perf probe: Add group name support
Allow user to set group name for adding new event. Note that user must
ensure that the group name doesn't conflict with existing group name
carefully.
E.g. Existing group name can conflict with other events. Especially,
using the group name reserved for kernel modules can hide kernel
embedded events when loading modules.

perf sdt: ELF support for SDT
This patch serves the initial support to identify and list SDT events in
binaries. When programs containing SDT markers are compiled, gcc with
the help of assembler directives identifies them and places them in the
section ".note.stapsdt".
To find these markers from the binaries, one needs to traverse through
this section and parse the relevant details like the name, type and
location of the marker. Also, the original location could be skewed due
to the effect of prelinking. If that is the case, the locations need to
be adjusted.
The functions in this patch open a given ELF, find out the SDT section,
parse the relevant details, adjust the location (if necessary) and
populate them in a list.
A typical note entry in ".note.stapsdt" section is as follows :
|--nhdr.n_namesz--|
------------------------------------
| nhdr | "stapsdt" |
----- |----------------------------------|
| | <location> <base_address> |
| | <semaphore> |
nhdr.n_descsize | "provider_name" "note_name" |
| | <args> |
----- |----------------------------------|
| nhdr | "stapsdt" |
|...
The above shows an excerpt from the section ".note.stapsdt". 'nhdr' is
a structure which has the note name size (n_namesz), note description
size (n_desc_sz) and note type (n_type).
So, in order to parse the note note info, we need nhdr to tell us where
to start from. As can be seen from <sys/sdt.h>, the name of the SDT
notes given is "stapsdt". But this is not the identifier of the note.
After that, we go to description of the note to find out its location, the
address of the ".stapsdt.base" section and the semaphore address.
Then, we find the provider name and the SDT marker name and then follow the
arguments.

perf probe: Remove caches when --cache is given
'perf probe --del' removes caches when '--cache' is given. Note that
the delete pattern is not the same as for normal events.
If you cached probes with event name, --del "eventname" works as
expected. However, if you skipped it, the cached probes doesn't have
actual event name. In that case --del "probe-desc" is required (wildcard
is acceptable). For example a cache entry has the probe-desc "vfs_read
$params", you can remove it with --del 'vfs_read*'.

perf/x86/intel: Fix MSR_LAST_BRANCH_FROM_x bug when no TSX
Intel's SDM states that bits 61:62 in MSR_LAST_BRANCH_FROM_x are the
TSX flags for formats with LBR_TSX flags (i.e. LBR_FORMAT_EIP_EFLAGS2).
However, when the CPU has TSX support deactivated, bits 61:62 actually
behave as follows:
- For wrmsr(), bits 61:62 are considered part of the sign extension.
- When capturing branches, the LBR hw will always clear bits 61:62.
regardless of the sign extension.
Therefore, if:
1) LBR has TSX format.
2) CPU has no TSX support enabled.
... then any value passed to wrmsr() must be sign extended to 63 bits
and any value from rdmsr() must be converted to have a sign extension
of 61 bits, ignoring the values at TSX flags.
This bug was masked by the work-around to the Intel's CPU bug:
BJ94. "LBR May Contain Incorrect Information When Using FREEZE_LBRS_ON_PMI"
in Document Number: 324643-037US.
The aforementioned work-around uses hw flags to filter out all kernel
branches, limiting LBR callstack to user level execution only.
Since user addresses are not sign extended, they do not trigger the wrmsr()
bug in MSR_LAST_BRANCH_FROM_x when saved/restored at context switch.
To verify the hw bug:
$ perf record -b -e cycles sleep 1
$ rdmsr -p 0 0x680
0x1fffffffb0b9b0cc
$ wrmsr -p 0 0x680 0x1fffffffb0b9b0cc
write(): Input/output error
The quirk for LBR_FROM_ MSRs is required before calls to wrmsrl() and
after rdmsrl().
This patch introduces it for wrmsrl()'s done for testing LBR support.
Future patch in series adds the quirk for context switch, that would
be required if LBR callstack is to be enabled for ring 0.

perf/x86/intel: Print LBR support statement after validation
The following commit:
338b522ca43c ("perf/x86/intel: Protect LBR and extra_regs against KVM lying")
added an additional test to LBR support detection that is performed after
printing the LBR support statement to dmesg.
Move the LBR support output after the very last test, to make sure we
print the true status of LBR support.

Btrfs: fix ->iterate_shared() by upgrading i_rwsem for delayed nodes
Commit
fe742fd4f90f ("Revert "btrfs: switch to ->iterate_shared()"")
backed out the conversion to ->iterate_shared() for Btrfs because the
delayed inode handling in btrfs_real_readdir() is racy. However, we can
still do readdir in parallel if there are no delayed nodes.
This is a temporary fix which upgrades the shared inode lock to an
exclusive lock only when we have delayed items until we come up with a
more complete solution. While we're here, rename the
btrfs_{get,put}_delayed_items functions to make it very clear that
they're just for readdir.
Tested with xfstests and by doing a parallel kernel build:
while make tinyconfig && make -j4 && git clean dqfx; do
:
done
along with a bunch of parallel finds in another shell:
while true; do
for ((i=0; i<4; i++)); do
find . >/dev/null &
done

fs/nilfs2: fix potential underflow in call to crc32_le
The value `bytes' comes from the filesystem which is about to be
mounted. We cannot trust that the value is always in the range we
expect it to be.

call. It value must be larger (or equal) sumoff + 4.

oom, suspend: fix oom_reaper vs. oom_killer_disable race
Tetsuo has reported the following potential oom_killer_disable vs.
oom_reaper race:
(1) freeze_processes() starts freezing user space threads.
(2) Somebody (maybe a kenrel thread) calls out_of_memory().
(3) The OOM killer calls mark_oom_victim() on a user space thread
P1 which is already in __refrigerator().
(4) oom_killer_disable() sets oom_killer_disabled = true.
(5) P1 leaves __refrigerator() and enters do_exit().
(6) The OOM reaper calls exit_oom_victim(P1) before P1 can call
exit_oom_victim(P1).
(7) oom_killer_disable() returns while P1 not yet finished
(8) P1 perform IO/interfere with the freezer.
This situation is unfortunate. We cannot move oom_killer_disable after
all the freezable kernel threads are frozen because the oom victim might
depend on some of those kthreads to make a forward progress to exit so
we could deadlock. It is also far from trivial to teach the oom_reaper
to not call exit_oom_victim() because then we would lose a guarantee of
the OOM killer and oom_killer_disable forward progress because
exit_mm->mmput might block and never call exit_oom_victim.
It seems the easiest way forward is to workaround this race by calling
try_to_freeze_tasks again after oom_killer_disable. This will make sure
that all the tasks are frozen or it bails out.

According to some high-load testing, these two BUG assertions were

1) use the existing macro CATCH_BH_JBD_RACES to wrap BUG() in the

2) disable the macro CATCH_BH_JBD_RACES in Makefile by default.

mm, compaction: abort free scanner if split fails
If the memory compaction free scanner cannot successfully split a free
page (only possible due to per-zone low watermark), terminate the free
scanner rather than continuing to scan memory needlessly. If the
watermark is insufficient for a free page of order <= cc->order, then
terminate the scanner since all future splits will also likely fail.
This prevents the compaction freeing scanner from scanning all memory on
very large zones (very noticeable for zones > 128GB, for instance) when
all splits will likely fail while holding zone->lock.
compaction_alloc() iterating a 128GB zone has been benchmarked to take
over 400ms on some systems whereas any free page isolated and ready to
be split ends up failing in split_free_page() because of the low
watermark check and thus the iteration continues.
The next time compaction occurs, the freeing scanner will likely start
at the end of the zone again since no success was made previously and we
get the same lengthy iteration until the zone is brought above the low
watermark. All thp page faults can take >400ms in such a state without
this fix.

mm/hugetlb: clear compound_mapcount when freeing gigantic pages
While working on s390 support for gigantic hugepages I ran into the
following "Bad page state" warning when freeing gigantic pages:
BUG: Bad page state in process bash pfn:580001
page:
000003d116000040 count:0 mapcount:0 mapping:
ffffffff00000000 index:0x0
flags: 0x7fffc0000000000()
page dumped because: non-NULL mapping
This is because page->compound_mapcount, which is part of a union with
page->mapping, is initialized with -1 in prep_compound_gigantic_page(),
and not cleared again during destroy_compound_gigantic_page(). Fix this
by clearing the compound_mapcount in destroy_compound_gigantic_page()
before clearing compound_head.
Interestingly enough, the warning will not show up on x86_64, although
this should not be architecture specific. Apparently there is an
endianness issue, combined with the fact that the union contains both a
64 bit ->mapping pointer and a 32 bit atomic_t ->compound_mapcount as
members. The resulting bogus page->mapping on x86_64 therefore contains
00000000ffffffff instead of
ffffffff00000000 on s390, which will falsely
trigger the PageAnon() check in free_pages_prepare() because
page->mapping & PAGE_MAPPING_ANON is true on little-endian architectures
like x86_64 in this case (the page is not compound anymore,
->compound_head was already cleared before). As a result, page->mapping
will be cleared before doing the checks in free_pages_check().
Not sure if the bogus "PageAnon() returning true" on x86_64 for the
first tail page of a gigantic page (at this stage) has other theoretical
implications, but they would also be fixed with this patch.

mm/swap.c: flush lru pvecs on compound page arrival
Currently we can have compound pages held on per cpu pagevecs, which
leads to a lot of memory unavailable for reclaim when needed. In the
systems with hundreads of processors it can be GBs of memory.
On of the way of reproducing the problem is to not call munmap
explicitly on all mapped regions (i.e. after receiving SIGTERM). After
that some pages (with THP enabled also huge pages) may end up on
lru_add_pvec, example below.
void main() {
#pragma omp parallel
{
size_t size = 55 * 1000 * 1000; // smaller than MEM/CPUS
void *p = mmap(NULL, size, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE,
MAP_PRIVATE | MAP_ANONYMOUS , -1, 0);
if (p != MAP_FAILED)
memset(p, 0, size);
//munmap(p, size); // uncomment to make the problem go away
}
}
When we run it with THP enabled it will leave significant amount of
memory on lru_add_pvec. This memory will be not reclaimed if we hit
OOM, so when we run above program in a loop:
for i in `seq 100`; do ./a.out; done
many processes (95% in my case) will be killed by OOM.
The primary point of the LRU add cache is to save the zone lru_lock
contention with a hope that more pages will belong to the same zone and
so their addition can be batched. The huge page is already a form of
batched addition (it will add 512 worth of memory in one go) so skipping
the batching seems like a safer option when compared to a potential
excess in the caching which can be quite large and much harder to fix
because lru_add_drain_all is way to expensive and it is not really clear
what would be a good moment to call it.
Similarly we can reproduce the problem on lru_deactivate_pvec by adding:
madvise(p, size, MADV_FREE); after memset.
This patch flushes lru pvecs on compound page arrival making the problem
less severe - after applying it kill rate of above example drops to 0%,
due to reducing maximum amount of memory held on pvec from 28MB (with
THP) to 56kB per CPU.

mm, sl[au]b: add __GFP_ATOMIC to the GFP reclaim mask
Commit
d0164adc89f6 ("mm, page_alloc: distinguish between being unable
to sleep, unwilling to sleep and avoiding waking kswapd") modified
__GFP_WAIT to explicitly identify the difference between atomic callers
and those that were unwilling to sleep. Later the definition was
removed entirely.
The GFP_RECLAIM_MASK is the set of flags that affect watermark checking
and reclaim behaviour but __GFP_ATOMIC was never added. Without it,
atomic users of the slab allocator strip the __GFP_ATOMIC flag and
cannot access the page allocator atomic reserves. This patch addresses
the problem.
The user-visible impact depends on the workload but potentially atomic
allocations unnecessarily fail without this path.

mm: mempool: kasan: don't poot mempool objects in quarantine
Currently we may put reserved by mempool elements into quarantine via
kasan_kfree(). This is totally wrong since quarantine may really free
these objects. So when mempool will try to use such element,
use-after-free will happen. Or mempool may decide that it no longer
need that element and double-free it.
So don't put object into quarantine in kasan_kfree(), just poison it.
Rename kasan_kfree() to kasan_poison_kfree() to respect that.
Also, we shouldn't use kasan_slab_alloc()/kasan_krealloc() in
kasan_unpoison_element() because those functions may update allocation
stacktrace. This would be wrong for the most of the remove_element call
sites.
(The only call site where we may want to update alloc stacktrace is
in mempool_alloc(). Kmemleak solves this by calling
kmemleak_update_trace(), so we could make something like that too.
But this is out of scope of this patch).

jbd2: get rid of superfluous __GFP_REPEAT
jbd2_alloc is explicit about its allocation preferences wrt. the
allocation size. Sub page allocations go to the slab allocator and
larger are using either the page allocator or vmalloc. This is all good
but the logic is unnecessarily complex.
1) as per Ted, the vmalloc fallback is a left-over:
: jbd2_alloc is only passed in the bh->b_size, which can't be PAGE_SIZE, so
: the code path that calls vmalloc() should never get called. When we
: conveted jbd2_alloc() to suppor sub-page size allocations in commit
:
d2eecb039368, there was an assumption that it could be called with a size
: greater than PAGE_SIZE, but that's certaily not true today.
Moreover vmalloc allocation might even lead to a deadlock because the
callers expect GFP_NOFS context while vmalloc is GFP_KERNEL.
2) __GFP_REPEAT for requests <= PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER is ignored
since the flag was introduced.
Let's simplify the code flow and use the slab allocator for sub-page
requests and the page allocator for others. Even though order > 0 is
not currently used as per above leave that option open.

basically only rebased it on top of 4.7-rc1 tree and dropped "dm: get
rid of superfluous gfp flags" which went through dm tree. I am sending
it now because it is tree wide and chances for conflicts are reduced
considerably when we want to target rc2. I plan to send the next step
and rename the flag and move to a better semantic later during this
release cycle so we will have a new semantic ready for 4.8 merge window
hopefully.
Motivation:
While working on something unrelated I've checked the current usage of
__GFP_REPEAT in the tree. It seems that a majority of the usage is and
always has been bogus because __GFP_REPEAT has always been about costly
high order allocations while we are using it for order-0 or very small
orders very often. It seems that a big pile of them is just a
copy&paste when a code has been adopted from one arch to another.
I think it makes some sense to get rid of them because they are just
making the semantic more unclear. Please note that GFP_REPEAT is
documented as
* __GFP_REPEAT: Try hard to allocate the memory, but the allocation attempt
* _might_ fail. This depends upon the particular VM implementation.
while !costly requests have basically nofail semantic. So one could
reasonably expect that order-0 request with __GFP_REPEAT will not loop
for ever. This is not implemented right now though.
I would like to move on with __GFP_REPEAT and define a better semantic
for it.
$ git grep __GFP_REPEAT origin/master | wc -l
111
$ git grep __GFP_REPEAT | wc -l
36
So we are down to the third after this patch series. The remaining
places really seem to be relying on __GFP_REPEAT due to large allocation
requests. This still needs some double checking which I will do later
after all the simple ones are sorted out.
I am touching a lot of arch specific code here and I hope I got it right
but as a matter of fact I even didn't compile test for some archs as I
do not have cross compiler for them. Patches should be quite trivial to
review for stupid compile mistakes though. The tricky parts are usually
hidden by macro definitions and thats where I would appreciate help from
arch maintainers.

This patch (of 19):
__GFP_REPEAT has a rather weak semantic but since it has been introduced
around 2.6.12 it has been ignored for low order allocations. Yet we
have the full kernel tree with its usage for apparently order-0
allocations. This is really confusing because __GFP_REPEAT is
explicitly documented to allow allocation failures which is a weaker
semantic than the current order-0 has (basically nofail).
Let's simply drop __GFP_REPEAT from those places. This would allow to
identify place which really need allocator to retry harder and formulate
a more specific semantic for what the flag is supposed to do actually.
