Pull scheduler updates from Ingo Molnar:
"The main changes in this (fairly busy) cycle were:
- There was a class of scheduler bugs related to forgetting to update
the rq-clock timestamp which can cause weird and hard to debug
problems, so there's a new debug facility for this: which uncovered
a whole lot of bugs which convinced us that we want to keep the
debug facility.
(Peter Zijlstra, Matt Fleming)
- Various cputime related updates: eliminate cputime and use u64
nanoseconds directly, simplify and improve the arch interfaces,
implement delayed accounting more widely, etc. - (Frederic
Weisbecker)
- Move code around for better structure plus cleanups (Ingo Molnar)
- Move IO schedule accounting deeper into the scheduler plus related
changes to improve the situation (Tejun Heo)
- ... plus a round of sched/rt and sched/deadline fixes, plus other
fixes, updats and cleanups"

Pull perf updates from Ingo Molnar:
"On the kernel side the main changes in this cycle were:
- Add Intel Kaby Lake CPU support (Srinivas Pandruvada)
- AMD uncore driver updates for fam17 (Janakarajan Natarajan)
- Intel/PT updates and core events optimizations and cleanups
(Alexander Shishkin)
- cgroups events fixes (David Carrillo-Cisneros)
- kprobes improvements (Masami Hiramatsu)
- ... plus misc fixes and updates.
On the tooling side the main changes were:
- Support clang build in tools/{perf,lib/{bpf,traceevent,api}} with
CC=clang, to, for instance, take advantage of better warnings
(Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo):
- Introduce the 'delta-abs' 'perf diff' compute method, that orders
the histogram entries by the absolute value of the percentage delta
for a function in two perf.data files, i.e. the functions that
changed the most (increase or decrease in samples) comes first
(Namhyung Kim)
- Add support for parsing Intel uncore vendor event files and add
uncore vendor events for the Intel server processors (Haswell,
Broadwell, IvyBridge), Xeon Phi (Knights Landing) and Broadwell DE
(Andi Kleen)
- Introduce 'perf ftrace' a perf front end to the kernel's ftrace
function and function_graph tracer, defaulting to the
"function_graph" tracer, more work will be done in reviving this
effort, forward porting it from its initial patch submission
(Namhyung Kim)
- Add 'e' and 'c' hotkeys to expand/collapse call chains for a single
hist entry in the 'perf report' and 'perf top' TUI (Jiri Olsa)
- Account thread wait time (off CPU time) separately: sleep, iowait
and preempt, based on the prev_state of the last event, show the
breakdown when using "perf sched timehist --state" (Namhyumg Kim)
- Add more triggers to switch the output file (perf.data.TIMESTAMP).
Now, in addition to switching to a different output file when
receiving a SIGUSR2, one can also specify file size and time based
triggers:
perf record -a --switch-output=signal
is equivalent to what we had before:
perf record -a --switch-output
While we can also ask for the file to be "sliced" by size, taking
into account that that will happen only when we get woken up by the
kernel, i.e. one has to take into account the --mmap-pages (the
size of the perf mmap ring buffer):
perf record -a --switch-output=2G
will break the perf.data output into multiple files limited to 2GB
of samples, right when generating the output.
For time based samples, alert() will be used, so to have 1 minute
limited perf.data output files:
perf record -a --switch-output=1m
(Jiri Olsa)
- Improve 'perf trace' (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
- 'perf kallsyms' toy tool to look for extended symbol information on
the running kernel and demonstrate the machine/thread/symbol APIs
for use in other tools, such as 'perf probe' (Arnaldo Carvalho de
Melo)
- ... plus tons of other changes, see the shortlog and Git log for
details"
* 'perf-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (131 commits)

Pull EFI updates from Ingo Molnar:
"The main changes in this cycle were:
- Changes to the EFI init code to establish whether secure boot
authentication was performed at boot time. (Josh Boyer, David
Howells)

A bug fix to the MSIx handling in vfio added references to functions
that may not be defined if MSI is disabled in the kernel, resulting in
this link error:
drivers/built-in.o: In function `vfio_msi_set_vector_signal':
:(.text+0x450808): undefined reference to `get_cached_msi_msg'
:(.text+0x45080c): undefined reference to `write_msi_msg'
As suggested by Alex Williamson, add stub implementations for
get_cached_msi_msg() and pci_write_msi_msg().
In case this bugfix gets backported, please note that the #ifdef
has changed over time, originally both functions were implemented
in drivers/pci/msi.c and controlled by CONFIG_PCI_MSI, while nowadays
get_cached_msi_msg() is part of the generic MSI support and can be
used without PCI.

This patch adds code that handles GFP_ATOMIC kmalloc failure on
insertion. As we cannot use vmalloc, we solve it by making our
hash table nested. That is, we allocate single pages at each level
and reach our desired table size by nesting them.
When a nested table is created, only a single page is allocated
at the top-level. Lower levels are allocated on demand during
insertion. Therefore for each insertion to succeed, only two
(non-consecutive) pages are needed.
After a nested table is created, a rehash will be scheduled in
order to switch to a vmalloced table as soon as possible. Also,
the rehash code will never rehash into a nested table. If we
detect a nested table during a rehash, the rehash will be aborted
and a new rehash will be scheduled.

If BPF_F_ALLOW_OVERRIDE flag is used in BPF_PROG_ATTACH command
to the given cgroup the descendent cgroup will be able to override
effective bpf program that was inherited from this cgroup.
By default it's not passed, therefore override is disallowed.
Examples:
1.
prog X attached to /A with default
prog Y fails to attach to /A/B and /A/B/C
Everything under /A runs prog X
2.
prog X attached to /A with allow_override.
prog Y fails to attach to /A/B with default (non-override)
prog M attached to /A/B with allow_override.
Everything under /A/B runs prog M only.
3.
prog X attached to /A with allow_override.
prog Y fails to attach to /A with default.
The user has to detach first to switch the mode.
In the future this behavior may be extended with a chain of
non-overridable programs.
Also fix the bug where detach from cgroup where nothing is attached
was not throwing error. Return ENOENT in such case.
Add several testcases and adjust libbpf.

This patch renames the SPINOR_OP_* macros of the 4-byte address
instruction set so the new names all share a common pattern: the 4-byte
address name is built from the 3-byte address name appending the "_4B"
suffix.
The patch also introduces new op codes to support other SPI protocols such
as SPI 1-4-4 and SPI 1-2-2.
This is a transitional patch and will help a later patch of spi-nor.c
to automate the translation from the 3-byte address op codes into their
4-byte address version.

Xilinx Spartan-3AN FPGAs contain an In-System Flash where they keep
their configuration data and (optionally) some user data.
The protocol of this flash follows most of the spi-nor standard. With
the following differences:
- Page size might not be a power of two.
- The address calculation (default addressing mode).
- The spi nor commands used.
Protocol is described on Xilinx User Guide UG333

Currently CONFIG_TIMER_STATS exposes process information across namespaces:
kernel/time/timer_list.c print_timer():
SEQ_printf(m, ", %s/%d", tmp, timer->start_pid);
/proc/timer_list:
#11: <0000000000000000>, hrtimer_wakeup, S:01, do_nanosleep, cron/2570
Given that the tracer can give the same information, this patch entirely
removes CONFIG_TIMER_STATS.

While supporting file-based address filters for CPU events requires some
extra context switch handling, kernel address filters are easy, since the
kernel mapping is preserved across address spaces. It is also useful as
it permits tracing scheduling paths of the kernel.
This patch allows setting up kernel filters for CPU events.

Commit 513e3d2d11c9 ("cpumask: always use nr_cpu_ids in formatting and
parsing functions") converted both cpumask printing and parsing
functions to use nr_cpu_ids instead of nr_cpumask_bits. While this was
okay for the printing functions as it just picked one of the two output
formats that we were alternating between depending on a kernel config,
doing the same for parsing wasn't okay.
nr_cpumask_bits can be either nr_cpu_ids or NR_CPUS. We can always use
nr_cpu_ids but that is a variable while NR_CPUS is a constant, so it can
be more efficient to use NR_CPUS when we can get away with it.
Converting the printing functions to nr_cpu_ids makes sense because it
affects how the masks get presented to userspace and doesn't break
anything; however, using nr_cpu_ids for parsing functions can
incorrectly leave the higher bits uninitialized while reading in these
masks from userland. As all testing and comparison functions use
nr_cpumask_bits which can be larger than nr_cpu_ids, the parsed cpumasks
can erroneously yield false negative results.
This made the taskstats interface incorrectly return -EINVAL even when
the inputs were correct.
Fix it by restoring the parse functions to use nr_cpumask_bits instead
of nr_cpu_ids.

Some ->page_mkwrite handlers may return VM_FAULT_RETRY as its return
code (GFS2 or Lustre can definitely do this). However VM_FAULT_RETRY
from ->page_mkwrite is completely unhandled by the mm code and results
in locking and writeably mapping the page which definitely is not what
the caller wanted.
Fix Lustre and block_page_mkwrite_ret() used by other filesystems
(notably GFS2) to return VM_FAULT_NOPAGE instead which results in
bailing out from the fault code, the CPU then retries the access, and we
fault again effectively doing what the handler wanted.

The stack must not pass packets to device drivers that are shorter
than the minimum link layer header length.
Previously, packet sockets would drop packets smaller than or equal
to dev->hard_header_len, but this has false positives. Zero length
payload is used over Ethernet. Other link layer protocols support
variable length headers. Support for validation of these protocols
removed the min length check for all protocols.
Introduce an explicit dev->min_header_len parameter and drop all
packets below this value. Initially, set it to non-zero only for
Ethernet and loopback. Other protocols can follow in a patch to
net-next.

Back in the days when the GICv3/v4 architecture was drafted,
the command to an event to an LPI number was called MAPVI.
Later on, and to avoid confusion with the GICv4 command VMAPI,
it was renamed MAPTI. We've carried the old name for a long
time, but it gets in the way of people reading the code in
the light of the public architecture specification.
Just repaint all the references and kill the old definition.

During the development of the GICv3/v4 architecture, it was
envisaged to have a CPU table, though the use for it was
never completely clear (the collection table serves that role
pretty well). It ended being dropped before the specification
was published, though it lived on in the driver.
In order to avoid people scratching their head too much, let's do
the same in the kernel.

The current code uses the CLOCKSOURCE_OF_DECLARE macro to fill the clksrc
table with a t-uple (name, init_function).
Unfortunately it ends up to the clockevent and the clocksource being
both initialized with this macro. It is not a problem by itself but there
is not a clear distinction between a clockevent and a clocksource in the
code initialization path. Somebody can argue there are the same IP block
and the same DT node. But conceptually from the software side, there are
two distincts entities and as is they should be initialized separetely.
Some drivers which do not have a clocksource end up by using the
CLOCKSOURCE_OF_DECLARE macro to declare a clockevent.
Another result is the fuzzy organization in the clocksource directory,
where the clockevents are implemented in the same file than the
clocksources or file labelled timer-something implementing a clocksource.
This patch provides another macro to specifically declare a clockevent in
the same way than the clocksource and gives the opportunity to write two
separate drivers, one for the clocksource and another for the clockevents.
Hopefully, that can help to do some housework in the directory, perhaps
split the drivers in to entities, for example:
- clksrc-rockchip.c
- clkevt-rockchip.c
Also, it gives the possibility to declare clocksources separately in the
DT and then use a clocksource from IP block while while clockevents are
used from another IP block.

Get the firmware's secure-boot status in the kernel boot wrapper and stash
it somewhere that the main kernel image can find.
The efi_get_secureboot() function is extracted from the ARM stub and (a)
generalised so that it can be called from x86 and (b) made to use
efi_call_runtime() so that it can be run in mixed-mode.
For x86, it is stored in boot_params and can be overridden by the boot
loader or kexec. This allows secure-boot mode to be passed on to a new
kernel.

It was observed that on an Intel x86 system without the ARAT (Always
running APIC timer) feature and with fairly large number of CPUs as
well as CPUs coming in and out of intel_idle frequently, the lock
contention on the tick_broadcast_lock can become significant.
To reduce contention, the lock is put into its own cacheline and all
the cpumask_var_t variables are put into the __read_mostly section.

Reading a sysfs "memoryN/valid_zones" file leads to the following oops

show_valid_zones() assumes that 'start_pfn' is always valid for
page_zone().
BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ffffea017a000000
IP: show_valid_zones+0x6f/0x160
This issue may happen on x86-64 systems with 64GiB or more memory since
their memory block size is bumped up to 2GiB. [1] An example of such
systems is desribed below. 0x3240000000 is only aligned by 1GiB and
this memory block starts from 0x3200000000, which is not backed by
struct page.

Since test_pages_in_a_zone() already checks holes, fix this issue by
extending this function to return 'valid_start' and 'valid_end' for a
given range. show_valid_zones() then proceeds with the valid range.

Merge kcrctab entry fixes from Ard Biesheuvel:

instead.
First it introduces the MODULE_REL_CRCS Kconfig symbol, and adds the
kbuild handling of it, i.e., modpost, genksyms and kallsyms.
Then it switches all architectures to 32-bit CRC entries in kcrctab,
where all architectures except powerpc with CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y use
absolute ELF symbol references as before"

The function order_base_2() is defined (according to the comment block)
as returning zero on input zero, but subsequently passes the input into
roundup_pow_of_two(), which is explicitly undefined for input zero.
This has gone unnoticed until now, but optimization passes in GCC 7 may
produce constant folded function instances where a constant value of
zero is passed into order_base_2(), resulting in link errors against the
deliberately undefined '____ilog2_NaN'.
So update order_base_2() to adhere to its own documented interface.

cannot refer to ELF symbols using 32-bit quantities.

architectures, but just in case - unify them in a separate patch, which

The modversion symbol CRCs are emitted as ELF symbols, which allows us
to easily populate the kcrctab sections by relying on the linker to
associate each kcrctab slot with the correct value.
This has a couple of downsides:
- Given that the CRCs are treated as memory addresses, we waste 4 bytes
for each CRC on 64 bit architectures,
- On architectures that support runtime relocation, a R_<arch>_RELATIVE
relocation entry is emitted for each CRC value, which identifies it
as a quantity that requires fixing up based on the actual runtime
load offset of the kernel. This results in corrupted CRCs unless we
explicitly undo the fixup (and this is currently being handled in the
core module code)
- Such runtime relocation entries take up 24 bytes of __init space
each, resulting in a x8 overhead in [uncompressed] kernel size for
CRCs.
Switching to explicit 32 bit values on 64 bit architectures fixes most
of these issues, given that 32 bit values are not treated as quantities
that require fixing up based on the actual runtime load offset. Note
that on some ELF64 architectures [such as PPC64], these 32-bit values
are still emitted as [absolute] runtime relocatable quantities, even if
the value resolves to a build time constant. Since relative relocations
are always resolved at build time, this patch enables MODULE_REL_CRCS on
powerpc when CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y, which turns the absolute CRC
references into relative references into .rodata where the actual CRC
value is stored.
So redefine all CRC fields and variables as u32, and redefine the
__CRC_SYMBOL() macro for 64 bit builds to emit the CRC reference using
inline assembler (which is necessary since 64-bit C code cannot use
32-bit types to hold memory addresses, even if they are ultimately
resolved using values that do not exceed 0xffffffff). To avoid
potential problems with legacy 32-bit architectures using legacy
toolchains, the equivalent C definition of the kcrctab entry is retained
for 32-bit architectures.
Note that this mostly reverts commit d4703aefdbc8 ("module: handle ppc64
relocating kcrctabs when CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y")
