The libnvdimm sub-system introduces, in addition to the libnvdimm-core,
4 drivers / enabling modules:
NFIT:
Instantiates an "nvdimm bus" with the core and registers memory devices
(NVDIMMs) enumerated by the ACPI 6.0 NFIT (NVDIMM Firmware Interface
table). After registering NVDIMMs the NFIT driver then registers
"region" devices. A libnvdimm-region defines an access mode and the
boundaries of persistent memory media. A region may span multiple
NVDIMMs that are interleaved by the hardware memory controller. In
turn, a libnvdimm-region can be carved into a "namespace" device and
bound to the PMEM or BLK driver which will attach a Linux block device
(disk) interface to the memory.
PMEM:
Initially merged in v4.1 this driver for contiguous spans of persistent
memory address ranges is re-worked to drive PMEM-namespaces emitted by
the libnvdimm-core. In this update the PMEM driver, on x86, gains the
ability to assert that writes to persistent memory have been flushed all
the way through the caches and buffers in the platform to persistent
media. See memcpy_to_pmem() and wmb_pmem().
BLK:
This new driver enables access to persistent memory media through "Block
Data Windows" as defined by the NFIT. The primary difference of this
driver to PMEM is that only a small window of persistent memory is
mapped into system address space at any given point in time. Per-NVDIMM
windows are reprogrammed at run time, per-I/O, to access different
portions of the media. BLK-mode, by definition, does not support DAX.
BTT:
This is a library, optionally consumed by either PMEM or BLK, that
converts a byte-accessible namespace into a disk with atomic sector
update semantics (prevents sector tearing on crash or power loss). The
sinister aspect of sector tearing is that most applications do not know
they have a atomic sector dependency. At least today's disk's rarely
ever tear sectors and if they do one almost certainly gets a CRC error
on access. NVDIMMs will always tear and always silently. Until an
application is audited to be robust in the presence of sector-tearing
the usage of BTT is recommended.

This patch series contains several clean ups and even a new trace clock
"monitonic raw". Also some enhancements to make the ring buffer even
faster. But the biggest and most noticeable change is the renaming of
the ftrace* files, structures and variables that have to deal with
trace events.
Over the years I've had several developers tell me about their confusion
with what ftrace is compared to events. Technically, "ftrace" is the
infrastructure to do the function hooks, which include tracing and also
helps with live kernel patching. But the trace events are a separate
entity altogether, and the files that affect the trace events should
not be named "ftrace". These include:
include/trace/ftrace.h -> include/trace/trace_events.h
include/linux/ftrace_event.h -> include/linux/trace_events.h
Also, functions that are specific for trace events have also been renamed:
ftrace_print_*() -> trace_print_*()
(un)register_ftrace_event() -> (un)register_trace_event()
ftrace_event_name() -> trace_event_name()
ftrace_trigger_soft_disabled()-> trace_trigger_soft_disabled()
ftrace_define_fields_##call() -> trace_define_fields_##call()
ftrace_get_offsets_##call() -> trace_get_offsets_##call()
Structures have been renamed:
ftrace_event_file -> trace_event_file
ftrace_event_{call,class} -> trace_event_{call,class}
ftrace_event_buffer -> trace_event_buffer
ftrace_subsystem_dir -> trace_subsystem_dir
ftrace_event_raw_##call -> trace_event_raw_##call
ftrace_event_data_offset_##call-> trace_event_data_offset_##call
ftrace_event_type_funcs_##call -> trace_event_type_funcs_##call
And a few various variables and flags have also been updated.
This has been sitting in linux-next for some time, and I have not heard
a single complaint about this rename breaking anything. Mostly because
these functions, variables and structures are mostly internal to the
tracing system and are seldom (if ever) used by anything external to that.

libnvdimm, nfit: handle unarmed dimms, mark namespaces read-only
Upon detection of an unarmed dimm in a region, arrange for descendant BTT, PMEM, or BLK instances to be read-only. A dimm is primarily marked "unarmed" via flags passed by platform firmware (NFIT). The flags in the NFIT memory device sub-structure indicate the state of the data on the nvdimm relative to its energy source or last "flush to persistence". For the most part there is nothing the driver can do but advertise the state of these flags in sysfs and emit a message if firmware indicates that the contents of the device may be corrupted. However, for the case of ACPI_NFIT_MEM_ARMED, the driver can arrange for the block devices incorporating that nvdimm to be marked read-only. This is a safe default as the data is still available and new writes are held off until the administrator either forces read-write mode, or the energy source becomes armed. A 'read_only' attribute is added to REGION devices to allow for overriding the default read-only policy of all descendant block devices. Signed-off-by: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com> |

tools/testing/nvdimm: libnvdimm unit test infrastructure
'libnvdimm' is the first driver sub-system in the kernel to implement mocking for unit test coverage. The nfit_test module gets built as an external module and arranges for external module replacements of nfit, libnvdimm, nd_pmem, and nd_blk. These replacements use the linker --wrap option to redirect calls to ioremap() + request_mem_region() to custom defined unit test resources. The end result is a fully functional nvdimm_bus, as far as userspace is concerned, but with the capability to perform otherwise destructive tests on emulated resources. Q: Why not use QEMU for this emulation? QEMU is not suitable for unit testing. QEMU's role is to faithfully emulate the platform. A unit test's role is to unfaithfully implement the platform with the goal of triggering bugs in the corners of the sub-system implementation. As bugs are discovered in platforms, or the sub-system itself, the unit tests are extended to backstop a fix with a reproducer unit test. Another problem with QEMU is that it would require coordination of 3 software projects instead of 2 (kernel + libndctl [1]) to maintain and execute the tests. The chances for bit rot and the difficulty of getting the tests running goes up non-linearly the more components involved. Q: Why submit this to the kernel tree instead of external modules in libndctl? Simple, to alleviate the same risk that out-of-tree external modules face. Updates to drivers/nvdimm/ can be immediately evaluated to see if they have any impact on tools/testing/nvdimm/. Q: What are the negative implications of merging this? It is a unique maintenance burden because the purpose of mocking an interface to enable a unit test is to purposefully short circuit the semantics of a routine to enable testing. For example __wrap_ioremap_cache() fakes the pmem driver into "ioremap()'ing" a test resource buffer allocated by dma_alloc_coherent(). The future maintenance burden hits when someone changes the semantics of ioremap_cache() and wonders what the implications are for the unit test.

Pull power management and ACPI updates from Rafael Wysocki:
"The rework of backlight interface selection API from Hans de Goede
stands out from the number of commits and the number of affected
places perspective. The cpufreq core fixes from Viresh Kumar are
quite significant too as far as the number of commits goes and because
they should reduce CPU online/offline overhead quite a bit in the
majority of cases.
From the new featues point of view, the ACPICA update (to upstream
revision 20150515) adding support for new ACPI 6 material to ACPICA is
the one that matters the most as some new significant features will be
based on it going forward. Also included is an update of the ACPI
device power management core to follow ACPI 6 (which in turn reflects
the Windows' device PM implementation), a PM core extension to support
wakeup interrupts in a more generic way and support for the ACPI _CCA
device configuration object.
The rest is mostly fixes and cleanups all over and some documentation
updates, including new DT bindings for Operating Performance Points.
There is one fix for a regression introduced in the 4.1 cycle, but it
adds quite a number of lines of code, it wasn't really ready before
Thursday and you were on vacation, so I refrained from pushing it on
the last minute for 4.1.

Pull timer updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"A rather largish update for everything time and timer related:
- Cache footprint optimizations for both hrtimers and timer wheel
- Lower the NOHZ impact on systems which have NOHZ or timer migration
disabled at runtime.
- Optimize run time overhead of hrtimer interrupt by making the clock
offset updates smarter
- hrtimer cleanups and removal of restrictions to tackle some
problems in sched/perf
- Some more leap second tweaks
- Another round of changes addressing the 2038 problem
- First step to change the internals of clock event devices by
introducing the necessary infrastructure
- Allow constant folding for usecs/msecs_to_jiffies()
- The usual pile of clockevent/clocksource driver updates
The hrtimer changes contain updates to sched, perf and x86 as they
depend on them plus changes all over the tree to cleanup API changes
and redundant code, which got copied all over the place. The y2038
changes touch s390 to remove the last non 2038 safe code related to

in this cycle that the topical separation of -tip broke down somewhat -
so the result is a more traditional architecture pull request,
collected into the 'x86/core' topic.
The topics were still maintained separately as far as possible, so
bisectability and conceptual separation should still be pretty good -
but there were a handful of merge points to avoid excessive
dependencies (and conflicts) that would have been poorly tested in the
end.
The next cycle will hopefully be much more quiet (or at least will
have fewer dependencies).
The main changes in this cycle were:
* x86/apic changes, with related IRQ core changes: (Jiang Liu, Thomas
Gleixner)
- This is the second and most intrusive part of changes to the x86
interrupt handling - full conversion to hierarchical interrupt
domains:
[IOAPIC domain] -----
|
[MSI domain] --------[Remapping domain] ----- [ Vector domain ]
| (optional) |
[HPET MSI domain] ----- |
|
[DMAR domain] -----------------------------
|
[Legacy domain] -----------------------------
This now reflects the actual hardware and allowed us to distangle
the domain specific code from the underlying parent domain, which
can be optional in the case of interrupt remapping. It's a clear
separation of functionality and removes quite some duct tape
constructs which plugged the remap code between ioapic/msi/hpet
and the vector management.
- Intel IOMMU IRQ remapping enhancements, to allow direct interrupt
injection into guests (Feng Wu)
* x86/asm changes:
- Tons of cleanups and small speedups, micro-optimizations. This
is in preparation to move a good chunk of the low level entry
code from assembly to C code (Denys Vlasenko, Andy Lutomirski,
Brian Gerst)
- Moved all system entry related code to a new home under
arch/x86/entry/ (Ingo Molnar)
- Removal of the fragile and ugly CFI dwarf debuginfo annotations.
Conversion to C will reintroduce many of them - but meanwhile
they are only getting in the way, and the upstream kernel does
not rely on them (Ingo Molnar)
- NOP handling refinements. (Borislav Petkov)
* x86/mm changes:
- Big PAT and MTRR rework: making the code more robust and
preparing to phase out exposing direct MTRR interfaces to drivers -
in favor of using PAT driven interfaces (Toshi Kani, Luis R
Rodriguez, Borislav Petkov)
- New ioremap_wt()/set_memory_wt() interfaces to support
Write-Through cached memory mappings. This is especially
important for good performance on NVDIMM hardware (Toshi Kani)
* x86/ras changes:
- Add support for deferred errors on AMD (Aravind Gopalakrishnan)
This is an important RAS feature which adds hardware support for
poisoned data. That means roughly that the hardware marks data
which it has detected as corrupted but wasn't able to correct, as
poisoned data and raises an APIC interrupt to signal that in the
form of a deferred error. It is the OS's responsibility then to
take proper recovery action and thus prolonge system lifetime as
far as possible.
- Add support for Intel "Local MCE"s: upcoming CPUs will support
CPU-local MCE interrupts, as opposed to the traditional system-
wide broadcasted MCE interrupts (Ashok Raj)
- Misc cleanups (Borislav Petkov)
* x86/platform changes:
- Intel Atom SoC updates
... and lots of other cleanups, fixlets and other changes - see the
shortlog and the Git log for details"

Merge branch 'perf-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull perf updates from Ingo Molnar:
"Kernel side changes mostly consist of work on x86 PMU drivers:
- x86 Intel PT (hardware CPU tracer) improvements (Alexander
Shishkin)
- x86 Intel CQM (cache quality monitoring) improvements (Thomas
Gleixner)
- x86 Intel PEBSv3 support (Peter Zijlstra)
- x86 Intel PEBS interrupt batching support for lower overhead
sampling (Zheng Yan, Kan Liang)
- x86 PMU scheduler fixes and improvements (Peter Zijlstra)
There's too many tooling improvements to list them all - here are a
few select highlights:
'perf bench':
- Introduce new 'perf bench futex' benchmark: 'wake-parallel', to
measure parallel waker threads generating contention for kernel
locks (hb->lock). (Davidlohr Bueso)
'perf top', 'perf report':
- Allow disabling/enabling events dynamicaly in 'perf top':
a 'perf top' session can instantly become a 'perf report'
one, i.e. going from dynamic analysis to a static one,
returning to a dynamic one is possible, to toogle the
modes, just press 'f' to 'freeze/unfreeze' the sampling. (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
- Make Ctrl-C stop processing on TUI, allowing interrupting the load of big
perf.data files (Namhyung Kim)
'perf probe': (Masami Hiramatsu)
- Support glob wildcards for function name
- Support $params special probe argument: Collect all function arguments
- Make --line checks validate C-style function name.
- Add --no-inlines option to avoid searching inline functions
- Greatly speed up 'perf probe --list' by caching debuginfo.
- Improve --filter support for 'perf probe', allowing using its arguments
on other commands, as --add, --del, etc.
'perf sched':
- Add option in 'perf sched' to merge like comms to lat output (Josef Bacik)
Plus tons of infrastructure work - in particular preparation for
upcoming threaded perf report support, but also lots of other work -
and fixes and other improvements. See (much) more details in the
shortlog and in the git log"

perf tools: Ensure thread-stack is flushed
The thread-stack represents a thread's current stack. When a thread exits there can still be many functions on the stack e.g. exit() can be called many levels deep, so all the callers will never return. To get that information output, the thread-stack must be flushed. Previously it was assumed the thread-stack would be flushed when the struct thread was deleted. With thread ref-counting it is no longer clear when that will be, if ever. So instead explicitly flush all the thread-stacks at the end of a session.

powerpc/tm: Abort syscalls in active transactions
This patch changes the syscall handler to doom (tabort) active transactions when a syscall is made and return very early without performing the syscall and keeping side effects to a minimum (no CPU accounting or system call tracing is performed). Also included is a new HWCAP2 bit, PPC_FEATURE2_HTM_NOSC, to indicate this behaviour to userspace. Currently, the system call instruction automatically suspends an active transaction which causes side effects to persist when an active transaction fails. This does change the kernel's behaviour, but in a way that was documented as unsupported. It doesn't reduce functionality as syscalls will still be performed after tsuspend; it just requires that the transaction be explicitly suspended. It also provides a consistent interface and makes the behaviour of user code substantially the same across powerpc and platforms that do not support suspended transactions (e.g. x86 and s390). Performance measurements using http://ozlabs.org/~anton/junkcode/null_syscall.c indicate the cost of a normal (non-aborted) system call increases by about 0.25%.

perf top: Allow disabling/enabling events dynamicly
Now it is possible to press CTRL+z at anytime and that will disable the
events being monitored, essentially turning 'top' into 'report', with
pressing CTRL+z again making it enable the events again, returning to
the 'top' behaviour, i.e. dynamic + decaying of older samples.
One may want, for instance, play with:
-d, --delay <n> number of seconds to delay between refreshes
and:
-z, --zero zero history across updates
Plus CTRL+z to see only the events since last zeroing, etc.

Some/all fds associated with the perf-events (tracepoints) go into a POLLHUP/ POLLERR state and the mmap region associated with those events are unmapped (in perf_evlist__filter_pollfd()). But we go back and do a perf_evlist__mmap_read() which assumes that the mmaps are still valid and we hit the crash. If the mapping for an event is released, its refcnt is 0 (and ->base is NULL), so ensure we have non-zero refcount before accessing the map. Note that perf-record has a similar logic but unlike perf-trace, the record__mmap_read_all() checks the evlist->mmap[i].base before accessing the map.

perf probe: Speed up perf probe --list by caching debuginfo
Speed up the "perf probe --list" by caching the last used debuginfo. perf probe --list always open and load debuginfo for each entry of probe list. This takes very a long time. E.g. with vfs_* events (total 96 probes) [root@localhost perf]# time ./perf probe -l &> /dev/null real 0m25.376s user 0m24.381s sys 0m1.012s To solve this issue, this adds debuginfo_cache to cache the last used debuginfo on memory. With this fix, the perf-probe --list significantly improves its speed. [root@localhost perf]# time ./perf probe -l &> /dev/null real 0m0.161s user 0m0.136s sys 0m0.025s Signed-off-by: Masami Hiramatsu <masami.hiramatsu.pt@hitachi.com> Tested-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: David Ahern <dsahern@gmail.com> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@redhat.com> Cc: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Cc: Naohiro Aota <naota@elisp.net> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20150617145854.19715.15314.stgit@localhost.localdomain Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> |

perf probe: Show usage even if the last event is skipped
When the last part of converted events are blacklisted or out-of-text,
those are skipped and perf probe doesn't show usage examples. This
fixes it to show the example even if the last part of event list is
skipped.
E.g. without this patch, events are added, but suddenly end:
# perf probe vfs_*
vfs_caches_init_early is out of .text, skip it.
vfs_caches_init is out of .text, skip it.
Added new events:
probe:vfs_fallocate (on vfs_*)
probe:vfs_open (on vfs_*)
...
probe:vfs_dentry_acceptable (on vfs_*)
probe:vfs_load_quota_inode (on vfs_*)
#
With this fix:
# perf probe vfs_*
vfs_caches_init_early is out of .text, skip it.
vfs_caches_init is out of .text, skip it.
Added new events:
probe:vfs_fallocate (on vfs_*)
...
probe:vfs_load_quota_inode (on vfs_*)
You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:
perf record -e probe:vfs_load_quota_inode -aR sleep 1
Note that this can be reproduced ONLY IF the vfs_caches_init* is the
last part of matched symbol list. I've checked this happens on
"3.19.0-generic #18-Ubuntu" kernel binary.

perf tools: Fix a problem when opening old perf.data with different byte order
Following error occurs when trying to use 'perf report' on x86_64 to cross analysis a perf.data generated by an old perf on a big-endian machine: # perf report *** Error in `/home/w00229757/perf': free(): invalid next size (fast): 0x00000000032c99f0 *** ======= Backtrace: ========= /lib64/libc.so.6(+0x6eeef)[0x7ff6ff7e2eef] /lib64/libc.so.6(+0x78cae)[0x7ff6ff7eccae] /lib64/libc.so.6(+0x79987)[0x7ff6ff7ed987] /path/to/perf[0x4ac734] /path/to/perf[0x4ac829] /path/to/perf(perf_header__process_sections+0x129)[0x4ad2c9] /path/to/perf(perf_session__read_header+0x2e1)[0x4ad9e1] /path/to/perf(perf_session__new+0x168)[0x4bd458] /path/to/perf(cmd_report+0xfa0)[0x43eb70] /path/to/perf[0x47adc3] /path/to/perf(main+0x5f6)[0x42fd06] /lib64/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xf5)[0x7ff6ff795bd5] /path/to/perf[0x42fe35] ======= Memory map: ======== [SNIP] The bug is in perf_event__attr_swap(). It swaps all fields in 'struct perf_event_attr' without checking whether the swapped field exist or not. In addition, in read_event_desc() allocs memory for attr according to size read from perf.data. Therefore, if the perf.data is collected by an old perf (without aux_watermark, for example), when perf_event__attr_swap() swaping attr->aux_watermark it destroy malloc's metadata. This patch introduces boundary checking in perf_event__attr_swap(). It adds macros bswap_field_64 and bswap_field_32 into perf_event__attr_swap() to make it only swap exist fields.

perf probe: Fix to return error if no probe is added
Fix perf probe to return an error if no probe is added due to the given
probe point being on the blacklist.
To fix this problem, this moves the blacklist checking to right after
finding symbols/probe-points and marks them as skipped.
If all the symbols are skipped, "perf probe" returns an error as it
fails to find the corresponding probe address.
E.g. currently if a blacklisted probe is given:
# perf probe do_trap && echo 'succeed'
Added new event:
Warning: Skipped probing on blacklisted function: sync_regs
succeed
No! It must fail! With this patch, it correctly fails:
# perf probe do_trap && echo 'succeed'
do_trap is blacklisted function, skip it.
Probe point 'do_trap' not found.
Error: Failed to add events.
