Improve the sampling buffer allocation and add a function to reallocate and increase the sampling buffer structure. The number of allocated buffer elements (sample-data-blocks) are accounted. You can control the minimum and maximum number these sample-data-blocks through the cpum_sfb_size kernel parameter. The number hardware sample overflows (if any) are also accounted and stored per perf event. During the PMU disable/enable calls, the accumulated overflow counter is analyzed and, if necessary, the sampling buffer is dynamically increased. Signed-off-by:

allocated_pages sometimes are increased even if s390_dma_alloc fails also this value is never decreased even if s390_dma_free is called. This patch fixes these bugs. Also remove the atomic64_t casts (the members are already of this type). Reviewed-by:

If we receive a notification that a pci function became unavailable we clean up by removing the pci device. This can confuse the driver since the function is already unaccessible. Improve this situation by setting an appropriate error_state. Reviewed-by:

If we remove a pci bus after receiving a hotplug notification we need to check if the bus is actually present (creation of the pci bus during an earlier notification may have been failed). Reviewed-by:

Initialization and scanning of the pci bus is omitted on older machines without pci support or if pci=off was specified. Remember the fact that we ran without pci support and prevent further bus scans during resume from hibernate or after receiving hotplug notifications. Reported-by:

The cpum_cf (counter facility) PMU does not support sampling events. With cpum_sf (sampling facility), a PMU for sampling CPU cycles is available. Make cpum_sf the "default" PMU for PERF_COUNT_HW_CPU_CYCLES sampling events but use the more precise cpum_cf PMU for non-sampling events. Signed-off-by:

Introduce a perf PMU, "cpum_sf", to support the CPU-Measurement Sampling Facility. You can control the sampling facility through this perf PMU interfaces. Perf sampling events are created for hardware samples. For details about the CPU-Measurement Sampling Facility, see "The Load-Program-Parameter and the CPU-Measurement Facilities" (SA23-2260).

Extract and move the oprofile hwsampler data structures and interfaces to the cpu_mf.h header file which contains common interface definitions for the various CPU-measurement facilities. This change is necessary for a new perf PMU. Few interface names have been revised to fit to the latest CPU-measurement facilities documentation. Also declare the data structures as __packed and correct checkpatch findings. Signed-off-by:

-
Hendrik Brueckner authored
The early sclp detect functions gather the available SCLP facility information. The sclp_early_read_info_sccb_valid indicates whether the early sclp request was valid. However, one external reference to it checks for particular sclp facility bits and this should be sufficient. Another occurance is in the sclp_get_ipl_info() function that is called later. Because all information are available at the early stage, save the ipl information when detecting the sclp facilities. Hence, no more checks for sclp_early_read_info_sccb_valid are required.

The deactivation and freeing of the tty view of the 3270 device can race with a tty3270_update invocation via the update timer. To fix this move the del_timer_sync call for the update timer from tty3270_free_view to tty3270_free prior to the tty3270_free_screen call. Signed-off-by: -

Subchannel looping function for_each_subchannel_staged() allocates a subchannel-ID-bitmap to efficiently iterate over the list of known and unknown subchannels. Since this function is also used to iterate over known-subchannels only, optimize that case by not requiring the ID-bitmap allocation and falling back to simple bus_for_each_dev() looping.

The CIO layer scans for newly available I/O devices by performing a scan of available subchannels using the Store Subchannel (STSCH) instruction. Performing too many STSCH instructions in a tight loop can cause high Hypervisor overhead which can negatively impact the performance of the virtual machine as a whole. A subchannel scan is triggered for example during a hardware event that indicates that a channel path has become available. It is also triggered by the DASD device driver for each device that is set online. This patch reduces the number of STSCH instructions being performed by delaying the start of the actual subchannel scan by 1 second. Multiple scan requests that are scheduled during this time will be merged into a single scan loop. The trade-off consists of a short delay that is introduced between the time that the event is processed and a newly available device becoming usable. This delay should be acceptable since it only affects devices that have not been in use before. Signed-off-by:

The CIO layer scans for newly available I/O devices by performing a scan of available subchannels using the Store Subchannel (STSCH) instruction. This processing can take a significant amount of time during which no other task can run on the same CPU (unless CONFIG_PREEMPT has been enabled). As a result, scheduling latencies for other tasks are increased noticeably, especially on a single-CPU system. Fix this problem by explicitly allowing other tasks to be scheduled each time a subchannel has been processed. Signed-off-by:

The CIO layer processes hardware events that indicate that a channel path has become available by performing a scan of available subchannels using the Store Subchannel (STSCH) instruction. Performing too many STSCH instructions in a tight loop can cause high Hypervisor overhead which can negatively impact the performance of the virtual machine as a whole. This patch reduces the number of STSCH instructions performed while processing a resource accessibility event and while varying a CHPID online. In both cases, Linux first performs a STSCH instruction on each unused subchannel to see if the subchannel has become available. If the STSCH instruction indicates that the subchannel is available, a full evaluation of this subchannel is scheduled. Since the full evaluation includes performing a STSCH instruction, the initial STSCH is unnecessary and can be removed. Signed-off-by:

For NUMA systems, initializing the blk-mq layer and using per node hctx. We initialize submit queues to 1, while blk-mq nr_hw_queues is initialized to the number of NUMA nodes. This makes the null_init_hctx function overwrite memory outside of what it allocated. In my case it lead to writing garbage into struct request_queue's mq_map. Signed-off-by:

Pull networking fixes from David Miller: 1) Revert CHECKSUM_COMPLETE optimization in pskb_trim_rcsum(), I can't figure out why it breaks things. 2) Fix comparison in netfilter ipset's hash_netnet4_data_equal(), it was basically doing "x == x", from Dave Jones. 3) Freescale FEC driver was DMA mapping the wrong number of bytes, from Sebastian Siewior. 4) Blackhole and prohibit routes in ipv6 were not doing the right thing because their ->input and ->output methods were not being assigned correctly. Now they behave properly like their ipv4 counterparts. From Kamala R. 5) Several drivers advertise the NETIF_F_FRAGLIST capability, but really do not support this feature and will send garbage packets if fed fraglist SKBs. From Eric Dumazet. 6) Fix long standing user triggerable BUG_ON over loopback in RDS protocol stack, from Venkat Venkatsubra. 7) Several not so common code paths can potentially try to invoke packet scheduler actions that might be NULL without checking. Shore things up by either 1) defining a method as mandatory and erroring on registration if that method is NULL 2) defininig a method as optional and the registration function hooks up a default implementation when NULL is seen. From Jamal Hadi Salim. 8) Fix fragment detection in xen-natback driver, from Paul Durrant. 9) Kill dangling enter_memory_pressure method in cg_proto ops, from Eric W Biederman. 10) SKBs that traverse namespaces should have their local_df cleared, from Hannes Frederic Sowa. 11) IOCB file position is not being updated by macvtap_aio_read() and tun_chr_aio_read(). From Zhi Yong Wu. 12) Don't free virtio_net netdev before releasing all of the NAPI instances. From Andrey Vagin. 13) Procfs entry leak in xt_hashlimit, from Sergey Popovich. 14) IPv6 routes that are no cached routes should not count against the garbage collection limits. We had this almost right, but were missing handling addrconf generated routes properly. From Hannes Frederic Sowa. 15) fib{4,6}_rule_suppress() have to consider potentially seeing NULL route info when they are called, from Stefan Tomanek. 16) TUN and MACVTAP have had truncated packet signalling for some time, fix from Jason Wang. 17) Fix use after frrr in __udp4_lib_rcv(), from Eric Dumazet. 18) xen-netback does not interpret the NAPI budget properly for TX work, fix from Paul Durrant. * git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net: (132 commits) igb: Fix for issue where values could be too high for udelay function. i40e: fix null dereference xen-netback: fix gso_prefix check net: make neigh_priv_len in struct net_device 16bit instead of 8bit drivers: net: cpsw: fix for cpsw crash when build as modules xen-netback: napi: don't prematurely request a tx event xen-netback: napi: fix abuse of budget sch_tbf: use do_div() for 64-bit divide udp: ipv4: must add synchronization in udp_sk_rx_dst_set() net:fec: remove duplicate lines in comment about errata ERR006358 Revert "8390 : Replace ei_debug with msg_enable/NETIF_MSG_* feature" 8390 : Replace ei_debug with msg_enable/NETIF_MSG_* feature xen-netback: make sure skb linear area covers checksum field net: smc91x: Fix device tree based configuration so it's usable udp: ipv4: fix potential use after free in udp_v4_early_demux() macvtap: signal truncated packets tun: unbreak truncated packet signalling net: sched: htb: fix the calculation of quantum net: sched: tbf: fix the calculation of max_size micrel: add support for KSZ8041RNLI ... -

This reverts commit 102aefdd. Tom London reports that it causes sync() to hang on Fedora rawhide: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1033965 and Josh Boyer bisected it down to this commit. Reverting the commit in the rawhide kernel fixes the problem. Eric Paris root-caused it to incorrect subtype matching in that commit breaking fuse, and has a tentative patch, but by now we're better off retrying this in 3.14 rather than playing with it any more.
