2017-07-05x86/mm: Add the 'nopcid' boot option to turn off PCIDAndy Lutomirski
The parameter is only present on x86_64 systems to save a few bytes, as PCID is always disabled on x86_32.

2017-06-22dt-bindings/interrupt-controller: sunxi-nmi: Add compatible for A31 R_INTCChen-Yu Tsai
The A31 and later have an R_INTC block which handles the NMI interrupt pin on the SoC. This interrupt pin is used by the external PMIC to signal interrupts to the SoC. While this hardware block is undocumented, the interrupt offsets combined with the register regions for the existing "sun6i-a31-sc-nmi" compatible line up with the old interrupt controller found on the A10. Experiments show that only the first 32 interrupt lines can be enabled, and only the first (NMI) interrupt is actually connected. This patch adds a new, properly named compatible for the A31 R_INTC block, which requires the register region to be properly aligned to the block boundary. For comparison, the old "sun6i-a31-sc-nmi" compatible had its register region aligned with the first used register. This didn't match up with the memory map in the SoC's datasheet/user manual. Since the new compatible supercedes the old one, deprecate the old one. Signed-off-by: Chen-Yu Tsai <wens@csie.org> Signed-off-by: Marc Zyngier <marc.zyngier@arm.com>

As it turns out more than just Armada 370 and XP support using GPIO lines as PWM lines. For example the Armada 38x family has the same hardware support. As such "marvell,armada-370-xp-gpio" for the compatible string is a misnomer. Change the compatible string to "marvell,armada-370-gpio" before the driver makes it out of the -rc stage. This also follows the practice of using only the first device family supported as part of the name. Also update the documentation and comments in the code accordingly.

2017-06-20sched/wait: Rename wait_queue_t => wait_queue_entry_tIngo Molnar
Rename: wait_queue_t => wait_queue_entry_t 'wait_queue_t' was always a slight misnomer: its name implies that it's a "queue", but in reality it's a queue *entry*. The 'real' queue is the wait queue head, which had to carry the name. Start sorting this out by renaming it to 'wait_queue_entry_t'. This also allows the real structure name 'struct __wait_queue' to lose its double underscore and become 'struct wait_queue_entry', which is the more canonical nomenclature for such data types.

2017-06-19mm: larger stack guard gap, between vmasHugh Dickins
Stack guard page is a useful feature to reduce a risk of stack smashing into a different mapping. We have been using a single page gap which is sufficient to prevent having stack adjacent to a different mapping. But this seems to be insufficient in the light of the stack usage in userspace. E.g. glibc uses as large as 64kB alloca() in many commonly used functions. Others use constructs liks gid_t buffer[NGROUPS_MAX] which is 256kB or stack strings with MAX_ARG_STRLEN. This will become especially dangerous for suid binaries and the default no limit for the stack size limit because those applications can be tricked to consume a large portion of the stack and a single glibc call could jump over the guard page. These attacks are not theoretical, unfortunatelly. Make those attacks less probable by increasing the stack guard gap to 1MB (on systems with 4k pages; but make it depend on the page size because systems with larger base pages might cap stack allocations in the PAGE_SIZE units) which should cover larger alloca() and VLA stack allocations. It is obviously not a full fix because the problem is somehow inherent, but it should reduce attack space a lot. One could argue that the gap size should be configurable from userspace, but that can be done later when somebody finds that the new 1MB is wrong for some special case applications. For now, add a kernel command line option (stack_guard_gap) to specify the stack gap size (in page units). Implementation wise, first delete all the old code for stack guard page: because although we could get away with accounting one extra page in a stack vma, accounting a larger gap can break userspace - case in point, a program run with "ulimit -S -v 20000" failed when the 1MB gap was counted for RLIMIT_AS; similar problems could come with RLIMIT_MLOCK and strict non-overcommit mode. Instead of keeping gap inside the stack vma, maintain the stack guard gap as a gap between vmas: using vm_start_gap() in place of vm_start (or vm_end_gap() in place of vm_end if VM_GROWSUP) in just those few places which need to respect the gap - mainly arch_get_unmapped_area(), and and the vma tree's subtree_gap support for that.

2017-06-18block: remove bio_clone() and all references.NeilBrown
bio_clone() is no longer used. Only bio_clone_bioset() or bio_clone_fast(). This is for the best, as bio_clone() used fs_bio_set, and filesystems are unlikely to want to use bio_clone(). So remove bio_clone() and all references. This includes a fix to some incorrect documentation.

The RCU_TORTURE_TEST_SLOW_PREINIT, RCU_TORTURE_TEST_SLOW_PREINIT_DELAY, RCU_TORTURE_TEST_SLOW_PREINIT_DELAY, RCU_TORTURE_TEST_SLOW_INIT, RCU_TORTURE_TEST_SLOW_INIT_DELAY, RCU_TORTURE_TEST_SLOW_CLEANUP, and RCU_TORTURE_TEST_SLOW_CLEANUP_DELAY Kconfig options are only useful for torture testing, and there are the rcutree.gp_cleanup_delay, rcutree.gp_init_delay, and rcutree.gp_preinit_delay kernel boot parameters that rcutorture can use instead. The effect of these parameters is to artificially slow down grace period initialization and cleanup in order to make some types of race conditions happen more often. This commit therefore simplifies Tree RCU a bit by removing the Kconfig options and adding the corresponding kernel parameters to rcutorture's .boot files instead. However, this commit also leaves out the kernel parameters for TREE02, TREE04, and TREE07 in order to have about the same number of tests slowed as not slowed. TREE01, TREE03, TREE05, and TREE06 are slowed, and the rest are not slowed. Reported-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
2017-06-08srcu: Prevent sdp->srcu_gp_seq_needed counter wrapPaul E. McKenney
If a given CPU never happens to ever start an SRCU grace period, the grace-period sequence counter might wrap. If this CPU were to decide to finally start a grace period, the state of its sdp->srcu_gp_seq_needed might make it appear that it has already requested this grace period, which would prevent starting the grace period. If no other CPU ever started a grace period again, this would look like a grace-period hang. Even if some other CPU took pity and started the needed grace period, the leaf rcu_node structure's ->srcu_data_have_cbs field won't have record of the fact that this CPU has a callback pending, which would look like a very localized grace-period hang. This might seem very unlikely, but SRCU grace periods can take less than a microsecond on small systems, which means that overflow can happen in much less than an hour on a 32-bit embedded system. And embedded systems are especially likely to have long-term idle CPUs. Therefore, it makes sense to prevent this scenario from happening. This commit therefore scans each srcu_data structure occasionally, with frequency controlled by the srcutree.counter_wrap_check kernel boot parameter. This parameter can be set to something like 255 in order to exercise the counter-wrap-prevention code. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

This boot parameter is in microseconds, and defaults to zero (that is, disabled).
