When a program crashes under perf there is no message about it, unlike
when running it from bash. This can be confusing and lead to wrong
actions during debugging.

Print fatal signals in perf stat/record.

For pretty output only (preserve column for cvs output), dont print
std-deviation when its 0.00.  Do this based upon value, instead of
checking for --no-aggr, since the stats could conceivably be computed
over the runs on each CPU, and theres no reason to preclude that.

Without this patch, running:

$ sudo ./perf stat -r20 --no-aggr -a perl -e '$i++ for 1..100000'

I get computations like this:

but with patch, I get:

CPU0              8.233682 task-clock                #    0.754 CPUs utilized            ( +-  0.00% )

Note that without --no-aggr, I get non-0 statistics both before and after patch:

        231.986022 task-clock                #    4.030 CPUs utilized            ( +-  0.97% )

I couldnt see anything wrong in the caller, so fixed it in
stddev_stats().  ISTM that 0.00 is better than nan, since perf stat was
passed -A (--no-aggr) so no standard deviation should be expected, and
nan is suggestive of a deeper error.

When running with --no-aggr, perhaps we should suppress the statistics
printing entirely, or do so when they are 0.00.

This perf stat option emulates valgrind's --log-fd option, allowing the
user to send perf results elsewhere, and leaving stderr for use by the
program under test.  This complements --output file option, and is
mutually exclusive with it.

   3>results  perf stat --log-fd 3          -- $cmd
   3>>results perf stat --log-fd 3 --append -- $cmd

The perl distro's make test.valgrind target uses valgrind's --log-fd
option, I've adapted it to invoke perf also, and tested this patch
there.

A while back I created the dropmonitor protocol, which allowed users to get
reports of dropped frames communicated to them via a netlink socket.

While useful, several people have now asked that I integrate the ability
to do drop monitoring with perf, so they don't have to run additional
tools.

This patch adds a drop monitor script to the perf suite, and provides
the same output that the netlink socket does.

xz_dec_run() could incorrectly return XZ_BUF_ERROR if all of the
following was true:

 - The caller knows how many bytes of output to expect and only provides
   that much output space.

 - When the last output bytes are decoded, the caller-provided input
   buffer ends right before the LZMA2 end of payload marker.  So LZMA2
   won't provide more output anymore, but it won't know it yet and thus
   won't return XZ_STREAM_END yet.

 - A BCJ filter is in use and it hasn't left any unfiltered bytes in the
   temp buffer.  This can happen with any BCJ filter, but in practice
   it's more likely with filters other than the x86 BCJ.

This fixes <https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=735408> where
Squashfs thinks that a valid file system is corrupt.

This also fixes a similar bug in single-call mode where the uncompressed
size of a block using BCJ + LZMA2 was 0 bytes and caller provided no
output space.  Many empty .xz files don't contain any blocks and thus
don't trigger this bug.

This also tweaks a closely related detail: xz_dec_bcj_run() could call
xz_dec_lzma2_run() to decode into temp buffer when it was known to be
useless.  This was harmless although it wasted a minuscule number of CPU
cycles.

That then suppresses all following messages, including all the errors

It detects transparent hugepages and then does a single gather_stats()

We need to teach the numa_maps code about transparent huge pages.  The
first step is to teach gather_stats() that the pte it is dealing with
might represent more than one page.

Note that will we use this in a moment for transparent huge pages since
they have use a single pmd_t which _acts_ as a "surrogate" for a bunch
of smaller pte_t's.

I'm a _bit_ unhappy that this interface counts in hugetlbfs page sizes
for hugetlbfs pages and PAGE_SIZE for normal pages.  That means that to
figure out how many _bytes_ "dirty=1" means, you must first know the
hugetlbfs page size.  That's easier said than done especially if you
don't have visibility in to the mount.

But, that's probably a discussion for another day especially since it
would change behavior to fix it.  But, just in case anyone wonders why
this patch only passes a '1' in the hugetlb case...

When asyncronous crypto algorithms are used, there might be many
packets that passed the xfrm replay check, but the replay advance
function is not called yet for these packets. So the replay check
function would accept a replay of all of these packets. Also the
system might crash if there are more packets in async processing
than the size of the anti replay window, because the replay advance
function would try to update the replay window beyond the bounds.

This pach adds a second replay check after resuming from the async
processing to fix these issues.

we can also fix the driver to make sure we don't mess up in other arches as

Moving the initialization of the base address to the

Commit 88491d81(drivers/net: Kconfig & Makefile cleanup) causes a
regression that netconsole does not work if netconsole and network
device driver are build into kernel, because netconsole is linked
before network device driver.

Andrew Morton suggested to fix this with initcall ordering.
Fixes it by switching init_netconsole() to late_initcall.

This function may currently fill one entry beyond the end of the
array it is given.  It also doesn't return an error code in case
it does detect overflow.

When using MLPPP, the maximum size of a fragment is incorrectly
calculated with an offset of -2.
This patch reverses the changes in the patch found here:
http://marc.info/?l=linux-netdev&m=123541324010539&w=2

The value of hdrlen includes the size of both the 2-byte PPP protocol
field and the 2- or 4-byte multilink header (2+4=6 for long sequence
numbers, 2+2=4 for short sequence numbers). Section 2 of RFC1661 says
that the MRU that is negotiated (i.e., the MTU of the sending system)
includes only the PPP payload but not the protocol field, thus the
correct MTU should be the link's MTU minus the multilink header (mtu -
(hdrlen-2)).

The incorrect calculation causes Linux to fragment packets to a size two
bytes smaller than the allowed MTU. While not technically illegal, this
behaviour confounds MRU-tuning to avoid PPP-layer fragmentation.

The GRETH GBIT core does not do checksum offloading for IP
segmentation. This patch adds a check in the xmit function to
determine if the stack has calculated the checksum for us.
