Arnd Bergmann reported that a randconfig build was failing with the
following link error:
built-in.o: member arch/x86/kernel/time.o in archive is not an object
It turns out the link failed because the time.o file had been corrupted
by objtool:
nm: arch/x86/kernel/time.o: File format not recognized
In certain rare cases, when a .o file's ORC table is very small, the
.data section size doesn't change because it's page aligned. Because
all the existing sections haven't changed size, libelf doesn't detect
any section header changes, and so it doesn't update the section header
table properly. Instead it writes junk in the section header entries
for the new ORC sections.
Make sure libelf properly updates the section header table by setting
the ELF_F_DIRTY flag in the top level elf struct.

GFP_TEMPORARY was introduced by commit e12ba74d8f ("Group short-lived
and reclaimable kernel allocations") along with __GFP_RECLAIMABLE. It's
primary motivation was to allow users to tell that an allocation is
short lived and so the allocator can try to place such allocations close
together and prevent long term fragmentation. As much as this sounds
like a reasonable semantic it becomes much less clear when to use the
highlevel GFP_TEMPORARY allocation flag. How long is temporary? Can the
context holding that memory sleep? Can it take locks? It seems there is
no good answer for those questions.
The current implementation of GFP_TEMPORARY is basically GFP_KERNEL |
__GFP_RECLAIMABLE which in itself is tricky because basically none of
the existing caller provide a way to reclaim the allocated memory. So
this is rather misleading and hard to evaluate for any benefits.
I have checked some random users and none of them has added the flag
with a specific justification. I suspect most of them just copied from
other existing users and others just thought it might be a good idea to
use without any measuring. This suggests that GFP_TEMPORARY just
motivates for cargo cult usage without any reasoning.
I believe that our gfp flags are quite complex already and especially
those with highlevel semantic should be clearly defined to prevent from
confusion and abuse. Therefore I propose dropping GFP_TEMPORARY and
replace all existing users to simply use GFP_KERNEL. Please note that
SLAB users with shrinkers will still get __GFP_RECLAIMABLE heuristic and
so they will be placed properly for memory fragmentation prevention.
I can see reasons we might want some gfp flag to reflect shorterm
allocations but I propose starting from a clear semantic definition and
only then add users with proper justification.
This was been brought up before LSF this year by Matthew [1] and it
turned out that GFP_TEMPORARY really doesn't have a clear semantic. It
seems to be a heuristic without any measured advantage for most (if not
all) its current users. The follow up discussion has revealed that
opinions on what might be temporary allocation differ a lot between
developers. So rather than trying to tweak existing users into a
semantic which they haven't expected I propose to simply remove the flag
and start from scratch if we really need a semantic for short term
allocations.

It's not possible to run a package event and a per cpu event in the same
group. This is used by some of the power metrics. They work correctly
when not using a group.
Normally weak groups should handle that, but in this case EBADF is
returned instead of the normal EINVAL.
$ strace -e perf_event_open ./perf stat -v -e '{cstate_pkg/c2-residency/,msr/tsc/}:W' -a sleep 1

perf_event_open({type=0x17 /* PERF_TYPE_??? */, size=PERF_ATTR_SIZE_VER5, config=0, ...}, -1, 0, -1, PERF_FLAG_FD_CLOEXEC) = -1 EINVAL (Invalid argument)
perf_event_open({type=0x17 /* PERF_TYPE_??? */, size=PERF_ATTR_SIZE_VER5, config=0, ...}, -1, 0, -1, 0) = -1 EINVAL (Invalid argument)

perf_event_open({type=0x7 /* PERF_TYPE_??? */, size=PERF_ATTR_SIZE_VER5, config=0, ...}, -1, 1, 0, 0) = -1 EBADF (Bad file descriptor)
and perf errors out.
Make weak groups trigger a fall back for EBADF too. Then this case works correctly:

When there isn't a config file (e.g. ~/.perfconfig) or it has nothing,
the config set wasn't created.
If the config set does not exist, a config file can't be autogenerated.
So allow creating a empty config set in the above case,
then we can support the config file autogeneration.
Before:
$ rm -f ~/.perfconfig
$ perf config --user report.children=false
$ cat ~/.perfconfig
cat: /root/.perfconfig: No such file or directory
But I think it should work even if there isn't a config file.
After:
$ rm -f ~/.perfconfig
$ perf config --user report.children=false
$ cat ~/.perfconfig
# this file is auto-generated.
[report]
children = false
NOTE:
As a result, if perf_config_set__init() fails, it looks as if the config
set isn't freed. But it isn't a problem. Because the config set will be
freed by perf_config_set__delete() at the end of cmd_config().

Add generic support for standalone metrics specified in JSON files to
perf stat. A metric is a formula that uses multiple events to compute a
higher level result (e.g. IPC).
Previously metrics were always tied to an event and automatically
enabled with that event. But now change it that we can have standalone
metrics. They are in the same JSON data structure as events, but don't
have an event name.
We also allow to organize the metrics in metric groups, which allows a
short cut to select several related metrics at once.
Add a new -M / --metrics option to perf stat that adds the metrics or
metric groups specified.
Add the core code to manage and parse the metric groups. They are
collected from the JSON data structures into a separate rblist. When
computing shadow values look for metrics in that list. Then they are
computed using the existing saved values infrastructure in stat-shadow.c
The actual JSON metrics are in a separate pull request.

Setting up groups can be complicated due to the complicated scheduling
restrictions of different PMUs.
User tools usually don't understand all these restrictions.
Still in many cases it is useful to set up groups and they work most of
the time. However if the group is set up wrong some members will not
report any value because they never get scheduled.
Add a concept of a 'weak group': try to set up a group, but if it's not
schedulable fallback to not using a group. That gives us the best of
both worlds: groups if they work, but still a usable fallback if they
don't.
In theory it would be possible to have more complex fallback strategies
(e.g. try to split the group in half), but the simple fallback of not
using a group seems to work for now.
So far the weak group is only implemented for perf stat, not for record.
Here's an unschedulable group (on IvyBridge with SMT on)

Previously the part behind "perf-" was interpreted as an internal perf
command. If the suffix could not be handled, the execution was stopped.
This makes it impossible to launch perf binaries that got renamed to
have the `perf-` prefix. This is e.g. the case for appimages (e.g.
"perf-x86_64.AppImage"), but would also apply to all other scenarios
where users symlink or rename perf themselves:
Status quo with the broken behavior:
$ ln -s ./perf ./perf-custom-suffix
$ ./perf-custom-suffix list
cannot handle custom-suffix internally$
Also note the missing newline at the end of the error message.
With this patch applied, the above works properly:
$ ./perf-custom-suffix list

We currently update the 'next' variable only with a single step value.
But it's possible the 'adv' update is bigger than single 'step' value.
This would leave 'next' value under counted and force unnecessary
ui_progress__ops->update calls.
Calculate the amount of steps we need for 'adv' update and increase the
'next' with that amounts of steps.

Unlikely, but we could have ui_progress__init being called with total <
16, which would set the next and step variables to 0. That would force
unnecessary ui_progress__ops->update calls because 'next' would never
raise.
Forcing the next and step values to be always > 0.

Do not use -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 for DEBUG build as it seems to mess up

When cross compiling perf and I want to link against a self-compiled
libunwind, I usually make the custom path where the libunwind headers
exist visible by adding the libunwind prefix to the include path when
compiling perf, i.e.:
~~~~~
$ ls $HOME/projects/compiled/other/include/
libunwind-coredump.h libunwind.h libunwind-x86_64.h
libunwind-common.h libunwind-dynamic.h libunwind-ptrace.h
unwind.h
$ make EXTRA_CFLAGS="-I$HOME/projects/compiled/other/include/
~~~~~~
Note the `unwind.h` header from libunwind which leads to compile
errors when compiling tests/dwarf-unwind.c, since it shadows perf's
util/unwind.h:
~~~~~
tests/dwarf-unwind.c:41:32: error: ‘struct unwind_entry’ declared inside parameter list will not be visible outside of this definition or declaration [-Werror]
static int unwind_entry(struct unwind_entry *entry, void *arg)
^~~~~~~~~~~~
tests/dwarf-unwind.c: In function ‘unwind_entry’:
tests/dwarf-unwind.c:44:22: error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type ‘struct unwind_entry’
char *symbol = entry->sym ? entry->sym->name : NULL;
^~
tests/dwarf-unwind.c: In function ‘unwind_thread’:
tests/dwarf-unwind.c:92:8: error: implicit declaration of function ‘unwind__get_entries’; did you mean ‘unwind_entry’? [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
err = unwind__get_entries(unwind_entry, &cnt, thread,
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
unwind_entry
tests/dwarf-unwind.c:92:8: error: nested extern declaration of ‘unwind__get_entries’ [-Werror=nested-externs]
~~~~~~
Fix this compile error by specificing an explicit include of perf's
unwind.h in the util folder.

Pull namespace updates from Eric Biederman:
"Life has been busy and I have not gotten half as much done this round
as I would have liked. I delayed it so that a minor conflict
resolution with the mips tree could spend a little time in linux-next
before I sent this pull request.
This includes two long delayed user namespace changes from Kirill
Tkhai. It also includes a very useful change from Serge Hallyn that
allows the security capability attribute to be used inside of user
namespaces. The practical effect of this is people can now untar
tarballs and install rpms in user namespaces. It had been suggested to
generalize this and encode some of the namespace information
information in the xattr name. Upon close inspection that makes the
things that should be hard easy and the things that should be easy
more expensive.
Then there is my bugfix/cleanup for signal injection that removes the
magic encoding of the siginfo union member from the kernel internal
si_code. The mips folks reported the case where I had used FPE_FIXME
me is impossible so I have remove FPE_FIXME from mips, while at the
same time including a return statement in that case to keep gcc from
complaining about unitialized variables.
I almost finished the work to get make copy_siginfo_to_user a trivial
copy to user. The code is available at:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace.git neuter-copy_siginfo_to_user-v3
But I did not have time/energy to get the code posted and reviewed
before the merge window opened.
I was able to see that the security excuse for just copying fields
that we know are initialized doesn't work in practice there are buggy
initializations that don't initialize the proper fields in siginfo. So
we still sometimes copy unitialized data to userspace"
