Generally, calling exit() from a library is bad practice. Eventually
these functions might be redesigned so that they don't exit. For now,
just document the fact that they do.

When building perf binaries outside the source tree with 'make O=<dir>',
the auto-detected features get re-tested for every build, which is
unnecessary and inconsistent with the behavior seen when building
directly in the source tree.
Another issue is that 'make O=<dir> clean' doesn't remove the feature
files from the object tree.
Fix these problems by looking for the binaries in the $(OUTPUT)
directory.

Post processing at 'perf record' takes a long time on big machines.
What it does is to find the build-id of binaries found in the event
stream, so that it can make sure, at 'report' time, that the symtabs (be
it ELF, kallsyms, etc) being used to resolve symbols are the ones
matching the binaries found at 'record' time.
Sometimes we just want to skip this processing of events at the end of
the session to get quicker results, making sure the binaries haven't
changed from 'record' to 'report' time.
Add a new config option to control this behavior.
The record.build-id config variable can have one of the following
values:
- cache: post-process data and save/update the binaries into the
build-id cache (in ~/.debug). This is the default.
- no-cache: post-process the data but not update the build-id cache.
Same effect as using the -N option.
- skip: skip post-processing and do not update the cache.
Same effect as using the -B option.

Make perf-record command support --vmlinux option if BPF_PROLOGUE is on.
'perf record' needs vmlinux as the source of DWARF info to generate
prologue for BPF programs, so path of vmlinux should be specified.
Short name 'k' has been taken by 'clockid'. This patch skips the short
option name and uses '--vmlinux' for vmlinux path.
Documentation is also updated.
Test result:
In a production (or broken) environment:
(by:
# rm -rf ~/.debug/
# mv /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build/vmlinux /tmp/
)
# ./perf record -e ./test_bpf_base.c ls

This patch keeps options of perf builtins same in all conditions. If
one option is disabled because of compiling options, users should be
notified.
Masami suggested another implementation in [1] that, by adding a
OPTION_NEXT_DEPENDS option before those options in the 'struct option'
array, options parser knows an option is disabled. However, in some
cases this array is reordered (options__order()). In addition, in
parse-option.c that array is const, so we can't simply merge
information in decorator option into the affacted option.
This patch chooses a simpler implementation that, introducing a
set_option_nobuild() function and two option parsing flags. Builtins
with such options should call set_option_nobuild() before option
parsing. The complexity of this patch is because we want some of options
can be skipped safely. In this case their arguments should also be
consumed.
Options in 'perf record' and 'perf probe' are fixed in this patch.

Currently if kptr_restrict is enabled, all hist tests failed with
segfaults. This is because machine__create_kernel_maps() in
setup_fake_machine() failed in that situation, and it called
machine__delete() on the error path. But outer callers again called
machines__exit() causing double free for the host machine.

[The kernel patch needed for this is in tip now (b16a5b52eb9 perf/x86:
Add option to disable ...) So this user tools patch to make use of it
should be merged now]
Automatically disable collecting branch flags and cycles with
--call-graph lbr. This allows avoiding a bunch of extra MSR
reads in the PMI on Skylake.
When the kernel doesn't support the new flags they are automatically
cleared in the fallback code.
v2: Switch to use branch_sample_type instead of sample_type.
Adjust description.
Fix the fallback logic.

We should always return from thread__new(), the constructor, with the
object with a reference count of one, so that:
struct thread *thread = thread__new();
thread__put(thread);
Will call thread__delete().
If any reference is made to that 'thread' variable, it better use
thread__get(thread) to hold a reference.
We were returning with thread->refcnt set to zero, fix it and some cases
where thread__delete() was being called, which were not a problem
because just one reference was being used, now that we set it to 1, use
thread__put() instead.

Jan Stancek reported that I wrecked things for him by fixing things for
Vladimir :/
His report was due to an UNINTERRUPTIBLE wait getting -EINTR, which
should not be possible, however my previous patch made this possible by
unconditionally checking signal_pending().
We cannot use current->state as was done previously, because the
instruction after the store to that variable it can be changed. We must
instead pass the initial state along and use that.

Recent changes to how GFP_ATOMIC is defined seems to have broken the
condition to use mips_alloc_from_contiguous() in
mips_dma_alloc_coherent().
I couldn't bottom out the exact change but I think it's this commit
d0164adc89f6 ("mm, page_alloc: distinguish between being unable to
sleep, unwilling to sleep and avoiding waking kswapd").
GFP_ATOMIC has multiple bits set and the check for !(gfp & GFP_ATOMIC)
isn't enough.
The reason behind this condition is to check whether we can potentially
do a sleeping memory allocation. Use gfpflags_allow_blocking() instead
which should be more robust.

According to arch/sh/kernel/syscalls_64.S and common sense, __NR_fgetxattr

case.

It's possible that an oom killed victim shares an ->mm with the init
process and thus oom_kill_process() would end up trying to kill init as
well.
This has been shown in practice:
Out of memory: Kill process 9134 (init) score 3 or sacrifice child
Killed process 9134 (init) total-vm:1868kB, anon-rss:84kB, file-rss:572kB
Kill process 1 (init) sharing same memory
...
Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! exitcode=0x00000009
And this will result in a kernel panic.
If a process is forked by init and selected for oom kill while still
sharing init_mm, then it's likely this system is in a recoverable state.
However, it's better not to try to kill init and allow the machine to
panic due to unkillable processes.

Commit bdee237c0343 ("x86: mm: Use 2GB memory block size on large-memory
x86-64 systems") and 982792c782ef ("x86, mm: probe memory block size for
generic x86 64bit") introduced large block sizes for x86. This made it
possible to have multiple sections per memory block where previously,
there was a only every one section per block.
Since blocks consist of contiguous ranges of section, there can be holes
in the blocks where sections are not present. If one attempts to
offline such a block, a crash occurs since the code is not designed to
deal with this.
This patch is a quick fix to gaurd against the crash by not allowing
blocks with non-present sections to be offlined.

Dmitry Vyukov provides a little program, autogenerated by syzkaller,
which races a fault on a mapping of a sparse memfd object, against
truncation of that object below the fault address: run repeatedly for a
few minutes, it reliably generates shmem_evict_inode()'s
WARN_ON(inode->i_blocks).
(But there's nothing specific to memfd here, nor to the fstat which it
happened to use to generate the fault: though that looked suspicious,
since a shmem_recalc_inode() had been added there recently. The same
problem can be reproduced with open+unlink in place of memfd_create, and
with fstatfs in place of fstat.)
v3.7 commit 0f3c42f522dc ("tmpfs: change final i_blocks BUG to WARNING")
explains one cause of such a warning (a race with shmem_writepage to
swap), and possible solutions; but we never took it further, and this
syzkaller incident turns out to have a different cause.
shmem_getpage_gfp()'s error recovery, when a freshly allocated page is
then found to be beyond eof, looks plausible - decrementing the alloced
count that was just before incremented - but in fact can go wrong, if a
racing thread (the truncator, for example) gets its shmem_recalc_inode()
in just after our delete_from_page_cache(). delete_from_page_cache()
decrements nrpages, that shmem_recalc_inode() will balance the books by
decrementing alloced itself, then our decrement of alloced take it one
too low: leading to the WARNING when the object is finally evicted.
Once the new page has been exposed in the page cache,
shmem_getpage_gfp() must leave it to shmem_recalc_inode() itself to get
the accounting right in all cases (and not fall through from "trunc:" to
"decused:"). Adjust that error recovery block; and the reinitialization
of info and sbinfo can be removed too.
While we're here, fix shmem_writepage() to avoid the original issue: it
will be safe against a racing shmem_recalc_inode(), if it merely
increments swapped before the shmem_delete_from_page_cache() which
decrements nrpages (but it must then do its own shmem_recalc_inode()
before that, while still in balance, instead of after). (Aside: why do
we shmem_recalc_inode() here in the swap path? Because its raison d'etre
is to cope with clean sparse shmem pages being reclaimed behind our
back: so here when swapping is a good place to look for that case.) But
I've not now managed to reproduce this bug, even without the patch.
I don't see why I didn't do that earlier: perhaps inhibited by the
preference to eliminate shmem_recalc_inode() altogether. Driven by this
incident, I do now have a patch to do so at last; but still want to sit
on it for a bit, there's a couple of questions yet to be resolved.

Dmitry identified a potential memory leak in the routine region_chg,
where a region descriptor is not free'ed on an error path.
However, the root cause for the above memory leak resides in region_del.
In this specific case, a "placeholder" entry is created in region_chg.
The associated page allocation fails, and the placeholder entry is left
in the reserve map. This is "by design" as the entry should be deleted
when the map is released. The bug is in the region_del routine which is
used to delete entries within a specific range (and when the map is
released). region_del did not handle the case where a placeholder entry
exactly matched the start of the range range to be deleted. In this
case, the entry would not be deleted and leaked. The fix is to take
these special placeholder entries into account in region_del.
The region_chg error path leak is also fixed.

Currently at the beginning of hugetlb_fault(), we call huge_pte_offset()
and check whether the obtained *ptep is a migration/hwpoison entry or
not. And if not, then we get to call huge_pte_alloc(). This is racy
because the *ptep could turn into migration/hwpoison entry after the
huge_pte_offset() check. This race results in BUG_ON in
huge_pte_alloc().
We don't have to call huge_pte_alloc() when the huge_pte_offset()
returns non-NULL, so let's fix this bug with moving the code into else
block.
Note that the *ptep could turn into a migration/hwpoison entry after
this block, but that's not a problem because we have another
!pte_present check later (we never go into hugetlb_no_page() in that
case.)

Currently the full stop_machine() routine is only enabled on SMP if
module unloading is enabled, or if the CPUs are hotpluggable. This
leads to configurations where stop_machine() is broken as it will then
only run the callback on the local CPU with irqs disabled, and not stop
the other CPUs or run the callback on them.
For example, this breaks MTRR setup on x86 in certain configs since
ea8596bb2d8d379 ("kprobes/x86: Remove unused text_poke_smp() and
text_poke_smp_batch() functions") as the MTRR is only established on the
boot CPU.
This patch removes the Kconfig option for STOP_MACHINE and uses the SMP
and HOTPLUG_CPU config options to compile the correct stop_machine() for
the architecture, removing the false dependency on MODULE_UNLOAD in the
process.

prototype in include/linux/kmemleak.h is marked __ref since commit

This causes a section mismatch which is reported as a warning when

Commit 42cb14b110a5 ("mm: migrate dirty page without
clear_page_dirty_for_io etc") simplified the migration of a PageDirty
pagecache page: one stat needs moving from zone to zone and that's about
all.
It's convenient and safest for it to shift the PageDirty bit from old
page to new, just before updating the zone stats: before copying data
and marking the new PageUptodate. This is all done while both pages are
isolated and locked, just as before; and just as before, there's a
moment when the new page is visible in the radix_tree, but not yet
PageUptodate. What's new is that it may now be briefly visible as
PageDirty before it is PageUptodate.
When I scoured the tree to see if this could cause a problem anywhere,
the only places I found were in two similar functions __r4w_get_page():
which look up a page with find_get_page() (not using page lock), then
claim it's uptodate if it's PageDirty or PageWriteback or PageUptodate.
I'm not sure whether that was right before, but now it might be wrong
(on rare occasions): only claim the page is uptodate if PageUptodate.
Or perhaps the page in question could never be migratable anyway?

progress
Tetsuo Handa has reported that the system might basically livelock in
OOM condition without triggering the OOM killer.
The issue is caused by internal dependency of the direct reclaim on
vmstat counter updates (via zone_reclaimable) which are performed from
the workqueue context. If all the current workers get assigned to an
allocation request, though, they will be looping inside the allocator
trying to reclaim memory but zone_reclaimable can see stalled numbers so
it will consider a zone reclaimable even though it has been scanned way
too much. WQ concurrency logic will not consider this situation as a
congested workqueue because it relies that worker would have to sleep in
such a situation. This also means that it doesn't try to spawn new
workers or invoke the rescuer thread if the one is assigned to the
queue.
In order to fix this issue we need to do two things. First we have to
let wq concurrency code know that we are in trouble so we have to do a
short sleep. In order to prevent from issues handled by 0e093d99763e
("writeback: do not sleep on the congestion queue if there are no
congested BDIs or if significant congestion is not being encountered in
the current zone") we limit the sleep only to worker threads which are
the ones of the interest anyway.
The second thing to do is to create a dedicated workqueue for vmstat and
mark it WQ_MEM_RECLAIM to note it participates in the reclaim and to
have a spare worker thread for it.
