2012-03-20Merge branch 'perf-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tipLinus Torvalds6-24/+24
Pull perf events changes for v3.4 from Ingo Molnar: - New "hardware based branch profiling" feature both on the kernel and the tooling side, on CPUs that support it. (modern x86 Intel CPUs with the 'LBR' hardware feature currently.) This new feature is basically a sophisticated 'magnifying glass' for branch execution - something that is pretty difficult to extract from regular, function histogram centric profiles. The simplest mode is activated via 'perf record -b', and the result looks like this in perf report: $ perf record -b any_call,u -e cycles:u branchy $ perf report -b --sort=symbol 52.34% [.] main [.] f1 24.04% [.] f1 [.] f3 23.60% [.] f1 [.] f2 0.01% [k] _IO_new_file_xsputn [k] _IO_file_overflow 0.01% [k] _IO_vfprintf_internal [k] _IO_new_file_xsputn 0.01% [k] _IO_vfprintf_internal [k] strchrnul 0.01% [k] __printf [k] _IO_vfprintf_internal 0.01% [k] main [k] __printf This output shows from/to branch columns and shows the highest percentage (from,to) jump combinations - i.e. the most likely taken branches in the system. "branches" can also include function calls and any other synchronous and asynchronous transitions of the instruction pointer that are not 'next instruction' - such as system calls, traps, interrupts, etc. This feature comes with (hopefully intuitive) flat ascii and TUI support in perf report. - Various 'perf annotate' visual improvements for us assembly junkies. It will now recognize function calls in the TUI and by hitting enter you can follow the call (recursively) and back, amongst other improvements. - Multiple threads/processes recording support in perf record, perf stat, perf top - which is activated via a comma-list of PIDs: perf top -p 21483,21485 perf stat -p 21483,21485 -ddd perf record -p 21483,21485 - Support for per UID views, via the --uid paramter to perf top, perf report, etc. For example 'perf top --uid mingo' will only show the tasks that I am running, excluding other users, root, etc. - Jump label restructurings and improvements - this includes the factoring out of the (hopefully much clearer) include/linux/static_key.h generic facility: struct static_key key = STATIC_KEY_INIT_FALSE; ... if (static_key_false(&key)) do unlikely code else do likely code ... static_key_slow_inc(); ... static_key_slow_inc(); ... The static_key_false() branch will be generated into the code with as little impact to the likely code path as possible. the static_key_slow_*() APIs flip the branch via live kernel code patching. This facility can now be used more widely within the kernel to micro-optimize hot branches whose likelihood matches the static-key usage and fast/slow cost patterns. - SW function tracer improvements: perf support and filtering support. - Various hardenings of the perf.data ABI, to make older perf.data's smoother on newer tool versions, to make new features integrate more smoothly, to support cross-endian recording/analyzing workflows better, etc. - Restructuring of the kprobes code, the splitting out of 'optprobes', and a corner case bugfix. - Allow the tracing of kernel console output (printk). - Improvements/fixes to user-space RDPMC support, allowing user-space self-profiling code to extract PMU counts without performing any system calls, while playing nice with the kernel side. - 'perf bench' improvements - ... and lots of internal restructurings, cleanups and fixes that made these features possible. And, as usual this list is incomplete as there were also lots of other improvements * 'perf-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (120 commits) perf report: Fix annotate double quit issue in branch view mode perf report: Remove duplicate annotate choice in branch view mode perf/x86: Prettify pmu config literals perf report: Enable TUI in branch view mode perf report: Auto-detect branch stack sampling mode perf record: Add HEADER_BRANCH_STACK tag perf record: Provide default branch stack sampling mode option perf tools: Make perf able to read files from older ABIs perf tools: Fix ABI compatibility bug in print_event_desc() perf tools: Enable reading of perf.data files from different ABI rev perf: Add ABI reference sizes perf report: Add support for taken branch sampling perf record: Add support for sampling taken branch perf tools: Add code to support PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_STACK x86/kprobes: Split out optprobe related code to kprobes-opt.c x86/kprobes: Fix a bug which can modify kernel code permanently x86/kprobes: Fix instruction recovery on optimized path perf: Add callback to flush branch_stack on context switch perf: Disable PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_* when not supported perf/x86: Add LBR software filter support for Intel CPUs ...

2012-03-16sch_sfq: revert dont put new flow at the end of flowsEric Dumazet1-1/+5
This reverts commit d47a0ac7b6 (sch_sfq: dont put new flow at the end of flows) As Jesper found out, patch sounded great but has bad side effects. In stress situation, pushing new flows in front of the queue can prevent old flows doing any progress. Packets can stay in SFQ queue for unlimited amount of time. It's possible to add heuristics to limit this problem, but this would add complexity outside of SFQ scope. A more sensible answer to Dave Taht concerns (who reported the issued I tried to solve in original commit) is probably to use a qdisc hierarchy so that high prio packets dont enter a potentially crowded SFQ qdisc.

2012-03-11tcp: fix syncookie regressionEric Dumazet2-17/+23
commit ea4fc0d619 (ipv4: Don't use rt->rt_{src,dst} in ip_queue_xmit()) added a serious regression on synflood handling. Simon Kirby discovered a successful connection was delayed by 20 seconds before being responsive. In my tests, I discovered that xmit frames were lost, and needed ~4 retransmits and a socket dst rebuild before being really sent. In case of syncookie initiated connection, we use a different path to initialize the socket dst, and inet->cork.fl.u.ip4 is left cleared. As ip_queue_xmit() now depends on inet flow being setup, fix this by copying the temp flowi4 we use in cookie_v4_check().

2012-03-06bridge: netfilter: don't call iptables on vlan packets if sysctl is offFlorian Westphal1-14/+18
When net.bridge.bridge-nf-filter-vlan-tagged is 0 (default), vlan packets arriving should not be sent to ip(6)tables by bridge netfilter. However, it turns out that we currently always send VLAN packets to netfilter, if .. a), CONFIG_VLAN_8021Q is enabled ; or b), CONFIG_VLAN_8021Q is not set but rx vlan offload is enabled on the bridge port. This is because bridge netfilter treats skb with skb->protocol == ETH_P_IP{V6} as "non-vlan packet". With rx vlan offload on or CONFIG_VLAN_8021Q=y, the vlan header has already been removed here, and we cannot rely on skb->protocol alone. Fix this by only using skb->protocol if the skb has no vlan tag, or if a vlan tag is present and filter-vlan-tagged bridge netfilter sysctl is enabled. We cannot remove the skb->protocol == htons(ETH_P_8021Q) test because the vlan tag is still around in the CONFIG_VLAN_8021Q=n && "ethtool -K $itf rxvlan off" case. reproducer: iptables -t raw -I PREROUTING -i br0 iptables -t raw -I PREROUTING -i br0.1 Then send packets to an ip address configured on br0.1 interface. Even with net.bridge.bridge-nf-filter-vlan-tagged=0, the 1st rule will match instead of the 2nd one. With this patch applied, the 2nd rule will match instead. In the non-local address case, netfilter won't be consulted after this patch unless the sysctl is switched on.

2012-03-06tcp: fix tcp_shift_skb_data() to not shift SACKed data below snd_unaNeal Cardwell1-0/+4
This commit fixes tcp_shift_skb_data() so that it does not shift SACKed data below snd_una. This fixes an issue whose symptoms exactly match reports showing tp->sacked_out going negative since 3.3.0-rc4 (see "WARNING: at net/ipv4/tcp_input.c:3418" thread on netdev). Since 2008 (832d11c5cd076abc0aa1eaf7be96c81d1a59ce41) tcp_shift_skb_data() had been shifting SACKed ranges that were below snd_una. It checked that the *end* of the skb it was about to shift from was above snd_una, but did not check that the end of the actual shifted range was above snd_una; this commit adds that check. Shifting SACKed ranges below snd_una is problematic because for such ranges tcp_sacktag_one() short-circuits: it does not declare anything as SACKed and does not increase sacked_out. Before the fixes in commits cc9a672ee522d4805495b98680f4a3db5d0a0af9 and daef52bab1fd26e24e8e9578f8fb33ba1d0cb412, shifting SACKed ranges below snd_una happened to work because tcp_shifted_skb() was always (incorrectly) passing in to tcp_sacktag_one() an skb whose end_seq tcp_shift_skb_data() had already guaranteed was beyond snd_una. Hence tcp_sacktag_one() never short-circuited and always increased tp->sacked_out in this case. After those two fixes, my testing has verified that shifting SACKed ranges below snd_una could cause tp->sacked_out to go negative with the following sequence of events: (1) tcp_shift_skb_data() sees an skb whose end_seq is beyond snd_una, then shifts a prefix of that skb that is below snd_una (2) tcp_shifted_skb() increments the packet count of the already-SACKed prev sk_buff (3) tcp_sacktag_one() sees the end of the new SACKed range is below snd_una, so it short-circuits and doesn't increase tp->sacked_out (5) tcp_clean_rtx_queue() sees the SACKed skb has been ACKed, decrements tp->sacked_out by this "inflated" pcount that was missing a matching increase in tp->sacked_out, and hence tp->sacked_out underflows to a u32 like 0xFFFFFFFF, which casted to s32 is negative. (6) this leads to the warnings seen in the recent "WARNING: at net/ipv4/tcp_input.c:3418" thread on the netdev list; e.g.: tcp_input.c:3418 WARN_ON((int)tp->sacked_out < 0); More generally, I think this bug can be tickled in some cases where two or more ACKs from the receiver are lost and then a DSACK arrives that is immediately above an existing SACKed skb in the write queue. This fix changes tcp_shift_skb_data() to abort this sequence at step (1) in the scenario above by noticing that the bytes are below snd_una and not shifting them.

2012-03-03tcp: don't fragment SACKed skbs in tcp_mark_head_lost()Neal Cardwell1-0/+1
In tcp_mark_head_lost() we should not attempt to fragment a SACKed skb to mark the first portion as lost. This is for two primary reasons: (1) tcp_shifted_skb() coalesces adjacent regions of SACKed skbs. When doing this, it preserves the sum of their packet counts in order to reflect the real-world dynamics on the wire. But given that skbs can have remainders that do not align to MSS boundaries, this packet count preservation means that for SACKed skbs there is not necessarily a direct linear relationship between tcp_skb_pcount(skb) and skb->len. Thus tcp_mark_head_lost()'s previous attempts to fragment off and mark as lost a prefix of length (packets - oldcnt)*mss from SACKed skbs were leading to occasional failures of the WARN_ON(len > skb->len) in tcp_fragment() (which used to be a BUG_ON(); see the recent "crash in tcp_fragment" thread on netdev). (2) there is no real point in fragmenting off part of a SACKed skb and calling tcp_skb_mark_lost() on it, since tcp_skb_mark_lost() is a NOP for SACKed skbs.

2012-02-28tcp: fix false reordering signal in tcp_shifted_skbNeal Cardwell1-8/+10
When tcp_shifted_skb() shifts bytes from the skb that is currently pointed to by 'highest_sack' then the increment of TCP_SKB_CB(skb)->seq implicitly advances tcp_highest_sack_seq(). This implicit advancement, combined with the recent fix to pass the correct SACKed range into tcp_sacktag_one(), caused tcp_sacktag_one() to think that the newly SACKed range was before the tcp_highest_sack_seq(), leading to a call to tcp_update_reordering() with a degree of reordering matching the size of the newly SACKed range (typically just 1 packet, which is a NOP, but potentially larger). This commit fixes this by simply calling tcp_sacktag_one() before the TCP_SKB_CB(skb)->seq advancement that can advance our notion of the highest SACKed sequence. Correspondingly, we can simplify the code a little now that tcp_shifted_skb() should update the lost_cnt_hint in all cases where skb == tp->lost_skb_hint.

Fix from Eric Dumazet. 12) Port type array indexing off-by-one in mlx4 driver, fix from Yevgeny Petrilin. 13) Fix regression in link-down handling in davinci_emac which causes all RX descriptors to be freed up and therefore RX to wedge completely, from Christian Riesch. 14) It took two attempts, but ctnetlink soft lockups seem to be cured now, from Pablo Neira Ayuso. 15) Endianness bug fix in ENIC driver, from Santosh Nayak. 16) The long ago conversion of the PPP fragmentation code over to abstracted SKB list handling wasn't perfect, once we get an out of sequence SKB we don't flush the rest of them like we should. From Ben McKeegan. 17) Fix regression of ->ip_summed initialization in sfc driver. From Ben Hutchings. 18) Bluetooth timeout mistakenly using msecs instead of jiffies, from Andrzej Kaczmarek. 19) Using _sync variant of work cancellation results in deadlocks, use the non _sync variants instead. From Andre Guedes. 20) Bluetooth rfcomm code had reference counting problems leading to crashes, fix from Octavian Purdila. 21) The conversion of netem over to classful qdisc handling added two bugs to netem_dequeue(), fixes from Eric Dumazet. 22) Missing pci_iounmap() in ATM Solos driver. Fix from Julia Lawall. 23) b44_pci_exit() should not have __exit tag since it's invoked from non-__exit code. From Nikola Pajkovsky. 24) The conversion of the neighbour hash tables over to RCU added a race, fixed here by adding the necessary reread of tbl->nht, fix from Michel Machado. 25) When we added VF (virtual function) attributes for network device dumps, this potentially bloats up the size of the dump of one network device such that the dump size is too large for the buffer allocated by properly written netlink applications. In particular, if you add 255 VFs to a network device, parts of GLIBC stop working. To fix this, we add an attribute that is used to turn on these extended portions of the network device dump. Sophisticaed applications like 'ip' that want to see this stuff will be changed to set the attribute, whereas things like GLIBC that don't care about VFs simply will not, and therefore won't be busted by the mere presence of VFs on a network device. Thanks to the tireless work of Greg Rose on this fix. * git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net: (53 commits) sfc: Fix assignment of ip_summed for pre-allocated skbs ppp: fix 'ppp_mp_reconstruct bad seq' errors enic: Fix endianness bug. gre: fix spelling in comments netfilter: ctnetlink: fix soft lockup when netlink adds new entries (v2) Revert "netfilter: ctnetlink: fix soft lockup when netlink adds new entries" davinci_emac: Do not free all rx dma descriptors during init mlx4_core: Fixing array indexes when setting port types phy: IC+101G and PHY_HAS_INTERRUPT flag netdev/phy/icplus: Correct broken phy_init code ipsec: be careful of non existing mac headers Move Logitech Harmony 900 from cdc_ether to zaurus hso: memsetting wrong data in hso_get_count() netfilter: ip6_route_output() never returns NULL. ethernet/broadcom: ip6_route_output() never returns NULL. ipv6: ip6_route_output() never returns NULL. jme: Fix FIFO flush issue atm: clip: remove clip_tbl ipv4: ping: Fix recvmsg MSG_OOB error handling. rtnetlink: Fix problem with buffer allocation ...

2012-02-24netfilter: ctnetlink: fix soft lockup when netlink adds new entries (v2)Jozsef Kadlecsik2-34/+50
Marcell Zambo and Janos Farago noticed and reported that when new conntrack entries are added via netlink and the conntrack table gets full, soft lockup happens. This is because the nf_conntrack_lock is held while nf_conntrack_alloc is called, which is in turn wants to lock nf_conntrack_lock while evicting entries from the full table. The patch fixes the soft lockup with limiting the holding of the nf_conntrack_lock to the minimum, where it's absolutely required. It required to extend (and thus change) nf_conntrack_hash_insert so that it makes sure conntrack and ctnetlink do not add the same entry twice to the conntrack table.

2012-02-24static keys: Introduce 'struct static_key', static_key_true()/false() and static_key_slow_[inc|dec]()Ingo Molnar6-24/+24
So here's a boot tested patch on top of Jason's series that does all the cleanups I talked about and turns jump labels into a more intuitive to use facility. It should also address the various misconceptions and confusions that surround jump labels. Typical usage scenarios: #include <linux/static_key.h> struct static_key key = STATIC_KEY_INIT_TRUE; if (static_key_false(&key)) do unlikely code else do likely code Or: if (static_key_true(&key)) do likely code else do unlikely code The static key is modified via: static_key_slow_inc(&key); ... static_key_slow_dec(&key); The 'slow' prefix makes it abundantly clear that this is an expensive operation. I've updated all in-kernel code to use this everywhere. Note that I (intentionally) have not pushed through the rename blindly through to the lowest levels: the actual jump-label patching arch facility should be named like that, so we want to decouple jump labels from the static-key facility a bit. On non-jump-label enabled architectures static keys default to likely()/unlikely() branches.

2012-02-21rtnetlink: Fix problem with buffer allocationGreg Rose1-21/+57
Implement a new netlink attribute type IFLA_EXT_MASK. The mask is a 32 bit value that can be used to indicate to the kernel that certain extended ifinfo values are requested by the user application. At this time the only mask value defined is RTEXT_FILTER_VF to indicate that the user wants the ifinfo dump to send information about the VFs belonging to the interface. This patch fixes a bug in which certain applications do not have large enough buffers to accommodate the extra information returned by the kernel with large numbers of SR-IOV virtual functions. Those applications will not send the new netlink attribute with the interface info dump request netlink messages so they will not get unexpectedly large request buffers returned by the kernel. Modifies the rtnl_calcit function to traverse the list of net devices and compute the minimum buffer size that can hold the info dumps of all matching devices based upon the filter passed in via the new netlink attribute filter mask. If no filter mask is sent then the buffer allocation defaults to NLMSG_GOODSIZE. With this change it is possible to add yet to be defined netlink attributes to the dump request which should make it fairly extensible in the future.

2012-02-21neighbour: Fixed race condition at tbl->nhtMichel Machado1-0/+2
When the fixed race condition happens: 1. While function neigh_periodic_work scans the neighbor hash table pointed by field tbl->nht, it unlocks and locks tbl->lock between buckets in order to call cond_resched. 2. Assume that function neigh_periodic_work calls cond_resched, that is, the lock tbl->lock is available, and function neigh_hash_grow runs. 3. Once function neigh_hash_grow finishes, and RCU calls neigh_hash_free_rcu, the original struct neigh_hash_table that function neigh_periodic_work was using doesn't exist anymore. 4. Once back at neigh_periodic_work, whenever the old struct neigh_hash_table is accessed, things can go badly.

2012-02-21mac80211: Fix a warning on changing to monitor mode from STAMohammed Shafi Shajakhan1-0/+3
nothing needs to be done for monitor/AP_VLAN mode on calling ieee80211_bss_info_change_notify -> drv_bss_info_changed with the change flag 'BSS_CHANGED_IDLE'. 'wl1271' seems to use BSS_CHANGED_IDLE only for STA and IBSS mode. further the non-idle state of the monitor mode is taken care by the 'count' variable which counts non-idle interfaces. ieee80211_idle_off(local, "in use") will be called. this fixes the following WARNING when we have initially STA mode (network manager running) and not associated, and change it to monitor mode with network manager disabled and bringing up the monitor mode. this changes the idle state from 'true' (STA unassociated) to 'false' (MONITOR mode) exposed by the commit 405385f8ce7a2ed8f82e216d88b5282142e1288b "mac80211: set bss_conf.idle when vif is connected" WARNING: net/mac80211/main.c:212 ieee80211_bss_info_change_notify+0x1cf/0x330 [mac80211]() Hardware name: 64756D6 Pid: 3835, comm: ifconfig Tainted: G O 3.3.0-rc3-wl #9 Call Trace: [<c0133b02>] warn_slowpath_common+0x72/0xa0 [<fc8e8c3f>] ? ieee80211_bss_info_change_notify+0x1cf/0x330 [mac80211] [<fc8e8c3f>] ? ieee80211_bss_info_change_notify+0x1cf/0x330 [mac80211] [<c0133b52>] warn_slowpath_null+0x22/0x30 [<fc8e8c3f>] ieee80211_bss_info_change_notify+0x1cf/0x330 [mac80211] [<fc8f9de3>] __ieee80211_recalc_idle+0x113/0x430 [mac80211] [<fc8fabc6>] ieee80211_do_open+0x156/0x7e0 [mac80211] [<fc8f8a25>] ? ieee80211_check_concurrent_iface+0x25/0x180 [mac80211] [<c015dd9f>] ? raw_notifier_call_chain+0x1f/0x30 [<fc8fb290>] ieee80211_open+0x40/0x80 [mac80211] [<c05894f6>] __dev_open+0x96/0xe0 [<c068fba5>] ? _raw_spin_unlock_bh+0x35/0x40 [<c05881d9>] __dev_change_flags+0x109/0x170 [<c0589423>] dev_change_flags+0x23/0x60 [<c05f3770>] devinet_ioctl+0x6a0/0x770 ieee80211 phy0: device no longer idle - in use Cc: Eliad Peller <eliad@wizery.com> Signed-off-by: Mohammed Shafi Shajakhan <mohammed@qca.qualcomm.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

rate control algorithms concludes the rate as invalid with rate[i].idx < -1 , while they do also check for rate[i].count is non-zero. it would be safer to zero initialize the 'count' field. recently we had a ath9k rate control crash where the ath9k rate control in ath_tx_status assumed to check only for rate[i].count being non-zero in one instance and ended up in using invalid rate index for 'connection monitoring NULL func frames' which eventually lead to the crash. thanks to Pavel Roskin for fixing it and finding the root cause. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=768639 Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Cc: Pavel Roskin <proski@gnu.org> Signed-off-by: Mohammed Shafi Shajakhan <mohammed@qca.qualcomm.com> Signed-off-by: John W.
