This patch removes a redundant store on regs->flags introduced
by commit:
71eb9ee9596d ("perf/x86/intel: Fix linear IP of PEBS real_ip on Haswell and later CPUs")
We were clearing the PERF_EFLAGS_EXACT but it was overwritten by
regs->flags = pebs->flags later on.
The PERF_EFLAGS_EXACT is a software flag using bit 3 of regs->flags.
X86 marks this bit as Reserved. To make sure this bit is zero before
we do any IP processing, we clear it explicitly.
Patch also removes the following assignment:
regs->flags = pebs->flags | (regs->flags & PERF_EFLAGS_VM);
Because there is no regs->flags to preserve anymore because
set_linear_ip() is not called until later.

Pull perf/core improvements and fixes from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:
- Show only failing syscalls with 'perf trace --failure' (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
e.g: See what 'openat' syscalls are failing:
# perf trace --failure -e openat
762.323 ( 0.007 ms): VideoCapture/4566 openat(dfd: CWD, filename: /dev/video2) = -1 ENOENT No such file or directory
<SNIP N /dev/videoN open attempts... sigh, where is that improvised camera lid?!? >
790.228 ( 0.008 ms): VideoCapture/4566 openat(dfd: CWD, filename: /dev/video63) = -1 ENOENT No such file or directory
^C#
- Show information about the event (freq, nr_samples, total period/nr_events) in
the annotate --tui and --stdio2 'perf annotate' output, similar to the
first line in the 'perf report --tui', but just for the samples for a
the annotated symbol (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
- Introduce 'perf version --build-options' to show what features were
linked, aliased as well as a shorter 'perf -vv' (Jin Yao)
- Add a "dso_size" sort order (Kim Phillips)
- Remove redundant ')' in the tracepoint output in 'perf trace' (Changbin Du)
- Synchronize x86's cpufeatures.h, no effect on toolss (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

This will be useful for the annotate browser as well, that wants to have
extra title lines, i.e. the current ui_browser unconditionally reserves
the first line for a browser title and the last one for status messages.
But some browsers, like the buckets one (hists browser) needs extra
lines to show headers, allowing it to be shown or not, press 'H' in
'perf top' or 'perf report' to see this feature.
So move that logic to the core ui_browser used by the hists_browser
('perf top' and 'perf report' main interface) so that it can be used by
the annotate browser too.

The previous patch made this function useful to non-TUI parts of the
tools, but left it where the function from what it was carved, so that
the patch showed more clearly the process.
Now just move it outside the TUI parts so that we can finally use it,
even when the TUI code doesn't get built/linked.

Rename it to hists_browser__scnprintf_title() to better reflect that it
provides a scnprintf-like function operating on a hists_browser
instance.
This paves the way to have a non-hists_browser specific function to
scnprintf format a title with per evsel information to use in other
tools or UIs.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/brodo/linux
Pull removal of in-kernel calls to syscalls from Dominik Brodowski:
"System calls are interaction points between userspace and the kernel.
Therefore, system call functions such as sys_xyzzy() or
compat_sys_xyzzy() should only be called from userspace via the
syscall table, but not from elsewhere in the kernel.
At least on 64-bit x86, it will likely be a hard requirement from
v4.17 onwards to not call system call functions in the kernel: It is
better to use use a different calling convention for system calls
there, where struct pt_regs is decoded on-the-fly in a syscall wrapper
which then hands processing over to the actual syscall function. This
means that only those parameters which are actually needed for a
specific syscall are passed on during syscall entry, instead of
filling in six CPU registers with random user space content all the
time (which may cause serious trouble down the call chain). Those
x86-specific patches will be pushed through the x86 tree in the near
future.
Moreover, rules on how data may be accessed may differ between kernel
data and user data. This is another reason why calling sys_xyzzy() is
generally a bad idea, and -- at most -- acceptable in arch-specific
code.
This patchset removes all in-kernel calls to syscall functions in the
kernel with the exception of arch/. On top of this, it cleans up the
three places where many syscalls are referenced or prototyped, namely
kernel/sys_ni.c, include/linux/syscalls.h and include/linux/compat.h"

Commit 2a98dc028f91 ("include/linux/bitmap.h: turn bitmap_set and
bitmap_clear into memset when possible") introduced an optimization to
bitmap_{set,clear}() which uses memset() when the start and length are
constants aligned to a byte.
This is wrong on big-endian systems; our bitmaps are arrays of unsigned
long, so bit n is not at byte n / 8 in memory. This was caught by the
Btrfs selftests, but the bitmap selftests also fail when run on a
big-endian machine.
We can still use memset if the start and length are aligned to an
unsigned long, so do that on big-endian. The same problem applies to
the memcmp in bitmap_equal(), so fix it there, too.
Fixes: 2a98dc028f91 ("include/linux/bitmap.h: turn bitmap_set and bitmap_clear into memset when possible")
Fixes: 2c6deb01525a ("bitmap: use memcmp optimisation in more situations")

Pul removal of obsolete architecture ports from Arnd Bergmann:
"This removes the entire architecture code for blackfin, cris, frv,
m32r, metag, mn10300, score, and tile, including the associated device
drivers.
I have been working with the (former) maintainers for each one to
ensure that my interpretation was right and the code is definitely
unused in mainline kernels. Many had fond memories of working on the
respective ports to start with and getting them included in upstream,
but also saw no point in keeping the port alive without any users.
In the end, it seems that while the eight architectures are extremely
different, they all suffered the same fate: There was one company in
charge of an SoC line, a CPU microarchitecture and a software
ecosystem, which was more costly than licensing newer off-the-shelf
CPU cores from a third party (typically ARM, MIPS, or RISC-V). It
seems that all the SoC product lines are still around, but have not
used the custom CPU architectures for several years at this point. In
contrast, CPU instruction sets that remain popular and have actively
maintained kernel ports tend to all be used across multiple licensees.
[ See the new nds32 port merged in the previous commit for the next
generation of "one company in charge of an SoC line, a CPU
microarchitecture and a software ecosystem" - Linus ]
The removal came out of a discussion that is now documented at
https://lwn.net/Articles/748074/. Unlike the original plans, I'm not
marking any ports as deprecated but remove them all at once after I
made sure that they are all unused. Some architectures (notably tile,
mn10300, and blackfin) are still being shipped in products with old
kernels, but those products will never be updated to newer kernel
releases.
After this series, we still have a few architectures without mainline
gcc support:
- unicore32 and hexagon both have very outdated gcc releases, but the
maintainers promised to work on providing something newer. At least
in case of hexagon, this will only be llvm, not gcc.
- openrisc, risc-v and nds32 are still in the process of finishing
their support or getting it added to mainline gcc in the first
place. They all have patched gcc-7.3 ports that work to some
degree, but complete upstream support won't happen before gcc-8.1.
Csky posted their first kernel patch set last week, their situation
will be similar
[ Palmer Dabbelt points out that RISC-V support is in mainline gcc
since gcc-7, although gcc-7.3.0 is the recommended minimum - Linus ]"

Error injection is a useful mechanism to fail arbitrary kernel
functions. However, it is often hard to guarantee an error propagates
appropriately to user space programs. By injecting into syscalls, we can
return arbitrary values to user space directly; this increases
flexibility and robustness in testing, allowing us to test user space
error paths effectively.
The following script, for example, fails calls to sys_open() from a
given pid:
from bcc import BPF
from sys import argv
pid = argv[1]
prog = r"""
int kprobe__SyS_open(struct pt_regs *ctx, const char *pathname, int flags)
{
u32 pid = bpf_get_current_pid_tgid();
if (pid == %s)
bpf_override_return(ctx, -ENOMEM);
return 0;
}
""" % pid
b = BPF(text=prog)
while 1:
b.perf_buffer_poll()
This patch whitelists all syscalls defined with SYSCALL_DEFINE and
COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE for error injection. These changes are not
intended to be considered stable, and would normally be configured off.

compat_sys_*() functions are no longer called from within the kernel on
x86 except from the system call table. Linking the system call does not
require compat_sys_*() function prototypes at least on x86. Therefore,
generate compat_sys_*() prototypes on-the-fly within the
COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINEx() macro, and remove x86-specific prototypes from
various header files.
