proc: proc_skip_spaces() shouldn't think it is working on C strings

2022-12-08T10:16:33+00:00

commit bce9332220bd677d83b19d21502776ad555a0e73 upstream.

proc_skip_spaces() seems to think it is working on C strings, and ends
up being just a wrapper around skip_spaces() with a really odd calling
convention.

Instead of basing it on skip_spaces(), it should have looked more like
proc_skip_char(), which really is the exact same function (except it
skips a particular character, rather than whitespace).  So use that as
inspiration, odd coding and all.

Now the calling convention actually makes sense and works for the
intended purpose.

proc: avoid integer type confusion in get_proc_long

2022-12-08T10:16:33+00:00

commit e6cfaf34be9fcd1a8285a294e18986bfc41a409c upstream.

proc_get_long() is passed a size_t, but then assigns it to an 'int'
variable for the length.  Let's not do that, even if our IO paths are
limited to MAX_RW_COUNT (exactly because of these kinds of type errors).

So do the proper test in the rigth type.

perf: Add sample_flags to indicate the PMU-filled sample data

2022-12-08T10:16:32+00:00

[ Upstream commit 3aac580d5cc3001ca1627725b3b61edb529f341d ]

On some platforms, some data e.g., timestamps, can be retrieved from
the PMU driver. Usually, the data from the PMU driver is more accurate.
The current perf kernel should output the PMU-filled sample data if
it's available.

To check the availability of the PMU-filled sample data, the current
perf kernel initializes the related fields in the
perf_sample_data_init(). When outputting a sample, the perf checks
whether the field is updated by the PMU driver. If yes, the updated
value will be output. If not, the perf uses an SW way to calculate the
value or just outputs the initialized value if an SW way is unavailable
either.

With more and more data being provided by the PMU driver, more fields
has to be initialized in the perf_sample_data_init(). That will
increase the number of cache lines touched in perf_sample_data_init()
and be harmful to the performance.

Add new "sample_flags" to indicate the PMU-filled sample data. The PMU
driver should set the corresponding PERF_SAMPLE_ flag when the field is
updated. The initialization of the corresponding field is not required
anymore. The following patches will make use of it and remove the
corresponding fields from the perf_sample_data_init(), which will
further minimize the number of cache lines touched.

Only clear the sample flags that have already been done by the PMU
driver in the perf_prepare_sample() for the PERF_RECORD_SAMPLE. For the
other PERF_RECORD_ event type, the sample data is not available.

ring_buffer: Do not deactivate non-existant pages

commit 56f4ca0a79a9f1af98f26c54b9b89ba1f9bcc6bd upstream.

rb_head_page_deactivate() expects cpu_buffer to contain a valid list of

ftrace: Fix null pointer dereference in ftrace_add_mod()

2022-11-25T16:36:51+00:00

commit 19ba6c8af9382c4c05dc6a0a79af3013b9a35cd0 upstream.

The @ftrace_mod is allocated by kzalloc(), so both the members {prev,next}
of @ftrace_mode->list are NULL, it's not a valid state to call list_del().
If kstrdup() for @ftrace_mod->{func|module} fails, it goes to @out_free
tag and calls free_ftrace_mod() to destroy @ftrace_mod, then list_del()
will write prev->next and next->prev, where null pointer dereference
happens.

PM: hibernate: Allow hybrid sleep to work with s2idle

2022-11-03T14:50:55+00:00

[ Upstream commit 85850af4fc47132f3f2f0dd698b90f67906600b4 ]

Hybrid sleep is currently hardcoded to only operate with S3 even
on systems that might not support it.

Instead of assuming this mode is what the user wants to use, for
hybrid sleep follow the setting of `mem_sleep_current` which
will respect mem_sleep_default kernel command line and policy
decisions made by the presence of the FADT low power idle bit.

gcov: support GCC 12.1 and newer compilers

2022-10-26T11:16:58+00:00

commit 977ef30a7d888eeb52fb6908f99080f33e5309a8 upstream.

Starting with GCC 12.1, the created .gcda format can't be read by gcov
tool.  There are 2 significant changes to the .gcda file format that
need to be supported:

a) [gcov: Use system IO buffering]
   (23eb66d1d46a34cb28c4acbdf8a1deb80a7c5a05) changed that all sizes in
   the format are in bytes and not in words (4B)

b) [gcov: make profile merging smarter]
   (72e0c742bd01f8e7e6dcca64042b9ad7e75979de) add a new checksum to the
   file header.

Tested with GCC 7.5, 10.4, 12.2 and the current master.

ring-buffer: Fix race between reset page and reading page

2022-10-26T11:16:58+00:00

commit a0fcaaed0c46cf9399d3a2d6e0c87ddb3df0e044 upstream.

The ring buffer is broken up into sub buffers (currently of page size).
Each sub buffer has a pointer to its "tail" (the last event written to the
sub buffer). When a new event is requested, the tail is locally
incremented to cover the size of the new event. This is done in a way that
there is no need for locking.

If the tail goes past the end of the sub buffer, the process of moving to
the next sub buffer takes place. After setting the current sub buffer to
the next one, the previous one that had the tail go passed the end of the
sub buffer needs to be reset back to the original tail location (before
the new event was requested) and the rest of the sub buffer needs to be
"padded".

The race happens when a reader takes control of the sub buffer. As readers
do a "swap" of sub buffers from the ring buffer to get exclusive access to
the sub buffer, it replaces the "head" sub buffer with an empty sub buffer
that goes back into the writable portion of the ring buffer. This swap can
happen as soon as the writer moves to the next sub buffer and before it
updates the last sub buffer with padding.

Because the sub buffer can be released to the reader while the writer is
still updating the padding, it is possible for the reader to see the event
that goes past the end of the sub buffer. This can cause obvious issues.

To fix this, add a few memory barriers so that the reader definitely sees
the updates to the sub buffer, and also waits until the writer has put
back the "tail" of the sub buffer back to the last event that was written
on it.

To be paranoid, it will only spin for 1 second, otherwise it will
warn and shutdown the ring buffer code. 1 second should be enough as
the writer does have preemption disabled. If the writer doesn't move
within 1 second (with preemption disabled) something is horribly
wrong. No interrupt should last 1 second!
