Leverage the commit for ARM by Will Deacon: - 446a5a8b ARM: 6205/1: perf: ensure counter delta is treated as unsigned Hardware performance counters on ARM are 32-bits wide but atomic64_t variables are used to represent counter data in the hw_perf_event structure. The armpmu_event_update function right-shifts a signed 64-bit delta variable and adds the result to the event count. This can lead to shifting in sign-bits if the MSB of the 32-bit counter value is set. This results in perf output such as: Performance counter stats for 'sleep 20': 18446744073460670464 cycles <-- 0xFFFFFFFFF12A6000 7783773 instructions # 0.000 IPC 465 context-switches 161 page-faults 1172393 branches 20.154242147 seconds time elapsed This patch ensures that the delta value is treated as unsigned so that the right shift sets the upper bits to zero.

This is the MIPS part of the following commits by Frederic Weisbecker: - f72c1a93 perf: Factorize callchain context handling Store the kernel and user contexts from the generic layer instead of archs, this gathers some repetitive code. - 56962b44 perf: Generalize some arch callchain code - Most archs use one callchain buffer per cpu, except x86 that needs to deal with NMIs. Provide a default perf_callchain_buffer() implementation that x86 overrides. - Centralize all the kernel/user regs handling and invoke new arch handlers from there: perf_callchain_user() / perf_callchain_kernel() That avoid all the user_mode(), current->mm checks and so... - Invert some parameters in perf_callchain_*() helpers: entry to the left, regs to the right, following the traditional (dst, src). - 70791ce9 perf: Generalize callchain_store() callchain_store() is the same on every archs, inline it in perf_event.h and rename it to perf_callchain_store() to avoid any collision. This removes repetitive code. - c1a65932 perf: Drop unappropriate tests on arch callchains Drop the TASK_RUNNING test on user tasks for callchains as this check doesn't seem to make any sense. Also remove the tests for !current that is not supposed to happen and current->pid as this should be handled at the generic level, with exclude_idle attribute. Reported-by:

Ignore events that are in off/error state or belong to a different PMU. This patch originates from the following commit for ARM by Will Deacon: - 65b4711f ARM: 6352/1: perf: fix event validation The validate_event function in the ARM perf events backend has the following problems: 1.) Events that are disabled count towards the cost. 2.) Events associated with other PMUs [for example, software events or breakpoints] do not count towards the cost, but do fail validation, causing the group to fail. This patch changes validate_event so that it ignores events in the PERF_EVENT_STATE_OFF state or that are scheduled for other PMUs. Acked-by:

This is the MIPS part of the following commits by Peter Zijlstra: - a4eaf7f1 perf: Rework the PMU methods Replace pmu::{enable,disable,start,stop,unthrottle} with pmu::{add,del,start,stop}, all of which take a flags argument. The new interface extends the capability to stop a counter while keeping it scheduled on the PMU. We replace the throttled state with the generic stopped state. This also allows us to efficiently stop/start counters over certain code paths (like IRQ handlers). It also allows scheduling a counter without it starting, allowing for a generic frozen state (useful for rotating stopped counters). The stopped state is implemented in two different ways, depending on how the architecture implemented the throttled state: 1) We disable the counter: a) the pmu has per-counter enable bits, we flip that b) we program a NOP event, preserving the counter state 2) We store the counter state and ignore all read/overflow events For MIPSXX, the stopped state is implemented in the way of 1.b as above. - 33696fc0 perf: Per PMU disable Changes perf_disable() into perf_pmu_disable(). - 24cd7f54 perf: Reduce perf_disable() usage Since the current perf_disable() usage is only an optimization, remove it for now. This eases the removal of the __weak hw_perf_enable() interface. - b0a873eb perf: Register PMU implementations Simple registration interface for struct pmu, this provides the infrastructure for removing all the weak functions. - 51b0fe39 perf: Deconstify struct pmu sed -ie 's/const struct pmu\>/struct pmu/g' `git grep -l "const struct pmu\>"` Reported-by:

This is the MIPS part of the following commit by Peter Zijlstra: - e360adbe irq_work: Add generic hardirq context callbacks Provide a mechanism that allows running code in IRQ context. It is most useful for NMI code that needs to interact with the rest of the system -- like wakeup a task to drain buffers. Perf currently has such a mechanism, so extract that and provide it as a generic feature, independent of perf so that others may also benefit. The IRQ context callback is generated through self-IPIs where possible, or on architectures like powerpc the decrementer (the built-in timer facility) is set to generate an interrupt immediately. Architectures that don't have anything like this get to do with a callback from the timer tick. These architectures can call irq_work_run() at the tail of any IRQ handlers that might enqueue such work (like the perf IRQ handler) to avoid undue latencies in processing the work. For MIPSXX, we need to call irq_work_run() at the tail of the perf IRQ handler as described above. Reported-by:

GCC-4.6 can find more unused code than previous versions could. In the case of protected_restore_fp_context{,32}, the variable tmp is really used. Its use is tricky in that we really care about the side effects of the __put_user() calls. So we must mark tmp with __maybe_unused to quiet the warning. Signed-off-by: -

Loongson builds have an ad-hoc cmdline default of "console=ttyS0,115200 root=/dev/hda1". These settings come from a vendor; I remember builds from Lemote branch requiring a "console=tty" override in order to get a working console. At least on Yeeloong, they're particularly useless: there's no external serial port, and the IDE drive is now recognised as /dev/sda. Signed-off-by:

trace.func should be set to the recorded ip of the mcount calling site in the __mcount_loc section to filter the function entries configured through the tracing/set_graph_function interface, but before, this is set to the self_ra(the return address of mcount), which has made set_graph_function not work as expected. This fixes it via calculating the right recorded ip in the __mcount_loc section and assign it to trace.func. Reported-by:

The old prepare_ftrace_return() for MIPS is confused and have introduced some problem. This patch cleans up the names of the arguments, variables and related functions. For MIPS, the 2nd argument of prepare_ftrace_return() is not really the 'selfpc' described in ftrace-design.txt but instead it is the self return address. This did break the compatibility of the generic interface but really reduced one unneeded calculation for to get the current function name, the parent return address and the self return address are enough, no need to tranform the self return address to the self address. But set_graph_function of function graph tracer is an exception, it does need the 2nd argument of prepare_ftrace_return() as 'selfpc', for it will use 'selfpc' to match user's configuration of function graph entries, but in reality, it doesn't need the 'selfpc' but the recorded ip address of the mcount calling site in the __mcount_loc section. So, the 2nd argument of prepare_ftrace_return() is not important, the real requirement is the right recorded ip address should be calculated and assign to trace.func, this will be fixed in the next patches.

The old in_module() may not work in some situations(e.g. when module & kernel are in the same address space when CONFIG_MAPPED_KERNEL=y), The in_kernel_space() is more generic and it is also easy to be implemented via cloning the existing core_kernel_text(), so, replace the in_module() with in_kernel_space().

Fix for a dumb preadv()/pwritev() compat bug - unlike the native variants, the compat_... ones forget to check FMODE_P{READ,WRITE}, so e.g. on pipe the native preadv() will fail with -ESPIPE and compat one will act as readv() and succeed. Not critical, but it's a clear bug with trivial fix, so IMO it's OK for -final. Signed-off-by:Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Signed-off-by:

When vmscan.c calls page_referenced(), if an anon page was created before a process forked, rmap will search for it in both of the processes, even though one of them might have since broken COW. If the child process mlocks the vma where the COWed page belongs to, page_referenced() running on the page mapped by the parent would lead to *vm_flags getting VM_LOCKED set erroneously (leading to the references on the parent page being ignored and evicting the parent page too early). *mapcount would also be decremented by page_referenced_one even if the page wasn't found by page_check_address. This also lets pmdp_clear_flush_young_notify() go ahead on a pmd_trans_splitting() pmd. We hold the page_table_lock so __split_huge_page_map() must wait the pmdp_clear_flush_young_notify() to complete before it can modify the pmd. The pmd is also still mapped in userland so the young bit may materialize through a tlb miss before split_huge_page_map runs. This will provide a more accurate page_referenced() behavior during split_huge_page(). Signed-off-by:

Josef had changed shrink_delalloc to exit after three shrink attempts, which wasn't quite enough because new writers could race in and steal free space. But it also fixed deadlocks and stalls as we tried to recover delalloc reservations. The code was tweaked to loop 1024 times, and would reset the counter any time a small amount of progress was made. This was too drastic, and with a lot of writers we can end up stuck in shrink_delalloc forever. The shrink_delalloc loop is fairly complex because the caller is looping too, and the caller will go ahead and force a transaction commit to make sure we reclaim space. This reworks things to exit shrink_delalloc when we've forced some writeback and the delalloc reservations have gone down. This means the writeback has not just started but has also finished at least some of the metadata changes required to reclaim delalloc space. If we've got this wrong, we're returning ENOSPC too early, which is a big improvement over the current behavior of hanging the machine. Test 224 in xfstests hammers on this nicely, and with 1000 writers trying to fill a 1GB drive we get our first ENOSPC at 93% full. The other writers are able to continue until we get 100%. This is a worst case test for btrfs because the 1000 writers are doing small IO, and the small FS size means we don't have a lot of room for metadata chunks.

BZ29402 https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=29402 We can hit serious mis-synchronization in bio completion path of blkdev_issue_zeroout() leading to a panic. The problem is that when we are going to wait_for_completion() in blkdev_issue_zeroout() we check if the bb.done equals issued (number of submitted bios). If it does, we can skip the wait_for_completition() and just out of the function since there is nothing to wait for. However, there is a ordering problem because bio_batch_end_io() is calling atomic_inc(&bb->done) before complete(), hence it might seem to blkdev_issue_zeroout() that all bios has been completed and exit. At this point when bio_batch_end_io() is going to call complete(bb->wait), bb and wait does not longer exist since it was allocated on stack in blkdev_issue_zeroout() ==> panic! (thread 1) (thread 2) bio_batch_end_io() blkdev_issue_zeroout() if(bb) { ... if (bb->end_io) ... bb->end_io(bio, err); ... atomic_inc(&bb->done); ... ... while (issued != atomic_read(&bb.done)) ... (let issued == bb.done) ... (do the rest of the function) ... return ret; complete(bb->wait); ^^^^^^^^ panic We can fix this easily by simplifying bio_batch and completion counting. Also remove bio_end_io_t *end_io since it is not used. Signed-off-by:
