When doing an nmi backtrace of many cores, most of which are idle, the
output is a little overwhelming and very uninformative. Suppress
messages for cpus that are idling when they are interrupted and just
emit one line, "NMI backtrace for N skipped: idling at pc 0xNNN".We do this by grouping all the cpuidle code together into a new
.cpuidle.text section, and then checking the address of the interrupted
PC to see if it lies within that section.This commit suitably tags x86 and tile idle routines, and only adds in
the minimal framework for other architectures.Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1472487169-14923-5-git-send-email-cmetcalf@mellanox.com

The definition of atomic_dec_if_positive() assumes that
atomic_sub_if_positive() exists, which is only the case if
metag specific atomics are used. This results in the following
build error when trying to build metag1_defconfig.kernel/ucount.c: In function 'dec_ucount':
kernel/ucount.c:211: error:
implicit declaration of function 'atomic_sub_if_positive'Moving the definition of atomic_dec_if_positive() into the metag

The recent commit 599d0c954f91 ("mm, vmscan: move LRU lists to node"),
changed memory management code so that show_mem() is no longer safe to
call prior to setup_per_cpu_pageset(), as pgdat->per_cpu_nodestats will
still be NULL. This causes an oops on metag due to the call to
show_mem() from mem_init():node_page_state_snapshot(...) + 0x48
pgdat_reclaimable(struct pglist_data * pgdat = 0x402517a0)
show_free_areas(unsigned int filter = 0) + 0x2cc
show_mem(unsigned int filter = 0) + 0x18
mem_init()
mm_init()
start_kernel() + 0x204This wasn't a problem before with zone_reclaimable() as zone_pcp_init()
was already setting zone->pageset to &boot_pageset, via setup_arch() and
paging_init(), which happens before mm_init():zone_pcp_init(...)

really add much value to the log, so lets just drop it from mem_init().Signed-off-by: James Hogan

Pull metag architecture updates from James Hogan:
"Just a few minor fixes:- Fix another incorrect inline asm register constraint, which has
been lying quietly for 5 and a half years before finally causing
build breakage during this merge window.- Removal of duplicated KERN_INFO from Joe Perches
- Typo fixes from Andrea Gelmini"
* tag 'metag-for-v4.8' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jhogan/metag:
metag: Fix __cmpxchg_u32 asm constraint for CMP
metag: Remove duplicate KERN_ prefix
metag: Fix typos -
The LNKGET based atomic sequence in __cmpxchg_u32 has slightly incorrect
constraints for the return value which under certain circumstances can
allow an address unit register to be used as the first operand of a CMP
instruction. This isn't a valid instruction however as the encodings
only allow a data unit to be specified. This would result in an
assembler error like the following:Error: failed to assemble instruction: "CMP A0.2,D0Ar6"
Fix by changing the constraint from "=&da" (assigned, early clobbered,
data or address unit register) to "=&d" (data unit register only).The constraint for the second operand, "bd" (an op2 register where op1
is a data unit register and the instruction supports O2R) is already
correct assuming the first operand is a data unit register.Other cases of CMP in inline asm have had their constraints checked, and
appear to all be fine.Fixes: 6006c0d8ce94 ("metag: Atomics, locks and bitops")

The dma-mapping core and the implementations do not change the DMA
attributes passed by pointer. Thus the pointer can point to const data.
However the attributes do not have to be a bitfield. Instead unsigned
long will do fine:1. This is just simpler. Both in terms of reading the code and setting
attributes. Instead of initializing local attributes on the stack
and passing pointer to it to dma_set_attr(), just set the bits.2. It brings safeness and checking for const correctness because the
attributes are passed by value.Semantic patches for this change (at least most of them):

This is the third version of the patchset previously sent [1]. I have
basically only rebased it on top of 4.7-rc1 tree and dropped "dm: get
rid of superfluous gfp flags" which went through dm tree. I am sending
it now because it is tree wide and chances for conflicts are reduced
considerably when we want to target rc2. I plan to send the next step
and rename the flag and move to a better semantic later during this
release cycle so we will have a new semantic ready for 4.8 merge window
hopefully.Motivation:
While working on something unrelated I've checked the current usage of
__GFP_REPEAT in the tree. It seems that a majority of the usage is and
always has been bogus because __GFP_REPEAT has always been about costly
high order allocations while we are using it for order-0 or very small
orders very often. It seems that a big pile of them is just a
copy&paste when a code has been adopted from one arch to another.I think it makes some sense to get rid of them because they are just
making the semantic more unclear. Please note that GFP_REPEAT is
documented as* __GFP_REPEAT: Try hard to allocate the memory, but the allocation attempt
* _might_ fail. This depends upon the particular VM implementation.
while !costly requests have basically nofail semantic. So one could
reasonably expect that order-0 request with __GFP_REPEAT will not loop
for ever. This is not implemented right now though.I would like to move on with __GFP_REPEAT and define a better semantic
for it.$ git grep __GFP_REPEAT origin/master | wc -l
111
$ git grep __GFP_REPEAT | wc -l
36So we are down to the third after this patch series. The remaining
places really seem to be relying on __GFP_REPEAT due to large allocation
requests. This still needs some double checking which I will do later
after all the simple ones are sorted out.I am touching a lot of arch specific code here and I hope I got it right
but as a matter of fact I even didn't compile test for some archs as I
do not have cross compiler for them. Patches should be quite trivial to
review for stupid compile mistakes though. The tricky parts are usually
hidden by macro definitions and thats where I would appreciate help from
arch maintainers.[1] http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1461849846-27209-1-git-send-email-mhocko@kernel.org
This patch (of 19):
__GFP_REPEAT has a rather weak semantic but since it has been introduced
around 2.6.12 it has been ignored for low order allocations. Yet we
have the full kernel tree with its usage for apparently order-0
allocations. This is really confusing because __GFP_REPEAT is
explicitly documented to allow allocation failures which is a weaker
semantic than the current order-0 has (basically nofail).Let's simply drop __GFP_REPEAT from those places. This would allow to
identify place which really need allocator to retry harder and formulate
a more specific semantic for what the flag is supposed to do actually.Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1464599699-30131-2-git-send-email-mhocko@kernel.org

This patch updates/fixes all spin_unlock_wait() implementations.
The update is in semantics; where it previously was only a control
dependency, we now upgrade to a full load-acquire to match the
store-release from the spin_unlock() we waited on. This ensures that
when spin_unlock_wait() returns, we're guaranteed to observe the full
critical section we waited on.This fixes a number of spin_unlock_wait() users that (not
unreasonably) rely on this.I also fixed a number of ticket lock versions to only wait on the
current lock holder, instead of for a full unlock, as this is
sufficient.Furthermore; again for ticket locks; I added an smp_rmb() in between
the initial ticket load and the spin loop testing the current value
because I could not convince myself the address dependency is
sufficient, esp. if the loads are of different sizes.I'm more than happy to remove this smp_rmb() again if people are
certain the address dependency does indeed work as expected.Note: PPC32 will be fixed independently

The binary GCD algorithm is based on the following facts:
1. If a and b are all evens, then gcd(a,b) = 2 * gcd(a/2, b/2)
2. If a is even and b is odd, then gcd(a,b) = gcd(a/2, b)
3. If a and b are all odds, then gcd(a,b) = gcd((a-b)/2, b) = gcd((a+b)/2, b)Even on x86 machines with reasonable division hardware, the binary
algorithm runs about 25% faster (80% the execution time) than the
division-based Euclidian algorithm.On platforms like Alpha and ARMv6 where division is a function call to
emulation code, it's even more significant.There are two variants of the code here, depending on whether a fast
__ffs (find least significant set bit) instruction is available. This
allows the unpredictable branches in the bit-at-a-time shifting loop to
be eliminated.If fast __ffs is not available, the "even/odd" GCD variant is used.

Pull GPIO updates from Linus Walleij:
"This is the bulk of GPIO changes for kernel cycle v4.7:Core infrastructural changes:
- Support for natively single-ended GPIO driver stages.
This means that if the hardware has registers to configure open
drain or open source configuration, we use that rather than (as we
did before) try to emulate it by switching the line to an input to
get high impedance.This is also documented throughly in Documentation/gpio/driver.txt
for those of you who did not understand one word of what I just
wrote.- Start to do away with the unnecessarily complex and unitelligible
ARCH_REQUIRE_GPIOLIB and ARCH_WANT_OPTIONAL_GPIOLIB, another
evolutional artifact from the time when the GPIO subsystem was
unmaintained.Archs can now just select GPIOLIB and be done with it, cleanups to
arches will trickle in for the next kernel. Some minor archs ACKed
the changes immediately so these are included in this pull request.- Advancing the use of the data pointer inside the GPIO device for
storing driver data by switching the PowerPC, Super-H Unicore and
a few other subarches or subsystem drivers in ALSA SoC, Input,
serial, SSB, staging etc to use it.- The initialization now reads the input/output state of the GPIO
lines, so that each GPIO descriptor knows - if this callback is
implemented - whether the line is input or output. This also
reflects nicely in userspace "lsgpio".- It is now possible to name GPIO producer names, line names, from
the device tree. (Platform data has been supported for a while).
I bet we will get a similar mechanism for ACPI one of those days.
This makes is possible to get sensible producer names for e.g.
GPIO rails in "lsgpio" in userspace.New drivers:
- New driver for the Loongson1.
- The XLP driver now supports Broadcom Vulcan ARM64.
- The IT87 driver now supports IT8620 and IT8628.
- The PCA953X driver now supports Galileo Gen2.
Driver improvements:
- MCP23S08 was switched to use the gpiolib irqchip helpers and now
also suppors level-triggered interrupts.- 74x164 and RCAR now supports the .set_multiple() callback
- AMDPT was converted to use generic GPIO.
- TC3589x, TPS65218, SX150X, F7188X, MENZ127, VX855, WM831X, WM8994
support the new single ended callback for open drain and in some
cases open source.- Implement the .get_direction() callback for a few more drivers like
PL061, Xgene.Cleanups:
- Paul Gortmaker combed through the drivers and de-modularized those
who are not really modules.- Move the GPIO poweroff DT bindings to the power subdir where they
belong.- Rename gpio-generic.c to gpio-mmio.c, which is much more to the
point. That's what it is handling, nothing more, nothing less"* tag 'gpio-v4.7-1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/linusw/linux-gpio: (126 commits)

We will use it to count how many addresses are in the entry->ip[] array,
excluding PERF_CONTEXT_{KERNEL,USER,etc} entries, so that we can really
return the number of entries specified by the user via the relevant
sysctl, kernel.perf_event_max_contexts, or via the per event
perf_event_attr.sample_max_stack knob.This way we keep the perf_sample->ip_callchain->nr meaning, that is the
number of entries, be it real addresses or PERF_CONTEXT_ entries, while
honouring the max_stack knobs, i.e. the end result will be max_stack
entries if we have at least that many entries in a given stack trace.Cc: David Ahern

The newer renameat2 syscall provides all the functionality provided by
the renameat syscall and adds flags, so future architectures won't need
to include renameat.Therefore drop the renameat syscall from the generic syscall list unless
__ARCH_WANT_RENAMEAT is defined by the architecture's unistd.h prior to
including asm-generic/unistd.h, and adjust all architectures using the
generic syscall list to define it so that no in-tree architectures are
affected.Signed-off-by: James Hogan

The argument i of atomic_*_return() operations is given to inline asm
with the "bd" constraint, which means "An Op2 register where Op1 is a
data unit register and the instruction supports O2R", however Op1 is
constrained by "da" which allows an address unit register to be used.Fix the constraint to use "br", meaning "An Op2 register and the
instruction supports O2R", i.e. not requiring Op1 to be a data unit
register.Fixes: d6dfe2509da9 ("locking,arch,metag: Fold atomic_ops")

The default remains 127, which is good for most cases, and not even hit
most of the time, but then for some cases, as reported by Brendan, 1024+
deep frames are appearing on the radar for things like groovy, ruby.And in some workloads putting a _lower_ cap on this may make sense. One
that is per event still needs to be put in place tho.The new file is:
# cat /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_stack
127Chaging it:
# echo 256 > /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_stack
# cat /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_stack
256But as soon as there is some event using callchains we get:
# echo 512 > /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_stack
-bash: echo: write error: Device or resource busy
#Because we only allocate the callchain percpu data structures when there
is a user, which allows for changing the max easily, its just a matter
of having no callchain users at that point.Reported-and-Tested-by: Brendan Gregg

KASAN needs to know whether the allocation happens in an IRQ handler.
This lets us strip everything below the IRQ entry point to reduce the
number of unique stack traces needed to be stored.Move the definition of __irq_entry to so that the
users don't need to pull in . Also introduce the
__softirq_entry macro which is similar to __irq_entry, but puts the
corresponding functions to the .softirqentry.text section.Signed-off-by: Alexander Potapenko

2) New BPF types for per-cpu hash and arrap maps, from Alexei
Starovoitov.3) Make several TCP sysctls per-namespace, from Nikolay Borisov.
4) Allow the use of SO_REUSEPORT in order to do per-thread processing
of incoming TCP/UDP connections. The muxing can be done using a
BPF program which hashes the incoming packet. From Craig Gallek.5) Add a multiplexer for TCP streams, to provide a messaged based
interface. BPF programs can be used to determine the message
boundaries. From Tom Herbert.6) Add 802.1AE MACSEC support, from Sabrina Dubroca.
7) Avoid factorial complexity when taking down an inetdev interface
with lots of configured addresses. We were doing things like
traversing the entire address less for each address removed, and
flushing the entire netfilter conntrack table for every address as
well.8) Add and use SKB bulk free infrastructure, from Jesper Brouer.
9) Allow offloading u32 classifiers to hardware, and implement for
ixgbe, from John Fastabend.10) Allow configuring IRQ coalescing parameters on a per-queue basis,
from Kan Liang.11) Extend ethtool so that larger link mode masks can be supported.
From David Decotigny.12) Introduce devlink, which can be used to configure port link types
(ethernet vs Infiniband, etc.), port splitting, and switch device
level attributes as a whole. From Jiri Pirko.13) Hardware offload support for flower classifiers, from Amir Vadai.
14) Add "Local Checksum Offload". Basically, for a tunneled packet
the checksum of the outer header is 'constant' (because with the
checksum field filled into the inner protocol header, the payload
of the outer frame checksums to 'zero'), and we can take advantage
of that in various ways. From Edward Cree"* git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net-next: (1548 commits)
