Pull time(keeping) updates from Thomas Gleixner:
- Fix the time_for_children symlink in /proc/$PID/ so it properly
reflects that it part of the 'time' namespace
- Add the missing userns limit for the allowed number of time
namespaces, which was half defined but the actual array member was
not added. This went unnoticed as the array has an exessive empty
member at the end but introduced a user visible regression as the
output was corrupted.
- Prevent further silent ucount corruption by adding a BUILD_BUG_ON()
to catch half updated data.

Commit 944d9fec8d7a ("hugetlb: add support for gigantic page allocation
at runtime") has added the run-time allocation of gigantic pages.
However it actually works only at early stages of the system loading,
when the majority of memory is free. After some time the memory gets
fragmented by non-movable pages, so the chances to find a contiguous 1GB
block are getting close to zero. Even dropping caches manually doesn't
help a lot.
At large scale rebooting servers in order to allocate gigantic hugepages
is quite expensive and complex. At the same time keeping some constant
percentage of memory in reserved hugepages even if the workload isn't
using it is a big waste: not all workloads can benefit from using 1 GB
pages.
The following solution can solve the problem:
1) On boot time a dedicated cma area* is reserved. The size is passed
as a kernel argument.
2) Run-time allocations of gigantic hugepages are performed using the
cma allocator and the dedicated cma area
In this case gigantic hugepages can be allocated successfully with a
high probability, however the memory isn't completely wasted if nobody
is using 1GB hugepages: it can be used for pagecache, anon memory, THPs,
etc.
* On a multi-node machine a per-node cma area is allocated on each node.
Following gigantic hugetlb allocation are using the first available
numa node if the mask isn't specified by a user.
Usage:
1) configure the kernel to allocate a cma area for hugetlb allocations:
pass hugetlb_cma=10G as a kernel argument
2) allocate hugetlb pages as usual, e.g.
echo 10 > /sys/kernel/mm/hugepages/hugepages-1048576kB/nr_hugepages
If the option isn't enabled or the allocation of the cma area failed,
the current behavior of the system is preserved.
x86 and arm-64 are covered by this patch, other architectures can be
trivially added later.
The patch contains clean-ups and fixes proposed and implemented by Aslan
Bakirov and Randy Dunlap. It also contains ideas and suggestions
proposed by Rik van Riel, Michal Hocko and Mike Kravetz. Thanks!

"On x86" and "On SPARC" are now definition list terms, like
"On PowerPC", "On other", and "On all".
The Credits list is now a bulleted list, like lots of Credits lists in
other files. This prevents the list from becoming a single long,
unpunctuated sentence in the generated documentation.
I also did a couple of other tiny readability improvements to the
"How do I use the magic SysRq key?" section while I was there.

In commit 357b4da50a62 ("x86: respect memory size limiting via mem=
parameter") a global varialbe max_mem_size is added to store the value
parsed from 'mem= ', then checked when memory region is added. This truly
stops those DIMMs from being added into system memory during boot-time.
However, it also limits the later memory hotplug functionality. Any DIMM
can't be hotplugged any more if its region is beyond the max_mem_size. We
will get errors like:
[ 216.387164] acpi PNP0C80:02: add_memory failed
[ 216.389301] acpi PNP0C80:02: acpi_memory_enable_device() error
[ 216.392187] acpi PNP0C80:02: Enumeration failure
This will cause issue in a known use case where 'mem=' is added to the
hypervisor. The memory that lies after 'mem=' boundary will be assigned
to KVM guests. After commit 357b4da50a62 merged, memory can't be extended
dynamically if system memory on hypervisor is not sufficient.
So fix it by also checking if it's during boot-time restricting to add
memory. Otherwise, skip the restriction.
And also add this use case to document of 'mem=' kernel parameter.

The thp_fault_fallback and thp_file_fallback vmstats are incremented if
either the hugepage allocation fails through the page allocator or the
hugepage charge fails through mem cgroup.
This patch leaves this field untouched but adds two new fields,
thp_{fault,file}_fallback_charge, which is incremented only when the mem
cgroup charge fails.
This distinguishes between attempted hugepage allocations that fail due to
fragmentation (or low memory conditions) and those that fail due to mem
cgroup limits. That can be used to determine the impact of fragmentation
on the system by excluding faults that failed due to memcg usage.

The existing thp_fault_fallback indicates when thp attempts to allocate a
hugepage but fails, or if the hugepage cannot be charged to the mem cgroup
hierarchy.
Extend this to shmem as well. Adds a new thp_file_fallback to complement
thp_file_alloc that gets incremented when a hugepage is attempted to be
allocated but fails, or if it cannot be charged to the mem cgroup
hierarchy.
Additionally, remove the check for CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGE_PAGECACHE from
shmem_alloc_hugepage() since it is only called with this configuration
option.

Michael noticed that userns limit for number of time namespaces is missing.
Furthermore, time namespace introduced UCOUNT_TIME_NAMESPACES, but didn't
introduce an array member in user_table[]. It would make array's
initialisation OOB write, but by luck the user_table array has an excessive
empty member (all accesses to the array are limited with UCOUNT_COUNTS - so
it silently reuses the last free member.
Fixes user-visible regression: max_inotify_instances by reason of the
missing UCOUNT_ENTRY() has limited max number of namespaces instead of the
number of inotify instances.
Fixes: 769071ac9f20 ("ns: Introduce Time Namespace")

Since commit 5bbe3547aa3ba ("mm: allow compaction of unevictable pages")
it is allowed to examine mlocked pages and compact them by default. On
-RT even minor pagefaults are problematic because it may take a few 100us
to resolve them and until then the task is blocked.
Make compact_unevictable_allowed = 0 default and issue a warning on RT if
it is changed.

Right now, the effective protection of any given cgroup is capped by its
own explicit memory.low setting, regardless of what the parent says. The
reasons for this are mostly historical and ease of implementation: to make
delegation of memory.low safe, effective protection is the min() of all
memory.low up the tree.
Unfortunately, this limitation makes it impossible to protect an entire
subtree from another without forcing the user to make explicit protection
allocations all the way to the leaf cgroups - something that is highly
undesirable in real life scenarios.
Consider memory in a data center host. At the cgroup top level, we have a
distinction between system management software and the actual workload the
system is executing. Both branches are further subdivided into individual
services, job components etc.
We want to protect the workload as a whole from the system management
software, but that doesn't mean we want to protect and prioritize
individual workload wrt each other. Their memory demand can vary over
time, and we'd want the VM to simply cache the hottest data within the
workload subtree. Yet, the current memory.low limitations force us to
allocate a fixed amount of protection to each workload component in order
to get protection from system management software in general. This
results in very inefficient resource distribution.
Another concern with mandating downward allocation is that, as the
complexity of the cgroup tree grows, it gets harder for the lower levels
to be informed about decisions made at the host-level. Consider a
container inside a namespace that in turn creates its own nested tree of
cgroups to run multiple workloads. It'd be extremely difficult to
configure memory.low parameters in those leaf cgroups that on one hand
balance pressure among siblings as the container desires, while also
reflecting the host-level protection from e.g. rpm upgrades, that lie
beyond one or more delegation and namespacing points in the tree.
It's highly unusual from a cgroup interface POV that nested levels have to
be aware of and reflect decisions made at higher levels for them to be
effective.
To enable such use cases and scale configurability for complex trees, this
patch implements a resource inheritance model for memory that is similar
to how the CPU and the IO controller implement work-conserving resource
allocations: a share of a resource allocated to a subree always applies to
the entire subtree recursively, while allowing, but not mandating,
children to further specify distribution rules.
That means that if protection is explicitly allocated among siblings,
those configured shares are being followed during page reclaim just like
they are now. However, if the memory.low set at a higher level is not
fully claimed by the children in that subtree, the "floating" remainder is
applied to each cgroup in the tree in proportion to its size. Since
reclaim pressure is applied in proportion to size as well, each child in
that tree gets the same boost, and the effect is neutral among siblings -
with respect to each other, they behave as if no memory control was
enabled at all, and the VM simply balances the memory demands optimally
within the subtree. But collectively those cgroups enjoy a boost over the
cgroups in neighboring trees.
E.g. a leaf cgroup with a memory.low setting of 0 no longer means that
it's not getting a share of the hierarchically assigned resource, just
that it doesn't claim a fixed amount of it to protect from its siblings.
This allows us to recursively protect one subtree (workload) from another
(system management), while letting subgroups compete freely among each
other - without having to assign fixed shares to each leaf, and without
nested groups having to echo higher-level settings.
The floating protection composes naturally with fixed protection.
Consider the following example tree:
A A: low = 2G
/ \ A1: low = 1G
A1 A2 A2: low = 0G
As outside pressure is applied to this tree, A1 will enjoy a fixed
protection from A2 of 1G, but the remaining, unclaimed 1G from A is split
evenly among A1 and A2, coming out to 1.5G and 0.5G.
There is a slight risk of regressing theoretical setups where the
top-level cgroups don't know about the true budgeting and set bogusly high
"bypass" values that are meaningfully allocated down the tree. Such
setups would rely on unclaimed protection to be discarded, and
distributing it would change the intended behavior. Be safe and hide the
new behavior behind a mount option, 'memory_recursiveprot'.

Debug messages from the system suspend/hibernation infrastructure
are disabled by default, and can only be enabled after the system
has boot up via /sys/power/pm_debug_messages.
This makes the hibernation resume hard to track as it involves system
boot up across hibernation. There's no chance for software_resume()
to track the resume process, for example.
Add a kernel command line option to set pm_debug_messages during
boot up.

Pull SELinux updates from Paul Moore:
"We've got twenty SELinux patches for the v5.7 merge window, the
highlights are below:
- Deprecate setting /sys/fs/selinux/checkreqprot to 1.
This flag was originally created to deal with legacy userspace and
the READ_IMPLIES_EXEC personality flag. We changed the default from
1 to 0 back in Linux v4.4 and now we are taking the next step of
deprecating it, at some point in the future we will take the final
step of rejecting 1.
- Allow kernfs symlinks to inherit the SELinux label of the parent
directory. In order to preserve backwards compatibility this is
protected by the genfs_seclabel_symlinks SELinux policy capability.
- Optimize how we store filename transitions in the kernel, resulting
in some significant improvements to policy load times.
- Do a better job calculating our internal hash table sizes which
resulted in additional policy load improvements and likely general
SELinux performance improvements as well.
- Remove the unused initial SIDs (labels) and improve how we handle
initial SIDs.
- Enable per-file labeling for the bpf filesystem.
- Ensure that we properly label NFS v4.2 filesystems to avoid a
temporary unlabeled condition.
- Add some missing XFS quota command types to the SELinux quota
access controls.
- Fix a problem where we were not updating the seq_file position
index correctly in selinuxfs.
- We consolidate some duplicated code into helper functions.
- A number of list to array conversions.
- Update Stephen Smalley's email address in MAINTAINERS"

- Various NUMA scheduling updates: harmonize the load-balancer and

result is better locality, better utilization and fewer migrations.
- Introduce Thermal Pressure tracking and optimizations, to improve
task placement on thermally overloaded systems.
- Implement frequency invariant scheduler accounting on (some) x86
CPUs. This is done by observing and sampling the 'recent' CPU
frequency average at ~tick boundaries. The CPU provides this data
via the APERF/MPERF MSRs. This hopefully makes our capacity
estimates more precise and keeps tasks on the same CPU better even
if it might seem overloaded at a lower momentary frequency. (As
usual, turbo mode is a complication that we resolve by observing
the maximum frequency and renormalizing to it.)
- Add asymmetric CPU capacity wakeup scan to improve capacity
utilization on asymmetric topologies. (big.LITTLE systems)

Currently io_ticks is approximated by adding one at each start and end of
requests if jiffies counter has changed. This works perfectly for requests
shorter than a jiffy or if one of requests starts/ends at each jiffy.
If disk executes just one request at a time and they are longer than two
jiffies then only first and last jiffies will be accounted.
Fix is simple: at the end of request add up into io_ticks jiffies passed
since last update rather than just one jiffy.
Example: common HDD executes random read 4k requests around 12ms.
fio --name=test --filename=/dev/sdb --rw=randread --direct=1 --runtime=30 &
iostat -x 10 sdb
Note changes of iostat's "%util" 8,43% -> 99,99% before/after patch:
Before:
Device: rrqm/s wrqm/s r/s w/s rkB/s wkB/s avgrq-sz avgqu-sz await r_await w_await svctm %util
sdb 0,00 0,00 82,60 0,00 330,40 0,00 8,00 0,96 12,09 12,09 0,00 1,02 8,43
After:
Device: rrqm/s wrqm/s r/s w/s rkB/s wkB/s avgrq-sz avgqu-sz await r_await w_await svctm %util
sdb 0,00 0,00 82,50 0,00 330,00 0,00 8,00 1,00 12,10 12,10 0,00 12,12 99,99
Now io_ticks does not loose time between start and end of requests, but
for queue-depth > 1 some I/O time between adjacent starts might be lost.
For load estimation "%util" is not as useful as average queue length,
but it clearly shows how often disk queue is completely empty.

BGRT is for displaying seamless OEM logo from booting to login screen;
however, this mechanism does not always work well on all configurations
and the OEM logo can be displayed multiple times. This looks worse than
without BGRT enabled.
This patch adds a kernel parameter to disable BGRT in boot time. This is
easier than re-compiling a kernel with CONFIG_ACPI_BGRT disabled.

Daniel Borkmann says:
====================
pull-request: bpf-next 2020-03-13
The following pull-request contains BPF updates for your *net-next* tree.
We've added 86 non-merge commits during the last 12 day(s) which contain
a total of 107 files changed, 5771 insertions(+), 1700 deletions(-).
The main changes are:
1) Add modify_return attach type which allows to attach to a function via
BPF trampoline and is run after the fentry and before the fexit programs
and can pass a return code to the original caller, from KP Singh.
2) Generalize BPF's kallsyms handling and add BPF trampoline and dispatcher
objects to be visible in /proc/kallsyms so they can be annotated in
stack traces, from Jiri Olsa.
3) Extend BPF sockmap to allow for UDP next to existing TCP support in order
in order to enable this for BPF based socket dispatch, from Lorenz Bauer.
4) Introduce a new bpftool 'prog profile' command which attaches to existing
BPF programs via fentry and fexit hooks and reads out hardware counters
during that period, from Song Liu. Example usage:
bpftool prog profile id 337 duration 3 cycles instructions llc_misses
4228 run_cnt
3403698 cycles (84.08%)
3525294 instructions # 1.04 insn per cycle (84.05%)
13 llc_misses # 3.69 LLC misses per million isns (83.50%)
5) Batch of improvements to libbpf, bpftool and BPF selftests. Also addition
of a new bpf_link abstraction to keep in particular BPF tracing programs
attached even when the applicaion owning them exits, from Andrii Nakryiko.
6) New bpf_get_current_pid_tgid() helper for tracing to perform PID filtering
and which returns the PID as seen by the init namespace, from Carlos Neira.
7) Refactor of RISC-V JIT code to move out common pieces and addition of a
new RV32G BPF JIT compiler, from Luke Nelson.
8) Add gso_size context member to __sk_buff in order to be able to know whether
a given skb is GSO or not, from Willem de Bruijn.
9) Add a new bpf_xdp_output() helper which reuses XDP's existing perf RB output
implementation but can be called from tracepoint programs, from Eelco Chaudron.
