x86: mm: support ARCH_MMAP_RND_BITS
x86: arch_mmap_rnd() uses hard-coded values, 8 for 32-bit and 28 for 64-bit, to generate the random offset for the mmap base address. This value represents a compromise between increased ASLR effectiveness and avoiding address-space fragmentation. Replace it with a Kconfig option, which is sensibly bounded, so that platform developers may choose where to place this compromise. Keep default values as new minimums.

libnvdimm for 4.5
1/ Media error handling: The 'badblocks' implementation that originated
in md-raid is up-levelled to a generic capability of a block device.
This initial implementation is limited to being consulted in the pmem
block-i/o path. Later, 'badblocks' will be consulted when creating
dax mappings.
2/ Raw block device dax: For virtualization and other cases that want
large contiguous mappings of persistent memory, add the capability to
dax-mmap a block device directly.
3/ Increased /dev/mem restrictions: Add an option to treat all io-memory
as IORESOURCE_EXCLUSIVE, i.e. disable /dev/mem access while a driver is
actively using an address range. This behavior is controlled via the
new CONFIG_IO_STRICT_DEVMEM option and can be overridden by the
existing "iomem=relaxed" kernel command line option.
4/ Miscellaneous fixes include a 'pfn'-device huge page alignment fix,
block device shutdown crash fix, and other small libnvdimm fixes.

Pull libnvdimm updates from Dan Williams:
"The bulk of this has appeared in -next and independently received a
build success notification from the kbuild robot. The 'for-4.5/block-
dax' topic branch was rebased over the weekend to drop the "block
device end-of-life" rework that Al would like to see re-implemented
with a notifier, and to address bug reports against the badblocks
integration.
There is pending feedback against "libnvdimm: Add a poison list and
export badblocks" received last week. Linda identified some localized
fixups that we will handle incrementally.
Summary:

Power management and ACPI updates for v4.5-rc1
- Add a debugfs-based interface for interacting with the ACPICA's
AML debugger introduced in the previous cycle and a new user
space tool for that, fix some bugs related to the AML debugger
and clean up the code in question (Lv Zheng, Dan Carpenter,
Colin Ian King, Markus Elfring).
- Update ACPICA to upstream revision 20151218 including a number
of fixes and cleanups in the ACPICA core (Bob Moore, Lv Zheng,
Labbe Corentin, Prarit Bhargava, Colin Ian King, David E Box,
Rafael Wysocki).
In particular, the previously added erroneous support for the
_SUB object is dropped, the concatenate operator will support
all ACPI objects now, the Debug Object handling is improved,
the SuperName handling of parameters being control methods is
fixed, the ObjectType operator handling is updated to follow
ACPI 5.0A and the handling of CondRefOf and RefOf is updated
accordingly, module-level code will be executed after loading
each ACPI table now (instead of being run once after all tables
containing AML have been loaded), the Operation Region handlers
management is updated to fix some reported problems and a the
ACPICA code in the kernel is more in line with the upstream
now.
- Update the ACPI backlight driver to provide information on
whether or not it will generate key-presses for brightness
change hotkeys and update some platform drivers (dell-wmi,
thinkpad_acpi) to use that information to avoid sending double
key-events to users pace for these, add new ACPI backlight
quirks (Hans de Goede, Aaron Lu, Adrien Schildknecht).
- Improve the ACPI handling of interrupt GPIOs (Christophe Ricard).
- Fix the handling of the list of device IDs of device objects
found in the ACPI namespace and add a helper for checking if
there is a device object for a given device ID (Lukas Wunner).
- Change the logic in the ACPI namespace scanning code to create
struct acpi_device objects for all ACPI device objects found in
the namespace even if _STA fails for them which helps to avoid
device enumeration problems on Microsoft Surface 3 (Aaron Lu).
- Add support for the APM X-Gene ACPI I2C device to the ACPI
driver for AMD SoCs (Loc Ho).
- Fix the long-standing issue with the DMA controller on Intel
SoCs where ACPI tables have no power management support for
the DMA controller itself, but it can be powered off automatically
when the last (other) device on the SoC is powered off via ACPI
and clean up the ACPI driver for Intel SoCs (acpi-lpss) after
previous attempts to fix that problem (Andy Shevchenko).
- Assorted ACPI fixes and cleanups (Andy Lutomirski, Colin Ian King,
Javier Martinez Canillas, Ken Xue, Mathias Krause, Rafael Wysocki,
Sinan Kaya).
- Update the device properties framework for better handling of
built-in properties, add support for built-in properties to
the platform bus type, update the MFD subsystem's handling
of device properties and add support for passing default
configuration data as device properties to the intel-lpss MFD
drivers, convert the designware I2C driver to use the unified
device properties API and add a fallback mechanism for using
default built-in properties if the platform firmware fails
to provide the properties as expected by drivers (Andy Shevchenko,
Mika Westerberg, Heikki Krogerus, Andrew Morton).
- Add new Device Tree bindings to the Operating Performance Points
(OPP) framework and update the exynos4412 DT binding accordingly,
introduce debugfs support for the OPP framework (Viresh Kumar,
Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz).
- Migrate the mt8173 cpufreq driver to the new OPP bindings
(Pi-Cheng Chen).
- Update the cpufreq core to make the handling of governors
more efficient, especially on systems where policy objects
are shared between multiple CPUs (Viresh Kumar, Rafael Wysocki).
- Fix cpufreq governor handling on configurations with
CONFIG_HZ_PERIODIC set (Chen Yu).
- Clean up the cpufreq core code related to the boost sysfs knob
support and update the ACPI cpufreq driver accordingly (Rafael
Wysocki).
- Add a new cpufreq driver for ST platforms and corresponding
Device Tree bindings (Lee Jones).
- Update the intel_pstate driver to allow the P-state selection
algorithm used by it to depend on the CPU ID of the processor it
is running on, make it use a special P-state selection algorithm
(with an IO wait time compensation tweak) on Atom CPUs based on
the Airmont and Silvermont cores so as to reduce their energy
consumption and improve intel_pstate documentation (Philippe
Longepe, Srinivas Pandruvada).
- Update the cpufreq-dt driver to support registering cooling
devices that use the (P * V^2 * f) dynamic power draw formula
where V is the voltage, f is the frequency and P is a constant
coefficient provided by Device Tree and update the arm_big_little
cpufreq driver to use that support (Punit Agrawal).
- Assorted cpufreq driver (cpufreq-dt, qoriq, pcc-cpufreq,
blackfin-cpufreq) updates (Andrzej Hajda, Hongtao Jia,
Jacob Tanenbaum, Markus Elfring).
- cpuidle core tweaks related to polling and measured_us
calculation (Rik van Riel).
- Removal of modularity from a few cpuidle drivers (clps711x,
ux500, exynos) that cannot be built as modules in practice
(Paul Gortmaker).
- PM core update to prevent devices from being probed during
system suspend/resume which is generally problematic and may
lead to inconsistent behavior (Grygorii Strashko).
- Assorted updates of the PM core and related code (Julia Lawall,
Manuel Pégourié-Gonnard, Maruthi Bayyavarapu, Rafael Wysocki,
Ulf Hansson).
- PNP bus type updates (Christophe Le Roy, Heiner Kallweit).
- PCI PM code cleanups (Jarkko Nikula, Julia Lawall).
- cpupower tool updates (Jacob Tanenbaum, Thomas Renninger).

Pull oower management and ACPI updates from Rafael Wysocki:
"As far as the number of commits goes, ACPICA takes the lead this time,
followed by cpufreq and the device properties framework changes.
The most significant new feature is the debugfs-based interface to the
ACPICA's AML debugger added in the previous cycle and a new user space
tool for accessing it.
On the cpufreq front, the core is updated to handle governors more
efficiently, particularly on systems where a single cpufreq policy
object is shared between multiple CPUs, and there are quite a few
changes in drivers (intel_pstate, cpufreq-dt etc).
The device properties framework is updated to handle built-in (ie
included in the kernel itself) device properties better, among other
things by adding a fallback mechanism that will allow drivers to
provide default properties to be used in case the plaform firmware
doesn't provide the properties expected by them.
The Operating Performance Points (OPP) framework gets new DT bindings
and debugfs support.
A new cpufreq driver for ST platforms is added and the ACPI driver for
AMD SoCs will now support the APM X-Gene ACPI I2C device.
The rest is mostly fixes and cleanups all over.
Specifics:
- Add a debugfs-based interface for interacting with the ACPICA's AML

ACPI / LPSS: override power state for LPSS DMA device
This is a third approach to workaround long standing issue with LPSS on BayTrail. First one [1] was reverted since it didn't resolve the issue comprehensively. Second one [2] was rejected by internal review. The LPSS DMA controller does not have neither _PS0 nor _PS3 method. Moreover it can be powered off automatically whenever the last LPSS device goes down. In case of no power any access to the DMA controller will hang the system. The behaviour is reproduced on some HP laptops based on Intel BayTrail [3,4] as well as on ASuS T100TA transformer. Power on the LPSS island through the registers accessible in a specific way.

locking/pvqspinlock: Collect slowpath lock statistics
This patch enables the accumulation of kicking and waiting related PV qspinlock statistics when the new QUEUED_LOCK_STAT configuration option is selected. It also enables the collection of data which enable us to calculate the kicking and wakeup latencies which have a heavy dependency on the CPUs being used. The statistical counters are per-cpu variables to minimize the performance overhead in their updates. These counters are exported via the debugfs filesystem under the qlockstat directory. When the corresponding debugfs files are read, summation and computing of the required data are then performed.

swiotlb: Enable it under x86 PAE
Most distributions end up enabling SWIOTLB already with 32-bit

However for those that are not interested in virtualization and
run in 32-bit they will discover that: "32-bit PAE 4.2.0 kernel

spews million(-ish messages per sec) to syslog, effectively

- Qualify the part about software emulation and mention that for some apps you
want a real vm86 mode.
- Don't scare users away from the option, instead explain what it does.

kexec: split kexec_load syscall from kexec core code
There are two kexec load syscalls, kexec_load another and kexec_file_load. kexec_file_load has been splited as kernel/kexec_file.c. In this patch I split kexec_load syscall code to kernel/kexec.c. And add a new kconfig option KEXEC_CORE, so we can disable kexec_load and use kexec_file_load only, or vice verse. The original requirement is from Ted Ts'o, he want kexec kernel signature being checked with CONFIG_KEXEC_VERIFY_SIG enabled. But kexec-tools use kexec_load syscall can bypass the checking. Vivek Goyal proposed to create a common kconfig option so user can compile in only one syscall for loading kexec kernel. KEXEC/KEXEC_FILE selects KEXEC_CORE so that old config files still work. Because there's general code need CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE, so I updated all the architecture Kconfig with a new option KEXEC_CORE, and let KEXEC selects KEXEC_CORE in arch Kconfig. Also updated general kernel code with to kexec_load syscall. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: coding-style fixes] Signed-off-by: Dave Young <dyoung@redhat.com> Cc: Eric W.

libnvdimm for 4.3:
1/ Introduce ZONE_DEVICE and devm_memremap_pages() as a generic
mechanism for adding device-driver-discovered memory regions to the
kernel's direct map. This facility is used by the pmem driver to
enable pfn_to_page() operations on the page frames returned by DAX
('direct_access' in 'struct block_device_operations'). For now, the
'memmap' allocation for these "device" pages comes from "System
RAM". Support for allocating the memmap from device memory will
arrive in a later kernel.
2/ Introduce memremap() to replace usages of ioremap_cache() and
ioremap_wt(). memremap() drops the __iomem annotation for these
mappings to memory that do not have i/o side effects. The
replacement of ioremap_cache() with memremap() is limited to the
pmem driver to ease merging the api change in v4.3. Completion of
the conversion is targeted for v4.4.
3/ Similar to the usage of memcpy_to_pmem() + wmb_pmem() in the pmem
driver, update the VFS DAX implementation and PMEM api to provide
persistence guarantees for kernel operations on a DAX mapping.
4/ Convert the ACPI NFIT 'BLK' driver to map the block apertures as
cacheable to improve performance.
5/ Miscellaneous updates and fixes to libnvdimm including support
for issuing "address range scrub" commands, clarifying the optimal
'sector size' of pmem devices, a clarification of the usage of the
ACPI '_STA' (status) property for DIMM devices, and other minor
fixes.

mm: send one IPI per CPU to TLB flush all entries after unmapping pages
An IPI is sent to flush remote TLBs when a page is unmapped that was
potentially accesssed by other CPUs. There are many circumstances where
this happens but the obvious one is kswapd reclaiming pages belonging to a
running process as kswapd and the task are likely running on separate
CPUs.
On small machines, this is not a significant problem but as machine gets
larger with more cores and more memory, the cost of these IPIs can be
high. This patch uses a simple structure that tracks CPUs that
potentially have TLB entries for pages being unmapped. When the unmapping
is complete, the full TLB is flushed on the assumption that a refill cost
is lower than flushing individual entries.
Architectures wishing to do this must give the following guarantee.
If a clean page is unmapped and not immediately flushed, the
architecture must guarantee that a write to that linear address
from a CPU with a cached TLB entry will trap a page fault.
This is essentially what the kernel already depends on but the window is
much larger with this patch applied and is worth highlighting. The
architecture should consider whether the cost of the full TLB flush is
higher than sending an IPI to flush each individual entry. An additional
architecture helper called flush_tlb_local is required. It's a trivial
wrapper with some accounting in the x86 case.
The impact of this patch depends on the workload as measuring any benefit
requires both mapped pages co-located on the LRU and memory pressure. The
case with the biggest impact is multiple processes reading mapped pages
taken from the vm-scalability test suite. The test case uses NR_CPU
readers of mapped files that consume 10*RAM.

This is showing that the readers completed 24.40% faster with 29% less
system CPU time. From vmstats, it is known that the vanilla kernel was
interrupted roughly 900K times per second during the steady phase of the
test and the patched kernel was interrupts 180K times per second.
The impact is lower on a single socket machine.

It's still a noticeable improvement with vmstat showing interrupts went
from roughly 500K per second to 45K per second.
The patch will have no impact on workloads with no memory pressure or have
relatively few mapped pages. It will have an unpredictable impact on the
workload running on the CPU being flushed as it'll depend on how many TLB
entries need to be refilled and how long that takes. Worst case, the TLB
will be completely cleared of active entries when the target PFNs were not
resident at all.

x86, pmem: clarify that ARCH_HAS_PMEM_API implies PMEM mapped WB
Given that a write-back (WB) mapping plus non-temporal stores is expected to be the most efficient way to access PMEM, update the definition of ARCH_HAS_PMEM_API to imply arch support for WB-mapped-PMEM. This is needed as a pre-requisite for adding PMEM to the direct map and mapping it with struct page. The above clarification for X86_64 means that memcpy_to_pmem() is permitted to use the non-temporal arch_memcpy_to_pmem() rather than needlessly fall back to default_memcpy_to_pmem() when the pcommit instruction is not available. When arch_memcpy_to_pmem() is not guaranteed to flush writes out of cache, i.e. on older X86_32 implementations where non-temporal stores may just dirty cache, ARCH_HAS_PMEM_API is simply disabled. The default fall back for persistent memory handling remains. Namely, map it with the WT (write-through) cache-type and hope for the best. arch_has_pmem_api() is updated to only indicate whether the arch provides the proper helpers to meet the minimum "writes are visible outside the cache hierarchy after memcpy_to_pmem() + wmb_pmem()". Code that cares whether wmb_pmem() actually flushes writes to pmem must now call arch_has_wmb_pmem() directly. Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@redhat.com> Cc: "H.

nd_blk: change aperture mapping from WC to WB
This should result in a pretty sizeable performance gain for reads. For rough comparison I did some simple read testing using PMEM to compare reads of write combining (WC) mappings vs write-back (WB). This was done on a random lab machine. PMEM reads from a write combining mapping: # dd of=/dev/null if=/dev/pmem0 bs=4096 count=100000 100000+0 records in 100000+0 records out 409600000 bytes (410 MB) copied, 9.2855 s, 44.1 MB/s PMEM reads from a write-back mapping: # dd of=/dev/null if=/dev/pmem0 bs=4096 count=1000000 1000000+0 records in 1000000+0 records out 4096000000 bytes (4.1 GB) copied, 3.44034 s, 1.2 GB/s To be able to safely support a write-back aperture I needed to add support for the "read flush" _DSM flag, as outlined in the DSM spec: http://pmem.io/documents/NVDIMM_DSM_Interface_Example.pdf This flag tells the ND BLK driver that it needs to flush the cache lines associated with the aperture after the aperture is moved but before any new data is read. This ensures that any stale cache lines from the previous contents of the aperture will be discarded from the processor cache, and the new data will be read properly from the DIMM. We know that the cache lines are clean and will be discarded without any writeback because either a) the previous aperture operation was a read, and we never modified the contents of the aperture, or b) the previous aperture operation was a write and we must have written back the dirtied contents of the aperture to the DIMM before the I/O was completed. In order to add support for the "read flush" flag I needed to add a generic routine to invalidate cache lines, mmio_flush_range(). This is protected by the ARCH_HAS_MMIO_FLUSH Kconfig variable, and is currently only supported on x86.

libnvdimm, e820: make CONFIG_X86_PMEM_LEGACY a tristate option
We currently register a platform device for e820 type-12 memory and register a nvdimm bus beneath it. Registering the platform device triggers the device-core machinery to probe for a driver, but that search currently comes up empty. Building the nvdimm-bus registration into the e820_pmem platform device registration in this way forces libnvdimm to be built-in. Instead, convert the built-in portion of CONFIG_X86_PMEM_LEGACY to simply register a platform device and move the rest of the logic to the driver for e820_pmem, for the following reasons: 1/ Letting e820_pmem support be a module allows building and testing libnvdimm.ko changes without rebooting 2/ All the normal policy around modules can be applied to e820_pmem (unbind to disable and/or blacklisting the module from loading by default) 3/ Moving the driver to a generic location and converting it to scan "iomem_resource" rather than "e820.map" means any other architecture can take advantage of this simple nvdimm resource discovery mechanism by registering a resource named "Persistent Memory (legacy)" Cc: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com> |

x86/mce: Provide a lockless memory pool to save error records
printk() is not safe to use in MCE context. Add a lockless memory allocator pool to save error records in MCE context. Those records will be issued later, in a printk-safe context. The idea is inspired by the APEI/GHES driver. We're very conservative and allocate only two pages for it but since we're going to use those pages throughout the system's lifetime, we allocate them statically to avoid early boot time allocation woes.

x86/kconfig/32: Rename CONFIG_VM86 and default it to 'n'
VM86 is entirely broken if ptrace, syscall auditing, or NOHZ_FULL is in use. The code is a big undocumented mess, it's a real PITA to test, and it looks like a big chunk of vm86_32.c is dead code. It also plays awful games with the entry asm. No one should be using it anyway. Use DOSBOX or KVM instead. Let's accelerate its slow death. Remove it from EXPERT and default it to n. Distros should not enable it. In the unlikely event that some user needs it, they can easily re-enable it. While we're at it, rename it to CONFIG_X86_LEGACY_VM86 so that 'make oldconfig' users will be prompted again. I left CONFIG_VM86 as an alias to avoid a treewide replacement of the names. We can clean that up once the current asm and vm86 code churn settles down.

The libnvdimm sub-system introduces, in addition to the libnvdimm-core,
4 drivers / enabling modules:
NFIT:
Instantiates an "nvdimm bus" with the core and registers memory devices
(NVDIMMs) enumerated by the ACPI 6.0 NFIT (NVDIMM Firmware Interface
table). After registering NVDIMMs the NFIT driver then registers
"region" devices. A libnvdimm-region defines an access mode and the
boundaries of persistent memory media. A region may span multiple
NVDIMMs that are interleaved by the hardware memory controller. In
turn, a libnvdimm-region can be carved into a "namespace" device and
bound to the PMEM or BLK driver which will attach a Linux block device
(disk) interface to the memory.
PMEM:
Initially merged in v4.1 this driver for contiguous spans of persistent
memory address ranges is re-worked to drive PMEM-namespaces emitted by
the libnvdimm-core. In this update the PMEM driver, on x86, gains the
ability to assert that writes to persistent memory have been flushed all
the way through the caches and buffers in the platform to persistent
media. See memcpy_to_pmem() and wmb_pmem().
BLK:
This new driver enables access to persistent memory media through "Block
Data Windows" as defined by the NFIT. The primary difference of this
driver to PMEM is that only a small window of persistent memory is
mapped into system address space at any given point in time. Per-NVDIMM
windows are reprogrammed at run time, per-I/O, to access different
portions of the media. BLK-mode, by definition, does not support DAX.
BTT:
This is a library, optionally consumed by either PMEM or BLK, that
converts a byte-accessible namespace into a disk with atomic sector
update semantics (prevents sector tearing on crash or power loss). The
sinister aspect of sector tearing is that most applications do not know
they have a atomic sector dependency. At least today's disk's rarely
ever tear sectors and if they do one almost certainly gets a CRC error
on access. NVDIMMs will always tear and always silently. Until an
application is audited to be robust in the presence of sector-tearing
the usage of BTT is recommended.

arch, x86: pmem api for ensuring durability of persistent memory updates
Based on an original patch by Ross Zwisler [1]. Writes to persistent memory have the potential to be posted to cpu cache, cpu write buffers, and platform write buffers (memory controller) before being committed to persistent media. Provide apis, memcpy_to_pmem(), wmb_pmem(), and memremap_pmem(), to write data to pmem and assert that it is durable in PMEM (a persistent linear address range). A '__pmem' attribute is added so sparse can track proper usage of pointers to pmem. This continues the status quo of pmem being x86 only for 4.2, but reworks to ioremap, and wider implementation of memremap() will enable other archs in 4.3.

libnvdimm, pmem: add libnvdimm support to the pmem driver
nd_pmem attaches to persistent memory regions and namespaces emitted by the libnvdimm subsystem, and, same as the original pmem driver, presents the system-physical-address range as a block device. The existing e820-type-12 to pmem setup is converted to an nvdimm_bus that emits an nd_namespace_io device. Note that the X in 'pmemX' is now derived from the parent region. This provides some stability to the pmem devices names from boot-to-boot. The minor numbers are also more predictable by passing 0 to alloc_disk().

x86: Kill CONFIG_X86_HT
In talking to Aravind recently about making certain AMD topology attributes available to the MCE injection module, it seemed like that CONFIG_X86_HT thing is more or less superfluous. It is def_bool y, depends on SMP and gets enabled in the majority of .configs - distro and otherwise - out there. So let's kill it and make code behind it depend directly on SMP.

x86/kconfig: Reorganize arch feature Kconfig select's
Peter Zijstra noticed that in arch/x86/Kconfig there are a lot
of X86_{32,64} clauses in the X86 symbol, plus there are a number
of similar selects in the X86_32 and X86_64 config definitions
as well - which all overlap in an inconsistent mess.
So:
- move all select's from X86_32 and X86_64 to the X64 config
option
- sort their names, so that duplications are easier to spot
- align their if clauses, so that they are easier to identify
at a glance - and so that weirdnesses stand out more
No change in functionality:

EDAC: Cleanup atomic_scrub mess
So first of all, this atomic_scrub() function's naming is bad. It looks like an atomic_t helper. Change it to edac_atomic_scrub(). The bigger problem is that this function is arch-specific and every new arch which doesn't necessarily need that functionality still needs to define it, otherwise EDAC doesn't compile. So instead of doing that and including arch-specific headers, have each arch define an EDAC_ATOMIC_SCRUB symbol which can be used in edac_mc.c for ifdeffery. Much cleaner. And we already are doing this with another symbol - EDAC_SUPPORT. This is also much cleaner than having CONFIG_EDAC enumerate all the arches which need/have EDAC support and drivers. This way I can kill the useless edac.h header in tile too.

hwmon: Allow to compile dell-smm-hwmon driver without /proc/i8k
This patch splits CONFIG_I8K compile option to SENSORS_DELL_SMM and CONFIG_I8K. Option SENSORS_DELL_SMM is now used to enable compilation of dell-smm-hwmon driver and old CONFIG_I8K option to enable /proc/i8k interface in driver. So this change allows to compile dell-smm-hwmon driver without legacy /proc/i8k interface which is needed only for old Dell Inspirion models or for userspace i8kutils package. For backward compatibility when CONFIG_I8K is enabled then also SENSORS_DELL_SMM is enabled and so driver dell-smm-hwmon (with /proc/i8k) is compiled.
