Now that comm strings are allocated only once and refcounted to be shared among threads, these can now be safely compared by addresses. This should remove most hists collapses on post processing.

This new COMM infrastructure provides two features: 1) It keeps track of all comms lifecycle for a given thread. This way we can associate a timeframe to any thread COMM, as long as PERF_SAMPLE_TIME samples are joined to COMM and fork events. As a result we should have more precise COMM sorted hists with seperated entries for pre and post exec time after a fork. 2) It also makes sure that a given COMM string is not duplicated but rather shared among the threads that refer to it. This way the threads COMM can be compared against pointer values from the sort infrastructure.

This way we can later delimit a lifecycle for the COMM and map a hist to a precise COMM:timeslice couple. PERF_RECORD_COMM and PERF_RECORD_FORK events that don't have PERF_SAMPLE_TIME samples can only send 0 value as a timestamp and thus should overwrite any previous COMM on a given thread because there is no sensible way to keep track of all the comms lifecycles in a thread without time informations.

As the thread comm is going to be implemented by way of a more complicated data structure than just a pointer to a string from the thread struct, convert the readers of comm to use an accessor instead of accessing it directly. The accessor will be later overriden to support an enhanced comm implementation.

Negative message lengths make no sense -- so don't do negative queue lenghts or identifier counts. Prevent them from getting negative. Also change the underlying data types to be unsigned to avoid hairy surprises with sign extensions in cases where those variables get evaluated in unsigned expressions with bigger data types, e.g size_t. In case a user still wants to have "unlimited" sizes she could just use INT_MAX instead.

A vmalloc fault needs to sync up PGD/PTE entry from init_mm to current task's "active_mm". ARC vmalloc fault handler however was using mm. A vmalloc fault for non user task context (actually pre-userland, from init thread's open for /dev/console) caused the handler to deref NULL mm (for mm->pgd) The reasons it worked so far is amazing: 1. By default (!SMP), vmalloc fault handler uses a cached value of PGD. In SMP that MMU register is repurposed hence need for mm pointer deref. 2. In pre-3.12 SMP kernel, the problem triggering vmalloc didn't exist in pre-userland code path - it was introduced with commit 20bafb3d "n_tty: Move buffers into n_tty_data" Signed-off-by: Vineet Gupta <vgupta@synopsys.com> Cc: Gilad Ben-Yossef <gilad@benyossef.com> Cc: Noam Camus <noamc@ezchip.com> Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org #3.10 and 3.11 Cc: Peter Hurley <peter@hurleysoftware.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

This patch uses CONFIG_PAGE_OFFSET to filter symbols which are not in kernel address space because these symbols are generally for generating code purpose and can't be run at kernel mode, so we needn't keep them in /proc/kallsyms. For example, on ARM there are some symbols which may be linked in relocatable code section, then perf can't parse symbols any more from /proc/kallsyms, this patch fixes the problem (introduced b9b32bf7) Cc: Russell King <linux@arm.linux.org.uk> Cc: linux-arm-kernel@lists.infradead.org Cc: Michal Marek <mmarek@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Ming Lei <tom.leiming@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au> Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org

When a memcg is deleted mem_cgroup_reparent_charges() moves charged memory to the parent memcg. As of v3.11-9444-g3ea67d06 "memcg: add per cgroup writeback pages accounting" there's bad pointer read. The goal was to check for counter underflow. The counter is a per cpu counter and there are two problems with the code: (1) per cpu access function isn't used, instead a naked pointer is used which easily causes oops. (2) the check doesn't sum all cpus Test: $ cd /sys/fs/cgroup/memory $ mkdir x $ echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches $ (echo $BASHPID >> x/tasks && exec cat) & [1] 7154 $ grep ^mapped x/memory.stat mapped_file 53248 $ echo 7154 > tasks $ rmdir x <OOPS> The fix is to remove the check. It's currently dangerous and isn't worth fixing it to use something expensive, such as percpu_counter_sum(), for each reparented page. __this_cpu_read() isn't enough to fix this because there's no guarantees of the current cpus count. The only guarantees is that the sum of all per-cpu counter is >= nr_pages.

Johan has been conned^Wgracious in accepting the maintainership of the USB serial drivers, especially as he's been doing all of the real work for the past few years. At the same time, remove a bunch of old entries for USB serial drivers that don't make sense anymore, given that the developers are no longer around, and individual driver maintainerships for tiny things like this is pretty pointless.

The "struct perf_event_attr setup" entry in 'perf test' is in fact a series of tests that will exec the tools, passing different sets of command line arguments to then intercept the sys_perf_event_open syscall, in user space, to check that the perf_event_attr->sample_type and other feature request bits are setup as expected. We recently restored the callchain requesting command line argument, -g, to not require a parameter ("dwarf" or "fp"), instead using a default ("fp" for now) and making the long option variant, --call-chain, be the one to be used when a different callchain collection method is preferred. The "struct perf_event_attr setup" test failed because we forgot to update the tests involving callchains, not switching from, '-g dwarf' to '--call-chain dwarf', making 'perf test' detect it: [root@sandy ~]# perf test -v 13 13: struct perf_event_attr setup : --- start --- running '/home/acme/libexec/perf-core/tests/attr/test-record-basic' running '/home/acme/libexec/perf-core/tests/attr/test-record-branch-any' <SNIP> running '/home/acme/libexec/perf-core/tests/attr/test-record-graph-default' running '/home/acme/libexec/perf-core/tests/attr/test-record-graph-dwarf' expected sample_type=12583, got 295 expected exclude_callchain_user=1, got 0 expected sample_stack_user=8192, got 0 FAILED '/home/acme/libexec/perf-core/tests/attr/test-record-graph-dwarf' - match failure ---- end ---- struct perf_event_attr setup: FAILED! [root@sandy ~]# Fix all of them now to use --call-chain when explicitely specifying a method. There is still work to do, as '-g fp', for instance, passed without problems. In that case 'perf test' saw no problems as the intercepted syscall got the bits as expected, i.e. the default is 'fp', but the fact that 'fp' may be an existing program and the specified workload would then be passed as a parameter to it is an usability problem that needs fixing.

Unfortunately, the commit may introduce a potential bug: - Before sending some SCSI commands, kmalloc() buffer may be passed to block layper, so flush_kernel_dcache_page() can see a slab page finally - According to cachetlb.txt, flush_kernel_dcache_page() is only called on "a user page", which surely can't be a slab page. - ARCH's implementation of flush_kernel_dcache_page() may use page mapping information to do optimization so page_mapping() will see the slab page, then VM_BUG_ON() is triggered. Aaro Koskinen reported the bug on ARM/kirkwood when DEBUG_VM is enabled, and this patch fixes the bug by adding test of '!PageSlab(miter->page)' before calling flush_kernel_dcache_page().

When memcg code needs to know whether any given memcg has children, it uses the cgroup child iteration primitives and returns true/false depending on whether the iteration loop is executed at least once or not. Because a cgroup's list of children is RCU protected, these primitives require the RCU read-lock to be held, which is not the case for all memcg callers. This results in the following splat when e.g. enabling hierarchy mode: WARNING: CPU: 3 PID: 1 at kernel/cgroup.c:3043 css_next_child+0xa3/0x160() CPU: 3 PID: 1 Comm: systemd Not tainted 3.12.0-rc5-00117-g83f11a9c-dirty #18 Hardware name: LENOVO 3680B56/3680B56, BIOS 6QET69WW (1.39 ) 04/26/2012 Call Trace: dump_stack+0x54/0x74 warn_slowpath_common+0x78/0xa0 warn_slowpath_null+0x1a/0x20 css_next_child+0xa3/0x160 mem_cgroup_hierarchy_write+0x5b/0xa0 cgroup_file_write+0x108/0x2a0 vfs_write+0xbd/0x1e0 SyS_write+0x4c/0xa0 system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b In the memcg case, we only care about children when we are attempting to modify inheritable attributes interactively. Racing with deletion could mean a spurious -EBUSY, no problem. Racing with addition is handled just fine as well through the memcg_create_mutex: if the child group is not on the list after the mutex is acquired, it won't be initialized from the parent's attributes until after the unlock.

The memcg OOM lock is a mutex-type lock that is open-coded due to memcg's special needs. Add annotations for lockdep coverage.
