This reverts commit c8c03f1858.
It turns out that while fixing the ptmx file descriptor to have the
correct 'struct path' to the associated slave pty is a really good
thing, it breaks some user space tools for a very annoying reason.
The problem is that /dev/ptmx and its associated slave pty (/dev/pts/X)
are on different mounts. That was what caused us to have the wrong path
in the first place (we would mix up the vfsmount of the 'ptmx' node,
with the dentry of the pty slave node), but it also means that now while
we use the right vfsmount, having the pty master open also keeps the pts
mount busy.
And it turn sout that that makes 'pbuilder' very unhappy, as noted by
Stefan Lippers-Hollmann:
"This patch introduces a regression for me when using pbuilder
0.228.7[2] (a helper to build Debian packages in a chroot and to
create and update its chroots) when trying to umount /dev/ptmx (inside
the chroot) on Debian/ unstable (full log and pbuilder configuration
file[3] attached).
[...]
Setting up build-essential (12.3) ...
Processing triggers for libc-bin (2.24-15) ...
I: unmounting dev/ptmx filesystem
W: Could not unmount dev/ptmx: umount: /var/cache/pbuilder/build/1340/dev/ptmx: target is busy
(In some cases useful info about processes that
use the device is found by lsof(8) or fuser(1).)"
apparently pbuilder tries to unmount the /dev/pts filesystem while still
holding at least one master node open, which is arguably not very nice,
but we don't break user space even when fixing other bugs.
So this commit has to be reverted.
I'll try to figure out a way to avoid caching the path to the slave pty
in the master pty. The only thing that actually wants that slave pty
path is the "TIOCGPTPEER" ioctl, and I think we could just recreate the
path at that time.

Pull arm64 fixes from Will Deacon:
"Late arm64 fixes.
They fix very early boot failures with KASLR where the early mapping
of the kernel is incorrect, so the failure mode looks like a hang with
no output. There's also a signal-handling fix when a uaccess routine
faults with a fatal signal pending, which could be used to create
unkillable user tasks using userfaultfd and finally a state leak fix
for the floating pointer registers across a call to exec().
We're still seeing some random issues crop up (inode memory corruption
and spinlock recursion) but we've not managed to reproduce things
reliably enough to debug or bisect them yet.

- Fix very early boot failures with KASLR enabled
- Fix fatal signal handling on userspace access from kernel
- Fix leakage of floating point register state across exec()"

With 16KB pages and a kernel Image larger than 16MB, the current
kaslr_early_init() logic for avoiding mappings across swapper table
boundaries fails since increasing the offset by kimg_sz just moves the
problem to the next boundary.
This patch rounds the offset down to (1 << SWAPPER_TABLE_SHIFT) if the
Image crosses a PMD_SIZE boundary.

In the KASLR setup routine, we ensure that the early virtual mapping
of the kernel image does not cover more than a single table entry at
the level above the swapper block level, so that the assembler routines
involved in setting up this mapping can remain simple.
In this calculation we add the proposed KASLR offset to the values of
the _text and _end markers, and reject it if they would end up falling
in different swapper table sized windows.
However, when taking the addresses of _text and _end, the modulo offset
(the physical displacement modulo 2 MB) is already accounted for, and
so adding it again results in incorrect results. So disregard the modulo
offset from the calculation.

When there's a fatal signal pending, arm64's do_page_fault()
implementation returns 0. The intent is that we'll return to the
faulting userspace instruction, delivering the signal on the way.
However, if we take a fatal signal during fixing up a uaccess, this
results in a return to the faulting kernel instruction, which will be
instantly retried, resulting in the same fault being taken forever. As
the task never reaches userspace, the signal is not delivered, and the
task is left unkillable. While the task is stuck in this state, it can
inhibit the forward progress of the system.
To avoid this, we must ensure that when a fatal signal is pending, we
apply any necessary fixup for a faulting kernel instruction. Thus we
will return to an error path, and it is up to that code to make forward
progress towards delivering the fatal signal.

There are some tricky dependencies between the different stages of
flushing the FPSIMD register state during exec, and these can race
with context switch in ways that can cause the old task's regs to
leak across. In particular, a context switch during the memset() can
cause some of the task's old FPSIMD registers to reappear.
Disabling preemption for this small window would be no big deal for
performance: preemption is already disabled for similar scenarios
like updating the FPSIMD registers in sigreturn.
So, instead of rearranging things in ways that might swap existing
subtle bugs for new ones, this patch just disables preemption
around the FPSIMD state flushing so that races of this type can't
occur here. This brings fpsimd_flush_thread() into line with other
code paths.

Add some simple tests to perf test to test data source printing.
v2: Make the tests actually checked for the correct name of Forward
v3: Adjust to new encoding
Committer notes:
Avoid the in place declaration to make this build with older compilers,
for instance, in Debian 7 we get:
tests/mem.c: In function 'test__mem':
tests/mem.c:30:5: error: missing initializer [-Werror=missing-field-initializers]
tests/mem.c:30:5: error: (near initialization for '(anonymous).<anonymous>.mem_snoop') [-Werror=missing-field-initializers]
So just zero a struct, then go on building the unions as needed,
reusing settings from the previous test, i.e. local -> remote, etc.

Add JSON uncore events for Skylake Server to perf.
Based on JSON list V1.01
This is a much fuller list than with earlier uncores, including
more low level (but also harder to understand) events. It does not
include the "experimential" events. The previous
high level metric (LLC_* etc.) are still available when applicable.
C state power events are not included at this point.

Enhance the expression parser for more complex metric formulas.
- Support python style IF ELSE operators
- Add an #SMT_On magic variable for formulas that depend on the SMT
status.
Example: 4 *( CPU_CLK_UNHALTED.THREAD_ANY / 2 ) if #SMT_on else cycles
- Support MIN/MAX operations
Example: min(1 , IDQ.MITE_UOPS / ( UPI * 16 * ( ICACHE.HIT + ICACHE.MISSES ) / 4.0 ) )
This is useful to fix up problems caused by multiplexing.
- Support | & ^ operators
- Minor cleanups and fixes
- Support an \ escape for operators. This allows to specify event names
like c2-residency
- Support @ as an alternative for / to be able to specify pmus without
conflicts with operators (like msr/tsc/ as msr@tsc@)
Example: (cstate_core@c3\\-residency@ / msr@tsc@) * 100

perf stat -e cpu/uops_executed.core,cmask=1/
would be detected as a BPF source event because the .c matches the .c
source BPF pattern.
v2:
Originally I tried to use lex lookahead, but it doesn't seem to work.
This now extends the BPF pattern to match longer events, but then does
an extra check in the C code to reject BPF matches that do not end with
.c/.o/.obj
This uses REJECT, which makes the flex scanner slower, but that
shouldn't be a big problem for the perf events.
Committer testing:
# perf trace -e write -e /home/acme/bpf/tracepoint.c cat /etc/passwd > /dev/null
0.000 ( 0.006 ms): cat/18485 write(fd: 1, buf: 0x7f59eebe1000, count: 3494 ) ...

#
It continues doing what was expected, i.e. identifying
/home/acme/bpf/tracepoint.c as a BPF event and activates the clang
machinery to build an eBPF object and then uses sys_bpf() to hook it up
to the raw_syscalls:sys_enter tracepoint, etc.
