59a47fff02 Mostly this is just clean ups and micro optimizations. 
The changes with more meat are:
 
  o Allowing the trace event filters to filter on CPU number and process ids
 
  o Two new markers for trace output latency were added
     (10 and 100 msec latencies)
 
  o Have tracing_thresh filter function profiling time
 
 I also worked on modifying the ring buffer code for some future
 work, and moved the adding of the timestamp around. One of my changes
 caused a regression, and since other changes were built on top of it
 and already tested, I had to operate a revert of that change. Instead
 of rebasing, this change set has the code that caused a regression
 as well as the code to revert that change without touching the other
 changes that were made on top of it.

 "This is one of the larger audit patchsets in recent history,
  consisting of eight patches and almost 400 lines of changes.

  The bulk of the patchset is the new "audit by executable"
  functionality which allows admins to set an audit watch based on the
  executable on disk.  Prior to this, admins could only track an
  application by PID, which has some obvious limitations.

  Beyond the new functionality we also have some refcnt fixes and a few

c821990610 task_work: remove fifo ordering guarantee 
In commit f341861fb0 ("task_work: add a scheduling point in
task_work_run()") I fixed a latency problem adding a cond_resched()
call.

Later, commit ac3d0da8f3 added yet another loop to reverse a list,
bringing back the latency spike :

I've seen in some cases this loop taking 275 ms, if for example a
process with 2,000,000 files is killed.

We could add yet another cond_resched() in the reverse loop, or we
can simply remove the reversal, as I do not think anything
would depend on order of task_work_add() submitted works.

Fixes: ac3d0da8f3 ("task_work: Make task_work_add() lockless")

81a4beef91 watchdog: introduce watchdog_park_threads() and watchdog_unpark_threads() 
Originally watchdog_nmi_enable(cpu) and watchdog_nmi_disable(cpu) were
only called in watchdog thread context.  However, the following commits
utilize these functions outside of watchdog thread context too.

  commit 9809b18fcf
  Author: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.cz>
  Date:   Tue Sep 24 15:27:30 2013 -0700

      watchdog: update watchdog_thresh properly

  commit b3738d2932
  Author: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com>
  Date:   Mon Nov 17 20:07:03 2014 +0100

      watchdog: Add watchdog enable/disable all functions

Hence, it is now possible that these functions execute concurrently with
the same 'cpu' argument.  This concurrency is problematic because per-cpu
'watchdog_ev' can be accessed/modified without adequate synchronization.

The patch series aims to address the above problem.  However, instead of
introducing locks to protect per-cpu 'watchdog_ev' a different approach is
taken: Invoke these functions by parking and unparking the watchdog
threads (to ensure they are always called in watchdog thread context).

  static struct smp_hotplug_thread watchdog_threads = {
           ...
          .park   = watchdog_disable, // calls watchdog_nmi_disable()
          .unpark = watchdog_enable,  // calls watchdog_nmi_enable()
  };

Both previously mentioned commits call these functions in a similar way
and thus in principle contain some duplicate code.  The patch series also
avoids this duplication by providing a commonly usable mechanism.

- Patch 1/4 introduces the watchdog_{park|unpark}_threads functions that
  park/unpark all watchdog threads specified in 'watchdog_cpumask'. They
  are intended to be called inside of kernel/watchdog.c only.

- Patch 2/4 introduces the watchdog_{suspend|resume} functions which can
  be utilized by external callers to deactivate the hard and soft lockup
  detector temporarily.

- Patch 3/4 utilizes watchdog_{park|unpark}_threads to replace some code
  that was introduced by commit 9809b18fcf.

- Patch 4/4 utilizes watchdog_{suspend|resume} to replace some code that
  was introduced by commit b3738d2932.

A few corner cases should be mentioned here for completeness.

- kthread_park() of watchdog/N could hang if cpu N is already locked up.
  However, if watchdog is enabled the lockup will be detected anyway.

- kthread_unpark() of watchdog/N could hang if cpu N got locked up after
  kthread_park(). The occurrence of this scenario should be _very_ rare
  in practice, in particular because it is not expected that temporary
  deactivation will happen frequently, and if it happens at all it is
  expected that the duration of deactivation will be short.

This patch (of 4): introduce watchdog_park_threads() and watchdog_unpark_threads()

These functions are intended to be used only from inside kernel/watchdog.c
to park/unpark all watchdog threads that are specified in
watchdog_cpumask.

aacfbe6a97 kernel/watchdog: move NMI function header declarations from watchdog.h to nmi.h 
The kernel's NMI watchdog has nothing to do with the watchdog subsystem.
Its header declarations should be in linux/nmi.h, not linux/watchdog.h.

The code provided two sets of dummy functions if HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR is
not configured, one in the include file and one in kernel/watchdog.c.
Remove the dummy functions from kernel/watchdog.c and use those from the
include file.

3dd08c0c91 smpboot: make cleanup to mirror setup 
The per-cpu kthread cleanup() callback is the mirror of the setup()
callback.  When the per-cpu kthread is started, it first calls setup()
to initialize the resources which are then released by cleanup() when
the kthread exits.

Now since the introduction of a per-cpu kthread cpumask, the kthreads
excluded by the cpumask on boot may happen to be parked immediately
after their creation without taking the setup() stage, waiting to be
asked to unpark to do so.  Then when smpboot_unregister_percpu_thread()
is later called, the kthread is stopped without having ever called
setup().

But this triggers a bug as the kthread unconditionally calls cleanup()
on exit but this doesn't mirror any setup().  Thus the kernel crashes
because we try to free resources that haven't been initialized, as in
the watchdog case:

    WATCHDOG disable 0
    WATCHDOG disable 1
    WATCHDOG disable 2
    BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at           (null)
    IP: hrtimer_active+0x26/0x60
    [...]
    Call Trace:
      hrtimer_try_to_cancel+0x1c/0x280
      hrtimer_cancel+0x1d/0x30
      watchdog_disable+0x56/0x70
      watchdog_cleanup+0xe/0x10
      smpboot_thread_fn+0x23c/0x2c0
      kthread+0xf8/0x110
      ret_from_fork+0x3f/0x70

This bug is currently masked with explicit kthread unparking before
kthread_stop() on smpboot_destroy_threads(). This forces a call to
setup() and then unpark().

We could fix this by unconditionally calling setup() on kthread entry.
But setup() isn't always cheap.  In the case of watchdog it launches
hrtimer, perf events, etc...  So we may as well like to skip it if there
are chances the kthread will never be used, as in a reduced cpumask value.

So let's simply do a state machine check before calling cleanup() that
makes sure setup() has been called before mirroring it.

And remove the nasty hack workaround.

a068acf2ee fs: create and use seq_show_option for escaping 
Many file systems that implement the show_options hook fail to correctly
escape their output which could lead to unescaped characters (e.g.  new
lines) leaking into /proc/mounts and /proc/[pid]/mountinfo files.  This
could lead to confusion, spoofed entries (resulting in things like
systemd issuing false d-bus "mount" notifications), and who knows what
else.  This looks like it would only be the root user stepping on
themselves, but it's possible weird things could happen in containers or
in other situations with delegated mount privileges.

Here's an example using overlay with setuid fusermount trusting the
contents of /proc/mounts (via the /etc/mtab symlink).  Imagine the use
of "sudo" is something more sneaky:

  $ BASE="ovl"
  $ MNT="$BASE/mnt"
  $ LOW="$BASE/lower"
  $ UP="$BASE/upper"
  $ WORK="$BASE/work/ 0 0
  none /proc fuse.pwn user_id=1000"
  $ mkdir -p "$LOW" "$UP" "$WORK"
  $ sudo mount -t overlay -o "lowerdir=$LOW,upperdir=$UP,workdir=$WORK" none /mnt
  $ cat /proc/mounts
  none /root/ovl/mnt overlay rw,relatime,lowerdir=ovl/lower,upperdir=ovl/upper,workdir=ovl/work/ 0 0
  none /proc fuse.pwn user_id=1000 0 0
  $ fusermount -u /proc
  $ cat /proc/mounts
  cat: /proc/mounts: No such file or directory

This fixes the problem by adding new seq_show_option and
seq_show_option_n helpers, and updating the vulnerable show_option
handlers to use them as needed.  Some, like SELinux, need to be open
coded due to unusual existing escape mechanisms.

58319057b7 capabilities: ambient capabilities 
Credit where credit is due: this idea comes from Christoph Lameter with
a lot of valuable input from Serge Hallyn.  This patch is heavily based
on Christoph's patch.

===== The status quo =====

On Linux, there are a number of capabilities defined by the kernel.  To
perform various privileged tasks, processes can wield capabilities that
they hold.

Each task has four capability masks: effective (pE), permitted (pP),
inheritable (pI), and a bounding set (X).  When the kernel checks for a
capability, it checks pE.  The other capability masks serve to modify
what capabilities can be in pE.

Any task can remove capabilities from pE, pP, or pI at any time.  If a
task has a capability in pP, it can add that capability to pE and/or pI.
If a task has CAP_SETPCAP, then it can add any capability to pI, and it
can remove capabilities from X.

Tasks are not the only things that can have capabilities; files can also
have capabilities.  A file can have no capabilty information at all [1].
If a file has capability information, then it has a permitted mask (fP)
and an inheritable mask (fI) as well as a single effective bit (fE) [2].
File capabilities modify the capabilities of tasks that execve(2) them.

A task that successfully calls execve has its capabilities modified for
the file ultimately being excecuted (i.e.  the binary itself if that
binary is ELF or for the interpreter if the binary is a script.) [3] In
the capability evolution rules, for each mask Z, pZ represents the old
value and pZ' represents the new value.  The rules are:

  pP' = (X & fP) | (pI & fI)
  pI' = pI
  pE' = (fE ? pP' : 0)
  X is unchanged

For setuid binaries, fP, fI, and fE are modified by a moderately
complicated set of rules that emulate POSIX behavior.  Similarly, if
euid == 0 or ruid == 0, then fP, fI, and fE are modified differently
(primary, fP and fI usually end up being the full set).  For nonroot
users executing binaries with neither setuid nor file caps, fI and fP
are empty and fE is false.

As an extra complication, if you execute a process as nonroot and fE is
set, then the "secure exec" rules are in effect: AT_SECURE gets set,
LD_PRELOAD doesn't work, etc.

This is rather messy.  We've learned that making any changes is
dangerous, though: if a new kernel version allows an unprivileged
program to change its security state in a way that persists cross
execution of a setuid program or a program with file caps, this
persistent state is surprisingly likely to allow setuid or file-capped
programs to be exploited for privilege escalation.

===== The problem =====

Capability inheritance is basically useless.

If you aren't root and you execute an ordinary binary, fI is zero, so
your capabilities have no effect whatsoever on pP'.  This means that you
can't usefully execute a helper process or a shell command with elevated
capabilities if you aren't root.

On current kernels, you can sort of work around this by setting fI to
the full set for most or all non-setuid executable files.  This causes
pP' = pI for nonroot, and inheritance works.  No one does this because
it's a PITA and it isn't even supported on most filesystems.

If you try this, you'll discover that every nonroot program ends up with
secure exec rules, breaking many things.

This is a problem that has bitten many people who have tried to use
capabilities for anything useful.

===== The proposed change =====

This patch adds a fifth capability mask called the ambient mask (pA).
pA does what most people expect pI to do.

pA obeys the invariant that no bit can ever be set in pA if it is not
set in both pP and pI.  Dropping a bit from pP or pI drops that bit from
pA.  This ensures that existing programs that try to drop capabilities
still do so, with a complication.  Because capability inheritance is so
broken, setting KEEPCAPS, using setresuid to switch to nonroot uids, and
then calling execve effectively drops capabilities.  Therefore,
setresuid from root to nonroot conditionally clears pA unless
SECBIT_NO_SETUID_FIXUP is set.  Processes that don't like this can
re-add bits to pA afterwards.

The capability evolution rules are changed:

  pA' = (file caps or setuid or setgid ? 0 : pA)
  pP' = (X & fP) | (pI & fI) | pA'
  pI' = pI
  pE' = (fE ? pP' : pA')
  X is unchanged

If you are nonroot but you have a capability, you can add it to pA.  If
you do so, your children get that capability in pA, pP, and pE.  For
example, you can set pA = CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE, and your children can
automatically bind low-numbered ports.  Hallelujah!

Unprivileged users can create user namespaces, map themselves to a
nonzero uid, and create both privileged (relative to their namespace)
and unprivileged process trees.  This is currently more or less
impossible.  Hallelujah!

You cannot use pA to try to subvert a setuid, setgid, or file-capped
program: if you execute any such program, pA gets cleared and the
resulting evolution rules are unchanged by this patch.

Users with nonzero pA are unlikely to unintentionally leak that
capability.  If they run programs that try to drop privileges, dropping
privileges will still work.

It's worth noting that the degree of paranoia in this patch could
possibly be reduced without causing serious problems.  Specifically, if
we allowed pA to persist across executing non-pA-aware setuid binaries
and across setresuid, then, naively, the only capabilities that could
leak as a result would be the capabilities in pA, and any attacker
*already* has those capabilities.  This would make me nervous, though --
setuid binaries that tried to privilege-separate might fail to do so,
and putting CAP_DAC_READ_SEARCH or CAP_DAC_OVERRIDE into pA could have
unexpected side effects.  (Whether these unexpected side effects would
be exploitable is an open question.) I've therefore taken the more
paranoid route.  We can revisit this later.

An alternative would be to require PR_SET_NO_NEW_PRIVS before setting
ambient capabilities.  I think that this would be annoying and would
make granting otherwise unprivileged users minor ambient capabilities
(CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE or CAP_NET_RAW for example) much less useful than
it is with this patch.

===== Footnotes =====

[1] Files that are missing the "security.capability" xattr or that have
unrecognized values for that xattr end up with has_cap set to false.
The code that does that appears to be complicated for no good reason.

[2] The libcap capability mask parsers and formatters are dangerously
misleading and the documentation is flat-out wrong.  fE is *not* a mask;
it's a single bit.  This has probably confused every single person who
has tried to use file capabilities.

[3] Linux very confusingly processes both the script and the interpreter
if applicable, for reasons that elude me.  The results from thinking
about a script's file capabilities and/or setuid bits are mostly
discarded.

Preliminary userspace code is here, but it needs updating:
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/luto/util-linux-playground.git/commit/?h=cap_ambient&id=7f5afbd175d2

Here is a test program that can be used to verify the functionality
(from Christoph):

/*
 * Test program for the ambient capabilities. This program spawns a shell
 * that allows running processes with a defined set of capabilities.
 *
 * (C) 2015 Christoph Lameter <cl@linux.com>
 * Released under: GPL v3 or later.
 *
 *
 * Compile using:
 *
 *	gcc -o ambient_test ambient_test.o -lcap-ng
 *
 * This program must have the following capabilities to run properly:
 * Permissions for CAP_NET_RAW, CAP_NET_ADMIN, CAP_SYS_NICE
 *
 * A command to equip the binary with the right caps is:
 *
 *	setcap cap_net_raw,cap_net_admin,cap_sys_nice+p ambient_test
 *
 *
 * To get a shell with additional caps that can be inherited by other processes:
 *
 *	./ambient_test /bin/bash
 *
 *
 * Verifying that it works:
 *
 * From the bash spawed by ambient_test run
 *
 *	cat /proc/$$/status
 *
 * and have a look at the capabilities.

   - Extend atomic primitives with coherent logic op primitives
     (atomic_{or,and,xor}()) and deprecate the old partial APIs
     (atomic_{set,clear}_mask())

     The old ops were incoherent with incompatible signatures across
     architectures and with incomplete support.  Now every architecture
     supports the primitives consistently (by Peter Zijlstra)

   - Generic support for 'relaxed atomics':

       - _acquire/release/relaxed() flavours of xchg(), cmpxchg() and {add,sub}_return()
       - atomic_read_acquire()
       - atomic_set_release()

     This came out of porting qwrlock code to arm64 (by Will Deacon)

   - Clean up the fragile static_key APIs that were causing repeat bugs,
     by introducing a new one:

       DEFINE_STATIC_KEY_TRUE(name);
       DEFINE_STATIC_KEY_FALSE(name);

     which define a key of different types with an initial true/false
     value.

     Then allow:

       static_branch_likely()
       static_branch_unlikely()

     to take a key of either type and emit the right instruction for the
     case.  To be able to know the 'type' of the static key we encode it
     in the jump entry (by Peter Zijlstra)

   - Static key self-tests (by Jason Baron)

   - qrwlock optimizations (by Waiman Long)

   - small futex enhancements (by Davidlohr Bueso)

b7dc42fd79 ring-buffer: Revert "ring-buffer: Get timestamp after event is allocated" 
The commit a4543a2fa9 "ring-buffer: Get timestamp after event is
allocated" is needed for some future work. But after adding it, there is a
race somewhere that causes the saved timestamp to have a slight shift, and
get ahead of the actual timestamp and make it look like time goes backwards.

I'm still looking into why this happens, but in the mean time, this is
holding up other work to get in. I'm reverting the change for now (which
makes the problem go away), and will add it back after I know what is wrong
and fix it.

Pull core block updates from Jens Axboe:
 "This first core part of the block IO changes contains:

   - Cleanup of the bio IO error signaling from Christoph.  We used to
     rely on the uptodate bit and passing around of an error, now we
     store the error in the bio itself.

   - Improvement of the above from myself, by shrinking the bio size
     down again to fit in two cachelines on x86-64.

   - Revert of the max_hw_sectors cap removal from a revision again,
     from Jeff Moyer.  This caused performance regressions in various
     tests.  Reinstate the limit, bump it to a more reasonable size
     instead.

   - Make /sys/block/<dev>/queue/discard_max_bytes writeable, by me.
     Most devices have huge trim limits, which can cause nasty latencies
     when deleting files.  Enable the admin to configure the size down.
     We will look into having a more sane default instead of UINT_MAX
     sectors.

   - Improvement of the SGP gaps logic from Keith Busch.

   - Enable the block core to handle arbitrarily sized bios, which
     enables a nice simplification of bio_add_page() (which is an IO hot
     path).  From Kent.

   - Improvements to the partition io stats accounting, making it
     faster.  From Ming Lei.

   - Also from Ming Lei, a basic fixup for overflow of the sysfs pending
     file in blk-mq, as well as a fix for a blk-mq timeout race
     condition.

   - Ming Lin has been carrying Kents above mentioned patches forward
     for a while, and testing them.  Ming also did a few fixes around
     that.

   - Sasha Levin found and fixed a use-after-free problem introduced by
     the bio->bi_error changes from Christoph.

   - Small blk cgroup cleanup from Viresh Kumar"

Pull power management and ACPI updates from Rafael Wysocki:
 "From the number of commits perspective, the biggest items are ACPICA
  and cpufreq changes with the latter taking the lead (over 50 commits).

  On the cpufreq front, there are many cleanups and minor fixes in the
  core and governors, driver updates etc.  We also have a new cpufreq
  driver for Mediatek MT8173 chips.

  ACPICA mostly updates its debug infrastructure and adds a number of
  fixes and cleanups for a good measure.

  The Operating Performance Points (OPP) framework is updated with new
  DT bindings and support for them among other things.

  We have a few updates of the generic power domains framework and a
  reorganization of the ACPI device enumeration code and bus type
  operations.

 "This finishes up the changes to ensure proc and sysfs do not start

  It akso fixes a long standing misfeature of /proc/<pid>/mountinfo that

  It also straightens out the handling of clone flags related to user
  namespaces, fixing an unnecessary failure of unshare(CLONE_NEWUSER)
  when files such as /proc/<pid>/environ are read while <pid> is calling
  unshare.  This winds up fixing a minor bug in unshare flag handling
  that dates back to the first version of unshare in the kernel.

  Finally, this fixes a minor regression caused by the introduction of
  sysfs_create_mount_point, which broke someone's in house application,
  by restoring the size of /sys/fs/cgroup to 0 bytes.  Apparently that
  application uses the directory size to determine if a tmpfs is mounted
  on /sys/fs/cgroup.

  The bind mount escape fixes are present in Al Viros for-next branch.

 "The biggest change in this cycle is the rewrite of the main SMP load
  balancing metric: the CPU load/utilization.  The main goal was to make
  the metric more precise and more representative - see the changelog of
  this commit for the gory details:

    9d89c257df ("sched/fair: Rewrite runnable load and utilization average tracking")

  It is done in a way that significantly reduces complexity of the code:

    5 files changed, 249 insertions(+), 494 deletions(-)

  and the performance testing results are encouraging.  Nevertheless we
  need to keep an eye on potential regressions, since this potentially
  affects every SMP workload in existence.

  This work comes from Yuyang Du.

  Other changes:

   - SCHED_DL updates.  (Andrea Parri)

   - Simplify architecture callbacks by removing finish_arch_switch().

   - 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)

   - ... and tons of other changes, see the shortlog and the Git log for
     details"

a2fb3382ed tracing/uprobes: Do not print '0x (null)' when offset is 0 
When manually added uprobe point with zero address, 'uprobe_events'
output '(null)' instead of 0x00000000:

  # echo p:probe_libc/abs_0 /path/to/lib.bin:0x0 arg1=%ax > \
            /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/uprobe_events

  # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/uprobe_events
    p:probe_libc/abs_0 /path/to/lib.bin:0x          (null) arg1=%ax

 This patch fixes this behavior:

  # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/uprobe_events
  p:probe_libc/abs_0 /path/to/lib.bin:0x0000000000000000
