commit 1e0d6714aceb770b04161fbedd7765d0e1fc27bd upstream.

When an application connects to the ring buffer via splice, it can only
read full pages. Splice does not work with partial pages. If there is
not enough data to fill a page, the splice command will either block
or return -EAGAIN (if set to nonblock).

Code was added where if the page is not full, to just sleep again.
The problem is, it will get woken up again on the next event. That
is, when something is written into the ring buffer, if there is a waiter
it will wake it up. The waiter would then check the buffer, see that
it still does not have enough data to fill a page and go back to sleep.
To make matters worse, when the waiter goes back to sleep, it could
cause another event, which would wake it back up again to see it
doesn't have enough data and sleep again. This produces a tremendous
overhead and fills the ring buffer with noise.

For example, recording sched_switch on an idle system for 10 seconds
produces 25,350,475 events!!!

Create another wait queue for those waiters wanting full pages.
When an event is written, it only wakes up waiters if there's a full
page of data. It does not wake up the waiter if the page is not yet
full.

After this change, recording sched_switch on an idle system for 10
seconds produces only 800 events. Getting rid of 25,349,675 useless
events (99.9969% of events!!), is something to take seriously.

commit 7215853e985a4bef1a6c14e00e89dfec84f1e457 upstream.

Commit 6edb2a8a385f0cdef51dae37ff23e74d76d8a6ce introduced
an array map_pages that contains the addresses returned by
kmap_atomic. However, when unmapping those pages, map_pages[0]
is unmapped before map_pages[1], breaking the nesting requirement
as specified in the documentation for kmap_atomic/kunmap_atomic.

This was caught by the highmem debug code present in kunmap_atomic.
Fix the loop to do the unmapping properly.

Pull ftrace fixes from Steven Rostedt:
 "This holds a few fixes to the ftrace infrastructure as well as the
  mixture of function graph tracing and kprobes.

  When jprobes and function graph tracing is enabled at the same time it
  will crash the system:

      # modprobe jprobe_example
      # echo function_graph &gt; /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/current_tracer

  After the first fork (jprobe_example probes it), the system will
  crash.

  This is due to the way jprobes copies the stack frame and does not do
  a normal function return.  This messes up with the function graph
  tracing accounting which hijacks the return address from the stack and
  replaces it with a hook function.  It saves the return addresses in a
  separate stack to put back the correct return address when done.  But
  because the jprobe functions do not do a normal return, their stack
  addresses are not put back until the function they probe is called,
  which means that the probed function will get the return address of
  the jprobe handler instead of its own.

  The simple fix here was to disable function graph tracing while the
  jprobe handler is being called.

  While debugging this I found two minor bugs with the function graph
  tracing.

  The first was about the function graph tracer sharing its function
  hash with the function tracer (they both get filtered by the same
  input).  The changing of the set_ftrace_filter would not sync the
  function recording records after a change if the function tracer was
  disabled but the function graph tracer was enabled.  This was due to
  the update only checking one of the ops instead of the shared ops to
  see if they were enabled and should perform the sync.  This caused the
  ftrace accounting to break and a ftrace_bug() would be triggered,
  disabling ftrace until a reboot.

  The second was that the check to update records only checked one of
  the filter hashes.  It needs to test both the "filter" and "notrace"
  hashes.  The "filter" hash determines what functions to trace where as
  the "notrace" hash determines what functions not to trace (trace all
  but these).  Both hashes need to be passed to the update code to find
  out what change is being done during the update.  This also broke the
  ftrace record accounting and triggered a ftrace_bug().

  This patch set also include two more fixes that were reported
  separately from the kprobe issue.

  One was that init_ftrace_syscalls() was called twice at boot up.  This
  is not a major bug, but that call performed a rather large kmalloc
  (NR_syscalls * sizeof(*syscalls_metadata)).  The second call made the
  first one a memory leak, and wastes memory.

  The other fix is a regression caused by an update in the v3.19 merge
  window.  The moving to enable events early, moved the enabling before
  PID 1 was created.  The syscall events require setting the
  TIF_SYSCALL_TRACEPOINT for all tasks.  But for_each_process_thread()
  does not include the swapper task (PID 0), and ended up being a nop.

  A suggested fix was to add the init_task() to have its flag set, but I
  didn't really want to mess with PID 0 for this minor bug.  Instead I
  disable and re-enable events again at early_initcall() where it use to
  be enabled.  This also handles any other event that might have its own
  reg function that could break at early boot up"

Commit 5f893b2639b2 "tracing: Move enabling tracepoints to just after
rcu_init()" broke the enabling of system call events from the command
line. The reason was that the enabling of command line trace events
was moved before PID 1 started, and the syscall tracepoints require
that all tasks have the TIF_SYSCALL_TRACEPOINT flag set. But the
swapper task (pid 0) is not part of that. Since the swapper task is the
only task that is running at this early in boot, no task gets the
flag set, and the tracepoint never gets reached.

Instead of setting the swapper task flag (there should be no reason to
do that), re-enabled trace events again after the init thread (PID 1)
has been started. It requires disabling all command line events and
re-enabling them, as just enabling them again will not reset the logic
to set the TIF_SYSCALL_TRACEPOINT flag, as the syscall tracepoint will
be fooled into thinking that it was already set, and wont try setting
it again. For this reason, we must first disable it and re-enable it.

trace_init() calls init_ftrace_syscalls() and then calls trace_event_init()
which also calls init_ftrace_syscalls(). It makes more sense to only
call it from trace_event_init().

Calling it twice wastes memory, as it allocates the syscall events twice,
and loses the first copy of it.

Using just the filter for checking for trampolines or regs is not enough
when updating the code against the records that represent all functions.
Both the filter hash and the notrace hash need to be checked.

To trigger this bug (using trace-cmd and perf):

 # perf probe -a do_fork
 # trace-cmd start -B foo -e probe
 # trace-cmd record -p function_graph -n do_fork sleep 1

The trace-cmd record at the end clears the filter before it disables
function_graph tracing and then that causes the accounting of the
ftrace function records to become incorrect and causes ftrace to bug.

<title>ftrace: Fix updating of filters for shared global_ops filters</title>

<id>8f86f83709c585742dea5dd7f0d2b79c43f992ec</id>
<content type='text'>
As the set_ftrace_filter affects both the function tracer as well as the
function graph tracer, the ops that represent each have a shared
ftrace_ops_hash structure. This allows both to be updated when the filter
files are updated.

But if function graph is enabled and the global_ops (function tracing) ops
is not, then it is possible that the filter could be changed without the
update happening for the function graph ops. This will cause the changes
to not take place and may even cause a ftrace_bug to occur as it could mess
with the trampoline accounting.

The solution is to check if the ops uses the shared global_ops filter and
if the ops itself is not enabled, to check if there's another ops that is
enabled and also shares the global_ops filter. In that case, the
modification still needs to be executed.

function graph tracer, the ops that represent each have a shared
ftrace_ops_hash structure. This allows both to be updated when the filter
files are updated.

But if function graph is enabled and the global_ops (function tracing) ops
is not, then it is possible that the filter could be changed without the
update happening for the function graph ops. This will cause the changes
to not take place and may even cause a ftrace_bug to occur as it could mess
with the trampoline accounting.

The solution is to check if the ops uses the shared global_ops filter and
if the ops itself is not enabled, to check if there's another ops that is
enabled and also shares the global_ops filter. In that case, the
modification still needs to be executed.

Pull kgdb/kdb fixes from Jason Wessel:
 "These have been around since 3.17 and in kgdb-next for the last 9
  weeks and some will go back to -stable.

  Summary of changes:

  Cleanups
   - kdb: Remove unused command flags, repeat flags and KDB_REPEAT_NONE

  Fixes
   - kgdb/kdb: Allow access on a single core, if a CPU round up is
     deemed impossible, which will allow inspection of the now "trashed"
     kernel
   - kdb: Add enable mask for the command groups
   - kdb: access controls to restrict sensitive commands"

* tag 'for_linus-3.19-rc4' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jwessel/kgdb:

Pull more ACPI and power management updates from Rafael Wysocki:
 "These are regression fixes (leds-gpio, ACPI backlight driver,
  operating performance points library, ACPI device enumeration
  messages, cpupower tool), other bug fixes (ACPI EC driver, ACPI device
  PM), some cleanups in the operating performance points (OPP)
  framework, continuation of CONFIG_PM_RUNTIME elimination, a couple of
  minor intel_pstate driver changes, a new MAINTAINERS entry for it and
  an ACPI fan driver change needed for better support of thermal
  management in user space.

  Specifics:

   - Fix a regression in leds-gpio introduced by a recent commit that
     inadvertently changed the name of one of the properties used by the
     driver (Fabio Estevam).

   - Fix a regression in the ACPI backlight driver introduced by a
     recent fix that missed one special case that had to be taken into
     account (Aaron Lu).

   - Drop the level of some new kernel messages from the ACPI core
     introduced by a recent commit to KERN_DEBUG which they should have
     used from the start and drop some other unuseful KERN_ERR messages
     printed by ACPI (Rafael J Wysocki).

   - Revert an incorrect commit modifying the cpupower tool (Prarit
     Bhargava).

   - Fix two regressions introduced by recent commits in the OPP library
     and clean up some existing minor issues in that code (Viresh
     Kumar).

   - Continue to replace CONFIG_PM_RUNTIME with CONFIG_PM throughout the
     tree (or drop it where that can be done) in order to make it
     possible to eliminate CONFIG_PM_RUNTIME (Rafael J Wysocki, Ulf
     Hansson, Ludovic Desroches).

     There will be one more "CONFIG_PM_RUNTIME removal" batch after this
     one, because some new uses of it have been introduced during the
     current merge window, but that should be sufficient to finally get
     rid of it.

   - Make the ACPI EC driver more robust against race conditions related
     to GPE handler installation failures (Lv Zheng).

   - Prevent the ACPI device PM core code from attempting to disable
     GPEs that it has not enabled which confuses ACPICA and makes it
     report errors unnecessarily (Rafael J Wysocki).

   - Add a "force" command line switch to the intel_pstate driver to
     make it possible to override the blacklisting of some systems in
     that driver if needed (Ethan Zhao).

   - Improve intel_pstate code documentation and add a MAINTAINERS entry
     for it (Kristen Carlson Accardi).

   - Make the ACPI fan driver create cooling device interfaces witn
     names that reflect the IDs of the ACPI device objects they are
     associated with, except for "generic" ACPI fans (PNP ID "PNP0C0B").

     That's necessary for user space thermal management tools to be able
     to connect the fans with the parts of the system they are supposed
     to be cooling properly.  From Srinivas Pandruvada"

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
 "As the merge window is still open, and this code was not as complex as
  I thought it might be.  I'm pushing this in now.

  This will allow Thomas to debug his irq work for 3.20.

  This adds two new features:

  1) Allow traceopoints to be enabled right after mm_init().

     By passing in the trace_event= kernel command line parameter,
     tracepoints can be enabled at boot up.  For debugging things like
     the initialization of interrupts, it is needed to have tracepoints
     enabled very early.  People have asked about this before and this
     has been on my todo list.  As it can be helpful for Thomas to debug
     his upcoming 3.20 IRQ work, I'm pushing this now.  This way he can
     add tracepoints into the IRQ set up and have users enable them when
     things go wrong.

  2) Have the tracepoints printed via printk() (the console) when they
     are triggered.

     If the irq code locks up or reboots the box, having the tracepoint
     output go into the kernel ring buffer is useless for debugging.
     But being able to add the tp_printk kernel command line option
     along with the trace_event= option will have these tracepoints
     printed as they occur, and that can be really useful for debugging
     early lock up or reboot problems.

  This code is not that intrusive and it passed all my tests.  Thomas
  tried them out too and it works for his needs.
