Pull scheduler updates from Ingo Molnar:
"The main changes in this cycle are:
- Make schedstats a runtime tunable (disabled by default) and
optimize it via static keys.
As most distributions enable CONFIG_SCHEDSTATS=y due to its
instrumentation value, this is a nice performance enhancement.
(Mel Gorman)
- Implement 'simple waitqueues' (swait): these are just pure
waitqueues without any of the more complex features of full-blown
waitqueues (callbacks, wake flags, wake keys, etc.). Simple
waitqueues have less memory overhead and are faster.
Use simple waitqueues in the RCU code (in 4 different places) and
for handling KVM vCPU wakeups.
(Peter Zijlstra, Daniel Wagner, Thomas Gleixner, Paul Gortmaker,
Marcelo Tosatti)
- sched/numa enhancements (Rik van Riel)
- NOHZ performance enhancements (Rik van Riel)
- Various sched/deadline enhancements (Steven Rostedt)
- Various fixes (Peter Zijlstra)
- ... and a number of other fixes, cleanups and smaller enhancements"

Pull perf updates from Ingo Molnar:
"Main kernel side changes:
- Big reorganization of the x86 perf support code. The old code grew
organically deep inside arch/x86/kernel/cpu/perf* and its naming
became somewhat messy.
The new location is under arch/x86/events/, using the following
cleaner hierarchy of source code files:
perf/x86: Move perf_event.c .................. => x86/events/core.c
perf/x86: Move perf_event_amd.c .............. => x86/events/amd/core.c

Gleixner)
- Rewrite, refactor and fix the Intel RAPL PMU code (Thomas Gleixner)
- Various fixes and smaller cleanups.
There are lots of perf tooling updates as well. A few highlights:
perf report/top:
- Hierarchy histogram mode for 'perf top' and 'perf report',
showing multiple levels, one per --sort entry: (Namhyung Kim)
On a mostly idle system:
# perf top --hierarchy -s comm,dso
Then expand some levels and use 'P' to take a snapshot:
# cat perf.hist.0
- 92.32% perf
58.20% perf
22.29% libc-2.22.so
5.97% [kernel]
4.18% libelf-0.165.so
1.69% [unknown]
- 4.71% qemu-system-x86
3.10% [kernel]
1.60% qemu-system-x86_64 (deleted)
+ 2.97% swapper
#
- Add 'L' hotkey to dynamicly set the percent threshold for
histogram entries and callchains, i.e. dynamicly do what the
--percent-limit command line option to 'top' and 'report' does.
(Namhyung Kim)
perf mem:
- Allow specifying events via -e in 'perf mem record', also listing
what events can be specified via 'perf mem record -e list' (Jiri
Olsa)
perf record:
- Add 'perf record' --all-user/--all-kernel options, so that one
can tell that all the events in the command line should be
restricted to the user or kernel levels (Jiri Olsa), i.e.:
perf record -e cycles:u,instructions:u
is equivalent to:
perf record --all-user -e cycles,instructions
- Make 'perf record' collect CPU cache info in the perf.data file header:
$ perf record usleep 1
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.017 MB perf.data (7 samples) ]
$ perf report --header-only -I | tail -10 | head -8
# CPU cache info:
# L1 Data 32K [0-1]
# L1 Instruction 32K [0-1]
# L1 Data 32K [2-3]
# L1 Instruction 32K [2-3]
# L2 Unified 256K [0-1]
# L2 Unified 256K [2-3]
# L3 Unified 4096K [0-3]
Will be used in 'perf c2c' and eventually in 'perf diff' to
allow, for instance running the same workload in multiple
machines and then when using 'diff' show the hardware difference.
(Jiri Olsa)
- Improved support for Java, using the JVMTI agent library to do
jitdumps that then will be inserted in synthesized
PERF_RECORD_MMAP2 events via 'perf inject' pointed to synthesized
ELF files stored in ~/.debug and keyed with build-ids, to allow
symbol resolution and even annotation with source line info, see
the changeset comments to see how to use it (Stephane Eranian)
perf script/trace:
- Decode data_src values (e.g. perf.data files generated by 'perf
mem record') in 'perf script': (Jiri Olsa)
# perf script
perf 693 [1] 4.088652: 1 cpu/mem-loads,ldlat=30/P: ffff88007d0b0f40 68100142 L1 hit|SNP None|TLB L1 or L2 hit|LCK No <SNIP>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
- Improve support to 'data_src', 'weight' and 'addr' fields in
'perf script' (Jiri Olsa)
- Handle empty print fmts in 'perf script -s' i.e. when running
python or perl scripts (Taeung Song)
perf stat:
- 'perf stat' now shows shadow metrics (insn per cycle, etc) in
interval mode too. E.g:
# perf stat -I 1000 -e instructions,cycles sleep 1
# time counts unit events
1.000215928 519,620 instructions # 0.69 insn per cycle
1.000215928 752,003 cycles
<SNIP>
- Port 'perf kvm stat' to PowerPC (Hemant Kumar)
- Implement CSV metrics output in 'perf stat' (Andi Kleen)
perf BPF support:
- Support converting data from bpf events in 'perf data' (Wang Nan)
- Print bpf-output events in 'perf script': (Wang Nan).
# perf record -e bpf-output/no-inherit,name=evt/ -e ./test_bpf_output_3.c/map:channel.event=evt/ usleep 1000
# perf script
usleep 4882 21384.532523: evt: ffffffff810e97d1 sys_nanosleep ([kernel.kallsyms])
BPF output: 0000: 52 61 69 73 65 20 61 20 Raise a
0008: 42 50 46 20 65 76 65 6e BPF even
0010: 74 21 00 00 t!..
BPF string: "Raise a BPF event!"
#
- Add API to set values of map entries in a BPF object, be it
individual map slots or ranges (Wang Nan)
- Introduce support for the 'bpf-output' event (Wang Nan)
- Add glue to read perf events in a BPF program (Wang Nan)
- Improve support for bpf-output events in 'perf trace' (Wang Nan)
... and tons of other changes as well - see the shortlog and git log

Pull read-only kernel memory updates from Ingo Molnar:
"This tree adds two (security related) enhancements to the kernel's
handling of read-only kernel memory:
- extend read-only kernel memory to a new class of formerly writable
kernel data: 'post-init read-only memory' via the __ro_after_init
attribute, and mark the ARM and x86 vDSO as such read-only memory.
This kind of attribute can be used for data that requires a once
per bootup initialization sequence, but is otherwise never modified
after that point.
This feature was based on the work by PaX Team and Brad Spengler.
(by Kees Cook, the ARM vDSO bits by David Brown.)
- make CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA always enabled on x86 and remove the
Kconfig option. This simplifies the kernel and also signals that
read-only memory is the default model and a first-class citizen.
(Kees Cook)"

Pull ARM SoC fixes from Olof Johansson:
"Two more fixes for 4.5:
- One is a fix for OMAP that is urgently needed to avoid DRA7xx chips
from premature aging, by always keeping the Ethernet clock enabled.
- The other solves a I/O memory layout issue on Armada, where SROM
and PCI memory windows were conflicting in some configurations"

ARM: OMAP2+: hwmod: Introduce ti,no-idle dt property
|

Yes, all of these are needed. :) This is admittedly a bit odd, but
kvm-unit-tests access.flat tests this if you run it with "-cpu host"
and of course ept=0.
KVM runs the guest with CR0.WP=1, so it must handle supervisor writes
specially when pte.u=1/pte.w=0/CR0.WP=0. Such writes cause a fault
when U=1 and W=0 in the SPTE, but they must succeed because CR0.WP=0.
When KVM gets the fault, it sets U=0 and W=1 in the shadow PTE and
restarts execution. This will still cause a user write to fault, while
supervisor writes will succeed. User reads will fault spuriously now,
and KVM will then flip U and W again in the SPTE (U=1, W=0). User reads
will be enabled and supervisor writes disabled, going back to the
originary situation where supervisor writes fault spuriously.
When SMEP is in effect, however, U=0 will enable kernel execution of
this page. To avoid this, KVM also sets NX=1 in the shadow PTE together
with U=0. If the guest has not enabled NX, the result is a continuous
stream of page faults due to the NX bit being reserved.
The fix is to force EFER.NX=1 even if the CPU is taking care of the EFER
switch. (All machines with SMEP have the CPU_LOAD_IA32_EFER vm-entry
control, so they do not use user-return notifiers for EFER---if they did,
EFER.NX would be forced to the same value as the host).
There is another bug in the reserved bit check, which I've split to a
separate patch for easier application to stable kernels.

ARM: OMAP2+: critical DRA7xx fix for v4.5-rc
Force the DRA7xx Ethernet internal clock source to stay enabled
per TI erratum i877:
http://www.ti.com/lit/er/sprz429h/sprz429h.pdf
Otherwise, if the Ethernet internal clock source is disabled, the
chip will age prematurely, and the RGMII I/O timing will soon
fail to meet the delay time and skew specifications for 1000Mbps
Ethernet.
This fix should go in as soon as possible.
Basic build, boot, and PM test results are available here:

Introduce a dt property, ti,no-idle, that prevents an IP to idle at any
point. This is to handle Errata i877, which tells that GMAC clocks
cannot be disabled.

It may be useful to debug writes to the readonly sections of memory,
so provide a cmdline "rodata=off" to allow for this. This can be
expanded in the future to support "log" and "write" modes, but that
will need to be architecture-specific.
This also makes KDB software breakpoints more usable, as read-only
mappings can now be disabled on any kernel.

This reverts commit 8e6ebfaa9b384088002baa10f7534efa73a0794e.
Without the patch reverted regulators will not work. This prevents
MMC to be working for example so the boards can not boot to
MMC rootfs.
Tested it on beaglebone white and bisect also points to the
reverted commit.
The issue can be also fixed by adding "regulator-compatible =" to all board

Huge amounts of help from Andy Lutomirski and Borislav Petkov to
produce this. Andy provided the inspiration to add classes to the
exception table with a clever bit-squeezing trick, Boris pointed
out how much cleaner it would all be if we just had a new field.
Linus Torvalds blessed the expansion with:
' I'd rather not be clever in order to save just a tiny amount of space
in the exception table, which isn't really criticial for anybody. '
The third field is another relative function pointer, this one to a
handler that executes the actions.
We start out with three handlers:
1: Legacy - just jumps the to fixup IP
2: Fault - provide the trap number in %ax to the fixup code
3: Cleaned up legacy for the uaccess error hack

The arm,gic-v3 binding was written with good intentions and doesn't
enforce interrupt-cells to be 3, therefore making it easy to extend
the irq description in future if necessary:
> Cells 4 and beyond are reserved for future use.
Unfortunately, this sentence is immediately followed up with:
> When the 1st cell has a value of 0 or 1, cells 4 and beyond act as
> padding, and may be ignored. It is recommended that padding cells
> have a value of 0.
Consequently, any extensions to the PPI or SPI interrupt specifiers must
be able to work with random crap from legacy DTs, effectively
necessitating a new interrupt type in the first cell. Sigh.
This patch fixes the text so that additional, reserved cells are
required to be zero. This looks like a reasonable thing to require and
is already satisifed by the .dts files in-tree.

"rm -rf" is bricking some peoples' laptops because of variables being
used to store non-reinitializable firmware driver data that's required
to POST the hardware.
These are 100% bugs, and they need to be fixed, but in the mean time it
shouldn't be easy to *accidentally* brick machines.
We have to have delete working, and picking which variables do and don't
work for deletion is quite intractable, so instead make everything
immutable by default (except for a whitelist), and make tools that
aren't quite so broad-spectrum unset the immutable flag.

Workqueue used to guarantee local execution for work items queued
without explicit target CPU. The guarantee is gone now which can
break some usages in subtle ways. To flush out those cases, this
patch implements a debug feature which forces round-robin CPU
selection for all such work items.
The debug feature defaults to off and can be enabled with a kernel
parameter. The default can be flipped with a debug config option.

schedstats is very useful during debugging and performance tuning but it
incurs overhead to calculate the stats. As such, even though it can be
disabled at build time, it is often enabled as the information is useful.
This patch adds a kernel command-line and sysctl tunable to enable or
disable schedstats on demand (when it's built in). It is disabled
by default as someone who knows they need it can also learn to enable
it when necessary.
The benefits are dependent on how scheduler-intensive the workload is.
If it is then the patch reduces the number of cycles spent calculating
the stats with a small benefit from reducing the cache footprint of the
scheduler.
These measurements were taken from a 48-core 2-socket
machine with Xeon(R) E5-2670 v3 cpus although they were also tested on a
single socket machine 8-core machine with Intel i7-3770 processors.

Small improvement and similar gains were seen on the UMA machine.
The gain is small but it stands to reason that doing less work in the
scheduler is a good thing. The downside is that the lack of schedstats and
tracepoints may be surprising to experts doing performance analysis until
they find the existence of the schedstats= parameter or schedstats sysctl.
It will be automatically activated for latencytop and sleep profiling to
alleviate the problem. For tracepoints, there is a simple warning as it's
not safe to activate schedstats in the context when it's known the tracepoint
may be wanted but is unavailable.

This patch provides a way of working around a slight regression
introduced by commit 84638335900f ("mm: rework virtual memory
accounting").
Before that commit RLIMIT_DATA have control only over size of the brk
region. But that change have caused problems with all existing versions
of valgrind, because it set RLIMIT_DATA to zero.
This patch fixes rlimit check (limit actually in bytes, not pages) and
by default turns it into warning which prints at first VmData misuse:
"mmap: top (795): VmData 516096 exceed data ulimit 512000. Will be forbidden soon."
Behavior is controlled by boot param ignore_rlimit_data=y/n and by sysfs
/sys/module/kernel/parameters/ignore_rlimit_data. For now it set to "y".

Commit b76437579d13 ("procfs: mark thread stack correctly in
proc/<pid>/maps") added [stack:TID] annotation to /proc/<pid>/maps.
Finding the task of a stack VMA requires walking the entire thread list,
turning this into quadratic behavior: a thousand threads means a
thousand stacks, so the rendering of /proc/<pid>/maps needs to look at a
million combinations.
The cost is not in proportion to the usefulness as described in the
patch.
Drop the [stack:TID] annotation to make /proc/<pid>/maps (and
/proc/<pid>/numa_maps) usable again for higher thread counts.
The [stack] annotation inside /proc/<pid>/task/<tid>/maps is retained, as
identifying the stack VMA there is an O(1) operation.
Siddesh said:
"The end users needed a way to identify thread stacks programmatically and
there wasn't a way to do that. I'm afraid I no longer remember (or have
access to the resources that would aid my memory since I changed
employers) the details of their requirement. However, I did do this on my
own time because I thought it was an interesting project for me and nobody
really gave any feedback then as to its utility, so as far as I am
concerned you could roll back the main thread maps information since the
information is available in the thread-specific files"

Pull perf/core improvements and fixes from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:
User visible changes:
- Rename the "colors.code" ~/.perfconfig variable to "colors.jump_arrows",
as it controls just the that UI element in the annotate browser (Taeung Song)
- Avoid trying to read ELF symtabs from device files, noticed while doing
memory profiling work (Jiri Olsa)
- Improve context detection when offering options in the hists browser,
i.e. some options don't make sense when the browser is not working with
a perf.data file ('perf top' mode), only in 'perf report' mode, like
scripting (Namhyung Kim)
Infrastructure changes:
- Elliminate duplication in the hists browser filter functions, getting the
common part into a function that receives callbacks for filtering by
DSO, thread, etc. (Namhyung Kim)
- Fix misleadingly indented assignment, found using
gcc6 -Wmisleading-indentation (Markus Trippelsdorf)
- Handle LLVM relocation oddities in libbpf, introducing a 'perf test' that
detects such problems and then fixing the problem, so that the test now
passes (Wang Nan)
- More improvements to the build infrastructure to allow reusing the
feature detection facilities (Wang Nan)
- Auto initialize the globals needed by cpu__max_{cpu,node}() routines
(Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
Documentation changes:
- Document the perf sysctls in Documentation/sysctl/kernel.txt (Ben Hutchings)
- Document a bunch more ~/.perfconfig knobs (Taeung Song)
