2017-10-02net: Add support for networking over Thunderbolt cableAmir Levy
ThunderboltIP is a protocol created by Apple to tunnel IP/ethernet traffic over a Thunderbolt cable. The protocol consists of configuration phase where each side sends ThunderboltIP login packets (the protocol is determined by UUID in the XDomain packet header) over the configuration channel. Once both sides get positive acknowledgment to their login packet, they configure high-speed DMA path accordingly. This DMA path is then used to transmit and receive networking traffic. This patch creates a virtual ethernet interface the host software can use in the same way as any other networking interface. Once the interface is brought up successfully network packets get tunneled over the Thunderbolt cable to the remote host and back. The connection is terminated by sending a ThunderboltIP logout packet over the configuration channel. We do this when the network interface is brought down by user or the driver is unloaded.

2017-09-06mm, page_alloc: rip out ZONELIST_ORDER_ZONEMichal Hocko
Patch series "cleanup zonelists initialization", v1. This is aimed at cleaning up the zonelists initialization code we have but the primary motivation was bug report [2] which got resolved but the usage of stop_machine is just too ugly to live. Most patches are straightforward but 3 of them need a special consideration. Patch 1 removes zone ordered zonelists completely. I am CCing linux-api because this is a user visible change. As I argue in the patch description I do not think we have a strong usecase for it these days. I have kept sysctl in place and warn into the log if somebody tries to configure zone lists ordering. If somebody has a real usecase for it we can revert this patch but I do not expect anybody will actually notice runtime differences. This patch is not strictly needed for the rest but it made patch 6 easier to implement. Patch 7 removes stop_machine from build_all_zonelists without adding any special synchronization between iterators and updater which I _believe_ is acceptable as explained in the changelog. I hope I am not missing anything. Patch 8 then removes zonelists_mutex which is kind of ugly as well and not really needed AFAICS but a care should be taken when double checking my thinking. This patch (of 9): Supporting zone ordered zonelists costs us just a lot of code while the usefulness is arguable if existent at all. Mel has already made node ordering default on 64b systems. 32b systems are still using ZONELIST_ORDER_ZONE because it is considered better to fallback to a different NUMA node rather than consume precious lowmem zones. This argument is, however, weaken by the fact that the memory reclaim has been reworked to be node rather than zone oriented. This means that lowmem requests have to skip over all highmem pages on LRUs already and so zone ordering doesn't save the reclaim time much. So the only advantage of the zone ordering is under a light memory pressure when highmem requests do not ever hit into lowmem zones and the lowmem pressure doesn't need to reclaim. Considering that 32b NUMA systems are rather suboptimal already and it is generally advisable to use 64b kernel on such a HW I believe we should rather care about the code maintainability and just get rid of ZONELIST_ORDER_ZONE altogether. Keep systcl in place and warn if somebody tries to set zone ordering either from kernel command line or the sysctl.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm Pull power management updates from Rafael Wysocki: "This time (again) cpufreq gets the majority of changes which mostly are driver updates (including a major consolidation of intel_pstate), some schedutil governor modifications and core cleanups. There also are some changes in the system suspend area, mostly related to diagnostics and debug messages plus some renames of things related to suspend-to-idle. One major change here is that suspend-to-idle is now going to be preferred over S3 on systems where the ACPI tables indicate to do so and provide requsite support (the Low Power Idle S0 _DSM in particular). The system sleep documentation and the tools related to it are updated too. The rest is a few cpuidle changes (nothing major), devfreq updates, generic power domains (genpd) framework updates and a few assorted modifications elsewhere. Specifics: - Drop the P-state selection algorithm based on a PID controller from intel_pstate and make it use the same P-state selection method (based on the CPU load) for all types of systems in the active mode (Rafael Wysocki, Srinivas Pandruvada). - Rework the cpufreq core and governors to make it possible to take cross-CPU utilization updates into account and modify the schedutil governor to actually do so (Viresh Kumar). - Clean up the handling of transition latency information in the cpufreq core and untangle it from the information on which drivers cannot do dynamic frequency switching (Viresh Kumar). - Add support for new SoCs (MT2701/MT7623 and MT7622) to the mediatek cpufreq driver and update its DT bindings (Sean Wang). - Modify the cpufreq dt-platdev driver to autimatically create cpufreq devices for the new (v2) Operating Performance Points (OPP) DT bindings and update its whitelist of supported systems (Viresh Kumar, Shubhrajyoti Datta, Marc Gonzalez, Khiem Nguyen, Finley Xiao). - Add support for Ux500 to the cpufreq-dt driver and drop the obsolete dbx500 cpufreq driver (Linus Walleij, Arnd Bergmann). - Add new SoC (R8A7795) support to the cpufreq rcar driver (Khiem Nguyen). - Fix and clean up assorted issues in the cpufreq drivers and core (Arvind Yadav, Christophe Jaillet, Colin Ian King, Gustavo Silva, Julia Lawall, Leonard Crestez, Rob Herring, Sudeep Holla). - Update the IO-wait boost handling in the schedutil governor to make it less aggressive (Joel Fernandes). - Rework system suspend diagnostics to make it print fewer messages to the kernel log by default, add a sysfs knob to allow more suspend-related messages to be printed and add Low Power S0 Idle constraints checks to the ACPI suspend-to-idle code (Rafael Wysocki, Srinivas Pandruvada). - Prefer suspend-to-idle over S3 on ACPI-based systems with the ACPI_FADT_LOW_POWER_S0 flag set and the Low Power Idle S0 _DSM interface present in the ACPI tables (Rafael Wysocki). - Update documentation related to system sleep and rename a number of items in the code to make it cleare that they are related to suspend-to-idle (Rafael Wysocki). - Export a variable allowing device drivers to check the target system sleep state from the core system suspend code (Florian Fainelli). - Clean up the cpuidle subsystem to handle the polling state on x86 in a more straightforward way and to use %pOF instead of full_name (Rafael Wysocki, Rob Herring). - Update the devfreq framework to fix and clean up a few minor issues (Chanwoo Choi, Rob Herring). - Extend diagnostics in the generic power domains (genpd) framework and clean it up slightly (Thara Gopinath, Rob Herring). - Fix and clean up a couple of issues in the operating performance points (OPP) framework (Viresh Kumar, Waldemar Rymarkiewicz). - Add support for RV1108 to the rockchip-io Adaptive Voltage Scaling (AVS) driver (David Wu). - Fix the usage of notifiers in CPU power management on some platforms (Alex Shi). - Update the pm-graph system suspend/hibernation and boot profiling utility (Todd Brandt). - Make it possible to run the cpupower utility without CPU0 (Prarit Bhargava)" * tag 'pm-4.14-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm: (87 commits) cpuidle: Make drivers initialize polling state cpuidle: Move polling state initialization code to separate file cpuidle: Eliminate the CPUIDLE_DRIVER_STATE_START symbol cpufreq: imx6q: Fix imx6sx low frequency support cpufreq: speedstep-lib: make several arrays static, makes code smaller PM: docs: Delete the obsolete states.txt document PM: docs: Describe high-level PM strategies and sleep states PM / devfreq: Fix memory leak when fail to register device PM / devfreq: Add dependency on PM_OPP PM / devfreq: Move private devfreq_update_stats() into devfreq PM / devfreq: Convert to using %pOF instead of full_name PM / AVS: rockchip-io: add io selectors and supplies for RV1108 cpufreq: ti: Fix 'of_node_put' being called twice in error handling path cpufreq: dt-platdev: Drop few entries from whitelist cpufreq: dt-platdev: Automatically create cpufreq device with OPP v2 ARM: ux500: don't select CPUFREQ_DT cpuidle: Convert to using %pOF instead of full_name cpufreq: Convert to using %pOF instead of full_name PM / Domains: Convert to using %pOF instead of full_name cpufreq: Cap the default transition delay value to 10 ms ...

(Supercomputers of the future forecasting hurricanes on an ever warming planet can certainly make good use of more RAM.)

Such RAM should be more secure against various attacks like RAM access via the memory bus and should make the radio signature of memory bus traffic harder to intercept (and decrypt) as well. This feature is activated via CONFIG_AMD_MEM_ENCRYPT=y - disabled by default.

2017-08-09s390/vmcp: make use of contiguous memory allocatorHeiko Carstens
If memory is fragmented it is unlikely that large order memory allocations succeed. This has been an issue with the vmcp device driver since a long time, since it requires large physical contiguous memory ares for large responses. To hopefully resolve this issue make use of the contiguous memory allocator (cma). This patch adds a vmcp specific vmcp cma area with a default size of 4MB. The size can be changed either via the VMCP_CMA_SIZE config option at compile time or with the "vmcp_cma" kernel parameter (e.g. "vmcp_cma=16m"). For any vmcp response buffers larger than 16k memory from the cma area will be allocated. If such an allocation fails, there is a fallback to the buddy allocator.

All systems with a defined ACPI preferred profile that are not "servers" have been using the load-based P-state selection algorithm in intel_pstate since 4.12-rc1 (mobile systems and laptops have been using it since 4.10-rc1) and no problems with it have been reported to date. In particular, no regressions with respect to the PID-based P-state selection have been reported. Also testing indicates that the P-state selection algorithm based on CPU load is generally on par with the PID-based algorithm performance-wise, and for some workloads it turns out to be better than the other one, while being more straightforward and easier to understand at the same time. Moreover, the PID-based P-state selection algorithm in intel_pstate is known to be unstable in some situation and generally problematic, the issues with it are hard to address and it has become a significant maintenance burden. For these reasons, make intel_pstate use the "powersave" P-state selection algorithm based on CPU load in the active mode on all systems and drop the PID-based P-state selection code along with all things related to it from the driver. Also update the documentation accordingly. Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@intel.com>

2017-07-24documentation: Fix relation between nohz_full and rcu_nocbsPaul E. McKenney
If a CPU is specified in the nohz_full= kernel boot parameter to a kernel built with CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL=y, then that CPU's callbacks will be offloaded, just as if that CPU had also been specified in the rcu_nocbs= kernel boot parameter. But the current documentation states that the user must keep these two boot parameters manually synchronized. This commit therefore updates the documentation to reflect reality.

2017-07-22cpufreq: governor: Drop min_sampling_rateViresh Kumar
The cpufreq core and governors aren't supposed to set a limit on how fast we want to try changing the frequency. This is currently done for the legacy governors with help of min_sampling_rate. At worst, we may end up setting the sampling rate to a value lower than the rate at which frequency can be changed and then one of the CPUs in the policy will be only changing frequency for ever. But that is something for the user to decide and there is no need to have special handling for such cases in the core. Leave it for the user to figure out.

2017-07-17char_dev: extend dynamic allocation of majors into a higher rangeLogan Gunthorpe
We've run into problems with running out of dynamicly assign char device majors particullarly on automated test systems with all-yes-configs. Roughly 40 dynamic assignments can be made with such kernels at this time while space is reserved for only 20. Currently, the kernel only prints a warning when dynamic allocation overflows the reserved region. And when this happens drivers that have fixed assignments can randomly fail depending on the order of initialization of other drivers. Thus, adding a new char device can cause unexpected failures in completely unrelated parts of the kernel. This patch solves the problem by extending dynamic major number allocations down from 511 once the 234-254 region fills up. Fixed majors already exist above 255 so the infrastructure to support high number majors is already in place. The patch reserves an additional 128 major numbers which should hopefully last us a while. Kernels that don't require more than 20 dynamic majors assigned (which is pretty typical) should not be affected by this change.

2017-07-06mm, memory_hotplug: drop CONFIG_MOVABLE_NODEMichal Hocko
Commit 20b2f52b73fe ("numa: add CONFIG_MOVABLE_NODE for movable-dedicated node") has introduced CONFIG_MOVABLE_NODE without a good explanation on why it is actually useful. It makes a lot of sense to make movable node semantic opt in but we already have that because the feature has to be explicitly enabled on the kernel command line. A config option on top only makes the configuration space larger without a good reason. It also adds an additional ifdefery that pollutes the code. Just drop the config option and make it de-facto always enabled. This shouldn't introduce any change to the semantic.

2017-07-06mm: allow slab_nomerge to be set at build timeKees Cook
Some hardened environments want to build kernels with slab_nomerge already set (so that they do not depend on remembering to set the kernel command line option). This is desired to reduce the risk of kernel heap overflows being able to overwrite objects from merged caches and changes the requirements for cache layout control, increasing the difficulty of these attacks. By keeping caches unmerged, these kinds of exploits can usually only damage objects in the same cache (though the risk to metadata exploitation is unchanged).

From JJ: * several bug fixes and cleanups * the patch to add symlink support to securityfs that was floated on the list earlier and the apparmorfs changes that make use of securityfs symlinks * it introduces the domain labeling base code that Ubuntu has been carrying for several years, with several cleanups applied. And it converts the current mediation over to using the domain labeling base, which brings domain stacking support with it. This finally will bring the base upstream code in line with Ubuntu and provide a base to upstream the new feature work that Ubuntu carries. * This does _not_ contain any of the newer apparmor mediation features/controls (mount, signals, network, keys, ...) that Ubuntu is currently carrying, all of which will be RFC'd on top of this. - Notable also is the Infiniband work in SELinux, and the new file:map permission. From Paul: "While we're down to 21 patches for v4.13 (it was 31 for v4.12), the diffstat jumps up tremendously with over 2k of line changes. Almost all of these changes are the SELinux/IB work done by Daniel Jurgens; some other noteworthy changes include a NFS v4.2 labeling fix, a new file:map permission, and reporting of policy capabilities on policy load" There's also now genfscon labeling support for tracefs, which was lost in v4.1 with the separation from debugfs. - Smack incorporates a safer socket check in file_receive, and adds a cap_capable call in privilege check. - TPM as usual has a bunch of fixes and enhancements. - Multiple calls to security_add_hooks() can now be made for the same LSM, to allow LSMs to have hook declarations across multiple files. - IMA now supports different "ima_appraise=" modes (eg. log, fix) from the boot command line. * 'next' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jmorris/linux-security: (126 commits) apparmor: put back designators in struct initialisers seccomp: Switch from atomic_t to recount_t seccomp: Adjust selftests to avoid double-join seccomp: Clean up core dump logic IMA: update IMA policy documentation to include pcr= option ima: Log the same audit cause whenever a file has no signature ima: Simplify policy_func_show. integrity: Small code improvements ima: fix get_binary_runtime_size() ima: use ima_parse_buf() to parse template data ima: use ima_parse_buf() to parse measurements headers ima: introduce ima_parse_buf() ima: Add cgroups2 to the defaults list ima: use memdup_user_nul ima: fix up #endif comments IMA: Correct Kconfig dependencies for hash selection ima: define is_ima_appraise_enabled() ima: define Kconfig IMA_APPRAISE_BOOTPARAM option ima: define a set of appraisal rules requiring file signatures ima: extend the "ima_policy" boot command line to support multiple policies ...

In addition to that, support for a few new pieces of hardware is added, the PCI/ACPI device wakeup infrastructure is simplified significantly and the wakeup IRQ framework is fixed to unbreak the IRQ bus locking infrastructure. Also, there are some functional improvements for intel_pstate, tools updates and small fixes and cleanups all over. Specifics: - Rework suspend-to-idle to allow it to take wakeup events signaled by the EC into account on ACPI-based platforms in order to properly support power button wakeup from suspend-to-idle on recent Dell laptops (Rafael Wysocki). That includes the core suspend-to-idle code rework, support for the Low Power S0 _DSM interface, and support for the ACPI INT0002 Virtual GPIO device from Hans de Goede (required for USB keyboard wakeup from suspend-to-idle to work on some machines). - Stop trying to export the current CPU frequency via /proc/cpuinfo on x86 as that is inaccurate and confusing (Len Brown). - Rework the way in which the current CPU frequency is exported by the kernel (over the cpufreq sysfs interface) on x86 systems with the APERF and MPERF registers by always using values read from these registers, when available, to compute the current frequency regardless of which cpufreq driver is in use (Len Brown). - Rework the PCI/ACPI device wakeup infrastructure to remove the questionable and artificial distinction between "devices that can wake up the system from sleep states" and "devices that can generate wakeup signals in the working state" from it, which allows the code to be simplified quite a bit (Rafael Wysocki). - Fix the wakeup IRQ framework by making it use SRCU instead of RCU which doesn't allow sleeping in the read-side critical sections, but which in turn is expected to be allowed by the IRQ bus locking infrastructure (Thomas Gleixner). - Modify some computations in the intel_pstate driver to avoid rounding errors resulting from them (Srinivas Pandruvada). - Reduce the overhead of the intel_pstate driver in the HWP (hardware-managed P-states) mode and when the "performance" P-state selection algorithm is in use by making it avoid registering scheduler callbacks in those cases (Len Brown). - Rework the energy_performance_preference sysfs knob in intel_pstate by changing the values that correspond to different symbolic hint names used by it (Len Brown). - Make it possible to use more than one cpuidle driver at the same time on ARM (Daniel Lezcano). - Make it possible to prevent the cpuidle menu governor from using the 0 state by disabling it via sysfs (Nicholas Piggin). - Add support for FFH (Fixed Functional Hardware) MWAIT in ACPI C1 on AMD systems (Yazen Ghannam). - Make the CPPC cpufreq driver take the lowest nonlinear performance information into account (Prashanth Prakash). - Add support for hi3660 to the cpufreq-dt driver, fix the imx6q driver and clean up the sfi, exynos5440 and intel_pstate drivers (Colin Ian King, Krzysztof Kozlowski, Octavian Purdila, Rafael Wysocki, Tao Wang). - Fix a few minor issues in the generic power domains (genpd) framework and clean it up somewhat (Krzysztof Kozlowski, Mikko Perttunen, Viresh Kumar). - Fix a couple of minor issues in the operating performance points (OPP) framework and clean it up somewhat (Viresh Kumar). - Fix a CONFIG dependency in the hibernation core and clean it up slightly (Balbir Singh, Arvind Yadav, BaoJun Luo). - Add rk3228 support to the rockchip-io adaptive voltage scaling (AVS) driver (David Wu). - Fix an incorrect bit shift operation in the RAPL power capping driver (Adam Lessnau). - Add support for the EPP field in the HWP (hardware managed P-states) control register, HWP.EPP, to the x86_energy_perf_policy tool and update msr-index.h with HWP.EPP values (Len Brown). - Fix some minor issues in the turbostat tool (Len Brown). - Add support for AMD family 0x17 CPUs to the cpupower tool and fix a minor issue in it (Sherry Hurwitz). - Assorted cleanups, mostly related to the constification of some data structures (Arvind Yadav, Joe Perches, Kees Cook, Krzysztof Kozlowski)" * tag 'pm-4.13-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm: (69 commits) cpufreq: Update scaling_cur_freq documentation cpufreq: intel_pstate: Clean up after performance governor changes PM: hibernate: constify attribute_group structures. cpuidle: menu: allow state 0 to be disabled intel_idle: Use more common logging style PM / Domains: Fix missing default_power_down_ok comment PM / Domains: Fix unsafe iteration over modified list of domains PM / Domains: Fix unsafe iteration over modified list of domain providers PM / Domains: Fix unsafe iteration over modified list of device links PM / Domains: Handle safely genpd_syscore_switch() call on non-genpd device PM / Domains: Call driver's noirq callbacks PM / core: Drop run_wake flag from struct dev_pm_info PCI / PM: Simplify device wakeup settings code PCI / PM: Drop pme_interrupt flag from struct pci_dev ACPI / PM: Consolidate device wakeup settings code ACPI / PM: Drop run_wake from struct acpi_device_wakeup_flags PM / QoS: constify *_attribute_group.

2017-06-29cpufreq: Update scaling_cur_freq documentationRafael J. Wysocki
Commit f8475cef9008 "x86: use common aperfmperf_khz_on_cpu() to calculate KHz using APERF/MPERF" modified the way the scaling_cur_freq cpufreq policy attribute in sysfs is handled on contemporary Intel-based x86 systems, so update the documentation to reflect that change.

2017-06-29cpufreq: intel_pstate: Clean up after performance governor changesRafael J. Wysocki
After commit 82b4e03e01bc (intel_pstate: skip scheduler hook when in "performance" mode) get_target_pstate_use_performance() and get_target_pstate_use_cpu_load() are never called if scaling_governor is "performance", so drop the CPUFREQ_POLICY_PERFORMANCE checks from them as they will never trigger anyway. Moreover, the documentation needs to be updated to reflect the change made by the above commit, so do that too. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

2017-06-23Docs: fix table problems in ras.rstJonathan Corbet
Two table problems caused the PDF build to fail: - Evidently multirow cells are not appreciated in table headers, so remove such from the "CS Rows" table. - The logging message structure table was incorrectly formatted, with two "+" instead of "|". The HTML build is forgiving of such things, but PDF is not. Acked-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@s-opensource.com> Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net>

2017-06-21ima: define a set of appraisal rules requiring file signaturesMimi Zohar
The builtin "ima_appraise_tcb" policy should require file signatures for at least a few of the hooks (eg. kernel modules, firmware, and the kexec kernel image), but changing it would break the existing userspace/kernel ABI. This patch defines a new builtin policy named "secure_boot", which can be specified on the "ima_policy=" boot command line, independently or in conjunction with the "ima_appraise_tcb" policy, by specifing ima_policy="appraise_tcb | secure_boot". The new appraisal rules requiring file signatures will be added prior to the "ima_appraise_tcb" rules. Signed-off-by: Mimi Zohar <zohar@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Changelog: - Reference secure boot in the new builtin policy name. (Thiago Bauermann)

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.
