2019-03-05mm: memcontrol: expose THP events on a per-memcg basisChris Down
Currently THP allocation events data is fairly opaque, since you can only get it system-wide. This patch makes it easier to reason about transparent hugepage behaviour on a per-memcg basis. For anonymous THP-backed pages, we already have MEMCG_RSS_HUGE in v1, which is used for v1's rss_huge [sic]. This is reused here as it's fairly involved to untangle NR_ANON_THPS right now to make it per-memcg, since right now some of this is delegated to rmap before we have any memcg actually assigned to the page. It's a good idea to rework that, but let's leave untangling THP allocation for a future patch.

2019-03-05mm: convert PG_balloon to PG_offlineDavid Hildenbrand
PG_balloon was introduced to implement page migration/compaction for pages inflated in virtio-balloon. Nowadays, it is only a marker that a page is part of virtio-balloon and therefore logically offline. We also want to make use of this flag in other balloon drivers - for inflated pages or when onlining a section but keeping some pages offline (e.g. used right now by XEN and Hyper-V via set_online_page_callback()). We are going to expose this flag to dump tools like makedumpfile. But instead of exposing PG_balloon, let's generalize the concept of marking pages as logically offline, so it can be reused for other purposes later on. Rename PG_balloon to PG_offline. This is an indicator that the page is logically offline, the content stale and that it should not be touched (e.g. a hypervisor would have to allocate backing storage in order for the guest to dump an unused page). We can then e.g. exclude such pages from dumps. We replace and reuse KPF_BALLOON (23), as this shouldn't really harm (and for now the semantics stay the same). In following patches, we will make use of this bit also in other balloon drivers. While at it, document PGTABLE.

Three conflicts, one of which, for marvell10g.c is non-trivial and requires some follow-up from Heiner or someone else. The issue is that Heiner converted the marvell10g driver over to use the generic c45 code as much as possible. However, in 'net' a bug fix appeared which makes sure that a new local mask (MDIO_AN_10GBT_CTRL_ADV_NBT_MASK) with value 0x01e0 is cleared. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2019-02-22usb: core: add option of only authorizing internal devicesDmitry Torokhov
On Chrome OS we want to use USBguard to potentially limit access to USB devices based on policy. We however to do not want to wait for userspace to come up before initializing fixed USB devices to not regress our boot times. This patch adds option to instruct the kernel to only authorize devices connected to the internal ports. Previously we could either authorize all or none (or, by default, we'd only authorize wired devices). The behavior is controlled via usbcore.authorized_default command line option.

The netfilter conflicts were rather simple overlapping changes. However, the cls_tcindex.c stuff was a bit more complex. On the 'net' side, Cong is fixing several races and memory leaks. Whilst on the 'net-next' side we have Vlad adding the rtnl-ness support. What I've decided to do, in order to resolve this, is revert the conversion over to using a workqueue that Cong did, bringing us back to pure RCU. I did it this way because I believe that either Cong's races don't apply with have Vlad did things, or Cong will have to implement the race fix slightly differently. Signed-off-by: David S.

2019-02-14async: Add cmdline option to specify drivers to be async probedFeng Tang
Asynchronous driver probing can help much on kernel fastboot, and this option can provide a flexible way to optimize and quickly verify async driver probe. Also it will help in below cases: * Some driver actually covers several families of HWs, some of which could use async probing while others don't. So we can't simply turn on the PROBE_PREFER_ASYNCHRONOUS flag in driver, but use this cmdline option, like igb driver async patch discussed at https://www.spinics.net/lists/netdev/msg545986.html * For SOC (System on Chip) with multiple spi or i2c controllers, most of the slave spi/i2c devices will be assigned with fixed controller number, while async probing may make those controllers get different index for each boot, which prevents those controller drivers to be async probed. For platforms not using these spi/i2c slave devices, they can use this cmdline option to benefit from the async probing.

2019-02-04efi/x86: Convert x86 EFI earlyprintk into generic earlycon implementationArd Biesheuvel
Move the x86 EFI earlyprintk implementation to a shared location under drivers/firmware and tweak it slightly so we can expose it as an earlycon implementation (which is generic) rather than earlyprintk (which is only implemented for a few architectures) This also involves switching to write-combine mappings by default (which is required on ARM since device mappings lack memory semantics, and so memcpy/memset may not be used on them), and adding support for shared memory framebuffers on cache coherent non-x86 systems (which do not tolerate mismatched attributes). Note that 32-bit ARM does not populate its struct screen_info early enough for earlycon=efifb to work, so it is disabled there.

2019-01-30iommu/vt-d: Leave scalable mode default offLu Baolu
Commit 765b6a98c1de3 ("iommu/vt-d: Enumerate the scalable mode capability") enables VT-d scalable mode if hardware advertises the capability. As we will bring up different features and use cases to upstream in different patch series, it will leave some intermediate kernel versions which support partial features. Hence, end user might run into problems when they use such kernels on bare metals or virtualization environments. This leaves scalable mode default off and end users could turn it on with "intel-iommu=sm_on" only when they have clear ideas about which scalable features are supported in the kernel.

2019-01-16cpuidle: New timer events oriented governor for tickless systemsRafael J. Wysocki
The venerable menu governor does some things that are quite questionable in my view. First, it includes timer wakeups in the pattern detection data and mixes them up with wakeups from other sources which in some cases causes it to expect what essentially would be a timer wakeup in a time frame in which no timer wakeups are possible (because it knows the time until the next timer event and that is later than the expected wakeup time). Second, it uses the extra exit latency limit based on the predicted idle duration and depending on the number of tasks waiting on I/O, even though those tasks may run on a different CPU when they are woken up. Moreover, the time ranges used by it for the sleep length correction factors depend on whether or not there are tasks waiting on I/O, which again doesn't imply anything in particular, and they are not correlated to the list of available idle states in any way whatever. Also, the pattern detection code in menu may end up considering values that are too large to matter at all, in which cases running it is a waste of time. A major rework of the menu governor would be required to address these issues and the performance of at least some workloads (tuned specifically to the current behavior of the menu governor) is likely to suffer from that. It is thus better to introduce an entirely new governor without them and let everybody use the governor that works better with their actual workloads. The new governor introduced here, the timer events oriented (TEO) governor, uses the same basic strategy as menu: it always tries to find the deepest idle state that can be used in the given conditions. However, it applies a different approach to that problem. First, it doesn't use "correction factors" for the time till the closest timer, but instead it tries to correlate the measured idle duration values with the available idle states and use that information to pick up the idle state that is most likely to "match" the upcoming CPU idle interval. Second, it doesn't take the number of "I/O waiters" into account at all and the pattern detection code in it avoids taking timer wakeups into account. It also only uses idle duration values less than the current time till the closest timer (with the tick excluded) for that purpose. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

Kernel panic issues are always painful to debug, partially because it's not easy to get enough information of the context when panic happens.

Now drives without metadata per LBA can be used as well. * Fix from Geert on uninitialized value on chunk metadata reads. * Fixes from Hans and Javier to pblk recovery and write path. * Fix from Hua Su to fix a race condition in the pblk recovery code. * Scan optimization added to pblk recovery from Zhoujie. * Small geometry cleanup from me. - Conversion of the last few drivers that used the legacy path to blk-mq (me) - Removal of legacy IO path in SCSI (me, Christoph) - Removal of legacy IO stack and schedulers (me) - Support for much better polling, now without interrupts at all. blk-mq adds support for multiple queue maps, which enables us to have a map per type.

Add cpuidle.governor= command line parameter to allow the default cpuidle governor to be replaced. That is useful, for example, if someone running a tickful kernel wants to use the menu governor on it. Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@intel.com>
2018-12-11x86/speculation/l1tf: Drop the swap storage limit restriction when l1tf=offMichal Hocko
Swap storage is restricted to max_swapfile_size (~16TB on x86_64) whenever the system is deemed affected by L1TF vulnerability. Even though the limit is quite high for most deployments it seems to be too restrictive for deployments which are willing to live with the mitigation disabled. We have a customer to deploy 8x 6,4TB PCIe/NVMe SSD swap devices which is clearly out of the limit. Drop the swap restriction when l1tf=off is specified. It also doesn't make much sense to warn about too much memory for the l1tf mitigation when it is forcefully disabled by the administrator.

2018-12-11iommu/vt-d: Enumerate the scalable mode capabilityLu Baolu
The Intel vt-d spec rev3.0 introduces a new translation mode called scalable mode, which enables PASID-granular translations for first level, second level, nested and pass-through modes. At the same time, the previous Extended Context (ECS) mode is deprecated (no production ever implements ECS). This patch adds enumeration for Scalable Mode and removes the deprecated ECS enumeration. It provides a boot time option to disable scalable mode even hardware claims to support it.

2018-12-07blkcg: associate writeback bios with a blkgDennis Zhou
One of the goals of this series is to remove a separate reference to the css of the bio. This can and should be accessed via bio_blkcg(). In this patch, wbc_init_bio() now requires a bio to have a device associated with it.
