perf tools: Enable reading of perf.data files from different ABI rev
This patch allows perf to process perf.data files generated
using an ABI that has a different perf_event_attr struct size,
i.e., a different ABI version.
The perf_event_attr can be extended, yet perf needs to cope with
older perf.data files. Similarly, perf must be able to cope with
a perf.data file which is using a newer version of the ABI than
what it knows about.
This patch adds read_attr(), a routine that reads a
perf_event_attr struct from a file incrementally based on its
advertised size. If the on-file struct is smaller than what perf
knows, then the extra fields are zeroed. If the on-file struct
is bigger, then perf only uses what it knows about, the rest is
skipped.
perf report: Add support for taken branch sampling
This patch adds support for taken branch sampling, i.e, the
PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_STACK feature to perf report. In other
words, to display histograms based on taken branches rather
than executed instructions addresses.
The new option is called -b and it takes no argument. To
generate meaningful output, the perf.data must have been
obtained using perf record -b xxx ... where xxx is a branch
filter option.
The output shows symbols, modules, sorted by 'who branches
where' the most often. The percentages reported in the first
column refer to the total number of branches captured and
not the usual number of samples.
Here is a quick example.
Here branchy is simple test program which looks as follows:
void f2(void)
{}
void f3(void)
{}
void f1(unsigned long n)
{
if (n & 1UL)
f2();
else
f3();
}
int main(void)
{
unsigned long i;
for (i=0; i < N; i++)
f1(i);
return 0;
}
Here is the output captured on Nehalem, if we are
only interested in user level function calls.
$ perf record -b any_call,u -e cycles:u branchy
$ perf report -b --sort=symbol
52.34% [.] main [.] f1
24.04% [.] f1 [.] f3
23.60% [.] f1 [.] f2
0.01% [k] _IO_new_file_xsputn [k] _IO_file_overflow
0.01% [k] _IO_vfprintf_internal [k] _IO_new_file_xsputn
0.01% [k] _IO_vfprintf_internal [k] strchrnul
0.01% [k] __printf [k] _IO_vfprintf_internal
0.01% [k] main [k] __printf
About half (52%) of the call branches captured are from main()
-> f1(). The second half (24%+23%) is split in two equal shares
between f1() -> f2(), f1() ->f3(). The output is as expected
given the code.
It should be noted, that using -b in perf record does not
eliminate information in the perf.data file. Consequently, a
typical profile can also be obtained by perf report by simply
not using its -b option.
perf record: Add support for sampling taken branch
This patch adds a new option to enable taken branch stack
sampling, i.e., leverage the PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_STACK feature
of perf_events.
There is a new option to active this mode: -b.
It is possible to pass a set of filters to select the type of
branches to sample.
The following filters are available:
- any : any type of branches
- any_call : any function call or system call
- any_ret : any function return or system call return
- any_ind : any indirect branch
- u: only when the branch target is at the user level
- k: only when the branch target is in the kernel
- hv: only when the branch target is in the hypervisor
Filters can be combined by passing a comma separated list
to the option:
perf: Add callback to flush branch_stack on context switch
With branch stack sampling, it is possible to filter by priv levels.
In system-wide mode, that means it is possible to capture only user
level branches. The builtin SW LBR filter needs to disassemble code
based on LBR captured addresses. For that, it needs to know the task
the addresses are associated with. Because of context switches, the
content of the branch stack buffer may contain addresses from
different tasks.
We need a callback on context switch to either flush the branch stack
or save it. This patch adds a new callback in struct pmu which is called
during context switches. The callback is called only when necessary.
That is when a system-wide context has, at least, one event which
uses PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_STACK. The callback is never called for
per-thread context.
In this version, the Intel x86 code simply flushes (resets) the LBR
on context switches (fills it with zeroes). Those zeroed branches are
then filtered out by the SW filter.
perf/x86: Add LBR software filter support for Intel CPUs
This patch adds an internal sofware filter to complement
the (optional) LBR hardware filter.
The software filter is necessary:
- as a substitute when there is no HW LBR filter (e.g., Atom, Core)
- to complement HW LBR filter in case of errata (e.g., Nehalem/Westmere)
- to provide finer grain filtering (e.g., all processors)
Sometimes the LBR HW filter cannot distinguish between two types
of branches. For instance, to capture syscall as CALLS, it is necessary
to enable the LBR_FAR filter which will also capture JMP instructions.
Thus, a second pass is necessary to filter those out, this is what the
SW filter can do.
The SW filter is built on top of the internal x86 disassembler. It
is a best effort filter especially for user level code. It is subject
to the availability of the text page of the program.
The SW filter is enabled on all Intel processors. It is bypassed
when the user is capturing all branches at all priv levels.
perf/x86: Disable LBR support for older Intel Atom processors
The patch adds a restriction for Intel Atom LBR support. Only
steppings 10 (PineView) and more recent are supported. Older models
do not have a functional LBR. Their LBR does not freeze on PMU
interrupt which makes LBR unusable in the context of perf_events.
perf/x86: Sync branch stack sampling with precise_sampling
If precise sampling is enabled on Intel x86 then perf_event uses PEBS.
To correct for the off-by-one error of PEBS, perf_event uses LBR when
precise_sample > 1.
On Intel x86 PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_STACK is implemented using LBR,
therefore both features must be coordinated as they may not
configure LBR the same way.
For PEBS, LBR needs to capture all branches at the priv level of
the associated event.
This patch checks that the branch type and priv level of BRANCH_STACK
is compatible with that of the PEBS LBR requirement, thereby allowing:
The Intel LBR on some recent processor is capable
of filtering branches by type. The filter is configurable
via the LBR_SELECT MSR register.
There are limitation on how this register can be used.
On Nehalem/Westmere, the LBR_SELECT is shared by the two HT threads
when HT is on. It is private to each core when HT is off.
On SandyBridge, the LBR_SELECT register is private to each thread
when HT is on. It is private to each core when HT is off.
The kernel must manage the sharing of LBR_SELECT. It allows
multiple users on the same logical CPU to use LBR_SELECT as
long as they program it with the same value. Across sibling
CPUs (HT threads), the same restriction applies on NHM/WSM.
This patch implements this sharing logic by leveraging the
mechanism put in place for managing the offcore_response
shared MSR.
We modify __intel_shared_reg_get_constraints() to cause
x86_get_event_constraint() to be called because LBR may
be associated with events that may be counter constrained.
This patch adds the ability to sample taken branches to the
perf_event interface.
The ability to capture taken branches is very useful for all
sorts of analysis. For instance, basic block profiling, call
counts, statistical call graph.
This new capability requires hardware assist and as such may
not be available on all HW platforms. On Intel x86 it is
implemented on top of the Last Branch Record (LBR) facility.
To enable taken branches sampling, the PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_STACK
bit must be set in attr->sample_type.
Sampled taken branches may be filtered by type and/or priv
levels.
The patch adds a new field, called branch_sample_type, to the
perf_event_attr structure. It contains a bitmask of filters
to apply to the sampled taken branches.
Filters may be implemented in HW. If the HW filter does not exist
or is not good enough, some arch may also implement a SW filter.
The following generic filters are currently defined:
- PERF_SAMPLE_USER
only branches whose targets are at the user level
- PERF_SAMPLE_KERNEL
only branches whose targets are at the kernel level
- PERF_SAMPLE_HV
only branches whose targets are at the hypervisor level
- PERF_SAMPLE_ANY
any type of branches (subject to priv levels filters)
- PERF_SAMPLE_ANY_CALL
any call branches (may incl. syscall on some arch)
- PERF_SAMPLE_ANY_RET
any return branches (may incl. syscall returns on some arch)
- PERF_SAMPLE_IND_CALL
indirect call branches
Obviously filter may be combined. The priv level bits are optional.
If not provided, the priv level of the associated event are used. It
is possible to collect branches at a priv level different from the
associated event. Use of kernel, hv priv levels is subject to permissions
and availability (hv).
The number of taken branch records present in each sample may vary based
on HW, the type of sampled branches, the executed code. Therefore
each sample contains the number of taken branches it contains.
perf tools: Handle kernels that don't support attr.exclude_{guest,host}
Just fall back to resetting those fields, if set, warning the user that
that feature is not available.
If guest samples appear they will just be discarded because no struct
machine will be found and thus the event will be accounted as not
handled and dropped, see 0c09571.

This patch works around this issue by masking out the HO bit

The GO bit is not touched because it is only set when the

to set the attribute, whereas things like GLIBC that don't care
about VFs simply will not, and therefore won't be busted by the
mere presence of VFs on a network device.

autofs: work around unhappy compat problem on x86-64
When the autofs protocol version 5 packet type was added in commit 5c0a32fc2cd0 ("autofs4: add new packet type for v5 communications"), it
obvously tried quite hard to be word-size agnostic, and uses explicitly
sized fields that are all correctly aligned.
However, with the final "char name[NAME_MAX+1]" array at the end, the
actual size of the structure ends up being not very well defined:
because the struct isn't marked 'packed', doing a "sizeof()" on it will
align the size of the struct up to the biggest alignment of the members
it has.
And despite all the members being the same, the alignment of them is
different: a "__u64" has 4-byte alignment on x86-32, but native 8-byte
alignment on x86-64. And while 'NAME_MAX+1' ends up being a nice round
number (256), the name[] array starts out a 4-byte aligned.
End result: the "packed" size of the structure is 300 bytes: 4-byte, but
not 8-byte aligned.
As a result, despite all the fields being in the same place on all
architectures, sizeof() will round up that size to 304 bytes on
architectures that have 8-byte alignment for u64.
Note that this is *not* a problem for 32-bit compat mode on POWER, since
there __u64 is 8-byte aligned even in 32-bit mode. But on x86, 32-bit
and 64-bit alignment is different for 64-bit entities, and as a result
the structure that has exactly the same layout has different sizes.
So on x86-64, but no other architecture, we will just subtract 4 from
the size of the structure when running in a compat task. That way we
will write the properly sized packet that user mode expects.
Not pretty. Sadly, this very subtle, and unnecessary, size difference
has been encoded in user space that wants to read packets of *exactly*
the right size, and will refuse to touch anything else.

sfc: Fix assignment of ip_summed for pre-allocated skbs
When pre-allocating skbs for received packets, we set ip_summed =
CHECKSUM_UNNCESSARY. We used to change it back to CHECKSUM_NONE when
the received packet had an incorrect checksum or unhandled protocol.
Commit bc8acf2c8c3e43fcc192762a9f964b3e9a17748b ('drivers/net: avoid
some skb->ip_summed initializations') mistakenly replaced the latter
assignment with a DEBUG-only assertion that ip_summed ==
CHECKSUM_NONE. This assertion is always false, but it seems no-one
has exercised this code path in a DEBUG build.
Fix this by moving our assignment of CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY into

ppp: fix 'ppp_mp_reconstruct bad seq' errors
This patch fixes a (mostly cosmetic) bug introduced by the patch
'ppp: Use SKB queue abstraction interfaces in fragment processing'
found here: http://www.spinics.net/lists/netdev/msg153312.html
The above patch rewrote and moved the code responsible for cleaning
up discarded fragments but the new code does not catch every case
where this is necessary. This results in some discarded fragments
remaining in the queue, and triggering a 'bad seq' error on the
subsequent call to ppp_mp_reconstruct. Fragments are discarded
whenever other fragments of the same frame have been lost.
This can generate a lot of unwanted and misleading log messages.
This patch also adds additional detail to the debug logging to
make it clearer which fragments were lost and which other fragments
were discarded as a result of losses. (Run pppd with 'kdebug 1'
option to enable debug logging.)

epoll: ep_unregister_pollwait() can use the freed pwq->whead
signalfd_cleanup() ensures that ->signalfd_wqh is not used, but
this is not enough. eppoll_entry->whead still points to the memory
we are going to free, ep_unregister_pollwait()->remove_wait_queue()
is obviously unsafe.
Change ep_poll_callback(POLLFREE) to set eppoll_entry->whead = NULL,
change ep_unregister_pollwait() to check pwq->whead != NULL under
rcu_read_lock() before remove_wait_queue(). We add the new helper,
ep_remove_wait_queue(), for this.
This works because sighand_cachep is SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU and because
->signalfd_wqh is initialized in sighand_ctor(), not in copy_sighand.
ep_unregister_pollwait()->remove_wait_queue() can play with already
freed and potentially reused ->sighand, but this is fine. This memory
must have the valid ->signalfd_wqh until rcu_read_unlock().

epoll: introduce POLLFREE to flush ->signalfd_wqh before kfree()
This patch is intentionally incomplete to simplify the review.
It ignores ep_unregister_pollwait() which plays with the same wqh.
See the next change.
epoll assumes that the EPOLL_CTL_ADD'ed file controls everything
f_op->poll() needs. In particular it assumes that the wait queue
can't go away until eventpoll_release(). This is not true in case
of signalfd, the task which does EPOLL_CTL_ADD uses its ->sighand
which is not connected to the file.
This patch adds the special event, POLLFREE, currently only for
epoll. It expects that init_poll_funcptr()'ed hook should do the
necessary cleanup. Perhaps it should be defined as EPOLLFREE in
eventpoll.
__cleanup_sighand() is changed to do wake_up_poll(POLLFREE) if
->signalfd_wqh is not empty, we add the new signalfd_cleanup()
helper.
ep_poll_callback(POLLFREE) simply does list_del_init(task_list).
This make this poll entry inconsistent, but we don't care. If you
share epoll fd which contains our sigfd with another process you
should blame yourself. signalfd is "really special". I simply do
not know how we can define the "right" semantics if it used with
epoll.
The main problem is, epoll calls signalfd_poll() once to establish
the connection with the wait queue, after that signalfd_poll(NULL)
returns the different/inconsistent results depending on who does
EPOLL_CTL_MOD/signalfd_read/etc. IOW: apart from sigmask, signalfd
has nothing to do with the file, it works with the current thread.
In short: this patch is the hack which tries to fix the symptoms.
It also assumes that nobody can take tasklist_lock under epoll
locks, this seems to be true.
Note:
- we do not have wake_up_all_poll() but wake_up_poll()
is fine, poll/epoll doesn't use WQ_FLAG_EXCLUSIVE.
- signalfd_cleanup() uses POLLHUP along with POLLFREE,
we need a couple of simple changes in eventpoll.c to
make sure it can't be "lost".

mm: memcg: Correct unregistring of events attached to the same eventfd
There is an issue when memcg unregisters events that were attached to
the same eventfd:
- On the first call mem_cgroup_usage_unregister_event() removes all
events attached to a given eventfd, and if there were no events left,
thresholds->primary would become NULL;
- Since there were several events registered, cgroups core will call
mem_cgroup_usage_unregister_event() again, but now kernel will oops,
as the function doesn't expect that threshold->primary may be NULL.
That's a good question whether mem_cgroup_usage_unregister_event()
should actually remove all events in one go, but nowadays it can't
do any better as cftype->unregister_event callback doesn't pass
any private event-associated cookie. So, let's fix the issue by
simply checking for threshold->primary.

netfilter: ctnetlink: fix soft lockup when netlink adds new entries (v2)
Marcell Zambo and Janos Farago noticed and reported that when
new conntrack entries are added via netlink and the conntrack table

to lock nf_conntrack_lock while evicting entries from the full table.
The patch fixes the soft lockup with limiting the holding of the

Extended VBLKs (those larger than the preset VBLK size) are divided
into fragments, each with its own VBLK header. Our LDM implementation
generally assumes that each VBLK is contiguous in memory, so these
fragments must be assembled before further processing.
Currently the reassembly seems to be done quite wrongly - no VBLK
header is copied into the contiguous buffer, and the length of the
header is subtracted twice from each fragment. Also the total

static keys: Introduce 'struct static_key', static_key_true()/false() and static_key_slow_[inc|dec]()

more intuitive to use facility. It should also address the
various misconceptions and confusions that surround jump labels.
Typical usage scenarios:
#include <linux/static_key.h>
struct static_key key = STATIC_KEY_INIT_TRUE;
if (static_key_false(&key))
do unlikely code
else
do likely code
Or:
if (static_key_true(&key))
do likely code
else
do unlikely code
The 'slow' prefix makes it abundantly clear that this is an
expensive operation.
I've updated all in-kernel code to use this everywhere. Note
that I (intentionally) have not pushed through the rename
blindly through to the lowest levels: the actual jump-label
patching arch facility should be named like that, so we want to
decouple jump labels from the static-key facility a bit.
On non-jump-label enabled architectures static keys default to
likely()/unlikely() branches.
Said commit adds a check whether the carrier link is ok. If the link is
not ok, the skb is freed and no new dma descriptor added to the rx dma
channel. This causes trouble during initialization when the carrier
status has not yet been updated. If a lot of packets are received while
netif_carrier_ok returns false, all dma descriptors are freed and the
rx dma transfer is stopped.
The bug occurs when the board is connected to a network with lots of
traffic and the ifconfig down/up is done, e.g., when reconfiguring
the interface with DHCP.
The bug can be reproduced by flood pinging the davinci board while doing
ifconfig eth0 down
ifconfig eth0 up
on the board.
After that, the rx path stops working and the overrun value reported
by ifconfig is counting up.

Btrfs: clear the extent uptodate bits during parent transid failures
If btrfs reads a block and finds a parent transid mismatch, it clears
the uptodate flags on the extent buffer, and the pages inside it. But
we only clear the uptodate bits in the state tree if the block straddles
more than one page.
This is from an old optimization from to reduce contention on the extent
state tree. But it is buggy because the code that retries a read from
a different copy of the block is going to find the uptodate state bits
set and skip the IO.
The end result of the bug is that we'll never actually read the good
copy (if there is one).
The fix here is to always clear the uptodate state bits, which is safe
