Pull Documentation updates from Jonathan Corbet:
"It's been a relatively busy cycle for docs:
- A fair pile of RST conversions, many from Mauro. These create more
than the usual number of simple but annoying merge conflicts with
other trees, unfortunately. He has a lot more of these waiting on
the wings that, I think, will go to you directly later on.
- A new document on how to use merges and rebases in kernel repos,
and one on Spectre vulnerabilities.
- Various improvements to the build system, including automatic
markup of function() references because some people, for reasons I
will never understand, were of the opinion that
:c:func:``function()`` is unattractive and not fun to type.
- We now recommend using sphinx 1.7, but still support back to 1.4.
- Lots of smaller improvements, warning fixes, typo fixes, etc"

Pull force_sig() argument change from Eric Biederman:
"A source of error over the years has been that force_sig has taken a
task parameter when it is only safe to use force_sig with the current
task.
The force_sig function is built for delivering synchronous signals
such as SIGSEGV where the userspace application caused a synchronous
fault (such as a page fault) and the kernel responded with a signal.
Because the name force_sig does not make this clear, and because the
force_sig takes a task parameter the function force_sig has been
abused for sending other kinds of signals over the years. Slowly those
have been fixed when the oopses have been tracked down.
This set of changes fixes the remaining abusers of force_sig and
carefully rips out the task parameter from force_sig and friends
making this kind of error almost impossible in the future"

Pull integrity updates from Mimi Zohar:
"Bug fixes, code clean up, and new features:
- IMA policy rules can be defined in terms of LSM labels, making the
IMA policy dependent on LSM policy label changes, in particular LSM
label deletions. The new environment, in which IMA-appraisal is
being used, frequently updates the LSM policy and permits LSM label
deletions.
- Prevent an mmap'ed shared file opened for write from also being
mmap'ed execute. In the long term, making this and other similar
changes at the VFS layer would be preferable.
- The IMA per policy rule template format support is needed for a
couple of new/proposed features (eg. kexec boot command line
measurement, appended signatures, and VFS provided file hashes).
- Other than the "boot-aggregate" record in the IMA measuremeent
list, all other measurements are of file data. Measuring and
storing the kexec boot command line in the IMA measurement list is
the first buffer based measurement included in the measurement

Pull scheduler updates from Ingo Molnar:
- Remove the unused per rq load array and all its infrastructure, by

- Add utilization clamping support by Patrick Bellasi. This is a
refinement of the energy aware scheduling framework with support for
boosting of interactive and capping of background workloads: to make
sure critical GUI threads get maximum frequency ASAP, and to make
sure background processing doesn't unnecessarily move to cpufreq
governor to higher frequencies and less energy efficient CPU modes.
- Add the bare minimum of tracepoints required for LISA EAS regression
testing, by Qais Yousef - which allows automated testing of various
power management features, including energy aware scheduling.
- Restructure the former tsk_nr_cpus_allowed() facility that the -rt
kernel used to modify the scheduler's CPU affinity logic such as
migrate_disable() - introduce the task->cpus_ptr value instead of
taking the address of &task->cpus_allowed directly - by Sebastian
Andrzej Siewior.

Pull locking updates from Ingo Molnar:
"The main changes in this cycle are:
- rwsem scalability improvements, phase #2, by Waiman Long, which are
rather impressive:
"On a 2-socket 40-core 80-thread Skylake system with 40 reader
and writer locking threads, the min/mean/max locking operations
done in a 5-second testing window before the patchset were:
40 readers, Iterations Min/Mean/Max = 1,807/1,808/1,810
40 writers, Iterations Min/Mean/Max = 1,807/50,344/151,255
After the patchset, they became:
40 readers, Iterations Min/Mean/Max = 30,057/31,359/32,741
40 writers, Iterations Min/Mean/Max = 94,466/95,845/97,098"
There's a lot of changes to the locking implementation that makes
it similar to qrwlock, including owner handoff for more fair
locking.
Another microbenchmark shows how across the spectrum the
improvements are:
"With a locking microbenchmark running on 5.1 based kernel, the
total locking rates (in kops/s) on a 2-socket Skylake system
with equal numbers of readers and writers (mixed) before and
after this patchset were:
# of Threads Before Patch After Patch
------------ ------------ -----------
2 2,618 4,193
4 1,202 3,726
8 802 3,622
16 729 3,359
32 319 2,826
64 102 2,744"
The changes are extensive and the patch-set has been through
several iterations addressing various locking workloads. There
might be more regressions, but unless they are pathological I
believe we want to use this new implementation as the baseline
going forward.
- jump-label optimizations by Daniel Bristot de Oliveira: the primary
motivation was to remove IPI disturbance of isolated RT-workload
CPUs, which resulted in the implementation of batched jump-label
updates. Beyond the improvement of the real-time characteristics
kernel, in one test this patchset improved static key update
overhead from 57 msecs to just 1.4 msecs - which is a nice speedup
as well.
- atomic64_t cross-arch type cleanups by Mark Rutland: over the last
~10 years of atomic64_t existence the various types used by the
APIs only had to be self-consistent within each architecture -
which means they became wildly inconsistent across architectures.
Mark puts and end to this by reworking all the atomic64
implementations to use 's64' as the base type for atomic64_t, and
to ensure that this type is consistently used for parameters and
return values in the API, avoiding further problems in this area.
- A large set of small improvements to lockdep by Yuyang Du: type
cleanups, output cleanups, function return type and othr cleanups
all around the place.
- A set of percpu ops cleanups and fixes by Peter Zijlstra.
- Misc other changes - please see the Git log for more details"

Pull x86 CPU feature updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"Updates for x86 CPU features:
- Support for UMWAIT/UMONITOR, which allows to use MWAIT and MONITOR
instructions in user space to save power e.g. in HPC workloads
which spin wait on synchronization points.
The maximum time a MWAIT can halt in userspace is controlled by the
kernel and can be adjusted by the sysadmin.
- Speed up the MTRR handling code on CPUs which support cache
self-snooping correctly.
On those CPUs the wbinvd() invocations can be omitted which speeds
up the MTRR setup by a factor of 50.
- Support for the new x86 vendor Zhaoxin who develops processors
based on the VIA Centaur technology.
- Prevent 'cat /proc/cpuinfo' from affecting isolated NOHZ_FULL CPUs
by sending IPIs to retrieve the CPU frequency and use the cached
values instead.
- The addition and late revert of the FSGSBASE support. The revert
was required as it turned out that the code still has hard to
diagnose issues. Yet another engineering trainwreck...

Pull x96 apic updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"Updates for the x86 APIC interrupt handling and APIC timer:
- Fix a long standing issue with spurious interrupts which was caused
by the big vector management rework a few years ago. Robert Hodaszi
provided finally enough debug data and an excellent initial failure
analysis which allowed to understand the underlying issues.
This contains a change to the core interrupt management code which
is required to handle this correctly for the APIC/IO_APIC. The core
changes are NOOPs for most architectures except ARM64. ARM64 is not
impacted by the change as confirmed by Marc Zyngier.
- Newer systems allow to disable the PIT clock for power saving
causing panic in the timer interrupt delivery check of the IO/APIC
when the HPET timer is not enabled either. While the clock could be
turned on this would cause an endless whack a mole game to chase
the proper register in each affected chipset.
These systems provide the relevant frequencies for TSC, CPU and the
local APIC timer via CPUID and/or MSRs, which allows to avoid the
PIT/HPET based calibration. As the calibration code is the only
usage of the legacy timers on modern systems and is skipped anyway
when the frequencies are known already, there is no point in
setting up the PIT and actually checking for the interrupt delivery
via IO/APIC.
To achieve this on a wide variety of platforms, the CPUID/MSR based
frequency readout has been made more robust, which also allowed to
remove quite some workarounds which turned out to be not longer
required. Thanks to Daniel Drake for analysis, patches and
verification"

The command line option `no387' is designed to disable the FPU
entirely. This only 'works' with CONFIG_MATH_EMULATION enabled.
But on 64bit this cannot work because user space expects SSE to work which
required basic FPU support. MATH_EMULATION does not help because SSE is not
emulated.
The command line option `nofxsr' should also be limited to 32bit because
FXSR is part of the required flags on 64bit so turning it off is not
possible.
Clearing X86_FEATURE_FPU without emulation enabled will not work anyway and
hang in fpu__init_system_early_generic() before the console is enabled.
Setting additioal dependencies, ensures that the CPU still boots on a
modern CPU. Otherwise, dropping FPU will leave FXSR enabled causing the
kernel to crash early in fpu__init_system_mxcsr().
With XSAVE support it will crash in fpu__init_cpu_xstate(). The problem is
that xsetbv() with XMM set and SSE cleared is not allowed. That means
XSAVE has to be disabled. The XSAVE support is disabled in
fpu__init_system_xstate_size_legacy() but it is too late. It can be
removed, it has been added in commit
1f999ab5a1360 ("x86, xsave: Disable xsave in i387 emulation mode")
to use `no387' on a CPU with XSAVE support.
All this happens before console output.
After hat, the next possible crash is in RAID6 detect code because MMX
remained enabled. With a 3DNOW enabled config it will explode in memcpy()
for instance due to kernel_fpu_begin() but this is unconditionally enabled.
This is enough to boot a Debian Wheezy on a 32bit qemu "host" CPU which
supports everything up to XSAVES, AVX2 without 3DNOW. Later, Debian
increased the minimum requirements to i686 which means it does not boot
userland atleast due to CMOV.
After masking the additional features it still keeps SSE4A and 3DNOW*
enabled (if present on the host) but those are unused in the kernel.
Restrict `no387' and `nofxsr' otions to 32bit only. Add dependencies for
FPU, FXSR to additionaly mask CMOV, MMX, XSAVE if FXSR or FPU is cleared.

The FSGSBASE series turned out to have serious bugs and there is still an
open issue which is not fully understood yet.
The confidence in those changes has become close to zero especially as the
test cases which have been shipped with that series were obviously never
run before sending the final series out to LKML.
./fsgsbase_64 >/dev/null
Segmentation fault
As the merge window is close, the only sane decision is to revert FSGSBASE
support. The revert is necessary as this branch has been merged into
perf/core already and rebasing all of that a few days before the merge
window is not the most brilliant idea.
I could definitely slap myself for not noticing the test case fail when
merging that series, but TBH my expectations weren't that low back
then. Won't happen again.

Hyper-V clock/timer code and data structures are currently mixed
in with other code in the ISA independent drivers/hv directory as
well as the ISA dependent Hyper-V code under arch/x86.
Consolidate this code and data structures into a Hyper-V clocksource driver
to better follow the Linux model. In doing so, separate out the ISA
dependent portions so the new clocksource driver works for x86 and for the
in-process Hyper-V on ARM64 code.
To start, move the existing clockevents code to create the new clocksource
driver. Update the VMbus driver to call initialization and cleanup routines
since the Hyper-V synthetic timers are not independently enumerated in
ACPI.
No behavior is changed and no new functionality is added.

Quite some time ago the interrupt entry stubs for unused vectors in the
system vector range got removed and directly mapped to the spurious
interrupt vector entry point.
Sounds reasonable, but it's subtly broken. The spurious interrupt vector
entry point pushes vector number 0xFF on the stack which makes the whole
logic in __smp_spurious_interrupt() pointless.
As a consequence any spurious interrupt which comes from a vector != 0xFF
is treated as a real spurious interrupt (vector 0xFF) and not
acknowledged. That subsequently stalls all interrupt vectors of equal and
lower priority, which brings the system to a grinding halt.
This can happen because even on 64-bit the system vector space is not
guaranteed to be fully populated. A full compile time handling of the
unused vectors is not possible because quite some of them are conditonally
populated at runtime.
Bring the entry stubs back, which wastes 160 bytes if all stubs are unused,
but gains the proper handling back. There is no point to selectively spare
some of the stubs which are known at compile time as the required code in
the IDT management would be way larger and convoluted.
Do not route the spurious entries through common_interrupt and do_IRQ() as
the original code did. Route it to smp_spurious_interrupt() which evaluates
the vector number and acts accordingly now that the real vector numbers are
handed in.
Fixup the pr_warn so the actual spurious vector (0xff) is clearly
distiguished from the other vectors and also note for the vectored case
whether it was pending in the ISR or not.
"Spurious APIC interrupt (vector 0xFF) on CPU#0, should never happen."
"Spurious interrupt vector 0xed on CPU#1. Acked."
"Spurious interrupt vector 0xee on CPU#1. Not pending!."

Since the rework of the vector management, warnings about spurious
interrupts have been reported. Robert provided some more information and
did an initial analysis. The following situation leads to these warnings:
CPU 0 CPU 1 IO_APIC
interrupt is raised
sent to CPU1
Unable to handle
immediately
(interrupts off,
deep idle delay)
mask()
...
free()
shutdown()
synchronize_irq()
clear_vector()
do_IRQ()
-> vector is clear
Before the rework the vector entries of legacy interrupts were statically
assigned and occupied precious vector space while most of them were
unused. Due to that the above situation was handled silently because the
vector was handled and the core handler of the assigned interrupt
descriptor noticed that it is shut down and returned.
While this has been usually observed with legacy interrupts, this situation
is not limited to them. Any other interrupt source, e.g. MSI, can cause the
same issue.
After adding proper synchronization for level triggered interrupts, this
can only happen for edge triggered interrupts where the IO-APIC obviously
cannot provide information about interrupts in flight.
While the spurious warning is actually harmless in this case it worries
users and driver developers.
Handle it gracefully by marking the vector entry as VECTOR_SHUTDOWN instead
of VECTOR_UNUSED when the vector is freed up.
If that above late handling happens the spurious detector will not complain
and switch the entry to VECTOR_UNUSED. Any subsequent spurious interrupt on
that line will trigger the spurious warning as before.

When an interrupt is shut down in free_irq() there might be an inflight
interrupt pending in the IO-APIC remote IRR which is not yet serviced. That
means the interrupt has been sent to the target CPUs local APIC, but the
target CPU is in a state which delays the servicing.
So free_irq() would proceed to free resources and to clear the vector
because synchronize_hardirq() does not see an interrupt handler in
progress.
That can trigger a spurious interrupt warning, which is harmless and just
confuses users, but it also can leave the remote IRR in a stale state
because once the handler is invoked the interrupt resources might be freed
already and therefore acknowledgement is not possible anymore.
Implement the irq_get_irqchip_state() callback for the IO-APIC irq chip. The
callback is invoked from free_irq() via __synchronize_hardirq(). Check the
remote IRR bit of the interrupt and return 'in flight' if it is set and the
interrupt is configured in level mode. For edge mode the remote IRR has no
meaning.
As this is only meaningful for level triggered interrupts this won't cure
the potential spurious interrupt warning for edge triggered interrupts, but
the edge trigger case does not result in stale hardware state. This has to
be addressed at the vector/interrupt entry level seperately.

Recent Intel chipsets including Skylake and ApolloLake have a special
ITSSPRC register which allows the 8254 PIT to be gated. When gated, the
8254 registers can still be programmed as normal, but there are no IRQ0
timer interrupts.
Some products such as the Connex L1430 and exone go Rugged E11 use this
register to ship with the PIT gated by default. This causes Linux to fail
to boot:
Kernel panic - not syncing: IO-APIC + timer doesn't work! Boot with
apic=debug and send a report.
The panic happens before the framebuffer is initialized, so to the user, it
appears as an early boot hang on a black screen.
Affected products typically have a BIOS option that can be used to enable
the 8254 and make Linux work (Chipset -> South Cluster Configuration ->
Miscellaneous Configuration -> 8254 Clock Gating), however it would be best
to make Linux support the no-8254 case.
Modern sytems allow to discover the TSC and local APIC timer frequencies,
so the calibration against the PIT is not required. These systems have
always running timers and the local APIC timer works also in deep power
states.
So the setup of the PIT including the IO-APIC timer interrupt delivery
checks are a pointless exercise.
Skip the PIT setup and the IO-APIC timer interrupt checks on these systems,
which avoids the panic caused by non ticking PITs and also speeds up the
boot process.
Thanks to Daniel for providing the changelog, initial analysis of the
problem and testing against a variety of machines.

ftrace_arch_code_modify_prepare()
Taking the text_mutex in ftrace_arch_code_modify_prepare() is to fix a
race against module loading and live kernel patching that might try to
change the text permissions while ftrace has it as read/write. This
really needs to be documented in the code. Add a comment that does such.

Possible unsafe locking scenario:

---- ----
lock(text_mutex);
lock(cpu_hotplug_lock.rw_sem);
lock(text_mutex);
lock(cpu_hotplug_lock.rw_sem);
It is similar problem that has been solved by the commit 2d1e38f56622b9b
("kprobes: Cure hotplug lock ordering issues"). Many locks are involved.
To be on the safe side, text_mutex must become a low level lock taken
after cpu_hotplug_lock.rw_sem.
This can't be achieved easily with the current ftrace design.
For example, arm calls set_all_modules_text_rw() already in
ftrace_arch_code_modify_prepare(), see arch/arm/kernel/ftrace.c.
This functions is called:
+ outside stop_machine() from ftrace_run_update_code()
+ without stop_machine() from ftrace_module_enable()
Fortunately, the problematic fix is needed only on x86_64. It is
the only architecture that calls set_all_modules_text_rw()
in ftrace path and supports livepatching at the same time.
Therefore it is enough to move text_mutex handling from the generic
kernel/trace/ftrace.c into arch/x86/kernel/ftrace.c:
ftrace_arch_code_modify_prepare()
ftrace_arch_code_modify_post_process()
This patch basically reverts the ftrace part of the problematic
commit 9f255b632bf12c4dd7 ("module: Fix livepatch/ftrace module
text permissions race"). And provides x86_64 specific-fix.
Some refactoring of the ftrace code will be needed when livepatching
is implemented for arm or nds32. These architectures call
set_all_modules_text_rw() and use stop_machine() at the same time.

Programming MTRR registers in multi-processor systems is a rather lengthy
process. Furthermore, all processors must program these registers in lock
step and with interrupts disabled; the process also involves flushing
caches and TLBs twice. As a result, the process may take a considerable
amount of time.
On some platforms, this can lead to a large skew of the refined-jiffies
clock source. Early when booting, if no other clock is available (e.g.,
booting with hpet=disabled), the refined-jiffies clock source is used to
monitor the TSC clock source. If the skew of refined-jiffies is too large,
Linux wrongly assumes that the TSC is unstable:
clocksource: timekeeping watchdog on CPU1: Marking clocksource
'tsc-early' as unstable because the skew is too large:
clocksource: 'refined-jiffies' wd_now: fffedc10 wd_last:
fffedb90 mask: ffffffff
clocksource: 'tsc-early' cs_now: 5eccfddebc cs_last: 5e7e3303d4
mask: ffffffffffffffff
tsc: Marking TSC unstable due to clocksource watchdog
As per measurements, around 98% of the time needed by the procedure to
program MTRRs in multi-processor systems is spent flushing caches with
wbinvd(). As per the Section 11.11.8 of the Intel 64 and IA 32
Architectures Software Developer's Manual, it is not necessary to flush
caches if the CPU supports cache self-snooping. Thus, skipping the cache
flushes can reduce by several tens of milliseconds the time needed to
complete the programming of the MTRR registers:

Processors which have self-snooping capability can handle conflicting
memory type across CPUs by snooping its own cache. However, there exists
CPU models in which having conflicting memory types still leads to
unpredictable behavior, machine check errors, or hangs.
Clear this feature on affected CPUs to prevent its use.

Restrict kdump to only reserve crashkernel below 64TB.
The reaons is that the kdump may jump from a 5-level paging mode to a
4-level paging mode kernel. If a 4-level paging mode kdump kernel is put
above 64TB, then the kdump kernel cannot start.
The 1st kernel reserves the kdump kernel region during bootup. At that
point it is not known whether the kdump kernel has 5-level or 4-level
paging support.
To support both restrict the kdump kernel reservation to the lower 64TB
address space to ensure that a 4-level paging mode kdump kernel can be
loaded and successfully started.

If the running kernel has 5-level paging activated, the 5-level paging mode
is preserved across kexec. If the kexec'ed kernel does not contain support
for handling active 5-level paging mode in the decompressor, the
decompressor will crash with #GP.
Prevent this situation at load time. If 5-level paging is active, check the
xloadflags whether the kexec kernel can handle 5-level paging at least in
the decompressor. If not, reject the load attempt and print out an error
message.

Replace the static initialization of the legacy clockevent with runtime
initialization utilizing the common init function as the last preparatory
step to switch the legacy clockevent over to the channel 0 storage in
hpet_base.
This comes with a twist. The static clockevent initializer has selected
support for periodic and oneshot mode unconditionally whether the HPET
config advertised periodic mode or not. Even the pre clockevents code did
this. But....
Using the conditional in hpet_init_clockevent() makes at least Qemu and one
hardware machine fail to boot. There are two issues which cause the boot
failure:
#1 After the timer delivery test in IOAPIC and the IOAPIC setup the next
interrupt is not delivered despite the HPET channel being programmed
correctly. Reprogramming the HPET after switching to IOAPIC makes it
work again. After fixing this, the next issue surfaces:
#2 Due to the unconditional periodic mode 'availability' the Local APIC
timer calibration can hijack the global clockevents event handler
without causing damage. Using oneshot at this stage makes if hang
because the HPET does not get reprogrammed due to the handler
hijacking. Duh, stupid me!
Both issues require major surgery and especially the kick HPET again after
enabling IOAPIC results in really nasty hackery. This 'assume periodic
works' magic has survived since HPET support got added, so it's
questionable whether this should be fixed. Both Qemu and the failing
hardware machine support periodic mode despite the fact that both don't
advertise it in the configuration register and both need that extra kick
after switching to IOAPIC. Seems to be a feature...
Keep the 'assume periodic works' magic around and add a big fat comment.

struct hpet_dev is gone with the next change as the clockevent storage
moves into struct hpet_channel. So the variable name hdev will not make
sense anymore. Ditto for timer vs. channel and similar details.
Doing the rename in the change makes the patch harder to review. Doing it
afterward is problematic vs. tracking down issues. Doing it upfront is the
easiest solution as it does not change functionality.

If CONFIG_HPET=y is enabled the x86 specific HPET code should reserve at
least one channel for the /dev/hpet character device, so that not all
channels are absorbed for per CPU clockevent devices.
Create a function to assign HPET_MODE_DEVICE so the rework of the

The function is not yet used, but provided as a separate patch for ease of
