This change makes the check exact (no more false positives
on "negative" addresses).
Andy explains:
"Canonical addresses either start with 17 zeros or 17 ones.
In the old code, we checked that the top (64-47) = 17 bits were all
zero. We did this by shifting right by 47 bits and making sure that
nothing was left.
In the new code, we're shifting left by (64 - 48) = 16 bits and then
signed shifting right by the same amount, this propagating the 17th
highest bit to all positions to its left. If we get the same value we
started with, then we're good to go."
While it isn't really important to be fully correct here -
almost all addresses we'll ever see will be userspace ones,
but OTOH it looks to be cheap enough: the new code uses
two more ALU ops but preserves %rcx, allowing to not
reload it from pt_regs->cx again.
On disassembly level, the changes are:
cmp %rcx,0x80(%rsp) -> mov 0x80(%rsp),%r11; cmp %rcx,%r11
shr $0x2f,%rcx -> shl $0x10,%rcx; sar $0x10,%rcx; cmp %rcx,%r11
mov 0x58(%rsp),%rcx -> (eliminated)

The core_pmu does not define cpu_* callbacks, which handles
allocation of 'struct cpu_hw_events::shared_regs' data,
initialization of debug store and PMU_FL_EXCL_CNTRS counters.
While this probably won't happen on bare metal, virtual CPU can
define x86_pmu.extra_regs together with PMU version 1 and thus
be using core_pmu -> using shared_regs data without it being
allocated. That could could leave to following panic:

Adding cpu_(prepare|starting|dying) for core_pmu to have

to initialize debug store and PMU_FL_EXCL_CNTRS either for

"Here's the big tty/serial driver update for 4.1-rc1.
It was delayed for a bit due to some questions surrounding some of the

console command lines and expecting them all to be ignored for some
odd reason, but Peter is working on fixing that. If not, I'll send a
revert for the offending patch, but I have faith that Peter can
address it.
Other than the console work here, there's the usual serial driver
updates and changes, and a buch of 8250 reworks to try to make that
driver easier to maintain over time, and have it support more devices
in the future.

Pull PMEM driver from Ingo Molnar:
"This is the initial support for the pmem block device driver:
persistent non-volatile memory space mapped into the system's physical
memory space as large physical memory regions.
The driver is based on Intel code, written by Ross Zwisler, with fixes
by Boaz Harrosh, integrated with x86 e820 memory resource management
and tidied up by Christoph Hellwig.
Note that there were two other separate pmem driver submissions to
lkml: but apparently all parties (Ross Zwisler, Boaz Harrosh) are
reasonably happy with this initial version.
This version enables minimal support that enables persistent memory
devices out in the wild to work as block devices, identified through a
magic (non-standard) e820 flag and auto-discovered if
CONFIG_X86_PMEM_LEGACY=y, or added explicitly through manipulating the
memory maps via the "memmap=..." boot option with the new, special '!'
modifier character.
Limitations: this is a regular block device, and since the pmem areas
are not struct page backed, they are invisible to the rest of the
system (other than the block IO device), so direct IO to/from pmem
areas, direct mmap() or XIP is not possible yet. The page cache will
also shadow and double buffer pmem contents, etc.
Initial support is for x86"

tracing, mm: Record pfn instead of pointer to struct page
Dan Carpenter reported that pt_event_add() has buggy
error handling logic: it returns 0 instead of -EBUSY when
it fails to start a newly added event.
Furthermore, the control flow in this function is messy,
with cleanup labels mixed with direct returns.
Fix the bug and clean up the code by converting it to
a straight fast path for the regular non-failing case,
plus a clear sequence of cascading goto labels to do
all cleanup.
NOTE: I materially changed the existing clean up logic in the
pt_event_start() failure case to use the direct
perf_aux_output_end() path, not pt_event_del(), because
perf_aux_output_end() is enough here.

... because we do cache &target->thread.fpu.state->xsave into the

it gets initialized later, in init_fpu(), see:

The fix is simple: load xsave *after* init_fpu() has run.

RAPL energy hardware unit can vary within a single CPU package, e.g.
HSW server DRAM has a fixed energy unit of 15.3 uJ (2^-16) whereas
the unit on other domains can be enumerated from power unit MSR.
There might be other variations in the future, this patch adds
per cpu model quirk to allow special handling of certain cpus.
hw_unit is also removed from per cpu data since it is not per cpu
and the sampling rate for energy counter is typically not high.
Without this patch, DRAM domain on HSW servers will be counted
4x higher than the real energy counter.

When the TIF_SINGLESTEP tracee dequeues a signal,
handle_signal() clears TIF_FORCED_TF and X86_EFLAGS_TF but
leaves TIF_SINGLESTEP set.
If the tracer does PTRACE_SINGLESTEP again, enable_single_step()
sets X86_EFLAGS_TF but not TIF_FORCED_TF. This means that the
subsequent PTRACE_CONT doesn't not clear X86_EFLAGS_TF, and the
tracee gets the wrong SIGTRAP.
Test-case (needs -O2 to avoid prologue insns in signal handler):
#include <unistd.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <sys/ptrace.h>
#include <sys/wait.h>
#include <sys/user.h>
#include <assert.h>
#include <stddef.h>
void handler(int n)
{
asm("nop");
}
int child(void)
{
assert(ptrace(PTRACE_TRACEME, 0,0,0) == 0);
signal(SIGALRM, handler);
kill(getpid(), SIGALRM);
return 0x23;
}
void *getip(int pid)
{
return (void*)ptrace(PTRACE_PEEKUSER, pid,
offsetof(struct user, regs.rip), 0);
}
int main(void)
{
int pid, status;
pid = fork();
if (!pid)
return child();
assert(wait(&status) == pid);
assert(WIFSTOPPED(status) && WSTOPSIG(status) == SIGALRM);
assert(ptrace(PTRACE_SINGLESTEP, pid, 0, SIGALRM) == 0);
assert(wait(&status) == pid);
assert(WIFSTOPPED(status) && WSTOPSIG(status) == SIGTRAP);
assert((getip(pid) - (void*)handler) == 0);
assert(ptrace(PTRACE_SINGLESTEP, pid, 0, SIGALRM) == 0);
assert(wait(&status) == pid);
assert(WIFSTOPPED(status) && WSTOPSIG(status) == SIGTRAP);
assert((getip(pid) - (void*)handler) == 1);
assert(ptrace(PTRACE_CONT, pid, 0,0) == 0);
assert(wait(&status) == pid);
assert(WIFEXITED(status) && WEXITSTATUS(status) == 0x23);
return 0;
}
The last assert() fails because PTRACE_CONT wrongly triggers
another single-step and X86_EFLAGS_TF can't be cleared by
debugger until the tracee does sys_rt_sigreturn().
Change handle_signal() to do user_disable_single_step() if
stepping, we do not need to preserve TIF_SINGLESTEP because we
are going to do ptrace_notify(), and it is simply wrong to leak
this bit.
While at it, change the comment to explain why we also need to
clear TF unconditionally after setup_rt_frame().
Note: in the longer term we should probably change
setup_sigcontext() to use get_flags() and then just remove this
user_disable_single_step(). And, the state of TIF_FORCED_TF can
be wrong after restore_sigcontext() which can set/clear TF, this
needs another fix.
This fix fixes the 'single_step_syscall_32' testcase in
the x86 testsuite:
Before:

(Right now it's limited to root-only, but in the future we might
allow unprivileged use as well.)
(Alexei Starovoitov)
- Another non-trivial feature is per event clockid support: this
allows, amongst other things, the selection of different clock
sources for event timestamps traced via perf.
This feature is sought by people who'd like to merge perf generated
events with external events that were measured with different
clocks:
- cluster wide profiling
- for system wide tracing with user-space events,
- JIT profiling events
etc. Matching perf tooling support is added as well, available via
the -k, --clockid <clockid> parameter to perf record et al.
(Peter Zijlstra)
Hardware enablement kernel changes:
- x86 Intel Processor Trace (PT) support: which is a hardware tracer
on steroids, available on Broadwell CPUs.
The hardware trace stream is directly output into the user-space
ring-buffer, using the 'AUX' data format extension that was added
to the perf core to support hardware constraints such as the
necessity to have the tracing buffer physically contiguous.
This patch-set was developed for two years and this is the result.
A simple way to make use of this is to use BTS tracing, the PT
driver emulates BTS output - available via the 'intel_bts' PMU.
More explicit PT specific tooling support is in the works as well -
will probably be ready by 4.2.
(Alexander Shishkin, Peter Zijlstra)
- x86 Intel Cache QoS Monitoring (CQM) support: this is a hardware
feature of Intel Xeon CPUs that allows the measurement and
allocation/partitioning of caches to individual workloads.
These kernel changes expose the measurement side as a new PMU
driver, which exposes various QoS related PMU events. (The
partitioning change is work in progress and is planned to be merged
as a cgroup extension.)
(Matt Fleming, Peter Zijlstra; CPU feature detection by Peter P
Waskiewicz Jr)
- x86 Intel Haswell LBR call stack support: this is a new Haswell
feature that allows the hardware recording of call chains, plus
tooling support. To activate this feature you have to enable it
via the new 'lbr' call-graph recording option:
perf record --call-graph lbr
perf report
or:
perf top --call-graph lbr
This hardware feature is a lot faster than stack walk or dwarf
based unwinding, but has some limitations:
- It reuses the current LBR facility, so LBR call stack and
branch record can not be enabled at the same time.
- It is only available for user-space callchains.
(Yan, Zheng)
- x86 Intel Broadwell CPU support and various event constraints and
event table fixes for earlier models.
(Andi Kleen)
- x86 Intel HT CPUs event scheduling workarounds. This is a complex
CPU bug affecting the SNB,IVB,HSW families that results in counter
value corruption. The mitigation code is automatically enabled and
is transparent.
(Maria Dimakopoulou, Stephane Eranian)
The perf tooling side had a ton of changes in this cycle as well, so
I'm only able to list the user visible changes here, in addition to
the tooling changes outlined above:
User visible changes affecting all tools:
- Improve support of compressed kernel modules (Jiri Olsa)
- Save DSO loading errno to better report errors (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
- Bash completion for subcommands (Yunlong Song)
- Add 'I' event modifier for perf_event_attr.exclude_idle bit (Jiri Olsa)
- Support missing -f to override perf.data file ownership. (Yunlong Song)
- Show the first event with an invalid filter (David Ahern, Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
User visible changes in individual tools:
'perf data':
New tool for converting perf.data to other formats, initially
for the CTF (Common Trace Format) from LTTng (Jiri Olsa,
Sebastian Siewior)
'perf diff':
Add --kallsyms option (David Ahern)
'perf list':
Allow listing events with 'tracepoint' prefix (Yunlong Song)
Sort the output of the command (Yunlong Song)
'perf kmem':
Respect -i option (Jiri Olsa)
Print big numbers using thousands' group (Namhyung Kim)
Allow -v option (Namhyung Kim)
Fix alignment of slab result table (Namhyung Kim)
'perf probe':
Support multiple probes on different binaries on the same command line (Masami Hiramatsu)
Support unnamed union/structure members data collection. (Masami Hiramatsu)
Check kprobes blacklist when adding new events. (Masami Hiramatsu)
'perf record':
Teach 'perf record' about perf_event_attr.clockid (Peter Zijlstra)
Support recording running/enabled time (Andi Kleen)
'perf sched':
Improve the performance of 'perf sched replay' on high CPU core count machines (Yunlong Song)
'perf report' and 'perf top':
Allow annotating entries in callchains in the hists browser (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
Indicate which callchain entries are annotated in the
TUI hists browser (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
Add pid/tid filtering to 'report' and 'script' commands (David Ahern)
Consider PERF_RECORD_ events with cpumode == 0 in 'perf top', removing one
cause of long term memory usage buildup, i.e. not processing PERF_RECORD_EXIT
events (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
'perf stat':
Report unsupported events properly (Suzuki K. Poulose)
Output running time and run/enabled ratio in CSV mode (Andi Kleen)
'perf trace':
Handle legacy syscalls tracepoints (David Ahern, Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
Only insert blank duration bracket when tracing syscalls (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
Filter out the trace pid when no threads are specified (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
Dump stack on segfaults (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
No need to explicitely enable evsels for workload started from perf, let it
be enabled via perf_event_attr.enable_on_exec, removing some events that take
place in the 'perf trace' before a workload is really started by it.
(Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
Allow mixing with tracepoints and suppressing plain syscalls. (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
There's also been a ton of infrastructure work done, such as the
split-out of perf's build system into tools/build/ and other changes -
