5) When we encapsulate for a tunnel device, skb->sk still points to the
user socket. So this leads to cases where we retraverse the
ipv4/ipv6 output path with skb->sk being of some other address
family (f.e. AF_PACKET). This can cause things to crash since the
ipv4 output path is dereferencing an AF_PACKET socket as if it were
an ipv4 one.
The short term fix for 'net' and -stable is to elide these socket
checks once we've entered an encapsulation sequence by testing
xmit_recursion.
Longer term we have a better solution wherein we pass the tunnel's
socket down through the output paths, but that is way too invasive
for 'net' and -stable.

net: dsa: fix filling routing table from OF description
According to description in 'include/net/dsa.h', in cascade switches
configurations where there are more than one interconnected devices,
'rtable' array in 'dsa_chip_data' structure is used to indicate which
port on this switch should be used to send packets to that are destined
for corresponding switch.
However, dsa_of_setup_routing_table() fills 'rtable' with port numbers
of the _target_ switch, but not current one.
This commit removes redundant devicetree parsing and adds needed port
number as a function argument. So dsa_of_setup_routing_table() now just
looks for target switch number by parsing parent of 'link' device node.
To remove possible misunderstandings with the way of determining target
switch number, a corresponding comment was added to the source code and
to the DSA device tree bindings documentation file.
This was tested on a custom board with two Marvell 88E6095 switches with
following corresponding routing tables: { -1, 10 } and { 8, -1 }.

We should not consult skb->sk for output decisions in xmit recursion

ipv6 does not conform with this in three places:
1) ip6_fragment: we do consult ipv6_npinfo for frag_size
2) sk_mc_loop in ipv6 uses skb->sk and checks if we should
loop the packet back to the local socket
3) ip6_skb_dst_mtu could query the settings from the user socket and
force a wrong MTU
Furthermore:
In sk_mc_loop we could potentially land in WARN_ON(1) if we use a
PF_PACKET socket ontop of an IPv6-backed vxlan device.

netns: don't allocate an id for dead netns
First, let's explain the problem.
Suppose you have an ipip interface that stands in the netns foo and its link
part in the netns bar (so the netns bar has an nsid into the netns foo).
Now, you remove the netns bar:
- the bar nsid into the netns foo is removed
- the netns exit method of ipip is called, thus our ipip iface is removed:
=> a netlink message is built in the netns foo to advertise this deletion
=> this netlink message requests an nsid for bar, thus a new nsid is
allocated for bar and never removed.
This patch adds a check in peernet2id() so that an id cannot be allocated for
a netns which is currently destroyed.

On processing cumulative ACKs, the FRTO code was not checking the
SACKed bit, meaning that there could be a spurious FRTO undo on a
cumulative ACK of a previously SACKed skb.
The FRTO code should only consider a cumulative ACK to indicate that
an original/unretransmitted skb is newly ACKed if the skb was not yet
SACKed.
The effect of the spurious FRTO undo would typically be to make the
connection think that all previously-sent packets were in flight when
they really weren't, leading to a stall and an RTO.

xen-netfront: transmit fully GSO-sized packets
xen-netfront limits transmitted skbs to be at most 44 segments in size. However,
GSO permits up to 65536 bytes, which means a maximum of 45 segments of 1448
bytes each. This slight reduction in the size of packets means a slight loss in
efficiency.
Since c/s 9ecd1a75d, xen-netfront sets gso_max_size to
XEN_NETIF_MAX_TX_SIZE - MAX_TCP_HEADER,
where XEN_NETIF_MAX_TX_SIZE is 65535 bytes.
The calculation used by tcp_tso_autosize (and also tcp_xmit_size_goal since c/s 6c09fa09d) in determining when to split an skb into two is
sk->sk_gso_max_size - 1 - MAX_TCP_HEADER.
So the maximum permitted size of an skb is calculated to be
(XEN_NETIF_MAX_TX_SIZE - MAX_TCP_HEADER) - 1 - MAX_TCP_HEADER.
Intuitively, this looks like the wrong formula -- we don't need two TCP headers.
Instead, there is no need to deviate from the default gso_max_size of 65536 as
this already accommodates the size of the header.
Currently, the largest skb transmitted by netfront is 63712 bytes (44 segments
of 1448 bytes each), as observed via tcpdump. This patch makes netfront send
skbs of up to 65160 bytes (45 segments of 1448 bytes each).
Similarly, the maximum allowable mtu does not need to subtract MAX_TCP_HEADER as
it relates to the size of the whole packet, including the header.

perf probe: Fix to track down unnamed union/structure members
Fix 'perf probe' to track down unnamed union/structure members.
perf probe did not track down the tree of unnamed union/structure
members, since it just failed to find given "name" in a parent
structure/union. To solve this issue, I've introduced 2 changes.
- Fix die_find_member() to track down the type-DIE if it is
unnamed, and if it contains the specified member, returns the
unnamed member.
(note that we don't return found member, since unnamed member
has the offset in the parent structure)
- Fix convert_variable_fields() to track down the unnamed union/
structure (one-by-one).
With this patch, perf probe can access unnamed fields:
-----
#./perf probe -nfx ./perf lock__delete ops 'locked_ops=ops->locked.ops'
Added new event:
probe_perf:lock__delete (on lock__delete in /home/mhiramat/ksrc/linux-3/tools/perf/perf with ops locked_ops=ops->locked.ops)
You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:
perf record -e probe_perf:lock__delete -aR sleep 1

sched/deadline: Support DL task migration during CPU hotplug
I observed that DL tasks can't be migrated to other CPUs during CPU
hotplug, in addition, task may/may not be running again if CPU is
added back.
The root cause which I found is that DL tasks will be throtted and
removed from the DL rq after comsuming all their budget, which
leads to the situation that stop task can't pick them up from the
DL rq and migrate them to other CPUs during hotplug.
The method to reproduce:
schedtool -E -t 50000:100000 -e ./test
Actually './test' is just a simple for loop. Then observe which CPU the
test task is on and offline it:
echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuN/online
This patch adds the DL task migration during CPU hotplug by finding a
most suitable later deadline rq after DL timer fires if current rq is
offline.
If it fails to find a suitable later deadline rq then it falls back to
any eligible online CPU in so that the deadline task will come back
to us, and the push/pull mechanism should then move it around properly.

sched/core: Check for available DL bandwidth in cpuset_cpu_inactive()
Hotplug operations are destructive w.r.t. cpusets. In case such an
operation is performed on a CPU belonging to an exlusive cpuset, the
DL bandwidth information associated with the corresponding root
domain is gone even if the operation fails (in sched_cpu_inactive()).
For this reason we need to move the check we currently have in
sched_cpu_inactive() to cpuset_cpu_inactive() to prevent useless
cpusets reconfiguration in the CPU_DOWN_FAILED path.

So there is no need to disable the LBRs explicitely in the

Also we always unnecessarily rewrite LBR_SELECT in the LBR

perf/x86/intel: Make the HT bug workaround conditional on HT enabled
This patch disables the PMU HT bug when Hyperthreading (HT)
is disabled. We cannot do this test immediately when perf_events
is initialized. We need to wait until the topology information
is setup properly. As such, we register a later initcall, check
the topology and potentially disable the workaround. To do this,
we need to ensure there is no user of the PMU. At this point of
the boot, the only user is the NMI watchdog, thus we disable
it during the switch and re-enable it right after.
Having the workaround disabled when it is not needed provides
some benefits by limiting the overhead is time and space.
The workaround still ensures correct scheduling of the corrupting
memory events (0xd0, 0xd1, 0xd2) when HT is off. Those events
can only be measured on counters 0-3. Something else the current
kernel did not handle correctly.

This is necessary to avoid situation of counter starvation. Such can
arise from configuration where one HT thread, HT0, is using all 4 counters
with corrupting events which require exclusion the the sibling HT, HT1.
In such case, HT1 would not be able to schedule any event until HT0
is done. To mitigate this problem, this patch artificially limits
the number of counters to 2.
That way, we can gurantee that at least 2 counters are not in exclusive
mode and therefore allow the sibling thread to schedule events of the
same type (system vs. per-thread). The 2 counters are not determined
in advance. We simply set the limit to two events per HT.
This helps mitigate starvation in case of events with specific counter
constraints such a PREC_DIST.
Note that this does not elimintate the starvation is all cases. But
it is better than not having it.
This patch implements a software workaround for a HW erratum
on Intel SandyBridge, IvyBridge and Haswell processors
with Hyperthreading enabled. The errata are documented for
each processor in their respective specification update
documents:
The bug causes silent counter corruption across hyperthreads only
when measuring certain memory events (0xd0, 0xd1, 0xd2, 0xd3).
Counters measuring those events may leak counts to the sibling
counter. For instance, counter 0, thread 0 measuring event 0xd0,
may leak to counter 0, thread 1, regardless of the event measured
there. The size of the leak is not predictible. It all depends on
the workload and the state of each sibling hyper-thread. The
corrupting events do undercount as a consequence of the leak. The
leak is compensated automatically only when the sibling counter measures
the exact same corrupting event AND the workload is on the two threads
is the same. Given, there is no way to guarantee this, a work-around
is necessary. Furthermore, there is a serious problem if the leaked count
is added to a low-occurrence event. In that case the corruption on
the low occurrence event can be very large, e.g., orders of magnitude.
There is no HW or FW workaround for this problem.
The bug is very easy to reproduce on a loaded system.
Here is an example on a Haswell client, where CPU0, CPU4
are siblings. We load the CPUs with a simple triad app
streaming large floating-point vector. We use 0x81d0
corrupting event (MEM_UOPS_RETIRED:ALL_LOADS) and
0x20cc (ROB_MISC_EVENTS:LBR_INSERTS). Given we are not
using the LBR, the 0x20cc event should be zero.
$ taskset -c 0 triad &
$ taskset -c 4 triad &
$ perf stat -a -C 0 -e r81d0 sleep 100 &
$ perf stat -a -C 4 -r20cc sleep 10
Performance counter stats for 'system wide':
139 277 291 r20cc
10,000969126 seconds time elapsed
In this example, 0x81d0 and r20cc ar eusing sinling counters
on CPU0 and CPU4. 0x81d0 leaks into 0x20cc and corrupts it
from 0 to 139 millions occurrences.
This patch provides a software workaround to this problem by modifying the
way events are scheduled onto counters by the kernel. The patch forces
cross-thread mutual exclusion between counters in case a corrupting event
is measured by one of the hyper-threads. If thread 0, counter 0 is measuring
event 0xd0, then nothing can be measured on counter 0, thread 1. If no corrupting
event is measured on any hyper-thread, event scheduling proceeds as before.
The same example run with the workaround enabled, yield the correct answer:
$ taskset -c 0 triad &
$ taskset -c 4 triad &
$ perf stat -a -C 0 -e r81d0 sleep 100 &
$ perf stat -a -C 4 -r20cc sleep 10
Performance counter stats for 'system wide':
0 r20cc
10,000969126 seconds time elapsed
The patch does provide correctness for all non-corrupting events. It does not
"repatriate" the leaked counts back to the leaking counter. This is planned
for a second patch series. This patch series makes this repatriation more
easy by guaranteeing the sibling counter is not measuring any useful event.
The patch introduces dynamic constraints for events. That means that events which
did not have constraints, i.e., could be measured on any counters, may now be
constrained to a subset of the counters depending on what is going on the sibling
thread. The algorithm is similar to a cache coherency protocol. We call it XSU
in reference to Exclusive, Shared, Unused, the 3 possible states of a PMU
counter.
As a consequence of the workaround, users may see an increased amount of event
multiplexing, even in situtations where there are fewer events than counters
measured on a CPU.
Patch has been tested on all three impacted processors. Note that when
HT is off, there is no corruption. However, the workaround is still enabled,
yet not costing too much. Adding a dynamic detection of HT on turned out to
be complex are requiring too much to code to be justified.
This patch addresses the issue when PEBS is not used. A subsequent patch
fixes the problem when PEBS is used.
This patch adds a new shared_regs style structure to the
per-cpu x86 state (cpuc). It is used to coordinate access
between counters which must be used with exclusion across
HyperThreads on Intel processors. This new struct is not
needed on each PMU, thus is is allocated on demand.

perf/x86: Add 'index' param to get_event_constraint() callback
This patch adds an index parameter to the get_event_constraint()
x86_pmu callback. It is expected to represent the index of the
event in the cpuc->event_list[] array. When the callback is used
for fake_cpuc (evnet validation), then the index must be -1. The
motivation for passing the index is to use it to index into another
cpuc array.
This patch adds 3 new PMU model specific callbacks
during the event scheduling done by x86_schedule_events().
->start_scheduling(): invoked when entering the schedule routine.
->stop_scheduling(): invoked at the end of the schedule routine
->commit_scheduling(): invoked for each committed event
Add support for Branch Trace Store (BTS) via kernel perf event infrastructure.
The difference with the existing implementation of BTS support is that this
one is a separate PMU that exports events' trace buffers to userspace by means
of AUX area of the perf buffer, which is zero-copy mapped into userspace.
The immediate benefit is that the buffer size can be much bigger, resulting in
fewer interrupts and no kernel side copying is involved and little to no trace
data loss. Also, kernel code can be traced with this driver.
The old way of collecting BTS traces still works.

PT is an extension of Intel Architecture that collects information about

formats it into highly compressed binary packets. Even being compressed,
these packets are generated at hundreds of megabytes per second per core,
which makes it impractical to decode them on the fly in the kernel.

perf: Add ITRACE_START record to indicate that tracing has started
For counters that generate AUX data that is bound to the context of a
running task, such as instruction tracing, the decoder needs to know
exactly which task is running when the event is first scheduled in,
before the first sched_switch. The decoder's need to know this stems
from the fact that instruction flow trace decoding will almost always
require program's object code in order to reconstruct said flow and
for that we need at least its pid/tid in the perf stream.
To single out such instruction tracing pmus, this patch introduces
ITRACE PMU capability. The reason this is not part of RECORD_AUX
record is that not all pmus capable of generating AUX data need this,
and the opposite is *probably* also true.
While sched_switch covers for most cases, there are two problems with it:
the consumer will need to process events out of order (that is, having
found RECORD_AUX, it will have to skip forward to the nearest sched_switch
to figure out which task it was, then go back to the actual trace to
decode it) and it completely misses the case when the tracing is enabled
and disabled before sched_switch, for example, via PERF_EVENT_IOC_DISABLE.

userspace to collect it. This adds a new control to specify how much
data will cause a wakeup. This is then passed down to pmu drivers via
output handle's "wakeup" field, so that the driver can find the nearest
point where it can generate an interrupt.
We repurpose __reserved_2 in the event attribute for this, even though
it was never checked to be zero before, aux_watermark will only matter

This adds support for overwrite mode in the AUX area, which means "keep
collecting data till you're stopped", turning AUX area into a circular
buffer, where new data overwrites old data. It does not depend on data
buffer's overwrite mode, so that it doesn't lose sideband data that is
instrumental for processing AUX data.
Overwrite mode is enabled at mapping AUX area read only. Even though
aux_tail in the buffer's user page might be user writable, it will be
ignored in this mode.
A PERF_RECORD_AUX with PERF_AUX_FLAG_OVERWRITE set is written to the perf
data stream every time an event writes new data to the AUX area. The pmu
driver might not be able to infer the exact beginning of the new data in
each snapshot, some drivers will only provide the tail, which is
aux_offset + aux_size in the AUX record. Consumer has to be able to tell
the new data from the old one, for example, by means of time stamps if
such are provided in the trace.
Consumer is also responsible for disabling any events that might write
to the AUX area (thus potentially racing with the consumer) before
collecting the data.

For pmus that wish to write data to ring buffer's AUX area, provide
perf_aux_output_{begin,end}() calls to initiate/commit data writes,
similarly to perf_output_{begin,end}. These also use the same output
handle structure. Also, similarly to software counterparts, these
will direct inherited events' output to parents' ring buffers.
After the perf_aux_output_begin() returns successfully, handle->size
is set to the maximum amount of data that can be written wrt aux_tail
pointer, so that no data that the user hasn't seen will be overwritten,
therefore this should always be called before hardware writing is
enabled. On success, this will return the pointer to pmu driver's
private structure allocated for this aux area by pmu::setup_aux. Same
pointer can also be retrieved using perf_get_aux() while hardware
writing is enabled.
PMU driver should pass the actual amount of data written as a parameter
to perf_aux_output_end(). All hardware writes should be completed and
visible before this one is called.
Additionally, perf_aux_output_skip() will adjust output handle and
aux_head in case some part of the buffer has to be skipped over to
maintain hardware's alignment constraints.
Nested writers are forbidden and guards are in place to catch such
attempts.

no bigger than half of the total requested buffer size, thus making sure

perf: Add AUX area to ring buffer for raw data streams
This patch introduces "AUX space" in the perf mmap buffer, intended for
exporting high bandwidth data streams to userspace, such as instruction
flow traces.
AUX space is a ring buffer, defined by aux_{offset,size} fields in the
user_page structure, and read/write pointers aux_{head,tail}, which abide
by the same rules as data_* counterparts of the main perf buffer.
In order to allocate/mmap AUX, userspace needs to set up aux_offset to
such an offset that will be greater than data_offset+data_size and
aux_size to be the desired buffer size. Both need to be page aligned.
Then, same aux_offset and aux_size should be passed to mmap() call and
if everything adds up, you should have an AUX buffer as a result.
Pages that are mapped into this buffer also come out of user's mlock
rlimit plus perf_event_mlock_kb allowance.

Currently, the actual perf ring buffer is one page into the mmap area,
following the user page and the userspace follows this convention. This
patch adds data_{offset,size} fields to user_page that can be used by
userspace instead for locating perf data in the mmap area. This is also
helpful when mapping existing or shared buffers if their size is not
known in advance.
Right now, it is made to follow the existing convention that
data_offset == PAGE_SIZE and
