      toops: Sync tools/include/uapi/linux/bpf.h with the kernel · 791cceb8
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored
      The way we're using kernel headers in tools/ now, with a copy that is
      made to the same path prefixed by "tools/" plus checking if that copy
      got stale, i.e. if the kernel counterpart changed, helps in keeping
      track with new features that may be useful for tools to exploit.
      
      For instance, looking at all the changes to bpf.h since it was last
      copied to tools/include brings this to toolers' attention:
      
      Need to investigate this one to check how to run a program via perf, setting up
      a BPF event, that will take advantage of the way perf already calls clang/LLVM,
      sets up the event and runs the workload in a single command line, helping in
      debugging such semi cooperative programs:
      
        96ae5227 ("bpf: Add bpf_probe_write_user BPF helper to be called in tracers")
      
      This one needs further investigation about using the feature it improves
      in 'perf trace' to do some tcpdumpin' mixed with syscalls, tracepoints,
      probe points, callgraphs, etc:
      
        555c8a86 ("bpf: avoid stack copy and use skb ctx for event output")
      
      Add tracing just packets that are related to some container to that mix:
      
        4a482f34 ("cgroup: bpf: Add bpf_skb_in_cgroup_proto")
        4ed8ec52 ("cgroup: bpf: Add BPF_MAP_TYPE_CGROUP_ARRAY")
      
      Definetely needs to have example programs accessing task_struct from a bpf proggie
      started from 'perf trace':
      
        606274c5 ("bpf: introduce bpf_get_current_task() helper")
      
      Core networking related, XDP:
      
        6ce96ca3 ("bpf: add XDP_TX xdp_action for direct forwarding")
        6a773a15 ("bpf: add XDP prog type for early driver filter")
        13c5c240 ("bpf: add bpf_get_hash_recalc helper")
        d2485c42 ("bpf: add bpf_skb_change_type helper")
        6578171a ("bpf: add bpf_skb_change_proto helper")

      perf probe: Support signedness casting · 19f00b01
      Naohiro Aota authored
      The 'perf probe' tool detects a variable's type and use the detected
      type to add a new probe. Then, kprobes prints its variable in
      hexadecimal format if the variable is unsigned and prints in decimal if
      it is signed.
      
      We sometimes want to see unsigned variable in decimal format (i.e.
      sector_t or size_t). In that case, we need to investigate the variable's
      size manually to specify just signedness.
      
      This patch add signedness casting support. By specifying "s" or "u" as a
      type, perf-probe will investigate variable size as usual and use the
      specified signedness.
      
      E.g. without this:
      
        $ perf probe -a 'submit_bio bio->bi_iter.bi_sector'
        Added new event:
          probe:submit_bio     (on submit_bio with bi_sector=bio->bi_iter.bi_sector)
        You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:
                perf record -e probe:submit_bio -aR sleep 1
        $ cat trace_pipe|head
                dbench-9692  [003] d..1   971.096633: submit_bio: (submit_bio+0x0/0x140) bi_sector=0x3a3d00
                dbench-9692  [003] d..1   971.096685: submit_bio: (submit_bio+0x0/0x140) bi_sector=0x1a3d80
                dbench-9692  [003] d..1   971.096687: submit_bio: (submit_bio+0x0/0x140) bi_sector=0x3a3d80
      ...
        // need to investigate the variable size
        $ perf probe -a 'submit_bio bio->bi_iter.bi_sector:s64'
        Added new event:
          probe:submit_bio     (on submit_bio with bi_sector=bio->bi_iter.bi_sector:s64)
        You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:
              perf record -e probe:submit_bio -aR sleep 1
      
        With this:
      
        // just use "s" to cast its signedness
        $ perf probe -v -a 'submit_bio bio->bi_iter.bi_sector:s'
        Added new event:
          probe:submit_bio     (on submit_bio with bi_sector=bio->bi_iter.bi_sector:s)
        You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:
                perf record -e probe:submit_bio -aR sleep 1
        $ cat trace_pipe|head

        This commit also update perf-probe.txt to describe "types". Most parts
        are based on existing documentation: Documentation/trace/kprobetrace.txt

      perf stat: Avoid skew when reading events · 3df33eff
      Mark Rutland authored
      When we don't have a tracee (i.e. we're attaching to a task or CPU),
      counters can still be running after our workload finishes, and can still
      be running as we read their values. As we read events one-by-one, there
      can be arbitrary skew between values of events, even within a group.
      This means that ratios within an event group are not reliable.
      
      This skew can be seen if measuring a group of identical events, e.g:
      
        # perf stat -a -C0 -e '{cycles,cycles}' sleep 1
      
      To avoid this, we must stop groups from counting before we read the
      values of any constituent events. This patch adds and makes use of a new
      disable_counters() helper, which disables group leaders (and thus each
      group as a whole). This mirrors the use of enable_counters() for
      starting event groups in the absence of a tracee.
      
      Closing a group leader splits the group, and without a disabled group
      leader the newly split events will begin counting. Thus to ensure counts
      are reliable we must defer closing group leaders until all counts have
      been read. To do so this patch removes the event closing logic from the
      read_counters() helper, explicitly closes the events using
      perf_evlist__close(), which also aids legibility.

      perf probe: Adjust map->reloc offset when finding kernel symbol from map · 8e34189b
      Masami Hiramatsu authored
      Adjust map->reloc offset for the unmapped address when finding
      alternative symbol address from map, because KASLR can relocate the
      kernel symbol address.
      
      The same adjustment has been done when finding appropriate kernel symbol
      address from map which was introduced by commit f90acac7 ("perf
      probe: Find given address from offline dwarf")

      perf hists: Trim libtraceevent trace_seq buffers · 887fa86d
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored
      When we use libtraceevent to format trace event fields into printable
      strings to use in hist entries it is important to trim it from the
      default 4 KiB it starts with to what is really used, to reduce the
      memory footprint, so use realloc(seq.buffer, seq.len + 1) when returning
      the seq.buffer formatted with the fields contents.

      New features:
      
      - Add --sample-cpu to 'perf record', to explicitely ask for sampling
        the CPU (Jiri Olsa)
      
      Fixes:
      
      - Fix processing of multi byte chunks in objdump output, fixing
        disassemble processing for annotation on at least ARM64 (Jan Stancek)
      
      - Use SyS_epoll_wait in a BPF 'perf test' entry instead of sys_epoll_wait, that
        is not present in the DWARF info in vmlinux files (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
      
      - Add -wno-shadow when processing files using perl headers, fixing
        the build on Fedora Rawhide and Arch Linux (Namhyung Kim)
      
      Infrastructure changes:
      
      - Annotate prep work to better catch and report errors related to
        using objdump to disassemble DSOs (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

      perf tests bpf: Use SyS_epoll_wait alias · c369e0a1
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored
      Something made the sys_epoll_wait() function alias not to be found in
      the vmlinux DWARF info, being found only in /proc/kallsyms, which made
      the BPF perf tests to fail:
      
        [root@jouet ~]# perf test BPF
        37: Test BPF filter                                          :
        37.1: Test basic BPF filtering                               : FAILED!
        37.2: Test BPF prologue generation                           : Skip
        37.3: Test BPF relocation checker                            : Skip
        [root@jouet ~]#
      
      Using -v we can see it is failing to find DWARF info for the probed function,
      sys_epoll_wait, which we can find in /proc/kallsyms but not in vmlinux with
      CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO:
      
        [root@jouet ~]# grep -w sys_epoll_wait /proc/kallsyms
        ffffffffbd295b50 T sys_epoll_wait
        [root@jouet ~]#
      
        [root@jouet ~]# readelf -wi /lib/modules/4.7.0+/build/vmlinux | grep -w sys_epoll_wait
        [root@jouet ~]#
      
      If we try to use perf probe:
      
      [root@jouet ~]# perf probe sys_epoll_wait
      Failed to find debug information for address ffffffffbd295b50
      Probe point 'sys_epoll_wait' not found.
        Error: Failed to add events.
      [root@jouet ~]#
      
      It all works if we use SyS_epoll_wait, that is just an alias to the probed
      function:
      
        [root@jouet ~]# grep -i sys_epoll_wait /proc/kallsyms
        ffffffffbd295b50 T SyS_epoll_wait
        ffffffffbd295b50 T sys_epoll_wait
        [root@jouet ~]#
      
      So use it:
      
        [root@jouet ~]# perf test BPF
        37: Test BPF filter                                          :
        37.1: Test basic BPF filtering                               : Ok
        37.2: Test BPF prologue generation                           : Ok
        37.3: Test BPF relocation checker                            : Ok
        [root@jouet ~]#
      
      Further info:
      
        [root@jouet ~]# gcc --version
        gcc (GCC) 6.1.1 20160621 (Red Hat 6.1.1-3)
        [acme@jouet linux]$ cat /etc/fedora-release
        Fedora release 24 (Twenty Four)
      
      Investigation as to why it fails is still underway, but it was always
      going from sys_epoll_wait to SyS_epoll_wait when looking up the DWARF
      info in vmlinux, and this is what is breaking now.
      
      Switching to use SyS_epoll_wait allows this test to proceed and test the
      BPF code it was designed for, so lets have this in to allow passing this
      test while we fix the root cause.

      Pull userns vfs updates from Eric Biederman:
       "This tree contains some very long awaited work on generalizing the
        user namespace support for mounting filesystems to include filesystems
        with a backing store.  The real world target is fuse but the goal is
        to update the vfs to allow any filesystem to be supported.  This
        patchset is based on a lot of code review and testing to approach that
        goal.
      
        While looking at what is needed to support the fuse filesystem it
        became clear that there were things like xattrs for security modules
        that needed special treatment.  That the resolution of those concerns
        would not be fuse specific.  That sorting out these general issues
        made most sense at the generic level, where the right people could be
        drawn into the conversation, and the issues could be solved for
        everyone.
      
        At a high level what this patchset does a couple of simple things:
      
         - Add a user namespace owner (s_user_ns) to struct super_block.
      
         - Teach the vfs to handle filesystem uids and gids not mapping into
           to kuids and kgids and being reported as INVALID_UID and
           INVALID_GID in vfs data structures.
      
        By assigning a user namespace owner filesystems that are mounted with
        only user namespace privilege can be detected.  This allows security
        modules and the like to know which mounts may not be trusted.  This
        also allows the set of uids and gids that are communicated to the
        filesystem to be capped at the set of kuids and kgids that are in the
        owning user namespace of the filesystem.
      
        One of the crazier corner casees this handles is the case of inodes
        whose i_uid or i_gid are not mapped into the vfs.  Most of the code
        simply doesn't care but it is easy to confuse the inode writeback path
        so no operation that could cause an inode write-back is permitted for
        such inodes (aka only reads are allowed).
      
        This set of changes starts out by cleaning up the code paths involved
        in user namespace permirted mounts.  Then when things are clean enough
        adds code that cleanly sets s_user_ns.  Then additional restrictions
        are added that are possible now that the filesystem superblock
        contains owner information.
      
        These changes should not affect anyone in practice, but there are some
        parts of these restrictions that are changes in behavior.
      
         - Andy's restriction on suid executables that does not honor the
           suid bit when the path is from another mount namespace (think
           /proc/[pid]/fd/) or when the filesystem was mounted by a less
           privileged user.
      
         - The replacement of the user namespace implicit setting of MNT_NODEV
           with implicitly setting SB_I_NODEV on the filesystem superblock
           instead.
      
           Using SB_I_NODEV is a stronger form that happens to make this state
           user invisible.  The user visibility can be managed but it caused
           problems when it was introduced from applications reasonably
           expecting mount flags to be what they were set to.
      
        There is a little bit of work remaining before it is safe to support
        mounting filesystems with backing store in user namespaces, beyond
        what is in this set of changes.
      
         - Verifying the mounter has permission to read/write the block device
           during mount.
      
         - Teaching the integrity modules IMA and EVM to handle filesystems
           mounted with only user namespace root and to reduce trust in their
           security xattrs accordingly.
      
         - Capturing the mounters credentials and using that for permission
           checks in d_automount and the like.  (Given that overlayfs already
           does this, and we need the work in d_automount it make sense to
           generalize this case).
      
        Furthermore there are a few changes that are on the wishlist:
      
         - Get all filesystems supporting posix acls using the generic posix
           acls so that posix_acl_fix_xattr_from_user and
           posix_acl_fix_xattr_to_user may be removed.  [Maintainability]
      
         - Reducing the permission checks in places such as remount to allow
           the superblock owner to perform them.
      
         - Allowing the superblock owner to chown files with unmapped uids and
           gids to something that is mapped so the files may be treated
           normally.
      
        I am not considering even obvious relaxations of permission checks
        until it is clear there are no more corner cases that need to be
        locked down and handled generically.
      
        Many thanks to Seth Forshee who kept this code alive, and putting up
        with me rewriting substantial portions of what he did to handle more
        corner cases, and for his diligent testing and reviewing of my
        changes"

      documentation: da9052: Update regulator bindings names to match DA9052/53 DTS expectations · 099c0cbd
      Steve Twiss authored
      Buck and LDO binding name changes.
      
      The binding names for the regulators have been changed to match the current
      expectation from existing device tree source files.
      
      This fix rectifies the disparity between what currently exists in some
      .dts[i] board files and what is listed in this binding document. This
      change re-aligns those differences and also brings the binding document
      in-line with the expectations of the product datasheet from Dialog
      Semiconductor.
      
      Bucks and LDOs now follow the expected notation:
      { buck1, buck2, buck3, buck4 }
      { ldo1, ldo2, ldo3, ldo4, ldo5, ldo6, ldo7, ldo8, ldo9, ldo10 }
