There's several locations in the kernel that open code the calculation
of the next location in the trace_seq buffer. This is usually done with
p->buffer + p->len
Instead of having this open coded, supply a helper function in the
header to do it for them. This function is called trace_seq_buffer_ptr().

Currently trace_seq_putmem_hex() can only take as a parameter a pointer
to something that is 8 bytes or less, otherwise it will overflow the
buffer. This is protected by a macro that encompasses the call to
trace_seq_putmem_hex() that has a BUILD_BUG_ON() for the variable before
it is passed in. This is not very robust and if trace_seq_putmem_hex() ever
gets used outside that macro it will cause issues.
Instead of only being able to produce a hex output of memory that is for
a single word, change it to be more robust and allow any size input.

For using trace_seq_*() functions in NMI context, I posted a patch to move
it to the lib/ directory. This caused Andrew Morton to take a look at the code.
He went through and gave a lot of comments about missing kernel doc,
inconsistent types for the save variable, mix match of EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL()
and EXPORT_SYMBOL() as well as missing EXPORT_SYMBOL*()s. There were
a few comments about the way variables were being compared (int vs uint).
All these were good review comments and should be implemented regardless of
if trace_seq.c should be moved to lib/ or not.

The trace_seq_*() functions are a nice utility that allows users to manipulate
buffers with printf() like formats. It has its own trace_seq.h header in
include/linux and should be in its own file. Being tied with trace_output.c
is rather awkward.

Function graph tracing is a bit different than the function tracers, as
it is processed after either the ftrace_caller or ftrace_regs_caller
and we only have one place to modify the jump to ftrace_graph_caller,
the jump needs to happen after the restore of registeres.
The function graph tracer is dependent on the function tracer, where
even if the function graph tracing is going on by itself, the save and
restore of registers is still done for function tracing regardless of
if function tracing is happening, before it calls the function graph
code.
If there's no function tracing happening, it is possible to just call
the function graph tracer directly, and avoid the wasted effort to save
and restore regs for function tracing.
This requires adding new flags to the dyn_ftrace records:
FTRACE_FL_TRAMP
FTRACE_FL_TRAMP_EN
The first is set if the count for the record is one, and the ftrace_ops
associated to that record has its own trampoline. That way the mcount code
can call that trampoline directly.
In the future, trampolines can be added to arbitrary ftrace_ops, where you
can have two or more ftrace_ops registered to ftrace (like kprobes and perf)
and if they are not tracing the same functions, then instead of doing a
loop to check all registered ftrace_ops against their hashes, just call the
ftrace_ops trampoline directly, which would call the registered ftrace_ops
function directly.
Without this patch perf showed:

When registering a function callback for the function tracer, the ops
can specify if it wants to save full regs (like an interrupt would)
for each function that it traces, or if it does not care about regs
and just wants to have the fastest return possible.
Once a ops has registered a function, if other ops register that
function they all will receive the regs too. That's because it does
the work once, it does it for everyone.
Now if the ops wanting regs unregisters the function so that there's
only ops left that do not care about regs, those ops will still
continue getting regs and going through the work for it on that
function. This is because the disabling of the rec counter only
sees the ops registered, and does not see the ops that are still
attached, and does not know if the current ops that are still attached
want regs or not. To play it safe, it just keeps regs being processed
until no function is registered anymore.
Instead of doing that, check the ops that are still registered for that
function and if none want regs for it anymore, then disable the
processing of regs.

Pull tracing cleanups and fixes from Steven Rostedt:
"This includes three patches from Oleg Nesterov. The first is a fix to
a race condition that happens between enabling/disabling syscall
tracepoints and new process creations (the check to go into the ptrace
path for a process can be set when it shouldn't, or not set when it
should). Not a major bug but one that should be fixed and even
applied to stable.
The other two patches are cleanup/fixes that are not that critical,
but for an -rc1 release would be nice to have. They both deal with
syscall tracepoints.
It also includes a patch to introduce a new macro for the
TRACE_EVENT() format called __field_struct(). Originally, __field()
was used to record any variable into a trace event, but with the
addition of setting the "is signed" attribute, the check causes
anything but a primitive variable to fail to compile. That is,
structs and unions can't be used as they once were. When the "is
signed" check was introduce there were only primitive variables being
recorded. But that will change soon and it was reported that
__field() causes build failures.
To solve the __field() issue, __field_struct() is introduced to allow
trace_events to be able to record complex types too"

A 'softlockup' is defined as a bug that causes the kernel to loop in
kernel mode for more than a predefined period to time, without giving
other tasks a chance to run.
Currently, upon detection of this condition by the per-cpu watchdog
task, debug information (including a stack trace) is sent to the system
log.
On some occasions, we have observed that the "victim" rather than the
actual "culprit" (i.e. the owner/holder of the contended resource) is
reported to the user. Often this information has proven to be
insufficient to assist debugging efforts.
To avoid loss of useful debug information, for architectures which
support NMI, this patch makes it possible to improve soft lockup
reporting. This is accomplished by issuing an NMI to each cpu to obtain
a stack trace.
If NMI is not supported we just revert back to the old method. A sysctl
and boot-time parameter is available to toggle this feature.

However, if the percpu_pagelist_fraction sysctl is set by the user, it
is also impossible to restore it to the kernel default since the user
cannot write 0 to the sysctl.
This patch allows the user to write 0 to restore the default behavior.
It still requires a fraction equal to or larger than 8, however, as
stated by the documentation for sanity. If a value in the range [1, 7]
is written, the sysctl will return EINVAL.
This successfully solves the divide by zero issue at the same time.

NMI watchdog: disabled (cpu0): hardware events not enabled
What happened is after updating the watchdog_thresh, the lockup detector
is restarted to utilize the new value. Part of this process involved
disabling preemption. Once preemption was disabled, perf tried to
allocate a new event (as part of the restart). This caused the above
BUG_ON as you can't sleep with preemption disabled.
The preemption restriction seemed agressive as we are not doing anything
on that particular cpu, but with all the online cpus (which are
protected by the get_online_cpus lock). Remove the restriction and the
BUG_ON goes away.

To allow filtering of huge pages, makedumpfile must be able to identify
them in the dump. This can be done by checking the appropriate page
flag, so communicate its value to makedumpfile through the VMCOREINFO
interface.
There's only one small catch. Depending on how many page flags are
available on a given architecture, this bit can be called PG_head or
PG_compound.
I sent a similar patch back in 2012, but Eric Biederman did not like
using an #ifdef. So, this time I'm adding a common symbol
(PG_head_mask) instead.

There is a race between the CPU offline code (within stop-machine) and
the smp-call-function code, which can lead to getting IPIs on the
outgoing CPU, *after* it has gone offline.
Specifically, this can happen when using
smp_call_function_single_async() to send the IPI, since this API allows
sending asynchronous IPIs from IRQ disabled contexts. The exact race
condition is described below.
During CPU offline, in stop-machine, we don't enforce any rule in the
_DISABLE_IRQ stage, regarding the order in which the outgoing CPU and
the other CPUs disable their local interrupts. Due to this, we can
encounter a situation in which an IPI is sent by one of the other CPUs
to the outgoing CPU (while it is *still* online), but the outgoing CPU
ends up noticing it only *after* it has gone offline.
CPU 1 CPU 2
(Online CPU) (CPU going offline)
Enter _PREPARE stage Enter _PREPARE stage
Enter _DISABLE_IRQ stage
=
Got a device interrupt, and | Didn't notice the IPI
the interrupt handler sent an | since interrupts were
IPI to CPU 2 using | disabled on this CPU.
smp_call_function_single_async() |
=
Enter _DISABLE_IRQ stage
Enter _RUN stage Enter _RUN stage
=
Busy loop with interrupts | Invoke take_cpu_down()
disabled. | and take CPU 2 offline
=
Enter _EXIT stage Enter _EXIT stage
Re-enable interrupts Re-enable interrupts
The pending IPI is noted
immediately, but alas,
the CPU is offline at
this point.
This of course, makes the smp-call-function IPI handler code running on
CPU 2 unhappy and it complains about "receiving an IPI on an offline
CPU".
One real example of the scenario on CPU 1 is the block layer's
complete-request call-path:
__blk_complete_request() [interrupt-handler]
raise_blk_irq()
smp_call_function_single_async()
However, if we look closely, the block layer does check that the target
CPU is online before firing the IPI. So in this case, it is actually
the unfortunate ordering/timing of events in the stop-machine phase that
leads to receiving IPIs after the target CPU has gone offline.
In reality, getting a late IPI on an offline CPU is not too bad by
itself (this can happen even due to hardware latencies in IPI
send-receive). It is a bug only if the target CPU really went offline
without executing all the callbacks queued on its list. (Note that a
CPU is free to execute its pending smp-call-function callbacks in a
batch, without waiting for the corresponding IPIs to arrive for each one
of those callbacks).
So, fixing this issue can be broken up into two parts:
1. Ensure that a CPU goes offline only after executing all the
callbacks queued on it.
2. Modify the warning condition in the smp-call-function IPI handler
code such that it warns only if an offline CPU got an IPI *and* that
CPU had gone offline with callbacks still pending in its queue.
Achieving part 1 is straight-forward - just flush (execute) all the
queued callbacks on the outgoing CPU in the CPU_DYING stage[1],
including those callbacks for which the source CPU's IPIs might not have
been received on the outgoing CPU yet. Once we do this, an IPI that
arrives late on the CPU going offline (either due to the race mentioned
above, or due to hardware latencies) will be completely harmless, since
the outgoing CPU would have executed all the queued callbacks before
going offline.
Overall, this fix (parts 1 and 2 put together) additionally guarantees
that we will see a warning only when the *IPI-sender code* is buggy -
that is, if it queues the callback _after_ the target CPU has gone
offline.
[1]. The CPU_DYING part needs a little more explanation: by the time we
execute the CPU_DYING notifier callbacks, the CPU would have already
been marked offline. But we want to flush out the pending callbacks at
this stage, ignoring the fact that the CPU is offline. So restructure
the IPI handler code so that we can by-pass the "is-cpu-offline?" check
in this particular case. (Of course, the right solution here is to fix
CPU hotplug to mark the CPU offline _after_ invoking the CPU_DYING
notifiers, but this requires a lot of audit to ensure that this change
doesn't break any existing code; hence lets go with the solution
proposed above until that is done).

syscall_regfunc() ignores the kernel threads because "it has no effect",
see cc3b13c1 "Don't trace kernel thread syscalls" which added this check.
However, this means that a user-space task spawned by call_usermodehelper()
will run without TIF_SYSCALL_TRACEPOINT if sys_tracepoint_refcount != 0.
Remove this check. The unnecessary report from ret_from_fork path mentioned
by cc3b13c1 is no longer possible, see See commit fb45550d76bb5 "make sure
that kernel_thread() callbacks call do_exit() themselves".
A kernel_thread() callback can only return and take the int_ret_from_sys_call
path after do_execve() succeeds, otherwise the kernel will crash. But in this
case it is no longer a kernel thread and thus is needs TIF_SYSCALL_TRACEPOINT.

3. Change syscall_regfunc() to check PF_KTHREAD to skip

Pull ACPI and power management fixes from Rafael Wysocki:
"These are fixes mostly (ia64 regression related to the ACPI
enumeration of devices, cpufreq regressions, fix for I2C controllers
included in Intel SoCs, mvebu cpuidle driver fix related to sysfs)
plus additional kernel command line arguments from Kees to make it
possible to build kernel images with hibernation and the kernel
address space randomization included simultaneously, a new ACPI
battery driver quirk for a system with a broken BIOS and a couple of
ACPI core cleanups.
Specifics:
- Fix for an ia64 regression introduced during the 3.11 cycle by a
commit that modified the hardware initialization ordering and made
device discovery fail on some systems.
- Fix for a build problem on systems where the cpufreq-cpu0 driver is
built-in and the cpu-thermal driver is modular from Arnd Bergmann.
- Fix for a recently introduced computational mistake in the
intel_pstate driver that leads to excessive rounding errors from
Doug Smythies.
- Fix for a failure code path in cpufreq_update_policy() that fails
to unlock the locks acquired previously from Aaron Plattner.
- Fix for the cpuidle mvebu driver to use shorter state names which
will prevent the sysfs interface from returning mangled strings.
From Gregory Clement.
- ACPI LPSS driver fix to make sure that the I2C controllers included
in BayTrail SoCs are not held in the reset state while they are
being probed from Mika Westerberg.
- New kernel command line arguments making it possible to build
kernel images with hibernation and kASLR included at the same time
and to select which of them will be used via the command line (they
are still functionally mutually exclusive, though). From Kees
Cook.
- ACPI battery driver quirk for Acer Aspire V5-573G that fails to
send battery status change notifications timely from Alexander
Mezin.
- Two ACPI core cleanups from Christoph Jaeger and Fabian Frederick"

To support using kernel features that are not compatible with hibernation,
this creates the "nohibernate" kernel boot parameter to disable both
hibernation and resume. This allows hibernation support to be a boot-time
choice instead of only a compile-time choice.

When the rtmutex fast path is enabled the slow unlock function can
create the following situation:
spin_lock(foo->m->wait_lock);
foo->m->owner = NULL;
rt_mutex_lock(foo->m); <-- fast path
free = atomic_dec_and_test(foo->refcnt);
rt_mutex_unlock(foo->m); <-- fast path
if (free)
kfree(foo);
spin_unlock(foo->m->wait_lock); <--- Use after free.
Plug the race by changing the slow unlock to the following scheme:
while (!rt_mutex_has_waiters(m)) {
/* Clear the waiters bit in m->owner */
clear_rt_mutex_waiters(m);
owner = rt_mutex_owner(m);
spin_unlock(m->wait_lock);
if (cmpxchg(m->owner, owner, 0) == owner)
return;
spin_lock(m->wait_lock);
}
So in case of a new waiter incoming while the owner tries the slow
path unlock we have two situations:
unlock(wait_lock);
lock(wait_lock);
cmpxchg(p, owner, 0) == owner
mark_rt_mutex_waiters(lock);
acquire(lock);
Or:
unlock(wait_lock);
lock(wait_lock);
mark_rt_mutex_waiters(lock);
cmpxchg(p, owner, 0) != owner
enqueue_waiter();
unlock(wait_lock);
lock(wait_lock);
wakeup_next waiter();
unlock(wait_lock);
lock(wait_lock);
acquire(lock);
If the fast path is disabled, then the simple
m->owner = NULL;
unlock(m->wait_lock);
is sufficient as all access to m->owner is serialized via
m->wait_lock;
Also document and clarify the wakeup_next_waiter function as suggested
by Oleg Nesterov.

This essentially reverts commit:
ecd50f714c42 ("kprobes, x86: Call exception_enter after kprobes handled")
since it causes build errors with CONFIG_CONTEXT_TRACKING and
that has been made from misunderstandings;
context_track_user_*() don't involve much in interrupt context,
it just returns if in_interrupt() is true.
Instead of changing the do_debug/int3(), this just adds
context_track_user_*() to kprobes blacklist, since those are
still can be called right before kprobes handles int3 and debug
exceptions, and probing those will cause an infinite loop.

Since I said we would do that in the previous PM+ACPI pull request,

bus below the host bridge to be checked for changes as they should
because of a mistake in the ACPI-based PCI hotplug (ACPIPHP)
subsystem that forgets to add hotplug contexts to PCI host bridge
ACPI device objects. Create hotplug contexts for PCI host bridges
too as appropriate.

driver that breaks arm64 builds.
- Fix for a regression in the ppc-corenet cpufreq driver introduced

from do_div instead of the quotient. From Ed Swarthout.
- Resets triggered by panic activate a BUG_ON() in vmalloc.c on

space. Fix from Randy Wright.
- Fix for a problem with cpufreq governors that decisions made by
them may be suboptimal due to the fact that deferrable timers are
used by them for CPU load sampling. From Srivatsa S Bhat.
- Fix for a problem with the Tegra cpufreq driver where the CPU
frequency is temporarily switched to a "stable" level that is
different from both the initial and target frequencies during
transitions which causes udelay() to expire earlier than it should
sometimes. From Viresh Kumar.

The kernel has no concept of capabilities with respect to inodes; inodes
exist independently of namespaces. For example, inode_capable(inode,
CAP_LINUX_IMMUTABLE) would be nonsense.
This patch changes inode_capable to check for uid and gid mappings and
renames it to capable_wrt_inode_uidgid, which should make it more
obvious what it does.

The freeing of an instance, if max data is configured, there will be
per cpu data structures created. But these are not freed when the instance
is deleted, which causes a memory leak.
A new helper function is added that frees the individual buffers within a
trace array, instead of duplicating the code. This way changes made for one
are applied to the other (normal buffer vs max buffer).

The per_cpu buffers are created one per possible CPU. But these do
not mean that those CPUs are online, nor do they even exist.
With the addition of the ring buffer polling, it assumes that the
caller polls on an existing buffer. But this is not the case if
the user reads trace_pipe from a CPU that does not exist, and this
causes the kernel to crash.
Simple fix is to check the cpu against buffer bitmask against to see
if the buffer was allocated or not and return -ENODEV if it is
not.
More updates were done to pass the -ENODEV back up to userspace.

Pull cgroup updates from Tejun Heo:
"A lot of activities on cgroup side. Heavy restructuring including
locking simplification took place to improve the code base and enable
implementation of the unified hierarchy, which currently exists behind
a __DEVEL__ mount option. The core support is mostly complete but
individual controllers need further work. To explain the design and
rationales of the the unified hierarchy
Documentation/cgroups/unified-hierarchy.txt
is added.
Another notable change is css (cgroup_subsys_state - what each
controller uses to identify and interact with a cgroup) iteration
update. This is part of continuing updates on css object lifetime and
visibility. cgroup started with reference count draining on removal
way back and is now reaching a point where csses behave and are
iterated like normal refcnted objects albeit with some complexities to
allow distinguishing the state where they're being deleted. The css
iteration update isn't taken advantage of yet but is planned to be
used to simplify memcg significantly"

Pull workqueue updates from Tejun Heo:
"Lai simplified worker destruction path and internal workqueue locking
and there are some other minor changes.
Except for the removal of some long-deprecated interfaces which
haven't had any in-kernel user for quite a while, there shouldn't be
any difference to workqueue users"

This reverts commit 3090ffb5a2515990182f3f55b0688a7817325488.
Re-enable the mmap2 interface as we will have a user soon.
Since things have changed since perf disabled mmap2, small tweaks
to the revert had to be done:
o commit 9d4ecc88 forced (n!=8) to become (n<7)
o a new libunwind test needed updating to use mmap2 interface
