Add a new script that wraps git to trawl the repository history for
renames of .rst files in the Documentation/ directory.
Example usage:
tools/docs/gen-renames.py --rev v6.17-rc3 > Documentation/.renames.txt
The output format is simply:
<old path> SPACE <new path> NEWLINE
where neither <old path> nor <new path> contain the Documentation/
prefix or the .rst suffix. The file is sorted alphabetically.
We can suggest rerunning the script for future renames (and squash the
resulting change) or rerun it periodically to keep the file up to date.

As we'll be using the Netlink specs parser inside a Sphinx

While here, change the code which generates an index file
to parse inputs from both .rst and .yaml extensions. With
that, the tool can easily be tested with:
tools/net/ynl/pyynl/ynl_gen_rst.py -x -o Documentation/netlink/specs/foo.rst

Currently, rt documents are referred with:

Having :doc: references with relative paths doesn't always work,
as it may have troubles when O= is used. Also that's hard to
maintain, and may break if we change the way rst files are
generated from yaml. Better to use instead a reference for
the netlink family.
So, replace them by Sphinx cross-reference tag that are

On s390, and, in general, on all platforms where the respective event
supports auxiliary data gathering, the command:
# ./perf record -u 0 -aB --synth=no -- ./perf test -w thloop
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.011 MB perf.data ]
# ./perf report --stats | grep SAMPLE
#
does not generate samples in the perf.data file. On x86 the command:
# sudo perf record -e intel_pt// -u 0 ls
is broken too.
Looking at the sequence of calls in 'perf record' reveals this
behavior:
1. The event 'cycles' is created and enabled:
record__open()
+-> evlist__apply_filters()
+-> perf_bpf_filter__prepare()
+-> bpf_program.attach_perf_event()
+-> bpf_program.attach_perf_event_opts()
+-> __GI___ioctl(..., PERF_EVENT_IOC_ENABLE, ...)
The event 'cycles' is enabled and active now. However the event's
ring-buffer to store the samples generated by hardware is not
allocated yet.
2. The event's fd is mmap()ed to create the ring buffer:
record__open()
+-> record__mmap()
+-> record__mmap_evlist()
+-> evlist__mmap_ex()
+-> perf_evlist__mmap_ops()
+-> mmap_per_cpu()
+-> mmap_per_evsel()
+-> mmap__mmap()
+-> perf_mmap__mmap()
+-> mmap()
This allocates the ring buffer for the event 'cycles'. With mmap()
the kernel creates the ring buffer:
perf_mmap(): kernel function to create the event's ring
| buffer to save the sampled data.
|
+-> ring_buffer_attach(): Allocates memory for ring buffer.
| The PMU has auxiliary data setup function. The
| has_aux(event) condition is true and the PMU's
| stop() is called to stop sampling. It is not
| restarted:
|
| if (has_aux(event))
| perf_event_stop(event, 0);
|
+-> cpumsf_pmu_stop():
Hardware sampling is stopped. No samples are generated and saved
anymore.
3. After the event 'cycles' has been mapped, the event is enabled a
second time in:
__cmd_record()
+-> evlist__enable()
+-> __evlist__enable()
+-> evsel__enable_cpu()
+-> perf_evsel__enable_cpu()
+-> perf_evsel__run_ioctl()
+-> perf_evsel__ioctl()
+-> __GI___ioctl(., PERF_EVENT_IOC_ENABLE, .)
The second
ioctl(fd, PERF_EVENT_IOC_ENABLE, 0);
is just a NOP in this case. The first invocation in (1.) sets the
event::state to PERF_EVENT_STATE_ACTIVE. The kernel functions
perf_ioctl()
+-> _perf_ioctl()
+-> _perf_event_enable()
+-> __perf_event_enable()
return immediately because event::state is already set to
PERF_EVENT_STATE_ACTIVE.
This happens on s390, because the event 'cycles' offers the possibility
to save auxilary data. The PMU callbacks setup_aux() and free_aux() are
defined. Without both callback functions, cpumsf_pmu_stop() is not
invoked and sampling continues.
To remedy this, remove the first invocation of
ioctl(..., PERF_EVENT_IOC_ENABLE, ...).
in step (1.) Create the event in step (1.) and enable it in step (3.)
after the ring buffer has been mapped.
Output after:
# ./perf record -aB --synth=no -u 0 -- ./perf test -w thloop 2
[ perf record: Woken up 3 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.876 MB perf.data ]
# ./perf report --stats | grep SAMPLE
SAMPLE events: 16200 (99.5%)
SAMPLE events: 16200

The software event succeeded both before and after the patch:
# ./perf record -e cpu-clock -aB --synth=no -u 0 -- \
./perf test -w thloop 2

Pull perf fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
"Perf fixes for perf_mmap() reference counting to prevent potential
reference count leaks which are caused by:
- VMA splits, which change the offset or size of a mapping, which
causes perf_mmap_close() to ignore the unmap or unmap the wrong
buffer.
- Several internal issues of perf_mmap(), which can cause reference
count leaks in the perf mmap, corrupt accounting or cause leaks in
perf drivers.
The main fix is to prevent VMA splits by implementing the
[may_]split() callback for vm operations.
The other issues are addressed by rearranging code, early returns on
failure and invocation of cleanups.
Also provide a selftest to validate the fixes.
The reference counting should be converted to refcount_t, but that
requires larger refactoring of the code and will be done once these
fixes are upstream"

Commit 2677010e77 ("Add support to set NAPI threaded for individual
NAPI") added support to enable/disable threaded napi using netlink. This
also extended the napi config save/restore functionality to set the napi
threaded state. This breaks netdev reset for drivers that use napi
threaded at device level and also use napi config save/restore on
napi_disable/napi_enable. Basically on netdev with napi threaded enabled
at device level, a napi_enable call will get stuck trying to stop the
napi kthread. This is because the napi->config->threaded is set to
disabled when threaded is enabled at device level.
The issue can be reproduced on virtio-net device using qemu. To
reproduce the issue run following,
echo 1 > /sys/class/net/threaded
ethtool -L eth0 combined 1
Update the threaded state in napi config in netif_set_threaded and add a
new test that verifies this scenario.

A lot of test cases in the file are related to the idle and unbalanced
timers of resilient nexthop groups and these tests are reported to be
flaky on slow machines running debug kernels.
Rather than marking a lot of individual tests with xfail_on_slow(),
simply mark all the tests. Note that the test is stable on non-debug
machines and that with debug kernels we are mainly interested in the
output of various sanitizers in order to determine pass / fail.

Exercise various mmap(), munmap() and mremap() invocations, which might
cause a perf buffer mapping to be split or truncated.
To avoid hard coding the perf event and having dependencies on
architectures and configuration options, scan through event types in sysfs
and try to open them. On success, try to mmap() and if that succeeds try to
mmap() the AUX buffer.
In case that no AUX buffer supporting event is found, only test the base
buffer mapping. If no mappable event is found or permissions are not
sufficient, skip the tests.
Reserve a PROT_NONE region for both rb and aux tests to allow testing the
case where mremap unmaps beyond the end of a mapped VMA to prevent it from
unmapping unrelated mappings.

Patch series "mseal cleanups", v4.
Perform a number of cleanups to the mseal logic. Firstly, VM_SEALED is
treated differently from every other VMA flag, it really doesn't make
sense to do this, so we start by making this consistent with everything
else.
Next we place the madvise logic where it belongs - in mm/madvise.c. It
really makes no sense to abstract this elsewhere. In doing so, we go to
great lengths to explain very clearly the previously very confusing logic
as to what sealed mappings are impacted here.
In doing so, we retain existing logic regarding treatment of madvise()
discard operations for a sealed, read-only MAP_PRIVATE file-backed
mapping. This is something we likely need to revisit.
We then abstract out and explain the 'are there are any gaps in this range
in the mm?' check being performed as a prerequisite to mseal being
performed.
Finally, we simplify the actual mseal logic which is really quite
straightforward.
No functional change is intended.
This patch (of 4):
There is no reason to treat VM_SEALED in a special way, in each other case
in which a VMA flag is unavailable due to configuration, we simply assign
that flag to VM_NONE, so make VM_SEALED consistent with all other VMA
flags in this respect.
Additionally, use the next available bit for VM_SEALED, 42, rather than
arbitrarily putting it at 63 and update the declaration to match all other
VMA flags.
No functional change intended.

(see include/uapi/linux/taskstats.h).
Version feature mapping:
- version >= 11 - supports COMPACT statistics
- version >= 13 - supports WPCOPY statistics
- version >= 14 - supports IRQ statistics
- version >= 16 - supports *_max and *_min delay statistics
This ensures the tool works correctly with both older and newer kernel
versions by conditionally printing fields based on the reported version.

Testing kexec handover requires a kernel driver that will generate some
data and preserve it with KHO on the first boot and then restore that data
and verify it was preserved properly after kexec.
To facilitate such test, along with the kernel driver responsible for data
generation, preservation and restoration add a script that runs a kernel
in a VM with a minimal /init. The /init enables KHO, loads a kernel image
for kexec and runs kexec reboot. After the boot of the kexeced kernel,
the driver verifies that the data was properly preserved.

Pull perf tools updates from Namhyung Kim:
"Build-ID processing goodies:
Build-IDs are content based hashes to link regions of memory to ELF
files in post processing. They have been available in distros for
quite a while:
$ file /bin/bash
/bin/bash: ELF 64-bit LSB pie executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV),
dynamically linked, interpreter /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2,
BuildID[sha1]=707a1c670cd72f8e55ffedfbe94ea98901b7ce3a,
for GNU/Linux 3.2.0, stripped
It is possible to ask the kernel to get it from mmap executable
backing storage at time they are being put in place and send it as
metadata at that moment to have in perf.data.
Prefer that across the board to speed up 'record' time - it post
processes the samples to find binaries touched by any samples and
to save them with build-ID. It can skip reading build-ID in
userspace if it comes from the kernel.
perf record:
* Make --buildid-mmap default. The kernel can generate MMAP2 events
with a build-ID from ELF header. Use that by default instead of using
inode and device ID to identify binaries. It also can be disabled
with --no-buildid-mmap.
* Use BPF for -u/--uid option to sample processes belong to a user.
BPF can track user processes more accurately and the existing logic
often fails to get the list of processes due to race with reading the
/proc filesystem.
* Generate PERF_RECORD_BPF_METADATA when it profiles BPF programs and
they have variables starting with "bpf_metadata_". This will help to
identify BPF objects used in the profile. This has been supported in
bpftool for some time and allows the recording of metadata such as
commit hashes, versions, etc, that now gets recorded in perf.data as
well.
* Collect list of DSOs touched in the sample callchains as well as in
the sample itself. This would increase the processing time at the end
of record, but can improve the data quality.
perf stat:
* Add a new 'drm' pseudo-PMU support like in 'hwmon'. It can collect
DRM usage stats using fdinfo in /proc.
On my Intel laptop, it shows like below:
$ perf list drm
...

Misc:
* Add perf archive --exclude-buildids <FILE> option to skip some binaries.
The format of the FILE should be same as an output of perf buildid-list.
* Get rid of dependency of libcrypto. It was just to get SHA-1 hash so
implement it directly like in the kernel. A side effect is that it
needs -fno-strict-aliasing compiler option (again, like in the kernel).
* Convert all shell script tests to use bash"

The purpose of the "Periodic garbage collection" test case is to make
sure that "extern_valid" neighbors are not flushed during periodic
garbage collection, unlike regular neighbor entries.
The test case is currently doing the following:
1. Changing the base reachable time to 10 seconds so that periodic
garbage collection will run every 5 seconds.
2. Changing the garbage collection stale time to 5 seconds so that
neighbors that have not been used in the last 5 seconds will be
considered for removal.
3. Waiting for the base reachable time change to take effect.
4. Adding an "extern_valid" neighbor, a non-"extern_valid" neighbor and
a bunch of other neighbors so that the threshold ("thresh1") will be
crossed and stale neighbors will be flushed during garbage
collection.
5. Waiting for 10 seconds to give garbage collection a chance to run.
6. Checking that the "extern_valid" neighbor was not flushed and that
the non-"extern_valid" neighbor was flushed.
The test sometimes fails in the netdev CI because the non-"extern_valid"
neighbor was not flushed. I am unable to reproduce this locally, but my
theory that since we do not know exactly when the periodic garbage
collection runs, it is possible for it to run at a time when the
non-"extern_valid" neighbor is still not considered stale.
Fix by moving the addition of the two neighbors before step 3 and by
reducing the garbage collection stale time to 1 second, to ensure that
both neighbors are considered stale when garbage collection runs.
Fixes: 171f2ee31a ("selftests: net: Add a selftest for externally validated neighbor entries")
