The AMD document outlining the SSBD handling
124441_AMD64_SpeculativeStoreBypassDisable_Whitepaper_final.pdf
mentions that the CPUID 8000_0008.EBX[26] will mean that the
speculative store bypass disable is no longer needed.

Pull x86 RAS updates from Thomas Gleixner:
- Fix a stack out of bounds write in the MCE error injection code.
- Avoid IPIs during CPU hotplug to read the MCx_MISC block address from
a remote CPU. That's fragile and pointless because the block
addresses are the same on all CPUs. So they can be read once and
local.
- Add support for MCE broadcasting on newer VIA Centaur CPUs.

Pull irq updates from Thomas Gleixner:
- Consolidation of softirq pending:
The softirq mask and its accessors/mutators have many implementations
scattered around many architectures. Most do the same things
consisting in a field in a per-cpu struct (often irq_cpustat_t)
accessed through per-cpu ops. We can provide instead a generic
efficient version that most of them can use. In fact s390 is the only
exception because the field is stored in lowcore.
- Support for level!?! triggered MSI (ARM)
Over the past couple of years, we've seen some SoCs coming up with
ways of signalling level interrupts using a new flavor of MSIs, where
the MSI controller uses two distinct messages: one that raises a
virtual line, and one that lowers it. The target MSI controller is in
charge of maintaining the state of the line.
This allows for a much simplified HW signal routing (no need to have
hundreds of discrete lines to signal level interrupts if you already
have a memory bus), but results in a departure from the current idea
the kernel has of MSIs.

Pull siginfo updates from Eric Biederman:
"This set of changes close the known issues with setting si_code to an
invalid value, and with not fully initializing struct siginfo. There
remains work to do on nds32, arc, unicore32, powerpc, arm, arm64, ia64
and x86 to get the code that generates siginfo into a simpler and more
maintainable state. Most of that work involves refactoring the signal
handling code and thus careful code review.
Also not included is the work to shrink the in kernel version of
struct siginfo. That depends on getting the number of places that
directly manipulate struct siginfo under control, as it requires the
introduction of struct kernel_siginfo for the in kernel things.
Overall this set of changes looks like it is making good progress, and
with a little luck I will be wrapping up the siginfo work next

"This is the last couple of vfs bits to enable root in a user namespace

virtual filesystem like proc, but a filesystem where the unprivileged

fuse, and Miklos should be sending you the pull request for the fuse
bits this merge window.
The two key patches are "evm: Don't update hmacs in user ns mounts"
and "vfs: Don't allow changing the link count of an inode with an
invalid uid or gid". Those close small gaps in the vfs that would be a
problem if an unprivileged fuse filesystem is mounted.
The rest of the changes are things that are now safe to allow a root
user in a user namespace to do with a filesystem they have mounted.

"User visible features:
- added support for the ioctl FS_IOC_FSGETXATTR, per-inode flags,
successor of GET/SETFLAGS; now supports only existing flags:
append, immutable, noatime, nodump, sync
- 3 new unprivileged ioctls to allow users to enumerate subvolumes
- dedupe syscall implementation does not restrict the range to 16MiB,
though it still splits the whole range to 16MiB chunks
- on user demand, rmdir() is able to delete an empty subvolume,
export the capability in sysfs
- fix inode number types in tracepoints, other cleanups
- send: improved speed when dealing with a large removed directory,
measurements show decrease from 2000 minutes to 2 minutes on a
directory with 2 million entries
- pre-commit check of superblock to detect a mysterious in-memory
corruption
- log message updates
Other changes:
- orphan inode cleanup improved, does no keep long-standing
reservations that could lead up to early ENOSPC in some cases
- slight improvement of handling snapshotted NOCOW files by avoiding
some unnecessary tree searches
- avoid OOM when dealing with many unmergeable small extents at flush
time
- speedup conversion of free space tree representations from/to
bitmap/tree
- code refactoring, deletion, cleanups:
+ delayed refs
+ delayed iput
+ redundant argument removals
+ memory barrier cleanups
+ remove a redundant mutex supposedly excluding several ioctls to
run in parallel
- new tracepoints for blockgroup manipulation
- more sanity checks of compressed headers"

We already earlier discouraged people from using this interface in
commit 88796e7e5c ("sched/swait: Document it clearly that the swait
facilities are special and shouldn't be used"), but I just got a pull
request with a new broken user.
So make the comment *really* clear.
The swait interfaces are bad, and should not be used unless you have
some *very* strong reasons that include tons of hard performance numbers
on just why you want to use them, and you show that you actually
understand that they aren't at all like the normal wait/wakeup
interfaces.
So far, every single user has been suspect. The main user is KVM, which
is completely pointless (there is only ever one waiter, which avoids the
interface subtleties, but also means that having a queue instead of a
pointer is counter-productive and certainly not an "optimization").
So make the comments much stronger.
Not that anybody likely reads them anyway, but there's always some
slight hope that it will cause somebody to think twice.
I'd like to remove this interface entirely, but there is the theoretical
possibility that it's actually the right thing to use in some situation,
most likely some deep RT use.

Quite a busy release for SPI, mainly as a result of Boris Brezillon's
work on improving the integration with MTD for accelerated SPI flash
controllers. He's added a new spi_mem interface which works a lot
better with general hardware and converted the users over to it, as a
result of this work we've got some MTD changes in here as well.
Other highlights include:
- Lots of spring cleaning for the s3c64xx driver.
- Removal of the bcm53xx, the hardware is also supported by the mspi
driver but SoC naming had caused people to miss the duplication.
- Conversion of the pxa2xx driver to use the standard message
processing loop rather than open coding.
- A bunch of improvements to the runtime PM of the OMAP McSPI driver.

Merge tag 'spi-v4.18' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/broonie/spi
Pull spi updates from Mark Brown:
"Quite a busy release for SPI, mainly as a result of Boris Brezillon's
work on improving the integration with MTD for accelerated SPI flash
controllers. He's added a new spi_mem interface which works a lot
better with general hardware and converted the users over to it, as a
result of this work we've got some MTD changes in here as well.
Other highlights include:
- Lots of spring cleaning for the s3c64xx driver.
- Removal of the bcm53xx, the hardware is also supported by the mspi
driver but SoC naming had caused people to miss the duplication.
- Conversion of the pxa2xx driver to use the standard message
processing loop rather than open coding.
- A bunch of improvements to the runtime PM of the OMAP McSPI driver"

Further changes from Dmitry related to the removal of platform data from
atmel_mxt_ts and chromeos_laptop. This time, we have some changes that
teach chromeos_laptop how to supply acpi properties for some input devices
so that the peripheral driver doesn't have to do dmi matching on some
Chromebook platforms.
Also adds the Chromebook Tablet switch driver, which is useful for x86
convertible Chromebooks.
Other misc. cleanup.

Clean up gfs2_iomap_alloc and gfs2_iomap_get. Document how
gfs2_iomap_alloc works: it now needs to be called separately after
gfs2_iomap_get where necessary; this will be used later by iomap write.
Move gfs2_iomap_ops into bmap.c.
Introduce a new gfs2_iomap_get_alloc helper and use it in
fallocate_chunk: gfs2_iomap_begin will become unsuitable for fallocate
with proper iomap write support.
In gfs2_block_map and fallocate_chunk, zero-initialize struct iomap.

In journaled data mode, we need to add each buffer head to the current
transaction. In ordered write mode, we only need to add the inode to
the ordered inode list. So far, both cases are handled in
gfs2_trans_add_data. This makes the code look misleading and is
inefficient for small block sizes as well. Handle both cases separately
instead.

Reimplement function hole_size based on a generic function for walking
the metadata tree and rename hole_size to gfs2_hole_size. While
previously, multiple invocations of hole_size were sometimes needed to
walk across the entire hole, the new implementation always returns the
entire hole at once (provided that the caller is interested in the total
size).

Function gfs2_free_extlen calculates the length of an extent of
free blocks that may be reserved. The end pointer was calculated as
end = start + bh->b_size but b_size is incorrect because the
bitmap usually stops prior to the end of the buffer data on
the last bitmap.
What this means is that when you do a write, you can reserve a
chunk of blocks that runs off the end of the last bitmap. For
example, I've got a file system where there is only one bitmap
for each rgrp, so ri_length==1. I saw cases in which iozone
tried to do a big write, grabbed a large block reservation,
chose rgrp 5464152, which has ri_data0 5464153 and ri_data 8188.
So 5464153 + 8188 = 5472341 which is the end of the rgrp.
When it grabbed a reservation it got back: 5470936, length 7229.
But 5470936 + 7229 = 5478165. So the reservation starts inside
the rgrp but runs 5824 blocks past the end of the bitmap.
This patch fixes the calculation so it won't exceed the last
bitmap. It also adds a BUG_ON to guard against overflows in the
future.
Signed-off-by: Bob Peterson <rpeterso@redhat.com>
Before this patch function gfs2_write_begin, upon discovering an
error, called gfs2_trim_blocks while the rgrp glock was still held.
That's because gfs2_inplace_release is not called until later.
This patch reorganizes the logic a bit so gfs2_inplace_release
is called to release the lock prior to the call to gfs2_trim_blocks,
thus preventing the glock recursion.
