[PATCH 00/13] perf: Employ SBRM to simplify error handling -- batch 1/3

[PATCH 00/13] perf: Employ SBRM to simplify error handling -- batch 1/3

[Peter Zijlstra]

Hi,

These few patches start the process of using Scope Based Resource Management
(SBRM) for the perf core.

As per the subject, I have cut all the patches I have for this into 3 separate
parts so as to not overload you all with some 35+ patches.

I plan to post the next batch in about a week or so, we'll see. I'm hoping we
can get them all merged in time for 6.8.

The full pile can be admired here:

[PATCH 01/13] perf: Simplify perf_event_alloc() error path

[Peter Zijlstra]

The error cleanup sequence in perf_event_alloc() is a subset of the
existing _free_event() function (it must of course be).

Split this out into __free_event() and simplify the error path.

[PATCH 02/13] perf: Simplify perf_pmu_register() error path

[Peter Zijlstra]

The error path of perf_pmu_register() is of course very similar to a
subset of perf_pmu_unregister(). Extract this common part in
perf_pmu_free() and simplify things.

hum, so this is now called all the time via __free_event, but it should
be called only if we passed get_callchain_buffers call.. this could screw
up nr_callchain_events number eventually no?

I'm afraid of this part.  If it failed at perf_init_event(), it might
call event->destroy() already.  I saw you cleared event->pmu
in the failure path.  Maybe we need the same thing for the
event->destroy.

Any reason for this change?  I think we can just change the
'goto next' to 'continue', no?

Also I think this code needs changes to optimize the access.
A similar reason for the cgroup switch, it accesses all the
pmu/events in the context even before checking the sampling
frequency.  This is bad for uncore PMUs (and KVM too).

But this is a different issue..

Thanks,
Namhyung

Yes, good catch, thanks!

In that case event->destroy will not yet have been set, no?

And once it is set, we should call it.

Linus initially got confused about the life-time of for-loop scopes, but
yeah, this could be continue just fine.

Right, lets do that in another patch. Also, there seems to be a problem
with the cgroup thing :/

In perf_try_init_event(), it calls event->destroy() if set when it
has EXTENDED_REGS or NO_EXCLUDE capabilities and returns an error.
