 "Highlights:

   1) Support more Realtek wireless chips, from Jes Sorenson.

   2) New BPF types for per-cpu hash and arrap maps, from Alexei
      Starovoitov.

   3) Make several TCP sysctls per-namespace, from Nikolay Borisov.

   4) Allow the use of SO_REUSEPORT in order to do per-thread processing
   of incoming TCP/UDP connections.  The muxing can be done using a
   BPF program which hashes the incoming packet.  From Craig Gallek.

   5) Add a multiplexer for TCP streams, to provide a messaged based
      interface.  BPF programs can be used to determine the message
      boundaries.  From Tom Herbert.

   6) Add 802.1AE MACSEC support, from Sabrina Dubroca.

   7) Avoid factorial complexity when taking down an inetdev interface
      with lots of configured addresses.  We were doing things like
      traversing the entire address less for each address removed, and
      flushing the entire netfilter conntrack table for every address as
      well.

   8) Add and use SKB bulk free infrastructure, from Jesper Brouer.

   9) Allow offloading u32 classifiers to hardware, and implement for
      ixgbe, from John Fastabend.

  10) Allow configuring IRQ coalescing parameters on a per-queue basis,
      from Kan Liang.

  11) Extend ethtool so that larger link mode masks can be supported.
      From David Decotigny.

  12) Introduce devlink, which can be used to configure port link types
      (ethernet vs Infiniband, etc.), port splitting, and switch device
      level attributes as a whole.  From Jiri Pirko.

  13) Hardware offload support for flower classifiers, from Amir Vadai.

  14) Add "Local Checksum Offload".  Basically, for a tunneled packet
      the checksum of the outer header is 'constant' (because with the
      checksum field filled into the inner protocol header, the payload
      of the outer frame checksums to 'zero'), and we can take advantage
      of that in various ways.  From Edward Cree"

We can use debug_pagealloc_enabled() to check if we can map the identity
mapping with 2MB pages.  We can also add the state into the dump_stack
output.

The patch does not touch the code for the 1GB pages, which ignored
CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC.  Do we need to fence this as well?

show_stack_log_lvl() does not set the log level after a new line, the
following messages printed with pr_cont() are thus assigned to the
default log level.

This patch prepends the log level to the next message following a new
line.

print_trace_address() uses printk(log_lvl). Using printk() with just
a log level is ignored and thus has no effect on the next pr_cont().
We need to prepend the log level directly into the message.

This patch adds arch specific code for kernel address sanitizer.

16TB of virtual addressed used for shadow memory.  It's located in range
[ffffec0000000000 - fffffc0000000000] between vmemmap and %esp fixup
stacks.

At early stage we map whole shadow region with zero page.  Latter, after
pages mapped to direct mapping address range we unmap zero pages from
corresponding shadow (see kasan_map_shadow()) and allocate and map a real
shadow memory reusing vmemmap_populate() function.

Also replace __pa with __pa_nodebug before shadow initialized.  __pa with
CONFIG_DEBUG_VIRTUAL=y make external function call (__phys_addr)
__phys_addr is instrumented, so __asan_load could be called before shadow
area initialized.

Use NOKPROBE_SYMBOL macro for protecting functions
from kprobes instead of __kprobes annotation under
arch/x86.

This applies nokprobe_inline annotation for some cases,
because NOKPROBE_SYMBOL() will inhibit inlining by
referring the symbol address.

This just folds a bunch of previous NOKPROBE_SYMBOL()
cleanup patches for x86 to one patch.

<title>x86/dumpstack: Fix printk_address for direct addresses</title>

<id>urn:sha1:5f01c98859073cb512b01d4fad74b5f4e047be0b</id>
<content type='text'>
Consider a kernel crash in a module, simulated the following way:

 static int my_init(void)
 {
         char *map = (void *)0x5;
         *map = 3;
         return 0;
 }
 module_init(my_init);

When we turn off FRAME_POINTERs, the very first instruction in
that function causes a BUG. The problem is that we print IP in
the BUG report using %pB (from printk_address). And %pB
decrements the pointer by one to fix printing addresses of
functions with tail calls.

This was added in commit 71f9e59800e5ad4 ("x86, dumpstack: Use
%pB format specifier for stack trace") to fix the call stack
printouts.

So instead of correct output:

  BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000005
  IP: [&lt;ffffffffa01ac000&gt;] my_init+0x0/0x10 [pb173]

We get:

  BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000005
  IP: [&lt;ffffffffa0152000&gt;] 0xffffffffa0151fff

To fix that, we use %pS only for stack addresses printouts (via
newly added printk_stack_address) and %pB for regs-&gt;ip (via
printk_address). I.e. we revert to the old behaviour for all
except call stacks. And since from all those reliable is 1, we
remove that parameter from printk_address.

<title>dump_stack: consolidate dump_stack() implementations and unify their behaviors</title>

<id>urn:sha1:196779b9b4ce1922afabdc20d0270720603bd46c</id>
<content type='text'>
Both dump_stack() and show_stack() are currently implemented by each
architecture.  show_stack(NULL, NULL) dumps the backtrace for the
current task as does dump_stack().  On some archs, dump_stack() prints
extra information - pid, utsname and so on - in addition to the
backtrace while the two are identical on other archs.

The usages in arch-independent code of the two functions indicate
show_stack(NULL, NULL) should print out bare backtrace while
dump_stack() is used for debugging purposes when something went wrong,
so it does make sense to print additional information on the task which
triggered dump_stack().

There's no reason to require archs to implement two separate but mostly
identical functions.  It leads to unnecessary subtle information.

This patch expands the dummy fallback dump_stack() implementation in
lib/dump_stack.c such that it prints out debug information (taken from
x86) and invokes show_stack(NULL, NULL) and drops arch-specific
dump_stack() implementations in all archs except blackfin.  Blackfin's
dump_stack() does something wonky that I don't understand.

Debug information can be printed separately by calling
dump_stack_print_info() so that arch-specific dump_stack()
implementation can still emit the same debug information.  This is used
in blackfin.

This patch brings the following behavior changes.

* On some archs, an extra level in backtrace for show_stack() could be
  printed.  This is because the top frame was determined in
  dump_stack() on those archs while generic dump_stack() can't do that
  reliably.  It can be compensated by inlining dump_stack() but not
  sure whether that'd be necessary.

* Most archs didn't use to print debug info on dump_stack().  They do
  now.

An example WARN dump follows.

  [&lt;ffffffff8234a071&gt;] init_workqueues+0x35/0x505
  ...

v2: CPU number added to the generic debug info as requested by s390
    folks and dropped the s390 specific dump_stack().  This loses %ksp
    from the debug message which the maintainers think isn't important
    enough to keep the s390-specific dump_stack() implementation.

    dump_stack_print_info() is moved to kernel/printk.c from
    lib/dump_stack.c.  Because linkage is per objecct file,
    dump_stack_print_info() living in the same lib file as generic
    dump_stack() means that archs which implement custom dump_stack()
    - at this point, only blackfin - can't use dump_stack_print_info()
    as that will bring in the generic version of dump_stack() too.  v1
    The v1 patch broke build on blackfin due to this issue.  The build
    breakage was reported by Fengguang Wu.
