Pull char/misc driver updates from Greg KH:
"Here is the bit set of char/misc drivers for 4.19-rc1There is a lot here, much more than normal, seems like everyone is
writing new driver subsystems these days... Anyway, major things here
are:- new FSI driver subsystem, yet-another-powerpc low-level hardware
bus- gnss, finally an in-kernel GPS subsystem to try to tame all of the
crazy out-of-tree drivers that have been floating around for years,
combined with some really hacky userspace implementations. This is
only for GNSS receivers, but you have to start somewhere, and this
is great to see.Other than that, there are new slimbus drivers, new coresight drivers,
new fpga drivers, and loads of DT bindings for all of these and
existing drivers.All of these have been in linux-next for a while with no reported
issues"* tag 'char-misc-4.19-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/char-misc: (255 commits)

Pull xfs updates from Darrick Wong:
"New features this cycle include the ability to relabel mounted
filesystems, support for fallocated swapfiles, and using FUA for pure
data O_DSYNC directio writes. With this cycle we begin to integrate
online filesystem repair and refactor the growfs code in preparation
for eventual subvolume support, though the road ahead for both
features is quite long.There are also numerous refactorings of the iomap code to remove
unnecessary log overhead, to disentangle some of the quota code, and
to prepare for buffer head removal in a future upstream kernel.Metadata validation continues to improve, both in the hot path
veifiers and the online filesystem check code. I anticipate sending a
second pull request in a few days with more metadata validation
improvements.This series has been run through a full xfstests run over the weekend
and through a quick xfstests run against this morning's master, with
no major failures reported.Summary:
- Strengthen inode number and structure validation when allocating
inodes.- Reduce pointless buffer allocations during cache miss
- Use FUA for pure data O_DSYNC directio writes
- Various iomap refactorings
- Strengthen quota metadata verification to avoid unfixable broken
quota- Make AGFL block freeing a deferred operation to avoid blowing out
transaction reservations when running complex operations- Get rid of the log item descriptors to reduce log overhead
- Fix various reflink bugs where inodes were double-joined to
transactions- Don't issue discards when trimming unwritten extents
- Refactor incore dquot initialization and retrieval interfaces
- Fix some locking problmes in the quota scrub code
- Strengthen btree structure checks in scrub code
- Rewrite swapfile activation to use iomap and support unwritten
extents- Make scrub exit to userspace sooner when corruptions or
cross-referencing problems are found- Make scrub invoke the data fork scrubber directly on metadata
inodes- Don't do background reclamation of post-eof and cow blocks when the
fs is suspended- Fix secondary superblock buffer lifespan hinting
- Refactor growfs to use table-dispatched functions instead of long
stringy functions- Move growfs code to libxfs
- Implement online fs label getting and setting
- Introduce online filesystem repair (in a very limited capacity)
- Fix unit conversion problems in the realtime freemap iteration
functions- Various refactorings and cleanups in preparation to remove buffer
heads in a future release- Reimplement the old bmap call with iomap
- Remove direct buffer head accesses from seek hole/data

This retains 256 chars as the maximum size through the interface, which
is the btrfs limit and AFAIK exceeds any other filesystem's maximum
label size.This just copies the ioctl for now and leaves it in place for btrfs
for the time being. A later patch will allow btrfs to use the new
common ioctl definition, but it may be sent after this is merged.(Note, Reviewed-by's were originally given for the combined vfs+btrfs

This driver is a logical device which provides an
interface between the hypervisor and a management
partition. This interface is like a message
passing interface. This management partition
is intended to provide an alternative to HMC-based
system management.VMC enables the Management LPAR to provide basic
logical partition functions:
- Logical Partition Configuration
- Boot, start, and stop actions for individual
partitions
- Display of partition status
- Management of virtual Ethernet
- Management of virtual Storage
- Basic system managementThis driver is to be used for the POWER Virtual
Management Channel Virtual Adapter on the PowerPC
platform. It provides a character device which
allows for both request/response and async message
support through the /dev/ibmvmc node.Signed-off-by: Bryant G. Ly

The Tile architecture port was added by Chris Metcalf in 2010, and
maintained until early 2018 when he orphaned it due to his departure
from Mellanox, and nobody else stepped up to maintain it. The product
line is still around in the form of the BlueField SoC, but no longer
uses the Tile architecture.There are also still products for sale with Tile-GX SoCs, notably the
Mikrotik CCR router family. The products all use old (linux-3.3) kernels
with lots of patches and won't be upgraded by their manufacturers. There
have been efforts to port both OpenWRT and Debian to these, but both
projects have stalled and are very unlikely to be continued in the future.Given that we are reasonably sure that nobody is still using the port
with an upstream kernel any more, it seems better to remove it now while
the port is in a good shape than to let it bitrot for a few years first.Cc: Chris Metcalf

Pull TEE driver infrastructure and OP-TEE drivers from Arnd Bergmann:
"This introduces a generic TEE framework in the kernel, to handle
trusted environemtns (security coprocessor or software implementations
such as OP-TEE/TrustZone). I'm sending it separately from the other
arm-soc driver changes to give it a little more visibility, once the
subsystem is merged, we will likely keep this in the arm₋soc drivers
branch or have the maintainers submit pull requests directly,
depending on the patch volume.I have reviewed earlier versions in the past, and have reviewed the
latest version in person during Linaro Connect BUD17.Here is my overall assessment of the subsystem:
- There is clearly demand for this, both for the generic
infrastructure and the specific OP-TEE implementation.- The code has gone through a large number of reviews, and the review
comments have all been addressed, but the reviews were not coming
up with serious issues any more and nobody volunteered to vouch for
the quality.- The user space ioctl interface is sufficient to work with the
OP-TEE driver, and it should in principle work with other TEE
implementations that follow the GlobalPlatform[1] standards, but it
might need to be extended in minor ways depending on specific
requirements of future TEE implementations- The main downside of the API to me is how the user space is tied to
the TEE implementation in hardware or firmware, but uses a generic
way to communicate with it. This seems to be an inherent problem
with what it is trying to do, and I could not come up with any
better solution than what is implemented here.For a detailed history of the patch series, see

Initial patch for generic TEE subsystem.
This subsystem provides:
* Registration/un-registration of TEE drivers.
* Shared memory between normal world and secure world.
* Ioctl interface for interaction with user space.
* Sysfs implementation_id of TEE driverA TEE (Trusted Execution Environment) driver is a driver that interfaces
with a trusted OS running in some secure environment, for example,
TrustZone on ARM cpus, or a separate secure co-processor etc.The TEE subsystem can serve a TEE driver for a Global Platform compliant
TEE, but it's not limited to only Global Platform TEEs.This patch builds on other similar implementations trying to solve
the same problem:

Jean-michel DELORME and
Emmanuel MICHEL

This driver allows rpmsg instances to expose access to rpmsg endpoints
to user space processes. It provides a control interface, allowing
userspace to export endpoints and an endpoint interface for each exposed
endpoint.The implementation is based on prior art by Texas Instrument, Google,
PetaLogix and was derived from a FreeRTOS performance statistics driver
written by Michal Simek.The control interface provides a "create endpoint" ioctl, which is fed a
name, source and destination address. The three values are used to
create the endpoint, in a backend-specific way, and a rpmsg endpoint
device is created - with the three parameters are available in sysfs for
udev usage.E.g. to create an endpoint device for one of the Qualcomm SMD channel
related to DIAG one would issue:struct rpmsg_endpoint_info info = { "DIAG_CNTL", 0, 0 };
int fd = open("/dev/rpmsg_ctrl0", O_RDWR);
ioctl(fd, RPMSG_CREATE_EPT_IOCTL, &info);Each created endpoint device shows up as an individual character device
in /dev, allowing permission to be controlled on a per-endpoint basis.
The rpmsg endpoint will be created and destroyed following the opening
and closing of the endpoint device, allowing rpmsg backends to open and
close the physical channel, if supported by the wire protocol.Cc: Marek Novak

- The guide currently says to pad the structure to a multiple of
64-bits. This is not necessary in cases where the structure contains
no 64-bit types. Clarify this concept to avoid unnecessary padding.
- When using __u64 to hold user pointers, blindly trying to do a cast to
a void __user * may generate a warning on 32-bit systems about a cast
from an integer to a pointer of different size. There is a macro to
deal with this which hides an ugly double cast. Add a reference to
this macro.Signed-off-by: Laura Abbott

The header file "include/linux/nilfs2_fs.h" is composed of parts for
ioctl and disk format, and both are intended to be shared with user
space programs.This moves them to the uapi directory "include/uapi/linux" splitting the
file to "nilfs2_api.h" and "nilfs2_ondisk.h". The following minor
changes are accompanied by this migration:- nilfs_direct_node struct in nilfs2/direct.h is converged to
nilfs2_ondisk.h because it's an on-disk structure.
- inline functions nilfs_rec_len_from_disk() and
nilfs_rec_len_to_disk() are moved to nilfs2/dir.c.Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1465825507-3407-4-git-send-email-konishi.ryusuke@lab.ntt.co.jp

Open-channel SSDs are devices that share responsibilities with the host
in order to implement and maintain features that typical SSDs keep
strictly in firmware. These include (i) the Flash Translation Layer
(FTL), (ii) bad block management, and (iii) hardware units such as the
flash controller, the interface controller, and large amounts of flash
chips. In this way, Open-channels SSDs exposes direct access to their
physical flash storage, while keeping a subset of the internal features
of SSDs.LightNVM is a specification that gives support to Open-channel SSDs
LightNVM allows the host to manage data placement, garbage collection,
and parallelism. Device specific responsibilities such as bad block
management, FTL extensions to support atomic IOs, or metadata
persistence are still handled by the device.The implementation of LightNVM consists of two parts: core and
(multiple) targets. The core implements functionality shared across
targets. This is initialization, teardown and statistics. The targets
implement the interface that exposes physical flash to user-space
applications. Examples of such targets include key-value store,
object-store, as well as traditional block devices, which can be
application-specific.Contributions in this patch from:

A System Trace Module (STM) is a device exporting data in System Trace
Protocol (STP) format as defined by MIPI STP standards. Examples of such
devices are Intel(R) Trace Hub and Coresight STM.This abstraction provides a unified interface for software trace sources
to send their data over an STM device to a debug host. In order to do
that, such a trace source needs to be assigned a pair of master/channel
identifiers that all the data from this source will be tagged with. The
STP decoder on the debug host side will use these master/channel tags to
distinguish different trace streams from one another inside one STP
stream.This abstraction provides a configfs-based policy management mechanism
for dynamic allocation of these master/channel pairs based on trace
source-supplied string identifier. It has the flexibility of being
defined at runtime and at the same time (provided that the policy
definition is aligned with the decoding end) consistency.For userspace trace sources, this abstraction provides write()-based and
mmap()-based (if the underlying stm device allows this) output mechanism.For kernel-side trace sources, we provide "stm_source" device class that
can be connected to an stm device at run time.Cc: linux-api@vger.kernel.org
