Currently, CONFIG_JUMP_LABEL just means "I _want_ to use jump label".
The jump label is controlled by HAVE_JUMP_LABEL, which is defined
like this:#if defined(CC_HAVE_ASM_GOTO) && defined(CONFIG_JUMP_LABEL)
# define HAVE_JUMP_LABEL
#endifWe can improve this by testing 'asm goto' support in Kconfig, then
make JUMP_LABEL depend on CC_HAS_ASM_GOTO.Ugly #ifdef HAVE_JUMP_LABEL will go away, and CONFIG_JUMP_LABEL will
match to the real kernel capability.Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada

Unpacking an external initrd may fail e.g. not enough memory. This
leads to an incomplete rootfs because some files might be extracted
already. Fixed by cleaning the rootfs so the kernel is not using an
incomplete rootfs.Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20181030151805.5519-1-david.engraf@sysgo.com

Pull Devicetree updates from Rob Herring:
"The biggest highlight here is the start of using json-schema for DT
bindings. Being able to validate bindings has been discussed for years
with little progress.- Initial support for DT bindings using json-schema language. This is
the start of converting DT bindings from free-form text to a
structured format.- Reworking of initrd address initialization. This moves to using the
phys address instead of virt addr in the DT parsing code. This
rework was motivated by CONFIG_DEV_BLK_INITRD causing unnecessary
rebuilding of lots of files.- Fix stale phandle entries in phandle cache
- DT overlay validation improvements. This exposed several memory
leak bugs which have been fixed.- Use node name and device_type helper functions in DT code
- Last remaining conversions to using %pOFn printk specifier instead
of device_node.name directly- Create new common RTC binding doc and move all trivial RTC devices
out of trivial-devices.txt.- New bindings for Freescale MAG3110 magnetometer, Cadence Sierra
PHY, and Xen shared memory- Update dtc to upstream version v1.4.7-57-gf267e674d145"

Pull block updates from Jens Axboe:
"This is the main pull request for block/storage for 4.21.Larger than usual, it was a busy round with lots of goodies queued up.
Most notable is the removal of the old IO stack, which has been a long
time coming. No new features for a while, everything coming in this
week has all been fixes for things that were previously merged.This contains:
- Use atomic counters instead of semaphores for mtip32xx (Arnd)
- Cleanup of the mtip32xx request setup (Christoph)
- Fix for circular locking dependency in loop (Jan, Tetsuo)
- bcache (Coly, Guoju, Shenghui)
* Optimizations for writeback caching
* Various fixes and improvements- nvme (Chaitanya, Christoph, Sagi, Jay, me, Keith)
* host and target support for NVMe over TCP
* Error log page support
* Support for separate read/write/poll queues
* Much improved polling
* discard OOM fallback
* Tracepoint improvements- lightnvm (Hans, Hua, Igor, Matias, Javier)
* Igor added packed metadata to pblk. Now drives without metadata
per LBA can be used as well.
* Fix from Geert on uninitialized value on chunk metadata reads.
* Fixes from Hans and Javier to pblk recovery and write path.
* Fix from Hua Su to fix a race condition in the pblk recovery
code.
* Scan optimization added to pblk recovery from Zhoujie.
* Small geometry cleanup from me.- Conversion of the last few drivers that used the legacy path to
blk-mq (me)- Removal of legacy IO path in SCSI (me, Christoph)
- Removal of legacy IO stack and schedulers (me)
- Support for much better polling, now without interrupts at all.
blk-mq adds support for multiple queue maps, which enables us to
have a map per type. This in turn enables nvme to have separate
completion queues for polling, which can then be interrupt-less.
Also means we're ready for async polled IO, which is hopefully
coming in the next release.- Killing of (now) unused block exports (Christoph)
- Unification of the blk-rq-qos and blk-wbt wait handling (Josef)
- Support for zoned testing with null_blk (Masato)
- sx8 conversion to per-host tag sets (Christoph)
- IO priority improvements (Damien)
- mq-deadline zoned fix (Damien)
- Ref count blkcg series (Dennis)
- Lots of blk-mq improvements and speedups (me)
- sbitmap scalability improvements (me)
- Make core inflight IO accounting per-cpu (Mikulas)
- Export timeout setting in sysfs (Weiping)
- Cleanup the direct issue path (Jianchao)
- Export blk-wbt internals in block debugfs for easier debugging
(Ming)- Lots of other fixes and improvements"

The current value of the early boot static pool size, 1024 is not big
enough for systems with large number of CPUs with timer or/and workqueue
objects selected. As the results, systems have 60+ CPUs with both timer
and workqueue objects enabled could trigger "ODEBUG: Out of memory.
ODEBUG disabled".Some debug objects are allocated during the early boot. Enabling some
options like timers or workqueue objects may increase the size required
significantly with large number of CPUs. For example,CONFIG_DEBUG_OBJECTS_TIMERS:
No. CPUs x 2 (worker pool) objects:
start_kernel
workqueue_init_early
init_worker_pool
init_timer_key
debug_object_initplus No. CPUs objects (CONFIG_HIGH_RES_TIMERS):
sched_init
hrtick_rq_init
hrtimer_initCONFIG_DEBUG_OBJECTS_WORK:
No. CPUs objects:
vmalloc_init
__init_workplus No. CPUs x 6 (workqueue) objects:
workqueue_init_early
alloc_workqueue
__alloc_workqueue_key
alloc_and_link_pwqs
init_pwqAlso, plus No. CPUs objects:
perf_event_init
__init_srcu_struct
init_srcu_struct_fields
init_srcu_struct_nodes
__init_workHowever, none of the things are actually used or required before
debug_objects_mem_init() is invoked, so just move the call right before
vmalloc_init().According to tglx, "the reason why the call is at this place in
start_kernel() is historical. It's because back in the days when
debugobjects were added the memory allocator was enabled way later than
today."Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20181126102407.1836-1-cai@gmx.us

as well as some newly created stress tests and everything looks good.Richard added a few patches, mostly cleaning up a few things and and
shortening some of the audit records that we send to userspace; a
change the userspace folks are quite happy about.Finally YueHaibing and I kick in a few patches to simplify things a

Mel Gorman reports a hackbench regression with psi that would prohibit
shipping the suse kernel with it default-enabled, but he'd still like
users to be able to opt in at little to no cost to others.With the current combination of CONFIG_PSI and the psi_disabled bool set
from the commandline, this is a challenge. Do the following things to
make it easier:1. Add a config option CONFIG_PSI_DEFAULT_DISABLED that allows distros
to enable CONFIG_PSI in their kernel but leave the feature disabled
unless a user requests it at boot-time.To avoid double negatives, rename psi_disabled= to psi=.
2. Make psi_disabled a static branch to eliminate any branch costs
when the feature is disabled.In terms of numbers before and after this patch, Mel says:

This removes a bunch of core and elevator related code. On the core
front, we remove anything related to queue running, draining,
initialization, plugging, and congestions. We also kill anything
related to request allocation, merging, retrieval, and completion.Remove any checking for single queue IO schedulers, as they no
longer exist. This means we can also delete a bunch of code related
to request issue, adding, completion, etc - and all the SQ related
ops and helpers.Also kill the load_default_modules(), as all that did was provide
for a way to load the default single queue elevator.Tested-by: Ming Lei

When a memblock allocation APIs are called with align = 0, the alignment
is implicitly set to SMP_CACHE_BYTES.Implicit alignment is done deep in the memblock allocator and it can
come as a surprise. Not that such an alignment would be wrong even
when used incorrectly but it is better to be explicit for the sake of
clarity and the prinicple of the least surprise.Replace all such uses of memblock APIs with the 'align' parameter
explicitly set to SMP_CACHE_BYTES and stop implicit alignment assignment
in the memblock internal allocation functions.For the case when memblock APIs are used via helper functions, e.g. like
iommu_arena_new_node() in Alpha, the helper functions were detected with
Coccinelle's help and then manually examined and updated where
appropriate.The direct memblock APIs users were updated using the semantic patch below:

A/B rootfs partition scheme for interruptible firmware updates
(i.e. rootfsA/ rootfsB).The partition label can be queried with the blkid command.

On a system that executes multiple cgrouped jobs and independent
workloads, we don't just care about the health of the overall system, but
also that of individual jobs, so that we can ensure individual job health,
fairness between jobs, or prioritize some jobs over others.This patch implements pressure stall tracking for cgroups. In kernels
with CONFIG_PSI=y, cgroup2 groups will have cpu.pressure, memory.pressure,
and io.pressure files that track aggregate pressure stall times for only
the tasks inside the cgroup.Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20180828172258.3185-10-hannes@cmpxchg.org

When systems are overcommitted and resources become contended, it's hard
to tell exactly the impact this has on workload productivity, or how close
the system is to lockups and OOM kills. In particular, when machines work
multiple jobs concurrently, the impact of overcommit in terms of latency
and throughput on the individual job can be enormous.In order to maximize hardware utilization without sacrificing individual
job health or risk complete machine lockups, this patch implements a way
to quantify resource pressure in the system.A kernel built with CONFIG_PSI=y creates files in /proc/pressure/ that
expose the percentage of time the system is stalled on CPU, memory, or IO,
respectively. Stall states are aggregate versions of the per-task delay
accounting delays:cpu: some tasks are runnable but not executing on a CPU
memory: tasks are reclaiming, or waiting for swapin or thrashing cache
io: tasks are waiting for io completionsThese percentages of walltime can be thought of as pressure percentages,
and they give a general sense of system health and productivity loss
incurred by resource overcommit. They can also indicate when the system
is approaching lockup scenarios and OOMs.To do this, psi keeps track of the task states associated with each CPU
and samples the time they spend in stall states. Every 2 seconds, the
samples are averaged across CPUs - weighted by the CPUs' non-idle time to
eliminate artifacts from unused CPUs - and translated into percentages of
walltime. A running average of those percentages is maintained over 10s,
1m, and 5m periods (similar to the loadaverage).[hannes@cmpxchg.org: doc fixlet, per Randy]

With CONFIG_VMAP_STACK=y the kernel stack of all tasks should be
allocated in the vmalloc space. The initial stack used for all
the early init code is in the init_thread_union. To be able to
switch from this early stack to a properly allocated stack
from vmalloc the architecture needs a switch-over point.Introduce the arch_call_rest_init() function with a weak definition
in init/main.c with the only purpose to call rest_init() from the
end of start_kernel(). The architecture override can then do the
necessary magic to switch to the new vmalloc'ed stack.Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky

Jump table entries are mostly read-only, with the exception of the
init and module loader code that defuses entries that point into init
code when the code being referred to is freed.For robustness, it would be better to move these entries into the
ro_after_init section, but clearing the 'code' member of each jump
table entry referring to init code at module load time races with the
module_enable_ro() call that remaps the ro_after_init section read
only, so we'd like to do it earlier.So given that whether such an entry refers to init code can be decided
much earlier, we can pull this check forward. Since we may still need
the code entry at this point, let's switch to setting a low bit in the
'key' member just like we do to annotate the default state of a jump
table entry.Signed-off-by: Ard Biesheuvel

The CHECKPOINT_RESTORE configuration option was introduced in 2012 and
combined with EXPERT. CHECKPOINT_RESTORE is already enabled in many
distribution kernels and also part of the defconfigs of various
architectures.To make it easier for distributions to enable CHECKPOINT_RESTORE this
removes EXPERT and moves the configuration option out of the EXPERT block.Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20180712130733.11510-1-adrian@lisas.de
