Pull KVM changes from Avi Kivity: "Changes include additional instruction emulation, page-crossing MMIO, faster dirty logging, preventing the watchdog from killing a stopped guest, module autoload, a new MSI ABI, and some minor optimizations and fixes. Outside x86 we have a small s390 and a very large ppc update. Regarding the new (for kvm) rebaseless workflow, some of the patches that were merged before we switch trees had to be rebased, while others are true pulls. In either case the signoffs should be correct now." Fix up trivial conflicts in Documentation/feature-removal-schedule.txt arch/powerpc/kvm/book3s_segment.S and arch/x86/include/asm/kvm_para.h.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip Pull user-space probe instrumentation from Ingo Molnar: "The uprobes code originates from SystemTap and has been used for years in Fedora and RHEL kernels. This version is much rewritten, reviews from PeterZ, Oleg and myself shaped the end result. This tree includes uprobes support in 'perf probe' - but SystemTap (and other tools) can take advantage of user probe points as well. Sample usage of uprobes via perf, for example to profile malloc() calls without modifying user-space binaries. First boot a new kernel with CONFIG_UPROBE_EVENT=y enabled. If you don't know which function you want to probe you can pick one from 'perf top' or can get a list all functions that can be probed within libc (binaries can be specified as well): $ perf probe -F -x /lib/libc.so.6 To probe libc's malloc(): $ perf probe -x /lib64/libc.so.6 malloc Added new event: probe_libc:malloc (on 0x7eac0) You can now use it in all perf tools, such as: perf record -e probe_libc:malloc -aR sleep 1 Make use of it to create a call graph (as the flat profile is going to look very boring): $ perf record -e probe_libc:malloc -gR make [ perf record: Woken up 173 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 44.190 MB perf.data (~1930712 $ perf report | less 32.03% git libc-2.15.so [.] malloc | --- malloc 29.49% cc1 libc-2.15.so [.] malloc | --- malloc | |--0.95%-- 0x208eb1000000000 | |--0.63%-- htab_traverse_noresize 11.04% as libc-2.15.so [.] malloc | --- malloc | 7.15% ld libc-2.15.so [.] malloc | --- malloc | 5.07% sh libc-2.15.so [.] malloc | --- malloc | 4.99% python-config libc-2.15.so [.] malloc | --- malloc | 4.54% make libc-2.15.so [.] malloc | --- malloc | |--7.34%-- glob | | | |--93.18%-- 0x41588f | | | --6.82%-- glob | 0x41588f ...

The core uprobes design is fairly straightforward: uprobes probe points register themselves at (inode:offset) addresses of libraries/binaries, after which all existing (or new) vmas that map that address will have a software breakpoint injected at that address. vmas are COW-ed to preserve original content. The probe points are kept in an rbtree. If user-space executes the probed inode:offset instruction address then an event is generated which can be recovered from the regular perf event channels and mmap-ed ring-buffer. Multiple probes at the same address are supported, they create a dynamic callback list of event consumers. The basic model is further complicated by the XOL speedup: the original instruction that is probed is copied (in an architecture specific fashion) and executed out of line when the probe triggers. The XOL area is a single vma per process, with a fixed number of entries (which limits probe execution parallelism). The API: uprobes are installed/removed via /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/uprobe_events, the API is integrated to align with the kprobes interface as much as possible, but is separate to it. Injecting a probe point is privileged operation, which can be relaxed by setting perf_paranoid to -1. You can use multiple probes as well and mix them with kprobes and regular PMU events or tracepoints, when instrumenting a task."

2012-05-24mm: add a low limit to alloc_large_system_hashTim Bird
UDP stack needs a minimum hash size value for proper operation and also uses alloc_large_system_hash() for proper NUMA distribution of its hash tables and automatic sizing depending on available system memory. On some low memory situations, udp_table_init() must ignore the alloc_large_system_hash() result and reallocs a bigger memory area. As we cannot easily free old hash table, we leak it and kmemleak can issue a warning. This patch adds a low limit parameter to alloc_large_system_hash() to solve this problem. We then specify UDP_HTABLE_SIZE_MIN for UDP/UDPLite hash table allocation.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace Pull user namespace enhancements from Eric Biederman: "This is a course correction for the user namespace, so that we can reach an inexpensive, maintainable, and reasonably complete implementation. Highlights: - Config guards make it impossible to enable the user namespace and code that has not been converted to be user namespace safe. - Use of the new kuid_t type ensures the if you somehow get past the config guards the kernel will encounter type errors if you enable user namespaces and attempt to compile in code whose permission checks have not been updated to be user namespace safe. - All uids from child user namespaces are mapped into the initial user namespace before they are processed. Removing the need to add an additional check to see if the user namespace of the compared uids remains the same. - With the user namespaces compiled out the performance is as good or better than it is today. - For most operations absolutely nothing changes performance or operationally with the user namespace enabled. - The worst case performance I could come up with was timing 1 billion cache cold stat operations with the user namespace code enabled. This went from 156s to 164s on my laptop (or 156ns to 164ns per stat operation). - (uid_t)-1 and (gid_t)-1 are reserved as an internal error value. Most uid/gid setting system calls treat these value specially anyway so attempting to use -1 as a uid would likely cause entertaining failures in userspace. - If setuid is called with a uid that can not be mapped setuid fails. I have looked at sendmail, login, ssh and every other program I could think of that would call setuid and they all check for and handle the case where setuid fails. - If stat or a similar system call is called from a context in which we can not map a uid we lie and return overflowuid. The LFS experience suggests not lying and returning an error code might be better, but the historical precedent with uids is different and I can not think of anything that would break by lying about a uid we can't map. - Capabilities are localized to the current user namespace making it safe to give the initial user in a user namespace all capabilities.

This is achieved by the architecture enabling BUILDTIME_EXTABLE_SORT. This option is enabled for x86 and MIPS currently. On x86 a number of fixes and changes were needed to allow build-time sorting of the exception table, in particular a relocation invariant exception table format was needed. This required the abstracting out of exception table protocol and the removal of 20 years of accumulated assumptions about the x86 exception table format. While at it, this tree also cleans up various other aspects of exception handling, such as early(er) exception handling for rdmsr_safe() et al. All in one, as the result of these changes the x86 exception code is now pretty nice and modern.

2012-05-23Revert "sched, perf: Use a single callback into the scheduler"Jiri Olsa
This reverts commit cb04ff9ac424 ("sched, perf: Use a single callback into the scheduler"). Before this change was introduced, the process switch worked like this (wrt. to perf event schedule): schedule (prev, next) - schedule out all perf events for prev - switch to next - schedule in all perf events for current (next) After the commit, the process switch looks like: schedule (prev, next) - schedule out all perf events for prev - schedule in all perf events for (next) - switch to next The problem is, that after we schedule perf events in, the pmu is enabled and we can receive events even before we make the switch to next - so "current" still being prev process (event SAMPLE data are filled based on the value of the "current" process). Thats exactly what we see for test__PERF_RECORD test. We receive SAMPLES with PID of the process that our tracee is scheduled from. Discussed with Peter Zijlstra: > Bah!, yeah I guess reverting is the right thing for now. Sad > though. > > So by having the two hooks we have a black-spot between them > where we receive no events at all, this black-spot covers the > hand-over of current and we thus don't receive the 'wrong' > events. > > I rather liked we could do away with both that black-spot and > clean up the code a little, but apparently people rely on it.

2012-05-21timers: Fixup the Kconfig consolidation falloutThomas Gleixner
Sigh, I missed to check which architecture Kconfig files actually include the core Kconfig file. There are a few which did not. So we broke them. Instead of adding the includes to those, we are better off to move the include to init/Kconfig like we did already with irqs and others. This does not change anything for the architectures using the old style periodic timer mode. It just solves the build wreckage there. For those architectures which use the clock events infrastructure it moves the include of the core Kconfig file to "General setup" which is a way more logical place than having it at random locations specified by the architecture specific Kconfigs.

2012-05-19irqdomain: Make irq_domain_simple_map() static.Paul Mundt
Presently irq_domain_simple_map() isn't labelled as static, but there's no definition for it in the public irqdomain header either. At present all in-tree ->map users have meaningful work to do, and all others are using irq_domain_simple_ops directly. Make it static for now, as it can always be exported and added to the public API later. Signed-off-by: Paul Mundt <lethal@linux-sh.org> Signed-off-by: Grant Likely <grant.likely@secretlab.ca>
2012-05-19irqdomain: Export remaining public API symbols.Paul Mundt
modules making use of irq domains at the very least need access to the add/remove/lookup routines, though there's nothing preventing them from using the remainder of the public API, either. The current set of exports seem primarily geared at DT-enabled platforms using DT-backed IRQ domains, where many of the API accesses are hidden away in OF code. The non-DT cases need to do most of this on their own. Signed-off-by: Paul Mundt <lethal@linux-sh.org> Signed-off-by: Grant Likely <grant.likely@secretlab.ca>
2012-05-19irqdomain: Support removal of IRQ domains.Paul Mundt
Now that IRQ domains are being used by modules it's necessary to support removing them, too. This adds a new irq_domain_remove() routine for doing the bulk of the heavy lifting. It's left as an exercise to the caller to ensure all mappings have been appropriatey disposed of before attempting to remove the domain.

2012-05-18PM / Hibernate: Use get_gendisk to verify partition if resume_file is ↵Minho Ban
integer format Sometimes resume= parameter comes in integer style (e.g. major:minor) and then name_to_dev_t can not detect partition properly. (especially async device like usb, mmc). This patch calls get_gendisk() if resumewait is true and resume_file is in integer format to work around this problem. Signed-off-by: Minho Ban <mhban@samsung.com> Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

2012-05-18Merge remote-tracking branch 'tip/perf/urgent' into perf/coreArnaldo Carvalho de Melo
Merge reason: We are going to queue up a dependent patch: "perf tools: Move parse event automated tests to separated object" That depends on: commit e7c72d8 perf tools: Add 'G' and 'H' modifiers to event parsing Conflicts: tools/perf/builtin-stat.c Conflicted with the recent 'perf_target' patches when checking the result of perf_evsel open routines to see if a retry is needed to cope with older kernels where the exclude guest/host perf_event_attr bits were not used.
