      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 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':

 "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:

  This would cause an oops. 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. This is why this is also marked for stable"

      ALSA: hda - Fix incorrect TLV callback check introduced during set_fs() removal · a91d6612
      Takashi Iwai authored 
      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.

Enabling both the TRACE_EVENT_FN() and DEFINE_EVENT_FN() example trace

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

      fs: Avoid invalidation in interrupt context in dio_complete() · ffe51f01
      Lukas Czerner authored 
      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.

Fix it by adding a stub event handler for namespace event.

Committer testing:

Further clarifying, plain using 'perf buildid-list' will not end up in a
SEGFAULT when processing a perf.data file with namespace info:

  # perf record -a --namespaces sleep 1
  [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 2.024 MB perf.data (1058 samples) ]
  # perf buildid-list | wc -l
  38
  # perf buildid-list | head -5

It is only when one asks for checking what of those entries actually had
samples, i.e. when we use either -H or --with-hits, that we will process
all the PERF_RECORD_ events, and since tools/perf/builtin-buildid-list.c
neither explicitely set a perf_tool.namespaces() callback nor the
default stub was set that we end up, when processing a
PERF_RECORD_NAMESPACE record, causing a SEGFAULT:

  # perf buildid-list -H
  Segmentation fault (core dumped)
  ^C

      perf record: Fix documentation for a inexistent option '-l' · 3f50f614
      Taeung Song authored 
      'perf record' had a '-l' option that meant "scale counter values" a very
long time ago, but it currently belongs to 'perf stat' as '-c'.  So
remove it. I found this problem in the below case.

    $ perf record -e cycles -l sleep 3
      Error: unknown switch `l
