      Pull block fixes from Jens Axboe:
 "Four small fixes for this cycle:

   - followup fix from Neil for a fix that went in before -rc2, ensuring
     that we always see the full per-task bio_list.

   - fix for blk-mq-sched from me that ensures that we retain similar
     direct-to-issue behavior on running the queue.

   - fix from Sagi fixing a potential NULL pointer dereference in blk-mq
     on spurious CPU unplug.

   - a memory leak fix in writeback from Tahsin, fixing a case where
     device removal of a mounted device can leak a struct
     wb_writeback_work"

* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block:
  blk-mq-sched: don't run the queue async from blk_mq_try_issue_directly()
  writeback: fix memory leak in wb_queue_work()
  blk-mq: Fix tagset reinit in the presence of cpu hot-unplug
  blk: Ensure users for current->bio_list can see the full list.

      perf tools: Make perf_event__synthesize_mmap_events() scale · 88b897a3
      Stephane Eranian authored 
      This patch significantly improves the execution time of
perf_event__synthesize_mmap_events() when running perf record on systems
where processes have lots of threads.

It just happens that cat /proc/pid/maps support uses a O(N^2) algorithm to
generate each map line in the maps file.  If you have 1000 threads, then you
have necessarily 1000 stacks.  For each vma, you need to check if it
corresponds to a thread's stack.  With a large number of threads, this can take
a very long time. I have seen latencies >> 10mn.

As of today, perf does not use the fact that a mapping is a stack, therefore we
can work around the issue by using /proc/pid/tasks/pid/maps.  This entry does
not try to map a vma to stack and is thus much faster with no loss of
functonality.

The proc-map-timeout logic is kept in case users still want some upper limit.

In V2, we fix the file path from /proc/pid/tasks/pid/maps to actual
/proc/pid/task/pid/maps, tasks -> task.  Thanks Arnaldo for catching this.

Committer note:

This problem seems to have been elliminated in the kernel since commit :
b18cb64e ("fs/proc: Stop trying to report thread stacks").

      trace/kprobes: Fix check for kretprobe offset within function entry · 1d585e70
      Naveen N. Rao authored 
      perf specifies an offset from _text and since this offset is fed
directly into the arch-specific helper, kprobes tracer rejects
installation of kretprobes through perf. Fix this by looking up the
actual offset from a function for the specified sym+offset.

Refactor and reuse existing routines to limit code duplication -- we
repurpose kprobe_addr() for determining final kprobe address and we
split out the function entry offset determination into a separate
generic helper.

Before patch:

  naveen@ubuntu:~/linux/tools/perf$ sudo ./perf probe -v do_open%return
  probe-definition(0): do_open%return

  naveen@ubuntu:~/linux/tools/perf$ dmesg | tail

  [   33.568656] Given offset is not valid for return probe.

After patch:

  naveen@ubuntu:~/linux/tools/perf$ sudo ./perf probe -v do_open%return
  probe-definition(0): do_open%return

      Merge tag 'perf-core-for-mingo-4.12-20170314' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/acme/linux into perf/core

Pull perf/core improvements and fixes from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:

New features:

- Add PERF_RECORD_NAMESPACES so that the kernel can record information
  required to associate samples to namespaces, helping in container
  problem characterization.

  Now the 'perf record has a --namespace' option to ask for such info,
  and when present, it can be used, initially, via a new sort order,
  'cgroup_id', allowing histogram entry bucketization by a (device, inode)
  based cgroup identifier (Hari Bathini)

- Add --next option to 'perf sched timehist', showing what is the next
  thread to run (Brendan Gregg)

Fixes:

- Fix segfault with basic block 'cycles' sort dimension (Changbin Du)

- Add c2c to command-list.txt, making it appear in the 'perf help'
  output (Changbin Du)

- Fix zeroing of 'abs_path' variable in the perf hists browser switch
  file code (Changbin Du)

- Hide tips messages when -q/--quiet is given to 'perf report' (Namhyung Kim)

Infrastructure changes:

- Use ref_reloc_sym + offset to setup kretprobes (Naveen Rao)

- Ignore generated files pmu-events/{jevents,pmu-events.c} for git (Changbin Du)

Documentation changes:

- Document +field style argument support for --field option (Changbin Du)

- Clarify 'perf c2c --stats' help message (Namhyung Kim)

 "This is a rather large set of fixes. The bulk are for lpfc correcting
  a lot of issues in the new NVME driver code which just went in in the
  merge window.

  The others are:

   - fix a hang in the vmware paravirt driver caused by incorrect
     handling of the new MSI vector allocation

   - long standing bug in storvsc, which recent block changes turned
     from being a harmless annoyance into a hang

   - yet more fallout (in mpt3sas) from the changes to device blocking

  The remainder are small fixes and updates"
