perf parse-events: Tidy name token matching
Prior to commit 70c90e4a6b2f ("perf parse-events: Avoid scanning PMUs
before parsing") names (generally event names) excluded hyphen (minus)
symbols as the formation of legacy names with hyphens was handled in
the yacc code. That commit allowed hyphens supposedly making
name_minus unnecessary. However, changing name_minus to name has
issues in the term config tokens as then name ends up having priority
over numbers and name allows matching numbers since commit 5ceb57990bf4 ("perf parse: Allow tracepoint names to start with digits
"). It is also permissable for a name to match with a colon (':') in
it when its in a config term list. To address this rename name_minus
to term_name, make the pattern match name's except for the colon, add
number matching into the config term region with a higher priority
than name matching. This addresses an inconsistency and allows greater
matching for names inside of term lists, for example, they may start
with a number.
Rename name_tag to quoted_name and update comments and helper
functions to avoid str detecting quoted strings which was already done
by the lexer.

perf tools: Improve startup time by reducing unnecessary stat() calls
When testing perf trace on NixOS, I noticed significant startup delays:
- `ls`: ~2ms
- `strace ls`: ~10ms
- `perf trace ls`: ~550ms
Profiling showed that 51% of the time is spent reading files,
26% in loading BPF programs, and 11% in `newfstatat`.
This patch optimizes module path exploration by avoiding `stat()` calls
unless necessary. For filesystems that do not implement `d_type`
(DT_UNKNOWN), it falls back to the old behavior.
See `readdir(3)` for details.
This reduces `perf trace ls` time to ~500ms.
A more thorough startup optimization based on command parameters would
be ideal, but that is a larger effort.

perf pmu: Rename name matching for no suffix or wildcard variants
Wildcard PMU naming will match a name like pmu_1 to a PMU name like
pmu_10 but not to a PMU name like pmu_2 as the suffix forms part of
the match. No suffix matching will match pmu_10 to either pmu_1 or
pmu_2. Add or rename matching functions on PMU to make it clearer what
kind of matching is being performed.

perf pmus: Restructure pmu_read_sysfs to scan fewer PMUs
Rather than scanning core or all PMUs, allow pmu_read_sysfs to read
some combination of core, other, hwmon and tool PMUs. The PMUs that
should be read and are already read are held as bitmaps. It is known
that a "hwmon_" prefix is necessary for a hwmon PMU's name, similarly
with "tool", so only scan those PMUs in situations the PMU name or the
PMU's type number make sense to.
The number of openat system calls reduces from 276 to 98 for a hwmon
event. The number of openats for regular perf events isn't changed.

perf script: force stdin for flamegraph in live mode
Currently, running "perf script flamegraph -a -F 99 sleep 1" should
produce flamegraph.html containing the flamegraph. Howevever, it gives a

This is caused because the flamegraph.py script is
supposed to take as input the output of "perf record", which should be
in stdin. This would require passing "-i -" to flamegraph.py. However,
the "flamegraph-report" script causes "perf script" command to take the
"-i -" option instead of flamegraph.py, which causes no problem for
"perf script", but causes a seg fault since flamegraph.py has no input
file. To fix this I added the "-i -" option directly to the
flamegraph-report script to ensure flamegraph.py gets input from stdin.

mm/hugetlb: fix hugepage allocation for interleaved memory nodes
gather_bootmem_prealloc() assumes the start nid as 0 and size as

nodes are interleaved, then gather_bootmem_prealloc_parallel() will fail
to scan few of these nodes.
Since memory attached numa nodes can be interleaved in any fashion, hence

it can distributes all nr_node_ids among the these many no. threads.

mm: compaction: use the proper flag to determine watermarks
There are 4 NUMA nodes on my machine, and each NUMA node has 32GB of
memory. I have configured 16GB of CMA memory on each NUMA node, and
starting a 32GB virtual machine with device passthrough is extremely slow,
taking almost an hour.
Long term GUP cannot allocate memory from CMA area, so a maximum of 16 GB
of no-CMA memory on a NUMA node can be used as virtual machine memory.
There is 16GB of free CMA memory on a NUMA node, which is sufficient to
pass the order-0 watermark check, causing the __compaction_suitable()
function to consistently return true.
For costly allocations, if the __compaction_suitable() function always
returns true, it causes the __alloc_pages_slowpath() function to fail to
exit at the appropriate point. This prevents timely fallback to
allocating memory on other nodes, ultimately resulting in excessively long
virtual machine startup times.

compact_result == COMPACT_DEFERRED)
goto nopage; // should exit __alloc_pages_slowpath() from here
We could use the real unmovable allocation context to have
__zone_watermark_unusable_free() subtract CMA pages, and thus we won't
pass the order-0 check anymore once the non-CMA part is exhausted. There
is some risk that in some different scenario the compaction could in fact
migrate pages from the exhausted non-CMA part of the zone to the CMA part
and succeed, and we'll skip it instead. But only __GFP_NORETRY
allocations should be affected in the immediate "goto nopage" when
compaction is skipped, others will attempt with DEF_COMPACT_PRIORITY
anyway and won't fail without trying to compact-migrate the non-CMA
pageblocks into CMA pageblocks first, so it should be fine.
After this fix, it only takes a few tens of seconds to start a 32GB
virtual machine with device passthrough functionality.

kernel: be more careful about dup_mmap() failures and uprobe registering
If a memory allocation fails during dup_mmap(), the maple tree can be left
in an unsafe state for other iterators besides the exit path. All the
locks are dropped before the exit_mmap() call (in mm/mmap.c), but the
incomplete mm_struct can be reached through (at least) the rmap finding
the vmas which have a pointer back to the mm_struct.
Up to this point, there have been no issues with being able to find an
mm_struct that was only partially initialised. Syzbot was able to make
the incomplete mm_struct fail with recent forking changes, so it has been
proven unsafe to use the mm_struct that hasn't been initialised, as
referenced in the link below.
Although 8ac662f5da19f ("fork: avoid inappropriate uprobe access to
invalid mm") fixed the uprobe access, it does not completely remove the
race.
This patch sets the MMF_OOM_SKIP to avoid the iteration of the vmas on the
oom side (even though this is extremely unlikely to be selected as an oom
victim in the race window), and sets MMF_UNSTABLE to avoid other potential
users from using a partially initialised mm_struct.
When registering vmas for uprobe, skip the vmas in an mm that is marked
unstable. Modifying a vma in an unstable mm may cause issues if the mm
isn't fully initialised.

mm: kmemleak: fix upper boundary check for physical address objects
Memblock allocations are registered by kmemleak separately, based on their
physical address. During the scanning stage, it checks whether an object
is within the min_low_pfn and max_low_pfn boundaries and ignores it
otherwise.
With the recent addition of __percpu pointer leak detection (commit 6c99d4eb7c5e ("kmemleak: enable tracking for percpu pointers")), kmemleak
started reporting leaks in setup_zone_pageset() and
setup_per_cpu_pageset(). These were caused by the node_data[0] object
(initialised in alloc_node_data()) ending on the PFN_PHYS(max_low_pfn)
boundary. The non-strict upper boundary check introduced by commit 84c326299191 ("mm: kmemleak: check physical address when scan") causes the
pg_data_t object to be ignored (not scanned) and the __percpu pointers it
contains to be reported as leaks.
Make the max_low_pfn upper boundary check strict when deciding whether to
ignore a physical address object and not scan it.

Scenario:
User processe are requesting a large amount of memory and keep page active.
Then a module continuously requests memory from ZONE_DMA32 area.
Memory reclaim will be triggered due to ZONE_DMA32 watermark alarm reached.
However pages in the LRU(active_anon) list are mostly from
the ZONE_NORMAL area.
About the Fixes:
Why did it take eight years to be discovered?
The problem requires the following conditions to occur:
1. The device memory should be large enough.
2. Pages in the LRU(active_anon) list are mostly from the ZONE_NORMAL area.
3. The memory in ZONE_DMA32 needs to reach the watermark.
If the memory is not large enough, or if the usage design of ZONE_DMA32
area memory is reasonable, this problem is difficult to detect.
notes:
The problem is most likely to occur in ZONE_DMA32 and ZONE_NORMAL,
but other suitable scenarios may also trigger the problem.
