AT_VECTOR_SIZE_ARCH should be defined with the maximum number of NEW_AUX_ENT entries that ARCH_DLINFO can contain, but it wasn't defined for s390 at all even though ARCH_DLINFO can contain one NEW_AUX_ENT when VDSO is enabled. This shouldn't be a problem as AT_VECTOR_SIZE_BASE includes space for AT_BASE_PLATFORM which s390 doesn't use, but lets define it now and add the comment above ARCH_DLINFO as found in several other architectures to remind future modifiers of ARCH_DLINFO to keep AT_VECTOR_SIZE_ARCH up to date.

Make sure that only those nodes appear in the node_possible_map that may actually be used. Usually that means that the node online and possible maps are identical. For mode "plain" we only have one node, for mode "emu" we have "emu_nodes" nodes. Before this the possible map included (with default config) 16 nodes while usually only one was used. That made a couple of loops that iterated over all possible nodes do more work than necessary.

There is no reason to have this code in assembly language. Therefore convert it to C. Note that this code needs special treatment: it is called very early and one of the side effects is that e.g. the bss section is not cleared.

The hugetlbfs pte<->pmd conversion functions currently assume that the pmd bit layout is consistent with the pte layout, which is not really true. The SW read and write bits are encoded as the sequence "wr" in a pte, but in a pmd it is "rw". The hugetlbfs conversion assumes that the sequence is identical in both cases, which results in swapped read and write bits in the pmd. In practice this is not a problem, because those pmd bits are only relevant for THP pmds and not for hugetlbfs pmds. The hugetlbfs code works on (fake) ptes, and the converted pte bits are correct. There is another variation in pte/pmd encoding which affects dirty prot-none ptes/pmds. In this case, a pmd has both its HW read-only and invalid bit set, while it is only the invalid bit for a pte. This also has no effect in practice, but it should better be consistent. This patch fixes both inconsistencies by changing the SW read/write bit layout for pmds as well as the PAGE_NONE encoding for ptes. It also makes the hugetlbfs conversion functions more robust by introducing a move_set_bit() macro that uses the pte/pmd bit #defines instead of constant shifts.

There are now a number of accounting oddities such as mapped file pages being accounted for on the node while the total number of file pages are accounted on the zone. This can be coped with to some extent but it's confusing so this patch moves the relevant file-based accounted. Due to throttling logic in the page allocator for reliable OOM detection, it is still necessary to track dirty and writeback pages on a per-zone basis.

This updates the generic and arch specific implementation to return true if we need to do a tlb flush. That means if a __tlb_remove_page indicate a flush is needed, the page we try to remove need to be tracked and added again after the flush. We need to track it because we have already update the pte to none and we can't just loop back. This change is done to enable us to do a tlb_flush when we try to flush a range that consists of different page sizes. For architectures like ppc64, we can do a range based tlb flush and we need to track page size for that. When we try to remove a huge page, we will force a tlb flush and starts a new mmu gather.

This patch adds support for non-linear data on raw records. It extends raw records to have one or multiple fragments that will be written linearly into the ring slot, where each fragment can optionally have a custom callback handler to walk and extract complex, possibly non-linear data. If a callback handler is provided for a fragment, then the new __output_custom() will be used instead of __output_copy() for the perf_output_sample() part. perf_prepare_sample() does all the size calculation only once, so perf_output_sample() doesn't need to redo the same work anymore, meaning real_size and padding will be cached in the raw record. The raw record becomes 32 bytes in size without holes; to not increase it further and to avoid doing unnecessary recalculations in fast-path, we can reuse next pointer of the last fragment, idea here is borrowed from ZERO_OR_NULL_PTR(), which should keep the perf_output_sample() path for PERF_SAMPLE_RAW minimal. This facility is needed for BPF's event output helper as a first user that will, in a follow-up, add an additional perf_raw_frag to its perf_raw_record in order to be able to more efficiently dump skb context after a linear head meta data related to it. skbs can be non-linear and thus need a custom output function to dump buffers. Currently, the skb data needs to be copied twice; with the help of __output_custom() this work only needs to be done once. Future users could be things like XDP/BPF programs that work on different context though and would thus also have a different callback function. The few users of raw records are adapted to initialize their frag data from the raw record itself, no change in behavior for them. The code is based upon a PoC diff provided by Peter Zijlstra [1].

__tlb_flush_asce() should never be used if multiple asce belong to a mm. As this function changes mm logic determining if local or global tlb flushes will be neded, we might end up flushing only the gmap asce on all CPUs and a follow up mm asce flushes will only flush on the local CPU, although that asce ran on multiple CPUs. The missing tlb flushes will provoke strange faults in user space and even low address protections in user space, crashing the kernel.

After linking there are several symbols for the same address that the __switch_to symbol points to. E.g.: 000000000089b9c0 T __kprobes_text_start 000000000089b9c0 T __lock_text_end 000000000089b9c0 T __lock_text_start 000000000089b9c0 T __sched_text_end 000000000089b9c0 T __switch_to When disassembling with "objdump -d" this results in a missing __switch_to function. It would be named __kprobes_text_start instead. To unconfuse objdump add a nop in front of the kprobes text section. That way __switch_to appears again. Obviously this solution is sort of a hack, since it also depends on link order if this works or not. However it is the best I can come up with for now.

The __put_get_user_asm defines an inline assmembly which makes use of the asm register construct. The parameters passed to that define may also contain function calls. It is a gcc restriction that between register asm statements and the use of any such annotated variables function calls may clobber the register / variable contents. Or in other words: gcc would generate broken code. This can be achieved e.g. with the following code: get_user(x, func() ? a : b); where the call of func would clobber register zero which is used by the __put_get_user_asm define.

Remove hardware sampler support from oprofile module. The oprofile user space utilty has been switched to use the kernel perf interface, for which we also provide hardware sampling support. In addition the hardware sampling support is also slightly broken: it supports only 16 bits for the pid and therefore would generate wrong results on machines which have a pid >64k. Also the pt_regs structure which was passed to oprofile common code cannot necessarily be used to generate sane backtraces, since the task(s) in question may run while the samples are fed to oprofile. So the result would be more or less random. However given that the only user space tools switched to the perf interface already four years ago the hardware sampler code seems to be unused code, and therefore it should be reasonable to remove it. The timer based oprofile support continues to work.
