git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/pmladek/printk
Pull printk updates from Petr Mladek:
- Add a console_msg_format command line option:
The value "default" keeps the old "[time stamp] text\n" format. The
value "syslog" allows to see the syslog-like "<log
level>[timestamp] text" format.
This feature was requested by people doing regression tests, for
example, 0day robot. They want to have both filtered and full logs
at hands.
- Reduce the risk of softlockup:
Pass the console owner in a busy loop.
This is a new approach to the old problem. It was first proposed by
Steven Rostedt on Kernel Summit 2017. It marks a context in which
the console_lock owner calls console drivers and could not sleep.
On the other side, printk() callers could detect this state and use
a busy wait instead of a simple console_trylock(). Finally, the
console_lock owner checks if there is a busy waiter at the end of
the special context and eventually passes the console_lock to the
waiter.
The hand-off works surprisingly well and helps in many situations.
Well, there is still a possibility of the softlockup, for example,
when the flood of messages stops and the last owner still has too
much to flush.
There is increasing number of people having problems with
printk-related softlockups. We might eventually need to get better
solution. Anyway, this looks like a good start and promising
direction.
- Do not allow to schedule in console_unlock() called from printk():
This reverts an older controversial commit. The reschedule helped
to avoid softlockups. But it also slowed down the console output.
This patch is obsoleted by the new console waiter logic described
above. In fact, the reschedule made the hand-off less effective.
- Deprecate "%pf" and "%pF" format specifier:
It was needed on ia64, ppc64 and parisc64 to dereference function
descriptors and show the real function address. It is done
transparently by "%ps" and "pS" format specifier now.
Sergey Senozhatsky found that all the function descriptors were in
a special elf section and could be easily detected.
- Remove printk_symbol() API:
It has been obsoleted by "%pS" format specifier, and this change
helped to remove few continuous lines and a less intuitive old API.
- Remove redundant memsets:
Sergey removed unnecessary memset when processing printk.devkmsg
command line option.

Instead of marking the pmd ready for split, invalidate the pmd. This
should take care of powerpc requirement. Only side effect is that we
mark the pmd invalid early. This can result in us blocking access to
the page a bit longer if we race against a thp split.

We need an atomic way to setup pmd page table entry, avoiding races with
CPU setting dirty/accessed bits. This is required to implement
pmdp_invalidate() that doesn't lose these bits.
On PAE we can avoid expensive cmpxchg8b for cases when new page table
entry is not present. If it's present, fallback to cpmxchg loop.

There is no need to have ARCH_SUPPORTS_DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT, as all
the page initialization code is in common code.
Also, there is no need to depend on MEMORY_HOTPLUG, as initialization
code does not really use hotplug memory functionality. So, we can
remove this requirement as well.
This patch allows to use deferred struct page initialization on all
platforms with memblock allocator.
Tested on x86, arm64, and sparc. Also, verified that code compiles on
PPC with CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG disabled.

Pull GPIO updates from Linus Walleij:
"The is the bulk of GPIO changes for the v4.16 kernel cycle. It is
pretty calm this time around I think. I even got time to get to things
like starting to clean up header includes.
Core changes:
- Disallow open drain and open source flags to be set simultaneously.
This doesn't make electrical sense, and would the hardware actually
respond to this setting, the result would be short circuit.
- ACPI GPIO has a new core infrastructure for handling quirks. The
quirks are there to deal with broken ACPI tables centrally instead
of pushing the work to individual drivers. In the world of BIOS
writers, the ACPI tables are perfect. Until they find a mistake in
it. When such a mistake is found, we can patch it with a quirk. It
should never happen, the problem is that it happens. So we
accomodate for it.
- Several documentation updates.
- Revert the patch setting up initial direction state from reading
the device. This was causing bad things for drivers that can't read
status on all its pins. It is only affecting debugfs information
quality.
- Label descriptors with the device name if no explicit label is
passed in.
- Pave the ground for transitioning SPI and regulators to use GPIO
descriptors by implementing some quirks in the device tree GPIO
parsing code.
New drivers:
- New driver for the Access PCIe IDIO 24 family.
Other:
- Major refactorings and improvements to the GPIO mockup driver used
for test and verification.
- Moved the AXP209 driver over to pin control since it gained a pin
control back-end. These patches will appear (with the same hashes)
in the pin control pull request as well.
- Convert the onewire GPIO driver w1-gpio to use descriptors. This is
merged here since the W1 maintainers send very few pull requests
and he ACKed it.
- Start to clean up driver headers using <linux/gpio.h> to just use
<linux/gpio/driver.h> as appropriate"

Pull poll annotations from Al Viro:
"This introduces a __bitwise type for POLL### bitmap, and propagates
the annotations through the tree. Most of that stuff is as simple as
'make ->poll() instances return __poll_t and do the same to local
variables used to hold the future return value'.
Some of the obvious brainos found in process are fixed (e.g. POLLIN
misspelled as POLL_IN). At that point the amount of sparse warnings is
low and most of them are for genuine bugs - e.g. ->poll() instance
deciding to return -EINVAL instead of a bitmap. I hadn't touched those
in this series - it's large enough as it is.
Another problem it has caught was eventpoll() ABI mess; select.c and
eventpoll.c assumed that corresponding POLL### and EPOLL### were
equal. That's true for some, but not all of them - EPOLL### are
arch-independent, but POLL### are not.
The last commit in this series separates userland POLL### values from
the (now arch-independent) kernel-side ones, converting between them
in the few places where they are copied to/from userland. AFAICS, this
is the least disruptive fix preserving poll(2) ABI and making epoll()
work on all architectures.
As it is, it's simply broken on sparc - try to give it EPOLLWRNORM and
it will trigger only on what would've triggered EPOLLWRBAND on other
architectures. EPOLLWRBAND and EPOLLRDHUP, OTOH, are never triggered
at all on sparc. With this patch they should work consistently on all
architectures"

Pull siginfo cleanups from Eric Biederman:
"Long ago when 2.4 was just a testing release copy_siginfo_to_user was
made to copy individual fields to userspace, possibly for efficiency
and to ensure initialized values were not copied to userspace.
Unfortunately the design was complex, it's assumptions unstated, and
humans are fallible and so while it worked much of the time that
design failed to ensure unitialized memory is not copied to userspace.
This set of changes is part of a new design to clean up siginfo and
simplify things, and hopefully make the siginfo handling robust enough
that a simple inspection of the code can be made to ensure we don't
copy any unitializied fields to userspace.
The design is to unify struct siginfo and struct compat_siginfo into a
single definition that is shared between all architectures so that
anyone adding to the set of information shared with struct siginfo can
see the whole picture. Hopefully ensuring all future si_code
assignments are arch independent.
The design is to unify copy_siginfo_to_user32 and
copy_siginfo_from_user32 so that those function are complete and cope
with all of the different cases documented in signinfo_layout. I don't
think there was a single implementation of either of those functions
that was complete and correct before my changes unified them.
The design is to introduce a series of helpers including
force_siginfo_fault that take the values that are needed in struct
siginfo and build the siginfo structure for their callers. Ensuring
struct siginfo is built correctly.
The remaining work for 4.17 (unless someone thinks it is post -rc1
material) is to push usage of those helpers down into the
architectures so that architecture specific code will not need to deal
with the fiddly work of intializing struct siginfo, and then when
struct siginfo is guaranteed to be fully initialized change copy
siginfo_to_user into a simple wrapper around copy_to_user.
Further there is work in progress on the issues that have been
documented requires arch specific knowledge to sort out.
The changes below fix or at least document all of the issues that have
been found with siginfo generation. Then proceed to unify struct
siginfo the 32 bit helpers that copy siginfo to and from userspace,
and generally clean up anything that is not arch specific with regards
to siginfo generation.
It is a lot but with the unification you can of siginfo you can
already see the code reduction in the kernel"

Pull arm64 updates from Catalin Marinas:
"The main theme of this pull request is security covering variants 2
and 3 for arm64. I expect to send additional patches next week
covering an improved firmware interface (requires firmware changes)
for variant 2 and way for KPTI to be disabled on unaffected CPUs
(Cavium's ThunderX doesn't work properly with KPTI enabled because of
a hardware erratum).
Summary:
- Security mitigations:
- variant 2: invalidate the branch predictor with a call to
secure firmware
- variant 3: implement KPTI for arm64
- 52-bit physical address support for arm64 (ARMv8.2)
- arm64 support for RAS (firmware first only) and SDEI (software
delegated exception interface; allows firmware to inject a RAS
error into the OS)
- perf support for the ARM DynamIQ Shared Unit PMU
- CPUID and HWCAP bits updated for new floating point multiplication

timestamp needed to reorder events (Jiri Olsa)
- Generalize the annotation code to support other source information
besides objdump/DWARF obtained ones, starting with python scripts,
that will is slated to be merged soon (Jiri Olsa)
- ... and a lot more that I failed to list, see the shortlog and
changelog for details"

Pull RCU updates from Ingo Molnar:
"The main RCU changes in this cycle were:
- Updates to use cond_resched() instead of cond_resched_rcu_qs()
where feasible (currently everywhere except in kernel/rcu and in
kernel/torture.c). Also a couple of fixes to avoid sending IPIs to
offline CPUs.
- Updates to simplify RCU's dyntick-idle handling.
- Updates to remove almost all uses of smp_read_barrier_depends() and
read_barrier_depends().

Now that the DT core code handles bootmem arches, we can remove the xtensa
specific early_init_dt_alloc_memory_arch function. The common
early_init_dt_add_memory_arch can be used too now that xtensa switched to
memblock.

Pull x86/pti updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"Another set of melted spectrum related changes:
- Code simplifications and cleanups for RSB and retpolines.
- Make the indirect calls in KVM speculation safe.
- Whitelist CPUs which are known not to speculate from Meltdown and
prepare for the new CPUID flag which tells the kernel that a CPU is
not affected.
- A less rigorous variant of the module retpoline check which merily
warns when a non-retpoline protected module is loaded and reflects
that fact in the sysfs file.
- Prepare for Indirect Branch Prediction Barrier support.
- Prepare for exposure of the Speculation Control MSRs to guests, so
guest OSes which depend on those "features" can use them. Includes
a blacklist of the broken microcodes. The actual exposure of the
MSRs through KVM is still being worked on"
