| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The shift used here to count the number of bits set in the mask doesn't work above the low part for archs that are not 64 bits. Fix the constant used for the shift. This fixes a 32-bit perf top failure reported by Eric Dumazet: Can't parse sample, err = -14 Can't parse sample, err = -14 ...

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit eac9eacee16 "perf tools: Check we are able to read the event size on mmap" brought a check to ensure we can read the size of the event before dereferencing it, and do a remap otherwise to move the buffer forward. However that remap was ommitting all the necessary work to update the new page offset, head, and to unmap previous pages, etc... To fix this, gather all the code that fetches the event in a seperate helper which does all the necessary checks about the header/event size and tells us anytime a remap is needed.

So this fixes things up a bit, using grep -L linux/prefetch.h $(git grep -l '[^a-z_]prefetchw*(' -- '*.[ch]') grep -L 'prefetchw*(' $(git grep -l 'linux/prefetch.h' -- '*.[ch]') to guide us in finding files that either need <linux/prefetch.h> inclusion, or have it despite not needing it. There are more of them around (mostly network drivers), but this gets many core ones.

| |/ / | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If RCU priority boosting is to be meaningful, callback invocation must be boosted in addition to preempted RCU readers. Otherwise, in presence of CPU real-time threads, the grace period ends, but the callbacks don't get invoked. If the callbacks don't get invoked, the associated memory doesn't get freed, so the system is still subject to OOM. But it is not reasonable to priority-boost RCU_SOFTIRQ, so this commit moves the callback invocations to a kthread, which can be boosted easily. Also add comments and properly synchronized all accesses to rcu_cpu_kthread_task, as suggested by Lai Jiangshan. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paul.mckenney@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Paul E.

These thresholds are set to relatively low levels, because on most CPUs even a moderate percentage of branch-misses already shows up as a slowdown.

The reason is that the task-clock event is matched and the "-msecs" postfix is assumed to be an event modifier - but is not recognized. This patch changes the code to be more informative: $ perf stat -e task-clock-msecs true invalid event modifier: '-msecs' Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events and modifiers And restructures the return value of parse_event_modifier() to allow the printing of all variants of invalid event modifiers.
