Pull string hash improvements from George Spelvin:
"This series does several related things:
- Makes the dcache hash (fs/namei.c) useful for general kernel use.
(Thanks to Bruce for noticing the zero-length corner case)
- Converts the string hashes in <linux/sunrpc/svcauth.h> to use the
above.
- Avoids 64-bit multiplies in hash_64() on 32-bit platforms. Two
32-bit multiplies will do well enough.
- Rids the world of the bad hash multipliers in hash_32.
This finishes the job started in commit 689de1d6ca ("Minimal
fix-up of bad hashing behavior of hash_64()")
The vast majority of Linux architectures have hardware support for
32x32-bit multiply and so derive no benefit from "simplified"
multipliers.
The few processors that do not (68000, h8/300 and some models of
Microblaze) have arch-specific implementations added. Those
patches are last in the series.
- Overhauls the dcache hash mixing.
The patch in commit 0fed3ac866 ("namei: Improve hash mixing if
CONFIG_DCACHE_WORD_ACCESS") was an off-the-cuff suggestion.
Replaced with a much more careful design that's simultaneously
faster and better. (My own invention, as there was noting suitable
in the literature I could find. Comments welcome!)
- Modify the hash_name() loop to skip the initial HASH_MIX(). This
would let us salt the hash if we ever wanted to.
- Sort out partial_name_hash().
The hash function is declared as using a long state, even though
it's truncated to 32 bits at the end and the extra internal state
contributes nothing to the result. And some callers do odd things:
- fs/hfs/string.c only allocates 32 bits of state
- fs/hfsplus/unicode.c uses it to hash 16-bit unicode symbols not bytes
- Modify bytemask_from_count to handle inputs of 1..sizeof(long)
rather than 0..sizeof(long)-1. This would simplify users other
than full_name_hash"
Special thanks to Bruce Fields for testing and finding bugs in v1. (I
learned some humbling lessons about "obviously correct" code.)
On the arch-specific front, the m68k assembly has been tested in a
standalone test harness, I've been in contact with the Microblaze
maintainers who mostly don't care, as the hardware multiplier is never
omitted in real-world applications, and I haven't heard anything from
the H8/300 world"

This is just the infrastructure; there are no users yet.
This is modelled on CONFIG_ARCH_RANDOM; a CONFIG_ symbol declares
the existence of <asm/hash.h>.
That file may define its own versions of various functions, and define
HAVE_* symbols (no CONFIG_ prefix!) to suppress the generic ones.
Included is a self-test (in lib/test_hash.c) that verifies the basics.
It is NOT in general required that the arch-specific functions compute
the same thing as the generic, but if a HAVE_* symbol is defined with
the value 1, then equality is tested.

The binary GCD algorithm is based on the following facts:
1. If a and b are all evens, then gcd(a,b) = 2 * gcd(a/2, b/2)
2. If a is even and b is odd, then gcd(a,b) = gcd(a/2, b)
3. If a and b are all odds, then gcd(a,b) = gcd((a-b)/2, b) = gcd((a+b)/2, b)
Even on x86 machines with reasonable division hardware, the binary
algorithm runs about 25% faster (80% the execution time) than the
division-based Euclidian algorithm.
On platforms like Alpha and ARMv6 where division is a function call to
emulation code, it's even more significant.
There are two variants of the code here, depending on whether a fast
__ffs (find least significant set bit) instruction is available. This
allows the unpredictable branches in the bit-at-a-time shifting loop to
be eliminated.
If fast __ffs is not available, the "even/odd" GCD variant is used.

printk() takes some locks and could not be used a safe way in NMI
context.
The chance of a deadlock is real especially when printing stacks from
all CPUs. This particular problem has been addressed on x86 by the
commit a9edc88093 ("x86/nmi: Perform a safe NMI stack trace on all
CPUs").
The patchset brings two big advantages. First, it makes the NMI
backtraces safe on all architectures for free. Second, it makes all NMI
messages almost safe on all architectures (the temporary buffer is
limited. We still should keep the number of messages in NMI context at
minimum).
Note that there already are several messages printed in NMI context:
WARN_ON(in_nmi()), BUG_ON(in_nmi()), anything being printed out from MCE
handlers. These are not easy to avoid.
This patch reuses most of the code and makes it generic. It is useful
for all messages and architectures that support NMI.
The alternative printk_func is set when entering and is reseted when
leaving NMI context. It queues IRQ work to copy the messages into the
main ring buffer in a safe context.
__printk_nmi_flush() copies all available messages and reset the buffer.
Then we could use a simple cmpxchg operations to get synchronized with
writers. There is also used a spinlock to get synchronized with other
flushers.
We do not longer use seq_buf because it depends on external lock. It
would be hard to make all supported operations safe for a lockless use.
It would be confusing and error prone to make only some operations safe.
The code is put into separate printk/nmi.c as suggested by Steven
Rostedt. It needs a per-CPU buffer and is compiled only on
architectures that call nmi_enter(). This is achieved by the new
HAVE_NMI Kconfig flag.
The are MN10300 and Xtensa architectures. We need to clean up NMI
handling there first. Let's do it separately.
The patch is heavily based on the draft from Peter Zijlstra, see
https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/6/10/327

Address Space Layout Randomization (ASLR) provides a barrier to
exploitation of user-space processes in the presence of security
vulnerabilities by making it more difficult to find desired code/data
which could help an attack. This is done by adding a random offset to
the location of regions in the process address space, with a greater
range of potential offset values corresponding to better protection/a
larger search-space for brute force, but also to greater potential for
fragmentation.
The offset added to the mmap_base address, which provides the basis for
the majority of the mappings for a process, is set once on process exec
in arch_pick_mmap_layout() and is done via hard-coded per-arch values,
which reflect, hopefully, the best compromise for all systems. The
trade-off between increased entropy in the offset value generation and
the corresponding increased variability in address space fragmentation
is not absolute, however, and some platforms may tolerate higher amounts
of entropy. This patch introduces both new Kconfig values and a sysctl
interface which may be used to change the amount of entropy used for
offset generation on a system.
The direct motivation for this change was in response to the
libstagefright vulnerabilities that affected Android, specifically to
information provided by Google's project zero at:
http://googleprojectzero.blogspot.com/2015/09/stagefrightened.html
The attack presented therein, by Google's project zero, specifically
targeted the limited randomness used to generate the offset added to the
mmap_base address in order to craft a brute-force-based attack.
Concretely, the attack was against the mediaserver process, which was
limited to respawning every 5 seconds, on an arm device. The hard-coded
8 bits used resulted in an average expected success rate of defeating
the mmap ASLR after just over 10 minutes (128 tries at 5 seconds a
piece). With this patch, and an accompanying increase in the entropy
value to 16 bits, the same attack would take an average expected time of
over 45 hours (32768 tries), which makes it both less feasible and more
likely to be noticed.
The introduced Kconfig and sysctl options are limited by per-arch
minimum and maximum values, the minimum of which was chosen to match the
current hard-coded value and the maximum of which was chosen so as to
give the greatest flexibility without generating an invalid mmap_base
address, generally a 3-4 bits less than the number of bits in the
user-space accessible virtual address space.
When decided whether or not to change the default value, a system
developer should consider that mmap_base address could be placed
anywhere up to 2^(value) bits away from the non-randomized location,
which would introduce variable-sized areas above and below the mmap_base
address such that the maximum vm_area_struct size may be reduced,
preventing very large allocations.
This patch (of 4):
ASLR only uses as few as 8 bits to generate the random offset for the
mmap base address on 32 bit architectures. This value was chosen to
prevent a poorly chosen value from dividing the address space in such a
way as to prevent large allocations. This may not be an issue on all
platforms. Allow the specification of a minimum number of bits so that
platforms desiring greater ASLR protection may determine where to place
the trade-off.

There are two kexec load syscalls, kexec_load another and kexec_file_load.
kexec_file_load has been splited as kernel/kexec_file.c. In this patch I
split kexec_load syscall code to kernel/kexec.c.
And add a new kconfig option KEXEC_CORE, so we can disable kexec_load and
use kexec_file_load only, or vice verse.
The original requirement is from Ted Ts'o, he want kexec kernel signature
being checked with CONFIG_KEXEC_VERIFY_SIG enabled. But kexec-tools use
kexec_load syscall can bypass the checking.
Vivek Goyal proposed to create a common kconfig option so user can compile
in only one syscall for loading kexec kernel. KEXEC/KEXEC_FILE selects
KEXEC_CORE so that old config files still work.
Because there's general code need CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE, so I updated all the
architecture Kconfig with a new option KEXEC_CORE, and let KEXEC selects
KEXEC_CORE in arch Kconfig. Also updated general kernel code with to
kexec_load syscall.

clone has some of the quirkiest syscall handling in the kernel, with a
pile of special cases, historical curiosities, and architecture-specific
calling conventions. In particular, clone with CLONE_SETTLS accepts a
parameter "tls" that the C entry point completely ignores and some
assembly entry points overwrite; instead, the low-level arch-specific
code pulls the tls parameter out of the arch-specific register captured
as part of pt_regs on entry to the kernel. That's a massive hack, and
it makes the arch-specific code only work when called via the specific
existing syscall entry points; because of this hack, any new clone-like
system call would have to accept an identical tls argument in exactly
the same arch-specific position, rather than providing a unified system
call entry point across architectures.
The first patch allows architectures to handle the tls argument via
normal C parameter passing, if they opt in by selecting
HAVE_COPY_THREAD_TLS. The second patch makes 32-bit and 64-bit x86 opt
into this.
These two patches came out of the clone4 series, which isn't ready for
this merge window, but these first two cleanup patches were entirely
uncontroversial and have acks. I'd like to go ahead and submit these
two so that other architectures can begin building on top of this and
opting into HAVE_COPY_THREAD_TLS. However, I'm also happy to wait and
send these through the next merge window (along with v3 of clone4) if
anyone would prefer that.
This patch (of 2):
clone with CLONE_SETTLS accepts an argument to set the thread-local
storage area for the new thread. sys_clone declares an int argument
tls_val in the appropriate point in the argument list (based on the
various CLONE_BACKWARDS variants), but doesn't actually use or pass along
that argument. Instead, sys_clone calls do_fork, which calls
copy_process, which calls the arch-specific copy_thread, and copy_thread
pulls the corresponding syscall argument out of the pt_regs captured at
kernel entry (knowing what argument of clone that architecture passes tls
in).
Apart from being awful and inscrutable, that also only works because only
one code path into copy_thread can pass the CLONE_SETTLS flag, and that
code path comes from sys_clone with its architecture-specific
argument-passing order. This prevents introducing a new version of the
clone system call without propagating the same architecture-specific
position of the tls argument.
However, there's no reason to pull the argument out of pt_regs when
sys_clone could just pass it down via C function call arguments.
Introduce a new CONFIG_HAVE_COPY_THREAD_TLS for architectures to opt into,
and a new copy_thread_tls that accepts the tls parameter as an additional
unsigned long (syscall-argument-sized) argument. Change sys_clone's tls
argument to an unsigned long (which does not change the ABI), and pass
that down to copy_thread_tls.
Architectures that don't opt into copy_thread_tls will continue to ignore
the C argument to sys_clone in favor of the pt_regs captured at kernel
entry, and thus will be unable to introduce new versions of the clone
syscall.

When an architecture fully supports randomizing the ELF load location,
a per-arch mmap_rnd() function is used to find a randomized mmap base.
In preparation for randomizing the location of ET_DYN binaries
separately from mmap, this renames and exports these functions as
arch_mmap_rnd(). Additionally introduces CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_ELF_RANDOMIZE
for describing this feature on architectures that support it
(which is a superset of ARCH_BINFMT_ELF_RANDOMIZE_PIE, since s390
already supports a separated ET_DYN ASLR from mmap ASLR without the
ARCH_BINFMT_ELF_RANDOMIZE_PIE logic).

This adds the new "seccomp" syscall with both an "operation" and "flags"
parameter for future expansion. The third argument is a pointer value,
used with the SECCOMP_SET_MODE_FILTER operation. Currently, flags must
be 0. This is functionally equivalent to prctl(PR_SET_SECCOMP, ...).
In addition to the TSYNC flag later in this patch series, there is a
non-zero chance that this syscall could be used for configuring a fixed
argument area for seccomp-tracer-aware processes to pass syscall arguments
in the future. Hence, the use of "seccomp" not simply "seccomp_add_filter"
for this syscall. Additionally, this syscall uses operation, flags,
and user pointer for arguments because strictly passing arguments via
a user pointer would mean seccomp itself would be unable to trivially
filter the seccomp syscall itself.

This changes the stack protector config option into a choice of
"None", "Regular", and "Strong":
CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_NONE
CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_REGULAR
CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_STRONG
"Regular" means the old CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR=y option.
"Strong" is a new mode introduced by this patch. With "Strong" the
kernel is built with -fstack-protector-strong (available in
gcc 4.9 and later). This option increases the coverage of the stack
protector without the heavy performance hit of -fstack-protector-all.
For reference, the stack protector options available in gcc are:
-fstack-protector-all:
Adds the stack-canary saving prefix and stack-canary checking
suffix to _all_ function entry and exit. Results in substantial
use of stack space for saving the canary for deep stack users
(e.g. historically xfs), and measurable (though shockingly still
low) performance hit due to all the saving/checking. Really not
suitable for sane systems, and was entirely removed as an option
from the kernel many years ago.
-fstack-protector:
Adds the canary save/check to functions that define an 8
(--param=ssp-buffer-size=N, N=8 by default) or more byte local
char array. Traditionally, stack overflows happened with
string-based manipulations, so this was a way to find those
functions. Very few total functions actually get the canary; no
measurable performance or size overhead.
-fstack-protector-strong
Adds the canary for a wider set of functions, since it's not
just those with strings that have ultimately been vulnerable to
stack-busting. With this superset, more functions end up with a
canary, but it still remains small compared to all functions
with only a small change in performance. Based on the original
design document, a function gets the canary when it contains any
of:
- local variable's address used as part of the right hand side
of an assignment or function argument
- local variable is an array (or union containing an array),
regardless of array type or length
- uses register local variables

Find below a comparison of "size" and "objdump" output when built with
gcc-4.9 in three configurations:
- defconfig
11430641 kernel text size
36110 function bodies
- defconfig + CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_REGULAR
11468490 kernel text size (+0.33%)
1015 of 36110 functions are stack-protected (2.81%)
- defconfig + CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_STRONG via this patch
11692790 kernel text size (+2.24%)
7401 of 36110 functions are stack-protected (20.5%)
With -strong, ARM's compressed boot code now triggers stack
protection, so a static guard was added. Since this is only used
during decompression and was never used before, the exposure
here is very small. Once it switches to the full kernel, the
stack guard is back to normal.
Chrome OS has been using -fstack-protector-strong for its kernel
builds for the last 8 months with no problems.

clocksource: Put nodes passed to CLOCKSOURCE_OF_DECLARE callbacks centrally

...
If irq_exit() is called on the arch's specified irq stack,
it should be safe to run softirqs inline under that same
irq stack as it is near empty by the time we call irq_exit().
For example if we use the same stack for both hard and soft irqs here,
the worst case scenario is:
hardirq -> softirq -> hardirq. But then the softirq supersedes the
first hardirq as the stack user since irq_exit() is called in
a mostly empty stack. So the stack merge in this case looks acceptable.
Stack overrun still have a chance to happen if hardirqs have more
opportunities to nest, but then it's another problem to solve.
So lets adapt the irq exit's softirq stack on top of a new Kconfig symbol
that can be defined when irq_exit() runs on the irq stack. That way
we can spare some stack switch on irq processing and all the cache
issues that come along.

With VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_GEN, cputime_t becomes 64-bit. In order
to use that feature, arch code should be audited to ensure there are no
races in concurrent read/write of cputime_t. For example,
reading/writing 64-bit cputime_t on some 32-bit arches may require
multiple accesses for low and high value parts, so proper locking
is needed to protect against concurrent accesses.
Therefore, add CONFIG_HAVE_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_GEN which arches can
enable after they've been audited for potential races.
This option is automatically enabled on 64-bit platforms.

Fix inadvertent breakage in the clone syscall ABI for Microblaze that
was introduced in commit f3268edbe6 ("microblaze: switch to generic
fork/vfork/clone").
The Microblaze syscall ABI for clone takes the parent tid address in the
4th argument; the third argument slot is used for the stack size. The
incorrectly-used CLONE_BACKWARDS type assigned parent tid to the 3rd
slot.
This commit restores the original ABI so that existing userspace libc
code will work correctly.
All kernel versions from v3.8-rc1 were affected.

The soft-dirty is a bit on a PTE which helps to track which pages a task
writes to. In order to do this tracking one should
1. Clear soft-dirty bits from PTEs ("echo 4 > /proc/PID/clear_refs)
2. Wait some time.
3. Read soft-dirty bits (55'th in /proc/PID/pagemap2 entries)
To do this tracking, the writable bit is cleared from PTEs when the
soft-dirty bit is. Thus, after this, when the task tries to modify a
page at some virtual address the #PF occurs and the kernel sets the
soft-dirty bit on the respective PTE.
Note, that although all the task's address space is marked as r/o after
the soft-dirty bits clear, the #PF-s that occur after that are processed
fast. This is so, since the pages are still mapped to physical memory,
and thus all the kernel does is finds this fact out and puts back
writable, dirty and soft-dirty bits on the PTE.
Another thing to note, is that when mremap moves PTEs they are marked
with soft-dirty as well, since from the user perspective mremap modifies
the virtual memory at mremap's new address.

commit d1669912 (idle: Implement generic idle function) added a new
generic idle along with support for hlt/nohlt command line options to
override default idle loop behavior. However, the command-line
processing is never compiled.
The command-line handling is wrapped by CONFIG_GENERIC_IDLE_POLL_SETUP
and arches that use this feature select it in their Kconfigs.
However, no Kconfig definition was created for this option, so it is
never enabled, and therefore command-line override of the idle-loop
behavior is broken after migrating to the generic idle loop.
To fix, add a Kconfig definition for GENERIC_IDLE_POLL_SETUP.
Tested on ARM (OMAP4/Panda) which enables the command-line overrides
by default.

We have CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX, which three archs define to the string
"_". But Al Viro broke this in "consolidate cond_syscall and
SYSCALL_ALIAS declarations" (in linux-next), and he's not the first to
do so.
Using CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX is awkward, since we usually just want to
prefix it so something. So various places define helpers which are
defined to nothing if CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX isn't set:
1) include/asm-generic/unistd.h defines __SYMBOL_PREFIX.
2) include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h defines VMLINUX_SYMBOL(sym)
3) include/linux/export.h defines MODULE_SYMBOL_PREFIX.
4) include/linux/kernel.h defines SYMBOL_PREFIX (which differs from #7)
5) kernel/modsign_certificate.S defines ASM_SYMBOL(sym)
6) scripts/modpost.c defines MODULE_SYMBOL_PREFIX
7) scripts/Makefile.lib defines SYMBOL_PREFIX on the commandline if
CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX is set, so that we have a non-string version
for pasting.
(arch/h8300/include/asm/linkage.h defines SYMBOL_NAME(), too).
Let's solve this properly:
1) No more generic prefix, just CONFIG_HAVE_UNDERSCORE_SYMBOL_PREFIX.
2) Make linux/export.h usable from asm.
3) Define VMLINUX_SYMBOL() and VMLINUX_SYMBOL_STR().
4) Make everyone use them.

On 64 bit architectures with no efficient unaligned access, padding and
explicit alignment must be added in various places to prevent unaligned
64bit accesses (such as taskstats and trace ring buffer).
However this also needs to apply to 32 bit architectures with 64 bit
accesses requiring alignment such as metag.
This is solved by adding a new Kconfig symbol HAVE_64BIT_ALIGNED_ACCESS
which defaults to 64BIT && !HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS, and can be
explicitly selected by METAG and any other relevant architectures. This
can be used in various places to determine whether 64bit alignment is
required.

Pull big execve/kernel_thread/fork unification series from Al Viro:
"All architectures are converted to new model. Quite a bit of that
stuff is actually shared with architecture trees; in such cases it's
literally shared branch pulled by both, not a cherry-pick.
A lot of ugliness and black magic is gone (-3KLoC total in this one):
- kernel_thread()/kernel_execve()/sys_execve() redesign.
We don't do syscalls from kernel anymore for either kernel_thread()
or kernel_execve():
kernel_thread() is essentially clone(2) with callback run before we
return to userland, the callbacks either never return or do
successful do_execve() before returning.
kernel_execve() is a wrapper for do_execve() - it doesn't need to
do transition to user mode anymore.
As a result kernel_thread() and kernel_execve() are
arch-independent now - they live in kernel/fork.c and fs/exec.c
resp. sys_execve() is also in fs/exec.c and it's completely
architecture-independent.
- daemonize() is gone, along with its parts in fs/*.c
- struct pt_regs * is no longer passed to do_fork/copy_process/
copy_thread/do_execve/search_binary_handler/->load_binary/do_coredump.
- sys_fork()/sys_vfork()/sys_clone() unified; some architectures
still need wrappers (ones with callee-saved registers not saved in
pt_regs on syscall entry), but the main part of those suckers is in

Since GCC 4.4, there have been __builtin_bswap32() and __builtin_bswap16()
intrinsics. A __builtin_bswap16() came a little later (4.6 for PowerPC,
48 for other platforms).
By using these instead of the inline assembler that most architectures
have in their __arch_swabXX() macros, we let the compiler see what's
actually happening. The resulting code should be at least as good, and
much *better* in the cases where it can be combined with a nearby load
or store, using a load-and-byteswap or store-and-byteswap instruction
(e.g. lwbrx/stwbrx on PowerPC, movbe on Atom).
When GCC is sufficiently recent *and* the architecture opts in to using
the intrinsics by setting CONFIG_ARCH_USE_BUILTIN_BSWAP, they will be
used in preference to the __arch_swabXX() macros. An architecture which
does not set ARCH_USE_BUILTIN_BSWAP will continue to use its own
hand-crafted macros.

Create a new subsystem that probes on kernel boundaries
to keep track of the transitions between level contexts

This is an abstraction of some RCU code that use such tracking
to implement its userspace extended quiescent state.
We need to pull this up from RCU into this new level of indirection
because this tracking is also going to be used to implement an "on

Adding new architectures to the TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE config option can

This patch adds a HAVE_ARCH_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE instead. x86 already has

HAVE_ARCH_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE can be selected in arch/x86/Kconfig.

make sure the libtraceevent format parsing regressions can be more
readily caught.
- Some strange errors were happening in some builds, but not on the

files, generated during the build, didn't had proper make deps, fix

Use the mapping of Elf_[SPE]hdr, Elf_Addr, Elf_Sym, Elf_Dyn, Elf_Rel/Rela,
ELF_R_TYPE() and ELF_R_SYM() to either the 32-bit version or the 64-bit version
into asm-generic/module.h for all arches bar MIPS.
Also, use the generic definition mod_arch_specific where possible.
To this end, I've defined three new config bools:
(*) HAVE_MOD_ARCH_SPECIFIC
Arches define this if they don't want to use the empty generic
mod_arch_specific struct.
(*) MODULES_USE_ELF_RELA
Arches define this if their modules can contain RELA records. This causes
the Elf_Rela mapping to be emitted and allows apply_relocate_add() to be
defined by the arch rather than have the core emit an error message.
(*) MODULES_USE_ELF_REL
Arches define this if their modules can contain REL records. This causes
the Elf_Rel mapping to be emitted and allows apply_relocate() to be
defined by the arch rather than have the core emit an error message.
Note that it is possible to allow both REL and RELA records: m68k and mips are
two arches that do this.
With this, some arch asm/module.h files can be deleted entirely and replaced
with a generic-y marker in the arch Kbuild file.
Additionally, I have removed the bits from m32r and score that handle the
unsupported type of relocation record as that's now handled centrally.

There is no known reason for this option to be unavailable on other
archs than x86. They just need to call enable_sched_clock_irqtime()
if they have a sufficiently finegrained clock to make it working.
Move it to the general option and let the user choose between
it and pure tick based or virtual cputime accounting.
Note that virtual cputime accounting already performs a finegrained
irqtime accounting. CONFIG_IRQ_TIME_ACCOUNTING is a kind of middle ground
between tick and virtual based accounting. So CONFIG_IRQ_TIME_ACCOUNTING
and CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING are mutually exclusive choices.

Introducing PERF_SAMPLE_STACK_USER sample type bit to trigger the dump
of the user level stack on sample. The size of the dump is specified by
sample_stack_user value.
Being able to dump parts of the user stack, starting from the stack
pointer, will be useful to make a post mortem dwarf CFI based stack
unwinding.
Added HAVE_PERF_USER_STACK_DUMP config option to determine if the
architecture provides user stack dump on perf event samples. This needs
access to the user stack pointer which is not unified across
architectures. Enabling this for x86 architecture.

This brings a new API to help the selective dump of registers on event
sampling, and its implementation for x86 arch.
Added HAVE_PERF_REGS config option to determine if the architecture
provides perf registers ABI.
The information about desired registers will be passed in u64 mask.
It's up to the architecture to map the registers into the mask bits.
For the x86 arch implementation, both 32 and 64 bit registers bits are
defined within single enum to ensure 64 bit system can provide register
dump for compat task if needed in the future.

Pull CMA and ARM DMA-mapping updates from Marek Szyprowski:
"These patches contain two major updates for DMA mapping subsystem
(mainly for ARM architecture). First one is Contiguous Memory
Allocator (CMA) which makes it possible for device drivers to allocate
big contiguous chunks of memory after the system has booted.
The main difference from the similar frameworks is the fact that CMA
allows to transparently reuse the memory region reserved for the big
chunk allocation as a system memory, so no memory is wasted when no
big chunk is allocated. Once the alloc request is issued, the
framework migrates system pages to create space for the required big
chunk of physically contiguous memory.
For more information one can refer to nice LWN articles:
- 'A reworked contiguous memory allocator':
http://lwn.net/Articles/447405/
- 'CMA and ARM':
http://lwn.net/Articles/450286/
- 'A deep dive into CMA':
http://lwn.net/Articles/486301/
- and the following thread with the patches and links to all previous
versions:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/4/3/204
The main client for this new framework is ARM DMA-mapping subsystem.
The second part provides a complete redesign in ARM DMA-mapping
subsystem. The core implementation has been changed to use common
struct dma_map_ops based infrastructure with the recent updates for
new dma attributes merged in v3.4-rc2. This allows to use more than
one implementation of dma-mapping calls and change/select them on the
struct device basis. The first client of this new infractructure is
dmabounce implementation which has been completely cut out of the
core, common code.
The last patch of this redesign update introduces a new, experimental
implementation of dma-mapping calls on top of generic IOMMU framework.
This lets ARM sub-platform to transparently use IOMMU for DMA-mapping
calls if one provides required IOMMU hardware.
For more information please refer to the following thread:
http://www.spinics.net/lists/arm-kernel/msg175729.html
The last patch merges changes from both updates and provides a
resolution for the conflicts which cannot be avoided when patches have
been applied on the same files (mainly arch/arm/mm/dma-mapping.c)."

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

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."

The Contiguous Memory Allocator is a set of helper functions for DMA
mapping framework that improves allocations of contiguous memory chunks.
CMA grabs memory on system boot, marks it with MIGRATE_CMA migrate type
and gives back to the system. Kernel is allowed to allocate only movable
pages within CMA's managed memory so that it can be used for example for
page cache when DMA mapping do not use it. On
dma_alloc_from_contiguous() request such pages are migrated out of CMA
area to free required contiguous block and fulfill the request. This
allows to allocate large contiguous chunks of memory at any time
assuming that there is enough free memory available in the system.
This code is heavily based on earlier works by Michal Nazarewicz.

All SMP architectures have magic to fork the idle task and to store it
for reusage when cpu hotplug is enabled. Provide a generic
infrastructure for it.
Create/reinit the idle thread for the cpu which is brought up in the
generic code and hand the thread pointer to the architecture code via
__cpu_up().
Note, that fork_idle() is called via a workqueue, because this
guarantees that the idle thread does not get a reference to a user
space VM. This can happen when the boot process did not bring up all
possible cpus and a later cpu_up() is initiated via the sysfs
interface. In that case fork_idle() would be called in the context of
the user space task and take a reference on the user space VM.

This change adds support for a new ptrace option, PTRACE_O_TRACESECCOMP,
and a new return value for seccomp BPF programs, SECCOMP_RET_TRACE.
When a tracer specifies the PTRACE_O_TRACESECCOMP ptrace option, the
tracer will be notified, via PTRACE_EVENT_SECCOMP, for any syscall that
results in a BPF program returning SECCOMP_RET_TRACE. The 16-bit
SECCOMP_RET_DATA mask of the BPF program return value will be passed as
the ptrace_message and may be retrieved using PTRACE_GETEVENTMSG.
If the subordinate process is not using seccomp filter, then no
system call notifications will occur even if the option is specified.
If there is no tracer with PTRACE_O_TRACESECCOMP when SECCOMP_RET_TRACE
is returned, the system call will not be executed and an -ENOSYS errno
will be returned to userspace.
This change adds a dependency on the system call slow path. Any future
efforts to use the system call fast path for seccomp filter will need to
address this restriction.

This change adds the SECCOMP_RET_ERRNO as a valid return value from a
seccomp filter. Additionally, it makes the first use of the lower
16-bits for storing a filter-supplied errno. 16-bits is more than
enough for the errno-base.h calls.
Returning errors instead of immediately terminating processes that
violate seccomp policy allow for broader use of this functionality
for kernel attack surface reduction. For example, a linux container
could maintain a whitelist of pre-existing system calls but drop
all new ones with errnos. This would keep a logically static attack
surface while providing errnos that may allow for graceful failure
without the downside of do_exit() on a bad call.
This change also changes the signature of __secure_computing. It
appears the only direct caller is the arm entry code and it clobbers
any possible return value (register) immediately.

]
This patch adds support for seccomp mode 2. Mode 2 introduces the
ability for unprivileged processes to install system call filtering
policy expressed in terms of a Berkeley Packet Filter (BPF) program.
This program will be evaluated in the kernel for each system call
the task makes and computes a result based on data in the format
of struct seccomp_data.
A filter program may be installed by calling:
struct sock_fprog fprog = { ... };
...
prctl(PR_SET_SECCOMP, SECCOMP_MODE_FILTER, &fprog);
The return value of the filter program determines if the system call is
allowed to proceed or denied. If the first filter program installed
allows prctl(2) calls, then the above call may be made repeatedly
by a task to further reduce its access to the kernel. All attached
programs must be evaluated before a system call will be allowed to
proceed.
Filter programs will be inherited across fork/clone and execve.
However, if the task attaching the filter is unprivileged
(!CAP_SYS_ADMIN) the no_new_privs bit will be set on the task. This
ensures that unprivileged tasks cannot attach filters that affect
privileged tasks (e.g., setuid binary).
There are a number of benefits to this approach. A few of which are
as follows:
- BPF has been exposed to userland for a long time
- BPF optimization (and JIT'ing) are well understood
- Userland already knows its ABI: system call numbers and desired
arguments
- No time-of-check-time-of-use vulnerable data accesses are possible.
- system call arguments are loaded on access only to minimize copying
required for system call policy decisions.
Mode 2 support is restricted to architectures that enable
HAVE_ARCH_SECCOMP_FILTER. In this patch, the primary dependency is on
syscall_get_arguments(). The full desired scope of this feature will
add a few minor additional requirements expressed later in this series.
Based on discussion, SECCOMP_RET_ERRNO and SECCOMP_RET_TRACE seem to be
the desired additional functionality.
No architectures are enabled in this patch.

When using the "compat" APIs, architectures will generally want to
be able to make direct syscalls to msgsnd(), shmctl(), etc., and
in the kernel we would want them to be handled directly by
compat_sys_xxx() functions, as is true for other compat syscalls.
However, for historical reasons, several of the existing compat IPC
syscalls do not do this. semctl() expects a pointer to the fourth
argument, instead of the fourth argument itself. msgsnd(), msgrcv()
and shmat() expect arguments in different order.
This change adds an ARCH_WANT_OLD_COMPAT_IPC config option that can be
set to preserve this behavior for ports that use it (x86, sparc, powerpc,
s390, and mips). No actual semantics are changed for those architectures,
and there is only a minimal amount of code refactoring in ipc/compat.c.
Newer architectures like tile (and perhaps future architectures such
as arm64 and unicore64) should not select this option, and thus can
avoid having any IPC-specific code at all in their architecture-specific
compat layer. In the same vein, if this option is not selected, IPC_64
mode is assumed, since that's what the <asm-generic> headers expect.
The workaround code in "tile" for msgsnd() and msgrcv() is removed
with this change; it also fixes the bug that shmat() and semctl() were
not being properly handled.

So here's a boot tested patch on top of Jason's series that does
all the cleanups I talked about and turns jump labels into a
more intuitive to use facility. It should also address the
various misconceptions and confusions that surround jump labels.
Typical usage scenarios:
#include <linux/static_key.h>
struct static_key key = STATIC_KEY_INIT_TRUE;
if (static_key_false(&key))
do unlikely code
else
do likely code
Or:
if (static_key_true(&key))
do likely code
else
do unlikely code
The static key is modified via:
static_key_slow_inc(&key);
...
static_key_slow_dec(&key);
The 'slow' prefix makes it abundantly clear that this is an
expensive operation.
I've updated all in-kernel code to use this everywhere. Note
that I (intentionally) have not pushed through the rename
blindly through to the lowest levels: the actual jump-label
patching arch facility should be named like that, so we want to
decouple jump labels from the static-key facility a bit.
On non-jump-label enabled architectures static keys default to
likely()/unlikely() branches.

Add uprobes support to the core kernel, with x86 support.
This commit adds the kernel facilities, the actual uprobes
user-space ABI and perf probe support comes in later commits.
General design:
Uprobes are maintained in an rb-tree indexed by inode and offset
(the offset here is from the start of the mapping). For a unique
(inode, offset) tuple, there can be at most one uprobe in the
rb-tree.
Since the (inode, offset) tuple identifies a unique uprobe, more
than one user may be interested in the same uprobe. This provides
the ability to connect multiple 'consumers' to the same uprobe.
Each consumer defines a handler and a filter (optional). The
'handler' is run every time the uprobe is hit, if it matches the
'filter' criteria.
The first consumer of a uprobe causes the breakpoint to be
inserted at the specified address and subsequent consumers are
appended to this list. On subsequent probes, the consumer gets
appended to the existing list of consumers. The breakpoint is
removed when the last consumer unregisters. For all other
unregisterations, the consumer is removed from the list of
consumers.
Given a inode, we get a list of the mms that have mapped the
inode. Do the actual registration if mm maps the page where a
probe needs to be inserted/removed.
We use a temporary list to walk through the vmas that map the
inode.
- The number of maps that map the inode, is not known before we
walk the rmap and keeps changing.
- extending vm_area_struct wasn't recommended, it's a
size-critical data structure.
- There can be more than one maps of the inode in the same mm.
We add callbacks to the mmap methods to keep an eye on text vmas
that are of interest to uprobes. When a vma of interest is mapped,
we insert the breakpoint at the right address.
Uprobe works by replacing the instruction at the address defined
by (inode, offset) with the arch specific breakpoint
instruction. We save a copy of the original instruction at the
uprobed address.
This is needed for:
a. executing the instruction out-of-line (xol).
b. instruction analysis for any subsequent fixups.
c. restoring the instruction back when the uprobe is unregistered.
We insert or delete a breakpoint instruction, and this
breakpoint instruction is assumed to be the smallest instruction
available on the platform. For fixed size instruction platforms
this is trivially true, for variable size instruction platforms
the breakpoint instruction is typically the smallest (often a
single byte).
Writing the instruction is done by COWing the page and changing
the instruction during the copy, this even though most platforms
allow atomic writes of the breakpoint instruction. This also
mirrors the behaviour of a ptrace() memory write to a PRIVATE
file map.
The core worker is derived from KSM's replace_page() logic.
In essence, similar to KSM:
a. allocate a new page and copy over contents of the page that
has the uprobed vaddr
b. modify the copy and insert the breakpoint at the required
address
c. switch the original page with the copy containing the
breakpoint
d. flush page tables.
replace_page() is being replicated here because of some minor
changes in the type of pages and also because Hugh Dickins had
plans to improve replace_page() for KSM specific work.
Instruction analysis on x86 is based on instruction decoder and
determines if an instruction can be probed and determines the
necessary fixups after singlestep. Instruction analysis is done
at probe insertion time so that we avoid having to repeat the
same analysis every time a probe is hit.
A lot of code here is due to the improvement/suggestions/inputs
from Peter Zijlstra.

While implementing cmpxchg_double() on s390 I realized that we don't set
CONFIG_CMPXCHG_LOCAL despite the fact that we have support for it.
However setting that option will increase the size of struct page by
eight bytes on 64 bit, which we certainly do not want. Also, it doesn't
make sense that a present cpu feature should increase the size of struct
page.
Besides that it looks like the dependency to CMPXCHG_LOCAL is wrong and
that it should depend on CMPXCHG_DOUBLE instead.
This patch:
If an architecture supports CMPXCHG_LOCAL this shouldn't result
automatically in larger struct pages if the SLUB allocator is used.
Instead introduce a new config option "HAVE_ALIGNED_STRUCT_PAGE" which
can be selected if a double word aligned struct page is required. Also
update x86 Kconfig so that it should work as before.

The legacy x86 nmi watchdog code was removed with the implementation
of the perf based nmi watchdog. This broke Oprofile's nmi timer
mode. To run nmi timer mode we relied on a continuous ticking nmi
source which the nmi watchdog provided. The nmi tick was no longer
available and current watchdog can not be used anymore since it runs
with very long periods in the range of seconds. This patch
reimplements the nmi timer mode using a perf counter nmi source.

cmpxchg() is widely used by lockless code, including NMI-safe lockless
code. But on some architectures, the cmpxchg() implementation is not
NMI-safe, on these architectures the lockless code may need a
spin_trylock_irqsave() based implementation.
This patch adds a Kconfig option: ARCH_HAVE_NMI_SAFE_CMPXCHG, so that
NMI-safe lockless code can depend on it or provide different
implementation according to it.
On many architectures, cmpxchg is only NMI-safe for several specific
operand sizes. So, ARCH_HAVE_NMI_SAFE_CMPXCHG define in this patch
only guarantees cmpxchg is NMI-safe for sizeof(unsigned long).

The spinning mutex implementation uses cpu_relax() in busy loops as a
compiler barrier. Depending on the architecture, cpu_relax() may do more
than needed in this specific mutex spin loops. On System z we also give
up the time slice of the virtual cpu in cpu_relax(), which prevents
effective spinning on the mutex.
This patch replaces cpu_relax() in the spinning mutex code with
arch_mutex_cpu_relax(), which can be defined by each architecture that
selects HAVE_ARCH_MUTEX_CPU_RELAX. The default is still cpu_relax(), so
this patch should not affect other architectures than System z for now.

On i386 (not x86_64) early implementations of gcc would have a bug
with asm goto causing it to produce code like the following:
(This was noticed by Peter Zijlstra)
56 pushl 0
67 nopl jmp 0x6f
popl
jmp 0x8c
6f mov
test
je 0x8c
8c mov
call *(%esp)
The jump added in the asm goto skipped over the popl that matched
the pushl 0, which lead up to a quick crash of the system when
the jump was enabled. The nopl is defined in the asm goto () statement
and when tracepoints are enabled, the nop changes to a jump to the label
that was specified by the asm goto. asm goto is suppose to tell gcc that
the code in the asm might jump to an external label. Here gcc obviously
fails to make that work.
The bug report for gcc is here:
http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=46226
The bug only appears on x86 when not compiled with
-maccumulate-outgoing-args. This option is always set on x86_64 and it
is also the work around for a function graph tracer i386 bug.
(See commit: 746357d6a5)
This explains why the bug only showed up on i386 when function graph
tracer was not enabled.
This patch now adds a CONFIG_JUMP_LABEL option that is default
off instead of using jump labels by default. When jump labels are
enabled, the -maccumulate-outgoing-args will be used (causing a
slightly larger kernel image on i386). This option will exist
until we have a way to detect if the gcc compiler in use is safe
to use on all configurations without the work around.
Note, there exists such a test, but for now we will keep the enabling
of jump label as a manual option.
Archs that know the compiler is safe with asm goto, may choose to
select JUMP_LABEL and enable it by default.

base patch to implement 'jump labeling'. Based on a new 'asm goto' inline
assembly gcc mechanism, we can now branch to labels from an 'asm goto'
statment. This allows us to create a 'no-op' fastpath, which can subsequently
be patched with a jump to the slowpath code. This is useful for code which
might be rarely used, but which we'd like to be able to call, if needed.
Tracepoints are the current usecase that these are being implemented for.

Fix Kconfig dependency among Kprobes, optprobe and kallsyms.
Kprobes uses kallsyms_lookup for finding target function and
checking instruction boundary, thus CONFIG_KPROBES should select
CONFIG_KALLSYMS.
Optprobe is an optional feature which is supported on x86 arch,
and it also uses kallsyms_lookup for checking instructions in
the target function. Since KALLSYMS_ALL just adds symbols of
kernel variables, it doesn't need to select KALLSYMS_ALL.

This new config is deemed to simplify even more the lockup detector
dependencies and can make it easier to bring a smooth sorting
between archs that support the new generic lockup detector and those
that still have their own, especially for those that are in the
middle of this migration.
Instead of checking whether we have CONFIG_LOCKUP_DETECTOR +
CONFIG_PERF_EVENTS_NMI each time an arch wants to know if it needs
to build its own lockup detector, take a shortcut with this new
config. It is enabled only if the hardlockup detection part of
the whole lockup detector is on.

CONFIG_PERF_EVENT_NMI is something that need to be enabled from the
arch. This is fine on x86 as PERF_EVENTS is builtin but if other
archs select it, they will need to handle the PERF_EVENTS dependency.
Instead, handle the dependency in the generic layer:
- archs need to tell what they support through HAVE_PERF_EVENTS_NMI
- Enable magically PERF_EVENTS_NMI if we have PERF_EVENTS and
HAVE_PERF_EVENTS_NMI.

There are two outstanding fashions for archs to implement hardware
breakpoints.
The first is to separate breakpoint address pattern definition
space between data and instruction breakpoints. We then have
typically distinct instruction address breakpoint registers
and data address breakpoint registers, delivered with
separate control registers for data and instruction breakpoints
as well. This is the case of PowerPc and ARM for example.
The second consists in having merged breakpoint address space
definition between data and instruction breakpoint. Address
registers can host either instruction or data address and
the access mode for the breakpoint is defined in a control
register. This is the case of x86 and Super H.
This patch adds a new CONFIG_HAVE_MIXED_BREAKPOINTS_REGS config
that archs can select if they belong to the second case. Those
will have their slot allocation merged for instructions and
data breakpoints.
The others will have a separate slot tracking between data and
instruction breakpoints.

The kbuild's select command doesn't propagate through the config
dependencies.
Hence the current rules of hardware breakpoint's config can't
ensure perf can never be disabled under us.
We have:
config X86
selects HAVE_HW_BREAKPOINTS
config HAVE_HW_BREAKPOINTS
select PERF_EVENTS
config PERF_EVENTS
[...]
x86 will select the breakpoints but that won't propagate to perf
events. The user can still disable the latter, but it is
necessary for the breakpoints.
What we need is:
- x86 selects HAVE_HW_BREAKPOINTS and PERF_EVENTS
- HAVE_HW_BREAKPOINTS depends on PERF_EVENTS
so that we ensure PERF_EVENTS is enabled and frozen for x86.
This fixes the following kind of build errors:

This patch rebase the implementation of the breakpoints API on top of
perf events instances.
Each breakpoints are now perf events that handle the
register scheduling, thread/cpu attachment, etc..
The new layering is now made as follows:
ptrace kgdb ftrace perf syscall
\ | / /
\ | / /
/
Core breakpoint API /
/
| /
| /
Breakpoints perf events
|
|
Breakpoints PMU ---- Debug Register constraints handling
(Part of core breakpoint API)
|
|
Hardware debug registers
Reasons of this rewrite:
- Use the centralized/optimized pmu registers scheduling,
implying an easier arch integration
- More powerful register handling: perf attributes (pinned/flexible
events, exclusive/non-exclusive, tunable period, etc...)
Impact:
- New perf ABI: the hardware breakpoints counters
- Ptrace breakpoints setting remains tricky and still needs some per
thread breakpoints references.
Todo (in the order):
- Support breakpoints perf counter events for perf tools (ie: implement
perf_bpcounter_event())
- Support from perf tools
Changes in v2:
- Follow the perf "event " rename
- The ptrace regression have been fixed (ptrace breakpoint perf events
weren't released when a task ended)
- Drop the struct hw_breakpoint and store generic fields in
perf_event_attr.
- Separate core and arch specific headers, drop
asm-generic/hw_breakpoint.h and create linux/hw_breakpoint.h
- Use new generic len/type for breakpoint
- Handle off case: when breakpoints api is not supported by an arch
Changes in v3:
- Fix broken CONFIG_KVM, we need to propagate the breakpoint api
changes to kvm when we exit the guest and restore the bp registers
to the host.
Changes in v4:
- Drop the hw_breakpoint_restore() stub as it is only used by KVM
- EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL hw_breakpoint_restore() as KVM can be built as a
module
- Restore the breakpoints unconditionally on kvm guest exit:
TIF_DEBUG_THREAD doesn't anymore cover every cases of running
breakpoints and vcpu->arch.switch_db_regs might not always be
set when the guest used debug registers.
(Waiting for a reliable optimization)
Changes in v5:
- Split-up the asm-generic/hw-breakpoint.h moving to
linux/hw_breakpoint.h into a separate patch
- Optimize the breakpoints restoring while switching from kvm guest
to host. We only want to restore the state if we have active
breakpoints to the host, otherwise we don't care about messed-up
address registers.
- Add asm/hw_breakpoint.h to Kbuild
- Fix bad breakpoint type in trace_selftest.c
Changes in v6:
- Fix wrong header inclusion in trace.h (triggered a build
error with CONFIG_FTRACE_SELFTEST

Add a general per-cpu notifier that is called whenever the kernel is
about to return to userspace. The notifier uses a thread_info flag
and existing checks, so there is no impact on user return or context
switch fast paths.
This will be used initially to speed up KVM task switching by lazily

The number of hardware counters is limited. The multiplexing feature
enables OProfile to gather more events than counters are provided by
the hardware. This is realized by switching between events at an user
specified time interval.
A new file (/dev/oprofile/time_slice) is added for the user to specify
the timer interval in ms. If the number of events to profile is higher
than the number of hardware counters available, the patch will
schedule a work queue that switches the event counter and re-writes
the different sets of values into it. The switching mechanism needs to
be implemented for each architecture to support multiplexing. This
patch only implements AMD CPU support, but multiplexing can be easily
extended for other models and architectures.
There are follow-on patches that rework parts of this patch.

Enable the use of GCC's coverage testing tool gcov [1] with the Linux
kernel. gcov may be useful for:
* debugging (has this code been reached at all?)
* test improvement (how do I change my test to cover these lines?)
* minimizing kernel configurations (do I need this option if the
associated code is never run?)
The profiling patch incorporates the following changes:
* change kbuild to include profiling flags
* provide functions needed by profiling code
* present profiling data as files in debugfs
Note that on some architectures, enabling gcc's profiling option
"-fprofile-arcs" for the entire kernel may trigger compile/link/
run-time problems, some of which are caused by toolchain bugs and
others which require adjustment of architecture code.
For this reason profiling the entire kernel is initially restricted
to those architectures for which it is known to work without changes.
This restriction can be lifted once an architecture has been tested
and found compatible with gcc's profiling. Profiling of single files
or directories is still available on all platforms (see config help
text).

This patch introduces the generic Hardware Breakpoint interfaces for both user
and kernel space requests.
This core Api handles the hardware breakpoints through new helpers. It
handles the user-space breakpoints and kernel breakpoints in front of
arch implementation.
One can choose kernel wide breakpoints using the following helpers
and passing them a generic struct hw_breakpoint:
- register_kernel_hw_breakpoint()
- unregister_kernel_hw_breakpoint()
- modify_kernel_hw_breakpoint()
On the other side, you can choose per task breakpoints.
- register_user_hw_breakpoint()
- unregister_user_hw_breakpoint()
- modify_user_hw_breakpoint()

Impact: performance regression fix for s390
The adaptive spinning mutexes will not always do what one would expect on
virtualized architectures like s390. Especially the cpu_relax() loop in
mutex_spin_on_owner might hurt if the mutex holding cpu has been scheduled
away by the hypervisor.
We would end up in a cpu_relax() loop when there is no chance that the
state of the mutex changes until the target cpu has been scheduled again by
the hypervisor.
For that reason we should change the default behaviour to no-spin on s390.
We do have an instruction which allows to yield the current cpu in favour of
a different target cpu. Also we have an instruction which allows us to figure
out if the target cpu is physically backed.
However we need to do some performance tests until we can come up with
a solution that will do the right thing on s390.

By selecting HAVE_SYSCALL_WRAPPERS architectures can activate

All architectures where the ABI defines that the caller of a function
has to perform sign extension probably need this.

Using "def_bool n" is pointless, simply using bool here appears more
appropriate.
Further, retaining such options that don't have a prompt and aren't
selected by anything seems also at least questionable.

This adds the generic HAVE_ARCH_TRACEHOOK kconfig item. Each arch should
add to some Kconfig file:
select HAVE_ARCH_TRACEHOOK
if the arch code uses all the latest hooks to enable newfangled tracing
and debugging code. The comment in arch/Kconfig lists all the
prerequisite arch support. When all these are available, setting
HAVE_ARCH_TRACEHOOK will allow enabling any new features that depend on
the modern arch interfaces.

In many cases, especially in networking, it can be beneficial to know at
compile time whether the architecture can do unaligned accesses efficiently.
This patch introduces a new Kconfig symbol
HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS
for that purpose and adds it to the powerpc and x86 architectures. Also add
some documentation about alignment and networking, and especially one intended
use of this symbol.

Flag platforms as HAVE_CLK (or not) in Kconfig, based on whether they
support <linux/clk.h> calls, so that otherwise portable drivers which need
those calls can list that dependency.
Something like this is a prerequisite for merging the musb_hdrc driver,
currently used on platforms including Davinci, OMAP2430, OMAP3xx ... and
the discrete TUSB6010 chip, which doesn't have a natural platform
dependency. (Used with OMAP 2420 in current Nokia N8x0 tablets.)
