Disable the jprobes APIs and comment out the jprobes API function code. This is in preparation of removing all jprobes related code (including kprobe's break_handler). Nowadays ftrace and other tracing features are mature enough to replace jprobes use-cases. Users can safely use ftrace and perf probe etc. for their use cases.

We want to wait for all potentially preempted kprobes trampoline execution to have completed. This guarantees that any freed trampoline memory is not in use by any task in the system anymore. synchronize_rcu_tasks() gives such a guarantee, so use it. Also, this guarantees to wait for all potentially preempted tasks on the instructions which will be replaced with a jump. Since this becomes a problem only when CONFIG_PREEMPT=y, enable CONFIG_TASKS_RCU=y for synchronize_rcu_tasks() in that case. Signed-off-by: Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@kernel.org> Acked-by: Paul E.

Mathieu Desnoyers authored
This introduces a "register private expedited" membarrier command which allows eventual removal of important memory barrier constraints on the scheduler fast-paths. It changes how the "private expedited" membarrier command (new to 4.14) is used from user-space. This new command allows processes to register their intent to use the private expedited command. This affects how the expedited private command introduced in 4.14-rc is meant to be used, and should be merged before 4.14 final. Processes are now required to register before using MEMBARRIER_CMD_PRIVATE_EXPEDITED, otherwise that command returns EPERM. This fixes a problem that arose when designing requested extensions to sys_membarrier() to allow JITs to efficiently flush old code from instruction caches. Several potential algorithms are much less painful if the user register intent to use this functionality early on, for example, before the process spawns the second thread. Registering at this time removes the need to interrupt each and every thread in that process at the first expedited sys_membarrier() system call.

As discussed on the debian-hppa list, double-wordcompare and exchange operations fail on 32-bit kernels. Looking at the code, I realized that the ",ma" completer does the wrong thing in the "ldw,ma 4(%r26), %r29" instruction. This increments %r26 and causes the following store to write to the wrong location. Note by Helge Deller: The patch applies cleanly to stable kernel series if this upstream commit is merged in advance: f4125cfd ("parisc: Avoid trashing sr2 and sr3 in LWS code").

This reverts commit: e863d539 ("kprobes: Warn if optprobe handler tries to change execution path") On PowerPC, we place a probe at kretprobe_trampoline to catch function returns and with CONFIG_OPTPROBES=y, this probe gets optimized. This works for us due to the way we handle the optprobe as described in commit: 762df10b ("powerpc/kprobes: Optimize kprobe in kretprobe_trampoline()") With the above commit, we end up with a warning.

In current xyarray code, xyarray__max_x() returns max_y, and xyarray__max_y() returns max_x. It's confusing and for code logic it looks not correct. Error happens when closing evsel fd. Let's see this scenario: 1. Allocate an fd (pseudo-code) perf_evsel__alloc_fd(struct perf_evsel *evsel, int ncpus, int nthreads) { evsel->fd = xyarray__new(ncpus, nthreads, sizeof(int)); } xyarray__new(int xlen, int ylen, size_t entry_size) { size_t row_size = ylen * entry_size; struct xyarray *xy = zalloc(sizeof(*xy) + xlen * row_size); xy->entry_size = entry_size; xy->row_size = row_size; xy->entries = xlen * ylen; xy->max_x = xlen; xy->max_y = ylen; ...... } So max_x is ncpus, max_y is nthreads and row_size = nthreads * 4. 2. Use perf syscall and get the fd int perf_evsel__open(struct perf_evsel *evsel, struct cpu_map *cpus, struct thread_map *threads) { for (cpu = 0; cpu < cpus->nr; cpu++) { for (thread = 0; thread < nthreads; thread++) { int fd, group_fd; fd = sys_perf_event_open(&evsel->attr, pid, cpus->map[cpu], group_fd, flags); FD(evsel, cpu, thread) = fd; } } static inline void *xyarray__entry(struct xyarray *xy, int x, int y) { return &xy->contents[x * xy->row_size + y * xy->entry_size]; } These codes don't have issues. The issue happens in the closing of fd. 3. Close fd. void perf_evsel__close_fd(struct perf_evsel *evsel) { int cpu, thread; for (cpu = 0; cpu < xyarray__max_x(evsel->fd); cpu++) for (thread = 0; thread < xyarray__max_y(evsel->fd); ++thread) { close(FD(evsel, cpu, thread)); FD(evsel, cpu, thread) = -1; } } Since xyarray__max_x() returns max_y (nthreads) and xyarry__max_y() returns max_x (ncpus), so above code is actually to be: for (cpu = 0; cpu < nthreads; cpu++) for (thread = 0; thread < ncpus; ++thread) { close(FD(evsel, cpu, thread)); FD(evsel, cpu, thread) = -1; } It's not correct! This change is introduced by "475fb533" ("perf evsel: Fix buffer overflow while freeing events") This fix is to let xyarray__max_x() return max_x (ncpus) and let xyarry__max_y() return max_y (nthreads) Committer note: This was also fixed by Ravi Bangoria, who provided the same patch, noticing the problem with 'perf record': <quote Ravi> I see 'perf record -p <pid>' crashes with following log: *** Error in `./perf': free(): invalid next size (normal): 0x000000000298b340 *** ======= Backtrace: ========= /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6(+0x777e5)[0x7f7fd85c87e5] /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6(+0x8037a)[0x7f7fd85d137a] /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6(cfree+0x4c)[0x7f7fd85d553c] ./perf(perf_evsel__close+0xb4)[0x4b7614] ./perf(perf_evlist__delete+0x100)[0x4ab180] ./perf(cmd_record+0x1d9)[0x43a5a9] ./perf[0x49aa2f] ./perf(main+0x631)[0x427841] /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xf0)[0x7f7fd8571830] ./perf(_start+0x29)[0x427a59] </> Signed-off-by: Jin Yao <yao.jin@linux.intel.com> Acked-by: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org> Cc: Alexander Shishkin <alexander.shishkin@linux.intel.com> Cc: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com> Cc: Kan Liang <kan.liang@intel.com> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Ravi Bangoria <ravi.bangoria@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Fixes: d74be476 ("perf xyarray: Save max_x, max_y") Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1508339478-26674-1-git-send-email-yao.jin@linux.intel.com Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1508327446-15302-1-git-send-email-ravi.bangoria@linux.vnet.ibm.comSigned-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>

The issue is that I added another trace event sample that reused a reg function of another trace event to create a thread to call the tracepoints. The problem was that the reg function couldn't handle nested calls (reg; reg; unreg; unreg;) and created two threads (instead of one) and only removed one on exit. This isn't a critical bug as the bug is only in sample code. But sample code should be free of known bugs to prevent others from copying it.

The commit 99b5c5bb ("ALSA: hda - Remove the use of set_fs()") converted the get_kctl_0dB_offset() call for killing set_fs() usage in HD-audio codec code. The conversion assumed that the TLV callback used in HD-audio code is only snd_hda_mixer_amp() and applies the TLV calculation locally. Although this assumption is correct, and all slave kctls are actually with that callback, the current code is still utterly buggy; it doesn't hit this condition and falls back to the next check. It's because the function gets called after adding slave kctls to vmaster. By assigning a slave kctl, the slave kctl object is faked inside vmaster code, and the whole kctl ops are overridden. Thus the callback op points to a different value from what we've assumed. More badly, as reported by the KERNEXEC and UDEREF features of PaX, the code flow turns into the unexpected pitfall. The next fallback check is SNDRV_CTL_ELEM_ACCESS_TLV_READ access bit, and this always hits for each kctl with TLV. Then it evaluates the callback function pointer wrongly as if it were a TLV array. Although currently its side-effect is fairly limited, this incorrect reference may lead to an unpleasant result. For addressing the regression, this patch introduces a new helper to vmaster code, snd_ctl_apply_vmaster_slaves(). This works similarly like the existing map_slaves() in hda_codec.c: it loops over the slave list of the given master, and applies the given function to each slave. Then the initializer function receives the right kctl object and we can compare the correct pointer instead of the faked one. Also, for catching the similar breakage in future, give an error message when the unexpected TLV callback is found and bail out immediately.

While converting the error messages to the standard macros in the commit 4e76a883 ("ALSA: hda - Replace with standard printk"), a superfluous '-' slipped in the code mistakenly. Its influence is almost negligible, merely shows a dB value as negative integer instead of positive integer (or vice versa) in the rare error message. So let's kill this embarrassing byte to show more correct value. Fixes: 4e76a883 ("ALSA: hda - Replace with standard printk") Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@suse.de>

The 'use' locking macros are no-ops if neither SMP or SND_DEBUG is enabled.

Commit 7496946a ("tracing: Add samples of DECLARE_EVENT_CLASS() and DEFINE_EVENT()") added template examples for all the events. It created a DEFINE_EVENT_FN() example which reused the foo_bar_reg and foo_bar_unreg functions. Enabling both the TRACE_EVENT_FN() and DEFINE_EVENT_FN() example trace events caused the foo_bar_reg to be called twice, creating the test thread twice. The foo_bar_unreg would remove it only once, even if it was called multiple times, leaving a thread existing when the module is unloaded, causing an oops. Add a ref count and allow foo_bar_reg() and foo_bar_unreg() be called by multiple trace events.

Currently we try to defer completion of async DIO to the process context in case there are any mapped pages associated with the inode so that we can invalidate the pages when the IO completes. However the check is racy and the pages can be mapped afterwards. If this happens we might end up calling invalidate_inode_pages2_range() in dio_complete() in interrupt context which could sleep. This can be reproduced by generic/451. Fix this by passing the information whether we can or can't invalidate to the dio_complete(). Thanks Eryu Guan for reporting this and Jan Kara for suggesting a fix.

The writeback rework in commit fbcc0256 ("xfs: Introduce writeback context for writepages") introduced a subtle change in behavior with regard to the block mapping used across the ->writepages() sequence. The previous xfs_cluster_write() code would only flush pages up to EOF at the time of the writepage, thus ensuring that any pages due to file-extending writes would be handled on a separate cycle and with a new, updated block mapping. The updated code establishes a block mapping in xfs_writepage_map() that could extend beyond EOF if the file has post-eof preallocation. Because we now use the generic writeback infrastructure and pass the cached mapping to each writepage call, there is no implicit EOF limit in place. If eofblocks trimming occurs during ->writepages(), any post-eof portion of the cached mapping becomes invalid. The eofblocks code has no means to serialize against writeback because there are no pages associated with post-eof blocks. Therefore if an eofblocks trim occurs and is followed by a file-extending buffered write, not only has the mapping become invalid, but we could end up writing a page to disk based on the invalid mapping. Consider the following sequence of events: - A buffered write creates a delalloc extent and post-eof speculative preallocation. - Writeback starts and on the first writepage cycle, the delalloc extent is converted to real blocks (including the post-eof blocks) and the mapping is cached. - The file is closed and xfs_release() trims post-eof blocks. The cached writeback mapping is now invalid. - Another buffered write appends the file with a delalloc extent. - The concurrent writeback cycle picks up the just written page because the writeback range end is LLONG_MAX. xfs_writepage_map() attributes it to the (now invalid) cached mapping and writes the data to an incorrect location on disk (and where the file offset is still backed by a delalloc extent). This problem is reproduced by xfstests test generic/464, which triggers racing writes, appends, open/closes and writeback requests. To address this problem, trim the mapping used during writeback to within EOF when the mapping is validated. This ensures the mapping is revalidated for any pages encountered beyond EOF as of the time the current mapping was cached or last validated.
