Mathieu Desnoyers reported that the STACK_FRAME_NON_STANDARD macro
wasn't working with the lttng_filter_interpret_bytecode() function in
the lttng-modules code.
Usually the relocation created by STACK_FRAME_NON_STANDARD creates a
reference to a section symbol like this:
Offset Type Value Addend Name
000000000000000000 X86_64_64 000000000000000000 +3136 .text
But in this case it created a reference to a function symbol:
Offset Type Value Addend Name
000000000000000000 X86_64_64 0x00000000000003a0 +0 lttng_filter_interpret_bytecode
To be honest I have no idea what causes gcc to decide to do one over the
other. But both are valid ELF, so add support for the function symbol.

The write at the end of the test to restore nr_hugepages to its previous
value is failing. This is because it is trying to write the number of
bytes in the char array as opposed to the number of bytes in the string.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace
Pull tracing fixes from Steven Rostedt:
"Two fixes for the tracing system:
- When trace_printk() is used with a non constant format descriptor,
it adds a NULL pointer into the trace format section, and the code
isn't prepared to deal with it. This bug appeared by a change that
was added in v3.5.
- The ftracetest (selftests section) can't handle testing histograms
when histograms are not configured. Currently it shows that they
fail the test, when they should state that they are unsupported.
This bug was added in the 4.7 merge window with the addition of the
historgram code"
* tag 'trace-v4.7-rc3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace:
ftracetest: Fix hist unsupported result in hist selftests
tracing: Handle NULL formats in hold_module_trace_bprintk_format()
|
|
When histograms are not configured in the kernel, the ftracetest histogram
selftests should return "unsupported" and not "Failed". To detect this, the
test scripts have:
FEATURE=`grep hist events/sched/sched_process_fork/trigger`
if [ -z "$FEATURE" ]; then
echo "hist trigger is not supported"
exit_unsupported
fi
The problem is that '-e' is in effect and any error will cause the program
to terminate. The grep for 'hist' fails, because it is not compiled it (thus
unsupported), but because grep has an error code for failing to find the
string, it causes the program to terminate, and is marked as a failed test.
Namhyung Kim recommended to test for the "hist" file located in
events/sched/sched_process_fork/hist instead, as it is more inline with the
other checks. As the hist file is only created if the histogram feature is
enabled, that is a valid check.

The vmlinux image is available for all the architectures, and suitable
for running a KVM guest by QEMU, besides, we used to copy the vmlinux
to $resdir anyway. Therefore it makes sense to use it as the fallback
kernel image for rcutorture KVM tests.
This patch makes identify_boot_image() return vmlinux if
${TORTURE_BOOT_IMAGE} is not set on non-x86 architectures, also fixes
several places that hard-code "bzImage" as $KERNEL.
This also fixes a problem that PPC doesn't have a bzImage file as build
results.

Using dracut is another way to get an initramfs for KVM-based RCU
torture tests, which is more flexible than using the host's initramfs
image, because modules and binaries may be added or removed via dracut

are some situations where host's initramfs couldn't be used.

- move kvm_stat tool from QEMU repo into tools/kvm/kvm_stat (kvm_stat
had nothing to do with QEMU in the first place -- the tool only

- expose per-vm statistics in debugfs and support them in kvm_stat
(KVM always collected per-vm statistics, but they were summarised
into global statistics)

- fix dynamic APICv (VMX was improperly configured and a guest could
access host's APIC MSRs, CVE-2016-4440)
- minor fixes

- new vgic reimplementation of our horribly broken legacy vgic

record__mmap_read() writes data from ring buffer into perf.data. 'head'
is maintained by the kernel, points to the last written record.
'old' is maintained by perf, points to the record read in previous
round. record__mmap_read() saves data from 'old' to 'head' to
perf.data.
The names of these variables are not very intutive. In addition,
when dealing with backward writing ring buffer, the md->prev pointer
should point to 'head' instead of the last byte it got.
Add 'start' and 'end' pointer to make code clear and set md->prev to
'head' instead of the moved 'old' pointer. This patch doesn't change
behavior since:
buf = &data[old & md->mask];
size = head - old;
old += size; <--- Here, old == head

When record__mmap_read() requires data more than the size of ring
buffer, drop those data to avoid accessing invalid memory.
This can happen when reading from overwritable ring buffer, which
should be avoided. However, check this for robustness.

perf_evlist__toggle_{pause,resume}() are introduced to pause/resume
events in an evlist. Utilize PERF_EVENT_IOC_PAUSE_OUTPUT ioctl.
Following commits use them to ensure overwrite ring buffer is paused

Noticed when the 'setsockopt' 'fd' arg wasn't being formatted via
the SCA_FD beautifier, so just remove the setting of "fd" args to
SCA_FD and do it when reading the syscall info, like we do for
args of type "pid_t", i.e. "fd" as the name should be enough as
the decision to use the SFA_FD beautifier. For odd cases we can
just do it explicitely.

Pull libnvdimm updates from Dan Williams:
"The bulk of this update was stabilized before the merge window and
appeared in -next. The "device dax" implementation was revised this
week in response to review feedback, and to address failures detected
by the recently expanded ndctl unit test suite.
Not included in this pull request are two dax topic branches (dax
error handling, and dax radix-tree locking). These topics were
deferred to get a few more days of -next integration testing, and to
coordinate a branch baseline with Ted and the ext4 tree. Vishal and
Ross will send the error handling and locking topics respectively in
the next few days.
This branch has received a positive build result from the kbuild robot
across 226 configs.
Summary:
- Device DAX for persistent memory: Device DAX is the device-centric
analogue of Filesystem DAX (CONFIG_FS_DAX). It allows memory
ranges to be allocated and mapped without need of an intervening
file system. Device DAX is strict, precise and predictable.
Specifically this interface:
a) Guarantees fault granularity with respect to a given page size
(pte, pmd, or pud) set at configuration time.
b) Enforces deterministic behavior by being strict about what
fault scenarios are supported.
Persistent memory is the first target, but the mechanism is also
targeted for exclusive allocations of performance/feature
differentiated memory ranges.
- Support for the HPE DSM (device specific method) command formats.
This enables management of these first generation devices until a
unified DSM specification materializes.
- Further ACPI 6.1 compliance with support for the common dimm
identifier format.
- Various fixes and cleanups across the subsystem"

Add "srcline_from" and "srcline_to" branch sort keys that allow to show
the source lines of a branch.
That makes it much easier to track down where particular branches happen
in the program, for example to examine branch mispredictions, or to
associate it with cycle counts:

Half of the test in instance-event.tc was updated to use $! to find the PID
of the previous background process that was launched, but the second part of
the test still used the parsing of "jobs", which does not work on all shells
like $! does.

Pull motr tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
"Three more changes.
- I forgot that I had another selftest to stress test the ftrace
instance creation. It was actually suppose to go into the 4.6
merge window, but I never committed it. I almost forgot about it
again, but noticed it was missing from your tree.
- Soumya PN sent me a clean up patch to not disable interrupts when
taking the tasklist_lock for read, as it's unnecessary because that
lock is never taken for write in irq context.
- Newer gcc's can cause the jump in the function_graph code to the
global ftrace_stub label to be a short jump instead of a long one.
As that jump is dynamically converted to jump to the trace code to
do function graph tracing, and that conversion expects a long jump
it can corrupt the ftrace_stub itself (it's directly after that
call). One way to prevent gcc from using a short jump is to
declare the ftrace_stub as a weak function, which we do here to
keep gcc from optimizing too much"

By adding TRACEHOOK support we now get a clean user interface to access
registers via PTRACE_GETREGS, PTRACE_SETREGS, PTRACE_GETFPREGS and
PTRACE_SETFPREGS.
The user-visible regset struct user_regs_struct and user_fp_struct are
modelled similiar to x86 and can be accessed via PTRACE_GETREGSET.
