Lu Baolu 1b5aeebf3a x86/earlyprintk: Add support for earlyprintk via USB3 debug port
Add support for earlyprintk by writing debug messages to the
USB3 debug port. Users can use this type of early printk by
specifying the kernel parameter of "earlyprintk=xdbc". This
gives users a chance of providing debugging output.

The hardware for USB3 debug port requires DMA memory blocks.
This requires to delay setting up debugging hardware and
registering boot console until the memblocks are filled.

Linus Torvalds c1aa905a30 Power management updates for v4.11-rc2
- Three fixes for intel_pstate problems related to the passive
    mode (in which it acts as a regular cpufreq scaling driver), two
    for the handling of global P-state limits and one for the handling
    of the cpu_frequency tracepoint in that mode (Rafael Wysocki).
 
  - Three fixes for the handling of P-state limits in intel_pstate in
    the active mode (Rafael Wysocki).
 
  - Introduction of a new cpufreq.off=1 kernel command line argument
    that will disable cpufreq entirely if passed to the kernel and
    is simply hooked up to the existing code used by Xen (Len Brown).
 
  - Fix for the schedutil cpufreq governor to prevent it from using
    stale raw frequency values in configurations with mutiple CPUs
    sharing one policy object and a cleanup for it reducing its
    overhead slightly (Viresh Kumar).

Linus Torvalds f26db9649a There was some breakage with the changes for jump labels in the 4.11 merge
window. Namely powerpc broke as jump labels uses the two LSB bits as flags
 in initialization. A check was added to make sure that all jump label
 entries were 4 bytes aligned, but powerpc didn't work that way for modules.
 Adding an alignment in the module linker script appeared to be the best
 solution.
 
 Jump labels also added an anonymous union to access those LSB bits as a
 normal long. But because this structure had static initialization, it broke
 older compilers that could not statically initialize anonymous unions
 without brackets.
 
 The command line parameter for setting function graph filter broke the
 "EMPTY_HASH" descriptor by modifying it instead of creating a new hash to
 hold the entries.
 
 The command line parameter ftrace_graph_max_depth was added to allow its
 setting at boot time. It uses existing code and only the command line hook
 was added. This is not really a fix, but as it uses existing code without
 affecting anything else, I added it to this release. It was ready before the
 merge window closed, but I wanted to let it sit in linux-next for a couple
 of days first.

Tobias Jakobi 933bfe4d27 HID: usbhid: extend polling interval configuration to joysticks
For mouse devices we can currently change the polling interval
via usbhid.mousepoll. Implement the same thing for joysticks, so
users can reduce input latency this way.

This has been tested with a Logitech RumblePad 2 with jspoll=2,
resulting in a polling rate of 500Hz (verified with evhz).

Len Brown d82f269255 cpufreq: Add the "cpufreq.off=1" cmdline option
Add the "cpufreq.off=1" cmdline option.

At boot-time, this allows a user to request CONFIG_CPU_FREQ=n
behavior from a kernel built with CONFIG_CPU_FREQ=y.

This is analogous to the existing "cpuidle.off=1" option
and CONFIG_CPU_IDLE=y

This capability is valuable when we need to debug end-user
issues in the BIOS or in Linux.  It is also convenient
for enabling comparisons, which may otherwise require a new kernel,
or help from BIOS SETUP, which may be buggy or unavailable.

Todd Brandt 65a50c6562 ftrace/graph: Add ftrace_graph_max_depth kernel parameter
Early trace callgraphs can be extremely large on systems with
several seconds of boot time. The max_depth parameter limits how
deep the graph trace goes and reduces the output size. This
parameter is the same as the max_graph_depth file in tracefs.

Tejun Heo 1663f26df3 slub: make sysfs directories for memcg sub-caches optional
SLUB creates a per-cache directory under /sys/kernel/slab which hosts a
bunch of debug files.  Usually, there aren't that many caches on a
system and this doesn't really matter; however, if memcg is in use, each
cache can have per-cgroup sub-caches.  SLUB creates the same directories
for these sub-caches under /sys/kernel/slab/$CACHE/cgroup.

Unfortunately, because there can be a lot of cgroups, active or
draining, the product of the numbers of caches, cgroups and files in
each directory can reach a very high number - hundreds of thousands is
commonplace.  Millions and beyond aren't difficult to reach either.

What's under /sys/kernel/slab is primarily for debugging and the
information and control on the a root cache already cover its
sub-caches.  While having a separate directory for each sub-cache can be
helpful for development, it doesn't make much sense to pay this amount
of overhead by default.

This patch introduces a boot parameter slub_memcg_sysfs which determines
whether to create sysfs directories for per-memcg sub-caches.  It also
adds CONFIG_SLUB_MEMCG_SYSFS_ON which determines the boot parameter's
default value and defaults to 0.

Linus Torvalds 37c85961c3 TTY/Serial driver patches for 4.11-rc1
Here is the big tty/serial driver patchset for 4.11-rc1.
 
 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
 issues.

Thomas Gleixner 47512cfd0d x86/platform/goldfish: Prevent unconditional loading
The goldfish platform code registers the platform device unconditionally
which causes havoc in several ways if the goldfish_pdev_bus driver is
enabled:

 - Access to the hardcoded physical memory region, which is either not
   available or contains stuff which is completely unrelated.

 - Prevents that the interrupt of the serial port can be requested

 - In case of a spurious interrupt it goes into a infinite loop in the
   interrupt handler of the pdev_bus driver (which needs to be fixed
   seperately).

Add a 'goldfish' command line option to make the registration opt-in when
the platform is compiled in.

I'm seriously grumpy about this engineering trainwreck, which has seven
SOBs from Intel developers for 50 lines of code. And none of them figured
out that this is broken. Impressive fail!

Ding Tianhong 5444ea6a7f clocksource/drivers/arm_arch_timer: Remove fsl-a008585 parameter
Having a command line option to flip the errata handling for a
particular erratum is a little bit unusual, and it's vastly superior to
pass this in the DT. By common consensus, it's best to kill off the
command line parameter.

Grzegorz Andrejczuk e16fd002af x86/cpufeature: Enable RING3MWAIT for Knights Landing
Enable ring 3 MONITOR/MWAIT for Intel Xeon Phi x200 codenamed Knights
Landing.

Presence of this feature cannot be detected automatically (by reading any
other MSR) therefore it is required to explicitly check for the family and
model of the CPU before attempting to enable it.

Heiko Carstens 89175cf766 s390: provide sclp based boot console
Use the early sclp code to provide a boot console. This boot console
is available if the kernel parameter "earlyprintk" has been specified,
just like it works for other architectures that also provide an early
boot console.

This makes debugging of early problems much easier, since now we
finally have working console output even before memory detection is
running.

The boot console will be automatically disabled as soon as another
console will be registered.

Martin Blumenstingl ec84aa0a92 tty: serial: lantiq: implement earlycon support
This allows enabling earlycon for devices with a Lantiq serial console
by splitting lqasc_serial_port_write() from lqasc_console_write() and
re-using the new function for earlycon's write callback.

The kernel-parameter name matches the driver name ("lantiq"), similar
to how other drivers implement this.

Linus Torvalds 2fd8774c79 Merge branch 'stable/for-linus-4.10' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/konrad/swiotlb
Pull swiotlb fixes from Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk:
 "This has one fix to make i915 work when using Xen SWIOTLB, and a
  feature from Geert to aid in debugging of devices that can't do DMA
  outside the 32-bit address space.

  The feature from Geert is on top of v4.10 merge window commit
  (specifically you pulling my previous branch), as his changes were
  dependent on the Documentation/ movement patches.

  I figured it would just easier than me trying than to cherry-pick the
  Documentation patches to satisfy git.

  The patches have been soaking since 12/20, albeit I updated the last
  patch due to linux-next catching an compiler error and adding an
  Tested-and-Reported-by tag"

Lv Zheng 9c4aa1eecb ACPI / sysfs: Provide quirk mechanism to prevent GPE flooding
Sometimes, the users may require a quirk to be provided from ACPI subsystem
core to prevent a GPE from flooding.
Normally, if a GPE cannot be dispatched, ACPICA core automatically prevents
the GPE from firing. But there are cases the GPE is dispatched by _Lxx/_Exx
provided via AML table, and OSPM is lacking of the knowledge to get
_Lxx/_Exx correctly executed to handle the GPE, thus the GPE flooding may
still occur.

The existing quirk mechanism can be enabled/disabled using the following
commands to prevent such kind of GPE flooding during runtime:
 # echo mask > /sys/firmware/acpi/interrupts/gpe00
 # echo unmask > /sys/firmware/acpi/interrupts/gpe00
To avoid GPE flooding during boot, we need a boot stage mechanism.

This patch provides such a boot stage quirk mechanism to stop this kind of
GPE flooding. This patch doesn't fix any feature gap but since the new
feature gaps could be found in the future endlessly, and can disappear if
the feature gaps are filled, providing a boot parameter rather than a DMI
table should suffice.

Mimi Zohar d68a6fe9fc ima: define a canonical binary_runtime_measurements list format
The IMA binary_runtime_measurements list is currently in platform native
format.

To allow restoring a measurement list carried across kexec with a
different endianness than the targeted kernel, this patch defines
little-endian as the canonical format.  For big endian systems wanting
to save/restore the measurement list from a system with a different
endianness, a new boot command line parameter named "ima_canonical_fmt"
is defined.

Considerations: use of the "ima_canonical_fmt" boot command line option
will break existing userspace applications on big endian systems
expecting the binary_runtime_measurements list to be in platform native
format.

Geert Uytterhoeven fff5d99225 swiotlb: Add swiotlb=noforce debug option
On architectures like arm64, swiotlb is tied intimately to the core
architecture DMA support. In addition, ZONE_DMA cannot be disabled.

To aid debugging and catch devices not supporting DMA to memory outside
the 32-bit address space, add a kernel command line option
"swiotlb=noforce", which disables the use of bounce buffers.
If specified, trying to map memory that cannot be used with DMA will
fail, and a rate-limited warning will be printed.

Note that io_tlb_nslabs is set to 1, which is the minimal supported
value.
