parse-options.h uses the NORETURN macro without defining it. perf doesn't see a build error because it defines the macro in util.h before including parse-options.h. But any other tool including it will see an error. Define the macro in parse-options.h (if not already defined) so that other tools can include it. Signed-off-by:

Commit 7f5f873c ("rculist: Use WRITE_ONCE() when deleting from reader-visible list") added the use of the WRITE_ONCE macro to the kernel version of list.h, which broke the stacktool build because the tools list.h includes the kernel list.h. Avoid this type of situation in the future and make list.h self-sufficient by copying the kernel list.h routines directly into tools list.h. This is a straight copy except for adjustments to the include statements and copying of the tools-specific list routines (list_del_range and list_for_each_from). Signed-off-by:

perf_event__synthesize_mmap_events() issues mmap2 events, but the memory of that event is allocated using: mmap_event = malloc(sizeof(mmap_event->mmap) + machine->id_hdr_size); If path of mmap source file is long (near PATH_MAX), random crash would happen. Should use sizeof(mmap_event->mmap2). Fix two memory allocations. Signed-off-by:

All hists test cases forget to reset err after using it to hold an error code. If error occure in setup_fake_machine() it incorrectly return TEST_OK. This patch fixes it. Suggested-and-Acked-by:

Wang Nan authored
Commit 71d6de64 ("perf test: Fix hist testcases when kptr_restrict is on") solves a double free problem when 'perf test hist' calling setup_fake_machine(). However, the result is still incorrect. For example: $ ./perf test -v 'filtering hist entries' 25: Test filtering hist entries : --- start --- test child forked, pid 4186 Cannot create kernel maps test child finished with 0 ---- end ---- Test filtering hist entries: Ok In this case the body of this test is not get executed at all, but the result is 'Ok'. Actually, in setup_fake_machine() there's no need to create real kernel maps. What we want are the fake maps. This patch removes the machine__create_kernel_maps() in setup_fake_machine(), so it won't be affected by kptr_restrict setting. Test result: $ cat /proc/sys/kernel/kptr_restrict 1 $ ~/perf test -v hist 15: Test matching and linking multiple hists : --- start --- test child forked, pid 24031 test child finished with 0 ---- end ---- Test matching and linking multiple hists: Ok [SNIP] Suggested-and-Acked-by:

Merge tag 'perf-core-for-mingo' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/acme/linux into perf/core Pull perf/core improvements and fixes from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo: New features: - Allow using trace events fields as sort order keys, making 'perf evlist --trace_fields' show those, and then the user can select a subset and use like: perf top -e sched:sched_switch -s prev_comm,next_comm That works as well in 'perf report' when handling files containing tracepoints. The default when just tracepoint events are found in a perf.data file is to format it like ftrace, using the libtraceevent formatters, plugins, etc (Namhyung Kim) - Add support in 'perf script' to process 'perf stat record' generated files, culminating in a python perf script that calculates CPI (Cycles per Instruction) (Jiri Olsa) - Show random perf tool tips in the 'perf report' bottom line (Namhyung Kim) - perf report now defaults to --group if the perf.data file has grouped events, try it with: # perf record -e '{cycles,instructions}' -a sleep 1 [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 1.093 MB perf.data (1247 samples) ] # perf report # Samples: 1K of event 'anon group { cycles, instructions }' # Event count (approx.): 1955219195 # # Overhead Command Shared Object Symbol 2.86% 0.22% swapper [kernel.kallsyms] [k] intel_idle 1.05% 0.33% firefox libxul.so [.] js::SetObjectElement 1.05% 0.00% kworker/0:3 [kernel.kallsyms] [k] gen6_ring_get_seqno 0.88% 0.17% chrome chrome [.] 0x0000000000ee27ab 0.65% 0.86% firefox libxul.so [.] js::ValueToId<(js::AllowGC)1> 0.64% 0.23% JS Helper libxul.so [.] js::SplayTree<js::jit::LiveRange*, js::jit::LiveRange>::splay 0.62% 1.27% firefox libxul.so [.] js::GetIterator 0.61% 1.74% firefox libxul.so [.] js::NativeSetProperty 0.61% 0.31% firefox libxul.so [.] js::SetPropertyByDefining User visible fixes: - Coect data mmaps so that the DWARF unwinder can handle usecases needing them, like softice (Jiri Olsa) - Decay callchains in fractal mode, fixing up cases where 'perf top -g' would show entries with more than 100% (Namhyung Kim) Infrastructure changes: - Sync tools/lib with the lib/ in the kernel sources for find_bit.c and move bitmap.[ch] from tools/perf/util/ to tools/lib/ (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo) - No need to set attr.sample_freq in some 'perf test' entries that only want to deal with PERF_RECORD_ meta-events, improve a bit error output for CQM test (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo) - Fix python binding build, adding some missing object files now required due to cpumap using find_bit stuff (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo) - tools/build improvemnts (Jiri Olsa) - Add more files to cscope/ctags databases (Jiri Olsa) - Do not show 'trace' in 'perf help' if it is not compiled in (Jiri Olsa) - Make perf_evlist__open() open evsels with their cpus and threads, like perf record does, making them consistent (Adrian Hunter) - Fix pmu snapshot initialization bug (Stephane Eranian) - Add missing headers in perf's MANIFEST (Wang Nan) Signed-off-by:

This is really unlikely but not impossible. Fixes: 373ccbe5 ("mm, vmstat: allow WQ concurrency to discover memory reclaim doesn't make any progress") Reported-by:

This replaces all code in fs/compat_ioctl.c that translated ioctl arguments into a in-kernel structure, then performed do_ioctl under set_fs(KERNEL_DS), with code that allocates data on the user stack and can call the VFS ioctl handler under USER_DS. This is done as a hardening measure because the caller does not know what kind of ioctl handler will be invoked, only that no corresponding compat_ioctl handler exists and what the ioctl command number is. The accidental invocation of an unlocked_ioctl handler that unexpectedly calls copy_to_user could be a severe security issue. Signed-off-by:

In code in fs/compat_ioctl.c that translates ioctl arguments into a in-kernel structure, then performs sys_ioctl, possibly under set_fs(KERNEL_DS), this commit changes the sys_ioctl calls to do_ioctl calls. do_ioctl is a new function that does the same thing as sys_ioctl, but doesn't look up the fd again. This change is made to avoid (potential) security issues because of ioctl handlers that accept one of the ioctl commands I2C_FUNCS, VIDEO_GET_EVENT, MTIOCPOS, MTIOCGET, TIOCGSERIAL, TIOCSSERIAL, RTC_IRQP_READ, RTC_EPOCH_READ. This can happen for multiple reasons: - The ioctl command number could be reused. - The ioctl handler might not check the full ioctl command. This is e.g. true for drm_ioctl. - The ioctl handler is very special, e.g. cuse_file_ioctl The real issue is that set_fs(KERNEL_DS) is used here, but that's fixed in a separate commit "compat_ioctl: don't call do_ioctl under set_fs(KERNEL_DS)". This change mitigates potential security issues by preventing a race that permits invocation of unlocked_ioctl handlers under KERNEL_DS through compat code even if a corresponding compat_ioctl handler exists. So far, no way has been identified to use this to damage kernel memory without having CAP_SYS_ADMIN in the init ns (with the capability, doing reads/writes at arbitrary kernel addresses should be easy through CUSE's ioctl handler with FUSE_IOCTL_UNRESTRICTED set).
