Pull perf updates from Thomas Gleixner:
 "Mostly updates to the perf tool plus two fixes to the kernel core code:

   - Handle tracepoint filters correctly for inherited events (Peter
     Zijlstra)

   - Prevent a deadlock in perf_lock_task_context (Paul McKenney)

   - Add missing newlines to some pr_err() calls (Arnaldo Carvalho de
     Melo)

   - Print full source file paths when using 'perf annotate --print-line
     --full-paths' (Michael Petlan)

   - Fix 'perf probe -d' when just one out of uprobes and kprobes is
     enabled (Wang Nan)

   - Add compiler.h to list.h to fix 'make perf-tar-src-pkg' generated
     tarballs, i.e. out of tree building (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

   - Add the llvm-src-base.c and llvm-src-kbuild.c files, generated by
     the 'perf test' LLVM entries, when running it in-tree, to
     .gitignore (Yunlong Song)

   - libbpf error reporting improvements, using a strerror interface to
     more precisely tell the user about problems with the provided
     scriptlet, be it in C or as a ready made object file (Wang Nan)

   - Do not be case sensitive when searching for matching 'perf test'
     entries (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

   - Inform the user about objdump failures in 'perf annotate' (Andi
     Kleen)

   - Improve the LLVM 'perf test' entry, introduce a new ones for BPF
     and kbuild tests to check the environment used by clang to compile
     .c scriptlets (Wang Nan)"

0e97606425 This contains three more clean up patches.
One patch is needed to make tracing work without debugfs now that tracing
 uses its own tracefs.
 
 The second is removing an unused variable.
 
 The third is fixing a warning about unused variables when MAX_TRACER is
 not configured. Note, this warning shows up in gcc 6.0, but does not show
 up in gcc 4.9, as it seems that gcc does not complain about constants
 not being used.

3370b69eb0 Four changes:
- x86: work around two nasty cases where a benign exception occurs while
 another is being delivered.  The endless stream of exceptions causes an
 infinite loop in the processor, which not even NMIs or SMIs can interrupt;
 in the virt case, there is no possibility to exit to the host either.
 
 - x86: support for Skylake per-guest TSC rate.  Long supported by AMD,
 the patches mostly move things from there to common arch/x86/kvm/ code.
 
 - generic: remove local_irq_save/restore from the guest entry and exit
 paths when context tracking is enabled.  The patches are a few months
 old, but we discussed them again at kernel summit.  Andy will pick up
 from here and, in 4.5, try to remove it from the user entry/exit paths.
 
 - PPC: Two bug fixes, see merge commit 370289756b for details.

a31d82d85a bpf_trace: Make dependent on PERF_EVENTS
Arnd Bergmann reported:

  In my ARM randconfig tests, I'm getting a build error for
  newly added code in bpf_perf_event_read and bpf_perf_event_output
  whenever CONFIG_PERF_EVENTS is disabled:

  kernel/trace/bpf_trace.c: In function 'bpf_perf_event_read':
  kernel/trace/bpf_trace.c:203:11: error: 'struct perf_event' has no member named 'oncpu'
  if (event->oncpu != smp_processor_id() ||
           ^
  kernel/trace/bpf_trace.c:204:11: error: 'struct perf_event' has no member named 'pmu'
        event->pmu->count)

  This can happen when UPROBE_EVENT is enabled but KPROBE_EVENT
  is disabled. I'm not sure if that is a configuration we care
  about, otherwise we could prevent this case from occuring by
  adding Kconfig dependencies.

Looking at this further, it's really that UPROBE_EVENT enables PERF_EVENTS.
By just having BPF_EVENTS depend on PERF_EVENTS, then all is fine.

Merge tag 'libnvdimm-for-4.4' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm

Pull libnvdimm updates from Dan Williams:
 "Outside of the new ACPI-NFIT hot-add support this pull request is more
  notable for what it does not contain, than what it does.  There were a
  handful of development topics this cycle, dax get_user_pages, dax
  fsync, and raw block dax, that need more more iteration and will wait
  for 4.5.

  The patches to make devm and the pmem driver NUMA aware have been in
  -next for several weeks.  The hot-add support has not, but is
  contained to the NFIT driver and is passing unit tests.  The coredump
  support is straightforward and was looked over by Jeff.  All of it has
  received a 0day build success notification across 107 configs.

  Summary:

   - Add support for the ACPI 6.0 NFIT hot add mechanism to process
     updates of the NFIT at runtime.

4717f13373 genirq/PM: Restore system wake up from chained interrupts
Commit e509bd7da1 ("genirq: Allow migration of chained interrupts
by installing default action") breaks PCS wake up IRQ behaviour on
TI OMAP based platforms (dra7-evm).

TI OMAP IRQ wake up configuration:
GIC-irqchip->PCM_IRQ
  |- omap_prcm_register_chain_handler
     |- PRCM-irqchip -> PRCM_IO_IRQ
        |- pcs_irq_chain_handler
           |- pinctrl-irqchip -> PCS_uart1_wakeup_irq

This happens because IRQ PM code (irq/pm.c) is expected to ignore
chained interrupts by default:
  static bool suspend_device_irq(struct irq_desc *desc)
  {
	if (!desc->action || desc->no_suspend_depth)
		return false;
 - it's expected !desc->action = true for chained interrupts;

but, after above change, all chained interrupt descriptors will
have default action handler installed - chained_action.
As result, chained interrupts will be silently disabled during system
suspend.

Hence, fix it by introducing helper function irq_desc_is_chained() and
use it in suspend_device_irq() for chained interrupts identification
and skip them, once detected.

Fixes: e509bd7da1 ("genirq: Allow migration of chained interrupts..")

d0e536d893 context_tracking: avoid irq_save/irq_restore on guest entry and exit
guest_enter and guest_exit must be called with interrupts disabled,
since they take the vtime_seqlock with write_seq{lock,unlock}.
Therefore, it is not necessary to check for exceptions, nor to
save/restore the IRQ state, when context tracking functions are
called by guest_enter and guest_exit.

Split the body of context_tracking_entry and context_tracking_exit
out to __-prefixed functions, and use them from KVM.

Rik van Riel has measured this to speed up a tight vmentry/vmexit
loop by about 2%.

25b3e5a334 sched/numa: Fix math underflow in task_tick_numa()
The NUMA balancing code implements delays in scanning by
advancing curr->node_stamp beyond curr->se.sum_exec_runtime.

With unsigned math, that creates an underflow, which results
in task_numa_work being queued all the time, even when we
don't want to.

Avoiding the math underflow makes it possible to reduce CPU
overhead in the NUMA balancing code.

b71b437eed perf: Fix inherited events vs. tracepoint filters
Arnaldo reported that tracepoint filters seem to misbehave (ie. not
apply) on inherited events.

The fix is obvious; filters are only set on the actual (parent)
event, use the normal pattern of using this parent event for filters.
This is safe because each child event has a reference to it.

2fd5907775 perf: Disable IRQs across RCU RS CS that acquires scheduler lock
The perf_lock_task_context() function disables preemption across its
RCU read-side critical section because that critical section acquires
a scheduler lock.  If there was a preemption during that RCU read-side
critical section, the rcu_read_unlock() could attempt to acquire scheduler
locks, resulting in deadlock.

However, recent optimizations to expedited grace periods mean that IPI
handlers that execute during preemptible RCU read-side critical sections
can now cause the subsequent rcu_read_unlock() to acquire scheduler locks.
Disabling preemption does nothiing to prevent these IPI handlers from
executing, so these optimizations introduced a deadlock.  In theory,
this deadlock could be avoided by pulling all wakeups and printk()s out
from rnp->lock critical sections, but in practice this would re-introduce
some RCU CPU stall warning bugs.

Given that acquiring scheduler locks entails disabling interrupts, these
deadlocks can be avoided by disabling interrupts (instead of disabling
preemption) across any RCU read-side critical that acquires scheduler
locks and holds them across the rcu_read_unlock().  This commit therefore
makes this change for perf_lock_task_context().

03e88ae6b3 tracing: Remove unused ftrace_cpu_disabled per cpu variable
Since the ring buffer is lockless, there is no need to disable ftrace on
CPU. And no one doing so: after commit 68179686ac ("tracing: Remove
ftrace_disable/enable_cpu()") ftrace_cpu_disabled stays the same after
initialization, nothing changes it.
ftrace_cpu_disabled shouldn't be used by any external module since it
disables only function and graph_function tracers but not any other
tracer.

08d78658f3 panic: release stale console lock to always get the logbuf printed out
In some cases we may end up killing the CPU holding the console lock
while still having valuable data in logbuf. E.g. I'm observing the
following:

- A crash is happening on one CPU and console_unlock() is being called on
  some other.

- console_unlock() tries to print out the buffer before releasing the lock
  and on slow console it takes time.

- in the meanwhile crashing CPU does lots of printk()-s with valuable data
  (which go to the logbuf) and sends IPIs to all other CPUs.

- console_unlock() finishes printing previous chunk and enables interrupts
  before trying to print out the rest, the CPU catches the IPI and never
  releases console lock.

This is not the only possible case: in VT/fb subsystems we have many other
console_lock()/console_unlock() users.  Non-masked interrupts (or
receiving NMI in case of extreme slowness) will have the same result.
Getting the whole console buffer printed out on crash should be top
priority.

[  140.291534] kexec: sanity_check_segment_list: hello, world

Ideally, the format of output message:

5fa534c987 coredump: ensure all coredumping tasks have SIGNAL_GROUP_COREDUMP
task_will_free_mem() is wrong in many ways, and in particular the
SIGNAL_GROUP_COREDUMP check is not reliable: a task can participate in the
coredumping without SIGNAL_GROUP_COREDUMP bit set.

change zap_threads() paths to always set SIGNAL_GROUP_COREDUMP even if
other CLONE_VM processes can't react to SIGKILL.  Fortunately, at least
oom-kill case if fine; it kills all tasks sharing the same mm, so it
should also kill the process which actually dumps the core.

The change in prepare_signal() is not strictly necessary, it just ensures
that the patch does not bring another subtle behavioural change.  But it
reminds us that this SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT/COREDUMP case needs more changes.

2e01fabe67 signals: kill block_all_signals() and unblock_all_signals()
It is hardly possible to enumerate all problems with block_all_signals()
and unblock_all_signals().  Just for example,

1. block_all_signals(SIGSTOP/etc) simply can't help if the caller is
   multithreaded. Another thread can dequeue the signal and force the
   group stop.

2. Even is the caller is single-threaded, it will "stop" anyway. It
   will not sleep, but it will spin in kernel space until SIGCONT or
   SIGKILL.

And a lot more. In short, this interface doesn't work at all, at least
the last 10+ years.

  Yeah the only times I played around with the DRM_LOCK stuff was when

3824657c52 printk: prevent userland from spoofing kernel messages
The following statement of ABI/testing/dev-kmsg is not quite right:

   It is not possible to inject messages from userspace with the
   facility number LOG_KERN (0), to make sure that the origin of the
   messages can always be reliably determined.

Userland actually can inject messages with a facility of 0 by abusing the
fact that the facility is stored in a u8 data type.  By using a facility
which is a multiple of 256 the assignment of msg->facility in log_store()
implicitly truncates it to 0, i.e.  LOG_KERN, allowing users of /dev/kmsg
to spoof kernel messages as shown below:

The following call...
   # printf '<%d>Kernel panic - not syncing: beer empty\n' 0 >/dev/kmsg
...leads to the following log entry (dmesg -x | tail -n 1):
   user  :emerg : [   66.137758] Kernel panic - not syncing: beer empty

However, this call...
   # printf '<%d>Kernel panic - not syncing: beer empty\n' 0x800 >/dev/kmsg
...leads to the slightly different log entry (note the kernel facility):
   kern  :emerg : [   74.177343] Kernel panic - not syncing: beer empty

Fix that by limiting the user provided facility to 8 bit right from the
beginning and catch the truncation early.

71baba4b92 mm, page_alloc: rename __GFP_WAIT to __GFP_RECLAIM
__GFP_WAIT was used to signal that the caller was in atomic context and
could not sleep.  Now it is possible to distinguish between true atomic
context and callers that are not willing to sleep.  The latter should
clear __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM so kswapd will still wake.  As clearing
__GFP_WAIT behaves differently, there is a risk that people will clear the
wrong flags.  This patch renames __GFP_WAIT to __GFP_RECLAIM to clearly
indicate what it does -- setting it allows all reclaim activity, clearing
them prevents it.

d0164adc89 mm, page_alloc: distinguish between being unable to sleep, unwilling to sleep and avoiding waking kswapd
__GFP_WAIT has been used to identify atomic context in callers that hold
spinlocks or are in interrupts.  They are expected to be high priority and
have access one of two watermarks lower than "min" which can be referred
to as the "atomic reserve".  __GFP_HIGH users get access to the first
lower watermark and can be called the "high priority reserve".

Over time, callers had a requirement to not block when fallback options
were available.  Some have abused __GFP_WAIT leading to a situation where
an optimisitic allocation with a fallback option can access atomic
reserves.

This patch uses __GFP_ATOMIC to identify callers that are truely atomic,
cannot sleep and have no alternative.  High priority users continue to use
__GFP_HIGH.  __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM identifies callers that can sleep and
are willing to enter direct reclaim.  __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM to identify
callers that want to wake kswapd for background reclaim.  __GFP_WAIT is
redefined as a caller that is willing to enter direct reclaim and wake
kswapd for background reclaim.

This patch then converts a number of sites

o __GFP_ATOMIC is used by callers that are high priority and have memory
  pools for those requests. GFP_ATOMIC uses this flag.

o Callers that have a limited mempool to guarantee forward progress clear
  __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM but keep __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM. bio allocations fall
  into this category where kswapd will still be woken but atomic reserves
  are not used as there is a one-entry mempool to guarantee progress.

o Callers that are checking if they are non-blocking should use the
  helper gfpflags_allow_blocking() where possible. This is because
  checking for __GFP_WAIT as was done historically now can trigger false
  positives. Some exceptions like dm-crypt.c exist where the code intent
  is clearer if __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM is used instead of the helper due to
  flag manipulations.

o Callers that built their own GFP flags instead of starting with GFP_KERNEL
  and friends now also need to specify __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM.

The first key hazard to watch out for is callers that removed __GFP_WAIT
and was depending on access to atomic reserves for inconspicuous reasons.
In some cases it may be appropriate for them to use __GFP_HIGH.

The second key hazard is callers that assembled their own combination of
GFP flags instead of starting with something like GFP_KERNEL.  They may
now wish to specify __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM.  It's almost certainly harmless
if it's missed in most cases as other activity will wake kswapd.

22402cd0af Most of the changes are clean ups and small fixes. Some of them have
stable tags to them. I searched through my INBOX just as the merge window
 opened and found lots of patches to pull. I ran them through all my tests
 and they were in linux-next for a few days.
 
 Features added this release:
 ----------------------------
 
  o Module globbing. You can now filter function tracing to several
    modules. # echo '*:mod:*snd*' > set_ftrace_filter (Dmitry Safonov)
 
  o Tracer specific options are now visible even when the tracer is not
    active. It was rather annoying that you can only see and modify tracer
    options after enabling the tracer. Now they are in the options/ directory
    even when the tracer is not active. Although they are still only visible
    when the tracer is active in the trace_options file.
 
  o Trace options are now per instance (although some of the tracer specific
    options are global)
 
  o New tracefs file: set_event_pid. If any pid is added to this file, then
    all events in the instance will filter out events that are not part of
    this pid. sched_switch and sched_wakeup events handle next and the wakee
    pids.

Merge tag 'trace-v4.4' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace

Pull tracking updates from Steven Rostedt:
 "Most of the changes are clean ups and small fixes.  Some of them have
  stable tags to them.  I searched through my INBOX just as the merge
  window opened and found lots of patches to pull.  I ran them through
  all my tests and they were in linux-next for a few days.

  Features added this release:
  ----------------------------

   - Module globbing.  You can now filter function tracing to several
     modules.  # echo '*:mod:*snd*' > set_ftrace_filter (Dmitry Safonov)

   - Tracer specific options are now visible even when the tracer is not
     active.  It was rather annoying that you can only see and modify
     tracer options after enabling the tracer.  Now they are in the
     options/ directory even when the tracer is not active.  Although
     they are still only visible when the tracer is active in the
     trace_options file.

   - Trace options are now per instance (although some of the tracer
     specific options are global)

   - New tracefs file: set_event_pid.  If any pid is added to this file,
     then all events in the instance will filter out events that are not
     part of this pid.  sched_switch and sched_wakeup events handle next
     and the wakee pids"

8b1291994d tracing: Make tracing work when debugfs is not configured in
Currently tracing_init_dentry() returns -ENODEV when debugfs is not
configured in, which causes tracefs not populated with tracing files and
directories, so we will get an empty directory even after we manually
mount tracefs.

We can make tracing_init_dentry() return NULL if debugfs is not
configured in and can manually mount tracefs. But return -ENODEV
if debugfs is configured in but not initialized or failed to create
automount point as that would break backward compatibility with older
tools.

de60f5f10c mm: introduce VM_LOCKONFAULT
The cost of faulting in all memory to be locked can be very high when
working with large mappings.  If only portions of the mapping will be used
this can incur a high penalty for locking.

For the example of a large file, this is the usage pattern for a large
statical language model (probably applies to other statical or graphical
models as well).  For the security example, any application transacting in
data that cannot be swapped out (credit card data, medical records, etc).

This patch introduces the ability to request that pages are not
pre-faulted, but are placed on the unevictable LRU when they are finally
faulted in.  The VM_LOCKONFAULT flag will be used together with VM_LOCKED
and has no effect when set without VM_LOCKED.  Setting the VM_LOCKONFAULT
flag for a VMA will cause pages faulted into that VMA to be added to the
unevictable LRU when they are faulted or if they are already present, but
will not cause any missing pages to be faulted in.

Exposing this new lock state means that we cannot overload the meaning of
the FOLL_POPULATE flag any longer.  Prior to this patch it was used to
mean that the VMA for a fault was locked.  This means we need the new
FOLL_MLOCK flag to communicate the locked state of a VMA.  FOLL_POPULATE
will now only control if the VMA should be populated and in the case of
VM_LOCKONFAULT, it will not be set.

da39da3a54 mm, oom: remove task_lock protecting comm printing
The oom killer takes task_lock() in a couple of places solely to protect
printing the task's comm.

A process's comm, including current's comm, may change due to
/proc/pid/comm or PR_SET_NAME.

The comm will always be NULL-terminated, so the worst race scenario would
only be during update.  We can tolerate a comm being printed that is in
the middle of an update to avoid taking the lock.

Other locations in the kernel have already dropped task_lock() when
printing comm, so this is consistent.

39d2da2161 kernel/watchdog.c: fix race between proc_watchdog_thresh() and watchdog_timer_fn()
Theoretically it is possible that the watchdog timer expires right at the
time when a user sets 'watchdog_thresh' to zero (note: this disables the
lockup detectors).  In this scenario, the is_softlockup() function - which
is called by the timer - could produce a false positive.

Fix this by checking the current value of 'watchdog_thresh'.

8614ddef82 kernel/watchdog.c: avoid races between /proc handlers and CPU hotplug
The handler functions for watchdog parameters in /proc/sys/kernel do not
protect themselves against races with CPU hotplug.  Hence, theoretically
it is possible that a new watchdog thread is started on a hotplugged CPU
while a parameter is being modified, and the thread could thus use a
parameter value that is 'in transition'.

For example, if 'watchdog_thresh' is being set to zero (note: this
disables the lockup detectors) the thread would erroneously use the value
zero as the sample period.

To avoid such races and to keep the /proc handler code consistent,
call
     {get|put}_online_cpus() in proc_watchdog_common()
     {get|put}_online_cpus() in proc_watchdog_thresh()
     {get|put}_online_cpus() in proc_watchdog_cpumask()

ee89e71eb0 kernel/watchdog.c: avoid race between lockup detector suspend/resume and CPU hotplug
The lockup detector suspend/resume interface that was introduced by
commit 8c073d27d7 ("watchdog: introduce watchdog_suspend() and
watchdog_resume()") does not protect itself against races with CPU
hotplug.  Hence, theoretically it is possible that a new watchdog thread
is started on a hotplugged CPU while the lockup detector is suspended,
and the thread could thus interfere unexpectedly with the code that
requested to suspend the lockup detector.

Avoid the race by calling

  get_online_cpus() in lockup_detector_suspend()
  put_online_cpus() in lockup_detector_resume()

55537871ef kernel/watchdog.c: perform all-CPU backtrace in case of hard lockup
In many cases of hardlockup reports, it's actually not possible to know
why it triggered, because the CPU that got stuck is usually waiting on a
resource (with IRQs disabled) in posession of some other CPU is holding.

IOW, we are often looking at the stacktrace of the victim and not the
actual offender.

Introduce sysctl / cmdline parameter that makes it possible to have
hardlockup detector perform all-CPU backtrace.

ee7fed5405 watchdog: do not unpark threads in watchdog_park_threads() on error
If kthread_park() returns an error, watchdog_park_threads() should not
blindly 'roll back' the already parked threads to the unparked state.
Instead leave it up to the callers to handle such errors appropriately in
their context.  For example, it is redundant to unpark the threads if the
lockup detectors will soon be disabled by the callers anyway.

d283c640ce watchdog: fix error handling in proc_watchdog_thresh()
The original watchdog_park_threads() function that was introduced by
commit 81a4beef91 ("watchdog: introduce watchdog_park_threads() and
watchdog_unpark_threads()") takes a very simple approach to handle
errors returned by kthread_park(): It attempts to roll back all watchdog
threads to the unparked state.  However, this may be undesired behaviour
from the perspective of the caller which may want to handle errors as
appropriate in its specific context.  Currently, there are two possible
call chains:

- watchdog suspend/resume interface

    lockup_detector_suspend
      watchdog_park_threads

- write to parameters in /proc/sys/kernel

    proc_watchdog_update
      watchdog_enable_all_cpus
        update_watchdog_all_cpus
          watchdog_park_threads

Instead of 'blindly' attempting to unpark the watchdog threads if a
kthread_park() call fails, the new approach is to disable the lockup
detectors in the above call chains.  Failure becomes visible to the user
as follows:

- error messages from lockup_detector_suspend()
                   or watchdog_enable_all_cpus()

- the state that can be read from /proc/sys/kernel/watchdog_enabled

- the 'write' system call in the latter call chain returns an error

I did not experience kthread_park() failures in practice, I used some
instrumentation to fake error returns from kthread_park() in order to test
the patches.

This patch (of 5):

Restore the previous value of watchdog_thresh _and_ sample_period if
proc_watchdog_update() returns an error.  The variables must be consistent
to avoid false positives of the lockup detectors.
