(Mika Westerberg).- Fix some corner case issues in ACPI device power management and in
the PCI bus type layer, optimiza and clean up the handling of
runtime-suspended PCI devices during system-wide transitions to
sleep states (Rafael Wysocki).- Rework hibernation handling in the ACPI core and the PCI bus type
to resume runtime-suspended devices before hibernation (which
allows some functional problems to be avoided) and fix some ACPI

Pull GPIO updates from Linus Walleij:
"This is the big slew of GPIO changes for the v5.3 kernel cycle. This
is mostly incremental work this time.Three important things:
- The FMC subsystem is deleted through my tree. This happens through
GPIO as its demise was discussed in relation to a patch decoupling
its GPIO implementation from the standard way of handling GPIO. As
it turns out, that is not the only subsystem it reimplements and
the authors think it is better do scratch it and start over using
the proper kernel subsystems than try to polish the rust shiny. See
the commit (ACKed by the maintainers) for details.- Arnd made a small devres patch that was ACKed by Greg and goes into
the device core.- SPDX header change colissions may happen, because at times I've
seen that quite a lot changed during the -rc:s in regards to SPDX.
(It is good stuff, tglx has me convinced, and it is worth the
occasional pain.)Apart from this is is nothing controversial or problematic.
Summary:
Core:
- When a gpio_chip request GPIOs from itself, it can now fully
control the line characteristics, both machine and consumer flags.
This makes a lot of sense, but took some time before I figured out
that this is how it has to work.- Several smallish documentation fixes.
New drivers:
- The PCA953x driver now supports the TI TCA9539.
- The DaVinci driver now supports the K3 AM654 SoCs.
Driver improvements:
- Major overhaul and hardening of the OMAP driver by Russell King.
- Starting to move some drivers to the new API passing irq_chip along
with the gpio_chip when adding the gpio_chip instead of adding it
separately.Unrelated:
- Delete the FMC subsystem"

Currently KVM_STATE_NESTED_EVMCS is used to signal that eVMCS
capability is enabled on vCPU.
As indicated by vmx->nested.enlightened_vmcs_enabled.This is quite bizarre as userspace VMM should make sure to expose
same vCPU with same CPUID values in both source and destination.
In case vCPU is exposed with eVMCS support on CPUID, it is also
expected to enable KVM_CAP_HYPERV_ENLIGHTENED_VMCS capability.
Therefore, KVM_STATE_NESTED_EVMCS is redundant.KVM_STATE_NESTED_EVMCS is currently used on restore path
(vmx_set_nested_state()) only to enable eVMCS capability in KVM
and to signal need_vmcs12_sync such that on next VMEntry to guest
nested_sync_from_vmcs12() will be called to sync vmcs12 content
into eVMCS in guest memory.
However, because restore nested-state is rare enough, we could
have just modified vmx_set_nested_state() to always signal
need_vmcs12_sync.From all the above, it seems that we could have just removed
the usage of KVM_STATE_NESTED_EVMCS. However, in order to preserve
backwards migration compatibility, we cannot do that.
(vmx_get_nested_state() needs to signal flag when migrating from
new kernel to old kernel).Returning KVM_STATE_NESTED_EVMCS when just vCPU have eVMCS enabled
have a bad side-effect of userspace VMM having to send nested-state
from source to destination as part of migration stream. Even if
guest have never used eVMCS as it doesn't even run a nested
hypervisor workload. This requires destination userspace VMM and
KVM to support setting nested-state. Which make it more difficult
to migrate from new host to older host.
To avoid this, change KVM_STATE_NESTED_EVMCS to signal eVMCS is
not only enabled but also active. i.e. Guest have made some
eVMCS active via an enlightened VMEntry. i.e. vmcs12 is copied
from eVMCS and therefore should be restored into eVMCS resident
in memory (by copy_vmcs12_to_enlightened()).Reviewed-by: Vitaly Kuznetsov

Make sure that both variants of the nasty TF-in-compat-syscall are
exercised regardless of what vendor's CPU is running the tests.Also change the intentional signal after SYSCALL to use ud2, which
is a lot more comprehensible.This crashes the kernel due to an FSGSBASE bug right now.
This test *also* detects a bug in KVM when run on an Intel host. KVM
people, feel free to use it to help debug. There's a bunch of code in this
test to warn instead of going into an infinite looping when the bug gets
triggered.Reported-by: Vegard Nossum

Herbert Xu recently reported a problem concerning RCU and compiler
barriers. In the course of discussing the problem, he put forth a
litmus test which illustrated a serious defect in the Linux Kernel
Memory Model's data-race-detection code [1].The defect was that the LKMM assumed visibility and executes-before
ordering of plain accesses had to be mediated by marked accesses. In
Herbert's litmus test this wasn't so, and the LKMM claimed the litmus
test was allowed and contained a data race although neither is true.In fact, plain accesses can be ordered by fences even in the absence
of marked accesses. In most cases this doesn't matter, because most
fences only order accesses within a single thread. But the rcu-fence
relation is different; it can order (and induce visibility between)
accesses in different threads -- events which otherwise might be
concurrent. This makes it relevant to data-race detection.This patch makes two changes to the memory model to incorporate the
new insight:If a store is separated by a fence from another access,
the store is necessarily visible to the other access (as
reflected in the ww-vis and wr-vis relations). Similarly,
if a load is separated by a fence from another access then
the load necessarily executes before the other access (as
reflected in the rw-xbstar relation).If a store is separated by a strong fence from a marked access
then it is necessarily visible to any access that executes
after the marked access (as reflected in the ww-vis and wr-vis
relations).With these changes, the LKMM gives the desired result for Herbert's
litmus test and other related ones [2].[1] https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/Pine.LNX.4.44L0.1906041026570.1731-100000@iolanthe.rowland.org/

PTI has a significant impact on precision of the MONOTONIC_RAW clock,
which prevents a lot of computers from running the freq-step test.
Increase the maximum acceptable precision for the test to not be skipped
to 500 nanoseconds.After commit 78b98e3c5a66 ("timekeeping/ntp: Determine the multiplier
directly from NTP tick length") the frequency and time errors should be
much smaller. Reduce the maximum acceptable values for the test to pass
to 0.02 ppm and 50 nanoseconds respectively.Signed-off-by: Miroslav Lichvar

The rcu-fence relation in the Linux Kernel Memory Model is not well
named. It doesn't act like any other fence relation, in that it does
not relate events before a fence to events after that fence. All it
does is relate certain RCU events to one another (those that are
ordered by the RCU Guarantee); this induces an actual
strong-fence-like relation linking events preceding the first RCU
event to those following the second.This patch renames rcu-fence, now called rcu-order. It adds a new
definition of rcu-fence, something which should have been present all
along because it is used in the rb relation. And it modifies the
fence and strong-fence relations by making them incorporate the new
rcu-fence.As a result of this change, there is no longer any need to define
full-fence in the section for detecting data races. It can simply be
replaced by the updated strong-fence relation.This change should have no effect on the operation of the memory model.

Commit 66be4e66a7f4 ("rcu: locking and unlocking need to always be at
least barriers") added compiler barriers back into rcu_read_lock() and
rcu_read_unlock(). Furthermore, srcu_read_lock() and
srcu_read_unlock() have always contained compiler barriers.The Linux Kernel Memory Model ought to know about these barriers.
This patch adds them into the memory model.Signed-off-by: Alan Stern

Pull still more SPDX updates from Greg KH:
"Another round of SPDX updates for 5.2-rc6Here is what I am guessing is going to be the last "big" SPDX update
for 5.2. It contains all of the remaining GPLv2 and GPLv2+ updates
that were "easy" to determine by pattern matching. The ones after this
are going to be a bit more difficult and the people on the spdx list
will be discussing them on a case-by-case basis now.Another 5000+ files are fixed up, so our overall totals are:
Files checked: 64545
Files with SPDX: 45529Compared to the 5.1 kernel which was:
Files checked: 63848
Files with SPDX: 22576This is a huge improvement.
Also, we deleted another 20000 lines of boilerplate license crud,

Pull kvm fixes from Paolo Bonzini:
"Fixes for ARM and x86, plus selftest patches and nicer structs for
nested state save/restore"* tag 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/virt/kvm/kvm:
KVM: nVMX: reorganize initial steps of vmx_set_nested_state
KVM: arm/arm64: Fix emulated ptimer irq injection
tests: kvm: Check for a kernel warning
kvm: tests: Sort tests in the Makefile alphabetically
KVM: x86/mmu: Allocate PAE root array when using SVM's 32-bit NPT
KVM: x86: Modify struct kvm_nested_state to have explicit fields for data
KVM: fix typo in documentation
KVM: nVMX: use correct clean fields when copying from eVMCS
KVM: arm/arm64: vgic: Fix kvm_device leak in vgic_its_destroy
KVM: arm64: Filter out invalid core register IDs in KVM_GET_REG_LIST
KVM: arm64: Implement vq_present() as a macro -
Commit 332d079735f5 ("KVM: nVMX: KVM_SET_NESTED_STATE - Tear down old EVMCS
state before setting new state", 2019-05-02) broke evmcs_test because the
eVMCS setup must be performed even if there is no VMXON region defined,
as long as the eVMCS bit is set in the assist page.While the simplest possible fix would be to add a check on
kvm_state->flags & KVM_STATE_NESTED_EVMCS in the initial "if" that
covers kvm_state->hdr.vmx.vmxon_pa == -1ull, that is quite ugly.Instead, this patch moves checks earlier in the function and
conditionalizes them on kvm_state->hdr.vmx.vmxon_pa, so that
vmx_set_nested_state always goes through vmx_leave_nested
and nested_enable_evmcs.Fixes: 332d079735f5 ("KVM: nVMX: KVM_SET_NESTED_STATE - Tear down old EVMCS state before setting new state")
