Post processing at 'perf record' takes a long time on big machines. What it does is to find the build-id of binaries found in the event stream, so that it can make sure, at 'report' time, that the symtabs (be it ELF, kallsyms, etc) being used to resolve symbols are the ones matching the binaries found at 'record' time. Sometimes we just want to skip this processing of events at the end of the session to get quicker results, making sure the binaries haven't changed from 'record' to 'report' time. Add a new config option to control this behavior. The record.build-id config variable can have one of the following values: - cache: post-process data and save/update the binaries into the build-id cache (in ~/.debug). This is the default. - no-cache: post-process the data but not update the build-id cache. Same effect as using the -N option. - skip: skip post-processing and do not update the cache. Same effect as using the -B option. Reported-and-Acked-by:Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@infradead.org> Signed-off-by:

Make perf-record command support --vmlinux option if BPF_PROLOGUE is on. 'perf record' needs vmlinux as the source of DWARF info to generate prologue for BPF programs, so path of vmlinux should be specified. Short name 'k' has been taken by 'clockid'. This patch skips the short option name and uses '--vmlinux' for vmlinux path. Documentation is also updated. Test result: In a production (or broken) environment: (by: # rm -rf ~/.debug/ # mv /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build/vmlinux /tmp/ ) # ./perf record -e ./test_bpf_base.c ls Failed to find the path for kernel: No such file or directory event syntax error: './test_bpf_base.c' \___ You need to check probing points in BPF file ... # ./perf record --vmlinux /tmp/vmlinux -e ./test_bpf_base.c ls ...

This patch keeps options of perf builtins same in all conditions. If one option is disabled because of compiling options, users should be notified. Masami suggested another implementation in [1] that, by adding a OPTION_NEXT_DEPENDS option before those options in the 'struct option' array, options parser knows an option is disabled. However, in some cases this array is reordered (options__order()). In addition, in parse-option.c that array is const, so we can't simply merge information in decorator option into the affacted option. This patch chooses a simpler implementation that, introducing a set_option_nobuild() function and two option parsing flags. Builtins with such options should call set_option_nobuild() before option parsing. The complexity of this patch is because we want some of options can be skipped safely. In this case their arguments should also be consumed. Options in 'perf record' and 'perf probe' are fixed in this patch.

Currently if kptr_restrict is enabled, all hist tests failed with segfaults. This is because machine__create_kernel_maps() in setup_fake_machine() failed in that situation, and it called machine__delete() on the error path. But outer callers again called machines__exit() causing double free for the host machine. Signed-off-by:

So this user tools patch to make use of it should be merged now] Automatically disable collecting branch flags and cycles with --call-graph lbr. This allows avoiding a bunch of extra MSR reads in the PMI on Skylake.

We should always return from thread__new(), the constructor, with the object with a reference count of one, so that: struct thread *thread = thread__new(); thread__put(thread); Will call thread__delete(). If any reference is made to that 'thread' variable, it better use thread__get(thread) to hold a reference. We were returning with thread->refcnt set to zero, fix it and some cases where thread__delete() was being called, which were not a problem because just one reference was being used, now that we set it to 1, use thread__put() instead.

Jan Stancek reported that I wrecked things for him by fixing things for Vladimir :/ His report was due to an UNINTERRUPTIBLE wait getting -EINTR, which should not be possible, however my previous patch made this possible by unconditionally checking signal_pending(). We cannot use current->state as was done previously, because the instruction after the store to that variable it can be changed. We must instead pass the initial state along and use that.

Recent changes to how GFP_ATOMIC is defined seems to have broken the condition to use mips_alloc_from_contiguous() in mips_dma_alloc_coherent(). I couldn't bottom out the exact change but I think it's this commit d0164adc ("mm, page_alloc: distinguish between being unable to sleep, unwilling to sleep and avoiding waking kswapd"). GFP_ATOMIC has multiple bits set and the check for !(gfp & GFP_ATOMIC) isn't enough. The reason behind this condition is to check whether we can potentially do a sleeping memory allocation. Use gfpflags_allow_blocking() instead which should be more robust. Signed-off-by:

If a process is forked by init and selected for oom kill while still sharing init_mm, then it's likely this system is in a recoverable state. However, it's better not to try to kill init and allow the machine to panic due to unkillable processes.

Commit bdee237c ("x86: mm: Use 2GB memory block size on large-memory x86-64 systems") and 982792c7 ("x86, mm: probe memory block size for generic x86 64bit") introduced large block sizes for x86. This made it possible to have multiple sections per memory block where previously, there was a only every one section per block. Since blocks consist of contiguous ranges of section, there can be holes in the blocks where sections are not present. If one attempts to offline such a block, a crash occurs since the code is not designed to deal with this. This patch is a quick fix to gaurd against the crash by not allowing blocks with non-present sections to be offlined. Addresses https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=107781Signed-off-by:

Dmitry Vyukov provides a little program, autogenerated by syzkaller, which races a fault on a mapping of a sparse memfd object, against truncation of that object below the fault address: run repeatedly for a few minutes, it reliably generates shmem_evict_inode()'s WARN_ON(inode->i_blocks). (But there's nothing specific to memfd here, nor to the fstat which it happened to use to generate the fault: though that looked suspicious, since a shmem_recalc_inode() had been added there recently. The same problem can be reproduced with open+unlink in place of memfd_create, and with fstatfs in place of fstat.) v3.7 commit 0f3c42f5 ("tmpfs: change final i_blocks BUG to WARNING") explains one cause of such a warning (a race with shmem_writepage to swap), and possible solutions; but we never took it further, and this syzkaller incident turns out to have a different cause. shmem_getpage_gfp()'s error recovery, when a freshly allocated page is then found to be beyond eof, looks plausible - decrementing the alloced count that was just before incremented - but in fact can go wrong, if a racing thread (the truncator, for example) gets its shmem_recalc_inode() in just after our delete_from_page_cache(). delete_from_page_cache() decrements nrpages, that shmem_recalc_inode() will balance the books by decrementing alloced itself, then our decrement of alloced take it one too low: leading to the WARNING when the object is finally evicted. Once the new page has been exposed in the page cache, shmem_getpage_gfp() must leave it to shmem_recalc_inode() itself to get the accounting right in all cases (and not fall through from "trunc:" to "decused:"). Adjust that error recovery block; and the reinitialization of info and sbinfo can be removed too. While we're here, fix shmem_writepage() to avoid the original issue: it will be safe against a racing shmem_recalc_inode(), if it merely increments swapped before the shmem_delete_from_page_cache() which decrements nrpages (but it must then do its own shmem_recalc_inode() before that, while still in balance, instead of after). (Aside: why do we shmem_recalc_inode() here in the swap path? Because its raison d'etre is to cope with clean sparse shmem pages being reclaimed behind our back: so here when swapping is a good place to look for that case.) But I've not now managed to reproduce this bug, even without the patch. I don't see why I didn't do that earlier: perhaps inhibited by the preference to eliminate shmem_recalc_inode() altogether. Driven by this incident, I do now have a patch to do so at last; but still want to sit on it for a bit, there's a couple of questions yet to be resolved. Signed-off-by:

However, the root cause for the above memory leak resides in region_del. In this specific case, a "placeholder" entry is created in region_chg. The associated page allocation fails, and the placeholder entry is left in the reserve map. This is "by design" as the entry should be deleted when the map is released. The bug is in the region_del routine which is used to delete entries within a specific range (and when the map is released). region_del did not handle the case where a placeholder entry exactly matched the start of the range range to be deleted. In this case, the entry would not be deleted and leaked. The fix is to take these special placeholder entries into account in region_del. The region_chg error path leak is also fixed.
