      perf top: Fix TUI exit screen refresh race condition · 64f18d2d
      yaowenbin authored 
      

When the following command is executed several times, a coredump file is
generated.

	$ timeout -k 9 5 perf top -e task-clock
	*******
	*******
	*******
	0.01%  [kernel]                  [k] __do_softirq
	0.01%  libpthread-2.28.so        [.] __pthread_mutex_lock
	0.01%  [kernel]                  [k] __ll_sc_atomic64_sub_return
	double free or corruption (!prev) perf top --sort comm,dso
	timeout: the monitored command dumped core

When we terminate "perf top" using sending signal method,
SLsmg_reset_smg() called. SLsmg_reset_smg() resets the SLsmg screen
management routines by freeing all memory allocated while it was active.

However SLsmg_reinit_smg() maybe be called by another thread.

SLsmg_reinit_smg() will free the same memory accessed by
SLsmg_reset_smg(), thus it results in a double free.

SLsmg_reinit_smg() is called already protected by ui__lock, so we fix
the problem by adding pthread_mutex_trylock of ui__lock when calling
SLsmg_reset_smg().

      perf pmu: Fix alias events list · e0257a01
      John Garry authored 
      Commit 0e0ae874 ("perf list: Display hybrid PMU events with cpu
type") changes the event list for uncore PMUs or arm64 heterogeneous CPU
systems, such that duplicate aliases are incorrectly listed per PMU
(which they should not be), like:

  # perf list
  ...
  unc_cbo_cache_lookup.any_es
  [Unit: uncore_cbox L3 Lookup any request that access cache and found
  line in E or S-state]
  unc_cbo_cache_lookup.any_es
  [Unit: uncore_cbox L3 Lookup any request that access cache and found
  line in E or S-state]
  unc_cbo_cache_lookup.any_i
  [Unit: uncore_cbox L3 Lookup any request that access cache and found
  line in I-state]
  unc_cbo_cache_lookup.any_i
  [Unit: uncore_cbox L3 Lookup any request that access cache and found
  line in I-state]
  ...

Notice how the events are listed twice.

The named commit changed how we remove duplicate events, in that events
for different PMUs are not treated as duplicates. I suppose this is to
handle how "Each hybrid pmu event has been assigned with a pmu name".

Fix PMU alias listing by restoring behaviour to remove duplicates for
non-hybrid PMUs.

Fixes: 0e0ae874

      mm: vmscan: reduce throttling due to a failure to make progress -fix · 80082938
      Mel Gorman authored 
      Hugh Dickins reported the following

	My tmpfs swapping load (tweaked to use huge pages more heavily
	than in real life) is far from being a realistic load: but it was
	notably slowed down by your throttling mods in 5.16-rc, and this
	patch makes it well again - thanks.

	But: it very quickly hit NULL pointer until I changed that last
	line to

        if (first_pgdat)
                consider_reclaim_throttle(first_pgdat, sc);

The likely issue is that huge pages are a major component of the test
workload.  When this is the case, first_pgdat may never get set if
compaction is ready to continue due to this check

        if (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_COMPACTION) &&
            sc->order > PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER &&
            compaction_ready(zone, sc)) {
                sc->compaction_ready = true;
                continue;
        }

If this was true for every zone in the zonelist, first_pgdat would never
get set resulting in a NULL pointer exception.
