Pull Tile arch updates from Chris Metcalf: "These changes bring in a bunch of new functionality that has been maintained internally at Tilera over the last year, plus other stray bits of work that I've taken into the tile tree from other folks. The changes include some PCI root complex work, interrupt-driven console support, support for performing fast-path unaligned data fixups by kernel-based JIT code generation, CONFIG_PREEMPT support, vDSO support for gettimeofday(), a serial driver for the tilegx on-chip UART, KGDB support, more optimized string routines, support for ftrace and kprobes, improved ASLR, and many bug fixes. We also remove support for the old TILE64 chip, which is no longer buildable" * git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/cmetcalf/linux-tile: (85 commits) tile: refresh tile defconfig files tile: rework tile PCI RC: make default consistent DMA mask 32-bit tile: add null check for kzalloc in tile/kernel/setup.c tile: make __write_once a synonym for __read_mostly tile: remove support for TILE64 tile: use asm-generic/bitops/builtin-*.h tile: eliminate no-op "noatomichash" boot argument tile: use standard tile_bundle_bits type in traps.c tile: simplify code referencing hypervisor API addresses tile: change to in comments tile: mark pcibios_init() as __init tile: check for correct compiler earlier in asm-offsets.c tile: use standard 'generic-y' model for tile: use asm-generic version of tile PCI RC: add comment about "PCI hole" problem tile: remove DEBUG_EXTRA_FLAGS kernel config option tile: add virt_to_kpte() API and clean up and document behavior tile: support FRAME_POINTER tile: support reporting Tilera hypervisor statistics ...

HID: uhid: improve uhid example client

2013-09-04T09:35:14Z

This extends the uhid example client. It properly documents the built-in report-descriptor an adds explicit report-numbers. Furthermore, LED output reports are added to utilize the new UHID output reports of the kernel. Support for 3 basic LEDs is added and a small report-parser to print debug messages if output reports were received. To test this, simply write the EV_LED+LED_CAPSL+1 event to the evdev device-node of the uhid-device and the kernel will forward it to your uhid client.

Pull perf changes from Ingo Molnar: "There are lots of improvements, the biggest changes are: Main kernel side changes: - Improve uprobes performance by adding 'pre-filtering' support, by Oleg Nesterov. - Make some POWER7 events available in sysfs, equivalent to what was done on x86, from Sukadev Bhattiprolu. - tracing updates by Steve Rostedt - mostly misc fixes and smaller improvements. - Use perf/event tracing to report PCI Express advanced errors, by Tony Luck. - Enable northbridge performance counters on AMD family 15h, by Jacob Shin. - This tracing commit: tracing: Remove the extra 4 bytes of padding in events changes the ABI. All involved parties (PowerTop in particular) seem to agree that it's safe to do now with the introduction of libtraceevent, but the devil is in the details ... Main tooling side changes: - Add 'event group view', from Namyung Kim: To use it, 'perf record' should group events when recording. And then perf report parses the saved group relation from file header and prints them together if --group option is provided. You can use the 'perf evlist' command to see event group information: $ perf record -e '{ref-cycles,cycles}' noploop 1 [ perf record: Woken up 2 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.385 MB perf.data (~16807 samples) ] $ perf evlist --group {ref-cycles,cycles} With this example, default perf report will show you each event separately. You can use --group option to enable event group view: $ perf report --group ... # group: {ref-cycles,cycles} # ======== # Samples: 7K of event 'anon group { ref-cycles, cycles }' # Event count (approx.): 6876107743 # # Overhead Command Shared Object Symbol # ................ ....... ................. .......................... 99.84% 99.76% noploop noploop [.] main 0.07% 0.00% noploop ld-2.15.so [.] strcmp 0.03% 0.00% noploop [kernel.kallsyms] [k] timerqueue_del 0.03% 0.03% noploop [kernel.kallsyms] [k] sched_clock_cpu 0.02% 0.00% noploop [kernel.kallsyms] [k] account_user_time 0.01% 0.00% noploop [kernel.kallsyms] [k] __alloc_pages_nodemask 0.00% 0.00% noploop [kernel.kallsyms] [k] native_write_msr_safe 0.00% 0.11% noploop [kernel.kallsyms] [k] _raw_spin_lock 0.00% 0.06% noploop [kernel.kallsyms] [k] find_get_page 0.00% 0.02% noploop [kernel.kallsyms] [k] rcu_check_callbacks 0.00% 0.02% noploop [kernel.kallsyms] [k] __current_kernel_time As you can see the Overhead column now contains both of ref-cycles and cycles and header line shows group information also - 'anon group { ref-cycles, cycles }'. The output is sorted by period of group leader first. - Initial GTK+ annotate browser, from Namhyung Kim. - Add option for runtime switching perf data file in perf report, just press 's' and a menu with the valid files found in the current directory will be presented, from Feng Tang. - Add support to display whole group data for raw columns, from Jiri Olsa. - Add per processor socket count aggregation in perf stat, from Stephane Eranian. - Add interval printing in 'perf stat', from Stephane Eranian. - 'perf test' improvements - Add support for wildcards in tracepoint system name, from Jiri Olsa. - Add anonymous huge page recognition, from Joshua Zhu. - perf build-id cache now can show DSOs present in a perf.data file that are not in the cache, to integrate with build-id servers being put in place by organizations such as Fedora. - perf top now shares more of the evsel config/creation routines with 'record', paving the way for further integration like 'top' snapshots, etc. - perf top now supports DWARF callchains. - Fix mmap limitations on 32-bit, fix from David Miller. - 'perf bench numa mem' NUMA performance measurement suite - ... and lots of fixes, performance improvements, cleanups and other improvements I failed to list - see the shortlog and git log for details." * 'perf-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (270 commits) perf/x86/amd: Enable northbridge performance counters on AMD family 15h perf/hwbp: Fix cleanup in case of kzalloc failure perf tools: Fix build with bison 2.3 and older. perf tools: Limit unwind support to x86 archs perf annotate: Make it to be able to skip unannotatable symbols perf gtk/annotate: Fail early if it can't annotate perf gtk/annotate: Show source lines with gray color perf gtk/annotate: Support multiple event annotation perf ui/gtk: Implement basic GTK2 annotation browser perf annotate: Fix warning message on a missing vmlinux perf buildid-cache: Add --update option uprobes/perf: Avoid uprobe_apply() whenever possible uprobes/perf: Teach trace_uprobe/perf code to use UPROBE_HANDLER_REMOVE uprobes/perf: Teach trace_uprobe/perf code to pre-filter uprobes/perf: Teach trace_uprobe/perf code to track the active perf_event's uprobes: Introduce uprobe_apply() perf: Introduce hw_perf_event->tp_target and ->tp_list uprobes/perf: Always increment trace_uprobe->nhit uprobes/tracing: Kill uprobe_trace_consumer, embed uprobe_consumer into trace_uprobe uprobes/tracing: Introduce is_trace_uprobe_enabled() ...

samples/seccomp: be less stupid about cross compiling

2013-02-05T09:38:49Z

The seccomp filters are currently built for the build host, not for the machine that they are going to run on, but they are also built for with the -m32 flag if the kernel is built for a 32 bit machine, both of which seems rather odd. It broke allyesconfig on my machine, which is x86-64, but building for 32 bit ARM, with this error message: In file included from /usr/include/stdio.h:28:0, from samples/seccomp/bpf-fancy.c:15: /usr/include/features.h:324:26: fatal error: bits/predefs.h: No such file or directory because there are no 32 bit libc headers installed on this machine. We should really be building all the samples for the target machine rather than the build host, but since the infrastructure for that appears to be missing right now, let's be a little bit smarter and not pass the '-m32' flag to the HOSTCC when cross- compiling.

tracing: Remove tracepoint sample code

2013-01-25T16:22:11Z

The tracepoint sample code was used to teach developers how to create their own tracepoints. But now the trace_events have been added as a higher level that is used directly by developers today. Only the trace_event code should use the tracepoint interface directly and no new tracepoints should be added. Besides, the example had a race condition with the use of the ->d_name.name dentry field, as pointed out by Al Viro. Best just to remove the code so it wont be used by other developers.

misc: remove __dev* attributes.

2013-01-03T23:57:16Z

CONFIG_HOTPLUG is going away as an option. As a result, the __dev* markings need to be removed. This change removes the last of the __dev* markings from the kernel from a variety of different, tiny, places. Based on patches originally written by Bill Pemberton, but redone by me in order to handle some of the coding style issues better, by hand. Cc: Bill Pemberton Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman
