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)"

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-&gt;state value of the
thread being switched out is TASK_RUNNING. Event type encoding is
implemented using PERF_RECORD_MISC_SWITCH_OUT_PREEMPT bit;

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

<content type='text'>
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.

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.

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, &lt;asm/memory.h&gt; 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

<title>fs, elf: drop MAP_FIXED usage from elf_map</title>

Both load_elf_interp and load_elf_binary rely on elf_map to map segments
on a controlled address and they use MAP_FIXED to enforce that.  This is
however dangerous thing prone to silent data corruption which can be
even exploitable.

Let's take CVE-2017-1000253 as an example.  At the time (before commit
eab09532d400: "binfmt_elf: use ELF_ET_DYN_BASE only for PIE")
ELF_ET_DYN_BASE was at TASK_SIZE / 3 * 2 which is not that far away from
the stack top on 32b (legacy) memory layout (only 1GB away).  Therefore
we could end up mapping over the existing stack with some luck.

The issue has been fixed since then (a87938b2e246: "fs/binfmt_elf.c: fix
bug in loading of PIE binaries"), ELF_ET_DYN_BASE moved moved much
further from the stack (eab09532d400 and later by c715b72c1ba4: "mm:
revert x86_64 and arm64 ELF_ET_DYN_BASE base changes") and excessive
stack consumption early during execve fully stopped by da029c11e6b1
("exec: Limit arg stack to at most 75% of _STK_LIM").  So we should be
safe and any attack should be impractical.  On the other hand this is
just too subtle assumption so it can break quite easily and hard to
spot.

I believe that the MAP_FIXED usage in load_elf_binary (et. al) is still
fundamentally dangerous.  Moreover it shouldn't be even needed.  We are
at the early process stage and so there shouldn't be unrelated mappings
(except for stack and loader) existing so mmap for a given address should
succeed even without MAP_FIXED.  Something is terribly wrong if this is
not the case and we should rather fail than silently corrupt the
underlying mapping.

Address this issue by changing MAP_FIXED to the newly added
MAP_FIXED_NOREPLACE.  This will mean that mmap will fail if there is an
existing mapping clashing with the requested one without clobbering it.
