Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.

Since event_sched_out() clears cpuctx->exclusive upon removal of an
exclusive event (and only group leaders can be exclusive), there is no
point in group_sched_out() trying to do it too. It is impossible for
cpuctx->exclusive to still be set here.

Having pt_regs on-stack is unfortunate, it's 168 bytes. Since it isn't
actually used, make it a static variable. This both gets if off the
stack and ensures it gets 0 initialized, just in case someone does
look at it.

struct perf_sample_data lives on-stack, we should be careful about it's
size. Furthermore, the pt_regs copy in there is only because x86_64 is a
trainwreck, solve it differently.

intel_pmu_drain_pebs_*() is typically called from handle_pmi_common(),
both have an on-stack struct perf_sample_data, which is *big*. Rewire
things so that drain_pebs() can use the one handle_pmi_common() has.

__perf_output_begin() has an on-stack struct perf_sample_data in the
unlikely case it needs to generate a LOST record. However, every call
to perf_output_begin() must already have a perf_sample_data on-stack.

As shown through runtime testing, the "filename" allocation is not
always freed in perf_event_parse_addr_filter().
There are three possible ways that this could happen:
- It could be allocated twice on subsequent iterations through the loop,
- or leaked on the success path,
- or on the failure path.
Clean up the code flow to make it obvious that 'filename' is always
freed in the reallocation path and in the two return paths as well.
We rely on the fact that kfree(NULL) is NOP and filename is initialized
with NULL.
This fixes the leak. No other side effects expected.

Some messages sent by the MDS entail a session sequence number
increment, and the MDS will drop certain types of requests on the floor
when the sequence numbers don't match.
In particular, a REQUEST_CLOSE message can cross with one of the
sequence morphing messages from the MDS which can cause the client to
stall, waiting for a response that will never come.
Originally, this meant an up to 5s delay before the recurring workqueue
job kicked in and resent the request, but a recent change made it so
that the client would never resend, causing a 60s stall unmounting and
sometimes a blockisting event.
Add a new helper for incrementing the session sequence and then testing
to see whether a REQUEST_CLOSE needs to be resent, and move the handling
of CEPH_MDS_SESSION_CLOSING into that function. Change all of the
bare sequence counter increments to use the new helper.
Reorganize check_session_state with a switch statement. It should no
longer be called when the session is CLOSING, so throw a warning if it
ever is (but still handle that case sanely).
