Mika Westerberg 163f151152 thunderbolt: Add documentation how Thunderbolt bus can be used
Since there are no such tool yet that handles all the low-level details
of connecting devices and upgrading their firmware, add a small document
that shows how the Thunderbolt bus can be used directly from command
line.

Paul E. McKenney 90040c9e30 rcu: Remove *_SLOW_* Kconfig options
The RCU_TORTURE_TEST_SLOW_PREINIT, RCU_TORTURE_TEST_SLOW_PREINIT_DELAY,
RCU_TORTURE_TEST_SLOW_PREINIT_DELAY, RCU_TORTURE_TEST_SLOW_INIT,
RCU_TORTURE_TEST_SLOW_INIT_DELAY, RCU_TORTURE_TEST_SLOW_CLEANUP,
and RCU_TORTURE_TEST_SLOW_CLEANUP_DELAY Kconfig options are only
useful for torture testing, and there are the rcutree.gp_cleanup_delay,
rcutree.gp_init_delay, and rcutree.gp_preinit_delay kernel boot parameters
that rcutorture can use instead.  The effect of these parameters is to
artificially slow down grace period initialization and cleanup in order
to make some types of race conditions happen more often.

This commit therefore simplifies Tree RCU a bit by removing the Kconfig
options and adding the corresponding kernel parameters to rcutorture's
.boot files instead.  However, this commit also leaves out the kernel
parameters for TREE02, TREE04, and TREE07 in order to have about the
same number of tests slowed as not slowed.  TREE01, TREE03, TREE05,
and TREE06 are slowed, and the rest are not slowed.

Paul E. McKenney c350c00829 srcu: Prevent sdp->srcu_gp_seq_needed counter wrap
If a given CPU never happens to ever start an SRCU grace period, the
grace-period sequence counter might wrap.  If this CPU were to decide to
finally start a grace period, the state of its sdp->srcu_gp_seq_needed
might make it appear that it has already requested this grace period,
which would prevent starting the grace period.  If no other CPU ever started
a grace period again, this would look like a grace-period hang.  Even
if some other CPU took pity and started the needed grace period, the
leaf rcu_node structure's ->srcu_data_have_cbs field won't have record
of the fact that this CPU has a callback pending, which would look like
a very localized grace-period hang.

This might seem very unlikely, but SRCU grace periods can take less than
a microsecond on small systems, which means that overflow can happen
in much less than an hour on a 32-bit embedded system.  And embedded
systems are especially likely to have long-term idle CPUs.  Therefore,
it makes sense to prevent this scenario from happening.

This commit therefore scans each srcu_data structure occasionally,
with frequency controlled by the srcutree.counter_wrap_check kernel
boot parameter.  This parameter can be set to something like 255
in order to exercise the counter-wrap-prevention code.

Paul E. McKenney 820687a7b9 rcuperf: Add writer_holdoff boot parameter
This commit adds a writer_holdoff boot parameter to rcuperf, which is
intended to be used to test Tree SRCU's auto-expediting.  This
boot parameter is in microseconds, and defaults to zero (that is,
disabled).  Set it to a bit larger than srcutree.exp_holdoff,
keeping the nanosecond/microsecond conversion, to force Tree SRCU
to auto-expedite more aggressively.

This commit also adds documentation for this parameter, and fixes some
alphabetization while in the neighborhood.

Paul E. McKenney 881ed593a3 rcuperf: Add ability to performance-test call_rcu() and friends
This commit upgrades rcuperf so that it can do performance testing on
asynchronous grace-period primitives such as call_srcu().  There is
a new rcuperf.gp_async module parameter that specifies this new behavior,
with the pre-existing rcuperf.gp_exp testing expedited grace periods such as
synchronize_rcu_expedited, and with the default being to test synchronous
non-expedited grace periods such as synchronize_rcu().

There is also a new rcuperf.gp_async_max module parameter that specifies
the maximum number of outstanding callbacks per writer kthread, defaulting
to 1,000.  When this limit is exceeded, the writer thread invokes the
appropriate flavor of rcu_barrier() to wait for callbacks to drain.

Baoquan He 8fcc9bc3ea Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt: Update 'memmap=' boot option description
In commit:

  9710f581bb ("x86, mm: Let "memmap=" take more entries one time")

... 'memmap=' was changed to adopt multiple, comma delimited values in a
single entry, so update the related description.

In the special case of only specifying size value without an offset,
like memmap=nn[KMG], memmap behaves similarly to mem=nn[KMG], so update
it too here.

Furthermore, for memmap=nn[KMG]$ss[KMG], an escape character needs be added
before '$' for some bootloaders. E.g in grub2, if we specify memmap=100M$5G
as suggested by the documentation, "memmap=100MG" gets passed to the kernel.

Clarify all this.

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.

Stefan Hajnoczi f4660cc994 vhost/vsock: use static minor number
Vhost-vsock is a software device so there is no probe call that causes
the driver to register its misc char device node.  This creates a
chicken and egg problem: userspace applications must open
/dev/vhost-vsock to use the driver but the file doesn't exist until the
kernel module has been loaded.

Use the devname modalias mechanism so that /dev/vhost-vsock is created
at boot.  The vhost_vsock kernel module is automatically loaded when the
first application opens /dev/host-vsock.

Note that the "reserved for local use" range in
Documentation/admin-guide/devices.txt is incorrect.  The userio driver
already occupies part of that range.  I've updated the documentation
accordingly.

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.

The hardware for USB3 debug port requires DMA memory blocks.
This requires to delay setting up debugging hardware and

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.

  Specifics:

   - Three fixes for intel_pstate problems related to the passive mode
     (in which it acts as a regular cpufreq scaling driver), two for the
     handling of global P-state limits and one for the handling of the
     cpu_frequency tracepoint in that mode (Rafael Wysocki).

   - Three fixes for the handling of P-state limits in intel_pstate in
     the active mode (Rafael Wysocki).

   - Introduction of a new cpufreq.off=1 kernel command line argument
     that will disable cpufreq entirely if passed to the kernel and is
     simply hooked up to the existing code used by Xen (Len Brown).

   - Fix for the schedutil cpufreq governor to prevent it from using
     stale raw frequency values in configurations with mutiple CPUs
     sharing one policy object and a cleanup for it reducing its
     overhead slightly (Viresh Kumar)"

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.

For mouse devices we can currently change the polling interval

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.

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

I found some instances for "an userfaultfd", but I did not add it to the

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.

Geert Uytterhoeven fff5d99225 swiotlb: Add swiotlb=noforce debug option
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 5266e70335 TTY/Serial patches for 4.10-rc1
Here's the tty/serial patchset for 4.10-rc1.
 
 It's been a quiet kernel cycle for this subsystem, just a small number
 of changes.  A few new serial drivers, and some cleanups to the old
 vgacon logic, and other minor serial driver changes as well.
 
 All of these have been in linux-next for a while with no reported
 issues.

Pull power management updates from Rafael Wysocki:
 "Again, cpufreq gets more changes than the other parts this time (one
  new driver, one old driver less, a bunch of enhancements of the
  existing code, new CPU IDs, fixes, cleanups)

  There also are some changes in cpuidle (idle injection rework, a
  couple of new CPU IDs, online/offline rework in intel_idle, fixes and
  cleanups), in the generic power domains framework (mostly related to
  supporting power domains containing CPUs), and in the Operating
  Performance Points (OPP) library (mostly related to supporting devices
  with multiple voltage regulators)

  In addition to that, the system sleep state selection interface is
  modified to make it easier for distributions with unchanged user space
  to support suspend-to-idle as the default system suspend method, some
  issues are fixed in the PM core, the latency tolerance PM QoS
  framework is improved a bit, the Intel RAPL power capping driver is
  cleaned up and there are some fixes and cleanups in the devfreq
  subsystem

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.

Jonathan Corbet 7358bb2f32 docs: Clean up and organize the admin guide a bit
The admin guide is a good start, but it's time to turn it into something
better than an unordered blob of files.  This is a first step in that
direction.  The TOC has been split up and annotated, the guides have been
reordered, and minor tweaks have been applied to a few of them.

One consequence of splitting up the TOC is that we don't really want to use
:numbered: anymore, since the count resets every time and there doesn't
seem to be a way to change that.  Eventually we probably want to group the
documents into sub-books, at which point we can go back to a single TOC,
but it's probably early to do that.
