_kernel() such that hrtimer_init() is run
before perf_event_init().
The default interval in milliseconds is set to a timer tick just like
with the old code. We will provide a sysctl to tune this in another
patch.

The hw breakpoint pmu 'add' function is missing the
period_left update needed for SW events.
The perf HW breakpoint events use the SW events framework
to process the overflow, so it needs to be properly initialized
in the PMU 'add' method.

Since try_module_get() returns false( = 0) when it fails to
pindown a module, event_enable_func() returns 0 which means
"succeed". This can cause a kernel panic when the entry
is removed, because the event is already released.
This fixes the bug by returning -EBUSY, because the reason
why it fails is that the module is being removed at that time.

Kay Sievers noted that the ALWAYS_USE_PERSISTENT_CLOCK config,
which enables some minor compile time optimization to avoid
uncessary code in mostly the suspend/resume path could cause
problems for userland.
In particular, the dependency for RTC_HCTOSYS on
!ALWAYS_USE_PERSISTENT_CLOCK, which avoids setting the time
twice and simplifies suspend/resume, has the side effect
of causing the /sys/class/rtc/rtcN/hctosys flag to always be
zero, and this flag is commonly used by udev to setup the
/dev/rtc symlink to /dev/rtcN, which can cause pain for
older applications.
While the udev rules could use some work to be less fragile,
breaking userland should strongly be avoided. Additionally
the compile time optimizations are fairly minor, and the code
being optimized is likely to be reworked in the future, so
lets revert this change.

An inactive timer's base can refer to a offline cpu's base.
In the current code, cpu_base's lock is blindly reinitialized each

that another thread is trying to modify an inactive timer on that CPU
with holding its timer base lock, then the lock will be reinitialized

As an example, this particular crash occurred when CPU #3 is executing
mod_timer() on an inactive timer whose base is refered to offlined CPU
#2. The code locked the timer_base corresponding to CPU #2. Before it
could proceed, CPU #2 came online and reinitialized the spinlock
corresponding to its base. Thus now CPU #3 held a lock which was
reinitialized. When CPU #3 finally ended up unlocking the old cpu_base
corresponding to CPU #2, we hit the above SPIN_BUG().

Allocation of per_cpu timer vector bases is done only once under

The warning is that 'rdtp->dynticks' has an unexpected value, which roughly
translates to - the calls to rcu_idle_enter() and rcu_idle_exit() were not
made in the correct order, or otherwise messed up.
And Bjørn's painstaking debugging indicated that this happens when the idle
loop enters the poll mode. Looking at the poll function cpu_idle_poll(), and
the implementation of trace_cpu_idle_rcuidle(), the problem becomes very clear:
cpu_idle_poll() lacks calls to rcu_idle_enter/exit(), and trace_cpu_idle_rcuidle()
calls them in the reverse order - first rcu_idle_exit(), and then rcu_idle_enter().
Hence the even/odd alternative sequencing of rdtp->dynticks goes for a toss.
And powertop readily triggers this because powertop uses the idle-tracing
infrastructure extensively.
So, to fix this, wrap the code in cpu_idle_poll() within rcu_idle_enter/exit(),
so that it blends properly with the calls inside trace_cpu_idle_rcuidle() and
thus get the function ordering right.

commit 5b39939a4 (nohz: Move ts->idle_calls incrementation into strict
idle logic) moved code out of tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick() and missed
to bail out when the cpu is offline. That's causing subsequent
failures as an offline CPU is supposed to die and not to fiddle with
nohz magic.
Return false in can_stop_idle_tick() if the cpu is offline.

Prarit reported a crash on CPU offline/online. The reason is that on
CPU down the NOHZ related per cpu data of the dead cpu is not cleaned
up. If at cpu online an interrupt happens before the per cpu tick
device is registered the irq_enter() check potentially sees stale data
and dereferences a NULL pointer.
Cleanup the data after the cpu is dead.

The enabled_functions debugfs file was created to be able to see
what functions have been modified from nops to calling a tracer.
The current method uses the counter in the function record.
As when a ftrace_ops is registered to a function, its count
increases. But that doesn't mean that the function is actively
being traced. /proc/sys/kernel/ftrace_enabled can be set to zero
which would disable it, as well as something can go wrong and
we can think its enabled when only the counter is set.
The record's FTRACE_FL_ENABLED flag is set or cleared when its
function is modified. That is a much more accurate way of knowing
what function is enabled or not.

Both __trace_add_new_event() and __trace_early_add_new_event() do
basically the same thing, except that __trace_add_new_event() does
a little more.
Instead of having duplicate code between the two functions, add
a helper function trace_create_new_event() that both can use.
This will help against having bugs fixed in one function but not
the other.

Modify soft-mode flag only if no other soft-mode referrer
(currently only the ftrace triggers) by using a reference
counter in each ftrace_event_file.
Without this fix, adding and removing several different
enable/disable_event triggers on the same event clear
soft-mode bit from the ftrace_event_file. This also
happens with a typo of glob on setting triggers.
e.g.
# echo vfs_symlink:enable_event:net:netif_rx > set_ftrace_filter
# cat events/net/netif_rx/enable
0*
# echo typo_func:enable_event:net:netif_rx > set_ftrace_filter
# cat events/net/netif_rx/enable
0
# cat set_ftrace_filter
#### all functions enabled ####
vfs_symlink:enable_event:net:netif_rx:unlimited
As above, we still have a trigger, but soft-mode is gone.

Cleanup regex_lock and ftrace_lock locking points around
ftrace_ops hash update code.
The new rule is that regex_lock protects ops->*_hash
read-update-write code for each ftrace_ops. Usually,
hash update is done by following sequence.
1. allocate a new local hash and copy the original hash.
2. update the local hash.
3. move(actually, copy) back the local hash to ftrace_ops.
4. update ftrace entries if needed.
5. release the local hash.
This makes regex_lock protect #1-#4, and ftrace_lock
to protect #3, #4 and adding and removing ftrace_ops from the
ftrace_ops_list. The ftrace_lock protects #3 as well because
the move functions update the entries too.

To fix that, this introduces a finer regex_lock for each ftrace_ops.
ftrace_regex_lock is too big of a lock which protects all
filter/notrace_hash operations, but it doesn't need to be a global
lock after supporting multiple ftrace_ops because each ftrace_ops
has its own filter/notrace_hash.
