The s390 architecture maps sys_mmap (nr 90) into sys_old_mmap. For this reason perf trace can't find the proper syscall event to get args format from and displays it wrongly as 'continued'. To fix that fill the "alias" field with "old_mmap" for trace's mmap record to get the correct translation.

The __hpp__sort_acc() sorts entries using callchain depth in order to put callers above in children mode. But it assumed the callchain order was callee-first. Now default (for children) is caller-first so the order of entries is reverted. For example, consider following case: $ perf report --no-children ..l # Overhead Command Shared Object Symbol # ........ ....... ................... .......................... # 99.44% a.out a.out [.] main | ---main __libc_start_main _start Then children mode should show 'start' above '__libc_start_main' since it's the caller (parent) of the __libc_start_main. But it's reversed: # Children Self Command Shared Object Symbol # ........ ........ ....... ............... ..................... # 99.61% 0.00% a.out libc-2.25.so [.] __libc_start_main 99.61% 0.00% a.out a.out [.] _start 99.54% 99.44% a.out a.out [.] main This patch fixes it. # Children Self Command Shared Object Symbol # ........ ........ ....... ............... ..................... # 99.61% 0.00% a.out a.out [.] _start 99.61% 0.00% a.out libc-2.25.so [.] __libc_start_main 99.54% 99.44% a.out a.out [.] main Signed-off-by:

So far, the inlined nodes where only reversed when we built perf against libbfd. If that was not available, the addr2line fallback code path was missing the inline_list__reverse call. Now we always add the nodes in the correct order within inline_list__append. This removes the need to reverse the list and also ensures that all callers construct the list in the right order.

As the documentation for dwfl_frame_pc says, frames that are no activation frames need to have their program counter decremented by one to properly find the function of the caller. This fixes many cases where perf report currently attributes the cost to the next line. I.e. I have code like this: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ #include <thread> #include <chrono> using namespace std; int main() { this_thread::sleep_for(chrono::milliseconds(1000)); this_thread::sleep_for(chrono::milliseconds(100)); this_thread::sleep_for(chrono::milliseconds(10)); return 0; } ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Now compile and record it: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ g++ -std=c++11 -g -O2 test.cpp echo 1 | sudo tee /proc/sys/kernel/sched_schedstats perf record \ --event sched:sched_stat_sleep \ --event sched:sched_process_exit \ --event sched:sched_switch --call-graph=dwarf \ --output perf.data.raw \ ./a.out echo 0 | sudo tee /proc/sys/kernel/sched_schedstats perf inject --sched-stat --input perf.data.raw --output perf.data ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Before this patch, the report clearly shows the off-by-one issue. Most notably, the last sleep invocation is incorrectly attributed to the "return 0;" line: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Overhead Source:Line ........ ........... 100.00% core.c:0 | ---__schedule core.c:0 schedule do_nanosleep hrtimer.c:0 hrtimer_nanosleep sys_nanosleep entry_SYSCALL_64_fastpath .tmp_entry_64.o:0 __nanosleep_nocancel .:0 std::this_thread::sleep_for<long, std::ratio<1l, 1000l> > thread:323 | |--90.08%--main test.cpp:9 | __libc_start_main | _start | |--9.01%--main test.cpp:10 | __libc_start_main | _start | --0.91%--main test.cpp:13 __libc_start_main _start ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ With this patch here applied, the issue is fixed. The report becomes much more usable: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Overhead Source:Line ........ ........... 100.00% core.c:0 | ---__schedule core.c:0 schedule do_nanosleep hrtimer.c:0 hrtimer_nanosleep sys_nanosleep entry_SYSCALL_64_fastpath .tmp_entry_64.o:0 __nanosleep_nocancel .:0 std::this_thread::sleep_for<long, std::ratio<1l, 1000l> > thread:323 | |--90.08%--main test.cpp:8 | __libc_start_main | _start | |--9.01%--main test.cpp:9 | __libc_start_main | _start | --0.91%--main test.cpp:10 __libc_start_main _start ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Similarly it works for signal frames: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ __noinline void bar(void) { volatile long cnt = 0; for (cnt = 0; cnt < 100000000; cnt++); } __noinline void foo(void) { bar(); } void sig_handler(int sig) { foo(); } int main(void) { signal(SIGUSR1, sig_handler); raise(SIGUSR1); foo(); return 0; } ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Before, the report wrongly points to `signal.c:29` after raise(): ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ $ perf report --stdio --no-children -g srcline -s srcline ... 100.00% signal.c:11 | ---bar signal.c:11 | |--50.49%--main signal.c:29 | __libc_start_main | _start | --49.51%--0x33a8f raise .:0 main signal.c:29 __libc_start_main _start ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ With this patch in, the issue is fixed and we instead get: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 100.00% signal signal [.] bar | ---bar signal.c:11 | |--50.49%--main signal.c:29 | __libc_start_main | _start | --49.51%--0x33a8f raise .:0 main signal.c:27 __libc_start_main _start ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Note how this patch fixes this issue for both unwinding methods, i.e. both dwfl and libunwind. The former case is straight-forward thanks to dwfl_frame_pc(). For libunwind, we replace the functionality via unw_is_signal_frame() for any but the very first frame. Signed-off-by:

Prior to the pstore interface refactoring, the "id" generated during a backend pstore_write() was only retained by the internal pstore inode tracking list. Additionally the "part" was ignored, so EFI would encode this in the id. This corrects the misunderstandings and correctly sets "id" during pstore_write(), and uses "part" directly during pstore_erase(). Reported-by:

In commit dc9c4d0f, the arp_target array moved from a static global to a local variable. By the nature of static globals, the array used to be initialized to all 0. At present, it's full of random data, which that gets interpreted as arp_target values, when none have actually been specified.

As of 7bb11dc9 and 0622cab0, bond slaves in a 3ad bond are not removed from the aggregator when they are down, and the active slave count is NOT equal to number of ports in the aggregator, but rather the number of ports in the aggregator that are still enabled. The sysfs spew for bonding_show_ad_num_ports() has a comment that says "Show number of active 802.3ad ports.", but it's currently showing total number of ports, both active and inactive. Remedy it by using the same logic introduced in 0622cab0 in __bond_3ad_get_active_agg_info(), so sysfs, procfs and netlink all report the number of active ports. Note that this means that IFLA_BOND_AD_INFO_NUM_PORTS really means NUM_ACTIVE_PORTS instead of NUM_PORTS, and thus perhaps should be renamed for clarity. Lightly tested on a dual i40e lacp bond, simulating link downs with an ip link set dev <slave2> down, was able to produce the state where I could see both in the same aggregator, but a number of ports count of 1.

The code to fetch a 64-bit value from user space was entirely buggered, and has been since the code was merged in early 2016 in commit b2f68038 ("x86/mm/32: Add support for 64-bit __get_user() on 32-bit kernels"). Happily the buggered routine is almost certainly entirely unused, since the normal way to access user space memory is just with the non-inlined "get_user()", and the inlined version didn't even historically exist. The normal "get_user()" case is handled by external hand-written asm in arch/x86/lib/getuser.S that doesn't have either of these issues. There were two independent bugs in __get_user_asm_u64(): - it still did the STAC/CLAC user space access marking, even though that is now done by the wrapper macros, see commit 11f1a4b9 ("x86: reorganize SMAP handling in user space accesses"). This didn't result in a semantic error, it just means that the inlined optimized version was hugely less efficient than the allegedly slower standard version, since the CLAC/STAC overhead is quite high on modern Intel CPU's. - the double register %eax/%edx was marked as an output, but the %eax part of it was touched early in the asm, and could thus clobber other inputs to the asm that gcc didn't expect it to touch. In particular, that meant that the generated code could look like this: mov (%eax),%eax mov 0x4(%eax),%edx where the load of %edx obviously was _supposed_ to be from the 32-bit word that followed the source of %eax, but because %eax was overwritten by the first instruction, the source of %edx was basically random garbage. The fixes are trivial: remove the extraneous STAC/CLAC entries, and mark the 64-bit output as early-clobber to let gcc know that no inputs should alias with the output register.

Al noticed that unsafe_put_user() had type problems, and fixed them in commit a7cc722f ("fix unsafe_put_user()"), which made me look more at those functions. It turns out that unsafe_get_user() had a type issue too: it limited the largest size of the type it could handle to "unsigned long". Which is fine with the current users, but doesn't match our existing normal get_user() semantics, which can also handle "u64" even when that does not fit in a long. While at it, also clean up the type cast in unsafe_put_user(). We actually want to just make it an assignment to the expected type of the pointer, because we actually do want warnings from types that don't convert silently. And it makes the code more readable by not having that one very long and complex line. [ This patch might become stable material if we ever end up back-porting any new users of the unsafe uaccess code, but as things stand now this doesn't matter for any current existing uses. ] Cc: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Signed-off-by:

Since commit 76b91c32 ("bridge: stp: when using userspace stp stop kernel hello and hold timers"), bridge would not start hello_timer if stp_enabled is not KERNEL_STP when br_dev_open. The problem is even if users set stp_enabled with KERNEL_STP later, the timer will still not be started. It causes that KERNEL_STP can not really work. Users have to re-ifup the bridge to avoid this. This patch is to fix it by starting br->hello_timer when enabling KERNEL_STP in br_stp_start. As an improvement, it's also to start hello_timer again only when br->stp_enabled is KERNEL_STP in br_hello_timer_expired, there is no reason to start the timer again when it's NO_STP. Fixes: 76b91c32 ("bridge: stp: when using userspace stp stop kernel hello and hold timers") Reported-by:

Currently, when arp_accept is 1, we always override existing neigh entries with incoming gratuitous ARP replies. Otherwise, we override them only if new replies satisfy _locktime_ conditional (packets arrive not earlier than _locktime_ seconds since the last update to the neigh entry). The idea behind locktime is to pick the very first (=> close) reply received in a unicast burst when ARP proxies are used. This helps to avoid ARP thrashing where Linux would switch back and forth from one proxy to another. This logic has nothing to do with gratuitous ARP replies that are generally not aligned in time when multiple IP address carriers send them into network. This patch enforces overriding of existing neigh entries by all incoming gratuitous ARP packets, irrespective of their time of arrival. This will make the kernel honour all incoming gratuitous ARP packets. Signed-off-by:
