      perf: Do the big rename: Performance Counters -> Performance Events · cdd6c482
      Ingo Molnar 提交于
      Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events!
      
      In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its
      initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is
      becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging,
      monitoring, analysis facility.
      
      Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem
      'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending
      code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and
      less appropriate.
      
      All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance
      events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables
      and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion)
      
      The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes
      it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well.
      
      Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and
      suggested a rename.
      
      User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch
      should be function-invariant. (Also, defconfigs were not touched to
      keep the size down.)
      
      This patch has been generated via the following script:
      
        FILES=$(find * -type f | grep -vE 'oprofile|[^K]config')
      
        sed -i \
          -e 's/PERF_EVENT_/PERF_RECORD_/g' \
          -e 's/PERF_COUNTER/PERF_EVENT/g' \
          -e 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g' \
          -e 's/nb_counters/nb_events/g' \
          -e 's/swcounter/swevent/g' \
          -e 's/tpcounter_event/tp_event/g' \
          $FILES
      
        for N in $(find . -name perf_counter.[ch]); do
          M=$(echo $N | sed 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g')
          mv $N $M
        done
      
        FILES=$(find . -name perf_event.*)
      
        sed -i \
          -e 's/COUNTER_MASK/REG_MASK/g' \
          -e 's/COUNTER/EVENT/g' \
          -e 's/\<event\>/event_id/g' \
          -e 's/counter/event/g' \
          -e 's/Counter/Event/g' \
          $FILES
      
      ... to keep it as correct as possible. This script can also be
      used by anyone who has pending perfcounters patches - it converts
      a Linux kernel tree over to the new naming. We tried to time this
      change to the point in time where the amount of pending patches
      is the smallest: the end of the merge window.
      
      Namespace clashes were fixed up in a preparatory patch - and some
      stylistic fallout will be fixed up in a subsequent patch.
      
      ( NOTE: 'counters' are still the proper terminology when we deal
        with hardware registers - and these sed scripts are a bit
        over-eager in renaming them. I've undone some of that, but
        in case there's something left where 'counter' would be
        better than 'event' we can undo that on an individual basis
        instead of touching an otherwise nicely automated patch. )

      KEYS: Add a keyctl to install a process's session keyring on its parent [try #6] · ee18d64c
      David Howells 提交于
      Add a keyctl to install a process's session keyring onto its parent.  This
      replaces the parent's session keyring.  Because the COW credential code does
      not permit one process to change another process's credentials directly, the
      change is deferred until userspace next starts executing again.  Normally this
      will be after a wait*() syscall.
      
      To support this, three new security hooks have been provided:
      cred_alloc_blank() to allocate unset security creds, cred_transfer() to fill in
      the blank security creds and key_session_to_parent() - which asks the LSM if
      the process may replace its parent's session keyring.
      
      The replacement may only happen if the process has the same ownership details
      as its parent, and the process has LINK permission on the session keyring, and
      the session keyring is owned by the process, and the LSM permits it.
      
      Note that this requires alteration to each architecture's notify_resume path.
      This has been done for all arches barring blackfin, m68k* and xtensa, all of
      which need assembly alteration to support TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME.  This allows the
      replacement to be performed at the point the parent process resumes userspace
      execution.
      
      This allows the userspace AFS pioctl emulation to fully emulate newpag() and
      the VIOCSETTOK and VIOCSETTOK2 pioctls, all of which require the ability to
      alter the parent process's PAG membership.  However, since kAFS doesn't use
      PAGs per se, but rather dumps the keys into the session keyring, the session
      keyring of the parent must be replaced if, for example, VIOCSETTOK is passed
      the newpag flag.
      
      This can be tested with the following program:
      
      	#include <stdio.h>
      	#include <stdlib.h>
      	#include <keyutils.h>
      
      	#define KEYCTL_SESSION_TO_PARENT	18
      
      	#define OSERROR(X, S) do { if ((long)(X) == -1) { perror(S); exit(1); } } while(0)
      
      	int main(int argc, char **argv)
      	{
      		key_serial_t keyring, key;
      		long ret;
      
      		keyring = keyctl_join_session_keyring(argv[1]);
      		OSERROR(keyring, "keyctl_join_session_keyring");
      
      		key = add_key("user", "a", "b", 1, keyring);
      		OSERROR(key, "add_key");
      
      		ret = keyctl(KEYCTL_SESSION_TO_PARENT);
      		OSERROR(ret, "KEYCTL_SESSION_TO_PARENT");
      
      		return 0;
      	}
      
      Compiled and linked with -lkeyutils, you should see something like:
      
      	[dhowells@andromeda ~]$ keyctl show
      	Session Keyring
      	       -3 --alswrv   4043  4043  keyring: _ses
      	355907932 --alswrv   4043    -1   \_ keyring: _uid.4043
      	[dhowells@andromeda ~]$ /tmp/newpag
      	[dhowells@andromeda ~]$ keyctl show
      	Session Keyring
      	       -3 --alswrv   4043  4043  keyring: _ses
      	1055658746 --alswrv   4043  4043   \_ user: a
      	[dhowells@andromeda ~]$ /tmp/newpag hello
      	[dhowells@andromeda ~]$ keyctl show
      	Session Keyring
      	       -3 --alswrv   4043  4043  keyring: hello
      	340417692 --alswrv   4043  4043   \_ user: a
      
      Where the test program creates a new session keyring, sticks a user key named
      'a' into it and then installs it on its parent.

      KEYS: Extend TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME to (almost) all architectures [try #6] · d0420c83
      David Howells 提交于
      Implement TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME for most of those architectures in which isn't yet
      available, and, whilst we're at it, have it call the appropriate tracehook.
      
      After this patch, blackfin, m68k* and xtensa still lack support and need
      alteration of assembly code to make it work.
      
      Resume notification can then be used (by a later patch) to install a new
      session keyring on the parent of a process.

      This sockopt goes in line with SO_TYPE and SO_PROTOCOL. It makes it
      possible for userspace programs to pass around file descriptors — I
      am referring to arguments-to-functions, but it may even work for the
      fd passing over UNIX sockets — without needing to also pass the

      Jan Engelhardt 提交于
      Similar to SO_TYPE returning the socket type, SO_PROTOCOL allows to
      retrieve the protocol used with a given socket.
      
      I am not quite sure why we have that-many copies of socket.h, and why
      the values are not the same on all arches either, but for where hex
      numbers dominate, I use 0x1029 for SO_PROTOCOL as that seems to be
      the next free unused number across a bunch of operating systems, or
      so Google results make me want to believe. SO_PROTOCOL for others
      just uses the next free Linux number, 38.

      mm: Pass virtual address to [__]p{te,ud,md}_free_tlb() · 9e1b32ca
      Benjamin Herrenschmidt 提交于
      mm: Pass virtual address to [__]p{te,ud,md}_free_tlb()
      
      Upcoming paches to support the new 64-bit "BookE" powerpc architecture
      will need to have the virtual address corresponding to PTE page when
      freeing it, due to the way the HW table walker works.
      
      Basically, the TLB can be loaded with "large" pages that cover the whole
      virtual space (well, sort-of, half of it actually) represented by a PTE
      page, and which contain an "indirect" bit indicating that this TLB entry
      RPN points to an array of PTEs from which the TLB can then create direct
      entries. Thus, in order to invalidate those when PTE pages are deleted,
      we need the virtual address to pass to tlbilx or tlbivax instructions.
      
      The old trick of sticking it somewhere in the PTE page struct page sucks
      too much, the address is almost readily available in all call sites and
      almost everybody implemets these as macros, so we may as well add the
      argument everywhere. I added it to the pmd and pud variants for consistency.

      linker script: unify usage of discard definition · 023bf6f1
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      Discarded sections in different archs share some commonality but have
      considerable differences.  This led to linker script for each arch
      implementing its own /DISCARD/ definition, which makes maintaining
      tedious and adding new entries error-prone.
      
      This patch makes all linker scripts to move discard definitions to the
      end of the linker script and use the common DISCARDS macro.  As ld
      uses the first matching section definition, archs can include default
      discarded sections by including them earlier in the linker script.
      
      ia64 is notable because it first throws away some ia64 specific
      subsections and then include the rest of the sections into the final
      image, so those sections must be discarded before the inclusion.
      
      defconfig compile tested for x86, x86-64, powerpc, powerpc64, ia64,
      alpha, sparc, sparc64 and s390.  Michal Simek tested microblaze.
