This leads to a Kconfig dep inversion, x86 selects PERF_EVENT (due to a hw_breakpoint dep) but doesn't unconditionally provide HAVE_PERF_EVENT.

In a kvm virt guests, the perf counters are not emulated. Instead they return zero on a rdmsrl. The perf nmi handler uses the fact that crossing a zero means the counter overflowed (for those counters that do not have specific interrupt bits). Therefore on kvm guests, perf will swallow all NMIs thinking the counters overflowed. This causes problems for subsystems like kgdb which needs NMIs to do its magic. This problem was discovered by running kgdb tests. The solution is to write garbage into a perf counter during the initialization and hopefully reading back the same number. On kvm guests, the value will be read back as zero and we disable perf as a result.

It was found that sometimes children of tasks with inherited events had one extra event. Eventually it turned out to be due to the list rotation no being exclusive with the list iteration in the inheritance code.

At least on ARM, padding is inserted between rb_node and sym in struct symbol_name_rb_node, causing "((void *)sym) - sizeof(struct rb_node)" to point inside rb_node rather than to the symbol_name_rb_node.

Oleg noticed that a perf-fd keeping a reference on the creating task leads to a few funny side effects. There's two different aspects to this: - kernel based perf-events, these should not take out a reference on the creating task and appear on the task's event list since they're not bound to fds nor visible to userspace. - fork() and pthread_create(), these can lead to the creating task dying (and thus the task's event-list becomming useless) but keeping the list and ref alive until the event is closed. Combined they lead to malfunction of the ptrace hw_tracepoints. Cure this by not considering kernel based perf_events for the owner-list and destroying the owner-list when the owner dies.

The addition of CONFIG_SECURITY_DMESG_RESTRICT resulted in a build failure when CONFIG_PRINTK=n. This is because the capabilities code which used the new option was built even though the variable in question didn't exist. The patch here fixes this by moving the capabilities checks out of the LSM and into the caller. All (known) LSMs should have been calling the capabilities hook already so it actually makes the code organization better to eliminate the hook altogether.

Delete unused I2C adapter IDs. Special cases are: * I2C_HW_B_RIVA was still set in driver rivafb, however no other driver is ever looking for this value, so we can safely remove it. * I2C_HW_B_HDPVR is used in staging driver lirc_zilog, however no adapter ID is ever set to this value, so the code in question never runs. As the code additionally expects that I2C_HW_B_HDPVR may not be defined, we can delete it now and let the lirc_zilog driver maintainer rewrite this piece of code.

The fix in commit 6b4e81db ("i8k: Tell gcc that *regs gets clobbered") to work around the gcc miscompiling i8k.c to add "+m (*regs)" caused register pressure problems and a build failure. Changing the 'asm' statement to 'asm volatile' instead should prevent that and works around the gcc bug as well, so we can remove the "+m". [ Background on the gcc bug: a memory clobber fails to mark the function the asm resides in as non-pure (aka "__attribute__((const))"), so if the function does nothing else that triggers the non-pure logic, gcc will think that that function has no side effects at all. As a result, callers will be mis-compiled. Adding the "+m" made gcc see that it's not a pure function, and so does "asm volatile". The problem was never really the need to mark "*regs" as changed, since the memory clobber did that part - the problem was just a bug in the gcc "pure" function analysis - Linus ] Signed-off-by: NJim Bos <jim876@xs4all.nl> Acked-by: NJakub Jelinek <jakub@redhat.com> Cc: Andi Kleen <andi@firstfloor.org> Cc: Andreas Schwab <schwab@linux-m68k.org> Signed-off-by: NLinus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

This area of the code has always been a bit delicate due to the subtleties of lock ordering. The problem is that for "normal" alloc/dealloc, we always grab the inode locks first and the rgrp lock later. In order to ensure no races in looking up the unlinked, but still allocated inodes, we need to hold the rgrp lock when we do the lookup, which means that we can't take the inode glock. The solution is to borrow the technique already used by NFS to solve what is essentially the same problem (given an inode number, look up the inode carefully, checking that it really is in the expected state). We cannot do that directly from the allocation code (lock ordering again) so we give the job to the pre-existing delete workqueue and carry on with the allocation as normal. If we find there is no space, we do a journal flush (required anyway if space from a deallocation is to be released) which should block against the pending deallocations, so we should always get the space back.
