I noticed that my KVM virtual machines were experiencing IDE
issues resulting in processes stuck on waiting for buffers to
complete.
The root cause is of course race conditions in the ancient qemu
backend that I'm using. However, the fact that the guest isn't
recovering is a bug.
I've tracked it down to the change made last year to dequeue
requests at the start rather than at the end in the IDE layer.

ide: dequeue in-flight request
The problem is that the function ide_dma_timeout_retry does not
requeue the current request, causing one request to be lost for
each DMA timeout.
This patch fixes this by requeueing the request.

When the system has no lmb bram, main memory should be start from
zero because of microblaze vectors.
DTS fragment could look like:
DDR2_SDRAM: memory@0 {
device_type = "memory";
reg = < 0x0 0x10000000 >;
} ;
Then you have to setup CONFIG_KERNEL_BASE_ADDR=0 which caused
that kernel physical start address will be zero. On reset vector place
will be jump to 0x100 and on 0x100 starts kernel text.
You have to solve how to load the kernel before cpu starts.

Scheduler's task migration events don't work because they always
pass NULL regs perf_sw_event(). The event hence gets filtered
in perf_swevent_add().
Scheduler's context switches events use task_pt_regs() to get
the context when the event occured which is a wrong thing to
do as this won't give us the place in the kernel where we went
to sleep but the place where we left userspace. The result is
even more wrong if we switch from a kernel thread.
Use the hot regs snapshot for both events as they belong to the
non-interrupt/exception based events family. Unlike page faults
or so that provide the regs matching the exact origin of the event,
we need to save the current context.
This makes the task migration event working and fix the context
switch callchains and origin ip.

The trace event buffer used by perf to record raw sample events
is typed as an array of char and may then not be aligned to 8
by alloc_percpu().
But we need it to be aligned to 8 in sparc64 because we cast
this buffer into a random structure type built by the TRACE_EVENT()
macro to store the traces. So if a random 64 bits field is accessed
inside, it may be not under an expected good alignment.
Use an array of long instead to force the appropriate alignment, and
perform a compile time check to ensure the size in byte of the buffer
is a multiple of sizeof(long) so that its actual size doesn't get
shrinked under us.
This fixes unaligned accesses reported while using perf lock
in sparc 64.

Currently, binary readers of the ring buffer only know where events were
lost, but not how many events were lost at that location.
This information is available, but it would require adding another
field to the sub buffer header to include it.
But when a event can not fit at the end of a sub buffer, it is written
to the next sub buffer. This means there is a good chance that the
buffer may have room to hold this counter. If it does, write
the counter at the end of the sub buffer and set another flag
in the data size field that states that this information exists.

events were lost, which the iterator does not do.
Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
Currently, when the ring buffer drops events, it does not record
the fact that it did so. It does inform the writer that the event
was dropped by returning a NULL event, but it does not put in any
place holder where the event was dropped.
This is not a trivial thing to add because the ring buffer mostly
runs in overwrite (flight recorder) mode. That is, when the ring
buffer is full, new data will overwrite old data.
In a produce/consumer mode, where new data is simply dropped when
the ring buffer is full, it is trivial to add the placeholder
for dropped events. When there's more room to write new data, then
a special event can be added to notify the reader about the dropped
events.
But in overwrite mode, any new write can overwrite events. A place
holder can not be inserted into the ring buffer since there never
may be room. A reader could also come in at anytime and miss the
placeholder.
Luckily, the way the ring buffer works, the read side can find out
if events were lost or not, and how many events. Everytime a write
takes place, if it overwrites the header page (the next read) it
updates a "overrun" variable that keeps track of the number of
lost events. When a reader swaps out a page from the ring buffer,
it can record this number, perfom the swap, and then check to
see if the number changed, and take the diff if it has, which would be
the number of events dropped. This can be stored by the reader
and returned to callers of the reader.
Since the reader page swap will fail if the writer moved the head
page since the time the reader page set up the swap, this gives room
to record the overruns without worrying about races. If the reader
sets up the pages, records the overrun, than performs the swap,
if the swap succeeds, then the overrun variable has not been
updated since the setup before the swap.
For binary readers of the ring buffer, a flag is set in the header
of each sub page (sub buffer) of the ring buffer. This flag is embedded
in the size field of the data on the sub buffer, in the 31st bit (the size
can be 32 or 64 bits depending on the architecture), but only 27
bits needs to be used for the actual size (less actually).
We could add a new field in the sub buffer header to also record the
number of events dropped since the last read, but this will change the
format of the binary ring buffer a bit too much. Perhaps this change can
be made if the information on the number of events dropped is considered
important enough.
Note, the notification of dropped events is only used by consuming reads
or peeking at the ring buffer. Iterating over the ring buffer does not
keep this information because the necessary data is only available when
a page swap is made, and the iterator does not swap out pages.

If modules are configured in the build but unloading of modules is not,
then the refcnt is not defined. Place the get/put module tracepoints
under CONFIG_MODULE_UNLOAD since it references this field in the module
structure.
As a side-effect, this patch also reduces the code when MODULE_UNLOAD
is not set, because these unused tracepoints are not created.

Remove the @refcnt argument, because it has side-effects, and arguments with
side-effects are not skipped by the jump over disabled instrumentation and are
executed even when the tracepoint is disabled.
This was also causing a GPF as found by Randy Dunlap:
