The non-compat codepaths for sys_...msg() verify that MSG_CMSG_COMPAT
is not set. By moving this check to the __sys_...msg() functions
(and making it dependent on a static flag passed to this function), we
can call the __sys...msg() functions instead of the syscall functions
in all cases. __sys_recvmmsg() does not need this trickery, as the
check is handled within the do_sys_recvmmsg() function internal to
net/socket.c.

sys_futex() is a wrapper to do_futex() which does not modify any
values here:
- uaddr, val and val3 are kept the same
- op is masked with FUTEX_CMD_MASK, but is always set to FUTEX_WAKE.
Therefore, val2 is always 0.
- as utime is set to NULL, *timeout is NULL

Pull perf updates from Ingo Molnar:
"The main kernel side changes were:
- Modernize the kprobe and uprobe creation/destruction tooling ABIs:
The existing text based APIs (kprobe_events and uprobe_events in
tracefs), are naive, limited ABIs in that they require user-space
to clean up after themselves, which is both difficult and fragile
if the tool is buggy or exits unexpectedly. In other words they are
not really suited for modern, robust tooling.
So introduce a modern, file descriptor based ABI that does not have
these limitations: introduce the 'perf_kprobe' and 'perf_uprobe'
PMUs and extend the perf_event_open() syscall to create events with
a kprobe/uprobe attached to them. These [k,u]probe are associated
with this file descriptor, so they are not available in tracefs.
(Song Liu)
- Intel Cannon Lake CPU support (Harry Pan)
- Intel PT cleanups (Alexander Shishkin)
- Improve the performance of pinned/flexible event groups by using RB
trees (Alexey Budankov)
- Add PERF_EVENT_IOC_MODIFY_ATTRIBUTES which allows the modification
of hardware breakpoints, which new ABI variant massively speeds up
existing tooling that uses hardware breakpoints to instrument (and
debug) memory usage.
(Milind Chabbi, Jiri Olsa)
- Various Intel PEBS handling fixes and improvements, and other Intel
PMU improvements (Kan Liang)
- Various perf core improvements and optimizations (Peter Zijlstra)
- ... misc cleanups, fixes and updates.
There's over 200 tooling commits, here's an (imperfect) list of
highlights:
- 'perf annotate' improvements:
* Recognize and handle jumps to other functions as calls, which
improves the navigation along jumps and back. (Arnaldo Carvalho
de Melo)
* Add the 'P' hotkey in TUI annotation to dump annotation output
into a file, to ease e-mail reporting of annotation details.
(Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
* Add an IPC/cycles column to the TUI (Jin Yao)

Pull locking updates from Ingo Molnar:
"The main changes in the locking subsystem in this cycle were:
- Add the Linux Kernel Memory Consistency Model (LKMM) subsystem,
which is an an array of tools in tools/memory-model/ that formally
describe the Linux memory coherency model (a.k.a.
Documentation/memory-barriers.txt), and also produce 'litmus tests'
in form of kernel code which can be directly executed and tested.
Here's a high level background article about an earlier version of
this work on LWN.net:
https://lwn.net/Articles/718628/
The design principles:
"There is reason to believe that Documentation/memory-barriers.txt
could use some help, and a major purpose of this patch is to
provide that help in the form of a design-time tool that can
produce all valid executions of a small fragment of concurrent
Linux-kernel code, which is called a "litmus test". This tool's
functionality is roughly similar to a full state-space search.
Please note that this is a design-time tool, not useful for
regression testing. However, we hope that the underlying
Linux-kernel memory model will be incorporated into other tools
capable of analyzing large bodies of code for regression-testing
purposes."
[...]
"A second tool is klitmus7, which converts litmus tests to
loadable kernel modules for direct testing. As with herd7, the
klitmus7 code is freely available from
http://diy.inria.fr/sources/index.html
(and via "git" at https://github.com/herd/herdtools7)"
[...]
Credits go to:
"This patch was the result of a most excellent collaboration
founded by Jade Alglave and also including Alan Stern, Andrea
Parri, and Luc Maranget."

primitives and improved the understanding and the documentation of
the Linux memory model all around.

Pull RCU updates from Ingo Molnar:
"The main RCU subsystem changes in this cycle were:
- Miscellaneous fixes, perhaps most notably removing obsolete code
whose only purpose in life was to gather information for the
now-removed RCU debugfs facility. Other notable changes include
removing NO_HZ_FULL_ALL in favor of the nohz_full kernel boot
parameter, minor optimizations for expedited grace periods, some
added tracing, creating an RCU-specific workqueue using Tejun's new
WQ_MEM_RECLAIM flag, and several cleanups to code and comments.
- SRCU cleanups and optimizations.
- Torture-test updates, perhaps most notably the adding of ARMv8
support, but also including numerous cleanups and usability fixes"
