Pull tracing fix from Steven Rostedt:
 "Another small bug reported to me by Chunyu Hu.

  When perf added a "reg" function to the function tracing event (not a
  tracepoint), it caused that event to be displayed as a tracepoint and
  could cause errors in tracepoint handling.  That was solved by adding
  a flag to ignore ftrace non-tracepoint events.  But that flag was
  missed when displaying events in available_events, which should only
  contain tracepoint events.

  This broke a documented way to enable all events with:

      cat available_events > set_event

  As the function non-tracepoint event would cause that to error out.
  The commit here fixes that by having the available_events file not
  list events that have the ignore flag set"

Merge branch 'libnvdimm-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm

2016-02-26T02:54:53+00:00

Pull libnvdimm fixes from Dan Williams:

 - Two fixes for compatibility with the ACPI 6.1 specification.

   Without these fixes multi-interface DIMMs will fail to be probed, and
   address range scrub commands to find memory errors will give results
   that the kernel will mis-interpret.  For multi-interface DIMMs Linux
   will accept either the original 6.0 implementation or 6.1.

   For address range scrub we'll only support 6.1 since ACPI formalized
   this DSM differently than the original example [1] implemented in
   v4.2.  The expectation is that production systems will only ever ship
   the ACPI 6.1 address range scrub command definition.

 - The wider async address range scrub work targeting 4.6 discovered
   that the original synchronous implementation in 4.5 is not sizing its
   return buffer correctly.

 - Arnd caught that my recent fix to the size of the pfn_t flags missed
   updating the flags variable used in the pmem driver.

 - Toshi found that we mishandle the memremap() return value in
   devm_memremap().

* 'libnvdimm-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm:
  nvdimm: use 'u64' for pfn flags
  devm_memremap: Fix error value when memremap failed
  nfit: update address range scrub commands to the acpi 6.1 format
  libnvdimm, tools/testing/nvdimm: fix 'ars_status' output buffer sizing
  nfit: fix multi-interface dimm handling, acpi6.1 compatibility

perf: Robustify task_function_call()

2016-02-25T07:44:29+00:00

Since there is no serialization between task_function_call() doing
task_curr() and the other CPU doing context switches, we could end
up not sending an IPI even if we had to.

And I'm not sure I still buy my own argument we're OK.

perf: Fix scaling vs. perf_install_in_context()

2016-02-25T07:44:29+00:00

Completely reworks perf_install_in_context() (again!) in order to
ensure that there will be no ctx time hole between add_event_to_ctx()
and any potential ctx_sched_in().

perf: Fix scaling vs. perf_event_enable()

2016-02-25T07:44:19+00:00

Similar to the perf_enable_on_exec(), ensure that event timings are
consistent across perf_event_enable().

perf: Fix scaling vs. perf_event_enable_on_exec()

2016-02-25T07:43:34+00:00

The recent commit 3e349507d12d ("perf: Fix perf_enable_on_exec() event
scheduling") caused this by moving task_ctx_sched_out() from before
__perf_event_mask_enable() to after it.

The overlooked consequence of that change is that task_ctx_sched_out()
would update the ctx time fields, and now __perf_event_mask_enable()
uses stale time.

In order to fix this, explicitly stop our context's time before
enabling the event(s).

perf: Fix ctx time tracking by introducing EVENT_TIME

2016-02-25T07:42:34+00:00

Currently any ctx_sched_in() call will re-start the ctx time tracking,
this means that calls like:

	ctx_sched_in(.event_type = EVENT_PINNED);
	ctx_sched_in(.event_type = EVENT_FLEXIBLE);

will have a hole in their ctx time tracking. This is likely harmless
but can confuse things a little. By adding EVENT_TIME, we can have the
first ctx_sched_in() (is_active: 0 -> !0) start the time and any
further ctx_sched_in() will leave the timestamps alone.

Secondly, this allows for an early disable like:

	ctx_sched_out(.event_type = EVENT_TIME);

which would update the ctx time (if the ctx is active) and any further
calls to ctx_sched_out() would not further modify the ctx time.

For ctx_sched_in() any 0 -> !0 transition will automatically include
EVENT_TIME.

For ctx_sched_out(), any transition that clears EVENT_ALL will
automatically clear EVENT_TIME.

These two rules ensure that under normal circumstances we need not
bother with EVENT_TIME and get natural ctx time behaviour.

perf: Cure event->pending_disable race

2016-02-25T07:42:34+00:00

Because event_sched_out() checks event->pending_disable _before_
actually disabling the event, it can happen that the event fires after
it checks but before it gets disabled.

This would leave event->pending_disable set and the queued irq_work
will try and process it.

However, if the event trigger was during schedule(), the event might
have been de-scheduled by the time the irq_work runs, and
perf_event_disable_local() will fail.

Fix this by checking event->pending_disable _after_ we call
event->pmu->del(). This depends on the latter being a compiler
barrier, such that the compiler does not lift the load and re-creates
the problem.
