perf: Suppress AUX/OVERWRITE records

2018-09-18T20:21:13Z

It has been pointed out to me many times that it is useful to be able to switch off AUX records to save the bandwidth for records that actually matter, for example, in AUX overwrite mode. The usefulness of PERF_RECORD_AUX is in some of its flags, like the TRUNCATED flag that tells the decoder where exactly gaps in the trace are. The OVERWRITE flag, on the other hand will be set on every single record in overwrite mode. However, a PERF_RECORD_AUX[flags=OVERWRITE] is generated on every target task's sched_out, which over time adds up to a lot of useless information. If any folks out there have userspace that depends on a constant stream of OVERWRITE records for a good reason, they'll have to let us know.

treewide: kzalloc_node() -> kcalloc_node()

2018-06-12T23:19:22Z

The kzalloc_node() function has a 2-factor argument form, kcalloc_node(). This patch replaces cases of: kzalloc_node(a * b, gfp, node) with: kcalloc_node(a * b, gfp, node) as well as handling cases of: kzalloc_node(a * b * c, gfp, node) with: kzalloc_node(array3_size(a, b, c), gfp, node) as it's slightly less ugly than: kcalloc_node(array_size(a, b), c, gfp, node) This does, however, attempt to ignore constant size factors like: kzalloc_node(4 * 1024, gfp, node) though any constants defined via macros get caught up in the conversion. Any factors with a sizeof() of "unsigned char", "char", and "u8" were dropped, since they're redundant. The Coccinelle script used for this was: // Fix redundant parens around sizeof(). @@ type TYPE; expression THING, E; @@ ( kzalloc_node( - (sizeof(TYPE)) * E + sizeof(TYPE) * E , ...) | kzalloc_node( - (sizeof(THING)) * E + sizeof(THING) * E , ...) ) // Drop single-byte sizes and redundant parens. @@ expression COUNT;

vfs: do bulk POLL* -> EPOLL* replacement

2018-02-11T22:34:03Z

This is the mindless scripted replacement of kernel use of POLL* variables as described by Al, done by this script: for V in IN OUT PRI ERR RDNORM RDBAND WRNORM WRBAND HUP RDHUP NVAL MSG; do L=`git grep -l -w POLL$V | grep -v '^t' | grep -v /um/ | grep -v '^sa' | grep -v '/poll.h$'|grep -v '^D'` for f in $L; do sed -i "-es/^$[^\"]*$$\$/\\1E\\2/" $f; done done with de-mangling cleanups yet to come. NOTE! On almost all architectures, the EPOLL* constants have the same values as the POLL* constants do. But they keyword here is "almost". For various bad reasons they aren't the same, and epoll() doesn't actually work quite correctly in some cases due to this on Sparc et al. The next patch from Al will sort out the final differences, and we should be all done. Scripted-by: Al Viro Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

Pull arm64 updates from Will Deacon: "The big highlight is support for the Scalable Vector Extension (SVE) which required extensive ABI work to ensure we don't break existing applications by blowing away their signal stack with the rather large new vector context (<= 2 kbit per vector register). There's further work to be done optimising things like exception return, but the ABI is solid now. Much of the line count comes from some new PMU drivers we have, but they're pretty self-contained and I suspect we'll have more of them in future. Plenty of acronym soup here: - initial support for the Scalable Vector Extension (SVE) - improved handling for SError interrupts (required to handle RAS events) - enable GCC support for 128-bit integer types - remove kernel text addresses from backtraces and register dumps - use of WFE to implement long delay()s - ACPI IORT updates from Lorenzo Pieralisi - perf PMU driver for the Statistical Profiling Extension (SPE) - perf PMU driver for Hisilicon's system PMUs - misc cleanups and non-critical fixes" * tag 'arm64-upstream' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm64/linux: (97 commits) arm64: Make ARMV8_DEPRECATED depend on SYSCTL arm64: Implement __lshrti3 library function arm64: support __int128 on gcc 5+ arm64/sve: Add documentation arm64/sve: Detect SVE and activate runtime support arm64/sve: KVM: Hide SVE from CPU features exposed to guests arm64/sve: KVM: Treat guest SVE use as undefined instruction execution arm64/sve: KVM: Prevent guests from using SVE arm64/sve: Add sysctl to set the default vector length for new processes arm64/sve: Add prctl controls for userspace vector length management arm64/sve: ptrace and ELF coredump support arm64/sve: Preserve SVE registers around EFI runtime service calls arm64/sve: Preserve SVE registers around kernel-mode NEON use arm64/sve: Probe SVE capabilities and usable vector lengths arm64: cpufeature: Move sys_caps_initialised declarations arm64/sve: Backend logic for setting the vector length arm64/sve: Signal handling support arm64/sve: Support vector length resetting for new processes arm64/sve: Core task context handling arm64/sve: Low-level CPU setup ...

locking/atomics: COCCINELLE/treewide: Convert trivial ACCESS_ONCE() patterns to READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE()

2017-10-25T09:01:08Z

Please do not apply this to mainline directly, instead please re-run the coccinelle script shown below and apply its output. For several reasons, it is desirable to use {READ,WRITE}_ONCE() in preference to ACCESS_ONCE(), and new code is expected to use one of the former. So far, there's been no reason to change most existing uses of ACCESS_ONCE(), as these aren't harmful, and changing them results in churn. However, for some features, the read/write distinction is critical to correct operation. To distinguish these cases, separate read/write accessors must be used. This patch migrates (most) remaining ACCESS_ONCE() instances to {READ,WRITE}_ONCE(), using the following coccinelle script: ---- // Convert trivial ACCESS_ONCE() uses to equivalent READ_ONCE() and // WRITE_ONCE() // $ make coccicheck COCCI=/home/mark/once.cocci SPFLAGS="--include-headers" MODE=patch virtual patch @ depends on patch @ expression E1, E2; @@ - ACCESS_ONCE(E1) = E2 + WRITE_ONCE(E1, E2) @ depends on patch @ expression E; @@ - ACCESS_ONCE(E) + READ_ONCE(E) ---- Signed-off-by: Mark Rutland Signed-off-by: Paul E.

perf/aux: Only update ->aux_wakeup in non-overwrite mode

2017-09-29T08:06:45Z

The following commit: d9a50b0256 ("perf/aux: Ensure aux_wakeup represents most recent wakeup index") changed the AUX wakeup position calculation to rounddown(), which causes a division-by-zero in AUX overwrite mode (aka "snapshot mode"). The zero denominator results from the fact that perf record doesn't set aux_watermark to anything, in which case the kernel will set it to half the AUX buffer size, but only for non-overwrite mode. In the overwrite mode aux_watermark stays zero. The good news is that, AUX overwrite mode, wakeups don't happen and related bookkeeping is not relevant, so we can simply forego the whole wakeup updates.
