But if there is a space, it returns an error.

Fix synthetic event to accept unsigned modifier for its field type
correctly.
Currently, synthetic_events interface returns error for "unsigned"
modifiers as below;
# echo "myevent unsigned long var" >> synthetic_events
sh: write error: Invalid argument
This is because argv_split() breaks "unsigned long" into "unsigned"
and "long", but parse_synth_field() doesn't expected it.
With this fix, synthetic_events can handle the "unsigned long"
correctly like as below;
# echo "myevent unsigned long var" >> synthetic_events
# cat synthetic_events
myevent unsigned long var

"tracing: Two fixes for 4.19
This fixes two bugs:
- Fix size mismatch of tracepoint array

tracing: Use trace_clock_local() for looping in preemptirq_delay_test.c
tracepoint: Fix tracepoint array element size mismatch
The preemptirq_delay_test module is used for the ftrace selftest code that
tests the latency tracers. The problem is that it uses ktime for the delay
loop, and then checks the tracer to see if the delay loop is caught, but the
tracer uses trace_clock_local() which uses various different other clocks to
measure the latency. As ktime uses the clock cycles, and the code then
converts that to nanoseconds, it causes rounding errors, and the preemptirq
latency tests are failing due to being off by 1 (it expects to see a delay
of 500000 us, but the delay is only 499999 us). This is happening due to a
rounding error in the ktime (which is totally legit). The purpose of the
test is to see if it can catch the delay, not to test the accuracy between
trace_clock_local() and ktime_get(). Best to use apples to apples, and have
the delay loop use the same clock as the latency tracer does.

commit 46e0c9be20 ("kernel: tracepoints: add support for relative
references") changes the layout of the __tracepoint_ptrs section on
architectures supporting relative references. However, it does so
without turning struct tracepoint * const into const int elsewhere in
the tracepoint code, which has the following side-effect:
Setting mod->num_tracepoints is done in by module.c:
mod->tracepoints_ptrs = section_objs(info, "__tracepoints_ptrs",
sizeof(*mod->tracepoints_ptrs),
&mod->num_tracepoints);
Basically, since sizeof(*mod->tracepoints_ptrs) is a pointer size
(rather than sizeof(int)), num_tracepoints is erroneously set to half the
size it should be on 64-bit arch. So a module with an odd number of
tracepoints misses the last tracepoint due to effect of integer
division.
So in the module going notifier:
for_each_tracepoint_range(mod->tracepoints_ptrs,
mod->tracepoints_ptrs + mod->num_tracepoints,
tp_module_going_check_quiescent, NULL);
the expression (mod->tracepoints_ptrs + mod->num_tracepoints) actually
evaluates to something within the bounds of the array, but miss the
last tracepoint if the number of tracepoints is odd on 64-bit arch.
Fix this by introducing a new typedef: tracepoint_ptr_t, which
is either "const int" on architectures that have PREL32 relocations,
or "struct tracepoint * const" on architectures that does not have
this feature.
Also provide a new tracepoint_ptr_defer() static inline to
encapsulate deferencing this type rather than duplicate code and
ugly idefs within the for_each_tracepoint_range() implementation.
This issue appears in 4.19-rc kernels, and should ideally be fixed
before the end of the rc cycle.

cgroup: Fix dom_cgrp propagation when enabling threaded mode
With a very low cpu.cfs_quota_us setting, such as the minimum of 1000,
distribute_cfs_runtime may not empty the throttled_list before it runs
out of runtime to distribute. In that case, due to the change from
c06f04c704 to put throttled entries at the head of the list, later entries
on the list will starve. Essentially, the same X processes will get pulled
off the list, given CPU time and then, when expired, get put back on the
head of the list where distribute_cfs_runtime will give runtime to the same
set of processes leaving the rest.
Fix the issue by setting a bit in struct cfs_bandwidth when
distribute_cfs_runtime is running, so that the code in throttle_cfs_rq can
decide to put the throttled entry on the tail or the head of the list. The
bit is set/cleared by the callers of distribute_cfs_runtime while they hold
cfs_bandwidth->lock.
This is easy to reproduce with a handful of CPU consumers. I use 'crash' on
the live system. In some cases you can simply look at the throttled list and
see the later entries are not changing:
crash> list cfs_rq.throttled_list -H 0xffff90b54f6ade40 -s cfs_rq.runtime_remaining | paste - - | awk '{print $1" "$4}' | pr -t -n3

When I wrote commit 468f6eafa6 ("bpf: fix 32-bit ALU op verification"), I
assumed that, in order to emulate 64-bit arithmetic with 32-bit logic, it
is sufficient to just truncate the output to 32 bits; and so I just moved
the register size coercion that used to be at the start of the function to
the end of the function.
That assumption is true for almost every op, but not for 32-bit right
shifts, because those can propagate information towards the least
significant bit. Fix it by always truncating inputs for 32-bit ops to 32
bits.
Also get rid of the coerce_reg_to_size() after the ALU op, since that has
no effect.

A cgroup which is already a threaded domain may be converted into a
threaded cgroup if the prerequisite conditions are met. When this
happens, all threaded descendant should also have their ->dom_cgrp
updated to the new threaded domain cgroup. Unfortunately, this
propagation was missing leading to the following failure.
# cd /sys/fs/cgroup/unified
# cat cgroup.subtree_control # show that no controllers are enabled
# mkdir -p mycgrp/a/b/c
# echo threaded > mycgrp/a/b/cgroup.type
At this point, the hierarchy looks as follows:
mycgrp [d]
a [dt]
b [t]
c [inv]
Now let's make node "a" threaded (and thus "mycgrp" s made "domain threaded"):
# echo threaded > mycgrp/a/cgroup.type
By this point, we now have a hierarchy that looks as follows:
mycgrp [dt]
a [t]
b [t]
c [inv]
But, when we try to convert the node "c" from "domain invalid" to
"threaded", we get ENOTSUP on the write():
# echo threaded > mycgrp/a/b/c/cgroup.type
sh: echo: write error: Operation not supported
This patch fixes the problem by
* Moving the opencoded ->dom_cgrp save and restoration in
cgroup_enable_threaded() into cgroup_{save|restore}_control() so
that mulitple cgroups can be handled.
* Updating all threaded descendants' ->dom_cgrp to point to the new
dom_cgrp when enabling threaded mode.

parent. This means that threads can trigger hinting faults earlier than
a new task which delays scanning for a number of seconds. As it can be
load balanced very early in its lifetime there can be an unnecessary delay
before it starts migrating thread-local data. This patch migrates private
pages faster early in the lifetime of a thread using the sequence counter
as an identifier of new tasks.
With this patch applied, STREAM performance is the same as 4.17 even though
processes are not spread cross-node prematurely. Other workloads showed
a mix of minor gains and losses. This is somewhat expected most workloads
are not very sensitive to the starting conditions of a process.
