Linus Torvalds 670310dfba Merge branch 'irq-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull irq core updates from Thomas Gleixner:
 "A rather large update for the interrupt core code and the irq chip drivers:

   - Add a new bitmap matrix allocator and supporting changes, which is
     used to replace the x86 vector allocator which comes with separate
     pull request. This allows to replace the convoluted nested loop
     allocation function in x86 with a facility which supports the
     recently added property of managed interrupts proper and allows to
     switch to a best effort vector reservation scheme, which addresses
     problems with vector exhaustion.

   - A large update to the ARM GIC-V3-ITS driver adding support for
     range selectors.

   - New interrupt controllers:
       - Meson and Meson8 GPIO
       - BCM7271 L2
       - Socionext EXIU

     If you expected that this will stop at some point, I have to
     disappoint you. There are new ones posted already. Sigh!

   - STM32 interrupt controller support for new platforms.

   - A pile of fixes, cleanups and updates to the MIPS GIC driver

   - The usual small fixes, cleanups and updates all over the place.
     Most visible one is to move the irq chip drivers Kconfig switches
     into a separate Kconfig menu"

Marc Zyngier 0962289b1c irqchip/gic: Deal with broken firmware exposing only 4kB of GICv2 CPU interface
There is a lot of broken firmware out there that don't really
expose the information the kernel requires when it comes with dealing
with GICv2:

(1) Firmware that only describes the first 4kB of GICv2
(2) Firmware that describe 128kB of CPU interface, while
    the usable portion of the address space is between
    60 and 68kB

So far, we only deal with (2). But we have platforms exhibiting
behaviour (1), resulting in two sub-cases:
(a) The GIC is occupying 8kB, as required by the GICv2 architecture
(b) It is actually spread 128kB, and this is likely to be a version
    of (2)

This patch tries to work around both (a) and (b) by poking at
the outside of the described memory region, and try to work out
what is actually there. This is of course unsafe, and should
only be enabled if there is no way to otherwise fix the DT provided
by the firmware (we provide a "irqchip.gicv2_force_probe" option
to that effect).

Note that for the time being, we restrict ourselves to GICv2
implementations provided by ARM, since there I have no knowledge
of an alternative implementations. This could be relaxed if such
an implementation comes to light on a broken platform.

Byungchul Park d141babe42 locking/lockdep: Add a boot parameter allowing unwind in cross-release and disable it by default
Johan Hovold reported a heavy performance regression caused by lockdep
cross-release:

 > Boot time (from "Linux version" to login prompt) had in fact doubled
 > since 4.13 where it took 17 seconds (with my current config) compared to
 > the 35 seconds I now see with 4.14-rc4.
 >
 > I quick bisect pointed to lockdep and specifically the following commit:
 >
 >	28a903f63e ("locking/lockdep: Handle non(or multi)-acquisition
 >	               of a crosslock")
 >
 > which I've verified is the commit which doubled the boot time (compared
 > to 28a903f63ec0^) (added by lockdep crossrelease series [1]).

Currently cross-release performs unwind on every acquisition, but that
is very expensive.

This patch makes unwind optional and disables it by default and only
records acquire_ip.

Full stack traces are sometimes required for full analysis, in which
case a boot paramter, crossrelease_fullstack, can be specified.

On my qemu Ubuntu machine (x86_64, 4 cores, 512M), the regression was
fixed. We measure boot times with 'perf stat --null --repeat 10 $QEMU',
where $QEMU launches a kernel with init=/bin/true:

1. No lockdep enabled:

 Performance counter stats for 'qemu_booting_time.sh bzImage' (10 runs):

       2.756558155 seconds time elapsed                    ( +-  0.09% )

2. Lockdep enabled:

 Performance counter stats for 'qemu_booting_time.sh bzImage' (10 runs):

       2.968710420 seconds time elapsed                    ( +-  0.12% )

3. Lockdep enabled + cross-release enabled:

 Performance counter stats for 'qemu_booting_time.sh bzImage' (10 runs):

       3.153839636 seconds time elapsed                    ( +-  0.31% )

4. Lockdep enabled + cross-release enabled + this patch applied:

 Performance counter stats for 'qemu_booting_time.sh bzImage' (10 runs):

       2.963669551 seconds time elapsed                    ( +-  0.11% )

I.e. lockdep cross-release performance is now indistinguishable from
vanilla lockdep.

Cyril Bur 07fd1761e1 powerpc/tm: Add commandline option to disable hardware transactional memory
Currently the kernel relies on firmware to inform it whether or not the
CPU supports HTM and as long as the kernel was built with
CONFIG_PPC_TRANSACTIONAL_MEM=y then it will allow userspace to make
use of the facility.

There may be situations where it would be advantageous for the kernel
to not allow userspace to use HTM, currently the only way to achieve
this is to recompile the kernel with CONFIG_PPC_TRANSACTIONAL_MEM=n.

This patch adds a simple commandline option so that HTM can be
disabled at boot time.

Vasily Gorbik 686140a1a9 s390: introduce CPU alternatives
Implement CPU alternatives, which allows to optionally patch newer
instructions at runtime, based on CPU facilities availability.

A new kernel boot parameter "noaltinstr" disables patching.

Current implementation is derived from x86 alternatives. Although
ideal instructions padding (when altinstr is longer then oldinstr)
is added at compile time, and no oldinstr nops optimization has to be
done at runtime. Also couple of compile time sanity checks are done:
1. oldinstr and altinstr must be <= 254 bytes long,
2. oldinstr and altinstr must not have an odd length.

alternative(oldinstr, altinstr, facility);
alternative_2(oldinstr, altinstr1, facility1, altinstr2, facility2);

Both compile time and runtime padding consists of either 6/4/2 bytes nop
or a jump (brcl) + 2 bytes nop filler if padding is longer then 6 bytes.

.altinstructions and .altinstr_replacement sections are part of
__init_begin : __init_end region and are freed after initialization.

Paul E. McKenney 2b1516e55f rcutorture: Add interrupt-disable capability to stall-warning tests
When rcutorture sees the rcutorture.stall_cpu kernel boot parameter,
it loops with preemption disabled, which does in fact normally
generate an RCU CPU stall warning message.  However, there are test
scenarios that need the stalling CPU to have interrupts disabled.
This commit therefore adds an rcutorture.stall_cpu_irqsoff kernel
boot parameter that causes the stalling CPU to disable interrupts.

Amir Levy e69b6c02b4 net: Add support for networking over Thunderbolt cable
ThunderboltIP is a protocol created by Apple to tunnel IP/ethernet
traffic over a Thunderbolt cable. The protocol consists of configuration
phase where each side sends ThunderboltIP login packets (the protocol is
determined by UUID in the XDomain packet header) over the configuration
channel. Once both sides get positive acknowledgment to their login
packet, they configure high-speed DMA path accordingly. This DMA path is
then used to transmit and receive networking traffic.

This patch creates a virtual ethernet interface the host software can
use in the same way as any other networking interface. Once the
interface is brought up successfully network packets get tunneled over
the Thunderbolt cable to the remote host and back.

The connection is terminated by sending a ThunderboltIP logout packet
over the configuration channel. We do this when the network interface is
brought down by user or the driver is unloaded.

Mario Limonciello ce6a90027c platform/x86: Add driver to force WMI Thunderbolt controller power status
Current implementations of Intel Thunderbolt controllers will go
into a low power mode when not in use.

Many machines containing these controllers also have a GPIO wired up
that can force the controller awake.  This is offered via a ACPI-WMI
interface intended to be manipulated by a userspace utility.

This mechanism is provided by Intel to OEMs to include in BIOS.
It uses an industry wide GUID that is populated in a separate _WDG
entry with no binary MOF.

This interface allows software such as fwupd to wake up thunderbolt
controllers to query the firmware version or flash new firmware.

Jani Nikula 53fd40a90f drm: handle override and firmware EDID at drm_do_get_edid() level
Handle debugfs override edid and firmware edid at the low level to
transparently and completely replace the real edid. Previously, we
practically only used the modes from the override EDID, and none of the
other data, such as audio parameters.

This change also prevents actual EDID reads when the EDID is to be
overridden, but retains the DDC probe. This is useful if the reason for
preferring override EDID are problems with reading the data, or
corruption of the data.

Move firmware EDID loading from helper to core, as the functionality
moves to lower level as well. This will result in a change of module
parameter from drm_kms_helper.edid_firmware to drm.edid_firmware, which
arguably makes more sense anyway.

Some future work remains related to override and firmware EDID
validation. Like before, no validation is done for override EDID. The
firmware EDID is validated separately in the loader. Some unification
and deduplication would be in order, to validate all of them at the
drm_do_get_edid() level, like "real" EDIDs.

v2: move firmware loading to core

v3: rebase, commit message refresh

Michal Hocko c9bff3eebc mm, page_alloc: rip out ZONELIST_ORDER_ZONE
Patch series "cleanup zonelists initialization", v1.

This is aimed at cleaning up the zonelists initialization code we have
but the primary motivation was bug report [2] which got resolved but the
usage of stop_machine is just too ugly to live.  Most patches are
straightforward but 3 of them need a special consideration.

Patch 1 removes zone ordered zonelists completely.  I am CCing linux-api
because this is a user visible change.  As I argue in the patch
description I do not think we have a strong usecase for it these days.
I have kept sysctl in place and warn into the log if somebody tries to
configure zone lists ordering.  If somebody has a real usecase for it we
can revert this patch but I do not expect anybody will actually notice
runtime differences.  This patch is not strictly needed for the rest but
it made patch 6 easier to implement.

Patch 7 removes stop_machine from build_all_zonelists without adding any
special synchronization between iterators and updater which I _believe_
is acceptable as explained in the changelog.  I hope I am not missing
anything.

Patch 8 then removes zonelists_mutex which is kind of ugly as well and
not really needed AFAICS but a care should be taken when double checking
my thinking.

This patch (of 9):

Supporting zone ordered zonelists costs us just a lot of code while the
usefulness is arguable if existent at all.  Mel has already made node
ordering default on 64b systems.  32b systems are still using
ZONELIST_ORDER_ZONE because it is considered better to fallback to a
different NUMA node rather than consume precious lowmem zones.

This argument is, however, weaken by the fact that the memory reclaim
has been reworked to be node rather than zone oriented.  This means that
lowmem requests have to skip over all highmem pages on LRUs already and
so zone ordering doesn't save the reclaim time much.  So the only
advantage of the zone ordering is under a light memory pressure when
highmem requests do not ever hit into lowmem zones and the lowmem
pressure doesn't need to reclaim.

Considering that 32b NUMA systems are rather suboptimal already and it
is generally advisable to use 64b kernel on such a HW I believe we
should rather care about the code maintainability and just get rid of
ZONELIST_ORDER_ZONE altogether.  Keep systcl in place and warn if
somebody tries to set zone ordering either from kernel command line or
the sysctl.

Linus Torvalds 439644096c Power management updates for v4.14-rc1
- Drop the P-state selection algorithm based on a PID controller
    from intel_pstate and make it use the same P-state selection
    method (based on the CPU load) for all types of systems in the
    active mode (Rafael Wysocki, Srinivas Pandruvada).
 
  - Rework the cpufreq core and governors to make it possible to
    take cross-CPU utilization updates into account and modify the
    schedutil governor to actually do so (Viresh Kumar).
 
  - Clean up the handling of transition latency information in the
    cpufreq core and untangle it from the information on which drivers
    cannot do dynamic frequency switching (Viresh Kumar).
 
  - Add support for new SoCs (MT2701/MT7623 and MT7622) to the
    mediatek cpufreq driver and update its DT bindings (Sean Wang).
 
  - Modify the cpufreq dt-platdev driver to autimatically create
    cpufreq devices for the new (v2) Operating Performance Points
    (OPP) DT bindings and update its whitelist of supported systems
    (Viresh Kumar, Shubhrajyoti Datta, Marc Gonzalez, Khiem Nguyen,
    Finley Xiao).
 
  - Add support for Ux500 to the cpufreq-dt driver and drop the
    obsolete dbx500 cpufreq driver (Linus Walleij, Arnd Bergmann).
 
  - Add new SoC (R8A7795) support to the cpufreq rcar driver (Khiem
    Nguyen).
 
  - Fix and clean up assorted issues in the cpufreq drivers and core
    (Arvind Yadav, Christophe Jaillet, Colin Ian King, Gustavo Silva,
    Julia Lawall, Leonard Crestez, Rob Herring, Sudeep Holla).
 
  - Update the IO-wait boost handling in the schedutil governor to
    make it less aggressive (Joel Fernandes).
 
  - Rework system suspend diagnostics to make it print fewer messages
    to the kernel log by default, add a sysfs knob to allow more
    suspend-related messages to be printed and add Low Power S0 Idle
    constraints checks to the ACPI suspend-to-idle code (Rafael
    Wysocki, Srinivas Pandruvada).
 
  - Prefer suspend-to-idle over S3 on ACPI-based systems with the
    ACPI_FADT_LOW_POWER_S0 flag set and the Low Power Idle S0 _DSM
    interface present in the ACPI tables (Rafael Wysocki).
 
  - Update documentation related to system sleep and rename a number
    of items in the code to make it cleare that they are related to
    suspend-to-idle (Rafael Wysocki).
 
  - Export a variable allowing device drivers to check the target
    system sleep state from the core system suspend code (Florian
    Fainelli).
 
  - Clean up the cpuidle subsystem to handle the polling state on
    x86 in a more straightforward way and to use %pOF instead of
    full_name (Rafael Wysocki, Rob Herring).
 
  - Update the devfreq framework to fix and clean up a few minor
    issues (Chanwoo Choi, Rob Herring).
 
  - Extend diagnostics in the generic power domains (genpd) framework
    and clean it up slightly (Thara Gopinath, Rob Herring).
 
  - Fix and clean up a couple of issues in the operating performance
    points (OPP) framework (Viresh Kumar, Waldemar Rymarkiewicz).
 
  - Add support for RV1108 to the rockchip-io Adaptive Voltage Scaling
    (AVS) driver (David Wu).
 
  - Fix the usage of notifiers in CPU power management on some
    platforms (Alex Shi).
 
  - Update the pm-graph system suspend/hibernation and boot profiling
    utility (Todd Brandt).
 
  - Make it possible to run the cpupower utility without CPU0 (Prarit
    Bhargava).

Pull power management updates from Rafael Wysocki:
 "This time (again) cpufreq gets the majority of changes which mostly
  are driver updates (including a major consolidation of intel_pstate),
  some schedutil governor modifications and core cleanups.

  There also are some changes in the system suspend area, mostly related
  to diagnostics and debug messages plus some renames of things related
  to suspend-to-idle. One major change here is that suspend-to-idle is
  now going to be preferred over S3 on systems where the ACPI tables
  indicate to do so and provide requsite support (the Low Power Idle S0
  _DSM in particular). The system sleep documentation and the tools
  related to it are updated too.

  The rest is a few cpuidle changes (nothing major), devfreq updates,
  generic power domains (genpd) framework updates and a few assorted
  modifications elsewhere.

  Specifics:

   - Drop the P-state selection algorithm based on a PID controller from
     intel_pstate and make it use the same P-state selection method
     (based on the CPU load) for all types of systems in the active mode
     (Rafael Wysocki, Srinivas Pandruvada).

   - Rework the cpufreq core and governors to make it possible to take
     cross-CPU utilization updates into account and modify the schedutil
     governor to actually do so (Viresh Kumar).

   - Clean up the handling of transition latency information in the
     cpufreq core and untangle it from the information on which drivers
     cannot do dynamic frequency switching (Viresh Kumar).

   - Add support for new SoCs (MT2701/MT7623 and MT7622) to the mediatek
     cpufreq driver and update its DT bindings (Sean Wang).

   - Modify the cpufreq dt-platdev driver to autimatically create
     cpufreq devices for the new (v2) Operating Performance Points (OPP)
     DT bindings and update its whitelist of supported systems (Viresh
     Kumar, Shubhrajyoti Datta, Marc Gonzalez, Khiem Nguyen, Finley
     Xiao).

   - Add support for Ux500 to the cpufreq-dt driver and drop the
     obsolete dbx500 cpufreq driver (Linus Walleij, Arnd Bergmann).

   - Add new SoC (R8A7795) support to the cpufreq rcar driver (Khiem
     Nguyen).

   - Fix and clean up assorted issues in the cpufreq drivers and core
     (Arvind Yadav, Christophe Jaillet, Colin Ian King, Gustavo Silva,
     Julia Lawall, Leonard Crestez, Rob Herring, Sudeep Holla).

   - Update the IO-wait boost handling in the schedutil governor to make
     it less aggressive (Joel Fernandes).

   - Rework system suspend diagnostics to make it print fewer messages
     to the kernel log by default, add a sysfs knob to allow more
     suspend-related messages to be printed and add Low Power S0 Idle
     constraints checks to the ACPI suspend-to-idle code (Rafael
     Wysocki, Srinivas Pandruvada).

   - Prefer suspend-to-idle over S3 on ACPI-based systems with the
     ACPI_FADT_LOW_POWER_S0 flag set and the Low Power Idle S0 _DSM
     interface present in the ACPI tables (Rafael Wysocki).

   - Update documentation related to system sleep and rename a number of
     items in the code to make it cleare that they are related to
     suspend-to-idle (Rafael Wysocki).

   - Export a variable allowing device drivers to check the target
     system sleep state from the core system suspend code (Florian
     Fainelli).

   - Clean up the cpuidle subsystem to handle the polling state on x86
     in a more straightforward way and to use %pOF instead of full_name
     (Rafael Wysocki, Rob Herring).

   - Update the devfreq framework to fix and clean up a few minor issues
     (Chanwoo Choi, Rob Herring).

   - Extend diagnostics in the generic power domains (genpd) framework
     and clean it up slightly (Thara Gopinath, Rob Herring).

   - Fix and clean up a couple of issues in the operating performance
     points (OPP) framework (Viresh Kumar, Waldemar Rymarkiewicz).

   - Add support for RV1108 to the rockchip-io Adaptive Voltage Scaling
     (AVS) driver (David Wu).

   - Fix the usage of notifiers in CPU power management on some
     platforms (Alex Shi).

   - Update the pm-graph system suspend/hibernation and boot profiling
     utility (Todd Brandt).

   - Make it possible to run the cpupower utility without CPU0 (Prarit
     Bhargava)"

Pull x86 mm changes from Ingo Molnar:
 "PCID support, 5-level paging support, Secure Memory Encryption support

  The main changes in this cycle are support for three new, complex
  hardware features of x86 CPUs:

   - Add 5-level paging support, which is a new hardware feature on
     upcoming Intel CPUs allowing up to 128 PB of virtual address space
     and 4 PB of physical RAM space - a 512-fold increase over the old
     limits. (Supercomputers of the future forecasting hurricanes on an
     ever warming planet can certainly make good use of more RAM.)

     Many of the necessary changes went upstream in previous cycles,
     v4.14 is the first kernel that can enable 5-level paging.

     This feature is activated via CONFIG_X86_5LEVEL=y - disabled by
     default.

     (By Kirill A. Shutemov)

   - Add 'encrypted memory' support, which is a new hardware feature on
     upcoming AMD CPUs ('Secure Memory Encryption', SME) allowing system
     RAM to be encrypted and decrypted (mostly) transparently by the
     CPU, with a little help from the kernel to transition to/from
     encrypted RAM. Such RAM should be more secure against various
     attacks like RAM access via the memory bus and should make the
     radio signature of memory bus traffic harder to intercept (and
     decrypt) as well.

     This feature is activated via CONFIG_AMD_MEM_ENCRYPT=y - disabled
     by default.

     (By Tom Lendacky)

   - Enable PCID optimized TLB flushing on newer Intel CPUs: PCID is a
     hardware feature that attaches an address space tag to TLB entries
     and thus allows to skip TLB flushing in many cases, even if we
     switch mm's.

     (By Andy Lutomirski)

  All three of these features were in the works for a long time, and
  it's coincidence of the three independent development paths that they
  are all enabled in v4.14 at once"

Heiko Carstens 3f4298427a s390/vmcp: make use of contiguous memory allocator
If memory is fragmented it is unlikely that large order memory
allocations succeed. This has been an issue with the vmcp device
driver since a long time, since it requires large physical contiguous
memory ares for large responses.

To hopefully resolve this issue make use of the contiguous memory
allocator (cma). This patch adds a vmcp specific vmcp cma area with a
default size of 4MB. The size can be changed either via the
VMCP_CMA_SIZE config option at compile time or with the "vmcp_cma"
kernel parameter (e.g. "vmcp_cma=16m").

For any vmcp response buffers larger than 16k memory from the cma area
will be allocated. If such an allocation fails, there is a fallback to
the buddy allocator.

using it since 4.10-rc1) and no problems with it have been reported
to date.  In particular, no regressions with respect to the PID-based
P-state selection have been reported.  Also testing indicates that
the P-state selection algorithm based on CPU load is generally on par
with the PID-based algorithm performance-wise, and for some workloads
it turns out to be better than the other one, while being more
straightforward and easier to understand at the same time.

Moreover, the PID-based P-state selection algorithm in intel_pstate
is known to be unstable in some situation and generally problematic,
the issues with it are hard to address and it has become a
significant maintenance burden.

For these reasons, make intel_pstate use the "powersave" P-state
selection algorithm based on CPU load in the active mode on all
systems and drop the PID-based P-state selection code along with
all things related to it from the driver.  Also update the
documentation accordingly.

Paul E. McKenney f99bcb2cdb documentation: Fix relation between nohz_full and rcu_nocbs
If a CPU is specified in the nohz_full= kernel boot parameter to a
kernel built with CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL=y, then that CPU's callbacks will
be offloaded, just as if that CPU had also been specified in the
rcu_nocbs= kernel boot parameter.  But the current documentation
states that the user must keep these two boot parameters manually
synchronized.  This commit therefore updates the documentation to
reflect reality.

Viresh Kumar 2d04503632 cpufreq: governor: Drop min_sampling_rate
The cpufreq core and governors aren't supposed to set a limit on how
fast we want to try changing the frequency. This is currently done for
the legacy governors with help of min_sampling_rate.

At worst, we may end up setting the sampling rate to a value lower than
the rate at which frequency can be changed and then one of the CPUs in
the policy will be only changing frequency for ever.

But that is something for the user to decide and there is no need to
have special handling for such cases in the core. Leave it for the user
to figure out.

Logan Gunthorpe a5d31a3f81 char_dev: extend dynamic allocation of majors into a higher range
We've run into problems with running out of dynamicly assign char
device majors particullarly on automated test systems with
all-yes-configs. Roughly 40 dynamic assignments can be made with such
kernels at this time while space is reserved for only 20.

Currently, the kernel only prints a warning when dynamic allocation
overflows the reserved region. And when this happens drivers that have
fixed assignments can randomly fail depending on the order of
initialization of other drivers. Thus, adding a new char device can cause
unexpected failures in completely unrelated parts of the kernel.

This patch solves the problem by extending dynamic major number
allocations down from 511 once the 234-254 region fills up. Fixed
majors already exist above 255 so the infrastructure to support
high number majors is already in place. The patch reserves an
additional 128 major numbers which should hopefully last us a while.

Kernels that don't require more than 20 dynamic majors assigned (which
is pretty typical) should not be affected by this change.

Michal Hocko f70029bbaa mm, memory_hotplug: drop CONFIG_MOVABLE_NODE
Commit 20b2f52b73 ("numa: add CONFIG_MOVABLE_NODE for
movable-dedicated node") has introduced CONFIG_MOVABLE_NODE without a
good explanation on why it is actually useful.

It makes a lot of sense to make movable node semantic opt in but we
already have that because the feature has to be explicitly enabled on
the kernel command line.  A config option on top only makes the
configuration space larger without a good reason.  It also adds an
additional ifdefery that pollutes the code.

Just drop the config option and make it de-facto always enabled.  This
shouldn't introduce any change to the semantic.

Kees Cook 7660a6fddc mm: allow slab_nomerge to be set at build time
Some hardened environments want to build kernels with slab_nomerge
already set (so that they do not depend on remembering to set the kernel
command line option).  This is desired to reduce the risk of kernel heap
overflows being able to overwrite objects from merged caches and changes
the requirements for cache layout control, increasing the difficulty of
these attacks.  By keeping caches unmerged, these kinds of exploits can
usually only damage objects in the same cache (though the risk to
metadata exploitation is unchanged).

Pull security layer updates from James Morris:

 - a major update for AppArmor. From JJ:

     * several bug fixes and cleanups

     * the patch to add symlink support to securityfs that was floated
       on the list earlier and the apparmorfs changes that make use of
       securityfs symlinks

     * it introduces the domain labeling base code that Ubuntu has been
       carrying for several years, with several cleanups applied. And it
       converts the current mediation over to using the domain labeling
       base, which brings domain stacking support with it. This finally
       will bring the base upstream code in line with Ubuntu and provide
       a base to upstream the new feature work that Ubuntu carries.

     * This does _not_ contain any of the newer apparmor mediation
       features/controls (mount, signals, network, keys, ...) that
       Ubuntu is currently carrying, all of which will be RFC'd on top
       of this.

 - Notable also is the Infiniband work in SELinux, and the new file:map
   permission. From Paul:

      "While we're down to 21 patches for v4.13 (it was 31 for v4.12),
       the diffstat jumps up tremendously with over 2k of line changes.

       Almost all of these changes are the SELinux/IB work done by
       Daniel Jurgens; some other noteworthy changes include a NFS v4.2
       labeling fix, a new file:map permission, and reporting of policy
       capabilities on policy load"

   There's also now genfscon labeling support for tracefs, which was
   lost in v4.1 with the separation from debugfs.

 - Smack incorporates a safer socket check in file_receive, and adds a
   cap_capable call in privilege check.

 - TPM as usual has a bunch of fixes and enhancements.

 - Multiple calls to security_add_hooks() can now be made for the same
   LSM, to allow LSMs to have hook declarations across multiple files.

 - IMA now supports different "ima_appraise=" modes (eg. log, fix) from
   the boot command line.

Linus Torvalds 408c9861c6 Power management updates for v4.13-rc1
- Rework suspend-to-idle to allow it to take wakeup events signaled
    by the EC into account on ACPI-based platforms in order to properly
    support power button wakeup from suspend-to-idle on recent Dell
    laptops (Rafael Wysocki).
 
    That includes the core suspend-to-idle code rework, support for
    the Low Power S0 _DSM interface, and support for the ACPI INT0002
    Virtual GPIO device from Hans de Goede (required for USB keyboard
    wakeup from suspend-to-idle to work on some machines).
 
  - Stop trying to export the current CPU frequency via /proc/cpuinfo
    on x86 as that is inaccurate and confusing (Len Brown).
 
  - Rework the way in which the current CPU frequency is exported by
    the kernel (over the cpufreq sysfs interface) on x86 systems with
    the APERF and MPERF registers by always using values read from
    these registers, when available, to compute the current frequency
    regardless of which cpufreq driver is in use (Len Brown).
 
  - Rework the PCI/ACPI device wakeup infrastructure to remove the
    questionable and artificial distinction between "devices that
    can wake up the system from sleep states" and "devices that can
    generate wakeup signals in the working state" from it, which
    allows the code to be simplified quite a bit (Rafael Wysocki).
 
  - Fix the wakeup IRQ framework by making it use SRCU instead of
    RCU which doesn't allow sleeping in the read-side critical
    sections, but which in turn is expected to be allowed by the
    IRQ bus locking infrastructure (Thomas Gleixner).
 
  - Modify some computations in the intel_pstate driver to avoid
    rounding errors resulting from them (Srinivas Pandruvada).
 
  - Reduce the overhead of the intel_pstate driver in the HWP
    (hardware-managed P-states) mode and when the "performance"
    P-state selection algorithm is in use by making it avoid
    registering scheduler callbacks in those cases (Len Brown).
 
  - Rework the energy_performance_preference sysfs knob in
    intel_pstate by changing the values that correspond to
    different symbolic hint names used by it (Len Brown).
 
  - Make it possible to use more than one cpuidle driver at the same
    time on ARM (Daniel Lezcano).
 
  - Make it possible to prevent the cpuidle menu governor from using
    the 0 state by disabling it via sysfs (Nicholas Piggin).
 
  - Add support for FFH (Fixed Functional Hardware) MWAIT in ACPI C1
    on AMD systems (Yazen Ghannam).
 
  - Make the CPPC cpufreq driver take the lowest nonlinear performance
    information into account (Prashanth Prakash).
 
  - Add support for hi3660 to the cpufreq-dt driver, fix the
    imx6q driver and clean up the sfi, exynos5440 and intel_pstate
    drivers (Colin Ian King, Krzysztof Kozlowski, Octavian Purdila,
    Rafael Wysocki, Tao Wang).
 
  - Fix a few minor issues in the generic power domains (genpd)
    framework and clean it up somewhat (Krzysztof Kozlowski,
    Mikko Perttunen, Viresh Kumar).
 
  - Fix a couple of minor issues in the operating performance points
    (OPP) framework and clean it up somewhat (Viresh Kumar).
 
  - Fix a CONFIG dependency in the hibernation core and clean it up
    slightly (Balbir Singh, Arvind Yadav, BaoJun Luo).
 
  - Add rk3228 support to the rockchip-io adaptive voltage scaling
    (AVS) driver (David Wu).
 
  - Fix an incorrect bit shift operation in the RAPL power capping
    driver (Adam Lessnau).
 
  - Add support for the EPP field in the HWP (hardware managed
    P-states) control register, HWP.EPP, to the x86_energy_perf_policy
    tool and update msr-index.h with HWP.EPP values (Len Brown).
 
  - Fix some minor issues in the turbostat tool (Len Brown).
 
  - Add support for AMD family 0x17 CPUs to the cpupower tool and fix
    a minor issue in it (Sherry Hurwitz).
 
  - Assorted cleanups, mostly related to the constification of some
    data structures (Arvind Yadav, Joe Perches, Kees Cook, Krzysztof
    Kozlowski).

Pull power management updates from Rafael Wysocki:
 "The big ticket items here are the rework of suspend-to-idle in order
  to add proper support for power button wakeup from it on recent Dell
  laptops and the rework of interfaces exporting the current CPU
  frequency on x86.

  In addition to that, support for a few new pieces of hardware is
  added, the PCI/ACPI device wakeup infrastructure is simplified
  significantly and the wakeup IRQ framework is fixed to unbreak the IRQ
  bus locking infrastructure.

  Also, there are some functional improvements for intel_pstate, tools
  updates and small fixes and cleanups all over.

  Specifics:

   - Rework suspend-to-idle to allow it to take wakeup events signaled
     by the EC into account on ACPI-based platforms in order to properly
     support power button wakeup from suspend-to-idle on recent Dell
     laptops (Rafael Wysocki).

     That includes the core suspend-to-idle code rework, support for the
     Low Power S0 _DSM interface, and support for the ACPI INT0002
     Virtual GPIO device from Hans de Goede (required for USB keyboard
     wakeup from suspend-to-idle to work on some machines).

   - Stop trying to export the current CPU frequency via /proc/cpuinfo
     on x86 as that is inaccurate and confusing (Len Brown).

   - Rework the way in which the current CPU frequency is exported by
     the kernel (over the cpufreq sysfs interface) on x86 systems with
     the APERF and MPERF registers by always using values read from
     these registers, when available, to compute the current frequency
     regardless of which cpufreq driver is in use (Len Brown).

   - Rework the PCI/ACPI device wakeup infrastructure to remove the
     questionable and artificial distinction between "devices that can
     wake up the system from sleep states" and "devices that can
     generate wakeup signals in the working state" from it, which allows
     the code to be simplified quite a bit (Rafael Wysocki).

   - Fix the wakeup IRQ framework by making it use SRCU instead of RCU
     which doesn't allow sleeping in the read-side critical sections,
     but which in turn is expected to be allowed by the IRQ bus locking
     infrastructure (Thomas Gleixner).

   - Modify some computations in the intel_pstate driver to avoid
     rounding errors resulting from them (Srinivas Pandruvada).

   - Reduce the overhead of the intel_pstate driver in the HWP
     (hardware-managed P-states) mode and when the "performance" P-state
     selection algorithm is in use by making it avoid registering
     scheduler callbacks in those cases (Len Brown).

   - Rework the energy_performance_preference sysfs knob in intel_pstate
     by changing the values that correspond to different symbolic hint
     names used by it (Len Brown).

   - Make it possible to use more than one cpuidle driver at the same
     time on ARM (Daniel Lezcano).

   - Make it possible to prevent the cpuidle menu governor from using
     the 0 state by disabling it via sysfs (Nicholas Piggin).

   - Add support for FFH (Fixed Functional Hardware) MWAIT in ACPI C1 on
     AMD systems (Yazen Ghannam).

   - Make the CPPC cpufreq driver take the lowest nonlinear performance
     information into account (Prashanth Prakash).

   - Add support for hi3660 to the cpufreq-dt driver, fix the imx6q
     driver and clean up the sfi, exynos5440 and intel_pstate drivers
     (Colin Ian King, Krzysztof Kozlowski, Octavian Purdila, Rafael
     Wysocki, Tao Wang).

   - Fix a few minor issues in the generic power domains (genpd)
     framework and clean it up somewhat (Krzysztof Kozlowski, Mikko
     Perttunen, Viresh Kumar).

   - Fix a couple of minor issues in the operating performance points
     (OPP) framework and clean it up somewhat (Viresh Kumar).

   - Fix a CONFIG dependency in the hibernation core and clean it up
     slightly (Balbir Singh, Arvind Yadav, BaoJun Luo).

   - Add rk3228 support to the rockchip-io adaptive voltage scaling
     (AVS) driver (David Wu).

   - Fix an incorrect bit shift operation in the RAPL power capping
     driver (Adam Lessnau).

   - Add support for the EPP field in the HWP (hardware managed
     P-states) control register, HWP.EPP, to the x86_energy_perf_policy
     tool and update msr-index.h with HWP.EPP values (Len Brown).

   - Fix some minor issues in the turbostat tool (Len Brown).

   - Add support for AMD family 0x17 CPUs to the cpupower tool and fix a
     minor issue in it (Sherry Hurwitz).

   - Assorted cleanups, mostly related to the constification of some
     data structures (Arvind Yadav, Joe Perches, Kees Cook, Krzysztof
     Kozlowski)"

The builtin "ima_appraise_tcb" policy should require file signatures for
at least a few of the hooks (eg. kernel modules, firmware, and the kexec

This patch defines a new builtin policy named "secure_boot", which
can be specified on the "ima_policy=" boot command line, independently
or in conjunction with the "ima_appraise_tcb" policy, by specifing
ima_policy="appraise_tcb | secure_boot".  The new appraisal rules

Hugh Dickins 1be7107fbe mm: larger stack guard gap, between vmas
Stack guard page is a useful feature to reduce a risk of stack smashing
into a different mapping. We have been using a single page gap which
is sufficient to prevent having stack adjacent to a different mapping.
But this seems to be insufficient in the light of the stack usage in
userspace. E.g. glibc uses as large as 64kB alloca() in many commonly
used functions. Others use constructs liks gid_t buffer[NGROUPS_MAX]
which is 256kB or stack strings with MAX_ARG_STRLEN.

This will become especially dangerous for suid binaries and the default
no limit for the stack size limit because those applications can be
tricked to consume a large portion of the stack and a single glibc call
could jump over the guard page. These attacks are not theoretical,
unfortunatelly.

Make those attacks less probable by increasing the stack guard gap
to 1MB (on systems with 4k pages; but make it depend on the page size
because systems with larger base pages might cap stack allocations in
the PAGE_SIZE units) which should cover larger alloca() and VLA stack
allocations. It is obviously not a full fix because the problem is
somehow inherent, but it should reduce attack space a lot.

One could argue that the gap size should be configurable from userspace,
but that can be done later when somebody finds that the new 1MB is wrong
for some special case applications.  For now, add a kernel command line
option (stack_guard_gap) to specify the stack gap size (in page units).

Implementation wise, first delete all the old code for stack guard page:
because although we could get away with accounting one extra page in a
stack vma, accounting a larger gap can break userspace - case in point,
a program run with "ulimit -S -v 20000" failed when the 1MB gap was
counted for RLIMIT_AS; similar problems could come with RLIMIT_MLOCK
and strict non-overcommit mode.

Instead of keeping gap inside the stack vma, maintain the stack guard
gap as a gap between vmas: using vm_start_gap() in place of vm_start
(or vm_end_gap() in place of vm_end if VM_GROWSUP) in just those few
places which need to respect the gap - mainly arch_get_unmapped_area(),
and and the vma tree's subtree_gap support for that.

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.

   [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.

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.
