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" * tag 'trace-v4.7-2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace: ftrace/x86: Set ftrace_stub to weak to prevent gcc from using short jumps to it ftrace: Don't disable irqs when taking the tasklist_lock read_lock ftracetest: Add instance created, delete, read and enable event test

ftrace: Don't disable irqs when taking the tasklist_lock read_lock

2016-05-20T17:19:37Z

In ftrace.c inside the function alloc_retstack_tasklist() (which will be invoked when function_graph tracing is on) the tasklist_lock is being held as reader while iterating through a list of threads. Here the lock is being held as reader with irqs disabled. The tasklist_lock is never write_locked in interrupt context so it is safe to not disable interrupts for the duration of read_lock in this block which, can be significant, given the block of code iterates through all threads. Hence changing the code to call read_lock() and read_unlock() instead of read_lock_irqsave() and read_unlock_irqrestore(). A similar change was made in commits: 8063e41d2ffc ("tracing: Change syscall_*regfunc() to check PF_KTHREAD and use for_each_process_thread()")' and 3472eaa1f12e ("sched: normalize_rt_tasks(): Don't use _irqsave for tasklist_lock, use task_rq_lock()")' Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1463500874-77480-1-git-send-email-soumya.p.n@hpe.com Signed-off-by: Soumya PN Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt: "This includes two new updates for the ftrace infrastructure. - With the changing of the code for filtering events by pid, from a list of pids to a bitmask, we can now easily implement following forks. With a new tracing option "event-fork" which, when set, will have tasks with pids in set_event_pid, when they fork, to have their child pids added to set_event_pid and the child will be traced as well. Note, if "event-fork" is set and a task with its pid in set_event_pid exits, its pid will be removed from set_event_pid - The addition of Tom Zanussi's hist triggers. This includes a very thorough documentatino on how to use the hist triggers with events. This introduces a quick and easy way to get histogram data from events and their fields.

Pull tracing ring-buffer fixes from Steven Rostedt: "Hao Qin reported an integer overflow possibility with signed and unsigned numbers in the ring-buffer code. https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=118001 At first I did not think this was too much of an issue, because the overflow would be caught later when either too much data was allocated or it would trigger RB_WARN_ON() which shuts down the ring buffer. But looking closer into it, I found that the right settings could bypass the checks and crash the kernel. Luckily, this is only accessible by root. The first fix is to convert all the variables into long, such that we don't get into issues between 32 bit variables being assigned 64 bit ones. This fixes the RB_WARN_ON() triggering. The next fix is to get rid of a duplicate DIV_ROUND_UP() that when called twice with the right value, can cause a kernel crash. The first DIV_ROUND_UP() is to normalize the input and it is checked against the minimum allowable value. But then DIV_ROUND_UP() is called again, which can overflow due to the (a + b - 1)/b, logic. The first called upped the value, the second can overflow (with the +b part). The second call to DIV_ROUND_UP() came in via a second change a while ago and the code is cleaned up to remove it" * tag 'trace-fixes-v4.6-rc7' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace: ring-buffer: Prevent overflow of size in ring_buffer_resize() ring-buffer: Use long for nr_pages to avoid overflow failures

Pull power management updates from Rafael Wysocki: "The majority of changes go into the cpufreq subsystem this time. To me, quite obviously, the biggest ticket item is the new "schedutil" governor. Interestingly enough, it's the first new cpufreq governor since the beginning of the git era (except for some out-of-the-tree ones). There are two main differences between it and the existing governors. First, it uses the information provided by the scheduler directly for making its decisions, so it doesn't have to track anything by itself. Second, it can invoke drivers (supporting that feature) to adjust CPU performance right away without having to spawn work items to be executed in process context or similar. Currently, the acpi-cpufreq driver is the only one supporting that mode of operation, but then it is used on a large number of systems. The "schedutil" governor as included here is very simple and mostly regarded as a foundation for future work on the integration of the scheduler with CPU power management (in fact, there is work in progress on top of it already). Nevertheless it works and the preliminary results obtained with it are encouraging. There also is some consolidation of CPU frequency management for ARM platforms that can add their machine IDs the the new stub dt-platdev driver now and that will take care of creating the requisite platform device for cpufreq-dt, so it is not necessary to do that in platform code any more. Several ARM platforms are switched over to using this generic mechanism. In addition to that, the intel_pstate driver is now going to respect CPU frequency limits set by the platform firmware (or a BMC) and provided via the ACPI _PPC object. The devfreq subsystem is getting a new "passive" governor for SoCs subsystems that will depend on somebody else to manage their voltage rails and its support for Samsung Exynos SoCs is consolidated. The rest is support for new hardware (Intel Broxton support in intel_idle for one example), bug fixes, optimizations and cleanups in a number of places. Specifics: - New cpufreq "schedutil" governor (making decisions based on CPU utilization information provided by the scheduler and capable of switching CPU frequencies right away if the underlying driver supports that) and support for fast frequency switching in the acpi-cpufreq driver (Rafael Wysocki) - Consolidation of CPU frequency management on ARM platforms allowing them to get rid of some platform-specific boilerplate code if they are going to use the cpufreq-dt driver (Viresh Kumar, Finley Xiao, Marc Gonzalez) - Support for ACPI _PPC and CPU frequency limits in the intel_pstate driver (Srinivas Pandruvada) - Fixes and cleanups in the cpufreq core and generic governor code (Rafael Wysocki, Sai Gurrappadi) - intel_pstate driver optimizations and cleanups (Rafael Wysocki, Philippe Longepe, Chen Yu, Joe Perches) - cpufreq powernv driver fixes and cleanups (Akshay Adiga, Shilpasri Bhat) - cpufreq qoriq driver fixes and cleanups (Jia Hongtao) - ACPI cpufreq driver cleanups (Viresh Kumar) - Assorted cpufreq driver updates (Ashwin Chaugule, Geliang Tang, Javier Martinez Canillas, Paul Gortmaker, Sudeep Holla) - Assorted cpufreq fixes and cleanups (Joe Perches, Arnd Bergmann) - Fixes and cleanups in the OPP (Operating Performance Points) framework, mostly related to OPP sharing, and reorganization of OF-dependent code in it (Viresh Kumar, Arnd Bergmann, Sudeep Holla) - New "passive" governor for devfreq (for SoC subsystems that will rely on someone else for the management of their power resources) and consolidation of devfreq support for Exynos platforms, coding style and typo fixes for devfreq (Chanwoo Choi, MyungJoo Ham) - PM core fixes and cleanups, mostly to make it work better with the generic power domains (genpd) framework, and updates for that framework (Ulf Hansson, Thierry Reding, Colin Ian King) - Intel Broxton support for the intel_idle driver (Len Brown) - cpuidle core optimization and fix (Daniel Lezcano, Dave Gerlach) - ARM cpuidle cleanups (Jisheng Zhang) - Intel Kabylake support for the RAPL power capping driver (Jacob Pan) - AVS (Adaptive Voltage Switching) rockchip-io driver update (Heiko Stuebner) - Updates for the cpupower tool (Arjun Sreedharan, Colin Ian King, Mattia Dongili, Thomas Renninger)" * tag 'pm-4.7-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm: (112 commits) intel_pstate: Clean up get_target_pstate_use_performance() intel_pstate: Use sample.core_avg_perf in get_avg_pstate() intel_pstate: Clarify average performance computation intel_pstate: Avoid unnecessary synchronize_sched() during initialization cpufreq: schedutil: Make default depend on CONFIG_SMP cpufreq: powernv: del_timer_sync when global and local pstate are equal cpufreq: powernv: Move smp_call_function_any() out of irq safe block intel_pstate: Clean up intel_pstate_get() cpufreq: schedutil: Make it depend on CONFIG_SMP cpufreq: governor: Fix handling of special cases in dbs_update() PM / OPP: Move CONFIG_OF dependent code in a separate file cpufreq: intel_pstate: Ignore _PPC processing under HWP cpufreq: arm_big_little: use generic OPP functions for {init, free}_opp_table PM / OPP: add non-OF versions of dev_pm_opp_{cpumask_, }remove_table cpufreq: tango: Use generic platdev driver PM / OPP: pass cpumask by reference cpufreq: Fix GOV_LIMITS handling for the userspace governor cpupower: fix potential memory leak PM / devfreq: style/typo fixes PM / devfreq: exynos: Add the detailed correlation for Exynos5422 bus ..
