Tejun Heo 073219e995 cgroup: clean up cgroup_subsys names and initialization
cgroup_subsys is a bit messier than it needs to be.

* The name of a subsys can be different from its internal identifier
  defined in cgroup_subsys.h.  Most subsystems use the matching name
  but three - cpu, memory and perf_event - use different ones.

* cgroup_subsys_id enums are postfixed with _subsys_id and each
  cgroup_subsys is postfixed with _subsys.  cgroup.h is widely
  included throughout various subsystems, it doesn't and shouldn't
  have claim on such generic names which don't have any qualifier
  indicating that they belong to cgroup.

* cgroup_subsys->subsys_id should always equal the matching
  cgroup_subsys_id enum; however, we require each controller to
  initialize it and then BUG if they don't match, which is a bit
  silly.

This patch cleans up cgroup_subsys names and initialization by doing
the followings.

* cgroup_subsys_id enums are now postfixed with _cgrp_id, and each
  cgroup_subsys with _cgrp_subsys.

* With the above, renaming subsys identifiers to match the userland
  visible names doesn't cause any naming conflicts.  All non-matching
  identifiers are renamed to match the official names.

  cpu_cgroup -> cpu
  mem_cgroup -> memory
  perf -> perf_event

* controllers no longer need to initialize ->subsys_id and ->name.
  They're generated in cgroup core and set automatically during boot.

* Redundant cgroup_subsys declarations removed.

* While updating BUG_ON()s in cgroup_init_early(), convert them to
  WARN()s.  BUGging that early during boot is stupid - the kernel
  can't print anything, even through serial console and the trap
  handler doesn't even link stack frame properly for back-tracing.

This patch doesn't introduce any behavior changes.

v2: Rebased on top of fe1217c4f3 ("net: net_cls: move cgroupfs
    classid handling into core").

Linus Torvalds 60eaa0190f This pull request has a new feature to ftrace, namely the trace event
triggers by Tom Zanussi. A trigger is a way to enable an action when an
 event is hit. The actions are:
 
  o  trace on/off - enable or disable tracing
  o  snapshot     - save the current trace buffer in the snapshot
  o  stacktrace   - dump the current stack trace to the ringbuffer
  o  enable/disable events - enable or disable another event
 
 Namhyung Kim added updates to the tracing uprobes code. Having the
 uprobes add support for fetch methods.
 
 The rest are various bug fixes with the new code, and minor ones for
 the old code.

Yann Droneaud a21b0b354d perf: Introduce a flag to enable close-on-exec in perf_event_open()
Unlike recent modern userspace API such as:

  epoll_create1 (EPOLL_CLOEXEC), eventfd (EFD_CLOEXEC),
  fanotify_init (FAN_CLOEXEC), inotify_init1 (IN_CLOEXEC),
  signalfd (SFD_CLOEXEC), timerfd_create (TFD_CLOEXEC),
  or the venerable general purpose open (O_CLOEXEC),

perf_event_open() syscall lack a flag to atomically set FD_CLOEXEC
(eg. close-on-exec) flag on file descriptor it returns to userspace.

The present patch adds a PERF_FLAG_FD_CLOEXEC flag to allow
perf_event_open() syscall to atomically set close-on-exec.

Having this flag will enable userspace to remove the file descriptor
from the list of file descriptors being inherited across exec,
without the need to call fcntl(fd, F_SETFD, FD_CLOEXEC) and the
associated race condition between the current thread and another
thread calling fork(2) then execve(2).

Stephane Eranian f3ae75de98 perf/x86: Fix active_entry initialization
This patch fixes a problem with the initialization of the
struct perf_event active_entry field. It is defined inside
an anonymous union and was initialized in perf_event_alloc()
using INIT_LIST_HEAD(). However at that time, we do not know
whether the event is going to use active_entry or hlist_entry (SW).
Or at last, we don't want to make that determination there.
The problem is that hlist and list_head are not initialized
the same way. One is okay with NULL (from kzmalloc), the other
needs to pointers to point to self.

This patch resolves this problem by dropping the union.
This will avoid problems later on, if someone starts using
active_entry or hlist_entry without verifying that they
actually overlap. This also solves the initialization
problem.

Oleg Nesterov 72fd293aa9 uprobes: Allocate ->utask before handler_chain() for tracing handlers
uprobe_trace_print() and uprobe_perf_print() need to pass the additional
info to call_fetch() methods, currently there is no simple way to do this.

current->utask looks like a natural place to hold this info, but we need
to allocate it before handler_chain().

This is a bit unfortunate, perhaps we will find a better solution later,
but this is simple and should work right now.

Peter Zijlstra bad7192b84 perf: Fix PERF_EVENT_IOC_PERIOD to force-reset the period
Vince Weaver reports that, on all architectures apart from ARM,
PERF_EVENT_IOC_PERIOD doesn't actually update the period until the next
event fires. This is counter-intuitive behaviour and is better dealt
with in the core code.

This patch ensures that the period is forcefully reset when dealing with
such a request in the core code. A subsequent patch removes the
equivalent hack from the ARM back-end.

Alexander Shishkin 443772776c perf: Disable all pmus on unthrottling and rescheduling
Currently, only one PMU in a context gets disabled during unthrottling
and event_sched_{out,in}(), however, events in one context may belong to
different pmus, which results in PMUs being reprogrammed while they are
still enabled.

This means that mixed PMU use [which is rare in itself] resulted in
potentially completely unreliable results: corrupted events, bogus
results, etc.

This patch temporarily disables PMUs that correspond to
each event in the context while these events are being modified.

Stephane Eranian 71ad88efeb perf: Add active_entry list head to struct perf_event
This patch adds a new field to the struct perf_event.
It is intended to be used to chain events which are
active (enabled). It helps in the hardware layer
for PMUs which do not have actual counter restrictions, i.e.,
free running read-only counters. Active events are chained
as opposed to being tracked via the counter they use.

To save space we use a union with hlist_entry as both
are mutually exclusive (suggested by Jiri Olsa).

Oleg Nesterov 3247343118 uprobes: Add uprobe_task->dup_xol_work/dup_xol_addr
uprobe_task->vaddr is a bit strange. The generic code uses it only
to pass the additional argument to arch_uprobe_pre_xol(), and since
it is always equal to instruction_pointer() this looks even more
strange.

And both utask->vaddr and and utask->autask have the same scope,
they only have the meaning when the task executes the probed insn
out-of-line, so it is safe to reuse both in UTASK_RUNNING state.

This all means that logically ->vaddr belongs to arch_uprobe_task
and we should probably move it there, arch_uprobe_pre_xol() can
record instruction_pointer() itself.

OTOH, it is also used by uprobe_copy_process() and dup_xol_work()
for another purpose, this doesn't look clean and doesn't allow to
move this member into arch_uprobe_task.

This patch adds the union with 2 anonymous structs into uprobe_task.

The first struct is autask + vaddr, this way we "almost" move vaddr
into autask.

The second struct has 2 new members for uprobe_copy_process() paths:
->dup_xol_addr which can be used instead ->vaddr, and ->dup_xol_work
which can be used to avoid kmalloc() and simplify the code.

Note that this union will likely have another member(s), we need
something like "private_data_for_handlers" so that the tracing
handlers could use it to communicate with call_fetch() methods.

Oleg Nesterov 2ded0980a6 uprobes: Fix the memory out of bound overwrite in copy_insn()
1. copy_insn() doesn't look very nice, all calculations are
   confusing and it is not immediately clear why do we read
   the 2nd page first.

2. The usage of inode->i_size is wrong on 32-bit machines.

3. "Instruction at end of binary" logic is simply wrong, it
   doesn't handle the case when uprobe->offset > inode->i_size.

   In this case "bytes" overflows, and __copy_insn() writes to
   the memory outside of uprobe->arch.insn.

   Yes, uprobe_register() checks i_size_read(), but this file
   can be truncated after that. All i_size checks are racy, we
   do this only to catch the obvious mistakes.

Change copy_insn() to call __copy_insn() in a loop, simplify
and fix the bytes/nbytes calculations.

Note: we do not care if we read extra bytes after inode->i_size
if we got the valid page. This is fine because the task gets the
same page after page-fault, and arch_uprobe_analyze_insn() can't
know how many bytes were actually read anyway.

because write_opcode() is static.

Oleg Nesterov 8a8de66c4f uprobes: Introduce arch_uprobe->ixol
Currently xol_get_insn_slot() assumes that we should simply copy
arch_uprobe->insn[] which is (ignoring arch_uprobe_analyze_insn)
just the copy of the original insn.

This is not true for arm which needs to create another insn to
execute it out-of-line.

So this patch simply adds the new member, ->ixol into the union.
This doesn't make any difference for x86 and powerpc, but arm
can divorce insn/ixol and initialize the correct xol insn in
arch_uprobe_analyze_insn().

The arch_perf_output_copy_user() default of
__copy_from_user_inatomic() returns bytes not copied, while all other
argument functions given DEFINE_OUTPUT_COPY() return bytes copied.

Since copy_from_user_nmi() is the odd duck out by returning bytes
copied where all other *copy_{to,from}* functions return bytes not
copied, change it over and ammend DEFINE_OUTPUT_COPY() to expect bytes
not copied.

Oddly enough DEFINE_OUTPUT_COPY() already returned bytes not copied
while expecting its worker functions to return bytes copied.

Add unlikely() annotations to 'slow' paths:

When having a sampling event but no output buffer; you have bigger

When having a sampling event but a control page only buffer, you have
bigger issues -- again the bail is still faster than actually doing
work.

Optimize for the case where you're not loosing events -- again, not
doing the work is still faster but make sure that when you have to
actually do work its as fast as possible.

The typical watermark is 1/2 the buffer size, so most events will not
take this path.

Oleg Nesterov 3ab6796617 uprobes: Teach uprobe_copy_process() to handle CLONE_VFORK
uprobe_copy_process() does nothing if the child shares ->mm with
the forking process, but there is a special case: CLONE_VFORK.
In this case it would be more correct to do dup_utask() but avoid
dup_xol(). This is not that important, the child should not unwind
its stack too much, this can corrupt the parent's stack, but at
least we need this to allow to ret-probe __vfork() itself.

Note: in theory, it would be better to check task_pt_regs(p)->sp
instead of CLONE_VFORK, we need to dup_utask() if and only if the
child can return from the function called by the parent. But this
needs the arch-dependant helper, and I think that nobody actually
does clone(same_stack, CLONE_VM).

Oleg Nesterov aa59c53fd4 uprobes: Change uprobe_copy_process() to dup xol_area
This finally fixes the serious bug in uretprobes: a forked child
crashes if the parent called fork() with the pending ret probe.

Trivial test-case:

	# perf probe -x /lib/libc.so.6 __fork%return
	# perf record -e probe_libc:__fork perl -le 'fork || print "OK"'

(the child doesn't print "OK", it is killed by SIGSEGV)

If the child returns from the probed function it actually returns
to trampoline_vaddr, because it got the copy of parent's stack
mangled by prepare_uretprobe() when the parent entered this func.

It crashes because a) this address is not mapped and b) until the
previous change it doesn't have the proper->return_instances info.

This means that uprobe_copy_process() has to create xol_area which
has the trampoline slot, and its vaddr should be equal to parent's
xol_area->vaddr.

Unfortunately, uprobe_copy_process() can not simply do
__create_xol_area(child, xol_area->vaddr). This could actually work
but perf_event_mmap() doesn't expect the usage of foreign ->mm. So
we offload this to task_work_run(), and pass the argument via not
yet used utask->vaddr.

We know that this vaddr is fine for install_special_mapping(), the
necessary hole was recently "created" by dup_mmap() which skips the
parent's VM_DONTCOPY area, and nobody else could use the new mm.

Unfortunately, this also means that we can not handle the errors
properly, we obviously can not abort the already completed fork().
So we simply print the warning if GFP_KERNEL allocation (the only
possible reason) fails.

Oleg Nesterov 248d3a7b2f uprobes: Change uprobe_copy_process() to dup return_instances
uprobe_copy_process() assumes that the new child doesn't need
->utask, it should be allocated by demand.

But this is not true if the forking task has the pending ret-
probes, the child should report them as well and thus it needs
the copy of parent's ->return_instances chain. Otherwise the
child crashes when it returns from the probed function.

Alternatively we could cleanup the child's stack, but this needs
per-arch changes and this is not what we want. At least systemtap
expects a .return in the child too.

Note: this change alone doesn't fix the problem, see the next
change.

Oleg Nesterov af0d95af79 uprobes: Teach __create_xol_area() to accept the predefined vaddr
Currently xol_add_vma() uses get_unmapped_area() for area->vaddr,
but the next patches need to use the fixed address. So this patch
adds the new "vaddr" argument to __create_xol_area() which should
be used as area->vaddr if it is nonzero.

xol_add_vma() doesn't bother to verify that the predefined addr is
not used, insert_vm_struct() should fail if find_vma_links() detects
the overlap with the existing vma.

Also, __create_xol_area() doesn't need __GFP_ZERO to allocate area.

No functional changes, preparation.

Extract the code which actually allocates/installs the new area
into the new helper, __create_xol_area().

While at it remove the unnecessary "ret = ENOMEM" and "ret = 0"
in xol_add_vma(), they both have no effect.

Oleg Nesterov b68e074910 uprobes: Change the callsite of uprobe_copy_process()
Preparation for the next patches.

Move the callsite of uprobe_copy_process() in copy_process() down
to the succesfull return. We do not care if copy_process() fails,
uprobe_free_utask() won't be called in this case so the wrong
->utask != NULL doesn't matter.

OTOH, with this change we know that copy_process() can't fail when
uprobe_copy_process() is called, the new task should either return
to user-mode or call do_exit(). This way uprobe_copy_process() can:

	1. setup p->utask != NULL if necessary

	2. setup uprobes_state.xol_area

	3. use task_work_add(p)

Also, move the definition of uprobe_copy_process() down so that it
can see get_utask().

Stephane Eranian 3090ffb5a2 perf: Disable PERF_RECORD_MMAP2 support
For now, we disable the extended MMAP record support (MMAP2).

We have identified cases where it would not report the correct mapping
information, clone(VM_CLONE) but with separate pids.  We will revisit
the support once we find a solution for this case.

The patch changes the kernel to return EINVAL if attr->mmap2 is set. The
patch also modifies the perf tool to use regular PERF_RECORD_MMAP for
synthetic events and it also prevents the tool from requesting
attr->mmap2 mode because the kernel would reject it.

The support will be revisited once the kenrel interface is updated.

In V2, we reduce the patch to the strict minimum.

In V3, we avoid calling perf_event_open() with mmap2 set because we know
it will fail and require fallback retry.

Andi Kleen fdfbbd07e9 perf: Add generic transaction flags
Add a generic qualifier for transaction events, as a new sample
type that returns a flag word. This is particularly useful
for qualifying aborts: to distinguish aborts which happen
due to asynchronous events (like conflicts caused by another
CPU) versus instructions that lead to an abort.

The tuning strategies are very different for those cases,
so it's important to distinguish them easily and early.

Since it's inconvenient and inflexible to filter for this
in the kernel we report all the events out and allow
some post processing in user space.

The flags are based on the Intel TSX events, but should be fairly
generic and mostly applicable to other HTM architectures too. In addition
to various flag words there's also reserved space to report an
program supplied abort code. For TSX this is used to distinguish specific
classes of aborts, like a lock busy abort when doing lock elision.

Flags:

Elision and generic transactions 		   (ELISION vs TRANSACTION)
(HLE vs RTM on TSX; IBM etc.  would likely only use TRANSACTION)
Aborts caused by current thread vs aborts caused by others (SYNC vs ASYNC)
Retryable transaction				   (RETRY)
Conflicts with other threads			   (CONFLICT)
Transaction write capacity overflow		   (CAPACITY WRITE)
Transaction read capacity overflow		   (CAPACITY READ)

Transactions implicitely aborted can also return an abort code.
This can be used to signal specific events to the profiler. A common
case is abort on lock busy in a RTM eliding library (code 0xff)
To handle this case we include the TSX abort code

Common example aborts in TSX would be:

- Data conflict with another thread on memory read.
                                      Flags: TRANSACTION|ASYNC|CONFLICT
- executing a WRMSR in a transaction. Flags: TRANSACTION|SYNC
- HLE transaction in user space is too large
                                      Flags: ELISION|SYNC|CAPACITY-WRITE

The only flag that is somewhat TSX specific is ELISION.

This adds the perf core glue needed for reporting the new flag word out.

v2: Add MEM/MISC
v3: Move transaction to the end
v4: Separate capacity-read/write and remove misc
v5: Remove _SAMPLE. Move abort flags to 32bit. Rename
    transaction to txn

Peter Zijlstra 9886167d20 perf: Fix perf_pmu_migrate_context
While auditing the list_entry usage due to a trinity bug I found that
perf_pmu_migrate_context violates the rules for
perf_event::event_entry.

The problem is that perf_event::event_entry is a RCU list element, and
hence we must wait for a full RCU grace period before re-using the
element after deletion.

Therefore the usage in perf_pmu_migrate_context() which re-uses the
entry immediately is broken. For now introduce another list_head into
perf_event for this specific usage.

This doesn't actually fix the trinity report because that never goes
through this code.

Peter Zijlstra fa73158710 perf: Fix capabilities bitfield compatibility in 'struct perf_event_mmap_page'
Solve the problems around the broken definition of perf_event_mmap_page::
cap_usr_time and cap_usr_rdpmc fields which used to overlap, partially
fixed by:

  860f085b74 ("perf: Fix broken union in 'struct perf_event_mmap_page'")

The problem with the fix (merged in v3.12-rc1 and not yet released
officially), noticed by Vince Weaver is that the new behavior is
not detectable by new user-space, and that due to the reuse of the
field names it's easy to mis-compile a binary if old headers are used
on a new kernel or new headers are used on an old kernel.

To solve all that make this change explicit, detectable and self-contained,
by iterating the ABI the following way:

 - Always clear bit 0, and rename it to usrpage->cap_bit0, to at least not
   confuse old user-space binaries. RDPMC will be marked as unavailable
   to old binaries but that's within the ABI, this is a capability bit.

 - Rename bit 1 to ->cap_bit0_is_deprecated and always set it to 1, so new
   libraries can reliably detect that bit 0 is deprecated and perma-zero
   without having to check the kernel version.

 - Use bits 2, 3, 4 for the newly defined, correct functionality:

	cap_user_rdpmc		: 1, /* The RDPMC instruction can be used to read counts */
	cap_user_time		: 1, /* The time_* fields are used */
	cap_user_time_zero	: 1, /* The time_zero field is used */

 - Rename all the bitfield names in perf_event.h to be different from the
   old names, to make sure it's not possible to mis-compile it
   accidentally with old assumptions.

The 'size' field can then be used in the future to add new fields and it
will act as a natural ABI version indicator as well.

Also adjust tools/perf/ userspace for the new definitions, noticed by
Adrian Hunter.

Linus Torvalds 32dad03d16 Merge branch 'for-3.12' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/cgroup
Pull cgroup updates from Tejun Heo:
 "A lot of activities on the cgroup front.  Most changes aren't visible
  to userland at all at this point and are laying foundation for the
  planned unified hierarchy.

   - The biggest change is decoupling the lifetime management of css
     (cgroup_subsys_state) from that of cgroup's.  Because controllers
     (cpu, memory, block and so on) will need to be dynamically enabled
     and disabled, css which is the association point between a cgroup
     and a controller may come and go dynamically across the lifetime of
     a cgroup.  Till now, css's were created when the associated cgroup
     was created and stayed till the cgroup got destroyed.

     Assumptions around this tight coupling permeated through cgroup
     core and controllers.  These assumptions are gradually removed,
     which consists bulk of patches, and css destruction path is
     completely decoupled from cgroup destruction path.  Note that
     decoupling of creation path is relatively easy on top of these
     changes and the patchset is pending for the next window.

   - cgroup has its own event mechanism cgroup.event_control, which is
     only used by memcg.  It is overly complex trying to achieve high
     flexibility whose benefits seem dubious at best.  Going forward,
     new events will simply generate file modified event and the
     existing mechanism is being made specific to memcg.  This pull
     request contains prepatory patches for such change.

   - Various fixes and cleanups"

Stephane Eranian 13d7a2410f perf: Add attr->mmap2 attribute to an event
Adds a new PERF_RECORD_MMAP2 record type which is essence
an expanded version of PERF_RECORD_MMAP.

Used to request mmap records with more information about
the mapping, including device major, minor and the inode
number and generation for mappings associated with files
or shared memory segments. Works for code and data
(with attr->mmap_data set).

Existing PERF_RECORD_MMAP record is unmodified by this patch.

  ---[ end trace 622b7e226c4a766a ]---

The reason is a race in perf_event_task_tick() throttling code.
The race flow (simplified code):

  - perf_throttled_count is per cpu variable and is
    CPU throttling flag, here starting with 0

  - perf_throttled_seq is sequence/domain for allowed
    count of interrupts within the tick, gets increased
    each tick

    on single CPU (CPU bounded event):

      ... workload

    perf_event_task_tick:
    |
    | T0    inc(perf_throttled_seq)
    | T1    needs_unthr = xchg(perf_throttled_count, 0) == 0
     tick gets interrupted:

            ... event gets throttled under new seq ...

      T2    last NMI comes, event is throttled - inc(perf_throttled_count)

     back to tick:
    | perf_adjust_freq_unthr_context:
    |
    | T3    unthrottling is skiped for event (needs_unthr == 0)
    | T4    event is stop and started via freq adjustment
    |
    tick ends

      ... workload
      ... no sample is hit for event ...

    perf_event_task_tick:
    |
    | T5    needs_unthr = xchg(perf_throttled_count, 0) != 0 (from T2)
    | T6    unthrottling is done on event (interrupts == MAX_INTERRUPTS)
    |       event is already started (from T4) -> WARN

Fixing this by not checking needs_unthr again and thus
check all events for unthrottling.

Adrian Hunter ff3d527ceb perf: make events stream always parsable
The event stream is not always parsable because the format of a sample
is dependent on the sample_type of the selected event.  When there is
more than one selected event and the sample_types are not the same then
parsing becomes problematic.  A sample can be matched to its selected
event using the ID that is allocated when the event is opened.
Unfortunately, to get the ID from the sample means first parsing it.

This patch adds a new sample format bit PERF_SAMPLE_IDENTIFER that puts
the ID at a fixed position so that the ID can be retrieved without
parsing the sample.  For sample events, that is the first position
immediately after the header.  For non-sample events, that is the last
position.

In this respect parsing samples requires that the sample_type and ID
values are recorded.  For example, perf tools records struct
perf_event_attr and the IDs within the perf.data file.  Those must be
read first before it is possible to parse samples found later in the
perf.data file.

Tejun Heo 35cf083619 cgroup: rename cgroup_css_from_dir() to css_from_dir() and update its syntax
cgroup_css_from_dir() will grow another user.  In preparation, make
the following changes.

* All css functions are prefixed with just "css_", rename it to
  css_from_dir().

* Take dentry * instead of file * as dentry is what ultimately
  identifies a cgroup and file may not always be available.  Note that
  the function now checkes whether @dentry->d_inode is NULL as the
  caller now may specify a negative dentry.

* Make it take cgroup_subsys * instead of integer subsys_id.  This
  simplifies the function and allows specifying no subsystem for
  cgroup->dummy_css.

* Make return section a bit less verbose.

This patch doesn't introduce any behavior changes.

Frederic Weisbecker 948b26b6dd perf: Account freq events globally
Freq events may not always be affine to a particular CPU. As such,
account_event_cpu() may crash if we account per cpu a freq event
that has event->cpu == -1.

To solve this, lets account freq events globally. In practice
this doesn't change much the picture because perf tools create
per-task perf events with one event per CPU by default. Profiling a
single CPU is usually a corner case so there is no much point in
optimizing things that way.

Frederic Weisbecker fc3b86d673 perf: Roll back callchain buffer refcount under the callchain mutex
When we fail to allocate the callchain buffers, we roll back the refcount
we did and return from get_callchain_buffers().

However we take the refcount and allocate under the callchain lock
but the rollback is done outside the lock.

As a result, while we roll back, some concurrent callchain user may
call get_callchain_buffers(), see the non-zero refcount and give up
because the buffers are NULL without itself retrying the allocation.

The consequences aren't that bad but that behaviour looks weird enough and
it's better to give their chances to the following callchain users where
we failed.

Tejun Heo d99c8727e7 cgroup: make cgroup_taskset deal with cgroup_subsys_state instead of cgroup
cgroup is in the process of converting to css (cgroup_subsys_state)
from cgroup as the principal subsystem interface handle.  This is
mostly to prepare for the unified hierarchy support where css's will
be created and destroyed dynamically but also helps cleaning up
subsystem implementations as css is usually what they are interested
in anyway.

cgroup_taskset which is used by the subsystem attach methods is the
last cgroup subsystem API which isn't using css as the handle.  Update
cgroup_taskset_cur_cgroup() to cgroup_taskset_cur_css() and
cgroup_taskset_for_each() to take @skip_css instead of @skip_cgrp.

The conversions are pretty mechanical.  One exception is
cpuset::cgroup_cs(), which lost its last user and got removed.

This patch shouldn't introduce any functional changes.

Tejun Heo eb95419b02 cgroup: pass around cgroup_subsys_state instead of cgroup in subsystem methods
cgroup is currently in the process of transitioning to using struct
cgroup_subsys_state * as the primary handle instead of struct cgroup *
in subsystem implementations for the following reasons.

* With unified hierarchy, subsystems will be dynamically bound and
  unbound from cgroups and thus css's (cgroup_subsys_state) may be
  created and destroyed dynamically over the lifetime of a cgroup,
  which is different from the current state where all css's are
  allocated and destroyed together with the associated cgroup.  This
  in turn means that cgroup_css() should be synchronized and may
  return NULL, making it more cumbersome to use.

* Differing levels of per-subsystem granularity in the unified
  hierarchy means that the task and descendant iterators should behave
  differently depending on the specific subsystem the iteration is
  being performed for.

* In majority of the cases, subsystems only care about its part in the
  cgroup hierarchy - ie. the hierarchy of css's.  Subsystem methods
  often obtain the matching css pointer from the cgroup and don't
  bother with the cgroup pointer itself.  Passing around css fits
  much better.

This patch converts all cgroup_subsys methods to take @css instead of
@cgroup.  The conversions are mostly straight-forward.  A few
noteworthy changes are

* ->css_alloc() now takes css of the parent cgroup rather than the
  pointer to the new cgroup as the css for the new cgroup doesn't
  exist yet.  Knowing the parent css is enough for all the existing
  subsystems.

* In kernel/cgroup.c::offline_css(), unnecessary open coded css
  dereference is replaced with local variable access.

This patch shouldn't cause any behavior differences.

v2: Unnecessary explicit cgrp->subsys[] deref in css_online() replaced
    with local variable @css as suggested by Li Zefan.

    Rebased on top of new for-3.12 which includes for-3.11-fixes so
    that ->css_free() invocation added by da0a12caff ("cgroup: fix a
    leak when percpu_ref_init() fails") is converted too.  Suggested
    by Li Zefan.

Tejun Heo 8af01f56a0 cgroup: s/cgroup_subsys_state/cgroup_css/ s/task_subsys_state/task_css/
The names of the two struct cgroup_subsys_state accessors -
cgroup_subsys_state() and task_subsys_state() - are somewhat awkward.
The former clashes with the type name and the latter doesn't even
indicate it's somehow related to cgroup.

We're about to revamp large portion of cgroup API, so, let's rename
them so that they're less awkward.  Most per-controller usages of the
accessors are localized in accessor wrappers and given the amount of
scheduled changes, this isn't gonna add any noticeable headache.

Rename cgroup_subsys_state() to cgroup_css() and task_subsys_state()
to task_css().  This patch is pure rename.

Jiri Olsa cf4957f17f perf: Add PERF_EVENT_IOC_ID ioctl to return event ID
The only way to get the event ID is by reading the event fd,
followed by parsing the ID value out of the returned data.

While this is ok for current read format used by perf tool,
it is not ok when we use PERF_FORMAT_GROUP format.

With this format the data are returned for the whole group
and there's no way to find out what ID belongs to our fd
(if we are not group leader event).

Adding a simple ioctl that returns event primary ID for given fd.

Frederic Weisbecker d84153d6c9 perf: Implement finer grained full dynticks kick
Currently the full dynticks subsystem keep the
tick alive as long as there are perf events running.

This prevents the tick from being stopped as long as features
such that the lockup detectors are running. As a temporary fix,
the lockup detector is disabled by default when full dynticks
is built but this is not a long term viable solution.

To fix this, only keep the tick alive when an event configured
with a frequency rather than a period is running on the CPU,
or when an event throttles on the CPU.

These are the only purposes of the perf tick, especially now that
the rotation of flexible events is handled from a seperate hrtimer.
The tick can be shutdown the rest of the time.

Frederic Weisbecker 90983b1607 perf: Sanitize get_callchain_buffer()
In case of allocation failure, get_callchain_buffer() keeps the
refcount incremented for the current event.

As a result, when get_callchain_buffers() returns an error,
we must cleanup what it did by cancelling its last refcount
with a call to put_callchain_buffers().

This is a hack in order to be able to call free_event()
after that failure.

The original purpose of that was to simplify the failure
path. But this error handling is actually counter intuitive,
ugly and not very easy to follow because one expect to
see the resources used to perform a service to be cleaned
by the callee if case of failure, not by the caller.

So lets clean this up by cancelling the refcount from
get_callchain_buffer() in case of failure. And correctly free
the event accordingly in perf_event_alloc().

Frederic Weisbecker 6050cb0b0b perf: Fix branch stack refcount leak on callchain init failure
On callchain buffers allocation failure, free_event() is
called and all the accounting performed in perf_event_alloc()
for that event is cancelled.

But if the event has branch stack sampling, it is unaccounted
as well from the branch stack sampling events refcounts.

This is a bug because this accounting is performed after the
callchain buffer allocation. As a result, the branch stack sampling
events refcount can become negative.

To fix this, move the branch stack event accounting before the
callchain buffer allocation.

 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

Paul Gortmaker 0db0628d90 kernel: delete __cpuinit usage from all core kernel files
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.

Paul was quick to explain that due to preemptible RCU we cannot call
rcu_read_unlock() while holding scheduler (or nested) locks when part
of the read side critical section was preemptible.

Therefore solve it by making the entire RCU read side non-preemptible.

Also pull out the retry from under the non-preempt to play nice with RT.

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.

Jiri Olsa 734df5ab54 perf: Clone child context from parent context pmu
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.

Addresses the following warning reported by Vince Weaver:

Dave Hansen 14c63f17b1 perf: Drop sample rate when sampling is too slow
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.

Oleg Nesterov bde96030f4 hw_breakpoint: Introduce "struct bp_cpuinfo"
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].

The enable/disable logic in toggle_bp_slot() is not symmetrical

actually new_count because this bp was already removed from the

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.

Oleg Nesterov 8b4d801b2b hw_breakpoint: Fix cpu check in task_bp_pinned(cpu)
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.

When an event had redirected output and its close() was the last

Change the code to destroy the buffer on the last munmap() and detach
all redirected events at that time. This provides us the right context

Peter Zijlstra 26cb63ad11 perf: Fix perf mmap bugs
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.

In the 4th version, we renamed the sysfs file to be more consistent

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

Stephane Eranian 9e6302056f perf: Use hrtimers for event multiplexing
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.

Jiri Olsa 52d857a878 perf: Factor out auxiliary events notification
Add perf_event_aux() function to send out all types of
auxiliary events - mmap, task, comm events. For each type
there's match and output functions defined and used as
callbacks during perf_event_aux processing.

This way we can centralize the pmu/context iterating and
event matching logic. Also since lot of the code was
duplicated, this patch reduces the .text size about 2kB
on my setup:

  snipped output from 'objdump -x kernel/events/core.o'

  before:
  Idx Name          Size
    0 .text         0000d313

Jiri Olsa 524eff183f perf: Fix EXIT event notification
The perf_event_task_ctx() function needs to be called with
preemption disabled, since it's checking for currently
scheduled cpu against event cpu.

We disable preemption for task related perf event context
if there's one defined, leaving up to the chance which cpu
it gets scheduled in.

Linus Torvalds 534c97b095 Merge branch 'timers-nohz-for-linus' of 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.

Jiri Olsa 5919b30933 perf: Fix vmalloc ring buffer pages handling
If we allocate perf ring buffer with the size of single (user)
page, we will get memory corruption when releasing itin
rb_free_work function (for CONFIG_PERF_USE_VMALLOC option).

For single page sized ring buffer the page_order is -1 (because
nr_pages is 0). This needs to be recognized in the rb_free_work
function to release proper amount of pages.

Adding data_page_nr function that returns number of allocated
data pages. Customizing the rest of the code to use it.

Linus Torvalds 191a712090 Merge branch 'for-3.10' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/cgroup
Pull cgroup updates from Tejun Heo:

 - Fixes and a lot of cleanups.  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.

Fix up conflicts (including a semantic one adding a new #include to ppc
that was uncovered by header the file changes) as per Tejun.

Tommi Rantala 8176cced70 perf: Treat attr.config as u64 in perf_swevent_init()
Trinity discovered that we fail to check all 64 bits of

access of the perf_swevent_enabled array in
sw_perf_event_destroy().

Introduced in commit b0a873ebb ("perf: Register PMU

Anton Arapov ded49c5530 uretprobes: Limit the depth of return probe nestedness
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.

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

Tejun Heo ef824fa129 perf: make perf_event cgroup hierarchical
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.

Some architectures like powerpc have multiple variants of the trap
instruction. Introduce an additional helper is_trap_insn() for run-time
handling of non-uprobe traps on such architectures.

While there, change is_swbp_at_addr() to is_trap_at_addr() for reading
clarity.

With this change, the uprobe registration path will supercede any trap
instruction inserted at the requested location, while taking care of
delivering the SIGTRAP for cases where the trap notification came in
for an address without a uprobe. See [1] for a more detailed explanation.

Andi Kleen c3feedf2aa perf/core: Add weighted samples
For some events it's useful to weight sample with a hardware
provided number. This expresses how expensive the action the
sample represent was.  This allows the profiler to scale
the samples to be more informative to the programmer.

There is already the period which is used similarly, but it
means something different, so I chose to not overload it.
Instead a new sample type for WEIGHT is added.

Can be used for multiple things. Initially it is used for TSX
abort costs and profiling by memory latencies (so to make
expensive load appear higher up in the histograms). The concept
is quite generic and can be extended to many other kinds of
events or architectures, as long as the hardware provides
suitable auxillary values. In principle it could be also used
for software tracepoints.

This adds the generic glue. A new optional sample format for a
64-bit weight value.

Stephane Eranian dd9c086d9f perf: Fix ring_buffer perf_output_space() boundary calculation
This patch fixes a flaw in perf_output_space(). In case the size
of the space needed is bigger than the actual buffer size, there
may be situations where the function would return true (i.e.,
there is space) when it should not. head > offset due to
rounding of the masking logic.

The problem can be tested by activating BTS on Intel processors.
A BTS record can be as big as 16 pages. The following command
fails:

  $ perf record -m 4 -c 1 -e branches:u my_test_program

You will get a buffer corruption with this. Perf report won't be
able to parse the perf.data.

The fix is to first check that the requested space is smaller
than the buffer size. If so, then the masking logic will work
fine. If not, then there is no chance the record can be saved
and it will be gracefully handled by upper code layers.

[ In v2, we also make the logic for the writable more explicit by
  renaming it to rb->overwrite because it tells whether or not the
  buffer can overwrite its tail (suggested by PeterZ). ]

Sasha Levin b67bfe0d42 hlist: drop the node parameter from iterators
I'm not sure why, but the hlist for each entry iterators were conceived

        list_for_each_entry(pos, head, member)

The hlist ones were greedy and wanted an extra parameter:

        hlist_for_each_entry(tpos, pos, head, member)

Why did they need an extra pos parameter? I'm not quite sure. Not only
they don't really need it, it also prevents the iterator from looking
exactly like the list iterator, which is unfortunate.

Besides the semantic patch, there was some manual work required:

 - Fix up the actual hlist iterators in linux/list.h
 - Fix up the declaration of other iterators based on the hlist ones.
 - A very small amount of places were using the 'node' parameter, this
 was modified to use 'obj->member' instead.
 - Coccinelle didn't handle the hlist_for_each_entry_safe iterator
 properly, so those had to be fixed up manually.

The semantic patch which is mostly the work of Peter Senna Tschudin is here:

Linus Torvalds d895cb1af1 Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs
Pull vfs pile (part one) from Al Viro:
 "Assorted stuff - cleaning namei.c up a bit, fixing ->d_name/->d_parent
  locking violations, etc.

  The most visible changes here are death of FS_REVAL_DOT (replaced with
  "has ->d_weak_revalidate()") and a new helper getting from struct file
  to inode.  Some bits of preparation to xattr method interface changes.

  Misc patches by various people sent this cycle *and* ocfs2 fixes from
  several cycles ago that should've been upstream right then.

  PS: the next vfs pile will be xattr stuff."

Linus Torvalds 8f55cea410 Merge branch 'perf-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull perf changes from Ingo Molnar:
 "There are lots of improvements, the biggest changes are:

  Main kernel side changes:

   - Improve uprobes performance by adding 'pre-filtering' support, by
     Oleg Nesterov.

   - Make some POWER7 events available in sysfs, equivalent to what was
     done on x86, from Sukadev Bhattiprolu.

   - tracing updates by Steve Rostedt - mostly misc fixes and smaller
     improvements.

   - Use perf/event tracing to report PCI Express advanced errors, by
     Tony Luck.

   - Enable northbridge performance counters on AMD family 15h, by Jacob
     Shin.

   - This tracing commit:

        tracing: Remove the extra 4 bytes of padding in events

     changes the ABI.  All involved parties (PowerTop in particular)
     seem to agree that it's safe to do now with the introduction of
     libtraceevent, but the devil is in the details ...

  Main tooling side changes:

   - Add 'event group view', from Namyung Kim:

     To use it, 'perf record' should group events when recording.  And
     then perf report parses the saved group relation from file header
     and prints them together if --group option is provided.  You can
     use the 'perf evlist' command to see event group information:

        $ perf record -e '{ref-cycles,cycles}' noploop 1
        [ perf record: Woken up 2 times to write data ]
        [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.385 MB perf.data (~16807 samples) ]

        $ perf evlist --group
        {ref-cycles,cycles}

     With this example, default perf report will show you each event
     separately.

     You can use --group option to enable event group view:

        $ perf report --group
        ...
        # group: {ref-cycles,cycles}
        # ========
        # Samples: 7K of event 'anon group { ref-cycles, cycles }'
        # Event count (approx.): 6876107743
        #
        #         Overhead  Command      Shared Object                      Symbol
        # ................  .......  .................  ..........................
            99.84%  99.76%  noploop  noploop            [.] main
             0.07%   0.00%  noploop  ld-2.15.so         [.] strcmp
             0.03%   0.00%  noploop  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] timerqueue_del
             0.03%   0.03%  noploop  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] sched_clock_cpu
             0.02%   0.00%  noploop  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] account_user_time
             0.01%   0.00%  noploop  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] __alloc_pages_nodemask
             0.00%   0.00%  noploop  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] native_write_msr_safe
             0.00%   0.11%  noploop  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] _raw_spin_lock
             0.00%   0.06%  noploop  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] find_get_page
             0.00%   0.02%  noploop  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] rcu_check_callbacks
             0.00%   0.02%  noploop  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] __current_kernel_time

     As you can see the Overhead column now contains both of ref-cycles
     and cycles and header line shows group information also - 'anon
     group { ref-cycles, cycles }'.  The output is sorted by period of
     group leader first.

   - Initial GTK+ annotate browser, from Namhyung Kim.

   - Add option for runtime switching perf data file in perf report,
     just press 's' and a menu with the valid files found in the current
     directory will be presented, from Feng Tang.

   - Add support to display whole group data for raw columns, from Jiri
     Olsa.

   - Add per processor socket count aggregation in perf stat, from
     Stephane Eranian.

   - Add interval printing in 'perf stat', from Stephane Eranian.

   - 'perf test' improvements

   - Add support for wildcards in tracepoint system name, from Jiri
     Olsa.

   - Add anonymous huge page recognition, from Joshua Zhu.

   - perf build-id cache now can show DSOs present in a perf.data file
     that are not in the cache, to integrate with build-id servers being
     put in place by organizations such as Fedora.

   - perf top now shares more of the evsel config/creation routines with
     'record', paving the way for further integration like 'top'
     snapshots, etc.

   - perf top now supports DWARF callchains.

   - Fix mmap limitations on 32-bit, fix from David Miller.

   - 'perf bench numa mem' NUMA performance measurement suite

   - ... and lots of fixes, performance improvements, cleanups and other
     improvements I failed to list - see the shortlog and git log for
     details."
