Today there are platforms with many CPUs (up to 4K). Trying to boot only
part of the CPUs may result in too long string.
For example lets take NPS platform that is part of arch/arc. This
platform have SMP system with 256 cores each with 16 HW threads (SMT
machine) where HW thread appears as CPU to the kernel. In this example
there is total of 4K CPUs. When one tries to boot only part of the HW
threads from each core the string representing the map may be long... For
example if for sake of performance we decided to boot only first half of
HW threads of each core the map will look like:
0-7,16-23,32-39,...,4080-4087
This patch introduce new syntax to accommodate with such use case. I
added an optional postfix to a range of CPUs which will choose according
to given modulo the desired range of reminders i.e.:
<cpus range>:sed_size/group_size
For example, above map can be described in new syntax like this:
0-4095:8/16
Note that this patch is backward compatible with current syntax.

The strncpy_from_user() accessor is effectively a copy_from_user()
specialised to copy strings, terminating early at a NUL byte if possible.
In other respects it is identical, and can be used to copy an arbitrarily
large buffer from userspace into the kernel. Conceptually, it exposes a
similar attack surface.
As with copy_from_user(), we check the destination range when the kernel
is built with KASAN, but unlike copy_from_user() we do not check the
destination buffer when using HARDENED_USERCOPY. As strncpy_from_user()
calls get_user() in a loop, we must call check_object_size() explicitly.
This patch adds this instrumentation to strncpy_from_user(), per the same
rationale as with the regular copy_from_user(). In the absence of
hardened usercopy this will have no impact as the instrumentation expands
to an empty static inline function.

There are four cases I can see where we could end up with a NULL 'slot' in
radix_tree_next_slot(). This unit test exercises all four of them, making
sure that if in the future we have an unsafe path through
radix_tree_next_slot(), we'll catch it.
Here are details on the four cases:
1) radix_tree_iter_retry() via a non-tagged iteration like
radix_tree_for_each_slot(). In this case we currently aren't seeing a bug
because radix_tree_iter_retry() sets
iter->next_index = iter->index;
which means that in in the else case in radix_tree_next_slot(), 'count' is
zero, so we skip over the while() loop and effectively just return NULL
without ever dereferencing 'slot'.
2) radix_tree_iter_retry() via tagged iteration like
radix_tree_for_each_tagged(). This case was giving us NULL pointer
dereferences in testing, and was fixed with this commit:
commit 3cb9185c67 ("radix-tree: fix radix_tree_iter_retry() for tagged
iterators.")
This fix doesn't explicitly check for 'slot' being NULL, though, it works
around the NULL pointer dereference by instead zeroing iter->tags in
radix_tree_iter_retry(), which makes us bail out of the if() case in
radix_tree_next_slot() before we dereference 'slot'.
3) radix_tree_iter_next() via via a non-tagged iteration like
radix_tree_for_each_slot(). This currently happens in shmem_tag_pins()
and shmem_partial_swap_usage().
As with non-tagged iteration, 'count' in the else case of
radix_tree_next_slot() is zero, so we skip over the while() loop and
effectively just return NULL without ever dereferencing 'slot'.
4) radix_tree_iter_next() via tagged iteration like
radix_tree_for_each_tagged(). This happens in shmem_wait_for_pins().
radix_tree_iter_next() zeros out iter->tags, so we end up exiting
radix_tree_next_slot() here:
if (flags & RADIX_TREE_ITER_TAGGED) {
void *canon = slot;
iter->tags >>= 1;
if (unlikely(!iter->tags))
return NULL;

There are four cases I can see where we could end up with a NULL 'slot' in
radix_tree_next_slot(). Yet radix_tree_next_slot() never actually checks
whether 'slot' is NULL. It just happens that for the cases where 'slot'
is NULL, some other combination of factors prevents us from dereferencing
it.
It would be very easy for someone to unwittingly change one of these
factors without realizing that we are implicitly depending on it to save
us from a NULL pointer dereference.
Add a comment documenting the things that allow 'slot' to be safely passed
as NULL to radix_tree_next_slot().

The select(2) syscall performs a kmalloc(size, GFP_KERNEL) where size grows
with the number of fds passed. We had a customer report page allocation
failures of order-4 for this allocation. This is a costly order, so it might
easily fail, as the VM expects such allocation to have a lower-order fallback.
Such trivial fallback is vmalloc(), as the memory doesn't have to be physically
contiguous and the allocation is temporary for the duration of the syscall
only. There were some concerns, whether this would have negative impact on the
system by exposing vmalloc() to userspace. Although an excessive use of vmalloc
can cause some system wide performance issues - TLB flushes etc. - a large
order allocation is not for free either and an excessive reclaim/compaction can
have a similar effect. Also note that the size is effectively limited by
RLIMIT_NOFILE which defaults to 1024 on the systems I checked. That means the
bitmaps will fit well within single page and thus the vmalloc() fallback could
be only excercised for processes where root allows a higher limit.
Note that the poll(2) syscall seems to use a linked list of order-0 pages, so
it doesn't need this kind of fallback.

After much discussion, it seems that the fallocate feature flag
FALLOC_FL_ZERO_RANGE maps nicely to SCSI WRITE SAME; and the feature
FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE maps nicely to the devices that have been whitelisted
for zeroing SCSI UNMAP. Punch still requires that FALLOC_FL_KEEP_SIZE is
set. A length that goes past the end of the device will be clamped to the
device size if KEEP_SIZE is set; or will return -EINVAL if not. Both
start and length must be aligned to the device's logical block size.
Since the semantics of fallocate are fairly well established already, wire
up the two pieces. The other fallocate variants (collapse range, insert
range, and allocate blocks) are not supported.

construct WRITE SAME and DISCARD requests are actually aligned to the
logical block size. Failure to do this causes other errors in other parts
of the block layer or the SCSI layer because disks don't support partial
logical block writes.

Patch series "fallocate for block devices", v11.
This is a patchset to fix page cache coherency with BLKZEROOUT and
implement fallocate for block devices.
The first patch is a fix to the existing BLKZEROOUT ioctl to invalidate
the page cache if the zeroing command to the underlying device succeeds.
Without this patch we still have the pagecache coherence bug that's been
in the kernel forever.
The second patch changes the internal block device functions to reject
attempts to discard or zeroout that are not aligned to the logical block
size. Previously, we only checked that the start/len parameters were
512-byte aligned, which caused kernel BUG_ONs for unaligned IOs to 4k-LBA
devices.
The third patch creates an fallocate handler for block devices, wires up
the FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE flag to zeroing-discard, and connects
FALLOC_FL_ZERO_RANGE to write-same so that we can have a consistent
fallocate interface between files and block devices. It also allows the
combination of PUNCH_HOLE and NO_HIDE_STALE to invoke non-zeroing discard.
Test cases for the new block device fallocate are now in xfstests as
generic/349-351.
This patch (of 3):
Invalidate the page cache (as a regular O_DIRECT write would do) to avoid
returning stale cache contents at a later time.

i2c: 'i2c-bus' node support for v4.8-rc1
This includes the device tree binding and I2C core changes to support
the i2c-bus subnode that I2C masters can use to describe their slaves
in a separate namespace and therefore avoid clashing with potentially
other subnodes.
In commit 2b4e3ad8f5 ("powerpc/mm/hash64: Don't test for machine type
to detect HEA special case") we changed the logic in might_have_hea()
to check FW_FEATURE_SPLPAR rather than machine_is(pseries).
However the check was incorrectly negated, leading to crashes on
machines with HEA adapters, such as:
mm: Hashing failure ! EA=0xd000080080004040 access=0x800000000000000e current=NetworkManager

Debugging a data corruption issue with virtio-net/vhost-net led to
the observation that __copy_tofrom_user was occasionally returning
a value 16 larger than it should. Since the return value from
__copy_tofrom_user is the number of bytes not copied, this means
that __copy_tofrom_user can occasionally return a value larger
than the number of bytes it was asked to copy. In turn this can
cause higher-level copy functions such as copy_page_to_iter_iovec
to corrupt memory by copying data into the wrong memory locations.
It turns out that the failing case involves a fault on the store
at label 79, and at that point the first unmodified byte of the
destination is at R3 + 16. Consequently the exception handler
for that store needs to add 16 to R3 before using it to work out
how many bytes were not copied, but in this one case it was not
adding the offset to R3. To fix it, this moves the label 179 to
the point where we add 16 to R3. I have checked manually all the
exception handlers for the loads and stores in this code and the
rest of them are correct (it would be excellent to have an
automated test of all the exception cases).
This bug has been present since this code was initially
committed in May 2002 to Linux version 2.5.20.

DT allows holes or empty phandles for references. This is used for example
in SPI subsystem where some chip selects are native and others are regular
GPIOs. In ACPI _DSD we currently do not support this but instead the
preceding reference consumes all following integer arguments.
For example we would like to support something like the below ASL fragment
for SPI:
Package () {
"cs-gpios",
Package () {
^GPIO, 19, 0, 0, // GPIO CS0
0, // Native CS
^GPIO, 20, 0, 0, // GPIO CS1
}
}
The zero in the middle means "no entry" or NULL reference. To support this
we change acpi_data_get_property_reference() to take firmware node and
num_args as argument and rename it to __acpi_node_get_property_reference().
The function returns -ENOENT if the given index resolves to "no entry"
reference and -ENODATA when there are no more entries in the property.
We then add static inline wrapper acpi_node_get_property_reference() that
passes MAX_ACPI_REFERENCE_ARGS as num_args to support the existing
behaviour which some drivers have been relying on.

* PMEM sub-division support: Allow a single PMEM region to be divided

partitions of a /dev/pmemX block device could handle sub-allocations of
persistent memory for different use cases. With the decision to not
support DAX mappings of raw block-devices, and the genesis of
device-dax, the need for having multiple pmem-namespace per region has
grown.
* Device-DAX unified inode: In support of dynamic-resizing of a
device-dax instance the kernel arranges for all mappings of a
device-dax node to share the same inode. This allows unmap / truncate /
invalidation events to affect all instances of the device similar to the
behavior of mmap on block devices.
* Hardware error scrubbing reworks: The original address-range-scrub +
badblocks tracking solution allowed clearing entries at the individual
namespace level, but it failed to clear the internal list of media
errors maintained at the bus level. The result was that the next scrub
or namespace disable/re-enable event would restore the cleared
badblocks, but now that is fixed. The v4.8 kernel introduced an
auto-scrub-on-machine-check behavior to repopulate the badblocks list.
Now, in v4.9, the auto-scrub behavior can be disabled and simply arrange
for the error reported in the machine-check to be added to the list.
* DIMM health-event notification support: ACPI 6.1 defines a
notification event code that can be send to ACPI NVDIMM devices. A
poll(2) capable file descriptor for these events can be obtained from
the nmemX/nfit/flags sysfs-attribute of a libnvdimm memory device.
* Miscellaneous fixes: NVDIMM-N probe error, device-dax build error, and
a change to dedup the flush hint list to not flush the memory controller
more than necessary.

Commit 4fe9e1d957 ("parisc: Drop bootmem and switch to memblock")
switched to the memblock allocator, but missed to zero-initialize the
newly allocated memblocks. This lead to crashes on some machines like
the rp3410.

Merge tag 'upstream-4.9-rc1' of git://git.infradead.org/linux-ubifs
Pull UBI/UBIFS updates from Richard Weinberger:
"This pull request contains:
- Fixes for both UBI and UBIFS
- overlayfs support (O_TMPFILE, RENAME_WHITEOUT/EXCHANGE)
- Code refactoring for the upcoming MLC support"
[ Ugh, we just got rid of the "rename2()" naming for the extended rename
functionality. And this re-introduces it in ubifs with the cross-
renaming and whiteout support.
But rather than do any re-organizations in the merge itself, the
naming can be cleaned up later ]
