commit 7215853e985a4bef1a6c14e00e89dfec84f1e457 upstream.

Commit 6edb2a8a385f0cdef51dae37ff23e74d76d8a6ce introduced
an array map_pages that contains the addresses returned by
kmap_atomic. However, when unmapping those pages, map_pages[0]
is unmapped before map_pages[1], breaking the nesting requirement
as specified in the documentation for kmap_atomic/kunmap_atomic.

This was caught by the highmem debug code present in kunmap_atomic.
Fix the loop to do the unmapping properly.

If the read loop in trace_buffers_splice_read() keeps failing due to
memory allocation failures without reading even a single page then this
function will keep busy looping.

Remove the risk for that by exiting the function if memory allocation
failures are seen.

On a !PREEMPT kernel, attempting to use trace-cmd results in a soft
lockup:

 # trace-cmd record -e raw_syscalls:* -F false
 NMI watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#0 stuck for 22s! [trace-cmd:61]
 ...
 Call Trace:

  [&lt;ffffffff812d1edd&gt;] tracesys_phase2+0xd3/0xd8

The problem is this: tracing_buffers_splice_read() calls
ring_buffer_wait() to wait for data in the ring buffers.  The buffers
are not empty so ring_buffer_wait() returns immediately.  But
tracing_buffers_splice_read() calls ring_buffer_read_page() with full=1,
meaning it only wants to read a full page.  When the full page is not
available, tracing_buffers_splice_read() tries to wait again with
ring_buffer_wait(), which again returns immediately, and so on.

Fix this by adding a "full" argument to ring_buffer_wait() which will
make ring_buffer_wait() wait until the writer has left the reader's
page, i.e.  until full-page reads will succeed.

Pull timer and time updates from Thomas Gleixner:
 "A rather large update of timers, timekeeping &amp; co

   - Core timekeeping code is year-2038 safe now for 32bit machines.
     Now we just need to fix all in kernel users and the gazillion of
     user space interfaces which rely on timespec/timeval :)

   - Better cache layout for the timekeeping internal data structures.

   - Proper nanosecond based interfaces for in kernel users.

   - Tree wide cleanup of code which wants nanoseconds but does hoops
     and loops to convert back and forth from timespecs.  Some of it
     definitely belongs into the ugly code museum.

   - Consolidation of the timekeeping interface zoo.

   - A fast NMI safe accessor to clock monotonic for tracing.  This is a
     long standing request to support correlated user/kernel space
     traces.  With proper NTP frequency correction it's also suitable
     for correlation of traces accross separate machines.

   - Checkpoint/restart support for timerfd.

   - A few NOHZ[_FULL] improvements in the [hr]timer code.

   - Code move from kernel to kernel/time of all time* related code.

   - New clocksource/event drivers from the ARM universe.  I'm really
     impressed that despite an architected timer in the newer chips SoC
     manufacturers insist on inventing new and differently broken SoC
     specific timers.

[ Ed. "Impressed"? I don't think that word means what you think it means ]

   - Another round of code move from arch to drivers.  Looks like most
     of the legacy mess in ARM regarding timers is sorted out except for
     a few obnoxious strongholds.

   - The usual updates and fixlets all over the place"

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
 "This pull request has a lot of work done.  The main thing is the
  changes to the ftrace function callback infrastructure.  It's
  introducing a way to allow different functions to call directly
  different trampolines instead of all calling the same "mcount" one.

  The only user of this for now is the function graph tracer, which
  always had a different trampoline, but the function tracer trampoline
  was called and did basically nothing, and then the function graph
  tracer trampoline was called.  The difference now, is that the
  function graph tracer trampoline can be called directly if a function
  is only being traced by the function graph trampoline.  If function
  tracing is also happening on the same function, the old way is still
  done.

  The accounting for this takes up more memory when function graph
  tracing is activated, as it needs to keep track of which functions it
  uses.  I have a new way that wont take as much memory, but it's not
  ready yet for this merge window, and will have to wait for the next
  one.

  Another big change was the removal of the ftrace_start/stop() calls
  that were used by the suspend/resume code that stopped function
  tracing when entering into suspend and resume paths.  The stop of
  ftrace was done because there was some function that would crash the
  system if one called smp_processor_id()! The stop/start was a big
  hammer to solve the issue at the time, which was when ftrace was first
  introduced into Linux.  Now ftrace has better infrastructure to debug
  such issues, and I found the problem function and labeled it with
  "notrace" and function tracing can now safely be activated all the way
  down into the guts of suspend and resume

  Other changes include clean ups of uprobe code, clean up of the
  trace_seq() code, and other various small fixes and clean ups to
  ftrace and tracing"

<content type='text'>
The "uptime" trace clock added in:

    commit 8aacf017b065a805d27467843490c976835eb4a5
    tracing: Add "uptime" trace clock that uses jiffies

has wraparound problems when the system has been up more
than 1 hour 11 minutes and 34 seconds. It converts jiffies
to nanoseconds using:
        (u64)jiffies_to_usecs(jiffy) * 1000ULL
but since jiffies_to_usecs() only returns a 32-bit value, it
truncates at 2^32 microseconds.  An additional problem on 32-bit
systems is that the argument is "unsigned long", so fixing the
return value only helps until 2^32 jiffies (49.7 days on a HZ=1000
system).

Avoid these problems by using jiffies_64 as our basis, and
not converting to nanoseconds (we do convert to clock_t because
user facing API must not be dependent on internal kernel
HZ values).

<content type='text'>
Currently, tracing_thresh works only if we specify it before selecting
function_graph tracer. If we do the opposite, tracing_thresh will change
it's value, but it will not be applied.
To fix it, we add update_thresh callback which is called whenever
tracing_thresh is updated and for function_graph tracer we register
handler which reinitializes tracer depending on tracing_thresh.

The TRACE_ITER_PRINTK check in __trace_puts/__trace_bputs is missing,
so add it, to be consistent with __trace_printk/__trace_bprintk.
Those functions are all called by the same function: trace_printk().
