      Pull block fixes from Jens Axboe:
 "Three small fixes:

   - A fix for skd, it was using kfree() to free a structure allocate
     with kmem_cache_alloc().

   - Stable fix for nbd, fixing a regression using the normal ioctl
     based tools.

   - Fix for a previous fix in this series, that fixed up
     inconsistencies between buffered and direct IO"

      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. As such, revert this change.

      perf test shell trace+probe_libc_inet_pton.sh: Be compatible with Debian/Ubuntu · 74f8e22c
      Li Zhijian authored 
      In debian/ubuntu, libc.so is located at a different place,
/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc-2.23.so, so it outputs like this when testing:

  PING ::1(::1) 56 data bytes

Fix up the libc path to make sure this test works in more OSes.

When this test fails one can use 'perf test -v', i.e. in verbose mode, where
it'll show the expected backtrace, so, after applying this test:

      perf xyarray: Fix wrong processing when closing evsel fd · 3d8bba95
      Jin Yao authored 
      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':

I see 'perf record -p <pid>' crashes with following log:

      Merge tag 'enforcement-4.14-rc6' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core

Pull enforcement policy update from Greg KH:
 "Documentation: Add a file explaining the requested Linux kernel
  license enforcement policy

  Here's a new file to the kernel's Documentation directory. It adds a
  short document describing the views of how the Linux kernel community
  feels about enforcing the license of the kernel.

  The patch has been reviewed by a large number of kernel developers
  already, as seen by their acks on the patch, and their agreement of
  the statement with their names on it. The location of the file was
  also agreed upon by the Documentation maintainer, so all should be
  good there.

  For some background information about this statement, see this article
  written by some of the kernel developers involved in drafting it:

	http://kroah.com/log/blog/2017/10/16/linux-kernel-community-enforcement-statement/

  and this article that answers a number of questions that came up in
  the discussion of this statement with the kernel developer community:

	http://kroah.com/log/blog/2017/10/16/linux-kernel-community-enforcement-statement-faq/

  If anyone has any further questions about it, please let me, and the
  TAB members, know and we will be glad to help answer them"
