3cd542e6e6 thunderbolt: Add support for PCIe tunneling disabled (SL5)
Recent Intel Thunderbolt firmware connection manager has support for
another security level, SL5, that disables PCIe tunneling. This option
can be turned on from the BIOS.

When this is set the driver exposes a new security level "nopcie" to the
userspace and hides the authorized attribute under connected devices.

While there we also hide it when "dponly" security level is enabled
since it is not really usable in that case anyway.

f83d436aef xfs: increase the default parallelism levels of pwork clients
Increase the parallelism level for pwork clients to the workqueue
defaults so that we can take advantage of computers with a lot of CPUs
and a lot of hardware.  On fast systems this will speed up quotacheck by
a large factor, and the following posteof/cowblocks cleanup series will
use the functionality presented in this patch to run garbage collection
as quickly as possible.

We do this by switching the pwork workqueue to unbounded, since the
current user (quotacheck) runs lengthy scans for each work item and we
don't care about dispatching the work on a warm cpu cache or anything
like that.  Also set WQ_SYSFS so that we can monitor where the wq is
running.

09d85f8d89 dm integrity: introduce the "fix_hmac" argument
The "fix_hmac" argument improves security of internal_hash and
journal_mac:
- the section number is mixed to the mac, so that an attacker can't
  copy sectors from one journal section to another journal section
- the superblock is protected by journal_mac
- a 16-byte salt stored in the superblock is mixed to the mac, so
  that the attacker can't detect that two disks have the same hmac
  key and also to disallow the attacker to move sectors from one
  disk to another

79d7c3dca9 perf/arm-cmn: Fix PMU instance naming
Although it's neat to avoid the suffix for the typical case of a
single PMU, it means systems with multiple CMN instances end up with
inconsistent naming. I think it also breaks perf tool's "uncore alias"
logic if the common instance prefix is also the full name of one.

Avoid any surprises by not trying to be clever and simply numbering
every instance, even when it might technically prove redundant.

fc672d806b media: rockchip: rkisp1: carry ip version information
The IP block evolved from its rk3288/rk3399 base and the vendor
designates them with a numerical version. rk3399 for example
is designated V10 probably meaning V1.0.

There doesn't seem to be an actual version register we could read that
information from, so allow the match_data to carry that information
for future differentiation.

Also carry that information in the hw_revision field of the media-
controller API, so that userspace also has access to that.

The added versions are:
- V10: at least rk3288 + rk3399
- V11: seemingly unused as of now, but probably appeared in some soc
- V12: at least rk3326 + px30
- V13: at least rk1808

3daa96d672 perf/intel: Remove Perfmon-v4 counter_freezing support
Perfmon-v4 counter freezing is fundamentally broken; remove this default
disabled code to make sure nobody uses it.

The feature is called Freeze-on-PMI in the SDM, and if it would do that,
there wouldn't actually be a problem, *however* it does something subtly
different. It globally disables the whole PMU when it raises the PMI,
not when the PMI hits.

This means there's a window between the PMI getting raised and the PMI
actually getting served where we loose events and this violates the
perf counter independence. That is, a counting event should not result
in a different event count when there is a sampling event co-scheduled.

This is known to break existing software (RR).

5c02406428 dm integrity: conditionally disable "recalculate" feature
Otherwise a malicious user could (ab)use the "recalculate" feature
that makes dm-integrity calculate the checksums in the background
while the device is already usable. When the system restarts before all
checksums have been calculated, the calculation continues where it was
interrupted even if the recalculate feature is not requested the next
time the dm device is set up.

Disable recalculating if we use internal_hash or journal_hash with a
key (e.g. HMAC) and we don't have the "legacy_recalculate" flag.

This may break activation of a volume, created by an older kernel,
that is not yet fully recalculated -- if this happens, the user should
add the "legacy_recalculate" flag to constructor parameters.

3da88be249 thunderbolt: Add support for de-authorizing devices
In some cases it is useful to be able de-authorize devices. For example
if user logs out the userspace can have a policy that disconnects PCIe
devices until logged in again. This is only possible for software based
connection manager as it directly controls the tunnels.

For this reason make the authorized attribute accept writing 0 which
makes the software connection manager to tear down the corresponding
PCIe tunnel. Userspace can check if this is supported by reading a new
domain attribute deauthorization, that holds 1 in that case.

While there correct tb_domain_approve_switch() kernel-doc and
description of authorized attribute to mention that it is only about
PCIe tunnels.

It's also useful for those working on Xen and Xen-compatible hypervisors,

e76506f0e8 refscale: Allow summarization of verbose output
The refscale test prints enough per-kthread console output to provoke RCU
CPU stall warnings on large systems.  This commit therefore allows this
output to be summarized.  For example, the refscale.verbose_batched=32
boot parameter would causes only every 32nd line of output to be logged.

2c4319bd1d rcutorture: Test runtime toggling of CPUs' callback offloading
Frederic Weisbecker is adding the ability to change the rcu_nocbs state
of CPUs at runtime, that is, to offload and deoffload their RCU callback
processing without the need to reboot.  As the old saying goes, "if it
ain't tested, it don't work", so this commit therefore adds prototype
rcutorture testing for this capability.

36221e109e rcu: Enable rcu_normal_after_boot unconditionally for RT
Expedited RCU grace periods send IPIs to all non-idle CPUs, and thus can
disrupt time-critical code in real-time applications.  However, there
is a portion of boot-time processing (presumably before any real-time
applications have started) where expedited RCU grace periods are the only
option.  And so it is that experience with the -rt patchset indicates that
PREEMPT_RT systems should always set the rcupdate.rcu_normal_after_boot
kernel boot parameter.

This commit therefore makes the post-boot application environment safe
for real-time applications by making PREEMPT_RT systems disable the
rcupdate.rcu_normal_after_boot kernel boot parameter and acting as
if this parameter had been set.  This means that post-boot calls to
synchronize_rcu_expedited() will be treated as if they were instead
calls to synchronize_rcu(), thus preventing the IPIs, and thus avoiding
disrupting real-time applications.

8b9a0ecc7e rcu: Unconditionally use rcuc threads on PREEMPT_RT
PREEMPT_RT systems have long used the rcutree.use_softirq kernel
boot parameter to avoid use of RCU_SOFTIRQ handlers, which can disrupt
real-time applications by invoking callbacks during return from interrupts
that arrived while executing time-critical code.  This kernel boot
parameter instead runs RCU core processing in an 'rcuc' kthread, thus
allowing the scheduler to do its job of avoiding disrupting time-critical
code.

This commit therefore disables the rcutree.use_softirq kernel boot
parameter on PREEMPT_RT systems, thus forcing such systems to do RCU
core processing in 'rcuc' kthreads.  This approach has long been in
use by users of the -rt patchset, and there have been no complaints.
There is therefore no way for the system administrator to override this
choice, at least without modifying and rebuilding the kernel.
