      arm64: kernel: Save and restore UAO and addr_limit on exception entry · e19a6ee2
      James Morse authored 
      

If we take an exception while at EL1, the exception handler inherits
the original context's addr_limit and PSTATE.UAO values. To be consistent
always reset addr_limit and PSTATE.UAO on (re-)entry to EL1. This
prevents accidental re-use of the original context's addr_limit.

Based on a similar patch for arm from Russell King.

      xenbus: don't BUG() on user mode induced condition · 0beef634
      Jan Beulich authored 
      

Inability to locate a user mode specified transaction ID should not
lead to a kernel crash. For other than XS_TRANSACTION_START also
don't issue anything to xenbus if the specified ID doesn't match that
of any active transaction.

      perf/core: Fix pmu::filter_match for SW-led groups · 2c81a647
      Mark Rutland authored 
      

The following commit:

  66eb579e ("perf: allow for PMU-specific event filtering")

added the pmu::filter_match() callback. This was intended to
avoid HW constraints on events from resulting in extremely
pessimistic scheduling.

However, pmu::filter_match() is only called for the leader of each event
group. When the leader is a SW event, we do not filter the groups, and
may fail at pmu::add() time, and when this happens we'll give up on
scheduling any event groups later in the list until they are rotated
ahead of the failing group.

This can result in extremely sub-optimal event scheduling behaviour,
e.g. if running the following on a big.LITTLE platform:

$ taskset -c 0 ./perf stat \
 -e 'a57{context-switches,armv8_cortex_a57/config=0x11/}' \
 -e 'a53{context-switches,armv8_cortex_a53/config=0x11/}' \
 ls

     <not counted>      context-switches                                              (0.00%)
     <not counted>      armv8_cortex_a57/config=0x11/                                 (0.00%)
                24      context-switches                                              (37.36%)
          57589154      armv8_cortex_a53/config=0x11/                                 (37.36%)

Here the 'a53' event group was always eligible to be scheduled, but
the 'a57' group never eligible to be scheduled, as the task was always
affine to a Cortex-A53 CPU. The SW (group leader) event in the 'a57'
group was eligible, but the HW event failed at pmu::add() time,
resulting in ctx_flexible_sched_in giving up on scheduling further
groups with HW events.

One way of avoiding this is to check pmu::filter_match() on siblings
as well as the group leader. If any of these fail their
pmu::filter_match() call, we must skip the entire group before
attempting to add any events.

      init/Kconfig: keep Expert users menu together · 076501ff
      Randy Dunlap authored 
      

The "expert" menu was broken (split) such that all entries in it after
KALLSYMS were displayed in the "General setup" area instead of in the
"Expert users" area.  Fix this by adding one kconfig dependency.

Yes, the Expert users menu is fragile.  Problems like this have happened
several times in the past.  I will attempt to isolate the Expert users
menu if there is interest in that.
