For historical reasons (i.e. pre-git) the exception table stuff was
buried in the middle of the module.h file. I noticed this while
doing an audit for needless includes of module.h and found core
kernel files (both arch specific and arch independent) were just
including module.h for this.
The converse is also true, in that conventional drivers, be they
for filesystems or actual hardware peripherals or similar, do not
normally care about the exception tables.
Here we fork the exception table content out of module.h into a
new file called extable.h -- and temporarily include it into the
module.h itself.
Then we will work our way across the arch independent and arch
specific files needing just exception table content, and move
them off module.h and onto extable.h
Once that is done, we can remove the extable.h from module.h
and in doing it like this, we avoid introducing build failures
into the git history.
The gain here is that module.h gets a bit smaller, across all
modular drivers that we build for allmodconfig. Also the core
files that only need exception table stuff don't have an include
of module.h that brings in lots of extra stuff and just looks
generally out of place.

__module_put_and_exit() is makred noreturn in module.h declaration, but is
lacking the attribute in the definition, which makes some tools (such as
sparse) unhappy. Amend the definition with the attribute as well (and
reformat the declaration so that it uses more common format).

Pull block driver updates from Jens Axboe:
"This branch also contains core changes. I've come to the conclusion
that from 4.9 and forward, I'll be doing just a single branch. We
often have dependencies between core and drivers, and it's hard to
always split them up appropriately without pulling core into drivers
when that happens.
That said, this contains:
- separate secure erase type for the core block layer, from
Christoph.
- set of discard fixes, from Christoph.
- bio shrinking fixes from Christoph, as a followup up to the
op/flags change in the core branch.
- map and append request fixes from Christoph.
- NVMeF (NVMe over Fabrics) code from Christoph. This is pretty
exciting!
- nvme-loop fixes from Arnd.
- removal of ->driverfs_dev from Dan, after providing a
device_add_disk() helper.
- bcache fixes from Bhaktipriya and Yijing.
- cdrom subchannel read fix from Vchannaiah.
- set of lightnvm updates from Wenwei, Matias, Johannes, and Javier.
- set of drbd updates and fixes from Fabian, Lars, and Philipp.
- mg_disk error path fix from Bart.
- user notification for failed device add for loop, from Minfei.
- NVMe in general:
+ NVMe delay quirk from Guilherme.
+ SR-IOV support and command retry limits from Keith.
+ fix for memory-less NUMA node from Masayoshi.
+ use UINT_MAX for discard sectors, from Minfei.
+ cancel IO fixes from Ming.
+ don't allocate unused major, from Neil.
+ error code fixup from Dan.
+ use constants for PSDT/FUSE from James.
+ variable init fix from Jay.
+ fabrics fixes from Ming, Sagi, and Wei.
+ various fixes"

Pull s390 updates from Martin Schwidefsky:
"There are a couple of new things for s390 with this merge request:
- a new scheduling domain "drawer" is added to reflect the unusual
topology found on z13 machines. Performance tests showed up to 8
percent gain with the additional domain.
- the new crc-32 checksum crypto module uses the vector-galois-field
multiply and sum SIMD instruction to speed up crc-32 and crc-32c.
- proper __ro_after_init support, this requires RO_AFTER_INIT_DATA in
the generic vmlinux.lds linker script definitions.
- kcov instrumentation support. A prerequisite for that is the
inline assembly basic block cleanup, which is the reason for the
net/iucv/iucv.c change.
- support for 2GB pages is added to the hugetlbfs backend.
Then there are two removals:
- the oprofile hardware sampling support is dead code and is removed.
The oprofile user space uses the perf interface nowadays.
- the ETR clock synchronization is removed, this has been superseeded
be the STP clock synchronization. And it always has been
"interesting" code..
And the usual bug fixes and cleanups"

Pull perf updates from Ingo Molnar:
"With over 300 commits it's been a busy cycle - with most of the work
concentrated on the tooling side (as it should).
The main kernel side enhancements were:
- Add per event callchain limit: Recently we introduced a sysctl to
tune the max-stack for all events for which callchains were
requested:
$ sysctl kernel.perf_event_max_stack
kernel.perf_event_max_stack = 127
Now this patch introduces a way to configure this per event, i.e.
this becomes possible:
$ perf record -e sched:*/max-stack=2/ -e block:*/max-stack=10/ -a
allowing finer tuning of how much buffer space callchains use.
This uses an u16 from the reserved space at the end, leaving
another u16 for future use.
There has been interest in even finer tuning, namely to control the
max stack for kernel and userspace callchains separately. Further
discussion is needed, we may for instance use the remaining u16 for
that and when it is present, assume that the sample_max_stack
introduced in this patch applies for the kernel, and the u16 left
is used for limiting the userspace callchain (Arnaldo Carvalho de
Melo)
- Optimize AUX event (hardware assisted side-band event) delivery
(Kan Liang)
- Rework Intel family name macro usage (this is partially x86 arch
work) (Dave Hansen)
- Refine and fix Intel LBR support (David Carrillo-Cisneros)
- Add support for Intel 'TopDown' events (Andi Kleen)
- Intel uncore PMU driver fixes and enhancements (Kan Liang)
- ... other misc changes.
Here's an incomplete list of the tooling enhancements (but there's
much more, see the shortlog and the git log for details):
- Support cross unwinding, i.e. collecting '--call-graph dwarf'
perf.data files in one machine and then doing analysis in another
machine of a different hardware architecture. This enables, for
instance, to do:
$ perf record -a --call-graph dwarf
on a x86-32 or aarch64 system and then do 'perf report' on it on a
x86_64 workstation (He Kuang)
- Allow reading from a backward ring buffer (one setup via
sys_perf_event_open() with perf_event_attr.write_backward = 1)
(Wang Nan)
- Finish merging initial SDT (Statically Defined Traces) support, see
cset comments for details about how it all works (Masami Hiramatsu)
- Support attaching eBPF programs to tracepoints (Wang Nan)
- Add demangling of symbols in programs written in the Rust language
(David Tolnay)
- Add support for tracepoints in the python binding, including an
example, that sets up and parses sched:sched_switch events,
tools/perf/python/tracepoint.py (Jiri Olsa)
- Introduce --stdio-color to set up the color output mode selection
in 'annotate' and 'report', allowing emit color escape sequences
when redirecting the output of these tools (Arnaldo Carvalho de
Melo)
- Add 'callindent' option to 'perf script -F', to indent the Intel PT
call stack, making this output more ftrace-like (Adrian Hunter,
Andi Kleen)
- Allow dumping the object files generated by llvm when processing
eBPF scriptlet events (Wang Nan)
- Add stackcollapse.py script to help generating flame graphs (Paolo
Bonzini)
- Add --ldlat option to 'perf mem' to specify load latency for loads
event (e.g. cpu/mem-loads/ ) (Jiri Olsa)
- Tooling support for Intel TopDown counters, recently added to the
kernel (Andi Kleen)"

Pull locking updates from Ingo Molnar:
"The locking tree was busier in this cycle than the usual pattern - a
couple of major projects happened to coincide.

across all SMP architectures (Peter Zijlstra)
- add atomic_fetch_{inc/dec}() as well, using the generic primitives
(Davidlohr Bueso)
- optimize various aspects of rwsems (Jason Low, Davidlohr Bueso,
Waiman Long)
- optimize smp_cond_load_acquire() on arm64 and implement LSE based
atomic{,64}_fetch_{add,sub,and,andnot,or,xor}{,_relaxed,_acquire,_release}()
on arm64 (Will Deacon)
- introduce smp_acquire__after_ctrl_dep() and fix various barrier
mis-uses and bugs (Peter Zijlstra)
- after discovering ancient spin_unlock_wait() barrier bugs in its
implementation and usage, strengthen its semantics and update/fix
usage sites (Peter Zijlstra)

Pull gfs2 updates from Bob Peterson:
"We've got ten patches this time, half of which are related to a
plethora of nasty outcomes when inodes are transitioned from the
unlinked state to the free state. Small file systems are particularly
vulnerable to these problems, and it can manifest as mainly hangs, but
also file system corruption. The patches have been tested for
literally many weeks, with a very gruelling test, so I have a high
level of confidence.
- Andreas Gruenbacher wrote a series of five patches for various
lockups during the transition of inodes from unlinked to free.
The main patch is titled "Fix gfs2_lookup_by_inum lock inversion"
and the other four are support and cleanup patches related to that.
- Ben Marzinski contributed two patches with regard to a recreatable
problem when gfs2 tries to write a page to a file that is being
truncated, resulting in a BUG() in gfs2_remove_from_journal.
Note that Ben had to export vfs function __block_write_full_page to
get this to work properly. It's been posted a long time and he
talked to various VFS people about it, and nobody seemed to mind.
- I contributed 3 patches:
o The first one fixes a memory corruptor: a race in which one
process can overwrite the gl_object pointer set by another
process, causing kernel panic and other symptoms.
o The second patch fixes another race that resulted in a
false-positive BUG_ON. This occurred when resource group
reservations were freed by one process while another process
was trying to grab a new reservation in the same resource
group.
o The third patch fixes a problem with doing journal replay when
the journals are not all the same size"

The memory controller has quite a bit of state that usually outlives the
cgroup and pins its CSS until said state disappears. At the same time
it imposes a 16-bit limit on the CSS ID space to economically store IDs
in the wild. Consequently, when we use cgroups to contain frequent but
small and short-lived jobs that leave behind some page cache, we quickly
run into the 64k limitations of outstanding CSSs. Creating a new cgroup
fails with -ENOSPC while there are only a few, or even no user-visible
cgroups in existence.
Although pinning CSSs past cgroup removal is common, there are only two
instances that actually need an ID after a cgroup is deleted: cache
shadow entries and swapout records.
Cache shadow entries reference the ID weakly and can deal with the CSS
having disappeared when it's looked up later. They pose no hurdle.
Swap-out records do need to pin the css to hierarchically attribute
swapins after the cgroup has been deleted; though the only pages that
remain swapped out after offlining are tmpfs/shmem pages. And those
references are under the user's control, so they are manageable.
This patch introduces a private 16-bit memcg ID and switches swap and
cache shadow entries over to using that. This ID can then be recycled
after offlining when the CSS remains pinned only by objects that don't
specifically need it.
This script demonstrates the problem by faulting one cache page in a new
cgroup and deleting it again:
set -e
mkdir -p pages
for x in `seq 128000`; do
[ $((x % 1000)) -eq 0 ] && echo $x
mkdir /cgroup/foo
echo $$ >/cgroup/foo/cgroup.procs
echo trex >pages/$x
echo $$ >/cgroup/cgroup.procs
rmdir /cgroup/foo
done
When run on an unpatched kernel, we eventually run out of possible IDs
even though there are no visible cgroups:
[root@ham ~]# ./cssidstress.sh
[...]
65000
mkdir: cannot create directory '/cgroup/foo': No space left on device
After this patch, the IDs get released upon cgroup destruction and the
cache and css objects get released once memory reclaim kicks in.

Before merging a bio into an existing request, io scheduler is called to
get its approval first. However, the requests that come from a plug
flush may get merged by block layer without consulting with io
scheduler.
In case of CFQ, this can cause fairness problems. For instance, if a
request gets merged into a low weight cgroup's request, high weight cgroup
now will depend on low weight cgroup to get scheduled. If high weigt cgroup
needs that io request to complete before submitting more requests, then it
will also lose its timeslice.
Following script demonstrates the problem. Group g1 has a low weight, g2
and g3 have equal high weights but g2's requests are adjacent to g1's
requests so they are subject to merging. Due to these merges, g2 gets
poor disk time allocation.

Currently, presence of direct_access() in block_device_operations
indicates support of DAX on its block device. Because
block_device_operations is instantiated with 'const', this DAX
capablity may not be enabled conditinally.
In preparation for supporting DAX to device-mapper devices, add
QUEUE_FLAG_DAX to request_queue flags to advertise their DAX
support. This will allow to set the DAX capability based on how
mapped device is composed.

everyone else, but the complex nature of deciding if we have
DATA IN and/or DATA OUT buffers might make this impossible
(at least for a mere human like me).
But using blk_rq_append_bio at least allows sharing the setup code
between request with or without dat a buffers, and given that this
is the last user of blk_make_request it allows getting rid of that
somewhat awkward interface.

The target SCSI passthrough backend is much better served with the low-level
blk_rq_append_bio construct then the helpers built on top of it, so export it.
Also use the opportunity to remove the pointless request_queue argument and
make the code flow a little more readable.

The recent ops split grew the bio by adding the new ioprio field.
Shrink it again by using a 16-bit field for the bi_flags value and
filling the holes near the beginning of the structure.

Instead of a flag and an index just make sure an index of 0 means
no need to free the bvec array. Also move the constants related
to the bvec pools together and use a consistent naming scheme for
them.

These two are confusing leftover of the old world order, combining
values of the REQ_OP_ and REQ_ namespaces. For callers that don't
special case we mostly just replace bi_rw with bio_data_dir or
op_is_write, except for the few cases where a switch over the REQ_OP_
values makes more sense. Any check for READA is replaced with an
explicit check for REQ_RAHEAD. Also remove the READA alias for
REQ_RAHEAD.

Currently blkdev_issue_zeroout cascades down from discards (if the driver
guarantees that discards zero data), to WRITE SAME and then to a loop
writing zeroes. Unfortunately we ignore run-time EOPNOTSUPP errors in the
block layer blkdev_issue_discard helper to work around DM volumes that
may have mixed discard support underneath.
This patch intoroduces a new BLKDEV_DISCARD_ZERO flag to
blkdev_issue_discard that indicates we are called for zeroing operation.
This allows both to ignore the EOPNOTSUPP hack and actually consolidating
the discard_zeroes_data check into the function.

The switchdev value for the SWITCHDEV_ATTR_ID_BRIDGE_AGEING_TIME
attribute is a clock_t and requires to use helpers such as
clock_t_to_jiffies() to convert to milliseconds.
Change ageing_time type from u32 to clock_t to make it explicit.

Since we set ATA_MAX_SECTORS_LBA48 to 65535 to avoid the corner case
in some drives that commands with "count" set to 0000h (which
reprsents 65536) does not work as expected, lba_48_ok(), which is
used for number-of-blocks checking when libata pack commands, should
use the same limit as well. In fact, there is no reason for the two
functions not to use the macros anyway.

This patch removes the old crypto_grab_skcipher helper and replaces
it with crypto_grab_skcipher2.
As this is the final entry point into givcipher this patch also
removes all traces of the top-level givcipher interface, including
all implicit IV generators such as chainiv.
The bottom-level givcipher interface remains until the drivers
using it are converted.
