34a1b7236a kthreads: kill CLONE_KERNEL, change kernel_thread(kernel_init) to avoid CLONE_SIGHAND
1. Remove CLONE_KERNEL, it has no users and it is dangerous.

   The (old) comment says "List of flags we want to share for kernel
   threads" but this is not true, we do not want to share ->sighand by
   default. This flag can only be used if the caller is sure that both
   parent/child will never play with signals (say, allow_signal/etc).

2. Change rest_init() to clone kernel_init() without CLONE_SIGHAND.

   In this case CLONE_SIGHAND does not really hurt, and it looks like
   optimization because copy_sighand() can avoid kmem_cache_alloc().

   But in fact this only adds the minor pessimization. kernel_init()
   is going to exec the init process, and de_thread() will need to
   unshare ->sighand and do kmem_cache_alloc(sighand_cachep) anyway,
   but it needs to do more work and take tasklist_lock and siglock.

7b0b73d766 init/main.c: add initcall_blacklist kernel parameter
When a module is built into the kernel the module_init() function
becomes an initcall.  Sometimes debugging through dynamic debug can
help, however, debugging built in kernel modules is typically done by
changing the .config, recompiling, and booting the new kernel in an
effort to determine exactly which module caused a problem.

This patchset can be useful stand-alone or combined with initcall_debug.
There are cases where some initcalls can hang the machine before the
console can be flushed, which can make initcall_debug output inaccurate.
Having the ability to skip initcalls can help further debugging of these
scenarios.

Usage: initcall_blacklist=<list of comma separated initcalls>

ex) added "initcall_blacklist=sgi_uv_sysfs_init" as a kernel parameter and
the log contains:

	blacklisting initcall sgi_uv_sysfs_init
	...
	...
	initcall sgi_uv_sysfs_init blacklisted

ex) added "initcall_blacklist=foo_bar,sgi_uv_sysfs_init" as a kernel parameter
and the log contains:

	blacklisting initcall foo_bar
	blacklisting initcall sgi_uv_sysfs_init
	...
	...
	initcall sgi_uv_sysfs_init blacklisted

d62cf81524 init/main.c: don't use pr_debug()
Pertially revert commit ea676e846a ("init/main.c: convert to
pr_foo()").

Unbeknownst to me, pr_debug() is different from the other pr_foo()
levels: pr_debug() is a no-op when DEBUG is not defined.

Happily, init/main.c does have a #define DEBUG so we didn't break
initcall_debug.  But the functioning of initcall_debug should not be
dependent upon the presence of that #define DEBUG.

a8fe19ebfb kernel/printk: use symbolic defines for console loglevels
... instead of naked numbers.

Stuff in sysrq.c used to set it to 8 which is supposed to mean above
default level so set it to DEBUG instead as we're terminating/killing all
tasks and we want to be verbose there.

Also, correct the check in x86_64_start_kernel which should be >= as
we're clearly issuing the string there for all debug levels, not only
the magical 10.

226b4ccdcb mm/process_vm_access: move config option into init/Kconfig
CONFIG_CROSS_MEMORY_ATTACH adds couple syscalls: process_vm_readv and
process_vm_writev, it's a kind of IPC for copying data between processes.
Currently this option is placed inside "Processor type and features".

This patch moves it into "General setup" (where all other arch-independed
syscalls and ipc features are placed) and changes prompt string to less
cryptic.

dc6f6c97f1 memcg: kill start_kernel()->mm_init_owner(&init_mm)
Remove start_kernel()->mm_init_owner(&init_mm, &init_task).

This doesn't really hurt but unnecessary and misleading.  init_task is the
"swapper" thread == current, its ->mm is always NULL.  And init_mm can
only be used as ->active_mm, not as ->mm.

mm_init_owner() has a single caller with this patch, perhaps it should
die.  mm_init() can initialize ->owner under #ifdef.

Make espfix64 a hidden Kconfig option.  This fixes the x86-64 UML
build which had broken due to the non-existence of init_espfix_bsp()
in UML: since UML uses its own Kconfig, this option does not appear in
the UML build.

This also makes it possible to make support for 16-bit segments a
configuration option, for the people who want to minimize the size of
the kernel.

3891a04aaf x86-64, espfix: Don't leak bits 31:16 of %esp returning to 16-bit stack
The IRET instruction, when returning to a 16-bit segment, only
restores the bottom 16 bits of the user space stack pointer.  This
causes some 16-bit software to break, but it also leaks kernel state
to user space.  We have a software workaround for that ("espfix") for
the 32-bit kernel, but it relies on a nonzero stack segment base which
is not available in 64-bit mode.

In checkin:

    b3b42ac2cb x86-64, modify_ldt: Ban 16-bit segments on 64-bit kernels

we "solved" this by forbidding 16-bit segments on 64-bit kernels, with
the logic that 16-bit support is crippled on 64-bit kernels anyway (no
V86 support), but it turns out that people are doing stuff like
running old Win16 binaries under Wine and expect it to work.

This works around this by creating percpu "ministacks", each of which
is mapped 2^16 times 64K apart.  When we detect that the return SS is
on the LDT, we copy the IRET frame to the ministack and use the
relevant alias to return to userspace.  The ministacks are mapped
readonly, so if IRET faults we promote #GP to #DF which is an IST
vector and thus has its own stack; we then do the fixup in the #DF
handler.

(Making #GP an IST exception would make the msr_safe functions unsafe
in NMI/MC context, and quite possibly have other effects.)

Special thanks to:

- Andy Lutomirski, for the suggestion of using very small stack slots
  and copy (as opposed to map) the IRET frame there, and for the
  suggestion to mark them readonly and let the fault promote to #DF.
- Konrad Wilk for paravirt fixup and testing.
- Borislav Petkov for testing help and useful comments.

51e158c12a param: hand arguments after -- straight to init
The kernel passes any args it doesn't need through to init, except it
assumes anything containing '.' belongs to the kernel (for a module).
This change means all users can clearly distinguish which arguments
are for init.

For example, the kernel uses debug ("dee-bug") to mean log everything to
the console, where systemd uses the debug from the Scandinavian "day-boog"
meaning "fail to boot".  If a future versions uses argv[] instead of
reading /proc/cmdline, this confusion will be avoided.

eg: test 'FOO="this is --foo"' -- 'systemd.debug="true true true"'

Gives:
argv[0] = '/debug-init'
argv[1] = 'test'
argv[2] = 'systemd.debug=true true true'
envp[0] = 'HOME=/'
envp[1] = 'TERM=linux'
envp[2] = 'FOO=this is --foo'

5d2acfc7b9 kconfig: make allnoconfig disable options behind EMBEDDED and EXPERT
"make allnoconfig" exists to ease testing of minimal configurations.
Documentation/SubmitChecklist includes a note to test with allnoconfig.
This helps catch missing dependencies on common-but-not-required
functionality, which might otherwise go unnoticed.

However, allnoconfig still leaves many symbols enabled, because they're
hidden behind CONFIG_EMBEDDED or CONFIG_EXPERT.  For instance, allnoconfig
still has CONFIG_PRINTK and CONFIG_BLOCK enabled, so drivers don't
typically get build-tested with those disabled.

To address this, introduce a new Kconfig option "allnoconfig_y", used on
symbols which only exist to hide other symbols.  Set it on CONFIG_EMBEDDED
(which then selects CONFIG_EXPERT).  allnoconfig will then disable all the
symbols hidden behind those.

Pull cgroup updates from Tejun Heo:
 "A lot updates for cgroup:

   - The biggest one is cgroup's conversion to kernfs.  cgroup took
     after the long abandoned vfs-entangled sysfs implementation and
     made it even more convoluted over time.  cgroup's internal objects
     were fused with vfs objects which also brought in vfs locking and
     object lifetime rules.  Naturally, there are places where vfs rules
     don't fit and nasty hacks, such as credential switching or lock
     dance interleaving inode mutex and cgroup_mutex with object serial
     number comparison thrown in to decide whether the operation is
     actually necessary, needed to be employed.

     After conversion to kernfs, internal object lifetime and locking
     rules are mostly isolated from vfs interactions allowing shedding
     of several nasty hacks and overall simplification.  This will also
     allow implmentation of operations which may affect multiple cgroups
     which weren't possible before as it would have required nesting
     i_mutexes.

   - Various simplifications including dropping of module support,
     easier cgroup name/path handling, simplified cgroup file type
     handling and task_cg_lists optimization.

   - Prepatory changes for the planned unified hierarchy, which is still
     a patchset away from being actually operational.  The dummy

c4e1acbb35 ACPI / init: Invoke early ACPI initialization later
Commit 73f7d1ca32 (ACPI / init: Run acpi_early_init() before
timekeeping_init()) optimistically moved the early ACPI initialization
before timekeeping_init(), but that didn't work, because it broke fast
TSC calibration for Julian Wollrath on Thinkpad x121e (and most likely
for others too).  The reason is that acpi_early_init() enables the SCI
and that interferes with the fast TSC calibration mechanism.

Thus follow the original idea to execute acpi_early_init() before
efi_enter_virtual_mode() to help the EFI people for now and we can
revisit the other problem that commit 73f7d1ca32 attempted to
address in the future (if really necessary).

2bd59d48eb cgroup: convert to kernfs
cgroup filesystem code was derived from the original sysfs
implementation which was heavily intertwined with vfs objects and
locking with the goal of re-using the existing vfs infrastructure.
That experiment turned out rather disastrous and sysfs switched, a
long time ago, to distributed filesystem model where a separate
representation is maintained which is queried by vfs.  Unfortunately,
cgroup stuck with the failed experiment all these years and
accumulated even more problems over time.

Locking and object lifetime management being entangled with vfs is
probably the most egregious.  vfs is never designed to be misused like
this and cgroup ends up jumping through various convoluted dancing to
make things work.  Even then, operations across multiple cgroups can't
be done safely as it'll deadlock with rename locking.

Recently, kernfs is separated out from sysfs so that it can be used by
users other than sysfs.  This patch converts cgroup to use kernfs,
which will bring the following benefits.

* Separation from vfs internals.  Locking and object lifetime
  management is contained in cgroup proper making things a lot
  simpler.  This removes significant amount of locking convolutions,
  hairy object lifetime rules and the restriction on multi-cgroup
  operations.

* Can drop a lot of code to implement filesystem interface as most are
  provided by kernfs.

* Proper "severing" semantics, which allows controllers to not worry
  about lingering file accesses after offline.

While the preceding patches did as much as possible to make the
transition less painful, large part of the conversion has to be one
discrete step making this patch rather large.  The rest of the commit
message lists notable changes in different areas.

Overall
-------

* vfs constructs replaced with kernfs ones.  cgroup->dentry w/ ->kn,
  cgroupfs_root->sb w/ ->kf_root.

* All dentry accessors are removed.  Helpers to map from kernfs
  constructs are added.

* All vfs plumbing around dentry, inode and bdi removed.

* cgroup_mount() now directly looks for matching root and then
  proceeds to create a new one if not found.

Synchronization and object lifetime
-----------------------------------

* vfs inode locking removed.  Among other things, this removes the
  need for the convolution in cgroup_cfts_commit().  Future patches
  will further simplify it.

* vfs refcnting replaced with cgroup internal ones.  cgroup->refcnt,
  cgroupfs_root->refcnt added.  cgroup_put_root() now directly puts
  root->refcnt and when it reaches zero proceeds to destroy it thus
  merging cgroup_put_root() and the former cgroup_kill_sb().
  Simliarly, cgroup_put() now directly schedules cgroup_free_rcu()
  when refcnt reaches zero.

* Unlike before, kernfs objects don't hold onto cgroup objects.  When
  cgroup destroys a kernfs node, all existing operations are drained
  and the association is broken immediately.  The same for
  cgroupfs_roots and mounts.

* All operations which come through kernfs guarantee that the
  associated cgroup is and stays valid for the duration of operation;
  however, there are two paths which need to find out the associated
  cgroup from dentry without going through kernfs -
  css_tryget_from_dir() and cgroupstats_build().  For these two,
  kernfs_node->priv is RCU managed so that they can dereference it
  under RCU read lock.

File and directory handling
---------------------------

* File and directory operations converted to kernfs_ops and
  kernfs_syscall_ops.

* xattrs is implicitly supported by kernfs.  No need to worry about it
  from cgroup.  This means that "xattr" mount option is no longer
  necessary.  A future patch will add a deprecated warning message
  when sane_behavior.

* When cftype->max_write_len > PAGE_SIZE, it's necessary to make a
  private copy of one of the kernfs_ops to set its atomic_write_len.
  cftype->kf_ops is added and cgroup_init/exit_cftypes() are updated
  to handle it.

* cftype->lockdep_key added so that kernfs lockdep annotation can be
  per cftype.

* Inidividual file entries and open states are now managed by kernfs.
  No need to worry about them from cgroup.  cfent, cgroup_open_file
  and their friends are removed.

* kernfs_nodes are created deactivated and kernfs_activate()
  invocations added to places where creation of new nodes are
  committed.

* cgroup_rmdir() uses kernfs_[un]break_active_protection() for
  self-removal.

v2: - Li pointed out in an earlier patch that specifying "name="
      during mount without subsystem specification should succeed if
      there's an existing hierarchy with a matching name although it
      should fail with -EINVAL if a new hierarchy should be created.
      Prior to the conversion, this used by handled by deferring
      failure from NULL return from cgroup_root_from_opts(), which was
      necessary because root was being created before checking for
      existing ones.  Note that cgroup_root_from_opts() returned an
      ERR_PTR() value for error conditions which require immediate
      mount failure.

      As we now have separate search and creation steps, deferring
      failure from cgroup_root_from_opts() is no longer necessary.
      cgroup_root_from_opts() is updated to always return ERR_PTR()
      value on failure.

    - The logic to match existing roots is updated so that a mount
      attempt with a matching name but different subsys_mask are
      rejected.  This was handled by a separate matching loop under
      the comment "Check for name clashes with existing mounts" but
      got lost during conversion.  Merge the check into the main
      search loop.

    - Add __rcu __force casting in RCU_INIT_POINTER() in
      cgroup_destroy_locked() to avoid the sparse address space
      warning reported by kbuild test bot.  Maybe we want an explicit
      interface to use kn->priv as RCU protected pointer?

v3: Make CONFIG_CGROUPS select CONFIG_KERNFS.

v4: Rebased on top of 0ab02ca8f8 ("cgroup: protect modifications to
    cgroup_idr with cgroup_mutex").

c4ad8f98be execve: use 'struct filename *' for executable name passing
This changes 'do_execve()' to get the executable name as a 'struct
filename', and to free it when it is done.  This is what the normal
users want, and it simplifies and streamlines their error handling.

The controlled lifetime of the executable name also fixes a
use-after-free problem with the trace_sched_process_exec tracepoint: the
lifetime of the passed-in string for kernel users was not at all
obvious, and the user-mode helper code used UMH_WAIT_EXEC to serialize
the pathname allocation lifetime with the execve() having finished,
which in turn meant that the trace point that happened after
mm_release() of the old process VM ended up using already free'd memory.

To solve the kernel string lifetime issue, this simply introduces
"getname_kernel()" that works like the normal user-space getname()
function, except with the source coming from kernel memory.

As Oleg points out, this also means that we could drop the tcomm[] array
from 'struct linux_binprm', since the pathname lifetime now covers
setup_new_exec().  That would be a separate cleanup.

Pull ACPI and power management updates from Rafael Wysocki:
 "As far as the number of commits goes, the top spot belongs to ACPI
  this time with cpufreq in the second position and a handful of PM
  core, PNP and cpuidle updates.  They are fixes and cleanups mostly, as
  usual, with a couple of new features in the mix.

  The most visible change is probably that we will create struct
  acpi_device objects (visible in sysfs) for all devices represented in
  the ACPI tables regardless of their status and there will be a new
  sysfs attribute under those objects allowing user space to check that
  status via _STA.

  Consequently, ACPI device eject or generally hot-removal will not
  delete those objects, unless the table containing the corresponding
  namespace nodes is unloaded, which is extremely rare.  Also ACPI
  container hotplug will be handled quite a bit differently and cpufreq
  will support CPU boost ("turbo") generically and not only in the
  acpi-cpufreq driver.

  Specifics:

   - ACPI core changes to make it create a struct acpi_device object for
     every device represented in the ACPI tables during all namespace
     scans regardless of the current status of that device.  In
     accordance with this, ACPI hotplug operations will not delete those

current code from bootmem users points of view.

Archs already converted to NO_BOOTMEM now directly use memblock

the archs which still uses bootmem, these new apis just fall back to

b35f1819ac mm: create a separate slab for page->ptl allocation
If DEBUG_SPINLOCK and DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC are enabled spinlock_t on x86_64
is 72 bytes.  For page->ptl they will be allocated from kmalloc-96 slab,
so we loose 24 on each.  An average system can easily allocate few tens
thousands of page->ptl and overhead is significant.

Let's create a separate slab for page->ptl allocation to solve this.

To make sure that it really works this time, some numbers from my test
machine (just booted, no load):

Before:
  # grep '^\(kmalloc-96\|page->ptl\)' /proc/slabinfo
  kmalloc-96         31987  32190    128   30    1 : tunables  120   60    8 : slabdata   1073   1073     92
After:
  # grep '^\(kmalloc-96\|page->ptl\)' /proc/slabinfo
  page->ptl          27516  28143     72   53    1 : tunables  120   60    8 : slabdata    531    531      9
  kmalloc-96          3853   5280    128   30    1 : tunables  120   60    8 : slabdata    176    176      0

Note that the patch is useful not only for debug case, but also for
PREEMPT_RT, where spinlock_t is always bloated.

This is a variant patch from Rafael J. Wysocki's
ACPI / init: Run acpi_early_init() before efi_enter_virtual_mode()

According to Matt Fleming, if acpi_early_init() was executed before
efi_enter_virtual_mode(), the EFI initialization could benefit from
it, so Rafael's patch makes that happen.

And, we want accessing ACPI TAD device to set system clock, so move
acpi_early_init() before timekeeping_init(). This final position is
also before efi_enter_virtual_mode().

79bd9814e5 cgroup, memcg: move cgroup_event implementation to memcg
cgroup_event is way over-designed and tries to build a generic
flexible event mechanism into cgroup - fully customizable event
specification for each user of the interface.  This is utterly
unnecessary and overboard especially in the light of the planned
unified hierarchy as there's gonna be single agent.  Simply generating
events at fixed points, or if that's too restrictive, configureable
cadence or single set of configureable points should be enough.

Thankfully, memcg is the only user and gets to keep it.  Replacing it
with something simpler on sane_behavior is strongly recommended.

This patch moves cgroup_event and "cgroup.event_control"
implementation to mm/memcontrol.c.  Clearing of events on cgroup
destruction is moved from cgroup_destroy_locked() to
mem_cgroup_css_offline(), which shouldn't make any noticeable
difference.

cgroup_css() and __file_cft() are exported to enable the move;
however, this will soon be reverted once the event code is updated to
be memcg specific.

Note that "cgroup.event_control" will now exist only on the hierarchy
with memcg attached to it.  While this change is visible to userland,
it is unlikely to be noticeable as the file has never been meaningful
outside memcg.

Aside from the above change, this is pure code relocation.

v2: Per Li Zefan's comments, init/Kconfig updated accordingly and
    poll.h inclusion moved from cgroup.c to memcontrol.c.

78dc53c422 Merge branch 'for-linus2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jmorris/linux-security
Pull security subsystem updates from James Morris:
 "In this patchset, we finally get an SELinux update, with Paul Moore
  taking over as maintainer of that code.

  Also a significant update for the Keys subsystem, as well as
  maintenance updates to Smack, IMA, TPM, and Apparmor"

and since I wanted to know more about the updates to key handling,
here's the explanation from David Howells on that:

 "Okay.  There are a number of separate bits.  I'll go over the big bits
  and the odd important other bit, most of the smaller bits are just
  fixes and cleanups.  If you want the small bits accounting for, I can
  do that too.

   (1) Keyring capacity expansion.

        KEYS: Consolidate the concept of an 'index key' for key access
        KEYS: Introduce a search context structure
        KEYS: Search for auth-key by name rather than target key ID
        Add a generic associative array implementation.
        KEYS: Expand the capacity of a keyring

     Several of the patches are providing an expansion of the capacity of a
     keyring.  Currently, the maximum size of a keyring payload is one page.
     Subtract a small header and then divide up into pointers, that only gives
     you ~500 pointers on an x86_64 box.  However, since the NFS idmapper uses
     a keyring to store ID mapping data, that has proven to be insufficient to
     the cause.

     Whatever data structure I use to handle the keyring payload, it can only
     store pointers to keys, not the keys themselves because several keyrings
     may point to a single key.  This precludes inserting, say, and rb_node
     struct into the key struct for this purpose.

     I could make an rbtree of records such that each record has an rb_node
     and a key pointer, but that would use four words of space per key stored
     in the keyring.  It would, however, be able to use much existing code.

     I selected instead a non-rebalancing radix-tree type approach as that
     could have a better space-used/key-pointer ratio.  I could have used the
     radix tree implementation that we already have and insert keys into it by
     their serial numbers, but that means any sort of search must iterate over
     the whole radix tree.  Further, its nodes are a bit on the capacious side
     for what I want - especially given that key serial numbers are randomly
     allocated, thus leaving a lot of empty space in the tree.

     So what I have is an associative array that internally is a radix-tree
     with 16 pointers per node where the index key is constructed from the key
     type pointer and the key description.  This means that an exact lookup by
     type+description is very fast as this tells us how to navigate directly to
     the target key.

     I made the data structure general in lib/assoc_array.c as far as it is
     concerned, its index key is just a sequence of bits that leads to a
     pointer.  It's possible that someone else will be able to make use of it
     also.  FS-Cache might, for example.

   (2) Mark keys as 'trusted' and keyrings as 'trusted only'.

        KEYS: verify a certificate is signed by a 'trusted' key
        KEYS: Make the system 'trusted' keyring viewable by userspace
        KEYS: Add a 'trusted' flag and a 'trusted only' flag
        KEYS: Separate the kernel signature checking keyring from module signing

     These patches allow keys carrying asymmetric public keys to be marked as
     being 'trusted' and allow keyrings to be marked as only permitting the
     addition or linkage of trusted keys.

     Keys loaded from hardware during kernel boot or compiled into the kernel
     during build are marked as being trusted automatically.  New keys can be
     loaded at runtime with add_key().  They are checked against the system
     keyring contents and if their signatures can be validated with keys that
     are already marked trusted, then they are marked trusted also and can
     thus be added into the master keyring.

     Patches from Mimi Zohar make this usable with the IMA keyrings also.

   (3) Remove the date checks on the key used to validate a module signature.

        X.509: Remove certificate date checks

     It's not reasonable to reject a signature just because the key that it was
     generated with is no longer valid datewise - especially if the kernel
     hasn't yet managed to set the system clock when the first module is
     loaded - so just remove those checks.

   (4) Make it simpler to deal with additional X.509 being loaded into the kernel.

        KEYS: Load *.x509 files into kernel keyring
        KEYS: Have make canonicalise the paths of the X.509 certs better to deduplicate

     The builder of the kernel now just places files with the extension ".x509"
     into the kernel source or build trees and they're concatenated by the
     kernel build and stuffed into the appropriate section.

   (5) Add support for userspace kerberos to use keyrings.

        KEYS: Add per-user_namespace registers for persistent per-UID kerberos caches
        KEYS: Implement a big key type that can save to tmpfs

     Fedora went to, by default, storing kerberos tickets and tokens in tmpfs.
     We looked at storing it in keyrings instead as that confers certain
     advantages such as tickets being automatically deleted after a certain
     amount of time and the ability for the kernel to get at these tokens more
     easily.

     To make this work, two things were needed:

     (a) A way for the tickets to persist beyond the lifetime of all a user's
         sessions so that cron-driven processes can still use them.

         The problem is that a user's session keyrings are deleted when the
         session that spawned them logs out and the user's user keyring is
         deleted when the UID is deleted (typically when the last log out
         happens), so neither of these places is suitable.

         I've added a system keyring into which a 'persistent' keyring is
         created for each UID on request.  Each time a user requests their
         persistent keyring, the expiry time on it is set anew.  If the user
         doesn't ask for it for, say, three days, the keyring is automatically
         expired and garbage collected using the existing gc.  All the kerberos
         tokens it held are then also gc'd.

     (b) A key type that can hold really big tickets (up to 1MB in size).

         The problem is that Active Directory can return huge tickets with lots
         of auxiliary data attached.  We don't, however, want to eat up huge
         tracts of unswappable kernel space for this, so if the ticket is
         greater than a certain size, we create a swappable shmem file and dump
         the contents in there and just live with the fact we then have an
         inode and a dentry overhead.  If the ticket is smaller than that, we
         slap it in a kmalloc()'d buffer"

This reverts commit ea1e7ed337.

Al points out that while the commit *does* actually create a separate
slab for the page->ptl allocation, that slab is never actually used, and
the code continues to use kmalloc/kfree.

Damien Wyart points out that the original patch did have the conversion
to use kmem_cache_alloc/free, so it got lost somewhere on its way to me.

Revert the half-arsed attempt that didn't do anything.  If we really do
want the special slab (remember: this is all relevant just for debug
builds, so it's not necessarily all that critical) we might as well redo
the patch fully.

2d3c627502 Revert "init/Kconfig: add option to disable kernel compression"
This reverts commit 69f0554ec2.

This patch breaks randconfig on at least the x86-64 architecture, and
most likely on others.  There is work underway to support uncompressed
kernels in a generic way, but it looks like it will amount to
rewriting the support from scratch; see the LKML thread in the Link:
for info.

Therefore, revert this change and wait for the fix.

ea1e7ed337 mm: create a separate slab for page->ptl allocation
If DEBUG_SPINLOCK and DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC are enabled spinlock_t on x86_64
is 72 bytes.  For page->ptl they will be allocated from kmalloc-96 slab,
so we loose 24 on each.  An average system can easily allocate few tens
thousands of page->ptl and overhead is significant.

Let's create a separate slab for page->ptl allocation to solve this.

42a2d923cc Merge git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net-next
Pull networking updates from David Miller:

 1) The addition of nftables.  No longer will we need protocol aware
    firewall filtering modules, it can all live in userspace.

    At the core of nftables is a, for lack of a better term, virtual
    machine that executes byte codes to inspect packet or metadata
    (arriving interface index, etc.) and make verdict decisions.

    Besides support for loading packet contents and comparing them, the
    interpreter supports lookups in various datastructures as
    fundamental operations.  For example sets are supports, and
    therefore one could create a set of whitelist IP address entries
    which have ACCEPT verdicts attached to them, and use the appropriate
    byte codes to do such lookups.

    Since the interpreted code is composed in userspace, userspace can
    do things like optimize things before giving it to the kernel.

    Another major improvement is the capability of atomically updating
    portions of the ruleset.  In the existing netfilter implementation,
    one has to update the entire rule set in order to make a change and
    this is very expensive.

    Userspace tools exist to create nftables rules using existing
    netfilter rule sets, but both kernel implementations will need to
    co-exist for quite some time as we transition from the old to the
    new stuff.

    Kudos to Patrick McHardy, Pablo Neira Ayuso, and others who have
    worked so hard on this.

 2) Daniel Borkmann and Hannes Frederic Sowa made several improvements
    to our pseudo-random number generator, mostly used for things like
    UDP port randomization and netfitler, amongst other things.

    In particular the taus88 generater is updated to taus113, and test
    cases are added.

 3) Support 64-bit rates in HTB and TBF schedulers, from Eric Dumazet
    and Yang Yingliang.

 4) Add support for new 577xx tigon3 chips to tg3 driver, from Nithin
    Sujir.

 5) Fix two fatal flaws in TCP dynamic right sizing, from Eric Dumazet,
    Neal Cardwell, and Yuchung Cheng.

 6) Allow IP_TOS and IP_TTL to be specified in sendmsg() ancillary
    control message data, much like other socket option attributes.
    From Francesco Fusco.

 7) Allow applications to specify a cap on the rate computed
    automatically by the kernel for pacing flows, via a new
    SO_MAX_PACING_RATE socket option.  From Eric Dumazet.

 8) Make the initial autotuned send buffer sizing in TCP more closely
    reflect actual needs, from Eric Dumazet.

 9) Currently early socket demux only happens for TCP sockets, but we
    can do it for connected UDP sockets too.  Implementation from Shawn
    Bohrer.

10) Refactor inet socket demux with the goal of improving hash demux
    performance for listening sockets.  With the main goals being able
    to use RCU lookups on even request sockets, and eliminating the
    listening lock contention.  From Eric Dumazet.

11) The bonding layer has many demuxes in it's fast path, and an RCU
    conversion was started back in 3.11, several changes here extend the
    RCU usage to even more locations.  From Ding Tianhong and Wang
    Yufen, based upon suggestions by Nikolay Aleksandrov and Veaceslav
    Falico.

12) Allow stackability of segmentation offloads to, in particular, allow
    segmentation offloading over tunnels.  From Eric Dumazet.

13) Significantly improve the handling of secret keys we input into the
    various hash functions in the inet hashtables, TCP fast open, as
    well as syncookies.  From Hannes Frederic Sowa.  The key fundamental
    operation is "net_get_random_once()" which uses static keys.

    Hannes even extended this to ipv4/ipv6 fragmentation handling and
    our generic flow dissector.

14) The generic driver layer takes care now to set the driver data to
    NULL on device removal, so it's no longer necessary for drivers to
    explicitly set it to NULL any more.  Many drivers have been cleaned
    up in this way, from Jingoo Han.

15) Add a BPF based packet scheduler classifier, from Daniel Borkmann.

16) Improve CRC32 interfaces and generic SKB checksum iterators so that
    SCTP's checksumming can more cleanly be handled.  Also from Daniel
    Borkmann.

17) Add a new PMTU discovery mode, IP_PMTUDISC_INTERFACE, which forces
    using the interface MTU value.  This helps avoid PMTU attacks,
    particularly on DNS servers.  From Hannes Frederic Sowa.

18) Use generic XPS for transmit queue steering rather than internal
    (re-)implementation in virtio-net.  From Jason Wang.

1bf49dd4be ./Makefile: export initial ramdisk compression config option
Make menuconfig allows one to choose compression format of an initial
ramdisk image.  But this choice does not result in duly compressed ramdisk
image.  Because - $ make install - does not pass on the selected
compression choice to the dracut(8) tool, which creates the initramfs
file.  dracut(8) generates the image with the default compression, ie.
gzip(1).

This patch exports the selected compression option to a sub-shell
environment, so that it could be used by dracut(8) tool to generate
appropriately compressed initramfs images.

There isn't a straightforward way to pass on options to dracut(8) via
positional parameters.  Because it is indirectly invoked at the end of a $
make install sequence.

69f0554ec2 init/Kconfig: add option to disable kernel compression
Some ARC users say they can boot faster with without kernel compression.
This probably depends on things like the FLASH chip they use etc.

Until now, kernel compression can only be disabled by removing "select
HAVE_<compression>" lines from the architecture Kconfig.  So add the
Kconfig logic to permit disabling of kernel compression.

ba24762bd5 init: make init failures more explicit
This patch proposes to make init failures more explicit.

Before this, the "No init found" message didn't help much.  It could
sometimes be misleading and actually mean "No *working* init found".

This message could hide many different issues:
 - no init program candidates found at all
 - some init program candidates exist but can't be executed (missing
   execute permissions, failed to load shared libraries, executable
   compiled for an unknown architecture...)

This patch notifies the kernel user when a candidate init program is found
but can't be executed.  In each failure situation, the error code is
displayed, to quickly find the root cause.  "No init found" is also
replaced by "No working init found", which is more correct.

This will help embedded Linux developers (especially the newcomers),
regularly making and debugging new root filesystems.

suggestions.

df3ef3af50 init/do_mounts_rd.c: fix NULL pointer dereference while loading initramfs
Make menuconfig allows one to choose compression format of an initial
ramdisk image.  But this choice does not result in duly compressed initial
ramdisk image.  Because - $ make install - does not pass on the selected
compression choice to the dracut(8) tool, which creates the initramfs
file.  dracut(8) generates the image with the default compression, ie.
gzip(1).

If a user chose any other compression instead of gzip(1), it leads to a
crash due to NULL pointer dereference in crd_load(), caused by a NULL
function pointer returned by the 'decompress_method()' routine.  Because
the initramfs image is gzip(1) compressed, whereas the kernel knows only
to decompress the chosen format and not gzip(1).

This patch replaces the crash by an explicit panic() call with an
appropriate error message. This shall prevent the kernel from
eventually panicking in: init/do_mounts.c: mount_block_root() with
  -> panic("VFS: Unable to mount root fs on %s", b);

We ran into these problems because it was impossible to launch a

This reverts back to the old behavior before this option was added.  The
option will be re-added in a userspace selectable manor such that
userspace can choose when it is and when it is not appropriate.

08746a65c2 init: fix in-place parameter modification regression
Before commit 026cee0086
("params: <level>_initcall-like kernel parameters") the __setup
parameter parsing code could modify parameter in the
static_command_line buffer and such modifications were kept. After
that commit such modifications are destroyed during per-initcall level
parameter parsing because the same static_command_line buffer is used
and only parameters for appropriate initcall level are parsed.

That change broke at least parsing "ubd" parameter in the ubd driver
when the COW file is used.

Now the separate buffer is used for per-initcall parameter parsing.

c4b2c0c5f6 static_key: WARN on usage before jump_label_init was called
Usage of the static key primitives to toggle a branch must not be used
before jump_label_init() is called from init/main.c. jump_label_init
reorganizes and wires up the jump_entries so usage before that could
have unforeseen consequences.

Following primitives are now checked for correct use:
* static_key_slow_inc
* static_key_slow_dec
* static_key_slow_dec_deferred
* jump_label_rate_limit

The x86 architecture already checks this by testing if the default_nop
was already replaced with an optimal nop or with a branch instruction. It
will panic then. Other architectures don't check for this.

Because we need to relax this check for the x86 arch to allow code to
transition from default_nop to the enabled state and other architectures
did not check for this at all this patch introduces checking on the
static_key primitives in a non-arch dependent manner.

All checked functions are considered slow-path so the additional check
does no harm to performance.

The warnings are best observed with earlyprintk.

Based on a patch from Andi Kleen.

ff3fb25412 nohz: Drop generic vtime obsolete dependency on CONFIG_64BIT
The CONFIG_64BIT requirement on vtime can finally be removed
since we now depend on HAVE_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_GEN which
already takes care of the arch ability to handle nsecs based
cputime_t safely.

554b0004d0 vtime: Add HAVE_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_GEN Kconfig
With VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_GEN, cputime_t becomes 64-bit. In order
to use that feature, arch code should be audited to ensure there are no
races in concurrent read/write of cputime_t. For example,
reading/writing 64-bit cputime_t on some 32-bit arches may require
multiple accesses for low and high value parts, so proper locking
is needed to protect against concurrent accesses.

Therefore, add CONFIG_HAVE_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_GEN which arches can
enable after they've been audited for potential races.

This option is automatically enabled on 64-bit platforms.

Feature requested by Frederic Weisbecker.

11097a0367 modules: do not depend on kconfig to set 'modules' option to symbol MODULES
Currently, the MODULES symbol is special-cased in different places in the
kconfig language. For example, if no symbol is defined to enable tristates,
then kconfig looks up for a symbol named 'MODULES', and forces the 'modules'
option onto that symbol.

This causes problems as such:
  - since MODULES is special-cased, reading the configuration with
    KCONFIG_ALLCONFIG set will forcibly set MODULES to be 'valid' (ie.
    it has a valid value), when no such value was previously set. So
    MODULES defaults to 'n' unless it is present in KCONFIG_ALLCONFIG
  - other third-party projects may decide that 'MODULES' plays a different
    role for them

This has been exposed by cset #cfa98f2e:
    kconfig: do not override symbols already set
and reported by Stephen in:
    http://marc.info/?l=linux-next&m=137592137915234&w=2

As suggested by Sam, we explicitly define the MODULES symbol to be the
tristate-enabler. This will allow us to drop special-casing of MODULES
in the kconfig language, later.

(Note: this patch is not a fix to Stephen's issue, just a first step).

d84d27a491 context_tracking: Remove full dynticks' hacky dependency on wide context tracking
Now that the full dynticks subsystem only enables the context tracking
on full dynticks CPUs, lets remove the dependency on CONTEXT_TRACKING_FORCE

This dependency was a hack to enable the context tracking widely for the
full dynticks susbsystem until the latter becomes able to enable it in a
more CPU-finegrained fashion.

Now CONTEXT_TRACKING_FORCE only stands for testing on archs that
work on support for the context tracking while full dynticks can't be
used yet due to unmet dependencies. It simulates a system where all CPUs
are full dynticks so that RCU user extended quiescent states and dynticks
cputime accounting can be tested on the given arch.

0db0628d90 kernel: delete __cpuinit usage from all core kernel files
The __cpuinit type of throwaway sections might have made sense
some time ago when RAM was more constrained, but now the savings
do not offset the cost and complications.  For example, the fix in
commit 5e427ec2d0 ("x86: Fix bit corruption at CPU resume time")
is a good example of the nasty type of bugs that can be created
with improper use of the various __init prefixes.

After a discussion on LKML[1] it was decided that cpuinit should go
the way of devinit and be phased out.  Once all the users are gone,
we can then finally remove the macros themselves from linux/init.h.

This removes all the uses of the __cpuinit macros from C files in
the core kernel directories (kernel, init, lib, mm, and include)

345c905d13 slub: Make cpu partial slab support configurable
CPU partial support can introduce level of indeterminism that is not
wanted in certain context (like a realtime kernel). Make it
configurable.

 "The timer changes contain:

   - posix timer code consolidation and fixes for odd corner cases

   - sched_clock implementation moved from ARM to core code to avoid

   - generic support for Xen suspend/resume oddities

   - the usual lot of fixes and cleanups all over the place

  The parts which touch other areas (ARM/XEN) have been coordinated with
  the relevant maintainers.  Though this results in an handful of
  trivial to solve merge conflicts, which we preferred over nasty cross
  tree merge dependencies.

  The patches which have been committed in the last few days are bug

ff1c8fac88 init: remove permanent string buffer from do_one_initcall()
do_one_initcall() uses a 64 byte string buffer to save a message. This
buffer is declared static and is only used at boot up and when a module
is loaded. As 64 bytes is very small, and this function has very limited
scope, there's no reason to waste permanent memory with this string and
not just simply put it on the stack.

Jiri Slaby
4bb1667255 build some drivers only when compile-testing
Some drivers can be built on more platforms than they run on. This is
a burden for users and distributors who package a kernel. They have to
manually deselect some (for them useless) drivers when updating their
configs via oldconfig. And yet, sometimes it is even impossible to
disable the drivers without patching the kernel.

Introduce a new config option COMPILE_TEST and make all those drivers
to depend on the platform they run on, or on the COMPILE_TEST option.
Now, when users/distributors choose COMPILE_TEST=n they will not have
the drivers in their allmodconfig setups, but developers still can
compile-test them with COMPILE_TEST=y.

Now the drivers where we use this new option:
* PTP_1588_CLOCK_PCH: The PCH EG20T is only compatible with Intel Atom
  processors so it should depend on x86.
* FB_GEODE: Geode is 32-bit only so only enable it for X86_32.
* USB_CHIPIDEA_IMX: The OF_DEVICE dependency will be met on powerpc
  systems -- which do not actually support the hardware via that
  method.
* INTEL_MID_PTI: It is specific to the Penwell type of Intel Atom
  device.

[v2]
* remove EXPERT dependency

[gregkh - remove chipidea portion, as it's incorrect, and also doesn't
 apply to my driver-core tree]

127781d1ba rcu: Remove TINY_PREEMPT_RCU
TINY_PREEMPT_RCU adds significant code and complexity, but does not
offer commensurate benefits.  People currently using TINY_PREEMPT_RCU
can get much better memory footprint with TINY_RCU, or, if they really
need preemptible RCU, they can use TREE_PREEMPT_RCU with a relatively
minor degradation in memory footprint.  Please note that this move
has been widely publicized on LKML (https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/11/12/545)
and on LWN (http://lwn.net/Articles/541037/).

This commit therefore removes TINY_PREEMPT_RCU.

Notice the above call chain.

rcu_start_future_gp() is called with the rnp->lock held. Then it calls
rcu_start_gp_advance, which does a wakeup.

You can't do wakeups while holding the rnp->lock, as that would mean
that you could not do a rcu_read_unlock() while holding the rq lock, or
any lock that was taken while holding the rq lock. This is because...
(See below).

Notice the above trace.

perf took its own ctx->lock, which can be taken while holding the rq
lock. While holding this lock, it did a rcu_read_unlock(). The
perf_lock_task_context() basically looks like:

rcu_read_lock();
raw_spin_lock(ctx->lock);
rcu_read_unlock();

Now, what looks to have happened, is that we scheduled after taking that
first rcu_read_lock() but before taking the spin lock. When we scheduled
back in and took the ctx->lock, the following rcu_read_unlock()
triggered the "special" code.

The rcu_read_unlock_special() takes the rnp->lock, which gives us a
possible deadlock scenario.

	CPU0		CPU1		CPU2
	----		----		----

				     rcu_nocb_kthread()
    lock(rq->lock);
		    lock(ctx->lock);
				     lock(rnp->lock);

				     wake_up();

				     lock(rq->lock);

		    rcu_read_unlock();

		    rcu_read_unlock_special();

		    lock(rnp->lock);
    lock(ctx->lock);

9e6302056f perf: Use hrtimers for event multiplexing
The current scheme of using the timer tick was fine for per-thread
events. However, it was causing bias issues in system-wide mode
(including for uncore PMUs). Event groups would not get their fair
share of runtime on the PMU. With tickless kernels, if a core is idle
there is no timer tick, and thus no event rotation (multiplexing).
However, there are events (especially uncore events) which do count
even though cores are asleep.

This patch changes the timer source for multiplexing.  It introduces a
per-PMU per-cpu hrtimer. The advantage is that even when a core goes
idle, it will come back to service the hrtimer, thus multiplexing on
system-wide events works much better.

The per-PMU implementation (suggested by PeterZ) enables adjusting the
multiplexing interval per PMU. The preferred interval is stashed into
the struct pmu. If not set, it will be forced to the default interval
value.

In order to minimize the impact of the hrtimer, it is turned on and
off on demand. When the PMU on a CPU is overcommited, the hrtimer is
activated.  It is stopped when the PMU is not overcommitted.

In order for this to work properly, we had to change the order of
initialization in start_kernel() such that hrtimer_init() is run
before perf_event_init().

The default interval in milliseconds is set to a timer tick just like
with the old code. We will provide a sysctl to tune this in another
patch.

534c97b095 Merge branch 'timers-nohz-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
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.

73c3082877 rcu: Fix full dynticks' dependency on wide RCU nocb mode
Commit 0637e02939
("nohz: Select wide RCU nocb for full dynticks") intended
to force CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU_ALL=y when full dynticks is
enabled.

However this option is part of a choice menu and Kconfig's
"select" instruction has no effect on such targets.

Fix this by using reverse dependencies on the targets we
don't want instead.

bf5d770bd2 init: Do not warn on non-zero initcall return
Commit f91eb62f71 ("init: scream bloody murder if interrupts are
enabled too early") added three new warnings.  The first two seemed
reasonable, but the third included a warning when an initcall returned
non-zero.  Although, the third WARN() does include an imbalanced preempt
disabled, or irqs disable, it shouldn't warn if it only had an initcall
that just returns non-zero.

In fact, according to Linus, it shouldn't print at all.  As it only
prints with initcall_debug set, and that already shows enough
information to fix things.

657a52095f init/Kconfig: re-order CONFIG_EXPERT options to fix menuconfig display
The kconfig language requires that dependent options all follow the
menuconfig symbol in order to be collapsed below it.  Recently some hidden
options were added below the EXPERT menuconfig, but did not depend on
EXPERT (because hidden options can't).  This broke the display.  So
re-order all these options, and while we're here stick the PCI quirks
under the EXPERT menu (since it isn't sitting with any related options).

Before this commit, we get:
	[*] Configure standard kernel features (expert users)  --->
	[ ] Sysctl syscall support
	[*] Load all symbols for debugging/ksymoops
	...
	[ ] Embedded system

Now we get the older (and correct) behavior:
	[*] Configure standard kernel features (expert users)  --->
	[ ] Embedded system
And if you go into the expert menu you get the expert options:
	[ ] Sysctl syscall support
	[*] Load all symbols for debugging/ksymoops

if in this places the cleanup pointer is NULL, convert them to use the

Pull core timer updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "The main changes in this cycle's merge are:

   - Implement shadow timekeeper to shorten in kernel reader side
     blocking, by Thomas Gleixner.

   - Posix timers enhancements by Pavel Emelyanov:

   - allocate timer ID per process, so that exact timer ID allocations
     can be re-created be checkpoint/restore code.

   - debuggability and tooling (/proc/PID/timers, etc.) improvements.

   - suspend/resume enhancements by Feng Tang: on certain new Intel Atom
     processors (Penwell and Cloverview), there is a feature that the
     TSC won't stop in S3 state, so the TSC value won't be reset to 0
     after resume.  This can be taken advantage of by the generic via
     the CLOCK_SOURCE_SUSPEND_NONSTOP flag: instead of using the RTC to
     recover/approximate sleep time, the main (and precise) clocksource
     can be used.

   - Fix /proc/timer_list for 4096 CPUs by Nathan Zimmer: on so many
     CPUs the file goes beyond 4MB of size and thus the current
     simplistic seqfile approach fails.  Convert /proc/timer_list to a
     proper seq_file with its own iterator.

   - Cleanups and refactorings of the core timekeeping code by John
     Stultz.

   - International Atomic Clock time is managed by the NTP code
     internally currently but not exposed externally.  Separate the TAI
     code out and add CLOCK_TAI support and TAI support to the hrtimer
     and posix-timer code, by John Stultz.

   - Add deep idle support enhacement to the broadcast clockevents core
     timer code, by Daniel Lezcano: add an opt-in CLOCK_EVT_FEAT_DYNIRQ
     clockevents feature (which will be utilized by future clockevents
     driver updates), which allows the use of IRQ affinities to avoid
     spurious wakeups of idle CPUs - the right CPU with an expiring
     timer will be woken.

   - Add new ARM bcm281xx clocksource driver, by Christian Daudt

f91eb62f71 init: scream bloody murder if interrupts are enabled too early
As I was testing a lot of my code recently, and having several
"successes", I accidentally noticed in the dmesg this little line:

  start_kernel(): bug: interrupts were enabled *very* early, fixing it

Sure enough, one of my patches two commits ago enabled interrupts early.
The sad part here is that I never noticed it, and I ran several tests with
ktest too, and ktest did not notice this line.

What ktest looks for (and so does many other automated testing scripts) is
a back trace produced by a WARN_ON() or BUG().  As a back trace was never
produced, my buggy patch could have slipped into linux-next, or even
worse, mainline.

Adding a WARN(!irqs_disabled()) makes this bug a little more obvious:

Do you see it?

The original version of this patch just slapped a WARN_ON() in there and
kept the printk().  Ard van Breemen suggested using the WARN() interface,
which makes the code a bit cleaner.

Also, while examining other warnings in init/main.c, I found two other
locations that deserve a bloody murder scream if their conditions are hit,
and updated them accordingly.

c58b0df12a nohz: Select VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_GEN from full dynticks config
Turn the full dynticks passive dependency on VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_GEN
to an active one.

The full dynticks Kconfig is currently hidden behind the full dynticks
cputime accounting, which is an awkward and counter-intuitive layout:
the user first has to select the dynticks cputime accounting in order
to make the full dynticks feature to be visible.

We definetly want it the other way around. The usual way to perform
this kind of active dependency is use "select" on the depended target.
Now we can't use the Kconfig "select" instruction when the target is
a "choice".

So this patch inspires on how the RCU subsystem Kconfig interact
with its dependencies on SMP and PREEMPT: we make sure that cputime
accounting can't propose another option than VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_GEN
when NO_HZ_FULL is selected by using the right "depends on" instruction
for each cputime accounting choices.

v2: Keep full dynticks cputime accounting available even without
full dynticks, as per Paul McKenney's suggestion.

d1e43fa5f8 nohz: Ensure full dynticks CPUs are RCU nocbs
We need full dynticks CPU to also be RCU nocb so
that we don't have to keep the tick to handle RCU

Make sure the range passed to nohz_full= boot
parameter is a subset of rcu_nocbs=

The CPUs that fail to meet this requirement will be
excluded from the nohz_full range. This is checked
early in boot time, before any CPU has the opportunity
to stop its tick.

3451d0243c nohz: Rename CONFIG_NO_HZ to CONFIG_NO_HZ_COMMON
We are planning to convert the dynticks Kconfig options layout
into a choice menu. The user must be able to easily pick
any of the following implementations: constant periodic tick,
idle dynticks, full dynticks.

As this implies a mutual exclusion, the two dynticks implementions
need to converge on the selection of a common Kconfig option in order
to ease the sharing of a common infrastructure.

It would thus seem pretty natural to reuse CONFIG_NO_HZ to
that end. It already implements all the idle dynticks code
and the full dynticks depends on all that code for now.
So ideally the choice menu would propose CONFIG_NO_HZ_IDLE and
CONFIG_NO_HZ_EXTENDED then both would select CONFIG_NO_HZ.

On the other hand we want to stay backward compatible: if
CONFIG_NO_HZ is set in an older config file, we want to
enable CONFIG_NO_HZ_IDLE by default.

But we can't afford both at the same time or we run into
a circular dependency:

1) CONFIG_NO_HZ_IDLE and CONFIG_NO_HZ_EXTENDED both select
   CONFIG_NO_HZ
2) If CONFIG_NO_HZ is set, we default to CONFIG_NO_HZ_IDLE

We might be able to support that from Kconfig/Kbuild but it
may not be wise to introduce such a confusing behaviour.

So to solve this, create a new CONFIG_NO_HZ_COMMON option
which gathers the common code between idle and full dynticks
(that common code for now is simply the idle dynticks code)
and select it from their referring Kconfig.

Then we'll later create CONFIG_NO_HZ_IDLE and map CONFIG_NO_HZ
to it for backward compatibility.

c0f4dfd4f9 rcu: Make RCU_FAST_NO_HZ take advantage of numbered callbacks
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.

a488985851 rcu: Distinguish "rcuo" kthreads by RCU flavor
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".

particularly for randconfig testing, so this commit adds a new set of
kernel configuration parameters.  CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU_NONE (the default)
retains the old behavior, CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU_ZERO offloads callback
processing from CPU 0 (along with any other CPUs specified by the
rcu_nocbs boot-time parameter), and CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU_ALL offloads
callback processing from all CPUs.

34ed62461a rcu: Remove restrictions on no-CBs CPUs
Currently, CPU 0 is constrained to not be a no-CBs CPU, and furthermore
at least one no-CBs CPU must remain online at any given time.  These
restrictions are problematic in some situations, such as cases where
all CPUs must run a real-time workload that needs to be insulated from
OS jitter and latencies due to RCU callback invocation.  This commit
therefore provides no-CBs CPUs a (very crude and energy-inefficient)
way to start and to wait for grace periods independently of the normal
RCU callback mechanisms.  This approach allows any or all of the CPUs to
be designated as no-CBs CPUs, and allows any proper subset of the CPUs
(whether no-CBs CPUs or not) to be offlined.

This commit also provides a fix for a locking bug spotted by Xie
ChanglongX <changlongx.xie@intel.com>.

8b43876643 context_tracking: Enable probes by default for selftesting
Until we provide the nohz_mask boot parameter, keeping

It's furthermore confusing for the users which don't expect

ad2b13536a tick: Call tick_init late
To convert the clockevents code to cpumask_var_t we need to move the
init call after the allocator setup. 

Clockevents are earliest registered from time_init() as they need
interrupts being set up, so this is safe.

Pull new ARC architecture from Vineet Gupta:
 "Initial ARC Linux port with some fixes on top for 3.9-rc1:

  I would like to introduce the Linux port to ARC Processors (from
  Synopsys) for 3.9-rc1.  The patch-set has been discussed on the public
  lists since Nov and has received a fair bit of review, specially from
  Arnd, tglx, Al and other subsystem maintainers for DeviceTree, kgdb...

  The arch bits are in arch/arc, some asm-generic changes (acked by
  Arnd), a minor change to PARISC (acked by Helge).

  The series is a touch bigger for a new port for 2 main reasons:

   1. It enables a basic kernel in first sub-series and adds
      ptrace/kgdb/.. later

   2. Some of the fallout of review (DeviceTree support, multi-platform-
      image support) were added on top of orig series, primarily to
      record the revision history.

  This updated pull request additionally contains

   - fixes due to our GNU tools catching up with the new syscall/ptrace
     ABI

   - some (minor) cross-arch Kconfig updates."

94f2f14234 Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace
Pull user namespace and namespace infrastructure changes from Eric W Biederman:
 "This set of changes starts with a few small enhnacements to the user
  namespace.  reboot support, allowing more arbitrary mappings, and
  support for mounting devpts, ramfs, tmpfs, and mqueuefs as just the
  user namespace root.

  I do my best to document that if you care about limiting your
  unprivileged users that when you have the user namespace support
  enabled you will need to enable memory control groups.

  There is a minor bug fix to prevent overflowing the stack if someone
  creates way too many user namespaces.

  The bulk of the changes are a continuation of the kuid/kgid push down
  work through the filesystems.  These changes make using uids and gids
  typesafe which ensures that these filesystems are safe to use when
  multiple user namespaces are in use.  The filesystems converted for
  3.9 are ceph, 9p, afs, ocfs2, gfs2, ncpfs, nfs, nfsd, and cifs.  The
  changes for these filesystems were a little more involved so I split
  the changes into smaller hopefully obviously correct changes.

  XFS is the only filesystem that remains.  I was hoping I could get
  that in this release so that user namespace support would be enabled
  with an allyesconfig or an allmodconfig but it looks like the xfs
  changes need another couple of days before it they are ready."

a kgid_t don't use the EXTRACT macro.  Instead perform the work of
the extract macro explicitly.  Read the value with ntohl and
convert it to the appropriate type with make_kuid or make_kgid.

83e6818974 efi: Make 'efi_enabled' a function to query EFI facilities
Originally 'efi_enabled' indicated whether a kernel was booted from
EFI firmware. Over time its semantics have changed, and it now
indicates whether or not we are booted on an EFI machine with
bit-native firmware, e.g. 64-bit kernel with 64-bit firmware.

The immediate motivation for this patch is the bug report at,

    https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-cdimage/+bug/1040557

which details how running a platform driver on an EFI machine that is
designed to run under BIOS can cause the machine to become
bricked. Also, the following report,

    https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=47121

details how running said driver can also cause Machine Check
Exceptions. Drivers need a new means of detecting whether they're
running on an EFI machine, as sadly the expression,

    if (!efi_enabled)

hasn't been a sufficient condition for quite some time.

Users actually want to query 'efi_enabled' for different reasons -
what they really want access to is the list of available EFI
facilities.

For instance, the x86 reboot code needs to know whether it can invoke
the ResetSystem() function provided by the EFI runtime services, while
the ACPI OSL code wants to know whether the EFI config tables were
mapped successfully. There are also checks in some of the platform
driver code to simply see if they're running on an EFI machine (which
would make it a bad idea to do BIOS-y things).

This patch is a prereq for the samsung-laptop fix patch.

9fc52d832b rcu: Allow TREE_PREEMPT_RCU on UP systems
The TINY_PREEMPT_RCU is complex, does not provide that much memory
savings, and therefore TREE_PREEMPT_RCU should be used instead.  The
systems where the difference between TINY_PREEMPT_RCU and TREE_PREEMPT_RCU
are quite small compared to the memory footprint of CONFIG_PREEMPT.

This commit therefore takes a first step towards eliminating
TINY_PREEMPT_RCU by allowing TREE_PREEMPT_RCU to be configured on !SMP

adds RCU CPU stall warnings to tiny RCU if RCU_TRACE=y.  This keeps
the memory footprint small, while still enabling CPU stall warnings
in kernels built to enable them.

Updated to include Josh Triplett's suggested use of RCU_STALL_COMMON

abf917cd91 cputime: Generic on-demand virtual cputime accounting
If we want to stop the tick further idle, we need to be
able to account the cputime without using the tick.

Virtual based cputime accounting solves that problem by
hooking into kernel/user boundaries.

However implementing CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING require
low level hooks and involves more overhead. But we already
have a generic context tracking subsystem that is required
for RCU needs by archs which plan to shut down the tick
outside idle.

This patch implements a generic virtual based cputime
accounting that relies on these generic kernel/user hooks.

There are some upsides of doing this:

- This requires no arch code to implement CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING
if context tracking is already built (already necessary for RCU in full
tickless mode).

- We can rely on the generic context tracking subsystem to dynamically
(de)activate the hooks, so that we can switch anytime between virtual
and tick based accounting. This way we don't have the overhead
of the virtual accounting when the tick is running periodically.

And one downside:

- There is probably more overhead than a native virtual based cputime
accounting. But this relies on hooks that are already set anyway.

block elevator.  During boot, it's called right after initramfs or
initrd is made available and right before control is passed to
userland.  This ensures that as long as the modules are available in
the usual places in initramfs, initrd or the root filesystem, the
default modules are loaded as soon as possible.

This will replace the on-demand elevator module loading from elevator
init path.

In commit 281dc5c5ec ("Give up on pushing CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE") we

suggested 'y'. Fix the help text too, for all the same reasons.

Sadly, -Os keeps on generating some very suboptimal code for certain
cases, to the point where any I$ miss upside is swamped by the downside.
The main ones are:

 - using "rep movsb" for memcpy, even on CPU's where that is
   horrendously bad for performance.

 - not honoring branch prediction information, so any I$ footprint you
   win from smaller code, you lose from less code density in the I$.

 - using divide instructions when that is very expensive.

remove it from being listed, and default it to on. Once it has been

For items that really are experimental, maintainers should use "default
n", optionally include "(EXPERIMENTAL)" in the title, and add language to
the help text indicating why the item should be considered experimental.

For items that are dangerously experimental, the maintainer is encouraged
to follow the above title recommendation, add stronger language to the
help text, and optionally use (depending on the extent of the danger,
from least to most dangerous): printk(), add_taint(TAINT_WARN),
add_taint(TAINT_CRAP), WARN_ON(1), and CONFIG_BROKEN.

b6fca72536 sysctl: Enable IA64 "ignore-unaligned-usertrap" to be used cross-arch
IA64 defines /proc/sys/kernel/ignore-unaligned-usertrap to control
verbose warnings on unaligned access emulation.

Although the exact mechanics of what to do with sysctl (ignore/shout)
are arch specific, this change enables the sysctl to be usable cross-arch.

f80b0c904d Ensure that kernel_init_freeable() is not inlined into non __init code
Commit d6b2123802 "make sure that we always have a return path from
kernel_execve()" reshuffled kernel_init()/init_post() to ensure that
kernel_execve() has a caller to return to.

It removed __init annotation for kernel_init() and introduced/calls a
new routine kernel_init_freeable(). Latter however is inlined by any
reasonable compiler (ARC gcc 4.4 in this case), causing slight code
bloat.

This patch forces kernel_init_freeable() as noinline reducing the .text

d7f25f8a2f memcg: infrastructure to match an allocation to the right cache
The page allocator is able to bind a page to a memcg when it is
allocated.  But for the caches, we'd like to have as many objects as
possible in a page belonging to the same cache.

This is done in this patch by calling memcg_kmem_get_cache in the
beginning of every allocation function.  This function is patched out by
static branches when kernel memory controller is not being used.

It assumes that the task allocating, which determines the memcg in the
page allocator, belongs to the same cgroup throughout the whole process.
Misaccounting can happen if the task calls memcg_kmem_get_cache() while
belonging to a cgroup, and later on changes.  This is considered
acceptable, and should only happen upon task migration.

Before the cache is created by the memcg core, there is also a possible
imbalance: the task belongs to a memcg, but the cache being allocated from
is the global cache, since the child cache is not yet guaranteed to be
ready.  This case is also fine, since in this case the GFP_KMEMCG will not
be passed and the page allocator will not attempt any cgroup accounting.

510fc4e11b memcg: kmem accounting basic infrastructure
Add the basic infrastructure for the accounting of kernel memory.  To
control that, the following files are created:

 * memory.kmem.usage_in_bytes
 * memory.kmem.limit_in_bytes
 * memory.kmem.failcnt
 * memory.kmem.max_usage_in_bytes

They have the same meaning of their user memory counterparts.  They
reflect the state of the "kmem" res_counter.

Per cgroup kmem memory accounting is not enabled until a limit is set for
the group.  Once the limit is set the accounting cannot be disabled for
that group.  This means that after the patch is applied, no behavioral
changes exists for whoever is still using memcg to control their memory
usage, until memory.kmem.limit_in_bytes is set for the first time.

We always account to both user and kernel resource_counters.  This
effectively means that an independent kernel limit is in place when the
limit is set to a lower value than the user memory.  A equal or higher
value means that the user limit will always hit first, meaning that kmem
is effectively unlimited.

People who want to track kernel memory but not limit it, can set this
limit to a very high number (like RESOURCE_MAX - 1page - that no one will
ever hit, or equal to the user memory)

Pull user namespace changes from Eric Biederman:
 "While small this set of changes is very significant with respect to
  containers in general and user namespaces in particular.  The user
  space interface is now complete.

  This set of changes adds support for unprivileged users to create user
  namespaces and as a user namespace root to create other namespaces.
  The tyranny of supporting suid root preventing unprivileged users from
  using cool new kernel features is broken.

  This set of changes completes the work on setns, adding support for
  the pid, user, mount namespaces.

  This set of changes includes a bunch of basic pid namespace
  cleanups/simplifications.  Of particular significance is the rework of
  the pid namespace cleanup so it no longer requires sending out
  tendrils into all kinds of unexpected cleanup paths for operation.  At
  least one case of broken error handling is fixed by this cleanup.

  The files under /proc/<pid>/ns/ have been converted from regular files
  to magic symlinks which prevents incorrect caching by the VFS,
  ensuring the files always refer to the namespace the process is
  currently using and ensuring that the ptrace_mayaccess permission
  checks are always applied.

  The files under /proc/<pid>/ns/ have been given stable inode numbers
  so it is now possible to see if different processes share the same
  namespaces.

  Through the David Miller's net tree are changes to relax many of the
  permission checks in the networking stack to allowing the user
  namespace root to usefully use the networking stack.  Similar changes
  for the mount namespace and the pid namespace are coming through my
  tree.

  Two small changes to add user namespace support were commited here adn
  in David Miller's -net tree so that I could complete the work on the
  /proc/<pid>/ns/ files in this tree.

  Work remains to make it safe to build user namespaces and 9p, afs,
  ceph, cifs, coda, gfs2, ncpfs, nfs, nfsd, ocfs2, and xfs so the
  Kconfig guard remains in place preventing that user namespaces from
  being built when any of those filesystems are enabled.

  Future design work remains to allow root users outside of the initial
  user namespace to mount more than just /proc and /sys."

Merge tag 'balancenuma-v11' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mel/linux-balancenuma

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."

Implement pte_numa and pmd_numa.

We must atomically set the numa bit and clear the present bit to
define a pte_numa or pmd_numa.

Once a pte or pmd has been set as pte_numa or pmd_numa, the next time
a thread touches a virtual address in the corresponding virtual range,
a NUMA hinting page fault will trigger. The NUMA hinting page fault
will clear the NUMA bit and set the present bit again to resolve the
page fault.

The expectation is that a NUMA hinting page fault is used as part
of a placement policy that decides if a page should remain on the
current node or migrated to a different node.
