... Also fix an issue where _get_attempt was called with only
one argument. This prevented the error message from printing
the name of the variable that can be used to fix the problem.
However, The "missing" argument was in fact missing on purpose; it's
absence is a signal that the error message should be skipped, because
the failure would be due to the default value, not any user-supplied
value. This can be seen in how `_ge_attempt' uses `gea_err' (in the
config/utilities.mak file):
_ge_attempt = $(if $(get-executable),$(get-executable),$(_gea_warn)$(call _gea_err,$(2)))
_gea_warn = $(warning The path '$(1)' is not executable.)
_gea_err = $(if $(1),$(error Please set '$(1)' appropriately))
That is, because the argument is no longer missing, the value `$(1)'
(associated with `_gea_err') always evaluates to true, thus always
triggering the error condition that is meant to be reserved for
only the case when a user explicitly supplies an invalid value.
Concretely, the result is a regression in the Makefile's configuration
of python support; rather than gracefully disable support when the
relevant executables cannot be found according to default values, the
build process halts in error as though the user explicitly supplied
the values.
This new commit simply reverts the offending one-line change.

perf symbols: Fix vdso list searching
When "perf record" was used on a large machine with a lot of CPUs, the
perf post-processing time (the time after the workload was done until
the perf command itself exited) could take a lot of minutes and even
hours depending on how large the resulting perf.data file was.
While running AIM7 1500-user high_systime workload on a 80-core x86-64
system with a 3.9 kernel (with only the -s -a options used), the
workload itself took about 2 minutes to run and the perf.data file had a
size of 1108.746 MB. However, the post-processing step took more than 10
minutes.
With a gprof-profiled perf binary, the time spent by perf was as
follows:
It was found that the vdso__dso_findnew() function failed to locate
VDSO__MAP_NAME ("[vdso]") in the dso list and have to insert a new
entry at the end for 192156 times. This problem is due to the fact that
there are 2 types of name in the dso entry - short name and long name.
The initial dso__new() adds "[vdso]" to both the short and long names.
After that, vdso__dso_findnew() modifies the long name to something
like /tmp/perf-vdso.so-NoXkDj. The dsos__find() function only compares
the long name. As a result, the same vdso entry is duplicated many
time in the dso list. This bug increases memory consumption as well
as slows the symbol processing time to a crawl.
To resolve this problem, the dsos__find() function interface was
modified to enable searching either the long name or the short
name. The vdso__dso_findnew() will now search only the short name
while the other call sites search for the long name as before.
With this change, the cpu time of perf was reduced from 848.38s to
15.77s and dsos__find() only accounted for 0.06% of the total time.

perf tools: fix a typo of a Power7 event name
In the Power7 PMU guide:
https://www.power.org/documentation/commonly-used-metrics-for-performance-analysis/
PM_BRU_MPRED is referred to as PM_BR_MPRED.
It fixed the typo by changing the name of the event in kernel and
documentation accordingly.
This patch changes the ABI, there are some reasons I think it's ok:
- It is relatively new interface, specific to the Power7 platform.
- No tools that we know of actually use this interface at this point
(none are listed near the interface).
- Users of this interface (eg oprofile users migrating to perf)
would be more used to the "PM_BR_MPRED" rather than "PM_BRU_MPRED".

When perf tries to start a workload, it relies on a pipe which the
workload was blocked for reading. After closing the pipe on the parent,
the workload (child) can start the actual work via exec().
However, if another process was forked after creating a workload, this
mechanism cannot work since the other process (child) also inherits the
pipe, so that closing the pipe in parent cannot unblock the workload.
Fix it by using explicit write call can then closing it.
For similar reason, the pipe fd on parent should be marked as CLOEXEC so
that it can be closed after another child exec'ed.

perf stat: Avoid sending SIGTERM to random processes
This patch fixes a problem with perf stat whereby on termination it may
send a SIGTERM signal to random processes on systems with high PID
recycling. I got some actual bug reports on this.
There is race between the SIGCHLD and sig_atexit() handlers. This patch
addresses this problem by clearing child_pid in the SIGCHLD handler.

14c63f17b1fd perf: Drop sample rate when sampling is too slow

Pull voluntary preemption fixes from Ingo Molnar:
"This tree contains a speedup which is achieved through better
might_sleep()/might_fault() preemption point annotations for uaccess
functions, by Michael S Tsirkin:
1. The only reason uaccess routines might sleep is if they fault.
Make this explicit for all architectures.
2. A voluntary preemption point in uaccess functions means compiler
can't inline them efficiently, this breaks assumptions that they
are very fast and small that e.g. net code seems to make. Remove
this preemption point so behaviour matches with what callers
assume.
3. Accesses (e.g through socket ops) to kernel memory with KERNEL_DS
like net/sunrpc does will never sleep. Remove an unconditinal
might_sleep() in the might_fault() inline in kernel.h (used when
PROVE_LOCKING is not set).
4. Accesses with pagefault_disable() return EFAULT but won't cause
caller to sleep. Check for that and thus avoid might_sleep() when
PROVE_LOCKING is set.

machine and the host:

As we proceed to untangle the dependencies between platform code and

shrinking, for 3.11 we have 16 branches here and 101 non-merge
changesets, the majority of which are for the stedma40 dma engine
driver used in the ux500 platform. Cleaning up that code touches
multiple subsystems, but gets rid of the dependency in the end.
The mailbox code moved out from mach-omap2 to drivers/mailbox is an
intermediate step and is still omap specific at the moment. Patches
exist to generalize the subsystem and add other drivers with the same

Merge tag 'boards-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm/arm-soc
Pull ARM SoC board specific changes from Arnd Bergmann:
"These are 18 branches on 9 platforms with board specific changes,
mostly for defconfig files, but nothing really exciting in here.
Since the shmobile platform still uses board files for some of the
newer machines, we get a few changes there as the result of drivers
getting enabled for those boards. This causes some conflicts with
contents getting added from multiple branches in sh-mobile specific
files. Renesas is putting a lot of work into migrating to device-tree
based setup, which will make all those files obsolete in the future
and avoid both the conflicts and the need to have these files in the
first place."

Merge tag 'soc-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm/arm-soc
Pull ARM SoC specific changes from Arnd Bergmann:
"These changes are all to SoC-specific code, a total of 33 branches on
17 platforms were pulled into this. Like last time, Renesas sh-mobile
is now the platform with the most changes, followed by OMAP and
EXYNOS.
Two new platforms, TI Keystone and Rockchips RK3xxx are added in this
branch, both containing almost no platform specific code at all, since
they are using generic subsystem interfaces for clocks, pinctrl,
interrupts etc. The device drivers are getting merged through the
respective subsystem maintainer trees.
One more SoC (u300) is now multiplatform capable and several others
(shmobile, exynos, msm, integrator, kirkwood, clps711x) are moving
towards that goal with this series but need more work.
Also noteworthy is the work on PCI here, which is traditionally part
of the SoC specific code. With the changes done by Thomas Petazzoni,
we can now more easily have PCI host controller drivers as loadable
modules and keep them separate from the platform code in
drivers/pci/host. This has already led to the discovery that three
platforms (exynos, spear and imx) are actually using an identical PCIe
host controller and will be able to share a driver once support for
spear and imx is added."

Pull ext4 update from Ted Ts'o:
"Lots of bug fixes, cleanups and optimizations. In the bug fixes
category, of note is a fix for on-line resizing file systems where the
block size is smaller than the page size (i.e., file systems 1k blocks
on x86, or more interestingly file systems with 4k blocks on Power or
ia64 systems.)
In the cleanup category, the ext4's punch hole implementation was
significantly improved by Lukas Czerner, and now supports bigalloc
file systems. In addition, Jan Kara significantly cleaned up the
write submission code path. We also improved error checking and added
a few sanity checks.
In the optimizations category, two major optimizations deserve
mention. The first is that ext4_writepages() is now used for
nodelalloc and ext3 compatibility mode. This allows writes to be
submitted much more efficiently as a single bio request, instead of
being sent as individual 4k writes into the block layer (which then
relied on the elevator code to coalesce the requests in the block
queue). Secondly, the extent cache shrink mechanism, which was
introduce in 3.9, no longer has a scalability bottleneck caused by the
i_es_lru spinlock. Other optimizations include some changes to reduce
CPU usage and to avoid issuing empty commits unnecessarily."
