Pull char/misc update part 2 from Greg KH:
"Here is the "real" big set of char/misc driver patches for 5.2-rc1
Loads of different driver subsystem stuff in here, all over the places:

- extcon driver updates
- intel_th driver updates
- mei driver updates
- coresight driver updates

Feels like this tree is getting to be a dumping ground of "small

things easier for those subsystem maintainers.
All of these have been in linux-next for a while with no reported

Many nvmem providers are not very keen on having default sysfs
nvmem entry, as most of the usecases for them are inside kernel
itself. And in some cases read/writes to some areas in nvmem are
restricted and trapped at secure monitor level, so accessing them
from userspace would result in board reboots.
This patch adds new NVMEM_SYSFS Kconfig to make binary sysfs entry
an optional one. This provision will give more flexibility to users.
This patch also moves existing sysfs code to a new file so that its
not compiled in when its not really required.

System memory may have caches to help improve access speed to frequently
requested address ranges. While the system provided cache is transparent
to the software accessing these memory ranges, applications can optimize
their own access based on cache attributes.
Provide a new API for the kernel to register these memory-side caches
under the memory node that provides it.
The new sysfs representation is modeled from the existing cpu cacheinfo
attributes, as seen from /sys/devices/system/cpu/<cpu>/cache/. Unlike CPU
cacheinfo though, the node cache level is reported from the view of the
memory. A higher level number is nearer to the CPU, while lower levels
are closer to the last level memory.
The exported attributes are the cache size, the line size, associativity
indexing, and write back policy, and add the attributes for the system
memory caches to sysfs stable documentation.

Heterogeneous memory systems provide memory nodes with different latency
and bandwidth performance attributes. Provide a new kernel interface
for subsystems to register the attributes under the memory target
node's initiator access class. If the system provides this information,
applications may query these attributes when deciding which node to
request memory.
The following example shows the new sysfs hierarchy for a node exporting
performance attributes:
# tree -P "read*|write*"/sys/devices/system/node/nodeY/accessZ/initiators/
/sys/devices/system/node/nodeY/accessZ/initiators/
|-- read_bandwidth
|-- read_latency
|-- write_bandwidth
`-- write_latency
The bandwidth is exported as MB/s and latency is reported in
nanoseconds. The values are taken from the platform as reported by the
manufacturer.
Memory accesses from an initiator node that is not one of the memory's
access "Z" initiator nodes linked in the same directory may observe
different performance than reported here. When a subsystem makes use
of this interface, initiators of a different access number may not have
the same performance relative to initiators in other access numbers, or
omitted from the any access class' initiators.
Descriptions for memory access initiator performance access attributes
are added to sysfs stable documentation.

Systems may be constructed with various specialized nodes. Some nodes
may provide memory, some provide compute devices that access and use
that memory, and others may provide both. Nodes that provide memory are
referred to as memory targets, and nodes that can initiate memory access
are referred to as memory initiators.
Memory targets will often have varying access characteristics from
different initiators, and platforms may have ways to express those
relationships. In preparation for these systems, provide interfaces for
the kernel to export the memory relationship among different nodes memory
targets and their initiators with symlinks to each other.
If a system provides access locality for each initiator-target pair, nodes
may be grouped into ranked access classes relative to other nodes. The
new interface allows a subsystem to register relationships of varying
classes if available and desired to be exported.
A memory initiator may have multiple memory targets in the same access
class. The target memory's initiators in a given class indicate the
nodes access characteristics share the same performance relative to other
linked initiator nodes. Each target within an initiator's access class,
though, do not necessarily perform the same as each other.
A memory target node may have multiple memory initiators. All linked
initiators in a target's class have the same access characteristics to
that target.
The following example show the nodes' new sysfs hierarchy for a memory
target node 'Y' with access class 0 from initiator node 'X':
# symlinks -v /sys/devices/system/node/nodeX/access0/
relative: /sys/devices/system/node/nodeX/access0/targets/nodeY -> ../../nodeY
# symlinks -v /sys/devices/system/node/nodeY/access0/
relative: /sys/devices/system/node/nodeY/access0/initiators/nodeX -> ../../nodeX
The new attributes are added to the sysfs stable documentation.

There are two methods for signaling the host: the monitor page mechanism
and hypercalls. The monitor page mechanism is used by performance
critical channels (storage, networking, etc.) because it provides
improved throughput. However, latency is increased. Monitor pages are
allocated to these channels.
Monitor pages are not allocated to channels that do not use the monitor
page mechanism. Therefore, these channels do not have a valid monitor id
or valid monitor page data. In these cases, some of the "_show"
functions return incorrect data. They return an invalid monitor id and
data that is beyond the bounds of the hv_monitor_page array fields.
The "channel->offermsg.monitor_allocated" value can be used to determine
whether monitor pages have been allocated to a channel.
Add "is_visible()" callback functions for the device-level and
channel-level attribute groups. These functions will hide the monitor
sysfs files when the monitor mechanism is not used.
Remove ".default_attributes" from "vmbus_chan_attrs" and create a
channel-level attribute group. These changes allow the new
"is_visible()" callback function to be applied to the channel-level
attributes.
Call "sysfs_create_group()" in "vmbus_add_channel_kobj()" to create the
channel's sysfs files. Add a new function,
“vmbus_remove_channel_attr_group()”, and call it in "free_channel()" to
remove the channel's sysfs files when the channel is closed.

1. Exopsing counters for state changes of channel ring buffers; this is
useful to investigate performance issues. By Kimberly Brown.

* tag 'hyperv-next-signed' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/hyperv/linux:
Drivers: hv: vmbus: Expose counters for interrupts and full conditions
vmbus: Switch to use new generic UUID API
|
|
Counter values for per-channel interrupts and ring buffer full
conditions are useful for investigating performance.
Expose counters in sysfs for 2 types of guest to host interrupts:
1) Interrupts caused by the channel's outbound ring buffer transitioning
from empty to not empty
2) Interrupts caused by the channel's inbound ring buffer transitioning
from full to not full while a packet is waiting for enough buffer space to
become available
Expose 2 counters in sysfs for the number of times that write operations
encountered a full outbound ring buffer:
1) The total number of write operations that encountered a full
condition
2) The number of write operations that were the first to encounter a
full condition
Increment the outbound full condition counters in the
hv_ringbuffer_write() function because, for most drivers, a full
outbound ring buffer is detected in that function. Also increment the
outbound full condition counters in the set_channel_pending_send_size()
function. In the hv_sock driver, a full outbound ring buffer is detected
and set_channel_pending_send_size() is called before
hv_ringbuffer_write() is called.
I tested this patch by confirming that the sysfs files were created and
observing the counter values. The values seemed to increase by a
reasonable amount when the Hyper-v related drivers were in use.

Scrubbing pages on initial balloon down can take some time, especially
in nested virtualization case (nested EPT is slow). When HVM/PVH guest is
started with memory= significantly lower than maxmem=, all the extra
pages will be scrubbed before returning to Xen. But since most of them
weren't used at all at that point, Xen needs to populate them first
(from populate-on-demand pool). In nested virt case (Xen inside KVM)
this slows down the guest boot by 15-30s with just 1.5GB needed to be
returned to Xen.
Add runtime parameter to enable/disable it, to allow initially disabling
scrubbing, then enable it back during boot (for example in initramfs).
Such usage relies on assumption that a) most pages ballooned out during
initial boot weren't used at all, and b) even if they were, very few
secrets are in the guest at that time (before any serious userspace
kicks in).
Convert CONFIG_XEN_SCRUB_PAGES to CONFIG_XEN_SCRUB_PAGES_DEFAULT (also
enabled by default), controlling default value for the new runtime
switch.

Several documents in Documentation/vm fit quite well into the "admin/user

implementation details and provide coherent description of certain feature
can be moved to Documentation/admin-guide/mm.

Mike Rapoport says:
These patches convert files in Documentation/vm to ReST format, add an
initial index and link it to the top level documentation.
There are no contents changes in the documentation, except few spelling
fixes. The relatively large diffstat stems from the indentation and
paragraph wrapping changes.
I've tried to keep the formatting as consistent as possible, but I could
miss some places that needed markup and add some markup where it was not
necessary.

Use sysfs to allow supporting sub-channels. The userspace application
makes request to host to create sub-channels and the UIO kernel
driver populates the sysfs per-channel directory with a binary
attribute file that can be used to read/write ring.

This extends existing vmbus related sysfs structure to provide per-channel
state information. This is useful when diagnosing issues with multiple
queues in networking and storage.
The existing sysfs only displayed information about the primary
channel. The one place it reported multiple channels was the
channel_vp_mapping file which violated the sysfs convention
of one value per file.

This change adds a driver for the 16550-based Aspeed virtual UART
device. We use a similar process to the of_serial driver for device
probe, but expose some VUART-specific functions through sysfs too.
The VUART is two UART 'front ends' connected by their FIFO (no actual
serial line in between). One is on the BMC side (management controller)
and one is on the host CPU side.
This driver is for the BMC side. The sysfs files allow the BMC
userspace, which owns the system configuration policy, to specify at
what IO port and interrupt number the host side will appear to the host
on the Host <-> BMC LPC bus. It could be different on a different system
(though most of them use 3f8/4).
OpenPOWER host firmware doesn't like it when the host-side of the
VUART's FIFO is not drained. This driver only disables host TX discard
mode when the port is in use. We set the VUART enabled bit when we bind
to the device, and clear it on unbind.
We don't want to do this on open/release, as the host may be using this
bit to configure serial output modes, which is independent of whether
the devices has been opened by BMC userspace.
