There is no need to re-initialize the hrtimer every time we start it,
so don't do that (shaves a few cycles). Also, since we know hrtimers
run at a fixed rate (nanoseconds) we can pre-compute the desired
frequency at which they tick. This avoids us having to go through the
whole adaptive frequency feedback logic (shaves another few cycles).Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra

By pre-computing the maximum number of samples per tick we can avoid a
multiplication and a conditional since MAX_INTERRUPTS >

This patch adds support for AMD family 15h core counters. There are
major changes compared to family 10h. First, there is a new perfctr
msr range for up to 6 counters. Northbridge counters are separate
now. This patch only adds support for core counters. Second, certain
events may only be scheduled on certain counters. For this we need to
extend the event scheduling and constraints.We use cpu feature flags to calculate family 15h msr address offsets.
This way we later can implement a faster ALTERNATIVE() version for
this.Signed-off-by: Robert Richter

Instead of storing the base addresses we can store the counter's msr
addresses directly in config_base/event_base of struct hw_perf_event.
This avoids recalculating the address with each msr access. The
addresses are configured one time. We also need this change to later
modify the address calculation.Signed-off-by: Robert Richter

Use helper function in x86_pmu_enable_all() to minimize access to
x86_pmu.eventsel in the fast path. The counter's msr address is now
calculated using struct hw_perf_event. Later we add code that
calculates the msr addresses with a table lookup which shouldn't be
done in the fast path.Signed-off-by: Robert Richter

This patch adds the ability to filter monitoring based on container groups
(cgroups) for both perf stat and perf record. It is possible to monitor
multiple cgroup in parallel. There is one cgroup per event. The cgroups to
monitor are passed via a new -G option followed by a comma separated list of
cgroup names.The cgroup filesystem has to be mounted. Given a cgroup name, the perf tool
finds the corresponding directory in the cgroup filesystem and opens it. It
then passes that file descriptor to the kernel.Example:
$ perf stat -B -a -e cycles:u,cycles:u,cycles:u -G test1,,test2 -- sleep 1
Performance counter stats for 'sleep 1':2,368,667,414 cycles test1
2,369,661,459 cycles
cycles test21.001856890 seconds time elapsed

This kernel patch adds the ability to filter monitoring based on
container groups (cgroups). This is for use in per-cpu mode only.The cgroup to monitor is passed as a file descriptor in the pid
argument to the syscall. The file descriptor must be opened to
the cgroup name in the cgroup filesystem. For instance, if the
cgroup name is foo and cgroupfs is mounted in /cgroup, then the
file descriptor is opened to /cgroup/foo. Cgroup mode is
activated by passing PERF_FLAG_PID_CGROUP in the flags argument
to the syscall.For instance to measure in cgroup foo on CPU1 assuming
cgroupfs is mounted under /cgroup:struct perf_event_attr attr;
int cgroup_fd, fd;cgroup_fd = open("/cgroup/foo", O_RDONLY);
fd = perf_event_open(&attr, cgroup_fd, 1, -1, PERF_FLAG_PID_CGROUP);
close(cgroup_fd);Signed-off-by: Stephane Eranian

It was possible to call pmu::start() on an already running event. In
particular this lead so some wreckage as the hrtimer events would
re-initialize active timers.This was due to throttled events being activated again by scheduling.
Scheduling in a context would add and force start events, resulting in
running events with a possible throttle status. The next tick to hit
that task will then try to unthrottle the event and call ->start() on
an already running event.Reported-by: Jeff Moyer

Add an m68k/coldfire optimized memmove() function for the m68knommu arch.
This is the same function as used by m68k. Simple speed tests show this
is faster once buffers are larger than 4 bytes, and significantly faster
on much larger buffers (4 times faster above about 100 bytes).This also goes part of the way to fixing a regression caused by commit
ea61bc461d09e8d331a307916530aaae808c72a2 ("m68k/m68knommu: merge MMU and
non-MMU string.h"), which breaks non-coldfire non-mmu builds (which is
the 68x328 and 68360 families). They currently have no memmove() fucntion
defined, since there was none in the m68knommu/lib functions.Signed-off-by: Greg Ungerer

The m68k arch implements its own memcmp() function. It is not optimized
in any way (it is the most strait forward coding of memcmp you can get).
Remove it and use the kernels standard memcmp() implementation.This also goes part of the way to fixing a regression caused by commit

This reintroduces commit 47970b1b which was subsequently reverted
as f00eaeea. The original change was broken and caused X startup
failures and generally made privileged processes incapable of reading
device dependent config space. The normal capable() interface returns
true on success, but the LSM interface returns 0 on success. This thinko
is now fixed in this patch, and has been confirmed to work properly.So, once again...Eric Paris noted that commit de139a3 ("pci: check caps
from sysfs file open to read device dependent config space") caused the
capability check to bypass security modules and potentially auditing.
Rectify this by calling security_capable() when checking the open file's
capabilities for config space reads.Reported-by: Eric Paris
