437589a74b Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace
Pull user namespace changes from Eric Biederman:
 "This is a mostly modest set of changes to enable basic user namespace
  support.  This allows the code to code to compile with user namespaces
  enabled and removes the assumption there is only the initial user
  namespace.  Everything is converted except for the most complex of the
  filesystems: autofs4, 9p, afs, ceph, cifs, coda, fuse, gfs2, ncpfs,
  nfs, ocfs2 and xfs as those patches need a bit more review.

  The strategy is to push kuid_t and kgid_t values are far down into
  subsystems and filesystems as reasonable.  Leaving the make_kuid and
  from_kuid operations to happen at the edge of userspace, as the values
  come off the disk, and as the values come in from the network.
  Letting compile type incompatible compile errors (present when user
  namespaces are enabled) guide me to find the issues.

  The most tricky areas have been the places where we had an implicit
  union of uid and gid values and were storing them in an unsigned int.
  Those places were converted into explicit unions.  I made certain to
  handle those places with simple trivial patches.

  Out of that work I discovered we have generic interfaces for storing
  quota by projid.  I had never heard of the project identifiers before.
  Adding full user namespace support for project identifiers accounts
  for most of the code size growth in my git tree.

  Ultimately there will be work to relax privlige checks from
  "capable(FOO)" to "ns_capable(user_ns, FOO)" where it is safe allowing
  root in a user names to do those things that today we only forbid to
  non-root users because it will confuse suid root applications.

  While I was pushing kuid_t and kgid_t changes deep into the audit code
  I made a few other cleanups.  I capitalized on the fact we process
  netlink messages in the context of the message sender.  I removed
  usage of NETLINK_CRED, and started directly using current->tty.

  Some of these patches have also made it into maintainer trees, with no
  problems from identical code from different trees showing up in
  linux-next.

  After reading through all of this code I feel like I might be able to
  win a game of kernel trivial pursuit."

Fix up some fairly trivial conflicts in netfilter uid/git logging code.

8781915ad2 trace: Move trace event enable from fs_initcall to core_initcall
This patch splits trace event initialization in two stages:
 * ftrace enable
 * sysfs event entry creation

This allows to capture trace events from an earlier point
by using 'trace_event' kernel parameter and is important
to trace boot-up allocations.

Note that, in order to enable events at core_initcall,
it's necessary to move init_ftrace_syscalls() from
core_initcall to early_initcall.

5224c3a315 tracing: Add an option for disabling markers
In our application, we have trace markers spread through user-space.
We have markers in GL, X, etc. These are super handy for Chrome's
about:tracing feature (Chrome + system + kernel trace view), but
can be very distracting when you're trying to debug a kernel issue.

I normally, use "grep -v tracing_mark_write" but it would be nice
if I could just temporarily disable markers all together.

ea632e9f12 trace: Stop compiling in trace_clock unconditionally
Commit 56449f437 "tracing: make the trace clocks available generally",
in April 2009, made trace_clock available unconditionally, since
CONFIG_X86_DS used it too.

Commit faa4602e47 "x86, perf, bts, mm: Delete the never used BTS-ptrace code",
in March 2010, removed CONFIG_X86_DS, and now only CONFIG_RING_BUFFER (split
out from CONFIG_TRACING for general use) has a dependency on trace_clock. So,
only compile in trace_clock with CONFIG_RING_BUFFER or CONFIG_TRACING
enabled.

781d062482 ftrace: Do not test frame pointers if -mfentry is used

corrupted, which can happen with various options of gcc with mcount.
But this is not an issue with -mfentry as -mfentry does not need nor use
frame pointers for function graph tracing.

a2546fae01 ftrace: Add -mfentry to Makefile on function tracer
Thanks to Andi Kleen, gcc 4.6.0 now supports -mfentry for x86
(and hopefully soon for other archs). What this does is to have
the function profiler start at the beginning of the function
instead of after the stack is set up. As plain -pg (mcount) is
called after the stack is set up, and in some cases can have issues
with the function graph tracer. It also requires frame pointers to
be enabled.

The -mfentry now calls __fentry__ at the beginning of the function.
This allows for compiling without frame pointers and even has the
ability to access parameters if needed.

If the architecture and the compiler both support -mfentry then
use that instead.

3c18c10bde tracing: Fix wakeup_rt self test on virtual machines
The warkeup_rt self test used msleep() calls to wait for real time
tasks to wake up and run. On bare-metal hardware, this was enough as
the scheduler should let the RT task run way before the non-RT task
wakes up from the msleep(). If it did not, then that would mean the
scheduler was broken.

But when dealing with virtual machines, this is a different story.
If the RT task wakes up on a VCPU, it's up to the host to decide when
that task gets to schedule, which can be far behind the time that the
non-RT task wakes up. In this case, the test would fail incorrectly.

As we are not testing the scheduler, but instead the wake up tracing,
we can use completions to wait and not depend on scheduler timings
to see if events happen on time.

e6dab5ffab perf/trace: Add ability to set a target task for events
A few events are interesting not only for a current task.
For example, sched_stat_* events are interesting for a task
which wakes up. For this reason, it will be good if such
events will be delivered to a target task too.

Now a target task can be set by using __perf_task().

The original idea and a draft patch belongs to Peter Zijlstra.

I need these events for profiling sleep times. sched_switch is used for
getting callchains and sched_stat_* is used for getting time periods.
These events are combined in user space, then it can be analyzed by
perf tools.

not always add the necessary recursion protection. To protect from
function recursion due to tracing, if the callback ftrace_ops does not
specifically specify that it protects against recursion (by setting
the FTRACE_OPS_FL_RECURSION_SAFE flag), the list operation will be
called by the mcount trampoline which adds recursion protection.

If the flag is set, then the function will be called directly with no
extra protection.

Note, the list operation is called if more than one function callback
is registered, or if the arch does not support all of the function
tracer features.

 There are some patches in here outside of drivers/staging/, notibly the iio

 subsystem maintainers to be included in this tree.  The pstore and tracing
 patches are related, and are coming here as they replace one of the android
 staging drivers.
 
 Otherwise, the normal staging mess.  Lots of cleanups and a few new drivers
 (some iio drivers, and the large csr wireless driver abomination.)
 
 Note, you will get a merge issue with the following files:
 	drivers/staging/comedi/drivers/s626.h
 	drivers/staging/gdm72xx/netlink_k.c
 both of which should be trivial for you to handle.

08f6fba503 ftrace/x86: Add separate function to save regs
Add a way to have different functions calling different trampolines.
If a ftrace_ops wants regs saved on the return, then have only the
functions with ops registered to save regs. Functions registered by
other ops would not be affected, unless the functions overlap.

If one ftrace_ops registered functions A, B and C and another ops
registered fucntions to save regs on A, and D, then only functions
A and D would be saving regs. Function B and C would work as normal.
Although A is registered by both ops: normal and saves regs; this is fine
as saving the regs is needed to satisfy one of the ops that calls it
but the regs are ignored by the other ops function.

x86_64 implements the full regs saving, and i386 just passes a NULL
for regs to satisfy the ftrace_ops passing. Where an arch must supply
both regs and ftrace_ops parameters, even if regs is just NULL.

It is OK for an arch to pass NULL regs. All function trace users that
require regs passing must add the flag FTRACE_OPS_FL_SAVE_REGS when
registering the ftrace_ops. If the arch does not support saving regs
then the ftrace_ops will fail to register. The flag
FTRACE_OPS_FL_SAVE_REGS_IF_SUPPORTED may be set that will prevent the
ftrace_ops from failing to register. In this case, the handler may
either check if regs is not NULL or check if ARCH_SUPPORTS_FTRACE_SAVE_REGS.
If the arch supports passing regs it will set this macro and pass regs
for ops that request them. All other archs will just pass NULL.

a1e2e31d17 ftrace: Return pt_regs to function trace callback
Return as the 4th paramater to the function tracer callback the pt_regs.

Later patches that implement regs passing for the architectures will require
having the ftrace_ops set the SAVE_REGS flag, which will tell the arch
to take the time to pass a full set of pt_regs to the ftrace_ops callback
function. If the arch does not support it then it should pass NULL.

If an arch can pass full regs, then it should define:
 ARCH_SUPPORTS_FTRACE_SAVE_REGS to 1

ccf3672d53 ftrace: Consolidate arch dependent functions with 'list' function
As the function tracer starts to get more features, the support for
theses features will spread out throughout the different architectures
over time. These features boil down to what each arch does in the
mcount trampoline (the ftrace_caller).

Currently there's two features that are not the same throughout the
archs.

 1) Support to stop function tracing before the callback
 2) passing of the ftrace ops

Both of these require placing an indirect function to support the
features if the mcount trampoline does not.

On a side note, for all architectures, when more than one callback
is registered to the function tracer, an intermediate 'list' function
is called by the mcount trampoline to iterate through the callbacks
that are registered.

Instead of making a separate function for each of these features,
and requiring several indirect calls, just use the single 'list' function
as the intermediate, to handle all cases. If an arch does not support
the 'stop function tracing' or the passing of ftrace ops, just force
it to use the list function that will handle the features required.

This makes the code cleaner and simpler and removes a lot of
 #ifdefs in the code.

2f5f6ad939 ftrace: Pass ftrace_ops as third parameter to function trace callback
Currently the function trace callback receives only the ip and parent_ip
of the function that it traced. It would be more powerful to also return
the ops that registered the function as well. This allows the same function
to act differently depending on what ftrace_ops registered it.

The new_pages list head in the cpu_buffer is not initialized. When
adding pages to the ring buffer, if the memory allocation fails in
ring_buffer_resize, the clean up handler tries to free up the allocated
pages from all the cpu buffers. The panic is caused by referencing the
uninitialized new_pages list head.

Initializing the new_pages list head in rb_allocate_cpu_buffer fixes
this.

a5fb833172 ring-buffer: Fix uninitialized read_stamp
The ring buffer reader page is used to swap a page from the writable
ring buffer. If the writer happens to be on that page, it ends up on the
reader page, but will simply move off of it, back into the writable ring
buffer as writes are added.

The time stamp passed back to the readers is stored in the cpu_buffer per
CPU descriptor. This stamp is updated when a swap of the reader page takes
place, and it reads the current stamp from the page taken from the writable
ring buffer. Everytime a writer goes to a new page, it updates the time stamp
of that page.

The problem happens if a reader reads a page from an empty per CPU ring buffer.
If the buffer is empty, the swap still takes place, placing the writer at the
start of the reader page. If at a later time, a write happens, it updates the
page's time stamp and continues. But the problem is that the read_stamp does
not get updated, because the page was already swapped.

The solution to this was to not swap the page if the ring buffer happens to
be empty. This also removes the side effect that the writes on the reader
page will not get updated because the writer never gets back on the reader
page without a swap. That is, if a read happens on an empty buffer, but then
no reads happen for a while. If a swap took place, and the writer were to start
writing a lot of data (function tracer), it will start overflowing the ring buffer
and overwrite the older data. But because the writer never goes back onto the
reader page, the data left on the reader page never gets overwritten. This
causes the reader to see really old data, followed by a jump to newer data.

6d158a813e tracing: Remove NR_CPUS array from trace_iterator
Replace the NR_CPUS array of buffer_iter from the trace_iterator
with an allocated array. This will just create an array of
possible CPUS instead of the max number specified.

The use of NR_CPUS in that array caused allocation failures for
machines that were tight on memory. This did not cause any failures
to the system itself (no crashes), but caused unnecessary failures
for reading the trace files.

Added a helper function called 'trace_buffer_iter()' that returns
the buffer_iter item or NULL if it is not defined or the array was
not allocated. Some routines do not require the array
(tracing_open_pipe() for one).

7374e82771 tracing: Register the ftrace internal events during early boot
All trace events including ftrace internel events (like trace_printk
and function tracing), register functions that describe how to print
their output. The events may be recorded as soon as the ring buffer
is allocated, but they are just raw binary in the buffer. The mapping
of event ids to how to print them are held within a structure that
is registered on system boot.

If a crash happens in boot up before these functions are registered
then their output (via ftrace_dump_on_oops) will be useless:

Dumping ftrace buffer:
---------------------------------
   <...>-1       0.... 319705us : Unknown type 6
---------------------------------

This can be quite frustrating for a kernel developer trying to see
what is going wrong.

There's no reason to register them so late in the boot up process.
They can be registered by early_initcall().

Pull user-space probe instrumentation from Ingo Molnar:
 "The uprobes code originates from SystemTap and has been used for years
  in Fedora and RHEL kernels.  This version is much rewritten, reviews
  from PeterZ, Oleg and myself shaped the end result.

  This tree includes uprobes support in 'perf probe' - but SystemTap
  (and other tools) can take advantage of user probe points as well.

  Sample usage of uprobes via perf, for example to profile malloc()
  calls without modifying user-space binaries.

  First boot a new kernel with CONFIG_UPROBE_EVENT=y enabled.

  If you don't know which function you want to probe you can pick one
  from 'perf top' or can get a list all functions that can be probed
  within libc (binaries can be specified as well):

	$ perf probe -F -x /lib/libc.so.6

  To probe libc's malloc():

	$ perf probe -x /lib64/libc.so.6 malloc
	Added new event:
	probe_libc:malloc    (on 0x7eac0)

  You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:

	perf record -e probe_libc:malloc -aR sleep 1

  Make use of it to create a call graph (as the flat profile is going to
  look very boring):

	$ perf record -e probe_libc:malloc -gR make

  The core uprobes design is fairly straightforward: uprobes probe
  points register themselves at (inode:offset) addresses of
  libraries/binaries, after which all existing (or new) vmas that map
  that address will have a software breakpoint injected at that address.
  vmas are COW-ed to preserve original content.  The probe points are
  kept in an rbtree.

  If user-space executes the probed inode:offset instruction address
  then an event is generated which can be recovered from the regular
  perf event channels and mmap-ed ring-buffer.

  Multiple probes at the same address are supported, they create a
  dynamic callback list of event consumers.

  The basic model is further complicated by the XOL speedup: the
  original instruction that is probed is copied (in an architecture
  specific fashion) and executed out of line when the probe triggers.
  The XOL area is a single vma per process, with a fixed number of
  entries (which limits probe execution parallelism).

  The API: uprobes are installed/removed via
  /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/uprobe_events, the API is integrated to
  align with the kprobes interface as much as possible, but is separate
  to it.

  Injecting a probe point is privileged operation, which can be relaxed
  by setting perf_paranoid to -1.

  You can use multiple probes as well and mix them with kprobes and
  regular PMU events or tracepoints, when instrumenting a task."

Fix up trivial conflicts in mm/memory.c due to previous cleanup of
unmap_single_vma().
