Jonathan Corbet 6312811be2 Merge remote-tracking branch 'mauro-exp/docbook3' into death-to-docbook
Mauro says:

This patch series convert the remaining DocBooks to ReST.

The first version was originally
send as 3 patch series:

   [PATCH 00/36] Convert DocBook documents to ReST
   [PATCH 0/5] Convert more books to ReST
   [PATCH 00/13] Get rid of DocBook

The lsm book was added as if it were a text file under
Documentation. The plan is to merge it with another file
under Documentation/security, after both this series and
a security Documentation patch series gets merged.

It also adjusts some Sphinx-pedantic errors/warnings on
some kernel-doc markups.

I also added some patches here to add PDF output for all
existing ReST books.

Pull HID subsystem updates from Jiri Kosina:

 - The need for HID_QUIRK_NO_INIT_REPORTS per-device quirk has been
   growing dramatically during past years, so the time has come to
   switch over the default, and perform the pro-active reading only in
   cases where it's really needed (multitouch, wacom).

   The only place where this behavior is (in some form) preserved is
   hiddev so that we don't introduce userspace-visible change of
   behavior.

   From Benjamin Tissoires

 - HID++ support for power_supply / baterry reporting.

   From Benjamin Tissoires and Bastien Nocera

 - Vast improvements / rework of DS3 and DS4 in Sony driver.

 - Improvment (in terms of getting closer to the Microsoft's
   interpretation of slightly ambiguous specification) of logical range
   interpretation in case null-state is set in the rdesc.

Linus Torvalds c58d4055c0 A reasonably busy cycle for documentation this time around. There is a new
guide for user-space API documents, rather sparsely populated at the
 moment, but it's a start.  Markus improved the infrastructure for
 converting diagrams.  Mauro has converted much of the USB documentation
 over to RST.  Plus the usual set of fixes, improvements, and tweaks.
 
 There's a bit more than the usual amount of reaching out of Documentation/
 to fix comments elsewhere in the tree; I have acks for those where I could
 get them.

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.

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.

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.

Artur Paszkiewicz 664aed0444 md: add sysfs entries for PPL
Add 'consistency_policy' attribute for array. It indicates how the array
maintains consistency in case of unexpected shutdown.

Add 'ppl_sector' and 'ppl_size' for rdev, which describe the location
and size of the PPL space on the device. They can't be changed for
active members if the array is started and PPL is enabled, so in the
setter functions only basic checks are performed. More checks are done
in ppl_validate_rdev() when starting the log.

These attributes are writable to allow enabling PPL for external
metadata arrays and (later) to enable/disable PPL for a running array.

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.

Len Brown d82f269255 cpufreq: Add the "cpufreq.off=1" cmdline option
Add the "cpufreq.off=1" cmdline option.

At boot-time, this allows a user to request CONFIG_CPU_FREQ=n
behavior from a kernel built with CONFIG_CPU_FREQ=y.

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.

Todd Brandt 65a50c6562 ftrace/graph: Add ftrace_graph_max_depth kernel parameter
Early trace callgraphs can be extremely large on systems with
several seconds of boot time. The max_depth parameter limits how
deep the graph trace goes and reduces the output size. This
parameter is the same as the max_graph_depth file in tracefs.

Masahiro Yamada 9332ef9dbd scripts/spelling.txt: add "an user" pattern and fix typo instances
Fix typos and add the following to the scripts/spelling.txt:

  an user||a user
  an userspace||a userspace

I also added "userspace" to the list since it is a common word in Linux.
I found some instances for "an userfaultfd", but I did not add it to the
list.  I felt it is endless to find words that start with "user" such as
"userland" etc., so must draw a line somewhere.

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.

Linus Torvalds 37c85961c3 TTY/Serial driver patches for 4.11-rc1
Here is the big tty/serial driver patchset for 4.11-rc1.
 
 Not much here, but a lot of little fixes and individual serial driver
 updates all over the subsystem.  Majority are for the sh-sci driver and
 platform (the arch-specific changes have acks from the maintainer).
 
 The start of the "serial bus" code is here as well, but nothing is
 converted to use it yet.  That work is still ongoing, hopefully will
 start to show up across different subsystems for 4.12 (bluetooth is one
 major place that will be used.)
 
 All of these have been in linux-next for a while with no reported
 issues.
