Pull perf updates from Ingo Molnar:
"As a first remark I'd like to note that the way to build perf tooling
has been simplified and sped up, in the future it should be enough for
you to build perf via:
cd tools/perf/
make install
(ie without the -j option.) The build system will figure out the
number of CPUs and will do a parallel build+install.
The various build system inefficiencies and breakages Linus reported
against the v3.12 pull request should now be resolved - please
(re-)report any remaining annoyances or bugs.
Main changes on the perf kernel side:
* Performance optimizations:
. perf ring-buffer code optimizations, by Peter Zijlstra
. perf ring-buffer code optimizations, by Oleg Nesterov
. x86 NMI call-stack processing optimizations, by Peter Zijlstra
. perf context-switch optimizations, by Peter Zijlstra

time taken for callchain processing, from Namhyung Kim.
. Add new COMM infrastructure, further improving histogram
processing, from Frédéric Weisbecker, one fix from Namhyung Kim.

. Add new option --ignore-vmlinux for perf top, from Willy
Tarreau.
* 'perf trace' enhancements:

to hook into the userspace -> kernel pathname copy so that it
can map fds to pathnames without reading /proc/pid/fd/ symlinks.
From Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo.

Ramachandra.
. 'perf trace' now emits hints as to why tracing is not possible,
helping the user to setup the system to allow tracing in the
desired permission granularity, telling if the problem is due to
debugfs not being mounted or with not enough permission for
!root, /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_paranoit value, etc. From
Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo.

A bit of cleanup plus some gratuitous variable renaming. I think using
structures instead of numeric offsets makes this code much more
understandable.
Also added a comment about current time range expected by
the server.

MFD patches due for v3.13 - 2nd round.

Opens on current cifs/smb2/smb3 mounts with O_DIRECT flag fail
even when caching is disabled on the mount. This was
reported by those running SMB2 benchmarks who need to
be able to pass O_DIRECT on many of their open calls to
reduce caching effects, but would also be needed by other
applications.
When mounting with forcedirectio ("cache=none") cifs and smb2/smb3
do not go through the page cache and thus opens with O_DIRECT flag
should work (when posix extensions are negotiated we even are
able to send the flag to the server). This patch fixes that
in a simple way.
The 9P client has a similar situation (caching is often disabled)
and takes the same approach to O_DIRECT support ie works if caching
disabled, but if client caching enabled it fails with EINVAL.
A followon idea for a future patch as Pavel noted, could
be that files opened with O_DIRECT could cause us to change
inode->i_fop on the fly from
cifs_file_strict_ops
to
cifs_file_direct_ops
which would allow us to support this on non-forcedirectio mounts
(cache=strict and cache=loose) as well.

Andrey reported that he was seeing cifs.ko spam the logs with messages
like this:
CIFS VFS: Unexpected lookup error -26
He was listing the root directory of a server and hitting an error when
trying to QUERY_PATH_INFO against hiberfil.sys and pagefile.sys. The
right fix would be to switch the lookup code over to using FIND_FIRST,
but until then we really don't need to report this at a level of
KERN_ERR. Convert this message over to FYI level.

Sometimes, the server will report an error that basically indicates
that it's running out of resources. These include these under SMB1:
NT_STATUS_NO_MEMORY
NT_STATUS_SECTION_TOO_BIG
NT_STATUS_TOO_MANY_PAGING_FILES
...and this one under SMB2:
STATUS_NO_MEMORY
Currently, this gets mapped to ENOMEM by the client, but that's
confusing as an ENOMEM error is typically an indicator that the
client is out of memory.
Change these errors to instead map to EREMOTEIO to indicate that
the problem is actually server-side and not on the client.

Now we treat any reparse point as a symbolic link and map it to a Unix
one that is not true in a common case due to many reparse point types
supported by SMB servers.
Distinguish reparse point types into two groups:
1) that can be accessed directly through a reparse point
(junctions, deduplicated files, NFS symlinks);
2) that need to be processed manually (Windows symbolic links, DFS);
and map only Windows symbolic links to Unix ones.

Currently, the PLL is turned off for AR9485 when
switching to a low power state, but AR9485 has an issue
where the card will become unresponsive if left idle
for a long time without any traffic. To fix this,
force the PLL to always be on using a different initval
array, ar9485_1_1_pll_on_cdr_on_clkreq_disable_L1.
This is done for most of the AR9485 based cards
like HB125, WB225 etc. but certain models require the
feature to be turned off. Identify such cards and use
default values for them.

[1] The gpmi uses the nand_command_lp to issue the commands to NAND chips.
The gpmi issues a DMA operation with gpmi_cmd_ctrl when it handles
a NAND_CMD_NONE control command. So when we read a page(NAND_CMD_READ0)
from the NAND, we may send two DMA operations back-to-back.
If we do not serialize the two DMA operations, we will meet a bug when
1.1) we enable CONFIG_DMA_API_DEBUG, CONFIG_DMADEVICES_DEBUG,
and CONFIG_DEBUG_SG.
1.2) Use the following commands in an UART console and a SSH console:
cmd 1: while true;do dd if=/dev/mtd0 of=/dev/null;done
cmd 1: while true;do dd if=/dev/mmcblk0 of=/dev/null;done
The kernel log shows below:
-----------------------------------------------------------------
kernel BUG at lib/scatterlist.c:28!
Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000000

-----------------------------------------------------------------
1.3) Assume the two DMA operations is X (first) and Y (second).
The root cause of the bug:
Assume process P issues DMA X, and sleep on the completion
@this->dma_done. X's tasklet callback is dma_irq_callback. It firstly
wake up the process sleeping on the completion @this->dma_done,
and then trid to unmap the scatterlist S. The waked process P will
issue Y in another ARM core. Y initializes S->sg_magic to zero
with sg_init_one(), while dma_irq_callback is unmapping S at the same
time.
See the diagram:
ARM core 0 | ARM core 1
-------------------------------------------------------------
(P issues DMA X, then sleep) --> |
|
(X's tasklet wakes P) --> |
|
| <-- (P begin to issue DMA Y)
|
(X's tasklet unmap the |
scatterlist S with dma_unmap_sg) --> | <-- (Y calls sg_init_one() to init
| scatterlist S)
|
[2] This patch serialize both the X and Y in the following way:
Unmap the DMA scatterlist S firstly, and wake up the process at the end
of the DMA callback, in such a way, Y will be executed after X.
After this patch:
ARM core 0 | ARM core 1
-------------------------------------------------------------
(P issues DMA X, then sleep) --> |
|
(X's tasklet unmap the |
scatterlist S with dma_unmap_sg) --> |
|
(X's tasklet wakes P) --> |
|
| <-- (P begin to issue DMA Y)
|
| <-- (Y calls sg_init_one() to init
| scatterlist S)

All of the rtlwifi drivers have an error in the routine that tests if
the data is "special". If it is, the subsequant transmission will be
at the lowest rate to enhance reliability. The 16-bit quantity is
big-endian, but was being extracted in native CPU mode. One of the
effects of this bug is to inhibit association under some conditions
as the TX rate is too high.
Based on suggestions by Joe Perches, the entire routine is rewritten.
One of the local headers contained duplicates of some of the ETH_P_XXX
definitions. These are deleted.

Also, kmalloc of any of the arrays in efuse_word[] can also fail,

prandom fixes/improvements
====================
It would be great if you could still consider this series that fixes and
improves prandom for 3.13. We have sent it to netdev as prandom() originally
came from net/core/utils.c and networking is its main user. For a detailled
description, please see individual patches.
For patch 3 in this series, there will be a minor merge conflict with the
random tree that is for 3.13. See below how to resolve it.
====
Hannes says: on merge with the random tree I would suggest to resolve the
conflict in drivers/char/random.c like this:
if (r->entropy_total > 128) {
r->initialized = 1;
r->entropy_total = 0;
if (r == &nonblocking_pool) {
prandom_reseed_late();
pr_notice("random: %s pool is initialized\n",
r->name);
}
}
So it won't generate a warning if DEBUG_RANDOM_BOOT gets activated.
====
Patch 1 should probably also go to -stable.
Set tested on 32 and 64 bit machines.
Thanks a lot!

We generated a battery of 100 test cases from GSL taus113 implemention
and compare the results from a particular seed and a particular
iteration with our implementation in the kernel. We have verified on
32 and 64 bit machines that our taus113 kernel implementation gives
same results as GSL taus113 implementation:
[ 0.147370] prandom: seed boundary self test passed
[ 0.148078] prandom: 100 self tests passed
This is a Kconfig option that is disabled on default, just like the
crc32 init selftests in order to not unnecessary slow down boot process.
We also refactored out prandom_seed_very_weak() as it's now used in
multiple places in order to reduce redundant code.
GSL code we used for generating test cases:
int i, j;
srand(time(NULL));
for (i = 0; i < 100; ++i) {
int iteration = 500 + (rand() % 500);
gsl_rng_default_seed = rand() + 1;
gsl_rng *r = gsl_rng_alloc(gsl_rng_taus113);
printf("\t{ %lu, ", gsl_rng_default_seed);
for (j = 0; j < iteration - 1; ++j)
gsl_rng_get(r);
printf("%u, %lu },\n", iteration, gsl_rng_get(r));
gsl_rng_free(r);
}

Since we use prandom*() functions quite often in networking code
i.e. in UDP port selection, netfilter code, etc, upgrade the PRNG
from Pierre L'Ecuyer's original paper "Maximally Equidistributed
Combined Tausworthe Generators", Mathematics of Computation, 65,
213 (1996), 203--213 to the version published in his errata paper [1].
The Tausworthe generator is a maximally-equidistributed generator,
that is fast and has good statistical properties [1].
The version presented there upgrades the 3 state LFSR to a 4 state
LFSR with increased periodicity from about 2^88 to 2^113. The
algorithm is presented in [1] by the very same author who also
designed the original algorithm in [2].
Also, by increasing the state, we make it a bit harder for attackers
to "guess" the PRNGs internal state. See also discussion in [3].
Now, as we use this sort of weak initialization discussed in [3]
only between core_initcall() until late_initcall() time [*] for
prandom32*() users, namely in prandom_init(), it is less relevant
from late_initcall() onwards as we overwrite seeds through
prandom_reseed() anyways with a seed source of higher entropy, that
is, get_random_bytes(). In other words, a exhaustive keysearch of
96 bit would be needed. Now, with the help of this patch, this
state-search increases further to 128 bit. Initialization needs
to make sure that s1 > 1, s2 > 7, s3 > 15, s4 > 127.
taus88 and taus113 algorithm is also part of GSL. I added a test
case in the next patch to verify internal behaviour of this patch
with GSL and ran tests with the dieharder 3.31.1 RNG test suite:
$ dieharder -g 052 -a -m 10 -s 1 -S 4137730333 #taus88
$ dieharder -g 054 -a -m 10 -s 1 -S 4137730333 #taus113
With this seed configuration, in order to compare both, we get
the following differences:
algorithm taus88 taus113
rands/second [**] 1.61e+08 1.37e+08
sts_serial(4, 1st run) WEAK PASSED
sts_serial(9, 2nd run) WEAK PASSED
rgb_lagged_sum(31) WEAK PASSED
We took out diehard_sums test as according to the authors it is
considered broken and unusable [4]. Despite that and the slight
decrease in performance (which is acceptable), taus113 here passes
all 113 tests (only rgb_minimum_distance_5 in WEAK, the rest PASSED).
In general, taus/taus113 is considered "very good" by the authors
of dieharder [5].
The papers [1][2] states a single warm-up step is sufficient by
running quicktaus once on each state to ensure proper initialization
of ~s_{0}:
Our selection of (s) according to Table 1 of [1] row 1 holds the
condition L - k <= r - s, that is,
(32 32 32 32) - (31 29 28 25) <= (25 27 15 22) - (18 2 7 13)
with r = k - q and q = (6 2 13 3) as also stated by the paper.
So according to [2] we are safe with one round of quicktaus for
initialization. However we decided to include the warm-up phase
of the PRNG as done in GSL in every case as a safety net. We also
use the warm up phase to make the output of the RNG easier to
verify by the GSL output.
In prandom_init(), we also mix random_get_entropy() into it, just
like drivers/char/random.c does it, jiffies ^ random_get_entropy().
random-get_entropy() is get_cycles(). xor is entropy preserving so
it is fine if it is not implemented by some architectures.
Note, this PRNG is *not* used for cryptography in the kernel, but
rather as a fast PRNG for various randomizations i.e. in the
networking code, or elsewhere for debugging purposes, for example.
[*]: In order to generate some "sort of pseduo-randomness", since
get_random_bytes() is not yet available for us, we use jiffies and
initialize states s1 - s3 with a simple linear congruential generator
(LCG), that is x <- x * 69069; and derive s2, s3, from the 32bit
initialization from s1. So the above quote from [3] accounts only
for the time from core to late initcall, not afterwards.

struct rnd_state got mistakenly pulled into uapi header. It is not
used anywhere and does also not belong there!
Commit 5960164fde ("lib/random32: export pseudo-random number
generator for modules"), the last commit on rnd_state before it
got moved to uapi, says:
This patch moves the definition of struct rnd_state and the inline
__seed() function to linux/random.h. It renames the static __random32()
function to prandom32() and exports it for use in modules.
Hence, the structure was moved from lib/random32.c to linux/random.h
so that it can be used within modules (FCoE-related code in this
case), but not from user space. However, it seems to have been
mistakenly moved to uapi header through the uapi script. Since no-one
should make use of it from the linux headers, move the structure back
to the kernel for internal use, so that it can be modified on demand.

initialized
The Tausworthe PRNG is initialized at late_initcall time. At that time the
entropy pool serving get_random_bytes is not filled sufficiently. This
patch adds an additional reseeding step as soon as the nonblocking pool
gets marked as initialized.
On some machines it might be possible that late_initcall gets called after
the pool has been initialized. In this situation we won't reseed again.
(A call to prandom_seed_late blocks later invocations of early reseed
attempts.)

The current Tausworthe PRNG is never reseeded with truly random data after
the first attempt in late_initcall. As this PRNG is used for some critical
random data as e.g. UDP port randomization we should try better and reseed
the PRNG once in a while with truly random data from get_random_bytes().
When we reseed with prandom_seed we now make also sure to throw the first
output away. This suffices the reseeding procedure.
The delay calculation is based on a proposal from Eric Dumazet.

For properly initialising the Tausworthe generator [1], we have
a strict seeding requirement, that is, s1 > 1, s2 > 7, s3 > 15.
Commit 697f8d0348 ("random32: seeding improvement") introduced
a __seed() function that imposes boundary checks proposed by the
errata paper [2] to properly ensure above conditions.
However, we're off by one, as the function is implemented as:
"return (x < m) ? x + m : x;", and called with __seed(X, 1),
__seed(X, 7), __seed(X, 15). Thus, an unwanted seed of 1, 7, 15
would be possible, whereas the lower boundary should actually
be of at least 2, 8, 16, just as GSL does. Fix this, as otherwise
an initialization with an unwanted seed could have the effect
that Tausworthe's PRNG properties cannot not be ensured.
Note that this PRNG is *not* used for cryptography in the kernel.
