commit c3c87e770458aa004bd7ed3f29945ff436fd6511 upstream.

The fix from 9fc81d87420d ("perf: Fix events installation during
moving group") was incomplete in that it failed to recognise that
creating a group with events for different CPUs is semantically
broken -- they cannot be co-scheduled.

Furthermore, it leads to real breakage where, when we create an event
for CPU Y and then migrate it to form a group on CPU X, the code gets
confused where the counter is programmed -- triggered in practice
as well by me via the perf fuzzer.

Fix this by tightening the rules for creating groups. Only allow
grouping of counters that can be co-scheduled in the same context.
This means for the same task and/or the same cpu.

<title>kconfig: tinyconfig: provide whole choice blocks to avoid warnings</title>

commit 236dec051078a8691950f56949612b4b74107e48 upstream.

Using "make tinyconfig" produces a couple of annoying warnings that show
up for build test machines all the time:

    .config:966:warning: override: NOHIGHMEM changes choice state
    .config:965:warning: override: SLOB changes choice state
    .config:963:warning: override: KERNEL_XZ changes choice state
    .config:962:warning: override: CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE changes choice state
    .config:933:warning: override: SLOB changes choice state
    .config:930:warning: override: CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE changes choice state
    .config:870:warning: override: SLOB changes choice state
    .config:868:warning: override: KERNEL_XZ changes choice state
    .config:867:warning: override: CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE changes choice state

I've made a previous attempt at fixing them and we discussed a number of
alternatives.

I tried changing the Makefile to use "merge_config.sh -n
$(fragment-list)" but couldn't get that to work properly.

This is yet another approach, based on the observation that we do want
to see a warning for conflicting 'choice' options, and that we can
simply make them non-conflicting by listing all other options as
disabled.  This is a trivial patch that we can apply independent of
plans for other changes.

<title>perf: Avoid horrible stack usage</title>

commit 86038c5ea81b519a8a1fcfcd5e4599aab0cdd119 upstream.

Both Linus (most recent) and Steve (a while ago) reported that perf
related callbacks have massive stack bloat.

The problem is that software events need a pt_regs in order to
properly report the event location and unwind stack. And because we
could not assume one was present we allocated one on stack and filled
it with minimal bits required for operation.

Now, pt_regs is quite large, so this is undesirable. Furthermore it
turns out that most sites actually have a pt_regs pointer available,
making this even more onerous, as the stack space is pointless waste.

This patch addresses the problem by observing that software events
have well defined nesting semantics, therefore we can use static
per-cpu storage instead of on-stack.

Linus made the further observation that all but the scheduler callers
of perf_sw_event() have a pt_regs available, so we change the regular
perf_sw_event() to require a valid pt_regs (where it used to be
optional) and add perf_sw_event_sched() for the scheduler.

We have a scheduler specific call instead of a more generic _noregs()
like construct because we can assume non-recursion from the scheduler
and thereby simplify the code further (_noregs would have to put the
recursion context call inline in order to assertain which __perf_regs
element to use).

One last note on the implementation of perf_trace_buf_prepare(); we
allow .regs = NULL for those cases where we already have a pt_regs
pointer available and do not need another.

<title>ring-buffer: Have ring_buffer_iter_empty() return true when empty</title>

commit 78f7a45dac2a2d2002f98a3a95f7979867868d73 upstream.

I noticed that reading the snapshot file when it is empty no longer gives a
status. It suppose to show the status of the snapshot buffer as well as how
to allocate and use it. For example:

 &gt;# cat snapshot
 # tracer: nop
 #
 #
 # * Snapshot is allocated *
 #
 # Snapshot commands:
 # echo 0 &gt; snapshot : Clears and frees snapshot buffer
 # echo 1 &gt; snapshot : Allocates snapshot buffer, if not already allocated.
 #                      Takes a snapshot of the main buffer.
 # echo 2 &gt; snapshot : Clears snapshot buffer (but does not allocate or free)
 #                      (Doesn't have to be '2' works with any number that
 #                       is not a '0' or '1')

But instead it just showed an empty buffer:

 &gt;# cat snapshot
 # tracer: nop
 #
 # entries-in-buffer/entries-written: 0/0   #P:4
 #
 #                              _-----=&gt; irqs-off
 #                             / _----=&gt; need-resched
 #                            | / _---=&gt; hardirq/softirq
 #                            || / _--=&gt; preempt-depth
 #                            ||| /     delay
 #           TASK-PID   CPU#  ||||    TIMESTAMP  FUNCTION
 #              | |       |   ||||       |         |

What happened was that it was using the ring_buffer_iter_empty() function to
see if it was empty, and if it was, it showed the status. But that function
was returning false when it was empty. The reason was that the iter header
page was on the reader page, and the reader page was empty, but so was the
buffer itself. The check only tested to see if the iter was on the commit
page, but the commit page was no longer pointing to the reader page, but as
all pages were empty, the buffer is also.

<title>tracing: Allocate the snapshot buffer before enabling probe</title>

commit df62db5be2e5f070ecd1a5ece5945b590ee112e0 upstream.

Currently the snapshot trigger enables the probe and then allocates the
snapshot. If the probe triggers before the allocation, it could cause the
snapshot to fail and turn tracing off. It's best to allocate the snapshot
buffer first, and then enable the trigger. If something goes wrong in the
enabling of the trigger, the snapshot buffer is still allocated, but it can
also be freed by the user by writting zero into the snapshot buffer file.

Also add a check of the return status of alloc_snapshot().

commit 62277de758b155dc04b78f195a1cb5208c37b2df upstream.

In case of error, the function kthread_run() returns ERR_PTR()
and never returns NULL. The NULL test in the return value check
should be replaced with IS_ERR().

commit 62277de758b155dc04b78f195a1cb5208c37b2df upstream.

In case of error, the function kthread_run() returns ERR_PTR()
and never returns NULL. The NULL test in the return value check
should be replaced with IS_ERR().

commit e7cc4865f0f31698ef2f7aac01a50e78968985b7 upstream.

While hunting for clues to a use-after-free, Oleg spotted that
perf_event_init_context() can loose an error value with the result
that fork() can succeed even though we did not fully inherit the perf
event context.

<title>ptrace: fix PTRACE_LISTEN race corrupting task-&gt;state</title>

commit 5402e97af667e35e54177af8f6575518bf251d51 upstream.

In PT_SEIZED + LISTEN mode STOP/CONT signals cause a wakeup against
__TASK_TRACED.  If this races with the ptrace_unfreeze_traced at the end
of a PTRACE_LISTEN, this can wake the task /after/ the check against
__TASK_TRACED, but before the reset of state to TASK_TRACED.  This
causes it to instead clobber TASK_WAKING, allowing a subsequent wakeup
against TRACED while the task is still on the rq wake_list, corrupting
it.

Oleg said:
 "The kernel can crash or this can lead to other hard-to-debug problems.
  In short, "task-&gt;state = TASK_TRACED" in ptrace_unfreeze_traced()
  assumes that nobody else can wake it up, but PTRACE_LISTEN breaks the
  contract. Obviusly it is very wrong to manipulate task-&gt;state if this
  task is already running, or WAKING, or it sleeps again"

<title>ftrace: Fix removing of second function probe</title>

commit 82cc4fc2e70ec5baeff8f776f2773abc8b2cc0ae upstream.

When two function probes are added to set_ftrace_filter, and then one of
them is removed, the update to the function locations is not performed, and
the record keeping of the function states are corrupted, and causes an
ftrace_bug() to occur.

This is easily reproducable by adding two probes, removing one, and then
adding it back again.

commit 9bbb25afeb182502ca4f2c4f3f88af0681b34cae upstream.

Thomas spotted that fixup_pi_state_owner() can return errors and we
fail to unlock the rt_mutex in that case.
