Pull perf updates from Ingo Molnar:
"Kernel side changes mostly consist of work on x86 PMU drivers:
- x86 Intel PT (hardware CPU tracer) improvements (Alexander
Shishkin)
- x86 Intel CQM (cache quality monitoring) improvements (Thomas
Gleixner)
- x86 Intel PEBSv3 support (Peter Zijlstra)
- x86 Intel PEBS interrupt batching support for lower overhead
sampling (Zheng Yan, Kan Liang)
- x86 PMU scheduler fixes and improvements (Peter Zijlstra)
There's too many tooling improvements to list them all - here are a
few select highlights:
'perf bench':
- Introduce new 'perf bench futex' benchmark: 'wake-parallel', to
measure parallel waker threads generating contention for kernel
locks (hb->lock). (Davidlohr Bueso)
'perf top', 'perf report':
- Allow disabling/enabling events dynamicaly in 'perf top':
a 'perf top' session can instantly become a 'perf report'
one, i.e. going from dynamic analysis to a static one,
returning to a dynamic one is possible, to toogle the
modes, just press 'f' to 'freeze/unfreeze' the sampling. (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
- Make Ctrl-C stop processing on TUI, allowing interrupting the load of big
perf.data files (Namhyung Kim)
'perf probe': (Masami Hiramatsu)
- Support glob wildcards for function name
- Support $params special probe argument: Collect all function arguments
- Make --line checks validate C-style function name.
- Add --no-inlines option to avoid searching inline functions
- Greatly speed up 'perf probe --list' by caching debuginfo.
- Improve --filter support for 'perf probe', allowing using its arguments
on other commands, as --add, --del, etc.
'perf sched':
- Add option in 'perf sched' to merge like comms to lat output (Josef Bacik)
Plus tons of infrastructure work - in particular preparation for
upcoming threaded perf report support, but also lots of other work -
and fixes and other improvements. See (much) more details in the
shortlog and in the git log"

Pull locking updates from Ingo Molnar:
"The main changes are:

Pull RCU updates from Ingo Molnar:
- Continued initialization/Kconfig updates: hide most Kconfig options
from unsuspecting users.
There's now a single high level configuration option:
*
* RCU Subsystem
*
Make expert-level adjustments to RCU configuration (RCU_EXPERT) [N/y/?] (NEW)
Which if answered in the negative, leaves us with a single
interactive configuration option:
Offload RCU callback processing from boot-selected CPUs (RCU_NOCB_CPU) [N/y/?] (NEW)
All the rest of the RCU options are configured automatically. Later
on we'll remove this single leftover configuration option as well.
- Remove all uses of RCU-protected array indexes: replace the
rcu_[access|dereference]_index_check() APIs with READ_ONCE() and
rcu_lockdep_assert()
- RCU CPU-hotplug cleanups
- Updates to Tiny RCU: a race fix and further code shrinkage.
- RCU torture-testing updates: fixes, speedups, cleanups and
documentation updates.

Pull vfs updates from Al Viro:
"In this pile: pathname resolution rewrite.
- recursion in link_path_walk() is gone.
- nesting limits on symlinks are gone (the only limit remaining is
that the total amount of symlinks is no more than 40, no matter how
nested).
- "fast" (inline) symlinks are handled without leaving rcuwalk mode.
- stack footprint (independent of the nesting) is below kilobyte now,
about on par with what it used to be with one level of nested
symlinks and ~2.8 times lower than it used to be in the worst case.
- struct nameidata is entirely private to fs/namei.c now (not even
opaque pointers are being passed around).
- ->follow_link() and ->put_link() calling conventions had been
changed; all in-tree filesystems converted, out-of-tree should be
able to follow reasonably easily.
For out-of-tree conversions, see Documentation/filesystems/porting
for details (and in-tree filesystems for examples of conversion).

System wide sampling like 'perf top' or 'perf record -a' read all
threads /proc/xxx/maps before sampling. If there are any threads which
generating a keeping growing huge maps, perf will do infinite loop
during synthesizing. Nothing will be sampled.
This patch fixes this issue by adding per-thread timeout to force stop
this kind of endless proc map processing.
PERF_RECORD_MISC_PROC_MAP_PARSE_TIME_OUT is introduced to indicate that
the mmap record are truncated by time out. User will get warning
notification when truncated mmap records are detected.

When using a map file from a JIT, due to memory reuse, we can obtain
multiple symbols with the same start address but a different length.
The symbols__find does check for the end so not doing it in
sort__sym_cmp was causing the hist_entry in the annotate part of a
report to match to the wrong entry, causing a fatal error.

the percentages not changing and the number of events freezing.
Be more explicit by changing the help line at the bottom of the screen
to show the following messages when 'f' is pressed:

The 'f' hotkey is only used when in 'top', dynamic mode, to
enable/disable events, currently not making sense in the 'report',
static mode, where we can't go from showing the histogram entries
created from a perf.data file to adding more events after recreating the
evlist created from the perf.data file, albeit possible, this is not
implemented right now.

The thread-stack represents a thread's current stack. When a thread
exits there can still be many functions on the stack e.g. exit() can be
called many levels deep, so all the callers will never return. To get
that information output, the thread-stack must be flushed.
Previously it was assumed the thread-stack would be flushed when the
struct thread was deleted. With thread ref-counting it is no longer
clear when that will be, if ever. So instead explicitly flush all the
thread-stacks at the end of a session.

An apparent oversight left a hardcoded '4' in place when
LOCKSTAT_POINTS was introduced.
The contention_point[] and contending_point[] arrays in the
structs lock_class and lock_class_stats need to be the same
size for the loops in lock_stats() to be correct.
This patch allows LOCKSTAT_POINTS to be changed without
affecting the correctness of the code.

The current cmpxchg() loop in setting the _QW_WAITING flag for writers
in queue_write_lock_slowpath() will contend with incoming readers
causing possibly extra cmpxchg() operations that are wasteful. This
patch changes the code to do a byte cmpxchg() to eliminate contention
with new readers.
A multithreaded microbenchmark running 5M read_lock/write_lock loop
on a 8-socket 80-core Westmere-EX machine running 4.0 based kernel
with the qspinlock patch have the following execution times (in ms)
with and without the patch:
With R:W ratio = 5:1

With small number of contending threads, this patch can improve
locking performance by up to 10%. With more contending threads,
however, the gain diminishes.

Revert commit 534b483a86e6 ("cpumask: don't perform while loop in

This was a minor optimization, but it puts a `struct cpumask' on the

Since when we start discussions about the usage Media Controller for
complex hardware, one thing become clear: the way it is, MC fails to
map anything different than capture/output/m2m video-only streaming.
The point is that MC has entities named as devnodes, but the only
devnode used (before the DVB patches) is MEDIA_ENT_T_DEVNODE_V4L.
Due to the way MC got implemented, however, this entity actually
doesn't represent the devnode, but the hardware I/O engine that
receives data via DMA.
By coincidence, such DMA is associated with the V4L device node
on webcam hardware, but this is not true even for other V4L2
devices. For example, on USB hardware, the DMA is done via the
USB controller. The data passes though a in-kernel filter that
strips off the URB headers. Other V4L2 devices like radio may not
even have DMA. When it have, the DMA is done via ALSA, and not
via the V4L devnode.
In other words, MC is broken as a whole, but tagging it as BROKEN
right now would do more harm than good.
So, instead, let's mark, for now, the DVB part as broken and
block all new changes to MC while we fix this mess, whith
we hopefully will do for the next Kernel version.

It appears that, at some point last year, XFS made directory handling
changes which bring it into lockdep conflict with shmem_zero_setup():
it is surprising that mmap() can clone an inode while holding mmap_sem,
but that has been so for many years.
Since those few lockdep traces that I've seen all implicated selinux,
I'm hoping that we can use the __shmem_file_setup(,,,S_PRIVATE) which
v3.13's commit c7277090927a ("security: shmem: implement kernel private
shmem inodes") introduced to avoid LSM checks on kernel-internal inodes:
the mmap("/dev/zero") cloned inode is indeed a kernel-internal detail.
This also covers the !CONFIG_SHMEM use of ramfs to support /dev/zero
(and MAP_SHARED|MAP_ANONYMOUS). I thought there were also drivers
which cloned inode in mmap(), but if so, I cannot locate them now.

Now it is possible to press CTRL+z at anytime and that will disable the
events being monitored, essentially turning 'top' into 'report', with
pressing CTRL+z again making it enable the events again, returning to
the 'top' behaviour, i.e. dynamic + decaying of older samples.
One may want, for instance, play with:
-d, --delay <n> number of seconds to delay between refreshes
and:
-z, --zero zero history across updates
Plus CTRL+z to see only the events since last zeroing, etc.

I get following crash on multiple systems and across several releases

The problem seems to be a race condition, when the application has just
exited. Some/all fds associated with the perf-events (tracepoints) go
into a POLLHUP/ POLLERR state and the mmap region associated with those
events are unmapped (in perf_evlist__filter_pollfd()).
But we go back and do a perf_evlist__mmap_read() which assumes that the
mmaps are still valid and we hit the crash.
If the mapping for an event is released, its refcnt is 0 (and ->base
is NULL), so ensure we have non-zero refcount before accessing the map.
Note that perf-record has a similar logic but unlike perf-trace, the
record__mmap_read_all() checks the evlist->mmap[i].base before accessing
the map.

Speed up the "perf probe --list" by caching the last used debuginfo.
perf probe --list always open and load debuginfo for each entry of probe
list. This takes very a long time.
E.g. with vfs_* events (total 96 probes)
[root@localhost perf]# time ./perf probe -l &> /dev/null
real 0m25.376s
user 0m24.381s
sys 0m1.012s
To solve this issue, this adds debuginfo_cache to cache the
last used debuginfo on memory.
With this fix, the perf-probe --list significantly improves
its speed.

When the last part of converted events are blacklisted or out-of-text,
those are skipped and perf probe doesn't show usage examples. This
fixes it to show the example even if the last part of event list is
skipped.
E.g. without this patch, events are added, but suddenly end:
# perf probe vfs_*
vfs_caches_init_early is out of .text, skip it.
vfs_caches_init is out of .text, skip it.
Added new events:
probe:vfs_fallocate (on vfs_*)
probe:vfs_open (on vfs_*)
...
probe:vfs_dentry_acceptable (on vfs_*)
probe:vfs_load_quota_inode (on vfs_*)
#
With this fix:
# perf probe vfs_*
vfs_caches_init_early is out of .text, skip it.
vfs_caches_init is out of .text, skip it.
Added new events:
probe:vfs_fallocate (on vfs_*)
...
probe:vfs_load_quota_inode (on vfs_*)
You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:
perf record -e probe:vfs_load_quota_inode -aR sleep 1
Note that this can be reproduced ONLY IF the vfs_caches_init* is the
last part of matched symbol list. I've checked this happens on
"3.19.0-generic #18-Ubuntu" kernel binary.

Commit e3d09ec8126fe2c9a3ade661e2126e215ca27a80 ("tools lib traceevent:
Export dynamic symbols used by traceevent plugins") adds libtraceevent
dynamic list directly into LDFLAGS, which makes all targets depend on
that list through LDFLAGS.
This is not good since some of targets like libgtk.so doesn't use plugin
at all, but require the existance of that list because of linker
options.
This patch isolates the -Xlink option into LIBTRACEEVENT_DYNAMIC_LIST_LDFLAGS,
makes only perf and perf.so use it.

======= Memory map: ========
[SNIP]
The bug is in perf_event__attr_swap(). It swaps all fields in 'struct
perf_event_attr' without checking whether the swapped field exist or
not. In addition, in read_event_desc() allocs memory for attr according
to size read from perf.data.
Therefore, if the perf.data is collected by an old perf (without
aux_watermark, for example), when perf_event__attr_swap() swaping
attr->aux_watermark it destroy malloc's metadata.
This patch introduces boundary checking in perf_event__attr_swap(). It
adds macros bswap_field_64 and bswap_field_32 into
perf_event__attr_swap() to make it only swap exist fields.

Worse yet, reading the error message (the filter again) it says that
