      perf: make events stream always parsable · ff3d527c
      Adrian Hunter authored 
      The event stream is not always parsable because the format of a sample
is dependent on the sample_type of the selected event.  When there is
more than one selected event and the sample_types are not the same then
parsing becomes problematic.  A sample can be matched to its selected
event using the ID that is allocated when the event is opened.
Unfortunately, to get the ID from the sample means first parsing it.

This patch adds a new sample format bit PERF_SAMPLE_IDENTIFER that puts
the ID at a fixed position so that the ID can be retrieved without
parsing the sample.  For sample events, that is the first position
immediately after the header.  For non-sample events, that is the last
position.

In this respect parsing samples requires that the sample_type and ID
values are recorded.  For example, perf tools records struct
perf_event_attr and the IDs within the perf.data file.  Those must be
read first before it is possible to parse samples found later in the
perf.data file.

      perf tools: Remove references to struct ip_event · ef89325f
      Adrian Hunter authored 
      The ip_event struct assumes fixed positions for ip, pid and tid.  That
is no longer true with the addition of PERF_SAMPLE_IDENTIFIER.  The
information is anyway in struct sample, so use that instead.

      The size of data retrieved from a sample event must be validated to
ensure it does not go past the end of the event.  That was being done
sporadically and without considering integer overflows.

      perf tools: change machine__findnew_thread() to set thread pid · 314add6b
      Adrian Hunter authored 
      Add a new parameter for 'pid' to machine__findnew_thread().
Change callers to pass 'pid' when it is known.

Note that callers sometimes want to find the main thread
which has the memory maps.  The main thread has tid == pid
so the usage in that case is:

	machine__findnew_thread(machine, pid, pid)

whereas the usage to find the specific thread is:

	machine__findnew_thread(machine, pid, tid)

      memcg: check that kmem_cache has memcg_params before accessing it · 6f6b8951
      Andrey Vagin authored 
      If the system had a few memory groups and all of them were destroyed,
memcg_limited_groups_array_size has non-zero value, but all new caches
are created without memcg_params, because memcg_kmem_enabled() returns
false.

We try to enumirate child caches in a few places and all of them are
potentially dangerous.

For example my kernel is compiled with CONFIG_SLAB and it crashed when I
tryed to mount a NFS share after a few experiments with kmemcg.

      drivers/base/memory.c: fix show_mem_removable() to handle missing sections · 21ea9f5a
      Russ Anderson authored 
      "cat /sys/devices/system/memory/memory*/removable" crashed the system.

The problem is that show_mem_removable() is passing a
bad pfn to is_mem_section_removable(), which causes

    if (!node_online(page_to_nid(page)))

to blow up.  Why is it passing in a bad pfn?

The reason is that show_mem_removable() will loop sections_per_block
times.  sections_per_block is 16, but mem->section_count is 8,
indicating holes in this memory block.  Checking that the memory section
is present before checking to see if the memory section is removable
fixes the problem.

      IPC: bugfix for msgrcv with msgtyp < 0 · 368ae537
      Svenning Sørensen authored 
      According to 'man msgrcv': "If msgtyp is less than 0, the first message of
the lowest type that is less than or equal to the absolute value of msgtyp
shall be received."

Bug: The kernel only returns a message if its type is 1; other messages
with type < abs(msgtype) will never get returned.

Fix: After having traversed the list to find the first message with the
lowest type, we need to actually return that message.

This regression was introduced by commit daaf74cf ("ipc: refactor
msg list search into separate function")

      vfs: make the dentry cache use the lockref infrastructure · 98474236
      Waiman Long authored 
      This just replaces the dentry count/lock combination with the lockref
structure that contains both a count and a spinlock, and does the
mechanical conversion to use the lockref infrastructure.

There are no semantic changes here, it's purely syntactic.  The
reference lockref implementation uses the spinlock exactly the same way
that the old dcache code did, and the bulk of this patch is just
expanding the internal "d_count" use in the dcache code to use
"d_lockref.count" instead.

This is purely preparation for the real change to make the reference
count updates be lockless during the 3.12 merge window.

[ As with the previous commit, this is a rewritten version of a concept
  originally from Waiman, so credit goes to him, blame for any errors
  goes to me.

  Waiman's patch had some semantic differences for taking advantage of
  the lockless update in dget_parent(), while this patch is
  intentionally a pure search-and-replace change with no semantic
  changes.     - Linus ]

      Add new lockref infrastructure reference implementation · 0f8f2aaa
      Waiman Long authored 
      This introduces a new "lockref" structure that supports the concept of
lockless updates of reference counts that still honor an attached
spinlock.

NOTE! This reference implementation is not the optimized lockless
version, rather it is the fallback implementation using standard
spinlocks.  The actual optimized versions will be merged into 3.12, but
I wanted to get the infrastructure in place and document the new
interfaces.

[ Also note that this particular commit is drastically cut-down minimal
  version of the original patch by Waiman.  In order to properly credit
  the original author I'm marking Waiman as the author here, but in the
  end this patch bears little resemblance to the patch by Waiman.  So
  blame any errors on me editing things down to the point where I can
  introduce the infrastructure before the merge window for 3.12 actually
  opens.     - Linus ]

      Linus Torvalds authored 
      This reverts commit bb2314b4.

It wasn't necessarily wrong per se, but we're still busily discussing
the exact details of this all, so I'm going to revert it for now.

It's true that you can already do flink() through /proc and that flink()
isn't new.  But as Brad Spengler points out, some secure environments do
not mount proc, and flink adds a new interface that can avoid path
lookup of the source for those kinds of environments.
