Allow users to symbolically specify L3 events for Family 17h processors
using the existing AMD Uncore driver.
Source of events descriptions are from section 2.1.15.4.1 "L3 Cache PMC
Events" of the latest Family 17h PPR, available here:
https://www.amd.com/system/files/TechDocs/55570-B1_PUB.zip
Opnly BriefDescriptions added, since they show with and without
the -v and --details flags.
Tested with:
# perf stat -e l3_request_g1.caching_l3_cache_accesses,amd_l3/event=0x01,umask=0x80/,l3_comb_clstr_state.request_miss,amd_l3/event=0x06,umask=0x01/ perf bench mem memcpy -s 4mb -l 100 -f default

Now that the default perf_events paranoid level is set to 2, a regular
user cannot monitor kernel level activity anymore. As such, with the
following cmdline:
$ perf record -e cycles date
The perf tool first tries cycles:uk but then falls back to cycles:u as
can be seen in the perf report --header-only output:
cmdline : /export/hda3/tmp/perf.tip record -e cycles ls
event : name = cycles:u, , id = { 436186, ... }
This is okay as long as there is way to learn the priv level was changed
internally by the tool.
But consider a similar example:
$ perf record -b -e cycles date
Error:
You may not have permission to collect stats.
Consider tweaking /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_paranoid,
which controls use of the performance events system by
unprivileged users (without CAP_SYS_ADMIN).
...
Why is that treated differently given that the branch sampling inherits the
priv level of the first event in this case, i.e., cycles:u? It turns out
that the branch sampling code is more picky and also checks exclude_hv.
In the fallback path, perf record is setting exclude_kernel = 1, but it
does not change exclude_hv. This does not seem to match the restriction
imposed by paranoid = 2.
This patch fixes the problem by forcing exclude_hv = 1 in the fallback
for paranoid=2. With this in place:
$ perf record -b -e cycles date
cmdline : /export/hda3/tmp/perf.tip record -b -e cycles ls
event : name = cycles:u, , id = { 436847, ... }
And the command succeeds as expected.
V2 fix a white space.
Committer testing:
After aplying the patch we get:
[acme@quaco ~]$ perf record -b -e cycles date

That warning about restricted kernel maps will be suppressed in a follow
up patch, as perf_event_attr.exclude_kernel is set, i.e. no samples for
the kernel will be taken and thus no need for those maps.

This patch is to return error code of perf_new_session function on
failure instead of NULL.
Test Results:
Before Fix:
$ perf c2c report -input
failed to open nput: No such file or directory
$ echo $?
0
$
After Fix:
$ perf c2c report -input
failed to open nput: No such file or directory
$ echo $?
254
$
Committer notes:
Fix 'perf tests topology' case, where we use that TEST_ASSERT_VAL(...,
session), i.e. we need to pass zero in case of failure, which was the
case before when NULL was returned by perf_session__new() for failure,
but now we need to negate the result of IS_ERR(session) to respect that
TEST_ASSERT_VAL) expectation of zero meaning failure.

Since add_probe_trace_event() can reuse tf->tevs[i] after calling
clear_probe_trace_event(), this can make perf-probe crash if the 1st
attempt of probe event finding fails to find an event argument, and the
2nd attempt fails to find probe point.
E.g.
$ perf probe -D "task_pid_nr tsk"
Failed to find 'tsk' in this function.
Failed to get entry address of warn_bad_vsyscall
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Fix to skip making a same probe address on given line.
Since a DWARF line info contains several entries for one line with
different column, perf probe will make a different probe on same address
if user specifies a probe point by "function:line" or "file:line".
e.g.
$ perf probe -D kernel_read:8
p:probe/kernel_read_L8 kernel_read+39
p:probe/kernel_read_L8_1 kernel_read+39
This skips such duplicated probe addresses.

Being able to pass something like:

Should be easy enough, first using tracepoint filters, then via the

as the default event to profile the guest.
This will not provide any proper samples from the guest incase of

guest rather than the host.

record', instead of selecting 'cycles' as a default event for all
architectures.
For powerpc this function checks for any user specified event, and if
there isn't any it returns invalid instead of proceeding with 'cycles'
event.

Move kvm-stat header file to the common include section, and make the
definitions in the header file under the conditional inclusion `#ifdef
HAVE_KVM_STAT_SUPPORT`.
This helps to define other 'perf kvm' related function prototypes in
kvm-stat header file, which may not need kvm-stat support.

Observe a segmentation fault when 'perf stat' is asked to repeat forever
with the interval option.
Without fix:
# perf stat -r 0 -I 5000 -e cycles -a sleep 10
# time counts unit events
5.000211692 3,13,89,82,34,157 cycles
10.000380119 1,53,98,52,22,294 cycles
10.040467280 17,16,79,265 cycles
Segmentation fault
This problem was only observed when we use forever option aka -r 0 and
works with limited repeats. Calling print_counter with ts being set to
NULL, is not a correct option when interval is set. Hence avoid
print_counter(NULL,..) if interval is set.
With fix:
# perf stat -r 0 -I 5000 -e cycles -a sleep 10
# time counts unit events
5.019866622 3,15,14,43,08,697 cycles

When using 'perf stat' with repeat and interval option, it shows wrong
values for events.
The wrong values will be shown for the first interval on the second and
subsequent repetitions.
Without the fix:

prev_raw_counts is allocated when using intervals. This is used when
calculating the difference in the counts of events when using interval.
The current counts are stored in prev_raw_counts to calculate the
differences in the next iteration.
On the first interval of the second and subsequent repetitions,
prev_raw_counts would be the values stored in the last interval of the
previous repetitions, while the current counts will only be for the
first interval of the current repetition.
Hence there is a possibility of events showing up as big number.
Fix this by resetting prev_raw_counts whenever perf stat repeats the
command.
With the fix:
# perf stat -r 3 -I 2000 -e faults -e sched:sched_switch -a sleep 5
2.019349347 2,597 faults

Committer notes:
This was broken since the cset introducing the --interval feature, i.e.
--repeat + --interval wasn't tested at that point, add the Fixes tag so

Pruning a bit more the includes dependency tree. Building this thing on
lots of containers takes time, we better reduce the time per build, each
container is doing 6 builds when clang and clang-devel are available,
and the plan is to do a 'make -C tools/perf build-test' that have many
more.
Also helps when doing normal development, as touching some random file
will have a much reduced chance of triggering lots of rebuilds.

This reverts commit b03755ad6f33b7b8cd7312a3596a2dbf496de6e7.
This is sad, and done for all the wrong reasons. Because that commit is
good, and does exactly what it says: avoids a lot of small disk requests
for the inode table read-ahead.
However, it turns out that it causes an entirely unrelated problem: the
getrandom() system call was introduced back in 2014 by commit
c6e9d6f38894 ("random: introduce getrandom(2) system call"), and people
use it as a convenient source of good random numbers.
But part of the current semantics for getrandom() is that it waits for
the entropy pool to fill at least partially (unlike /dev/urandom). And
at least ArchLinux apparently has a systemd that uses getrandom() at
boot time, and the improvements in IO patterns means that existing
installations suddenly start hanging, waiting for entropy that will
never happen.
It seems to be an unlucky combination of not _quite_ enough entropy,
together with a particular systemd version and configuration. Lennart
says that the systemd-random-seed process (which is what does this early
access) is supposed to not block any other boot activity, but sadly that
doesn't actually seem to be the case (possibly due bogus dependencies on
cryptsetup for encrypted swapspace).
The correct fix is to fix getrandom() to not block when it's not
appropriate, but that fix is going to take a lot more discussion. Do we
just make it act like /dev/urandom by default, and add a new flag for
"wait for entropy"? Do we add a boot-time option? Or do we just limit
the amount of time it will wait for entropy?
So in the meantime, we do the revert to give us time to discuss the
eventual fix for the fundamental problem, at which point we can re-apply
the ext4 inode table access optimization.

This reverts commit a89db445fbd7f1f8457b03759aa7343fa530ef6b.
I was hasty to include this patch, and it breaks the build on 32 bit.
Defence in depth is good but let's do it properly.

James Harvey reported a livelock that was introduced by commit
d012a06ab1d23 ("Revert "KVM: x86/mmu: Zap only the relevant pages when
removing a memslot"").
The livelock occurs because kvm_mmu_zap_all() as it exists today will
voluntarily reschedule and drop KVM's mmu_lock, which allows other vCPUs
to add shadow pages. With enough vCPUs, kvm_mmu_zap_all() can get stuck
in an infinite loop as it can never zap all pages before observing lock
contention or the need to reschedule. The equivalent of kvm_mmu_zap_all()
that was in use at the time of the reverted commit (4e103134b8623, "KVM:
x86/mmu: Zap only the relevant pages when removing a memslot") employed
a fast invalidate mechanism and was not susceptible to the above livelock.
There are three ways to fix the livelock:
- Reverting the revert (commit d012a06ab1d23) is not a viable option as
the revert is needed to fix a regression that occurs when the guest has
one or more assigned devices. It's unlikely we'll root cause the device
assignment regression soon enough to fix the regression timely.
- Remove the conditional reschedule from kvm_mmu_zap_all(). However, although
removing the reschedule would be a smaller code change, it's less safe
in the sense that the resulting kvm_mmu_zap_all() hasn't been used in
the wild for flushing memslots since the fast invalidate mechanism was
introduced by commit 6ca18b6950f8d ("KVM: x86: use the fast way to
invalidate all pages"), back in 2013.
- Reintroduce the fast invalidate mechanism and use it when zapping shadow
pages in response to a memslot being deleted/moved, which is what this
patch does.
For all intents and purposes, this is a revert of commit ea145aacf4ae8
("Revert "KVM: MMU: fast invalidate all pages"") and a partial revert of
commit 7390de1e99a70 ("Revert "KVM: x86: use the fast way to invalidate
all pages""), i.e. restores the behavior of commit 5304b8d37c2a5 ("KVM:
MMU: fast invalidate all pages") and commit 6ca18b6950f8d ("KVM: x86:
use the fast way to invalidate all pages") respectively.
Fixes: d012a06ab1d23 ("Revert "KVM: x86/mmu: Zap only the relevant pages when removing a memslot"")

Emulation of VMPTRST can incorrectly inject a page fault
when passed an operand that points to an MMIO address.
The page fault will use uninitialized kernel stack memory
as the CR2 and error code.
The right behavior would be to abort the VM with a KVM_EXIT_INTERNAL_ERROR
exit to userspace; however, it is not an easy fix, so for now just ensure
that the error code and CR2 are zero.

Part of the intention during the definition of the RISC-V kernel image
header was to lay the groundwork for a future merge with the ARM64
image header. One error during my original review was not noticing
that the RISC-V header's "magic" field was at a different size and
position than the ARM64's "magic" field. If the existing ARM64 Image
header parsing code were to attempt to parse an existing RISC-V kernel
image header format, it would see a magic number 0. This is
undesirable, since it's our intention to align as closely as possible
with the ARM64 header format. Another problem was that the original
"res3" field was not being initialized correctly to zero.
Address these issues by creating a 32-bit "magic2" field in the RISC-V
header which matches the ARM64 "magic" field. RISC-V binaries will
store "RSC\x05" in this field. The intention is that the use of the
existing 64-bit "magic" field in the RISC-V header will be deprecated
over time. Increment the minor version number of the file format to
indicate this change, and update the documentation accordingly. Fix
the assembler directives in head.S to ensure that reserved fields are
properly zero-initialized.

A Mediatek based smartphone owner reports problems with USB
tethering in Linux. The verbose USB listing shows a rndis_host
interface pair (e0/01/03 + 10/00/00), but the driver fails to
bind with
[ 355.960428] usb 1-4: bad CDC descriptors
The problem is a failsafe test intended to filter out ACM serial
functions using the same 02/02/ff class/subclass/protocol as RNDIS.
The serial functions are recognized by their non-zero bmCapabilities.
No RNDIS function with non-zero bmCapabilities were known at the time
this failsafe was added. But it turns out that some Wireless class
RNDIS functions are using the bmCapabilities field. These functions
are uniquely identified as RNDIS by their class/subclass/protocol, so
the failing test can safely be disabled. The same applies to the two
types of Misc class RNDIS functions.
Applying the failsafe to Communication class functions only retains
the original functionality, and fixes the problem for the Mediatek based
smartphone.
Tow examples of CDC functional descriptors with non-zero bmCapabilities
from Wireless class RNDIS functions are:
0e8d:000a Mediatek Crosscall Spider X5 3G Phone
CDC Header:
bcdCDC 1.10
CDC ACM:
bmCapabilities 0x0f
connection notifications
sends break
line coding and serial state
get/set/clear comm features
CDC Union:
bMasterInterface 0
bSlaveInterface 1
CDC Call Management:
bmCapabilities 0x03
call management
use DataInterface
bDataInterface 1
and
19d2:1023 ZTE K4201-z
CDC Header:
bcdCDC 1.10
CDC ACM:
bmCapabilities 0x02
line coding and serial state
CDC Call Management:
bmCapabilities 0x03
call management
use DataInterface
bDataInterface 1
CDC Union:

bSlaveInterface 1
The Mediatek example is believed to apply to most smartphones with
Mediatek firmware. The ZTE example is most likely also part of a larger
family of devices/firmwares.

This is because in sctp_do_bind, if sctp_get_port_local is to
create hash bucket successfully, and sctp_add_bind_addr failed
to bind address, e.g return -ENOMEM, so memory leak found, it
needs to destroy allocated bucket.
