And store the parsed value there. Note that the 'abi' is 0 (no registers), 1 (32-bit registers) or 2 (64-bit registers), but the registers are anyway copied one-by-one as 64-bit values onto the event i.e. see 'perf_output_sample_regs()' Acked-by: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@redhat.com> Cc: David Ahern <dsahern@gmail.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@redhat.com> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Cc: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@gmail.com> Cc: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1377591794-30553-9-git-send-email-adrian.hunter@intel.comSigned-off-by: Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>

Enable parsing of samples with sample format bit PERF_SAMPLE_IDENTIFIER. In addition, if the kernel supports it, prefer it to selecting PERF_SAMPLE_ID thereby allowing non-matching sample types.

perf_evlist__config() must be moved to a separate source file to avoid Python link errors when adding support for PERF_SAMPLE_IDENTIFIER. It is appropriate to do this because perf_evlist__config() is a helper function for event recording. It is used by tools to apply recording options to perf_evlist. It is not used by the Python API.

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.

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) Signed-off-by: Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@intel.com> Acked-by: David Ahern <dsahern@gmail.com> Cc: David Ahern <dsahern@gmail.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@redhat.com> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Cc: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@gmail.com> Cc: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1377591794-30553-2-git-send-email-adrian.hunter@intel.comSigned-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>

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.

"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. harp5-sys:~ # cat /sys/devices/system/memory/memory*/removable 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ffffea00c3200000 IP: [<ffffffff81117ed1>] is_pageblock_removable_nolock+0x1/0x90 PGD 83ffd4067 PUD 37bdfce067 PMD 0 Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP Modules linked in: autofs4 binfmt_misc rdma_ucm rdma_cm iw_cm ib_addr ib_srp scsi_transport_srp scsi_tgt ib_ipoib ib_cm ib_uverbs ib_umad iw_cxgb3 cxgb3 mdio mlx4_en mlx4_ib ib_sa mlx4_core ib_mthca ib_mad ib_core fuse nls_iso8859_1 nls_cp437 vfat fat joydev loop hid_generic usbhid hid hwperf(O) numatools(O) dm_mod iTCO_wdt ipv6 iTCO_vendor_support igb i2c_i801 ioatdma i2c_algo_bit ehci_pci pcspkr lpc_ich i2c_core ehci_hcd ptp sg mfd_core dca rtc_cmos pps_core mperf button xhci_hcd sd_mod crc_t10dif usbcore usb_common scsi_dh_emc scsi_dh_hp_sw scsi_dh_alua scsi_dh_rdac scsi_dh gru(O) xvma(O) xfs crc32c libcrc32c thermal sata_nv processor piix mptsas mptscsih scsi_transport_sas mptbase megaraid_sas fan thermal_sys hwmon ext3 jbd ata_piix ahci libahci libata scsi_mod CPU: 4 PID: 5991 Comm: cat Tainted: G O 3.11.0-rc5-rja-uv+ #10 Hardware name: SGI UV2000/ROMLEY, BIOS SGI UV 2000/3000 series BIOS 01/15/2013 task: ffff88081f034580 ti: ffff880820022000 task.ti: ffff880820022000 RIP: 0010:[<ffffffff81117ed1>] [<ffffffff81117ed1>] is_pageblock_removable_nolock+0x1/0x90 RSP: 0018:ffff880820023df8 EFLAGS: 00010287 RAX: 0000000000040000 RBX: ffffea00c3200000 RCX: 0000000000000004 RDX: ffffea00c30b0000 RSI: 00000000001c0000 RDI: ffffea00c3200000 RBP: ffff880820023e38 R08: 0000000000000000 R09: 0000000000000001 R10: 0000000000000000 R11: 0000000000000001 R12: ffffea00c33c0000 R13: 0000160000000000 R14: 6db6db6db6db6db7 R15: 0000000000000001 FS: 00007ffff7fb2700(0000) GS:ffff88083fc80000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033 CR2: ffffea00c3200000 CR3: 000000081b954000 CR4: 00000000000407e0 Call Trace: show_mem_removable+0x41/0x70 dev_attr_show+0x2a/0x60 sysfs_read_file+0xf7/0x1c0 vfs_read+0xc8/0x130 SyS_read+0x5d/0xa0 system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b Signed-off-by: Russ Anderson <rja@sgi.com> Cc: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org> Cc: "Rafael J.

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.

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 ] Signed-off-by: Waiman Long <Waiman.Long@hp.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

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 ] Signed-off-by: Waiman Long <Waiman.Long@hp.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

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. We may re-do this (and even mark it for stable backporting back in 3.11 and possibly earlier) once the whole discussion about the interface is done.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/broonie/regmapLinus Torvalds authored
Pull regmap fixes from Mark Brown: "Two changes here: - Fix a bug in the rbtree code which could cause it to create two different cache entries for the same register by adding a single register at a time to the cache. This isn't awesome for performance but it's non-invasive which we need for this late in the release cycle and the I/O costs we're trying to avoid are high. - Add another header used in the !CONFIG_REGMAP stubs where we had been relying on implicit inclusion" * tag 'regmap-v3.11-rc7' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/broonie/regmap: regmap: rbtree: Fix overlapping rbnodes. regmap: Add another missing header for !CONFIG_REGMAP stubs

Pull powerpc fixes from Ben Herrenschmidt: "Here are 3 bug fixes that should probably go into 3.11 since I'm also tagging them for stable. Once fixes our old /proc/powerpc/lparcfg file which provides partition informations when running under our hypervisor and also acts as a user-triggerable Oops when hot :-( The other two respectively are a one liner to fix a HVSI protocol handshake problem causing the console to fail to show up on a bunch of machines until we reach userspace, which I deem annoying enough to warrant going to stable, and a nasty gcc miscompile causing us to pass virtual instead of physical addresses to the firmware under some circumstances" * 'merge' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/benh/powerpc: powerpc/hvsi: Increase handshake timeout from 200ms to 400ms. powerpc: Work around gcc miscompilation of __pa() on 64-bit powerpc: Don't Oops when accessing /proc/powerpc/lparcfg without hypervisor

Dave reported corrupted swap entries | [ 4588.541886] swap_free: Unused swap offset entry 00002d15 | [ 4588.541952] BUG: Bad page map in process trinity-kid12 pte:005a2a80 pmd:22c01f067 and Hugh pointed that in move_ptes _PAGE_SOFT_DIRTY bit set regardless the type of entry pte consists of. The trick here is that when we carry soft dirty status in swap entries we are to use _PAGE_SWP_SOFT_DIRTY instead, because this is the only place in pte which can be used for own needs without intersecting with bits owned by swap entry type/offset.

This solves a problem observed in kexec'ed kernel where 200ms timeout is too short and bootconsole fails to initialize. Console did eventually become workable but much later into the boot process. Observed timeout was around 260ms, but I decided to make it a little bigger for more reliability. This has been tested on Power7 machine with Petitboot as a primary bootloader and PowerNV firmware.

Paul Mackerras authored
On 64-bit, __pa(&static_var) gets miscompiled by recent versions of gcc as something like: addis 3,2,.LANCHOR1+4611686018427387904@toc@ha addi 3,3,.LANCHOR1+4611686018427387904@toc@l This ends up effectively ignoring the offset, since its bottom 32 bits are zero, and means that the result of __pa() still has 0xC in the top nibble. This happens with gcc 4.8.1, at least. To work around this, for 64-bit we make __pa() use an AND operator, and for symmetry, we make __va() use an OR operator. Using an AND operator rather than a subtraction ends up with slightly shorter code since it can be done with a single clrldi instruction, whereas it takes three instructions to form the constant (-PAGE_OFFSET) and add it on. (Note that MEMORY_START is always 0 on 64-bit.) CC: <stable@vger.kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

Benjamin Herrenschmidt authored
/proc/powerpc/lparcfg is an ancient facility (though still actively used) which allows access to some informations relative to the partition when running underneath a PAPR compliant hypervisor. It makes no sense on non-pseries machines. However, currently, not only can it be created on these if the kernel has pseries support, but accessing it on such a machine will crash due to trying to do hypervisor calls. In fact, it should also not do HV calls on older pseries that didn't have an hypervisor either. Finally, it has the plumbing to be a module but is a "bool" Kconfig option. This fixes the whole lot by turning it into a machine_device_initcall that is only created on pseries, and adding the necessary hypervisor check before calling the H_GET_EM_PARMS hypercall CC: <stable@vger.kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

Commit 9a11899c (USB: OHCI: add missing PCI PM callbacks to ohci-pci.c) added missing ohci_suspend and ohci_resume callback pointers, but forgot that these callbacks are declared and defined only when CONFIG_PM is enabled. This patch adds a preprocessor conditional to avoid build errors when PM is disabled.

The mmap syscalls, for instance, don't have the FORMAT_IS_POINTER for its pointer arguments, override it. This also paves the way for more specialized argument beautifiers, like for mmap's prot and flags arguments.
