Pull perf fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
 "A larger set of updates for perf.

  Kernel:

   - Handle the SBOX uncore monitoring correctly on Broadwell CPUs which
     do not have SBOX.

   - Store context switch out type in PERF_RECORD_SWITCH[_CPU_WIDE]. The
     percentage of preempting and non-preempting context switches help
     understanding the nature of workloads (CPU or IO bound) that are
     running on a machine. This adds the kernel facility and userspace
     changes needed to show this information in 'perf script' and 'perf
     report -D' (Alexey Budankov)

   - Remove a WARN_ON() in the trace/kprobes code which is pointless
     because the return error code is already telling the caller what's
     wrong.

   - Revert a fugly workaround for clang BPF targets.

   - Fix sample_max_stack maximum check and do not proceed when an error
     has been detect, return them to avoid misidentifying errors (Jiri
     Olsa)

   - Add SPDX idenitifiers and get rid of GPL boilderplate.

  Tools:

   - Synchronize kernel ABI headers, v4.17-rc1 (Ingo Molnar)

   - Support MAP_FIXED_NOREPLACE, noticed when updating the
     tools/include/ copies (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

   - Add '\n' at the end of parse-options error messages (Ravi Bangoria)

   - Add s390 support for detailed/verbose PMU event description (Thomas
     Richter)

   - perf annotate fixes and improvements:

      * Allow showing offsets in more than just jump targets, use the
        new 'O' hotkey in the TUI, config ~/.perfconfig
        annotate.offset_level for it and for --stdio2 (Arnaldo Carvalho
        de Melo)

      * Use the resolved variable names from objdump disassembled lines
        to make them more compact, just like was already done for some
        instructions, like "mov", this eventually will be done more
        generally, but lets now add some more to the existing mechanism
        (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

   - perf record fixes:

      * Change warning for missing topology sysfs entry to debug, as not
        all architectures have those files, s390 being one of those
        (Thomas Richter)

      * Remove old error messages about things that unlikely to be the
        root cause in modern systems (Andi Kleen)

   - perf sched fixes:

      * Fix -g/--call-graph documentation (Takuya Yamamoto)

   - perf stat:

      * Enable 1ms interval for printing event counters values in
        (Alexey Budankov)

   - perf test fixes:

      * Run dwarf unwind on arm32 (Kim Phillips)

      * Remove unused ptrace.h include from LLVM test, sidesteping older
        clang's lack of support for some asm constructs (Arnaldo
        Carvalho de Melo)

      * Fixup BPF test using epoll_pwait syscall function probe, to cope
        with the syscall routines renames performed in this development
        cycle (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

   - perf version fixes:

      * Do not print info about HAVE_LIBAUDIT_SUPPORT in 'perf version
        --build-options' when HAVE_SYSCALL_TABLE_SUPPORT is true, as
        libaudit won't be used in that case, print info about
        syscall_table support instead (Jin Yao)

   - Build system fixes:

      * Use HAVE_..._SUPPORT used consistently (Jin Yao)

      * Restore READ_ONCE() C++ compatibility in tools/include (Mark
        Rutland)

      * Give hints about package names needed to build jvmti (Arnaldo
        Carvalho de Melo)"

perf/core: Store context switch out type in PERF_RECORD_SWITCH[_CPU_WIDE]

2018-04-17T12:47:39+00:00

Store preempting context switch out event into Perf trace as a part of
PERF_RECORD_SWITCH[_CPU_WIDE] record.

Percentage of preempting and non-preempting context switches help
understanding the nature of workloads (CPU or IO bound) that are running
on a machine;

The event is treated as preemption one when task->state value of the
thread being switched out is TASK_RUNNING. Event type encoding is
implemented using PERF_RECORD_MISC_SWITCH_OUT_PREEMPT bit;

linux/const.h: move UL() macro to include/linux/const.h

2018-04-11T17:28:38+00:00

ARM, ARM64 and UniCore32 duplicate the definition of UL():

  #define UL(x) _AC(x, UL)

This is not actually arch-specific, so it will be useful to move it to a
common header.  Currently, we only have the uapi variant for
linux/const.h, so I am creating include/linux/const.h.

I also added _UL(), _ULL() and ULL() because _AC() is mostly used in
the form either _AC(..., UL) or _AC(..., ULL).  I expect they will be
replaced in follow-up cleanups.  The underscore-prefixed ones should
be used for exported headers.

linux/const.h: prefix include guard of uapi/linux/const.h with _UAPI

2018-04-11T17:28:38+00:00

Patch series "linux/const.h: cleanups of macros such as UL(), _BITUL(),
BIT() etc", v3.

ARM, ARM64, UniCore32 define UL() as a shorthand of _AC(..., UL).  More
architectures may introduce it in the future.

UL() is arch-agnostic, and useful. So let's move it to
include/linux/const.h

Currently,  must be included to use UL().  It pulls in more
bloats just for defining some bit macros.

I posted V2 one year ago.

The previous posts are:
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9498273/
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9498275/
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9498269/
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9498271/

At that time, what blocked this series was a comment from
David Howells:
  You need to be very careful doing this.  Some userspace stuff
  depends on the guard macro names on the kernel header files.

(https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9498275/)

Looking at the code closer, I noticed this is not a problem.

See the following line.
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/v4.16-rc2/scripts/headers_install.sh#L40

scripts/headers_install.sh rips off _UAPI prefix from guard macro names.

I ran "make headers_install" and confirmed the result is what I expect.

So, we can prefix the include guard of include/uapi/linux/const.h,
and add a new include/linux/const.h.

This patch (of 4):

I am going to add include/linux/const.h for the kernel space.

Add _UAPI to the include guard of include/uapi/linux/const.h to
prepare for that.

Please notice the guard name of the exported one will be kept as-is.
So, this commit has no impact to the userspace even if some userspace
stuff depends on the guard macro names.

scripts/headers_install.sh processes exported headers by SED, and
rips off "_UAPI" from guard macro names.

  #ifndef _UAPI_LINUX_CONST_H
  #define _UAPI_LINUX_CONST_H

will be turned into

  #ifndef _LINUX_CONST_H
  #define _LINUX_CONST_H

ipc/msg: introduce msgctl(MSG_STAT_ANY)

2018-04-11T17:28:37+00:00

There is a permission discrepancy when consulting msq ipc object
metadata between /proc/sysvipc/msg (0444) and the MSG_STAT shmctl
command.  The later does permission checks for the object vs S_IRUGO.
As such there can be cases where EACCESS is returned via syscall but the
info is displayed anyways in the procfs files.

While this might have security implications via info leaking (albeit no
writing to the msq metadata), this behavior goes way back and showing
all the objects regardless of the permissions was most likely an
overlook - so we are stuck with it.  Furthermore, modifying either the
syscall or the procfs file can cause userspace programs to break (ie
ipcs).  Some applications require getting the procfs info (without root
privileges) and can be rather slow in comparison with a syscall -- up to
500x in some reported cases for shm.

This patch introduces a new MSG_STAT_ANY command such that the msq ipc
object permissions are ignored, and only audited instead.  In addition,
I've left the lsm security hook checks in place, as if some policy can
block the call, then the user has no other choice than just parsing the
procfs file.
