The previous approach based on the variance was discarding values from
the timings when they were considered as anomalies as stated by the
normal law statistical model.
However in the interrupt life, there can be multiple anomalies due to the
nature of the device generating the interrupts, and most of the time a
repeating pattern can be observed, that is particulary true for network,
console, MMC or SSD devices.
The variance approach missed the patterns and it was only able to deal with
the interrupt coming in regular intervals, thus reducing considerably the
scope of what is predictable.
In order to find out the repeating patterns, the interrupt intervals are
grouped in a ilog2 basis to create a suite of numbers with small
amplitude. Every group contains an exponential moving average of the values
belonging to the group. The array suffix, a data structure used for string
searching, data compression, etc ..., is built from the suite of numbers
and the suffixes are then searched in this suite.
The tests showed the algorithm is able to find all repeating patterns,
as well as regular interval in less than 1us on x86-i7.

The variance computation did not provide the expected results and will be
replaced with a different approach to compute the next interrupt based on
the array suffixes derived algorithm.
There is no good way to transform the variance code to the new algorithm,
so for ease of review remove the existing code first.

When irq_set_affinity_notifier() replaces the notifier, then the
reference count on the old notifier is dropped which causes it to be
freed. But nothing ensures that the old notifier is not longer queued
in the work list. If it is queued this results in a use after free and
possibly in work list corruption.
Ensure that the work is canceled before the reference is dropped.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/acme/linux into perf/urgent
Pull perf/core improvements and fixes from Arnaldo:
kernel:
Stephane Eranian :
- Restore mmap record type correctly when handling PERF_RECORD_MMAP2
events, as the same template is used for all the threads interested
in mmap events, some may want just PERF_RECORD_MMAP, while some
may want the extra info in MMAP2 records.
perf probe:
Adrian Hunter:
- Fix getting the kernel map, because since changes related to x86 PTI
entry trampolines handling, there are more than one kernel map.
perf script:
Andi Kleen:
- Support insn output for normal samples, i.e.:
perf script -F ip,sym,insn --xed
Will fetch the sample IP from the thread address space and feed it
to Intel's XED disassembler, producing lines such as:
ffffffffa4068804 native_write_msr wrmsr
ffffffffa415b95e __hrtimer_next_event_base movq 0x18(%rax), %rdx
That match 'perf annotate's output.
- Make the --cpu filter apply to PERF_RECORD_COMM/FORK/... events, in
addition to PERF_RECORD_SAMPLE.
perf report:
- Add a new --samples option to save a small random number of samples
per hist entry, using a reservoir technique to select a representative
number of samples.
Then allow browsing the samples using 'perf script' as part of the hist
entry context menu. This automatically adds the right filters, so only
the thread or CPU of the sample is displayed. Then we use less' search
functionality to directly jump to the time stamp of the selected sample.
It uses different menus for assembler and source display. Assembler
needs xed installed and source needs debuginfo.
- Fix the UI browser scripts pop up menu when there are many scripts
available.
perf report:
Andi Kleen:
- Add 'time' sort option. E.g.:
% perf report --sort time,overhead,symbol --time-quantum 1ms --stdio

tools headers:
Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:
- Update x86's syscall_64.tbl, no change in tools/perf behaviour.
- Sync copies asm-generic/unistd.h and linux/in with the kernel sources.
perf data:
Jiri Olsa:
- Prep work to support having perf.data stored as a directory, with one
file per CPU, that ultimately will allow having one ring buffer reading
thread per CPU.
Vendor events:
Martin Liška:
- perf PMU events for AMD Family 17h.
perf script python:
Tony Jones:
- Add python3 support for the remaining Intel PT related scripts, with
these we should have a clean build of perf with python3 while still
supporting the build with python2.
libbpf:
Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:
- Fix the build on uCLibc, adding the missing stdarg.h since we use
va_list in one typedef.

The futex code requires that the user space addresses of futexes are 32bit
aligned. sys_futex() checks this in futex_get_keys() but the robust list
code has no alignment check in place.
As a consequence the kernel crashes on architectures with strict alignment
requirements in handle_futex_death() when trying to cmpxchg() on an
unaligned futex address which was retrieved from the robust list.

The LLC NOHZ condition will become true as soon as >=2 CPUs in a
single LLC domain are busy. On big.LITTLE systems, this translates to
two or more CPUs of a "cluster" (big or LITTLE) being busy.
Issuing a NOHZ kick in these conditions isn't desired for asymmetric
systems, as if the busy CPUs can provide enough compute capacity to
the running tasks, then we can leave the NOHZ CPUs in peace.
Skip the LLC NOHZ condition for asymmetric systems, and rely on
nr_running & capacity checks to trigger NOHZ kicks when the system
actually needs them.

In this commit:
3b1baa6496e6 ("sched/fair: Add 'group_misfit_task' load-balance type")
we set rq->misfit_task_load whenever the current running task has a
utilization greater than 80% of rq->cpu_capacity. A non-zero value in
this field enables misfit load balancing.
However, if the task being looked at is already running on a CPU of
highest capacity, there's nothing more we can do for it. We can
currently spot this in update_sd_pick_busiest(), which prevents us
from selecting a sched_group of group_type == group_misfit_task as the
busiest group, but we don't do any of that in nohz_balancer_kick().
This means that we could repeatedly kick NOHZ CPUs when there's no
improvements in terms of load balance to be done.
Introduce a check_misfit_status() helper that returns true iff there
is a CPU in the system that could give more CPU capacity to a rq's
misfit task - IOW, there exists a CPU of higher capacity_orig or the
rq's CPU is severely pressured by rt/IRQ.

Vincent Wang reported that get_next_freq() has a mult overflow bug on
32-bit platforms in the IOWAIT boost case, since in that case {util,max}
are in freq units instead of capacity units.
Solve this by moving the IOWAIT boost to capacity units. And since this
means @max is constant; simplify the code.

Pull pidfd system call from Christian Brauner:
"This introduces the ability to use file descriptors from /proc/<pid>/
as stable handles on struct pid. Even if a pid is recycled the handle
will not change. For a start these fds can be used to send signals to
the processes they refer to.
With the ability to use /proc/<pid> fds as stable handles on struct
pid we can fix a long-standing issue where after a process has exited
its pid can be reused by another process. If a caller sends a signal
to a reused pid it will end up signaling the wrong process.
With this patchset we enable a variety of use cases. One obvious
example is that we can now safely delegate an important part of
process management - sending signals - to processes other than the
parent of a given process by sending file descriptors around via scm
rights and not fearing that the given process will have been recycled
in the meantime. It also allows for easy testing whether a given
process is still alive or not by sending signal 0 to a pidfd which is
quite handy.
There has been some interest in this feature e.g. from systems
management (systemd, glibc) and container managers. I have requested
and gotten comments from glibc to make sure that this syscall is
suitable for their needs as well. In the future I expect it to take on
most other pid-based signal syscalls. But such features are left for
the future once they are needed.
This has been sitting in linux-next for quite a while and has not
caused any issues. It comes with selftests which verify basic
functionality and also test that a recycled pid cannot be signaled via
a pidfd.
Jon has written about a prior version of this patchset. It should
cover the basic functionality since not a lot has changed since then:
https://lwn.net/Articles/773459/
The commit message for the syscall itself is extensively documenting
the syscall, including it's functionality and extensibility"

Pull device-dax updates from Dan Williams:
"New device-dax infrastructure to allow persistent memory and other
"reserved" / performance differentiated memories, to be assigned to
the core-mm as "System RAM".
Some users want to use persistent memory as additional volatile
memory. They are willing to cope with potential performance
differences, for example between DRAM and 3D Xpoint, and want to use
typical Linux memory management apis rather than a userspace memory
allocator layered over an mmap() of a dax file. The administration
model is to decide how much Persistent Memory (pmem) to use as System
RAM, create a device-dax-mode namespace of that size, and then assign
it to the core-mm. The rationale for device-dax is that it is a
generic memory-mapping driver that can be layered over any "special
purpose" memory, not just pmem. On subsequent boots udev rules can be
used to restore the memory assignment.
One implication of using pmem as RAM is that mlock() no longer keeps
data off persistent media. For this reason it is recommended to enable
NVDIMM Security (previously merged for 5.0) to encrypt pmem contents
at rest. We considered making this recommendation an actively enforced
requirement, but in the end decided to leave it as a distribution /
administrator policy to allow for emulation and test environments that
lack security capable NVDIMMs.
Summary:
- Replace the /sys/class/dax device model with /sys/bus/dax, and
include a compat driver so distributions can opt-in to the new ABI.
- Allow for an alternative driver for the device-dax address-range
- Introduce the 'kmem' driver to hotplug / assign a device-dax
address-range to the core-mm.
- Arrange for the device-dax target-node to be onlined so that the
newly added memory range can be uniquely referenced by numa apis"
NOTE! I'm not entirely happy with the whole "PMEM as RAM" model because
we currently have special - and very annoying rules in the kernel about
accessing PMEM only with the "MC safe" accessors, because machine checks
inside the regular repeat string copy functions can be fatal in some
(not described) circumstances.
And apparently the PMEM modules can cause that a lot more than regular
RAM. The argument is that this happens because PMEM doesn't necessarily
get scrubbed at boot like RAM does, but that is planned to be added for
the user space tooling.
Quoting Dan from another email:
"The exposure can be reduced in the volatile-RAM case by scanning for
and clearing errors before it is onlined as RAM. The userspace tooling
for that can be in place before v5.1-final. There's also runtime
notifications of errors via acpi_nfit_uc_error_notify() from
background scrubbers on the DIMM devices. With that mechanism the
kernel could proactively clear newly discovered poison in the volatile
case, but that would be additional development more suitable for v5.2.
I understand the concern, and the need to highlight this issue by
tapping the brakes on feature development, but I don't see PMEM as RAM
making the situation worse when the exposure is also there via DAX in
the PMEM case. Volatile-RAM is arguably a safer use case since it's
possible to repair pages where the persistent case needs active
application coordination"

Since alloc_trace_*probe() returns -EINVAL only if !event && !group,
it should not happen in trace_*probe_create(). If we catch that case
there is a bug. So use WARN_ON_ONCE() instead of pr_info().

As reported back in 2016-11 [1], the "ftdump" kdb command triggers a
BUG for "sleeping function called from invalid context".
kdb's "ftdump" command wants to call ring_buffer_read_prepare() in
atomic context. A very simple solution for this is to add allocation
flags to ring_buffer_read_prepare() so kdb can call it without
triggering the allocation error. This patch does that.
Note that in the original email thread about this, it was suggested
that perhaps the solution for kdb was to either preallocate the buffer
ahead of time or create our own iterator. I'm hoping that this
alternative of adding allocation flags to ring_buffer_read_prepare()
can be considered since it means I don't need to duplicate more of the
core trace code into "trace_kdb.c" (for either creating my own
iterator or re-preparing a ring allocator whose memory was already
allocated).
NOTE: another option for kdb is to actually figure out how to make it
reuse the existing ftrace_dump() function and totally eliminate the
duplication. This sounds very appealing and actually works (the "sr
z" command can be seen to properly dump the ftrace buffer). The
downside here is that ftrace_dump() fully consumes the trace buffer.
Unless that is changed I'd rather not use it because it means "ftdump
| grep xyz" won't be very useful to search the ftrace buffer since it
will throw away the whole trace on the first grep. A future patch to
dump only the last few lines of the buffer will also be hard to
implement.

Pull vfs mount infrastructure updates from Al Viro:
"The rest of core infrastructure; no new syscalls in that pile, but the
old parts are switched to new infrastructure. At that point
conversions of individual filesystems can happen independently; some
are done here (afs, cgroup, procfs, etc.), there's also a large series
outside of that pile dealing with NFS (quite a bit of option-parsing
stuff is getting used there - it's one of the most convoluted
filesystems in terms of mount-related logics), but NFS bits are the
next cycle fodder.
It got seriously simplified since the last cycle; documentation is
probably the weakest bit at the moment - I considered dropping the
commit introducing Documentation/filesystems/mount_api.txt (cutting
the size increase by quarter ;-), but decided that it would be better
to fix it up after -rc1 instead.
That pile allows to do followup work in independent branches, which
should make life much easier for the next cycle. fs/super.c size
increase is unpleasant; there's a followup series that allows to
shrink it considerably, but I decided to leave that until the next
cycle"

do_proc_do[u]intvec_minmax_conv() had included open-coded versions of
do_proc_do[u]intvec_conv(); the duplication led to buggy inconsistencies
(missing range checks). To reduce the likelihood of such problems in the
future, we can instead refactor both to be defined in terms of their
non-bounded counterparts (plus the added check).

As a minimal fix we can simply duplicate the corresponding check in

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
"The biggest change for this release is in the histogram code:
- Add "onchange(var)" histogram handler that executes a action when
$var changes.
- Add new "snapshot()" action for histogram handlers, that causes a
snapshot of the ring buffer when triggered. ie.
onchange(var).snapshot() will trigger a snapshot if var changes.
- Add alternative for "trace()" action. Currently, to trigger a
synthetic event, the name of that event is used as the handler
name, which is inconsistent with the other actions.
onchange(var).synthetic(param) where it can now be
onchange(var).trace(synthetic, param). The older method will still
be allowed, as long as the synthetic events do not overlap with
other handler names.
- The histogram documentation at testcases were updated for the new
changes.
Outside of the histogram code, we have:
- Added a quicker way to enable set_ftrace_filter files, that will
make it much quicker to bisect tracing a function that shouldn't be
traced and crashes the kernel. (You can echo in numbers to
set_ftrace_filter, and it will select the corresponding function
that is in available_filter_functions).
- Some better displaying of the tracing data (and more information
was added).
The rest are small fixes and more clean ups to the code"

On mmap(), perf_events generates a RECORD_MMAP record and then checks
which events are interested in this record. There are currently 2
versions of mmap records: RECORD_MMAP and RECORD_MMAP2. MMAP2 is larger.
The event configuration controls which version the user level tool
accepts.
If the event->attr.mmap2=1 field then MMAP2 record is returned. The
perf_event_mmap_output() takes care of this. It checks attr->mmap2 and
corrects the record fields before putting it in the sampling buffer of
the event. At the end the function restores the modified MMAP record
fields.
The problem is that the function restores the size but not the type.
Thus, if a subsequent event only accepts MMAP type, then it would
instead receive an MMAP2 record with a size of MMAP record.
This patch fixes the problem by restoring the record type on exit.
