2017-09-04Merge branch 'perf-core-for-linus' of ↵Linus Torvalds1-1/+12
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip Pull perf updates from Ingo Molnar: "Kernel side changes: - Add branch type profiling/tracing support. (Jin Yao) - Add the PERF_SAMPLE_PHYS_ADDR ABI to allow the tracing/profiling of physical memory addresses, where the PMU supports it. (Kan Liang) - Export some PMU capability details in the new /sys/bus/event_source/devices/cpu/caps/ sysfs directory. (Andi Kleen) - Aux data fixes and updates (Will Deacon) - kprobes fixes and updates (Masami Hiramatsu) - AMD uncore PMU driver fixes and updates (Janakarajan Natarajan) On the tooling side, here's a (limited!) list of highlights - there were many other changes that I could not list, see the shortlog and git history for details: UI improvements: - Implement a visual marker for fused x86 instructions in the annotate TUI browser, available now in 'perf report', more work needed to have it available as well in 'perf top' (Jin Yao) Further explanation from one of Jin's patches: │ ┌──cmpl $0x0,argp_program_version_hook 81.93 │ ├──je 20 │ │ lock cmpxchg %esi,0x38a9a4(%rip) │ │↓ jne 29 │ │↓ jmp 43 11.47 │20:└─→cmpxch %esi,0x38a999(%rip) That means the cmpl+je is a fused instruction pair and they should be considered together. - Record the branch type and then show statistics and info about in callchain entries (Jin Yao) Example from one of Jin's patches: # perf record -g -j any,save_type # perf report --branch-history --stdio --no-children 38.50% div.c:45 [.] main div | ---main div.c:42 (RET CROSS_2M cycles:2) compute_flag div.c:28 (cycles:2) compute_flag div.c:27 (RET CROSS_2M cycles:1) rand rand.c:28 (cycles:1) rand rand.c:28 (RET CROSS_2M cycles:1) __random random.c:298 (cycles:1) __random random.c:297 (COND_BWD CROSS_2M cycles:1) __random random.c:295 (cycles:1) __random random.c:295 (COND_BWD CROSS_2M cycles:1) __random random.c:295 (cycles:1) __random random.c:295 (RET CROSS_2M cycles:9) namespaces support: - Add initial support for namespaces, using setns to access files in namespaces, grabbing their build-ids, etc. (Krister Johansen) perf trace enhancements: - Beautify pkey_{alloc,free,mprotect} arguments in 'perf trace' (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo) - Add initial 'clone' syscall args beautifier in 'perf trace' (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo) - Ignore 'fd' and 'offset' args for MAP_ANONYMOUS in 'perf trace' (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo) - Beautifiers for the 'cmd' arg of several ioctl types, including: sound, DRM, KVM, vhost virtio and perf_events. (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo) - Add PERF_SAMPLE_CALLCHAIN and PERF_RECORD_MMAP[2] to 'perf data' CTF conversion, allowing CTF trace visualization tools to show callchains and to resolve symbols (Geneviève Bastien) - Beautify the fcntl syscall, which is an interesting one in the sense that infrastructure had to be put in place to change the formatters of some arguments according to the value in a previous one, i.e. cmd dictates how arg and the syscall return will be formatted. (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo perf stat enhancements: - Use group read for event groups in 'perf stat', reducing overhead when groups are defined in the event specification, i.e. when using {} to enclose a list of events, asking them to be read at the same time, e.g.: "perf stat -e '{cycles,instructions}'" (Jiri Olsa) pipe mode improvements: - Process tracing data in 'perf annotate' pipe mode (David Carrillo-Cisneros) - Add header record types to pipe-mode, now this command: $ perf record -o - -e cycles sleep 1 | perf report --stdio --header Will show the same as in non-pipe mode, i.e. involving a perf.data file (David Carrillo-Cisneros) Vendor specific hardware event support updates/enhancements: - Update POWER9 vendor events tables (Sukadev Bhattiprolu) - Add POWER9 PMU events Sukadev (Bhattiprolu) - Support additional POWER8+ PVR in PMU mapfile (Shriya) - Add Skylake server uncore JSON vendor events (Andi Kleen) - Support exporting Intel PT data to sqlite3 with python perf scripts, this is in addition to the postgresql support that was already there (Adrian Hunter)" * 'perf-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (253 commits) perf symbols: Fix plt entry calculation for ARM and AARCH64 perf probe: Fix kprobe blacklist checking condition perf/x86: Fix caps/ for !Intel perf/core, x86: Add PERF_SAMPLE_PHYS_ADDR perf/core, pt, bts: Get rid of itrace_started perf trace beauty: Beautify pkey_{alloc,free,mprotect} arguments tools headers: Sync cpu features kernel ABI headers with tooling headers perf tools: Pass full path of FEATURES_DUMP perf tools: Robustify detection of clang binary tools lib: Allow external definition of CC, AR and LD perf tools: Allow external definition of flex and bison binary names tools build tests: Don't hardcode gcc name perf report: Group stat values on global event id perf values: Zero value buffers perf values: Fix allocation check perf values: Fix thread index bug perf report: Add dump_read function perf record: Set read_format for inherit_stat perf c2c: Fix remote HITM detection for Skylake perf tools: Fix static build with newer toolchains ...

2017-09-04Merge tag 'for-linus-ioctl' of ↵Linus Torvalds1-0/+64
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dledford/rdma Pull rdma updates from Doug Ledford: "This is a big pull request. Of note is that I'm sending you the new ioctl API for the rdma subsystem. We put it up on linux-api@, but didn't get much response. The API is complex, but it solves two different problems in one go: 1) The bi-directional nature of the RDMA file write calls, which created the security hole we had to handle (and for which the fix is now causing problems for systems in production, we were a bit over zealous in the fix and the ability to open a device, then fork, then create new queue pairs on the device and use them is broken). 2) The bloat caused by different vendors implementing extensions to the base verbs API. Each vendor's hardware is slightly different, and the hardware might be suitable for one extension but not another. By the time we add generic extensions for all the different ways that the different hardware can offload things, the API becomes bloated. Things like our completion structs have started to exceed a cache line in size because of all the elements needed to support this. That in turn shows up heavily in the performance graphs with a noticable drop in performance on 100Gigabit links as our completion structs go from occupying one cache line to 1+. This API makes things like the completion structs modular in a very similar way to netlink so that your structs can only include the items needed for the offloads/features you are actually using on a given queue pair. In that way we support everything, but only use what we need, and our structs stay smaller. The ioctl API is better explained by the posting on linux-api@ than I can explain it here, so I'll just leave it at that. The rest of the pull request is typical stuff.

I'm sending this early, as my continuing journey into fatherhood is occurring really soon now, I'm going to be mostly useless for the next couple of weeks, though I may be able to read email, I doubt I'll be doing much patch applications or git sending.

2017-08-31Documentation/sphinx: fix kernel-doc decode for non-utf-8 localeJani Nikula1-5/+3
On python3, Popen() universal_newlines=True converts the subprocess stdout to unicode text using a codec based on user preferences. Given LANG indicating ascii and utf-8 stdout from the subprocess, you'd get: WARNING: kernel-doc '../scripts/kernel-doc -rst -enable-lineno ../drivers/media/dvb-core/demux.h' processing failed with: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xe2 in position 6368: ordinal not in range(128) Fix this by dropping universal_newlines=True and replacing the implicit LANG specific decode with an explicit utf-8 decode. This also gets rid of the annoying conditional code for python 2 vs. 3.

Updating it to a meaningful state. BTW, as 'Steven Rostedt' mentioned: There is still technically a "Pending Owner", it's just not called that anymore.

2017-08-24docs-rst: pdf: use same vertical margin on all Sphinx versionsMauro Carvalho Chehab1-1/+1
Currently, on Sphinx up to version 1.4, pdf output uses a vertical margin of 1 inch. For upper versions, it uses a margin of 0.5 inches. That causes both page headers and footers to be very close to the margin of the sheet. Not all printers support writing like that. Also, there's no reason why the layout for newer versions would be different than for previous ones. So, standardize it, by always setting to 1 inch.
