- Add support for using several Intel PT features (CYC, MTC packets),
the relevant documentation was updated in:
tools/perf/Documentation/intel-pt.txt
briefly describing those packets, its purposes, how to configure
them in the event config terms and relevant external documentation
for further reading. (Adrian Hunter)
- Introduce support for probing at an absolute address, for user and
kernel 'perf probe's, useful when one have the symbol maps on a
developer machine but not on an embedded system. (Wang Nan)
- Add Intel BTS support, with a call-graph script to show it and PT
in use in a GUI using 'perf script' python scripting with
postgresql and Qt. (Adrian Hunter)
- Allow selecting the type of callchains per event, including
disabling callchains in all but one entry in an event list, to save
space, and also to ask for the callchains collected in one event to
be used in other events. (Kan Liang)
- Beautify more syscall arguments in 'perf trace': (Arnaldo Carvalho
de Melo)
* A bunch more translate file/pathnames from pointers to strings.
* Convert numbers to strings for the 'keyctl' syscall 'option'
arg.
* Add missing 'clockid' entries.
- Introduce 'srcfile' sort key: (Andi Kleen)
# perf record -F 10000 usleep 1
# perf report --stdio --dsos '[kernel.vmlinux]' -s srcfile
<SNIP>
# Overhead Source File
26.49% copy_page_64.S
5.49% signal.c
0.51% msr.h
#
It can be combined with other fields, for instance, experiment with
'-s srcfile,symbol'.
There are some oddities in some distros and with some specific
DSOs, being investigated, so your mileage may vary.
- Support per-event 'freq' term: (Namhyung Kim)
$ perf record -e 'cpu/instructions,freq=1234/',cycles -c 1000 sleep 1
$ perf evlist -F
cpu/instructions,freq=1234/: sample_freq=1234
cycles: sample_period=1000
$
- Deref sys_enter pointer args with contents from probe:vfs_getname,
showing pathnames instead of pointers in many syscalls in 'perf
trace'. (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
- Stop collecting /proc/kallsyms in perf.data files, saving about
4.5MB on a typical x86-64 system, use the the symbol resolution
routines used in all the other tools (report, top, etc) now that we
can ask libtraceevent to use perf's symbol resolution code.
(Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
- Allow filtering out of perf's PID via 'perf record --exclude-perf'.
(Wang Nan)
- 'perf trace' now supports syscall groups, like strace, i.e:
$ trace -e file touch file
Will expand 'file' into multiple, file related, syscalls. More
work needed to add extra groups for other syscall groups, and also
to complement what was added for the 'file' group, included as a
proof of concept. (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
- Add lock_pi stresser to 'perf bench futex', to test the kernel code
related to FUTEX_(UN)LOCK_PI. (Davidlohr Bueso)
- Let user have timestamps with per-thread recording in 'perf record'
(Adrian Hunter)

2c7577a758 ("sched/x86_64: Don't save flags on context switch")
It was a nice speedup. It's also not quite correct: SYSENTER
enables interrupts too early.
We can re-add this optimization once the SYSENTER code is beaten
into shape, which should happen in 4.3 or 4.4.

The current Hyper-V clock source is based on the per-partition reference counter
and this counter is being accessed via s synthetic MSR - HV_X64_MSR_TIME_REF_COUNT.
Hyper-V has a more efficient way of computing the per-partition reference
counter value that does not involve reading a synthetic MSR. We implement
a time source based on this mechanism.

When general-purpose kexec (not kdump) is being performed in Hyper-V guest
the newly booted kernel fails with an MCE error coming from the host. It
is the same error which was fixed in the "Drivers: hv: vmbus: Implement
the protocol for tearing down vmbus state" commit - monitor pages remain
special and when they're being written to (as the new kernel doesn't know
these pages are special) bad things happen. We need to perform some
minimalistic cleanup before booting a new kernel on kexec. To do so we
need to register a special machine_ops.shutdown handler to be executed
before the native_machine_shutdown(). Registering a shutdown notification
handler via the register_reboot_notifier() call is not sufficient as it
happens to early for our purposes. machine_ops is not being exported to
modules (and I don't think we want to export it) so let's do this in
mshyperv.c
The minimalistic cleanup consists of cleaning up clockevents, synic MSRs,
guest os id MSR, and hypercall MSR.
Kdump doesn't require all this stuff as it lives in a separate memory
space.

Intel PT chapter in the new Intel Architecture SDM adds several packets
corresponding enable bits and registers that control packet generation.
Also, additional bits in the Intel PT CPUID leaf were added to enumerate
presence and parameters of these new packets and features.
The packets and enables are:
* CYC: cycle accurate mode, provides the number of cycles elapsed since
previous CYC packet; its presence and available threshold values are
enumerated via CPUID;
* MTC: mini time counter packets, used for tracking TSC time between
full TSC packets; its presence and available resolution options are
enumerated via CPUID;
* PSB packet period is now configurable, available period values are
enumerated via CPUID.
This patch adds corresponding bit and register definitions, pmu driver
capabilities based on CPUID enumeration, new attribute format bits for
the new featurens and extends event configuration validation function
to take these into account.

modify_ldt() has questionable locking and does not synchronize
threads. Improve it: redesign the locking and synchronize all
threads' LDTs using an IPI on all modifications.
This will dramatically slow down modify_ldt in multithreaded
programs, but there shouldn't be any multithreaded programs that
care about modify_ldt's performance in the first place.

To support IOAPIC hotplug, we need to allocate PCI IRQ resources on demand
and free them when not used anymore.
Implement pcibios_alloc_irq() and pcibios_free_irq() to dynamically
allocate and free PCI IRQs.
Remove mp_should_keep_irq(), which is no longer used.

Pull x86 fixes from Ingo Molnar:
"Two families of fixes:
- Fix an FPU context related boot crash on newer x86 hardware with
larger context sizes than what most people test. To fix this
without ugly kludges or extensive reverts we had to touch core task
allocator, to allow x86 to determine the task size dynamically, at
boot time.
I've tested it on a number of x86 platforms, and I cross-built it
to a handful of architectures:
(warns) (warns)
testing x86-64: -git: pass ( 0), -tip: pass ( 0)
testing x86-32: -git: pass ( 0), -tip: pass ( 0)

The FPU rewrite removed the dynamic allocations of 'struct fpu'.
But, this potentially wastes massive amounts of memory (2k per
task on systems that do not have AVX-512 for instance).
Instead of having a separate slab, this patch just appends the
space that we need to the 'task_struct' which we dynamically
allocate already. This saves from doing an extra slab
allocation at fork().
The only real downside here is that we have to stick everything
and the end of the task_struct. But, I think the
BUILD_BUG_ON()s I stuck in there should keep that from being too
fragile.

Commit 2ae416b142 ("mm: new mm hook framework") introduced an empty
header file (mm-arch-hooks.h) for every architecture, even those which
doesn't need to define mm hooks.
As suggested by Geert Uytterhoeven, this could be cleaned through the use
of a generic header file included via each per architecture

The PowerPC architecture is not impacted here since this architecture has
to defined the arch_remap MM hook.

Currently KASAN shadow region page tables created without
respect of physical offset (phys_base). This causes kernel halt
when phys_base is not zero.
So let's initialize KASAN shadow region page tables in
kasan_early_init() using __pa_nodebug() which considers
phys_base.
This patch also separates x86_64_start_kernel() from KASAN low
level details by moving kasan_map_early_shadow(init_level4_pgt)
into kasan_early_init().
Remove the comment before clear_bss() which stopped bringing
much profit to the code readability. Otherwise describing all
the new order dependencies would be too verbose.

4 drivers / enabling modules:
NFIT:
Instantiates an "nvdimm bus" with the core and registers memory devices
(NVDIMMs) enumerated by the ACPI 6.0 NFIT (NVDIMM Firmware Interface
table). After registering NVDIMMs the NFIT driver then registers
"region" devices. A libnvdimm-region defines an access mode and the
boundaries of persistent memory media. A region may span multiple
NVDIMMs that are interleaved by the hardware memory controller. In
turn, a libnvdimm-region can be carved into a "namespace" device and
bound to the PMEM or BLK driver which will attach a Linux block device
(disk) interface to the memory.
PMEM:
Initially merged in v4.1 this driver for contiguous spans of persistent
memory address ranges is re-worked to drive PMEM-namespaces emitted by
the libnvdimm-core. In this update the PMEM driver, on x86, gains the
ability to assert that writes to persistent memory have been flushed all
the way through the caches and buffers in the platform to persistent
media. See memcpy_to_pmem() and wmb_pmem().
BLK:
This new driver enables access to persistent memory media through "Block
Data Windows" as defined by the NFIT. The primary difference of this
driver to PMEM is that only a small window of persistent memory is
mapped into system address space at any given point in time. Per-NVDIMM
windows are reprogrammed at run time, per-I/O, to access different
portions of the media. BLK-mode, by definition, does not support DAX.
BTT:
This is a library, optionally consumed by either PMEM or BLK, that
converts a byte-accessible namespace into a disk with atomic sector
update semantics (prevents sector tearing on crash or power loss). The
sinister aspect of sector tearing is that most applications do not know
they have a atomic sector dependency. At least today's disk's rarely
ever tear sectors and if they do one almost certainly gets a CRC error
on access. NVDIMMs will always tear and always silently. Until an
application is audited to be robust in the presence of sector-tearing
the usage of BTT is recommended.

Based on an original patch by Ross Zwisler [1].
Writes to persistent memory have the potential to be posted to cpu
cache, cpu write buffers, and platform write buffers (memory controller)
before being committed to persistent media. Provide apis,
memcpy_to_pmem(), wmb_pmem(), and memremap_pmem(), to write data to
pmem and assert that it is durable in PMEM (a persistent linear address
range). A '__pmem' attribute is added so sparse can track proper usage
of pointers to pmem.
This continues the status quo of pmem being x86 only for 4.2, but
reworks to ioremap, and wider implementation of memremap() will enable
other archs in 4.3.
