A long time ago, in v2.4, VM_RESERVED kept swapout process off VMA,
currently it lost original meaning but still has some effects:
| effect | alternative flags
-+------------------------+---------------------------------------------
1| account as reserved_vm | VM_IO
2| skip in core dump | VM_IO, VM_DONTDUMP
3| do not merge or expand | VM_IO, VM_DONTEXPAND, VM_HUGETLB, VM_PFNMAP
4| do not mlock | VM_IO, VM_DONTEXPAND, VM_HUGETLB, VM_PFNMAP
This patch removes reserved_vm counter from mm_struct. Seems like nobody
cares about it, it does not exported into userspace directly, it only
reduces total_vm showed in proc.
Thus VM_RESERVED can be replaced with VM_IO or pair VM_DONTEXPAND | VM_DONTDUMP.
remap_pfn_range() and io_remap_pfn_range() set VM_IO|VM_DONTEXPAND|VM_DONTDUMP.
remap_vmalloc_range() set VM_DONTEXPAND | VM_DONTDUMP.

Stephane thought the perf_cpu_context::active_pmu name confusing and
suggested using 'unique_pmu' instead.
This pointer is a pointer to a 'random' pmu sharing the cpuctx
instance, therefore limiting a for_each_pmu loop to those where
cpuctx->unique_pmu matches the pmu we get a loop over unique cpuctx
instances.

Pull vfs update from Al Viro:
- big one - consolidation of descriptor-related logics; almost all of
that is moved to fs/file.c
(BTW, I'm seriously tempted to rename the result to fd.c. As it is,
we have a situation when file_table.c is about handling of struct
file and file.c is about handling of descriptor tables; the reasons
are historical - file_table.c used to be about a static array of
struct file we used to have way back).
A lot of stray ends got cleaned up and converted to saner primitives,
disgusting mess in android/binder.c is still disgusting, but at least
doesn't poke so much in descriptor table guts anymore. A bunch of
relatively minor races got fixed in process, plus an ext4 struct file
leak.
- related thing - fget_light() partially unuglified; see fdget() in
there (and yes, it generates the code as good as we used to have).
- also related - bits of Cyrill's procfs stuff that got entangled into
that work; _not_ all of it, just the initial move to fs/proc/fd.c and
switch of fdinfo to seq_file.
- Alex's fs/coredump.c spiltoff - the same story, had been easier to
take that commit than mess with conflicts. The rest is a separate
pile, this was just a mechanical code movement.
- a few misc patches all over the place. Not all for this cycle,
there'll be more (and quite a few currently sit in akpm's tree)."
Fix up trivial conflicts in the android binder driver, and some fairly
simple conflicts due to two different changes to the sock_alloc_file()
interface ("take descriptor handling from sock_alloc_file() to callers"
vs "net: Providing protocol type via system.sockprotoname xattr of
/proc/PID/fd entries" adding a dentry name to the socket)

Pull cgroup hierarchy update from Tejun Heo:
"Currently, different cgroup subsystems handle nested cgroups
completely differently. There's no consistency among subsystems and
the behaviors often are outright broken.
People at least seem to agree that the broken hierarhcy behaviors need
to be weeded out if any progress is gonna be made on this front and
that the fallouts from deprecating the broken behaviors should be
acceptable especially given that the current behaviors don't make much
sense when nested.
This patch makes cgroup emit warning messages if cgroups for
subsystems with broken hierarchy behavior are nested to prepare for
fixing them in the future. This was put in a separate branch because
more related changes were expected (didn't make it this round) and the
memory cgroup wanted to pull in this and make changes on top."

Pull perf update from Ingo Molnar:
"Lots of changes in this cycle as well, with hundreds of commits from
over 30 contributors. Most of the activity was on the tooling side.
Higher level changes:
- New 'perf kvm' analysis tool, from Xiao Guangrong.
- New 'perf trace' system-wide tracing tool
- uprobes fixes + cleanups from Oleg Nesterov.
- Lots of patches to make perf build on Android out of box, from
Irina Tirdea
- Extend ftrace function tracing utility to be more dynamic for its
users. It allows for data passing to the callback functions, as
well as reading regs as if a breakpoint were to trigger at function
entry.
The main goal of this patch series was to allow kprobes to use
ftrace as an optimized probe point when a probe is placed on an
ftrace nop. With lots of help from Masami Hiramatsu, and going
through lots of iterations, we finally came up with a good
solution.
- Add cpumask for uncore pmu, use it in 'stat', from Yan, Zheng.
- Various tracing updates from Steve Rostedt
- Clean up and improve 'perf sched' performance by elliminating lots
of needless calls to libtraceevent.
- Event group parsing support, from Jiri Olsa
- UI/gtk refactorings and improvements from Namhyung Kim
- Add support for non-tracepoint events in perf script python, from
Feng Tang
- Add --symbols to 'script', similar to the one in 'report', from
Feng Tang.
Infrastructure enhancements and fixes:
- Convert the trace builtins to use the growing evsel/evlist
tracepoint infrastructure, removing several open coded constructs
like switch like series of strcmp to dispatch events, etc.
Basically what had already been showcased in 'perf sched'.
- Add evsel constructor for tracepoints, that uses libtraceevent just
to parse the /format events file, use it in a new 'perf test' to
make sure the libtraceevent format parsing regressions can be more
readily caught.
- Some strange errors were happening in some builds, but not on the
next, reported by several people, problem was some parser related
files, generated during the build, didn't had proper make deps, fix
from Eric Sandeen.
- Introduce struct and cache information about the environment where
a perf.data file was captured, from Namhyung Kim.
- Fix handling of unresolved samples when --symbols is used in
'report', from Feng Tang.
- Add union member access support to 'probe', from Hyeoncheol Lee.
- Fixups to die() removal, from Namhyung Kim.
- Render fixes for the TUI, from Namhyung Kim.
- Don't enable annotation in non symbolic view, from Namhyung Kim.
- Fix pipe mode in 'report', from Namhyung Kim.
- Move related stats code from stat to util/, will be used by the
'stat' kvm tool, from Xiao Guangrong.
- Remove die()/exit() calls from several tools.
- Resolve vdso callchains, from Jiri Olsa
- Don't pass const char pointers to basename, so that we can

from Namhyung Kim.
- Fix bfd.h/libbfd detection with recent binutils, from Markus
Trippelsdorf.

Currently, cgroup hierarchy support is a mess. cpu related subsystems
behave correctly - configuration, accounting and control on a parent
properly cover its children. blkio and freezer completely ignore
hierarchy and treat all cgroups as if they're directly under the root
cgroup. Others show yet different behaviors.
These differing interpretations of cgroup hierarchy make using cgroup
confusing and it impossible to co-mount controllers into the same
hierarchy and obtain sane behavior.
Eventually, we want full hierarchy support from all subsystems and
probably a unified hierarchy. Users using separate hierarchies
expecting completely different behaviors depending on the mounted
subsystem is deterimental to making any progress on this front.
This patch adds cgroup_subsys.broken_hierarchy and sets it to %true
for controllers which are lacking in hierarchy support. The goal of
this patch is two-fold.
* Move users away from using hierarchy on currently non-hierarchical
subsystems, so that implementing proper hierarchy support on those
doesn't surprise them.
* Keep track of which controllers are broken how and nudge the
subsystems to implement proper hierarchy support.
For now, start with a single warning message. We can whine louder
later on.
v2: Fixed a typo spotted by Michal. Warning message updated.
v3: Updated memcg part so that it doesn't generate warning in the
cases where .use_hierarchy=false doesn't make the behavior
different from root.use_hierarchy=true. Fixed a typo spotted by
Glauber.
v4: Check ->broken_hierarchy after cgroup creation is complete so that
->create() can affect the result per Michal. Dropped unnecessary
memcg root handling per Michal.

While debugging a warning message on PowerPC while using hardware
breakpoints, it was discovered that when perf_event_disable is invoked
through hw_breakpoint_handler function with interrupts disabled, a
subsequent IPI in the code path would trigger a WARN_ON_ONCE message in
smp_call_function_single function.
This patch calls __perf_event_disable() when interrupts are already
disabled, instead of perf_event_disable().

Don't mess with file refcounts (or keep a reference to file, for
that matter) in perf_event. Use explicit refcount of its own
instead. Deal with the race between the final reference to event
going away and new children getting created for it by use of
atomic_long_inc_not_zero() in inherit_event(); just have the
latter free what it had allocated and return NULL, that works
out just fine (children of siblings of something doomed are
created as singletons, same as if the child of leader had been
created and immediately killed).

A few events are interesting not only for a current task.
For example, sched_stat_* events are interesting for a task
which wakes up. For this reason, it will be good if such
events will be delivered to a target task too.
Now a target task can be set by using __perf_task().
The original idea and a draft patch belongs to Peter Zijlstra.
I need these events for profiling sleep times. sched_switch is used for
getting callchains and sched_stat_* is used for getting time periods.
These events are combined in user space, then it can be analyzed by
perf tools.

An rmdir pushes css's ref count to zero. However, if the associated
directory is open at the time, the dentry ref count is non-zero. If
the fd for this directory is then passed into perf_event_open, it
does a css_get(). This bounces the ref count back up from zero. This
is a problem by itself. But what makes it turn into a crash is the
fact that we end up doing an extra dput, since we perform a dput
when css_put sees the ref count go down to zero.
css_tryget() does not fall into that trap. So, we use that instead.

This reverts commit cb04ff9ac4 ("sched, perf: Use a single
callback into the scheduler").
Before this change was introduced, the process switch worked
like this (wrt. to perf event schedule):
schedule (prev, next)
- schedule out all perf events for prev
- switch to next
- schedule in all perf events for current (next)
After the commit, the process switch looks like:
schedule (prev, next)
- schedule out all perf events for prev
- schedule in all perf events for (next)
- switch to next
The problem is, that after we schedule perf events in, the pmu
is enabled and we can receive events even before we make the
switch to next - so "current" still being prev process (event
SAMPLE data are filled based on the value of the "current"
process).
Thats exactly what we see for test__PERF_RECORD test. We receive
SAMPLES with PID of the process that our tracee is scheduled
from.
Discussed with Peter Zijlstra:
> Bah!, yeah I guess reverting is the right thing for now. Sad
> though.
>
> So by having the two hooks we have a black-spot between them
> where we receive no events at all, this black-spot covers the
> hand-over of current and we thus don't receive the 'wrong'

We always need to pass the last sample period to
perf_sample_data_init(), otherwise the event distribution will be
wrong. Thus, modifiyng the function interface with the required period
as argument. So basically a pattern like this:
perf_sample_data_init(&data, ~0ULL);
data.period = event->hw.last_period;
will now be like that:
perf_sample_data_init(&data, ~0ULL, event->hw.last_period);
Avoids unininitialized data.period and simplifies code.
