Pull perf updates from Ingo Molnar:
"With over 300 commits it's been a busy cycle - with most of the work
concentrated on the tooling side (as it should).
The main kernel side enhancements were:
- Add per event callchain limit: Recently we introduced a sysctl to
tune the max-stack for all events for which callchains were
requested:
$ sysctl kernel.perf_event_max_stack
kernel.perf_event_max_stack = 127
Now this patch introduces a way to configure this per event, i.e.
this becomes possible:
$ perf record -e sched:*/max-stack=2/ -e block:*/max-stack=10/ -a
allowing finer tuning of how much buffer space callchains use.
This uses an u16 from the reserved space at the end, leaving
another u16 for future use.
There has been interest in even finer tuning, namely to control the
max stack for kernel and userspace callchains separately. Further
discussion is needed, we may for instance use the remaining u16 for
that and when it is present, assume that the sample_max_stack
introduced in this patch applies for the kernel, and the u16 left
is used for limiting the userspace callchain (Arnaldo Carvalho de
Melo)
- Optimize AUX event (hardware assisted side-band event) delivery
(Kan Liang)
- Rework Intel family name macro usage (this is partially x86 arch
work) (Dave Hansen)
- Refine and fix Intel LBR support (David Carrillo-Cisneros)
- Add support for Intel 'TopDown' events (Andi Kleen)
- Intel uncore PMU driver fixes and enhancements (Kan Liang)
- ... other misc changes.
Here's an incomplete list of the tooling enhancements (but there's
much more, see the shortlog and the git log for details):
- Support cross unwinding, i.e. collecting '--call-graph dwarf'
perf.data files in one machine and then doing analysis in another
machine of a different hardware architecture. This enables, for
instance, to do:
$ perf record -a --call-graph dwarf
on a x86-32 or aarch64 system and then do 'perf report' on it on a
x86_64 workstation (He Kuang)
- Allow reading from a backward ring buffer (one setup via
sys_perf_event_open() with perf_event_attr.write_backward = 1)
(Wang Nan)
- Finish merging initial SDT (Statically Defined Traces) support, see
cset comments for details about how it all works (Masami Hiramatsu)
- Support attaching eBPF programs to tracepoints (Wang Nan)
- Add demangling of symbols in programs written in the Rust language
(David Tolnay)
- Add support for tracepoints in the python binding, including an
example, that sets up and parses sched:sched_switch events,
tools/perf/python/tracepoint.py (Jiri Olsa)
- Introduce --stdio-color to set up the color output mode selection
in 'annotate' and 'report', allowing emit color escape sequences
when redirecting the output of these tools (Arnaldo Carvalho de
Melo)
- Add 'callindent' option to 'perf script -F', to indent the Intel PT
call stack, making this output more ftrace-like (Adrian Hunter,
Andi Kleen)
- Allow dumping the object files generated by llvm when processing
eBPF scriptlet events (Wang Nan)
- Add stackcollapse.py script to help generating flame graphs (Paolo
Bonzini)
- Add --ldlat option to 'perf mem' to specify load latency for loads
event (e.g. cpu/mem-loads/ ) (Jiri Olsa)
- Tooling support for Intel TopDown counters, recently added to the
kernel (Andi Kleen)"

Pull gfs2 updates from Bob Peterson:
"We've got ten patches this time, half of which are related to a
plethora of nasty outcomes when inodes are transitioned from the
unlinked state to the free state. Small file systems are particularly
vulnerable to these problems, and it can manifest as mainly hangs, but
also file system corruption. The patches have been tested for
literally many weeks, with a very gruelling test, so I have a high
level of confidence.
- Andreas Gruenbacher wrote a series of five patches for various
lockups during the transition of inodes from unlinked to free.
The main patch is titled "Fix gfs2_lookup_by_inum lock inversion"
and the other four are support and cleanup patches related to that.
- Ben Marzinski contributed two patches with regard to a recreatable
problem when gfs2 tries to write a page to a file that is being
truncated, resulting in a BUG() in gfs2_remove_from_journal.
Note that Ben had to export vfs function __block_write_full_page to
get this to work properly. It's been posted a long time and he
talked to various VFS people about it, and nobody seemed to mind.
- I contributed 3 patches:
o The first one fixes a memory corruptor: a race in which one
process can overwrite the gl_object pointer set by another
process, causing kernel panic and other symptoms.
o The second patch fixes another race that resulted in a
false-positive BUG_ON. This occurred when resource group
reservations were freed by one process while another process
was trying to grab a new reservation in the same resource
group.
o The third patch fixes a problem with doing journal replay when
the journals are not all the same size"

The memory controller has quite a bit of state that usually outlives the
cgroup and pins its CSS until said state disappears. At the same time
it imposes a 16-bit limit on the CSS ID space to economically store IDs
in the wild. Consequently, when we use cgroups to contain frequent but
small and short-lived jobs that leave behind some page cache, we quickly
run into the 64k limitations of outstanding CSSs. Creating a new cgroup
fails with -ENOSPC while there are only a few, or even no user-visible
cgroups in existence.
Although pinning CSSs past cgroup removal is common, there are only two
instances that actually need an ID after a cgroup is deleted: cache
shadow entries and swapout records.
Cache shadow entries reference the ID weakly and can deal with the CSS
having disappeared when it's looked up later. They pose no hurdle.
Swap-out records do need to pin the css to hierarchically attribute
swapins after the cgroup has been deleted; though the only pages that
remain swapped out after offlining are tmpfs/shmem pages. And those
references are under the user's control, so they are manageable.
This patch introduces a private 16-bit memcg ID and switches swap and
cache shadow entries over to using that. This ID can then be recycled
after offlining when the CSS remains pinned only by objects that don't
specifically need it.
This script demonstrates the problem by faulting one cache page in a new
cgroup and deleting it again:
set -e
mkdir -p pages
for x in `seq 128000`; do
[ $((x % 1000)) -eq 0 ] && echo $x
mkdir /cgroup/foo
echo $$ >/cgroup/foo/cgroup.procs
echo trex >pages/$x
echo $$ >/cgroup/cgroup.procs
rmdir /cgroup/foo
done
When run on an unpatched kernel, we eventually run out of possible IDs
even though there are no visible cgroups:
[root@ham ~]# ./cssidstress.sh
[...]
65000
mkdir: cannot create directory '/cgroup/foo': No space left on device
After this patch, the IDs get released upon cgroup destruction and the
cache and css objects get released once memory reclaim kicks in.

macsec can't cope with mtu frames which need vlan tag insertion, and
vlan device set the default mtu equal to the underlying dev's one.
By default vlan over macsec devices use invalid mtu, dropping
all the large packets.
This patch adds a netif helper to check if an upper vlan device
needs mtu reduction. The helper is used during vlan devices
initialization to set a valid default and during mtu updating to
forbid invalid, too bit, mtu values.
The helper currently only check if the lower dev is a macsec device,
if we get more users, we need to update only the helper (possibly
reserving an additional IFF bit).

The VM_BUG_ON_PAGE in page_move_anon_rmap() is more trouble than it's
worth: the syzkaller fuzzer hit it again. It's still wrong for some THP
cases, because linear_page_index() was never intended to apply to
addresses before the start of a vma.
That's easily fixed with a signed long cast inside linear_page_index();
and Dmitry has tested such a patch, to verify the false positive. But
why extend linear_page_index() just for this case? when the avoidance in
page_move_anon_rmap() has already grown ugly, and there's no reason for
the check at all (nothing else there is using address or index).
Remove address arg from page_move_anon_rmap(), remove VM_BUG_ON_PAGE,
remove CONFIG_DEBUG_VM PageTransHuge adjustment.
And one more thing: should the compound_head(page) be done inside or
outside page_move_anon_rmap()? It's usually pushed down to the lowest
level nowadays (and mm/memory.c shows no other explicit use of it), so I
think it's better done in page_move_anon_rmap() than by caller.

Vtime generic irqtime accounting has been removed but there are a few
remnants to clean up:
* The vtime_accounting_cpu_enabled() check in irq entry was only used
by CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_GEN. We can safely remove it.
* Without the vtime_accounting_cpu_enabled(), we no longer need to
have a vtime_common_account_irq_enter() indirect function.
* Move vtime_account_irq_enter() implementation under
CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_NATIVE which is the last user.
* The vtime_account_user() call was only used on irq entry for
CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_GEN. We can remove that too.

The CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_GEN irq time tracking code does not
appear to currently work right.
On CPUs without nohz_full=, only tick based irq time sampling is
done, which breaks down when dealing with a nohz_idle CPU.
On firewalls and similar systems, no ticks may happen on a CPU for a
while, and the irq time spent may never get accounted properly. This
can cause issues with capacity planning and power saving, which use
the CPU statistics as inputs in decision making.
Remove the VTIME_GEN vtime irq time code, and replace it with the
IRQ_TIME_ACCOUNTING code, when selected as a config option by the user.

Jonathan writes:
Third set of IIO new device support, features and cleanups for the 4.8 cycle.
New core features
- Selection of the clock source for IIO timestamps. This is done per device
as it makes little sense to have events in one timebase and data timestamped
on another. Biggest reason for this is that we currently use a clock
source which is non monotonic which can result in 'interesting' data sets.
(Includes export for get_monotonic_corse64 which Thomas Gleixner didn't mind
in an earlier version.)
- MAINTAINERS add the git tree to the list for IIO.
New device support + a kind of indirect staging graduation.
* Broadcom iproc-static-adc
- new driver
* mcp4531
- support for MCP454x, MCP456x, MCP464x and MCP466x potentiometers
* mpu6050
- support the IC20608 6 axis motion tracking device
* st-sensors
- support the lis3l02dq + drop the lis3l02dq driver from staging.
The general purpose driver is missing event support, but good to get
rid of this driver which was rather long in the tooth.
New driver features
* ak8975
- Add vid regulator support and refactor handling in general.
- Allow a delay after enabling regulators.
- Runtime and system PM.
* bmg160
- filter frequency control support.
* bmp280
- SPI device support.
- EOC interrupt support for the BMP085
- power management support.
- supply regulator support.
- reset gpio support
- dt bindings for reset gpio and regulators.
- of table to support device tree registration
* max1363
- Device tree bindings.
* mcp4531
- Device tree bindings.
* st-pressure
- temperature channels as part of triggered buffer (previously not due
probably to alignment issues - see below).
- lps22hb open drain interrupt support.
- lps22hb temperature channel support
Cleanups and reworkings.
* numerous ADC drivers
- ensure the iio_dev->dev.of_node is set to the parent dev.of_node so
as to allow client bindings to find the device.
* ak8975
- Fix incorrect handling of missing regulator
- make sure power is down and remove.
* bmp280
- read the calibration data only once as it doesn't change.
* isl29125
- Use a few macros to make code a touch more readable.
* mma8452
- fix a memory leak on error.
- drop an unecessary bit of return value handling.
* potentiometer kconfig
- typo fix.
* st-pressure
- drop some uninformative default assignments of elements of the channel
array structure (aids readability).
* st-sensors
- Harden interrupt handling considerably. These are actually all using
level interrupts, but at least two known boards have them wired to
edge only interrupt chips. Hence a slightly interesting bit of handling
is needed in which we first allow for the easy option (level triggered) and
secondly check the status registers before reenabling edge interrupts and
fall back to a tight loop in the thread until we successfully clear the
interrupt. No harm is done if we never succeed in doing so. It's an odd
patch that has been through a lot of revisions to reach a consensus on how
to handle what is basically broken hardware (which the previous defaults
allowed to kind of work).
- Fix alignment to defined storagebytes boundaries.
- Ensure alignment of power of 2 byte boundaries. This has always in theory
been part of the ABI of IIO, but we missed a few that snuck in that need
fixing. The effect was minor as they were only followed by timestamp
channels which were correctly aligned,
- Add some docs to explain the gain calculations.

Update
extcot://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/chanwoo/extcon.git
tags/extcon-next-for-4.8
n for 4.8
Detailed description for patchset:
1. Update the extcon-gpio.c driver
- Use PM wakeirq APIs and support to check the state of external connector
when wake-up from suspend state if the interrupt of external connector is
not used as wakeup source.
- Support for ACPI gpio interface
2. Remove deprecated extcon APIs using the legacy cable name
- The extcon framework handle the external connector only by unique id
instead of legacy cable name to prevent the problem.
- Removed functions
: extcon_get_cable_state()
: extcon_set_cable_state()
: extcon_register_interest()
: extcon_unregister_interest()
- It has the dependency on the axp288_charger.c driver.
So, this pull request includes the 'ib-extcon-powersupply-4.8'
immutable branch to protect the merge conflict.
3. Support the resource-managed function for extcon_register_notifier
- Add the devm_extcon_register/unregister_notifier() funticon to handle
the resource automatically by resource managed functions and split out
the resource-managed function from extcon core to seprate file(devres.c).
4. Supprot the suspend/resume for extcon-adc-jack.c driver
- Add the support the suspend/resume function to use extcon-adc-jack.c
as wakeup source.
5. Fix the minor issue
- Check the return value of find_cable_index_by_id()
- Move the struct extcon_cable to extcon core from header file
because it should be only handled on extcon core.
- Add the missing of_node_put() after calling of_parse_phandle()
to decrement the reference count.

Sockets can have a filter program attached that drops or trims
incoming packets based on the filter program return value.
Rose requires data packets to have at least ROSE_MIN_LEN bytes. It
verifies this on arrival in rose_route_frame and unconditionally pulls
the bytes in rose_recvmsg. The filter can trim packets to below this
value in-between, causing pull to fail, leaving the partial header at
the time of skb_copy_datagram_msg.
Place a lower bound on the size to which sk_filter may trim packets
by introducing sk_filter_trim_cap and call this for rose packets.

The EFI firmware on Macs contains a full-fledged network stack for
downloading OS X images from osrecovery.apple.com. Unfortunately
on Macs introduced 2011 and 2012, EFI brings up the Broadcom 4331
wireless card on every boot and leaves it enabled even after
ExitBootServices has been called. The card continues to assert its IRQ
line, causing spurious interrupts if the IRQ is shared. It also corrupts
memory by DMAing received packets, allowing for remote code execution
over the air. This only stops when a driver is loaded for the wireless
card, which may be never if the driver is not installed or blacklisted.
The issue seems to be constrained to the Broadcom 4331. Chris Milsted
has verified that the newer Broadcom 4360 built into the MacBookPro11,3
(2013/2014) does not exhibit this behaviour. The chances that Apple will
ever supply a firmware fix for the older machines appear to be zero.
The solution is to reset the card on boot by writing to a reset bit in
its mmio space. This must be done as an early quirk and not as a plain
vanilla PCI quirk to successfully combat memory corruption by DMAed
packets: Matthew Garrett found out in 2012 that the packets are written
to EfiBootServicesData memory (http://mjg59.dreamwidth.org/11235.html).
This type of memory is made available to the page allocator by
efi_free_boot_services(). Plain vanilla PCI quirks run much later, in
subsys initcall level. In-between a time window would be open for memory
corruption. Random crashes occurring in this time window and attributed
to DMAed packets have indeed been observed in the wild by Chris
Bainbridge.
When Matthew Garrett analyzed the memory corruption issue in 2012, he
sought to fix it with a grub quirk which transitions the card to D3hot:
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/grub.git/commit/?id=9d34bb85da56
This approach does not help users with other bootloaders and while it
may prevent DMAed packets, it does not cure the spurious interrupts
emanating from the card. Unfortunately the card's mmio space is
inaccessible in D3hot, so to reset it, we have to undo the effect of
Matthew's grub patch and transition the card back to D0.
Note that the quirk takes a few shortcuts to reduce the amount of code:
The size of BAR 0 and the location of the PM capability is identical
on all affected machines and therefore hardcoded. Only the address of
BAR 0 differs between models. Also, it is assumed that the BCMA core
currently mapped is the 802.11 core. The EFI driver seems to always take
care of this.
Michael Büsch, Bjorn Helgaas and Matt Fleming contributed feedback
towards finding the best solution to this problem.
The following should be a comprehensive list of affected models:
iMac13,1 2012 21.5" [Root Port 00:1c.3 = 8086:1e16]
iMac13,2 2012 27" [Root Port 00:1c.3 = 8086:1e16]
Macmini5,1 2011 i5 2.3 GHz [Root Port 00:1c.1 = 8086:1c12]
Macmini5,2 2011 i5 2.5 GHz [Root Port 00:1c.1 = 8086:1c12]
Macmini5,3 2011 i7 2.0 GHz [Root Port 00:1c.1 = 8086:1c12]
Macmini6,1 2012 i5 2.5 GHz [Root Port 00:1c.1 = 8086:1e12]
Macmini6,2 2012 i7 2.3 GHz [Root Port 00:1c.1 = 8086:1e12]
MacBookPro8,1 2011 13" [Root Port 00:1c.1 = 8086:1c12]
MacBookPro8,2 2011 15" [Root Port 00:1c.1 = 8086:1c12]
MacBookPro8,3 2011 17" [Root Port 00:1c.1 = 8086:1c12]
MacBookPro9,1 2012 15" [Root Port 00:1c.1 = 8086:1e12]
MacBookPro9,2 2012 13" [Root Port 00:1c.1 = 8086:1e12]
MacBookPro10,1 2012 15" [Root Port 00:1c.1 = 8086:1e12]
MacBookPro10,2 2012 13" [Root Port 00:1c.1 = 8086:1e12]

Thanks to all the work that was done by Andy Lutomirski and others,
enter_from_user_mode() and prepare_exit_to_usermode() are now called only with
interrupts disabled. Let's provide them a version of user_enter()/user_exit()
that skips saving and restoring the interrupt flag.
On an AMD-based machine I tested this patch on, with force-enabled
context tracking, the speed-up in system calls was 90 clock cycles or 6%,
measured with the following simple benchmark:
#include <sys/signal.h>
#include <time.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <stdio.h>
unsigned long rdtsc()
{
unsigned long result;
asm volatile("rdtsc; shl $32, %%rdx; mov %%eax, %%eax\n"
"or %%rdx, %%rax" : "=a" (result) : : "rdx");
return result;
}
int main()
{
unsigned long tsc1, tsc2;
int pid = getpid();
int i;
tsc1 = rdtsc();
for (i = 0; i < 100000000; i++)
kill(pid, SIGWINCH);
tsc2 = rdtsc();
printf("%ld\n", tsc2 - tsc1);
}

Re-organize the GUID table so that every GUID takes a single line.
This makes each line super long, but if you have a large enough terminal
(or zoom out of a small terminal) then you can see the structure at

multi-line layout.

Add possibility for 32-bit user-space applications to move
the vDSO mapping.
Previously, when a user-space app called mremap() for the vDSO
address, in the syscall return path it would land on the previous
address of the vDSOpage, resulting in segmentation violation.
Now it lands fine and returns to userspace with a remapped vDSO.
This will also fix the context.vdso pointer for 64-bit, which does
not affect the user of vDSO after mremap() currently, but this
may change in the future.
As suggested by Andy, return -EINVAL for mremap() that would
split the vDSO image: that operation cannot possibly result in
a working system so reject it.
Renamed and moved the text_mapping structure declaration inside
map_vdso(), as it used only there and now it complements the
vvar_mapping variable.
There is still a problem for remapping the vDSO in glibc
applications: the linker relocates addresses for syscalls
on the vDSO page, so you need to relink with the new
addresses.
Without that the next syscall through glibc may fail:
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
#0 0xf7fd9b80 in __kernel_vsyscall ()
#1 0xf7ec8238 in _exit () from /usr/lib32/libc.so.6

The current timer wheel has some drawbacks:
1) Cascading:
Cascading can be an unbound operation and is completely pointless in most
cases because the vast majority of the timer wheel timers are canceled or
rearmed before expiration. (They are used as timeout safeguards, not as
real timers to measure time.)
2) No fast lookup of the next expiring timer:
In NOHZ scenarios the first timer soft interrupt after a long NOHZ period
must fast forward the base time to the current value of jiffies. As we
have no way to find the next expiring timer fast, the code loops linearly
and increments the base time one by one and checks for expired timers
in each step. This causes unbound overhead spikes exactly in the moment
when we should wake up as fast as possible.
After a thorough analysis of real world data gathered on laptops,
workstations, webservers and other machines (thanks Chris!) I came to the
conclusion that the current 'classic' timer wheel implementation can be
modified to address the above issues.
The vast majority of timer wheel timers is canceled or rearmed before
expiry. Most of them are timeouts for networking and other I/O tasks. The
nature of timeouts is to catch the exception from normal operation (TCP ack
timed out, disk does not respond, etc.). For these kinds of timeouts the
accuracy of the timeout is not really a concern. Timeouts are very often
approximate worst-case values and in case the timeout fires, we already
waited for a long time and performance is down the drain already.
The few timers which actually expire can be split into two categories:
1) Short expiry times which expect halfways accurate expiry
2) Long term expiry times are inaccurate today already due to the
batching which is done for NOHZ automatically and also via the
set_timer_slack() API.
So for long term expiry timers we can avoid the cascading property and just
leave them in the less granular outer wheels until expiry or
cancelation. Timers which are armed with a timeout larger than the wheel
capacity are no longer cascaded. We expire them with the longest possible
timeout (6+ days). We have not observed such timeouts in our data collection,
but at least we handle them, applying the rule of the least surprise.
To avoid extending the wheel levels for HZ=1000 so we can accomodate the
longest observed timeouts (5 days in the network conntrack code) we reduce the
first level granularity on HZ=1000 to 4ms, which effectively is the same as
the HZ=250 behaviour. From our data analysis there is nothing which relies on
that 1ms granularity and as a side effect we get better batching and timer
locality for the networking code as well.
Contrary to the classic wheel the granularity of the next wheel is not the
capacity of the first wheel. The granularities of the wheels are in the
currently chosen setting 8 times the granularity of the previous wheel.
So for HZ=250 we end up with the following granularity levels:
Level Offset Granularity Range
0 0 4 ms 0 ms - 252 ms
1 64 32 ms 256 ms - 2044 ms (256ms - ~2s)
2 128 256 ms 2048 ms - 16380 ms (~2s - ~16s)
3 192 2048 ms (~2s) 16384 ms - 131068 ms (~16s - ~2m)
4 256 16384 ms (~16s) 131072 ms - 1048572 ms (~2m - ~17m)
5 320 131072 ms (~2m) 1048576 ms - 8388604 ms (~17m - ~2h)
6 384 1048576 ms (~17m) 8388608 ms - 67108863 ms (~2h - ~18h)
7 448 8388608 ms (~2h) 67108864 ms - 536870911 ms (~18h - ~6d)
That's a worst case inaccuracy of 12.5% for the timers which are queued at the
beginning of a level.
So the new wheel concept addresses the old issues:
1) Cascading is avoided completely
2) By keeping the timers in the bucket until expiry/cancelation we can track
the buckets which have timers enqueued in a bucket bitmap and therefore can
look up the next expiring timer very fast and O(1).
A further benefit of the concept is that the slack calculation which is done
on every timer start is no longer necessary because the granularity levels
provide natural batching already.
Our extensive testing with various loads did not show any performance
degradation vs. the current wheel implementation.
This patch does not address the 'fast lookup' issue as we wanted to make sure
that there is no regression introduced by the wheel redesign. The
optimizations are in follow up patches.
This patch contains fixes from Anna-Maria Gleixner and Richard Cochran.
