mm/init: Add 'rodata=off' boot cmdline parameter to disable read-only kernel mappings
It may be useful to debug writes to the readonly sections of memory, so provide a cmdline "rodata=off" to allow for this. This can be expanded in the future to support "log" and "write" modes, but that will need to be architecture-specific. This also makes KDB software breakpoints more usable, as read-only mappings can now be disabled on any kernel. Suggested-by: H.

x86/mm/pkeys: Actually enable Memory Protection Keys in the CPU
This sets the bit in 'cr4' to actually enable the protection keys feature. We also include a boot-time disable for the feature "nopku". Seting X86_CR4_PKE will cause the X86_FEATURE_OSPKE cpuid bit to appear set. At this point in boot, identify_cpu() has already run the actual CPUID instructions and populated the "cpu features" structures. We need to go back and re-run identify_cpu() to make sure it gets updated values. We *could* simply re-populate the 11th word of the cpuid data, but this is probably quick enough. Also note that with the cpu_has() check and X86_FEATURE_PKU present in disabled-features.h, we do not need an #ifdef for setup_pku().

workqueue: implement "workqueue.debug_force_rr_cpu" debug feature
Workqueue used to guarantee local execution for work items queued
without explicit target CPU. The guarantee is gone now which can
break some usages in subtle ways. To flush out those cases, this
patch implements a debug feature which forces round-robin CPU
selection for all such work items.
The debug feature defaults to off and can be enabled with a kernel
parameter. The default can be flipped with a debug config option.

sched/debug: Make schedstats a runtime tunable that is disabled by default
schedstats is very useful during debugging and performance tuning but it incurs overhead to calculate the stats. As such, even though it can be disabled at build time, it is often enabled as the information is useful. This patch adds a kernel command-line and sysctl tunable to enable or disable schedstats on demand (when it's built in). It is disabled by default as someone who knows they need it can also learn to enable it when necessary. The benefits are dependent on how scheduler-intensive the workload is. If it is then the patch reduces the number of cycles spent calculating the stats with a small benefit from reducing the cache footprint of the scheduler. These measurements were taken from a 48-core 2-socket machine with Xeon(R) E5-2670 v3 cpus although they were also tested on a single socket machine 8-core machine with Intel i7-3770 processors. netperf-tcp 4.5.0-rc1 4.5.0-rc1 vanilla nostats-v3r1 Hmean 64 560.45 ( 0.00%) 575.98 ( 2.77%) Hmean 128 766.66 ( 0.00%) 795.79 ( 3.80%) Hmean 256 950.51 ( 0.00%) 981.50 ( 3.26%) Hmean 1024 1433.25 ( 0.00%) 1466.51 ( 2.32%) Hmean 2048 2810.54 ( 0.00%) 2879.75 ( 2.46%) Hmean 3312 4618.18 ( 0.00%) 4682.09 ( 1.38%) Hmean 4096 5306.42 ( 0.00%) 5346.39 ( 0.75%) Hmean 8192 10581.44 ( 0.00%) 10698.15 ( 1.10%) Hmean 16384 18857.70 ( 0.00%) 18937.61 ( 0.42%) Small gains here, UDP_STREAM showed nothing intresting and neither did the TCP_RR tests.

The gain is small but it stands to reason that doing less work in the scheduler is a good thing. The downside is that the lack of schedstats and tracepoints may be surprising to experts doing performance analysis until they find the existence of the schedstats= parameter or schedstats sysctl. It will be automatically activated for latencytop and sleep profiling to alleviate the problem. For tracepoints, there is a simple warning as it's not safe to activate schedstats in the context when it's known the tracepoint may be wanted but is unavailable.

mm: memcontrol: account socket memory in unified hierarchy memory controller
Socket memory can be a significant share of overall memory consumed by common workloads. In order to provide reasonable resource isolation in the unified hierarchy, this type of memory needs to be included in the tracking/accounting of a cgroup under active memory resource control. Overhead is only incurred when a non-root control group is created AND the memory controller is instructed to track and account the memory footprint of that group. cgroup.memory=nosocket can be specified on the boot commandline to override any runtime configuration and forcibly exclude socket memory from active memory resource control.

x86/apic: Introduce apic_extnmi command line parameter
This patch introduces a command line parameter apic_extnmi: apic_extnmi=( bsp|all|none ) The default value is "bsp" and this is the current behavior: only the Boot-Strapping Processor receives an external NMI. "all" allows external NMIs to be broadcast to all CPUs. This would raise the success rate of panic on NMI when BSP hangs in NMI context or the external NMI is swallowed by other NMI handlers on the BSP. If you specify "none", no CPUs receive external NMIs. This is useful for the dump capture kernel so that it cannot be shot down by accidentally pressing the external NMI button (on platforms which have it) while saving a crash dump.

workqueue: implement lockup detector
Workqueue stalls can happen from a variety of usage bugs such as missing WQ_MEM_RECLAIM flag or concurrency managed work item indefinitely staying RUNNING. These stalls can be extremely difficult to hunt down because the usual warning mechanisms can't detect workqueue stalls and the internal state is pretty opaque. To alleviate the situation, this patch implements workqueue lockup detector. It periodically monitors all worker_pools periodically and, if any pool failed to make forward progress longer than the threshold duration, triggers warning and dumps workqueue state as follows. BUG: workqueue lockup - pool cpus=0 node=0 flags=0x0 nice=0 stuck for 31s! Showing busy workqueues and worker pools: workqueue events: flags=0x0 pwq 0: cpus=0 node=0 flags=0x0 nice=0 active=17/256 pending: monkey_wrench_fn, e1000_watchdog, cache_reap, vmstat_shepherd, release_one_tty, release_one_tty, release_one_tty, release_one_tty, release_one_tty, release_one_tty, release_one_tty, release_one_tty, release_one_tty, release_one_tty, release_one_tty, release_one_tty, cgroup_release_agent workqueue events_power_efficient: flags=0x80 pwq 0: cpus=0 node=0 flags=0x0 nice=0 active=2/256 pending: check_lifetime, neigh_periodic_work workqueue cgroup_pidlist_destroy: flags=0x0 pwq 0: cpus=0 node=0 flags=0x0 nice=0 active=1/1 pending: cgroup_pidlist_destroy_work_fn ...

rcu: Remove TINY_RCU bloat from pointless boot parameters
The rcu_expedited, rcu_normal, and rcu_normal_after_boot kernel boot parameters are pointless in the case of TINY_RCU because in that case synchronous grace periods, both expedited and normal, are no-ops. However, these three symbols contribute several hundred bytes of bloat. This commit therefore uses CPP directives to avoid compiling this code in TINY_RCU kernels.

rcu: Add rcu_normal kernel parameter to suppress expediting
Although expedited grace periods can be quite useful, and although their OS jitter has been greatly reduced, they can still pose problems for extreme real-time workloads. This commit therefore adds a rcu_normal kernel boot parameter (which can also be manipulated via sysfs) to suppress expedited grace periods, that is, to treat requests for expedited grace periods as if they were requests for normal grace periods. If both rcu_expedited and rcu_normal are specified, rcu_normal wins. This means that if you are relying on expedited grace periods to speed up boot, you will want to specify rcu_expedited on the kernel command line, and then specify rcu_normal via sysfs once boot completes.

USB: limit usbfs snooping of URB contents
The usbfs_snoop facility can be very useful for debugging problems involving usbfs. However, it always prints out the entire contents of every URB. When dealing with large quantities of data, this can be less than helpful. This patch ameliorates the situation by adding a module parameter to usbcore for controlling the maximum number of bytes to print when snooping an URB. This makes debugging much easier.

kernel/watchdog.c: perform all-CPU backtrace in case of hard lockup
In many cases of hardlockup reports, it's actually not possible to know why it triggered, because the CPU that got stuck is usually waiting on a resource (with IRQs disabled) in posession of some other CPU is holding. IOW, we are often looking at the stacktrace of the victim and not the actual offender. Introduce sysctl / cmdline parameter that makes it possible to have hardlockup detector perform all-CPU backtrace.

Power management and ACPI updates for v4.4-rc1
- ACPICA update to upstream revision 20150930 (Bob Moore, Lv Zheng). The most significant change is to allow the AML debugger to be built into the kernel. On top of that there is an update related to the NFIT table (the ACPI persistent memory interface) and a few fixes and cleanups. - ACPI CPPC2 (Collaborative Processor Performance Control v2) support along with a cpufreq frontend (Ashwin Chaugule). This can only be enabled on ARM64 at this point. - New ACPI infrastructure for the early probing of IRQ chips and clock sources (Marc Zyngier). - Support for a new hierarchical properties extension of the ACPI _DSD (Device Specific Data) device configuration object allowing the kernel to handle hierarchical properties (provided by the platform firmware this way) automatically and make them available to device drivers via the generic device properties interface (Rafael Wysocki). - Generic device properties API extension to obtain an index of certain string value in an array of strings, along the lines of of_property_match_string(), but working for all of the supported firmware node types, and support for the "dma-names" device property based on it (Mika Westerberg). - ACPI core fix to parse the MADT (Multiple APIC Description Table) entries in the order expected by platform firmware (and mandated by the specification) to avoid confusion on systems with more than 255 logical CPUs (Lukasz Anaczkowski). - Consolidation of the ACPI-based handling of PCI host bridges on x86 and ia64 (Jiang Liu). - ACPI core fixes to ensure that the correct IRQ number is used to represent the SCI (System Control Interrupt) in the cases when it has been re-mapped (Chen Yu). - New ACPI backlight quirk for Lenovo IdeaPad S405 (Hans de Goede). - ACPI EC driver fixes (Lv Zheng). - Assorted ACPI fixes and cleanups (Dan Carpenter, Insu Yun, Jiri Kosina, Rami Rosen, Rasmus Villemoes). - New mechanism in the PM core allowing drivers to check if the platform firmware is going to be involved in the upcoming system suspend or if it has been involved in the suspend the system is resuming from at the moment (Rafael Wysocki). This should allow drivers to optimize their suspend/resume handling in some cases and the changes include a couple of users of it (the i8042 input driver, PCI PM). - PCI PM fix to prevent runtime-suspended devices with PME enabled from being resumed during system suspend even if they aren't configured to wake up the system from sleep (Rafael Wysocki). - New mechanism to report the number of a wakeup IRQ that woke up the system from sleep last time (Alexandra Yates). - Removal of unused interfaces from the generic power domains framework and fixes related to latency measurements in that code (Ulf Hansson, Daniel Lezcano). - cpufreq core sysfs interface rework to make it handle CPUs that share performance scaling settings (represented by a common cpufreq policy object) more symmetrically (Viresh Kumar). This should help to simplify the CPU offline/online handling among other things. - cpufreq core fixes and cleanups (Viresh Kumar). - intel_pstate fixes related to the Turbo Activation Ratio (TAR) mechanism on client platforms which causes the turbo P-states range to vary depending on platform firmware settings (Srinivas Pandruvada). - intel_pstate sysfs interface fix (Prarit Bhargava). - Assorted cpufreq driver (imx, tegra20, powernv, integrator) fixes and cleanups (Bai Ping, Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz, Shilpasri G Bhat, Luis de Bethencourt). - cpuidle mvebu driver cleanups (Russell King). - OPP (Operating Performance Points) framework code reorganization to make it more maintainable (Viresh Kumar). - Intel Broxton support for the RAPL (Running Average Power Limits) power capping driver (Amy Wiles). - Assorted power management code fixes and cleanups (Dan Carpenter, Geert Uytterhoeven, Geliang Tang, Luis de Bethencourt, Rasmus Villemoes). / -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.22 (GNU/Linux) iQIcBAABCAAGBQJWOC9oAAoJEILEb/54YlRx/c8P/joflwoFsISwJccG62YTQMuc bMQKM4Kw0vl5La8+pkLpe5t6+mW7l81UFtYF6Dzd8LOKlD9sszD34z1lHmCeT/oR wn0uZpHagRyLMUfoyiEtlU/VRU6WQNNtS3EgjwUi7xgFz9Q0pjcCZ9OQ6vKov1j5 +6j40ODif5sgo+2vl+rztJiV0SIMkYdkgNqgfN1FE9bdLA2Zkk+PxxJbtGQORuDu O/K+XhQT2xWquVWi/1p+VtQxs5glBS1oKm0kogV5bElCvNTRNIVABUNcjogITQwo QSAKgoCKIoaIl5jtDT6u5dc0y67q/dMtqOY9fOCcOz1Z7jbWQzR8D7mpFWIsJUPK K2LClI3t85ynpN6Jref246A6+C9nwB8JMAiAR11oBw7WbBlkd6tbRgcT5B+iz8UE FuCCif7pha/Fs+Jt1YRazscIqteQ2bAhhxikuIPMfw2M6M67MNfVNeKA1bAoSM34 dH7JsilblitvV7shrwJHwXPXCOF2jEPoK8I4/q2+TR5qUxEpRJjelQxXGSaQScMZ iNnjeTgv8H8q+rY5Yjzsl4pxP0Fvf7IuqkptWOJbgepg4cQc9pS87wOpY3uEeQzr H7ruaQJFCnLO4aXbPNClsiJARhrBk+qMlsh4vBEyCJ2T0ucb+nIUcN4BTi8t85yl X97BfHHUiDoUrnIsNids =1gaH -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'pm+acpi-4.4-rc1-1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm Pull power management and ACPI updates from Rafael Wysocki: "Quite a new features are included this time. First off, the Collaborative Processor Performance Control interface (version 2) defined by ACPI will now be supported on ARM64 along with a cpufreq frontend for CPU performance scaling. Second, ACPI gets a new infrastructure for the early probing of IRQ chips and clock sources (along the lines of the existing similar mechanism for DT). Next, the ACPI core and the generic device properties API will now support a recently introduced hierarchical properties extension of the _DSD (Device Specific Data) ACPI device configuration object. If the ACPI platform firmware uses that extension to organize device properties in a hierarchical way, the kernel will automatically handle it and make those properties available to device drivers via the generic device properties API. It also will be possible to build the ACPICA's AML interpreter debugger into the kernel now and use that to diagnose AML-related problems more efficiently. In the future, this should make it possible to single-step AML execution and do similar things. Interesting stuff, although somewhat experimental at this point. Finally, the PM core gets a new mechanism that can be used by device drivers to distinguish between suspend-to-RAM (based on platform firmware support) and suspend-to-idle (or other variants of system suspend the platform firmware is not involved in) and possibly optimize their device suspend/resume handling accordingly. In addition to that, some existing features are re-organized quite substantially. First, the ACPI-based handling of PCI host bridges on x86 and ia64 is unified and the common code goes into the ACPI core (so as to reduce code duplication and eliminate non-essential differences between the two architectures in that area). Second, the Operating Performance Points (OPP) framework is reorganized to make the code easier to find and follow. Next, the cpufreq core's sysfs interface is reorganized to get rid of the "primary CPU" concept for configurations in which the same performance scaling settings are shared between multiple CPUs. Finally, some interfaces that aren't necessary any more are dropped from the generic power domains framework. On top of the above we have some minor extensions, cleanups and bug fixes in multiple places, as usual. Specifics: - ACPICA update to upstream revision 20150930 (Bob Moore, Lv Zheng). The most significant change is to allow the AML debugger to be built into the kernel.

efi: Add "efi_fake_mem" boot option
This patch introduces new boot option named "efi_fake_mem". By specifying this parameter, you can add arbitrary attribute to specific memory range. This is useful for debugging of Address Range Mirroring feature. For example, if "efi_fake_mem=2G@4G:0x10000,2G@0x10a0000000:0x10000" is specified, the original (firmware provided) EFI memmap will be updated so that the specified memory regions have EFI_MEMORY_MORE_RELIABLE attribute (0x10000): <original> efi: mem36: [Conventional Memory| | | | | | |WB|WT|WC|UC] range=[0x0000000100000000-0x00000020a0000000) (129536MB) <updated> efi: mem36: [Conventional Memory| |MR| | | | |WB|WT|WC|UC] range=[0x0000000100000000-0x0000000180000000) (2048MB) efi: mem37: [Conventional Memory| | | | | | |WB|WT|WC|UC] range=[0x0000000180000000-0x00000010a0000000) (61952MB) efi: mem38: [Conventional Memory| |MR| | | | |WB|WT|WC|UC] range=[0x00000010a0000000-0x0000001120000000) (2048MB) efi: mem39: [Conventional Memory| | | | | | |WB|WT|WC|UC] range=[0x0000001120000000-0x00000020a0000000) (63488MB) And you will find that the following message is output: efi: Memory: 4096M/131455M mirrored memory Signed-off-by: Taku Izumi <izumi.taku@jp.fujitsu.com> Cc: Tony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com> Cc: Xishi Qiu <qiuxishi@huawei.com> Cc: Kamezawa Hiroyuki <kamezawa.hiroyu@jp.fujitsu.com> Cc: Ard Biesheuvel <ard.biesheuvel@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Matt Fleming <matt.fleming@intel.com> |

rcu: Eliminate panic when silly boot-time fanout specified
This commit loosens rcutree.rcu_fanout_leaf range checks and replaces a panic() with a fallback to compile-time values. This fallback is accompanied by a WARN_ON(), and both occur when the rcutree.rcu_fanout_leaf value is too small to accommodate the number of CPUs. For example, given the current four-level limit for the rcu_node tree, a system with more than 16 CPUs built with CONFIG_FANOUT=2 must have rcutree.rcu_fanout_leaf larger than 2.

xen: allow more than 512 GB of RAM for 64 bit pv-domains
64 bit pv-domains under Xen are limited to 512 GB of RAM today. The main reason has been the 3 level p2m tree, which was replaced by the virtual mapped linear p2m list. Parallel to the p2m list which is being used by the kernel itself there is a 3 level mfn tree for usage by the Xen tools and eventually for crash dump analysis. For this tree the linear p2m list can serve as a replacement, too. As the kernel can't know whether the tools are capable of dealing with the p2m list instead of the mfn tree, the limit of 512 GB can't be dropped in all cases. This patch replaces the hard limit by a kernel parameter which tells the kernel to obey the 512 GB limit or not. The default is selected by a configuration parameter which specifies whether the 512 GB limit should be active per default for domUs (domain save/restore/migration and crash dump analysis are affected). Memory above the domain limit is returned to the hypervisor instead of being identity mapped, which was wrong anyway. The kernel configuration parameter to specify the maximum size of a domain can be deleted, as it is not relevant any more.

A big problem with the current i8042 debugging option is that it outputs data going to and from the keyboard by default.

ACPI / init: Make it possible to override _REV
The platform firmware on some systems expects Linux to return "5" as the supported ACPI revision which makes it expose system configuration information in a special way. For example, based on what ACPI exports as the supported revision, Dell XPS 13 (2015) configures its audio device to either work in HDA mode or in I2S mode, where the former is supposed to be used on Linux until the latter is fully supported (in the kernel as well as in user space). Since ACPI 6 mandates that _REV should return "2" if ACPI 2 or later is supported by the OS, a subsequent change will make that happen, so make it possible to override that on systems where "5" is expected to be returned for Linux to work correctly one them (such as the Dell machine mentioned above).

The cpufreq core fixes from Viresh Kumar are quite significant too as far as the number of commits goes and because they should reduce CPU online/offline overhead quite a bit in the majority of cases. From the new featues point of view, the ACPICA update (to upstream revision 20150515) adding support for new ACPI 6 material to ACPICA is the one that matters the most as some new significant features will be based on it going forward. Also included is an update of the ACPI device power management core to follow ACPI 6 (which in turn reflects the Windows' device PM implementation), a PM core extension to support wakeup interrupts in a more generic way and support for the ACPI _CCA device configuration object. The rest is mostly fixes and cleanups all over and some documentation updates, including new DT bindings for Operating Performance Points.

Merge branch 'x86-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull x86 core updates from Ingo Molnar: "There were so many changes in the x86/asm, x86/apic and x86/mm topics in this cycle that the topical separation of -tip broke down somewhat - so the result is a more traditional architecture pull request, collected into the 'x86/core' topic. The topics were still maintained separately as far as possible, so bisectability and conceptual separation should still be pretty good - but there were a handful of merge points to avoid excessive dependencies (and conflicts) that would have been poorly tested in the end. The next cycle will hopefully be much more quiet (or at least will have fewer dependencies). The main changes in this cycle were: * x86/apic changes, with related IRQ core changes: (Jiang Liu, Thomas Gleixner) - This is the second and most intrusive part of changes to the x86 interrupt handling - full conversion to hierarchical interrupt domains: [IOAPIC domain] ----- | [MSI domain] --------[Remapping domain] ----- [ Vector domain ] | (optional) | [HPET MSI domain] ----- | | [DMAR domain] ----------------------------- | [Legacy domain] ----------------------------- This now reflects the actual hardware and allowed us to distangle the domain specific code from the underlying parent domain, which can be optional in the case of interrupt remapping. It's a clear separation of functionality and removes quite some duct tape constructs which plugged the remap code between ioapic/msi/hpet and the vector management. - Intel IOMMU IRQ remapping enhancements, to allow direct interrupt injection into guests (Feng Wu) * x86/asm changes: - Tons of cleanups and small speedups, micro-optimizations. This is in preparation to move a good chunk of the low level entry code from assembly to C code (Denys Vlasenko, Andy Lutomirski, Brian Gerst) - Moved all system entry related code to a new home under arch/x86/entry/ (Ingo Molnar) - Removal of the fragile and ugly CFI dwarf debuginfo annotations. Conversion to C will reintroduce many of them - but meanwhile they are only getting in the way, and the upstream kernel does not rely on them (Ingo Molnar) - NOP handling refinements. (Borislav Petkov) * x86/mm changes: - Big PAT and MTRR rework: making the code more robust and preparing to phase out exposing direct MTRR interfaces to drivers - in favor of using PAT driven interfaces (Toshi Kani, Luis R Rodriguez, Borislav Petkov) - New ioremap_wt()/set_memory_wt() interfaces to support Write-Through cached memory mappings. This is especially important for good performance on NVDIMM hardware (Toshi Kani) * x86/ras changes: - Add support for deferred errors on AMD (Aravind Gopalakrishnan) This is an important RAS feature which adds hardware support for poisoned data. That means roughly that the hardware marks data which it has detected as corrupted but wasn't able to correct, as poisoned data and raises an APIC interrupt to signal that in the form of a deferred error. It is the OS's responsibility then to take proper recovery action and thus prolonge system lifetime as far as possible. - Add support for Intel "Local MCE"s: upcoming CPUs will support CPU-local MCE interrupts, as opposed to the traditional system- wide broadcasted MCE interrupts (Ashok Raj) - Misc cleanups (Borislav Petkov) * x86/platform changes: - Intel Atom SoC updates ... and lots of other cleanups, fixlets and other changes - see the shortlog and the Git log for details" * 'x86-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (222 commits) x86/hpet: Use proper hpet device number for MSI allocation x86/hpet: Check for irq==0 when allocating hpet MSI interrupts x86/mm/pat, drivers/infiniband/ipath: Use arch_phys_wc_add() and require PAT disabled x86/mm/pat, drivers/media/ivtv: Use arch_phys_wc_add() and require PAT disabled x86/platform/intel/baytrail: Add comments about why we disabled HPET on Baytrail genirq: Prevent crash in irq_move_irq() genirq: Enhance irq_data_to_desc() to support hierarchy irqdomain iommu, x86: Properly handle posted interrupts for IOMMU hotplug iommu, x86: Provide irq_remapping_cap() interface iommu, x86: Setup Posted-Interrupts capability for Intel iommu iommu, x86: Add cap_pi_support() to detect VT-d PI capability iommu, x86: Avoid migrating VT-d posted interrupts iommu, x86: Save the mode (posted or remapped) of an IRTE iommu, x86: Implement irq_set_vcpu_affinity for intel_ir_chip iommu: dmar: Provide helper to copy shared irte fields iommu: dmar: Extend struct irte for VT-d Posted-Interrupts iommu: Add new member capability to struct irq_remap_ops x86/asm/entry/64: Disentangle error_entry/exit gsbase/ebx/usermode code x86/asm/entry/32: Shorten __audit_syscall_entry() args preparation x86/asm/entry/32: Explain reloading of registers after __audit_syscall_entry() ... |

ima: update builtin policies
This patch defines a builtin measurement policy "tcb", similar to the existing "ima_tcb", but with additional rules to also measure files based on the effective uid and to measure files opened with the "read" mode bit set (eg. read, read-write). Changing the builtin "ima_tcb" policy could potentially break existing users. Instead of defining a new separate boot command line option each time the builtin measurement policy is modified, this patch defines a single generic boot command line option "ima_policy=" to specify the builtin policy and deprecates the use of the builtin ima_tcb policy. [The "ima_policy=" boot command line option is based on Roberto Sassu's "ima: added new policy type exec" patch.] Signed-off-by: Mimi Zohar <zohar@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Dr. Greg Wettstein <gw@idfusion.org> Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org |

Pull VT-d hardware workarounds from David Woodhouse: "This contains a workaround for hardware issues which I *thought* were never going to be seen on production hardware. I'm glad I checked that before the 4.1 release... Firstly, PASID support is so broken on existing chips that we're just going to declare the old capability bit 28 as 'reserved' and change the VT-d spec to move PASID support to another bit. So any existing hardware doesn't support SVM; it only sets that (now) meaningless bit 28. That patch *wasn't* imperative for 4.1 because we don't have PASID support yet. But *even* the extended context tables are broken — if you just enable the wider tables and use none of the new bits in them, which is precisely what 4.1 does, you find that translations don't work. It's this problem which I thought was caught in time to be fixed before production, but wasn't. To avoid triggering this issue, we now *only* enable the extended context tables on hardware which also advertises "we have PASID support and we actually tested it this time" with the new PASID feature bit. In addition, I've added an 'intel_iommu=ecs_off' command line parameter to allow us to disable it manually if we need to" * git://git.infradead.org/intel-iommu: iommu/vt-d: Only enable extended context tables if PASID is supported iommu/vt-d: Change PASID support to bit 40 of Extended Capability Register |

iommu/vt-d: Only enable extended context tables if PASID is supported
Although the extended tables are theoretically a completely orthogonal
feature to PASID and anything else that *uses* the newly-available bits,
some of the early hardware has problems even when all we do is enable
them and use only the same bits that were in the old context tables.
For now, there's no motivation to support extended tables unless we're
going to use PASID support to do SVM. So just don't use them unless
PASID support is advertised too. Also add a command-line bailout just in
case later chips also have issues.
The equivalent problem for PASID support has already been fixed with the
upcoming VT-d spec update and commit

x86/mpx: Introduce a boot-time disable flag
MPX has the _potential_ to cause some issues. Say part of your init system tried to protect one of its components from buffer overflows with MPX. If there were a false positive, it's possible that MPX could keep a system from booting. MPX could also potentially cause performance issues since it is present in hot paths like the unmap path. Allow it to be disabled at boot time.

rcutorture: Allow negative values of nreaders to oversubscribe
By default, with rcutorture.nreaders equal to -1, rcutorture provisions N-1 reader kthreads, where N is the number of CPUs. This avoids rcutorture-induced stalls, but also avoids heavier levels of torture. This commit therefore allows negative values of rcutorture.nreaders to specify larger numbers of reader kthreads, so that for example rcutorture.nreaders=-2 provisions N kthreads and rcutorture.nreaders=-5 provisions N+3 kthreads.

rcu: Provide diagnostic option to slow down grace-period scans
Grace-period scans of the rcu_node combining tree normally proceed quite quickly, so that it is very difficult to reproduce races against them. This commit therefore allows grace-period pre-initialization and cleanup to be artificially slowed down, increasing race-reproduction probability. A pair of pairs of new Kconfig parameters are provided, RCU_TORTURE_TEST_SLOW_PREINIT to enable the slowing down of propagating CPU-hotplug changes up the combining tree along with RCU_TORTURE_TEST_SLOW_PREINIT_DELAY to specify the delay in jiffies, and RCU_TORTURE_TEST_SLOW_CLEANUP to enable the slowing down of the end-of-grace-period cleanup scan along with RCU_TORTURE_TEST_SLOW_CLEANUP_DELAY to specify the delay in jiffies. Boot-time parameters named rcutree.gp_preinit_delay and rcutree.gp_cleanup_delay allow these delays to be specified at boot time. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com> |

driver-core: add driver module asynchronous probe support
Some init systems may wish to express the desire to have device drivers run their probe() code asynchronously. This implements support for this and allows userspace to request async probe as a preference through a generic shared device driver module parameter, async_probe. Implementation for async probe is supported through a module parameter given that since synchronous probe has been prevalent for years some userspace might exist which relies on the fact that the device driver will probe synchronously and the assumption that devices it provides will be immediately available after this.

This has been made possible by both changes to the ACPI spec to cater for ARM-based machines (known as "hardware-reduced" in ACPI parlance) but also a Linaro-driven effort to get this supported on top of the Linux kernel. This pull request is the result of that work. These changes allow us to initialise the CPUs, interrupt controller, and timers via ACPI tables, with memory information and cmdline coming from EFI. We don't support a hybrid ACPI/FDT scheme. Of course, there is still plenty of work to do (a serial console would be nice!) but I expect that to happen on a per-driver basis after this core series has been merged. Anyway, the diff stat here is fairly horrible, but splitting this up and merging it via all the different subsystems would have been extremely painful. Instead, we've got all the relevant Acks in place and I've not seen anything other than trivial (Kconfig) conflicts in -next (for completeness, I've included my resolution below). Nearly half of the insertions fall under Documentation/. So, we'll see how this goes.

TTY/Serial patches for 4.1-rc1
Here's the big tty/serial driver update for 4.1-rc1. It was delayed for a bit due to some questions surrounding some of the console command line parsing changes that are in here. There's still one tiny regression for people who were previously putting multiple console command lines and expecting them all to be ignored for some odd reason, but Peter is working on fixing that. If not, I'll send a revert for the offending patch, but I have faith that Peter can address it. Other than the console work here, there's the usual serial driver updates and changes, and a buch of 8250 reworks to try to make that driver easier to maintain over time, and have it support more devices in the future. All of these have been in linux-next for a while.
