Linus Torvalds 7f4eb0a6d5 Merge branch 'perf-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull perf updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "On the kernel side the main changes in this cycle were:

   - Add Intel Kaby Lake CPU support (Srinivas Pandruvada)

   - AMD uncore driver updates for fam17 (Janakarajan Natarajan)

   - Intel/PT updates and core events optimizations and cleanups
     (Alexander Shishkin)

   - cgroups events fixes (David Carrillo-Cisneros)

   - kprobes improvements (Masami Hiramatsu)

   - ... plus misc fixes and updates.

  On the tooling side the main changes were:

   - Support clang build in tools/{perf,lib/{bpf,traceevent,api}} with
     CC=clang, to, for instance, take advantage of better warnings
     (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo):

   - Introduce the 'delta-abs' 'perf diff' compute method, that orders
     the histogram entries by the absolute value of the percentage delta
     for a function in two perf.data files, i.e. the functions that
     changed the most (increase or decrease in samples) comes first
     (Namhyung Kim)

   - Add support for parsing Intel uncore vendor event files and add
     uncore vendor events for the Intel server processors (Haswell,
     Broadwell, IvyBridge), Xeon Phi (Knights Landing) and Broadwell DE
     (Andi Kleen)

   - Introduce 'perf ftrace' a perf front end to the kernel's ftrace
     function and function_graph tracer, defaulting to the
     "function_graph" tracer, more work will be done in reviving this
     effort, forward porting it from its initial patch submission
     (Namhyung Kim)

   - Add 'e' and 'c' hotkeys to expand/collapse call chains for a single
     hist entry in the 'perf report' and 'perf top' TUI (Jiri Olsa)

   - Account thread wait time (off CPU time) separately: sleep, iowait
     and preempt, based on the prev_state of the last event, show the
     breakdown when using "perf sched timehist --state" (Namhyumg Kim)

   - Add more triggers to switch the output file (perf.data.TIMESTAMP).

     Now, in addition to switching to a different output file when
     receiving a SIGUSR2, one can also specify file size and time based
     triggers:

           perf record -a --switch-output=signal

     is equivalent to what we had before:

           perf record -a --switch-output

     While we can also ask for the file to be "sliced" by size, taking
     into account that that will happen only when we get woken up by the
     kernel, i.e. one has to take into account the --mmap-pages (the
     size of the perf mmap ring buffer):

           perf record -a --switch-output=2G

     will break the perf.data output into multiple files limited to 2GB
     of samples, right when generating the output.

     For time based samples, alert() will be used, so to have 1 minute
     limited perf.data output files:

          perf record -a --switch-output=1m

     (Jiri Olsa)

   - Improve 'perf trace' (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

   - 'perf kallsyms' toy tool to look for extended symbol information on
     the running kernel and demonstrate the machine/thread/symbol APIs
     for use in other tools, such as 'perf probe' (Arnaldo Carvalho de
     Melo)

   - ... plus tons of other changes, see the shortlog and Git log for
     details"

Josh Poimboeuf 9f0c18aec6 objtool: Fix CONFIG_STACK_VALIDATION=y warning for out-of-tree modules
When building a CONFIG_STACK_VALIDATION enabled kernel without the
libelf devel package installed, the Makefile prints a warning:

  "Cannot use CONFIG_STACK_VALIDATION, please install libelf-dev, libelf-devel or elfutils-libelf-devel"

But when building an out-of-tree module, the warning doesn't show.
Instead it tries to use objtool, and the build fails with:

  /bin/sh: ./tools/objtool/objtool: No such file or directory

Make sure the warning and the disabling of objtool occur in all cases,
by moving the CONFIG_STACK_VALIDATION checks outside the 'ifeq
($(KBUILD_EXTMOD),)' block in the Makefile.

David Lin 35f860f9ba jump label: pass kbuild_cflags when checking for asm goto support
Some versions of ARM GCC compiler such as Android toolchain throws in a
'-fpic' flag by default.  This causes the gcc-goto check script to fail
although some config would have '-fno-pic' flag in the KBUILD_CFLAGS.

This patch passes the KBUILD_CFLAGS to the check script so that the
script does not rely on the default config from different compilers.

Josh Poimboeuf e572d08871 tools build: Add tools tree support for 'make -s'
When doing a kernel build with 'make -s', everything is silenced except
the objtool build.  That's because the tools tree support for silent
builds is some combination of missing and broken.

Three changes are needed to fix it:

- Makefile: propagate '-s' to the sub-make's MAKEFLAGS variable so the
  tools Makefiles can see it.

- tools/scripts/Makefile.include: fix the tools Makefiles' ability to
  recognize '-s'.  The MAKE_VERSION and MAKEFLAGS checks are copied from
  the top-level Makefile.  This silences the "DESCEND objtool" message.

- tools/build/Makefile.build: add support to the tools Build files for
  recognizing '-s'.  Again the MAKE_VERSION and MAKEFLAGS checks are
  copied from the top-level Makefile.  This silences all the object
  compile/link messages.

Nicolas Pitre 8655639240 kbuild: fix building bzImage with CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS enabled
When building a specific target such as bzImage, modules aren't normally
built.  However if CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS is enabled, no built modules
means none of the exported symbols are used and therefore they will all
be trimmed away from the final kernel.  A subsequent "make modules" will
fail because modpost cannot find the needed symbols for those modules in
the kernel binary.

Let's make sure modules are also built whenever CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS
is enabled and that the kernel binary is properly rebuilt accordingly.

Borislav Petkov c6a3855391 kbuild: Steal gcc's pie from the very beginning
So Sebastian turned off the PIE for kernel builds but that was too late
- Kbuild.include already uses KBUILD_CFLAGS and trying to disable gcc
options with, say cc-disable-warning, fails:

  gcc -D__KERNEL__ -Wall -Wundef -Wstrict-prototypes -Wno-trigraphs
  ...
  -Wno-sign-compare -fno-asynchronous-unwind-tables -Wframe-address -c -x c /dev/null -o .31392.tmp
  /dev/null:1:0: error: code model kernel does not support PIC mode

because that returns an error and we can't disable the warning. For
example in this case:

KBUILD_CFLAGS   += $(call cc-disable-warning,frame-address,)

which leads to gcc issuing all those warnings again.

So let's turn off PIE/PIC at the earliest possible moment, when we
declare KBUILD_CFLAGS so that cc-disable-warning picks it up too.

Also, we need the $(call cc-option ...) because -fno-PIE is supported
since gcc v3.4 and our lowest supported gcc version is 3.2 right now.

Arnd Bergmann a76bcf557e Kbuild: enable -Wmaybe-uninitialized warning for "make W=1"
Traditionally, we have always had warnings about uninitialized variables
enabled, as this is part of -Wall, and generally a good idea [1], but it
also always produced false positives, mainly because this is a variation
of the halting problem and provably impossible to get right in all cases
[2].

Various people have identified cases that are particularly bad for false
positives, and in commit e74fc973b6 ("Turn off -Wmaybe-uninitialized
when building with -Os"), I turned off the warning for any build that
was done with CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE.  This drastically reduced the number
of false positive warnings in the default build but unfortunately had
the side effect of turning the warning off completely in 'allmodconfig'
builds, which in turn led to a lot of warnings (both actual bugs, and
remaining false positives) to go in unnoticed.

With commit 877417e6ff ("Kbuild: change CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE
definition") enabled the warning again for allmodconfig builds in v4.7
and in v4.8-rc1, I had finally managed to address all warnings I get in
an ARM allmodconfig build and most other maybe-uninitialized warnings
for ARM randconfig builds.

However, commit 6e8d666e92 ("Disable "maybe-uninitialized" warning
globally") was merged at the same time and disabled it completely for
all configurations, because of false-positive warnings on x86 that I had
not addressed until then.  This caused a lot of actual bugs to get
merged into mainline, and I sent several dozen patches for these during
the v4.9 development cycle.  Most of these are actual bugs, some are for
correct code that is safe because it is only called under external
constraints that make it impossible to run into the case that gcc sees,
and in a few cases gcc is just stupid and finds something that can
obviously never happen.

I have now done a few thousand randconfig builds on x86 and collected
all patches that I needed to address every single warning I got (I can
provide the combined patch for the other warnings if anyone is
interested), so I hope we can get the warning back and let people catch
the actual bugs earlier.

This reverts the change to disable the warning completely and for now
brings it back at the "make W=1" level, so we can get it merged into
mainline without introducing false positives.  A follow-up patch enables
it on all levels unless some configuration option turns it off because
of false-positives.

Sebastian Andrzej Siewior 8ae94224c9 kbuild: add -fno-PIE
Debian started to build the gcc with -fPIE by default so the kernel
build ends before it starts properly with:
|kernel/bounds.c:1:0: error: code model kernel does not support PIC mode

Also add to KBUILD_AFLAGS due to:

|gcc -Wp,-MD,arch/x86/entry/vdso/vdso32/.note.o.d … -mfentry -DCC_USING_FENTRY … vdso/vdso32/note.S
|arch/x86/entry/vdso/vdso32/note.S:1:0: sorry, unimplemented: -mfentry isn’t supported for 32-bit in combination with -fpic

Tagging it stable so it is possible to compile recent stable kernels as
well.

 - EXPORT_SYMBOL for asm source by Al Viro.

   This does bring a regression, because genksyms no longer generates
   checksums for these symbols (CONFIG_MODVERSIONS). Nick Piggin is
   working on a patch to fix this.

   Plus, we are talking about functions like strcpy(), which rarely
   change prototypes.

 - Fixes for PPC fallout of the above by Stephen Rothwell and Nick
   Piggin

 - fixdep speedup by Alexey Dobriyan.

 - preparatory work by Nick Piggin to allow architectures to build with
   -ffunction-sections, -fdata-sections and --gc-sections

 - CONFIG_THIN_ARCHIVES support by Stephen Rothwell

 - fix for filenames with colons in the initramfs source by me.

Linus Torvalds ef6000b4c6 Disable the __builtin_return_address() warning globally after all
This affectively reverts commit 377ccbb483 ("Makefile: Mute warning
for __builtin_return_address(>0) for tracing only") because it turns out
that it really isn't tracing only - it's all over the tree.

We already also had the warning disabled separately for mm/usercopy.c
(which this commit also removes), and it turns out that we will also
want to disable it for get_lock_parent_ip(), that is used for at least
TRACE_IRQFLAGS.  Which (when enabled) ends up being all over the tree.

Steven Rostedt had a patch that tried to limit it to just the config
options that actually triggered this, but quite frankly, the extra
complexity and abstraction just isn't worth it.  We have never actually
had a case where the warning is actually useful, so let's just disable
it globally and not worry about it.

Shuah Khan 1848929251 samples: move blackfin gptimers-example from Documentation
Move blackfin gptimers-example to samples and remove it from Documentation
Makefile. Update samples Kconfig and Makefile to build gptimers-example.

blackfin is the last CONFIG_BUILD_DOCSRC target in Documentation/Makefile.
Hence this patch also includes changes to remove CONFIG_BUILD_DOCSRC from
Makefile and lib/Kconfig.debug and updates VIDEO_PCI_SKELETON dependency
on BUILD_DOCSRC.

Documentation/Makefile is not deleted to avoid braking make htmldocs and
make distclean.

Linus Torvalds 02bafd96f3 This is the documentation update pull for the 4.9 merge window.
The Sphinx transition is still creating a fair amount of work.  Here we
 have a number of fixes and, importantly, a proper PDF output solution,
 thanks to Jani Nikula, Mauro Carvalho Chehab and Markus Heiser.
 
 I've started a couple of new books: a driver API book (based on the old
 device-drivers.tmpl) and a development tools book.  Both are meant to show
 how we can integrate together our existing documentation into a more
 coherent and accessible whole.  It involves moving some stuff around and
 formatting changes, but, I think, the results are worth it.  The good news
 is that most of our existing Documentation/*.txt files are *almost* in RST
 format already; the amount of messing around required is minimal.
 
 And, of course, there's the usual set of updates, typo fixes, and more.

powerpc will use this to check vmlinux linker relocations for sanity,

Nicholas Piggin b67067f117 kbuild: allow archs to select link dead code/data elimination
Introduce LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION option for architectures to
select to build with -ffunction-sections, -fdata-sections, and link
with --gc-sections. It requires some work (documented) to ensure all
unreferenced entrypoints are live, and requires toolchain and build
verification, so it is made a per-arch option for now.

On a random powerpc64le build, this yelds a significant size saving,
it boots and runs fine, but there is a lot I haven't tested as yet, so
these savings may be reduced if there are bugs in the link.
