Pull perf changes from Ingo Molnar:
"There are lots of improvements, the biggest changes are:Main kernel side changes:
- Improve uprobes performance by adding 'pre-filtering' support, by
Oleg Nesterov.- Make some POWER7 events available in sysfs, equivalent to what was
done on x86, from Sukadev Bhattiprolu.- tracing updates by Steve Rostedt - mostly misc fixes and smaller
improvements.- Use perf/event tracing to report PCI Express advanced errors, by
Tony Luck.- Enable northbridge performance counters on AMD family 15h, by Jacob
Shin.- This tracing commit:
tracing: Remove the extra 4 bytes of padding in events
changes the ABI. All involved parties (PowerTop in particular)
seem to agree that it's safe to do now with the introduction of
libtraceevent, but the devil is in the details ...Main tooling side changes:
- Add 'event group view', from Namyung Kim:
To use it, 'perf record' should group events when recording. And
then perf report parses the saved group relation from file header
and prints them together if --group option is provided. You can
use the 'perf evlist' command to see event group information:$ perf record -e '{ref-cycles,cycles}' noploop 1
[ perf record: Woken up 2 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.385 MB perf.data (~16807 samples) ]$ perf evlist --group
{ref-cycles,cycles}With this example, default perf report will show you each event
separately.You can use --group option to enable event group view:
$ perf report --group
...
# group: {ref-cycles,cycles}
# ========
# Samples: 7K of event 'anon group { ref-cycles, cycles }'
# Event count (approx.): 6876107743
#
# Overhead Command Shared Object Symbol
# ................ ....... ................. ..........................

and cycles and header line shows group information also - 'anon
group { ref-cycles, cycles }'. The output is sorted by period of
group leader first.- Initial GTK+ annotate browser, from Namhyung Kim.
- Add option for runtime switching perf data file in perf report,
just press 's' and a menu with the valid files found in the current
directory will be presented, from Feng Tang.- Add support to display whole group data for raw columns, from Jiri
Olsa.- Add per processor socket count aggregation in perf stat, from
Stephane Eranian.- Add interval printing in 'perf stat', from Stephane Eranian.
- 'perf test' improvements
- Add support for wildcards in tracepoint system name, from Jiri
Olsa.- Add anonymous huge page recognition, from Joshua Zhu.
- perf build-id cache now can show DSOs present in a perf.data file
that are not in the cache, to integrate with build-id servers being
put in place by organizations such as Fedora.- perf top now shares more of the evsel config/creation routines with
'record', paving the way for further integration like 'top'
snapshots, etc.- perf top now supports DWARF callchains.
- Fix mmap limitations on 32-bit, fix from David Miller.
- 'perf bench numa mem' NUMA performance measurement suite
- ... and lots of fixes, performance improvements, cleanups and other
improvements I failed to list - see the shortlog and git log for
details."* 'perf-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (270 commits)

The seccomp filters are currently built for the build host, not for the
machine that they are going to run on, but they are also built for with
the -m32 flag if the kernel is built for a 32 bit machine, both of which
seems rather odd.It broke allyesconfig on my machine, which is x86-64, but building for
32 bit ARM, with this error message:In file included from /usr/include/stdio.h:28:0,
from samples/seccomp/bpf-fancy.c:15:
/usr/include/features.h:324:26: fatal error: bits/predefs.h: No such file or directorybecause there are no 32 bit libc headers installed on this machine. We
should really be building all the samples for the target machine rather
than the build host, but since the infrastructure for that appears to be
missing right now, let's be a little bit smarter and not pass the '-m32'
flag to the HOSTCC when cross- compiling.Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann

The tracepoint sample code was used to teach developers how to
create their own tracepoints. But now the trace_events have been
added as a higher level that is used directly by developers today.Only the trace_event code should use the tracepoint interface
directly and no new tracepoints should be added.Besides, the example had a race condition with the use of the
->d_name.name dentry field, as pointed out by Al Viro.Best just to remove the code so it wont be used by other developers.

The LO_ARG define needs to consider endianness also for 32 bit builds.
The "bpf_fancy" test case didn't work on s390 in 32 bit and compat mode
because the LO_ARG define resulted in a BPF program which read the upper

Pull HID updates from Jiri Kosina:
"The list of changes worth pointing out explicitly:- We are getting 'UHID', which is a new framework for implementing HID
transport drivers in userspace (this is different from HIDRAW, which
is transport-independent and provides report parsing facilities;
uhid is for the other (transport) part of the pipeline).It's needed for (and currently being used by) Bluetooth-LowEnergy,
as its specification mandates things we don't want in the kernel.Written by David Herrmann.
- there have been quite a few bugs in runtime suspend/resume paths
(probably never reported to actually happen in the wild, but still).
Alan Stern fixed those.- a few other driver updates and fixes and random new device support."

This adds an example user-space program that emulates a 3 button mouse
with wheel. It detects keyboard presses and moves the mouse accordingly.It register a fake HID device to feed the raw HID reports into the kernel.

shows how to get the same behavior with uhid so you don't need HID parsers

This change fixes the compilation error triggered here for
i386 allmodconfig in linux-next:
http://kisskb.ellerman.id.au/kisskb/buildresult/6123842/Logic attempting to predict the host architecture has been
removed from the Makefile. Instead, the bpf-direct sample
should now compile on any architecture, but if the architecture
is not supported, it will compile a minimal main() function.This change also ensures the samples are not compiled when
there is no seccomp filter support.(Note, I wasn't able to reproduce the error locally, but
the existing approach was clearly flawed. This tweak
should resolve your issue and avoid other future weirdness.)Reported-by: Paul Gortmaker

Add an rpmsg driver sample, which demonstrates how to communicate with
an AMP-configured remote processor over the rpmsg bus.Note how once probed, the driver can immediately start sending messages
using the rpmsg_send() API, without having to worry about creating endpoints
or allocating rpmsg addresses: all that work is done by the rpmsg bus,
and the required information is already embedded in the rpmsg channel
that the driver is probed with.In this sample, the driver simply sends a "Hello World!" message to the remote
processor repeatedly.Designed with Brian Swetland .

The perf_event overflow handler does not receive any caller-derived
argument, so many callers need to resort to looking up the perf_event
in their local data structure. This is ugly and doesn't scale if a
single callback services many perf_events.Fix by adding a context parameter to perf_event_create_kernel_counter()
(and derived hardware breakpoints APIs) and storing it in the perf_event.
The field can be accessed from the callback as event->overflow_handler_context.
All callers are updated.Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity

The nmi parameter indicated if we could do wakeups from the current
context, if not, we would set some state and self-IPI and let the
resulting interrupt do the wakeup.For the various event classes:
- hardware: nmi=0; PMI is in fact an NMI or we run irq_work_run from
the PMI-tail (ARM etc.)
- tracepoint: nmi=0; since tracepoint could be from NMI context.
- software: nmi=[0,1]; some, like the schedule thing cannot
perform wakeups, and hence need 0.As one can see, there is very little nmi=1 usage, and the down-side of
not using it is that on some platforms some software events can have a
jiffy delay in wakeup (when arch_irq_work_raise isn't implemented).The up-side however is that we can remove the nmi parameter and save a
bunch of conditionals in fast paths.Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra

All file_operations should get a .llseek operation so we can make
nonseekable_open the default for future file operations without a
.llseek pointer.The three cases that we can automatically detect are no_llseek, seq_lseek
and default_llseek. For cases where we can we can automatically prove that
the file offset is always ignored, we use noop_llseek, which maintains
the current behavior of not returning an error from a seek.New drivers should normally not use noop_llseek but instead use no_llseek
and call nonseekable_open at open time. Existing drivers can be converted
to do the same when the maintainer knows for certain that no user code
relies on calling seek on the device file.The generated code is often incorrectly indented and right now contains
comments that clarify for each added line why a specific variant was
chosen. In the version that gets submitted upstream, the comments will
be gone and I will manually fix the indentation, because there does not
seem to be a way to do that using coccinelle.Some amount of new code is currently sitting in linux-next that should get
the same modifications, which I will do at the end of the merge window.Many thanks to Julia Lawall for helping me learn to write a semantic
patch that does all this.===== begin semantic patch =====

The kfifo_dma family of functions use sg_mark_end() on the last element in
their scatterlist. This forces use of a fresh scatterlist for each DMA
operation, which makes recycling a single scatterlist impossible.Change the behavior of the kfifo_dma functions to match the usage of the
dma_map_sg function. This means that users must respect the returned
nents value. The sample code is updated to reflect the change.This bug is trivial to cause: call kfifo_dma_in_prepare() such that it
prepares a scatterlist with a single entry comprising the whole fifo.
This is the case when you map the entirety of a newly created empty fifo.
This causes the setup_sgl() function to mark the first scatterlist entry
as the end of the chain, no matter what comes after it.Afterwards, add and remove some data from the fifo such that another call
to kfifo_dma_in_prepare() will create two scatterlist entries. It returns
nents=2. However, due to the previous sg_mark_end() call, sg_is_last()
will now return true for the first scatterlist element. This causes the
sample code to print a single scatterlist element when it should print
two.By removing the call to sg_mark_end(), we make the API as similar as
possible to the DMA mapping API. All users are required to respect the
returned nents.Signed-off-by: Ira W. Snyder

This patch adds data to be passed to tracepoint callbacks.
The created functions from DECLARE_TRACE() now need a mandatory data
parameter. For example:DECLARE_TRACE(mytracepoint, int value, value)
Will create the register function:
int register_trace_mytracepoint((void(*)(void *data, int value))probe,
void *data);As the first argument, all callbacks (probes) must take a (void *data)
parameter. So a callback for the above tracepoint will look like:void myprobe(void *data, int value)
{
}The callback may choose to ignore the data parameter.
This change allows callbacks to register a private data pointer along
with the function probe.void mycallback(void *data, int value);
register_trace_mytracepoint(mycallback, mydata);
Then the mycallback() will receive the "mydata" as the first parameter
before the args.A more detailed example:
DECLARE_TRACE(mytracepoint, TP_PROTO(int status), TP_ARGS(status));
/* In the C file */
DEFINE_TRACE(mytracepoint, TP_PROTO(int status), TP_ARGS(status));
[...]
trace_mytracepoint(status);
/* In a file registering this tracepoint */
int my_callback(void *data, int status)
{
struct my_struct my_data = data;
[...]
}[...]
my_data = kmalloc(sizeof(*my_data), GFP_KERNEL);
init_my_data(my_data);
register_trace_mytracepoint(my_callback, my_data);The same callback can also be registered to the same tracepoint as long
as the data registered is different. Note, the data must also be used
to unregister the callback:unregister_trace_mytracepoint(my_callback, my_data);
Because of the data parameter, tracepoints declared this way can not have
no args. That is:DECLARE_TRACE(mytracepoint, TP_PROTO(void), TP_ARGS());
will cause an error.
If no arguments are needed, a new macro can be used instead:
DECLARE_TRACE_NOARGS(mytracepoint);
Since there are no arguments, the proto and args fields are left out.
This is part of a series to make the tracepoint footprint smaller:
text data bss dec hex filename
4913961 1088356 861512 6863829 68bbd5 vmlinux.orig
4914025 1088868 861512 6864405 68be15 vmlinux.class
4918492 1084612 861512 6864616 68bee8 vmlinux.tracepointAgain, this patch also increases the size of the kernel, but
lays the ground work for decreasing it.v5: Fixed net/core/drop_monitor.c to handle these updates.
v4: Moved the DECLARE_TRACE() DECLARE_TRACE_NOARGS out of the
#ifdef CONFIG_TRACE_POINTS, since the two are the same in both
cases. The __DECLARE_TRACE() is what changes.
Thanks to Frederic Weisbecker for pointing this out.v3: Made all register_* functions require data to be passed and
all callbacks to take a void * parameter as its first argument.
This makes the calling functions comply with C standards.Also added more comments to the modifications of DECLARE_TRACE().
v2: Made the DECLARE_TRACE() have the ability to pass arguments
and added a new DECLARE_TRACE_NOARGS() for tracepoints that
do not need any arguments.Acked-by: Mathieu Desnoyers

…it slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
The script does the followings.
* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
doesn't seem to be any matching order.* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
file.The conversion was done in the following steps.
1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
files.2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
inclusions to around 150 files.3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
necessary.6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).* x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
* powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
* sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
* ia64 SMP allmodconfig
* s390 SMP allmodconfig
* alpha SMP allmodconfig
* um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
a separate patch and serve as bisection point.Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>

Constify struct sysfs_ops.
This is part of the ops structure constification
effort started by Arjan van de Ven et al.Benefits of this constification:
* prevents modification of data that is shared
(referenced) by many other structure instances
at runtime* detects/prevents accidental (but not intentional)
modification attempts on archs that enforce
read-only kernel data at runtime* potentially better optimized code as the compiler
can assume that the const data cannot be changed* the compiler/linker move const data into .rodata
and therefore exclude them from false sharingSigned-off-by: Emese Revfy

Add __percpu sparse annotations to hw_breakpoint.
These annotations are to make sparse consider percpu variables to be
in a different address space and warn if accessed without going
through percpu accessors. This patch doesn't affect normal builds.In kernel/hw_breakpoint.c, per_cpu(nr_task_bp_pinned, cpu)'s will
trigger spurious noderef related warnings from sparse. Changing it to
&per_cpu(nr_task_bp_pinned[0], cpu) will work around the problem but
deemed to ugly by the maintainer. Leave it alone until better
solution can be found.Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo
