- Intel DS and BTS updates. (Alexander Shishkin)
- Intel cstate PMU support. (Kan Liang)
- Add group read support to perf_event_read(). (Peter Zijlstra)

- Enable proper x86/intel/uncore PMU support on multi-segment PCI
systems. (Taku Izumi)
- ... misc fixes and cleanups.
The perf tooling team was very busy again with 200+ commits, the full
diff doesn't fit into lkml size limits. Here's an (incomplete) list
of the tooling highlights:
New features:
- Change the default event used in all tools (record/top): use the
most precise "cycles" hw counter available, i.e. when the user
doesn't specify any event, it will try using cycles:ppp, cycles:pp,
etc and fall back transparently until it finds a working counter.
(Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
- Integration of perf with eBPF that, given an eBPF .c source file
(or .o file built for the 'bpf' target with clang), will get it
automatically built, validated and loaded into the kernel via the
sys_bpf syscall, which can then be used and seen using 'perf trace'
and other tools.
(Wang Nan)
Various user interface improvements:
- Automatic pager invocation on long help output. (Namhyung Kim)
- Search for more options when passing args to -h, e.g.: (Arnaldo
Carvalho de Melo)
$ perf report -h interface
Usage: perf report [<options>]
--gtk Use the GTK2 interface
--stdio Use the stdio interface
--tui Use the TUI interface
- Show ordered command line options when -h is used or when an
unknown option is specified. (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
- If options are passed after -h, show just its descriptions, not all
options. (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
- Implement column based horizontal scrolling in the hists browser
(top, report), making it possible to use the TUI for things like
'perf mem report' where there are many more columns than can fit in
a terminal. (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
- Enhance the error reporting of tracepoint event parsing, e.g.:
$ oldperf record -e sched:sched_switc usleep 1
event syntax error: 'sched:sched_switc'
\___ unknown tracepoint
Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events
Now we get the much nicer:
$ perf record -e sched:sched_switc ls
event syntax error: 'sched:sched_switc'
\___ can't access trace events
Error: No permissions to read /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sched/sched_switc
Hint: Try 'sudo mount -o remount,mode=755 /sys/kernel/debug'
And after we have those mount point permissions fixed:
$ perf record -e sched:sched_switc ls
event syntax error: 'sched:sched_switc'
\___ unknown tracepoint
Error: File /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sched/sched_switc not found.
Hint: Perhaps this kernel misses some CONFIG_ setting to enable this feature?.
I.e. basically now the event parsing routing uses the strerror_open()
routines introduced by and used in 'perf trace' work. (Jiri Olsa)
- Fail properly when pattern matching fails to find a tracepoint,
i.e. '-e non:existent' was being correctly handled, with a proper
error message about that not being a valid event, but '-e
non:existent*' wasn't, fix it. (Jiri Olsa)
- Do event name substring search as last resort in 'perf list'.
(Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
- Accept a zero --itrace period, meaning "as often as possible". In
the case of Intel PT that is the same as a period of 1 and a unit
of 'instructions' (i.e. --itrace=i1i). (Adrian Hunter)
- Harmonize itrace's synthesized callchains with the existing
--max-stack tool option. (Adrian Hunter)
- Allow time to be displayed in nanoseconds in 'perf script'.
(Adrian Hunter)
- Warn when AUX data has been lost, just like when processing
PERF_RECORD_LOST. (Adrian Hunter)
- Further document export-to-postgresql.py script. (Adrian Hunter)
- Add option to synthesize branch stack from auxtrace data. (Adrian
Hunter)
Misc notable changes:
- Switch the default callchain output mode to 'graph,0.5,caller', to
make it look like the default for other tools, reducing the
learning curve for people used to 'caller' based viewing. (Arnaldo
Carvalho de Melo)
- various call chain usability enhancements. (Namhyung Kim)
- Introduce the 'P' event modifier, meaning 'max precision level,
please', i.e.:
$ perf record -e cycles:P usleep 1
Is now similar to:
$ perf record usleep 1
Useful, for instance, when specifying multiple events. (Jiri Olsa)
- Add 'socket' sort entry, to sort by the processor socket in 'perf
top' and 'perf report'. (Kan Liang)
- Introduce --socket-filter to 'perf report', for filtering by
processor socket. (Kan Liang)
- Add new "Zoom into Processor Socket" operation in the perf hists
browser, used in 'perf top' and 'perf report'. (Kan Liang)
- Allow probing on kmodules without DWARF. (Masami Hiramatsu)
- Fix 'perf probe -l' for probes added to kernel module functions.
(Masami Hiramatsu)
- Preparatory work for the 'perf stat record' feature that will allow
generating perf.data files with counting data in addition to the
sampling mode we have now (Jiri Olsa)
- ... plus lots of other enhancements that I failed to list properly,

atomic: remove all traces of READ_ONCE_CTRL() and atomic*_read_ctrl()
This seems to be a mis-reading of how alpha memory ordering works, and
is not backed up by the alpha architecture manual. The helper functions
don't do anything special on any other architectures, and the arguments
that support them being safe on other architectures also argue that they
are safe on alpha.
Basically, the "control dependency" is between a previous read and a
subsequent write that is dependent on the value read. Even if the
subsequent write is actually done speculatively, there is no way that
such a speculative write could be made visible to other cpu's until it
has been committed, which requires validating the speculation.
Note that most weakely ordered architectures (very much including alpha)
do not guarantee any ordering relationship between two loads that depend
on each other on a control dependency:
read A
if (val == 1)
read B
because the conditional may be predicted, and the "read B" may be
speculatively moved up to before reading the value A. So we require the
user to insert a smp_rmb() between the two accesses to be correct:
read A;
if (A == 1)
smp_rmb()
read B
Alpha is further special in that it can break that ordering even if the
*address* of B depends on the read of A, because the cacheline that is
read later may be stale unless you have a memory barrier in between the
pointer read and the read of the value behind a pointer:
read ptr
read offset(ptr)
whereas all other weakly ordered architectures guarantee that the data
dependency (as opposed to just a control dependency) will order the two
accesses. As a result, alpha needs a "smp_read_barrier_depends()" in
between those two reads for them to be ordered.
The coontrol dependency that "READ_ONCE_CTRL()" and "atomic_read_ctrl()"
had was a control dependency to a subsequent *write*, however, and
nobody can finalize such a subsequent write without having actually done
the read. And were you to write such a value to a "stale" cacheline
(the way the unordered reads came to be), that would seem to lose the
write entirely.
So the things that make alpha able to re-order reads even more
aggressively than other weak architectures do not seem to be relevant
for a subsequent write. Alpha memory ordering may be strange, but
there's no real indication that it is *that* strange.
Also, the alpha architecture reference manual very explicitly talks
about the definition of "Dependence Constraints" in section 5.6.1.7,
where a preceding read dominates a subsequent write.
Such a dependence constraint admittedly does not impose a BEFORE (alpha
architecture term for globally visible ordering), but it does guarantee
that there can be no "causal loop". I don't see how you could avoid
such a loop if another cpu could see the stored value and then impact
the value of the first read. Put another way: the read and the write
could not be seen as being out of order wrt other cpus.
So I do not see how these "x_ctrl()" functions can currently be necessary.
I may have to eat my words at some point, but in the absense of clear
proof that alpha actually needs this, or indeed even an explanation of
how alpha could _possibly_ need it, I do not believe these functions are
called for.
And if it turns out that alpha really _does_ need a barrier for this
case, that barrier still should not be "smp_read_barrier_depends()".
We'd have to make up some new speciality barrier just for alpha, along
with the documentation for why it really is necessary.

Pull GPIO updates from Linus Walleij:
"Here is the bulk of GPIO changes for the v4.4 development cycle.
The only changes hitting outside drivers/gpio are in the pin control
subsystem and these seem to have settled nicely in linux-next.
Development mistakes and catfights are nicely documented in the
reverts as you can see. The outcome of the ABI fight is that we're
working on a chardev ABI for GPIO now, where hope to show results for
the v4.5 kernel.
Summary of changes:
GPIO core:
- Define and handle flags for open drain/open collector and open
source/open emitter, also know as "single-ended" configurations.
- Generic request/free operations that handle calling out to the
(optional) pin control backend.
- Some refactoring related to an ABI change that did not happen, yet
provide useful.
- Added a real-time compliance checklist. Many GPIO chips have
irqchips, and need to think this over with the RT patches going
upstream.
- Restructure, fix and clean up Kconfig menus a bit.
New drivers:
- New driver for AMD Promony.
- New driver for ACCES 104-IDIO-16, a port-mapped I/O card,
ISA-style. Very retro.
Subdriver changes:
- OMAP changes to handle real time requirements.
- Handle trigger types for edge and level IRQs on PL061 properly. As
this hardware is very common it needs to set a proper example for
others to follow.
- Some container_of() cleanups.
- Delete the unused MSM driver in favor of the driver that is
embedded inside the pin control driver.
- Cleanup of the ath79 GPIO driver used by many, many OpenWRT router
targets.
- A consolidated IT87xx driver replacing the earlier very specific
IT8761e driver.
- Handle the TI TCA9539 in the PCA953x driver. Also handle ACPI
devices in this subdriver.
- Drop xilinx arch dependencies as these FPGAs seem to profilate over
a few different architectures. MIPS and ARM come to mind"

Pull pin control updates from Linus Walleij:
"This is the big bulk of pin control changes for the v4.4 kernel
development cycle. Development pace is high in pin control again this
merge window. 28 contributors, 83 patches.
It hits a few sites outside the pin control subsystem:
- Device tree bindings in Documentation (as usual)
- MAINTAINERS
- drivers/base/* for the "init" state handling by Doug Anderson.
This has been ACKed by Greg.
- drivers/usb/renesas_usbhs/rcar2.c, for a dependent Renesas change
in the USB subsystem. This has been ACKed by both Greg and Felipe.
- arch/arm/boot/dts/sama5d2.dtsi - this should ideally have gone
through the ARM SoC tree but ended up here.
This time I am using Geert Uytterhoeven as submaintainer for SH PFC
since the are three-four people working in parallel with new Renesas
ASICs.
Summary of changes:
Infrastructure:
- Doug Anderson wrote a patch adding an "init" state different from
the "default" state for pin control state handling in the core
framework. This is applied before the driver's probe() call if
defined and takes precedence over "default". If both are defined,
"init" will be applied *before* probe() and "default" will be
applied *after* probe().
Significant subdriver improvements:
- SH PFC is switched to getting GPIO ranges from the device tree
ranges property on DT platforms.
- Got rid of CONFIG_ARCH_SHMOBILE_LEGACY, we are all modernized.
- Got rid of SH PFC hardcoded IRQ numbers.
- Allwinner sunxi external interrupt through the "r" controller.
- Moved the Cygnus driver to use DT-provided GPIO ranges.
New drivers:
- Atmel PIO4 pin controller for the SAMA4D2 family

- Rockchip RK3036 subdriver

mm: get rid of 'vmalloc_info' from /proc/meminfo
It turns out that at least some versions of glibc end up reading
/proc/meminfo at every single startup, because glibc wants to know the
amount of memory the machine has. And while that's arguably insane,
it's just how things are.
And it turns out that it's not all that expensive most of the time, but
the vmalloc information statistics (amount of virtual memory used in the
vmalloc space, and the biggest remaining chunk) can be rather expensive
to compute.
The 'get_vmalloc_info()' function actually showed up on my profiles as
4% of the CPU usage of "make test" in the git source repository, because
the git tests are lots of very short-lived shell-scripts etc.
It turns out that apparently this same silly vmalloc info gathering
shows up on the facebook servers too, according to Dave Jones. So it's
not just "make test" for git.
We had two patches to just cache the information (one by me, one by
Ingo) to mitigate this issue, but the whole vmalloc information of of
rather dubious value to begin with, and people who *actually* want to
know what the situation is wrt the vmalloc area should just look at the
much more complete /proc/vmallocinfo instead.
In fact, according to my testing - and perhaps more importantly,
according to that big search engine in the sky: Google - there is
nothing out there that actually cares about those two expensive fields:
VmallocUsed and VmallocChunk.
So let's try to just remove them entirely. Actually, this just removes
the computation and reports the numbers as zero for now, just to try to
be minimally intrusive.
If this breaks anything, we'll obviously have to re-introduce the code
to compute this all and add the caching patches on top. But if given
the option, I'd really prefer to just remove this bad idea entirely
rather than add even more code to work around our historical mistake
that likely nobody really cares about.

Merge branch 'fs-file-descriptor-optimization'
Merge file descriptor allocation speedup.
Eric Dumazet has a test-case for a fairly common network deamon load
pattern: openign and closing a lot of sockets that each have very little
work done on them. It turns out that in that case, the cost of just
finding the correct file descriptor number can be a dominating factor.
We've long had a trivial optimization for allocating file descriptors
sequentially, but that optimization ends up being not very effective
when other file descriptors are being closed concurrently, and the fd
patterns are not some simple FIFO pattern. In such cases we ended up
spending a lot of time just scanning the bitmap of open file descriptors
in order to find the next file descriptor number to open.
This trivial patch-series mitigates that by simply introducing a
second-level bitmap of which words in the first bitmap are already fully
allocated. That cuts down the cost of scanning by an order of magnitude
in some pathological (but realistic) cases.
The second patch is an even more trivial patch to avoid unnecessarily
dirtying the cacheline for the close-on-exec bit array that normally
ends up being all empty.

This patch largely fixes it. We keep a 2nd-level bitmap of the open
file bitmaps, showing which words are already full. So then we can
traverse that second-level bitmap to efficiently skip already allocated
file descriptors.
On his benchmark, this improves performance by up to an order of
magnitude, by avoiding the excessive open file bitmap scanning.
