Pull x86 protection key support from Ingo Molnar:
"This tree adds support for a new memory protection hardware feature
that is available in upcoming Intel CPUs: 'protection keys' (pkeys).
There's a background article at LWN.net:
https://lwn.net/Articles/643797/
The gist is that protection keys allow the encoding of
user-controllable permission masks in the pte. So instead of having a
fixed protection mask in the pte (which needs a system call to change
and works on a per page basis), the user can map a (handful of)
protection mask variants and can change the masks runtime relatively
cheaply, without having to change every single page in the affected
virtual memory range.
This allows the dynamic switching of the protection bits of large
amounts of virtual memory, via user-space instructions. It also
allows more precise control of MMU permission bits: for example the
executable bit is separate from the read bit (see more about that
below).
This tree adds the MM infrastructure and low level x86 glue needed for
that, plus it adds a high level API to make use of protection keys -
if a user-space application calls:
mmap(..., PROT_EXEC);
or
mprotect(ptr, sz, PROT_EXEC);
(note PROT_EXEC-only, without PROT_READ/WRITE), the kernel will notice
this special case, and will set a special protection key on this
memory range. It also sets the appropriate bits in the Protection
Keys User Rights (PKRU) register so that the memory becomes unreadable
and unwritable.
So using protection keys the kernel is able to implement 'true'
PROT_EXEC on x86 CPUs: without protection keys PROT_EXEC implies
PROT_READ as well. Unreadable executable mappings have security
advantages: they cannot be read via information leaks to figure out
ASLR details, nor can they be scanned for ROP gadgets - and they
cannot be used by exploits for data purposes either.
We know about no user-space code that relies on pure PROT_EXEC
mappings today, but binary loaders could start making use of this new
feature to map binaries and libraries in a more secure fashion.
There is other pending pkeys work that offers more high level system
call APIs to manage protection keys - but those are not part of this
pull request.
Right now there's a Kconfig that controls this feature
(CONFIG_X86_INTEL_MEMORY_PROTECTION_KEYS) that is default enabled
(like most x86 CPU feature enablement code that has no runtime
overhead), but it's not user-configurable at the moment. If there's
any serious problem with this then we can make it configurable and/or
flip the default"

Pull cgroup updates from Tejun Heo:
"cgroup changes for v4.6-rc1. No userland visible behavior changes in
this pull request. I'll send out a separate pull request for the
addition of cgroup namespace support.
- The biggest change is the revamping of cgroup core task migration
and controller handling logic. There are quite a few places where
controllers and tasks are manipulated. Previously, many of those
places implemented custom operations for each specific use case
assuming specific starting conditions. While this worked, it makes
the code fragile and difficult to follow.
The bulk of this pull request restructures these operations so that
most related operations are performed through common helpers which
implement recursive (subtrees are always processed consistently)
and idempotent (they make cgroup hierarchy converge to the target
state rather than performing operations assuming specific starting
conditions). This makes the code a lot easier to understand,
verify and extend.
- Implicit controller support is added. This is primarily for using
perf_event on the v2 hierarchy so that perf can match cgroup v2
path without requiring the user to do anything special. The kernel
portion of perf_event changes is acked but userland changes are
still pending review.
- cgroup_no_v1= boot parameter added to ease testing cgroup v2 in
certain environments.
- There is a regression introduced during v4.4 devel cycle where
attempts to migrate zombie tasks can mess up internal object
management. This was fixed earlier this week and included in this
pull request w/ stable cc'd.
- Misc non-critical fixes and improvements"

Pull power management and ACPI updates from Rafael Wysocki:
"This time the majority of changes go into cpufreq and they are
significant.
First off, the way CPU frequency updates are triggered is different
now. Instead of having to set up and manage a deferrable timer for
each CPU in the system to evaluate and possibly change its frequency
periodically, cpufreq governors set up callbacks to be invoked by the
scheduler on a regular basis (basically on utilization updates). The
"old" governors, "ondemand" and "conservative", still do all of their
work in process context (although that is triggered by the scheduler
now), but intel_pstate does it all in the callback invoked by the
scheduler with no need for any additional asynchronous processing.
Of course, this eliminates the overhead related to the management of
all those timers, but also it allows the cpufreq governor code to be
simplified quite a bit. On top of that, the common code and data
structures used by the "ondemand" and "conservative" governors are
cleaned up and made more straightforward and some long-standing and
quite annoying problems are addressed. In particular, the handling of
governor sysfs attributes is modified and the related locking becomes
more fine grained which allows some concurrency problems to be avoided
(particularly deadlocks with the core cpufreq code).
In principle, the new mechanism for triggering frequency updates
allows utilization information to be passed from the scheduler to
cpufreq. Although the current code doesn't make use of it, in the
works is a new cpufreq governor that will make decisions based on the
scheduler's utilization data. That should allow the scheduler and
cpufreq to work more closely together in the long run.
In addition to the core and governor changes, cpufreq drivers are
updated too. Fixes and optimizations go into intel_pstate, the
cpufreq-dt driver is updated on top of some modification in the
Operating Performance Points (OPP) framework and there are fixes and
other updates in the powernv cpufreq driver.
Apart from the cpufreq updates there is some new ACPICA material,
including a fix for a problem introduced by previous ACPICA updates,
and some less significant changes in the ACPI code, like CPPC code
optimizations, ACPI processor driver cleanups and support for loading
ACPI tables from initrd.
Also updated are the generic power domains framework, the Intel RAPL
power capping driver and the turbostat utility and we have a bunch of
traditional assorted fixes and cleanups.
Specifics:
- Redesign of cpufreq governors and the intel_pstate driver to make
them use callbacks invoked by the scheduler to trigger CPU
frequency evaluation instead of using per-CPU deferrable timers for
that purpose (Rafael Wysocki).
- Reorganization and cleanup of cpufreq governor code to make it more

Wysocki, Viresh Kumar).
- Cleanup and improvements of locking in the cpufreq core (Viresh

Page poisoning is currently set up as a feature if architectures don't
have architecture debug page_alloc to allow unmapping of pages. It has
uses apart from that though. Clearing of the pages on free provides an
increase in security as it helps to limit the risk of information leaks.
Allow page poisoning to be enabled as a separate option independent of
kernel_map pages since the two features do separate work. Because of
how hiberanation is implemented, the checks on alloc cannot occur if
hibernation is enabled. The runtime alloc checks can also be enabled
with an option when !HIBERNATION.

The uart driver implements the uart core operations. It also support the

Known Issue:
The uart driver currently doesn't support clock programming, which means
the baud-rate stays with the default value configured by the bootloader

Most newer Rockchip SoCs provide the possibility to use a usb-phy
as passthrough for the debug uart (uart2), making it possible to
for example get console output without needing to open the device.
This patch adds an early_initcall to enable this functionality
conditionally via the commandline and also disables the corresponding
usb controller in the devicetree.
Currently only data for the rk3288 is provided, but at least the
rk3188 and arm64 rk3368 also provide this functionality and will be
enabled later.
On a spliced usb cable the signals are tx on white wire(D+) and
rx on green wire(D-).
The one caveat is that currently the reconfiguration of the phy
happens as early_initcall, as the code depends on the unflattened
devicetree being available. Everything is fine if only a regular
console is active as the console-replay will happen after the
reconfiguation. But with earlycon active output up to smp-init
currently will get lost.
The phy is an optional property for the connected dwc2 controller,
so we still provide the phy device but fail all phy-ops with -EBUSY
to make sure the dwc2 does not try to transmit anything on the
repurposed phy.

It may be useful to debug writes to the readonly sections of memory,
so provide a cmdline "rodata=off" to allow for this. This can be
expanded in the future to support "log" and "write" modes, but that
will need to be architecture-specific.
This also makes KDB software breakpoints more usable, as read-only
mappings can now be disabled on any kernel.

This sets the bit in 'cr4' to actually enable the protection
keys feature. We also include a boot-time disable for the
feature "nopku".
Seting X86_CR4_PKE will cause the X86_FEATURE_OSPKE cpuid
bit to appear set. At this point in boot, identify_cpu()
has already run the actual CPUID instructions and populated
the "cpu features" structures. We need to go back and
re-run identify_cpu() to make sure it gets updated values.
We *could* simply re-populate the 11th word of the cpuid
data, but this is probably quick enough.
Also note that with the cpu_has() check and X86_FEATURE_PKU
present in disabled-features.h, we do not need an #ifdef
for setup_pku().

Workqueue used to guarantee local execution for work items queued
without explicit target CPU. The guarantee is gone now which can
break some usages in subtle ways. To flush out those cases, this
patch implements a debug feature which forces round-robin CPU
selection for all such work items.
The debug feature defaults to off and can be enabled with a kernel

schedstats is very useful during debugging and performance tuning but it
incurs overhead to calculate the stats. As such, even though it can be
disabled at build time, it is often enabled as the information is useful.
This patch adds a kernel command-line and sysctl tunable to enable or
disable schedstats on demand (when it's built in). It is disabled
by default as someone who knows they need it can also learn to enable
it when necessary.
The benefits are dependent on how scheduler-intensive the workload is.
If it is then the patch reduces the number of cycles spent calculating
the stats with a small benefit from reducing the cache footprint of the
scheduler.
These measurements were taken from a 48-core 2-socket
machine with Xeon(R) E5-2670 v3 cpus although they were also tested on a
single socket machine 8-core machine with Intel i7-3770 processors.

not a surprise that the result will depend on the CPU used.

Small improvement and similar gains were seen on the UMA machine.
The gain is small but it stands to reason that doing less work in the
scheduler is a good thing. The downside is that the lack of schedstats and
tracepoints may be surprising to experts doing performance analysis until
they find the existence of the schedstats= parameter or schedstats sysctl.
It will be automatically activated for latencytop and sleep profiling to
alleviate the problem. For tracepoints, there is a simple warning as it's
not safe to activate schedstats in the context when it's known the tracepoint
may be wanted but is unavailable.

If we isolate CPUs, then we don't want random device interrupts on them. Even
w/o the user space irq balancer enabled we can end up with irqs on non boot
cpus and chasing newly requested interrupts is a tedious task.
Allow to restrict the default irq affinity mask.

This patch provides a way of working around a slight regression
introduced by commit 8463833590 ("mm: rework virtual memory
accounting").
Before that commit RLIMIT_DATA have control only over size of the brk
region. But that change have caused problems with all existing versions
of valgrind, because it set RLIMIT_DATA to zero.
This patch fixes rlimit check (limit actually in bytes, not pages) and
by default turns it into warning which prints at first VmData misuse:
"mmap: top (795): VmData 516096 exceed data ulimit 512000. Will be forbidden soon."
Behavior is controlled by boot param ignore_rlimit_data=y/n and by sysfs
/sys/module/kernel/parameters/ignore_rlimit_data. For now it set to "y".

Move them to a separate header and have the following
dependency:

This makes it easier to use the header in asm code and not
include the whole cpufeature.h and add guards for asm.

Pull MIPS updates from Ralf Baechle:
"This is the main pull request for MIPS for 4.5 plus some 4.4 fixes.
The executive summary:
- ATH79 platform improvments, use DT bindings for the ATH79 USB PHY.
- Avoid useless rebuilds for zboot.
- jz4780: Add NEMC, BCH and NAND device tree nodes
- Initial support for the MicroChip's DT platform. As all the device
drivers are missing this is still of limited use.
- Some Loongson3 cleanups.
- The unavoidable whitespace polishing.
- Reduce clock skew when synchronizing the CPU cycle counters on CPU
startup.
- Add MIPS R6 fixes.
- Lots of cleanups across arch/mips as fallout from KVM.
- Lots of minor fixes and changes for IEEE 754-2008 support to the
FPU emulator / fp-assist software.
- Minor Ralink, BCM47xx and bcm963xx platform support improvments.

Kmem accounting might incur overhead that some users can't put up with.
Besides, the implementation is still considered unstable. So let's
provide a way to disable it for those users who aren't happy with it.
To disable kmem accounting for cgroup2, pass cgroup.memory=nokmem at
boot time.

Add an `ieee754=' kernel parameter to control IEEE Std 754 conformance
mode.
Use separate flags copied from the respective CPU feature flags, and
adjusted according to the conformance mode selected, to make binaries
requesting individual NaN encoding modes accepted or rejected as needed.
Update the initial setting for FCSR and, in the full FPU emulation mode,
its read-only mask accordingly. Accept the mode selection requested for
legacy processors as well.
As with the EF_MIPS_NAN2008 ELF file header flag adjust both ABS2008 and
NAN2008 bits at the same time, to match the choice made for hardware
currently implemented.

Socket memory can be a significant share of overall memory consumed by
common workloads. In order to provide reasonable resource isolation in
the unified hierarchy, this type of memory needs to be included in the
tracking/accounting of a cgroup under active memory resource control.
Overhead is only incurred when a non-root control group is created AND
the memory controller is instructed to track and account the memory
footprint of that group. cgroup.memory=nosocket can be specified on the
boot commandline to override any runtime configuration and forcibly
exclude socket memory from active memory resource control.

People complained that setting the PCI config space access mechanism
through "pci=conf1" or "pci=conf2" on the command line is not really
documented. Yeah, can you blame them? Look at what we have now.
So try to improve the situation a bit by explaining what those "conf1"
and "conf2" things actually mean.

"Workqueue changes for v4.5. One cleanup patch and three to improve
the debuggability.
Workqueue now has a stall detector which dumps workqueue state if any
worker pool hasn't made forward progress over a certain amount of time
(30s by default) and also triggers a warning if a workqueue which can
be used in memory reclaim path tries to wait on something which can't
be.
These should make workqueue hangs a lot easier to debug."

Instead of defining a new field in the uart_amba_port structure, use the
existing iotype field of the uart_port structure, which is intended for
this purpose. If we need to use 32-bit register access, we set iotype
to UPIO_MEM32, otherwise we set it to UPIO_MEM.
For early console, specify the "mmio32" option on the kernel command-line.
Example:
earlycon=pl011,mmio32,0x3ced1000

The brd driver has never supported the ramdisk_blocksize kernel
parameter that was in the rd driver it replaced, so remove
mention of this parameter from comments and Documentation.
Commit 9db5579be4 ("rewrite rd") replaced rd with brd, keeping
a brd_blocksize variable in struct brd_device but never using it.
Commit a2cba2913c ("brd: get rid of unused members from struct
brd_device") removed the unused variable.
Commit f5abc8e758 ("Documentation/blockdev/ramdisk.txt: updates")
removed mentions of ramdisk_blocksize from that file.

This patch introduces a command line parameter apic_extnmi:
apic_extnmi=( bsp|all|none )
The default value is "bsp" and this is the current behavior: only the
Boot-Strapping Processor receives an external NMI.
"all" allows external NMIs to be broadcast to all CPUs. This would
raise the success rate of panic on NMI when BSP hangs in NMI context
or the external NMI is swallowed by other NMI handlers on the BSP.
If you specify "none", no CPUs receive external NMIs. This is useful for
the dump capture kernel so that it cannot be shot down by accidentally
pressing the external NMI button (on platforms which have it) while
saving a crash dump.

Currently, 8-bit (MMIO) and 32-bit (MMIO32) register interfaces are
supported for the 8250 console, but the 16-bit (MMIO16) is not.
The 8250 UART device on my board is connected to a 16-bit bus and
my main motivation is to use earlycon with it.

Workqueue stalls can happen from a variety of usage bugs such as
missing WQ_MEM_RECLAIM flag or concurrency managed work item
indefinitely staying RUNNING. These stalls can be extremely difficult
to hunt down because the usual warning mechanisms can't detect
workqueue stalls and the internal state is pretty opaque.
To alleviate the situation, this patch implements workqueue lockup
detector. It periodically monitors all worker_pools periodically and,
if any pool failed to make forward progress longer than the threshold
duration, triggers warning and dumps workqueue state as follows.
BUG: workqueue lockup - pool cpus=0 node=0 flags=0x0 nice=0 stuck for 31s!

...
The detection mechanism is controller through kernel parameter
workqueue.watchdog_thresh and can be updated at runtime through the
sysfs module parameter file.

The rcu_expedited, rcu_normal, and rcu_normal_after_boot kernel boot
parameters are pointless in the case of TINY_RCU because in that case
synchronous grace periods, both expedited and normal, are no-ops.
However, these three symbols contribute several hundred bytes of bloat.
This commit therefore uses CPP directives to avoid compiling this code
in TINY_RCU kernels.

Expedited grace periods can speed up boot, but are undesirable in
aggressive real-time systems. This commit therefore introduces a
kernel parameter rcupdate.rcu_normal_after_boot that disables
expedited grace periods just before init is spawned.
