Session sets a number parameters that rely on evlist. These parameters are not used in pipe-mode and should not be set, since evlist is unavailable. Fix that.

__perf_session__process_pipe_events reuses the same memory buffer to process all events in the pipe. When reordering is needed (e.g. -b option), events are not immediately flushed, but kept around until reordering is possible, causing memory corruption. The problem is usually observed by a "Unknown sample error" output. It can easily be reproduced by: perf record -o - noploop | perf inject -b > output Committer testing: Before: $ perf record -o - stress -t 2 -c 2 | perf inject -b > /dev/null stress: info: [8297] dispatching hogs: 2 cpu, 0 io, 0 vm, 0 hdd stress: info: [8297] successful run completed in 2s [ perf record: Woken up 3 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.000 MB - ] Warning: Found 1 unknown events!

All paths following perf_session__process_event() in __cmd_inject() are useless if __cmd_inject() is to fail, some depend on a correct session->evlist. First commit to add code that depends on session->evlist without checking error was commmit e558a5bd ("perf inject: Work with files"). It has grown since then. Change __cmd_inject() to fail immediately after perf_session__process_event() fails.

since 4.10 perf annotate exits on s390 with an "unknown error -95". Turns out that commit 786c1b51 ("perf annotate: Start supporting cross arch annotation") added a hard requirement for architecture support when objdump is used but only provided x86 and arm support. Meanwhile power was added so lets add s390 as well. While at it make sure to implement the branch and jump types.

The kernel has a special check for a specific irq_vectors trace event. TRACE_EVENT_PERF_PERM(irq_work_exit, is_sampling_event(p_event) ? -EPERM : 0); The perf-record fails for this irq_vectors event when it is present, like when using a wildcard: root@skl:/tmp# perf record -a -e irq_vectors:* sleep 2 Error: You may not have permission to collect system-wide stats. Consider tweaking /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_paranoid, which controls use of the performance events system by unprivileged users (without CAP_SYS_ADMIN). The current value is 2: -1: Allow use of (almost) all events by all users >= 0: Disallow raw tracepoint access by users without CAP_IOC_LOCK >= 1: Disallow CPU event access by users without CAP_SYS_ADMIN >= 2: Disallow kernel profiling by users without CAP_SYS_ADMIN To make this setting permanent, edit /etc/sysctl.conf too, e.g.: kernel.perf_event_paranoid = -1 This patch prints out the exact sub event that failed with EPERM for wildcards to help in understanding what went wrong when this event is present: After the patch: root@skl:/tmp# perf record -a -e irq_vectors:* sleep 2 Error: No permission to enable irq_vectors:irq_work_exit event. You may not have permission to collect system-wide stats. ...... Committer notes: So we have a lot of irq_vectors events: [root@jouet ~]# perf list irq_vectors:* List of pre-defined events (to be used in -e): irq_vectors:call_function_entry [Tracepoint event] irq_vectors:call_function_exit [Tracepoint event] irq_vectors:call_function_single_entry [Tracepoint event] irq_vectors:call_function_single_exit [Tracepoint event] irq_vectors:deferred_error_apic_entry [Tracepoint event] irq_vectors:deferred_error_apic_exit [Tracepoint event] irq_vectors:error_apic_entry [Tracepoint event] irq_vectors:error_apic_exit [Tracepoint event] irq_vectors:irq_work_entry [Tracepoint event] irq_vectors:irq_work_exit [Tracepoint event] irq_vectors:local_timer_entry [Tracepoint event] irq_vectors:local_timer_exit [Tracepoint event] irq_vectors:reschedule_entry [Tracepoint event] irq_vectors:reschedule_exit [Tracepoint event] irq_vectors:spurious_apic_entry [Tracepoint event] irq_vectors:spurious_apic_exit [Tracepoint event] irq_vectors:thermal_apic_entry [Tracepoint event] irq_vectors:thermal_apic_exit [Tracepoint event] irq_vectors:threshold_apic_entry [Tracepoint event] irq_vectors:threshold_apic_exit [Tracepoint event] irq_vectors:x86_platform_ipi_entry [Tracepoint event] irq_vectors:x86_platform_ipi_exit [Tracepoint event] # And some may be sampled: [root@jouet ~]# perf record -e irq_vectors:local* sleep 20s [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.020 MB perf.data (2 samples) ] [root@jouet ~]# perf report -D | egrep 'stats:|events:' Aggregated stats: TOTAL events: 155 MMAP events: 144 COMM events: 2 EXIT events: 1 SAMPLE events: 2 MMAP2 events: 4 FINISHED_ROUND events: 1 TIME_CONV events: 1 irq_vectors:local_timer_entry stats: TOTAL events: 1 SAMPLE events: 1 irq_vectors:local_timer_exit stats: TOTAL events: 1 SAMPLE events: 1 [root@jouet ~]# But, as shown in the tracepoint definition at the start of this message, some, like "irq_vectors:irq_work_exit", may not be sampled, just counted, i.e. if we try to sample, as when using 'perf record', we get an error: [root@jouet ~]# perf record -e irq_vectors:irq_work_exit Error: You may not have permission to collect system-wide stats. Consider tweaking /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_paranoid, <SNIP> The error message is misleading, this patch will help in pointing out what is the event causing such an error, but the error message needs improvement, i.e. we need to figure out a way to check if a tracepoint is counting only, like this one, when all we can do is to count it with 'perf stat', at most printing the delta using interval printing, as in: [root@jouet ~]# perf stat -I 5000 -e irq_vectors:irq_work_* # time counts unit events 5.000168871 0 irq_vectors:irq_work_entry 5.000168871 0 irq_vectors:irq_work_exit 10.000676730 0 irq_vectors:irq_work_entry 10.000676730 0 irq_vectors:irq_work_exit 15.001122415 0 irq_vectors:irq_work_entry 15.001122415 0 irq_vectors:irq_work_exit 20.001298051 0 irq_vectors:irq_work_entry 20.001298051 0 irq_vectors:irq_work_exit 25.001485020 1 irq_vectors:irq_work_entry 25.001485020 1 irq_vectors:irq_work_exit 30.001658706 0 irq_vectors:irq_work_entry 30.001658706 0 irq_vectors:irq_work_exit ^C 32.045711878 0 irq_vectors:irq_work_entry 32.045711878 0 irq_vectors:irq_work_exit [root@jouet ~]# But at least, when we use a wildcard, this patch helps a bit.

Pull block fixes from Jens Axboe: "Here's a pull request for 4.11-rc, fixing a set of issues mostly centered around the new scheduling framework. These have been brewing for a while, but split up into what we absolutely need in 4.11, and what we can defer until 4.12. These are well tested, on both single queue and multiqueue setups, and with and without shared tags. They fix several hangs that have happened in testing. This is obviously larger than I would have preferred at this point in time, but I don't think we can shave much off this and still get the desired results. In detail, this pull request contains: - a set of five fixes for NVMe, mostly from Christoph and one from Roland. - a series from Bart, fixing issues with dm-mq and SCSI shared tags and scheduling. Note that one of those patches commit messages may read like an optimization, but it is in fact an important fix for queue restarts in particular. - a series from Omar, most importantly fixing a hang with multiple hardware queues when we fail to get a driver tag. Another important fix in there is for resizing hardware queues, which nbd does when handling multiple sockets for one connection. - fixing an imbalance in putting the ctx for hctx request allocations from Minchan" * 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block: blk-mq: Restart a single queue if tag sets are shared dm rq: Avoid that request processing stalls sporadically scsi: Avoid that SCSI queues get stuck blk-mq: Introduce blk_mq_delay_run_hw_queue() blk-mq: remap queues when adding/removing hardware queues blk-mq-sched: fix crash in switch error path blk-mq-sched: set up scheduler tags when bringing up new queues blk-mq-sched: refactor scheduler initialization blk-mq: use the right hctx when getting a driver tag fails nvmet: fix byte swap in nvmet_parse_io_cmd nvmet: fix byte swap in nvmet_execute_write_zeroes nvmet: add missing byte swap in nvmet_get_smart_log nvme: add missing byte swap in nvme_setup_discard nvme: Correct NVMF enum values to match NVMe-oF rev 1.0 block: do not put mq context in blk_mq_alloc_request_hctx

Pull pin control fix from Linus Walleij: "This late fix for pin control is hopefully the last I send this cycle. The problem was detected early in the v4.11 release cycle and there has been some back and forth on how to solve it. Sadly the proper fix arrives late, but at least not too late. An issue was detected with pin control on the Freescale i.MX after the refactorings for more general group and function handling. We now have the proper fix for this" * tag 'pinctrl-v4.11-4' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/linusw/linux-pinctrl: pinctrl: core: Fix pinctrl_register_and_init() with pinctrl_enable()

Currently, inputting the following command will succeed but actually the value will be truncated: # echo 0x12ffffffff > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_notsent_lowat This is not friendly to the user, so instead, we should report error when the value is larger than UINT_MAX.

ops->show() can return a negative error code. Commit 65da3484 ("sysfs: correctly handle short reads on PREALLOC attrs.") (in v4.4) caused this to be stored in an unsigned 'size_t' variable, so errors would look like large numbers. As a result, if an error is returned, sysfs_kf_read() will return the value of 'count', typically 4096. Commit 17d0774f ("sysfs: correctly handle read offset on PREALLOC attrs") (in v4.8) extended this error to use the unsigned large 'len' as a size for memmove(). Consequently, if ->show returns an error, then the first read() on the sysfs file will return 4096 and could return uninitialized memory to user-space. If the application performs a subsequent read, this will trigger a memmove() with extremely large count, and is likely to crash the machine is bizarre ways. This bug can currently only be triggered by reading from an md sysfs attribute declared with __ATTR_PREALLOC() during the brief period between when mddev_put() deletes an mddev from the ->all_mddevs list, and when mddev_delayed_delete() - which is scheduled on a workqueue - completes. Before this, an error won't be returned by the ->show() After this, the ->show() won't be called. I can reproduce it reliably only by putting delay like usleep_range(500000,700000); early in mddev_delayed_delete(). Then after creating an md device md0 run echo clear > /sys/block/md0/md/array_state; cat /sys/block/md0/md/array_state The bug can be triggered without the usleep.

A patch documenting how to specify which kernels a particular fix should be backported to (seemingly) inadvertently added a minus sign after the kernel version. This particular stable-tag format had never been used prior to this patch, and was neither present when the patch in question was first submitted (it was added in v2 without any comment). Drop the minus sign to avoid any confusion. Fixes: fdc81b79 ("stable_kernel_rules: Add clause about specification of kernel versions to patch.")

vfs_llseek will check whether the file mode has FMODE_LSEEK, no return failure. But ashmem can be lseek, so add FMODE_LSEEK to ashmem file. Comment From Greg Hackmann: ashmem_llseek() passes the llseek() call through to the backing shmem file. 91360b02 ("ashmem: use vfs_llseek()") changed this from directly calling the file's llseek() op into a VFS layer call. This also adds a check for the FMODE_LSEEK bit, so without that bit ashmem_llseek() now always fails with -ESPIPE.

Pull audit cleanup from Paul Moore: "A week later than I had hoped, but as promised, here is the audit uninline-fix we talked about during the last audit pull request. The patch is slightly different than what we originally discussed as it made more sense to keep the audit_signal_info() function in auditsc.c rather than move it and bunch of other related variables/definitions into audit.c/audit.h. At some point in the future I need to look at how the audit code is organized across kernel/audit*, I suspect we could do things a bit better, but it doesn't seem like a -rc release is a good place for that ;) Regardless, this patch passes our tests without problem and looks good for v4.11" * 'stable-4.11' of git://git.infradead.org/users/pcmoore/audit: audit: move audit_signal_info() into kernel/auditsc.c

We currently have 2 specific WQ_RECLAIM workqueues in the mm code. vmstat_wq for updating pcp stats and lru_add_drain_wq dedicated to drain per cpu lru caches. This seems more than necessary because both can run on a single WQ. Both do not block on locks requiring a memory allocation nor perform any allocations themselves. We will save one rescuer thread this way. On the other hand drain_all_pages() queues work on the system wq which doesn't have rescuer and so this depend on memory allocation (when all workers are stuck allocating and new ones cannot be created). Initially we thought this would be more of a theoretical problem but Hugh Dickins has reported: : 4.11-rc has been giving me hangs after hours of swapping load. At : first they looked like memory leaks ("fork: Cannot allocate memory"); : but for no good reason I happened to do "cat /proc/sys/vm/stat_refresh" : before looking at /proc/meminfo one time, and the stat_refresh stuck : in D state, waiting for completion of flush_work like many kworkers. : kthreadd waiting for completion of flush_work in drain_all_pages(). This worker should be using WQ_RECLAIM as well in order to guarantee a forward progress. We can reuse the same one as for lru draining and vmstat.
