Linus Torvalds 16c00db4bb Merge tag 'afs-fixes-20180514' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dhowells/linux-fs
Pull AFS fixes from David Howells:
 "Here's a set of patches that fix a number of bugs in the in-kernel AFS
  client, including:

   - Fix directory locking to not use individual page locks for
     directory reading/scanning but rather to use a semaphore on the
     afs_vnode struct as the directory contents must be read in a single
     blob and data from different reads must not be mixed as the entire
     contents may be shuffled about between reads.

   - Fix address list parsing to handle port specifiers correctly.

   - Only give up callback records on a server if we actually talked to
     that server (we might not be able to access a server).

   - Fix some callback handling bugs, including refcounting,
     whole-volume callbacks and when callbacks actually get broken in
     response to a CB.CallBack op.

   - Fix some server/address rotation bugs, including giving up if we
     can't probe a server; giving up if a server says it doesn't have a
     volume, but there are more servers to try.

   - Fix the decoding of fetched statuses to be OpenAFS compatible.

   - Fix the handling of server lookups in Cache Manager ops (such as
     CB.InitCallBackState3) to use a UUID if possible and to handle no
     server being found.

   - Fix a bug in server lookup where not all addresses are compared.

   - Fix the non-encryption of calls that prevents some servers from
     being accessed (this also requires an AF_RXRPC patch that has
     already gone in through the net tree).

  There's also a patch that adds tracepoints to log Cache Manager ops
  that don't find a matching server, either by UUID or by address"

perf-timechart(1)
=================
NAME
----
perf-timechart - Tool to visualize total system behavior during a workload
SYNOPSIS
--------
[verse]
'perf timechart' [<timechart options>] {record} [<record options>]
DESCRIPTION
-----------
There are two variants of perf timechart:
'perf timechart record <command>' to record the system level events
of an arbitrary workload. By default timechart records only scheduler
and CPU events (task switches, running times, CPU power states, etc),
but it's possible to record IO (disk, network) activity using -I argument.
'perf timechart' to turn a trace into a Scalable Vector Graphics file,
that can be viewed with popular SVG viewers such as 'Inkscape'. Depending
on the events in the perf.data file, timechart will contain scheduler/cpu
events or IO events.
In IO mode, every bar has two charts: upper and lower.
Upper bar shows incoming events (disk reads, ingress network packets).
Lower bar shows outgoing events (disk writes, egress network packets).
There are also poll bars which show how much time application spent
in poll/epoll/select syscalls.
TIMECHART OPTIONS
-----------------
-o::
--output=::
Select the output file (default: output.svg)
-i::
--input=::
Select the input file (default: perf.data unless stdin is a fifo)
-w::
--width=::
Select the width of the SVG file (default: 1000)
-P::
--power-only::
Only output the CPU power section of the diagram
-T::
--tasks-only::
Don't output processor state transitions
-p::
--process::
Select the processes to display, by name or PID
-f::
--force::
Don't complain, do it.
--symfs=<directory>::
Look for files with symbols relative to this directory.
-n::
--proc-num::
Print task info for at least given number of tasks.
-t::
--topology::
Sort CPUs according to topology.
--highlight=<duration_nsecs|task_name>::
Highlight tasks (using different color) that run more than given
duration or tasks with given name. If number is given it's interpreted
as number of nanoseconds. If non-numeric string is given it's
interpreted as task name.
--io-skip-eagain::
Don't draw EAGAIN IO events.
--io-min-time=<nsecs>::
Draw small events as if they lasted min-time. Useful when you need
to see very small and fast IO. It's possible to specify ms or us
suffix to specify time in milliseconds or microseconds.
Default value is 1ms.
--io-merge-dist=<nsecs>::
Merge events that are merge-dist nanoseconds apart.
Reduces number of figures on the SVG and makes it more render-friendly.
It's possible to specify ms or us suffix to specify time in
milliseconds or microseconds.
Default value is 1us.
RECORD OPTIONS
--------------
-P::
--power-only::
Record only power-related events
-T::
--tasks-only::
Record only tasks-related events
-I::
--io-only::
Record only io-related events
-g::
--callchain::
Do call-graph (stack chain/backtrace) recording
EXAMPLES
--------
$ perf timechart record git pull
[ perf record: Woken up 13 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 4.253 MB perf.data (~185801 samples) ]
$ perf timechart
Written 10.2 seconds of trace to output.svg.
Record system-wide timechart:
$ perf timechart record
then generate timechart and highlight 'gcc' tasks:
$ perf timechart --highlight gcc
Record system-wide IO events:
$ perf timechart record -I
then generate timechart:
$ perf timechart
