Merge tag 'perf-urgent-for-mingo' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/acme/linux into perf/urgent Pull perf/urgent fixes from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo: - tracepoint_error() can receive e=NULL, robustify it, fixes a problem noticed with a very specific combination: Machine with Intel PT (e.g. Broadwell), kernel with no perf_event_attr.context_switch feature (e.g. 4.2) and unreadable tracefs (for instance !root users), making the fallback from perf_event_attr.context_switch to the sched:sched_switch tracepoint to fail reading its info from tracefs, fix it. (Adrian Hunter) - Fix segfault in intel PT, by making it follow the 'struct thread' lifetime cycle checking expectations, noticed for instance, when processing perf.data files with Intel PT data using 'perf script' and when exiting 'perf report' (Adrian Hunter) - Fix CFI usage from .eh_frame and .debug_frame, which sometimes requires that we fallback from .eh_frame to .debug_frame in architectures such as PowerPC (Hemant Kumar) Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>

Trinity is now hitting the WARN_ON_ONCE we added in v3.15 commit cda540ac ("mm: get_user_pages(write,force) refuse to COW in shared areas"). The warning has served its purpose, nobody was harmed by that change, so just remove the warning to generate less noise from Trinity. Which reminds me of the comment I wrongly left behind with that commit (but was spotted at the time by Kirill), which has since moved into a separate function, and become even more obscure: delete it.

Enclosing '#include <linux/acpi.h>' within '#ifdef CONFIG_ACPI' is unnecessary, since it has its own conditional compile for CONFIG_ACPI. Commit 0fbcf4af ("ipmi: Convert the IPMI SI ACPI handling to a platform device") exposed this as a problem for platforms that do not support ACPI when it introduced a call to ACPI_PTR() macro outside of the CONFIG_ACPI conditional compile. This would have been perfectly acceptable if acpi.h were not conditionally excluded for the non-acpi platform, because the conditional compile within acpi.h defines ACPI_PTR() to return NULL when compiled for non acpi platforms.

We allocate a pgtable but do not attach it to anything if the PMD is in a DAX VMA, causing it to leak. We certainly try to not free pgtables associated with the huge zero page if the zero page is in a DAX VMA, so I think this is the right solution. This needs to be properly audited.

of_hwspin_lock_get_id() is protected by the RCU lock, which means that insertions can occur simultaneously with the lookup. If the radix tree transitions from a height of 0, we can see a slot with the indirect_ptr bit set, which will cause us to at least read random memory, and could cause other havoc. Fix this by using the newly introduced radix_tree_iter_retry().

If the indirect_ptr bit is set on a slot, that indicates we need to redo the lookup. Introduce a new function radix_tree_iter_retry() which forces the loop to retry the lookup by setting 'slot' to NULL and turning the iterator back to point at the problematic entry. This is a pretty rare problem to hit at the moment; the lookup has to race with a grow of the radix tree from a height of 0. The consequences of hitting this race are that gang lookup could return a pointer to a radix_tree_node instead of a pointer to whatever the user had inserted in the tree.

This patch provides a way of working around a slight regression introduced by commit 84638335 ("mm: rework virtual memory accounting"). Before that commit RLIMIT_DATA have control only over size of the brk region. But that change have caused problems with all existing versions of valgrind, because it set RLIMIT_DATA to zero. This patch fixes rlimit check (limit actually in bytes, not pages) and by default turns it into warning which prints at first VmData misuse: "mmap: top (795): VmData 516096 exceed data ulimit 512000. Will be forbidden soon." Behavior is controlled by boot param ignore_rlimit_data=y/n and by sysfs /sys/module/kernel/parameters/ignore_rlimit_data. For now it set to "y".

Commit b7643757 ("procfs: mark thread stack correctly in proc/<pid>/maps") added [stack:TID] annotation to /proc/<pid>/maps. Finding the task of a stack VMA requires walking the entire thread list, turning this into quadratic behavior: a thousand threads means a thousand stacks, so the rendering of /proc/<pid>/maps needs to look at a million combinations. The cost is not in proportion to the usefulness as described in the patch. Drop the [stack:TID] annotation to make /proc/<pid>/maps (and /proc/<pid>/numa_maps) usable again for higher thread counts. The [stack] annotation inside /proc/<pid>/task/<tid>/maps is retained, as identifying the stack VMA there is an O(1) operation. Siddesh said: "The end users needed a way to identify thread stacks programmatically and there wasn't a way to do that. I'm afraid I no longer remember (or have access to the resources that would aid my memory since I changed employers) the details of their requirement. However, I did do this on my own time because I thought it was an interesting project for me and nobody really gave any feedback then as to its utility, so as far as I am concerned you could roll back the main thread maps information since the information is available in the thread-specific files" Signed-off-by: Johannes Weiner <hannes@cmpxchg.org> Cc: "Kirill A.

When working with hugetlbfs ptes (which are actually pmds) is not valid to directly use pte functions like pte_present() because the hardware bit layout of pmds and ptes can be different. This is the case on s390. Therefore we have to convert the hugetlbfs ptes first into a valid pte encoding with huge_ptep_get(). Currently the /proc/<pid>/numa_maps code uses hugetlbfs ptes without huge_ptep_get(). On s390 this leads to the following two problems: 1) The pte_present() function returns false (instead of true) for PROT_NONE hugetlb ptes. Therefore PROT_NONE vmas are missing completely in the "numa_maps" output. 2) The pte_dirty() function always returns false for all hugetlb ptes. Therefore these pages are reported as "mapped=xxx" instead of "dirty=xxx". Therefore use huge_ptep_get() to correctly convert the hugetlb ptes.

'perf probe' through debuginfo__find_probes() in util/probe-finder.c checks for the functions' frame descriptions in either .eh_frame section of an ELF or the .debug_frame. The check is based on whether either one of these sections is present. Depending on distro, toolchain defaults, architetcutre, build flags, etc., CFI might be found in either .eh_frame and/or .debug_frame. Sometimes, it may happen that, .eh_frame, even if present, may not be complete and may miss some descriptions. Therefore, to be sure, to find the CFI covering an address we will always have to investigate both if available. For e.g., in powerpc, this may happen: $ gcc -g bin.c -o bin $ objdump --dwarf ./bin <1><145>: Abbrev Number: 7 (DW_TAG_subprogram) <146> DW_AT_external : 1 <146> DW_AT_name : (indirect string, offset: 0x9e): main <14a> DW_AT_decl_file : 1 <14b> DW_AT_decl_line : 39 <14c> DW_AT_prototyped : 1 <14c> DW_AT_type : <0x57> <150> DW_AT_low_pc : 0x100007b8 If the .eh_frame and .debug_frame are checked for the same binary, we will find that, .eh_frame (although present) doesn't contain a description for "main" function. But, .debug_frame has a description: 000000d8 00000024 00000000 FDE cie=00000000 pc=100007b8..10000838 DW_CFA_advance_loc: 16 to 100007c8 DW_CFA_def_cfa_offset: 144 DW_CFA_offset_extended_sf: r65 at cfa+16 ... Due to this (since, perf checks whether .eh_frame is present and goes on searching for that address inside that frame), perf is unable to process the probes: # perf probe -x ./bin main Failed to get call frame on 0x100007b8 Error: Failed to add events. To avoid this issue, we need to check both the sections (.eh_frame and .debug_frame), which is done in this patch. Note that, we can always force everything into both .eh_frame and .debug_frame by: $ gcc bin.c -fasynchronous-unwind-tables -fno-dwarf2-cfi-asm -g -o bin Signed-off-by: Hemant Kumar <hemant@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Acked-by: Masami Hiramatsu <masami.hiramatsu.pt@hitachi.com> Cc: linuxppc-dev@lists.ozlabs.org Cc: Mark Wielaard <mjw@redhat.com> Cc: Naveen N.

Fix by checking before using. Committer note: This doesn't take place in a kernel that supports perf_event_attr.context_switch, that is the default way that will be used for tracking context switches, only in older kernels, like 4.2, in a machine with Intel PT (e.g. Broadwell) for non-priviledged users. Further info from a similar patch by Wang: The error is in tracepoint_error: it assumes the 'e' parameter is valid. However, there are many situation a parse_event() can be called without parse_events_error.
