git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip Pull perf updates from Ingo Molnar: "On the kernel side the main changes in this cycle were: - Add Intel Kaby Lake CPU support (Srinivas Pandruvada) - AMD uncore driver updates for fam17 (Janakarajan Natarajan) - Intel/PT updates and core events optimizations and cleanups (Alexander Shishkin) - cgroups events fixes (David Carrillo-Cisneros) - kprobes improvements (Masami Hiramatsu) - ... plus misc fixes and updates. On the tooling side the main changes were: - Support clang build in tools/{perf,lib/{bpf,traceevent,api}} with CC=clang, to, for instance, take advantage of better warnings (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo): - Introduce the 'delta-abs' 'perf diff' compute method, that orders the histogram entries by the absolute value of the percentage delta for a function in two perf.data files, i.e. the functions that changed the most (increase or decrease in samples) comes first (Namhyung Kim) - Add support for parsing Intel uncore vendor event files and add uncore vendor events for the Intel server processors (Haswell, Broadwell, IvyBridge), Xeon Phi (Knights Landing) and Broadwell DE (Andi Kleen) - Introduce 'perf ftrace' a perf front end to the kernel's ftrace function and function_graph tracer, defaulting to the "function_graph" tracer, more work will be done in reviving this effort, forward porting it from its initial patch submission (Namhyung Kim) - Add 'e' and 'c' hotkeys to expand/collapse call chains for a single hist entry in the 'perf report' and 'perf top' TUI (Jiri Olsa) - Account thread wait time (off CPU time) separately: sleep, iowait and preempt, based on the prev_state of the last event, show the breakdown when using "perf sched timehist --state" (Namhyumg Kim) - Add more triggers to switch the output file (perf.data.TIMESTAMP). Now, in addition to switching to a different output file when receiving a SIGUSR2, one can also specify file size and time based triggers: perf record -a --switch-output=signal is equivalent to what we had before: perf record -a --switch-output While we can also ask for the file to be "sliced" by size, taking into account that that will happen only when we get woken up by the kernel, i.e. one has to take into account the --mmap-pages (the size of the perf mmap ring buffer): perf record -a --switch-output=2G will break the perf.data output into multiple files limited to 2GB of samples, right when generating the output. For time based samples, alert() will be used, so to have 1 minute limited perf.data output files: perf record -a --switch-output=1m (Jiri Olsa) - Improve 'perf trace' (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo) - 'perf kallsyms' toy tool to look for extended symbol information on the running kernel and demonstrate the machine/thread/symbol APIs for use in other tools, such as 'perf probe' (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo) - ... plus tons of other changes, see the shortlog and Git log for details" * 'perf-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (131 commits) perf tools: Add missing parse_events_error() prototype perf pmu: Fix check for unset alias->unit array perf tools: Be consistent on the type of map->symbols[] interator perf intel pt decoder: clang has no -Wno-override-init perf evsel: Do not put a variable sized type not at the end of a struct perf probe: Avoid accessing uninitialized 'map' variable perf tools: Do not put a variable sized type not at the end of a struct perf record: Do not put a variable sized type not at the end of a struct perf tests: Synthesize struct instead of using field after variable sized type perf bench numa: Make sure dprintf() is not defined Revert "perf bench futex: Sanitize numeric parameters" tools lib subcmd: Make it an error to pass a signed value to OPTION_UINTEGER tools: Set the maximum optimization level according to the compiler being used tools: Suppress request for warning options not existent in clang samples/bpf: Reset global variables samples/bpf: Ignore already processed ELF sections samples/bpf: Add missing header perf symbols: dso->name is an array, no need to check it against NULL perf tests record: No need to test an array against NULL perf symbols: No need to check if sym->name is NULL ...
2017-02-20objtool: Fix CONFIG_STACK_VALIDATION=y warning for out-of-tree modulesJosh Poimboeuf1-12/+12
When building a CONFIG_STACK_VALIDATION enabled kernel without the libelf devel package installed, the Makefile prints a warning: "Cannot use CONFIG_STACK_VALIDATION, please install libelf-dev, libelf-devel or elfutils-libelf-devel" But when building an out-of-tree module, the warning doesn't show. Instead it tries to use objtool, and the build fails with: /bin/sh: ./tools/objtool/objtool: No such file or directory Make sure the warning and the disabling of objtool occur in all cases, by moving the CONFIG_STACK_VALIDATION checks outside the 'ifeq ($(KBUILD_EXTMOD),)' block in the Makefile.

2017-02-03jump label: pass kbuild_cflags when checking for asm goto supportDavid Lin1-1/+1
Some versions of ARM GCC compiler such as Android toolchain throws in a '-fpic' flag by default. This causes the gcc-goto check script to fail although some config would have '-fno-pic' flag in the KBUILD_CFLAGS. This patch passes the KBUILD_CFLAGS to the check script so that the script does not rely on the default config from different compilers.

2017-01-26tools build: Add tools tree support for 'make -s'Josh Poimboeuf1-2/+4
When doing a kernel build with 'make -s', everything is silenced except the objtool build. That's because the tools tree support for silent builds is some combination of missing and broken. Three changes are needed to fix it: - Makefile: propagate '-s' to the sub-make's MAKEFLAGS variable so the tools Makefiles can see it. - tools/scripts/Makefile.include: fix the tools Makefiles' ability to recognize '-s'. The MAKE_VERSION and MAKEFLAGS checks are copied from the top-level Makefile. This silences the "DESCEND objtool" message. - tools/build/Makefile.build: add support to the tools Build files for recognizing '-s'. Again the MAKE_VERSION and MAKEFLAGS checks are copied from the top-level Makefile. This silences all the object compile/link messages.

2016-12-02kbuild: fix building bzImage with CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS enabledNicolas Pitre1-1/+8
When building a specific target such as bzImage, modules aren't normally built. However if CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS is enabled, no built modules means none of the exported symbols are used and therefore they will all be trimmed away from the final kernel. A subsequent "make modules" will fail because modpost cannot find the needed symbols for those modules in the kernel binary. Let's make sure modules are also built whenever CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS is enabled and that the kernel binary is properly rebuilt accordingly.

2016-11-15kbuild: Steal gcc's pie from the very beginningBorislav Petkov1-4/+3
So Sebastian turned off the PIE for kernel builds but that was too late - Kbuild.include already uses KBUILD_CFLAGS and trying to disable gcc options with, say cc-disable-warning, fails: gcc -D__KERNEL__ -Wall -Wundef -Wstrict-prototypes -Wno-trigraphs ... -Wno-sign-compare -fno-asynchronous-unwind-tables -Wframe-address -c -x c /dev/null -o .31392.tmp /dev/null:1:0: error: code model kernel does not support PIC mode because that returns an error and we can't disable the warning. For example in this case: KBUILD_CFLAGS += $(call cc-disable-warning,frame-address,) which leads to gcc issuing all those warnings again. So let's turn off PIE/PIC at the earliest possible moment, when we declare KBUILD_CFLAGS so that cc-disable-warning picks it up too. Also, we need the $(call cc-option ...) because -fno-PIE is supported since gcc v3.4 and our lowest supported gcc version is 3.2 right now.

2016-11-11Kbuild: enable -Wmaybe-uninitialized warning for "make W=1"Arnd Bergmann1-4/+6
Traditionally, we have always had warnings about uninitialized variables enabled, as this is part of -Wall, and generally a good idea [1], but it also always produced false positives, mainly because this is a variation of the halting problem and provably impossible to get right in all cases [2]. Various people have identified cases that are particularly bad for false positives, and in commit e74fc973b6e5 ("Turn off -Wmaybe-uninitialized when building with -Os"), I turned off the warning for any build that was done with CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE. This drastically reduced the number of false positive warnings in the default build but unfortunately had the side effect of turning the warning off completely in 'allmodconfig' builds, which in turn led to a lot of warnings (both actual bugs, and remaining false positives) to go in unnoticed. With commit 877417e6ffb9 ("Kbuild: change CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE definition") enabled the warning again for allmodconfig builds in v4.7 and in v4.8-rc1, I had finally managed to address all warnings I get in an ARM allmodconfig build and most other maybe-uninitialized warnings for ARM randconfig builds. However, commit 6e8d666e9253 ("Disable "maybe-uninitialized" warning globally") was merged at the same time and disabled it completely for all configurations, because of false-positive warnings on x86 that I had not addressed until then. This caused a lot of actual bugs to get merged into mainline, and I sent several dozen patches for these during the v4.9 development cycle. Most of these are actual bugs, some are for correct code that is safe because it is only called under external constraints that make it impossible to run into the case that gcc sees, and in a few cases gcc is just stupid and finds something that can obviously never happen. I have now done a few thousand randconfig builds on x86 and collected all patches that I needed to address every single warning I got (I can provide the combined patch for the other warnings if anyone is interested), so I hope we can get the warning back and let people catch the actual bugs earlier. This reverts the change to disable the warning completely and for now brings it back at the "make W=1" level, so we can get it merged into mainline without introducing false positives. A follow-up patch enables it on all levels unless some configuration option turns it off because of false-positives.

2016-10-12Disable the __builtin_return_address() warning globally after allLinus Torvalds1-0/+1
This affectively reverts commit 377ccbb48373 ("Makefile: Mute warning for __builtin_return_address(>0) for tracing only") because it turns out that it really isn't tracing only - it's all over the tree. We already also had the warning disabled separately for mm/usercopy.c (which this commit also removes), and it turns out that we will also want to disable it for get_lock_parent_ip(), that is used for at least TRACE_IRQFLAGS. Which (when enabled) ends up being all over the tree. Steven Rostedt had a patch that tried to limit it to just the config options that actually triggered this, but quite frankly, the extra complexity and abstraction just isn't worth it. We have never actually had a case where the warning is actually useful, so let's just disable it globally and not worry about it.

Allow architectures to create arch/xxx/Makefile.postlink with targets for vmlinux, modules.ko, and clean, which will be invoked after final linking of vmlinux and modules. powerpc will use this to check vmlinux linker relocations for sanity, and may use it to fix up alternate instruction patch branch addresses.

2016-09-09kbuild: allow archs to select link dead code/data eliminationNicholas Piggin1-0/+9
Introduce LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION option for architectures to select to build with -ffunction-sections, -fdata-sections, and link with --gc-sections. It requires some work (documented) to ensure all unreferenced entrypoints are live, and requires toolchain and build verification, so it is made a per-arch option for now. On a random powerpc64le build, this yelds a significant size saving, it boots and runs fine, but there is a lot I haven't tested as yet, so these savings may be reduced if there are bugs in the link. text data bss dec filename 11169741 1180744 1923176 14273661 vmlinux 10445269 1004127 1919707 13369103 vmlinux.dce ~700K text, ~170K data, 6% removed from kernel image size.

2016-08-22docs-rst: add support for LaTeX outputMauro Carvalho Chehab1-1/+1
Sphinx supports LaTeX output. Sometimes, it is interesting to call it directly, instead of also generating a PDF. As it comes for free, add a target for it. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@s-opensource.com> Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net>

2016-08-08gcc-plugins: abort builds cleanly when not supportedKees Cook1-7/+0
When the compiler doesn't support gcc plugins (either due to missing headers or too old a version), report the problem and abort the build instead of emitting a warning and letting the build founder with arcane compiler errors. Signed-off-by: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org>
