perf/core: Exit early on perf_mmap() fail
When perf_mmap() fails to allocate a buffer, it still invokes the
event_mapped() callback of the related event. On X86 this might increase
the perf_rdpmc_allowed reference counter. But nothing undoes this as
perf_mmap_close() is never called in this case, which causes another
reference count leak.
Return early on failure to prevent that.

Pull more tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
- Remove unneeded goto out statements
Over time, the logic was restructured but left a "goto out" where the
out label simply did a "return ret;". Instead of jumping to this out
label, simply return immediately and remove the out label.
- Add guard(ring_buffer_nest)
Some calls to the tracing ring buffer can happen when the ring buffer
is already being written to at the same context (for example, a
trace_printk() in between a ring_buffer_lock_reserve() and a
ring_buffer_unlock_commit()).
In order to not trigger the recursion detection, these functions use
ring_buffer_nest_start() and ring_buffer_nest_end(). Create a guard()
for these functions so that their use cases can be simplified and not
need to use goto for the release.
- Clean up the tracing code with guard() and __free() logic
There were several locations that were prime candidates for using
guard() and __free() helpers. Switch them over to use them.
- Fix output of function argument traces for unsigned int values
The function tracer with "func-args" option set will record up to 6
argument registers and then use BTF to format them for human
consumption when the trace file is read. There are several arguments
that are "unsigned long" and even "unsigned int" that are either and
address or a mask. It is easier to understand if they were printed
using hexadecimal instead of decimal. The old method just printed all
non-pointer values as signed integers, which made it even worse for
unsigned integers.

"Toolchain and infrastructure:
- Enable a set of Clippy lints: 'ptr_as_ptr', 'ptr_cast_constness',
'as_ptr_cast_mut', 'as_underscore', 'cast_lossless' and
'ref_as_ptr'
These are intended to avoid type casts with the 'as' operator,
which are quite powerful, into restricted variants that are less
powerful and thus should help to avoid mistakes
- Remove the 'author' key now that most instances were moved to the
plural one in the previous cycle
'kernel' crate:
- New 'bug' module: add 'warn_on!' macro which reuses the existing
'BUG'/'WARN' infrastructure, i.e. it respects the usual sysctls and
kernel parameters:
warn_on!(value == 42);
To avoid duplicating the assembly code, the same strategy is
followed as for the static branch code in order to share the
assembly between both C and Rust
This required a few rearrangements on C arch headers -- the
existing C macros should still generate the same outputs, thus no
functional change expected there
- 'workqueue' module: add delayed work items, including a
'DelayedWork' struct, a 'impl_has_delayed_work!' macro and an
'enqueue_delayed' method, e.g.:
/// Enqueue the struct for execution on the system workqueue,
/// where its value will be printed 42 jiffies later.
fn print_later(value: Arc<MyStruct>) {
let _ = workqueue::system().enqueue_delayed(value, 42);
}
- New 'bits' module: add support for 'bit' and 'genmask' functions,
with runtime- and compile-time variants, e.g.:
- 'uaccess' module: add 'UserSliceReader::strcpy_into_buf', which
reads NUL-terminated strings from userspace into a '&CStr'
Introduce 'UserPtr' newtype, similar in purpose to '__user' in C,
to minimize mistakes handling userspace pointers, including mixing
them up with integers and leaking them via the 'Debug' trait. Add
it to the prelude, too
- Start preparations for the replacement of our custom 'CStr' type
with the analogous type in the 'core' standard library. This will
take place across several cycles to make it easier. For this one,
it includes a new 'fmt' module, using upstream method names and
some other cleanups
Replace 'fmt!' with a re-export, which helps Clippy lint properly,
and clean up the found 'uninlined-format-args' instances
- 'dma' module:
- Clarify wording and be consistent in 'coherent' nomenclature
- Convert the 'read!()' and 'write!()' macros to return a 'Result'
- Add 'as_slice()', 'write()' methods in 'CoherentAllocation'
- Expose 'count()' and 'size()' in 'CoherentAllocation' and add
the corresponding type invariants
- Make 'Instant' generic over clock source. This allows the
compiler to assert that arithmetic expressions involving the
'Instant' use 'Instants' based on the same clock source
- Make 'HrTimer' generic over the timer mode. 'HrTimer' timers
take a 'Duration' or an 'Instant' when setting the expiry time,
depending on the timer mode. With this change, the compiler can
check the type matches the timer mode
- Add an abstraction for 'fsleep'. 'fsleep' is a flexible sleep
function that will select an appropriate sleep method depending
on the requested sleep time
- Avoid 64-bit divisions on 32-bit hardware when calculating
timestamps
- Seal the 'HrTimerMode' trait. This prevents users of the
'HrTimerMode' from implementing the trait on their own types
- Pass the correct timer mode ID to 'hrtimer_start_range_ns()'
- 'list' module: remove 'OFFSET' constants, allowing to remove
pointer arithmetic; now 'impl_list_item!' invokes
'impl_has_list_links!' or 'impl_has_list_links_self_ptr!'. Other
simplifications too
- 'types' module: remove 'ForeignOwnable::PointedTo' in favor of a
constant, which avoids exposing the type of the opaque pointer, and
require 'into_foreign' to return non-null
Remove the 'Either<L, R>' type as well. It is unused, and we want
to encourage the use of custom enums for concrete use cases
- 'sync' module: implement 'Borrow' and 'BorrowMut' for 'Arc' types
to allow them to be used in generic APIs
- 'alloc' module: implement 'Borrow' and 'BorrowMut' for 'Box<T, A>';
and 'Borrow', 'BorrowMut' and 'Default' for 'Vec<T, A>'
- 'Opaque' type: add 'cast_from' method to perform a restricted cast
that cannot change the inner type and use it in callers of
'container_of!'. Rename 'raw_get' to 'cast_into' to match it
- 'rbtree' module: add 'is_empty' method
- 'sync' module: new 'aref' submodule to hold 'AlwaysRefCounted' and
'ARef', which are moved from the too general 'types' module which
we want to reduce or eventually remove. Also fix a safety comment
in 'static_lock_class'

- Add 'impl<T, E> [Pin]Init<T, E> for Result<T, E>', so results are

tools/getdelays: add backward compatibility for taskstats version
Add version checks to print_delayacct() to handle differences in struct
taskstats across kernel versions. Field availability depends on taskstats
version (t->version), corresponding to TASKSTATS_VERSION in kernel headers
(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.

kexec: enable CMA based contiguous allocation
When booting a new kernel with kexec_file, the kernel picks a target
location that the kernel should live at, then allocates random pages,
checks whether any of those patches magically happens to coincide with a
target address range and if so, uses them for that range.
For every page allocated this way, it then creates a page list that the
relocation code - code that executes while all CPUs are off and we are
just about to jump into the new kernel - copies to their final memory
location. We can not put them there before, because chances are pretty
good that at least some page in the target range is already in use by the
currently running Linux environment. Copying is happening from a single
CPU at RAM rate, which takes around 4-50 ms per 100 MiB.
All of this is inefficient and error prone.
To successfully kexec, we need to quiesce all devices of the outgoing
kernel so they don't scribble over the new kernel's memory. We have seen
cases where that does not happen properly (*cough* GIC *cough*) and hence
the new kernel was corrupted. This started a month long journey to root
cause failing kexecs to eventually see memory corruption, because the new
kernel was corrupted severely enough that it could not emit output to tell
us about the fact that it was corrupted. By allocating memory for the
next kernel from a memory range that is guaranteed scribbling free, we can
boot the next kernel up to a point where it is at least able to detect
corruption and maybe even stop it before it becomes severe. This
increases the chance for successful kexecs.
Since kexec got introduced, Linux has gained the CMA framework which can
perform physically contiguous memory mappings, while keeping that memory
available for movable memory when it is not needed for contiguous
allocations. The default CMA allocator is for DMA allocations.
This patch adds logic to the kexec file loader to attempt to place the
target payload at a location allocated from CMA. If successful, it uses
that memory range directly instead of creating copy instructions during
the hot phase. To ensure that there is a safety net in case anything goes
wrong with the CMA allocation, it also adds a flag for user space to force
disable CMA allocations.
Using CMA allocations has two advantages:
1) Faster by 4-50 ms per 100 MiB. There is no more need to copy in the
hot phase.
2) More robust. Even if by accident some page is still in use for DMA,
the new kernel image will be safe from that access because it resides
in a memory region that is considered allocated in the old kernel and
has a chance to reinitialize that component.

"This update replaces the remaining tasklet usage in the FireWire
subsystem with workqueue for asynchronous packet transmission. With
this change, tasklets are now fully eliminated from the subsystem.
Asynchronous packet transmission is used for serial bus topology
management as well as for the operation of the SBP-2 protocol driver
(firewire-sbp2). To ensure reliability during low-memory conditions,
the associated workqueue is created with the WQ_MEM_RECLAIM flag,
allowing it to participate in memory reclaim paths. Other attributes
are aligned with those used for isochronous packet handling, which was
migrated to workqueues in v6.12.
The workqueues are sleepable and support preemptible work items,
making them more suitable for real-time workloads that benefit from
timely task preemption at the system level.
There remains an issue where 'schedule()' may be called within an RCU
read-side critical section, due to a direct replacement of
'tasklet_disable_in_atomic()' with 'disable_work_sync()'. A proposed
fix for this has been posted[1], and is currently under review and

/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
...
drm:
drm-active-stolen-system0
[Total memory active in one or more engines. Unit: drm_i915]
drm-active-system0
[Total memory active in one or more engines. Unit: drm_i915]

drm-engine-video
[Utilization in ns. Unit: drm_i915]
...
$ sudo perf stat -a -e drm-engine-render,drm-engine-video,drm-engine-capacity-video sleep 1
* Add description for software events. The description is in JSON format
and the event parser now can handle the software events like others
(for example, it's case-insensitive and subject to wildcard matching).
$ perf list software
List of pre-defined events (to be used in -e or -M):

[Number of page faults [This event is an alias of faults]. Unit: software]

perf ftrace:

between the two events instead of a function.
# statistics (in usec)
total time: 194915
avg time: 6961
max time: 12855
min time: 373

* Add new function graph tracer options (--graph-opts) to display more
info like arguments and return value. They will be passed to the
kernel ftrace directly.
* 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"

tracing: Have unsigned int function args displayed as hexadecimal
Most function arguments that are passed in as unsigned int or unsigned
long are better displayed as hexadecimal than normal integer. For example,
the functions:
static void __create_object(unsigned long ptr, size_t size,
int min_count, gfp_t gfp, unsigned int objflags);
static bool stack_access_ok(struct unwind_state *state, unsigned long _addr,
size_t len);
void __local_bh_disable_ip(unsigned long ip, unsigned int cnt);
Which is much easier to understand as most unsigned longs are usually just
pointers. Even the "unsigned int cnt" in __local_bh_disable_ip() looks
better as hexadecimal as a lot of flags are passed as unsigned.

tracefs. To keep backward compatibility, tracefs was auto-mounted in
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing as well.
All distros now mount tracefs on /sys/kernel/tracing. Having it seen
in two different locations has lead to various issues and
inconsistencies.
The VFS folks have to also maintain debugfs_create_automount() for
this single user.
It's been over 10 years. Tooling and scripts should start replacing
the debugfs location with the tracefs one. The reason tracefs was
created in the first place was to allow access to the tracing
facilities without the need to configure debugfs into the kernel.
Using tracefs should now be more robust.
A new config is created: CONFIG_TRACEFS_AUTOMOUNT_DEPRECATED which is
default y, so that the kernel is still built with the automount. This
config allows those that want to remove the automount from debugfs to
do so.
When tracefs is accessed from /sys/kernel/debug/tracing, the
following printk is triggerd:
pr_warn("NOTICE: Automounting of tracing to debugfs is deprecated and will be removed in 2030\n");
This gives users another 5 years to fix their scripts.
- Use queue_rcu_work() instead of call_rcu() for freeing event filters
The number of filters to be free can be many depending on the number
of events within an event system. Freeing them from softirq context
can potentially cause undesired latency. Use the RCU workqueue to
free them instead.
- Remove pointless memory barriers in latency code
Memory barriers were added to some of the latency code a long time
ago with the idea of "making them visible", but that's not what
memory barriers are for. They are to synchronize access between
different variables. There was no synchronization here making them
pointless.
- Remove "__attribute__()" from the type field of event format
When LLVM is used to compile the kernel with CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF=y
and PAHOLE_HAS_BTF_TAG=y, some of the format fields get expanded with
the following:
This confuses parsers. Add code to strip these tags from the strings.
- Add eprobe config option CONFIG_EPROBE_EVENTS
Eprobes were added back in 5.15 but were only enabled when another
probe was enabled (kprobe, fprobe, uprobe, etc). The eprobes had no
config option of their own. Add one as they should be a separate
entity.
It's default y to keep with the old kernels but still has
dependencies on TRACING and HAVE_REGS_AND_STACK_ACCESS_API.
- Add eprobe documentation
When eprobes were added back in 5.15 no documentation was added to
describe them. This needs to be rectified.
- Replace open coded cpumask_next_wrap() in move_to_next_cpu()
- Have preemptirq_delay_run() use off-stack CPU mask
- Remove obsolete comment about pelt_cfs event
DECLARE_TRACE() appends "_tp" to trace events now, but the comment
above pelt_cfs still mentioned appending it manually.
- Remove EVENT_FILE_FL_SOFT_MODE flag
The SOFT_MODE flag was required when the soft enabling and disabling
of trace events was first introduced. But there was a bug with this
approach as it only worked for a single instance. When multiple users
required soft disabling and disabling the code was changed to have a
ref count. The SOFT_MODE flag is now set iff the ref count is non
zero. This is redundant and just reading the ref count is good
enough.

Now that BPF based sampling has been added to timerlat, add an enum
to represent which mode timerlat is running in
- Add action on timelat threshold feature
A new option, --on-threshold, is added, taking an argument that
further specifies the action. Actions added in this patch are:
- trace[,file=<filename>]: Saves tracefs buffer, optionally taking a
filename
- signal,num=<sig>,pid=<pid>: Sends signal to process. "parent" might
be specified instead of number to send signal to parent process
- shell,command=<command>: Execute shell command
- Allow resuming tracing in timerlat bpf
rtla-timerlat BPF program uses a global variable stored in a .bss
section to store whether tracing has been stopped. Map it to allow it
to resume tracing after it has been stopped
- Add continue action to timerlat
Introduce option to resume tracing after a latency threshold
overflow. The option is implemented as an action named "continue"
- Add action on end feature to timerlat
Implement actions on end next to actions on threshold. A new option,
--on-end is added, parallel to --on-threshold. Instead of being
executed whenever a latency threshold is reached, it is executed at
the end of the measurement
