The commit 7a654172161c ("mtd/ifc: Add support for IFC controller
version 2.0") added support for version 2.0 of the IFC controller.
The version 2.0 controller has the ECC status registers at a different
location to the previous versions.
Correct the fsl_ifc_nand structure so that the ECC status can be read
from the correct location for both version 1.0 and 2.0 of the controller.

A previous change to fix checks for NL80211_MESHCONF_HT_OPMODE
missed setting the flag when replacing FILL_IN_MESH_PARAM_IF_SET
with checking codes. This results in dropping the received HT
operation value when called by nl80211_update_mesh_config(). Fix
this by setting the flag properly.

The function ieee80211_ie_split_vendor doesn't return 0 on errors. Instead
it returns any offset < ielen when WLAN_EID_VENDOR_SPECIFIC is found. The
return value in mesh_add_vendor_ies must therefore be checked against
ifmsh->ie_len and not 0. Otherwise all ifmsh->ie starting with
WLAN_EID_VENDOR_SPECIFIC will be rejected.

The skcipher could have been of the async variant which may return from
skcipher_encrypt() with -EINPROGRESS after having queued the request.
The FILS AEAD implementation here does not have code for dealing with
that possibility, so allocate a sync cipher explicitly to avoid
potential issues with hardware accelerators.
This is based on the patch sent out by Ard.

Incorrect num_elem parameter value (1 vs. 5) was used in the
aes_siv_encrypt() call. This resulted in only the first one of the five
AAD vectors to SIV getting included in calculation. This does not
protect all the contents correctly and would not interoperate with a
standard compliant implementation.
Fix this by using the correct number. A matching fix is needed in the AP
side (hostapd) to get FILS authentication working properly.

Andrey Konovalov reported out of bound accesses in ip6gre_err()
If GRE flags contains GRE_KEY, the following expression
*(((__be32 *)p) + (grehlen / 4) - 1)
accesses data ~40 bytes after the expected point, since
grehlen includes the size of IPv6 headers.
Let's use a "struct gre_base_hdr *greh" pointer to make this
code more readable.
p[1] becomes greh->protocol.
grhlen is the GRE header length.

On a large SMP system with many CPUs, the global pool_lock may become
a performance bottleneck as all the CPUs that need to allocate or
free debug objects have to take the lock. That can sometimes cause
soft lockups like:

To reduce the amount of contention on the pool_lock, the actual
kmem_cache_free() of the debug objects will be delayed if the pool_lock
is busy. This will temporarily increase the amount of free objects
available at the free pool when the system is busy. As a result,
the number of kmem_cache allocation and freeing is reduced.
To further reduce the lock operations free debug objects in batches of
four.

After:
a33d331761bc ("x86/CPU/AMD: Fix Bulldozer topology")
our SMT scheduling topology for Fam17h systems is broken, because
the ThreadId is included in the ApicId when SMT is enabled.
So, without further decoding cpu_core_id is unique for each thread
rather than the same for threads on the same core. This didn't affect
systems with SMT disabled. Make cpu_core_id be what it is defined to be.

Commit:
a33d331761bc ("x86/CPU/AMD: Fix Bulldozer topology")
restored the initial approach we had with the Fam15h topology of
enumerating CU (Compute Unit) threads as cores. And this is still
correct - they're beefier than HT threads but still have some
shared functionality.
Our current approach has a problem with the Mad Max Steam game, for
example. Yves Dionne reported a certain "choppiness" while playing on
v4.9.5.
That problem stems most likely from the fact that the CU threads share
resources within one CU and when we schedule to a thread of a different
compute unit, this incurs latency due to migrating the working set to a
different CU through the caches.
When the thread siblings mask mirrors that aspect of the CUs and
threads, the scheduler pays attention to it and tries to schedule within
one CU first. Which takes care of the latency, of course.

On a large SMP systems with hundreds of CPUs, the current thresholds
for allocating and freeing debug objects (256 and 1024 respectively)
may not work well. This can cause a lot of needless calls to
kmem_aloc() and kmem_free() on those systems.
To alleviate this thrashing problem, the object freeing threshold
is now increased to "1024 + # of CPUs * 32". Whereas the object
allocation threshold is increased to "256 + # of CPUs * 4". That
should make the debug objects subsystem scale better with the number
of CPUs available in the system.

New debugfs stat counters are added to track the numbers of
kmem_cache_alloc() and kmem_cache_free() function calls to get a
sense of how the internal debug objects cache management is performing.

It was observed that on an Intel x86 system without the ARAT (Always
running APIC timer) feature and with fairly large number of CPUs as
well as CPUs coming in and out of intel_idle frequently, the lock
contention on the tick_broadcast_lock can become significant.
To reduce contention, the lock is put into its own cacheline and all
the cpumask_var_t variables are put into the __read_mostly section.
Running the SP benchmark of the NAS Parallel Benchmarks on a 4-socket
16-core 32-thread Nehalam system, the performance number improved
from 3353.94 Mop/s to 3469.31 Mop/s when this patch was applied on
a 4.9.6 kernel. This is a 3.4% improvement.

Enable ring 3 MONITOR/MWAIT for Intel Xeon Phi x200 codenamed Knights
Landing.
Presence of this feature cannot be detected automatically (by reading any
other MSR) therefore it is required to explicitly check for the family and
model of the CPU before attempting to enable it.
