If the last section of a core file ends with an unmapped or zero page,
the size of the file does not correspond with the last dump_skip() call.
gdb complains that the file is truncated and can be confusing to users.

After all of the vma sections are written, make sure that the file size
is no smaller than the current file position.

This problem can be demonstrated with gdb's bigcore testcase on the
sparc architecture.

Some machines, such as the Lenovo ThinkPad W541 with firmware GNET80WW
(2.28), include memory map entries with phys_addr=0x0 and num_pages=0.

These machines fail to boot after the following commit,

  commit 8e80632fb23f ("efi/esrt: Use efi_mem_reserve() and avoid a kmalloc()")

Fix this by removing such bogus entries from the memory map.

Furthermore, currently the log output for this case (with efi=debug)
looks like:

 [    0.000000] efi: mem45: [Reserved           |   |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  ] range=[0x0000000000000000-0xffffffffffffffff] (0MB)

This is clearly wrong, and also not as informative as it could be.  This
patch changes it so that if we find obviously invalid memory map
entries, we print an error and skip those entries.  It also detects the
display of the address range calculation overflow, so the new output is:

 [    0.000000] efi: [Firmware Bug]: Invalid EFI memory map entries:
 [    0.000000] efi: mem45: [Reserved           |   |  |  |  |  |  |  |   |  |  |  |  ] range=[0x0000000000000000-0x0000000000000000] (invalid)

It also detects memory map sizes that would overflow the physical
address, for example phys_addr=0xfffffffffffff000 and
num_pages=0x0200000000000001, and prints:

 [    0.000000] efi: [Firmware Bug]: Invalid EFI memory map entries:
 [    0.000000] efi: mem45: [Reserved           |   |  |  |  |  |  |  |   |  |  |  |  ] range=[phys_addr=0xfffffffffffff000-0x20ffffffffffffffff] (invalid)

It then removes these entries from the memory map.

<title>perf/x86/intel: Account interrupts for PEBS errors</title>
<updated>2017-01-14T10:06:49+00:00</updated>

<name>Jiri Olsa</name>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.toradex.cn/cgit/linux-toradex.git/commit/?id=475113d937adfd150eb82b5e2c5507125a68e7af'/>
<id>475113d937adfd150eb82b5e2c5507125a68e7af</id>
<content type='text'>
It's possible to set up PEBS events to get only errors and not
any data, like on SNB-X (model 45) and IVB-EP (model 62)
via 2 perf commands running simultaneously:

    taskset -c 1 ./perf record -c 4 -e branches:pp -j any -C 10

This leads to a soft lock up, because the error path of the
intel_pmu_drain_pebs_nhm() does not account event-&gt;hw.interrupt
for error PEBS interrupts, so in case you're getting ONLY
errors you don't have a way to stop the event when it's over
the max_samples_per_tick limit:

  NMI watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#22 stuck for 22s! [perf_fuzzer:5816]
  ...
  RIP: 0010:[&lt;ffffffff81159232&gt;]  [&lt;ffffffff81159232&gt;] smp_call_function_single+0xe2/0x140
  ...
  Call Trace:
   ? trace_hardirqs_on_caller+0xf5/0x1b0
   ? perf_cgroup_attach+0x70/0x70
   perf_install_in_context+0x199/0x1b0
   ? ctx_resched+0x90/0x90
   SYSC_perf_event_open+0x641/0xf90

   do_syscall_64+0x6c/0x1f0
   entry_SYSCALL64_slow_path+0x25/0x25

Add perf_event_account_interrupt() which does the interrupt
and frequency checks and call it from intel_pmu_drain_pebs_nhm()'s
error path.

We keep the pending_kill and pending_wakeup logic only in the
__perf_event_overflow() path, because they make sense only if
there's any data to deliver.

It's possible to set up PEBS events to get only errors and not
any data, like on SNB-X (model 45) and IVB-EP (model 62)
via 2 perf commands running simultaneously:

    taskset -c 1 ./perf record -c 4 -e branches:pp -j any -C 10

This leads to a soft lock up, because the error path of the
intel_pmu_drain_pebs_nhm() does not account event-&gt;hw.interrupt
for error PEBS interrupts, so in case you're getting ONLY
errors you don't have a way to stop the event when it's over
the max_samples_per_tick limit:

  NMI watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#22 stuck for 22s! [perf_fuzzer:5816]
  ...
  RIP: 0010:[&lt;ffffffff81159232&gt;]  [&lt;ffffffff81159232&gt;] smp_call_function_single+0xe2/0x140
  ...
  Call Trace:
   ? trace_hardirqs_on_caller+0xf5/0x1b0
   ? perf_cgroup_attach+0x70/0x70
   perf_install_in_context+0x199/0x1b0
   ? ctx_resched+0x90/0x90
   SYSC_perf_event_open+0x641/0xf90
   SyS_perf_event_open+0x9/0x10
   do_syscall_64+0x6c/0x1f0
   entry_SYSCALL64_slow_path+0x25/0x25

Add perf_event_account_interrupt() which does the interrupt
and frequency checks and call it from intel_pmu_drain_pebs_nhm()'s
error path.

We keep the pending_kill and pending_wakeup logic only in the
__perf_event_overflow() path, because they make sense only if
there's any data to deliver.

Pull btrfs fixes from Chris Mason:
 "These are all over the place.

  The tracepoint part of the pull fixes a crash and adds a little more
  information to two tracepoints, while the rest are good old fashioned
  fixes"

* 'for-linus-4.10' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mason/linux-btrfs:
  btrfs: make tracepoint format strings more compact
  Btrfs: add truncated_len for ordered extent tracepoints
  Btrfs: add 'inode' for extent map tracepoint
  btrfs: fix crash when tracepoint arguments are freed by wq callbacks
  Btrfs: adjust outstanding_extents counter properly when dio write is split
  Btrfs: fix lockdep warning about log_mutex
  Btrfs: use down_read_nested to make lockdep silent
  btrfs: fix locking when we put back a delayed ref that's too new
  btrfs: fix error handling when run_delayed_extent_op fails
  btrfs: return the actual error value from  from btrfs_uuid_tree_iterate

Pull KVM fixes from Paolo Bonzini:

 - fix for module unload vs deferred jump labels (note: there might be
   other buggy modules!)

 - two NULL pointer dereferences from syzkaller

 - also syzkaller: fix emulation of fxsave/fxrstor/sgdt/sidt, problem
   made worse during this merge window, "just" kernel memory leak on
   releases

 - fix emulation of "mov ss" - somewhat serious on AMD, less so on Intel

* tag 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/virt/kvm/kvm:
  KVM: x86: fix emulation of "MOV SS, null selector"
  KVM: x86: fix NULL deref in vcpu_scan_ioapic
  KVM: eventfd: fix NULL deref irqbypass consumer
  KVM: x86: Introduce segmented_write_std
  KVM: x86: flush pending lapic jump label updates on module unload
  jump_labels: API for flushing deferred jump label updates
