11 years agoperf probe: Fix probing symbols with optimization suffix
Masami Hiramatsu [Wed, 25 Sep 2013 13:16:16 +0000 (22:16 +0900)]
perf probe: Fix probing symbols with optimization suffix

Fix perf probe to probe on some symbols which have some optimzation
suffixes, e.g. ".part", ".isra", and ".constprop".

To fix this issue, instead of using the DIE name, perf probe uses the
symbol name found by dwfl_module_addrsym().

This also involves a perf probe --vars operation update which now shows
the symbol name instead of the DIE name.

Without this patch, putting a probe on an inlined function which was
compiled with a suffixed symbol will fail like this:

  $ perf probe -v getname_flags
  probe-definition(0): getname_flags
  symbol:getname_flags file:(null) line:0 offset:0 return:0 lazy:(null)
  0 arguments
  Looking at the vmlinux_path (6 entries long)
  Using /lib/modules/3.11.0+/build/vmlinux for symbols
  found inline addr: 0xffffffff8119bb70
  Probe point found: getname_flags+0
  found inline addr: 0xffffffff8119bcb6
  Probe point found: getname+6
  found inline addr: 0xffffffff811a06a6
  Probe point found: user_path_at_empty+6
  find 3 probe_trace_events.
  Opening /sys/kernel/debug//tracing/kprobe_events write=1
  Added new events:
  Writing event: p:probe/getname_flags getname_flags+0
  Failed to write event: No such file or directory
    Error: Failed to add events. (-1)

Because the debuginfo knows only the original (non suffix) symbol name,
it uses the original symbol for probe address but the kernel (kallsyms)
knows only suffixed symbol.  Then, the kernel rejects that original
symbol.

This patch uses dwfl_module_addrsym() to get the correct (suffixed)
symbol from symtab when a probe point is found.

11 years agoperf: Fix capabilities bitfield compatibility in 'struct perf_event_mmap_page'
Peter Zijlstra [Thu, 19 Sep 2013 08:16:42 +0000 (10:16 +0200)]
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:

  860f085b74e9 ("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.

11 years agotty: disassociate_ctty() sends the extra SIGCONT

tty: disassociate_ctty() sends the extra SIGCONT

Starting from v3.10 (probably commit f91e2590410b: "tty: Signal
foreground group processes in hangup") disassociate_ctty() sends SIGCONT
if tty && on_exit.  This breaks LSB test-suite, in particular test8 in
_exit.c and test40 in sigcon5.c.

Put the "!on_exit" check back to restore the old behaviour.

Review by Peter Hurley:
 "Yes, this regression was introduced by me in that commit.  The effect
  of the regression is that ptys will receive a SIGCONT when, in similar
  circumstances, ttys would not.

  The fact that two test vectors accidentally tripped over this
  regression suggests that some other apps may as well.

Loosen this check and only verify that the size is either the whole disk

other than these.

The LRU list changes interacted badly with our nr_dentry_unused
accounting, and even worse with the new DCACHE_LRU_LIST bit logic.

This introduces helper functions to make sure everything follows the
proper dcache d_lru list rules: the dentry cache is complicated by the
fact that some of the hotpaths don't even want to look at the LRU list
at all, and the fact that we use the same list entry in the dentry for
both the LRU list and for our temporary shrinking lists when removing
things from the LRU.

The helper functions temporarily have some extra sanity checking for the
flag bits that have to match the current LRU state of the dentry.  We'll
remove that before the final 3.12 release, but considering how easy it
is to get wrong, this first cleanup version has some very particular
sanity checking.

11 years agocifs: Avoid calling unlock_page() twice in cifs_readpage() when using fscache
Sachin Prabhu [Fri, 13 Sep 2013 13:11:57 +0000 (14:11 +0100)]
cifs: Avoid calling unlock_page() twice in cifs_readpage() when using fscache

When reading a single page with cifs_readpage(), we make a call to
fscache_read_or_alloc_page() which once done, asynchronously calls
the completion function cifs_readpage_from_fscache_complete(). This
completion function unlocks the page once it has been populated from
cache. The module then attempts to unlock the page a second time in
cifs_readpage() which leads to warning messages.

In case of a successful call to fscache_read_or_alloc_page() we should skip
the second unlock_page() since this will be called by the
cifs_readpage_from_fscache_complete() once the page has been populated by
fscache.

With the modifications to cifs_readpage_worker(), we will need to re-grab the
page lock in cifs_write_begin().

The problem was first noticed when testing new fscache patches for cifs.

MIPS: DECstation I/O ASIC DMA interrupt handling fix

This change complements commit d0da7c002f7b2a93582187a9e3f73891a01d8ee4
and brings clear_ioasic_irq back, renaming it to clear_ioasic_dma_irq at
the same time, to make I/O ASIC DMA interrupts functional.

Unlike ordinary I/O ASIC interrupts DMA interrupts need to be deasserted
by software by writing 0 to the respective bit in I/O ASIC's System
Interrupt Register (SIR), similarly to how CP0.Cause.IP0 and CP0.Cause.IP1
bits are handled in the CPU (the difference is SIR DMA interrupt bits are
R/W0C so there's no need for an RMW cycle).  Otherwise the handler is
reentered over and over again.

The only current user is the DEC LANCE Ethernet driver and its extremely
uncommon DMA memory error handler that does not care when exactly the
interrupt is cleared.  Anticipating the use of DMA interrupts by the Zilog
SCC driver this change however exports clear_ioasic_dma_irq for device
drivers to choose the right application-specific sequence to clear the
request explicitly rather than calling it implicitly in the .irq_eoi
handler of `struct irq_chip'.  Previously these interrupts were cleared in
the .end handler of the said structure, before it was removed.

11 years agoMIPS: DECstation HRT initialization rearrangement
Maciej W. Rozycki [Thu, 12 Sep 2013 11:01:53 +0000 (12:01 +0100)]
MIPS: DECstation HRT initialization rearrangement

Not all I/O ASIC versions have the free-running counter implemented, an
early revision used in the 5000/1xx models aka 3MIN and 4MIN did not have
it.  Therefore we cannot unconditionally use it as a clock source.
Fortunately if not implemented its register slot has a fixed value so it
is enough if we check for the value at the end of the calibration period
being the same as at the beginning.

This also means we need to look for another high-precision clock source on
the systems affected.  The 5000/1xx can have an R4000SC processor
installed where the CP0 Count register can be used as a clock source.
Unfortunately all the R4k DECstations suffer from the missed timer
interrupt on CP0 Count reads erratum, so we cannot use the CP0 timer as a
clock source and a clock event both at a time.  However we never need an
R4k clock event device because all DECstations have a DS1287A RTC chip
whose periodic interrupt can be used as a clock source.

This gives us the following four configuration possibilities for I/O ASIC
DECstations:

1. No I/O ASIC counter and no CP0 timer, e.g. R3k 5000/1xx (3MIN).

2. No I/O ASIC counter but the CP0 timer, i.e. R4k 5000/150 (4MIN).

3. The I/O ASIC counter but no CP0 timer, e.g. R3k 5000/240 (3MAX+).

4. The I/O ASIC counter and the CP0 timer, e.g. R4k 5000/260 (4MAX+).

For #1 and #2 this change stops the I/O ASIC free-running counter from
being installed as a clock source of a 0Hz frequency.  For #2 it also
arranges for the CP0 timer to be used as a clock source rather than a
clock event device, because having an accurate wall clock is more
important than a high-precision interval timer.  For #3 there is no
change.  For #4 the change makes the I/O ASIC free-running counter
installed as a clock source so that the CP0 timer can be used as a clock
event device.

Unfortunately the use of the CP0 timer as a clock event device relies on a
succesful completion of c0_compare_interrupt.  That never happens, because
while waiting for a CP0 Compare interrupt to happen the function spins in
a loop reading the CP0 Count register.  This makes the CP0 Count erratum
trigger reliably causing the interrupt waited for to be lost in all cases.
As a result #4 resorts to using the CP0 timer as a clock source as well,
just as #2.  However we want to keep this separate arrangement in case
(hope) c0_compare_interrupt is eventually rewritten such that it avoids
the erratum.

  utilize these primitives.  However, with server side support now in
