Pull x86 timer updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"X86 timer specific updates:
- Add TPAUSE based delay which allows the CPU to enter an optimized
power state while waiting for the delay to pass. The delay is based
on TSC cycles.
- Add tsc_early_khz command line parameter to workaround the problem
that overclocked CPUs can report the wrong frequency via CPUID.16h
which causes the refined calibration to fail because the delta to
the initial frequency value is too big. With the parameter users
can provide an halfways accurate initial value"

Add a memory.swap.high knob, which can be used to protect the system
from SWAP exhaustion. The mechanism used for penalizing is similar to
memory.high penalty (sleep on return to user space).
That is not to say that the knob itself is equivalent to memory.high.
The objective is more to protect the system from potentially buggy tasks
consuming a lot of swap and impacting other tasks, or even bringing the
whole system to stand still with complete SWAP exhaustion. Hopefully
without the need to find per-task hard limits.
Slowing misbehaving tasks down gradually allows user space oom killers
or other protection mechanisms to react. oomd and earlyoom already do
killing based on swap exhaustion, and memory.swap.high protection will
help implement such userspace oom policies more reliably.
We can use one counter for number of pages allocated under pressure to
save struct task space and avoid two separate hierarchy walks on the hot
path. The exact overage is calculated on return to user space, anyway.
Take the new high limit into account when determining if swap is "full".
Borrowing the explanation from Johannes:
The idea behind "swap full" is that as long as the workload has plenty
of swap space available and it's not changing its memory contents, it
makes sense to generously hold on to copies of data in the swap device,
even after the swapin. A later reclaim cycle can drop the page without
any IO. Trading disk space for IO.
But the only two ways to reclaim a swap slot is when they're faulted
in and the references go away, or by scanning the virtual address space
like swapoff does - which is very expensive (one could argue it's too
expensive even for swapoff, it's often more practical to just reboot).
So at some point in the fill level, we have to start freeing up swap
slots on fault/swapin. Otherwise we could eventually run out of swap
slots while they're filled with copies of data that is also in RAM.
We don't want to OOM a workload because its available swap space is
filled with redundant cache.

There's a new workingset counter introduced in commit 1899ad18c6 ("mm:
workingset: tell cache transitions from workingset thrashing"). With
the help of this counter we can know the workingset is transitioning or
thrashing. To leverage the benifit of this counter to memcg, we should
introduce it into memory.stat. Then we could know the workingset of the
workload inside a memcg better.
Bellow is the verification of this new counter in memory.stat. Read a
file into the memory and then read it again to make these pages be
active. The size of this file is 1G. (memory.max is greater than file
size) The counters in memory.stat will be
inactive_file 0
active_file 1073639424
workingset_refault 0
workingset_activate 0
workingset_restore 0
workingset_nodereclaim 0
Trigger the memcg reclaim by setting a lower value to memory.high, and
then some pages will be demoted into inactive list, and then some pages
in the inactive list will be evicted into the storage.
inactive_file 498094080
active_file 310063104
workingset_refault 0
workingset_activate 0
workingset_restore 0
workingset_nodereclaim 0
Then recover the memory.high and read the file into memory again. As a
result of it, the transitioning will occur. Bellow is the result of
this transitioning,
inactive_file 498094080
active_file 575397888
workingset_refault 64746
workingset_activate 64746

Pull arm64 updates from Will Deacon:
"A sizeable pile of arm64 updates for 5.8.
Summary below, but the big two features are support for Branch Target
Identification and Clang's Shadow Call stack. The latter is currently
arm64-only, but the high-level parts are all in core code so it could
easily be adopted by other architectures pending toolchain support
Branch Target Identification (BTI):
- Support for ARMv8.5-BTI in both user- and kernel-space. This allows
branch targets to limit the types of branch from which they can be
called and additionally prevents branching to arbitrary code,
although kernel support requires a very recent toolchain.
- Function annotation via SYM_FUNC_START() so that assembly functions
are wrapped with the relevant "landing pad" instructions.
- BPF and vDSO updates to use the new instructions.
- Addition of a new HWCAP and exposure of BTI capability to userspace
via ID register emulation, along with ELF loader support for the
BTI feature in .note.gnu.property.
- Non-critical fixes to CFI unwind annotations in the sigreturn
trampoline.
Shadow Call Stack (SCS):
- Support for Clang's Shadow Call Stack feature, which reserves
platform register x18 to point at a separate stack for each task
that holds only return addresses. This protects function return
control flow from buffer overruns on the main stack.
- Save/restore of x18 across problematic boundaries (user-mode,
hypervisor, EFI, suspend, etc).
- Core support for SCS, should other architectures want to use it
too.
- SCS overflow checking on context-switch as part of the existing
stack limit check if CONFIG_SCHED_STACK_END_CHECK=y.
CPU feature detection:
- Removed numerous "SANITY CHECK" errors when running on a system
with mismatched AArch32 support at EL1. This is primarily a concern
for KVM, which disabled support for 32-bit guests on such a system.
- Addition of new ID registers and fields as the architecture has
been extended.
Perf and PMU drivers:
- Minor fixes and cleanups to system PMU drivers.
Hardware errata:
- Unify KVM workarounds for VHE and nVHE configurations.
- Sort vendor errata entries in Kconfig.
Secure Monitor Call Calling Convention (SMCCC):
- Update to the latest specification from Arm (v1.2).
- Allow PSCI code to query the SMCCC version.
Software Delegated Exception Interface (SDEI):
- Unexport a bunch of unused symbols.
- Minor fixes to handling of firmware data.
Pointer authentication:
- Add support for dumping the kernel PAC mask in vmcoreinfo so that
the stack can be unwound by tools such as kdump.
- Simplification of key initialisation during CPU bringup.
BPF backend:
- Improve immediate generation for logical and add/sub instructions.
vDSO:
- Minor fixes to the linker flags for consistency with other
architectures and support for LLVM's unwinder.
- Clean up logic to initialise and map the vDSO into userspace.
ACPI:
- Work around for an ambiguity in the IORT specification relating to
the "num_ids" field.
- Support _DMA method for all named components rather than only PCIe
root complexes.
- Minor other IORT-related fixes.
Miscellaneous:
- Initialise debug traps early for KGDB and fix KDB cacheflushing
deadlock.
- Minor tweaks to early boot state (documentation update, set
TEXT_OFFSET to 0x0, increase alignment of PE/COFF sections).
- Refactoring and cleanup"

This introduces mtdpstore, which is similar to mtdoops but more
powerful. It uses pstore/blk, and aims to store panic and oops logs to
a flash partition, where pstore can later read back and present as files
in the mounted pstore filesystem.
To make mtdpstore work, the "blkdev" of pstore/blk should be set
as MTD device name or MTD device number. For more details, see
Documentation/admin-guide/pstore-blk.rst
This solves a number of issues:
- Work duplication: both of pstore and mtdoops do the same job storing
panic/oops log. They have very similar logic, registering to kmsg
dumper and storing logs to several chunks one by one.
- Layer violations: drivers should provides methods instead of polices.
MTD should provide read/write/erase operations, and allow a higher
level drivers to provide the chunk management, kmsg dump
configuration, etc.
- Missing features: pstore provides many additional features, including
presenting the logs as files, logging dump time and count, and
supporting other frontends like pmsg, console, etc.

Now that pstore_register() can correctly pass max_reason to the kmesg
dump facility, introduce a new "max_reason" module parameter and
"max-reason" Device Tree field.
The "dump_oops" module parameter and "dump-oops" Device
Tree field are now considered deprecated, but are now automatically
converted to their corresponding max_reason values when present, though
the new max_reason setting has precedence.
For struct ramoops_platform_data, the "dump_oops" member is entirely
replaced by a new "max_reason" member, with the only existing user
updated in place.
Additionally remove the "reason" filter logic from ramoops_pstore_write(),
as that is not specifically needed anymore, though technically
this is a change in behavior for any ramoops users also setting the
printk.always_kmsg_dump boot param, which will cause ramoops to behave as
if max_reason was set to KMSG_DUMP_MAX.

Changing base clock frequency directly impacts TSC Hz but not CPUID.16h
value. An overclocked CPU supporting CPUID.16h and with partial CPUID.15h
support will set TSC KHZ according to "best guess" given by CPUID.16h
relying on tsc_refine_calibration_work to give better numbers later.
tsc_refine_calibration_work will refuse to do its work when the outcome is
off the early TSC KHZ value by more than 1% which is certain to happen on
an overclocked system.
Fix this by adding a tsc_early_khz command line parameter that makes the
kernel skip early TSC calibration and use the given value instead.
This allows the user to provide the expected TSC frequency that is closer
to reality than the one reported by the hardware, enabling
tsc_refine_calibration_work to do meaningful error checking.
[ tglx: Made the variable __initdata as it's only used on init and
removed the error checking in the argument parser because
kstrto*() only stores to the variable if the string is valid ]

This commit aids testing of RCU task stall warning messages by adding
an rcutorture.stall_cpu_block module parameter that results in the
induced stall sleeping within the RCU read-side critical section.
Spinning with interrupts disabled is still available via the
rcutorture.stall_cpu_irqsoff module parameter, and specifying neither
of these two module parameters will spin with preemption disabled.
Note that sleeping (as opposed to preemption) results in additional
complaints from RCU at context-switch time, so yet more testing.

This commit provides a rcupdate.rcu_task_ipi_delay kernel boot parameter
that specifies how old the RCU tasks trace grace period must be before
the grace-period kthread starts sending IPIs. This delay allows more
tasks to pass through rcu_tasks_qs() quiescent states, thus reducing
(or even eliminating) the number of IPIs that must be sent.
On a short rcutorture test setting this kernel boot parameter to HZ/2
resulted in zero IPIs for all 877 RCU-tasks trace grace periods that
elapsed during that test.

Add the initrdmem option:
initrdmem=ss[KMG],nn[KMG]
which is used to specify the physical address of the initrd, almost
always an address in FLASH. Also add code for x86 to use the existing
phys_init_start and phys_init_size variables in the kernel.
This is useful in cases where a kernel and an initrd is placed in FLASH,
but there is no firmware file system structure in the FLASH.
One such situation occurs when unused FLASH space on UEFI systems has
been reclaimed by, e.g., taking it from the Management Engine. For
example, on many systems, the ME is given half the FLASH part; not only
is 2.75M of an 8M part unused; but 10.75M of a 16M part is unused. This
space can be used to contain an initrd, but need to tell Linux where it
is.
This space is "raw": due to, e.g., UEFI limitations: it can not be added
to UEFI firmware volumes without rebuilding UEFI from source or writing
a UEFI device driver. It can be referenced only as a physical address
and size.
At the same time, if a kernel can be "netbooted" or loaded from GRUB or
syslinux, the option of not using the physical address specification
should be available.
Then, it is easy to boot the kernel and provide an initrd; or boot the
the kernel and let it use the initrd in FLASH. In practice, this has
proven to be very helpful when integrating Linux into FLASH on x86.
Hence, the most flexible and convenient path is to enable the initrdmem
command line option in a way that it is the last choice tried.
For example, on the DigitalLoggers Atomic Pi, an image into FLASH can be
burnt in with a built-in command line which includes:
initrdmem=0xff968000,0x200000
which specifies a location and size.

Commit bd0e6c9614 ("usb: hub: try old enumeration scheme first for
high speed devices") changed the way the hub driver enumerates
high-speed devices. Instead of using the "new" enumeration scheme
first and switching to the "old" scheme if that doesn't work, we start
with the "old" scheme. In theory this is better because the "old"
scheme is slightly faster -- it involves resetting the device only
once instead of twice.
However, for a long time Windows used only the "new" scheme. Zeng Tao
said that Windows 8 and later use the "old" scheme for high-speed
devices, but apparently there are some devices that don't like it.
William Bader reports that the Ricoh webcam built into his Sony Vaio
laptop not only doesn't enumerate under the "old" scheme, it gets hung
up so badly that it won't then enumerate under the "new" scheme! Only
a cold reset will fix it.
Therefore we will revert the commit and go back to trying the "new"
scheme first for high-speed devices.
