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-buildid-cache(1)
=====================
NAME
----
perf-buildid-cache - Manage build-id cache.
SYNOPSIS
--------
[verse]
'perf buildid-cache <options>'
DESCRIPTION
-----------
This command manages the build-id cache. It can add, remove, update and purge
files to/from the cache. In the future it should as well set upper limits for
the space used by the cache, etc.
This also scans the target binary for SDT (Statically Defined Tracing) and
record it along with the buildid-cache, which will be used by perf-probe.
For more details, see linkperf:perf-probe[1].
OPTIONS
-------
-a::
--add=::
Add specified file to the cache.
-f::
--force::
Don't complain, do it.
-k::
--kcore::
Add specified kcore file to the cache. For the current host that is
/proc/kcore which requires root permissions to read. Be aware that
running 'perf buildid-cache' as root may update root's build-id cache
not the user's. Use the -v option to see where the file is created.
Note that the copied file contains only code sections not the whole core
image. Note also that files "kallsyms" and "modules" must also be in the
same directory and are also copied. All 3 files are created with read
permissions for root only. kcore will not be added if there is already a
kcore in the cache (with the same build-id) that has the same modules at
the same addresses. Use the -v option to see if a copy of kcore is
actually made.
-r::
--remove=::
Remove a cached binary which has same build-id of specified file
from the cache.
-p::
--purge=::
Purge all cached binaries including older caches which have specified
path from the cache.
-M::
--missing=::
List missing build ids in the cache for the specified file.
-u::
--update=::
Update specified file of the cache. Note that this doesn't remove
older entires since those may be still needed for annotating old
(or remote) perf.data. Only if there is already a cache which has
exactly same build-id, that is replaced by new one. It can be used
to update kallsyms and kernel dso to vmlinux in order to support
annotation.
-v::
--verbose::
Be more verbose.
--target-ns=PID:
Obtain mount namespace information from the target pid. This is
used when creating a uprobe for a process that resides in a
different mount namespace from the perf(1) utility.
