      tracing: Use trace_clock_local() for looping in preemptirq_delay_test.c · 12ad0cb2
      Steven Rostedt (VMware) authored 
      The preemptirq_delay_test module is used for the ftrace selftest code that
tests the latency tracers. The problem is that it uses ktime for the delay
loop, and then checks the tracer to see if the delay loop is caught, but the
tracer uses trace_clock_local() which uses various different other clocks to
measure the latency. As ktime uses the clock cycles, and the code then
converts that to nanoseconds, it causes rounding errors, and the preemptirq
latency tests are failing due to being off by 1 (it expects to see a delay
of 500000 us, but the delay is only 499999 us). This is happening due to a
rounding error in the ktime (which is totally legit). The purpose of the
test is to see if it can catch the delay, not to test the accuracy between
trace_clock_local() and ktime_get(). Best to use apples to apples, and have
the delay loop use the same clock as the latency tracer does.

      tracepoint: Fix tracepoint array element size mismatch · 9c0be3f6
      Mathieu Desnoyers authored 
      commit 46e0c9be ("kernel: tracepoints: add support for relative
references") changes the layout of the __tracepoint_ptrs section on
architectures supporting relative references. However, it does so
without turning struct tracepoint * const into const int elsewhere in
the tracepoint code, which has the following side-effect:

Setting mod->num_tracepoints is done in by module.c:

    mod->tracepoints_ptrs = section_objs(info, "__tracepoints_ptrs",
                                         sizeof(*mod->tracepoints_ptrs),
                                         &mod->num_tracepoints);

Basically, since sizeof(*mod->tracepoints_ptrs) is a pointer size
(rather than sizeof(int)), num_tracepoints is erroneously set to half the
size it should be on 64-bit arch. So a module with an odd number of
tracepoints misses the last tracepoint due to effect of integer
division.

So in the module going notifier:

        for_each_tracepoint_range(mod->tracepoints_ptrs,
                mod->tracepoints_ptrs + mod->num_tracepoints,
                tp_module_going_check_quiescent, NULL);

the expression (mod->tracepoints_ptrs + mod->num_tracepoints) actually
evaluates to something within the bounds of the array, but miss the
last tracepoint if the number of tracepoints is odd on 64-bit arch.

Fix this by introducing a new typedef: tracepoint_ptr_t, which
is either "const int" on architectures that have PREL32 relocations,
or "struct tracepoint * const" on architectures that does not have
this feature.

Also provide a new tracepoint_ptr_defer() static inline to
encapsulate deferencing this type rather than duplicate code and
ugly idefs within the for_each_tracepoint_range() implementation.

This issue appears in 4.19-rc kernels, and should ideally be fixed
before the end of the rc cycle.

      afs: Fix clearance of reply · f0a7d188
      David Howells authored 
      The recent patch to fix the afs_server struct leak didn't actually fix the
bug, but rather fixed some of the symptoms.  The problem is that an
asynchronous call that holds a resource pointed to by call->reply[0] will
find the pointer cleared in the call destructor, thereby preventing the
resource from being cleaned up.

In the case of the server record leak, the afs_fs_get_capabilities()
function in devel code sets up a call with reply[0] pointing at the server
record that should be altered when the result is obtained, but this was
being cleared before the destructor was called, so the put in the
destructor does nothing and the record is leaked.

Commit f014ffb0 removed the additional ref obtained by
afs_install_server(), but the removal of this ref is actually used by the
garbage collector to mark a server record as being defunct after the record
has expired through lack of use.

The offending clearance of call->reply[0] upon completion in
afs_process_async_call() has been there from the origin of the code, but
none of the asynchronous calls actually use that pointer currently, so it
should be safe to remove (note that synchronous calls don't involve this
function).

Fix this by the following means:

 (1) Revert commit f014ffb0.

 (2) Remove the clearance of reply[0] from afs_process_async_call().

Without this, afs_manage_servers() will suffer an assertion failure if it
sees a server record that didn't get used because the usage count is not 1.

Fixes: f014ffb0 ("afs: Fix afs_server struct leak")
Fixes: 08e0e7c8 ("[AF_RXRPC]: Make the in-kernel AFS filesystem use AF_RXRPC.")

      sparc64: Set %l4 properly on trap return after handling signals. · d1f1f98c
      David S. Miller authored 
      If we did some signal processing, we have to reload the pt_regs
tstate register because it's value may have changed.

In doing so we also have to extract the %pil value contained in there
anre load that into %l4.

This value is at bit 20 and thus needs to be shifted down before we
later write it into the %pil register.

Most of the time this is harmless as we are returning to userspace
and the %pil is zero for that case.
