The hists__filter_entries() function is called when down arrow key is
pressed for navigating through the entries in TUI. It has a check for
filtering out entries that have very small overhead (under min_pcnt).
However it just assumed the entries are sorted by the overhead so when
it saw such a small overheaded entry, it just stopped navigating as an
optimization. But it's not true anymore due to new --fields and
--sort optoin behavior and this case users cannot go down to a next
entry if ther's an entry with small overhead in-between.

The -F/--fields option is to allow user setup output field in any
order. It can receive any sort keys and following (hpp) fields:
overhead, overhead_sys, overhead_us, sample and period
If guest profiling is enabled, overhead_guest_{sys,us} will be

The output fields also affect sort order unless you give -s/--sort
option. And any keys specified on -s option, will also be added to
the output field list automatically.

Until now the hpp and sort functions do similar jobs different ways.
Since the sort functions converted/wrapped to hpp formats it can do
the job in a uniform way.
The perf_hpp__sort_list has a list of hpp formats to sort entries and
the perf_hpp__list has a list of hpp formats to print output result.
To have a backward compatibility, it automatically adds 'overhead'
field in front of sort list. And then all of fields in sort list
added to the output list (if it's not already there).

This patch fixes a bug in precise_store_data_hsw() whereby
it would set the data source memory level to the wrong value.
As per the the SDM Vol 3b Table 18-41 (Layout of Data Linear
Address Information in PEBS Record), when status bit 0 is set
this is a L1 hit, otherwise this is a L1 miss.
This patch encodes the memory level according to the specification.
In V2, we added the filtering on the store events.
Only the following events produce L1 information:
* MEM_UOPS_RETIRED.STLB_MISS_STORES
* MEM_UOPS_RETIRED.LOCK_STORES
* MEM_UOPS_RETIRED.SPLIT_STORES
* MEM_UOPS_RETIRED.ALL_STORES

Currently perf record doesn't propagate the exit status of a workload
given by the command line. But sometimes it'd useful if it's
propagated so that a monitoring script can handle errors
appropriately.
To do that, it moves most of logic out of the exit handlers and run
them directly in the __cmd_record(). The only thing needs to be done
in the handler is propagating terminating signal so that the shell can
terminate its loop properly when Ctrl-C was pressed. Also it cleaned
up the resource management code in record__exit().
With this change, perf record returns the child exit status in case of
normal termination and send signal to itself when terminated by signal.
Example run of Stephane's case:
$ perf record true && echo yes || echo no
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.013 MB perf.data (~589 samples) ]
yes
$ perf record false && echo yes || echo no
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.013 MB perf.data (~589 samples) ]
no
Jiri's case (error in parent):
$ perf record -m 10G true && echo yes || echo no
rounding mmap pages size to 17179869184 bytes (4194304 pages)
failed to mmap with 12 (Cannot allocate memory)
no
$ ulimit -n 6
$ perf record sleep 1 && echo yes || echo no
failed to create 'go' pipe: Too many open files
Couldn't run the workload!
no
And Peter's case (interrupted by signal):
$ while :; do perf record sleep 1; done
^C[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.014 MB perf.data (~593 samples) ]

In output of perf sched map, any shortname of thread will be explained
at the first time when it appear.
Example:
*A0 228836.978985 secs A0 => perf:23032
*. A0 228836.979016 secs B0 => swapper:0
. *C0 228836.979099 secs C0 => migration/3:22
*A0 . C0 228836.979115 secs
A0 . *. 228836.979115 secs
But B0, which is explained as swapper:0 did not appear in the
left part of output. Instead, we use '.' as the shortname of
swapper:0. So the comment of "B0 => swapper:0" is not easy to
understand.
This patch clarify the output of perf sched map with not allocating
one letter-number shortname for swapper:0 and print ". => swapper:0"
as the explanation for swapper:0.
Example:
*A0 228836.978985 secs A0 => perf:23032
* . A0 228836.979016 secs . => swapper:0
. *B0 228836.979099 secs B0 => migration/3:22
*A0 . B0 228836.979115 secs
A0 . * . 228836.979115 secs
A0 *C0 . 228836.979225 secs C0 => ksoftirqd/2:18
A0 *D0 . 228836.979236 secs D0 => rcu_sched:7

[ small style fixes to make checkpatch happy ]
Signed-off-by: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org>
When removing a (sibling) event we do:
raw_spin_lock_irq(&ctx->lock);
perf_group_detach(event);
raw_spin_unlock_irq(&ctx->lock);
<hole>
perf_remove_from_context(event);
raw_spin_lock_irq(&ctx->lock);
...
raw_spin_unlock_irq(&ctx->lock);
Now, assuming the event is a sibling, it will be 'unreachable' for
things like ctx_sched_out() because that iterates the
groups->siblings, and we just unhooked the sibling.
So, if during <hole> we get ctx_sched_out(), it will miss the event
and not call event_sched_out() on it, leaving it programmed on the
PMU.
The subsequent perf_remove_from_context() call will find the ctx is
inactive and only call list_del_event() to remove the event from all
other lists.
Hereafter we can proceed to free the event; while still programmed!
Close this hole by moving perf_group_detach() inside the same
ctx->lock region(s) perf_remove_from_context() has.
The condition on inherited events only in __perf_event_exit_task() is
likely complete crap because non-inherited events are part of groups
too and we're tearing down just the same. But leave that for another
patch.

slub: fix memcg_propagate_slab_attrs
drivers/rtc/rtc-pcf8523.c: fix month definition
On 64-bit systems, O_LARGEFILE is automatically added to flags inside
the open() syscall (also openat(), blkdev_open(), etc). Userspace
therefore defines O_LARGEFILE to be 0 - you can use it, but it's a
no-op. Everything should be O_LARGEFILE by default.
But: when fanotify does create_fd() it uses dentry_open(), which skips
all that. And userspace can't set O_LARGEFILE in fanotify_init()
because it's defined to 0. So if fanotify gets an event regarding a
large file, the read() will just fail with -EOVERFLOW.
This patch adds O_LARGEFILE to fanotify_init()'s event_f_flags on 64-bit
systems, using the same test as open()/openat()/etc.

This reverts commit 0bf1457f0c ("mm: vmscan: do not swap anon pages
just because free+file is low") because it introduced a regression in
mostly-anonymous workloads, where reclaim would become ineffective and
trap every allocating task in direct reclaim.
The problem is that there is a runaway feedback loop in the scan balance
between file and anon, where the balance tips heavily towards a tiny
thrashing file LRU and anonymous pages are no longer being looked at.
The commit in question removed the safe guard that would detect such
situations and respond with forced anonymous reclaim.
This commit was part of a series to fix premature swapping in loads with
relatively little cache, and while it made a small difference, the cure
is obviously worse than the disease. Revert it.
