ktest: Fix child exit code processing

2017-03-13T20:40:47+00:00

commit 32677207dcc5e594254b7fb4fb2352b1755b1d5b upstream.

The child_exit errno needs to be shifted by 8 bits to compare against the
return values for the bisect variables.

perf trace: Use the syscall raw_syscalls:sys_enter timestamp

2017-03-13T20:40:14+00:00

commit ecf1e2253ea79c6204f4d6a5e756e8fb4aed5a7e upstream.

Instead of the one when another syscall takes place while another is being
processed (in another CPU, but we show it serialized, so need to "interrupt"
the other), and also when finally showing the sys_enter + sys_exit + duration,
where we were showing the sample->time for the sys_exit, duh.

Before:

  # perf trace sleep 1
  
     0.373 (   0.001 ms): close(fd: 3                   ) = 0
  1000.626 (1000.211 ms): nanosleep(rqtp: 0x7ffd6ddddfb0) = 0
  1000.653 (   0.003 ms): close(fd: 1                   ) = 0
  1000.657 (   0.002 ms): close(fd: 2                   ) = 0
  1000.667 (   0.000 ms): exit_group(                   )
  #

After:

  # perf trace sleep 1
  
     0.336 (   0.001 ms): close(fd: 3                   ) = 0
     0.373 (1000.086 ms): nanosleep(rqtp: 0x7ffe303e9550) = 0
  1000.481 (   0.002 ms): close(fd: 1                   ) = 0
  1000.485 (   0.001 ms): close(fd: 2                   ) = 0
  1000.494 (   0.000 ms): exit_group(                   )

perf scripting: Avoid leaking the scripting_context variable

2017-01-26T16:40:58+00:00

commit cf346d5bd4b9d61656df2f72565c9b354ef3ca0d upstream.

Both register_perl_scripting() and register_python_scripting() allocate
this variable, fix it by checking if it already was.

selftests: do not require bash to run netsocktests testcase

commit 3659f98b5375d195f1870c3e508fe51e52206839 upstream.

Nothing in this minimal script seems to require bash. We often run these
tests on embedded devices where the only shell available is the busybox
ash. Use sh instead.

perf symbols: Fixup symbol sizes before picking best ones

2016-11-08T15:38:28+00:00

commit 432746f8e0b6a82ba832b771afe31abd51af6752 upstream.

When we call symbol__fixup_duplicate() we use algorithms to pick the
"best" symbols for cases where there are various functions/aliases to an
address, and those check zero size symbols, which, before calling
symbol__fixup_end() are _all_ symbols in a just parsed kallsyms file.

So first fixup the end, then fixup the duplicates.

Found while trying to figure out why 'perf test vmlinux' failed, see the
output of 'perf test -v vmlinux' to see cases where the symbols picked
as best for vmlinux don't match the ones picked for kallsyms.

perf stat: Document --detailed option

2016-05-03T05:45:09+00:00

commit f594bae08183fb6b57db55387794ece3e1edf6f6 upstream.

I'm surprised this remained undocumented since at least 2011. And it is
actually a very useful switch, as Steve and I came to realize recently.

Add the text from

  2cba3ffb9a9d ("perf stat: Add -d -d and -d -d -d options to show more CPU events")

which added the incrementing aspect to -d.

efi: Make efivarfs entries immutable by default

2016-03-14T22:10:35+00:00

commit ed8b0de5a33d2a2557dce7f9429dca8cb5bc5879 upstream.

"rm -rf" is bricking some peoples' laptops because of variables being
used to store non-reinitializable firmware driver data that's required
to POST the hardware.

These are 100% bugs, and they need to be fixed, but in the mean time it
shouldn't be easy to *accidentally* brick machines.

We have to have delete working, and picking which variables do and don't
work for deletion is quite intractable, so instead make everything
immutable by default (except for a whitelist), and make tools that
aren't quite so broad-spectrum unset the immutable flag.

tools lib traceevent: Fix output of %llu for 64 bit values read on 32 bit machines

2016-02-24T09:23:22+00:00

commit 32abc2ede536aae52978d6c0a8944eb1df14f460 upstream.

When a long value is read on 32 bit machines for 64 bit output, the
parsing needs to change "%lu" into "%llu", as the value is read
natively.

Unfortunately, if "%llu" is already there, the code will add another "l"
to it and fail to parse it properly.

perf trace: Fix documentation for -i

2016-02-24T09:23:21+00:00

commit 956959f6b7a982b2e789a7a8fa1de437074a5eb9 upstream.

The -i flag was incorrectly listed as a short flag for --no-inherit.  It
should have only been listed as a short flag for --input.

This documentation error has existed since the --input flag was
introduced in 6810fc915f7a89d8134edb3996dbbf8eac386c26 (perf trace: Add
