Pull x86 mm updates from Ingo Molnar:
"The main x86 MM changes in this cycle were:
- continued native kernel PCID support preparation patches to the TLB
flushing code (Andy Lutomirski)
- various fixes related to 32-bit compat syscall returning address
over 4Gb in applications, launched from 64-bit binaries - motivated
by C/R frameworks such as Virtuozzo. (Dmitry Safonov)

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/egtvedt/linux-avr32
Pull AVR32 removal from Hans-Christian Noren Egtvedt:
"This will remove support for AVR32 architecture from the kernel and
clean away the most obvious architecture related parts. Removing dead
code in drivers is the next step"
Notes from previous discussion about this:
"The AVR32 architecture is not keeping up with the development of the
kernel, and since it shares so much of the drivers with Atmel ARM SoC,
it is starting to hinder these drivers to develop swiftly.
Also, all AVR32 AP7 SoC processors are end of lifed from Atmel (now
Microchip).
Finally, the GCC toolchain is stuck at version 4.2.x, and has not
received any patches since the last release from Atmel;
4.2.4-atmel.1.1.3.avr32linux.1.
When building kernel v4.10, this toolchain is no longer able to
properly link the network stack.
Haavard and I have came to the conclusion that we feel keeping AVR32
on life support offers more obstacles for Atmel ARMs, than it gives
joy to AVR32 users. I also suspect there are very few AVR32 users left
today, if anybody at all"
That discussion was acked by Andy Shevchenko, Boris Brezillon, Nicolas
Ferre, and Haavard Skinnemoen.
* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/egtvedt/linux-avr32:

Pull ACPI updates from Rafael Wysocki:
"These are some device enumeration code changes, updates of the AC and
battery drivers to help them avoid attaching to devices that cannot be
handled by them, new operation region driver for the Intel CHT Whiskey
Cove PMIC, new sysfs entries for CPPC performance capabilities, a new
_REV quirk blacklist entry and a couple of assorted minor fixes and
cleanups.
Specifics:
- Update the core device enumeration code to make it more internally
consistent and robust and drop the force_remove sysfs attribute
that could be used to tell it to ignore errors on device
hot-removal which was dangerous in general and no real and still
relevant use cases for it could be found (Rafael Wysocki, Michal
Hocko).
- Make the core device enumeration code use _PXM to associate
platform devices created by it with specific NUMA nodes (Shanker
Donthineni).
- Extend the CPPC library by adding more sysfs entries for
performance capabilities to it and making it use the lowest
nonlinear performance parameter (Prashanth Prakash).
- Make the CPU online more consistent with CPU initialization in the
ACPI processor driver (Prashanth Prakash).
- Update the AC and battery drivers to help them avoid attaching to
devices that cannot be handled by them and update the
axp288_charger power supply driver to work correctly on ACPI
systems without the INT3496 device (Hans de Goede).
- Add an ACPI operation region driver for the Intel CHT Whiskey Cove
PMIC and update the xpower operation region driver to work without
IIO which isn't really necessary for it to work (Hans de Goede).
- Add a new entry for Dell Inspiron 7537 to the _REV quirk blacklist

symbols and comments to it (Dmitry Frank).
- Update ACPI documentation and drop a function that has no users
from the tables-handling code (Cao jin, Baoquan He)"

Pull power management updates from Rafael Wysocki:
"This time the majority of changes go to the cpufreq subsystem (and to
the intel_pstate driver in particular) and there are some updates in
the generic power domains framework, cpuidle, tools and a couple of
other places.
One thing worth mentioning is that the intel_pstate's sysfs interface
has been reworked to be more consistent with the general expectations
of the cpufreq core and less confusing, hopefully for the better.
Also, we have a new cpufreq driver for Tegra186 and new hardware
support in intel_pstata and the Mediatek cpufreq driver.
Apart from that, the AnalyzeSuspend utility for system suspend
profiling gets a companion called AnalyzeBoot for the analogous
profiling of system boot and they both go into one place under
tools/power/pm-graph/.
The rest is mostly fixes, cleanups and code reorganization.
Specifics:
- Rework the intel_pstate driver's sysfs interface to make it more
straightforward and more intuitive (Rafael Wysocki).
- Make intel_pstate support all processors which advertise HWP
(hardware-managed P-states) to the kernel in all operation modes
and make it use the load-based P-state selection algorithm on a
wider range of systems in the active mode (Rafael Wysocki).
- Add cpufreq driver for Tegra186 (Mikko Perttunen).
- Add support for Gemini Lake SoCs to intel_pstate (David Box).
- Add support for MT8176 and MT817x to the Mediatek cpufreq driver
and clean up that driver a bit (Daniel Kurtz).
- Clean up intel_pstate and optimize it slightly (Rafael Wysocki).
- Update the schedutil cpufreq governor, mostly to fix a couple of
issues with it related to specific workloads, and rework its sysfs
tunable and initialization a bit (Rafael Wysocki, Viresh Kumar).
- Fix minor issues in the imx6q, dbx500 and qoriq cpufreq drivers
(Christophe Jaillet, Irina Tirdea, Leonard Crestez, Viresh Kumar,
YuanTian Tang).
- Add file patterns for cpufreq DT bindings to MAINTAINERS (Geert
Uytterhoeven).
- Add support for "always on" power domains to the genpd (generic
power domains) framework and clean up that code somewhat (Ulf
Hansson, Lina Iyer, Viresh Kumar).
- Fix minor issues in the powernv cpuidle driver and clean it up
(Anton Blanchard, Gautham Shenoy).
- Move the AnalyzeSuspend utility under tools/power/pm-graph/ and add
an analogous boot-profiling utility called AnalyzeBoot to it (Todd
Brandt).
- Add rk3328 support to the rockchip-io AVS (Adaptive Voltage
Scaling) driver (David Wu).
- Fix minor issues in the cpuidle core, the intel_pstate_tracer
utility, the devfreq framework and the PM core documentation
(Chanwoo Choi, Doug Smythies, Johan Hovold, Marcin Nowakowski)"

Document the fact that the autosuspend delay and enable helpers may
change the power.usage_count and resume or suspend a device depending on
the values of power.autosuspend_delay and power.use_autosuspend.
Note that this means that a driver must disable autosuspend before
disabling runtime pm on probe errors and on driver unbind if the device
is to be suspended upon return (as a negative delay may otherwise keep
the device resumed).

Update the autosuspend documentation which claimed that the autosuspend
delay is not taken into account when using the non-autosuspend helper
functions, something which is no longer true since commit d66e6db28df3
("PM / Runtime: Respect autosuspend when idle triggers suspend").
This specifically means that drivers must now disable autosuspend before
disabling runtime pm in probe error paths and remove callbacks if
pm_runtime_put_sync was being used to suspend the device before
returning. (If an idle callback can prevent suspend,
pm_runtime_put_sync_suspend must be used instead of pm_runtime_put_sync
as before.)
Also remove the claim that the autosuspend helpers behave "just like
the non-autosuspend counterparts", something which have never really
been true as some of the latter use idle notifications.

This patch introduces a simple heuristic to load applications quickly,
and to perform the I/O requested by interactive applications just as
quickly. To this purpose, both a newly-created queue and a queue
associated with an interactive application (we explain in a moment how
BFQ decides whether the associated application is interactive),
receive the following two special treatments:
1) The weight of the queue is raised.
2) The queue unconditionally enjoys device idling when it empties; in
fact, if the requests of a queue are sync, then performing device
idling for the queue is a necessary condition to guarantee that the
queue receives a fraction of the throughput proportional to its weight
(see [1] for details).
For brevity, we call just weight-raising the combination of these
two preferential treatments. For a newly-created queue,
weight-raising starts immediately and lasts for a time interval that:
1) depends on the device speed and type (rotational or
non-rotational), and 2) is equal to the time needed to load (start up)
a large-size application on that device, with cold caches and with no
additional workload.
Finally, as for guaranteeing a fast execution to interactive,
I/O-related tasks (such as opening a file), consider that any
interactive application blocks and waits for user input both after
starting up and after executing some task. After a while, the user may
trigger new operations, after which the application stops again, and
so on. Accordingly, the low-latency heuristic weight-raises again a
queue in case it becomes backlogged after being idle for a
sufficiently long (configurable) time. The weight-raising then lasts
for the same time as for a just-created queue.
According to our experiments, the combination of this low-latency
heuristic and of the improvements described in the previous patch
allows BFQ to guarantee a high application responsiveness.

Add complete support for full hierarchical scheduling, with a cgroups
interface. Full hierarchical scheduling is implemented through the
'entity' abstraction: both bfq_queues, i.e., the internal BFQ queues
associated with processes, and groups are represented in general by
entities. Given the bfq_queues associated with the processes belonging
to a given group, the entities representing these queues are sons of
the entity representing the group. At higher levels, if a group, say
G, contains other groups, then the entity representing G is the parent
entity of the entities representing the groups in G.
Hierarchical scheduling is performed as follows: if the timestamps of
a leaf entity (i.e., of a bfq_queue) change, and such a change lets
the entity become the next-to-serve entity for its parent entity, then
the timestamps of the parent entity are recomputed as a function of
the budget of its new next-to-serve leaf entity. If the parent entity
belongs, in its turn, to a group, and its new timestamps let it become
the next-to-serve for its parent entity, then the timestamps of the
latter parent entity are recomputed as well, and so on. When a new
bfq_queue must be set in service, the reverse path is followed: the
next-to-serve highest-level entity is chosen, then its next-to-serve
child entity, and so on, until the next-to-serve leaf entity is
reached, and the bfq_queue that this entity represents is set in
service.
Writeback is accounted for on a per-group basis, i.e., for each group,
the async I/O requests of the processes of the group are enqueued in a
distinct bfq_queue, and the entity associated with this queue is a
child of the entity associated with the group.
Weights can be assigned explicitly to groups and processes through the
cgroups interface, differently from what happens, for single
processes, if the cgroups interface is not used (as explained in the
description of the previous patch). In particular, since each node has
a full scheduler, each group can be assigned its own weight.

We tag as v0 the version of BFQ containing only BFQ's engine plus
hierarchical support. BFQ's engine is introduced by this commit, while
hierarchical support is added by next commit. We use the v0 tag to
distinguish this minimal version of BFQ from the versions containing
also the features and the improvements added by next commits. BFQ-v0
coincides with the version of BFQ submitted a few years ago [1], apart
from the introduction of preemption, described below.
BFQ is a proportional-share I/O scheduler, whose general structure,
plus a lot of code, are borrowed from CFQ.
- Each process doing I/O on a device is associated with a weight and a
(bfq_)queue.
- BFQ grants exclusive access to the device, for a while, to one queue
(process) at a time, and implements this service model by
associating every queue with a budget, measured in number of
sectors.
- After a queue is granted access to the device, the budget of the
queue is decremented, on each request dispatch, by the size of the
request.
- The in-service queue is expired, i.e., its service is suspended,
only if one of the following events occurs: 1) the queue finishes
its budget, 2) the queue empties, 3) a "budget timeout" fires.
- The budget timeout prevents processes doing random I/O from
holding the device for too long and dramatically reducing
throughput.
- Actually, as in CFQ, a queue associated with a process issuing
sync requests may not be expired immediately when it empties. In
contrast, BFQ may idle the device for a short time interval,
giving the process the chance to go on being served if it issues
a new request in time. Device idling typically boosts the
throughput on rotational devices, if processes do synchronous
and sequential I/O. In addition, under BFQ, device idling is
also instrumental in guaranteeing the desired throughput
fraction to processes issuing sync requests (see [2] for
details).
- With respect to idling for service guarantees, if several
processes are competing for the device at the same time, but
all processes (and groups, after the following commit) have
the same weight, then BFQ guarantees the expected throughput
distribution without ever idling the device. Throughput is
thus as high as possible in this common scenario.
- Queues are scheduled according to a variant of WF2Q+, named
B-WF2Q+, and implemented using an augmented rb-tree to preserve an
O(log N) overall complexity. See [2] for more details. B-WF2Q+ is
also ready for hierarchical scheduling. However, for a cleaner
logical breakdown, the code that enables and completes
hierarchical support is provided in the next commit, which focuses
exactly on this feature.
- B-WF2Q+ guarantees a tight deviation with respect to an ideal,
perfectly fair, and smooth service. In particular, B-WF2Q+
guarantees that each queue receives a fraction of the device
throughput proportional to its weight, even if the throughput
fluctuates, and regardless of: the device parameters, the current
workload and the budgets assigned to the queue.
- The last, budget-independence, property (although probably
counterintuitive in the first place) is definitely beneficial, for
the following reasons:
- First, with any proportional-share scheduler, the maximum
deviation with respect to an ideal service is proportional to
the maximum budget (slice) assigned to queues. As a consequence,
BFQ can keep this deviation tight not only because of the
accurate service of B-WF2Q+, but also because BFQ *does not*
need to assign a larger budget to a queue to let the queue
receive a higher fraction of the device throughput.
- Second, BFQ is free to choose, for every process (queue), the
budget that best fits the needs of the process, or best
leverages the I/O pattern of the process. In particular, BFQ
updates queue budgets with a simple feedback-loop algorithm that
allows a high throughput to be achieved, while still providing
tight latency guarantees to time-sensitive applications. When
the in-service queue expires, this algorithm computes the next
budget of the queue so as to:
- Let large budgets be eventually assigned to the queues
associated with I/O-bound applications performing sequential
I/O: in fact, the longer these applications are served once
got access to the device, the higher the throughput is.
- Let small budgets be eventually assigned to the queues
associated with time-sensitive applications (which typically
perform sporadic and short I/O), because, the smaller the
budget assigned to a queue waiting for service is, the sooner
B-WF2Q+ will serve that queue (Subsec 3.3 in [2]).
- Weights can be assigned to processes only indirectly, through I/O
priorities, and according to the relation:
weight = 10 * (IOPRIO_BE_NR - ioprio).
The next patch provides, instead, a cgroups interface through which
weights can be assigned explicitly.
- If several processes are competing for the device at the same time,
but all processes and groups have the same weight, then BFQ
guarantees the expected throughput distribution without ever idling
the device. It uses preemption instead. Throughput is then much
higher in this common scenario.
- ioprio classes are served in strict priority order, i.e.,
lower-priority queues are not served as long as there are
higher-priority queues. Among queues in the same class, the
bandwidth is distributed in proportion to the weight of each
queue. A very thin extra bandwidth is however guaranteed to the Idle
class, to prevent it from starving.
- If the strict_guarantees parameter is set (default: unset), then BFQ
- always performs idling when the in-service queue becomes empty;
- forces the device to serve one I/O request at a time, by
dispatching a new request only if there is no outstanding
request.
In the presence of differentiated weights or I/O-request sizes,
both the above conditions are needed to guarantee that every
queue receives its allotted share of the bandwidth (see
Documentation/block/bfq-iosched.txt for more details). Setting
strict_guarantees may evidently affect throughput.

This patch introduces pblk, a host-side translation layer for
Open-Channel SSDs to expose them like block devices. The translation
layer allows data placement decisions, and I/O scheduling to be
managed by the host, enabling users to optimize the SSD for their
specific workloads.
An open-channel SSD has a set of LUNs (parallel units) and a
collection of blocks. Each block can be read in any order, but
writes must be sequential. Writes may also fail, and if a block
requires it, must also be reset before new writes can be
applied.
To manage the constraints, pblk maintains a logical to
physical address (L2P) table, write cache, garbage
collection logic, recovery scheme, and logic to rate-limit
user I/Os versus garbage collection I/Os.
The L2P table is fully-associative and manages sectors at a
4KB granularity. Pblk stores the L2P table in two places, in
the out-of-band area of the media and on the last page of a
line. In the cause of a power failure, pblk will perform a
scan to recover the L2P table.
The user data is organized into lines. A line is data
striped across blocks and LUNs. The lines enable the host to
reduce the amount of metadata to maintain besides the user
data and makes it easier to implement RAID or erasure coding
in the future.
pblk implements multi-tenant support and can be instantiated
multiple times on the same drive. Each instance owns a
portion of the SSD - both regarding I/O bandwidth and
capacity - providing I/O isolation for each case.
Finally, pblk also exposes a sysfs interface that allows
user-space to peek into the internals of pblk. The interface
is available at /dev/block/*/pblk/ where * is the block
device name exposed.

The Kyber I/O scheduler is an I/O scheduler for fast devices designed to
scale to multiple queues. Users configure only two knobs, the target
read and synchronous write latencies, and the scheduler tunes itself to
achieve that latency goal.
The implementation is based on "tokens", built on top of the scalable
bitmap library. Tokens serve as a mechanism for limiting requests. There
are two tiers of tokens: queueing tokens and dispatch tokens.
A queueing token is required to allocate a request. In fact, these
tokens are actually the blk-mq internal scheduler tags, but the
scheduler manages the allocation directly in order to implement its
policy.
Dispatch tokens are device-wide and split up into two scheduling
domains: reads vs. writes. Each hardware queue dispatches batches
round-robin between the scheduling domains as long as tokens are
available for that domain.
These tokens can be used as the mechanism to enable various policies.
The policy Kyber uses is inspired by active queue management techniques
for network routing, similar to blk-wbt. The scheduler monitors
latencies and scales the number of dispatch tokens accordingly. Queueing
tokens are used to prevent starvation of synchronous requests by
asynchronous requests.
Various extensions are possible, including better heuristics and ionice
support. The new scheduler isn't set as the default yet.

This drivers was added in 2008, but as far as a I can tell we never had a
single platform that actually registered resources for the platform driver.
It's also been unmaintained for a long time and apparently has a ATA mode
that can be driven using the IDE/libata subsystem.

The DT binding document for LTC2941 and LTC2943 battery gauges did not use
a vendor prefix in the listed compatible strings. The driver says that the
manufacturer is Linear Technology which is "lltc" in vendor-prefixes.txt.
There isn't an upstream Device Tree source file that has nodes defined for
these devices, so there's no need to keep the old compatible strings.

The custom CPCAP PMIC used on Motorola phones such as Droid 4 has a
USB battery charger. It can optionally also have a companion chip that
is used for wireless charging.
The charger on CPCAP also can feed VBUS for the USB host mode. This
can be handled by the existing kernel phy_companion interface.

/sys/firmware/acpi/hotplug/force_remove was presumably added to support
auto offlining in the past. This is, however, inherently dangerous for
some hotplugable resources like memory. The memory offlining fails when
the memory is still in use and cannot be dropped or migrated. If we
ignore the failure we are basically allowing for subtle memory
corruption or a crash.
We have actually noticed the later while hitting BUG() during the memory
hotremove (remove_memory):
ret = walk_memory_range(PFN_DOWN(start), PFN_UP(start + size - 1), NULL,
check_memblock_offlined_cb);
if (ret)
BUG();
it took us quite non-trivial time realize that the customer had
force_remove enabled. Even if the BUG was removed here and we could
propagate the error up the call chain it wouldn't help at all because
then we would hit a crash or a memory corruption later and harder to
debug. So force_remove is unfixable for the memory hotremove. We haven't
checked other hotplugable resources to be prone to a similar problems.
Remove the force_remove functionality because it is not fixable currently.
Keep the sysfs file and report an error if somebody tries to enable it.
Encourage users to report about the missing functionality and work with
them with an alternative solution.
