Paul E. McKenney 22607d66bb srcu: Specify auto-expedite holdoff time
On small systems, in the absence of readers, expedited SRCU grace
periods can complete in less than a microsecond.  This means that an
eight-CPU system can have all CPUs doing synchronize_srcu() in a tight
loop and almost always expedite.  This might actually be desirable in
some situations, but in general it is a good way to needlessly burn
CPU cycles.  And in those situations where it is desirable, your friend
is the function synchronize_srcu_expedited().

For other situations, this commit adds a kernel parameter that specifies
a holdoff between completing the last SRCU grace period and auto-expediting
the next.  If the next grace period starts before the holdoff expires,
auto-expediting is disabled.  The holdoff is 50 microseconds by default,
and can be tuned to the desired number of nanoseconds.  A value of zero
disables auto-expediting.

Shaohua Li bfd20f1cc8 x86, iommu/vt-d: Add an option to disable Intel IOMMU force on
IOMMU harms performance signficantly when we run very fast networking
workloads. It's 40GB networking doing XDP test. Software overhead is
almost unaware, but it's the IOTLB miss (based on our analysis) which
kills the performance. We observed the same performance issue even with
software passthrough (identity mapping), only the hardware passthrough
survives. The pps with iommu (with software passthrough) is only about
~30% of that without it. This is a limitation in hardware based on our
observation, so we'd like to disable the IOMMU force on, but we do want
to use TBOOT and we can sacrifice the DMA security bought by IOMMU. I
must admit I know nothing about TBOOT, but TBOOT guys (cc-ed) think not
eabling IOMMU is totally ok.

So introduce a new boot option to disable the force on. It's kind of
silly we need to run into intel_iommu_init even without force on, but we
need to disable TBOOT PMR registers. For system without the boot option,
nothing is changed.

Joerg Roedel acf7f76b64 Merge branch 'for-joerg/arm-smmu/updates' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/will/linux into arm/smmu 2017-04-07 18:23:01 +02:00
Will Deacon fccb4e3b8a iommu: Allow default domain type to be set on the kernel command line
The IOMMU core currently initialises the default domain for each group
to IOMMU_DOMAIN_DMA, under the assumption that devices will use
IOMMU-backed DMA ops by default. However, in some cases it is desirable
for the DMA ops to bypass the IOMMU for performance reasons, reserving
use of translation for subsystems such as VFIO that require it for
enforcing device isolation.

Rather than modify each IOMMU driver to provide different semantics for
DMA domains, instead we introduce a command line parameter that can be
used to change the type of the default domain. Passthrough can then be
specified using "iommu.passthrough=1" on the kernel command line.

Mark Rutland b0845ce583 kasan: report only the first error by default
Disable kasan after the first report.  There are several reasons for
this:

 - Single bug quite often has multiple invalid memory accesses causing
   storm in the dmesg.

 - Write OOB access might corrupt metadata so the next report will print
   bogus alloc/free stacktraces.

 - Reports after the first easily could be not bugs by itself but just
   side effects of the first one.

Given that multiple reports usually only do harm, it makes sense to
disable kasan after the first one.  If user wants to see all the
reports, the boot-time parameter kasan_multi_shot must be used.

Borislav Petkov 011d826111 RAS: Add a Corrected Errors Collector
Introduce a simple data structure for collecting correctable errors
along with accessors. More detailed description in the code itself.

The error decoding is done with the decoding chain now and
mce_first_notifier() gets to see the error first and the CEC decides
whether to log it and then the rest of the chain doesn't hear about it -
basically the main reason for the CE collector - or to continue running
the notifiers.

When the CEC hits the action threshold, it will try to soft-offine the
page containing the ECC and then the whole decoding chain gets to see
the error.

Lu Baolu 1b5aeebf3a x86/earlyprintk: Add support for earlyprintk via USB3 debug port
Add support for earlyprintk by writing debug messages to the
USB3 debug port. Users can use this type of early printk by
specifying the kernel parameter of "earlyprintk=xdbc". This
gives users a chance of providing debugging output.

The hardware for USB3 debug port requires DMA memory blocks.
This requires to delay setting up debugging hardware and
registering boot console until the memblocks are filled.

Linus Torvalds f26db9649a There was some breakage with the changes for jump labels in the 4.11 merge
window. Namely powerpc broke as jump labels uses the two LSB bits as flags
 in initialization. A check was added to make sure that all jump label
 entries were 4 bytes aligned, but powerpc didn't work that way for modules.
 Adding an alignment in the module linker script appeared to be the best
 solution.
 
 Jump labels also added an anonymous union to access those LSB bits as a
 normal long. But because this structure had static initialization, it broke
 older compilers that could not statically initialize anonymous unions
 without brackets.
 
 The command line parameter for setting function graph filter broke the
 "EMPTY_HASH" descriptor by modifying it instead of creating a new hash to
 hold the entries.
 
 The command line parameter ftrace_graph_max_depth was added to allow its
 setting at boot time. It uses existing code and only the command line hook
 was added. This is not really a fix, but as it uses existing code without
 affecting anything else, I added it to this release. It was ready before the
 merge window closed, but I wanted to let it sit in linux-next for a couple
 of days first.

At boot-time, this allows a user to request CONFIG_CPU_FREQ=n

This is analogous to the existing "cpuidle.off=1" option
and CONFIG_CPU_IDLE=y

This capability is valuable when we need to debug end-user
issues in the BIOS or in Linux.  It is also convenient
for enabling comparisons, which may otherwise require a new kernel,
or help from BIOS SETUP, which may be buggy or unavailable.

Tejun Heo 1663f26df3 slub: make sysfs directories for memcg sub-caches optional
SLUB creates a per-cache directory under /sys/kernel/slab which hosts a
bunch of debug files.  Usually, there aren't that many caches on a
system and this doesn't really matter; however, if memcg is in use, each
cache can have per-cgroup sub-caches.  SLUB creates the same directories
for these sub-caches under /sys/kernel/slab/$CACHE/cgroup.

Unfortunately, because there can be a lot of cgroups, active or
draining, the product of the numbers of caches, cgroups and files in
each directory can reach a very high number - hundreds of thousands is
commonplace.  Millions and beyond aren't difficult to reach either.

What's under /sys/kernel/slab is primarily for debugging and the
information and control on the a root cache already cover its
sub-caches.  While having a separate directory for each sub-cache can be
helpful for development, it doesn't make much sense to pay this amount
of overhead by default.

This patch introduces a boot parameter slub_memcg_sysfs which determines
whether to create sysfs directories for per-memcg sub-caches.  It also
adds CONFIG_SLUB_MEMCG_SYSFS_ON which determines the boot parameter's
default value and defaults to 0.

Thomas Gleixner 47512cfd0d x86/platform/goldfish: Prevent unconditional loading
The goldfish platform code registers the platform device unconditionally
which causes havoc in several ways if the goldfish_pdev_bus driver is
enabled:

 - Access to the hardcoded physical memory region, which is either not
   available or contains stuff which is completely unrelated.

 - Prevents that the interrupt of the serial port can be requested

 - In case of a spurious interrupt it goes into a infinite loop in the
   interrupt handler of the pdev_bus driver (which needs to be fixed
   seperately).

Add a 'goldfish' command line option to make the registration opt-in when
the platform is compiled in.

I'm seriously grumpy about this engineering trainwreck, which has seven
SOBs from Intel developers for 50 lines of code. And none of them figured
out that this is broken. Impressive fail!

Heiko Carstens 89175cf766 s390: provide sclp based boot console
Use the early sclp code to provide a boot console. This boot console
is available if the kernel parameter "earlyprintk" has been specified,
just like it works for other architectures that also provide an early
boot console.

This makes debugging of early problems much easier, since now we
finally have working console output even before memory detection is
running.

The boot console will be automatically disabled as soon as another
console will be registered.

Lv Zheng 9c4aa1eecb ACPI / sysfs: Provide quirk mechanism to prevent GPE flooding
Sometimes, the users may require a quirk to be provided from ACPI subsystem
core to prevent a GPE from flooding.
Normally, if a GPE cannot be dispatched, ACPICA core automatically prevents
the GPE from firing. But there are cases the GPE is dispatched by _Lxx/_Exx
provided via AML table, and OSPM is lacking of the knowledge to get
_Lxx/_Exx correctly executed to handle the GPE, thus the GPE flooding may
still occur.

The existing quirk mechanism can be enabled/disabled using the following
commands to prevent such kind of GPE flooding during runtime:
 # echo mask > /sys/firmware/acpi/interrupts/gpe00
 # echo unmask > /sys/firmware/acpi/interrupts/gpe00
To avoid GPE flooding during boot, we need a boot stage mechanism.

This patch provides such a boot stage quirk mechanism to stop this kind of
GPE flooding. This patch doesn't fix any feature gap but since the new
feature gaps could be found in the future endlessly, and can disappear if
the feature gaps are filled, providing a boot parameter rather than a DMI
table should suffice.

Mimi Zohar d68a6fe9fc ima: define a canonical binary_runtime_measurements list format
The IMA binary_runtime_measurements list is currently in platform native
format.

To allow restoring a measurement list carried across kexec with a
different endianness than the targeted kernel, this patch defines
little-endian as the canonical format.  For big endian systems wanting
to save/restore the measurement list from a system with a different
endianness, a new boot command line parameter named "ima_canonical_fmt"
is defined.

Considerations: use of the "ima_canonical_fmt" boot command line option
will break existing userspace applications on big endian systems
expecting the binary_runtime_measurements list to be in platform native
format.

On architectures like arm64, swiotlb is tied intimately to the core
architecture DMA support. In addition, ZONE_DMA cannot be disabled.

To aid debugging and catch devices not supporting DMA to memory outside
the 32-bit address space, add a kernel command line option
"swiotlb=noforce", which disables the use of bounce buffers.
If specified, trying to map memory that cannot be used with DMA will
fail, and a rate-limited warning will be printed.

Note that io_tlb_nslabs is set to 1, which is the minimal supported
value.

Linus Torvalds e7aa8c2eb1 These are the documentation changes for 4.10.
It's another busy cycle for the docs tree, as the sphinx conversion
 continues.  Highlights include:
 
  - Further work on PDF output, which remains a bit of a pain but should be
    more solid now.
 
  - Five more DocBook template files converted to Sphinx.  Only 27 to go...
    Lots of plain-text files have also been converted and integrated.
 
  - Images in binary formats have been replaced with more source-friendly
    versions.
 
  - Various bits of organizational work, including the renaming of various
    files discussed at the kernel summit.
 
  - New documentation for the device_link mechanism.
 
 ...and, of course, lots of typo fixes and small updates.
