CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_MEMORY=y randomizes the physical memmap and thus the address where the initrd is located. Therefore, we need to add the offset KASLR put us to in order to find the initrd again on the AP path. In the future, we will get rid of the initrd address caching and query the address on both the BSP and AP paths but that would need more work. Thanks to Nicolai Stange for the good bisection and debugging work.

Pull perf updates from Ingo Molnar: "With over 300 commits it's been a busy cycle - with most of the work concentrated on the tooling side (as it should). The main kernel side enhancements were: - Add per event callchain limit: Recently we introduced a sysctl to tune the max-stack for all events for which callchains were requested: $ sysctl kernel.perf_event_max_stack kernel.perf_event_max_stack = 127 Now this patch introduces a way to configure this per event, i.e. this becomes possible: $ perf record -e sched:*/max-stack=2/ -e block:*/max-stack=10/ -a allowing finer tuning of how much buffer space callchains use. This uses an u16 from the reserved space at the end, leaving another u16 for future use. There has been interest in even finer tuning, namely to control the max stack for kernel and userspace callchains separately. Further discussion is needed, we may for instance use the remaining u16 for that and when it is present, assume that the sample_max_stack introduced in this patch applies for the kernel, and the u16 left is used for limiting the userspace callchain (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo) - Optimize AUX event (hardware assisted side-band event) delivery (Kan Liang) - Rework Intel family name macro usage (this is partially x86 arch work) (Dave Hansen) - Refine and fix Intel LBR support (David Carrillo-Cisneros) - Add support for Intel 'TopDown' events (Andi Kleen) - Intel uncore PMU driver fixes and enhancements (Kan Liang) - ... other misc changes. Here's an incomplete list of the tooling enhancements (but there's much more, see the shortlog and the git log for details): - Support cross unwinding, i.e. collecting '--call-graph dwarf' perf.data files in one machine and then doing analysis in another machine of a different hardware architecture. This enables, for instance, to do: $ perf record -a --call-graph dwarf on a x86-32 or aarch64 system and then do 'perf report' on it on a x86_64 workstation (He Kuang) - Allow reading from a backward ring buffer (one setup via sys_perf_event_open() with perf_event_attr.write_backward = 1) (Wang Nan) - Finish merging initial SDT (Statically Defined Traces) support, see cset comments for details about how it all works (Masami Hiramatsu) - Support attaching eBPF programs to tracepoints (Wang Nan) - Add demangling of symbols in programs written in the Rust language (David Tolnay) - Add support for tracepoints in the python binding, including an example, that sets up and parses sched:sched_switch events, tools/perf/python/tracepoint.py (Jiri Olsa) - Introduce --stdio-color to set up the color output mode selection in 'annotate' and 'report', allowing emit color escape sequences when redirecting the output of these tools (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo) - Add 'callindent' option to 'perf script -F', to indent the Intel PT call stack, making this output more ftrace-like (Adrian Hunter, Andi Kleen) - Allow dumping the object files generated by llvm when processing eBPF scriptlet events (Wang Nan) - Add stackcollapse.py script to help generating flame graphs (Paolo Bonzini) - Add --ldlat option to 'perf mem' to specify load latency for loads event (e.g. cpu/mem-loads/ ) (Jiri Olsa) - Tooling support for Intel TopDown counters, recently added to the kernel (Andi Kleen)" * 'perf-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (303 commits) perf tests: Add is_printable_array test perf tools: Make is_printable_array global perf script python: Fix string vs byte array resolving perf probe: Warn unmatched function filter correctly perf cpu_map: Add more helpers perf stat: Balance opening and reading events tools: Copy linux/{hash,poison}.h and check for drift perf tools: Remove include/linux/list.h from perf's MANIFEST tools: Copy the bitops files accessed from the kernel and check for drift Remove: kernel unistd*h files from perf's MANIFEST, not used perf tools: Remove tools/perf/util/include/linux/const.h perf tools: Remove tools/perf/util/include/asm/byteorder.h perf tools: Add missing linux/compiler.h include to perf-sys.h perf jit: Remove some no-op error handling perf jit: Add missing curly braces objtool: Initialize variable to silence old compiler objtool: Add -I$(srctree)/tools/arch/$(ARCH)/include/uapi perf record: Add --tail-synthesize option perf session: Don't warn about out of order event if write_backward is used perf tools: Enable overwrite settings ...

This reverts commit e083a21f. Not needed at all, tools/perf/util/perf_regs.h, included via: #include "perf_regs.h" Should have a definition for PERF_REGS_MAX, and since this is dependent on HAVE_PERF_REGS_SUPPORT, fixes the build on powerpc, noticed by trying to cross compile this from ubuntu16.04 with a locally build libz & elfutils pair, since those are not available in multilib packages.

Pull gfs2 updates from Bob Peterson: "We've got ten patches this time, half of which are related to a plethora of nasty outcomes when inodes are transitioned from the unlinked state to the free state. Small file systems are particularly vulnerable to these problems, and it can manifest as mainly hangs, but also file system corruption. The patches have been tested for literally many weeks, with a very gruelling test, so I have a high level of confidence. - Andreas Gruenbacher wrote a series of five patches for various lockups during the transition of inodes from unlinked to free. The main patch is titled "Fix gfs2_lookup_by_inum lock inversion" and the other four are support and cleanup patches related to that. - Ben Marzinski contributed two patches with regard to a recreatable problem when gfs2 tries to write a page to a file that is being truncated, resulting in a BUG() in gfs2_remove_from_journal. Note that Ben had to export vfs function __block_write_full_page to get this to work properly. It's been posted a long time and he talked to various VFS people about it, and nobody seemed to mind. - I contributed 3 patches: o The first one fixes a memory corruptor: a race in which one process can overwrite the gl_object pointer set by another process, causing kernel panic and other symptoms. o The second patch fixes another race that resulted in a false-positive BUG_ON. This occurred when resource group reservations were freed by one process while another process was trying to grab a new reservation in the same resource group. o The third patch fixes a problem with doing journal replay when the journals are not all the same size" * tag 'gfs2-4.7.fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gfs2/linux-gfs2: GFS2: Fix gfs2_replay_incr_blk for multiple journal sizes GFS2: Check rs_free with rd_rsspin protection gfs2: writeout truncated pages fs: export __block_write_full_page gfs2: Lock holder cleanup gfs2: Large-filesystem fix for 32-bit systems gfs2: Get rid of gfs2_ilookup gfs2: Fix gfs2_lookup_by_inum lock inversion gfs2: Initialize iopen glock holder for new inodes GFS2: don't set rgrp gl_object until it's inserted into rgrp tree

Valdis Kletnieks bisected a boot failure back to this recent commit: 360cb4d1 ("x86/mm/cpa: In populate_pgd(), don't set the PGD entry until it's populated") I broke the case where a PUD table got allocated -- populate_pud() would wander off a pgd_none entry and get lost. I'm not sure how this survived my testing. Fix the original issue in a much simpler way. The problem was that, if we allocated a PUD table, failed to populate it, and freed it, another CPU could potentially keep using the PGD entry we installed (either by copying it via vmalloc_fault or by speculatively caching it). There's a straightforward fix: simply leave the top-level entry in place if this happens. This can't waste any significant amount of memory -- there are at most 256 entries like this systemwide and, as a practical matter, if we hit this failure path repeatedly, we're likely to reuse the same page anyway. For context, this is a reversion with this hunk added in: if (ret < 0) { + /* + * Leave the PUD page in place in case some other CPU or thread + * already found it, but remove any useless entries we just + * added to it. + */ - unmap_pgd_range(cpa->pgd, addr, + unmap_pud_range(pgd_entry, addr, addr + (cpa->numpages << PAGE_SHIFT)); return ret; } This effectively open-codes what the now-deleted unmap_pgd_range() function used to do except that unmap_pgd_range() used to try to free the page as well.
