Pull perf/core improvements and fixes from Arnaldo:
kernel:
Stephane Eranian :
- Restore mmap record type correctly when handling PERF_RECORD_MMAP2
events, as the same template is used for all the threads interested
in mmap events, some may want just PERF_RECORD_MMAP, while some
may want the extra info in MMAP2 records.
perf probe:
Adrian Hunter:
- Fix getting the kernel map, because since changes related to x86 PTI
entry trampolines handling, there are more than one kernel map.
perf script:
Andi Kleen:
- Support insn output for normal samples, i.e.:
perf script -F ip,sym,insn --xed
Will fetch the sample IP from the thread address space and feed it
to Intel's XED disassembler, producing lines such as:
ffffffffa4068804 native_write_msr wrmsr
ffffffffa415b95e __hrtimer_next_event_base movq 0x18(%rax), %rdx
That match 'perf annotate's output.
- Make the --cpu filter apply to PERF_RECORD_COMM/FORK/... events, in
addition to PERF_RECORD_SAMPLE.
perf report:
- Add a new --samples option to save a small random number of samples
per hist entry, using a reservoir technique to select a representative
number of samples.
Then allow browsing the samples using 'perf script' as part of the hist
entry context menu. This automatically adds the right filters, so only
the thread or CPU of the sample is displayed. Then we use less' search
functionality to directly jump to the time stamp of the selected sample.
It uses different menus for assembler and source display. Assembler
needs xed installed and source needs debuginfo.
- Fix the UI browser scripts pop up menu when there are many scripts
available.
perf report:
Andi Kleen:
- Add 'time' sort option. E.g.:
% perf report --sort time,overhead,symbol --time-quantum 1ms --stdio

In this commit:
3b1baa6496 ("sched/fair: Add 'group_misfit_task' load-balance type")
we set rq->misfit_task_load whenever the current running task has a
utilization greater than 80% of rq->cpu_capacity. A non-zero value in
this field enables misfit load balancing.
However, if the task being looked at is already running on a CPU of
highest capacity, there's nothing more we can do for it. We can
currently spot this in update_sd_pick_busiest(), which prevents us
from selecting a sched_group of group_type == group_misfit_task as the
busiest group, but we don't do any of that in nohz_balancer_kick().
This means that we could repeatedly kick NOHZ CPUs when there's no
improvements in terms of load balance to be done.
Introduce a check_misfit_status() helper that returns true iff there
is a CPU in the system that could give more CPU capacity to a rq's
misfit task - IOW, there exists a CPU of higher capacity_orig or the
rq's CPU is severely pressured by rt/IRQ.

Pull pidfd system call from Christian Brauner:
"This introduces the ability to use file descriptors from /proc/<pid>/
as stable handles on struct pid. Even if a pid is recycled the handle
will not change. For a start these fds can be used to send signals to
the processes they refer to.
With the ability to use /proc/<pid> fds as stable handles on struct
pid we can fix a long-standing issue where after a process has exited
its pid can be reused by another process. If a caller sends a signal
to a reused pid it will end up signaling the wrong process.
With this patchset we enable a variety of use cases. One obvious
example is that we can now safely delegate an important part of
process management - sending signals - to processes other than the
parent of a given process by sending file descriptors around via scm
rights and not fearing that the given process will have been recycled
in the meantime. It also allows for easy testing whether a given
process is still alive or not by sending signal 0 to a pidfd which is
quite handy.
There has been some interest in this feature e.g. from systems
management (systemd, glibc) and container managers. I have requested
and gotten comments from glibc to make sure that this syscall is
suitable for their needs as well. In the future I expect it to take on
most other pid-based signal syscalls. But such features are left for
the future once they are needed.
This has been sitting in linux-next for quite a while and has not
caused any issues. It comes with selftests which verify basic
functionality and also test that a recycled pid cannot be signaled via
a pidfd.
Jon has written about a prior version of this patchset. It should
cover the basic functionality since not a lot has changed since then:
https://lwn.net/Articles/773459/
The commit message for the syscall itself is extensively documenting
the syscall, including it's functionality and extensibility"

Pull device-dax updates from Dan Williams:
"New device-dax infrastructure to allow persistent memory and other
"reserved" / performance differentiated memories, to be assigned to
the core-mm as "System RAM".
Some users want to use persistent memory as additional volatile
memory. They are willing to cope with potential performance
differences, for example between DRAM and 3D Xpoint, and want to use
typical Linux memory management apis rather than a userspace memory
allocator layered over an mmap() of a dax file. The administration
model is to decide how much Persistent Memory (pmem) to use as System
RAM, create a device-dax-mode namespace of that size, and then assign
it to the core-mm. The rationale for device-dax is that it is a
generic memory-mapping driver that can be layered over any "special
purpose" memory, not just pmem. On subsequent boots udev rules can be
used to restore the memory assignment.
One implication of using pmem as RAM is that mlock() no longer keeps
data off persistent media. For this reason it is recommended to enable
NVDIMM Security (previously merged for 5.0) to encrypt pmem contents
at rest. We considered making this recommendation an actively enforced
requirement, but in the end decided to leave it as a distribution /
administrator policy to allow for emulation and test environments that
lack security capable NVDIMMs.
Summary:
- Replace the /sys/class/dax device model with /sys/bus/dax, and
include a compat driver so distributions can opt-in to the new ABI.
- Allow for an alternative driver for the device-dax address-range
- Introduce the 'kmem' driver to hotplug / assign a device-dax
address-range to the core-mm.
- Arrange for the device-dax target-node to be onlined so that the
newly added memory range can be uniquely referenced by numa apis"
NOTE! I'm not entirely happy with the whole "PMEM as RAM" model because
we currently have special - and very annoying rules in the kernel about
accessing PMEM only with the "MC safe" accessors, because machine checks
inside the regular repeat string copy functions can be fatal in some
(not described) circumstances.
And apparently the PMEM modules can cause that a lot more than regular
RAM. The argument is that this happens because PMEM doesn't necessarily
get scrubbed at boot like RAM does, but that is planned to be added for
the user space tooling.
Quoting Dan from another email:
"The exposure can be reduced in the volatile-RAM case by scanning for
and clearing errors before it is onlined as RAM. The userspace tooling
for that can be in place before v5.1-final. There's also runtime
notifications of errors via acpi_nfit_uc_error_notify() from
background scrubbers on the DIMM devices. With that mechanism the
kernel could proactively clear newly discovered poison in the volatile
case, but that would be additional development more suitable for v5.2.
I understand the concern, and the need to highlight this issue by
tapping the brakes on feature development, but I don't see PMEM as RAM
making the situation worse when the exposure is also there via DAX in
the PMEM case. Volatile-RAM is arguably a safer use case since it's
possible to repair pages where the persistent case needs active
application coordination"
