2016-04-14perf record: Add '--timestamp-filename' option to append timestamp to output ↵Wang Nan
file name This option appends current timestamp to the output file name. For example: # perf record -a --timestamp-filename ^C[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Dump perf.data.2015122622265847 ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.742 MB perf.data.<timestamp> (90 samples) ] # ls perf.data.201512262226584 The timestamp will be useful for identifying each perf.data after the 'perf record' support for generating multiple output files gets introduced.

2016-04-14perf record: Turns auxtrace_snapshot_enable into 3 statesWang Nan
auxtrace_snapshot_enable has only two states (0/1). Turns it into a triple states enum so SIGUSR2 handler can safely do other works without triggering auxtrace snapshot.

2016-04-14perf session: Make ordered_events reusableWang Nan
ordered_events__free() leaves linked lists and timestamps not cleared, so unable to be reused after ordered_events__free(). Which is inconvenient after 'perf record' supports generating multiple perf.data output and process build-ids for each of them. Use ordered_events__reinit() for this.

[continued]: nanosleep()) = 0 # Further work is needed to reduce the number of lines in a perf bpf C source file, this being the part where we greatly reduce the command line setup (Wang Nan) - 'perf trace' now supports callchains, with 'trace --call-graph dwarf' using libunwind, just like 'perf top', to ask the kernel for stack dumps for CFI processing. This reduces the overhead by asking just for userspace callchains and also only for the syscall exit tracepoint (raw_syscalls:sys_exit) (Milian Wolff, Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo) Try it with, for instance: # perf trace --call dwarf ping 127.0.0.1 An excerpt of a system wide 'perf trace --call dwarf" session is at: https://fedorapeople.org/~acme/perf/perf-trace--call-graph-dwarf--all-cpus.txt You may need to bump the number of mmap pages, using -m/--mmap-pages, but on a Broadwell machine the defaults allowed system wide tracing to work without losing that many records, experiment with just some syscalls, like: # perf trace --call dwarf -e nanosleep,futex All the targets available for 'perf record', 'perf top' (--pid, --tid, --cpu, etc) should work. Also --duration may be interesting to try. To get filenames from in various syscalls pointer args (open, ettc), add this to the mix: # perf probe 'vfs_getname=getname_flags:72 pathname=filename:string' Making this work is next in line: # trace --call dwarf --ev sched:sched_switch/call-graph=fp/ usleep 1 I.e. honouring per-tracepoint callchains in 'perf trace' in addition to in raw_syscalls:sys_exit.

2016-04-11perf trace: Add support for printing call chains on sys_exit events.Milian Wolff
Now, one can print the call chain for every encountered sys_exit event, e.g.: $ perf trace -e nanosleep --call-graph dwarf path/to/ex_sleep 1005.757 (1000.090 ms): ex_sleep/13167 nanosleep(...) = 0 syscall_slow_exit_work ([kernel.kallsyms]) syscall_return_slowpath ([kernel.kallsyms]) int_ret_from_sys_call ([kernel.kallsyms]) __nanosleep (/usr/lib/libc-2.23.so) [unknown] (/usr/lib/libQt5Core.so.5.6.0) QThread::sleep (/usr/lib/libQt5Core.so.5.6.0) main (path/to/ex_sleep) __libc_start_main (/usr/lib/libc-2.23.so) _start (path/to/ex_sleep) Note that it is advised to increase the number of mmap pages to prevent event losses when using this new feature. Often, adding `-m 10M` to the `perf trace` invocation is enough. This feature is also available in strace when built with libunwind via `strace -k`. Performance wise, this solution is much better: $ time find path/to/linux &> /dev/null real 0m0.051s user 0m0.013s sys 0m0.037s $ time perf trace -m 800M --call-graph dwarf find path/to/linux &> /dev/null real 0m2.624s user 0m1.203s sys 0m1.333s $ time strace -k find path/to/linux &> /dev/null real 0m35.398s user 0m10.403s sys 0m23.173s Note that it is currently not possible to configure the print output. Adding such a feature, similar to what is available in `perf script` via its `--fields` knob can be added later on.

2016-04-10Revert "ext4: allow readdir()'s of large empty directories to be interrupted"Linus Torvalds
This reverts commit 1028b55bafb7611dda1d8fed2aeca16a436b7dff. It's broken: it makes ext4 return an error at an invalid point, causing the readdir wrappers to write the the position of the last successful directory entry into the position field, which means that the next readdir will now return that last successful entry _again_. You can only return fatal errors (that terminate the readdir directory walk) from within the filesystem readdir functions, the "normal" errors (that happen when the readdir buffer fills up, for example) happen in the iterorator where we know the position of the actual failing entry. I do have a very different patch that does the "signal_pending()" handling inside the iterator function where it is allowable, but while that one passes all the sanity checks, I screwed up something like four times while emailing it out, so I'm not going to commit it today. So my track record is not good enough, and the stars will have to align better before that one gets committed. And it would be good to get some review too, of course, since celestial alignments are always an iffy debugging model. IOW, let's just revert the commit that caused the problem for now.

The two fixes to the core are serious as they are regressing minor architectures. Core fixes: - Defer GPIO device setup until after gpiolib is initialized. It turns out that a few very tightly integrated GPIO platform drivers initialize so early (befor core_initcall()) so that the gpiolib isn't even initialized itself. That limits what the library can do, and we cannot reference uninitialized fields until later. Defer some of the initialization until right after the gpiolib is initialized in these (rare) cases. - As a consequence: do not use devm_* resources when allocating the states in the initial set-up of the gpiochip. Driver fixes: - In ACPI retrieveal: ignore GpioInt when looking for output GPIOs. - Fix legacy builds on the PXA without a backing pin controller. - Use correct datatype on pca953x register writes" * tag 'gpio-v4.6-3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/linusw/linux-gpio: gpio: pca953x: Use correct u16 value for register word write gpiolib: Defer gpio device setup until after gpiolib initialization gpiolib: Do not use devm functions when registering gpio chip gpio: pxa: fix legacy non pinctrl aware builds gpio / ACPI: ignore GpioInt() GPIOs when requesting GPIO_OUT_*

One was due to a merge error in 4.6-rc1, and the other a regression fix for UML consoles that broke in 4.6-rc1. Both have been in linux-next for a while" * tag 'tty-4.6-rc3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/tty: tty: Fix merge of "tty: Refactor tty_open()" tty: Fix UML console breakage
