[PATCH 2/2] Cell OProfile: SPU mutex lock fix, version 4

[Carl Love]

If an error occurs on opcontrol start, the event and per cpu buffers
are released.  If later opcontrol shutdown is called then the free
function will be called again to free buffers that no longer
exist.  This results in a kernel oops.  The following changes
prevent the call to delete buffers that don't exist.

vfree(NULL) is defined to be legal, so you don't need to check the
argument for being non-NULL, just set it to NULL after the free.

Hi Paul,

I've fixed one last bug in Carl's update for cell-oprofile (int flags
instead of unsigned long flags) and made sure the comments fit the
usual style. This fixes a long-standing bug that prevented us from
using oprofile on SPUs in many real-world scenarios. Please
pull from

 master.kernel.org:/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arnd/cell-2.6.git merge

so we can get it fixed in 2.6.27-rc3. Sorry for the size of the patch
so late after the merge window, unfortunately it wasn't possible to
fix the problem in a simpler way.

    powerpc/cell/oprofile: fix mutex locking for spu-oprofile

    The issue is the SPU code is not holding the kernel mutex lock while
    adding samples to the kernel buffer.

    This patch creates per SPU buffers to hold the data.  Data
    is added to the buffers from in interrupt context.  The data
    is periodically pushed to the kernel buffer via a new Oprofile
    function oprofile_put_buff(). The oprofile_put_buff() function
    is called via a work queue enabling the funtion to acquire the
    mutex lock.

    The existing user controls for adjusting the per CPU buffer
    size is used to control the size of the per SPU buffers.
    Similarly, overflows of the SPU buffers are reported by
    incrementing the per CPU buffer stats.  This eliminates the
    need to have architecture specific controls for the per SPU
    buffers which is not acceptable to the OProfile user tool
    maintainer.

    The export of the oprofile add_event_entry() is removed as it
    is no longer needed given this patch.

    Note, this patch has not addressed the issue of indexing arrays
    by the spu number.  This still needs to be fixed as the spu
    numbering is not guarenteed to be 0 to max_num_spus-1.

Since you're touching generic oprofile code here, do you have an ack
from the oprofile maintainer?  Or is the oprofile maintainer listed in
MAINTAINERS (Robert Richter) no longer active or something?

Paul.

Sorry about that. I had assumed that at the very least Carl had had
the oprofile list on Cc and that people there just didn't care.

Robert has just recently taken over maintainership for oprofile,
so I assume that he is indeed active and interested in the patches.
I'll send them out again for his review on oprofile-list.

From: Carl Love <cel@...>

The issue is the SPU code is not holding the kernel mutex lock while
adding samples to the kernel buffer.

This patch creates per SPU buffers to hold the data.  Data
is added to the buffers from in interrupt context.  The data
is periodically pushed to the kernel buffer via a new Oprofile
function oprofile_put_buff(). The oprofile_put_buff() function
is called via a work queue enabling the funtion to acquire the
mutex lock.

The existing user controls for adjusting the per CPU buffer
size is used to control the size of the per SPU buffers.
Similarly, overflows of the SPU buffers are reported by
incrementing the per CPU buffer stats.  This eliminates the
need to have architecture specific controls for the per SPU
buffers which is not acceptable to the OProfile user tool
maintainer.

The export of the oprofile add_event_entry() is removed as it
is no longer needed given this patch.

Note, this patch has not addressed the issue of indexing arrays
by the spu number.  This still needs to be fixed as the spu
numbering is not guarenteed to be 0 to max_num_spus-1.

If an error occurs on opcontrol start, the event and per cpu buffers
are released.  If later opcontrol shutdown is called then the free
function will be called again to free buffers that no longer
exist.  This results in a kernel oops.  The following changes
prevent the call to delete buffers that don't exist.

Sorry, my mistake.  I did mean to post both patches to the OProfile list
as well.  I was planning on following up with Robert on the patches this
week since I had not heard from him.

I am fine with the changes with the exception of removing
add_event_entry() from include/linux/oprofile.h. Though there is no
usage of the function also in other architectures anymore, this change
in the API should be discussed on the oprofile mailing list. Please
separate the change in a different patch and submit it to the mailing
list. If there are no objections then, this change can go upstream as
well.
