Pull GPIO fixes from Linus Walleij:
"Here are a few GPIO fixes for v4.8.I was expecting some fallout from the new chardev rework but nothing
like that turned up att all. Instead a Kconfig confusion that I think
I have finally nailed, then some ordinary driver noise and trivia.This fixes a Kconfig issue with UM: when I made GPIOLIB available to
all archs, that included UM, but the OF part of GPIOLIB requires
HAS_IOMEM, so we add HAS_IOMEM as a dependency to OF_GPIO.This in turn exposed the fact that a few GPIO drivers were implicitly
assuming OF_GPIO as their dependency but instead depended on OF alone
(the typical problem being a pointer inside gpio_chip not existing
unless OF_GPIO is selected) and then UM would fail to compile with
these drivers instead. Then I lost patience and made any GPIO driver
depending on just OF depend on OF_GPIO instead, that is certainly what
they meant and the only thing that makes sense anyway. GPIO with just
OF but !OF_GPIO does not make sense.Also a fix for the max730x driver data pointer, and a minor comment
fix for the GPIO tools"* tag 'gpio-v4.8-2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/linusw/linux-gpio:

From the bugzilla report:
''In file /tools/perf/util/evsel.c function __perf_evsel__hw_cache_name
it appears that there is a bug that reads beyond the end of the buffer.
The statement "if (type > PERF_COUNT_HW_CACHE_MAX)" allows type to be
equal to the maximum value. Later, when statement "if
(!perf_evsel__is_cache_op_valid(type, op))" is executed, the function
can access array perf_evsel__hw_cache_stat[type] beyond the end of the
buffer.It appears to me that the statement "if (type > PERF_COUNT_HW_CACHE_MAX)"
should be "if (type >= PERF_COUNT_HW_CACHE_MAX)"Bug found with Coverity and manual code review. No attempts were made to
execute the code with a maximum type value.''Committer note:

This is after commit 61a6445e463a31 ("tools lib: Guard the strlcpy() header with

applications. So add that specific check to not trip for uClibc.Signed-off-by: Vineet Gupta

In order to successfully decode Intel PT traces, context switch events
are needed from the moment the trace starts. Currently that is ensured
by using the 'immediate' flag which enables the switch event when it is
opened.However, since commit 86c2786994bd ("perf intel-pt: Add support for
PERF_RECORD_SWITCH") that might not always happen. When tracing
system-wide the context switch event is added to the tracking event
which was not set as 'immediate'. Change that so it is.Signed-off-by: Adrian Hunter

Commit 73cdf0c6ea9c ("perf symbols: Record text offset in dso
to calculate objdump address") started storing the offset of
the text section for all DSOs:if (elf_section_by_name(elf, &ehdr, &tshdr, ".text", NULL))
dso->text_offset = tshdr.sh_addr - tshdr.sh_offset;Unfortunately this breaks debuginfo files, because we need to calculate
the offset of the text section in the associated executable file. As a
result perf annotate returns junk for all debuginfo files.Fix this by using runtime_ss->elf which should point at the executable
when parsing a debuginfo file.Signed-off-by: Anton Blanchard

- Fix for the nd_blk (NVDIMM Block Window Aperture) driver.
A spec clarification requires the driver to mask off reserved bits in

is interrupted with SIGTERM. Tagged for -stable since validation
efforts external to Intel use the unit tests for qualifying
backports.- Add a new 'size' sysfs attribute for the BTT (NVDIMM Block
Translation Table) driver to make it symmetric with the other
namespace personality drivers (PFN and DAX) that provide a size
attribute for indicating how much namespace capacity is lost to
metadata.The BTT change arrived at the start of the merge window and has
appeared in a -next release. It can technically wait for 4.9, but it
is small, fixes asymmetry in the libnvdimm-sysfs interface, and
something I would have squeezed into the v4.8 pull request had it
arrived a few days earlier.* 'libnvdimm-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm:

The June 2015 Intel SDM introduced IP Compression types 4 and 6. Refer
to section 36.4.2.2 Target IP (TIP) Packet - IP Compression.Existing Intel PT packet decoder did not support type 4, and got type 6
wrong. Because type 3 and type 4 have the same number of bytes, the
packet 'count' has been changed from being the number of ip bytes to
being the type code. That allows the Intel PT decoder to correctly
decide whether to sign-extend or use the last ip. However that also
meant the code had to be adjusted in a number of places.Currently hardware is not using the new compression types, so this fix
has no effect on existing hardware.Signed-off-by: Adrian Hunter

The unit tests crash when hotplug races the previous probe. This race
requires that the loading of the nfit_test module be terminated with
SIGTERM, and the module to be unloaded while the ars scan is still
running.In contrast to the normal nfit driver, the unit test calls
acpi_nfit_init() twice to simulate hotplug, whereas the nominal case
goes through the acpi_nfit_notify() event handler. The
acpi_nfit_notify() path is careful to flush the previous region
registration before servicing the hotplug event. The unit test was
missing this guarantee.BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at (null)

…/kernel/git/acme/linux into perf/urgent
Pull perf/urgent fixes from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:
User visible fixes:
- Fix the lookup for a kernel module in 'perf probe', fixing for instance, the
erroneous return of "[raid10]" when looking for "[raid1]" (Konstantin Khlebnikov)- Disable counters in a group before reading them in 'perf stat', to avoid skew (Mark Rutland)
- Fix adding probes to function aliases in systems using kaslr (Masami Hiramatsu)
- Trip libtraceevent trace_seq buffers, removing unnecessary memory usage that could
bring a system using tracepoint events with 'perf top' to a crawl, as the trace_seq
buffers start at a whooping 4 KB, which is very rarely used in perf's usecases,
so realloc it to the really used space as a last measure after using libtraceevent
functions to format the fields of tracepoint events (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)- Fix 'perf probe' location when using DWARF on ppc64le (Ravi Bangoria)
- Allow specifying signedness casts to a 'perf probe' variable, to shorten
the number of steps to see signed values that otherwise would always appear
as hex values (Naohiro Aota)Documentation fixes:
- Add 'bpf-output' field to 'perf script' usage message (Brendan Gregg)
Infrastructure fixes:
- Sync kernel header files: cpufeatures.h, {disabled,required}-features.h,
bpf.h and vmx.h, so that we get a clean build, without warnings about files
being different from the kernel counterparts.A verification of the need or desirability of changes in tools/ based on what
was done in the kernel changesets was made and documented in the respective
file sync changesets (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>

Powerpc has Global Entry Point and Local Entry Point for functions. LEP
catches call from both the GEP and the LEP. Symbol table of ELF contains
GEP and Offset from which we can calculate LEP, but debuginfo does not
have LEP info.Currently, perf prioritize symbol table over dwarf to probe on LEP for
ppc64le. But when user tries to probe with function parameter, we fall
back to using dwarf(i.e. GEP) and when function called via LEP, probe
will never hit.For example:
$ objdump -d vmlinux
...
do_sys_open():
c0000000002eb4a0: e8 00 4c 3c addis r2,r12,232
c0000000002eb4a4: 60 00 42 38 addi r2,r2,96
c0000000002eb4a8: a6 02 08 7c mflr r0
c0000000002eb4ac: d0 ff 41 fb std r26,-48(r1)$ sudo ./perf probe do_sys_open
$ sudo cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events
p:probe/do_sys_open _text+3060904$ sudo ./perf probe 'do_sys_open filename:string'
$ sudo cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events
p:probe/do_sys_open _text+3060896 filename_string=+0(%gpr4):stringFor second case, perf probed on GEP. So when function will be called via
LEP, probe won't hit.$ sudo ./perf record -a -e probe:do_sys_open ls
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.195 MB perf.data ]To resolve this issue, let's not prioritize symbol table, let perf
decide what it wants to use. Perf is already converting GEP to LEP when
it uses symbol table. When perf uses debuginfo, let it find LEP offset
form symbol table. This way we fall back to probe on LEP for all cases.After patch:
$ sudo ./perf probe 'do_sys_open filename:string'
$ sudo cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events
p:probe/do_sys_open _text+3060904 filename_string=+0(%gpr4):string$ sudo ./perf record -a -e probe:do_sys_open ls

The way we're using kernel headers in tools/ now, with a copy that is
made to the same path prefixed by "tools/" plus checking if that copy
got stale, i.e. if the kernel counterpart changed, helps in keeping
track with new features that may be useful for tools to exploit.For instance, looking at all the changes to bpf.h since it was last
copied to tools/include brings this to toolers' attention:Need to investigate this one to check how to run a program via perf, setting up
a BPF event, that will take advantage of the way perf already calls clang/LLVM,
sets up the event and runs the workload in a single command line, helping in
debugging such semi cooperative programs:96ae52279594 ("bpf: Add bpf_probe_write_user BPF helper to be called in tracers")
This one needs further investigation about using the feature it improves
in 'perf trace' to do some tcpdumpin' mixed with syscalls, tracepoints,
probe points, callgraphs, etc:555c8a8623a3 ("bpf: avoid stack copy and use skb ctx for event output")
Add tracing just packets that are related to some container to that mix:

The 'perf probe' tool detects a variable's type and use the detected
type to add a new probe. Then, kprobes prints its variable in
hexadecimal format if the variable is unsigned and prints in decimal if
it is signed.We sometimes want to see unsigned variable in decimal format (i.e.
sector_t or size_t). In that case, we need to investigate the variable's
size manually to specify just signedness.This patch add signedness casting support. By specifying "s" or "u" as a
type, perf-probe will investigate variable size as usual and use the
specified signedness.E.g. without this:
$ perf probe -a 'submit_bio bio->bi_iter.bi_sector'
Added new event:
probe:submit_bio (on submit_bio with bi_sector=bio->bi_iter.bi_sector)
You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:
perf record -e probe:submit_bio -aR sleep 1
$ cat trace_pipe|head

dbench-9692 [003] d..1 971.096687: submit_bio: (submit_bio+0x0/0x140) bi_sector=0x3a3d80
...
// need to investigate the variable size
$ perf probe -a 'submit_bio bio->bi_iter.bi_sector:s64'
Added new event:
probe:submit_bio (on submit_bio with bi_sector=bio->bi_iter.bi_sector:s64)
You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:
perf record -e probe:submit_bio -aR sleep 1With this:
// just use "s" to cast its signedness
$ perf probe -v -a 'submit_bio bio->bi_iter.bi_sector:s'
Added new event:
probe:submit_bio (on submit_bio with bi_sector=bio->bi_iter.bi_sector:s)
You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:
perf record -e probe:submit_bio -aR sleep 1

When we don't have a tracee (i.e. we're attaching to a task or CPU),
counters can still be running after our workload finishes, and can still
be running as we read their values. As we read events one-by-one, there
can be arbitrary skew between values of events, even within a group.
This means that ratios within an event group are not reliable.This skew can be seen if measuring a group of identical events, e.g:
# perf stat -a -C0 -e '{cycles,cycles}' sleep 1
To avoid this, we must stop groups from counting before we read the
values of any constituent events. This patch adds and makes use of a new
disable_counters() helper, which disables group leaders (and thus each
group as a whole). This mirrors the use of enable_counters() for
starting event groups in the absence of a tracee.Closing a group leader splits the group, and without a disabled group
leader the newly split events will begin counting. Thus to ensure counts
are reliable we must defer closing group leaders until all counts have
been read. To do so this patch removes the event closing logic from the
read_counters() helper, explicitly closes the events using
perf_evlist__close(), which also aids legibility.Signed-off-by: Mark Rutland
