2017-09-04Merge branch 'x86-cache-for-linus' of ↵Linus Torvalds
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip Pull x86 cache quality monitoring update from Thomas Gleixner: "This update provides a complete rewrite of the Cache Quality Monitoring (CQM) facility. The existing CQM support was duct taped into perf with a lot of issues and the attempts to fix those turned out to be incomplete and horrible. After lengthy discussions it was decided to integrate the CQM support into the Resource Director Technology (RDT) facility, which is the obvious choise as in hardware CQM is part of RDT. This allowed to add Memory Bandwidth Monitoring support on top. As a result the mechanisms for allocating cache/memory bandwidth and the corresponding monitoring mechanisms are integrated into a single management facility with a consistent user interface" * 'x86-cache-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (37 commits) x86/intel_rdt: Turn off most RDT features on Skylake x86/intel_rdt: Add command line options for resource director technology x86/intel_rdt: Move special case code for Haswell to a quirk function x86/intel_rdt: Remove redundant ternary operator on return x86/intel_rdt/cqm: Improve limbo list processing x86/intel_rdt/mbm: Fix MBM overflow handler during CPU hotplug x86/intel_rdt: Modify the intel_pqr_state for better performance x86/intel_rdt/cqm: Clear the default RMID during hotcpu x86/intel_rdt: Show bitmask of shareable resource with other executing units x86/intel_rdt/mbm: Handle counter overflow x86/intel_rdt/mbm: Add mbm counter initialization x86/intel_rdt/mbm: Basic counting of MBM events (total and local) x86/intel_rdt/cqm: Add CPU hotplug support x86/intel_rdt/cqm: Add sched_in support x86/intel_rdt: Introduce rdt_enable_key for scheduling x86/intel_rdt/cqm: Add mount,umount support x86/intel_rdt/cqm: Add rmdir support x86/intel_rdt: Separate the ctrl bits from rmdir x86/intel_rdt/cqm: Add mon_data x86/intel_rdt: Prepare for RDT monitor data support ...

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip Pull x86 mm changes from Ingo Molnar: "PCID support, 5-level paging support, Secure Memory Encryption support The main changes in this cycle are support for three new, complex hardware features of x86 CPUs: - Add 5-level paging support, which is a new hardware feature on upcoming Intel CPUs allowing up to 128 PB of virtual address space and 4 PB of physical RAM space - a 512-fold increase over the old limits. (Supercomputers of the future forecasting hurricanes on an ever warming planet can certainly make good use of more RAM.) Many of the necessary changes went upstream in previous cycles, v4.14 is the first kernel that can enable 5-level paging. This feature is activated via CONFIG_X86_5LEVEL=y - disabled by default. (By Kirill A. Shutemov) - Add 'encrypted memory' support, which is a new hardware feature on upcoming AMD CPUs ('Secure Memory Encryption', SME) allowing system RAM to be encrypted and decrypted (mostly) transparently by the CPU, with a little help from the kernel to transition to/from encrypted 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. (By Tom Lendacky) - Enable PCID optimized TLB flushing on newer Intel CPUs: PCID is a hardware feature that attaches an address space tag to TLB entries and thus allows to skip TLB flushing in many cases, even if we switch mm's. (By Andy Lutomirski) All three of these features were in the works for a long time, and it's coincidence of the three independent development paths that they are all enabled in v4.14 at once" * 'x86-mm-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (65 commits) x86/mm: Enable RCU based page table freeing (CONFIG_HAVE_RCU_TABLE_FREE=y) x86/mm: Use pr_cont() in dump_pagetable() x86/mm: Fix SME encryption stack ptr handling kvm/x86: Avoid clearing the C-bit in rsvd_bits() x86/CPU: Align CR3 defines x86/mm, mm/hwpoison: Clear PRESENT bit for kernel 1:1 mappings of poison pages acpi, x86/mm: Remove encryption mask from ACPI page protection type x86/mm, kexec: Fix memory corruption with SME on successive kexecs x86/mm/pkeys: Fix typo in Documentation/x86/protection-keys.txt x86/mm/dump_pagetables: Speed up page tables dump for CONFIG_KASAN=y x86/mm: Implement PCID based optimization: try to preserve old TLB entries using PCID x86: Enable 5-level paging support via CONFIG_X86_5LEVEL=y x86/mm: Allow userspace have mappings above 47-bit x86/mm: Prepare to expose larger address space to userspace x86/mpx: Do not allow MPX if we have mappings above 47-bit x86/mm: Rename tasksize_32bit/64bit to task_size_32bit/64bit() x86/xen: Redefine XEN_ELFNOTE_INIT_P2M using PUD_SIZE * PTRS_PER_PUD x86/mm/dump_pagetables: Fix printout of p4d level x86/mm/dump_pagetables: Generalize address normalization x86/boot: Fix memremap() related build failure ...

2017-09-04Merge branch 'x86-asm-for-linus' of ↵Linus Torvalds
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip Pull x86 asm updates from Ingo Molnar: - Introduce the ORC unwinder, which can be enabled via CONFIG_ORC_UNWINDER=y. The ORC unwinder is a lightweight, Linux kernel specific debuginfo implementation, which aims to be DWARF done right for unwinding. Objtool is used to generate the ORC unwinder tables during build, so the data format is flexible and kernel internal: there's no dependency on debuginfo created by an external toolchain. The ORC unwinder is almost two orders of magnitude faster than the (out of tree) DWARF unwinder - which is important for perf call graph profiling. It is also significantly simpler and is coded defensively: there has not been a single ORC related kernel crash so far, even with early versions. (knock on wood!) But the main advantage is that enabling the ORC unwinder allows CONFIG_FRAME_POINTERS to be turned off - which speeds up the kernel measurably: With frame pointers disabled, GCC does not have to add frame pointer instrumentation code to every function in the kernel. The kernel's .text size decreases by about 3.2%, resulting in better cache utilization and fewer instructions executed, resulting in a broad kernel-wide speedup. Average speedup of system calls should be roughly in the 1-3% range - measurements by Mel Gorman [1] have shown a speedup of 5-10% for some function execution intense workloads. The main cost of the unwinder is that the unwinder data has to be stored in RAM: the memory cost is 2-4MB of RAM, depending on kernel config - which is a modest cost on modern x86 systems. Given how young the ORC unwinder code is it's not enabled by default - but given the performance advantages the plan is to eventually make it the default unwinder on x86. See Documentation/x86/orc-unwinder.txt for more details. - Remove lguest support: its intended role was that of a temporary proof of concept for virtualization, plus its removal will enable the reduction (removal) of the paravirt API as well, so Rusty agreed to its removal. (Juergen Gross) - Clean up and fix FSGS related functionality (Andy Lutomirski) - Clean up IO access APIs (Andy Shevchenko) - Enhance the symbol namespace (Jiri Slaby) * 'x86-asm-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (47 commits) objtool: Handle GCC stack pointer adjustment bug x86/entry/64: Use ENTRY() instead of ALIGN+GLOBAL for stub32_clone() x86/fpu/math-emu: Add ENDPROC to functions x86/boot/64: Extract efi_pe_entry() from startup_64() x86/boot/32: Extract efi_pe_entry() from startup_32() x86/lguest: Remove lguest support x86/paravirt/xen: Remove xen_patch() objtool: Fix objtool fallthrough detection with function padding x86/xen/64: Fix the reported SS and CS in SYSCALL objtool: Track DRAP separately from callee-saved registers objtool: Fix validate_branch() return codes x86: Clarify/fix no-op barriers for text_poke_bp() x86/switch_to/64: Rewrite FS/GS switching yet again to fix AMD CPUs selftests/x86/fsgsbase: Test selectors 1, 2, and 3 x86/fsgsbase/64: Report FSBASE and GSBASE correctly in core dumps x86/fsgsbase/64: Fully initialize FS and GS state in start_thread_common x86/asm: Fix UNWIND_HINT_REGS macro for older binutils x86/asm/32: Fix regs_get_register() on segment registers x86/xen/64: Rearrange the SYSCALL entries x86/asm/32: Remove a bunch of '& 0xffff' from pt_regs segment reads ...

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dledford/rdma Pull rdma updates from Doug Ledford: "This is a big pull request. Of note is that I'm sending you the new ioctl API for the rdma subsystem. We put it up on linux-api@, but didn't get much response. The API is complex, but it solves two different problems in one go: 1) The bi-directional nature of the RDMA file write calls, which created the security hole we had to handle (and for which the fix is now causing problems for systems in production, we were a bit over zealous in the fix and the ability to open a device, then fork, then create new queue pairs on the device and use them is broken). 2) The bloat caused by different vendors implementing extensions to the base verbs API. Each vendor's hardware is slightly different, and the hardware might be suitable for one extension but not another. By the time we add generic extensions for all the different ways that the different hardware can offload things, the API becomes bloated. Things like our completion structs have started to exceed a cache line in size because of all the elements needed to support this. That in turn shows up heavily in the performance graphs with a noticable drop in performance on 100Gigabit links as our completion structs go from occupying one cache line to 1+. This API makes things like the completion structs modular in a very similar way to netlink so that your structs can only include the items needed for the offloads/features you are actually using on a given queue pair.

2017-08-31Documentation/sphinx: fix kernel-doc decode for non-utf-8 localeJani Nikula
On python3, Popen() universal_newlines=True converts the subprocess stdout to unicode text using a codec based on user preferences. Given LANG indicating ascii and utf-8 stdout from the subprocess, you'd get: WARNING: kernel-doc '../scripts/kernel-doc -rst -enable-lineno ../drivers/media/dvb-core/demux.h' processing failed with: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xe2 in position 6368: ordinal not in range(128) Fix this by dropping universal_newlines=True and replacing the implicit LANG specific decode with an explicit utf-8 decode. This also gets rid of the annoying conditional code for python 2 vs. 3.

A MSI controller of LS1043a v1.0 only includes one MSIR and is assigned one GIC interrupt. In order to support affinity, LS1043a v1.1 MSI is assigned 4 MSIRs and 4 GIC interrupts. But the MSIR has the different offset and only supports 8 MSIs. The bits between variable bit_start and bit_end in structure ls_scfg_msir are used to show 8 MSI interrupts. msir_irqs and msir_base are added to describe the difference of MSI between LS1043a v1.1 and other SoCs.
