The description of "regulator-boot-on" was a little unclear, at least
to me. Did this property mean that we should turn the regulator on at
boot? Or perhaps it was intended only to be used for regulators where
we couldn't read the state at bootup to indicate what state we should
assume? The answer, it turns out, is both [1].Let's document this.

Merge active entropy generation updates.
This is admittedly partly "for discussion". We need to have a way
forward for the boot time deadlocks where user space ends up waiting for
more entropy, but no entropy is forthcoming because the system is
entirely idle just waiting for something to happen.While this was triggered by what is arguably a user space bug with
GDM/gnome-session asking for secure randomness during early boot, when
they didn't even need any such truly secure thing, the issue ends up
being that our "getrandom()" interface is prone to that kind of
confusion, because people don't think very hard about whether they want
to block for sufficient amounts of entropy.The approach here-in is to decide to not just passively wait for entropy
to happen, but to start actively collecting it if it is missing. This
is not necessarily always possible, but if the architecture has a CPU
cycle counter, there is a fair amount of noise in the exact timings of
reasonably complex loads.We may end up tweaking the load and the entropy estimates, but this
should be at least a reasonable starting point.As part of this, we also revert the revert of the ext4 IO pattern
improvement that ended up triggering the reported lack of external
entropy.* getrandom() active entropy waiting:
Revert "Revert "ext4: make __ext4_get_inode_loc plug""
random: try to actively add entropy rather than passively wait for it -
This reverts commit 72dbcf72156641fde4d8ea401e977341bfd35a05.
Instead of waiting forever for entropy that may just not happen, we now
try to actively generate entropy when required, and are thus hopefully
avoiding the problem that caused the nice ext4 IO pattern fix to be
reverted.So revert the revert.

For 5.3 we had to revert a nice ext4 IO pattern improvement, because it
caused a bootup regression due to lack of entropy at bootup together
with arguably broken user space that was asking for secure random
numbers when it really didn't need to.See commit 72dbcf721566 (Revert "ext4: make __ext4_get_inode_loc plug").
This aims to solve the issue by actively generating entropy noise using
the CPU cycle counter when waiting for the random number generator to
initialize. This only works when you have a high-frequency time stamp
counter available, but that's the case on all modern x86 CPU's, and on
most other modern CPU's too.What we do is to generate jitter entropy from the CPU cycle counter
under a somewhat complex load: calling the scheduler while also
guaranteeing a certain amount of timing noise by also triggering a
timer.I'm sure we can tweak this, and that people will want to look at other
alternatives, but there's been a number of papers written on jitter
entropy, and this should really be fairly conservative by crediting one
bit of entropy for every timer-induced jump in the cycle counter. Not
because the timer itself would be all that unpredictable, but because
the interaction between the timer and the loop is going to be.Even if (and perhaps particularly if) the timer actually happens on
another CPU, the cacheline interaction between the loop that reads the
cycle counter and the timer itself firing is going to add perturbations
to the cycle counter values that get mixed into the entropy pool.As Thomas pointed out, with a modern out-of-order CPU, even quite simple
loops show a fair amount of hard-to-predict timing variability even in
the absense of external interrupts. But this tries to take that further
by actually having a fairly complex interaction.This is not going to solve the entropy issue for architectures that have
no CPU cycle counter, but it's not clear how (and if) that is solvable,
and the hardware in question is largely starting to be irrelevant. And
by doing this we can at least avoid some of the even more contentious
approaches (like making the entropy waiting time out in order to avoid
the possibly unbounded waiting).Cc: Ahmed Darwish

Merge hugepage allocation updates from David Rientjes:
"We (mostly Linus, Andrea, and myself) have been discussing offlist how
to implement a sane default allocation strategy for hugepages on NUMA
platforms.With these reverts in place, the page allocator will happily allocate
a remote hugepage immediately rather than try to make a local hugepage
available. This incurs a substantial performance degradation when
memory compaction would have otherwise made a local hugepage
available.This series reverts those reverts and attempts to propose a more sane
default allocation strategy specifically for hugepages. Andrea
acknowledges this is likely to fix the swap storms that he originally
reported that resulted in the patches that removed __GFP_THISNODE from
hugepage allocations.The immediate goal is to return 5.3 to the behavior the kernel has
implemented over the past several years so that remote hugepages are
not immediately allocated when local hugepages could have been made
available because the increased access latency is untenable.The next goal is to introduce a sane default allocation strategy for
hugepages allocations in general regardless of the configuration of
the system so that we prevent thrashing of local memory when
compaction is unlikely to succeed and can prefer remote hugepages over
remote native pages when the local node is low on memory."Note on timing: this reverts the hugepage VM behavior changes that got
introduced fairly late in the 5.3 cycle, and that fixed a huge
performance regression for certain loads that had been around since
4.18.Andrea had this note:
"The regression of 4.18 was that it was taking hours to start a VM
where 3.10 was only taking a few seconds, I reported all the details
on lkml when it was finally tracked down in August 2018.https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20180820032640.9896-2-aarcange@redhat.com/
__GFP_THISNODE in MADV_HUGEPAGE made the above enterprise vfio
workload degrade like in the "current upstream" above. And it still
would have been that bad as above until 5.3-rc5"where the bad behavior ends up happening as you fill up a local node,
and without that change, you'd get into the nasty swap storm behavior
due to compaction working overtime to make room for more memory on the
nodes.As a result 5.3 got the two performance fix reverts in rc5.
However, David Rientjes then noted that those performance fixes in turn
regressed performance for other loads - although not quite to the same
degree. He suggested reverting the reverts and instead replacing them
with two small changes to how hugepage allocations are done (patch
descriptions rephrased by me):- "avoid expensive reclaim when compaction may not succeed": just admit
that the allocation failed when you're trying to allocate a huge-page
and compaction wasn't successful.- "allow hugepage fallback to remote nodes when madvised": when that
node-local huge-page allocation failed, retry without forcing the
local node.but by then I judged it too late to replace the fixes for a 5.3 release.
So 5.3 was released with behavior that harked back to the pre-4.18 logic.But now we're in the merge window for 5.4, and we can see if this
alternate model fixes not just the horrendous swap storm behavior, but
also restores the performance regression that the late reverts caused.Fingers crossed.

Revert "Revert "mm, thp: restore node-local hugepage allocations"" -
The "same probe" selftest that tests that adding the same probe fails
doesn't add the same probe and passes, which fails the test.Fixes: b78b94b82122 ("selftests/ftrace: Update kprobe event error testcase")

To improve the readability of raw slab trace points, print the call_site ip
using '%pS'. Then we can grep events with function names.[002] .... 808.188897: kmem_cache_free: call_site=putname+0x47/0x50 ptr=00000000cef40c80

In predicate_parse, there is an error path that is not going to
out_free instead it returns directly which leads to a memory leak.Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20190920225800.3870-1-navid.emamdoost@gmail.com

After r372664 in clang, the IF_ASSIGN macro causes a couple hundred
warnings along the lines of:kernel/trace/trace_output.c:1331:2: warning: converting the enum
constant to a boolean [-Wint-in-bool-context]
kernel/trace/trace.h:409:3: note: expanded from macro
'trace_assign_type'
IF_ASSIGN(var, ent, struct ftrace_graph_ret_entry,
^
kernel/trace/trace.h:371:14: note: expanded from macro 'IF_ASSIGN'
WARN_ON(id && (entry)->type != id); \
^
264 warnings generated.This warning can catch issues with constructs like:
if (state == A || B)
where the developer really meant:
if (state == A || state == B)
This is currently the only occurrence of the warning in the kernel
tree across defconfig, allyesconfig, allmodconfig for arm32, arm64,
and x86_64. Add the implicit '!= 0' to the WARN_ON statement to fix
the warnings and find potential issues in the future.Link: https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/commit/28b38c277a2941e9e891b2db30652cfd962f070b
