For powerpc64, redundant entries in the callchain are filtered out by determining the state of the return address and the stack frame using DWARF debug information. For making these filtering decisions we must analyze the debug information for the location corresponding to the program counter value, i.e. the first entry in the callchain, and not the LR value; otherwise, perf may filter out either the second or the third entry in the callchain incorrectly. This can be observed on a powerpc64le system running Fedora 27 as shown below. Case 1 - Attaching a probe at inet_pton+0x8 (binary offset 0x15af28). Return address is still in LR and a new stack frame is not yet allocated. The LR value, i.e. the second entry, should not be filtered out. # objdump -d /usr/lib64/libc-2.26.so | less ... 000000000010eb10 <gaih_inet.constprop.7>: ... 10fa48: 78 bb e4 7e mr r4,r23 10fa4c: 0a 00 60 38 li r3,10 10fa50: d9 b4 04 48 bl 15af28 <inet_pton+0x8> 10fa54: 00 00 00 60 nop 10fa58: ac f4 ff 4b b 10ef04 <gaih_inet.constprop.7+0x3f4> ... 0000000000110450 <getaddrinfo>: ... 1105a8: 54 00 ff 38 addi r7,r31,84 1105ac: 58 00 df 38 addi r6,r31,88 1105b0: 69 e5 ff 4b bl 10eb18 <gaih_inet.constprop.7+0x8> 1105b4: 78 1b 71 7c mr r17,r3 1105b8: 50 01 7f e8 ld r3,336(r31) ... 000000000015af20 <inet_pton>: 15af20: 0b 00 4c 3c addis r2,r12,11 15af24: e0 c1 42 38 addi r2,r2,-15904 15af28: a6 02 08 7c mflr r0 15af2c: f0 ff c1 fb std r30,-16(r1) 15af30: f8 ff e1 fb std r31,-8(r1) ... # perf probe -x /usr/lib64/libc-2.26.so -a inet_pton+0x8 # perf record -e probe_libc:inet_pton -g ping -6 -c 1 ::1 # perf script Before: ping 4507 [002] 514985.546540: probe_libc:inet_pton: (7fffa7dbaf28) 7fffa7dbaf28 __GI___inet_pton+0x8 (/usr/lib64/libc-2.26.so) 7fffa7d705b4 getaddrinfo+0x164 (/usr/lib64/libc-2.26.so) 13fb52d70 _init+0xbfc (/usr/bin/ping) 7fffa7c836a0 generic_start_main.isra.0+0x140 (/usr/lib64/libc-2.26.so) 7fffa7c83898 __libc_start_main+0xb8 (/usr/lib64/libc-2.26.so) 0 [unknown] ([unknown]) After: ping 4507 [002] 514985.546540: probe_libc:inet_pton: (7fffa7dbaf28) 7fffa7dbaf28 __GI___inet_pton+0x8 (/usr/lib64/libc-2.26.so) 7fffa7d6fa54 gaih_inet.constprop.7+0xf44 (/usr/lib64/libc-2.26.so) 7fffa7d705b4 getaddrinfo+0x164 (/usr/lib64/libc-2.26.so) 13fb52d70 _init+0xbfc (/usr/bin/ping) 7fffa7c836a0 generic_start_main.isra.0+0x140 (/usr/lib64/libc-2.26.so) 7fffa7c83898 __libc_start_main+0xb8 (/usr/lib64/libc-2.26.so) 0 [unknown] ([unknown]) Case 2 - Attaching a probe at _int_malloc+0x180 (binary offset 0x9cf10).

With commit eca0fa28 ("perf record: Provide detailed information on s390 CPU") s390 platform provides detailed type/model/capacity information in the CPU identifier string instead of just "IBM/S390". This breaks 'perf kvm' support which uses hard coded string IBM/S390 to compare with the CPU identifier string. Fix this by changing the comparison. Reported-by:

The 'perf stat' command line flag -T to display transaction counters is currently supported for x86 only. Add support for s390. It is based on the metrics flag -M transaction using the architecture dependent JSON files. This requires a metric named "transaction" in the JSON files for the platform. Introduce a new function metricgroup__has_metric() to check for the existence of a metric_name transaction. As suggested by Andi Kleen, this is the new approach to support transactions counters. Other architectures will follow. Output before: [root@p23lp27 perf]# ./perf stat -T -- sleep 1 Cannot set up transaction events [root@p23lp27 perf]# Output after: [root@s35lp76 perf]# ./perf stat -T -- ~/mytesttx 1 >/tmp/111 Performance counter stats for '/root/mytesttx 1': 1 tx_c_tend # 13.0 transaction 1 tx_nc_tend 11 tx_nc_tabort 0 tx_c_tabort_special 0 tx_c_tabort_no_special 0.001070109 seconds time elapsed [root@s35lp76 perf]# Suggested-by:Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by:

Like vm_area_dup(), it initializes the anon_vma_chain head, and the basic mm pointer. The rest of the fields end up being different for different users, although the plan is to also initialize the 'vm_ops' field to a dummy entry. Signed-off-by: -

.. and re-initialize th eanon_vma_chain head. This removes some boiler-plate from the users, and also makes it clear why it didn't need use the 'zalloc()' version. Signed-off-by: -

The vm_area_struct is one of the most fundamental memory management objects, but the management of it is entirely open-coded evertwhere, ranging from allocation and freeing (using kmem_cache_[z]alloc and kmem_cache_free) to initializing all the fields. We want to unify this in order to end up having some unified initialization of the vmas, and the first step to this is to at least have basic allocation functions. Right now those functions are literally just wrappers around the kmem_cache_*() calls. This is a purely mechanical conversion: # new vma: kmem_cache_zalloc(vm_area_cachep, GFP_KERNEL) -> vm_area_alloc() # copy old vma kmem_cache_alloc(vm_area_cachep, GFP_KERNEL) -> vm_area_dup(old) # free vma kmem_cache_free(vm_area_cachep, vma) -> vm_area_free(vma) to the point where the old vma passed in to the vm_area_dup() function isn't even used yet (because I've left all the old manual initialization alone).

It was reported that a kernel crash happened in mem_cgroup_iter(), which can be triggered if the legacy cgroup-v1 non-hierarchical mode is used. Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 6b6b6b6b6b6b8f ...... Call trace: mem_cgroup_iter+0x2e0/0x6d4 shrink_zone+0x8c/0x324 balance_pgdat+0x450/0x640 kswapd+0x130/0x4b8 kthread+0xe8/0xfc ret_from_fork+0x10/0x20 mem_cgroup_iter(): ...... if (css_tryget(css)) <-- crash here break; ...... The crashing reason is that mem_cgroup_iter() uses the memcg object whose pointer is stored in iter->position, which has been freed before and filled with POISON_FREE(0x6b). And the root cause of the use-after-free issue is that invalidate_reclaim_iterators() fails to reset the value of iter->position to NULL when the css of the memcg is released in non- hierarchical mode.

__split_huge_pmd_locked() must check if the cleared huge pmd was dirty, and propagate that to PageDirty: otherwise, data may be lost when a huge tmpfs page is modified then split then reclaimed. How has this taken so long to be noticed? Because there was no problem when the huge page is written by a write system call (shmem_write_end() calls set_page_dirty()), nor when the page is allocated for a write fault (fault_dirty_shared_page() calls set_page_dirty()); but when allocated for a read fault (which MAP_POPULATE simulates), no set_page_dirty().

In parse_options(), if match_strdup() failed, parse_options() leaves opts->iocharset in unexpected state (i.e. still pointing the freed string). And this can be the cause of double free.

Commit 26f09e9b ("mm/memblock: add memblock memory allocation apis") introduced two new function definitions: memblock_virt_alloc_try_nid_nopanic() memblock_virt_alloc_try_nid() and commit ea1f5f37 ("mm: define memblock_virt_alloc_try_nid_raw") introduced the following function definition: memblock_virt_alloc_try_nid_raw() This commit adds an include of header file <linux/bootmem.h> to provide the missing function prototypes. This silences the following gcc warning (W=1): mm/memblock.c:1334:15: warning: no previous prototype for `memblock_virt_alloc_try_nid_raw' [-Wmissing-prototypes] mm/memblock.c:1371:15: warning: no previous prototype for `memblock_virt_alloc_try_nid_nopanic' [-Wmissing-prototypes] mm/memblock.c:1407:15: warning: no previous prototype for `memblock_virt_alloc_try_nid' [-Wmissing-prototypes] Also adds #ifdef blockers to prevent compilation failure on mips/ia64 where CONFIG_NO_BOOTMEM=n as could be seen in commit commit 6cc22dc0 ("revert "mm/memblock: add missing include <linux/bootmem.h>""). Because Makefile already does: obj-$(CONFIG_HAVE_MEMBLOCK) += memblock.o The #ifdef has been simplified from: #if defined(CONFIG_HAVE_MEMBLOCK) && defined(CONFIG_NO_BOOTMEM) to simply: #if defined(CONFIG_NO_BOOTMEM) Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20180626184422.24974-1-malat@debian.orgSigned-off-by:
