perf stat: Enable 1ms interval for printing event counters values
Currently print count interval for performance counters values is
limited by 10ms so reading the values at frequencies higher than 100Hz
is restricted by the tool.
This change makes perf stat -I possible on frequencies up to 1KHz and,
to some extent, makes perf stat -I to be on-par with perf record
sampling profiling.
When running perf stat -I for monitoring e.g. PCIe uncore counters and
at the same time profiling some I/O workload by perf record e.g. for
cpu-cycles and context switches, it is then possible to observe
consolidated CPU/OS/IO(Uncore) performance picture for that workload.
Tool overhead warning printed when specifying -v option can be missed
due to screen scrolling in case you have output to the console
so message is moved into help available by running perf stat -h.

BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in uprobe_perf_close+0x222/0x3b0
Read of size 4 at addr ffff880384f9b4a4 by task test_usdt2.py/870
The buggy address belongs to the object at ffff880384f9b480
which belongs to the cache task_struct of size 12928
It occurs because task_struct is freed before perf_event which refers
to the task and task flags are checked while teardown of the event.
perf_event_alloc() assigns task_struct to hw.target of perf_event,
but there is no reference counting for it.
As a fix we get_task_struct() in perf_event_alloc() at above mentioned
assignment and put_task_struct() in _free_event().

perf hists browser: Remove leftover from row returned from refresh
The per-browser screen refresh routine (ui_browser->refresh()) should
return the first row that should be cleaned after the rows just printed,
in case not all rows available on the screen gets filled.
When moving the extra title lines logic from the hists browser to the
generic ui_browser class, one piece of that logic remained in the hists
browser and then when going back from the annotate browser to the hists
browser in a case where fewer lines were displayed in the hists browser,
for instance when filtering the entries per substring, one line of the
annotate browser would remain on the screen, fix that.
Example of the screen artifact:
================================================================================
Samples: 73K of event 'cycles:ppp', 4000 Hz, Event count (approx.): 45172901394
Overhead Shared O Symbol
0.30% [kernel] [k] __indirect_thunk_start
0.09% [kernel] [k] __x86_indirect_thunk_r10
│ lfence
================================================================================
Here from 'perf top' the view was zoomed with '/thunk' to functions
having that substring, then the first was annotated and from the
annotate browser ESC was pressed, then the first lines were overwritten,
but the 'lfence' line remained due to the off by one bug fixed in this
cset.

perf ui browser: Move the extra title lines from the hists browser
This will be useful for the annotate browser as well, that wants to have
extra title lines, i.e. the current ui_browser unconditionally reserves
the first line for a browser title and the last one for status messages.
But some browsers, like the buckets one (hists browser) needs extra
lines to show headers, allowing it to be shown or not, press 'H' in
'perf top' or 'perf report' to see this feature.
So move that logic to the core ui_browser used by the hists_browser
('perf top' and 'perf report' main interface) so that it can be used by
the annotate browser too.

Merge branch 'syscalls-next' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/brodo/linux
Pull removal of in-kernel calls to syscalls from Dominik Brodowski:
"System calls are interaction points between userspace and the kernel.
Therefore, system call functions such as sys_xyzzy() or
compat_sys_xyzzy() should only be called from userspace via the
syscall table, but not from elsewhere in the kernel.
At least on 64-bit x86, it will likely be a hard requirement from
v4.17 onwards to not call system call functions in the kernel: It is
better to use use a different calling convention for system calls
there, where struct pt_regs is decoded on-the-fly in a syscall wrapper
which then hands processing over to the actual syscall function. This
means that only those parameters which are actually needed for a
specific syscall are passed on during syscall entry, instead of
filling in six CPU registers with random user space content all the
time (which may cause serious trouble down the call chain). Those
x86-specific patches will be pushed through the x86 tree in the near
future.
Moreover, rules on how data may be accessed may differ between kernel
data and user data. This is another reason why calling sys_xyzzy() is
generally a bad idea, and -- at most -- acceptable in arch-specific
code.
This patchset removes all in-kernel calls to syscall functions in the
kernel with the exception of arch/. On top of this, it cleans up the
three places where many syscalls are referenced or prototyped, namely
kernel/sys_ni.c, include/linux/syscalls.h and include/linux/compat.h"

bitmap: fix memset optimization on big-endian systems
Commit 2a98dc028f91 ("include/linux/bitmap.h: turn bitmap_set and
bitmap_clear into memset when possible") introduced an optimization to
bitmap_{set,clear}() which uses memset() when the start and length are
constants aligned to a byte.
This is wrong on big-endian systems; our bitmaps are arrays of unsigned
long, so bit n is not at byte n / 8 in memory. This was caught by the
Btrfs selftests, but the bitmap selftests also fail when run on a
big-endian machine.
We can still use memset if the start and length are aligned to an
unsigned long, so do that on big-endian. The same problem applies to
the memcmp in bitmap_equal(), so fix it there, too.

Pul removal of obsolete architecture ports from Arnd Bergmann:
"This removes the entire architecture code for blackfin, cris, frv,
m32r, metag, mn10300, score, and tile, including the associated device
drivers.
I have been working with the (former) maintainers for each one to
ensure that my interpretation was right and the code is definitely
unused in mainline kernels. Many had fond memories of working on the
respective ports to start with and getting them included in upstream,
but also saw no point in keeping the port alive without any users.
In the end, it seems that while the eight architectures are extremely
different, they all suffered the same fate: There was one company in
charge of an SoC line, a CPU microarchitecture and a software
ecosystem, which was more costly than licensing newer off-the-shelf
CPU cores from a third party (typically ARM, MIPS, or RISC-V). It
seems that all the SoC product lines are still around, but have not
used the custom CPU architectures for several years at this point. In
contrast, CPU instruction sets that remain popular and have actively
maintained kernel ports tend to all be used across multiple licensees.
[ See the new nds32 port merged in the previous commit for the next
generation of "one company in charge of an SoC line, a CPU
microarchitecture and a software ecosystem" - Linus ]
The removal came out of a discussion that is now documented at
https://lwn.net/Articles/748074/. Unlike the original plans, I'm not
marking any ports as deprecated but remove them all at once after I
made sure that they are all unused. Some architectures (notably tile,
mn10300, and blackfin) are still being shipped in products with old
kernels, but those products will never be updated to newer kernel
releases.
After this series, we still have a few architectures without mainline
gcc support:
- unicore32 and hexagon both have very outdated gcc releases, but the
maintainers promised to work on providing something newer. At least
in case of hexagon, this will only be llvm, not gcc.
- openrisc, risc-v and nds32 are still in the process of finishing
their support or getting it added to mainline gcc in the first
place. They all have patched gcc-7.3 ports that work to some
degree, but complete upstream support won't happen before gcc-8.1.
Csky posted their first kernel patch set last week, their situation
will be similar
[ Palmer Dabbelt points out that RISC-V support is in mainline gcc
since gcc-7, although gcc-7.3.0 is the recommended minimum - Linus ]"

Error injection is a useful mechanism to fail arbitrary kernel
functions. However, it is often hard to guarantee an error propagates
appropriately to user space programs. By injecting into syscalls, we can
return arbitrary values to user space directly; this increases
flexibility and robustness in testing, allowing us to test user space
error paths effectively.
The following script, for example, fails calls to sys_open() from a
given pid:
from bcc import BPF
from sys import argv
pid = argv[1]
prog = r"""
int kprobe__SyS_open(struct pt_regs *ctx, const char *pathname, int flags)
{
u32 pid = bpf_get_current_pid_tgid();
if (pid == %s)
bpf_override_return(ctx, -ENOMEM);
return 0;
}
""" % pid
b = BPF(text=prog)
while 1:
b.perf_buffer_poll()
This patch whitelists all syscalls defined with SYSCALL_DEFINE and
COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE for error injection. These changes are not
intended to be considered stable, and would normally be configured off.

Shuffle the cond_syscall() entries in kernel/sys_ni.c around so that they
are kept in the same order as in include/uapi/asm-generic/unistd.h. For
better structuring, add the same comments as in that file, but keep a few
additional comments and extend the commentary where it seems useful.
compat_sys_*() functions are no longer called from within the kernel on
x86 except from the system call table. Linking the system call does not
require compat_sys_*() function prototypes at least on x86. Therefore,
generate compat_sys_*() prototypes on-the-fly within the
COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINEx() macro, and remove x86-specific prototypes from
various header files.

include/uapi/asm-generic/unistd.h. The individual entries are kept
the same, and neither modified to bring them in line with kernel coding
style nor wrapped in proper ifdefs.
kexec: move sys_kexec_load() prototype to syscalls.h
As the syscall function should only be called from the system call table
but not from elsewhere in the kernel, move the prototype for
sys_kexec_load() to include/syscall.h.

fs: add ksys_mount() helper; remove in-kernel calls to sys_mount()
Using this helper allows us to avoid the in-kernel calls to the sys_mount()
syscall. The ksys_ prefix denotes that this function is meant as a drop-in
replacement for the syscall. In particular, it uses the same calling
convention as sys_mount().
In the near future, all callers of ksys_mount() should be converted to call
do_mount() directly.
This patch is part of a series which removes in-kernel calls to syscalls.
On this basis, the syscall entry path can be streamlined. For details, see
