Andi reported a performance drop in single threaded perf tools such as
'perf script' due to the growing number of locks being put in place to
allow for multithreaded tools, so wrap the POSIX threads rwlock routines
with the names used for such kinds of locks in the Linux kernel and then
allow for tools to ask for those locks to be used or not.
I.e. a tool may have a multithreaded phase and then switch to single
threaded, like the upcoming patches for the synthesizing of
PERF_RECORD_{FORK,MMAP,etc} for pre-existing processes to then switch to
single threaded mode in 'perf top'.
The init routines will not be conditional, this way starting as single
threaded to then move to multi threaded mode should be possible.

LIST_POISON[12] are used to initialize list_head and hlist_node
pointers, and do void pointer arithmetic, which C++ doesn't like, so, to
avoid drifting from the kernel by introducing some HLIST_POISON to do
away with void pointer math, just make those poisoned pointers be NULL
when building it with a C++ compiler.
Noticed with:

Now that I'm switching the container builds from using a local volume
pointing to the kernel repository with the perf sources, instead getting
a detached tarball to be able to use a container cluster, some places
broke because I forgot to put some of the required files in
tools/perf/MANIFEST, namely some bitsperlong.h files.
So, to fix it do the same as for tools/build/ and pack the whole
tools/arch/ directory.

To get the defines introduced in the commit aafd4562dfee ("mm: arch:
consolidate mmap hugetlb size encodings"), that doesn't brings anything
interesting for tools/, but also the ones from d2cd9ede6e19 ("mm,fork:
introduce MADV_WIPEONFORK"), which does, and ends up triggering an auto-update
to the tools/perf/trace/beauty/generated/madvise_behavior_array.c file,
supporting the newly introduced 'behavior' values.

This is one more case where the way that syscall parameter values are
defined in kernel headers are easy to parse using a shell script that
will then generate the string table that gets used by the madvise
'behaviour' argument beautifier.
This way as soon as the header syncronization mechanism in perf's build
system detects a change in a copy of a kernel ABI header and that file
is syncronized, we get 'perf trace' updated automagically.
So, when we syncronize this:
Warning: Kernel ABI header at 'tools/include/uapi/asm-generic/mman-common.h' differs from latest version at 'include/uapi/asm-generic/mman-common.h'
We'll get these:
#define MADV_WIPEONFORK 18 /* Zero memory on fork, child only */
#define MADV_KEEPONFORK 19 /* Undo MADV_WIPEONFORK */

The 'trivial' lpm implementation in this test allows equivalent nodes
to be added (that is, nodes consisting of the same prefix and prefix
length). For lookup operations, this is fine because insertion happens
at the head of the (singly linked) list and the first, best match is
returned. In order to support deletion, the tlpm data structue must
first enforce uniqueness. This change modifies the insertion algorithm
to search for equivalent nodes and remove them. Note: the
BPF_MAP_TYPE_LPM_TRIE already has a uniqueness invariant that is
implemented as node replacement.

To process any events, it needs to find the thread in the machine first.
The machine maintains a rb tree to store all threads. The rb tree is
protected by a rw lock.
It is not a problem for current perf which serially processing events.
However, it will have scalability performance issue to process events in
parallel, especially on a heavy load system which have many threads.
Introduce a hashtable to divide the big rb tree into many samll rb tree
for threads. The index is thread id % hashtable size. It can reduce the
lock contention.
Committer notes:
Renamed some variables and function names to reduce semantic confusion:
'struct threads' pointers: thread -> threads
threads hastable index: tid -> hash_bucket
struct threads *machine__thread() -> machine__threads()
Cast tid to (unsigned int) to handle -1 in machine__threads() (Kan Liang)

Arnd Bergmann reported that a randconfig build was failing with the
following link error:
built-in.o: member arch/x86/kernel/time.o in archive is not an object
It turns out the link failed because the time.o file had been corrupted
by objtool:
nm: arch/x86/kernel/time.o: File format not recognized
In certain rare cases, when a .o file's ORC table is very small, the
.data section size doesn't change because it's page aligned. Because
all the existing sections haven't changed size, libelf doesn't detect
any section header changes, and so it doesn't update the section header
table properly. Instead it writes junk in the section header entries
for the new ORC sections.
Make sure libelf properly updates the section header table by setting
the ELF_F_DIRTY flag in the top level elf struct.

Binutils 2.29-9 in Debian return an error when elf_getdata is invoked
on empty section (.note.GNU-stack in all kernel files), causing
immediate failure of kernel build with:
elf_getdata: can't manipulate null section
As nothing is done with sections that have zero size, just do not
retrieve their data at all.

GFP_TEMPORARY was introduced by commit e12ba74d8ff3 ("Group short-lived
and reclaimable kernel allocations") along with __GFP_RECLAIMABLE. It's
primary motivation was to allow users to tell that an allocation is
short lived and so the allocator can try to place such allocations close
together and prevent long term fragmentation. As much as this sounds
like a reasonable semantic it becomes much less clear when to use the
highlevel GFP_TEMPORARY allocation flag. How long is temporary? Can the
context holding that memory sleep? Can it take locks? It seems there is
no good answer for those questions.
The current implementation of GFP_TEMPORARY is basically GFP_KERNEL |
__GFP_RECLAIMABLE which in itself is tricky because basically none of
the existing caller provide a way to reclaim the allocated memory. So
this is rather misleading and hard to evaluate for any benefits.
I have checked some random users and none of them has added the flag
with a specific justification. I suspect most of them just copied from
other existing users and others just thought it might be a good idea to
use without any measuring. This suggests that GFP_TEMPORARY just
motivates for cargo cult usage without any reasoning.
I believe that our gfp flags are quite complex already and especially
those with highlevel semantic should be clearly defined to prevent from
confusion and abuse. Therefore I propose dropping GFP_TEMPORARY and
replace all existing users to simply use GFP_KERNEL. Please note that
SLAB users with shrinkers will still get __GFP_RECLAIMABLE heuristic and
so they will be placed properly for memory fragmentation prevention.
I can see reasons we might want some gfp flag to reflect shorterm
allocations but I propose starting from a clear semantic definition and
only then add users with proper justification.
This was been brought up before LSF this year by Matthew [1] and it
turned out that GFP_TEMPORARY really doesn't have a clear semantic. It
seems to be a heuristic without any measured advantage for most (if not
all) its current users. The follow up discussion has revealed that
opinions on what might be temporary allocation differ a lot between
developers. So rather than trying to tweak existing users into a
semantic which they haven't expected I propose to simply remove the flag
and start from scratch if we really need a semantic for short term
allocations.
