2016-10-07tools/testing/nvdimm: support for sub-dividing a pmem regionDan Williams
Update nfit_test to handle multiple sub-allocations within a given pmem region. The mock resource now tracks and un-tracks sub-ranges as they are requested and released (either explicitly or via devm callback). Signed-off-by: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com>

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace Pull namespace updates from Eric Biederman: "This set of changes is a number of smaller things that have been overlooked in other development cycles focused on more fundamental change. The devpts changes are small things that were a distraction until we managed to kill off DEVPTS_MULTPLE_INSTANCES. There is an trivial regression fix to autofs for the unprivileged mount changes that went in last cycle. A pair of ioctls has been added by Andrey Vagin making it is possible to discover the relationships between namespaces when referring to them through file descriptors. The big user visible change is starting to add simple resource limits to catch programs that misbehave. With namespaces in general and user namespaces in particular allowing users to use more kinds of resources, it has become important to have something to limit errant programs. Because the purpose of these limits is to catch errant programs the code needs to be inexpensive to use as it always on, and the default limits need to be high enough that well behaved programs on well behaved systems don't encounter them. To this end, after some review I have implemented per user per user namespace limits, and use them to limit the number of namespaces. The limits being per user mean that one user can not exhause the limits of another user. The limits being per user namespace allow contexts where the limit is 0 and security conscious folks can remove from their threat anlysis the code used to manage namespaces (as they have historically done as it root only). At the same time the limits being per user namespace allow other parts of the system to use namespaces. Namespaces are increasingly being used in application sand boxing scenarios so an all or nothing disable for the entire system for the security conscious folks makes increasing use of these sandboxes impossible. There is also added a limit on the maximum number of mounts present in a single mount namespace. It is nontrivial to guess what a reasonable system wide limit on the number of mount structure in the kernel would be, especially as it various based on how a system is using containers. A limit on the number of mounts in a mount namespace however is much easier to understand and set. In most cases in practice only about 1000 mounts are used. Given that some autofs scenarious have the potential to be 30,000 to 50,000 mounts I have set the default limit for the number of mounts at 100,000 which is well above every known set of users but low enough that the mount hash tables don't degrade unreaonsably. These limits are a start. I expect this estabilishes a pattern that other limits for resources that namespaces use will follow. There has been interest in making inotify event limits per user per user namespace as well as interest expressed in making details about what is going on in the kernel more visible" * 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace: (28 commits) autofs: Fix automounts by using current_real_cred()->uid mnt: Add a per mount namespace limit on the number of mounts netns: move {inc,dec}_net_namespaces into #ifdef nsfs: Simplify __ns_get_path tools/testing: add a test to check nsfs ioctl-s nsfs: add ioctl to get a parent namespace nsfs: add ioctl to get an owning user namespace for ns file descriptor kernel: add a helper to get an owning user namespace for a namespace devpts: Change the owner of /dev/pts/ptmx to the mounter of /dev/pts devpts: Remove sync_filesystems devpts: Make devpts_kill_sb safe if fsi is NULL devpts: Simplify devpts_mount by using mount_nodev devpts: Move the creation of /dev/pts/ptmx into fill_super devpts: Move parse_mount_options into fill_super userns: When the per user per user namespace limit is reached return ENOSPC userns; Document per user per user namespace limits. mntns: Add a limit on the number of mount namespaces. netns: Add a limit on the number of net namespaces cgroupns: Add a limit on the number of cgroup namespaces ipcns: Add a limit on the number of ipc namespaces ...
2016-10-06selftests/powerpc: Fix build break caused by EXPORT_SYMBOL changesMichael Ellerman
The changes to make EXPORT_SYMBOL work in asm, specifically commit 9445aa1a3062 ("ppc: move exports to definitions"), in the kbuild tree, breaks some of our selftests. That is because we symlink the kernel code into the selftest, and shim the required headers, and we are now missing asm/export.h So create a minimal export.h to keep the tests building once powerpc and the kbuild trees are merged.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/staging Pull staging and IIO updates from Greg KH: "Here is the big staging and IIO driver pull request for 4.9-rc1. There are a lot of patches in here, the majority due to the drivers/staging/greybus/ subsystem being merged in with full development history that went back a few years, in order to preserve the work that those developers did over time. Lots and lots of tiny cleanups happened in the tree as well, due to the Outreachy application process and lots of other developers showing up for the first time to clean code up. Along with those changes, we deleted a wireless driver, and added a raspberrypi driver (currently marked broken), and lots of new iio drivers. Overall the tree still shrunk with more lines removed than added, about 10 thousand lines removed in total. Full details are in the very long shortlog below. All of this has been in the linux-next tree with no issues. There will be some merge problems with other subsystem trees, but those are all minor problems and shouldn't be hard to work out when they happen (MAINTAINERS and some lustre build problems with the IB tree)" And furter from me asking for clarification about greybus: "Right now there is a phone from Motorola shipping with this code (a slightly older version, but the same tree), so even though Ara is not alive in the same form, the functionality is happening. We are working with the developers of that phone to merge the newer stuff in with their fork so they can use the upstream version in future versions of their phone product line. Toshiba has at least one chip shipping in their catalog that needs/uses this protocol over a Unipro link, and rumor has it that there might be more in the future. There are also other users of the greybus protocols, there is a talk next week at ELC that shows how it is being used across a network connection to control a device, and previous ELC talks have showed the protocol stack being used over USB to drive embedded Linux boards. I've also talked to some people who are starting to work to add a host controller driver to control arduinos as the greybus PHY protocols are very useful to control a serial/i2c/spio/whatever device across a random physical link, as it is a way to have a self-describing device be attached to a host without needing manual configuration. So yes, people are using it, and there is still the chance that it will show up in a phone/laptop/tablet/whatever from Google in the future as well, the tech isn't dead, even if the original large phone project happens to be" * tag 'staging-4.9-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/staging: (3703 commits) Staging: fbtft: Fix bug in fbtft-core staging: rtl8188eu: fix double unlock error in rtw_resume_process() staging:r8188eu: remove GEN_MLME_EXT_HANDLER macro staging:r8188eu: remove GEN_DRV_CMD_HANDLER macro staging:r8188eu: remove GEN_EVT_CODE macro staging:r8188eu: remove GEN_CMD_CODE macro staging:r8188eu: remove pkt_newalloc member of the recv_buf structure staging:r8188eu: remove rtw_handle_dualmac declaration staging:r8188eu: remove (RGTRY|BSSID)_(OFT|SZ) macros staging:r8188eu: change rtl8188e_process_phy_info function argument type Staging: fsl-mc: Remove blank lines Staging: fsl-mc: Fix unaligned * in block comments Staging: comedi: Align the * in block comments Staging : ks7010 : Fix block comments warninig Staging: vt6655: Remove explicit NULL comparison using Coccinelle staging: rtl8188eu: core: rtw_xmit: Use macros instead of constants staging: rtl8188eu: core: rtw_xmit: Move constant of the right side staging: dgnc: Fix lines longer than 80 characters Staging: dgnc: constify attribute_group structures Staging: most: hdm-dim2: constify attribute_group structures ...

2016-10-05perf intel-pt: Fix MTC timestamp calculation for large MTC periodsAdrian Hunter
The MTC packet provides a 8-bit slice of CTC which is related to TSC by the TMA packet, however the TMA packet only provides the lower 16 bits of CTC. If mtc_shift > 8 then some of the MTC bits are not in the CTC provided by the TMA packet.

In cycle-accurate mode, timestamps can be calculated from CYC packets. The decoder also estimates timestamps based on the number of instructions since the last timestamp.

2016-10-03perf pmu-events: Fix fixed counters on IntelAndi Kleen
The JSON event lists use a different encoding for fixed counters than perf for instructions and cycles (ref-cycles is ok) This lead to some common events like inst_retired.any or cpu_clk_unhalted.thread not counting, when specified with their JSON name. Special case these events in the jevents conversion process. I prefer to not touch the JSON files for this, as it's intended that standard JSON files can be just dropped into the perf build without changes.

2016-10-03perf tools: Make alias matching case-insensitiveAndi Kleen
Make alias matching the events parser case-insensitive. This is useful with the JSON events. perf uses lower case events, but the CPU manuals generally use upper case event names. The JSON files use lower case by default too. But if we search case insensitively then users can cut-n-paste the upper case event names. So the following works: % perf stat -e BR_INST_EXEC.TAKEN_INDIRECT_NEAR_CALL true Performance counter stats for 'true': 305 BR_INST_EXEC.TAKEN_INDIRECT_NEAR_CALL 0.000492799 seconds time elapsed Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com> Acked-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org> Tested-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Madhavan Srinivasan <maddy@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: linuxppc-dev@lists.ozlabs.org Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1473978296-20712-17-git-send-email-sukadev@linux.vnet.ibm.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
