sys_newlstat is a system call implementation that is meant for user
space, and that copies kernel-internal data structure to the user
format, which is not needed for in-kernel users.Further, as we rearrange the system call implementation so we can extend
it with 64-bit time_t, the prototype for sys_newlstat changes.This changes the initramfs code to use vfs_lstat directly, to get it out
of the way of the time_t changes, and make it slightly more efficient in
the process. Along the same lines we also replace sys_stat and
sys_stat64 with vfs_stat.Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170314214932.4052842-1-arnd@arndb.de

Many "embedded" architectures provide CMDLINE_FORCE to allow the kernel
to override the command line provided by an inflexible bootloader.
However there is currrently no way for the kernel to override the
initramfs image provided by the bootloader meaning there are still ways
for bootloaders to make things difficult for us.Fix this by introducing INITRAMFS_FORCE which can prevent the kernel
from loading the bootloader supplied image.We use CMDLINE_FORCE (and its friend CMDLINE_EXTEND) to imply that the
system has an inflexible bootloader. This allow us to avoid presenting
this config option to users of systems where inflexible bootloaders
aren't usually a problem.Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170217121940.30126-1-daniel.thompson@linaro.org

a statement after a label, or you'll get complaints:init/initramfs.c: In function 'populate_rootfs':

In OpenRISC we do not have a bootloader passed initrd, but the built in
initramfs does contain the /init and other binaries, including modules.
The previous commit 08865514805d2 ("initramfs: finish fput() before
accessing any binary from initramfs") made a change to only call fput()
if the bootloader initrd was available, this caused intermittent crashes
for OpenRISC.This patch changes the fput() to happen unconditionally if any rootfs is
loaded. Also, I added some comments to make it a bit more clear why we
call unpack_to_rootfs() multiple times.Fixes: 08865514805d2 ("initramfs: finish fput() before accessing any binary from initramfs")

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
"New features for this release:- Pretty much a full rewrite of the processing of function plugins.

do_IRQ:stacktrace > set_ftrace_filter The old way was written very
hacky. This removes a lot of those hacks.- New "function-fork" tracing option. When set, pids in the
set_ftrace_pid will have their children added when the processes
with their pids listed in the set_ftrace_pid file forks.- Exposure of "maxactive" for kretprobe in kprobe_events

If the CONFIG_SRCU option is not selected, for example, when building
arch/tile allnoconfig, the following build errors appear:kernel/rcu/tree.o: In function `srcu_online_cpu':
tree.c:(.text+0x4248): multiple definition of `srcu_online_cpu'
kernel/rcu/srcutree.o:srcutree.c:(.text+0x2120): first defined here
kernel/rcu/tree.o: In function `srcu_offline_cpu':
tree.c:(.text+0x4250): multiple definition of `srcu_offline_cpu'
kernel/rcu/srcutree.o:srcutree.c:(.text+0x2160): first defined hereThe corresponding .config file shows CONFIG_TREE_SRCU=y, but no sign
of CONFIG_SRCU, which fatally confuses SRCU's #ifdefs, resulting in
the above errors. The reason this occurs is the folowing line in
init/Kconfig's definition for TREE_SRCU:default y if !TINY_RCU && !CLASSIC_SRCU
If CONFIG_CLASSIC_SRCU=n, as it will be in for allnoconfig, and if
CONFIG_SMP=y, then we will get CONFIG_TREE_SRCU=y but no CONFIG_SRCU,
as seen in the .config file, and which will result in the above errors.
This error did not show up during rcutorture testing because rcutorture
forces CONFIG_SRCU=y, as it must to prevent build errors in rcutorture.c.This commit therefore conditions TREE_SRCU (and TINY_SRCU, while it is
at it) with SRCU, like this:default y if SRCU && !TINY_RCU && !CLASSIC_SRCU

this.Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney

The TREE_SRCU rewrite is large and a bit on the non-simple side, so
this commit helps reduce risk by allowing the old v4.11 SRCU algorithm
to be selected using a new CLASSIC_SRCU Kconfig option that depends
on RCU_EXPERT. The default is to use the new TREE_SRCU and TINY_SRCU
algorithms, in order to help get these the testing that they need.
However, if your users do not require the update-side scalability that
is to be provided by TREE_SRCU, select RCU_EXPERT and then CLASSIC_SRCU
to revert back to the old classic SRCU algorithm.Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney

Relying on free_reserved_area() to call ftrace to free init memory proved to
not be sufficient. The issue is that on x86, when debug_pagealloc is
enabled, the init memory is not freed, but simply set as not present. Since
ftrace was uninformed of this, starting function tracing still tries to
update pages that are not present according to the page tables, causing
ftrace to bug, as well as killing the kernel itself.Instead of relying on free_reserved_area(), have init/main.c call ftrace
directly just before it frees the init memory. Then it needs to use
__init_begin and __init_end to know where the init memory location is.
Looking at all archs (and testing what I can), it appears that this should
work for each of them.Reported-by: kernel test robot

Pull IDR rewrite from Matthew Wilcox:
"The most significant part of the following is the patch to rewrite the
IDR & IDA to be clients of the radix tree. But there's much more,
including an enhancement of the IDA to be significantly more space
efficient, an IDR & IDA test suite, some improvements to the IDR API
(and driver changes to take advantage of those improvements), several
improvements to the radix tree test suite and RCU annotations.The IDR & IDA rewrite had a good spin in linux-next and Andrew's tree
for most of the last cycle. Coupled with the IDR test suite, I feel
pretty confident that any remaining bugs are quite hard to hit. 0-day
did a great job of watching my git tree and pointing out problems; as
it hit them, I added new test-cases to be sure not to be caught the
same way twice"Willy goes on to expand a bit on the IDR rewrite rationale:
"The radix tree and the IDR use very similar data structures.Merging the two codebases lets us share the memory allocation pools,
and results in a net deletion of 500 lines of code. It also opens up
the possibility of exposing more of the features of the radix tree to
users of the IDR (and I have some interesting patches along those
lines waiting for 4.12)It also shrinks the size of the 'struct idr' from 40 bytes to 24 which
will shrink a fair few data structures that embed an IDR"* 'idr-4.11' of git://git.infradead.org/users/willy/linux-dax: (32 commits)

result to sort and uniq the output. v2 has always mangled the sort
order to ensure that users don't depend on the sorted output, so

things. Since they were in cacheflush.h, If someone change the state of
CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA_TEST, It cause overhead of kernel build.To solve the above issues, write arch-independent testcases and move it
to shared location.[jinb.park7@gmail.com: fix config dependency]

Commit 4a9d4b024a31 ("switch fput to task_work_add") implements a
schedule_work() for completing fput(), but did not guarantee calling
__fput() after unpacking initramfs. Because of this, there is a
possibility that during boot a driver can see ETXTBSY when it tries to
load a binary from initramfs as fput() is still pending on that binary.This patch makes sure that fput() is completed after unpacking initramfs
and removes the call to flush_delayed_fput() in kernel_init() which
happens very late after unpacking initramfs.Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170201140540.22051-1-lokeshvutla@ti.com

Pull printk updates from Petr Mladek:
- Add Petr Mladek, Sergey Senozhatsky as printk maintainers, and Steven
Rostedt as the printk reviewer. This idea came up after the
discussion about printk issues at Kernel Summit. It was formulated
and discussed at lkml[1].- Extend a lock-less NMI per-cpu buffers idea to handle recursive
printk() calls by Sergey Senozhatsky[2]. It is the first step in
sanitizing printk as discussed at Kernel Summit.The change allows to see messages that would normally get ignored or
would cause a deadlock.Also it allows to enable lockdep in printk(). This already paid off.
The testing in linux-next helped to discover two old problems that
were hidden before[3][4].- Remove unused parameter by Sergey Senozhatsky. Clean up after a past
change.[1] http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1481798878-31898-1-git-send-email-pmladek@suse.com

printk: use printk_safe buffers in printk
printk: report lost messages in printk safe/nmi contexts
printk: always use deferred printk when flush printk_safe lines
printk: introduce per-cpu safe_print seq buffer
printk: rename nmi.c and exported api
printk: use vprintk_func in vprintk()
MAINTAINERS: Add printk maintainers -
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.[akpm@linux-foundation.org: kset_unregister(NULL) is legal]
