      RAS/tracing: Use trace_seq_buffer_ptr() helper instead of open coded · dbcf3e06
      Steven Rostedt (Red Hat) authored 
      Use the helper function trace_seq_buffer_ptr() to get the current location
of the next buffer write of a trace_seq object, instead of open coding
it.

This facilitates the conversion of trace_seq to use seq_buf.

      Steven Rostedt (Red Hat) authored 
      To allow for the restructiong of the trace_seq code, we need users
of it to use the helper functions instead of accessing the internals
of the trace_seq structure itself.

      ftrace/x86/extable: Add is_ftrace_trampoline() function · aec0be2d
      Steven Rostedt (Red Hat) authored 
      Stack traces that happen from function tracing check if the address
on the stack is a __kernel_text_address(). That is, is the address
kernel code. This calls core_kernel_text() which returns true
if the address is part of the builtin kernel code. It also calls
is_module_text_address() which returns true if the address belongs
to module code.

But what is missing is ftrace dynamically allocated trampolines.
These trampolines are allocated for individual ftrace_ops that
call the ftrace_ops callback functions directly. But if they do a
stack trace, the code checking the stack wont detect them as they
are neither core kernel code nor module address space.

Adding another field to ftrace_ops that also stores the size of
the trampoline assigned to it we can create a new function called
is_ftrace_trampoline() that returns true if the address is a
dynamically allocate ftrace trampoline. Note, it ignores trampolines
that are not dynamically allocated as they will return true with
the core_kernel_text() function.

      ftrace/x86: Add frames pointers to trampoline as necessary · 9960efeb
      Steven Rostedt (Red Hat) authored 
      When CONFIG_FRAME_POINTERS are enabled, it is required that the
ftrace_caller and ftrace_regs_caller trampolines set up frame pointers
otherwise a stack trace from a function call wont print the functions
that called the trampoline. This is due to a check in
__save_stack_address():

 #ifdef CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER
	if (!reliable)
		return;
 #endif

The "reliable" variable is only set if the function address is equal to
contents of the address before the address the frame pointer register
points to. If the frame pointer is not set up for the ftrace caller
then this will fail the reliable test. It will miss the function that
called the trampoline. Worse yet, if fentry is used (gcc 4.6 and
beyond), it will also miss the parent, as the fentry is called before
the stack frame is set up. That means the bp frame pointer points
to the stack of just before the parent function was called.

      tracing: Fix race of function probes counting · a9ce7c36
      Steven Rostedt (Red Hat) authored 
      The function probe counting for traceon and traceoff suffered a race
condition where if the probe was executing on two or more CPUs at the
same time, it could decrement the counter by more than one when
disabling (or enabling) the tracer only once.

The way the traceon and traceoff probes are suppose to work is that
they disable (or enable) tracing once per count. If a user were to
echo 'schedule:traceoff:3' into set_ftrace_filter, then when the
schedule function was called, it would disable tracing. But the count
should only be decremented once (to 2). Then if the user enabled tracing
again (via tracing_on file), the next call to schedule would disable
tracing again and the count would be decremented to 1.

But if multiple CPUS called schedule at the same time, it is possible
that the count would be decremented more than once because of the
simple "count--" used.

By reading the count into a local variable and using memory barriers
we can guarantee that the count would only be decremented once per
disable (or enable).

The stack trace probe had a similar race, but here the stack trace will
decrement for each time it is called. But this had the read-modify-
write race, where it could stack trace more than the number of times
that was specified. This case we use a cmpxchg to stack trace only the
number of times specified.

The dump probes can still use the old "update_count()" function as
they only run once, and that is controlled by the dump logic
itself.

      ftrace/x86: Add dynamic allocated trampoline for ftrace_ops · f3bea491
      Steven Rostedt (Red Hat) authored 
      The current method of handling multiple function callbacks is to register
a list function callback that calls all the other callbacks based on
their hash tables and compare it to the function that the callback was
called on. But this is very inefficient.

For example, if you are tracing all functions in the kernel and then
add a kprobe to a function such that the kprobe uses ftrace, the
mcount trampoline will switch from calling the function trace callback
to calling the list callback that will iterate over all registered
ftrace_ops (in this case, the function tracer and the kprobes callback).
That means for every function being traced it checks the hash of the
ftrace_ops for function tracing and kprobes, even though the kprobes
is only set at a single function. The kprobes ftrace_ops is checked
for every function being traced!

Instead of calling the list function for functions that are only being
traced by a single callback, we can call a dynamically allocated
trampoline that calls the callback directly. The function graph tracer
already uses a direct call trampoline when it is being traced by itself
but it is not dynamically allocated. It's trampoline is static in the
kernel core. The infrastructure that called the function graph trampoline
can also be used to call a dynamically allocated one.

For now, only ftrace_ops that are not dynamically allocated can have
a trampoline. That is, users such as function tracer or stack tracer.
kprobes and perf allocate their ftrace_ops, and until there's a safe
way to free the trampoline, it can not be used. The dynamically allocated
ftrace_ops may, although, use the trampoline if the kernel is not
compiled with CONFIG_PREEMPT. But that will come later.

      ftrace: Fix checking of trampoline ftrace_ops in finding trampoline · 4fc40904
      Steven Rostedt (Red Hat) authored 
      When modifying code, ftrace has several checks to make sure things
are being done correctly. One of them is to make sure any code it
modifies is exactly what it expects it to be before it modifies it.
In order to do so with the new trampoline logic, it must be able
to find out what trampoline a function is hooked to in order to
see if the code that hooks to it is what's expected.

The logic to find the trampoline from a record (accounting descriptor
for a function that is hooked) needs to only look at the "old_hash"
of an ops that is being modified. The old_hash is the list of function
an ops is hooked to before its update. Since a record would only be
pointing to an ops that is being modified if it was already hooked
before.

Currently, it can pick a modified ops based on its new functions it
will be hooked to, and this picks the wrong trampoline and causes
the check to fail, disabling ftrace.

      ftrace: Set ops->old_hash on modifying what an ops hooks to · 8252ecf3
      Steven Rostedt (Red Hat) authored 
      The code that checks for trampolines when modifying function hooks
tests against a modified ops "old_hash". But the ops old_hash pointer
is not being updated before the changes are made, making it possible
to not find the right hash to the callback and possibly causing
ftrace to break in accounting and disable itself.

Have the ops set its old_hash before the modifying takes place.

      Pull audit updates from Eric Paris:
 "So this change across a whole bunch of arches really solves one basic
  problem.  We want to audit when seccomp is killing a process.  seccomp
  hooks in before the audit syscall entry code.  audit_syscall_entry
  took as an argument the arch of the given syscall.  Since the arch is
  part of what makes a syscall number meaningful it's an important part
  of the record, but it isn't available when seccomp shoots the
  syscall...

  For most arch's we have a better way to get the arch (syscall_get_arch)
  So the solution was two fold: Implement syscall_get_arch() everywhere
  there is audit which didn't have it.  Use syscall_get_arch() in the
  seccomp audit code.  Having syscall_get_arch() everywhere meant it was
  a useless flag on the stack and we could get rid of it for the typical
  syscall entry.

  The other changes inside the audit system aren't grand, fixed some
  records that had invalid spaces.  Better locking around the task comm
  field.  Removing some dead functions and structs.  Make some things
  static.  Really minor stuff"

  Tooling fixes and infrastructure changes:

   - Fix for double free in 'perf stat' when using some specific invalid
     command line combo (Yasser Shalabi)

   - Fix off-by-one bugs in map->end handling (Stephane Eranian)

   - Fix off-by-one bug in maps__find(), also related to map->end
     handling (Namhyung Kim)

   - Make struct symbol->end be the first addr after the symbol range,
     to make it match the convention used for struct map->end.  (Arnaldo
     Carvalho de Melo)

   - Fix perf_evlist__add_pollfd() error handling in 'perf kvm stat
     live' (Jiri Olsa)

   - Fix python test build by moving callchain_param to an object linked
     into the python binding (Jiri Olsa)

   - Document sysfs events/ interfaces (Cody P Schafer)

   - Fix typos in perf/Documentation (Masanari Iida)

   - Add missing 'struct option' forward declaration (Arnaldo Carvalho
     de Melo)

   - Add option to copy events when queuing for sorting across cpu
     buffers and enable it for 'perf kvm stat live', to avoid having
     events left in the queue pointing to the ring buffer be rewritten
     in high volume sessions.  (Alexander Yarygin, improving work done
     by David Ahern):

   - Do not include a struct hists per perf_evsel, untangling the
     histogram code from perf_evsel, to pave the way for exporting a
     minimalistic tools/lib/api/perf/ library usable by tools/perf and
     initially by the rasd daemon being developed by Borislav Petkov,
     Robert Richter and Jean Pihet.  (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

   - Make perf_evlist__open(evlist, NULL, NULL), i.e. without cpu and
     thread maps mean syswide monitoring, reducing the boilerplate for
     tools that only want system wide mode.  (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

   - Move exit stuff from perf_evsel__delete to perf_evsel__exit, delete
     should be just a front end for exit + free (Arnaldo Carvalho de
     Melo)

   - Add support to new style format of kernel PMU event.  (Kan Liang)

 "Here we have two bug fixes:

  1) The current thread's fault_code is not setup properly upon entry to
     do_sparc64_fault() in some paths, leading to spurious SIGBUS.

  2) Don't use a zero length array at the end of thread_info on sparc64,
     otherwise end_of_stack() isn't right"

 "A quick batch of bug fixes:

  1) Fix build with IPV6 disabled, from Eric Dumazet.

  2) Several more cases of caching SKB data pointers across calls to
     pskb_may_pull(), thus referencing potentially free'd memory.  From
     Li RongQing.

  3) DSA phy code tests operation presence improperly, instead of going:

        if (x->ops->foo)
                r = x->ops->foo(args);

     it was going:

        if (x->ops->foo(args))
                r = x->ops->foo(args);

      Net: DSA: Fix checking for get_phy_flags function · 228b16cb
      Andrew Lunn authored 
      The check for the presence or not of the optional switch function
get_phy_flags() called the function, rather than checked to see if it
is a NULL pointer. This causes a derefernce of a NULL pointer on all
switch chips except the sf2, the only switch to implement this call.

      sparc64: Do not define thread fpregs save area as zero-length array. · e2653143
      David S. Miller authored 
      This breaks the stack end corruption detection facility.

What that facility does it write a magic value to "end_of_stack()"
and checking to see if it gets overwritten.

"end_of_stack()" is "task_thread_info(p) + 1", which for sparc64 is
the beginning of the FPU register save area.

So once the user uses the FPU, the magic value is overwritten and the
debug checks trigger.

Fix this by making the size explicit.

Due to the size we use for the fpsaved[], gsr[], and xfsr[] arrays we
are limited to 7 levels of FPU state saves.  So each FPU register set
is 256 bytes, allocate 256 * 7 for the fpregs area.
