Pull ftrace fixes from Steven Rostedt:
"This holds a few fixes to the ftrace infrastructure as well as the
mixture of function graph tracing and kprobes.When jprobes and function graph tracing is enabled at the same time it
will crash the system:# modprobe jprobe_example
# echo function_graph > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/current_tracerAfter the first fork (jprobe_example probes it), the system will
crash.This is due to the way jprobes copies the stack frame and does not do
a normal function return. This messes up with the function graph
tracing accounting which hijacks the return address from the stack and
replaces it with a hook function. It saves the return addresses in a
separate stack to put back the correct return address when done. But
because the jprobe functions do not do a normal return, their stack
addresses are not put back until the function they probe is called,
which means that the probed function will get the return address of
the jprobe handler instead of its own.The simple fix here was to disable function graph tracing while the
jprobe handler is being called.While debugging this I found two minor bugs with the function graph
tracing.The first was about the function graph tracer sharing its function
hash with the function tracer (they both get filtered by the same
input). The changing of the set_ftrace_filter would not sync the
function recording records after a change if the function tracer was
disabled but the function graph tracer was enabled. This was due to
the update only checking one of the ops instead of the shared ops to
see if they were enabled and should perform the sync. This caused the
ftrace accounting to break and a ftrace_bug() would be triggered,
disabling ftrace until a reboot.The second was that the check to update records only checked one of
the filter hashes. It needs to test both the "filter" and "notrace"
hashes. The "filter" hash determines what functions to trace where as
the "notrace" hash determines what functions not to trace (trace all
but these). Both hashes need to be passed to the update code to find
out what change is being done during the update. This also broke the
ftrace record accounting and triggered a ftrace_bug().This patch set also include two more fixes that were reported
separately from the kprobe issue.One was that init_ftrace_syscalls() was called twice at boot up. This
is not a major bug, but that call performed a rather large kmalloc
(NR_syscalls * sizeof(*syscalls_metadata)). The second call made the
first one a memory leak, and wastes memory.The other fix is a regression caused by an update in the v3.19 merge
window. The moving to enable events early, moved the enabling before
PID 1 was created. The syscall events require setting the
TIF_SYSCALL_TRACEPOINT for all tasks. But for_each_process_thread()
does not include the swapper task (PID 0), and ended up being a nop.A suggested fix was to add the init_task() to have its flag set, but I
didn't really want to mess with PID 0 for this minor bug. Instead I
disable and re-enable events again at early_initcall() where it use to
be enabled. This also handles any other event that might have its own
reg function that could break at early boot up"* tag 'trace-fixes-v3.19-rc3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace:

This patch partially reverts commit 421520ba98290a73b35b7644e877a48f18e06004
(only the arm64 part). There is no guarantee that the boot-loader places other
images like dtb in a different page than initrd start/end, especially when the
kernel is built with 64KB pages. When this happens, such pages must not be
freed. The free_reserved_area() already takes care of rounding up "start" and
rounding down "end" to avoid freeing partially used pages.Cc: # 3.17+

If the function graph tracer traces a jprobe callback, the system will
crash. This can easily be demonstrated by compiling the jprobe
sample module that is in the kernel tree, loading it and running the
function graph tracer.# modprobe jprobe_example.ko
# echo function_graph > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/current_tracer
# lsThe first two commands end up in a nice crash after the first fork.
(do_fork has a jprobe attached to it, so "ls" just triggers that fork)The problem is caused by the jprobe_return() that all jprobe callbacks
must end with. The way jprobes works is that the function a jprobe
is attached to has a breakpoint placed at the start of it (or it uses
ftrace if fentry is supported). The breakpoint handler (or ftrace callback)
will copy the stack frame and change the ip address to return to the
jprobe handler instead of the function. The jprobe handler must end
with jprobe_return() which swaps the stack and does an int3 (breakpoint).
This breakpoint handler will then put back the saved stack frame,
simulate the instruction at the beginning of the function it added
a breakpoint to, and then continue on.For function tracing to work, it hijakes the return address from the
stack frame, and replaces it with a hook function that will trace
the end of the call. This hook function will restore the return
address of the function call.If the function tracer traces the jprobe handler, the hook function
for that handler will not be called, and its saved return address
will be used for the next function. This will result in a kernel crash.To solve this, pause function tracing before the jprobe handler is called
and unpause it before it returns back to the function it probed.Some other updates:
Used a variable "saved_sp" to hold kcb->jprobe_saved_sp. This makes the
code look a bit cleaner and easier to understand (various tries to fix
this bug required this change).Note, if fentry is being used, jprobes will change the ip address before
the function graph tracer runs and it will not be able to trace the
function that the jprobe is probing.Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20150114154329.552437962@goodmis.org

On i.MX28, the MDIO bus is shared between the two FEC instances.
The driver makes sure that the second FEC uses the MDIO bus of the
first FEC. This is done conditionally if FEC_QUIRK_ENET_MAC is set.
However, in newer designs, such as Vybrid or i.MX6SX, each FEC MAC
has its own MDIO bus. Simply removing the quirk FEC_QUIRK_ENET_MAC
is not an option since other logic, triggered by this quirk, is
still needed.Furthermore, there are board designs which use the same MDIO bus
for both PHY's even though the second bus would be available on the
SoC side. Such layout are popular since it saves pins on SoC side.
Due to the above quirk, those boards currently do work fine. The
boards in the mainline tree with such a layout are:
- Freescale Vybrid Tower with TWR-SER2 (vf610-twr.dts)
- Freescale i.MX6 SoloX SDB Board (imx6sx-sdb.dts)This patch adds a new quirk FEC_QUIRK_SINGLE_MDIO for i.MX28, which
makes sure that the MDIO bus of the first FEC is used in any case.However, the boards above do have a SoC with a MDIO bus for each FEC
instance. But the PHY's are not connected in a 1:1 configuration. A
proper device tree description is needed to allow the driver to
figure out where to find its PHY. This patch fixes that shortcoming
by adding a MDIO bus child node to the first FEC instance, along
with the two PHY's on that bus, and making use of the phy-handle
property to add a reference to the PHY's.Acked-by: Sascha Hauer

Using the native code here can't work properly, as the hypervisor would
normally have cleared the two reason bits by the time Dom0 gets to see
the NMI (if passed to it at all). There's a shared info field for this,
and there's an existing hook to use - just fit the two together. This
is particularly relevant so that NMIs intended to be handled by APEI /
GHES actually make it to the respective handler.Note that the hook can (and should) be used irrespective of whether
being in Dom0, as accessing port 0x61 in a DomU would be even worse,
while the shared info field would just hold zero all the time. Note
further that hardware NMI handling for PVH doesn't currently work
anyway due to missing code in the hypervisor (but it is expected to
work the native rather than the PV way).Signed-off-by: Jan Beulich

Commit b856a59141b1 (arm/arm64: KVM: Reset the HCR on each vcpu
when resetting the vcpu) moved the init of the HCR register to
happen later in the init of a vcpu, but left out the fixup
done in kvm_reset_vcpu when preparing for a 32bit guest.As a result, the 32bit guest is run as a 64bit guest, but the
rest of the kernel still manages it as a 32bit. Fun follows.Moving the fixup to vcpu_reset_hcr solves the problem for good.

In commit a3e5b356b3ab "powerpc: Don't use local named register variable
in current_thread_info" Anton changed the way we did current_thread_info()
to accommodate LLVM, and it was not meant to have any effect elsewhere.Unfortunately it has exposed a gcc bug, where r1 gets copied into
another register and then gcc uses that register to restore the toc
after a function call, even when that register is volatile and has been
clobbered by the function call.We could revert Anton's patch, but it's not clear the original code is
safe either, we may just have been lucky.The cleanest solution is to just use the existing CURRENT_THREAD_INFO()
asm macro, and call it using inline asm.Segher points out we don't need volatile on the asm, if the result of
the shift is unused it's fine for the compiler to elide it.Fixes: a3e5b356b3ab ("powerpc: Don't use local named register variable in current_thread_info")

Perf reports user regs for kernel-mode samples so that samples can
be backtraced through user code. The old code was very broken in
syscall context, resulting in useless backtraces.The new code, in contrast, is still dangerously racy, but it should
at least work most of the time.Tested-by: Jiri Olsa

On x86_64, at least, task_pt_regs may be only partially initialized
in many contexts, so x86_64 should not use it without extra care
from interrupt context, let alone NMI context.This will allow x86_64 to override the logic and will supply some
scratch space to use to make a cleaner copy of user regs.Tested-by: Jiri Olsa

Stephane reported that the PEBS fixup was broken by the recent commit to
the instruction decoder. The thing had an off-by-one which resulted in
not being able to decode the last instruction and always bail.Reported-by: Stephane Eranian

Currently the signed COMPARE (cr) instruction is used to compare "A"
with "X". This is not correct because "A" and "X" are both unsigned.
To fix this use the unsigned COMPARE LOGICAL (clr) instruction instead.Signed-off-by: Michael Holzheu

Currently the LOAD NEGATIVE (lnr) instruction is used for ALU_NEG. This
instruction always loads the negative value. Therefore, if A is already
negative, it remains unchanged. To fix this use LOAD COMPLEMENT (lcr)
instead.Signed-off-by: Michael Holzheu

Pull power management and ACPI fixes from Rafael Wysocki:
"These are an ACPI device power management initialization fix (-stable
material), two commits renaming stuff in the ACPI processor driver to
make it more suitable for ARM64 processors and a new ACPI backlight
blacklist entry.Specifics:
- Fix ACPI power management intialization for device objects
corresponding to devices that are not present at the init time (the
_STA control method returns 0 for them) and therefore should not be
regarded as power manageable (Rafael J Wysocki).- Rename a structure field and two functions used by the ACPI
processor driver to make them less tied to architectures that use
APICs (both x86 and ia64) and more suitable for ARM64 processors
(Hanjun Guo).- Add a disable_native_backlight quirk for Dell XPS15 L521X designed
in an unusual way preventing native backlight from working on that
machine (Hans de Goede)"* tag 'pm+acpi-3.19-rc4' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm:
ACPI / video: Add disable_native_backlight quirk for Dell XPS15 L521X
ACPI / processor: Rename acpi_(un)map_lsapic() to acpi_(un)map_cpu()

In case kasprintf() fails in xen_setup_timer() we assign name to the
static string "". We, however, don't check
that fact before issuing kfree() in xen_teardown_timer(), kernel is
supposed to crash with 'kernel BUG at mm/slub.c:3341!'Solve the issue by making name a fixed length string inside struct
xen_clock_event_device. 16 bytes should be enough.Suggested-by: Laszlo Ersek

If the non-RAM regions in the e820 memory map are larger than the size
of the initial balloon, a BUG was triggered as the frames are remaped
beyond the limit of the linear p2m. The frames are remapped into the
initial balloon area (xen_extra_mem) but not enough of this is
available.Ensure enough extra memory regions are added for these remapped
frames.Signed-off-by: David Vrabel
