git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm/arm-soc Pull more ARM SoC updates from Olof Johansson: "A few updates that we merged late but are low risk for regressions for other platforms (and a few other straggling patches): - I mis-tagged the 'drivers' branch, and missed 3 patches.

2019-01-04panic: add options to print system info when panic happensFeng Tang
Kernel panic issues are always painful to debug, partially because it's not easy to get enough information of the context when panic happens. And we have ramoops and kdump for that, while this commit tries to provide a easier way to show the system info by adding a cmdline parameter, referring some idea from sysrq handler.

2018-12-11x86/speculation/l1tf: Drop the swap storage limit restriction when l1tf=offMichal Hocko
Swap storage is restricted to max_swapfile_size (~16TB on x86_64) whenever the system is deemed affected by L1TF vulnerability. Even though the limit is quite high for most deployments it seems to be too restrictive for deployments which are willing to live with the mitigation disabled. We have a customer to deploy 8x 6,4TB PCIe/NVMe SSD swap devices which is clearly out of the limit. Drop the swap restriction when l1tf=off is specified. It also doesn't make much sense to warn about too much memory for the l1tf mitigation when it is forcefully disabled by the administrator.

The Intel vt-d spec rev3.0 introduces a new translation mode called scalable mode, which enables PASID-granular translations for first level, second level, nested and pass-through modes. At the same time, the previous Extended Context (ECS) mode is deprecated (no production ever implements ECS). This patch adds enumeration for Scalable Mode and removes the deprecated ECS enumeration. It provides a boot time option to disable scalable mode even hardware claims to support it.

2018-11-30psi: make disabling/enabling easier for vendor kernelsJohannes Weiner
Mel Gorman reports a hackbench regression with psi that would prohibit shipping the suse kernel with it default-enabled, but he'd still like users to be able to opt in at little to no cost to others. With the current combination of CONFIG_PSI and the psi_disabled bool set from the commandline, this is a challenge. Do the following things to make it easier: 1. Add a config option CONFIG_PSI_DEFAULT_DISABLED that allows distros to enable CONFIG_PSI in their kernel but leave the feature disabled unless a user requests it at boot-time. To avoid double negatives, rename psi_disabled= to psi=. 2. Make psi_disabled a static branch to eliminate any branch costs when the feature is disabled. In terms of numbers before and after this patch, Mel says: : The following is a comparision using CONFIG_PSI=n as a baseline against : your patch and a vanilla kernel : : 4.20.0-rc4 4.20.0-rc4 4.20.0-rc4 : kconfigdisable-v1r1 vanilla psidisable-v1r1 : Amean 1 1.3100 ( 0.00%) 1.3923 ( -6.28%) 1.3427 ( -2.49%) : Amean 3 3.8860 ( 0.00%) 4.1230 * -6.10%* 3.8860 ( -0.00%) : Amean 5 6.8847 ( 0.00%) 8.0390 * -16.77%* 6.7727 ( 1.63%) : Amean 7 9.9310 ( 0.00%) 10.8367 * -9.12%* 9.9910 ( -0.60%) : Amean 12 16.6577 ( 0.00%) 18.2363 * -9.48%* 17.1083 ( -2.71%) : Amean 18 26.5133 ( 0.00%) 27.8833 * -5.17%* 25.7663 ( 2.82%) : Amean 24 34.3003 ( 0.00%) 34.6830 ( -1.12%) 32.0450 ( 6.58%) : Amean 30 40.0063 ( 0.00%) 40.5800 ( -1.43%) 41.5087 ( -3.76%) : Amean 32 40.1407 ( 0.00%) 41.2273 ( -2.71%) 39.9417 ( 0.50%) : : It's showing that the vanilla kernel takes a hit (as the bisection : indicated it would) and that disabling PSI by default is reasonably : close in terms of performance for this particular workload on this : particular machine so; Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20181127165329.GA29728@cmpxchg.org Signed-off-by: Johannes Weiner <hannes@cmpxchg.org> Tested-by: Mel Gorman <mgorman@techsingularity.net> Reported-by: Mel Gorman <mgorman@techsingularity.net> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2018-11-28x86/speculation: Add seccomp Spectre v2 user space protection modeThomas Gleixner
If 'prctl' mode of user space protection from spectre v2 is selected on the kernel command-line, STIBP and IBPB are applied on tasks which restrict their indirect branch speculation via prctl. SECCOMP enables the SSBD mitigation for sandboxed tasks already, so it makes sense to prevent spectre v2 user space to user space attacks as well. The Intel mitigation guide documents how STIPB works: Setting bit 1 (STIBP) of the IA32_SPEC_CTRL MSR on a logical processor prevents the predicted targets of indirect branches on any logical processor of that core from being controlled by software that executes (or executed previously) on another logical processor of the same core. Ergo setting STIBP protects the task itself from being attacked from a task running on a different hyper-thread and protects the tasks running on different hyper-threads from being attacked. While the document suggests that the branch predictors are shielded between the logical processors, the observed performance regressions suggest that STIBP simply disables the branch predictor more or less completely. Of course the document wording is vague, but the fact that there is also no requirement for issuing IBPB when STIBP is used points clearly in that direction. The kernel still issues IBPB even when STIBP is used until Intel clarifies the whole mechanism. IBPB is issued when the task switches out, so malicious sandbox code cannot mistrain the branch predictor for the next user space task on the same logical processor.

2018-10-26mm: provide kernel parameter to allow disabling page init poisoningAlexander Duyck
Patch series "Address issues slowing persistent memory initialization", v5. The main thing this patch set achieves is that it allows us to initialize each node worth of persistent memory independently. As a result we reduce page init time by about 2 minutes because instead of taking 30 to 40 seconds per node and going through each node one at a time, we process all 4 nodes in parallel in the case of a 12TB persistent memory setup spread evenly over 4 nodes. This patch (of 3): On systems with a large amount of memory it can take a significant amount of time to initialize all of the page structs with the PAGE_POISON_PATTERN value. I have seen it take over 2 minutes to initialize a system with over 12TB of RAM. In order to work around the issue I had to disable CONFIG_DEBUG_VM and then the boot time returned to something much more reasonable as the arch_add_memory call completed in milliseconds versus seconds. However in doing that I had to disable all of the other VM debugging on the system. In order to work around a kernel that might have CONFIG_DEBUG_VM enabled on a system that has a large amount of memory I have added a new kernel parameter named "vm_debug" that can be set to "-" in order to disable it.

Leading to a 27% speedup for our context switch benchmark on Power9. - Improvements to our handling of SLB multi-hit errors. We now print more debug information when they occur, and try to continue running by flushing the SLB and reloading, rather than treating them as fatal. - Enable THP migration on 64-bit Book3S machines (eg. Power7/8/9). - Add support for physical memory up to 2PB in the linear mapping on 64-bit Book3S. We only support up to 512TB as regular system memory, otherwise the percpu allocator runs out of vmalloc space. - Add stack protector support for 32 and 64-bit, with a per-task canary. - Add support for PTRACE_SYSEMU and PTRACE_SYSEMU_SINGLESTEP. - Support recognising "big cores" on Power9, where two SMT4 cores are presented to us as a single SMT8 core. - A large series to cleanup some of our ioremap handling and PTE flags. - Add a driver for the PAPR SCM (storage class memory) interface, allowing guests to operate on SCM devices (acked by Dan). - Changes to our ftrace code to handle very large kernels, where we need to use a trampoline to get to ftrace_caller().

2018-10-02x86/earlyprintk: Add a force option for pciserial deviceFeng Tang
The "pciserial" earlyprintk variant helps much on many modern x86 platforms, but unfortunately there are still some platforms with PCI UART devices which have the wrong PCI class code. In that case, the current class code check does not allow for them to be used for logging. Add a sub-option "force" which overrides the class code check and thus the use of such device can be enforced.

McKenney: - Documentation updates, including some good-eye catches from Joel Fernandes. - SRCU updates, most notably changes enabling call_srcu() to be invoked very early in the boot sequence. - Torture-test updates, including some preliminary work towards making rcutorture better able to find problems that result in insufficient grace-period forward progress. - Consolidate the RCU-bh, RCU-preempt, and RCU-sched flavors into a single flavor similar to RCU-sched in !PREEMPT kernels and into a single flavor similar to RCU-preempt (but also waiting on preempt-disabled sequences of code) in PREEMPT kernels. This branch also includes a refactoring of rcu_{nmi,irq}_{enter,exit}() from Byungchul Park. - Now that there is only one RCU flavor in any given running kernel, the many "rsp" pointers are no longer required, and this cleanup series removes them. - This branch carries out additional cleanups made possible by the RCU flavor consolidation, including inlining how-trivial functions, updating comments and definitions, and removing now-unneeded rcutorture scenarios. - Initial changes to RCU to better promote forward progress of grace periods, including fixing a bug found by Marius Hillenbrand and David Woodhouse, with the fix suggested by Peter Zijlstra. - Now that there is only one flavor of RCU in any running kernel, there is also only on rcu_data structure per CPU. This means that the rcu_dynticks structure can be merged into the rcu_data structure, a task taken on by this branch. This branch also contains a -rt-related fix from Mike Galbraith.

2018-10-02perf/x86/intel: Add a separate Arch Perfmon v4 PMI handlerAndi Kleen
Implements counter freezing for Arch Perfmon v4 (Skylake and newer). This allows to speed up the PMI handler by avoiding unnecessary MSR writes and make it more accurate. The Arch Perfmon v4 PMI handler is substantially different than the older PMI handler. Differences to the old handler: - It relies on counter freezing, which eliminates several MSR writes from the PMI handler and lowers the overhead significantly. It makes the PMI handler more accurate, as all counters get frozen atomically as soon as any counter overflows. So there is much less counting of the PMI handler itself. With the freezing we don't need to disable or enable counters or PEBS. Only BTS which does not support auto-freezing still needs to be explicitly managed. - The PMU acking is done at the end, not the beginning. This makes it possible to avoid manual enabling/disabling of the PMU, instead we just rely on the freezing/acking. - The APIC is acked before reenabling the PMU, which avoids problems with LBRs occasionally not getting unfreezed on Skylake. - Looping is only needed to workaround a corner case which several PMIs are very close to each other. For common cases, the counters are freezed during PMI handler. It doesn't need to do re-check. This patch: - Adds code to enable v4 counter freezing - Fork <=v3 and >=v4 PMI handlers into separate functions. - Add kernel parameter to disable counter freezing. It took some time to debug counter freezing, so in case there are new problems we added an option to turn it off. Would not expect this to be used until there are new bugs. - Only for big core. The patch for small core will be posted later separately. Performance: When profiling a kernel build on Kabylake with different perf options, measuring the length of all NMI handlers using the nmi handler trace point: V3 is without counter freezing. V4 is with counter freezing. The value is the average cost of the PMI handler.

2018-09-14xen/balloon: add runtime control for scrubbing ballooned out pagesMarek Marczykowski-Górecki
Scrubbing pages on initial balloon down can take some time, especially in nested virtualization case (nested EPT is slow). When HVM/PVH guest is started with memory= significantly lower than maxmem=, all the extra pages will be scrubbed before returning to Xen. But since most of them weren't used at all at that point, Xen needs to populate them first (from populate-on-demand pool). In nested virt case (Xen inside KVM) this slows down the guest boot by 15-30s with just 1.5GB needed to be returned to Xen. Add runtime parameter to enable/disable it, to allow initially disabling scrubbing, then enable it back during boot (for example in initramfs). Such usage relies on assumption that a) most pages ballooned out during initial boot weren't used at all, and b) even if they were, very few secrets are in the guest at that time (before any serious userspace kicks in). Convert CONFIG_XEN_SCRUB_PAGES to CONFIG_XEN_SCRUB_PAGES_DEFAULT (also enabled by default), controlling default value for the new runtime switch.
