* Documentation: Explain pci=conf1,conf2 more verboselyBorislav Petkov2016-01-141-4/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | People complained that setting the PCI config space access mechanism through "pci=conf1" or "pci=conf2" on the command line is not really documented. Yeah, can you blame them? Look at what we have now. So try to improve the situation a bit by explaining what those "conf1" and "conf2" things actually mean. See http://wiki.osdev.org/PCI for more info.

* init, Documentation: Remove ramdisk_blocksize mentionsRobert Elliott2015-12-262-10/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The brd driver has never supported the ramdisk_blocksize kernel parameter that was in the rd driver it replaced, so remove mention of this parameter from comments and Documentation. Commit 9db5579be4bb ("rewrite rd") replaced rd with brd, keeping a brd_blocksize variable in struct brd_device but never using it. Commit a2cba2913c76 ("brd: get rid of unused members from struct brd_device") removed the unused variable. Commit f5abc8e75815 ("Documentation/blockdev/ramdisk.txt: updates") removed mentions of ramdisk_blocksize from that file.

* kernel-doc: Fix parsing of DECLARE_BITMAP in structConchúr Navid2015-11-211-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some documented structures in the kernel use DECLARE_BITMAP to create arrays of unsigned longs to store information using the bitmap functions. These have to be replaced with a parsable version for kernel-doc. For example a simple input like /** * struct something - some test * @members: active members */ struct something { DECLARE_BITMAP(members, MAX_MEMBERS); }; resulted in parsing warnings like warning: No description found for parameter 'MAX_MEMBERS)' warning: Excess struct/union/enum/typedef member 'members' description in 'something' Signed-off-by: Conchúr Navid <conchur@web.de> Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some enumerations in the kernel headers use #ifdef to reduce their size based on the the configuration. These lines have to be stripped to avoid parsing problems. For example a simple input like /** * enum flags - test flags * @flag1: first flag * @flag2: second flag */ enum flags { flag1 = BIT(0), #ifdef SECOND_FLAG flag2 = BIT(1), #endif }; resulted in parsing warnings like warning: Enum value '#ifdef SECOND_FLAG;flag2 = BIT(1)' not described in enum 'flags' warning: Enum value '#endif;' not described in enum 'flags' Signed-off-by: Conchúr Navid <conchur@web.de> Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The regex to strip single line #define's in enumerations depends on the fact that the defines are still stored on separate lines. But the surrounding code already removed newlines and replaced them with semicolons. For example a simple input like /** * enum flags - test flags * @flag1: first flag * @flag2: second flag * @flag3: third flag * @flag4: fourth flag */ enum flags { flag1 = BIT(0), flag2 = BIT(1), #define flags_small (flag1 | flag2) flag3 = BIT(2), flag4 = BIT(3), #define flags_big (flag2 | flag3) }; resulted in parsing warnings like warning: Enum value '#define flags_small (flag1 | flag2);flag3 = BIT(2)' not described in enum 'flags' warning: Enum value '#define flags_big (flag2 | flag3);' not described in enum 'flags' Signed-off-by: Conchúr Navid <conchur@web.de> Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net>

This patch fixes it by adding parameter validation at the entry of probe_file__get_events() and probe_file__get_rawlist(). Since they are both non-static public functions (in .h file), parameter verifying is required. v1 -> v2: Verify fd at the head of probe_file__get_rawlist() instead of checking at call site (suggested by Masami and Arnaldo at [1,2]).

| * perf: Fix inherited events vs. tracepoint filtersPeter Zijlstra2015-11-091-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Arnaldo reported that tracepoint filters seem to misbehave (ie. not apply) on inherited events. The fix is obvious; filters are only set on the actual (parent) event, use the normal pattern of using this parent event for filters. This is safe because each child event has a reference to it.

| * perf: Disable IRQs across RCU RS CS that acquires scheduler lockPaul E. McKenney2015-11-091-8/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The perf_lock_task_context() function disables preemption across its RCU read-side critical section because that critical section acquires a scheduler lock. If there was a preemption during that RCU read-side critical section, the rcu_read_unlock() could attempt to acquire scheduler locks, resulting in deadlock. However, recent optimizations to expedited grace periods mean that IPI handlers that execute during preemptible RCU read-side critical sections can now cause the subsequent rcu_read_unlock() to acquire scheduler locks. Disabling preemption does nothiing to prevent these IPI handlers from executing, so these optimizations introduced a deadlock. In theory, this deadlock could be avoided by pulling all wakeups and printk()s out from rnp->lock critical sections, but in practice this would re-introduce some RCU CPU stall warning bugs. Given that acquiring scheduler locks entails disabling interrupts, these deadlocks can be avoided by disabling interrupts (instead of disabling preemption) across any RCU read-side critical that acquires scheduler locks and holds them across the rcu_read_unlock(). This commit therefore makes this change for perf_lock_task_context(). Reported-by: Dave Jones <davej@codemonkey.org.uk> Reported-by: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Signed-off-by: Paul E.

Dynamically embeddeding it into 'llvm-src-base.c'. The newly introduced BPF program attaches a BPF program to 'sys_epoll_pwait()'. perf itself never use that syscall, so further test can verify their result with it. The program would generate 1 sample in every 2 calls of epoll_pwait() system call. Since the resulting BPF object is useful per se for further tests, test_llvm__fetch_bpf_obj() is introduced for creating BPF objects from source. The LLVM test was rewritten to use it.

Note it would be even better to handle these errors smarter, like falling back to the binary when the debug info is somehow corrupted. But for now just giving a better error is an improvement.
