Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo c410431cef perf tools: Reconstruct event with modifiers from perf_event_attr
The modifiers:

  k		kernel space
  u		user space
  h		hypervisor
  G		guest
  H		host
  p, pp, ppp    precision level (PEBS)

that can be suffixed to an event were lost when tools used event_name()
to reconstruct them from the perf_event_attr entries in a perf.data
file.

Fix it by following the defaults used for these modifiers in the current
codebase, so:

 $ perf record -e instructions:u usleep 1 2> /dev/null
 $ perf evlist
 instructions:u
 $ perf record -e cycles:k usleep 1 2> /dev/null
 $ perf evlist
 cycles:k
 $ perf record -e cycles:kh usleep 1 2> /dev/null
 $ perf evlist
 cycles:kh
 $ perf record -e cache-misses:G usleep 1 2> /dev/null
 $ perf evlist
 cache-misses:G
 $ perf record -e cycles:ppk usleep 1 2> /dev/null
 $ perf evlist
 cycles:kpp
 $

Also works with 'top', 'report', etc.

More work needed to cover tracepoints and software events while not
dragging lots of baggage to the python binding, this is a minimal fix
for v3.5.

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo 895d97663c perf top: Fix counter name fixup when fallbacking to cpu-clock
In 40491eaa "perf top: Update event name when falling back to cpu-clock"
we freed counter->name but didn't reset it to NULL, then when setting it
to the result of event_name(), event_name() would use the cached value,
which by now was overwritten and thus we got garbage or a zero lenght
string.

Fix it by just freeing and setting counter->name to NULL, this way
event_name() when called afterwards, will find the right counter name
and cache it again.

Found while trying 'cycles:pp' on a machine were :pp couldn't be
honoured. Probably the best fallback here is to tell the user that that
level of precision is not available on the PMU and then go removing 'p',
levels of precision till we get to play 'cycles' and if even that fails,
_then_ get to 'cpu-clock'.

But that is the matter for another patch, this one just needs to fix the
caching issue, which in the end will show 'cpu-clock' when tools ask for
the event name being used, which clarifies things for the user, that
will see that 'cycles:pp' or whatever not support event is not being
used, some sort of fallback happened.

Stefan Hajnoczi 00b9da7219 tools lib traceevent: Allow expressions in __print_symbolic() fields
The __print_symbolic() function takes a sequence of key-value pairs for
pretty-printing a constant.  The new kvm:kvm_exit print fmt uses the
expression:

  __print_symbolic(..., { 0x040 + 1, "DB excp" }, ...)

Currently only atoms are supported and this print fmt fails to parse.
This patch adds support for expressions instead of just atoms so that
0x040 + 1 is parsed successfully.

This implied a reference counting bug and the problem happened during
mbind().

mbind() applies a new memory policy to a range and uses mbind_range() to
merge existing VMAs or split them as necessary.  In the event of splits,
mpol_dup() will allocate a new struct mempolicy and maintain existing
reference counts whose rules are documented in
Documentation/vm/numa_memory_policy.txt .

The problem occurs with shared memory policies.  The vm_op->set_policy
increments the reference count if necessary and split_vma() and
vma_merge() have already handled the existing reference counts.
However, policy_vma() screws it up by replacing an existing
vma->vm_policy with one that potentially has the wrong reference count
leading to a premature free.  This patch removes the damage caused by
policy_vma().

With this patch applied Dave's trinity tool runs an mbind test for 5
minutes without error.  /proc/slabinfo reported that there are no
numa_policy or shared_policy_node objects allocated after the test
completed and the shared memory region was deleted.

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo a1d44b9acd perf evlist: Explicititely initialize input_name
It was a global variable, so it was initialized, implicitely, to zero by
being placed in the bss.

Now it is just a local variable that is then passed to the __cmd_evlist
routine, so it must be explicitely set to NULL.

The problem manifested on a Fedora 17 system, using:

 gcc version 4.7.0 20120507 (Red Hat 4.7.0-5) (GCC)

But not on several other systems, by luck.

Linus Torvalds 644473e9c6 Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace
Pull user namespace enhancements from Eric Biederman:
 "This is a course correction for the user namespace, so that we can
  reach an inexpensive, maintainable, and reasonably complete
  implementation.

  Highlights:
   - Config guards make it impossible to enable the user namespace and
     code that has not been converted to be user namespace safe.

   - Use of the new kuid_t type ensures the if you somehow get past the
     config guards the kernel will encounter type errors if you enable
     user namespaces and attempt to compile in code whose permission
     checks have not been updated to be user namespace safe.

   - All uids from child user namespaces are mapped into the initial
     user namespace before they are processed.  Removing the need to add
     an additional check to see if the user namespace of the compared
     uids remains the same.

   - With the user namespaces compiled out the performance is as good or
     better than it is today.

   - For most operations absolutely nothing changes performance or
     operationally with the user namespace enabled.

   - The worst case performance I could come up with was timing 1
     billion cache cold stat operations with the user namespace code
     enabled.  This went from 156s to 164s on my laptop (or 156ns to
     164ns per stat operation).

   - (uid_t)-1 and (gid_t)-1 are reserved as an internal error value.
     Most uid/gid setting system calls treat these value specially
     anyway so attempting to use -1 as a uid would likely cause
     entertaining failures in userspace.

   - If setuid is called with a uid that can not be mapped setuid fails.
     I have looked at sendmail, login, ssh and every other program I
     could think of that would call setuid and they all check for and
     handle the case where setuid fails.

   - If stat or a similar system call is called from a context in which
     we can not map a uid we lie and return overflowuid.  The LFS
     experience suggests not lying and returning an error code might be
     better, but the historical precedent with uids is different and I
     can not think of anything that would break by lying about a uid we
     can't map.

   - Capabilities are localized to the current user namespace making it
     safe to give the initial user in a user namespace all capabilities.

  My git tree covers all of the modifications needed to convert the core
  kernel and enough changes to make a system bootable to runlevel 1."

Pull the MCA deletion branch from Paul Gortmaker:
 "It was good that we could support MCA machines back in the day, but
  realistically, nobody is using them anymore.  They were mostly limited
  to 386-sx 16MHz CPU and some 486 class machines and never more than
  64MB of RAM.  Even the enthusiast hobbyist community seems to have
  dried up close to ten years ago, based on what you can find searching
  various websites dedicated to the relatively short lived hardware.

  So lets remove the support relating to CONFIG_MCA.  There is no point
  carrying this forward, wasting cycles doing routine maintenance on it;
  wasting allyesconfig build time on validating it, wasting I/O on git
  grep'ping over it, and so on."

Let's see if anybody screams.  It generally has compiled, and James
Bottomley pointed out that there was a MCA extension from NCR that
allowed for up to 4GB of memory and PPro-class machines.  So in *theory*
there may be users out there.

But even James (technically listed as a maintainer) doesn't actually
have a system, and while Alan Cox claims to have a machine in his cellar
that he offered to anybody who wants to take it off his hands, he didn't
argue for keeping MCA support either.

So we could bring it back.  But somebody had better speak up and talk
about how they have actually been using said MCA hardware with modern
kernels for us to do that.  And David already took the patch to delete
all the networking driver code (commit a5e371f61a: "drivers/net:
delete all code/drivers depending on CONFIG_MCA").

* 'delete-mca' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulg/linux:
  MCA: delete all remaining traces of microchannel bus support.
  scsi: delete the MCA specific drivers and driver code
  serial: delete the MCA specific 8250 support.
  arm: remove ability to select CONFIG_MCA

Linus Torvalds c80ddb5263 Merge tag 'md-3.5' of git://neil.brown.name/md
Pull md updates from NeilBrown:
 "It's been a busy cycle for md - lots of fun stuff here..  if you like
  this kind of thing :-)

  Main features:
   - RAID10 arrays can be reshaped - adding and removing devices and
     changing chunks (not 'far' array though)
   - allow RAID5 arrays to be reshaped with a backup file (not tested
     yet, but the priciple works fine for RAID10).
   - arrays can be reshaped while a bitmap is present - you no longer
     need to remove it first
   - SSSE3 support for RAID6 syndrome calculations

  and of course a number of minor fixes etc."

* tag 'md-3.5' of git://neil.brown.name/md: (56 commits)
  md/bitmap: record the space available for the bitmap in the superblock.

Linus Torvalds 2c13bc0f8f Merge branch 'sbp-target-merge' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nab/target-pending
Pull sbp-2 (firewire) target mode support from Nicholas Bellinger:
 "The FireWire SBP-2 Target is a driver for using an IEEE-1394
  connection as a SCSI transport.  This module uses the SCSI Target
  framework to expose LUNs to other machines attached to a FireWire bus,
  in effect acting as a FireWire hard disk similar to FireWire Target
  Disk mode on many Apple computers.

  Also included are the two drivers/firewire/ patches required by
  sbp-target to access fw_request fabric speed needed for mgt_agent
  TCODE_WRITE_BLOCK_REQUEST ops, and exporting fw_card kref logic used
  when creating/destroying active session references to individual
  endpoints.

  A credit goes to Chris in being able to get this code up and running
  so quickly w/o any target core changes, and special thanks goes out to
  Stefan Richter + Clemens Ladisch + Andy Grover for their help in
  getting this driver ready for mainline.  Also, one of Chris's goals
  was to be able to connect sbp-target to a PowerPC based MacOS-X based
  client, that he accomplished along the way in this obligatory
  screenshot:

Linus Torvalds 0bd3fbd4ab Merge git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/herbert/crypto-2.6
Pull crypto updates from Herbert Xu:
 - New cipher/hash driver for ARM ux500.
 - Code clean-up for aesni-intel.
 - Misc fixes.

Fixed up conflicts in arch/arm/mach-ux500/devices-common.h, where quite
frankly some of it made no sense at all (the pull brought in a
declaration for the dbx500_add_platform_device_noirq() function, which
neither exists nor is used anywhere).

Also some trivial add-add context conflicts in the Kconfig file in
drivers/{char/hw_random,crypto}/
