      perf trace: Add seccomp beautifier related defines for older systems · 6fb35b95

      Were the detached tarball (make perf-tar-src-pkg) build was failing because
those definitions aren't available in the system headers.

On RHEL7, for instance:

      perf trace: Print unresolved symbol names as addresses · 00768a2b
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored 
      Instead of having "[unknown]" as the name used for unresolved symbols,
use the address in the callchain, in hexadecimal form:

      perf evsel: Allow unresolved symbol names to be printed as addresses · fd4be130
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored 
      The fprintf_sym() and fprintf_callchain() methods now allow users to
change the existing behaviour of showing "[unknown]" as the name of
unresolved symbols to instead show "[0x123456]", i.e. its address.

The current patch doesn't change tools to use this facility, the results
from 'perf trace' and 'perf script' cotinue like:

70.109 ( 0.001 ms): qemu-system-x8/10153 poll(ufds: 0x7f2d93ffe870, nfds: 1) = 0 Timeout
                                   [unknown] (/usr/lib64/libc-2.22.so)
                                   [unknown] (/usr/lib64/libspice-server.so.1.10.0)
                                   [unknown] (/usr/lib64/libspice-server.so.1.10.0)
                                   [unknown] (/usr/lib64/libspice-server.so.1.10.0)
                                   start_thread+0xca (/usr/lib64/libpthread-2.22.so)
                                   __clone+0x6d (/usr/lib64/libc-2.22.so)

The next patch will make 'perf trace' use the new formatting.

      We don't need the callchains at the syscall enter tracepoint, just when
finishing it at syscall exit, so reduce the overhead by asking for
callchains just at syscall exit.

      perf evsel: Rename config_callgraph() to config_callchain() and make it public · 01e0d50c
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored 
      The rename is for consistency with the parameter name.

Make it public for fine grained control of which evsels should have
callchains enabled, like, for instance, will be done in the next
changesets in 'perf trace', to enable callchains just on the
"raw_syscalls:sys_exit" tracepoint.

      perf trace: Exclude the kernel part of the callchain leading to a syscall · 44621819

      The kernel parts are not that useful:

                                       return_from_SYSCALL_64 ([kernel.kallsyms])

      perf trace: Add support for printing call chains on sys_exit events. · 566a0885
      Milian Wolff authored 
      Now, one can print the call chain for every encountered sys_exit event,
e.g.:

    $ perf trace -e nanosleep --call-graph dwarf path/to/ex_sleep
    1005.757 (1000.090 ms): ex_sleep/13167 nanosleep(...) = 0
                                             syscall_slow_exit_work ([kernel.kallsyms])
                                             syscall_return_slowpath ([kernel.kallsyms])
                                             int_ret_from_sys_call ([kernel.kallsyms])
                                             __nanosleep (/usr/lib/libc-2.23.so)
                                             [unknown] (/usr/lib/libQt5Core.so.5.6.0)
                                             QThread::sleep (/usr/lib/libQt5Core.so.5.6.0)
                                             main (path/to/ex_sleep)
                                             __libc_start_main (/usr/lib/libc-2.23.so)
                                             _start (path/to/ex_sleep)

Note that it is advised to increase the number of mmap pages to prevent
event losses when using this new feature. Often, adding `-m 10M` to the
`perf trace` invocation is enough.

This feature is also available in strace when built with libunwind via
`strace -k`. Performance wise, this solution is much better:

    $ time find path/to/linux &> /dev/null

    real    0m0.051s
    user    0m0.013s
    sys     0m0.037s

    $ time perf trace -m 800M --call-graph dwarf find path/to/linux &> /dev/null

    real    0m2.624s
    user    0m1.203s
    sys     0m1.333s

    $ time strace -k find path/to/linux  &> /dev/null

    real    0m35.398s
    user    0m10.403s
    sys     0m23.173s

Note that it is currently not possible to configure the print output.
Adding such a feature, similar to what is available in `perf script` via
its `--fields` knob can be added later on.

      Wang Nan authored 
      This patch removes the need to set a bpf-output event in cmdline.  By
referencing a map named '__bpf_stdout__', perf automatically creates an
event for it.

For example:

  # perf record -e ./test_bpf_trace.c usleep 100000
  [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]

                   0010: 74 21 00 00              t!..
       BPF string: "Raise a BPF event!"

           usleep  4639 [000] 261895.407883:        0            __bpf_stdout__:  ffffffff8105d609 ...
       BPF output: 0000: 52 61 69 73 65 20 61 20  Raise a
                   0008: 42 50 46 20 65 76 65 6e  BPF even

       BPF string: "Raise a BPF event!"

  perf record -e ./test_bpf_trace.c usleep 100000

  equals to:

  perf record -e bpf-output/no-inherit=1,name=__bpf_stdout__/ \
              -e ./test_bpf_trace.c/map:__bpf_stdout__.event=__bpf_stdout__/ \

      perf bpf: Clone bpf stdout events in multiple bpf scripts · d7888573
      Wang Nan authored 
      This patch allows cloning bpf-output event configuration among multiple
bpf scripts. If there exist a map named '__bpf_output__' and not
configured using 'map:__bpf_output__.event=', this patch clones the
configuration of another '__bpf_stdout__' map. For example, following
command:

  # perf trace --ev bpf-output/no-inherit,name=evt/ \
               --ev ./test_bpf_trace.c/map:__bpf_stdout__.event=evt/ \
               --ev ./test_bpf_trace2.c usleep 100000

equals to:

  # perf trace --ev bpf-output/no-inherit,name=evt/ \
               --ev ./test_bpf_trace.c/map:__bpf_stdout__.event=evt/  \
               --ev ./test_bpf_trace2.c/map:__bpf_stdout__.event=evt/ \
               usleep 100000

      Revert "ext4: allow readdir()'s of large empty directories to be interrupted" · 9f2394c9
      Linus Torvalds authored 
      This reverts commit 1028b55b.

It's broken: it makes ext4 return an error at an invalid point, causing
the readdir wrappers to write the the position of the last successful
directory entry into the position field, which means that the next
readdir will now return that last successful entry _again_.

You can only return fatal errors (that terminate the readdir directory
walk) from within the filesystem readdir functions, the "normal" errors
(that happen when the readdir buffer fills up, for example) happen in
the iterorator where we know the position of the actual failing entry.

I do have a very different patch that does the "signal_pending()"
handling inside the iterator function where it is allowable, but while
that one passes all the sanity checks, I screwed up something like four
times while emailing it out, so I'm not going to commit it today.

So my track record is not good enough, and the stars will have to align
better before that one gets committed.  And it would be good to get some
review too, of course, since celestial alignments are always an iffy
debugging model.

IOW, let's just revert the commit that caused the problem for now.

 "Since commit 0de79858 ("parisc: Use generic extable search and
  sort routines") module loading is boken on parisc, because the parisc
  module loader wasn't prepared for the new R_PARISC_PCREL32 relocations.

  In addition, due to that breakage, Mikulas Patocka noticed that
  handling exceptions from modules probably never worked on parisc.  It
  was just masked by the fact that exceptions from modules don't happen
  during normal use.

  This patch series fixes those issues and survives the tests of the
  lib/test_user_copy kernel module test.  Some patches are tagged for
  stable"

      Linus Torvalds authored 
      Pull libnvdimm fixes from Dan Williams:
 "Three fixes, the first two are tagged for -stable:

   - The ndctl utility/library gained expanded unit tests illuminating a
     long standing bug in the libnvdimm SMART data retrieval
     implementation.

     It has been broken since its initial implementation, now fixed.

   - Another one line fix for the detection of stale info blocks.

     Without this change userspace can get into a situation where it is
     unable to reconfigure a namespace.

   - Fix the badblock initialization path in the presence of the new (in
     v4.6-rc1) section alignment workarounds.

     Without this change badblocks will be reported at the wrong offset.

  These have received a build success report from the kbuild robot and
  have appeared in -next with no reported issues"
