2017-11-13Merge branch 'x86-cache-for-linus' of ↵Linus Torvalds
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip Pull x86 cache resource updates from Thomas Gleixner: "This update provides updates to RDT: - A diagnostic framework for the Resource Director Technology (RDT) user interface (sysfs). The failure modes of the user interface are hard to diagnose from the error codes.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip Pull timer updates from Thomas Gleixner: "Yet another big pile of changes: - More year 2038 work from Arnd slowly reaching the point where we need to think about the syscalls themself. - A new timer function which allows to conditionally (re)arm a timer only when it's either not running or the new expiry time is sooner than the armed expiry time. This allows to use a single timer for multiple timeout requirements w/o caring about the first expiry time at the call site. - A new NMI safe accessor to clock real time for the printk timestamp work. Can be used by tracing, perf as well if required. - A large number of timer setup conversions from Kees which got collected here because either maintainers requested so or they simply got ignored. As Kees pointed out already there are a few trivial merge conflicts and some redundant commits which was unavoidable due to the size of this conversion effort. - Avoid a redundant iteration in the timer wheel softirq processing. - Provide a mechanism to treat RTC implementations depending on their hardware properties, i.e. don't inflict the write at the 0.5 seconds boundary which originates from the PC CMOS RTC to all RTCs. No functional change as drivers need to be updated separately. - The usual small updates to core code clocksource drivers.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip Pull irq core updates from Thomas Gleixner: "A rather large update for the interrupt core code and the irq chip drivers: - Add a new bitmap matrix allocator and supporting changes, which is used to replace the x86 vector allocator which comes with separate pull request. This allows to replace the convoluted nested loop allocation function in x86 with a facility which supports the recently added property of managed interrupts proper and allows to switch to a best effort vector reservation scheme, which addresses problems with vector exhaustion. - A large update to the ARM GIC-V3-ITS driver adding support for range selectors. - New interrupt controllers: - Meson and Meson8 GPIO - BCM7271 L2 - Socionext EXIU If you expected that this will stop at some point, I have to disappoint you. There are new ones posted already. Sigh! - STM32 interrupt controller support for new platforms. - A pile of fixes, cleanups and updates to the MIPS GIC driver - The usual small fixes, cleanups and updates all over the place.

(Andi Kleen) Tooling: - Completely rework the way inline frames are handled. Instead of querying for the inline nodes on-demand in the individual tools, we now create proper callchain nodes for inlined frames.

2017-11-08EVM: Allow userspace to signal an RSA key has been loadedMatthew Garrett
EVM will only perform validation once a key has been loaded. This key may either be a symmetric trusted key (for HMAC validation and creation) or the public half of an asymmetric key (for digital signature validation). The /sys/kernel/security/evm interface allows userland to signal that a symmetric key has been loaded, but does not allow userland to signal that an asymmetric public key has been loaded. This patch extends the interface to permit userspace to pass a bitmask of loaded key types. It also allows userspace to block loading of a symmetric key in order to avoid a compromised system from being able to load an additional key type later.

2017-11-03Update MIPS email addressesPaul Burton
MIPS will soon not be a part of Imagination Technologies, and as such many @imgtec.com email addresses will no longer be valid. This patch updates the addresses for those who: - Have 10 or more patches in mainline authored using an @imgtec.com email address, or any patches dated within the past year. - Are still with Imagination but leaving as part of the MIPS business unit, as determined from an internal email address list. - Haven't already updated their email address (ie. JamesH) or expressed a desire to be excluded (ie. Maciej). - Acked v2 or earlier of this patch, which leaves Deng-Cheng, Matt & myself. New addresses are of the form firstname.lastname@mips.com, and all verified against an internal email address list. An entry is added to .mailmap for each person such that get_maintainer.pl will report the new addresses rather than @imgtec.com addresses which will soon be dead. Instances of the affected addresses throughout the tree are then mechanically replaced with the new @mips.com address.

IPI driver for the Open Multi-Processor Interrupt Controller (ompic) as described in the Multi-core support section of the OpenRISC 1.2 architecture specification: https://github.com/openrisc/doc/raw/master/openrisc-arch-1.2-rev0.pdf Each OpenRISC core contains a full interrupt controller which is used in the SMP architecture for interrupt balancing. This IPI device, the ompic, is the only external device required for enabling SMP on OpenRISC. Pending ops are stored in a memory bit mask which can allow multiple pending operations to be set and serviced at a time. This is mostly borrowed from the alpha IPI implementation.
