git://git.infradead.org/linux-platform-drivers-x86 Pull x86 platform driver updates from Andy Shevchenko: "Here is the collected material against Platform Drivers x86 subsystem. It's rather bit busy cycle for PDx86, mostly due to Dell SMBIOS driver activity For this cycle we have quite an update for the Dell SMBIOS driver including WMI work to provide an interface for SMBIOS tokens via sysfs and WMI support for 2017+ Dell laptop models. SMM dispatcher code is split into a separate driver followed by a new WMI dispatcher. The latter provides a character device interface to user space. The git history also contains a merge of immutable branch from Wolfram Sang in order to apply a dependent fix to the Intel CherryTrail Battery Management driver. Other Intel drivers got a lot of cleanups. The Turbo Boost Max 3.0 support is added for Intel Skylake. Peaq WMI hotkeys driver gets its own maintainer and white list of supported models.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/powerpc/linux Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman: "A bit of a small release, I suspect in part due to me travelling for KS. But my backlog of patches to review is smaller than usual, so I think in part folks just didn't send as much this cycle. Non-highlights: - Five fixes for the >128T address space handling, both to fix bugs in our implementation and to bring the semantics exactly into line with x86. Highlights: - Support for a new OPAL call on bare metal machines which gives us a true NMI (ie. is not masked by MSR[EE]=0) for debugging etc. - Support for Power9 DD2 in the CXL driver. - Improvements to machine check handling so that uncorrectable errors can be reported into the generic memory_failure() machinery. - Some fixes and improvements for VPHN, which is used under PowerVM to notify the Linux partition of topology changes. - Plumbing to enable TM (transactional memory) without suspend on some Power9 processors (PPC_FEATURE2_HTM_NO_SUSPEND). - Support for emulating vector loads form cache-inhibited memory, on some Power9 revisions. - Disable the fast-endian switch "syscall" by default (behind a CONFIG), we believe it has never had any users. - A major rework of the API drivers use when initiating and waiting for long running operations performed by OPAL firmware, and changes to the powernv_flash driver to use the new API. - Several fixes for the handling of FP/VMX/VSX while processes are using transactional memory. - Optimisations of TLB range flushes when using the radix MMU on Power9. - Improvements to the VAS facility used to access coprocessors on Power9, and related improvements to the way the NX crypto driver handles requests. - Implementation of PMEM_API and UACCESS_FLUSHCACHE for 64-bit.

2017-11-02irqchip/gic: Deal with broken firmware exposing only 4kB of GICv2 CPU interfaceMarc Zyngier
There is a lot of broken firmware out there that don't really expose the information the kernel requires when it comes with dealing with GICv2: (1) Firmware that only describes the first 4kB of GICv2 (2) Firmware that describe 128kB of CPU interface, while the usable portion of the address space is between 60 and 68kB So far, we only deal with (2). But we have platforms exhibiting behaviour (1), resulting in two sub-cases: (a) The GIC is occupying 8kB, as required by the GICv2 architecture (b) It is actually spread 128kB, and this is likely to be a version of (2) This patch tries to work around both (a) and (b) by poking at the outside of the described memory region, and try to work out what is actually there. This is of course unsafe, and should only be enabled if there is no way to otherwise fix the DT provided by the firmware (we provide a "irqchip.gicv2_force_probe" option to that effect). Note that for the time being, we restrict ourselves to GICv2 implementations provided by ARM, since there I have no knowledge of an alternative implementations. This could be relaxed if such an implementation comes to light on a broken platform. Reviewed-by: Christoffer Dall <cdall@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Marc Zyngier <marc.zyngier@arm.com>

2017-10-25locking/lockdep: Add a boot parameter allowing unwind in cross-release and ↵Byungchul Park
disable it by default Johan Hovold reported a heavy performance regression caused by lockdep cross-release: > Boot time (from "Linux version" to login prompt) had in fact doubled > since 4.13 where it took 17 seconds (with my current config) compared to > the 35 seconds I now see with 4.14-rc4. > > I quick bisect pointed to lockdep and specifically the following commit: > > 28a903f63ec0 ("locking/lockdep: Handle non(or multi)-acquisition > of a crosslock") > > which I've verified is the commit which doubled the boot time (compared > to 28a903f63ec0^) (added by lockdep crossrelease series [1]). Currently cross-release performs unwind on every acquisition, but that is very expensive. This patch makes unwind optional and disables it by default and only records acquire_ip. Full stack traces are sometimes required for full analysis, in which case a boot paramter, crossrelease_fullstack, can be specified. On my qemu Ubuntu machine (x86_64, 4 cores, 512M), the regression was fixed. We measure boot times with 'perf stat --null --repeat 10 $QEMU', where $QEMU launches a kernel with init=/bin/true: 1. No lockdep enabled: Performance counter stats for 'qemu_booting_time.sh bzImage' (10 runs): 2.756558155 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.09% ) 2. Lockdep enabled: Performance counter stats for 'qemu_booting_time.sh bzImage' (10 runs): 2.968710420 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.12% ) 3. Lockdep enabled + cross-release enabled: Performance counter stats for 'qemu_booting_time.sh bzImage' (10 runs): 3.153839636 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.31% ) 4. Lockdep enabled + cross-release enabled + this patch applied: Performance counter stats for 'qemu_booting_time.sh bzImage' (10 runs): 2.963669551 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.11% ) I.e. lockdep cross-release performance is now indistinguishable from vanilla lockdep.

2017-10-20powerpc/tm: Add commandline option to disable hardware transactional memoryCyril Bur
Currently the kernel relies on firmware to inform it whether or not the CPU supports HTM and as long as the kernel was built with CONFIG_PPC_TRANSACTIONAL_MEM=y then it will allow userspace to make use of the facility. There may be situations where it would be advantageous for the kernel to not allow userspace to use HTM, currently the only way to achieve this is to recompile the kernel with CONFIG_PPC_TRANSACTIONAL_MEM=n. This patch adds a simple commandline option so that HTM can be disabled at boot time.

2017-10-18s390: introduce CPU alternativesVasily Gorbik
Implement CPU alternatives, which allows to optionally patch newer instructions at runtime, based on CPU facilities availability. A new kernel boot parameter "noaltinstr" disables patching. Current implementation is derived from x86 alternatives. Although ideal instructions padding (when altinstr is longer then oldinstr) is added at compile time, and no oldinstr nops optimization has to be done at runtime. Also couple of compile time sanity checks are done: 1. oldinstr and altinstr must be <= 254 bytes long, 2. oldinstr and altinstr must not have an odd length. alternative(oldinstr, altinstr, facility); alternative_2(oldinstr, altinstr1, facility1, altinstr2, facility2); Both compile time and runtime padding consists of either 6/4/2 bytes nop or a jump (brcl) + 2 bytes nop filler if padding is longer then 6 bytes. .altinstructions and .altinstr_replacement sections are part of __init_begin : __init_end region and are freed after initialization.

2017-10-02net: Add support for networking over Thunderbolt cableAmir Levy
ThunderboltIP is a protocol created by Apple to tunnel IP/ethernet traffic over a Thunderbolt cable. The protocol consists of configuration phase where each side sends ThunderboltIP login packets (the protocol is determined by UUID in the XDomain packet header) over the configuration channel. Once both sides get positive acknowledgment to their login packet, they configure high-speed DMA path accordingly. This DMA path is then used to transmit and receive networking traffic. This patch creates a virtual ethernet interface the host software can use in the same way as any other networking interface. Once the interface is brought up successfully network packets get tunneled over the Thunderbolt cable to the remote host and back. The connection is terminated by sending a ThunderboltIP logout packet over the configuration channel. We do this when the network interface is brought down by user or the driver is unloaded.

2017-09-20platform/x86: Add driver to force WMI Thunderbolt controller power statusMario Limonciello
Current implementations of Intel Thunderbolt controllers will go into a low power mode when not in use. Many machines containing these controllers also have a GPIO wired up that can force the controller awake. This is offered via a ACPI-WMI interface intended to be manipulated by a userspace utility. This mechanism is provided by Intel to OEMs to include in BIOS. It uses an industry wide GUID that is populated in a separate _WDG entry with no binary MOF. This interface allows software such as fwupd to wake up thunderbolt controllers to query the firmware version or flash new firmware.

2017-09-19drm: handle override and firmware EDID at drm_do_get_edid() levelJani Nikula
Handle debugfs override edid and firmware edid at the low level to transparently and completely replace the real edid. Previously, we practically only used the modes from the override EDID, and none of the other data, such as audio parameters. This change also prevents actual EDID reads when the EDID is to be overridden, but retains the DDC probe. This is useful if the reason for preferring override EDID are problems with reading the data, or corruption of the data. Move firmware EDID loading from helper to core, as the functionality moves to lower level as well. This will result in a change of module parameter from drm_kms_helper.edid_firmware to drm.edid_firmware, which arguably makes more sense anyway. Some future work remains related to override and firmware EDID validation. Like before, no validation is done for override EDID. The firmware EDID is validated separately in the loader. Some unification and deduplication would be in order, to validate all of them at the drm_do_get_edid() level, like "real" EDIDs. v2: move firmware loading to core v3: rebase, commit message refresh Cc: Abdiel Janulgue <abdiel.janulgue@linux.intel.com> Cc: Daniel Vetter <daniel.vetter@ffwll.ch> Cc: Ville Syrjälä <ville.syrjala@linux.intel.com> Tested-by: Abdiel Janulgue <abdiel.janulgue@linux.intel.com> Reviewed-by: Ville Syrjälä <ville.syrjala@linux.intel.com> Acked-by: Dave Airlie <airlied@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Jani Nikula <jani.nikula@intel.com> Link: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/msgid/1e8a710bcac46e5136c1a7b430074893c81f364a.1505203831.git.jani.nikula@intel.com

2017-09-06mm, page_alloc: rip out ZONELIST_ORDER_ZONEMichal Hocko
Patch series "cleanup zonelists initialization", v1. This is aimed at cleaning up the zonelists initialization code we have but the primary motivation was bug report [2] which got resolved but the usage of stop_machine is just too ugly to live. Most patches are straightforward but 3 of them need a special consideration. Patch 1 removes zone ordered zonelists completely. I am CCing linux-api because this is a user visible change. As I argue in the patch description I do not think we have a strong usecase for it these days. I have kept sysctl in place and warn into the log if somebody tries to configure zone lists ordering. If somebody has a real usecase for it we can revert this patch but I do not expect anybody will actually notice runtime differences. This patch is not strictly needed for the rest but it made patch 6 easier to implement. Patch 7 removes stop_machine from build_all_zonelists without adding any special synchronization between iterators and updater which I _believe_ is acceptable as explained in the changelog. I hope I am not missing anything. Patch 8 then removes zonelists_mutex which is kind of ugly as well and not really needed AFAICS but a care should be taken when double checking my thinking. This patch (of 9): Supporting zone ordered zonelists costs us just a lot of code while the usefulness is arguable if existent at all. Mel has already made node ordering default on 64b systems. 32b systems are still using ZONELIST_ORDER_ZONE because it is considered better to fallback to a different NUMA node rather than consume precious lowmem zones. This argument is, however, weaken by the fact that the memory reclaim has been reworked to be node rather than zone oriented. This means that lowmem requests have to skip over all highmem pages on LRUs already and so zone ordering doesn't save the reclaim time much. So the only advantage of the zone ordering is under a light memory pressure when highmem requests do not ever hit into lowmem zones and the lowmem pressure doesn't need to reclaim. Considering that 32b NUMA systems are rather suboptimal already and it is generally advisable to use 64b kernel on such a HW I believe we should rather care about the code maintainability and just get rid of ZONELIST_ORDER_ZONE altogether. Keep systcl in place and warn if somebody tries to set zone ordering either from kernel command line or the sysctl.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm Pull power management updates from Rafael Wysocki: "This time (again) cpufreq gets the majority of changes which mostly are driver updates (including a major consolidation of intel_pstate), some schedutil governor modifications and core cleanups. There also are some changes in the system suspend area, mostly related to diagnostics and debug messages plus some renames of things related to suspend-to-idle. One major change here is that suspend-to-idle is now going to be preferred over S3 on systems where the ACPI tables indicate to do so and provide requsite support (the Low Power Idle S0 _DSM in particular). The system sleep documentation and the tools related to it are updated too. The rest is a few cpuidle changes (nothing major), devfreq updates, generic power domains (genpd) framework updates and a few assorted modifications elsewhere. Specifics: - Drop the P-state selection algorithm based on a PID controller from intel_pstate and make it use the same P-state selection method (based on the CPU load) for all types of systems in the active mode (Rafael Wysocki, Srinivas Pandruvada). - Rework the cpufreq core and governors to make it possible to take cross-CPU utilization updates into account and modify the schedutil governor to actually do so (Viresh Kumar). - Clean up the handling of transition latency information in the cpufreq core and untangle it from the information on which drivers cannot do dynamic frequency switching (Viresh Kumar). - Add support for new SoCs (MT2701/MT7623 and MT7622) to the mediatek cpufreq driver and update its DT bindings (Sean Wang). - Modify the cpufreq dt-platdev driver to autimatically create cpufreq devices for the new (v2) Operating Performance Points (OPP) DT bindings and update its whitelist of supported systems (Viresh Kumar, Shubhrajyoti Datta, Marc Gonzalez, Khiem Nguyen, Finley Xiao). - Add support for Ux500 to the cpufreq-dt driver and drop the obsolete dbx500 cpufreq driver (Linus Walleij, Arnd Bergmann). - Add new SoC (R8A7795) support to the cpufreq rcar driver (Khiem Nguyen). - Fix and clean up assorted issues in the cpufreq drivers and core (Arvind Yadav, Christophe Jaillet, Colin Ian King, Gustavo Silva, Julia Lawall, Leonard Crestez, Rob Herring, Sudeep Holla). - Update the IO-wait boost handling in the schedutil governor to make it less aggressive (Joel Fernandes). - Rework system suspend diagnostics to make it print fewer messages to the kernel log by default, add a sysfs knob to allow more suspend-related messages to be printed and add Low Power S0 Idle constraints checks to the ACPI suspend-to-idle code (Rafael Wysocki, Srinivas Pandruvada). - Prefer suspend-to-idle over S3 on ACPI-based systems with the ACPI_FADT_LOW_POWER_S0 flag set and the Low Power Idle S0 _DSM interface present in the ACPI tables (Rafael Wysocki). - Update documentation related to system sleep and rename a number of items in the code to make it cleare that they are related to suspend-to-idle (Rafael Wysocki). - Export a variable allowing device drivers to check the target system sleep state from the core system suspend code (Florian Fainelli). - Clean up the cpuidle subsystem to handle the polling state on x86 in a more straightforward way and to use %pOF instead of full_name (Rafael Wysocki, Rob Herring). - Update the devfreq framework to fix and clean up a few minor issues (Chanwoo Choi, Rob Herring). - Extend diagnostics in the generic power domains (genpd) framework and clean it up slightly (Thara Gopinath, Rob Herring). - Fix and clean up a couple of issues in the operating performance points (OPP) framework (Viresh Kumar, Waldemar Rymarkiewicz). - Add support for RV1108 to the rockchip-io Adaptive Voltage Scaling (AVS) driver (David Wu). - Fix the usage of notifiers in CPU power management on some platforms (Alex Shi). - Update the pm-graph system suspend/hibernation and boot profiling utility (Todd Brandt). - Make it possible to run the cpupower utility without CPU0 (Prarit Bhargava)" * tag 'pm-4.14-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm: (87 commits) cpuidle: Make drivers initialize polling state cpuidle: Move polling state initialization code to separate file cpuidle: Eliminate the CPUIDLE_DRIVER_STATE_START symbol cpufreq: imx6q: Fix imx6sx low frequency support cpufreq: speedstep-lib: make several arrays static, makes code smaller PM: docs: Delete the obsolete states.txt document PM: docs: Describe high-level PM strategies and sleep states PM / devfreq: Fix memory leak when fail to register device PM / devfreq: Add dependency on PM_OPP PM / devfreq: Move private devfreq_update_stats() into devfreq PM / devfreq: Convert to using %pOF instead of full_name PM / AVS: rockchip-io: add io selectors and supplies for RV1108 cpufreq: ti: Fix 'of_node_put' being called twice in error handling path cpufreq: dt-platdev: Drop few entries from whitelist cpufreq: dt-platdev: Automatically create cpufreq device with OPP v2 ARM: ux500: don't select CPUFREQ_DT cpuidle: Convert to using %pOF instead of full_name cpufreq: Convert to using %pOF instead of full_name PM / Domains: Convert to using %pOF instead of full_name cpufreq: Cap the default transition delay value to 10 ms ...

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip Pull x86 mm changes from Ingo Molnar: "PCID support, 5-level paging support, Secure Memory Encryption support The main changes in this cycle are support for three new, complex hardware features of x86 CPUs: - Add 5-level paging support, which is a new hardware feature on upcoming Intel CPUs allowing up to 128 PB of virtual address space and 4 PB of physical RAM space - a 512-fold increase over the old limits. (Supercomputers of the future forecasting hurricanes on an ever warming planet can certainly make good use of more RAM.) Many of the necessary changes went upstream in previous cycles, v4.14 is the first kernel that can enable 5-level paging. This feature is activated via CONFIG_X86_5LEVEL=y - disabled by default. (By Kirill A. Shutemov) - Add 'encrypted memory' support, which is a new hardware feature on upcoming AMD CPUs ('Secure Memory Encryption', SME) allowing system RAM to be encrypted and decrypted (mostly) transparently by the CPU, with a little help from the kernel to transition to/from encrypted RAM. Such RAM should be more secure against various attacks like RAM access via the memory bus and should make the radio signature of memory bus traffic harder to intercept (and decrypt) as well. This feature is activated via CONFIG_AMD_MEM_ENCRYPT=y - disabled by default. (By Tom Lendacky) - Enable PCID optimized TLB flushing on newer Intel CPUs: PCID is a hardware feature that attaches an address space tag to TLB entries and thus allows to skip TLB flushing in many cases, even if we switch mm's.
