      perf record: Fix branch_stack type in perf_record_opts · a00dc319
      Stephane Eranian authored
      The attr.branch_sample_type field is defined as u64 by the API.  As
      such, we need to ensure the variable holding the value of the branch
      stack filters is also u64 otherwise we may lose bits in the future.
      
      Note also that the bogus definition of the field in perf_record_opts
      caused problems on big-endian PPC systems.  Thanks to Anshuman Khandual
      for tracking the problem on PPC.

      perf tools: Reconstruct event with modifiers from perf_event_attr · c410431c
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored
      The modifiers:
      
        k		kernel space
        u		user space
        h		hypervisor
        G		guest
        H		host
        p, pp, ppp    precision level (PEBS)
      
      that can be suffixed to an event were lost when tools used event_name()
      to reconstruct them from the perf_event_attr entries in a perf.data
      file.
      
      Fix it by following the defaults used for these modifiers in the current
      codebase, so:
      
       $ perf record -e instructions:u usleep 1 2> /dev/null
       $ perf evlist
       instructions:u
       $ perf record -e cycles:k usleep 1 2> /dev/null
       $ perf evlist
       cycles:k
       $ perf record -e cycles:kh usleep 1 2> /dev/null
       $ perf evlist
       cycles:kh
       $ perf record -e cache-misses:G usleep 1 2> /dev/null
       $ perf evlist
       cache-misses:G
       $ perf record -e cycles:ppk usleep 1 2> /dev/null
       $ perf evlist
       cycles:kpp
       $
      
      Also works with 'top', 'report', etc.
      
      More work needed to cover tracepoints and software events while not
      dragging lots of baggage to the python binding, this is a minimal fix
      for v3.5.

      perf top: Fix counter name fixup when fallbacking to cpu-clock · 895d9766
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored
      In 40491eaa "perf top: Update event name when falling back to cpu-clock"
      we freed counter->name but didn't reset it to NULL, then when setting it
      to the result of event_name(), event_name() would use the cached value,
      which by now was overwritten and thus we got garbage or a zero lenght
      string.
      
      Fix it by just freeing and setting counter->name to NULL, this way
      event_name() when called afterwards, will find the right counter name
      and cache it again.
      
      Found while trying 'cycles:pp' on a machine were :pp couldn't be
      honoured. Probably the best fallback here is to tell the user that that
      level of precision is not available on the PMU and then go removing 'p',
      levels of precision till we get to play 'cycles' and if even that fails,
      _then_ get to 'cpu-clock'.
      
      But that is the matter for another patch, this one just needs to fix the
      caching issue, which in the end will show 'cpu-clock' when tools ask for
      the event name being used, which clarifies things for the user, that
      will see that 'cycles:pp' or whatever not support event is not being
      used, some sort of fallback happened.

      tools lib traceevent: Allow expressions in __print_symbolic() fields · 00b9da72
      Stefan Hajnoczi authored
      The __print_symbolic() function takes a sequence of key-value pairs for
      pretty-printing a constant.  The new kvm:kvm_exit print fmt uses the
      expression:
      
        __print_symbolic(..., { 0x040 + 1, "DB excp" }, ...)
      
      Currently only atoms are supported and this print fmt fails to parse.
      This patch adds support for expressions instead of just atoms so that
      0x040 + 1 is parsed successfully.

      This implied a reference counting bug and the problem happened during
      mbind().
      
      mbind() applies a new memory policy to a range and uses mbind_range() to
      merge existing VMAs or split them as necessary.  In the event of splits,
      mpol_dup() will allocate a new struct mempolicy and maintain existing
      reference counts whose rules are documented in
      Documentation/vm/numa_memory_policy.txt .
      
      The problem occurs with shared memory policies.  The vm_op->set_policy
      increments the reference count if necessary and split_vma() and
      vma_merge() have already handled the existing reference counts.
      However, policy_vma() screws it up by replacing an existing
      vma->vm_policy with one that potentially has the wrong reference count
      leading to a premature free.  This patch removes the damage caused by
      policy_vma().
      
      With this patch applied Dave's trinity tool runs an mbind test for 5
      minutes without error.  /proc/slabinfo reported that there are no
      numa_policy or shared_policy_node objects allocated after the test
      completed and the shared memory region was deleted.

      It was a global variable, so it was initialized, implicitely, to zero by
      being placed in the bss.
      
      Now it is just a local variable that is then passed to the __cmd_evlist
      routine, so it must be explicitely set to NULL.
      
      The problem manifested on a Fedora 17 system, using:
      
       gcc version 4.7.0 20120507 (Red Hat 4.7.0-5) (GCC)

      Pull user namespace enhancements from Eric Biederman:
       "This is a course correction for the user namespace, so that we can
        reach an inexpensive, maintainable, and reasonably complete
        implementation.
      
        Highlights:
         - Config guards make it impossible to enable the user namespace and
           code that has not been converted to be user namespace safe.
      
         - Use of the new kuid_t type ensures the if you somehow get past the
           config guards the kernel will encounter type errors if you enable
           user namespaces and attempt to compile in code whose permission
           checks have not been updated to be user namespace safe.
      
         - All uids from child user namespaces are mapped into the initial
           user namespace before they are processed.  Removing the need to add
           an additional check to see if the user namespace of the compared
           uids remains the same.
      
         - With the user namespaces compiled out the performance is as good or
           better than it is today.
      
         - For most operations absolutely nothing changes performance or
           operationally with the user namespace enabled.
      
         - The worst case performance I could come up with was timing 1
           billion cache cold stat operations with the user namespace code
           enabled.  This went from 156s to 164s on my laptop (or 156ns to
           164ns per stat operation).
      
         - (uid_t)-1 and (gid_t)-1 are reserved as an internal error value.
           Most uid/gid setting system calls treat these value specially
           anyway so attempting to use -1 as a uid would likely cause
           entertaining failures in userspace.
      
         - If setuid is called with a uid that can not be mapped setuid fails.
           I have looked at sendmail, login, ssh and every other program I
           could think of that would call setuid and they all check for and
           handle the case where setuid fails.
      
         - If stat or a similar system call is called from a context in which
           we can not map a uid we lie and return overflowuid.  The LFS
           experience suggests not lying and returning an error code might be
           better, but the historical precedent with uids is different and I
           can not think of anything that would break by lying about a uid we
           can't map.
      
         - Capabilities are localized to the current user namespace making it
           safe to give the initial user in a user namespace all capabilities.
      
        My git tree covers all of the modifications needed to convert the core
        kernel and enough changes to make a system bootable to runlevel 1."

      Linus Torvalds authored
      Pull the MCA deletion branch from Paul Gortmaker:
       "It was good that we could support MCA machines back in the day, but
        realistically, nobody is using them anymore.  They were mostly limited
        to 386-sx 16MHz CPU and some 486 class machines and never more than
        64MB of RAM.  Even the enthusiast hobbyist community seems to have
        dried up close to ten years ago, based on what you can find searching
        various websites dedicated to the relatively short lived hardware.
      
        So lets remove the support relating to CONFIG_MCA.  There is no point
        carrying this forward, wasting cycles doing routine maintenance on it;
        wasting allyesconfig build time on validating it, wasting I/O on git
        grep'ping over it, and so on."
      
      Let's see if anybody screams.  It generally has compiled, and James
      Bottomley pointed out that there was a MCA extension from NCR that
      allowed for up to 4GB of memory and PPro-class machines.  So in *theory*
      there may be users out there.
      
      But even James (technically listed as a maintainer) doesn't actually
      have a system, and while Alan Cox claims to have a machine in his cellar
      that he offered to anybody who wants to take it off his hands, he didn't
      argue for keeping MCA support either.
      
      So we could bring it back.  But somebody had better speak up and talk
      about how they have actually been using said MCA hardware with modern
      kernels for us to do that.  And David already took the patch to delete
      all the networking driver code (commit a5e371f6: "drivers/net:
      delete all code/drivers depending on CONFIG_MCA").

      Merge tag 'sound-3.5' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tiwai/sound · 2e341ca6
      Linus Torvalds authored
      Pull sound updates from Takashi Iwai:
       "This is the first big chunk for 3.5 merges of sound stuff.
      
        There are a few big changes in different areas.  First off, the
        streaming logic of USB-audio endpoints has been largely rewritten for
        the better support of "implicit feedback".  If anything about USB got
        broken, this change has to be checked.
      
        For HD-audio, the resume procedure was changed; instead of delaying
        the resume of the hardware until the first use, now waking up
        immediately at resume.  This is for buggy BIOS.
      
        For ASoC, dynamic PCM support and the improved support for digital
        links between off-SoC devices are major framework changes.
      
        Some highlights are below:
      
        * HD-audio
         - Avoid accesses of invalid pin-control bits that may stall the codec
         - V-ref setup cleanups
         - Fix the races in power-saving code
         - Fix the races in codec cache hashes and connection lists
         - Split some common codes for BIOS auto-parser to hda_auto_parser.c
         - Changed the PM resume code to wake up immediately for buggy BIOS
         - Creative SoundCore3D support
         - Add Conexant CX20751/2/3/4 codec support
      
        * ASoC
         - Dynamic PCM support, allowing support for SoCs with internal
           routing through components with tight sequencing and formatting
           constraints within their internal paths or where there are multiple
           components connected with CPU managed DMA controllers inside the
           SoC.
         - Greatly improved support for direct digital links between off-SoC
           devices, providing a much simpler way of connecting things like
           digital basebands to CODECs.
         - Much more fine grained and robust locking, cleaning up some of the
           confusion that crept in with multi-component.
         - CPU support for nVidia Tegra 30 I2S and audio hub controllers and
           ST-Ericsson MSP I2S controolers
         - New CODEC drivers for Cirrus CS42L52, LAPIS Semiconductor ML26124,
           Texas Instruments LM49453.
         - Some regmap changes needed by the Tegra I2S driver.
         - mc13783 audio support.
      
        * Misc
         - Rewrite with module_pci_driver()
         - Xonar DGX support for snd-oxygen
         - Improvement of packet handling in snd-firewire driver
         - New USB-endpoint streaming logic
         - Enhanced M-audio FTU quirks and relevant cleanups
         - Increment the support of OSS devices to 256
         - snd-aloop accuracy improvement
      
        There are a few more pending changes for 3.5, but they will be sent
        slightly later as partly depending on the changes of DRM."
      
      Fix up conflicts in regmap (due to duplicate patches, with some further
      updates then having already come in from the regmap tree).  Also some
      fairly trivial context conflicts in the imx and mcx soc drivers.

      ring-buffer: Check for valid buffer before changing size · 6a31e1f1
      Steven Rostedt authored
      On some machines the number of possible CPUS is not the same as the
      number of CPUs that is on the machine. Ftrace uses possible_cpus to
      update the tracing structures but the ring buffer only allocates
      per cpu buffers for online CPUs when they come up.
      
      When the wakeup tracer was enabled in such a case, the ftrace code
      enabled all possible cpu buffers, but the code in ring_buffer_resize()
      did not check to see if the buffer in question was allocated. Since
      boot up CPUs did not match possible CPUs it caused the following
      crash:

      This happens with the latency tracer as the ftrace code updates the
      saved max buffer via its cpumask and not with a global setting.
      
      Adding a check in ring_buffer_resize() to make sure the buffer being resized
      exists, fixes the problem.
