unaccount_pmu_sb_event() did not check for attributes in event->attr before calling detach_sb_event(), while account_pmu_event() did. This caused NULL pointer reference in cgroup events that did not have any of the attributes checked by account_pmu_event(). To trigger the bug just wait for a cgroup event to terminate, e.g.: $ mkdir /dev/cgroup/devices/test $ perf stat -e cycles -a -G test sleep 0 ... see crash ... Signed-off-by:

The offset in the core file used to be tracked with ->written field of the coredump_params structure. The field was retired in favour of file->f_pos. However, ->f_pos is not maintained for pipes which leads to breakage. Restore explicit tracking of the offset in coredump_params. Introduce ->pos field for this purpose since ->written was already reused. Fixes: a0083939 ("get rid of coredump_params->written"). Reported-by:

open("/foo/no_such_file", O_RDONLY | O_CREAT) on should fail with EACCES when /foo is not writable; failing with ENOENT is obviously wrong. That got broken by a braino introduced when moving the creat_error logics from atomic_open() to lookup_open(). Easy to fix, fortunately. Spotted-by:

Ascend-to-parent logics in d_walk() depends on all encountered child dentries not getting freed without an RCU delay. Unfortunately, in quite a few cases it is not true, with hard-to-hit oopsable race as the result. Fortunately, the fix is simiple; right now the rule is "if it ever been hashed, freeing must be delayed" and changing it to "if it ever had a parent, freeing must be delayed" closes that hole and covers all cases the old rule used to cover. Moreover, pipes and sockets remain _not_ covered, so we do not introduce RCU delay in the cases which are the reason for having that delay conditional in the first place.

MNT_LOCKED implies on a child mount implies the child is locked to the parent. So while looping through the children the children should be tested (not their parent). Typically an unshare of a mount namespace locks all mounts together making both the parent and the slave as locked but there are a few corner cases where other things work.

If a config file has wrong key-value pairs, the perf process will be forcibly terminated by die() at perf_parse_file() called by perf_config() so terminal settings can be crushed because of unusual termination. For example: If user config file has a wrong value 'red;default' instead of a normal value like 'red, default' for a key 'colors.top', # cat ~/.perfconfig [colors] medium = red;default # wrong value and if running sub-command 'top', # perf top perf process is dead by force and terminal setting is broken with a messge like below. Fatal: bad config file line 2 in /root/.perfconfig So fix it. If perf_config() can return on failure without calling die() at perf_parse_file(), this problem can be solved. And if a config file has wrong values, show the error message and then use default config values instead of wrong config values. Signed-off-by:

Add basic plumbing for TopDown in perf stat TopDown is intended to replace the frontend cycles idle/ backend cycles idle metrics in standard perf stat output. These metrics are not reliable in many workloads, due to out of order effects. This implements a new --topdown mode in perf stat (similar to --transaction) that measures the pipe line bottlenecks using standardized formulas. The measurement can be all done with 5 counters (one fixed counter) The result are four metrics: FrontendBound, BackendBound, BadSpeculation, Retiring that describe the CPU pipeline behavior on a high level. The full top down methology has many hierarchical metrics. This implementation only supports level 1 which can be collected without multiplexing. A full implementation of top down on top of perf is available in pmu-tools toplev. (http://github.com/andikleen/pmu-tools) The current version works on Intel Core CPUs starting with Sandy Bridge, and Atom CPUs starting with Silvermont. In principle the generic metrics should be also implementable on other out of order CPUs. TopDown level 1 uses a set of abstracted metrics which are generic to out of order CPU cores (although some CPUs may not implement all of them): topdown-total-slots Available slots in the pipeline topdown-slots-issued Slots issued into the pipeline topdown-slots-retired Slots successfully retired topdown-fetch-bubbles Pipeline gaps in the frontend topdown-recovery-bubbles Pipeline gaps during recovery from misspeculation These metrics then allow to compute four useful metrics: FrontendBound, BackendBound, Retiring, BadSpeculation. Add a new --topdown options to enable events. When --topdown is specified set up events for all topdown events supported by the kernel. Add topdown-* as a special case to the event parser, as is needed for all events containing -. The actual code to compute the metrics is in follow-on patches. v2: Use standard sysctl read function. v3: Move x86 specific code to arch/ v4: Enable --metric-only implicitly for topdown. v5: Add --single-thread option to not force per core mode v6: Fix output order of topdown metrics v7: Allow combining with -d v8: Remove --single-thread again v9: Rename functions, adding arch_ and topdown_. v10: Expand man page and describe TopDown better Paste intro into commit description.

The /dev/ptmx device node is changed to lookup the directory entry "pts" in the same directory as the /dev/ptmx device node was opened in. If there is a "pts" entry and that entry is a devpts filesystem /dev/ptmx uses that filesystem. Otherwise the open of /dev/ptmx fails. The DEVPTS_MULTIPLE_INSTANCES configuration option is removed, so that userspace can now safely depend on each mount of devpts creating a new instance of the filesystem. Each mount of devpts is now a separate and equal filesystem. Reserved ttys are now available to all instances of devpts where the mounter is in the initial mount namespace. A new vfs helper path_pts is introduced that finds a directory entry named "pts" in the directory of the passed in path, and changes the passed in path to point to it. The helper path_pts uses a function path_parent_directory that was factored out of follow_dotdot. In the implementation of devpts: - devpts_mnt is killed as it is no longer meaningful if all mounts of devpts are equal. - pts_sb_from_inode is replaced by just inode->i_sb as all cached inodes in the tty layer are now from the devpts filesystem. - devpts_add_ref is rolled into the new function devpts_ptmx. And the unnecessary inode hold is removed. - devpts_del_ref is renamed devpts_release and reduced to just a deacrivate_super. - The newinstance mount option continues to be accepted but is now ignored. In devpts_fs.h definitions for when !CONFIG_UNIX98_PTYS are removed as they are never used. Documentation/filesystems/devices.txt is updated to describe the current situation. This has been verified to work properly on openwrt-15.05, centos5, centos6, centos7, debian-6.0.2, debian-7.9, debian-8.2, ubuntu-14.04.3, ubuntu-15.10, fedora23, magia-5, mint-17.3, opensuse-42.1, slackware-14.1, gentoo-20151225 (13.0?), archlinux-2015-12-01. With the caveat that on centos6 and on slackware-14.1 that there wind up being two instances of the devpts filesystem mounted on /dev/pts, the lower copy does not end up getting used. Signed-off-by:

Syscalls should never crash programs, but instead return EFAULT. The IIR register contains the executed instruction, which disassebles into "ldw 0(sr3,r5),r9". This load-word instruction is part of __get_user() which tried to read the word at %r5/IOR (0xfa6f7fff). This means the unaligned handler jumped in. The unaligned handler is able to emulate all ldw instructions, but it fails if it fails to read the source e.g. because of page fault. The following program reproduces the problem: #define _GNU_SOURCE #include <unistd.h> #include <sys/syscall.h> #include <sys/mman.h> int main(void) { /* allocate 8k */ char *ptr = mmap(NULL, 2*4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0); /* free second half (upper 4k) and make it invalid. */ munmap(ptr+4096, 4096); /* syscall where first int is unaligned and clobbers into invalid memory region */ /* syscall should return EFAULT */ return syscall(__NR_clock_adjtime, 0, ptr+4095); } To fix this issue we simply need to check if the faulting instruction address is in the exception fixup table when the unaligned handler failed. If it is, call the fixup routine instead of crashing. While looking at the unaligned handler I found another issue as well: The target register should not be modified if the handler was unsuccessful.

It's an analogue of commit 7500c38a (fix the braino in "namei: massage lookup_slow() to be usable by lookup_one_len_unlocked()"). The same problem (->lookup()-returned unhashed negative dentry just might be an autofs one with ->d_manage() that would wait until the daemon makes it positive) applies in do_last() - we need to do follow_managed() first. Fortunately, remaining callers of follow_managed() are OK - only autofs has that weirdness (negative dentry that does not mean an instant -ENOENT)) and autofs never has its negative dentries hashed, so we can't pick one from a dcache lookup. ->d_manage() is a bloody mess ;-/ Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # v4.6 Spotted-by:

This patch fixes backtrace on PA-RISC There were several problems: 1) The code that decodes instructions handles instructions that subtract from the stack pointer incorrectly. If the instruction subtracts the number X from the stack pointer the code increases the frame size by (0x100000000-X). This results in invalid accesses to memory and recursive page faults. 2) Because gcc reorders blocks, handling instructions that subtract from the frame pointer is incorrect. For example, this function int f(int a) { if (__builtin_expect(a, 1)) return a; g(); return a; } is compiled in such a way, that the code that decreases the stack pointer for the first "return a" is placed before the code for "g" call. If we recognize this decrement, we mistakenly believe that the frame size for the "g" call is zero. To fix problems 1) and 2), the patch doesn't recognize instructions that decrease the stack pointer at all. To further safeguard the unwind code against nonsense values, we don't allow frame size larger than Total_frame_size. 3) The backtrace is not locked. If stack dump races with module unload, invalid table can be accessed. This patch adds a spinlock when processing module tables. Note, that for correct backtrace, you need recent binutils. Binutils 2.18 from Debian 5 produce garbage unwind tables. Binutils 2.21 work better (it sometimes forgets function frames, but at least it doesn't generate garbage). Signed-off-by:

EOPENSTALE occuring at the last component of a trailing symlink ends up with do_last() retrying its lookup. After the symlink body has been discarded. The thing is, all this retry_lookup logics in there is not needed at all - the upper layers will do the right thing if we simply return that -EOPENSTALE as we would with any other error. Trying to microoptimize in do_last() is a lot of headache for no good reason. Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # v4.2+ Tested-by:

The optimistic fast path may use cpuset_current_mems_allowed instead of of a NULL nodemask supplied by the caller for cpuset allocations. The preferred zone is calculated on this basis for statistic purposes and as a starting point in the zonelist iterator. However, if the context can ignore memory policies due to being atomic or being able to ignore watermarks then the starting point in the zonelist iterator is no longer correct. This patch resets the zonelist iterator in the allocator slowpath if the context can ignore memory policies. This will alter the zone used for statistics but only after it is known that it makes sense for that context. Resetting it before entering the slowpath would potentially allow an ALLOC_CPUSET allocation to be accounted for against the wrong zone. Note that while nodemask is not explicitly set to the original nodemask, it would only have been overwritten if cpuset_enabled() and it was reset before the slowpath was entered.
