2016-05-05perf/core: Introduce address range filteringAlexander Shishkin
Many instruction tracing PMUs out there support address range-based filtering, which would, for example, generate trace data only for a given range of instruction addresses, which is useful for tracing individual functions, modules or libraries. Other PMUs may also utilize this functionality to allow filtering to or filtering out code at certain address ranges. This patch introduces the interface for userspace to specify these filters and for the PMU drivers to apply these filters to hardware configuration. The user interface is an ASCII string that is passed via an ioctl() and specifies (in the form of an ASCII string) address ranges within certain object files or within kernel. There is no special treatment for kernel modules yet, but it might be a worthy pursuit. The PMU driver interface basically adds two extra callbacks to the PMU driver structure, one of which validates the filter configuration proposed by the user against what the hardware is actually capable of doing and the other one translates hardware-independent filter configuration into something that can be programmed into the hardware.

2016-05-05perf/core: Extend perf_event_aux_ctx() to optionally iterate through more eventsAlexander Shishkin
Trace filtering code needs an iterator that can go through all events in a context, including inactive and filtered, to be able to update their filters' address ranges based on mmap or exec events.

2016-05-05sched/fair: Generalize the load/util averages resolution definitionYuyang Du
Integer metric needs fixed point arithmetic. In sched/fair, a few metrics, e.g., weight, load, load_avg, util_avg, freq, and capacity, may have different fixed point ranges, which makes their update and usage error-prone. In order to avoid the errors relating to the fixed point range, we definie a basic fixed point range, and then formalize all metrics to base on the basic range. The basic range is 1024 or (1 << 10). Further, one can recursively apply the basic range to have larger range. Pointed out by Ben Segall, weight (visible to user, e.g., NICE-0 has 1024) and load (e.g., NICE_0_LOAD) have independent ranges, but they must be well calibrated.

2016-05-03tracing: Use temp buffer when filtering eventsSteven Rostedt (Red Hat)
Filtering of events requires the data to be written to the ring buffer before it can be decided to filter or not. This is because the parameters of the filter are based on the result that is written to the ring buffer and not on the parameters that are passed into the trace functions. The ftrace ring buffer is optimized for writing into the ring buffer and committing. The discard procedure used when filtering decides the event should be discarded is much more heavy weight. Thus, using a temporary filter when filtering events can speed things up drastically. Without a temp buffer we have: # trace-cmd start -p nop # perf stat -r 10 hackbench 50 0.790706626 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.71% ) # trace-cmd start -e all # perf stat -r 10 hackbench 50 1.566904059 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.27% ) # trace-cmd start -e all -f 'common_preempt_count==20' # perf stat -r 10 hackbench 50 1.690598511 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.19% ) # trace-cmd start -e all -f 'common_preempt_count!=20' # perf stat -r 10 hackbench 50 1.707486364 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.30% ) The first run above is without any tracing, just to get a based figure. hackbench takes ~0.79 seconds to run on the system. The second run enables tracing all events where nothing is filtered. This increases the time by 100% and hackbench takes 1.57 seconds to run. The third run filters all events where the preempt count will equal "20" (this should never happen) thus all events are discarded. This takes 1.69 seconds to run. This is 10% slower than just committing the events! The last run enables all events and filters where the filter will commit all events, and this takes 1.70 seconds to run. The filtering overhead is approximately 10%. Thus, the discard and commit of an event from the ring buffer may be about the same time. With this patch, the numbers change: # trace-cmd start -p nop # perf stat -r 10 hackbench 50 0.778233033 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.38% ) # trace-cmd start -e all # perf stat -r 10 hackbench 50 1.582102692 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.28% ) # trace-cmd start -e all -f 'common_preempt_count==20' # perf stat -r 10 hackbench 50 1.309230710 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.22% ) # trace-cmd start -e all -f 'common_preempt_count!=20' # perf stat -r 10 hackbench 50 1.786001924 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.20% ) The first run is again the base with no tracing. The second run is all tracing with no filtering. It is a little slower, but that may be well within the noise. The third run shows that discarding all events only took 1.3 seconds. This is a speed up of 23%! The discard is much faster than even the commit. The one downside is shown in the last run. Events that are not discarded by the filter will take longer to add, this is due to the extra copy of the event.

2016-05-03tracing: Don't display trigger file for events that can't be enabledChunyu Hu
Currently register functions for events will be called through the 'reg' field of event class directly without any check when seting up triggers. Triggers for events that don't support register through debug fs (events under events/ftrace are for trace-cmd to read event format, and most of them don't have a register function except events/ftrace/functionx) can't be enabled at all, and an oops will be hit when setting up trigger for those events, so just not creating them is an easy way to avoid the oops.

This patch implements the SS_AUTODISARM flag that can be OR-ed with SS_ONSTACK when forming ss_flags. When this flag is set, sigaltstack will be disabled when entering the signal handler; more precisely, after saving sas to uc_stack. When leaving the signal handler, the sigaltstack is restored by uc_stack. When this flag is used, it is safe to switch from sighandler with swapcontext(). Without this flag, the subsequent signal will corrupt the state of the switched-away sighandler. To detect the support of this functionality, one can do: err = sigaltstack(SS_DISABLE | SS_AUTODISARM); if (err && errno == EINVAL) unsupported(); Signed-off-by: Stas Sergeev <stsp@list.ru> Cc: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Cc: Aleksa Sarai <cyphar@cyphar.com> Cc: Amanieu d'Antras <amanieu@gmail.com> Cc: Andrea Arcangeli <aarcange@redhat.com> Cc: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Andy Lutomirski <luto@amacapital.net> Cc: Borislav Petkov <bp@alien8.de> Cc: Brian Gerst <brgerst@gmail.com> Cc: Denys Vlasenko <dvlasenk@redhat.com> Cc: Eric W.

2016-05-03signals/sigaltstack: Prepare to add new SS_xxx flagsStas Sergeev
This patch adds SS_FLAG_BITS - the mask that splits sigaltstack mode values and bit-flags. Since there is no bit-flags yet, the mask is defined to 0. The flags are added by subsequent patches. With every new flag, the mask should have the appropriate bit cleared. This makes sure if some flag is tried on a kernel that doesn't support it, the -EINVAL error will be returned, because such a flag will be treated as an invalid mode rather than the bit-flag. That way the existence of the particular features can be probed at run-time.

2016-05-02genirq: Allow the affinity of a percpu interrupt to be set/retrievedMarc Zyngier
In order to prepare the genirq layer for the concept of partitionned percpu interrupts, let's allow an affinity to be associated with such an interrupt. We introduce: - irq_set_percpu_devid_partition: flag an interrupt as a percpu-devid interrupt, and associate it with an affinity - irq_get_percpu_devid_partition: allow the affinity of that interrupt to be retrieved. This will allow a driver to discover which CPUs the per-cpu interrupt can actually fire on.

2016-05-02irqdomain: Allow domain matching on irq_fwspecMarc Zyngier
When iterating over the irq domain list, we try to match a domain either by calling a match() function or by comparing a number of fields passed as parameters. Both approaches are a bit restrictive: - match() is DT specific and only takes a device node - the fallback case only deals with the fwnode_handle It would be useful if we had a per-domain function that would actually perform the matching check on the whole of the irq_fwspec structure. This would allow for a domain to triage matching attempts that need to extend beyond the fwnode. Let's introduce irq_find_matching_fwspec(), which takes a full blown irq_fwspec structure, and call into a select() function implemented by the irqdomain. irq_find_matching_fwnode() is made a wrapper around irq_find_matching_fwspec in order to preserve compatibility.

2016-05-02genirq: Add error code reporting to irq_{reserve,destroy}_ipiMatt Redfearn
Make these functions return appropriate error codes when something goes wrong. Previously irq_destroy_ipi returned void making it impossible to notify the caller if the request could not be fulfilled. Patch 1 in the series added another condition in which this could fail in addition to the existing ones. irq_reserve_ipi returned an unsigned int meaning it could only return 0 on failure and give the caller no indication as to why the request failed. As time goes on there are likely to be further conditions added in which these functions can fail. These APIs and the IPI IRQ domain are new in 4.6 and the number of existing call sites are low, changing the API now has little impact on the code, while making it easier for these functions to grow over time.

2016-05-02genirq: Make irq_destroy_ipi take a cpumask of IPIs to destroyMatt Redfearn
Previously irq_destroy_ipi() would destroy IPIs to all CPUs that were configured by irq_reserve_ipi(). This change makes it possible to destroy just a subset of the IPIs. This may be useful to remove IPIs to CPUs that have been hot removed so that the IRQ numbers allocated within the IPI domain can be re-used. The original behaviour is restored by passing the complete mask that the IPI was created with. There are currently no users of this function that would break from the API change.

2016-04-30livepatch: make object/func-walking helpers more robustMiroslav Benes
Current object-walking helper checks the presence of obj->funcs to determine the end of objs array in klp_object structure. This is somewhat fragile because one can easily forget about funcs definition during livepatch creation. In such a case the livepatch module is successfully loaded and all objects after the incorrect one are omitted. This is very confusing. Let's make the helper more robust and check also for the other external member, name. Thus the helper correctly stops on an empty item of the array. We need to have a check for obj->funcs in klp_init_object() to make it work. The same applies to a func-walking helper. As a benefit we'll check for new_func member definition during the livepatch initialization. There is no such check anywhere in the code now.

2016-04-28kexec: export OFFSET(page.compound_head) to find out compound tail pageAtsushi Kumagai
PageAnon() always look at head page to check PAGE_MAPPING_ANON and tail page's page->mapping has just a poisoned data since commit 1c290f642101 ("mm: sanitize page->mapping for tail pages"). If makedumpfile checks page->mapping of a compound tail page to distinguish anonymous page as usual, it must fail in newer kernel. So it's necessary to export OFFSET(page.compound_head) to avoid checking compound tail pages. The problem is that unnecessary hugepages won't be removed from a dump file in kernels 4.5.x and later. This means that extra disk space would be consumed. It's a problem, but not critical. Signed-off-by: Atsushi Kumagai <ats-kumagai@wm.jp.nec.com> Acked-by: Dave Young <dyoung@redhat.com> Cc: "Eric W.

2016-04-28kexec: update VMCOREINFO for compound_order/dtorAtsushi Kumagai
makedumpfile refers page.lru.next to get the order of compound pages for page filtering. However, now the order is stored in page.compound_order, hence VMCOREINFO should be updated to export the offset of page.compound_order. The fact is, page.compound_order was introduced already in kernel 4.0, but the offset of it was the same as page.lru.next until kernel 4.3, so this was not actual problem. The above can be said also for page.lru.prev and page.compound_dtor, it's necessary to detect hugetlbfs pages. Further, the content was changed from direct address to the ID which means dtor. The problem is that unnecessary hugepages won't be removed from a dump file in kernels 4.4.x and later. This means that extra disk space would be consumed. It's a problem, but not critical.
