      perf symbols: Remove incorrect open-coded container_of() · 02a9d037
      Rabin Vincent authored
      At least on ARM, padding is inserted between rb_node and sym in struct
      symbol_name_rb_node, causing "((void *)sym) - sizeof(struct rb_node)" to
      point inside rb_node rather than to the symbol_name_rb_node.  Fix this
      by converting the code to use container_of().

      perf record: Handle restrictive permissions in /proc/{kallsyms,modules} · c1a3a4b9
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored
      The 59365d13 commit, even being reverted by 33e0d57f, showed a non robust
      behavior in 'perf record': it really should just warn the user that some
      functionality will not be available.
      
      The new behavior then becomes:
      
      	[acme@felicio linux]$ ls -la /proc/{kallsyms,modules}
      	-r-------- 1 root root 0 Nov 22 12:19 /proc/kallsyms
      	-r-------- 1 root root 0 Nov 22 12:19 /proc/modules
      	[acme@felicio linux]$ perf record ls -R > /dev/null
      	Couldn't record kernel reference relocation symbol
      	Symbol resolution may be skewed if relocation was used (e.g. kexec).
      	Check /proc/kallsyms permission or run as root.

      It still has the build-ids for DSOs in the maps with hits:

      [acme@felicio linux]$
      
      That can be used in another machine to resolve kernel symbols.

      perf stat: Change and clean up sys_perf_event_open error handling · d9cf837e
      Corey Ashford authored
      This patch makes several changes to "perf stat":
      
      - "perf stat" will no longer go ahead and run the application when one or
      more of the specified events could not be opened.
      - Use error() and die() instead of pr_err() so that the output is more
      consistent with "perf top" and "perf record".
      - Handle permission errors in a more robust way, and in a similar way to
      "perf record" and "perf top".
      
      In addition, the sys_perf_event_open() error handling of "perf top" and "perf
      record" is made more consistent and adds the following phrase when an event
      doesn't open (with something ther than an access or permission error):
      
      "/bin/dmesg may provide additional information."
      
      This is added because kernel code doesn't have a good way of expressing
      detailed errors to user space, so its only avenue is to use printk's.  However,
      many users may not think of looking at dmesg to find out why an event is being
      rejected.

      ext4: Add EXT4_IOC_TRIM ioctl to handle batched discard · e681c047
      Lukas Czerner authored
      Filesystem independent ioctl was rejected as not common enough to be in
      core vfs ioctl. Since we still need to access to this functionality this
      commit adds ext4 specific ioctl EXT4_IOC_TRIM to dispatch
      ext4_trim_fs().
      
      It takes fstrim_range structure as an argument. fstrim_range is definec in
      the include/linux/fs.h and its definition is as follows.
      
      struct fstrim_range {
      	__u64 start;
      	__u64 len;
      	__u64 minlen;
      }
      
      start	- first Byte to trim
      len	- number of Bytes to trim from start
      minlen	- minimum extent length to trim, free extents shorter than this
        number of Bytes will be ignored. This will be rounded up to fs
        block size.
      
      After the FITRIM is done, the number of actually discarded Bytes is stored
      in fstrim_range.len to give the user better insight on how much storage
      space has been really released for wear-leveling.

      fs: Do not dispatch FITRIM through separate super_operation · 93bb41f4
      Lukas Czerner authored
      There was concern that FITRIM ioctl is not common enough to be included
      in core vfs ioctl, as Christoph Hellwig pointed out there's no real point
      in dispatching this out to a separate vector instead of just through
      ->ioctl.
      
      So this commit removes ioctl_fstrim() from vfs ioctl and trim_fs
      from super_operation structure.

      Revert "kernel: make /proc/kallsyms mode 400 to reduce ease of attacking" · 33e0d57f
      Linus Torvalds authored
      This reverts commit 59365d13.
      
      It turns out that this can break certain existing user land setups.
      Quoth Sarah Sharp:
      
       "On Wednesday, I updated my branch to commit 460781b5 from linus' tree,
        and my box would not boot.  klogd segfaulted, which stalled the whole
        system.
      
        At first I thought it actually hung the box, but it continued booting
        after 5 minutes, and I was able to log in.  It dropped back to the
        text console instead of the graphical bootup display for that period
        of time.  dmesg surprisingly still works.  I've bisected the problem
        down to this commit (commit 59365d13)
      
        The box is running klogd 1.5.5ubuntu3 (from Jaunty).  Yes, I know
        that's old.  I read the bit in the commit about changing the
        permissions of kallsyms after boot, but if I can't boot that doesn't
        help."
      
      So let's just keep the old default, and encourage distributions to do
      the "chmod -r /proc/kallsyms" in their bootup scripts.  This is not
      worth a kernel option to change default behavior, since it's so easily
      done in user space.

      perf tools: Remove hardcoded include paths for elfutils · a7112397
      Robert Morell authored
      This change removes the use of hardcoded absolute "/usr/include/elfutils" paths
      from the perf build.  The problem with hardcoded paths is that it prevents them
      from being overridden by $prefix or by -I in CFLAGS (e.g., for cross-compiling
      purposes).
      
      Instead, just include the "elfutils/" subdirectory as a relative path when
      files are needed from that directory.
      
      Tested by building perf:
      - Cross-compiled for ARM on x86_64
      - Built natively on x86_64
      - Built on x86_64 with /usr/include/elfutils moved to another location
        and manually included in CFLAGS
