This removes the entire architecture code for blackfin, cris, frv, m32r,
metag, mn10300, score, and tile, including the associated device drivers.
I have been working with the (former) maintainers for each one to ensure
that my interpretation was right and the code is definitely unused in
mainline kernels. Many had fond memories of working on the respective
ports to start with and getting them included in upstream, but also saw
no point in keeping the port alive without any users.
In the end, it seems that while the eight architectures are extremely
different, they all suffered the same fate: There was one company
in charge of an SoC line, a CPU microarchitecture and a software
ecosystem, which was more costly than licensing newer off-the-shelf
CPU cores from a third party (typically ARM, MIPS, or RISC-V). It seems
that all the SoC product lines are still around, but have not used the
custom CPU architectures for several years at this point. In contrast,
CPU instruction sets that remain popular and have actively maintained
kernel ports tend to all be used across multiple licensees.
The removal came out of a discussion that is now documented at
https://lwn.net/Articles/748074/. Unlike the original plans, I'm not
marking any ports as deprecated but remove them all at once after I made
sure that they are all unused. Some architectures (notably tile, mn10300,
and blackfin) are still being shipped in products with old kernels,
but those products will never be updated to newer kernel releases.
After this series, we still have a few architectures without mainline
gcc support:
- unicore32 and hexagon both have very outdated gcc releases, but the
maintainers promised to work on providing something newer. At least
in case of hexagon, this will only be llvm, not gcc.
- openrisc, risc-v and nds32 are still in the process of finishing their
support or getting it added to mainline gcc in the first place.
They all have patched gcc-7.3 ports that work to some degree, but
complete upstream support won't happen before gcc-8.1. Csky posted
their first kernel patch set last week, their situation will be similar.

Two config options in the lock debugging menu that are probably the most
frequently used, as far as I am concerned, is the PROVE_LOCKING and
LOCK_STAT. From a UI perspective, they should be front and center. So
these two options are now moved to the top of the lock debugging menu.
The DEBUG_WW_MUTEX_SLOWPATH option is also added to the PROVE_LOCKING
umbrella.

There are a couples of lock debugging Kconfig options that depends on
the following support options:
- TRACE_IRQFLAGS_SUPPORT
- STACKTRACE_SUPPORT
- LOCKDEP_SUPPORT
That makes those lock debugging options harder to read and understand.
So a new LOCK_DEBUGGING_SUPPORT option is added that is equivalent to
the above three options together. That makes the Kconfig.debug file
more readable.

For a rwsem, locking can either be exclusive or shared. The corresponding
exclusive or shared unlock must be used. Otherwise, the protected data
structures may get corrupted or the lock may be in an inconsistent state.
In order to detect such anomaly, a new configuration option DEBUG_RWSEMS
is added which can be enabled to look for such mismatches and print
warnings that that happens.

Incremental linking is gone, so rename built-in.o to built-in.a, which
is the usual extension for archive files.
This patch does two things, first is a simple search/replace:
git grep -l 'built-in\.o' | xargs sed -i 's/built-in\.o/built-in\.a/g'
The second is to invert nesting of nested text manipulations to avoid
filtering built-in.a out from libs-y2:
-libs-y2 := $(filter-out %.a, $(patsubst %/, %/built-in.a, $(libs-y)))
+libs-y2 := $(patsubst %/, %/built-in.a, $(filter-out %.a, $(libs-y)))

We get a lot of very large stack frames using gcc-7.0.1 with the default
-fsanitize-address-use-after-scope --param asan-stack=1 options, which can
easily cause an overflow of the kernel stack, e.g.
drivers/gpu/drm/i915/gvt/handlers.c:2434:1: warning: the frame size of 46176 bytes is larger than 3072 bytes
drivers/net/wireless/ralink/rt2x00/rt2800lib.c:5650:1: warning: the frame size of 23632 bytes is larger than 3072 bytes
lib/atomic64_test.c:250:1: warning: the frame size of 11200 bytes is larger than 3072 bytes
drivers/gpu/drm/i915/gvt/handlers.c:2621:1: warning: the frame size of 9208 bytes is larger than 3072 bytes
drivers/media/dvb-frontends/stv090x.c:3431:1: warning: the frame size of 6816 bytes is larger than 3072 bytes
fs/fscache/stats.c:287:1: warning: the frame size of 6536 bytes is larger than 3072 bytes
To reduce this risk, -fsanitize-address-use-after-scope is now split out
into a separate CONFIG_KASAN_EXTRA Kconfig option, leading to stack
frames that are smaller than 2 kilobytes most of the time on x86_64. An
earlier version of this patch also prevented combining KASAN_EXTRA with
KASAN_INLINE, but that is no longer necessary with gcc-7.0.1.
All patches to get the frame size below 2048 bytes with CONFIG_KASAN=y
and CONFIG_KASAN_EXTRA=n have been merged by maintainers now, so we can
bring back that default now. KASAN_EXTRA=y still causes lots of
warnings but now defaults to !COMPILE_TEST to disable it in
allmodconfig, and it remains disabled in all other defconfigs since it
is a new option. I arbitrarily raise the warning limit for KASAN_EXTRA
to 3072 to reduce the noise, but an allmodconfig kernel still has around
50 warnings on gcc-7.
I experimented a bit more with smaller stack frames and have another
follow-up series that reduces the warning limit for 64-bit architectures
to 1280 bytes (without CONFIG_KASAN).
With earlier versions of this patch series, I also had patches to address
the warnings we get with KASAN and/or KASAN_EXTRA, using a
"noinline_if_stackbloat" annotation.
That annotation now got replaced with a gcc-8 bugfix (see
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=81715) and a workaround for
older compilers, which means that KASAN_EXTRA is now just as bad as
before and will lead to an instant stack overflow in a few extreme
cases.
This reverts parts of commit 3f181b4d86 ("lib/Kconfig.debug: disable
-Wframe-larger-than warnings with KASAN=y"). Two patches in linux-next
should be merged first to avoid introducing warnings in an allmodconfig
build:
3cd890dbe2 ("media: dvb-frontends: fix i2c access helpers for KASAN")
16c3ada89c ("media: r820t: fix r820t_write_reg for KASAN")
Do we really need to backport this?
I think we do: without this patch, enabling KASAN will lead to
unavoidable kernel stack overflow in certain device drivers when built
with gcc-7 or higher on linux-4.10+ or any version that contains a
backport of commit c5caf21ab0. Most people are probably still on
older compilers, but it will get worse over time as they upgrade their
distros.
The warnings we get on kernels older than this should all be for code
that uses dangerously large stack frames, though most of them do not
cause an actual stack overflow by themselves.The asan-stack option was
added in linux-4.0, and commit 3f181b4d86 ("lib/Kconfig.debug:
disable -Wframe-larger-than warnings with KASAN=y") effectively turned
off the warning for allmodconfig kernels, so I would like to see this
fix backported to any kernels later than 4.0.
I have done dozens of fixes for individual functions with stack frames
larger than 2048 bytes with asan-stack, and I plan to make sure that
all those fixes make it into the stable kernels as well (most are
already there).
Part of the complication here is that asan-stack (from 4.0) was
originally assumed to always require much larger stacks, but that
turned out to be a combination of multiple gcc bugs that we have now
worked around and fixed, but sanitize-address-use-after-scope (from
v4.10) has a much higher inherent stack usage and also suffers from at
least three other problems that we have analyzed but not yet fixed
upstream, each of them makes the stack usage more severe than it should
be.

Since error-injection framework is not limited to be used
by kprobes, nor bpf. Other kernel subsystems can use it
freely for checking safeness of error-injection, e.g.
livepatch, ftrace etc.
So this separate error-injection framework from kprobes.
Some differences has been made:
- "kprobe" word is removed from any APIs/structures.
- BPF_ALLOW_ERROR_INJECTION() is renamed to
ALLOW_ERROR_INJECTION() since it is not limited for BPF too.
- CONFIG_FUNCTION_ERROR_INJECTION is the config item of this
feature. It is automatically enabled if the arch supports
error injection feature for kprobe or ftrace etc.

This code (CONFIG_LOCKDEP_CROSSRELEASE=y and CONFIG_LOCKDEP_COMPLETIONS=y),
while it found a number of old bugs initially, was also causing too many
false positives that caused people to disable lockdep - which is arguably
a worse overall outcome.
If we disable cross-release by default but keep the code upstream then
in practice the most likely outcome is that we'll allow the situation
to degrade gradually, by allowing entropy to introduce more and more
false positives, until it overwhelms maintenance capacity.
Another bad side effect was that people were trying to work around
the false positives by uglifying/complicating unrelated code. There's
a marked difference between annotating locking operations and
uglifying good code just due to bad lock debugging code ...
This gradual decrease in quality happened to a number of debugging
facilities in the kernel, and lockdep is pretty complex already,
so we cannot risk this outcome.
Either cross-release checking can be done right with no false positives,
or it should not be included in the upstream kernel.
( Note that it might make sense to maintain it out of tree and go through
the false positives every now and then and see whether new bugs were
introduced. )

Pull x86 asm updates from Ingo Molnar:
- Introduce the ORC unwinder, which can be enabled via
CONFIG_ORC_UNWINDER=y.
The ORC unwinder is a lightweight, Linux kernel specific debuginfo
implementation, which aims to be DWARF done right for unwinding.
Objtool is used to generate the ORC unwinder tables during build, so
the data format is flexible and kernel internal: there's no
dependency on debuginfo created by an external toolchain.
The ORC unwinder is almost two orders of magnitude faster than the
(out of tree) DWARF unwinder - which is important for perf call graph
profiling. It is also significantly simpler and is coded defensively:
there has not been a single ORC related kernel crash so far, even
with early versions. (knock on wood!)
But the main advantage is that enabling the ORC unwinder allows
CONFIG_FRAME_POINTERS to be turned off - which speeds up the kernel
measurably:
With frame pointers disabled, GCC does not have to add frame pointer
instrumentation code to every function in the kernel. The kernel's
.text size decreases by about 3.2%, resulting in better cache
utilization and fewer instructions executed, resulting in a broad
kernel-wide speedup. Average speedup of system calls should be
roughly in the 1-3% range - measurements by Mel Gorman [1] have shown
a speedup of 5-10% for some function execution intense workloads.
The main cost of the unwinder is that the unwinder data has to be
stored in RAM: the memory cost is 2-4MB of RAM, depending on kernel
config - which is a modest cost on modern x86 systems.
Given how young the ORC unwinder code is it's not enabled by default
- but given the performance advantages the plan is to eventually make
it the default unwinder on x86.
See Documentation/x86/orc-unwinder.txt for more details.

...
The hardlockup detector on x86 uses a performance counter based on unhalted
CPU cycles and a periodic hrtimer. The hrtimer period is about 2/5 of the
performance counter period, so the hrtimer should fire 2-3 times before the
performance counter NMI fires. The NMI code checks whether the hrtimer
fired since the last invocation. If not, it assumess a hard lockup.
The calculation of those periods is based on the nominal CPU
frequency. Turbo modes increase the CPU clock frequency and therefore
shorten the period of the perf/NMI watchdog. With extreme Turbo-modes (3x
nominal frequency) the perf/NMI period is shorter than the hrtimer period
which leads to false positives.
A simple fix would be to shorten the hrtimer period, but that comes with
the side effect of more frequent hrtimer and softlockup thread wakeups,
which is not desired.
Implement a low pass filter, which checks the perf/NMI period against
kernel time. If the perf/NMI fires before 4/5 of the watchdog period has
elapsed then the event is ignored and postponed to the next perf/NMI.
That solves the problem and avoids the overhead of shorter hrtimer periods
and more frequent softlockup thread wakeups.

Crossrelease support added the CONFIG_LOCKDEP_CROSSRELEASE and CONFIG_LOCKDEP_COMPLETE
options. It makes little sense to enable them when PROVE_LOCKING is disabled.
Make them non-interative options and part of PROVE_LOCKING to simplify the UI.

Although wait_for_completion() and its family can cause deadlock, the
lock correctness validator could not be applied to them until now,
because things like complete() are usually called in a different context
from the waiting context, which violates lockdep's assumption.
Thanks to CONFIG_LOCKDEP_CROSSRELEASE, we can now apply the lockdep
detector to those completion operations. Applied it.

Lockdep is a runtime locking correctness validator that detects and
reports a deadlock or its possibility by checking dependencies between
locks. It's useful since it does not report just an actual deadlock but
also the possibility of a deadlock that has not actually happened yet.
That enables problems to be fixed before they affect real systems.
However, this facility is only applicable to typical locks, such as
spinlocks and mutexes, which are normally released within the context in
which they were acquired. However, synchronization primitives like page
locks or completions, which are allowed to be released in any context,
also create dependencies and can cause a deadlock.
So lockdep should track these locks to do a better job. The 'crossrelease'
implementation makes these primitives also be tracked.

A couple of Kconfig changes which make it much easier to switch to the
new CONFIG_ORC_UNWINDER:
1) Remove x86 dependencies on CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER for lockdep,
latencytop, and fault injection. x86 has a 'guess' unwinder which
just scans the stack for kernel text addresses. It's not 100%
accurate but in many cases it's good enough. This allows those users
who don't want the text overhead of the frame pointer or ORC
unwinders to still use these features. More importantly, this also
makes it much more straightforward to disable frame pointers.
2) Make CONFIG_ORC_UNWINDER depend on !CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER. While it
would be possible to have both enabled, it doesn't really make sense
to do so. So enforce a sane configuration to prevent the user from
making a dumb mistake.
With these changes, when you disable CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER, "make
oldconfig" will ask if you want to enable CONFIG_ORC_UNWINDER.

Add the new ORC unwinder which is enabled by CONFIG_ORC_UNWINDER=y.
It plugs into the existing x86 unwinder framework.
It relies on objtool to generate the needed .orc_unwind and
.orc_unwind_ip sections.
For more details on why ORC is used instead of DWARF, see
Documentation/x86/orc-unwinder.txt - but the short version is
that it's a simplified, fundamentally more robust debugninfo
data structure, which also allows up to two orders of magnitude
faster lookups than the DWARF unwinder - which matters to
profiling workloads like perf.
Thanks to Andy Lutomirski for the performance improvement ideas:
splitting the ORC unwind table into two parallel arrays and creating a
fast lookup table to search a subset of the unwind table.

Also print a warning if get_random_*() is called before the CRNG is

per boot. If CONFIG_WARN_ALL_UNSEEDED_RANDOM is defined, then a

random: suppress spammy warnings about unseeded randomness
random: warn when kernel uses unseeded randomness

cifs: use get_random_u32 for 32-bit lock random
random: add get_random_{bytes,u32,u64,int,long,once}_wait family
random: add wait_for_random_bytes() API
Unfortunately, on some models of some architectures getting a fully
seeded CRNG is extremely difficult, and so this can result in dmesg
getting spammed for a surprisingly long time. This is really bad from
a security perspective, and so architecture maintainers really need to
do what they can to get the CRNG seeded sooner after the system is
booted. However, users can't do anything actionble to address this,
and spamming the kernel messages log will only just annoy people.
For developers who want to work on improving this situation,
CONFIG_WARN_UNSEEDED_RANDOM has been renamed to
CONFIG_WARN_ALL_UNSEEDED_RANDOM. By default the kernel will always
print the first use of unseeded randomness. This way, hopefully the
security obsessed will be happy that there is _some_ indication when
the kernel boots there may be a potential issue with that architecture
or subarchitecture. To see all uses of unseeded randomness,
developers can enable CONFIG_WARN_ALL_UNSEEDED_RANDOM.

This adds a new stress test driver for kmod: the kernel module loader.
The new stress test driver, test_kmod, is only enabled as a module right
now. It should be possible to load this as built-in and load tests
early (refer to the force_init_test module parameter), however since a
lot of test can get a system out of memory fast we leave this disabled
for now.
Using a system with 1024 MiB of RAM can *easily* get your kernel OOM
fast with this test driver.
The test_kmod driver exposes API knobs for us to fine tune simple
request_module() and get_fs_type() calls. Since these API calls only
allow each one parameter a test driver for these is rather simple.
Other factors that can help out test driver though are the number of
calls we issue and knowing current limitations of each. This exposes
configuration as much as possible through userspace to be able to build
tests directly from userspace.
Since it allows multiple misc devices its will eventually (once we add a
knob to let us create new devices at will) also be possible to perform
more tests in parallel, provided you have enough memory.
We only enable tests we know work as of right now.

enabled by default:
# tools/testing/selftests/kmod/kmod.sh -t 0008
# tools/testing/selftests/kmod/kmod.sh -t 0009
To be sure to run them as intended please unload both of the modules:
o test_module
o xfs
And ensure they are not loaded on your system prior to testing them. If
you use these paritions for your rootfs you can change the default test
driver used for get_fs_type() by exporting it into your environment. For
example of other test defaults you can override refer to kmod.sh
allow_user_defaults().
Behind the scenes this is how we fine tune at a test case prior to
hitting a trigger to run it:
cat /sys/devices/virtual/misc/test_kmod0/config
echo -n "2" > /sys/devices/virtual/misc/test_kmod0/config_test_case
echo -n "ext4" > /sys/devices/virtual/misc/test_kmod0/config_test_fs
echo -n "80" > /sys/devices/virtual/misc/test_kmod0/config_num_threads
cat /sys/devices/virtual/misc/test_kmod0/config
echo -n "1" > /sys/devices/virtual/misc/test_kmod0/config_num_threads
Finally to trigger:
echo -n "1" > /sys/devices/virtual/misc/test_kmod0/trigger_config
The kmod.sh script uses the above constructs to build different test cases.
A bit of interpretation of the current failures follows, first two
premises:
a) When request_module() is used userspace figures out an optimized
version of module order for us. Once it finds the modules it needs, as
per depmod symbol dep map, it will finit_module() the respective
modules which are needed for the original request_module() request.
b) We have an optimization in place whereby if a kernel uses
request_module() on a module already loaded we never bother userspace
as the module already is loaded. This is all handled by kernel/kmod.c.
A few things to consider to help identify root causes of issues:
0) kmod 19 has a broken heuristic for modules being assumed to be
built-in to your kernel and will return 0 even though request_module()
failed. Upgrade to a newer version of kmod.
1) A get_fs_type() call for "xfs" will request_module() for "fs-xfs",
not for "xfs". The optimization in kernel described in b) fails to
catch if we have a lot of consecutive get_fs_type() calls. The reason
is the optimization in place does not look for aliases. This means two
consecutive get_fs_type() calls will bump kmod_concurrent, whereas
request_module() will not.
This one explanation why test case 0009 fails at least once for
get_fs_type().
2) If a module fails to load --- for whatever reason (kmod_concurrent
limit reached, file not yet present due to rootfs switch, out of
memory) we have a period of time during which module request for the
same name either with request_module() or get_fs_type() will *also*
fail to load even if the file for the module is ready.
This explains why *multiple* NULLs are possible on test 0009.
3) finit_module() consumes quite a bit of memory.
4) Filesystems typically also have more dependent modules than other
modules, its important to note though that even though a get_fs_type()
call does not incur additional kmod_concurrent bumps, since userspace
loads dependencies it finds it needs via finit_module_fd(), it *will*
take much more memory to load a module with a lot of dependencies.
Because of 3) and 4) we will easily run into out of memory failures with
certain tests. For instance test 0006 fails on qemu with 1024 MiB of RAM.
It panics a box after reaping all userspace processes and still not
having enough memory to reap.

Split SOFTLOCKUP_DETECTOR from LOCKUP_DETECTOR, and split
HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_PERF from HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR.
LOCKUP_DETECTOR implies the general boot, sysctl, and programming
interfaces for the lockup detectors.
An architecture that wants to use a hard lockup detector must define
HAVE_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_PERF or HAVE_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_ARCH.
Alternatively an arch can define HAVE_NMI_WATCHDOG, which provides the
minimum arch_touch_nmi_watchdog, and it otherwise does its own thing and
does not implement the LOCKUP_DETECTOR interfaces.
sparc is unusual in that it has started to implement some of the
interfaces, but not fully yet. It should probably be converted to a full
HAVE_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_ARCH.

The existing tools/testing/selftests/sysctl/ tests include two test
cases, but these use existing production kernel sysctl interfaces. We
want to expand test coverage but we can't just be looking for random
safe production values to poke at, that's just insane!
Instead just dedicate a test driver for debugging purposes and port the
existing scripts to use it. This will make it easier for further tests
to be added.
Subsequent patches will extend our test coverage for sysctl.
The stress test driver uses a new license (GPL on Linux, copyleft-next
outside of Linux). Linus was fine with this [0] and later due to Ted's
and Alans's request ironed out an "or" language clause to use [1] which
is already present upstream.

"The main changes in this cycle were:
- Add CONFIG_REFCOUNT_FULL=y to allow the disabling of the 'full'
(robustness checked) refcount_t implementation with slightly lower
runtime overhead. (Kees Cook)
The lighter weight variant is the default. The two variants use the
same API. Having this variant was a precondition by some
maintainers to merge refcount_t cleanups.
- Add lockdep support for rtmutexes (Peter Zijlstra)
- liblockdep fixes and improvements (Sasha Levin, Ben Hutchings)

This enables an important dmesg notification about when drivers have
used the crng without it being seeded first. Prior, these errors would
occur silently, and so there hasn't been a great way of diagnosing these
types of bugs for obscure setups. By adding this as a config option, we
can leave it on by default, so that we learn where these issues happen,
in the field, will still allowing some people to turn it off, if they
really know what they're doing and do not want the log entries.
However, we don't leave it _completely_ by default. An earlier version
of this patch simply had `default y`. I'd really love that, but it turns
out, this problem with unseeded randomness being used is really quite
present and is going to take a long time to fix. Thus, as a compromise
between log-messages-for-all and nobody-knows, this is `default y`,
except it is also `depends on DEBUG_KERNEL`. This will ensure that the
curious see the messages while others don't have to.

RCU's debugging Kconfig options are in the unintuitive location
lib/Kconfig.debug, and there are enough of them that it would be good for
them to be more centralized. This commit therefore extracts RCU's Kconfig
options from init/Kconfig into a new kernel/rcu/Kconfig.debug file.

The sparse-based checking for non-RCU accesses to RCU-protected pointers

The PROVE_RCU_REPEATEDLY Kconfig option was initially added due to
the volume of messages from PROVE_RCU: Doing just one per boot would
have required excessive numbers of boots to locate them all. However,
PROVE_RCU messages are now relatively rare, so there is no longer any
reason to need more than one such message per boot. This commit therefore
removes the PROVE_RCU_REPEATEDLY Kconfig option.

The RCU_TORTURE_TEST_SLOW_PREINIT, RCU_TORTURE_TEST_SLOW_PREINIT_DELAY,
RCU_TORTURE_TEST_SLOW_PREINIT_DELAY, RCU_TORTURE_TEST_SLOW_INIT,
RCU_TORTURE_TEST_SLOW_INIT_DELAY, RCU_TORTURE_TEST_SLOW_CLEANUP,
and RCU_TORTURE_TEST_SLOW_CLEANUP_DELAY Kconfig options are only
useful for torture testing, and there are the rcutree.gp_cleanup_delay,
rcutree.gp_init_delay, and rcutree.gp_preinit_delay kernel boot parameters
that rcutorture can use instead. The effect of these parameters is to
artificially slow down grace period initialization and cleanup in order
to make some types of race conditions happen more often.
This commit therefore simplifies Tree RCU a bit by removing the Kconfig
options and adding the corresponding kernel parameters to rcutorture's
.boot files instead. However, this commit also leaves out the kernel
parameters for TREE02, TREE04, and TREE07 in order to have about the
same number of tests slowed as not slowed. TREE01, TREE03, TREE05,
and TREE06 are slowed, and the rest are not slowed.

CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING_SMALL shrinks the memory usage of lockdep so the
kernel text, data, and bss fit in the required 32MB limit, but this
option is not set for every config that enables lockdep.
A 4.10 kernel fails to boot with the console output

with these config options
CONFIG_LOCKDEP=y
CONFIG_LOCK_STAT=y
CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING=n
To fix, rename CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING_SMALL to CONFIG_LOCKDEP_SMALL, and
enable this option with CONFIG_LOCKDEP=y so we get the reduced memory
usage every time lockdep is turned on.
Tested that CONFIG_LOCKDEP_SMALL is set to 'y' if and only if
CONFIG_LOCKDEP is set to 'y'. When other lockdep-related config options
that select CONFIG_LOCKDEP are enabled (e.g. CONFIG_LOCK_STAT or
CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING), verified that CONFIG_LOCKDEP_SMALL is also
enabled.

Not much here, but a lot of little fixes and individual serial driver
updates all over the subsystem. Majority are for the sh-sci driver and
platform (the arch-specific changes have acks from the maintainer).
The start of the "serial bus" code is here as well, but nothing is
converted to use it yet. That work is still ongoing, hopefully will
start to show up across different subsystems for 4.12 (bluetooth is one
major place that will be used.)
All of these have been in linux-next for a while with no reported

Pull RCU updates from Ingo Molnar:
"The RCU changes in this cycle are:
- Dynticks updates, consolidating open-coded counter accesses into a
well-defined API
- SRCU updates: Simplify algorithm, add formal verification
- Documentation updates
- Miscellaneous fixes
- Torture-test updates
Most of the diffstat comes from the relatively large documentation
update"

...
Currently CONFIG_TIMER_STATS exposes process information across namespaces:
kernel/time/timer_list.c print_timer():
SEQ_printf(m, ", %s/%d", tmp, timer->start_pid);
/proc/timer_list:
#11: <0000000000000000>, hrtimer_wakeup, S:01, do_nanosleep, cron/2570
Given that the tracer can give the same information, this patch entirely
removes CONFIG_TIMER_STATS.

Provide refcount_t, an atomic_t like primitive built just for
refcounting.
It provides saturation semantics such that overflow becomes impossible
and thereby 'spurious' use-after-free is avoided.

This introduces a infrastructure for management of linear priority
areas. Priority order in an array matters, however order of items inside
a priority group does not matter.
As an initial implementation, L-sort algorithm is used. It is quite
trivial. More advanced algorithm called P-sort will be introduced as a
follow-up. The infrastructure is prepared for other algos.
Alongside this, a testing module is introduced as well.

While debugging a performance issue I needed to understand why
RCU sofitrqs were firing so frequently.
Unfortunately, the RCU callback tracepoints are hidden behind
CONFIG_RCU_TRACE which defaults to off in the upstream kernel and is
likely to also be disabled in enterprise distribution configs.
Enable it by default for CONFIG_TREE_RCU. However, we must keep it
disabled for tiny RCU, because it would otherwise pull in a large
amount of code that would make tiny RCU less than tiny.
I ran some file system metadata intensive workloads (git checkout,
FS-Mark) on a variety of machines with this patch and saw no
detectable change in performance.

The build of frv allmodconfig was failing with the errors like:
/tmp/cc0JSPc3.s: Assembler messages:

/tmp/cc0JSPc3.s:1842: Error: symbol `.LASLTP0' is already defined

/tmp/cc0JSPc3.s:1970: Error: symbol `.LELT0' is already defined
Commit 866ced950b ("kbuild: Support split debug info v4") introduced
splitting the debug info and keeping that in a separate file. Somehow,
the frv-linux gcc did not like that and I am guessing that instead of
splitting it started copying. The first report about this is at:
https://lists.01.org/pipermail/kbuild-all/2015-July/010527.html.
I will try and see if this can work with frv and if still fails I will
open a bug report with gcc. But meanwhile this is the easiest option to
solve build failure of frv.

SipHash is a 64-bit keyed hash function that is actually a
cryptographically secure PRF, like HMAC. Except SipHash is super fast,
and is meant to be used as a hashtable keyed lookup function, or as a
general PRF for short input use cases, such as sequence numbers or RNG
chaining.
For the first usage:
There are a variety of attacks known as "hashtable poisoning" in which an
attacker forms some data such that the hash of that data will be the
same, and then preceeds to fill up all entries of a hashbucket. This is
a realistic and well-known denial-of-service vector. Currently
hashtables use jhash, which is fast but not secure, and some kind of
rotating key scheme (or none at all, which isn't good). SipHash is meant
as a replacement for jhash in these cases.
There are a modicum of places in the kernel that are vulnerable to
hashtable poisoning attacks, either via userspace vectors or network
vectors, and there's not a reliable mechanism inside the kernel at the
moment to fix it. The first step toward fixing these issues is actually
getting a secure primitive into the kernel for developers to use. Then
we can, bit by bit, port things over to it as deemed appropriate.
While SipHash is extremely fast for a cryptographically secure function,
it is likely a bit slower than the insecure jhash, and so replacements
will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis based on whether or not the
difference in speed is negligible and whether or not the current jhash usage
poses a real security risk.
For the second usage:
A few places in the kernel are using MD5 or SHA1 for creating secure
sequence numbers, syn cookies, port numbers, or fast random numbers.
SipHash is a faster and more fitting, and more secure replacement for MD5
in those situations. Replacing MD5 and SHA1 with SipHash for these uses is
obvious and straight-forward, and so is submitted along with this patch
series. There shouldn't be much of a debate over its efficacy.
Dozens of languages are already using this internally for their hash
tables and PRFs. Some of the BSDs already use this in their kernels.
SipHash is a widely known high-speed solution to a widely known set of
problems, and it's time we catch-up.

- Further work on PDF output, which remains a bit of a pain but should be
more solid now.
- Five more DocBook template files converted to Sphinx. Only 27 to go...
Lots of plain-text files have also been converted and integrated.
- Images in binary formats have been replaced with more source-friendly
versions.
- Various bits of organizational work, including the renaming of various
files discussed at the kernel summit.
- New documentation for the device_link mechanism.
...and, of course, lots of typo fixes and small updates.

Add a configuration option to set the default console loglevel. This
is, as before, still possible to override at runtime through bootargs
(loglevel=<x>), sysrq and /proc/printk.
There are cases where adding additional arguments on the commandline is
impractical, and changing the default for the kernel when being built
makes more sense. Provide such a method here, for those who choose to
do so.
Also, while touching this code, clarify the difference between
MESSAGE_LOGLEVEL_DEFAULT and CONSOLE_LOGLEVEL_DEFAULT.

This new config parameter limits the space used for "Lock debugging:
prove locking correctness" by about 4MB. The current sparc systems have
the limitation of 32MB size for kernel size including .text, .data and
.bss sections. With PROVE_LOCKING feature, the kernel size could grow
beyond this limit and causing system boot-up issues. With this option,
kernel limits the size of the entries of lock_chains, stack_trace etc.,
so that kernel fits in required size limit. This is not visible to user
and only used for sparc.
