git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core Pull driver core patches from Greg KH: "Here are some driver core patches for 3.11-rc2. They aren't really bugfixes, but a bunch of new helper macros for drivers to properly create attribute groups, which drivers and subsystems need to fix up a ton of race issues with incorrectly creating sysfs files (binary and normal) after userspace has been told that the device is present. Also here is the ability to create binary files as attribute groups, to solve that race condition, which was impossible to do before this, so that's my fault the drivers were broken. The majority of the .c changes is indenting and moving code around a bit. It affects no existing code, but allows the large backlog of 70+ patches that I already have created to start flowing into the different subtrees, instead of having to live in my driver-core tree, causing merge nightmares in linux-next for the next few months. These were finalized too late for the -rc1 merge window, which is why they were didn't make that pull request, testing and review from others didn't happen until a few weeks ago, and then there's the whole distraction of the past few days, which prevented these from getting to you sooner, sorry about that. Oh, and there's a bugfix for the documentation build warning in here as well. All of these have been in linux-next this week, with no reported problems" * tag 'driver-core-3.11-rc2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core: driver-core: fix new kernel-doc warning in base/platform.c sysfs: use file mode defines from stat.h sysfs: add more helper macro's for (bin_)attribute(_groups) driver core: add default groups to struct class driver core: Introduce device_create_groups sysfs: prevent warning when only using binary attributes sysfs: add support for binary attributes in groups driver core: device.h: add RW and RO attribute macros sysfs.h: add BIN_ATTR macro sysfs.h: add ATTRIBUTE_GROUPS() macro sysfs.h: add __ATTR_RW() macro

2013-07-14kernel: delete __cpuinit usage from all core kernel filesPaul Gortmaker1-2/+2
The __cpuinit type of throwaway sections might have made sense some time ago when RAM was more constrained, but now the savings do not offset the cost and complications. For example, the fix in commit 5e427ec2d0 ("x86: Fix bit corruption at CPU resume time") is a good example of the nasty type of bugs that can be created with improper use of the various __init prefixes. After a discussion on LKML[1] it was decided that cpuinit should go the way of devinit and be phased out. Once all the users are gone, we can then finally remove the macros themselves from linux/init.h. This removes all the uses of the __cpuinit macros from C files in the core kernel directories (kernel, init, lib, mm, and include) that don't really have a specific maintainer.

2013-07-12perf: Remove WARN_ON_ONCE() check in __perf_event_enable() for valid scenarioJiri Olsa1-1/+10
The '!ctx->is_active' check has a valid scenario, so there's no need for the warning. The reason is that there's a time window between the 'ctx->is_active' check in the perf_event_enable() function and the __perf_event_enable() function having: - IRQs on - ctx->lock unlocked where the task could be killed and 'ctx' deactivated by perf_event_exit_task(), ending up with the warning below. So remove the WARN_ON_ONCE() check and add comments to explain it all.

2013-07-12perf: Clone child context from parent context pmuJiri Olsa1-1/+1
Currently when the child context for inherited events is created, it's based on the pmu object of the first event of the parent context. This is wrong for the following scenario: - HW context having HW and SW event - HW event got removed (closed) - SW event stays in HW context as the only event and its pmu is used to clone the child context The issue starts when the cpu context object is touched based on the pmu context object (__get_cpu_context). In this case the HW context will work with SW cpu context ending up with following WARN below. Fixing this by using parent context pmu object to clone from child context.

2013-07-05perf: Fix interrupt handler timing harnessStephane Eranian1-2/+2
This patch fixes a serious bug in: 14c63f17b1fd perf: Drop sample rate when sampling is too slow There was an misunderstanding on the API of the do_div() macro. It returns the remainder of the division and this was not what the function expected leading to disabling the interrupt latency watchdog.

2013-06-23perf: Drop sample rate when sampling is too slowDave Hansen1-4/+88
This patch keeps track of how long perf's NMI handler is taking, and also calculates how many samples perf can take a second. If the sample length times the expected max number of samples exceeds a configurable threshold, it drops the sample rate. This way, we don't have a runaway sampling process eating up the CPU. This patch can tend to drop the sample rate down to level where perf doesn't work very well. *BUT* the alternative is that my system hangs because it spends all of its time handling NMIs. I'll take a busted performance tool over an entire system that's busted and undebuggable any day. BTW, my suspicion is that there's still an underlying bug here. Using the HPET instead of the TSC is definitely a contributing factor, but I suspect there are some other things going on. But, I can't go dig down on a bug like that with my machine hanging all the time.

2013-06-20hw_breakpoint: Introduce "struct bp_cpuinfo"Oleg Nesterov1-33/+36
This patch simply moves all per-cpu variables into the new single per-cpu "struct bp_cpuinfo". To me this looks more logical and clean, but this can also simplify the further potential changes. In particular, I do not think this memory should be per-cpu, it is never used "locally". After this change it is trivial to turn it into, say, bootmem[nr_cpu_ids].

2013-06-20hw_breakpoint: Simplify list/idx mess in toggle_bp_slot() pathsOleg Nesterov1-24/+16
The enable/disable logic in toggle_bp_slot() is not symmetrical and imho very confusing. "old_count" in toggle_bp_task_slot() is actually new_count because this bp was already removed from the list. Change toggle_bp_slot() to always call list_add/list_del after toggle_bp_task_slot(). This way old_idx is task_bp_pinned() and this entry should be decremented, new_idx is +/-weight and we need to increment this element. The code/logic looks obvious.

2013-06-20hw_breakpoint: Fix cpu check in task_bp_pinned(cpu)Oleg Nesterov1-1/+1
trinity fuzzer triggered WARN_ONCE("Can't find any breakpoint slot") in arch_install_hw_breakpoint() but the problem is not arch-specific. The problem is, task_bp_pinned(cpu) checks "cpu == iter->cpu" but this doesn't account the "all cpus" events with iter->cpu < 0. This means that, say, register_user_hw_breakpoint(tsk) can happily create the arbitrary number > HBP_NUM of breakpoints which can not be activated. toggle_bp_task_slot() is equally wrong by the same reason and nr_task_bp_pinned[] can have negative entries. Simple test: # perl -e 'sleep 1 while 1' & # perf record -e mem:0x10,mem:0x10,mem:0x10,mem:0x10,mem:0x10 -p `pidof perl` Before this patch this triggers the same problem/WARN_ON(), after the patch it correctly fails with -ENOSPC.

2013-05-28perf: Fix perf mmap bugsPeter Zijlstra2-17/+23
Vince reported a problem found by his perf specific trinity fuzzer. Al noticed 2 problems with perf's mmap(): - it has issues against fork() since we use vma->vm_mm for accounting. - it has an rb refcount leak on double mmap(). We fix the issues against fork() by using VM_DONTCOPY; I don't think there's code out there that uses this; we didn't hear about weird accounting problems/crashes. If we do need this to work, the previously proposed VM_PINNED could make this work. Aside from the rb reference leak spotted by Al, Vince's example prog was indeed doing a double mmap() through the use of perf_event_set_output(). This exposes another problem, since we now have 2 events with one buffer, the accounting gets screwy because we account per event. Fix this by making the buffer responsible for its own accounting.

2013-05-28perf: Add sysfs entry to adjust multiplexing interval per PMUStephane Eranian1-4/+59
This patch adds /sys/device/xxx/perf_event_mux_interval_ms to ajust the multiplexing interval per PMU. The unit is milliseconds. Value has to be >= 1. In the 4th version, we renamed the sysfs file to be more consistent with the other /proc/sys/kernel entries for perf_events. In the 5th version, we handle the reprogramming of the hrtimer using hrtimer_forward_now(). That way, we sync up to new timer value quickly (suggested by Jiri Olsa).

2013-05-28perf: Use hrtimers for event multiplexingStephane Eranian1-8/+106
The current scheme of using the timer tick was fine for per-thread events. However, it was causing bias issues in system-wide mode (including for uncore PMUs). Event groups would not get their fair share of runtime on the PMU. With tickless kernels, if a core is idle there is no timer tick, and thus no event rotation (multiplexing). However, there are events (especially uncore events) which do count even though cores are asleep. This patch changes the timer source for multiplexing. It introduces a per-PMU per-cpu hrtimer. The advantage is that even when a core goes idle, it will come back to service the hrtimer, thus multiplexing on system-wide events works much better. The per-PMU implementation (suggested by PeterZ) enables adjusting the multiplexing interval per PMU. The preferred interval is stashed into the struct pmu. If not set, it will be forced to the default interval value. In order to minimize the impact of the hrtimer, it is turned on and off on demand. When the PMU on a CPU is overcommited, the hrtimer is activated. It is stopped when the PMU is not overcommitted. In order for this to work properly, we had to change the order of initialization in start_kernel() such that hrtimer_init() is run before perf_event_init(). The default interval in milliseconds is set to a timer tick just like with the old code. We will provide a sysctl to tune this in another patch.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip Pull 'full dynticks' support from Ingo Molnar: "This tree from Frederic Weisbecker adds a new, (exciting! :-) core kernel feature to the timer and scheduler subsystems: 'full dynticks', or CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL=y. This feature extends the nohz variable-size timer tick feature from idle to busy CPUs (running at most one task) as well, potentially reducing the number of timer interrupts significantly. This feature got motivated by real-time folks and the -rt tree, but the general utility and motivation of full-dynticks runs wider than that: - HPC workloads get faster: CPUs running a single task should be able to utilize a maximum amount of CPU power. A periodic timer tick at HZ=1000 can cause a constant overhead of up to 1.0%. This feature removes that overhead - and speeds up the system by 0.5%-1.0% on typical distro configs even on modern systems. - Real-time workload latency reduction: CPUs running critical tasks should experience as little jitter as possible. The last remaining source of kernel-related jitter was the periodic timer tick. - A single task executing on a CPU is a pretty common situation, especially with an increasing number of cores/CPUs, so this feature helps desktop and mobile workloads as well. The cost of the feature is mainly related to increased timer reprogramming overhead when a CPU switches its tick period, and thus slightly longer to-idle and from-idle latency. Configuration-wise a third mode of operation is added to the existing two NOHZ kconfig modes: - CONFIG_HZ_PERIODIC: [formerly !CONFIG_NO_HZ], now explicitly named as a config option. This is the traditional Linux periodic tick design: there's a HZ tick going on all the time, regardless of whether a CPU is idle or not. - CONFIG_NO_HZ_IDLE: [formerly CONFIG_NO_HZ=y], this turns off the periodic tick when a CPU enters idle mode. - CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL: this new mode, in addition to turning off the tick when a CPU is idle, also slows the tick down to 1 Hz (one timer interrupt per second) when only a single task is running on a CPU. The .config behavior is compatible: existing !CONFIG_NO_HZ and CONFIG_NO_HZ=y settings get translated to the new values, without the user having to configure anything. CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL is turned off by default. This feature is based on a lot of infrastructure work that has been steadily going upstream in the last 2-3 cycles: related RCU support and non-periodic cputime support in particular is upstream already. This tree adds the final pieces and activates the feature. The pull request is marked RFC because: - it's marked 64-bit only at the moment - the 32-bit support patch is small but did not get ready in time. - it has a number of fresh commits that came in after the merge window. The overwhelming majority of commits are from before the merge window, but still some aspects of the tree are fresh and so I marked it RFC. - it's a pretty wide-reaching feature with lots of effects - and while the components have been in testing for some time, the full combination is still not very widely used. That it's default-off should reduce its regression abilities and obviously there are no known regressions with CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL=y enabled either. - the feature is not completely idempotent: there is no 100% equivalent replacement for a periodic scheduler/timer tick. In particular there's ongoing work to map out and reduce its effects on scheduler load-balancing and statistics. This should not impact correctness though, there are no known regressions related to this feature at this point. - it's a pretty ambitious feature that with time will likely be enabled by most Linux distros, and we'd like you to make input on its design/implementation, if you dislike some aspect we missed. Without flaming us to crisp! :-) Future plans: - there's ongoing work to reduce 1Hz to 0Hz, to essentially shut off the periodic tick altogether when there's a single busy task on a CPU. We'd first like 1 Hz to be exposed more widely before we go for the 0 Hz target though. - once we reach 0 Hz we can remove the periodic tick assumption from nr_running>=2 as well, by essentially interrupting busy tasks only as frequently as the sched_latency constraints require us to do - once every 4-40 msecs, depending on nr_running. I am personally leaning towards biting the bullet and doing this in v3.10, like the -rt tree this effort has been going on for too long - but the final word is up to you as usual.

Locking cleanup is finally complete. cgroup_mutex is no longer exposed to individual controlelrs which used to cause nasty deadlock issues. Li fixed and cleaned up quite a bit including long standing ones like racy cgroup_path(). - device cgroup now supports proper hierarchy thanks to Aristeu. - perf_event cgroup now supports proper hierarchy. - A new mount option "__DEVEL__sane_behavior" is added. As indicated by the name, this option is to be used for development only at this point and generates a warning message when used. Unfortunately, cgroup interface currently has too many brekages and inconsistencies to implement a consistent and unified hierarchy on top. The new flag is used to collect the behavior changes which are necessary to implement consistent unified hierarchy. It's likely that this flag won't be used verbatim when it becomes ready but will be enabled implicitly along with unified hierarchy. The option currently disables some of broken behaviors in cgroup core and also .use_hierarchy switch in memcg (will be routed through -mm), which can be used to make very unusual hierarchy where nesting is partially honored. It will also be used to implement hierarchy support for blk-throttle which would be impossible otherwise without introducing a full separate set of control knobs. This is essentially versioning of interface which isn't very nice but at this point I can't see any other options which would allow keeping the interface the same while moving towards hierarchy behavior which is at least somewhat sane. The planned unified hierarchy is likely to require some level of adaptation from userland anyway, so I think it'd be best to take the chance and update the interface such that it's supportable in the long term. Maintaining the existing interface does complicate cgroup core but shouldn't put too much strain on individual controllers and I think it'd be manageable for the foreseeable future. Maybe we'll be able to drop it in a decade.

Trinity discovered that we fail to check all 64 bits of attr.config passed by user space, resulting to out-of-bounds access of the perf_swevent_enabled array in sw_perf_event_destroy(). Introduced in commit b0a873ebb ("perf: Register PMU implementations").

2013-04-13uretprobes: Limit the depth of return probe nestednessAnton Arapov1-0/+11
Unlike the kretprobes we can't trust userspace, thus must have protection from user space attacks. User-space have "unlimited" stack, and this patch limits the return probes nestedness as a simple remedy for it. Note that this implementation leaks return_instance on siglongjmp until exit()/exec(). The intention is to have KISS and bare minimum solution for the initial implementation in order to not complicate the uretprobes code. In the future we may come up with more sophisticated solution that remove this depth limitation. It is not easy task and lays beyond this patchset.

2013-04-13uretprobes: Return probe exit, invoke handlersAnton Arapov1-1/+64
Uretprobe handlers are invoked when the trampoline is hit, on completion the trampoline is replaced with the saved return address and the uretprobe instance deleted. TODO: handle_trampoline() assumes that ->return_instances is always valid. We should teach it to handle longjmp() which can invalidate the pending return_instance's. This is nontrivial, we will try to do this in a separate series.

2013-04-13uretprobes: Return probe entry, prepare_uretprobe()Anton Arapov1-1/+91
When a uprobe with return probe consumer is hit, prepare_uretprobe() function is invoked. It creates return_instance, hijacks return address and replaces it with the trampoline. * Return instances are kept as stack per uprobed task. * Return instance is chained, when the original return address is trampoline's page vaddr (e.g. recursive call of the probed function).

2013-04-13uretprobes: Reserve the first slot in xol_vma for trampolineAnton Arapov1-0/+25
Allocate trampoline page, as the very first one in uprobed task xol area, and fill it with breakpoint opcode. Also introduce get_trampoline_vaddr() helper, to wrap the trampoline address extraction from area->vaddr. That removes confusion and eases the debug experience in case ->vaddr notion will be changed.

2013-04-10perf: make perf_event cgroup hierarchicalTejun Heo1-8/+16
perf_event is one of a couple remaining cgroup controllers with broken hierarchy support. Converting it to support hierarchy is almost trivial. The only thing necessary is to consider a task belonging to a descendant cgroup as a match. IOW, if the cgroup of the currently executing task (@cpuctx->cgrp) equals or is a descendant of the event's cgroup (@event->cgrp), then the event should be enabled. Implement hierarchy support and remove .broken_hierarchy tag along with the incorrect comment on what needs to be done for hierarchy support.
