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-kmem(1)
============
NAME
----
perf-kmem - Tool to trace/measure kernel memory properties
SYNOPSIS
--------
[verse]
'perf kmem' {record|stat} [<options>]
DESCRIPTION
-----------
There are two variants of perf kmem:
'perf kmem record <command>' to record the kmem events
of an arbitrary workload.
'perf kmem stat' to report kernel memory statistics.
OPTIONS
-------
-i <file>::
--input=<file>::
Select the input file (default: perf.data unless stdin is a fifo)
-f::
--force::
Don't do ownership validation
-v::
--verbose::
Be more verbose. (show symbol address, etc)
--caller::
Show per-callsite statistics
--alloc::
Show per-allocation statistics
-s <key[,key2...]>::
--sort=<key[,key2...]>::
Sort the output (default: 'frag,hit,bytes' for slab and 'bytes,hit'
for page). Available sort keys are 'ptr, callsite, bytes, hit,
pingpong, frag' for slab and 'page, callsite, bytes, hit, order,
migtype, gfp' for page. This option should be preceded by one of the
mode selection options - i.e. --slab, --page, --alloc and/or --caller.
-l <num>::
--line=<num>::
Print n lines only
--raw-ip::
Print raw ip instead of symbol
--slab::
Analyze SLAB allocator events.
--page::
Analyze page allocator events
--live::
Show live page stat. The perf kmem shows total allocation stat by
default, but this option shows live (currently allocated) pages
instead. (This option works with --page option only)
--time=<start>,<stop>::
Only analyze samples within given time window: <start>,<stop>. Times
have the format seconds.microseconds. If start is not given (i.e., time
string is ',x.y') then analysis starts at the beginning of the file. If
stop time is not given (i.e, time string is 'x.y,') then analysis goes
to end of file.
