      genirq: prevent wakeup of freed irq thread · 2d860ad7
      Linus Torvalds authored
      free_irq() can remove an irqaction while the corresponding interrupt
      is in progress, but free_irq() sets action->thread to NULL
      unconditionally, which might lead to a NULL pointer dereference in
      handle_IRQ_event() when the hard interrupt context tries to wake up
      the handler thread.
      
      Prevent this by moving the thread stop after synchronize_irq(). No
      need to set action->thread to NULL either as action is going to be
      freed anyway.
      
      This fixes a boot crash reported against preempt-rt which uses the
      mainline irq threads code to implement full irq threading.

      Make sock_sendpage() use kernel_sendpage() · e6949583
      Linus Torvalds authored
      kernel_sendpage() does the proper default case handling for when the
      socket doesn't have a native sendpage implementation.
      
      Now, arguably this might be something that we could instead solve by
      just specifying that all protocols should do it themselves at the
      protocol level, but we really only care about the common protocols.
      Does anybody really care about sendpage on something like Appletalk? Not
      likely.

      perf_counter: Report the cloning task as parent on perf_counter_fork() · 94d5d1b2
      Peter Zijlstra authored
      A bug in (9f498cc5: perf_counter: Full task tracing) makes
      profiling multi-threaded apps it go belly up.
      
      [ output as: (PID:TID):(PPID:PTID) ]
      
       # ./perf report -D | grep FORK
      0x4b0 [0x18]: PERF_EVENT_FORK: (3237:3237):(3236:3236)
      0xa10 [0x18]: PERF_EVENT_FORK: (3237:3238):(3236:3236)
      0xa70 [0x18]: PERF_EVENT_FORK: (3237:3239):(3236:3236)
      0xad0 [0x18]: PERF_EVENT_FORK: (3237:3240):(3236:3236)
      0xb18 [0x18]: PERF_EVENT_FORK: (3237:3241):(3236:3236)
      
      Shows us that the test (27d028de perf report: Update for the new
      FORK/EXIT events) in builtin-report.c:
      
              /*
               * A thread clone will have the same PID for both
               * parent and child.
               */
              if (thread == parent)
                      return 0;
      
      Will clearly fail.
      
      The problem is that perf_counter_fork() reports the actual
      parent, instead of the cloning thread.
      
      Fixing that (with the below patch), yields:
      
       # ./perf report -D | grep FORK
      0x4c8 [0x18]: PERF_EVENT_FORK: (1590:1590):(1589:1589)
      0xbd8 [0x18]: PERF_EVENT_FORK: (1590:1591):(1590:1590)
      0xc80 [0x18]: PERF_EVENT_FORK: (1590:1592):(1590:1590)
      0x3338 [0x18]: PERF_EVENT_FORK: (1590:1593):(1590:1590)
      0x66b0 [0x18]: PERF_EVENT_FORK: (1590:1594):(1590:1590)
      
      Which both makes more sense and doesn't confuse perf report
      anymore.

      perf_counter: Fix an ipi-deadlock · 970892a9
      Peter Zijlstra authored
      perf_pending_counter() is called from IRQ context and will call
      perf_counter_disable(), however perf_counter_disable() uses
      smp_call_function_single() which doesn't fancy being used with
      IRQs disabled due to IPI deadlocks.
      
      Fix this by making it use the local __perf_counter_disable()
      call and teaching the counter_sched_out() code about pending
      disables as well.
      
      This should cover the case where a counter migrates before the
      pending queue gets processed.

      perf: Rework/fix the whole read vs group stuff · 3dab77fb
      Peter Zijlstra authored
      Replace PERF_SAMPLE_GROUP with PERF_SAMPLE_READ and introduce
      PERF_FORMAT_GROUP to deal with group reads in a more generic
      way.
      
      This allows you to get group reads out of read() as well.
