In reaction to a proposal to introduce a memcpy_mcsafe_fast()
implementation Linus points out that memcpy_mcsafe() is poorly named
relative to communicating the scope of the interface. Specifically what
addresses are valid to pass as source, destination, and what faults /
exceptions are handled.Of particular concern is that even though x86 might be able to handle
the semantics of copy_mc_to_user() with its common copy_user_generic()
implementation other archs likely need / want an explicit path for this
case:On Fri, May 1, 2020 at 11:28 AM Linus Torvalds wrote:

copy_mc_to_user(), or copy_mc_to_kernel().Introduce an x86 copy_mc_fragile() name as the rename for the
low-level x86 implementation formerly named memcpy_mcsafe(). It is used
as the slow / careful backend that is supplanted by a fast
copy_mc_generic() in a follow-on patch.One side-effect of this reorganization is that separating copy_mc_64.S
to its own file means that perf no longer needs to track dependencies
for its memcpy_64.S benchmarks.[ bp: Massage a bit. ]

- Add unzstd() and the zstd decompress interface.
- Add zstd support to decompress_method().
The decompress_method() and unzstd() functions are used to decompress
the initramfs and the initrd. The __decompress() function is used in
the preboot environment to decompress a zstd compressed kernel.The zstd decompression function allows the input and output buffers to
overlap because that is used by x86 kernel decompression.Signed-off-by: Nick Terrell

The pldmfw library is used to implement common logic needed to flash
devices based on firmware files using the format described by the PLDM
for Firmware Update standard.This library consists of logic to parse the PLDM file format from
a firmware file object, as well as common logic for sending the relevant
PLDM header data to the device firmware.A simple ops table is provided so that device drivers can implement
device specific hardware interactions while keeping the common logic to
the pldmfw library.This library will be used by the Intel ice networking driver as part of
implementing device flash update via devlink. The library aims to be
vendor and device agnostic. For this reason, it has been placed in
lib/pldmfw, in the hopes that other devices which use the PLDM firmware
file format may benefit from it in the future. However, do note that not
all features defined in the PLDM standard have been implemented.Signed-off-by: Jacob Keller

Pull arm64 updates from Will Deacon:
"A sizeable pile of arm64 updates for 5.8.Summary below, but the big two features are support for Branch Target
Identification and Clang's Shadow Call stack. The latter is currently
arm64-only, but the high-level parts are all in core code so it could
easily be adopted by other architectures pending toolchain supportBranch Target Identification (BTI):
- Support for ARMv8.5-BTI in both user- and kernel-space. This allows
branch targets to limit the types of branch from which they can be
called and additionally prevents branching to arbitrary code,
although kernel support requires a very recent toolchain.- Function annotation via SYM_FUNC_START() so that assembly functions
are wrapped with the relevant "landing pad" instructions.- BPF and vDSO updates to use the new instructions.
- Addition of a new HWCAP and exposure of BTI capability to userspace
via ID register emulation, along with ELF loader support for the
BTI feature in .note.gnu.property.- Non-critical fixes to CFI unwind annotations in the sigreturn
trampoline.Shadow Call Stack (SCS):
- Support for Clang's Shadow Call Stack feature, which reserves
platform register x18 to point at a separate stack for each task
that holds only return addresses. This protects function return
control flow from buffer overruns on the main stack.- Save/restore of x18 across problematic boundaries (user-mode,
hypervisor, EFI, suspend, etc).- Core support for SCS, should other architectures want to use it
too.- SCS overflow checking on context-switch as part of the existing
stack limit check if CONFIG_SCHED_STACK_END_CHECK=y.CPU feature detection:
- Removed numerous "SANITY CHECK" errors when running on a system
with mismatched AArch32 support at EL1. This is primarily a concern
for KVM, which disabled support for 32-bit guests on such a system.- Addition of new ID registers and fields as the architecture has
been extended.Perf and PMU drivers:
- Minor fixes and cleanups to system PMU drivers.
Hardware errata:
- Unify KVM workarounds for VHE and nVHE configurations.
- Sort vendor errata entries in Kconfig.
Secure Monitor Call Calling Convention (SMCCC):
- Update to the latest specification from Arm (v1.2).
- Allow PSCI code to query the SMCCC version.
Software Delegated Exception Interface (SDEI):
- Unexport a bunch of unused symbols.
- Minor fixes to handling of firmware data.
Pointer authentication:
- Add support for dumping the kernel PAC mask in vmcoreinfo so that
the stack can be unwound by tools such as kdump.- Simplification of key initialisation during CPU bringup.
BPF backend:
- Improve immediate generation for logical and add/sub instructions.
vDSO:
- Minor fixes to the linker flags for consistency with other
architectures and support for LLVM's unwinder.- Clean up logic to initialise and map the vDSO into userspace.
ACPI:
- Work around for an ambiguity in the IORT specification relating to
the "num_ids" field.- Support _DMA method for all named components rather than only PCIe
root complexes.- Minor other IORT-related fixes.

Many devices have control registers which control some measurable
property. Often a register contains control field so that change in
this field causes linear change in the controlled property. It is not
a rare case that user wants to give 'meaningful' control values and
driver needs to convert them to register field values. Even more
often user wants to 'see' the currently set value - again in
meaningful units - and driver needs to convert the values it reads
from register to these meaningful units. Examples of this include:- regulators, voltage/current configurations
- power, voltage/current configurations
- clk(?) NCOsand maybe others I can't think of right now.
Provide a linear_range helper which can do conversion from user value
to register value 'selector'.The idea here is stolen from regulator framework and patches refactoring
the regulator helpers to use this are following.Current implementation does not support inversely proportional ranges
but it might be useful if we could support also inversely proportional
ranges?Signed-off-by: Matti Vaittinen

The "sub-section memory hotplug" facility allows memremap_pages() users
like libnvdimm to compensate for hardware platforms like x86 that have a
section size larger than their hardware memory mapping granularity. The
compensation that sub-section support affords is being tolerant of
physical memory resources shifting by units smaller (64MiB on x86) than
the memory-hotplug section size (128 MiB). Where the platform
physical-memory mapping granularity is limited by the number and
capability of address-decode-registers in the memory controller.While the sub-section support allows memremap_pages() to operate on
sub-section (2MiB) granularity, the Power architecture may still
require 16MiB alignment on "!radix_enabled()" platforms.In order for libnvdimm to be able to detect and manage this per-arch
limitation, introduce memremap_compat_align() as a common minimum
alignment across all driver-facing memory-mapping interfaces, and let
Power override it to 16MiB in the "!radix_enabled()" case.The assumption / requirement for 16MiB to be a viable
memremap_compat_align() value is that Power does not have platforms
where its equivalent of address-decode-registers never hardware remaps a
persistent memory resource on smaller than 16MiB boundaries. Note that I
tried my best to not add a new Kconfig symbol, but header include
entanglements defeated the #ifndef memremap_compat_align design pattern
and the need to export it defeats the __weak design pattern for arch
overrides.Based on an initial patch by Aneesh.

Patch series "S390 hardware support for kernel zlib", v3.
With IBM z15 mainframe the new DFLTCC instruction is available. It
implements deflate algorithm in hardware (Nest Acceleration Unit - NXU)
with estimated compression and decompression performance orders of
magnitude faster than the current zlib.This patchset adds s390 hardware compression support to kernel zlib.
The code is based on the userspace zlib implementation:https://github.com/madler/zlib/pull/410
The coding style is also preserved for future maintainability. There is
only limited set of userspace zlib functions represented in kernel.
Apart from that, all the memory allocation should be performed in
advance. Thus, the workarea structures are extended with the parameter
lists required for the DEFLATE CONVENTION CALL instruction.Since kernel zlib itself does not support gzip headers, only Adler-32
checksum is processed (also can be produced by DFLTCC facility). Like
it was implemented for userspace, kernel zlib will compress in hardware
on level 1, and in software on all other levels. Decompression will
always happen in hardware (when enabled).Two DFLTCC compression calls produce the same results only when they
both are made on machines of the same generation, and when the
respective buffers have the same offset relative to the start of the
page. Therefore care should be taken when using hardware compression
when reproducible results are desired. However it does always produce
the standard conform output which can be inflated anyway.The new kernel command line parameter 'dfltcc' is introduced to
configure s390 zlib hardware support:Format: { on | off | def_only | inf_only | always }
on: s390 zlib hardware support for compression on
level 1 and decompression (default)
off: No s390 zlib hardware support
def_only: s390 zlib hardware support for deflate
only (compression on level 1)
inf_only: s390 zlib hardware support for inflate
only (decompression)
always: Same as 'on' but ignores the selected compression
level always using hardware support (used for debugging)The main purpose of the integration of the NXU support into the kernel
zlib is the use of hardware deflate in btrfs filesystem with on-the-fly
compression enabled. Apart from that, hardware support can also be used
during boot for decompressing the kernel or the ramdisk imageWith the patch for btrfs expanding zlib buffer from 1 to 4 pages (patch
6) the following performance results have been achieved using the
ramdisk with btrfs. These are relative numbers based on throughput rate
and compression ratio for zlib level 1:Input data Deflate rate Inflate rate Compression ratio
NXU/Software NXU/Software NXU/Software
stream of zeroes 1.46 1.02 1.00
random ASCII data 10.44 3.00 0.96
ASCII text (dickens) 6,21 3.33 0.94
binary data (vmlinux) 8,37 3.90 1.02This means that s390 hardware deflate can provide up to 10 times faster
compression (on level 1) and up to 4 times faster decompression (refers
to all compression levels) for btrfs zlib.Disclaimer: Performance results are based on IBM internal tests using DD
command-line utility on btrfs on a Fedora 30 based internal driver in
native LPAR on a z15 system. Results may vary based on individual
workload, configuration and software levels.This patch (of 9):
Create zlib_dfltcc library with the s390 DEFLATE CONVERSION CALL
implementation and related compression functions. Update zlib_deflate
functions with the hooks for s390 hardware support and adjust workspace
structures with extra parameter lists required for hardware deflate.Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20200103223334.20669-2-zaslonko@linux.ibm.com

the kernel command line in an efficient way.Boot config will contain some key-value commands, e.g.
key.word = value1
another.key.word = value2It can fold same keys with braces, also you can write array
data. For example,key {
word1 {
setting1 = data
setting2
}
word2.array = "val1", "val2"
}User can access these key-value pair and tree structure via
SKC APIs.Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/157867221257.17873.1775090991929862549.stgit@devnote2

A lot of architectures reuse the same simple ioremap implementation, so
start lifting the most simple variant to lib/ioremap.c. It provides
ioremap_prot and iounmap, plus a default ioremap that uses prot_noncached,
although that can be overridden by asm/io.h.Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig

regardless of memory layout. The basic unit of data for these API
functions is the u64. The process of transforming an u64 from native CPU

do the stack storage and filtering at the architecture side.Provide a consolidated interface with a callback function for consuming the

- move the dummy dma ops for not DMA capable devices from arm64 to

This is helpful for systems where fast startup time is important.
It is especially nice to avoid benchmarking RAID functions that are
never used (for example, BTRFS selects RAID6_PQ even if the parity RAID
mode is not in use).This saves 250+ milliseconds of boot time on modern x86 and ARM systems
with a dozen or more available implementations.The new option is defaulted to 'y' to match the previous behavior of
always benchmarking on init.Signed-off-by: Daniel Verkamp
