      perf tools: Fix bug in raw sample parsing · fa30c964
      Stephane Eranian authored
      In perf_event__parse_sample(), the array variable was not incremented
      by the amount of data used by the raw_data.
      
      That was okay until we added PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_STACK which depends on
      the array variable pointing to the beginning of the branch stack data.
      
      But that was not the case if branch stack was combined with raw mode
      sampling. That led to bogus branch stack addresses and count.
      
      The bug would show up with:
      $ perf record -R -b foo
      
      This patch fixes the problem by correctly moving the array pointer
      forward for RAW samples.

      perf tools: Fix display of first level of callchains · 6d4818c5
      Frederic Weisbecker authored
      The callchain stdio mode display was written using a sorted by symbol
      report. In this mode we have only one callchain root per hist so we
      forgot to handle cases where we have multiple callchain root, as in per
      dso sorting for example.
      
      Fix this by handling these roots like any other branch, with the hist as
      the parent.

      We should only test compaction_suitable if the kernel is built with
      CONFIG_COMPACTION, otherwise the stub compaction_suitable function will
      always return COMPACT_SKIPPED and send kswapd into an infinite loop.

       "The changes shown here are to unify linux's BUG support under the one
        <linux/bug.h> file.  Due to historical reasons, we have some BUG code
        in bug.h and some in kernel.h -- i.e.  the support for BUILD_BUG in
        linux/kernel.h predates the addition of linux/bug.h, but old code in
        kernel.h wasn't moved to bug.h at that time.  As a band-aid, kernel.h
        was including <asm/bug.h> to pseudo link them.
      
        This has caused confusion[1] and general yuck/WTF[2] reactions.  Here
        is an example that violates the principle of least surprise:
      
            CC      lib/string.o

        We've included <linux/bug.h> for the BUG infrastructure and yet we
        still get a compile fail! [We've not kernel.h for BUILD_BUG_ON.] Ugh -
        very confusing for someone who is new to kernel development.
      
        With the above in mind, the goals of this changeset are:
      
        1) find and fix any include/*.h files that were relying on the
           implicit presence of BUG code.
        2) find and fix any C files that were consuming kernel.h and hence
           relying on implicitly getting some/all BUG code.
        3) Move the BUG related code living in kernel.h to <linux/bug.h>
        4) remove the asm/bug.h from kernel.h to finally break the chain.
      
        During development, the order was more like 3-4, build-test, 1-2.  But
        to ensure that git history for bisect doesn't get needless build
        failures introduced, the commits have been reorderd to fix the problem
        areas in advance.

       - Rewrite of sysctl for speed and clarity.
      
         Insert/remove/Lookup in sysctl are all now O(NlogN) operations, and
         are no longer bottlenecks in the process of adding and removing
         network devices.
      
         sysctl is now focused on being a filesystem instead of system call
         and the code can all be found in fs/proc/proc_sysctl.c.  Hopefully
         this means the code is now approachable.
      
         Much thanks is owed to Lucian Grinjincu for keeping at this until
         something was found that was usable.
      
       - The recent proc_sys_poll oops found by the fuzzer during hibernation

        * A fix to the timer code whereby the shortest trigger period is set

          but by the time the register was written, that time had already
          passed and the timer interrupt would not go off until the cycle
          counter had gone a full cycle.
      
        * Allowing a device tree binary to be passed in to the kernel from
          u-boot.  The OpenRISC architecture has been recently merged into

      It is undocumented but a seq_file's overflow state is indicated by

      proc-ns: use d_set_d_op() API to set dentry ops in proc_ns_instantiate(). · 1b26c9b3
      Pravin B Shelar authored
      The namespace cleanup path leaks a dentry which holds a reference count
      on a network namespace.  Keeping that network namespace from being freed
      when the last user goes away.  Leaving things like vlan devices in the
      leaked network namespace.
      
      If you use ip netns add for much real work this problem becomes apparent
      pretty quickly.  It light testing the problem hides because frequently
      you simply don't notice the leak.
      
      Use d_set_d_op() so that DCACHE_OP_* flags are set correctly.
      
      This issue exists back to 3.0.

      Process accounting applications as top, ps visit some files under
      /proc/<pid>.  With seq_put_decimal_ull(), we can optimize /proc/<pid>/stat
      and /proc/<pid>/statm files.
      
      This patch adds
        - seq_put_decimal_ll() for signed values.
        - allow delimiter == 0.
        - convert seq_printf() to seq_put_decimal_ull/ll in /proc/stat, statm.
      
      Test result on a system with 2000+ procs.

        user    0m0.050s
        sys     0m0.145s
      
      Considering top, ps tend to scan /proc periodically, this will reduce cpu
      consumption by top/ps to some extent.

      proc: speed up /proc/stat handling · 59a32e2c
      Eric Dumazet authored
      On a typical 16 cpus machine, "cat /proc/stat" gives more than 4096 bytes,
      and is slow :
      
        # strace -T -o /tmp/STRACE cat /proc/stat | wc -c
        5826
        # grep "cpu " /tmp/STRACE
        read(0, "cpu  1949310 19 2144714 12117253"..., 32768) = 5826 <0.001504>
      
      Thats partly because show_stat() must be called twice since initial
      buffer size is too small (4096 bytes for less than 32 possible cpus)
      
      Fix this by :
      
       1) Taking into account nr_irqs in the initial buffer sizing.
      
       2) Using ksize() to allow better filling of initial buffer.
