The callback was used by TUI for determining color of folded sign

since it now support dynamic reordering of output field.
So move the logic to the hist_browser__show_entry().

Until now the hpp and sort functions do similar jobs different ways.
Since the sort functions converted/wrapped to hpp formats it can do
the job in a uniform way.
The perf_hpp__sort_list has a list of hpp formats to sort entries and
the perf_hpp__list has a list of hpp formats to print output result.
To have a backward compatibility, it automatically adds 'overhead'
field in front of sort list. And then all of fields in sort list
added to the output list (if it's not already there).

This patch fixes a bug in precise_store_data_hsw() whereby
it would set the data source memory level to the wrong value.
As per the the SDM Vol 3b Table 18-41 (Layout of Data Linear
Address Information in PEBS Record), when status bit 0 is set
this is a L1 hit, otherwise this is a L1 miss.
This patch encodes the memory level according to the specification.
In V2, we added the filtering on the store events.
Only the following events produce L1 information:
* MEM_UOPS_RETIRED.STLB_MISS_STORES
* MEM_UOPS_RETIRED.LOCK_STORES
* MEM_UOPS_RETIRED.SPLIT_STORES
* MEM_UOPS_RETIRED.ALL_STORES

Vince noticed that we test the (unsigned long) flags field against an
(unsigned int) constant. This would allow setting the high bits on 64bit
platforms and not get an error.
There is nothing that uses the high bits, so it should be entirely
harmless, but we don't want userspace to accidentally set them anyway,
so fix the constants.

search proper map group for symbols. However with the map sharing

It fixes a bug when each thread has different name, it only reports a

Currently perf record doesn't propagate the exit status of a workload
given by the command line. But sometimes it'd useful if it's
propagated so that a monitoring script can handle errors
appropriately.
To do that, it moves most of logic out of the exit handlers and run
them directly in the __cmd_record(). The only thing needs to be done
in the handler is propagating terminating signal so that the shell can
terminate its loop properly when Ctrl-C was pressed. Also it cleaned
up the resource management code in record__exit().
With this change, perf record returns the child exit status in case of
normal termination and send signal to itself when terminated by signal.
Example run of Stephane's case:
$ perf record true && echo yes || echo no
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.013 MB perf.data (~589 samples) ]
yes
$ perf record false && echo yes || echo no
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.013 MB perf.data (~589 samples) ]
no
Jiri's case (error in parent):
$ perf record -m 10G true && echo yes || echo no
rounding mmap pages size to 17179869184 bytes (4194304 pages)
failed to mmap with 12 (Cannot allocate memory)
no
$ ulimit -n 6
$ perf record sleep 1 && echo yes || echo no
failed to create 'go' pipe: Too many open files
Couldn't run the workload!
no
And Peter's case (interrupted by signal):
$ while :; do perf record sleep 1; done
^C[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.014 MB perf.data (~593 samples) ]

In output of perf sched map, any shortname of thread will be explained
at the first time when it appear.
Example:

. *C0 228836.979099 secs C0 => migration/3:22
*A0 . C0 228836.979115 secs
A0 . *. 228836.979115 secs
But B0, which is explained as swapper:0 did not appear in the
left part of output. Instead, we use '.' as the shortname of
swapper:0. So the comment of "B0 => swapper:0" is not easy to
understand.
This patch clarify the output of perf sched map with not allocating
one letter-number shortname for swapper:0 and print ". => swapper:0"
as the explanation for swapper:0.
Example:
*A0 228836.978985 secs A0 => perf:23032

Commit 38b435b16c ("perf: Fix tear-down of inherited group events")
states that we need to destroy groups for inherited events, but it
doesn't make any sense to not also destroy groups for normal events.
And while it usually makes no difference (the normal events won't
leak, and its very likely all the group events will die in quick
succession) it does make the code more consistent and closes a
potential hole for trouble.

When removing a (sibling) event we do:
raw_spin_lock_irq(&ctx->lock);
perf_group_detach(event);
raw_spin_unlock_irq(&ctx->lock);
<hole>
perf_remove_from_context(event);
raw_spin_lock_irq(&ctx->lock);
...
raw_spin_unlock_irq(&ctx->lock);
Now, assuming the event is a sibling, it will be 'unreachable' for
things like ctx_sched_out() because that iterates the
groups->siblings, and we just unhooked the sibling.
So, if during <hole> we get ctx_sched_out(), it will miss the event
and not call event_sched_out() on it, leaving it programmed on the
PMU.
The subsequent perf_remove_from_context() call will find the ctx is
inactive and only call list_del_event() to remove the event from all
other lists.
Hereafter we can proceed to free the event; while still programmed!
Close this hole by moving perf_group_detach() inside the same
ctx->lock region(s) perf_remove_from_context() has.
The condition on inherited events only in __perf_event_exit_task() is
likely complete crap because non-inherited events are part of groups
too and we're tearing down just the same. But leave that for another
patch.

On 64-bit systems, O_LARGEFILE is automatically added to flags inside
the open() syscall (also openat(), blkdev_open(), etc). Userspace
therefore defines O_LARGEFILE to be 0 - you can use it, but it's a
no-op. Everything should be O_LARGEFILE by default.
But: when fanotify does create_fd() it uses dentry_open(), which skips
all that. And userspace can't set O_LARGEFILE in fanotify_init()
because it's defined to 0. So if fanotify gets an event regarding a
large file, the read() will just fail with -EOVERFLOW.
This patch adds O_LARGEFILE to fanotify_init()'s event_f_flags on 64-bit
systems, using the same test as open()/openat()/etc.

This reverts commit 0bf1457f0c ("mm: vmscan: do not swap anon pages
just because free+file is low") because it introduced a regression in
mostly-anonymous workloads, where reclaim would become ineffective and
trap every allocating task in direct reclaim.
The problem is that there is a runaway feedback loop in the scan balance
between file and anon, where the balance tips heavily towards a tiny
thrashing file LRU and anonymous pages are no longer being looked at.
The commit in question removed the safe guard that would detect such
situations and respond with forced anonymous reclaim.
This commit was part of a series to fix premature swapping in loads with
relatively little cache, and while it made a small difference, the cure
is obviously worse than the disease. Revert it.

autofs needs to be able to see private data dentry flags for its dentrys
that are being created but not yet hashed and for its dentrys that have
been rmdir()ed but not yet freed. It needs to do this so it can block
processes in these states until a status has been returned to indicate
the given operation is complete.
It does this by keeping two lists, active and expring, of dentrys in
this state and uses ->d_release() to keep them stable while it checks
the reference count to determine if they should be used.
But with the recent lockref changes dentrys being freed sometimes don't
transition to a reference count of 0 before being freed so autofs can
occassionally use a dentry that is invalid which can lead to a panic.

Dave Jones reports the following crash when find_get_pages_tag() runs
into an exceptional entry:

1346 */
1347 BUG();
After commit 0cd6144aad ("mm + fs: prepare for non-page entries in
page cache radix trees") this comment and BUG() are out of date because
exceptional entries can now appear in all mappings - as shadows of
recently evicted pages.
However, as Hugh Dickins notes,
"it is truly surprising for a PAGECACHE_TAG_WRITEBACK (and probably
any other PAGECACHE_TAG_*) to appear on an exceptional entry.
I expect it comes down to an occasional race in RCU lookup of the
radix_tree: lacking absolute synchronization, we might sometimes
catch an exceptional entry, with the tag which really belongs with
the unexceptional entry which was there an instant before."
And indeed, not only is the tree walk lockless, the tags are also read
in chunks, one radix tree node at a time. There is plenty of time for
page reclaim to swoop in and replace a page that was already looked up
as tagged with a shadow entry.
Remove the BUG() and update the comment. While reviewing all other
lookup sites for whether they properly deal with shadow entries of
evicted pages, update all the comments and fix memcg file charge moving
to not miss shmem/tmpfs swapcache pages.

The compaction freepage scanner implementation in isolate_freepages()
starts by taking the current cc->free_pfn value as the first pfn. In a
for loop, it scans from this first pfn to the end of the pageblock, and
then subtracts pageblock_nr_pages from the first pfn to obtain the first
pfn for the next for loop iteration.
This means that when cc->free_pfn starts at offset X rather than being
aligned on pageblock boundary, the scanner will start at offset X in all
scanned pageblock, ignoring potentially many free pages. Currently this
can happen when
a) zone's end pfn is not pageblock aligned, or
b) through zone->compact_cached_free_pfn with CONFIG_HOLES_IN_ZONE
enabled and a hole spanning the beginning of a pageblock
This patch fixes the problem by aligning the initial pfn in
isolate_freepages() to pageblock boundary. This also permits replacing
the end-of-pageblock alignment within the for loop with a simple
pageblock_nr_pages increment.

It is possible for "limit - setpoint + 1" to equal zero, after getting
truncated to a 32 bit variable, and resulting in a divide by zero error.
Using the fully 64 bit divide functions avoids this problem. It also
will cause pos_ratio_polynom() to return the correct value when
(setpoint - limit) exceeds 2^32.
Also uninline pos_ratio_polynom, at Andrew's request.

Currently, I am seeing the following when I `mount -t hugetlbfs /none
/dev/hugetlbfs`, and then simply do a `ls /dev/hugetlbfs`. I think it's
related to the fact that hugetlbfs is properly not correctly setting
itself up in this state?:
Unable to handle kernel paging request for data at address 0x00000031
Faulting instruction address: 0xc000000000245710
Oops: Kernel access of bad area, sig: 11 [#1]
SMP NR_CPUS=2048 NUMA pSeries
....
In KVM guests on Power, in a guest not backed by hugepages, we see the
following:
AnonHugePages: 0 kB
HugePages_Total: 0
HugePages_Free: 0
HugePages_Rsvd: 0
HugePages_Surp: 0
Hugepagesize: 64 kB
HPAGE_SHIFT == 0 in this configuration, which indicates that hugepages
are not supported at boot-time, but this is only checked in
hugetlb_init(). Extract the check to a helper function, and use it in a
few relevant places.
This does make hugetlbfs not supported (not registered at all) in this
environment. I believe this is fine, as there are no valid hugepages
and that won't change at runtime.

After creating a cache for a memcg we should initialize its sysfs attrs
with the values from its parent. That's what memcg_propagate_slab_attrs
is for. Currently it's broken - we clearly muddled root-vs-memcg caches
there. Let's fix it up.
