Pull perf updates from Ingo Molnar:
"Kernel side changes:
- Add Intel RAPL energy counter support (Stephane Eranian)
- Clean up uprobes (Oleg Nesterov)
- Optimize ring-buffer writes (Peter Zijlstra)
Tooling side changes, user visible:
- 'perf diff':
- Add column colouring improvements (Ramkumar Ramachandra)
- 'perf kvm':
- Add guest related improvements, including allowing to specify a
directory with guest specific /proc information (Dongsheng Yang)
- Add shell completion support (Ramkumar Ramachandra)
- Add '-v' option (Dongsheng Yang)
- Support --guestmount (Dongsheng Yang)
- 'perf probe':
- Support showing source code, asking for variables to be collected
at probe time and other 'perf probe' operations that use DWARF
information.
This supports only binaries with debugging information at this
time, detached debuginfo (aka debuginfo packages) support should
come in later patches (Masami Hiramatsu)
- 'perf record':
- Rename --no-delay option to --no-buffering, better reflecting its
purpose and freeing up '--delay' to take the place of
'--initial-delay', so that 'record' and 'stat' are consistent
(Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
- Default the -t/--thread option to no inheritance (Adrian Hunter)
- Make per-cpu mmaps the default (Adrian Hunter)
- 'perf report':
- Improve callchain processing performance (Frederic Weisbecker)
- Retain bfd reference to lookup source line numbers, greatly
optimizing, among other use cases, 'perf report -s srcline'
(Adrian Hunter)
- Improve callchain processing performance even more (Namhyung Kim)
- Add a perf.data file header window in the 'perf report' TUI,
associated with the 'i' hotkey, providing a counterpart to the
--header option in the stdio UI (Namhyung Kim)
- 'perf script':
- Add an option in 'perf script' to print the source line number
(Adrian Hunter)
- Add --header/--header-only options to 'script' and 'report', the
default is not tho show the header info, but as this has been the
default for some time, leave a single line explaining how to
obtain that information (Jiri Olsa)
- Add options to show comm, fork, exit and mmap PERF_RECORD_ events
(Namhyung Kim)
- Print callchains and symbols if they exist (David Ahern)

(Stanislav Fomichev)
- 'perf top':
- Make 'perf top -g' refer to callchains, for consistency with
other tools (David Ahern)
- 'perf trace':
- Handle old kernels where the "raw_syscalls" tracepoints were
called plain "syscalls" (David Ahern)
- Remove thread summary coloring, by Pekka Enberg.
- Honour -m option in 'trace', the tool was offering the option to
set the mmap size, but wasn't using it when doing the actual mmap
on the events file descriptors (Jiri Olsa)
- generic:
- Backport libtraceevent plugin support (trace-cmd repository, with
plugins for jbd2, hrtimer, kmem, kvm, mac80211, sched_switch,

build-test) (Namhyung Kim)
- Get rid of die() and friends (good riddance!) in libtraceevent
(Namhyung Kim)

being propagated to the feature tests, leading to features being
tested in the host and then being enabled on the target (Mark
Rutland)
- Improve forked workload error reporting by sending the errno in the
signal data queueing integer field, using sigqueue and by doing the
signal setup in the evlist methods, removing open coded equivalents
in various tools (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
- Do more auto exit cleanup chores in the 'evlist' destructor, so
that the tools don't have to all do that sequence (Arnaldo Carvalho

bugs (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
- Rename some struct DSO binary_type related members and methods, to
clarify its purpose and need for differentiation (symtab_type, ie
one is about the files .text, CFI, etc, i.e. its binary contents,

Pull networking fixes from David Miller:
1) The value choosen for the new SO_MAX_PACING_RATE socket option on
parisc was very poorly choosen, let's fix it while we still can.
From Eric Dumazet.
2) Our generic reciprocal divide was found to handle some edge cases
incorrectly, part of this is encoded into the BPF as deep as the JIT
engines themselves. Just use a real divide throughout for now.
From Eric Dumazet.
3) Because the initial lookup is lockless, the TCP metrics engine can
end up creating two entries for the same lookup key. Fix this by
doing a second lookup under the lock before we actually create the
new entry. From Christoph Paasch.
4) Fix scatter-gather list init in usbnet driver, from Bjørn Mork.
5) Fix unintended 32-bit truncation in cxgb4 driver's bit shifting.
From Dan Carpenter.
6) Netlink socket dumping uses the wrong socket state for timewait
sockets. Fix from Neal Cardwell.
7) Fix netlink memory leak in ieee802154_add_iface(), from Christian
Engelmayer.
8) Multicast forwarding in ipv4 can overflow the per-rule reference
counts, causing all multicast traffic to cease. Fix from Hannes
Frederic Sowa.
9) via-rhine needs to stop all TX queues when it resets the device,
from Richard Weinberger.

On AMD family 10h we see following error messages while waking up from
S3 for all non-boot CPUs leading to a failed IBS initialization:
Enabling non-boot CPUs ...
smpboot: Booting Node 0 Processor 1 APIC 0x1
[Firmware Bug]: cpu 1, try to use APIC500 (LVT offset 0) for vector 0x400, but the register is already in use for vector 0xf9 on another cpu
perf: IBS APIC setup failed on cpu #1
process: Switch to broadcast mode on CPU1
CPU1 is up
...
ACPI: Waking up from system sleep state S3
Reason for this is that during suspend the LVT offset for the IBS
vector gets lost and needs to be reinialized while resuming.
The offset is read from the IBSCTL msr. On family 10h the offset needs
to be 1 as offset 0 is used for the MCE threshold interrupt, but
firmware assings it for IBS to 0 too. The kernel needs to reprogram
the vector. The msr is a readonly node msr, but a new value can be
written via pci config space access. The reinitialization is
implemented for family 10h in setup_ibs_ctl() which is forced during
IBS setup.
This patch fixes IBS setup after waking up from S3 by adding
resume/supend hooks for the boot cpu which does the offset
reinitialization.
Marking it as stable to let distros pick up this fix.

Waiman managed to trigger a PMI while in a emulate_vsyscall() fault,
the PMI in turn managed to trigger a fault while obtaining a stack
trace. This triggered the sig_on_uaccess_error recursive fault logic
and killed the process dead.
Fix this by explicitly excluding interrupts from the recursive fault
logic.

At first Jakub Zawadzki noticed that some divisions by reciprocal_divide
were not correct. (off by one in some cases)
http://www.wireshark.org/~darkjames/reciprocal-buggy.c
He could also show this with BPF:
http://www.wireshark.org/~darkjames/set-and-dump-filter-k-bug.c
The reciprocal divide in linux kernel is not generic enough,
lets remove its use in BPF, as it is not worth the pain with
current cpus.

During heavy CPU-hotplug operations the following spurious kernel warnings
can trigger:
do_IRQ: No ... irq handler for vector (irq -1)
[ See: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=64831 ]
When downing a cpu it is possible that there are unhandled irqs
left in the APIC IRR register. The following code path shows
how the problem can occur:
1. CPU 5 is to go down.
2. cpu_disable() on CPU 5 executes with interrupt flag cleared
by local_irq_save() via stop_machine().
3. IRQ 12 asserts on CPU 5, setting IRR but not ISR because
interrupt flag is cleared (CPU unabled to handle the irq)
4. IRQs are migrated off of CPU 5, and the vectors' irqs are set
to -1. 5. stop_machine() finishes cpu_disable()
6. cpu_die() for CPU 5 executes in normal context.
7. CPU 5 attempts to handle IRQ 12 because the IRR is set for
IRQ 12. The code attempts to find the vector's IRQ and cannot
because it has been set to -1. 8. do_IRQ() warning displays
warning about CPU 5 IRQ 12.
I added a debug printk to output which CPU & vector was
retriggered and discovered that that we are getting bogus
events. I see a 100% correlation between this debug printk in
fixup_irqs() and the do_IRQ() warning.
This patchset resolves this by adding definitions for
VECTOR_UNDEFINED(-1) and VECTOR_RETRIGGERED(-2) and modifying
the code to use them.

A number of situations currently require the heavyweight smp_mb(),
even though there is no need to order prior stores against later
loads. Many architectures have much cheaper ways to handle these
situations, but the Linux kernel currently has no portable way
to make use of them.
This commit therefore supplies smp_load_acquire() and
smp_store_release() to remedy this situation. The new
smp_load_acquire() primitive orders the specified load against
any subsequent reads or writes, while the new smp_store_release()
primitive orders the specifed store against any prior reads or
writes. These primitives allow array-based circular FIFOs to be
implemented without an smp_mb(), and also allow a theoretical
hole in rcu_assign_pointer() to be closed at no additional
expense on most architectures.
In addition, the RCU experience transitioning from explicit
smp_read_barrier_depends() and smp_wmb() to rcu_dereference()
and rcu_assign_pointer(), respectively resulted in substantial
improvements in readability. It therefore seems likely that
replacing other explicit barriers with smp_load_acquire() and
smp_store_release() will provide similar benefits. It appears
that roughly half of the explicit barriers in core kernel code
might be so replaced.

This patch adds support for the Intel RAPL energy counter
PP1 (Power Plane 1).
On client processors, it usually corresponds to the
energy consumption of the builtin graphic card. That
is why the sysfs event is called energy-gpu.
New event:
- name: power/energy-gpu/
- code: event=0x4
- unit: 2^-32 Joules
On processors without graphics, this should count 0.
The patch only enables this event on client processors.

Linus disliked the _no_lockdep() naming, so instead
use the more-consistent raw_* prefix to the non-lockdep

KVM: nVMX: Unconditionally uninit the MMU on nested vmexit
KVM: x86: Fix APIC map calculation after re-enabling
|
|
Three reasons for doing this: 1. arch.walk_mmu points to arch.mmu anyway
in case nested EPT wasn't in use. 2. this aligns VMX with SVM. But 3. is
most important: nested_cpu_has_ept(vmcs12) queries the VMCS page, and if
one guest VCPU manipulates the page of another VCPU in L2, we may be
fooled to skip over the nested_ept_uninit_mmu_context, leaving mmu in
nested state. That can crash the host later on if nested_ept_get_cr3 is
invoked while L1 already left vmxon and nested.current_vmcs12 became
NULL therefore.

Linux 3.10 changed the timing of how thread_info->flags is touched:
x86: Use generic idle loop
(7d1a941731fabf27e5fb6edbebb79fe856edb4e5)
This caused Intel NHM-EX and WSM-EX servers to experience a large number
of immediate MONITOR/MWAIT break wakeups, which caused cpuidle to demote
from deep C-states to shallow C-states, which caused these platforms
to experience a significant increase in idle power.
Note that this issue was already present before the commit above,
however, it wasn't seen often enough to be noticed in power measurements.
Here we extend an errata workaround from the Core2 EX "Dunnington"
to extend to NHM-EX and WSM-EX, to prevent these immediate
returns from MWAIT, reducing idle power on these platforms.
While only acpi_idle ran on Dunnington, intel_idle
may also run on these two newer systems.
As of today, there are no other models that are known
to need this tweak.

There are a few subtle races, between change_protection_range (used by
mprotect and change_prot_numa) on one side, and NUMA page migration and
compaction on the other side.
The basic race is that there is a time window between when the PTE gets
made non-present (PROT_NONE or NUMA), and the TLB is flushed.
During that time, a CPU may continue writing to the page.
This is fine most of the time, however compaction or the NUMA migration
code may come in, and migrate the page away.
When that happens, the CPU may continue writing, through the cached
translation, to what is no longer the current memory location of the
process.
This only affects x86, which has a somewhat optimistic pte_accessible.
All other architectures appear to be safe, and will either always flush,
or flush whenever there is a valid mapping, even with no permissions
(SPARC).
The basic race looks like this:
CPU A CPU B CPU C
load TLB entry
make entry PTE/PMD_NUMA
fault on entry
read/write old page
start migrating page
change PTE/PMD to new page
read/write old page [*]
flush TLB
reload TLB from new entry
read/write new page
lose data
[*] the old page may belong to a new user at this point!
The obvious fix is to flush remote TLB entries, by making sure that
pte_accessible aware of the fact that PROT_NONE and PROT_NUMA memory may
still be accessible if there is a TLB flush pending for the mm.
This should fix both NUMA migration and compaction.

Base pages are unmapped and flushed from cache and TLB during normal
page migration and replaced with a migration entry that causes any
parallel NUMA hinting fault or gup to block until migration completes.
THP does not unmap pages due to a lack of support for migration entries
at a PMD level. This allows races with get_user_pages and
get_user_pages_fast which commit 3f926ab945b6 ("mm: Close races between
THP migration and PMD numa clearing") made worse by introducing a
pmd_clear_flush().
This patch forces get_user_page (fast and normal) on a pmd_numa page to
go through the slow get_user_page path where it will serialise against
THP migration and properly account for the NUMA hinting fault. On the
migration side the page table lock is taken for each PTE update.

A guest can cause a BUG_ON() leading to a host kernel crash.
When the guest writes to the ICR to request an IPI, while in x2apic
mode the following things happen, the destination is read from
ICR2, which is a register that the guest can control.
kvm_irq_delivery_to_apic_fast uses the high 16 bits of ICR2 as the
cluster id. A BUG_ON is triggered, which is a protection against
accessing map->logical_map with an out-of-bounds access and manages
to avoid that anything really unsafe occurs.
The logic in the code is correct from real HW point of view. The problem
is that KVM supports only one cluster with ID 0 in clustered mode, but
the code that has the bug does not take this into account.

In kvm_lapic_sync_from_vapic and kvm_lapic_sync_to_vapic there is the
potential to corrupt kernel memory if userspace provides an address that
is at the end of a page. This patches concerts those functions to use
kvm_write_guest_cached and kvm_read_guest_cached. It also checks the
vapic_address specified by userspace during ioctl processing and returns
an error to userspace if the address is not a valid GPA.
This is generally not guest triggerable, because the required write is
done by firmware that runs before the guest. Also, it only affects AMD
processors and oldish Intel that do not have the FlexPriority feature
(unless you disable FlexPriority, of course; then newer processors are
also affected).

Under guest controllable circumstances apic_get_tmcct will execute a
divide by zero and cause a crash. If the guest cpuid support
tsc deadline timers and performs the following sequence of requests
the host will crash.
- Set the mode to periodic
- Set the TMICT to 0
- Set the mode bits to 11 (neither periodic, nor one shot, nor tsc deadline)
- Set the TMICT to non-zero.
Then the lapic_timer.period will be 0, but the TMICT will not be. If the
guest then reads from the TMCCT then the host will perform a divide by 0.
This patch ensures that if the lapic_timer.period is 0, then the division
does not occur.

While hunting a preemption issue with Alexander, Ben noticed that the
currently generic PREEMPT_NEED_RESCHED stuff is horribly broken for
load-store architectures.
We currently rely on the IPI to fold TIF_NEED_RESCHED into
PREEMPT_NEED_RESCHED, but when this IPI lands while we already have
a load for the preempt-count but before the store, the store will erase
the PREEMPT_NEED_RESCHED change.
The current preempt-count only works on load-store archs because
interrupts are assumed to be completely balanced wrt their preempt_count
fiddling; the previous preempt_count load will match the preempt_count
state after the interrupt and therefore nothing gets lost.
This patch removes the PREEMPT_NEED_RESCHED usage from generic code and
pushes it into x86 arch code; the generic code goes back to relying on
TIF_NEED_RESCHED.
Boot tested on x86_64 and compile tested on ppc64.

uv_flush_tlb_other() gets called for every flush, whether the

The EVENT_CONSTRAINT_END() macro defines the end marker as
a constraint with a weight of zero. This was all fine
until we blacklisted the corrupting memory events on
Intel IvyBridge. These events are blacklisted by using
a counter bitmask of zero. Thus, they also get a constraint
weight of zero.
The iteration macro: for_each_constraint tests the weight==0.
Therefore, it was stopping at the first blacklisted event, i.e.,
0xd0. The corrupting events were therefore considered as
unconstrained and were scheduled on any of the generic counters.
This patch fixes the end marker to have a weight of -1. With
this, the blacklisted events get an empty constraint and cannot
be scheduled which is what we want for now.
