Pull power management and ACPI updates from Rafael Wysocki:
"These are mostly fixes and cleanups all over, although there are a few
items that sort of fall into the new feature category.
First off, we have new callbacks for PM domains that should help us to
handle some issues related to device initialization in a better way.
There also is some consolidation in the unified device properties API
area allowing us to use that inferface for accessing data coming from
platform initialization code in addition to firmware-provided data.
We have some new device/CPU IDs in a few drivers, support for new
chips and a new cpufreq driver too.
Specifics:
- Generic PM domains support update including new PM domain callbacks
to handle device initialization better (Russell King, Rafael J
Wysocki, Kevin Hilman)

special PRP0001 device ID allowing DT-style 'compatible' property
to be used for ACPI device identification (Rafael J Wysocki)
- ACPI EC driver update including limited _DEP support (Lan Tianyu,
Lv Zheng)
- ACPI backlight driver update including a new mechanism to allow
native backlight handling to be forced on non-Windows 8 systems and
a new quirk for Lenovo Ideapad Z570 (Aaron Lu, Hans de Goede)

Memtest is a simple feature which fills the memory with a given set of
patterns and validates memory contents, if bad memory regions is detected
it reserves them via memblock API. Since memblock API is widely used by
other architectures this feature can be enabled outside of x86 world.
This patch set promotes memtest to live under generic mm umbrella and
enables memtest feature for arm/arm64.
It was reported that this patch set was useful for tracking down an issue
with some errant DMA on an arm64 platform.
This patch (of 6):
There is nothing platform dependent in the core memtest code, so other
platforms might benefit from this feature too.

The arch_randomize_brk() function is used on several architectures,
even those that don't support ET_DYN ASLR. To avoid bulky extern/#define
tricks, consolidate the support under CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_ELF_RANDOMIZE for
the architectures that support it, while still handling CONFIG_COMPAT_BRK.

This fixes the "offset2lib" weakness in ASLR for arm, arm64, mips,
powerpc, and x86. The problem is that if there is a leak of ASLR from
the executable (ET_DYN), it means a leak of shared library offset as
well (mmap), and vice versa. Further details and a PoC of this attack
is available here:
http://cybersecurity.upv.es/attacks/offset2lib/offset2lib.html
With this patch, a PIE linked executable (ET_DYN) has its own ASLR
region:

In preparation for moving ET_DYN randomization into the ELF loader (which
requires a static ELF_ET_DYN_BASE), this redefines s390's existing ET_DYN
randomization in a call to arch_mmap_rnd(). This refactoring results in
the same ET_DYN randomization on s390.

When an architecture fully supports randomizing the ELF load location,
a per-arch mmap_rnd() function is used to find a randomized mmap base.
In preparation for randomizing the location of ET_DYN binaries
separately from mmap, this renames and exports these functions as
arch_mmap_rnd(). Additionally introduces CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_ELF_RANDOMIZE
for describing this feature on architectures that support it
(which is a superset of ARCH_BINFMT_ELF_RANDOMIZE_PIE, since s390
already supports a separated ET_DYN ASLR from mmap ASLR without the
ARCH_BINFMT_ELF_RANDOMIZE_PIE logic).

To address the "offset2lib" ASLR weakness[1], this separates ET_DYN ASLR
from mmap ASLR, as already done on s390. The architectures that are
already randomizing mmap (arm, arm64, mips, powerpc, s390, and x86), have
their various forms of arch_mmap_rnd() made available via the new
CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_ELF_RANDOMIZE. For these architectures,
arch_randomize_brk() is collapsed as well.
This is an alternative to the solutions in:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/2/23/442
I've been able to test x86 and arm, and the buildbot (so far) seems happy
with building the rest.
[1] http://cybersecurity.upv.es/attacks/offset2lib/offset2lib.html
This patch (of 10):
In preparation for splitting out ET_DYN ASLR, this moves the ASLR
calculations for mmap on ARM into a separate routine, similar to x86.
This also removes the redundant check of personality (PF_RANDOMIZE is
already set before calling arch_pick_mmap_layout).

Implement huge KVA mapping interfaces on x86.
On x86, MTRRs can override PAT memory types with a 4KB granularity. When
using a huge page, MTRRs can override the memory type of the huge page,
which may lead a performance penalty. The processor can also behave in an
undefined manner if a huge page is mapped to a memory range that MTRRs
have mapped with multiple different memory types. Therefore, the mapping
code falls back to use a smaller page size toward 4KB when a mapping range
is covered by non-WB type of MTRRs. The WB type of MTRRs has no affect on
the PAT memory types.
pud_set_huge() and pmd_set_huge() call mtrr_type_lookup() to see if a
given range is covered by MTRRs. MTRR_TYPE_WRBACK indicates that the
range is either covered by WB or not covered and the MTRR default value is
set to WB. 0xFF indicates that MTRRs are disabled.
HAVE_ARCH_HUGE_VMAP is selected when X86_64 or X86_32 with X86_PAE is set.
X86_32 without X86_PAE is not supported since such config can unlikey be

Implement huge I/O mapping capability interfaces for ioremap() on x86.
IOREMAP_MAX_ORDER is defined to PUD_SHIFT on x86/64 and PMD_SHIFT on
x86/32, which overrides the default value defined in <linux/vmalloc.h>.

Add ioremap_pud_enabled() and ioremap_pmd_enabled(), which return 1 when
I/O mappings with pud/pmd are enabled on the kernel.
ioremap_huge_init() calls arch_ioremap_pud_supported() and
arch_ioremap_pmd_supported() to initialize the capabilities at boot-time.
A new kernel option "nohugeiomap" is also added, so that user can disable
the huge I/O map capabilities when necessary.

Commit 920c3ed74134 ("[SPARC64]: Add basic infrastructure for MD
add/remove notification") has added __GFP_NOFAIL for the allocation
request but it hasn't mentioned why is this strict requirement really
needed. The code was handling an allocation failure and propagated it
properly up the callchain so it is not clear why it is needed.
Dave has clarified the intention when I tried to remove the flag as not
being necessary:
: It is a serious failure.
:
: If we miss an MDESC update due to this allocation failure, the update
: is not an event which gets retransmitted so we will lose the updated
: machine description forever.
:
: We really need this allocation to succeed.
So add a comment to clarify the nofail flag and get rid of the failure
check because __GFP_NOFAIL allocation doesn't fail.

I've implemented accounting for pmd page tables as we have for pte (see
mm->nr_ptes). It's requires a new counter in mm_struct: mm->nr_pmds.
But the feature doesn't make any sense if an architecture has PMD level
folded and it would be nice get rid of the counter in this case.
The problem is that we cannot use __PAGETABLE_PMD_FOLDED in
<linux/mm_types.h> due to circular dependencies:
<linux/mm_types> -> <asm/pgtable.h> -> <linux/mm_types.h>
In most cases <asm/pgtable.h> wants <linux/mm_types.h> to get definition
of struct page and struct vm_area_struct. I've tried to split mm_struct
into separate header file to be able to user <asm/pgtable.h> there.
But it doesn't fly on some architectures, like ARM: it wants mm_struct
<asm/pgtable.h> to implement tlb flushing. I don't see how to fix it
without massive de-inlining or coverting a lot for inline functions to
macros.
This is other approach: expose number of page tables in use via Kconfig
and use it in <linux/mm_types.h> instead of __PAGETABLE_PMD_FOLDED from
<asm/pgtable.h>.
This patch (of 19):
We would want to use number of page table level to define mm_struct.

Pull perf changes from Ingo Molnar:
"Core kernel changes:
- One of the more interesting features in this cycle is the ability
to attach eBPF programs (user-defined, sandboxed bytecode executed
by the kernel) to kprobes.
This allows user-defined instrumentation on a live kernel image
that can never crash, hang or interfere with the kernel negatively.
(Right now it's limited to root-only, but in the future we might
allow unprivileged use as well.)
(Alexei Starovoitov)
- Another non-trivial feature is per event clockid support: this
allows, amongst other things, the selection of different clock
sources for event timestamps traced via perf.
This feature is sought by people who'd like to merge perf generated
events with external events that were measured with different
clocks:
- cluster wide profiling
- for system wide tracing with user-space events,
- JIT profiling events
etc. Matching perf tooling support is added as well, available via
the -k, --clockid <clockid> parameter to perf record et al.
(Peter Zijlstra)
Hardware enablement kernel changes:
- x86 Intel Processor Trace (PT) support: which is a hardware tracer
on steroids, available on Broadwell CPUs.
The hardware trace stream is directly output into the user-space
ring-buffer, using the 'AUX' data format extension that was added
to the perf core to support hardware constraints such as the
necessity to have the tracing buffer physically contiguous.
This patch-set was developed for two years and this is the result.
A simple way to make use of this is to use BTS tracing, the PT
driver emulates BTS output - available via the 'intel_bts' PMU.
More explicit PT specific tooling support is in the works as well -
will probably be ready by 4.2.
(Alexander Shishkin, Peter Zijlstra)
- x86 Intel Cache QoS Monitoring (CQM) support: this is a hardware
feature of Intel Xeon CPUs that allows the measurement and
allocation/partitioning of caches to individual workloads.
These kernel changes expose the measurement side as a new PMU
driver, which exposes various QoS related PMU events. (The
partitioning change is work in progress and is planned to be merged
as a cgroup extension.)
(Matt Fleming, Peter Zijlstra; CPU feature detection by Peter P
Waskiewicz Jr)
- x86 Intel Haswell LBR call stack support: this is a new Haswell
feature that allows the hardware recording of call chains, plus
tooling support. To activate this feature you have to enable it
via the new 'lbr' call-graph recording option:
perf record --call-graph lbr
perf report
or:
perf top --call-graph lbr
This hardware feature is a lot faster than stack walk or dwarf
based unwinding, but has some limitations:
- It reuses the current LBR facility, so LBR call stack and
branch record can not be enabled at the same time.
- It is only available for user-space callchains.
(Yan, Zheng)
- x86 Intel Broadwell CPU support and various event constraints and
event table fixes for earlier models.
(Andi Kleen)
- x86 Intel HT CPUs event scheduling workarounds. This is a complex
CPU bug affecting the SNB,IVB,HSW families that results in counter
value corruption. The mitigation code is automatically enabled and
is transparent.
(Maria Dimakopoulou, Stephane Eranian)
The perf tooling side had a ton of changes in this cycle as well, so
I'm only able to list the user visible changes here, in addition to
the tooling changes outlined above:
User visible changes affecting all tools:
- Improve support of compressed kernel modules (Jiri Olsa)
- Save DSO loading errno to better report errors (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
- Bash completion for subcommands (Yunlong Song)
- Add 'I' event modifier for perf_event_attr.exclude_idle bit (Jiri Olsa)
- Support missing -f to override perf.data file ownership. (Yunlong Song)
- Show the first event with an invalid filter (David Ahern, Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
User visible changes in individual tools:
'perf data':
New tool for converting perf.data to other formats, initially
for the CTF (Common Trace Format) from LTTng (Jiri Olsa,
Sebastian Siewior)
'perf diff':
Add --kallsyms option (David Ahern)
'perf list':
Allow listing events with 'tracepoint' prefix (Yunlong Song)
Sort the output of the command (Yunlong Song)
'perf kmem':
Respect -i option (Jiri Olsa)
Print big numbers using thousands' group (Namhyung Kim)
Allow -v option (Namhyung Kim)
Fix alignment of slab result table (Namhyung Kim)
'perf probe':
Support multiple probes on different binaries on the same command line (Masami Hiramatsu)
Support unnamed union/structure members data collection. (Masami Hiramatsu)
Check kprobes blacklist when adding new events. (Masami Hiramatsu)
'perf record':
Teach 'perf record' about perf_event_attr.clockid (Peter Zijlstra)
Support recording running/enabled time (Andi Kleen)
'perf sched':
Improve the performance of 'perf sched replay' on high CPU core count machines (Yunlong Song)
'perf report' and 'perf top':
Allow annotating entries in callchains in the hists browser (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
Indicate which callchain entries are annotated in the
TUI hists browser (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
Add pid/tid filtering to 'report' and 'script' commands (David Ahern)
Consider PERF_RECORD_ events with cpumode == 0 in 'perf top', removing one
cause of long term memory usage buildup, i.e. not processing PERF_RECORD_EXIT
events (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
'perf stat':
Report unsupported events properly (Suzuki K. Poulose)
Output running time and run/enabled ratio in CSV mode (Andi Kleen)
'perf trace':
Handle legacy syscalls tracepoints (David Ahern, Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
Only insert blank duration bracket when tracing syscalls (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
Filter out the trace pid when no threads are specified (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
Dump stack on segfaults (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
No need to explicitely enable evsels for workload started from perf, let it
be enabled via perf_event_attr.enable_on_exec, removing some events that take
place in the 'perf trace' before a workload is really started by it.
(Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
Allow mixing with tracepoints and suppressing plain syscalls. (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

split-out of perf's build system into tools/build/ and other changes -

This errata covers all r1 variants of Cortex A8, it's not limited to
just r1p0..r1p2. Update the documentation to reflect this. The code
already applies the workaround to all r1p* A8 CPUs.

We have recently had an example of someone wanting to use a 90kHz timer
for the software delay loop.
udelay() needs to have at least microsecond resolution to allow drivers
access to a delay mechanism with a reasonable chance of delaying the
period they requested within at least a 50% marging of error, especially
for small delays.
Discussion about the udelay() accuracy can be found at:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/1/9/37
Reject timers which are unable to supply this level of resolution.

Switch ARM to use the generic show_mem() implementation, which displays
the statistics from the mm zone rather than walking the page arrays.

Avoid the errata 430973 workaround for non-Cortex A8 CPUs. Having this
workaround enabled introduces an additional branch target buffer flush
into the context switching path, something we wish to avoid. To allow
this errata to be enabled in multiplatform kernels while reducing its
impact, rearrange the Cortex-A8 CPU support to avoid impacting on other
Version 7 CPUs.

The effects of not having ARM errata 643719 enabled on affected CPUs
can be very confusing and hard to debug. Rather than leave this to
chance, enable this workaround by default. Now that we have rearranged
the code, it should have a low impact on the majority of CPUs.

Eliminate one unnecessary instruction from this test by pre-shifting
the Cortex A9 ID - we can shift the actual ID in the teq instruction
thereby losing the pX bit of the ID at no cost.

Optimise the branches such that for the majority of unaffected devices,
we avoid needing to execute the errata work-around code path by
branching to start_flush_levels early.
