samples/seccomp/Makefile: do not build tests if cross-compiling for MIPS

2014-04-03T23:21:06Z

The Makefile is designed to use the host toolchain so it may be unsafe to build the tests if the kernel has been configured and built for another architecture. This fixes a build problem when the kernel has been configured and built for the MIPS architecture but the host is not MIPS (cross-compiled). The MIPS syscalls are only defined if one of the following is true: 1) _MIPS_SIM == _MIPS_SIM_ABI64 2) _MIPS_SIM == _MIPS_SIM_ABI32 3) _MIPS_SIM == _MIPS_SIM_NABI32 Of course, none of these make sense on a non-MIPS toolchain and the following build problem occurs when building on a non-MIPS host. linux/usr/include/linux/kexec.h:50: userspace cannot reference function or variable defined in the kernel samples/seccomp/bpf-direct.c: In function `emulator': samples/seccomp/bpf-direct.c:76:17: error: `__NR_write' undeclared (first use in this function) Signed-off-by: Markos Chandras Reported-by: Paul Gortmaker Cc: Ralf Baechle Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

kobject: fix kset sample error path

2013-12-03T18:13:30Z

Previously, example_init() leaked a kset if any of the object creations failed. This fixes the leak by calling kset_unregister() in the error path. Signed-off-by: Bjorn Helgaas Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

kfifo API type safety

2013-11-15T00:32:23Z

This patch enhances the type safety for the kfifo API. It is now safe to put const data into a non const FIFO and the API will now generate a compiler warning when reading from the fifo where the destination address is pointing to a const variable. As a side effect the kfifo_put() does now expect the value of an element instead a pointer to the element. This was suggested Russell King. It make the handling of the kfifo_put easier since there is no need to create a helper variable for getting the address of a pointer or to pass integers of different sizes. IMHO the API break is okay, since there are currently only six users of kfifo_put(). The code is also cleaner by kicking out the "if (0)" expressions.

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.

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() ...
