This time we have some more new material than we used to have during
the last couple of development cycles.
The most important part of it to me is the introduction of a unified
interface for accessing device properties provided by platform
firmware. It works with Device Trees and ACPI in a uniform way and
drivers using it need not worry about where the properties come
from as long as the platform firmware (either DT or ACPI) makes
them available. It covers both devices and "bare" device node
objects without struct device representation as that turns out to
be necessary in some cases. This has been in the works for quite
a few months (and development cycles) and has been approved by
all of the relevant maintainers.
On top of that, some drivers are switched over to the new interface
(at25, leds-gpio, gpio_keys_polled) and some additional changes are
made to the core GPIO subsystem to allow device drivers to manipulate
GPIOs in the "canonical" way on platforms that provide GPIO information
in their ACPI tables, but don't assign names to GPIO lines (in which
case the driver needs to do that on the basis of what it knows about
the device in question). That also has been approved by the GPIO
core maintainers and the rfkill driver is now going to use it.
Second is support for hardware P-states in the intel_pstate driver.
It uses CPUID to detect whether or not the feature is supported by
the processor in which case it will be enabled by default. However,
it can be disabled entirely from the kernel command line if necessary.
Next is support for a platform firmware interface based on ACPI
operation regions used by the PMIC (Power Management Integrated
Circuit) chips on the Intel Baytrail-T and Baytrail-T-CR platforms.
That interface is used for manipulating power resources and for
thermal management: sensor temperature reporting, trip point setting
and so on.
Also the ACPI core is now going to support the _DEP configuration
information in a limited way. Basically, _DEP it supposed to reflect
off-the-hierarchy dependencies between devices which may be very
indirect, like when AML for one device accesses locations in an
operation region handled by another device's driver (usually, the
device depended on this way is a serial bus or GPIO controller).
The support added this time is sufficient to make the ACPI battery
driver work on Asus T100A, but it is general enough to be able to
cover some other use cases in the future.
Finally, we have a new cpufreq driver for the Loongson1B processor.
In addition to the above, there are fixes and cleanups all over the
place as usual and a traditional ACPICA update to a recent upstream
release.
As far as the fixes go, the ACPI LPSS (Low-power Subsystem) driver
for Intel platforms should be able to handle power management of
the DMA engine correctly, the cpufreq-dt driver should interact
with the thermal subsystem in a better way and the ACPI backlight
driver should handle some more corner cases, among other things.
On top of the ACPICA update there are fixes for race conditions
in the ACPICA's interrupt handling code which might lead to some
random and strange looking failures on some systems.
In the cleanups department the most visible part is the series
of commits targeted at getting rid of the CONFIG_PM_RUNTIME
configuration option. That was triggered by a discussion
regarding the generic power domains code during which we realized
that trying to support certain combinations of PM config options
was painful and not really worth it, because nobody would use them
in production anyway. For this reason, we decided to make
CONFIG_PM_SLEEP select CONFIG_PM_RUNTIME and that lead to the
conclusion that the latter became redundant and CONFIG_PM could
be used instead of it. The material here makes that replacement
in a major part of the tree, but there will be at least one more
batch of that in the second part of the merge window.
Specifics:
- Support for retrieving device properties information from ACPI
_DSD device configuration objects and a unified device properties
interface for device drivers (and subsystems) on top of that.
As stated above, this works with Device Trees and ACPI and allows
device drivers to be written in a platform firmware (DT or ACPI)
agnostic way. The at25, leds-gpio and gpio_keys_polled drivers
are now going to use this new interface and the GPIO subsystem
is additionally modified to allow device drivers to assign names
to GPIO resources returned by ACPI _CRS objects (in case _DSD is
not present or does not provide the expected data). The changes
in this set are mostly from Mika Westerberg, Rafael J Wysocki,
Aaron Lu, and Darren Hart with some fixes from others (Fabio Estevam,
Geert Uytterhoeven).
- Support for Hardware Managed Performance States (HWP) as described
in Volume 3, section 14.4, of the Intel SDM in the intel_pstate
driver. CPUID is used to detect whether or not the feature is
supported by the processor. If supported, it will be enabled
automatically unless the intel_pstate=no_hwp switch is present in
the kernel command line. From Dirk Brandewie.
- New Intel Broadwell-H ID for intel_pstate (Dirk Brandewie).
- Support for firmware interface based on ACPI operation regions
used by the PMIC chips on the Intel Baytrail-T and Baytrail-T-CR
platforms for power resource control and thermal management
(Aaron Lu).
- Limited support for retrieving off-the-hierarchy dependencies
between devices from ACPI _DEP device configuration objects
and deferred probing support for the ACPI battery driver based
on the _DEP information to make that driver work on Asus T100A
(Lan Tianyu).
- New cpufreq driver for the Loongson1B processor (Kelvin Cheung).
- ACPICA update to upstream revision 20141107 which only affects
tools (Bob Moore).
- Fixes for race conditions in the ACPICA's interrupt handling
code and in the ACPI code related to system suspend and resume
(Lv Zheng and Rafael J Wysocki).
- ACPI core fix for an RCU-related issue in the ioremap() regions
management code that slowed down significantly after CPUs had
been allowed to enter idle states even if they'd had RCU callbakcs
queued and triggered some problems in certain proprietary graphics
driver (and elsewhere). The fix replaces synchronize_rcu() in
that code with synchronize_rcu_expedited() which makes the issue
go away. From Konstantin Khlebnikov.
- ACPI LPSS (Low-Power Subsystem) driver fix to handle power
management of the DMA engine included into the LPSS correctly.
The problem is that the DMA engine doesn't have ACPI PM support
of its own and it simply is turned off when the last LPSS device
having ACPI PM support goes into D3cold. To work around that,
the PM domain used by the ACPI LPSS driver is redesigned so at
least one device with ACPI PM support will be on as long as the
DMA engine is in use. From Andy Shevchenko.
- ACPI backlight driver fix to avoid using it on "Win8-compatible"
systems where it doesn't work and where it was used by default by
mistake (Aaron Lu).
- Assorted minor ACPI core fixes and cleanups from Tomasz Nowicki,
Sudeep Holla, Huang Rui, Hanjun Guo, Fabian Frederick, and
Ashwin Chaugule (mostly related to the upcoming ARM64 support).
- Intel RAPL (Running Average Power Limit) power capping driver
fixes and improvements including new processor IDs (Jacob Pan).
- Generic power domains modification to power up domains after
attaching devices to them to meet the expectations of device
drivers and bus types assuming devices to be accessible at
probe time (Ulf Hansson).
- Preliminary support for controlling device clocks from the
generic power domains core code and modifications of the
ARM/shmobile platform to use that feature (Ulf Hansson).
- Assorted minor fixes and cleanups of the generic power
domains core code (Ulf Hansson, Geert Uytterhoeven).
- Assorted minor fixes and cleanups of the device clocks control
code in the PM core (Geert Uytterhoeven, Grygorii Strashko).
- Consolidation of device power management Kconfig options by making
CONFIG_PM_SLEEP select CONFIG_PM_RUNTIME and removing the latter
which is now redundant (Rafael J Wysocki and Kevin Hilman). That
is the first batch of the changes needed for this purpose.
- Core device runtime power management support code cleanup related
to the execution of callbacks (Andrzej Hajda).
- cpuidle ARM support improvements (Lorenzo Pieralisi).
- cpuidle cleanup related to the CPUIDLE_FLAG_TIME_VALID flag and
a new MAINTAINERS entry for ARM Exynos cpuidle (Daniel Lezcano and
Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz).
- New cpufreq driver callback (->ready) to be executed when the
cpufreq core is ready to use a given policy object and cpufreq-dt
driver modification to use that callback for cooling device
registration (Viresh Kumar).
- cpufreq core fixes and cleanups (Viresh Kumar, Vince Hsu,
James Geboski, Tomeu Vizoso).
- Assorted fixes and cleanups in the cpufreq-pcc, intel_pstate,
cpufreq-dt, pxa2xx cpufreq drivers (Lenny Szubowicz, Ethan Zhao,
Stefan Wahren, Petr Cvek).
- OPP (Operating Performance Points) framework modification to
allow OPPs to be removed too and update of a few cpufreq drivers
(cpufreq-dt, exynos5440, imx6q, cpufreq) to remove OPPs (added
during initialization) on driver removal (Viresh Kumar).
- Hibernation core fixes and cleanups (Tina Ruchandani and
Markus Elfring).
- PM Kconfig fix related to CPU power management (Pankaj Dubey).
- cpupower tool fix (Prarit Bhargava).

clean ups from that branch.
This code solves the issue of performing stack dumps from NMI context.
The issue is that printk() is not safe from NMI context as if the NMI
were to trigger when a printk() was being performed, the NMI could
deadlock from the printk() internal locks. This has been seen in practice.
With lots of review from Petr Mladek, this code went through several
iterations, and we feel that it is now at a point of quality to be
accepted into mainline.
Here's what is contained in this patch set:
o Creates a "seq_buf" generic buffer utility that allows a descriptor
to be passed around where functions can write their own "printk()"
formatted strings into it. The generic version was pulled out of
the trace_seq() code that was made specifically for tracing.
o The seq_buf code was change to model the seq_file code. I have
a patch (not included for 3.19) that converts the seq_file.c code
over to use seq_buf.c like the trace_seq.c code does. This was done
to make sure that seq_buf.c is compatible with seq_file.c. I may
try to get that patch in for 3.20.
o The seq_buf.c file was moved to lib/ to remove it from being dependent
on CONFIG_TRACING.
o The printk() was updated to allow for a per_cpu "override" of
the internal calls. That is, instead of writing to the console, a call
to printk() may do something else. This made it easier to allow the
NMI to change what printk() does in order to call dump_stack() without
needing to update that code as well.
o Finally, the dump_stack from all CPUs via NMI code was converted to
use the seq_buf code. The caller to trigger the NMI code would wait
till all the NMIs finished, and then it would print the seq_buf
data to the console safely from a non NMI context.

PREEMPT_RT, printk() only writes to console if the console does not
use any rt_mutex converted spin locks. Which a lot do"

the buffer filled up or not. This is similar to work being done to the
seq_file code as well in another tree.
Some of the other goodies include:
o Added some "!" (NOT) logic to the tracing filter.
o Fixed the frame pointer logic to the x86_64 mcount trampolines
o Added the logic for dynamic trampolines on !CONFIG_PREEMPT systems.
That is, the ftrace trampoline can be dynamically allocated
and be called directly by functions that only have a single hook
to them.

the buffer filled up or not. This is similar to work being done to
the seq_file code as well in another tree.
Some of the other goodies include:
- Added some "!" (NOT) logic to the tracing filter.
- Fixed the frame pointer logic to the x86_64 mcount trampolines
- Added the logic for dynamic trampolines on !CONFIG_PREEMPT systems.
That is, the ftrace trampoline can be dynamically allocated and be

The comments in zap_pid_ns_processes() are not clear, we need to explain
how this code actually works.
1. "Ignore SIGCHLD" looks like optimization but it is not, we also
need this for correctness.
2. The comment above sys_wait4() could tell more.
EXIT_ZOMBIE child is only possible if it has exited before we
ignored SIGCHLD. Or if it is traced from the parent namespace,
but in this case it will be reaped by debugger after detach,
sys_wait4() acts as a synchronization point.
3. The comment about TASK_DEAD (EXIT_DEAD in fact) children is
outdated. Contrary to what it says we do not need to make sure
they all go away after 0a01f2cc39 "pidns: Make the pidns proc
mount/umount logic obvious".
At the same time, we do need to wait for nr_hashed==init_pids,
but the reasons are quite different and not obvious: setns().

alloc_pid() does get_pid_ns() beforehand but forgets to put_pid_ns() if it
fails because disable_pid_allocation() was called by the exiting
child_reaper.
We could simply move get_pid_ns() down to successful return, but this fix
tries to be as trivial as possible.

Shift "release dead children" loop from forget_original_parent() to its
caller, exit_notify(). It is safe to reap them even if our parent reaps
us right after we drop tasklist_lock, those children no longer have any
connection to the exiting task.
And this allows us to avoid write_lock_irq(tasklist_lock) right after it
was released by forget_original_parent(), we can simply call it with
tasklist_lock held.
While at it, move the comment about forget_original_parent() up to
this function.

Now that pid_ns logic was isolated we can change forget_original_parent()
to return right after find_child_reaper() when father->children is empty,
there is nothing to reparent in this case.
In particular this avoids find_alive_thread() and this can help if the
whole process exits and it has a lot of PF_EXITING threads at the start of
the thread list, this can easily lead to O(nr_threads ** 2) iterations.

find_new_reaper() does 2 completely different things. Not only it finds a
reaper, it also updates pid_ns->child_reaper or kills the whole namespace
if the caller is ->child_reaper.
Now that has_child_subreaper logic doesn't depend on child_reaper check we
can move that pid_ns code into a separate helper. IMHO this makes the
code more clean, and this allows the next changes.

Change find_new_reaper() to use for_each_thread() instead of deprecated
while_each_thread(). We do not bother to check "thread != father" in the
1st loop, we can rely on PF_EXITING check.
Note: this means the minor behavioural change: for_each_thread() starts
from the group leader. But this should be fine, nobody should make any
assumption about do_wait(__WNOTHREAD) when it comes to reparented tasks.
And this can avoid the pointless reparenting to a short-living thread
While zombie leaders are not that common.

find_new_reaper() assumes that "has_child_subreaper" logic is safe as
long as we are not the exiting ->child_reaper and this is doubly wrong:
1. In fact it is safe if "pid_ns->child_reaper == father"; there must
be no children after zap_pid_ns_processes() returns, so it doesn't
matter what we return in this case and even pid_ns->child_reaper is
wrong otherwise: we can't reparent to ->child_reaper == current.
This is not a bug, but this is confusing.
2. It is not safe if we are not pid_ns->child_reaper but from the same
thread group. We drop tasklist_lock before zap_pid_ns_processes(),
so another thread can lock it and choose the new reaper from the
upper namespace if has_child_subreaper == T, and this is obviously
wrong.
This is not that bad, zap_pid_ns_processes() won't return until the
the new reaper reaps all zombies, but this should be fixed anyway.
We could change for_each_thread() loop to use ->exit_state instead of
PF_EXITING which we had to use until 8aac62706a, or we could change
copy_signal() to check CLONE_NEWPID before setting has_child_subreaper,
but lets change this code so that it is clear we can't look outside of
our namespace, otherwise same_thread_group(reaper, child_reaper) check
will look wrong and confusing anyway.
We can simply start from "father" and fix the problem. We can't wrongly
return a thread from the same thread group if ->is_child_subreaper == T,
we know that all threads have PF_EXITING set.

1. wait_task_zombie() uses p->real_parent to get psig/siglock. This is
correct but needs tasklist_lock, ->real_parent can exit.
We can use "current" instead. This is our natural child, its parent
must be our sub-thread.
2. Read psig/sig outside of ->siglock, ->signal is no longer protected
by this lock.
3. Fix the outdated comments about tasklist_lock. We can not race with
__exit_signal(), the whole thread group is dead, nobody but us can
call it.
Also clarify the usage of ->stats_lock and ->siglock.
Note: thread_group_cputime_adjusted() is sub-optimal in this case, we
probably want to export cputime_adjust() to avoid thread_group_cputime().
The comment says "all threads" but there are no other threads.

Pranith Kumar posted a patch in which removed the "volatile"
qualifier for the "logbuf_cpu" variable in vprintk_emit().
https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/11/13/894
In his patch, he used ACCESS_ONCE() for all references to
that symbol to provide whatever protection was intended.
There was some discussion that followed, and in the end Steven Rostedt
concluded that not only was "volatile" not needed, neither was it
required to use ACCESS_ONCE(). I offered an elaborate description that
concluded Steven was right, and Pranith asked me to submit an
alternative patch. And this is it.
The basic reason "volatile" is not needed is that "logbuf_cpu" has
static storage duration, and vprintk_emit() is an exported
interface. This means that the value of logbuf_cpu must be read
from memory the first time it is used in a particular call of
vprintk_emit(). The variable's value is read only once in that
function, when it's read it'll be the copy from memory (or cache).
In addition, the value of "logbuf_cpu" is only ever written under
protection of a spinlock. So the value that is read is the "real"
value (and not an out-of-date cached one). If its value is not
UINT_MAX, it is the current CPU's processor id, and it will have
been last written by the running CPU.

There have been several times where I have had to rebuild a kernel to
cause a panic when hitting a WARN() in the code in order to get a crash
dump from a system. Sometimes this is easy to do, other times (such as
in the case of a remote admin) it is not trivial to send new images to
the user.
A much easier method would be a switch to change the WARN() over to a
panic. This makes debugging easier in that I can now test the actual
image the WARN() was seen on and I do not have to engage in remote
debugging.
This patch adds a panic_on_warn kernel parameter and
/proc/sys/kernel/panic_on_warn calls panic() in the
warn_slowpath_common() path. The function will still print out the
location of the warning.
An example of the panic_on_warn output:
The first line below is from the WARN_ON() to output the WARN_ON()'s
location. After that the panic() output is displayed.

1. Cosmetic, but "if (t->parent == father)" looks a bit confusing.
We need to change t->parent if and only if t is not traced.
2. If we actually want this BUG_ON() to ensure that parent/ptrace
match each other, then we should also take ptrace_reparented()
case into account too.
3. Change this code to use for_each_thread() instead of deprecated
while_each_thread().

reparent_leader() reuses ->sibling as a list node to add an EXIT_DEAD task
into dead_children list we are going to release. This obviously removes
the dead task from its real_parent->children list and this is even good;
the parent can do nothing with the EXIT_DEAD reparented zombie, it only
makes do_wait() slower.
But, this also means that it can not be reparented once again, so if its
new parent dies too nobody will update ->parent/real_parent, they can
point to the freed memory even before release_task() we are going to call,
this breaks the code which relies on pid_alive() to access
->real_parent/parent.
Fortunately this is mostly theoretical, this can only happen if init or
PR_SET_CHILD_SUBREAPER process ignores SIGCHLD and the new parent
sub-thread exits right after we drop tasklist_lock.
Change this code to use ->ptrace_entry instead, we know that the child is
not traced so nobody can ever use this member. This also allows to unify
this logic with exit_ptrace(), see the next changes.
Note: we really need to change release_task() to nullify real_parent/
parent/group_leader pointers, but we need to change the current users
first somehow. And it would be better to reap this zombie immediately but
release_task_locked() we need is complicated by proc_flush_task().

rcu_read_lock() can not protect p->real_parent if release_task(p) was
already called, change sched_show_task() to check pis_alive() like other
users do.
Note: we need some helpers to cleanup the code like this. And it seems
that that the usage of cpu_curr(cpu) in dump_cpu_task() is not safe too.

Pull VFS changes from Al Viro:
"First pile out of several (there _definitely_ will be more). Stuff in
this one:
- unification of d_splice_alias()/d_materialize_unique()
- iov_iter rewrite
- killing a bunch of ->f_path.dentry users (and f_dentry macro).
Getting that completed will make life much simpler for
unionmount/overlayfs, since then we'll be able to limit the places
sensitive to file _dentry_ to reasonably few. Which allows to have
file_inode(file) pointing to inode in a covered layer, with dentry
pointing to (negative) dentry in union one.
Still not complete, but much closer now.
- crapectomy in lustre (dead code removal, mostly)
- "let's make seq_printf return nothing" preparations
- assorted cleanups and fixes
There _definitely_ will be more piles"

Pull irq domain updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"The real interesting irq updates:
- Support for hierarchical irq domains:
For complex interrupt routing scenarios where more than one
interrupt related chip is involved we had no proper representation
in the generic interrupt infrastructure so far. That made people
implement rather ugly constructs in their nested irq chip
implementations. The main offenders are x86 and arm/gic.
To distangle that mess we have now hierarchical irqdomains which
seperate the various interrupt chips and connect them via the
hierarchical domains. That keeps the domain specific details
internal to the particular hierarchy level and removes the
criss/cross referencing of chip internals. The resulting hierarchy
for a complex x86 system will look like this:
vector mapped: 74
msi-0 mapped: 2
dmar-ir-1 mapped: 69
ioapic-1 mapped: 4
ioapic-0 mapped: 20
pci-msi-2 mapped: 45
dmar-ir-0 mapped: 3
ioapic-2 mapped: 1
pci-msi-1 mapped: 2
htirq mapped: 0
Neither ioapic nor pci-msi know about the dmar interrupt remapping
between themself and the vector domain. If interrupt remapping is
disabled ioapic and pci-msi become direct childs of the vector
domain.
In hindsight we should have done that years ago, but in hindsight
we always know better :)
- Support for generic MSI interrupt domain handling
We have more and more non PCI related MSI interrupts, so providing
a generic infrastructure for this is better than having all
affected architectures implementing their own private hacks.
- Support for PCI-MSI interrupt domain handling, based on the generic
MSI support.
This part carries the pci/msi branch from Bjorn Helgaas pci tree to
avoid a massive conflict. The PCI/MSI parts are acked by Bjorn.
I have two more branches on top of this. The full conversion of x86
to hierarchical domains and a partial conversion of arm/gic"

Pull scheduler updates from Ingo Molnar:
"The main changes in this cycle are:
- 'Nested Sleep Debugging', activated when CONFIG_DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP=y.
This instruments might_sleep() checks to catch places that nest
blocking primitives - such as mutex usage in a wait loop. Such
bugs can result in hard to debug races/hangs.
Another category of invalid nesting that this facility will detect
is the calling of blocking functions from within schedule() ->
sched_submit_work() -> blk_schedule_flush_plug().
There's some potential for false positives (if secondary blocking
primitives themselves are not ready yet for this facility), but the
kernel will warn once about such bugs per bootup, so the warning
isn't much of a nuisance.
This feature comes with a number of fixes, for problems uncovered
with it, so no messages are expected normally.
- Another round of sched/numa optimizations and refinements, for
CONFIG_NUMA_BALANCING=y.
- Another round of sched/dl fixes and refinements.

and schedule_user will return in RCU user context. This causes RCU

depend on CONFIG_PM or even may be dropped entirely in some cases.
Replace CONFIG_PM_RUNTIME with CONFIG_PM in the PM core code.

The initial reason for this patch is that I noticed that:
if (len > TRACE_BUF_SIZE)
is off by one. In this code, if len == TRACE_BUF_SIZE, then it means we
have truncated the last character off the output string. If we truncate
two or more characters then we exit without printing.
After some discussion, we decided that printing truncated data is better
than not printing at all so we should just use vscnprintf() and remove
the test entirely. Also I have updated memcpy() to copy the NUL char
instead of setting the NUL in a separate step.
