Valgrind found that extracted labels that are passed from the lexer
weren't freed upon exit. Therefore, add a small helper function that
walks label tables and frees them. Since also NULL can be passed to
free(3), we do not need to take care of that here. While at it, fix
up a spacing error in bpf_set_curr_label().Signed-off-by: Daniel Borkmann

We must not leave the socket intact in bpf_runnable(). The socket
is used to test if the filter code is being accepted by the kernel
or not. So right after we do the setsockopt(2), we need to close
it again.Signed-off-by: Daniel Borkmann

If a user calls 'cpupower set --perf-bias 15', the process will end with
a SIGSEGV in libc because cpupower-set passes a NULL optarg to the atoi
call. This is because the getopt_long structure currently has all of
the options as having an optional_argument when they really have a
required argument. We change the structure to use required_argument to
match the short options and it resolves the issue.This fixes https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1000439

There are a couple of valid use cases for a minimal low-level bpf asm
like tool, for example, using/linking to libpcap is not an option, the
required BPF filters use Linux extensions that are not supported by
libpcap's compiler, a filter might be more complex and not cleanly
implementable with libpcap's compiler, particular filter codes should
be optimized differently than libpcap's internal BPF compiler does,
or for security audits of emitted BPF JIT code for prepared set of BPF
instructions resp. BPF JIT compiler development in general.Then, in such cases writing such a filter in low-level syntax can be
an good alternative, for example, xt_bpf and cls_bpf users might have
requirements that could result in more complex filter code, or one that
cannot be expressed with libpcap (e.g. different return codes in
cls_bpf for flowids on various BPF code paths).Moreover, BPF JIT implementors may wish to manually write test cases
in order to verify the resulting JIT image, and thus need low-level
access to BPF code generation as well. Therefore, complete the available
toolchain for BPF with this small bpf_asm helper tool for the tools/net/
directory. These 3 complementary minimal helper tools round up and
facilitate BPF development.Signed-off-by: Daniel Borkmann

This patch adds a minimal BPF debugger that "emulates" the kernel's
BPF engine (w/o extensions) and allows for single stepping (forwards
and backwards through BPF code) or running with >=1 breakpoints through
selected or all packets from a pcap file with a provided user filter
in order to facilitate verification of a BPF program. When a breakpoint
is being hit, it dumps all register contents, decoded instructions and
in case of branches both decoded branch targets as well as other useful
information.Having this facility is in particular useful to verify BPF programs
against given test traffic *before* attaching to a live system.With the general availability of cls_bpf, xt_bpf, socket filters,
team driver and e.g. PTP code, all BPF users, quite often a single
more complex BPF program is being used. Reasons for a more complex
BPF program are primarily to optimize execution time for making a
verdict when multiple simple BPF programs are combined into one in
order to prevent parsing same headers multiple times. In particular,
for cls_bpf that can have various return paths for encoding flowids,
and xt_bpf to come to a fw verdict this can be the case.Therefore, as this can result in more complex and harder to debug
code, it would be very useful to have this minimal tool for testing
purposes. It can also be of help for BPF JIT developers as filters
are "test attached" to the kernel on a temporary socket thus
triggering a JIT image dump when enabled. The tool uses an interactive
libreadline shell with auto-completion and history support.Signed-off-by: Daniel Borkmann

I'm not including a revert that Sarah requested, because that breaks a

without reintroducing other bugs that it fixed. So as it is,

When introducing the PERF_RECORD_MMAP2 in:
5c5e854bc760 perf tools: Add attr->mmap2 support
A check for the number of entries parsed by sscanf was introduced that
assumed all of the 8 fields needed to be correctly parsed so that
particular /proc/pid/maps line would be considered synthesizable.That broke anon records synthesizing, as it doesn't have the 'execname'
field.Fix it by keeping the sscanf return check, changing it to not require
that the 'execname' variable be parsed, so that the preexisting logic
can kick in and set it to '//anon'.This should get things like JIT profiling working again.

Pull thermal management updates from Zhang Rui:
"This time we only have a few changes as there are no soc thermal
changes from Eduardo. The only big change is the introduction of
TMON, a tool to help visualize, tune, and test the thermal subsystem.
The rest is mostly cleanups and fixes all over.Specifics:
- introduce TMON, a tool base on thermal sysfs I/F. It can be used
to visualize, tune and test the thermal subsystem.- fix a zone/cooling device binding problem, when both thermal zone
bind parameters and .bind() callback are available"* 'next' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rzhang/linux:

Pull ARM updates from Russell King:
"Included in this series are:1. BE8 (modern big endian) changes for ARM from Ben Dooks
2. big.Little support from Nicolas Pitre and Dave Martin
3. support for LPAE systems with all system memory above 4GB
4. Perf updates from Will Deacon
5. Additional prefetching and other performance improvements from Will.
6. Neon-optimised AES implementation fro Ard.
7. A number of smaller fixes scattered around the place.There is a rather horrid merge conflict in tools/perf - I was never
notified of the conflict because it originally occurred between Will's
tree and other stuff. Consequently I have a resolution which Will
forwarded me, which I'll forward on immediately after sending this
mail.The other notable thing is I'm expecting some build breakage in the
crypto stuff on ARM only with Ard's AES patches. These were merged
into a stable git branch which others had already pulled, so there's
little I can do about this. The problem is caused because these
patches have a dependency on some code in the crypto git tree - I
tried requesting a branch I can pull to resolve these, and all I got
each time from the crypto people was "we'll revert our patches then"
which would only make things worse since I still don't have the
dependent patches. I've no idea what's going on there or how to
resolve that, and since I can't split these patches from the rest of
this pull request, I'm rather stuck with pushing this as-is or
reverting Ard's patches.Since it should "come out in the wash" I've left them in - the only
build problems they seem to cause at the moment are with randconfigs,
and since it's a new feature anyway. However, if by -rc1 the
dependencies aren't in, I think it'd be best to revert Ard's patches"I resolved the perf conflict roughly as per the patch sent by Russell,
but there may be some differences. Any errors are likely mine. Let's
see how the crypto issues work out..* 'for-linus' of git://git.linaro.org/people/rmk/linux-arm: (110 commits)

Soft dirty bit allows us to track which pages are written since the last
clear_ref (by "echo 4 > /proc/pid/clear_refs".) This is useful for
userspace applications to know their memory footprints.Note that the kernel exposes this flag via bit[55] of /proc/pid/pagemap,
and the semantics is not a default one (scheduled to be the default in the
near future.) However, it shifts to the new semantics at the first
clear_ref, and the users of soft dirty bit always do it before utilizing
the bit, so that's not a big deal. Users must avoid relying on the bit in
page-types before the first clear_ref.Signed-off-by: Naoya Horiguchi

is named the "Intel Atom Processor Z3000 Series",
as well as various "Intel Pentium Processor"
and "Intel Celeron Processor" brands, depending
on form-factor.Silvermont has a set of MSRs not far off from NHM,

Jiri Olsa was writing a plugin for the cfg80211_tx_mlme_mgmt trace
event, and was not able to get the implemented function working.
The event's print fmt looks like:"netdev:%s(%d), ftype:0x%.2x", REC->name, REC->ifindex,
__le16_to_cpup((__le16 *)__get_dynamic_array(frame))As there's no helper function for __le16_to_cpup(), Jiri was creating one
with a plugin. But unfortunately, it would not work even though he set
up the plugin correctly.The problem is that the function parameters do not handle the helper
function "__get_dynamic_array()", and that passes in a NULL pointer.Adding PRINT_DYNAMIC_ARRAY direct support to eval_num_arg() allows the
use of __get_dynamic_array() in function parameters.Reported-by: Jiri Olsa
