The swapaccount kernel parameter without any values has been removed by
commit a2c8990aed ("memsw: remove noswapaccount kernel parameter") but
it seems that we didn't get rid of all the left overs.
Make sure that menuconfig help text and kernel-parameters.txt are clear
about value for the paramter and remove the stalled comment which is not
very much useful on its own.

The virtual console has (undocumented) module parameters to set the
colors for italic and underlined text, but the default text color was
hardcoded for some reason. This made it impossible to change the color
for startup messages, or to set the default for new virtual consoles.
Add a module parameter for that, and document the entire bunch.
Any hacker who thinks that a command prompt on a "black screen with
white font" is not supicious enough can now use the kernel parameter
vt.color=10 to get a nice, evil green.

This patch changes the "acpi_osi=" boot parameter implementation so
that:
1. "acpi_osi=!" can be used to disable all _OSI OS vendor strings by
default. It is meaningless to specify "acpi_osi=!" multiple
times as it can only affect the default state of the target _OSI
strings.
2. "acpi_osi=!*" can be used to remove all _OSI OS vendor strings
and all _OSI feature group strings. It is useful to specify
"acpi_osi=!*" multiple times through kernel command line to
override the current state of the target _OSI strings.

This patch introduces "acpi_osi=!" command line to force Linux replying
"UNSUPPORTED" to all of the _OSI strings. This patch is based on an
ACPICA enhancement - the new API acpi_update_interfaces().
The _OSI object provides the platform with the ability to query OSPM
to determine the set of ACPI related interfaces, behaviors, or
features that the operating system supports. The argument passed to
the _OSI is a string like the followings:
1. Feature Group String, examples include
Module Device
Processor Device
3.0 _SCP Extensions
Processor Aggregator Device
...
2. OS Vendor String, examples include
Linux
FreeBSD
Windows
...
There are AML codes provided in the ACPI namespace written in the
following style to determine OSPM interfaces / features:
Method(OSCK)
{
if (CondRefOf(_OSI, Local0))
{
if (\_OSI("Windows"))
{
Return (One)
}
if (\_OSI("Windows 2006"))
{
Return (Ones)
}
Return (Zero)
}
Return (Zero)
}
There is a debugging facility implemented in Linux. Users can pass
"acpi_osi=" boot parameters to the kernel to tune the _OSI evaluation
result so that certain AML codes can be executed. Current
implementation includes:
1. 'acpi_osi=' - this makes CondRefOf(_OSI, Local0) TRUE
2. 'acpi_osi="Windows"' - this makes \_OSI("Windows") TRUE
3. 'acpi_osi="!Windows"' - this makes \_OSI("Windows") FALSE
The function to implement this feature is also used as a quirk mechanism
in the Linux ACPI subystem.
When _OSI is evaluatated by the AML codes, ACPICA replies "SUPPORTED"
to all Windows operating system vendor strings. This is because
Windows operating systems return "SUPPORTED" if the argument to the
_OSI method specifies an earlier version of Windows. Please refer to
the following MSDN document:
How to Identify the Windows Version in ACPI by Using _OSI
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hardware/gg463275.aspx
This adds difficulties when developers want to feed specific Windows
operating system vendor string to the BIOS codes for debugging
purpose, multiple acpi_osi="!xxx" have to be specified in the command
line to force Linux replying "UNSUPPORTED" to the Windows OS vendor
strings listed in the AML codes.

were added to 3.10, which includes several bug fixes that have been
marked for stable.
As for new features, there were a few, but nothing to write to LWN about.
These include:
New function trigger called "dump" and "cpudump" that will cause
ftrace to dump its buffer to the console when the function is called.
The difference between "dump" and "cpudump" is that "dump" will dump
the entire contents of the ftrace buffer, where as "cpudump" will only
dump the contents of the ftrace buffer for the CPU that called the function.
Another small enhancement is a new sysctl switch called "traceoff_on_warning"
which, when enabled, will disable tracing if any WARN_ON() is triggered.
This is useful if you want to debug what caused a warning and do not
want to risk losing your trace data by the ring buffer overwriting the
data before you can disable it. There's also a kernel command line
option that will make this enabled at boot up called the same thing.

Pull power management and ACPI updates from Rafael Wysocki:
"This time the total number of ACPI commits is slightly greater than
the number of cpufreq commits, but Viresh Kumar (who works on cpufreq)
remains the most active patch submitter.
To me, the most significant change is the addition of offline/online
device operations to the driver core (with the Greg's blessing) and
the related modifications of the ACPI core hotplug code. Next are the
freezer updates from Colin Cross that should make the freezing of
tasks a bit less heavy weight.
We also have a couple of regression fixes, a number of fixes for
issues that have not been identified as regressions, two new drivers
and a bunch of cleanups all over.
Highlights:
- Hotplug changes to support graceful hot-removal failures.
It sometimes is necessary to fail device hot-removal operations
gracefully if they cannot be carried out completely. For example,
if memory from a memory module being hot-removed has been allocated
for the kernel's own use and cannot be moved elsewhere, it's
desirable to fail the hot-removal operation in a graceful way
rather than to crash the kernel, but currenty a success or a kernel
crash are the only possible outcomes of an attempted memory
hot-removal. Needless to say, that is not a very attractive
alternative and it had to be addressed.
However, in order to make it work for memory, I first had to make
it work for CPUs and for this purpose I needed to modify the ACPI
processor driver. It's been split into two parts, a resident one
handling the low-level initialization/cleanup and a modular one
playing the actual driver's role (but it binds to the CPU system
device objects rather than to the ACPI device objects representing
processors). That's been sort of like a live brain surgery on a
patient who's riding a bike.
So this is a little scary, but since we found and fixed a couple of
regressions it caused to happen during the early linux-next testing
(a month ago), nobody has complained.
As a bonus we remove some duplicated ACPI hotplug code, because the
ACPI-based CPU hotplug is now going to use the common ACPI hotplug
code.
- Lighter weight freezing of tasks.
These changes from Colin Cross and Mandeep Singh Baines are
targeted at making the freezing of tasks a bit less heavy weight
operation. They reduce the number of tasks woken up every time
during the freezing, by using the observation that the freezer
simply doesn't need to wake up some of them and wait for them all
to call refrigerator(). The time needed for the freezer to decide
to report a failure is reduced too.
Also reintroduced is the check causing a lockdep warining to
trigger when try_to_freeze() is called with locks held (which is
generally unsafe and shouldn't happen).
- cpufreq updates
First off, a commit from Srivatsa S Bhat fixes a resume regression
introduced during the 3.10 cycle causing some cpufreq sysfs
attributes to return wrong values to user space after resume. The
fix is kind of fresh, but also it's pretty obvious once Srivatsa
has identified the root cause.
Second, we have a new freqdomain_cpus sysfs attribute for the
acpi-cpufreq driver to provide information previously available via
related_cpus. From Lan Tianyu.
Finally, we fix a number of issues, mostly related to the
CPUFREQ_POSTCHANGE notifier and cpufreq Kconfig options and clean
up some code. The majority of changes from Viresh Kumar with bits
from Jacob Shin, Heiko Stübner, Xiaoguang Chen, Ezequiel Garcia,
Arnd Bergmann, and Tang Yuantian.
- ACPICA update
A usual bunch of updates from the ACPICA upstream.
During the 3.4 cycle we introduced support for ACPI 5 extended
sleep registers, but they are only supposed to be used if the
HW-reduced mode bit is set in the FADT flags and the code attempted
to use them without checking that bit. That caused suspend/resume
regressions to happen on some systems. Fix from Lv Zheng causes
those registers to be used only if the HW-reduced mode bit is set.
Apart from this some other ACPICA bugs are fixed and code cleanups
are made by Bob Moore, Tomasz Nowicki, Lv Zheng, Chao Guan, and
Zhang Rui.
- cpuidle updates
New driver for Xilinx Zynq processors is added by Michal Simek.
Multidriver support simplification, addition of some missing
kerneldoc comments and Kconfig-related fixes come from Daniel
Lezcano.
- ACPI power management updates
Changes to make suspend/resume work correctly in Xen guests from
Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk, sparse warning fix from Fengguang Wu and
cleanups and fixes of the ACPI device power state selection
routine.
- ACPI documentation updates
Some previously missing pieces of ACPI documentation are added by
Lv Zheng and Aaron Lu (hopefully, that will help people to
uderstand how the ACPI subsystem works) and one outdated doc is
updated by Hanjun Guo.
- Assorted ACPI updates
We finally nailed down the IA-64 issue that was the reason for
reverting commit 9f29ab11dd ("ACPI / scan: do not match drivers
against objects having scan handlers"), so we can fix it and move
the ACPI scan handler check added to the ACPI video driver back to
the core.
A mechanism for adding CMOS RTC address space handlers is
introduced by Lan Tianyu to allow some EC-related breakage to be
fixed on some systems.
A spec-compliant implementation of acpi_os_get_timer() is added by
Mika Westerberg.
The evaluation of _STA is added to do_acpi_find_child() to avoid
situations in which a pointer to a disabled device object is
returned instead of an enabled one with the same _ADR value. From
Jeff Wu.
Intel BayTrail PCH (Platform Controller Hub) support is added to
the ACPI driver for Intel Low-Power Subsystems (LPSS) and that
driver is modified to work around a couple of known BIOS issues.
Changes from Mika Westerberg and Heikki Krogerus.
The EC driver is fixed by Vasiliy Kulikov to use get_user() and
put_user() instead of dereferencing user space pointers blindly.
Code cleanups are made by Bjorn Helgaas, Nicholas Mazzuca and Toshi
Kani.
- Assorted power management updates
The "runtime idle" helper routine is changed to take the return
values of the callbacks executed by it into account and to call
rpm_suspend() if they return 0, which allows us to reduce the
overall code bloat a bit (by dropping some code that's not
necessary any more after that modification).
The runtime PM documentation is updated by Alan Stern (to reflect
the "runtime idle" behavior change).
New trace points for PM QoS are added by Sahara
(<keun-o.park@windriver.com>).
PM QoS documentation is updated by Lan Tianyu.
Code cleanups are made and minor issues are addressed by Bernie
Thompson, Bjorn Helgaas, Julius Werner, and Shuah Khan.
- devfreq updates
New driver for the Exynos5-bus device from Abhilash Kesavan.
Minor cleanups, fixes and MAINTAINERS update from MyungJoo Ham,

Pull workqueue changes from Tejun Heo:
"Surprisingly, Lai and I didn't break too many things implementing
custom pools and stuff last time around and there aren't any follow-up
changes necessary at this point.
The only change in this pull request is Viresh's patches to make some
per-cpu workqueues to behave as unbound workqueues dependent on a boot
param whose default can be configured via a config option. This leads
to higher processing overhead / lower bandwidth as more work items are
bounced across CPUs; however, it can lead to noticeable powersave in
certain configurations - ~10% w/ idlish constant workload on a
big.LITTLE configuration according to Viresh.
This is because per-cpu workqueues interfere with how the scheduler
perceives whether or not each CPU is idle by forcing pinned tasks on
them, which makes the scheduler's power-aware scheduling decisions
less effective.
Its effectiveness is likely less pronounced on homogenous
configurations and this type of optimization can probably be made
automatic; however, the changes are pretty minimal and the affected
workqueues are clearly marked, so it's an easy gain for some
configurations for the time being with pretty unintrusive changes."

Add a traceoff_on_warning option in both the kernel command line as well
as a sysctl option. When set, any WARN*() function that is hit will cause
the tracing_on variable to be cleared, which disables writing to the
ring buffer.
This is useful especially when tracing a bug with function tracing. When
a warning is hit, the print caused by the warning can flood the trace with
the functions that producing the output for the warning. This can make the
resulting trace useless by either hiding where the bug happened, or worse,
by overflowing the buffer and losing the trace of the bug totally.

Workqueues can be performance or power-oriented. Currently, most workqueues are
bound to the CPU they were created on. This gives good performance (due to cache
effects) at the cost of potentially waking up otherwise idle cores (Idle from
scheduler's perspective. Which may or may not be physically idle) just to
process some work. To save power, we can allow the work to be rescheduled on a
core that is already awake.
Workqueues created with the WQ_UNBOUND flag will allow some power savings.
However, we don't change the default behaviour of the system. To enable
power-saving behaviour, a new config option CONFIG_WQ_POWER_EFFICIENT needs to
be turned on. This option can also be overridden by the
workqueue.power_efficient boot parameter.

CONFIG_WQ_POWER_EFFICIENT to CONFIG_WQ_POWER_EFFICIENT_DEFAULT.

Pull 'full dynticks' support from Ingo Molnar:
"This tree from Frederic Weisbecker adds a new, (exciting! :-) core
kernel feature to the timer and scheduler subsystems: 'full dynticks',
or CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL=y.
This feature extends the nohz variable-size timer tick feature from
idle to busy CPUs (running at most one task) as well, potentially
reducing the number of timer interrupts significantly.
This feature got motivated by real-time folks and the -rt tree, but
the general utility and motivation of full-dynticks runs wider than
that:
- HPC workloads get faster: CPUs running a single task should be able
to utilize a maximum amount of CPU power. A periodic timer tick at
HZ=1000 can cause a constant overhead of up to 1.0%. This feature
removes that overhead - and speeds up the system by 0.5%-1.0% on
typical distro configs even on modern systems.
- Real-time workload latency reduction: CPUs running critical tasks
should experience as little jitter as possible. The last remaining
source of kernel-related jitter was the periodic timer tick.
- A single task executing on a CPU is a pretty common situation,
especially with an increasing number of cores/CPUs, so this feature
helps desktop and mobile workloads as well.
The cost of the feature is mainly related to increased timer
reprogramming overhead when a CPU switches its tick period, and thus
slightly longer to-idle and from-idle latency.
Configuration-wise a third mode of operation is added to the existing
two NOHZ kconfig modes:
- CONFIG_HZ_PERIODIC: [formerly !CONFIG_NO_HZ], now explicitly named
as a config option. This is the traditional Linux periodic tick
design: there's a HZ tick going on all the time, regardless of
whether a CPU is idle or not.
- CONFIG_NO_HZ_IDLE: [formerly CONFIG_NO_HZ=y], this turns off the
periodic tick when a CPU enters idle mode.
- CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL: this new mode, in addition to turning off the
tick when a CPU is idle, also slows the tick down to 1 Hz (one
timer interrupt per second) when only a single task is running on a
CPU.
The .config behavior is compatible: existing !CONFIG_NO_HZ and
CONFIG_NO_HZ=y settings get translated to the new values, without the
user having to configure anything. CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL is turned off by
default.
This feature is based on a lot of infrastructure work that has been
steadily going upstream in the last 2-3 cycles: related RCU support
and non-periodic cputime support in particular is upstream already.
This tree adds the final pieces and activates the feature. The pull
request is marked RFC because:
- it's marked 64-bit only at the moment - the 32-bit support patch is
small but did not get ready in time.
- it has a number of fresh commits that came in after the merge
window. The overwhelming majority of commits are from before the
merge window, but still some aspects of the tree are fresh and so I
marked it RFC.
- it's a pretty wide-reaching feature with lots of effects - and
while the components have been in testing for some time, the full
combination is still not very widely used. That it's default-off
should reduce its regression abilities and obviously there are no
known regressions with CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL=y enabled either.
- the feature is not completely idempotent: there is no 100%
equivalent replacement for a periodic scheduler/timer tick. In
particular there's ongoing work to map out and reduce its effects
on scheduler load-balancing and statistics. This should not impact
correctness though, there are no known regressions related to this
feature at this point.
- it's a pretty ambitious feature that with time will likely be
enabled by most Linux distros, and we'd like you to make input on
its design/implementation, if you dislike some aspect we missed.
Without flaming us to crisp! :-)
Future plans:
- there's ongoing work to reduce 1Hz to 0Hz, to essentially shut off
the periodic tick altogether when there's a single busy task on a
CPU. We'd first like 1 Hz to be exposed more widely before we go
for the 0 Hz target though.
- once we reach 0 Hz we can remove the periodic tick assumption from
nr_running>=2 as well, by essentially interrupting busy tasks only
as frequently as the sched_latency constraints require us to do -
once every 4-40 msecs, depending on nr_running.
I am personally leaning towards biting the bullet and doing this in
v3.10, like the -rt tree this effort has been going on for too long -
but the final word is up to you as usual.

Pull workqueue updates from Tejun Heo:
"A lot of activities on workqueue side this time. The changes achieve
the followings.
- WQ_UNBOUND workqueues - the workqueues which are per-cpu - are
updated to be able to interface with multiple backend worker pools.
This involved a lot of churning but the end result seems actually
neater as unbound workqueues are now a lot closer to per-cpu ones.
- The ability to interface with multiple backend worker pools are
used to implement unbound workqueues with custom attributes.
Currently the supported attributes are the nice level and CPU
affinity. It may be expanded to include cgroup association in
future. The attributes can be specified either by calling
apply_workqueue_attrs() or through /sys/bus/workqueue/WQ_NAME/* if
the workqueue in question is exported through sysfs.
The backend worker pools are keyed by the actual attributes and
shared by any workqueues which share the same attributes. When
attributes of a workqueue are changed, the workqueue binds to the
worker pool with the specified attributes while leaving the work
items which are already executing in its previous worker pools
alone.
This allows converting custom worker pool implementations which
want worker attribute tuning to use workqueues. The writeback pool
is already converted in block tree and there are a couple others
are likely to follow including btrfs io workers.
- WQ_UNBOUND's ability to bind to multiple worker pools is also used
to make it NUMA-aware. Because there's no association between work
item issuer and the specific worker assigned to execute it, before
this change, using unbound workqueue led to unnecessary cross-node
bouncing and it couldn't be helped by autonuma as it requires tasks
to have implicit node affinity and workers are assigned randomly.
After these changes, an unbound workqueue now binds to multiple
NUMA-affine worker pools so that queued work items are executed in
the same node. This is turned on by default but can be disabled
system-wide or for individual workqueues.
Crypto was requesting NUMA affinity as encrypting data across
different nodes can contribute noticeable overhead and doing it
per-cpu was too limiting for certain cases and IO throughput could
be bottlenecked by one CPU being fully occupied while others have
idle cycles.
While the new features required a lot of changes including
restructuring locking, it didn't complicate the execution paths much.
The unbound workqueue handling is now closer to per-cpu ones and the
new features are implemented by simply associating a workqueue with
different sets of backend worker pools without changing queue,
execution or flush paths.
As such, even though the amount of change is very high, I feel
relatively safe in that it isn't likely to cause subtle issues with
basic correctness of work item execution and handling. If something
is wrong, it's likely to show up as being associated with worker pools
with the wrong attributes or OOPS while workqueue attributes are being
changed or during CPU hotplug.
While this creates more backend worker pools, it doesn't add too many
more workers unless, of course, there are many workqueues with unique
combinations of attributes. Assuming everything else is the same,
NUMA awareness costs an extra worker pool per NUMA node with online
CPUs.
There are also a couple things which are being routed outside the
workqueue tree.
- block tree pulled in workqueue for-3.10 so that writeback worker
pool can be converted to unbound workqueue with sysfs control
exposed. This simplifies the code, makes writeback workers
NUMA-aware and allows tuning nice level and CPU affinity via sysfs.
- The conversion to workqueue means that there's no 1:1 association
between a specific worker, which makes writeback folks unhappy as
they want to be able to tell which filesystem caused a problem from
backtrace on systems with many filesystems mounted. This is
resolved by allowing work items to set debug info string which is

Along with the usual minor fixes and clean ups there are a few major
changes with this pull request.
1) Multiple buffers for the ftrace facility
This feature has been requested by many people over the last few years.
I even heard that Google was about to implement it themselves. I finally
had time and cleaned up the code such that you can now create multiple
instances of the ftrace buffer and have different events go to different
buffers. This way, a low frequency event will not be lost in the noise
of a high frequency event.
Note, currently only events can go to different buffers, the tracers
(ie. function, function_graph and the latency tracers) still can only
be written to the main buffer.
2) The function tracer triggers have now been extended.
The function tracer had two triggers. One to enable tracing when a
function is hit, and one to disable tracing. Now you can record a
stack trace on a single (or many) function(s), take a snapshot of the
buffer (copy it to the snapshot buffer), and you can enable or disable
an event to be traced when a function is hit.
3) A perf clock has been added.
A "perf" clock can be chosen to be used when tracing. This will cause
ftrace to use the same clock as perf uses, and hopefully this will make
it easier to interleave the perf and ftrace data for analysis.

Pull kdump fixes from Peter Anvin:
"The kexec/kdump people have found several problems with the support

After a *lot* of iterations this is the patchset that was agreed upon,
but of course it is now very late in the cycle. However, because it
changes both the syntax and semantics of the crashkernel option, it
would be desirable to avoid a stable release with the broken

We need full dynticks CPU to also be RCU nocb so
that we don't have to keep the tick to handle RCU

The CPUs that fail to meet this requirement will be
excluded from the nohz_full range. This is checked

The timekeeping job must be able to run early on boot
because there may be some pre-SMP (and thus pre-initcalls )
components that rely on it. The IO-APIC is one such users
as it tests the timer health by watching jiffies progression.
Given that it happens before we know the initial online
set, we can't rely on it to select a timekeeper. We need
one before SMP time otherwise we simply crash on boot.
To fix this and keep things simple for now, force the boot CPU
outside of the full dynticks range in any case and do this early
on kernel parameter parsing time.
We might want a trickier solution later, expecially for aSMP
architectures that need to assign housekeeping tasks to arbitrary
low power CPUs.
But it's still first pass KISS time for now.

Chao said that kdump does does work well on his system on 3.8
without extra parameter, even iommu does not work with kdump.
And now have to append crashkernel_low=Y in first kernel to make
kdump work.
We have now modified crashkernel=X to allocate memory beyong 4G (if
available) and do not allocate low range for crashkernel if the user
does not specify that with crashkernel_low=Y. This causes regression
if iommu is not enabled. Without iommu, swiotlb needs to be setup in
first 4G and there is no low memory available to second kernel.
Set crashkernel_low automatically if the user does not specify that.
For system that does support IOMMU with kdump properly, user could
specify crashkernel_low=0 to save that 72M low ram.
-v3: add swiotlb_size() according to Konrad.

"Extended nohz" was used as a naming base for the full dynticks
API and Kconfig symbols. It reflects the fact the system tries
to stop the tick in more places than just idle.
But that "extended" name is a bit opaque and vague. Rename it to
"full" makes it clearer what the system tries to do under this
config: try to shutdown the tick anytime it can. The various
constraints that prevent that to happen shouldn't be considered
as fundamental properties of this feature but rather technical
issues that may be solved in the future.

Unbound workqueues are now NUMA aware. Let's add some control knobs
and update sysfs interface accordingly.
* Add kernel param workqueue.numa_disable which disables NUMA affinity
globally.
* Replace sysfs file "pool_id" with "pool_ids" which contain
node:pool_id pairs. This change is userland-visible but "pool_id"
hasn't seen a release yet, so this is okay.
* Add a new sysf files "numa" which can toggle NUMA affinity on
individual workqueues. This is implemented as attrs->no_numa whichn
is special in that it isn't part of a pool's attributes. It only
affects how apply_workqueue_attrs() picks which pools to use.
After "pool_ids" change, first_pwq() doesn't have any user left.

Because RCU callbacks are now associated with the number of the grace
period that they must wait for, CPUs can now take advance callbacks
corresponding to grace periods that ended while a given CPU was in
dyntick-idle mode. This eliminates the need to try forcing the RCU
state machine while entering idle, thus reducing the CPU intensiveness
of RCU_FAST_NO_HZ, which should increase its energy efficiency.

Currently, the per-no-CBs-CPU kthreads are named "rcuo" followed by
the CPU number, for example, "rcuo". This is problematic given that
there are either two or three RCU flavors, each of which gets a per-CPU
kthread with exactly the same name. This commit therefore introduces
a one-letter abbreviation for each RCU flavor, namely 'b' for RCU-bh,
'p' for RCU-preempt, and 's' for RCU-sched. This abbreviation is used
to distinguish the "rcuo" kthreads, for example, for CPU 0 we would have
"rcuob/0", "rcuop/0", and "rcuos/0".

For extreme usecases such as Real Time or HPC, having
the ability to shutdown the tick when a single task runs
on a CPU is a desired feature:
* Reducing the amount of interrupts improves throughput
for CPU-bound tasks. The CPU is less distracted from its
real job, from an execution time and from the cache point
of views.
* This also improve latency response as we have less critical
sections.
Start with introducing a very simple interface to define
full dynticks CPU: use a boot time option defined cpumask
through the "nohz_extended=" kernel parameter. CPUs that
are part of this range will have their tick shutdown
whenever possible: provided they run a single task and
they don't do kernel activity that require the periodic
tick. These details will be later documented in
Documentation/*
An online CPU must be kept outside this range to handle the
timekeeping.

If debugging the kernel, and the developer wants to use
tracing_snapshot() in places where tracing_snapshot_alloc() may
be difficult (or more likely, the developer is lazy and doesn't
want to bother with tracing_snapshot_alloc() at all), then adding
alloc_snapshot
to the kernel command line parameter will tell ftrace to allocate
the snapshot buffer (if configured) when it allocates the main
tracing buffer.
I also noticed that ring_buffer_expanded and tracing_selftest_disabled

Don Morris reproduced on a HP z620 workstation, and bisected it to
commit e8d1955258 ("acpi, memory-hotplug: parse SRAT before memblock
is ready")
It turns out movable_map has some problems, and it breaks several things
1. numa_init is called several times, NOT just for srat. so those
nodes_clear(numa_nodes_parsed)
memset(&numa_meminfo, 0, sizeof(numa_meminfo))
can not be just removed. Need to consider sequence is: numaq, srat, amd, dummy.
and make fall back path working.
2. simply split acpi_numa_init to early_parse_srat.
a. that early_parse_srat is NOT called for ia64, so you break ia64.
b. for (i = 0; i < MAX_LOCAL_APIC; i++)
set_apicid_to_node(i, NUMA_NO_NODE)
still left in numa_init. So it will just clear result from early_parse_srat.
it should be moved before that....
c. it breaks ACPI_TABLE_OVERIDE...as the acpi table scan is moved
early before override from INITRD is settled.
3. that patch TITLE is total misleading, there is NO x86 in the title,
but it changes critical x86 code. It caused x86 guys did not
pay attention to find the problem early. Those patches really should
be routed via tip/x86/mm.
4. after that commit, following range can not use movable ram:
a. real_mode code.... well..funny, legacy Node0 [0,1M) could be hot-removed?
b. initrd... it will be freed after booting, so it could be on movable...
c. crashkernel for kdump...: looks like we can not put kdump kernel above 4G
anymore.
d. init_mem_mapping: can not put page table high anymore.
e. initmem_init: vmemmap can not be high local node anymore. That is
not good.
If node is hotplugable, the mem related range like page table and
vmemmap could be on the that node without problem and should be on that
node.
We have workaround patch that could fix some problems, but some can not
be fixed.
So just remove that offending commit and related ones including:
f7210e6c4a ("mm/memblock.c: use CONFIG_HAVE_MEMBLOCK_NODE_MAP to
protect movablecore_map in memblock_overlaps_region().")
01a178a94e ("acpi, memory-hotplug: support getting hotplug info from
SRAT")
27168d38fa ("acpi, memory-hotplug: extend movablemem_map ranges to
the end of node")

42f47e27e7 ("page_alloc: make movablemem_map have higher priority")

movable limit for nodes")
34b71f1e04 ("page_alloc: add movable_memmap kernel parameter")
4d59a75125 ("x86: get pg_data_t's memory from other node")
Later we should have patches that will make sure kernel put page table
and vmemmap on local node ram instead of push them down to node0. Also
need to find way to put other kernel used ram to local node ram.

We now provide an option for users who don't want to specify physical
memory address in kernel commandline.
/*
* For movablemem_map=acpi:
*
* SRAT: |_____| |_____| |_________| |_________| ......
* node id: 0 1 1 2
* hotpluggable: n y y n
* movablemem_map: |_____| |_________|
*
* Using movablemem_map, we can prevent memblock from allocating memory
* on ZONE_MOVABLE at boot time.
*/
So user just specify movablemem_map=acpi, and the kernel will use
hotpluggable info in SRAT to determine which memory ranges should be set
as ZONE_MOVABLE.
If all the memory ranges in SRAT is hotpluggable, then no memory can be
used by kernel. But before parsing SRAT, memblock has already reserve
some memory ranges for other purposes, such as for kernel image, and so
on. We cannot prevent kernel from using these memory. So we need to
exclude these ranges even if these memory is hotpluggable.
Furthermore, there could be several memory ranges in the single node
which the kernel resides in. We may skip one range that have memory
reserved by memblock, but if the rest of memory is too small, then the
kernel will fail to boot. So, make the whole node which the kernel
resides in un-hotpluggable. Then the kernel has enough memory to use.
NOTE: Using this way will cause NUMA performance down because the
whole node will be set as ZONE_MOVABLE, and kernel cannot use memory
on it. If users don't want to lose NUMA performance, just don't use
it.

Pull x86 mm changes from Peter Anvin:
"This is a huge set of several partly interrelated (and concurrently
developed) changes, which is why the branch history is messier than
one would like.
The *really* big items are two humonguous patchsets mostly developed
by Yinghai Lu at my request, which completely revamps the way we
create initial page tables. In particular, rather than estimating how
much memory we will need for page tables and then build them into that
memory -- a calculation that has shown to be incredibly fragile -- we
now build them (on 64 bits) with the aid of a "pseudo-linear mode" --
a #PF handler which creates temporary page tables on demand.
This has several advantages:
1. It makes it much easier to support things that need access to data
very early (a followon patchset uses this to load microcode way
early in the kernel startup).
2. It allows the kernel and all the kernel data objects to be invoked
from above the 4 GB limit. This allows kdump to work on very large
systems.
3. It greatly reduces the difference between Xen and native (Xen's
equivalent of the #PF handler are the temporary page tables created
by the domain builder), eliminating a bunch of fragile hooks.
The patch series also gets us a bit closer to W^X.
Additional work in this pull is the 64-bit get_user() work which you
were also involved with, and a bunch of cleanups/speedups to
__phys_addr()/__pa()."

Remove 32-bit x86 a cmdline param "no-hlt",
and the cpuinfo_x86.hlt_works_ok that it sets.
If a user wants to avoid HLT, then "idle=poll"
is much more useful, as it avoids invocation of HLT
in idle, while "no-hlt" failed to do so.
Indeed, hlt_works_ok was consulted in only 3 places.
First, in /proc/cpuinfo where "hlt_bug yes"
would be printed if and only if the user booted
the system with "no-hlt" -- as there was no other code
to set that flag.
Second, check_hlt() would not invoke halt() if "no-hlt"
were on the cmdline.
Third, it was consulted in stop_this_cpu(), which is invoked
by native_machine_halt()/reboot_interrupt()/smp_stop_nmi_callback() --
all cases where the machine is being shutdown/reset.
The flag was not consulted in the more frequently invoked
play_dead()/hlt_play_dead() used in processor offline and suspend.
Since Linux-3.0 there has been a run-time notice upon "no-hlt" invocations
indicating that it would be removed in 2012.

mwait_idle() is a C1-only idle loop intended to be more efficient
than HLT, starting on Pentium-4 HT-enabled processors.
But mwait_idle() has been replaced by the more general
mwait_idle_with_hints(), which handles both C1 and deeper C-states.
ACPI processor_idle and intel_idle use only mwait_idle_with_hints(),
and no longer use mwait_idle().
Here we simplify the x86 native idle code by removing mwait_idle(),
and the "idle=mwait" bootparam used to invoke it.
Since Linux 3.0 there has been a boot-time warning when "idle=mwait"
was invoked saying it would be removed in 2012. This removal
was also noted in the (now removed:-) feature-removal-schedule.txt.
After this change, kernels configured with
(CONFIG_ACPI=n && CONFIG_INTEL_IDLE=n) when run on hardware
that supports MWAIT will simply use HLT. If MWAIT is desired
on those systems, cpuidle and the cpuidle drivers above
can be enabled.

During kdump kernel's booting stage, it need to find low ram for

with "Crash kernel", and that range is above 4G for 64bit after boot
protocol 2.12.
We need to add another range in /proc/iomem like "Crash kernel low",
so kexec-tools could find that info and append to kdump kernel
command line.
Try to reserve some under 4G if the normal "Crash kernel" is above 4G.

The as-documented rcu_nocb_poll will fail to enable this feature
for two reasons. (1) there is an extra "s" in the documented
name which is not in the code, and (2) since it uses module_param,
it really is expecting a prefix, akin to "rcutree.fanout_leaf"
and the prefix isn't documented.
However, there are several reasons why we might not want to
simply fix the typo and add the prefix:
1) we'd end up with rcutree.rcu_nocb_poll, and rather probably make
a change to rcutree.nocb_poll
2) if we did #1, then the prefix wouldn't be consistent with the
rcu_nocbs=<cpumap> parameter (i.e. one with, one without prefix)
3) the use of module_param in a header file is less than desired,
since it isn't immediately obvious that it will get processed
via rcutree.c and get the prefix from that (although use of
module_param_named() could clarify that.)
4) the implied export of /sys/module/rcutree/parameters/rcu_nocb_poll
data to userspace via module_param() doesn't really buy us anything,
as it is read-only and we can tell if it is enabled already without
it, since there is a printk at early boot telling us so.
In light of all that, just change it from a module_param() to an
early_setup() call, and worry about adding it to /sys later on if
we decide to allow a dynamic setting of it.
Also change the variable to be tagged as read_mostly, since it
will only ever be fiddled with at most, once at boot.

Pull Automatic NUMA Balancing bare-bones from Mel Gorman:
"There are three implementations for NUMA balancing, this tree
(balancenuma), numacore which has been developed in tip/master and
autonuma which is in aa.git.
In almost all respects balancenuma is the dumbest of the three because
its main impact is on the VM side with no attempt to be smart about
scheduling. In the interest of getting the ball rolling, it would be
desirable to see this much merged for 3.8 with the view to building
scheduler smarts on top and adapting the VM where required for 3.9.
The most recent set of comparisons available from different people are
mel: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/12/9/108
mingo: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/12/7/331
tglx: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/12/10/437
srikar: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/12/10/397
The results are a mixed bag. In my own tests, balancenuma does
reasonably well. It's dumb as rocks and does not regress against
mainline. On the other hand, Ingo's tests shows that balancenuma is
incapable of converging for this workloads driven by perf which is bad
but is potentially explained by the lack of scheduler smarts. Thomas'
results show balancenuma improves on mainline but falls far short of
numacore or autonuma. Srikar's results indicate we all suffer on a
large machine with imbalanced node sizes.
My own testing showed that recent numacore results have improved
dramatically, particularly in the last week but not universally.
We've butted heads heavily on system CPU usage and high levels of
migration even when it shows that overall performance is better.
There are also cases where it regresses. Of interest is that for
specjbb in some configurations it will regress for lower numbers of
warehouses and show gains for higher numbers which is not reported by
the tool by default and sometimes missed in treports. Recently I
reported for numacore that the JVM was crashing with
NullPointerExceptions but currently it's unclear what the source of
this problem is. Initially I thought it was in how numacore batch
handles PTEs but I'm no longer think this is the case. It's possible
numacore is just able to trigger it due to higher rates of migration.
These reports were quite late in the cycle so I/we would like to start
with this tree as it contains much of the code we can agree on and has
not changed significantly over the last 2-3 weeks."

Pull x86 BSP hotplug changes from Ingo Molnar:
"This tree enables CPU#0 (the boot processor) to be onlined/offlined on
x86, just like any other CPU. Enabled on Intel CPUs for now.
Allowing this required the identification and fixing of latent CPU#0
assumptions (such as CPU#0 initializations, etc.) in the x86
architecture code, plus the identification of barriers to
BSP-offlining, such as active PIC interrupts which can only be
serviced on the BSP.
It's behind a default-off option, and there's a debug option that
allows the automatic testing of this feature.
The motivation of this feature is to allow and prepare for true
CPU-hotplug hardware support: recent changes to MCE support enable us
to detect a deteriorating but not yet hard-failing L1/L2 cache on a
CPU that could be soft-unplugged - or a failing L3 cache on a
multi-socket system.
Note that true hardware hot-plug is not yet fully enabled by this,
because that requires a special platform wakeup sequence to be sent to
the freshly powered up CPU#0. Future patches for this are planned,
once such a platform exists. Chicken and egg"

of such a switch was and is very important when debugging problems
related to transparent hugepages and we should have the same for

RCU callback execution can add significant OS jitter and also can
degrade both scheduling latency and, in asymmetric multiprocessors,
energy efficiency. This commit therefore adds the ability for selected
CPUs ("rcu_nocbs=" boot parameter) to have their callbacks offloaded
to kthreads. If the "rcu_nocb_poll" boot parameter is also specified,
these kthreads will do polling, removing the need for the offloaded
CPUs to do wakeups. At least one CPU must be doing normal callback
processing: currently CPU 0 cannot be selected as a no-CBs CPU.
In addition, attempts to offline the last normal-CBs CPU will fail.
This feature was inspired by Jim Houston's and Joe Korty's JRCU, and
this commit includes fixes to problems located by Fengguang Wu's
kbuild test robot.

If CONFIG_BOOTPARAM_HOTPLUG_CPU0 is turned on, CPU0 is hotpluggable. Otherwise,
by default CPU0 is not hotpluggable and kernel parameter cpu0_hotplug enables
CPU0 online/offline feature.
The documentations point out two known CPU0 dependencies. First, resume from
hibernate or suspend always starts from CPU0. So hibernate and suspend are
prevented if CPU0 is offline. Another dependency is PIC interrupts always go
to CPU0.
It's said that some machines may depend on CPU0 to poweroff/reboot. But I
haven't seen such dependency on a few tested machines.
Please let me know if you see any CPU0 dependencies on your machine.

Add trace_options to the kernel command line parameter to be able to
set options at early boot. For example, to enable stack dumps of
events, add the following:
trace_options=stacktrace
This along with the trace_event option, you can get not only
traces of the events but also the stack dumps with them.

If the TSC deadline mode is supported, LAPIC timer one-shot mode can be
implemented using IA32_TSC_DEADLINE MSR. An interrupt will be generated
when the TSC value equals or exceeds the value in the IA32_TSC_DEADLINE
MSR.
This enables us to skip the APIC calibration during boot. Also, in
xapic mode, this enables us to skip the uncached apic access to re-arm
the APIC timer.
As this timer ticks at the high frequency TSC rate, we use the
TSC_DIVISOR (32) to work with the 32-bit restrictions in the
clockevent API's to avoid 64-bit divides etc (frequency is u32 and
"unsigned long" in the set_next_event(), max_delta limits the next
event to 32-bit for 32-bit kernel).

We do a very simple search for a particular string appended to the module
(which is cache-hot and about to be SHA'd anyway). There's both a config
option and a boot parameter which control whether we accept or fail with
unsigned modules and modules that are signed with an unknown key.
If module signing is enabled, the kernel will be tainted if a module is
loaded that is unsigned or has a signature for which we don't have the
key.

An optional boot parameter is introduced to allow client
administrators to specify a string that the Linux NFS client can
insert into its nfs_client_id4 id string, to make it both more
globally unique, and to ensure that it doesn't change even if the
client's nodename changes.
If this boot parameter is not specified, the client's nodename is
used, as before.
Client installation procedures can create a unique string (typically,
a UUID) which remains unchanged during the lifetime of that client
instance. This works just like creating a UUID for the label of the
system's root and boot volumes.

Although almost everyone is well-served by the defaults, some uses of RCU
benefit from shorter grace periods, while others benefit more from the
greater efficiency provided by longer grace periods. Situations requiring
a large number of grace periods to elapse (and wireshark startup has
been called out as an example of this) are helped by lower-latency
grace periods. Furthermore, in some embedded applications, people are
willing to accept a small degradation in update efficiency (due to there
being more of the shorter grace-period operations) in order to gain the
lower latency.
In contrast, those few systems with thousands of CPUs need longer grace
periods because the CPU overhead of a grace period rises roughly
linearly with the number of CPUs. Such systems normally do not make
much use of facilities that require large numbers of grace periods to
elapse, so this is a good tradeoff.
Therefore, this commit allows the durations to be controlled from sysfs.
There are two sysfs parameters, one named "jiffies_till_first_fqs" that
specifies the delay in jiffies from the end of grace-period initialization
until the first attempt to force quiescent states, and the other named
"jiffies_till_next_fqs" that specifies the delay (again in jiffies)
between subsequent attempts to force quiescent states. They both default
to three jiffies, which is compatible with the old hard-coded behavior.
At some future time, it may be possible to automatically increase the
grace-period length with the number of CPUs, but we do not yet have
sufficient data to do a good job. Preliminary data indicates that we
should add an addiitonal jiffy to each of the delays for every 200 CPUs
in the system, but more experimentation is needed. For now, the number
of systems with more than 1,000 CPUs is small enough that this can be
relegated to boot-time hand tuning.

Unlike the IMA measurement policy, the appraise policy can not be dependent
on runtime process information, such as the task uid, as the 'security.ima'
xattr is written on file close and must be updated each time the file changes,
regardless of the current task uid.
This patch extends the policy language with 'fowner', defines an appraise
policy, which appraises all files owned by root, and defines 'ima_appraise_tcb',
a new boot command line option, to enable the appraise policy.
Changelog v3:
- separate the measure from the appraise rules in order to support measuring
without appraising and appraising without measuring.
- change appraisal default for filesystems without xattr support to fail
- update default appraise policy for cgroups
Changelog v1:
- don't appraise RAMFS (Dmitry Kasatkin)
- merged rest of "ima: ima_must_appraise_or_measure API change" commit
(Dmtiry Kasatkin)
ima_must_appraise_or_measure() called ima_match_policy twice, which
searched the policy for a matching rule. Once for a matching measurement
rule and subsequently for an appraisal rule. Searching the policy twice
is unnecessary overhead, which could be noticeable with a large policy.
The new version of ima_must_appraise_or_measure() does everything in a
single iteration using a new version of ima_match_policy(). It returns
IMA_MEASURE, IMA_APPRAISE mask.
With the use of action mask only one efficient matching function
is enough. Removed other specific versions of matching functions.
Changelog:
- change 'owner' to 'fowner' to conform to the new LSM conditions posted by
Roberto Sassu.
- fix calls to ima_log_string()

IMA currently maintains an integrity measurement list used to assert the
integrity of the running system to a third party. The IMA-appraisal
extension adds local integrity validation and enforcement of the
measurement against a "good" value stored as an extended attribute
'security.ima'. The initial methods for validating 'security.ima' are
hashed based, which provides file data integrity, and digital signature
based, which in addition to providing file data integrity, provides
authenticity.
This patch creates and maintains the 'security.ima' xattr, containing
the file data hash measurement. Protection of the xattr is provided by
EVM, if enabled and configured.
Based on policy, IMA calls evm_verifyxattr() to verify a file's metadata
integrity and, assuming success, compares the file's current hash value
with the one stored as an extended attribute in 'security.ima'.
Changelov v4:
- changed iint cache flags to hex values
Changelog v3:
- change appraisal default for filesystems without xattr support to fail
Changelog v2:
- fix audit msg 'res' value
- removed unused 'ima_appraise=' values
Changelog v1:
- removed unused iint mutex (Dmitry Kasatkin)
- setattr hook must not reset appraised (Dmitry Kasatkin)
- evm_verifyxattr() now differentiates between no 'security.evm' xattr
(INTEGRITY_NOLABEL) and no EVM 'protected' xattrs included in the
'security.evm' (INTEGRITY_NOXATTRS).
- replace hash_status with ima_status (Dmitry Kasatkin)
- re-initialize slab element ima_status on free (Dmitry Kasatkin)
- include 'security.ima' in EVM if CONFIG_IMA_APPRAISE, not CONFIG_IMA
- merged half "ima: ima_must_appraise_or_measure API change" (Dmitry Kasatkin)
- removed unnecessary error variable in process_measurement() (Dmitry Kasatkin)
- use ima_inode_post_setattr() stub function, if IMA_APPRAISE not configured
(moved ima_inode_post_setattr() to ima_appraise.c)
- make sure ima_collect_measurement() can read file
Changelog:
- add 'iint' to evm_verifyxattr() call (Dimitry Kasatkin)
- fix the race condition between chmod, which takes the i_mutex and then
iint->mutex, and ima_file_free() and process_measurement(), which take
the locks in the reverse order, by eliminating iint->mutex. (Dmitry Kasatkin)
- cleanup of ima_appraise_measurement() (Dmitry Kasatkin)
- changes as a result of the iint not allocated for all regular files, but
only for those measured/appraised.
- don't try to appraise new/empty files
- expanded ima_appraisal description in ima/Kconfig
- IMA appraise definitions required even if IMA_APPRAISE not enabled
- add return value to ima_must_appraise() stub
- unconditionally set status = INTEGRITY_PASS *after* testing status,
not before. (Found by Joe Perches)

We still patch SMP instructions to UP variants if we boot with a
single CPU, but not at any other time. In particular, not if we
unplug CPUs to return to a single cpu.
Paul McKenney points out:
mean offline overhead is 6251/48=130.2 milliseconds.
If I remove the alternatives_smp_switch() from the offline
path [...] the mean offline overhead is 550/42=13.1 milliseconds
Basically, we're never going to get those 120ms back, and the
code is pretty messy.
We get rid of:
1) The "smp-alt-once" boot option. It's actually "smp-alt-boot", the
documentation is wrong. It's now the default.
2) The skip_smp_alternatives flag used by suspend.
3) arch_disable_nonboot_cpus_begin() and arch_disable_nonboot_cpus_end()
which were only used to set this one flag.

Another IOMMU-API change written by be is the introduction of domain

Although making RCU_FANOUT_LEAF a kernel configuration parameter rather
than a fixed constant makes it easier for people to decrease cache-miss
overhead for large systems, it is of little help for people who must
run a single pre-built kernel binary.
This commit therefore allows the value of RCU_FANOUT_LEAF to be
increased (but not decreased!) via a boot-time parameter named
rcutree.rcu_fanout_leaf.

The iommu=group_mf is really no longer needed with the addition of ACS
support in IOMMU drivers creating groups. Most multifunction devices
will now be grouped already. If a device has gone to the trouble of
exposing ACS, trust that it works. We can use the device specific ACS
function for fixing devices we trust individually. This largely
reverts bcb71abe.

Pull CMA and ARM DMA-mapping updates from Marek Szyprowski:
"These patches contain two major updates for DMA mapping subsystem
(mainly for ARM architecture). First one is Contiguous Memory
Allocator (CMA) which makes it possible for device drivers to allocate
big contiguous chunks of memory after the system has booted.
The main difference from the similar frameworks is the fact that CMA
allows to transparently reuse the memory region reserved for the big
chunk allocation as a system memory, so no memory is wasted when no
big chunk is allocated. Once the alloc request is issued, the
framework migrates system pages to create space for the required big
chunk of physically contiguous memory.
For more information one can refer to nice LWN articles:
- 'A reworked contiguous memory allocator':
http://lwn.net/Articles/447405/
- 'CMA and ARM':
http://lwn.net/Articles/450286/
- 'A deep dive into CMA':
http://lwn.net/Articles/486301/
- and the following thread with the patches and links to all previous
versions:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/4/3/204
The main client for this new framework is ARM DMA-mapping subsystem.
The second part provides a complete redesign in ARM DMA-mapping
subsystem. The core implementation has been changed to use common
struct dma_map_ops based infrastructure with the recent updates for
new dma attributes merged in v3.4-rc2. This allows to use more than
one implementation of dma-mapping calls and change/select them on the
struct device basis. The first client of this new infractructure is
dmabounce implementation which has been completely cut out of the
core, common code.
The last patch of this redesign update introduces a new, experimental
implementation of dma-mapping calls on top of generic IOMMU framework.
This lets ARM sub-platform to transparently use IOMMU for DMA-mapping
calls if one provides required IOMMU hardware.
For more information please refer to the following thread:
http://www.spinics.net/lists/arm-kernel/msg175729.html
The last patch merges changes from both updates and provides a
resolution for the conflicts which cannot be avoided when patches have
been applied on the same files (mainly arch/arm/mm/dma-mapping.c)."

Let the user decide whether power consumption or jitter is the
more important consideration for their machines.
Quoting removal commit af5ab277de:
"Historically, Linux has tried to make the regular timer tick on the
various CPUs not happen at the same time, to avoid contention on
xtime_lock.
Nowadays, with the tickless kernel, this contention no longer happens
since time keeping and updating are done differently. In addition,
this skew is actually hurting power consumption in a measurable way on
many-core systems."
Problems:
- Contrary to the above, systems do encounter contention on both
xtime_lock and RCU structure locks when the tick is synchronized.
- Moderate sized RT systems suffer intolerable jitter due to the tick
being synchronized.
- SGI reports the same for their large systems.
- Fully utilized systems reap no power saving benefit from skew removal,
but do suffer from resulting induced lock contention.
- 0209f649 rcu: limit rcu_node leaf-level fanout
This patch was born to combat lock contention which testing showed
to have been _induced by_ skew removal. Skew the tick, contention
disappeared virtually completely.

Pull main drm updates from Dave Airlie:
"This is the main merge window request for the drm.
It's big, but jam packed will lots of features and of course 0
regressions. (okay maybe there'll be one).
Highlights:
- new KMS drivers for server GPU chipsets: ast, mgag200 and cirrus
(qemu only). These drivers use the generic modesetting drivers.
- initial prime/dma-buf support for i915, nouveau, radeon, udl and
exynos
- switcheroo audio support: so GPUs with HDMI can turn off the sound
driver without crashing stuff.
- There are some patches drifting outside drivers/gpu into x86 and
EFI for better handling of multiple video adapters in Apple Macs,
they've got correct acks except one trivial fixup.
- Core:
edid parser has better DMT and reduced blanking support,
crtc properties,
plane properties,
- Drivers:
exynos: add 2D core accel support, prime support, hdmi features
intel: more Haswell support, initial Valleyview support, more
hdmi infoframe fixes, update MAINTAINERS for Daniel, lots of
cleanups and fixes
radeon: more HDMI audio support, improved GPU lockup recovery
support, remove nested mutexes, less memory copying on PCIE, fix
bus master enable race (kexec), improved fence handling
gma500: cleanups, 1080p support, acpi fixes
nouveau: better nva3 memory reclocking, kepler accel (needs
external firmware rip), async buffer moves on nv84+ hw.
I've some more dma-buf patches that rely on the dma-buf merge for vmap
stuff, and I've a few fixes building up, but I'd decided I'd better
get rid of the main pull sooner rather than later, so the audio guys
are also unblocked."

Pull the MCA deletion branch from Paul Gortmaker:
"It was good that we could support MCA machines back in the day, but
realistically, nobody is using them anymore. They were mostly limited
to 386-sx 16MHz CPU and some 486 class machines and never more than
64MB of RAM. Even the enthusiast hobbyist community seems to have
dried up close to ten years ago, based on what you can find searching
various websites dedicated to the relatively short lived hardware.
So lets remove the support relating to CONFIG_MCA. There is no point
carrying this forward, wasting cycles doing routine maintenance on it;
wasting allyesconfig build time on validating it, wasting I/O on git
grep'ping over it, and so on."
Let's see if anybody screams. It generally has compiled, and James
Bottomley pointed out that there was a MCA extension from NCR that
allowed for up to 4GB of memory and PPro-class machines. So in *theory*
there may be users out there.
But even James (technically listed as a maintainer) doesn't actually
have a system, and while Alan Cox claims to have a machine in his cellar
that he offered to anybody who wants to take it off his hands, he didn't
argue for keeping MCA support either.
So we could bring it back. But somebody had better speak up and talk
about how they have actually been using said MCA hardware with modern
kernels for us to do that. And David already took the patch to delete
all the networking driver code (commit a5e371f61a: "drivers/net:
delete all code/drivers depending on CONFIG_MCA").

3) A couple of commits that improve the efficiency of the interaction
between preemptible RCU and the scheduler, these two being all that
survived an abortive attempt to allow preemptible RCU's
__rcu_read_lock() to be inlined. The full set was posted to LKML at

of that set remain.
4) Lai Jiangshan's algorithmic implementation of SRCU, which includes
call_srcu() and srcu_barrier(). A major feature of this new
implementation is that synchronize_srcu() no longer disturbs the
execution of other CPUs. This work is based on earlier
implementations by Peter Zijlstra and Paul E. McKenney. Posted to
LKML: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/2/22/82.
5) A number of miscellaneous bug fixes and improvements which were
posted to LKML at: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/4/23/353 with

This patch adds support for CMA to dma-mapping subsystem for ARM
architecture. By default a global CMA area is used, but specific devices
are allowed to have their private memory areas if required (they can be
created with dma_declare_contiguous() function during board
initialisation).
Contiguous memory areas reserved for DMA are remapped with 2-level page
tables on boot. Once a buffer is requested, a low memory kernel mapping
is updated to to match requested memory access type.
GFP_ATOMIC allocations are performed from special pool which is created
early during boot. This way remapping page attributes is not needed on
allocation time.
CMA has been enabled unconditionally for ARMv6+ systems.

The Contiguous Memory Allocator is a set of helper functions for DMA
mapping framework that improves allocations of contiguous memory chunks.
CMA grabs memory on system boot, marks it with MIGRATE_CMA migrate type
and gives back to the system. Kernel is allowed to allocate only movable
pages within CMA's managed memory so that it can be used for example for
page cache when DMA mapping do not use it. On
dma_alloc_from_contiguous() request such pages are migrated out of CMA
area to free required contiguous block and fulfill the request. This
allows to allocate large contiguous chunks of memory at any time
assuming that there is enough free memory available in the system.
This code is heavily based on earlier works by Michal Nazarewicz.

Hardware with MCA bus is limited to 386 and 486 class machines
that are now 20+ years old and typically with less than 32MB
of memory. A quick search on the internet, and you see that
even the MCA hobbyist/enthusiast community has lost interest
in the early 2000 era and never really even moved ahead from
the 2.4 kernels to the 2.6 series.
This deletes anything remaining related to CONFIG_MCA from core
kernel code and from the x86 architecture. There is no point in
carrying this any further into the future.
One complication to watch for is inadvertently scooping up
stuff relating to machine check, since there is overlap in
the TLA name space (e.g. arch/x86/boot/mca.c).

A PCIe downstream port is a P2P bridge. Its secondary interface is
a link that should lead only to device 0 (unless ARI is enabled)[1], so
we don't probe for non-zero device numbers.
Some Stratus ftServer systems have a PCIe downstream port (02:00.0) that
leads to both an upstream port (03:00.0) and a downstream port (03:01.0),
and 03:01.0 has important devices below it:
[0000:02]-+-00.0-[03-3c]--+-00.0-[04-09]--...
\-01.0-[0a-0d]--+-[USB]
+-[NIC]
+-...
Previously, we didn't enumerate device 03:01.0, so USB and the network
didn't work. This patch adds a DMI quirk to scan all device numbers,
not just 0, below a downstream port.
Based on a patch by Prarit Bhargava.

First pull request for 3.5-next, slightly large than usual because new
things kept coming in since the last pull for 3.4.
Highlights:
- first batch of hw enablement for vlv (Jesse et al) and hsw (Eugeni). pci
ids are not yet added, and there's still quite a few patches to merge
(mostly modesetting). To make QA easier I've decided to merge this stuff
in pieces.
- loads of cleanups and prep patches spurred by the above. Especially vlv
is a real frankenstein chip, but also hsw is stretching our driver's
code design. Expect more to come in this area for 3.5.
- more gmbus fixes, cleanups and improvements by Daniel Kurtz. Again,
there are more patches needed (and some already queued up), but I wanted
to split this a bit for better testing.
- pwrite/pread rework and retuning. This series has been in the works for
a few months already and a lot of i-g-t tests have been created for it.
Now it's finally ready to be merged. Note that one patch in this series
touches include/pagemap.h, that patch is acked-by akpm.
- reduce mappable pressure and relocation throughput improvements from
Chris.
- mmap offset exhaustion mitigation by Chris Wilson.
- a start at figuring out which codepaths in our messy dri1/ums+gem/kms
driver we actually need to support by bailing out of unsupported case.
The driver now refuses to load without kms on gen6+ and disallows a few
ioctls that userspace never used in certain cases. More of this will
definitely come.
- More decoupling of global gtt and ppgtt.
- Improved dual-link lvds detection by Takashi Iwai.
- Shut up the compiler + plus fix the fallout (Ben)
- Inverted panel brightness handling (mostly Acer manages to break things
in this way).
- Small fixlets and adjustements and some minor things to help debugging.
Regression-wise QA reported quite a few issues on ivb, but all of them
turned out to be hw stability issues which are already fixed in
drm-intel-fixes (QA runs the nightly regression tests on -next alone,
without -fixes automatically merged in). There's still one issue open on
snb, it looks like occlusion query writes are not quite as cache coherent
as we've expected. With some of the pwrite adjustements we can now
reliably hit this. Kernel workaround for it is in the works."

Pull nfsd changes from Bruce Fields:
Highlights:
- Benny Halevy and Tigran Mkrtchyan implemented some more 4.1 features,
moving us closer to a complete 4.1 implementation.
- Bernd Schubert fixed a long-standing problem with readdir cookies on
ext2/3/4.
- Jeff Layton performed a long-overdue overhaul of the server reboot
recovery code which will allow us to deprecate the current code (a
rather unusual user of the vfs), and give us some needed flexibility
for further improvements.
- Like the client, we now support numeric uid's and gid's in the
auth_sys case, allowing easier upgrades from NFSv2/v3 to v4.x.
Plus miscellaneous bugfixes and cleanup.
Thanks to everyone!
There are also some delegation fixes waiting on vfs review that I
suppose will have to wait for 3.5. With that done I think we'll finally
turn off the "EXPERIMENTAL" dependency for v4 (though that's mostly
symbolic as it's been on by default in distro's for a while).
And the list of 4.1 todo's should be achievable for 3.5 as well:
http://wiki.linux-nfs.org/wiki/index.php/Server_4.0_and_4.1_issues
though we may still want a bit more experience with it before turning it
on by default.

ext4: return 32/64-bit dir name hash according to usage type
fs: add new FMODE flags: FMODE_32bithash and FMODE_64bithash
...
Mimic the client side by providing a module parameter that turns off
idmapping in the auth_sys case, for backwards compatibility with NFSv2
and NFSv3.
Unlike in the client case, we don't have any way to negotiate, since the
client can return an error to us if it doesn't like the id that we
return to it in (for example) a getattr call.
However, it has always been possible for servers to return numeric id's,
and as far as we're aware clients have always been able to handle them.
Also, in the auth_sys case clients already need to have numeric id's the
same between client and server.
Therefore we believe it's safe to default this to on; but the module
parameter is available to return to previous behavior if this proves to
be a problem in some unexpected setup.

Sometimes we need to test a kernel of same version with code or config
option changes.
We already have sysctl to disable module load, but add a kernel

There's also a new initcall_debug feature from Arjan which will print

Beyond that, I'm handing off PCI maintainership to Bjorn Helgaas.
He's been a core PCI and Linux contributor for some time now, and has

for PCI review and work that it deserves lately (I've taken on some

and one change to moorestown platform stuff in x86.
Highlights:
- new drivers: UDL driver for USB displaylink devices, kms only,
should support correct hotplug operations.
- core: i2c speedups + better hotplug support, EDID overriding via
firmware interface - allows user to load a firmware for a broken
monitor/kvm from userspace, it even has documentation for it.
- exynos: new HDMI audio + hdmi 1.4 + virtual output driver
- gma500: code cleanup
- radeon: cleanups, CS optimisations, streamout support and pageflip
fix
- nouveau: NVD9 displayport support + more reclocking work
- i915: re-enabling GMBUS, finish gpu patch (might help hibernation
who knows), missed irq fixes, stencil tiling fixes, interlaced
support, aliasesd PPGTT support for SNB/IVB, swizzling for SNB/IVB,
semaphore fixes
As well as the usual bunch of cleanups and fixes all over the place.
I've got two things I'd like to merge a bit later:
a) AMD support for all their new radeonhd 7000 series GPU and APUs.
AMD dropped this a bit late due to insane internal review
processes, (please AMD just follow Intel and let open source guys
ship stuff early) however I don't want to penalise people who own
this hardware (since its been on sale for 3-4 months and GPU hw
doesn't exactly have a lifetime in years) and consign them to
using closed drivers for longer than necessary. The changes are
well contained and just plug into the driver new gpu functionality
so they should be fairly regression proof. I just want to give
them a bit of a run on the hw AMD kindly sent me.
b) drm prime/dma-buf interface code. This is just infrastructure
code to expose the dma-buf stuff to drm drivers and to userspace.
I'm not planning on pushing any driver support in this cycle
(except maybe exynos), but I'd like to get the infrastructure code
in so for the next cycle I can start getting the driver support
into the individual drivers. We have started driver support for
i915, nouveau and udl along with I think exynos and omap in
staging. However this code relies on the dma-buf tree being
pulled into your tree first since it needs the latest interfaces
from that tree. I'll push to get that tree sent asap.
(oh and any warnings you see in i915 are gcc's fault from what anyone
can see)."

The pnfs-objects protocol mandates that we autologin into devices not
present in the system, according to information specified in the
get_device_info returned from the server.
The Protocol specifies two login hints.
1. An IP address:port combination
2. A string URI which is constructed as a URL with a protocol prefix
followed by :// and a string as address. For each protocol prefix
the string-address format might be different.
We only support the second option. The first option is just redundant
to the second one.
NOTE: The Kernel part of autologin does not parse the URI string. It
just channels it to a user-mode script. So any new login protocols should
only update the user-mode script which is a part of the nfs-utils package,
but the Kernel need not change.
We implement the autologin by using the call_usermodehelper() API.
(Thanks to Steve Dickson <steved@redhat.com> for pointing it out)
So there is no running daemon needed, and/or special setup.
We Add the osd_login_prog Kernel module parameters which defaults to:
/sbin/osd_login
Kernel try's to upcall the program specified in osd_login_prog. If the file is
not found or the execution fails Kernel will disable any farther upcalls, by
zeroing out osd_login_prog, Until Admin re-enables it by setting the
osd_login_prog parameter to a proper program.

Broken monitors and/or broken graphic boards may send erroneous or no
EDID data. This also applies to broken KVM devices that are unable to
correctly forward the EDID data of the connected monitor but invent
their own fantasy data.
This patch allows to specify an EDID data set to be used instead of
probing the monitor for it. It contains built-in data sets of frequently
used screen resolutions. In addition, a particular EDID data set may be
provided in the /lib/firmware directory and loaded via the firmware
interface. The name is passed to the kernel as module parameter of the
drm_kms_helper module either when loaded
options drm_kms_helper edid_firmware=edid/1280x1024.bin
or as kernel commandline parameter
drm_kms_helper.edid_firmware=edid/1280x1024.bin
It is also possible to restrict the usage of a specified EDID data set
to a particular connector. This is done by prepending the name of the
connector to the name of the EDID data set using the syntax
edid_firmware=[<connector>:]<edid>
such as, for example,
edid_firmware=DVI-I-1:edid/1920x1080.bin
in which case no other connector will be affected.
The built-in data sets are
Resolution Name
--------------------------------
1024x768 edid/1024x768.bin
1280x1024 edid/1280x1024.bin
1680x1050 edid/1680x1050.bin
1920x1080 edid/1920x1080.bin
They are ignored, if a file with the same name is available in the
/lib/firmware directory.
The built-in EDID data sets are based on standard timings that may not
apply to a particular monitor and even crash it. Ideally, EDID data of
the connected monitor should be used. They may be obtained through the
drm/cardX/cardX-<connector>/edid entry in the /sys/devices PCI directory
of a correctly working graphics adapter.
It is even possible to specify the name of an EDID data set on-the-fly
via the /sys/module interface, e.g.
echo edid/myedid.bin >/sys/module/drm_kms_helper/parameters/edid_firmware
The new screen mode is considered when the related kernel function is
called for the first time after the change. Such calls are made when the
X server is started or when the display settings dialog is opened in an
already running X server.

Following the documentation of the Legacy Backlight Brightness (LBB)
Register in the configuration space of some Intel PCI graphics adapters,
setting the LBB register with the value 0x0 causes the backlight to be
turned off, and 0xFF causes the backlight to be set to 100% intensity
(http://download.intel.com/embedded/processors/Whitepaper/324567.pdf).
The Acer Aspire 5734Z, however, turns the backlight off at 0xFF and sets
it to maximum intensity at 0. In consequence, the screen of this systems
becomes dark at an early boot stage which makes it unusable. The same
inversion applies to the BLC_PWM_CTL I915 register. This problem was
introduced in kernel version 2.6.38 when the PCI device of this system
was first supported by the i915 KMS module.
This patch adds a parameter to the i915 module to enable inversion of
the brightness variable (i915.invert_brightness).

Since commit 04c6862c05 ("kmsg_dump: add kmsg_dump() calls to the
reboot, halt, poweroff and emergency_restart paths"), kmsg_dump() gets
run on normal paths including poweroff and reboot.
This is less than ideal given pstore implementations that can only
represent single backtraces, since a reboot may overwrite a stored oops
before it's been picked up by userspace. In addition, some pstore
backends may have low performance and provide a significant delay in
reboot as a result.
This patch adds a printk.always_kmsg_dump kernel parameter (which can also
be changed from userspace). Without it, the code will only be run on
failure paths rather than on normal paths. The option can be enabled in
environments where there's a desire to attempt to audit whether or not a
reboot was cleanly requested or not.

There are PCIe devices on the market that report ARI support but
then fail to initialize correctly when ARI is actually used. This
leads to situations in which kernels 2.6.34 and newer fail to handle
systems where the previous kernels worked without any apparent
problems. Unfortunately, it is currently unknown how many such
devices are there.
For this reason, introduce a new kernel command line option,
pci=noari, allowing users to disable PCIe ARI altogether if they
see problems with PCIe device initialization.

With CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC configured, the CPU will generate an exception
on access (read,write) to an unallocated page, which permits us to catch
code which corrupts memory. However the kernel is trying to maximise
memory usage, hence there are usually few free pages in the system and
buggy code usually corrupts some crucial data.
This patch changes the buddy allocator to keep more free/protected pages
and to interlace free/protected and allocated pages to increase the
probability of catching corruption.
When the kernel is compiled with CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC,
debug_guardpage_minorder defines the minimum order used by the page
allocator to grant a request. The requested size will be returned with
the remaining pages used as guard pages.
The default value of debug_guardpage_minorder is zero: no change from
current behaviour.

Now that the use of numeric uids/gids is officially sanctioned in
RFC3530bis, it is time to change the default here to 'enabled'.
By doing so, we ensure that NFSv4 copies the behaviour of NFSv3 when we're
using the default AUTH_SYS authentication (i.e. when the client uses the
numeric uids/gids as authentication tokens), so that when new files are
created, they will appear to have the correct user/group.
It also fixes a number of backward compatibility issues when migrating
from NFSv3 to NFSv4 on a platform where the server uses different uid/gid
mappings than the client.
Note also that this setting has been successfully tested against servers
that do not support numeric uids/gids at several Connectathon/Bakeathon
events at this point, and the fall back to using string names/groups has
been shown to work well in all those test cases.

If the device starts to use IOMMUv2 features the dma handles
need to stay valid. The only sane way to do this is to use a
identity mapping for the device and not translate it by the
iommu. This is implemented with this patch. Since this lifts
the device-isolation there is also a new kernel parameter
which allows to disable that feature.

With this patch the OProfile Basic Mode Sampling support for System z
is enhanced with a counter file system. That way hardware sampling
can be configured using the user space tools with only little
modifications.
With the patch by default new cpu_types (s390/z10, s390/z196) are
returned in order to indicate that we are running a CPU which provides
the hardware sampling facility. Existing user space tools will
complain about an unknown cpu type. In order to be compatible with
existing user space tools the `cpu_type' module parameter has been
added. Setting the parameter to `timer' will force the module to
return `timer' as cpu_type. The module will still try to use hardware
sampling if available and the hwsampling virtual filesystem will be
also be available for configuration. So this has a different effect
than using the generic oprofile module parameter `timer=1'.
If the basic mode sampling is enabled on the machine and the
cpu_type=timer parameter is not used the kernel module will provide
the following virtual filesystem:
/dev/oprofile/0/enabled
/dev/oprofile/0/event
/dev/oprofile/0/count
/dev/oprofile/0/unit_mask
/dev/oprofile/0/kernel
/dev/oprofile/0/user
In the counter file system only the values of 'enabled', 'count',
'kernel', and 'user' are evaluated by the kernel module. Everything
else must contain fixed values.
The 'event' value only supports a single event - HWSAMPLING with value
0.
The 'count' value specifies the hardware sampling rate as it is passed
to the CPU measurement facility.
The 'kernel' and 'user' flags can now be used to filter for samples
when using hardware sampling.
Additionally also the following file will be created:
/dev/oprofile/timer/enabled
This will always be the inverted value of /dev/oprofile/0/enabled. 0
is not accepted without hardware sampling.

The 16-MB global limit on memory used by usbfs isn't suitable for all
people. It's a reasonable default, but there are applications
(especially for SuperSpeed devices) that need a lot more.
This patch (as1498) creates a writable module parameter for usbcore to
control the global limit. The default is still 16 MB, but users can
change it at runtime, even after usbcore has been loaded. As a
special case, setting the value to 0 is treated the same as the hard
limit of 2047 MB.

Currently only the address of the pre-allocated ELF header is passed with
the elfcorehdr= kernel parameter. In order to reserve memory for the header
in the 2nd kernel also the size is required. Current kdump architecture
backends use different methods to do that, e.g. x86 uses the memmap= kernel
parameter. On s390 there is no easy way to transfer this information.
Therefore the elfcorehdr kernel parameter is extended to also pass the size.
This now can also be used as standard mechanism by all future kdump
architecture backends.
The syntax of the kernel parameter is extended as follows:
elfcorehdr=[size[KMG]@]offset[KMG]
This change is backward compatible because elfcorehdr=size is still allowed.

Some devices like MMC are async detected very slow. For example,
drivers/mmc/host/sdhci.c launches a 200ms delayed work to detect
MMC partitions then add disk.
We have wait_for_device_probe() and scsi_complete_async_scans()
before calling swsusp_check(), but it is not enough to wait for MMC.
This patch adds resumewait kernel param just like rootwait so
that we have enough time to wait until MMC is ready. The difference is
that we wait for resume partition whereas rootwait waits for rootfs
partition (which may be on a different device).
This patch will make hibernation support many embedded products
without SCSI devices, but with devices like MMC.

On the platforms which are x2apic and interrupt-remapping
capable, Linux kernel is enabling x2apic even if the BIOS
doesn't. This is to take advantage of the features that x2apic
brings in.
Some of the OEM platforms are running into issues because of
this, as their bios is not x2apic aware. For example, this was
resulting in interrupt migration issues on one of the platforms.
Also if the BIOS SMI handling uses APIC interface to send SMI's,
then the BIOS need to be aware of x2apic mode that OS has
enabled.
On some of these platforms, BIOS doesn't have a HW mechanism to
turnoff the x2apic feature to prevent OS from enabling it.
To resolve this mess, recent changes to the VT-d2 specification:
http://download.intel.com/technology/computing/vptech/Intel(r)_VT_for_Direct_IO.pdf
includes a mechanism that provides BIOS a way to request system
software to opt out of enabling x2apic mode.
Look at the x2apic optout flag in the DMAR tables before
enabling the x2apic mode in the platform. Also print a warning
that we have disabled x2apic based on the BIOS request.
Kernel boot parameter "intremap=no_x2apic_optout" can be used to
override the BIOS x2apic optout request.

This patch provides performance tuning for the "Bulldozer" CPU. With its
shared instruction cache there is a chance of generating an excessive
number of cache cross-invalidates when running specific workloads on the
cores of a compute module.
This excessive amount of cross-invalidations can be observed if cache
lines backed by shared physical memory alias in bits [14:12] of their
virtual addresses, as those bits are used for the index generation.
This patch addresses the issue by clearing all the bits in the [14:12]
slice of the file mapping's virtual address at generation time, thus
forcing those bits the same for all mappings of a single shared library
across processes and, in doing so, avoids instruction cache aliases.
It also adds the command line option "align_va_addr=(32|64|on|off)" with
which virtual address alignment can be enabled for 32-bit or 64-bit x86
individually, or both, or be completely disabled.
This change leaves virtual region address allocation on other families
and/or vendors unaffected.

When a kernel BUG or oops occurs, ChromeOS intends to panic and
immediately reboot, with stacktrace and other messages preserved in RAM
across reboot.
But the longer we delay, the more likely the user is to poweroff and
lose the info.
panic_timeout (seconds before rebooting) is set by panic= boot option or
sysctl or /proc/sys/kernel/panic; but 0 means wait forever, so at
present we have to delay at least 1 second.
Let a negative number mean reboot immediately (with the small cosmetic
benefit of suppressing that newline-less "Rebooting in %d seconds.."
message).

There is a problem with putting the first kernel in EFI virtual mode,
it is that when the second kernel comes up it tries to initialize the
EFI again and once we have put EFI in virtual mode we can not really
do that.
Actually, EFI is not necessary for kdump, we can boot the second kernel
with "noefi" parameter, but the boot will mostly fail because 2nd kernel
cannot find RSDP.
In this situation, we introduced "acpi_rsdp=" kernel parameter, so that
kexec-tools can pass the "noefi acpi_rsdp=X" to the second kernel to
make kdump works. The physical address of the RSDP can be got from
sysfs(/sys/firmware/efi/systab).

Some USB mass-storage devices have bugs that cause them not to handle
the first READ(10) command they receive correctly. The Corsair
Padlock v2 returns completely bogus data for its first read (possibly
it returns the data in encrypted form even though the device is
supposed to be unlocked). The Feiya SD/SDHC card reader fails to
complete the first READ(10) command after it is plugged in or after a
new card is inserted, returning a status code that indicates it thinks
the command was invalid, which prevents the kernel from retrying the
read.
Since the first read of a new device or a new medium is for the
partition sector, the kernel is unable to retrieve the device's
partition table. Users have to manually issue an "hdparm -z" or
"blockdev --rereadpt" command before they can access the device.
This patch (as1470) works around the problem. It adds a new quirk
flag, US_FL_INVALID_READ10, indicating that the first READ(10) should
always be retried immediately, as should any failing READ(10) commands
(provided the preceding READ(10) command succeeded, to avoid getting
stuck in a loop). The patch also adds appropriate unusual_devs
entries containing the new flag.

intel-iommu: Remove obsolete comment from detect_intel_iommu
intel-iommu: fix VT-d PMR disable for TXT on S3 resume
There are no externally-visible changes with this. In the loop in the
internal __domain_mapping() function, we simply detect if we are mapping:
- size >= 2MiB, and
- virtual address aligned to 2MiB, and
- physical address aligned to 2MiB, and
- on hardware that supports superpages.
(and likewise for larger superpages).
We automatically use a superpage for such mappings. We never have to
worry about *breaking* superpages, since we trust that we will always
*unmap* the same range that was mapped. So all we need to do is ensure
that dma_pte_clear_range() will also cope with superpages.
Adjust pfn_to_dma_pte() to take a superpage 'level' as an argument, so
it can return a PTE at the appropriate level rather than always
extending the page tables all the way down to level 1. Again, this is
simplified by the fact that we should never encounter existing small
pages when we're creating a mapping; any old mapping that used the same
virtual range will have been entirely removed and its obsolete page
tables freed.
Provide an 'intel_iommu=sp_off' argument on the command line as a
chicken bit. Not that it should ever be required.

typed into an email. Followed by half a dozen subsequent 'fixes'.
I've taken the unusual step of rewriting history and collapsing the
original commits in order to keep the main history simpler, and make
life easier for the people who are going to have to backport this to
older kernels. And also so I can give it a more coherent commit comment

On some architectures, the boot process involves de-registering the boot
console (early boot), initialize drivers and then re-register the console.
This mechanism introduces a window in which no printk can happen on the
console and messages are buffered and then printed once the new console is
available.
If a kernel crashes during this window, all it's left on the boot console
is "console [foo] enabled, bootconsole disabled" making debug of the crash
rather 'interesting'.
By adding "keep_bootcon" option, do not unregister the boot console, that
will allow to printk everything that is happening up to the crash.
The option is clearly meant only for debugging purposes as it introduces
lots of duplicated info printed on console, but will make bug report from
users easier as it doesn't require a kernel build just to figure out where
we crash.

IRQF_NO_THREAD. Also all PER_CPU interrupts are excluded.
Forced threading hard interrupts also forces all soft interrupt
handling into thread context.
When enabled it might slow down things a bit, but for debugging problems in
interrupt code it's a reasonable penalty as it does not immediately
crash and burn the machine when an interrupt handler is buggy.

A recurring complaint from CFS users is that parallel kbuild has
a negative impact on desktop interactivity. This patch
implements an idea from Linus, to automatically create task
groups. Currently, only per session autogroups are implemented,
but the patch leaves the way open for enhancement.
Implementation: each task's signal struct contains an inherited
pointer to a refcounted autogroup struct containing a task group
pointer, the default for all tasks pointing to the
init_task_group. When a task calls setsid(), a new task group
is created, the process is moved into the new task group, and a
reference to the preveious task group is dropped. Child
processes inherit this task group thereafter, and increase it's
refcount. When the last thread of a process exits, the
process's reference is dropped, such that when the last process
referencing an autogroup exits, the autogroup is destroyed.
At runqueue selection time, IFF a task has no cgroup assignment,
its current autogroup is used.
Autogroup bandwidth is controllable via setting it's nice level
through the proc filesystem:
cat /proc/<pid>/autogroup
Displays the task's group and the group's nice level.
echo <nice level> > /proc/<pid>/autogroup
Sets the task group's shares to the weight of nice <level> task.
Setting nice level is rate limited for !admin users due to the
abuse risk of task group locking.
The feature is enabled from boot by default if
CONFIG_SCHED_AUTOGROUP=y is selected, but can be disabled via
the boot option noautogroup, and can also be turned on/off on
the fly via:
echo [01] > /proc/sys/kernel/sched_autogroup_enabled
... which will automatically move tasks to/from the root task group.

Swap accounting can be configured by CONFIG_CGROUP_MEM_RES_CTLR_SWAP
configuration option and then it is turned on by default. There is a boot
option (noswapaccount) which can disable this feature.
This makes it hard for distributors to enable the configuration option as
this feature leads to a bigger memory consumption and this is a no-go for
general purpose distribution kernel. On the other hand swap accounting
may be very usuful for some workloads.
This patch adds a new configuration option which controls the default
behavior (CGROUP_MEM_RES_CTLR_SWAP_ENABLED). If the option is selected
then the feature is turned on by default.
It also adds a new boot parameter swapaccount[=1|0] which enhances the
original noswapaccount parameter semantic by means of enable/disable logic
(defaults to 1 if no value is provided to be still consistent with
noswapaccount).
The default behavior is unchanged (if CONFIG_CGROUP_MEM_RES_CTLR_SWAP is
enabled then CONFIG_CGROUP_MEM_RES_CTLR_SWAP_ENABLED is enabled as well)

Allocate space from the top of a region first, then work downward,
if an architecture desires this.
When we allocate space from a resource, we look for gaps between children
of the resource. Previously, we always looked at gaps from the bottom up.
For example, given this:
[mem 0xbff00000-0xf7ffffff] PCI Bus 0000:00
[mem 0xbff00000-0xbfffffff] gap -- available
[mem 0xc0000000-0xdfffffff] PCI Bus 0000:02
[mem 0xe0000000-0xf7ffffff] gap -- available
we attempted to allocate from the [mem 0xbff00000-0xbfffffff] gap first,
then the [mem 0xe0000000-0xf7ffffff] gap.
With this patch an architecture can choose to allocate from the top gap
[mem 0xe0000000-0xf7ffffff] first.
We can't do this across the board because iomem_resource.end is initialized
to 0xffffffff_ffffffff on 64-bit architectures, and most machines can't
address the entire 64-bit physical address space. Therefore, we only
allocate top-down if the arch requests it by clearing
"resource_alloc_from_bottom".

...
I have some systems which need legacy sysfs due to old tools that are
making assumptions that a directory can never be a symlink to another
directory, and it's a big hazzle to compile separate kernels for them.
This patch turns CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED into a run time option
that can be switched on/off the kernel command line. This way
the same binary can be used in both cases with just a option
on the command line.
The old CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED_V2 option is still there to set
the default. I kept the weird name to not break existing
config files.
Also the compat code can be still completely disabled by undefining
CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED_SWITCH -- just the optimizer takes
care of this now instead of lots of ifdefs. This makes the code
look nicer.
v2: This is an updated version on top of Kay's patch to only
handle the block devices. I tested it on my old systems
and that seems to work.
