      perf: Add generic taken branch sampling support · bce38cd5
      Stephane Eranian authored 
      This patch adds the ability to sample taken branches to the
perf_event interface.

The ability to capture taken branches is very useful for all
sorts of analysis. For instance, basic block profiling, call
counts, statistical call graph.

This new capability requires hardware assist and as such may
not be available on all HW platforms. On Intel x86 it is
implemented on top of the Last Branch Record (LBR) facility.

To enable taken branches sampling, the PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_STACK
bit must be set in attr->sample_type.

Sampled taken branches may be filtered by type and/or priv
levels.

The patch adds a new field, called branch_sample_type, to the
perf_event_attr structure. It contains a bitmask of filters
to apply to the sampled taken branches.

Filters may be implemented in HW. If the HW filter does not exist
or is not good enough, some arch may also implement a SW filter.

The following generic filters are currently defined:
- PERF_SAMPLE_USER
  only branches whose targets are at the user level

- PERF_SAMPLE_KERNEL
  only branches whose targets are at the kernel level

- PERF_SAMPLE_HV
  only branches whose targets are at the hypervisor level

- PERF_SAMPLE_ANY
  any type of branches (subject to priv levels filters)

- PERF_SAMPLE_ANY_CALL
  any call branches (may incl. syscall on some arch)

- PERF_SAMPLE_ANY_RET
  any return branches (may incl. syscall returns on some arch)

- PERF_SAMPLE_IND_CALL
  indirect call branches

Obviously filter may be combined. The priv level bits are optional.
If not provided, the priv level of the associated event are used. It
is possible to collect branches at a priv level different from the
associated event. Use of kernel, hv priv levels is subject to permissions
and availability (hv).

The number of taken branch records present in each sample may vary based
on HW, the type of sampled branches, the executed code. Therefore
each sample contains the number of taken branches it contains.

      1) ICMP sockets leave err uninitialized but we try to return it for the
   unsupported MSG_OOB case, reported by Dave Jones.

2) Add new Zaurus device ID entries, from Dave Jones.

   Carpenter.

4) ks8851_probe() checks unsigned value as negative, fix also from Dan
   Carpenter.

5) Fix crashes in atl1c driver due to TX queue handling, from Eric
   Dumazet.  I anticipate some TX side locking fixes coming in the near
   future for this driver as well.

6) The inline directive fix in Bluetooth which was breaking the build

7) Fix crashes in the ATP CLIP code due to ARP cleanups this merge
   window, reported by Meelis Roos and fixed by Eric Dumazet.

8) JME driver doesn't flush RX FIFO correctly, from Guo-Fu Tseng.

9) Some ip6_route_output() callers test the return value for NULL, but
   this never happens as the convention is to return a dst entry with
   dst->error set.  Fixes from RonQing Li.

10) Logitech Harmony 900 should be handled by zaurus driver not
   cdc_ether, update white lists and black lists accordingly.  From
   Scott Talbert.

11) Receiving from certain kinds of devices there won't be a MAC header,
   so there is no MAC header to fixup in the IPSEC code, and if we try
   to do it we'll crash.  Fix from Eric Dumazet.

12) Port type array indexing off-by-one in mlx4 driver, fix from Yevgeny
   Petrilin.

13) Fix regression in link-down handling in davinci_emac which causes
   all RX descriptors to be freed up and therefore RX to wedge
   completely, from Christian Riesch.

14) It took two attempts, but ctnetlink soft lockups seem to be
   cured now, from Pablo Neira Ayuso.

15) Endianness bug fix in ENIC driver, from Santosh Nayak.

16) The long ago conversion of the PPP fragmentation code over to
   abstracted SKB list handling wasn't perfect, once we get an
   out of sequence SKB we don't flush the rest of them like we
   should.  From Ben McKeegan.

17) Fix regression of ->ip_summed initialization in sfc driver.
   From Ben Hutchings.

18) Bluetooth timeout mistakenly using msecs instead of jiffies,
   from Andrzej Kaczmarek.

19) Using _sync variant of work cancellation results in deadlocks,
   use the non _sync variants instead.  From Andre Guedes.

20) Bluetooth rfcomm code had reference counting problems leading
   to crashes, fix from Octavian Purdila.

21) The conversion of netem over to classful qdisc handling added
   two bugs to netem_dequeue(), fixes from Eric Dumazet.

22) Missing pci_iounmap() in ATM Solos driver.  Fix from Julia Lawall.

23) b44_pci_exit() should not have __exit tag since it's invoked from
   non-__exit code.  From Nikola Pajkovsky.

24) The conversion of the neighbour hash tables over to RCU added a
   race, fixed here by adding the necessary reread of tbl->nht, fix
   from Michel Machado.

25) When we added VF (virtual function) attributes for network device
   dumps, this potentially bloats up the size of the dump of one
   network device such that the dump size is too large for the buffer
   allocated by properly written netlink applications.

   In particular, if you add 255 VFs to a network device, parts of
   GLIBC stop working.

   To fix this, we add an attribute that is used to turn on these
   extended portions of the network device dump.  Sophisticaed
   applications like 'ip' that want to see this stuff  will be changed
   to set the attribute, whereas things like GLIBC that don't care
   about VFs simply will not, and therefore won't be busted by the
   mere presence of VFs on a network device.

   Thanks to the tireless work of Greg Rose on this fix.

      Fix autofs compile without CONFIG_COMPAT · 3c761ea0
      Linus Torvalds authored 
      The autofs compat handling fix caused a compile failure when
CONFIG_COMPAT isn't defined.

Instead of adding random #ifdef'fery in autofs, let's just make the
compat helpers earlier to use: without CONFIG_COMPAT, is_compat_task()
just hardcodes to zero.

We could probably do something similar for a number of other cases where
we have #ifdef's in code, but this is the low-hanging fruit.

      autofs: work around unhappy compat problem on x86-64 · a32744d4
      Ian Kent authored 
      When the autofs protocol version 5 packet type was added in commit
5c0a32fc ("autofs4: add new packet type for v5 communications"), it
obvously tried quite hard to be word-size agnostic, and uses explicitly
sized fields that are all correctly aligned.

However, with the final "char name[NAME_MAX+1]" array at the end, the
actual size of the structure ends up being not very well defined:
because the struct isn't marked 'packed', doing a "sizeof()" on it will
align the size of the struct up to the biggest alignment of the members
it has.

And despite all the members being the same, the alignment of them is
different: a "__u64" has 4-byte alignment on x86-32, but native 8-byte
alignment on x86-64.  And while 'NAME_MAX+1' ends up being a nice round
number (256), the name[] array starts out a 4-byte aligned.

End result: the "packed" size of the structure is 300 bytes: 4-byte, but
not 8-byte aligned.

As a result, despite all the fields being in the same place on all
architectures, sizeof() will round up that size to 304 bytes on
architectures that have 8-byte alignment for u64.

Note that this is *not* a problem for 32-bit compat mode on POWER, since
there __u64 is 8-byte aligned even in 32-bit mode.  But on x86, 32-bit
and 64-bit alignment is different for 64-bit entities, and as a result
the structure that has exactly the same layout has different sizes.

So on x86-64, but no other architecture, we will just subtract 4 from
the size of the structure when running in a compat task.  That way we
will write the properly sized packet that user mode expects.

Not pretty.  Sadly, this very subtle, and unnecessary, size difference
has been encoded in user space that wants to read packets of *exactly*
the right size, and will refuse to touch anything else.

      sfc: Fix assignment of ip_summed for pre-allocated skbs · ff3bc1e7
      Ben Hutchings authored 
      When pre-allocating skbs for received packets, we set ip_summed =
CHECKSUM_UNNCESSARY.  We used to change it back to CHECKSUM_NONE when
the received packet had an incorrect checksum or unhandled protocol.

Commit bc8acf2c ('drivers/net: avoid
some skb->ip_summed initializations') mistakenly replaced the latter
assignment with a DEBUG-only assertion that ip_summed ==
CHECKSUM_NONE.  This assertion is always false, but it seems no-one
has exercised this code path in a DEBUG build.

Fix this by moving our assignment of CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY into
efx_rx_packet_gro().
