Two x86 headers got modified in this merge window:
arch/x86/include/asm/cpufeatures.h
arch/x86/include/asm/disabled-features.h
To support x86 UMIP feature, to add new AVX instructions, plus cleanups.
None of those changes have an effect on tooling, so do a plain copy.

Test case 21 (Number of exit events of a simple workload) fails on
s390x. The reason is the invalid sample frequency supplied for this
test. On s390x the minimum sample frequency is much higher (see output
of /proc/service_levels).
Supply a save sample frequency value for s390x to fix this. The value
will be adjusted by the s390x CPUMF frequency convertion function to a
value well below the sysctl kernel.perf_event_max_sample_rate value.

The 'perf test' case "probe libc's inet_pton & backtrace it with ping"
fails on s390x. The reason is the 'realpath /lib64/ld*.so.* | uniq' line
which returns 2 libraries:
root@s35lp76 shell]# realpath /lib64/ld*.so.* | uniq
/usr/lib64/ld-2.26.so
/usr/lib64/ld_pre_smc.so.1.0.1
[root@s35lp76 shell]
This output makes the "perf probe" command lines invalid.
Use ldd tool to find out the libraries required by "bash" and check if
symbol "inet_pton" is part of the "libc" library. Some distros do not
have a /lib64 directory.
I have also added a check for the existence of an IPv6 network interface
before it is being used.
Committer changes:
We can't really use ldd for libc, as in some systems, such as x86_64, it
has hardlinks and then ldd sees one and the kernel the other, so grep
for libc in /proc/self/maps to get the one we'll receive from
PERF_RECORD_MMAP.
Thomas checked this change and acked it.

This 'perf test' case fails on s390x. The 'touch' command on s390x uses
the 'openat' system call to open the file named on the command line:
[root@s35lp76 perf]# perf probe -l
probe:vfs_getname (on getname_flags:72@fs/namei.c with pathname)
[root@s35lp76 perf]# perf trace -e open touch /tmp/abc
0.400 ( 0.015 ms): touch/27542 open(filename:
/usr/lib/locale/locale-archive, flags: CLOEXEC) = 3
[root@s35lp76 perf]#
There is no 'open' system call for file '/tmp/abc'. Instead the 'openat'
system call is used:
[root@s35lp76 perf]# strace touch /tmp/abc
execve("/usr/bin/touch", ["touch", "/tmp/abc"], 0x3ffd547ec98
/* 30 vars */) = 0
[...]
openat(AT_FDCWD, "/tmp/abc", O_WRONLY|O_CREAT|O_NOCTTY|O_NONBLOCK, 0666) = 3
[...]
On s390x the 'egrep' command does not find a matching pattern and
returns an error.
Fix this for s390x create a platform dependent command line to enable
the 'perf probe' call to listen to the 'openat' system call and get the
expected output.

When processing PERF_RECORD_AUXTRACE_INFO several perf_evsel entries
will be synthesized and inserted into session->evlist, eventually ending
in perf_script.tool.sample(), which ends up calling builtin-script.c's
process_event(), that expects evsel->priv to be a perf_evsel_script
object with a valid FILE pointer in fp.
So we need to intercept the processing of PERF_RECORD_AUXTRACE_INFO and
then setup evsel->priv for these newly created perf_evsel instances, do
it to fix the segfault in process_event() trying to use a NULL for that
FILE pointer.

The Intel PMU event aliases have a implicit period= specifier to set the
default period.
Unfortunately this breaks overriding these periods with -c or -F,
because the alias terms look like they are user specified to the
internal parser, and user specified event qualifiers override the
command line options.
Track that they are coming from aliases by adding a "weak" state to the
term. Any weak terms don't override command line options.
I only did it for -c/-F for now, I think that's the only case that's
broken currently.

When we use an initial delay, e.g.: 'perf record --delay 1000', we do not
enable the events until that delay has passed after we started the workload,
including the tracking event, i.e. the one for which we have attr.mmap, etc,
enabled to ask the kernel to generate the PERF_RECORD_{MMAP,COMM,EXEC} metadata
events that will then allow us to resolve addresses in samples to the map, dso
and symbol. There will be a shadow that even synthesizing samples won't cover,
i.e. the workload that we start and other processes forking while we
wait for the initial delay to expire.
So use a dummy event to be the tracking one and make it be enabled on exec.

Fixes: 6619a53ef7 ("perf record: Add --initial-delay option")

The evsel->idx field is used mainly to access the right bucket in
per-event arrays such as the annotation ones, but also to set
evsel->tracking, that in turn will decide what of the events will ask
for PERF_RECORD_{MMAP,COMM,EXEC} to be generated, i.e. which
perf_event_attr will have its mmap, etc fields set.
When we were adding the "dummy" event using perf_evlist__add_dummy() we
were not setting it correctly, which could result in multiple tracking
events.
Now that I'll try using a dummy event to be the tracking one when using
'perf record --delay', i.e. when we process the --delay
setting we may already have the evlist set up, like with:
perf record -e cycles,instructions --delay 1000 ./workload
We will need to add a "dummy" event, then reset evsel->tracking for the
first event, "cycles", and set it instead to the dummy one, and also
setting its attr.enable_on_exec, so that we get the PERF_RECORD_MMAP,
etc metadata events while waiting to enable the explicitely requested
events, so lets get this straight and set the right evsel->idx.

Pull x86 core updates from Ingo Molnar:
"Note that in this cycle most of the x86 topics interacted at a level
that caused them to be merged into tip:x86/asm - but this should be a
temporary phenomenon, hopefully we'll back to the usual patterns in
the next merge window.
The main changes in this cycle were:
Hardware enablement:
- Add support for the Intel UMIP (User Mode Instruction Prevention)
CPU feature. This is a security feature that disables certain
instructions such as SGDT, SLDT, SIDT, SMSW and STR. (Ricardo Neri)
[ Note that this is disabled by default for now, there are some
smaller enhancements in the pipeline that I'll follow up with in
the next 1-2 days, which allows this to be enabled by default.]
- Add support for the AMD SEV (Secure Encrypted Virtualization) CPU
feature, on top of SME (Secure Memory Encryption) support that was
added in v4.14. (Tom Lendacky, Brijesh Singh)
- Enable new SSE/AVX/AVX512 CPU features: AVX512_VBMI2, GFNI, VAES,
VPCLMULQDQ, AVX512_VNNI, AVX512_BITALG. (Gayatri Kammela)
Other changes:
- A big series of entry code simplifications and enhancements (Andy
Lutomirski)
- Make the ORC unwinder default on x86 and various objtool
enhancements. (Josh Poimboeuf)
- 5-level paging enhancements (Kirill A. Shutemov)
- Micro-optimize the entry code a bit (Borislav Petkov)
- Improve the handling of interdependent CPU features in the early
FPU init code (Andi Kleen)
- Build system enhancements (Changbin Du, Masahiro Yamada)
- ... plus misc enhancements, fixes and cleanups"

MFENCE appears to be way slower than a locked instruction - let's use
LOCK ADD unconditionally, as we always did on old 32-bit.
Performance testing results:
perf stat -r 10 -- ./virtio_ring_0_9 --sleep --host-affinity 0 --guest-affinity 0
Before:
0.922565990 seconds time elapsed ( +- 1.15% )
After:
0.578667024 seconds time elapsed ( +- 1.21% )
i.e. about ~60% faster.
Just poking at SP would be the most natural, but if we then read the
value from SP, we get a false dependency which will slow us down.
This was noted in this article:
http://shipilev.net/blog/2014/on-the-fence-with-dependencies/
And is easy to reproduce by sticking a barrier in a small non-inline
function.
So let's use a negative offset - which avoids this problem since we
build with the red zone disabled.
For userspace, use an address just below the redzone.
The one difference between LOCK ADD and MFENCE is that LOCK ADD does
not affect CLFLUSH, previous patches converted all uses of CLFLUSH to
call mb(), such that changes to smp_mb() won't affect it.
Update mb/rmb/wmb() on 32-bit to use the negative offset, too, for
consistency.
As a follow-up, it might be worth considering switching users
of CLFLUSH to another API (e.g. clflush_mb()?) - we will
then be able to convert mb() to smp_mb() again.
Also arguably, GCC should switch to use LOCK ADD for __sync_synchronize().
This might be worth pursuing separately.

The STR and SLDT instructions are not valid when running on virtual-8086
mode and generate an invalid operand exception. These two instructions are
protected by the Intel User-Mode Instruction Prevention (UMIP) security
feature. In protected mode, if UMIP is enabled, these instructions generate
a general protection fault if called from CPL > 0. Linux traps the general
protection fault and emulates the instructions sgdt, sidt and smsw; but not
str and sldt.
These tests are added to verify that the emulation code does not emulate
these two instructions but the expected invalid operand exception is
seen.
Tests fallback to exit with INT3 in case emulation does happen.

Certain user space programs that run on virtual-8086 mode may utilize
instructions protected by the User-Mode Instruction Prevention (UMIP)
security feature present in new Intel processors: SGDT, SIDT and SMSW. In
such a case, a general protection fault is issued if UMIP is enabled. When
such a fault happens, the kernel traps it and emulates the results of
these instructions with dummy values. The purpose of this new
test is to verify whether the impacted instructions can be executed
without causing such #GP. If no #GP exceptions occur, we expect to exit
virtual-8086 mode from INT3.
The instructions protected by UMIP are executed in representative use
cases:
a) displacement-only memory addressing
b) register-indirect memory addressing
c) results stored directly in operands
Unfortunately, it is not possible to check the results against a set of
expected values because no emulation will occur in systems that do not
have the UMIP feature. Instead, results are printed for verification. A
simple verification is done to ensure that results of all tests are
identical.

Bits 19:16 of LAR's result are undefined, and some upcoming
improvements to the test case seem to trigger this. Mask off those
bits to avoid spurious failures.
commit 5b781c7e31 ("x86/tls: Forcibly set the accessed bit in TLS
segments") adds a valid case in which LAR's output doesn't quite
agree with set_thread_area()'s input. This isn't triggered in the
test as is, but it will be if we start calling set_thread_area()
with the accessed bit clear. Work around this discrepency.
I've added a Fixes tag so that -stable can pick this up if neccesary.

After the SPDX license tags were added a number of tooling headers got out of
sync with their kernel variants, generating lots of build warnings.
Sync them:
- tools/arch/x86/include/asm/disabled-features.h,
tools/arch/x86/include/asm/required-features.h,
tools/include/linux/hash.h:
Remove the SPDX tag where the kernel version does not have it.

tools/include/uapi/linux/hw_breakpoint.h,
tools/include/uapi/linux/mman.h,
tools/include/uapi/linux/stat.h,
Change the tag to the kernel header version:
-/* SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 */
+/* SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note */
Also sync other header details:
- include/uapi/sound/asound.h:
Fix pointless end of line whitespace noise the header grew in this cycle.
- tools/arch/x86/lib/memcpy_64.S:
Sync the code and add tools/include/asm/export.h with dummy wrappers
to support building the kernel side code in a tooling header environment.

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.
By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.
Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.
This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.
How this work was done:
Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
- file had no licensing information it it.
- file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
- file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,
Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.
The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.
The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
- Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
- Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
lines of source
- File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
lines).
All documentation files were explicitly excluded.
The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.
- when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
COPYING file license applied.
For non */uapi/* files that summary was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 11139
and resulted in the first patch in this series.
If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930
and resulted in the second patch in this series.
- if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
it (per prior point). Results summary:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270
GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17
LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15
GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14
((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5
LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4
LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1
and that resulted in the third patch in this series.
- when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
the concluded license(s).
- when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.
- In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).
- When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
- If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
in time.
In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.
Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.
In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.
Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
- a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
license ids and scores
- reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
- reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
SPDX license was correct
This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.
These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

Many user space API headers have licensing information, which is either
incomplete, badly formatted or just a shorthand for referring to the
license under which the file is supposed to be. This makes it hard for
compliance tools to determine the correct license.
Update these files with an SPDX license identifier. The identifier was
chosen based on the license information in the file.
GPL/LGPL licensed headers get the matching GPL/LGPL SPDX license
identifier with the added 'WITH Linux-syscall-note' exception, which is
the officially assigned exception identifier for the kernel syscall
exception:
NOTE! This copyright does *not* cover user programs that use kernel
services by normal system calls - this is merely considered normal use
of the kernel, and does *not* fall under the heading of "derived work".
This exception makes it possible to include GPL headers into non GPL
code, without confusing license compliance tools.
Headers which have either explicit dual licensing or are just licensed
under a non GPL license are updated with the corresponding SPDX
identifier and the GPLv2 with syscall exception identifier. The format
is:
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR SPDX-ID-OF-OTHER-LICENSE)
SPDX license identifiers are a legally binding shorthand, which can be
used instead of the full boiler plate text. The update does not remove
existing license information as this has to be done on a case by case
basis and the copyright holders might have to be consulted. This will
happen in a separate step.
This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne. See the previous patch in this series for the
methodology of how this patch was researched.
