      perf symbols: Make sure --symfs usage includes the path separator · 972f393b
      由 Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo 提交于 
      Minchan reported that perf failed to load vmlinux if --symfs argument
doesn't end with '/' character.

Fix it by making sure that the '/' path separator is used when composing
pathnames with a --symfs provided directory name.

      perf evlist: Don't run workload if not told to · 5f1c4225
      由 Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo 提交于 
      The perf_evlist__prepare_workload() method works by forking and then
waiting on a fd that must be written to to allow the workload to be
exec()ed.

But if the tool calling it fails to, say, set up the events with which
it wants to sample the workload for, it will not call
perf_evlist__start_workload(), but even in this case the workload ended
up running:

  [acme@zoo linux]$ trace /bin/echo workload ends up running, it should not...
  Couldn't mmap the events: Operation not permitted
  workload ends up running, it should not...
  [acme@zoo linux]$

So check if at least one byte was written before letting exec() be
called.

Now the expected behaviour:

  [acme@zoo linux]$ trace /bin/echo workload ends up running, it should not...
  Couldn't mmap the events: Operation not permitted
  [acme@zoo linux]$

      Fix gcc-4.9.0 miscompilation of load_balance() in scheduler · 2062afb4
      由 Linus Torvalds 提交于 
      Michel Dänzer and a couple of other people reported inexplicable random
oopses in the scheduler, and the cause turns out to be gcc mis-compiling
the load_balance() function when debugging is enabled.  The gcc bug
apparently goes back to gcc-4.5, but slight optimization changes means
that it now showed up as a problem in 4.9.0 and 4.9.1.

The instruction scheduling problem causes gcc to schedule a spill
operation to before the stack frame has been created, which in turn can
corrupt the spilled value if an interrupt comes in.  There may be other
effects of this bug too, but that's the code generation problem seen in
Michel's case.

This is fixed in current gcc HEAD, but the workaround as suggested by
Markus Trippelsdorf is pretty simple: use -fno-var-tracking-assignments
when compiling the kernel, which disables the gcc code that causes the
problem.  This can result in slightly worse debug information for
variable accesses, but that is infinitely preferable to actual code
generation problems.

Doing this unconditionally (not just for CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO) also allows
non-debug builds to verify that the debug build would be identical: we
can do

    export GCC_COMPARE_DEBUG=1

to make gcc internally verify that the result of the build is
independent of the "-g" flag (it will make the compiler build everything
twice, toggling the debug flag, and compare the results).

Without the "-fno-var-tracking-assignments" option, the build would fail
(even with 4.8.3 that didn't show the actual stack frame bug) with a gcc
compare failure.

      mm: fix direct reclaim writeback regression · 8bdd6380
      由 Hugh Dickins 提交于 
      Shortly before 3.16-rc1, Dave Jones reported:

  WARNING: CPU: 3 PID: 19721 at fs/xfs/xfs_aops.c:971
           xfs_vm_writepage+0x5ce/0x630 [xfs]()

  etc.

 970   if (WARN_ON_ONCE((current->flags & (PF_MEMALLOC|PF_KSWAPD)) ==
 971                   PF_MEMALLOC))

I did not respond at the time, because a glance at the PageDirty block
in shrink_page_list() quickly shows that this is impossible: we don't do
writeback on file pages (other than tmpfs) from direct reclaim nowadays.
Dave was hallucinating, but it would have been disrespectful to say so.

However, my own /var/log/messages now shows similar complaints

  WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 28814 at fs/ext4/inode.c:1881 ext4_writepage+0xa7/0x38b()
  WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 27347 at fs/ext4/inode.c:1764 ext4_writepage+0xa7/0x38b()

from stressing some mmotm trees during July.

Could a dirty xfs or ext4 file page somehow get marked PageSwapBacked,
so fail shrink_page_list()'s page_is_file_cache() test, and so proceed
to mapping->a_ops->writepage()?

Yes, 3.16-rc1's commit 68711a74 ("mm, migration: add destination
page freeing callback") has provided such a way to compaction: if
migrating a SwapBacked page fails, its newpage may be put back on the
list for later use with PageSwapBacked still set, and nothing will clear
it.

Whether that can do anything worse than issue WARN_ON_ONCEs, and get
some statistics wrong, is unclear: easier to fix than to think through
the consequences.

Fixing it here, before the put_new_page(), addresses the bug directly,
but is probably the worst place to fix it.  Page migration is doing too
many parts of the job on too many levels: fixing it in
move_to_new_page() to complement its SetPageSwapBacked would be
preferable, except why is it (and newpage->mapping and newpage->index)
done there, rather than down in migrate_page_move_mapping(), once we are
sure of success? Not a cleanup to get into right now, especially not
with memcg cleanups coming in 3.17.

      Merge branch 'drm-fixes' of git://people.freedesktop.org/~airlied/linux · b401796c
      由 Linus Torvalds 提交于 
      Pull drm fixes from Dave Airlie:
 "This is radeon and intel fixes, and is a small bit larger than I'm
  guessing you'd like it to be.

   - i915: fixes 32-bit highmem i915 blank screen, semaphore hang and
     runtime pm fix

   - radeon: gpuvm stability fix for hangs since 3.15, and hang/reboot
     regression on TN/RL devices,

  The only slightly controversial one is the change to use GB for the
  vm_size, which I'm letting through as its a new interface we defined
  in this merge window, and I'd prefer to have the released kernel have
  the final interface rather than changing it later"
