tools/power turbostat: Use $(CURDIR) instead of $(PWD) and add support for O= option in Makefile

2015-05-06T19:56:26+00:00

commit f82263c6989c31ae9b94cecddffb29dcbec38710 upstream.

Since commit ee0778a30153
("tools/power: turbostat: make Makefile a bit more capable")
turbostat's Makefile is using

  [...]
  BUILD_OUTPUT    := $(PWD)
  [...]

which obviously causes trouble when building "turbostat" with

  make -C /usr/src/linux/tools/power/x86/turbostat ARCH=x86 turbostat

because GNU make does not update nor guarantee that $PWD is set.

This patch changes the Makefile to use $CURDIR instead, which GNU make
guarantees to set and update (i.e. when using "make -C ...") and also
adds support for the O= option (see "make help" in your root of your
kernel source tree for more details).

perf session: Do not fail on processing out of order event

2015-01-16T14:59:03+00:00

commit f61ff6c06dc8f32c7036013ad802c899ec590607 upstream.

Linus reported perf report command being interrupted due to processing
of 'out of order' event, with following error:

  Timestamp below last timeslice flush
  0x5733a8 [0x28]: failed to process type: 3

I could reproduce the issue and in my case it was caused by one CPU
(mmap) being behind during record and userspace mmap reader seeing the
data after other CPUs data were already stored.

This is expected under some circumstances because we need to limit the
number of events that we queue for reordering when we receive a
PERF_RECORD_FINISHED_ROUND or when we force flush due to memory
pressure.

[zhangzhiqiang: backport to 3.10:
 - adjust context
 - commit f61ff6c06d struct events_stats was defined in tools/perf/util/event.h
   while 3.10 stable defined in tools/perf/util/hist.h.
 - 3.10 stable there is no pr_oe_time() which used for debug.
 - After the above adjustments, becomes same to the original patch:

userns: Unbreak the unprivileged remount tests

2015-01-08T17:58:17+00:00

commit db86da7cb76f797a1a8b445166a15cb922c6ff85 upstream.

A security fix in caused the way the unprivileged remount tests were
using user namespaces to break.  Tweak the way user namespaces are
being used so the test works again.

mnt: Update unprivileged remount test

2015-01-08T17:58:16+00:00

commit 4a44a19b470a886997d6647a77bb3e38dcbfa8c5 upstream.

- MNT_NODEV should be irrelevant except when reading back mount flags,
  no longer specify MNT_NODEV on remount.

- Test MNT_NODEV on devpts where it is meaningful even for unprivileged mounts.

- Add a test to verify that remount of a prexisting mount with the same flags
  is allowed and does not change those flags.

- Cleanup up the definitions of MS_REC, MS_RELATIME, MS_STRICTATIME that are used
  when the code is built in an environment without them.

- Correct the test error messages when tests fail.  There were not 5 tests
  that tested MS_RELATIME.

perf kmem: Make it work again on non NUMA machines

2014-10-05T21:54:14+00:00

commit 4921e320244e099bdf237fd10428594ce5f5b87d upstream.

The commit '2814eb0 perf kmem: Remove die() calls' disabled 'perf kmem'
command for machines without numa support. It made the command fail if
'/sys/devices/system/node' dir wasn't found.

Skipping the numa based initialization in case the directory is not
found and continue execution.

mnt: Add tests for unprivileged remount cases that have found to be faulty

2014-09-17T16:04:00+00:00

commit db181ce011e3c033328608299cd6fac06ea50130 upstream.

Kenton Varda  discovered that by remounting a
read-only bind mount read-only in a user namespace the
MNT_LOCK_READONLY bit would be cleared, allowing an unprivileged user
to the remount a read-only mount read-write.

Upon review of the code in remount it was discovered that the code allowed
nosuid, noexec, and nodev to be cleared.  It was also discovered that
the code was allowing the per mount atime flags to be changed.

The first naive patch to fix these issues contained the flaw that using
default atime settings when remounting a filesystem could be disallowed.

To avoid this problems in the future add tests to ensure unprivileged
remounts are succeeding and failing at the appropriate times.

commit f35f71244da6e51db4e1f2c7e318581f498ececf upstream.

It appears that no one ever run ffs-test on a big-endian machine,
since it used cpu-endianess for fs_count and hs_count fields which
should be in little-endian format.  Fix by wrapping the numbers in
cpu_to_le32.

turbostat: Use GCC's CPUID functions to support PIC

2014-02-13T21:48:00+00:00

commit 2b92865e648ce04a39fda4f903784a5d01ecb0dc upstream.

turbostat uses inline assembly to call cpuid.  On 32-bit x86, on systems
that have certain security features enabled by default that make -fPIC
the default, this causes a build error:

turbostat.c: In function ‘check_cpuid’:
turbostat.c:1906:2: error: PIC register clobbered by ‘ebx’ in ‘asm’
  asm("cpuid" : "=a" (fms), "=c" (ecx), "=d" (edx) : "a" (1) : "ebx");
  ^

GCC provides a header cpuid.h, containing a __get_cpuid function that
works with both PIC and non-PIC.  (On PIC, it saves and restores ebx
around the cpuid instruction.)  Use that instead.

turbostat: Don't put unprocessed uapi headers in the include path

2014-02-13T21:48:00+00:00

commit b731f3119de57144e16c19fd593b8daeb637843e upstream.

turbostat's Makefile puts arch/x86/include/uapi/ in the include path, so
that it can include  from it.  It isn't in general safe to
include even uapi headers directly from the kernel tree without
processing them through scripts/headers_install.sh, but asm/msr.h
happens to work.

However, that include path can break with some versions of system
headers, by overriding some system headers with the unprocessed versions
directly from the kernel source.  For instance:

In file included from /build/x86-generic/usr/include/bits/sigcontext.h:28:0,
                 from /build/x86-generic/usr/include/signal.h:339,
                 from /build/x86-generic/usr/include/sys/wait.h:31,
                 from turbostat.c:27:
../../../../arch/x86/include/uapi/asm/sigcontext.h:4:28: fatal error: linux/compiler.h: No such file or directory

This occurs because the system bits/sigcontext.h on that build system
includes , and asm/sigcontext.h in the kernel source
includes , which scripts/headers_install.sh would have
filtered out.

Since turbostat really only wants a single header, just include that one
header rather than putting an entire directory of kernel headers on the
include path.

In the process, switch from msr.h to msr-index.h, since turbostat just
wants the MSR numbers.
