Pull core block/IO updates from Jens Axboe: "This is the main pull request for the block layer for 4.13. Not a huge round in terms of features, but there's a lot of churn related to some core cleanups. Note this depends on the UUID tree pull request, that Christoph already sent out. This pull request contains: - A series from Christoph, unifying the error/stats codes in the block layer. We now use blk_status_t everywhere, instead of using different schemes for different places. - Also from Christoph, some cleanups around request allocation and IO scheduler interactions in blk-mq. - And yet another series from Christoph, cleaning up how we handle and do bounce buffering in the block layer. - A blk-mq debugfs series from Bart, further improving on the support we have for exporting internal information to aid debugging IO hangs or stalls. - Also from Bart, a series that cleans up the request initialization differences across types of devices. - A series from Goldwyn Rodrigues, allowing the block layer to return failure if we will block and the user asked for non-blocking. - Patch from Hannes for supporting setting loop devices block size to that of the underlying device. - Two series of patches from Javier, fixing various issues with lightnvm, particular around pblk. - A series from me, adding support for write hints. This comes with NVMe support as well, so applications can help guide data placement on flash to improve performance, latencies, and write amplification. - A series from Ming, improving and hardening blk-mq support for stopping/starting and quiescing hardware queues. - Two pull requests for NVMe updates. Nothing major on the feature side, but lots of cleanups and bug fixes. From the usual crew. - A series from Neil Brown, greatly improving the bio rescue set support.

2017-07-02parisc: Report SIGSEGV instead of SIGBUS when running out of stackHelge Deller
When a process runs out of stack the parisc kernel wrongly faults with SIGBUS instead of the expected SIGSEGV signal. This example shows how the kernel faults: do_page_fault() command='a.out' type=15 address=0xfaac2000 in libc-2.24.so[f8308000+16c000] trap #15: Data TLB miss fault, vm_start = 0xfa2c2000, vm_end = 0xfaac2000 The vma->vm_end value is the first address which does not belong to the vma, so adjust the check to include vma->vm_end to the range for which to send the SIGSEGV signal.

2017-06-30uapi/linux/a.out.h: don't use deprecated system-specific predefines.Zack Weinberg
uapi/linux/a.out.h uses a number of predefined macros that are deprecated because they're in the application namespace (e.g. '#ifdef linux' instead of '#ifdef __linux__'). This patch either corrects or just removes them if they are not applicable to Linux. The primary reason this is worth bothering to fix, considering how obsolete a.out binary support is, is that the GCC build process considers this such a severe error that it will copy the header into a private directory and change the macro names, which causes future updates to the header to be masked. This header probably doesn't get updated very often anymore, but it is the _only_ uapi header that gets this treatment, so IMHO it is worth patching just to drive that number all the way to zero.

Previously, objtool ignored functions which have the IRET instruction in them. That's because it assumed that such functions know what they're doing with respect to frame pointers. With the new "objtool 2.0" changes, it stopped ignoring such functions, and started complaining about them: arch/x86/kernel/alternative.o: warning: objtool: do_sync_core()+0x1b: unsupported instruction in callable function arch/x86/kernel/alternative.o: warning: objtool: text_poke()+0x1a8: unsupported instruction in callable function arch/x86/kernel/ftrace.o: warning: objtool: do_sync_core()+0x16: unsupported instruction in callable function arch/x86/kernel/cpu/mcheck/mce.o: warning: objtool: machine_check_poll()+0x166: unsupported instruction in callable function arch/x86/kernel/cpu/mcheck/mce.o: warning: objtool: do_machine_check()+0x147: unsupported instruction in callable function Silence those warnings for now.

When a read is directed to the cache, we risk that the lba has been updated during the time we made the L2P table lookup and the time we are actually reading form the cache. We intentionally not hold the L2P lock not to block other threads. While strict ordering is not a guarantee at this level (unless REQ_FLUSH has been previously issued), we have experience that some databases that have recently implemented direct I/O support, issue metadata reads very close to the writes, without issuing a fsync in the middle. An easy way to support them while they is to make an extra effort and check the L2P map right before reading the cache.
