8b477ea563 thermal: rcar: enable to use thermal-zone on DT
This patch enables to use thermal-zone on DT if it was calles as
"renesas,rcar-thermal-gen2".
Previous style (= non thermal-zone) is still supported by
"renesas,rcar-thermal" to keep compatibility for "git bisect".

041bd12e27 Revert "workqueue: make sure delayed work run in local cpu"
This reverts commit 874bbfe600.

Workqueue used to implicity guarantee that work items queued without
explicit CPU specified are put on the local CPU.  Recent changes in
timer broke the guarantee and led to vmstat breakage which was fixed
by 176bed1de5 ("vmstat: explicitly schedule per-cpu work on the CPU
we need it to run on").

vmstat is the most likely to expose the issue and it's quite possible
that there are other similar problems which are a lot more difficult
to trigger.  As a preventive measure, 874bbfe600 ("workqueue: make
sure delayed work run in local cpu") was applied to restore the local
CPU guarnatee.  Unfortunately, the change exposed a bug in timer code
which got fixed by 22b886dd10 ("timers: Use proper base migration in
add_timer_on()").  Due to code restructuring, the commit couldn't be
backported beyond certain point and stable kernels which only had
874bbfe600 started crashing.

The local CPU guarantee was accidental more than anything else and we
want to get rid of it anyway.  As, with the vmstat case fixed,
874bbfe600 is causing more problems than it's fixing, it has been
decided to take the chance and officially break the guarantee by
reverting the commit.  A debug feature will be added to force foreign
CPU assignment to expose cases relying on the guarantee and fixes for
the individual cases will be backported to stable as necessary.

39a169b62b block: fix module reference leak on put_disk() call for cgroups throttle
get_disk(),get_gendisk() calls have non explicit side effect: they
increase the reference on the disk owner module.

The following is the correct sequence how to get a disk reference and
to put it:

    disk = get_gendisk(...);

    /* use disk */

    owner = disk->fops->owner;
    put_disk(disk);
    module_put(owner);

fs/block_dev.c is aware of this required module_put() call, but f.e.
blkg_conf_finish(), which is located in block/blk-cgroup.c, does not put
a module reference.  To see a leakage in action cgroups throttle config
can be used.  In the following script I'm removing throttle for /dev/ram0
(actually this is NOP, because throttle was never set for this device):

    # lsmod | grep brd
    brd                     5175  0
    # i=100; while [ $i -gt 0 ]; do echo "1:0 0" > \
        /sys/fs/cgroup/blkio/blkio.throttle.read_bps_device; i=$(($i - 1)); \
    done
    # lsmod | grep brd
    brd                     5175  100

Now brd module has 100 references.

The issue is fixed by calling module_put() just right away put_disk().

b64e86cdf6 scripts: add "prune-kernel" script to clean up old kernel images
Long ago, Dave Jones complained about CONFIG_LOCALVERSION_AUTO:
 "I don't use the auto config, because I end up filling up /boot unless
  I go through and clean them out by hand every time I install a new one
  (which I do probably a dozen or so times a day).  Is there some easy
  way to prune old builds I'm missing?"

To which Bruce replied:
 "I run this by hand every now and then.  I'm probably doing it all wrong"

And if he is running it wrong, then so am I - because I've been using
this script ever since.  It is true that CONFIG_LOCALVERSION_AUTO easily
ends up filling your /boot partition if you don't clean up old versions
regularly, and this script helps make that easier.

Checked with Bruce to see that it's fine to add this to the kernel
scripts.  Maybe people will come up with enhancements, but more
importantly, this way I won't misplace this script whenever I install a
new machine and start doing custom kernels for it.

3af5a67c86 MIPS: Fix early CM probing
Commit c014d164f2 ("MIPS: Add platform callback before initializing
the L2 cache") added a platform_early_l2_init function in order to allow
platforms to probe for the CM before L2 initialisation is performed, so
that CM GCRs are available to mips_sc_probe.

That commit actually fails to do anything useful, since it checks
mips_cm_revision to determine whether it should call mips_cm_probe but
the result of mips_cm_revision will always be 0 until mips_cm_probe has
been called. Thus the "early" mips_cm_probe call never occurs.

Fix this & drop the useless weak platform_early_l2_init function by
simply calling mips_cm_probe from setup_arch. For platforms that don't
select CONFIG_MIPS_CM this will be a no-op, and for those that do it
removes the requirement for them to call mips_cm_probe manually
(although doing so isn't harmful for now).

58122bf1d8 x86/fpu: Default eagerfpu=on on all CPUs
We have eager and lazy FPU modes, introduced in:

  304bceda6a ("x86, fpu: use non-lazy fpu restore for processors supporting xsave")

The result is rather messy.  There are two code paths in almost all
of the FPU code, and only one of them (the eager case) is tested
frequently, since most kernel developers have new enough hardware
that we use eagerfpu.

It seems that, on any remotely recent hardware, eagerfpu is a win:
glibc uses SSE2, so laziness is probably overoptimistic, and, in any
case, manipulating TS is far slower that saving and restoring the
full state.  (Stores to CR0.TS are serializing and are poorly
optimized.)

To try to shake out any latent issues on old hardware, this changes
the default to eager on all CPUs.  If no performance or functionality
problems show up, a subsequent patch could remove lazy mode entirely.

5ed73f4073 x86/fpu: Fix FNSAVE usage in eagerfpu mode
In eager fpu mode, having deactivated FPU without immediately
reloading some other context is illegal.  Therefore, to recover from
FNSAVE, we can't just deactivate the state -- we need to reload it
if we're not actively context switching.

We had this wrong in fpu__save() and fpu__copy().  Fix both.
__kernel_fpu_begin() was fine -- add a comment.

This fixes a warning triggerable with nofxsr eagerfpu=on.

track_pfn_insert() overwrites the pgprot that is passed in with a value
based on the VMA's page_prot.  This is a problem for people trying to
do clever things with the new vm_insert_pfn_prot() as it will simply
overwrite the passed protection flags.  If we use the current value of
the pgprot as the base, then it will behave as people are expecting.

Also fix track_pfn_remap() in the same way.

a91bbe0175 x86/boot: Use proper array element type in memset() size calculation
I changed open coded zeroing loops to explicit memset()s in the
following commit:

  5e9ebbd87a ("x86/boot: Micro-optimize reset_early_page_tables()")

The base for the size argument of memset was sizeof(pud_p/pmd_p), which
are pointers - but the initialized array has pud_t/pmd_t elements.

Luckily the two types had the same size, so this did not result in any
runtime misbehavior.

4142c3ebb6 sched/numa: Spread memory according to CPU and memory use
The pseudo-interleaving in NUMA placement has a fundamental problem:
using hard usage thresholds to spread memory equally between nodes
can prevent workloads from converging, or keep memory "trapped" on
nodes where the workload is barely running any more.

In order for workloads to properly converge, the memory migration
should not be stopped when nodes reach parity, but instead be
distributed according to how heavily memory is used from each node.
This way memory migration and task migration reinforce each other,
instead of one putting the brakes on the other.

Remove the hard thresholds from the pseudo-interleaving code, and
instead use a more gradual policy on memory placement. This also
seems to improve convergence of workloads that do not run flat out,
but sleep in between bursts of activity.

We still want to slow down NUMA scanning and migration once a workload
has settled on a few actively used nodes, so keep the 3/4 hysteresis
in place. Keep track of whether a workload is actively running on
multiple nodes, so task_numa_migrate does a full scan of the system
for better task placement.

In the case of running 3 SPECjbb2005 instances on a 4 node system,
this code seems to result in fairer distribution of memory between
nodes, with more memory bandwidth for each instance.

ce1143aa60 x86/dmi: Switch dmi_remap() from ioremap() [uncached] to ioremap_cache()
DMI cacheability is very confused on x86.

dmi_early_remap() uses early_ioremap(), which uses FIXMAP_PAGE_IO,
which is __PAGE_KERNEL_IO, which is __PAGE_KERNEL, which is cached.

Don't ask me why this makes any sense.

dmi_remap() uses ioremap(), which requests an uncached mapping.

However, on non-EFI systems, the DMI data generally lives between
0xf0000 and 0x100000, which is in the legacy ISA range, which
triggers a special case in the PAT code that overrides the cache
mode requested by ioremap() and forces a WB mapping.

On a UEFI boot, however, the DMI table can live at any physical
address.  On my laptop, it's around 0x77dd0000.  That's nowhere near
the legacy ISA range, so the ioremap() implicit uncached type is
honored and we end up with a UC- mapping.

UC- is a very, very slow way to read from main memory, so dmi_walk()
is likely to take much longer than necessary.

Given that, even on UEFI, we do early cached DMI reads, it seems
safe to just ask for cached access.  Switch to ioremap_cache().

I haven't tried to benchmark this, but I'd guess it saves several
milliseconds of boot time.

69e0210fd0 x86/kasan: Clear kasan_zero_page after TLB flush
Currently we clear kasan_zero_page before __flush_tlb_all(). This
works with current implementation of native_flush_tlb[_global]()
because it doesn't cause do any writes to kasan shadow memory.
But any subtle change made in native_flush_tlb*() could break this.
Also current code seems doesn't work for paravirt guests (lguest).

Only after the TLB flush we can be sure that kasan_zero_page is not
used as early shadow anymore (instrumented code will not write to it).
So it should cleared it only after the TLB flush.

This patch fixes an issue with unaligned accesses when using
eth_get_headlen on a page that was DMA aligned instead of being IP aligned.
The fact is when trying to check the length we don't need to be looking at
the flow label so we can reorder the checks to first check if we are
supposed to gather the flow label and then make the call to actually get
it.

v2:  Updated path so that either STOP_AT_FLOW_LABEL or KEY_FLOW_LABEL can
     cause us to check for the flow label.

2ebab40eb7 ALSA: hda - Fix bad dereference of jack object
The hda_jack_tbl entries are managed by snd_array for allowing
multiple jacks.  It's good per se, but the problem is that struct
hda_jack_callback keeps the hda_jack_tbl pointer.  Since snd_array
doesn't preserve each pointer at resizing the array, we can't keep the
original pointer but have to deduce the pointer at each time via
snd_array_entry() instead.  Actually, this resulted in the deference
to the wrong pointer on codecs that have many pins such as CS4208.

This patch replaces the pointer to the NID value as the search key.
As an unexpected good side effect, this even simplifies the code, as
only NID is needed in most cases.

a63f38cc4c locking/lockdep: Convert hash tables to hlists
Mike said:

: CONFIG_UBSAN_ALIGNMENT breaks x86-64 kernel with lockdep enabled, i.e.
: kernel with CONFIG_UBSAN_ALIGNMENT=y fails to load without even any error
: message.
:
: The problem is that ubsan callbacks use spinlocks and might be called
: before lockdep is initialized.  Particularly this line in the
: reserve_ebda_region function causes problem:
:
: lowmem = *(unsigned short *)__va(BIOS_LOWMEM_KILOBYTES);
:
: If i put lockdep_init() before reserve_ebda_region call in
: x86_64_start_reservations kernel loads well.

Fix this ordering issue permanently: change lockdep so that it uses hlists
for the hash tables.  Unlike a list_head, an hlist_head is in its
initialized state when it is all-zeroes, so lockdep is ready for operation
immediately upon boot - lockdep_init() need not have run.

The patch will also save some memory.

Probably lockdep_init() and lockdep_initialized can be done away with now.

A slave timer element also unlinks at snd_timer_stop() but it takes
only slave_active_lock.  When a slave is assigned to a master,
however, this may become a race against the master's interrupt
handling, eventually resulting in a list corruption.  The actual bug
could be seen with a syzkaller fuzzer test case in BugLink below.

As a fix, we need to take timeri->timer->lock when timer isn't NULL,
i.e. assigned to a master, while the assignment to a master itself is
protected by slave_active_lock.

cb2517653f sched/debug: Make schedstats a runtime tunable that is disabled by default
schedstats is very useful during debugging and performance tuning but it
incurs overhead to calculate the stats. As such, even though it can be
disabled at build time, it is often enabled as the information is useful.

This patch adds a kernel command-line and sysctl tunable to enable or
disable schedstats on demand (when it's built in). It is disabled
by default as someone who knows they need it can also learn to enable
it when necessary.

The benefits are dependent on how scheduler-intensive the workload is.
If it is then the patch reduces the number of cycles spent calculating
the stats with a small benefit from reducing the cache footprint of the
scheduler.

These measurements were taken from a 48-core 2-socket
machine with Xeon(R) E5-2670 v3 cpus although they were also tested on a
single socket machine 8-core machine with Intel i7-3770 processors.

In constract, this shows a relatively steady 2-3% gain at higher thread
counts. Due to the nature of the patch and the type of workload, it's
not a surprise that the result will depend on the CPU used.

Some small gains and losses and while the variance data is not included,
it's close to the noise. The UMA machine did not show anything particularly
different

Small improvement and similar gains were seen on the UMA machine.

The gain is small but it stands to reason that doing less work in the
scheduler is a good thing. The downside is that the lack of schedstats and
tracepoints may be surprising to experts doing performance analysis until
they find the existence of the schedstats= parameter or schedstats sysctl.
It will be automatically activated for latencytop and sleep profiling to
alleviate the problem. For tracepoints, there is a simple warning as it's
not safe to activate schedstats in the context when it's known the tracepoint
may be wanted but is unavailable.

f7eb59dda1 x86/microcode/AMD: Issue microcode updated message later
Before this, we issued this message from save_microcode_in_initrd()
which is called from free_initrd_mem(), i.e., only when we have an
initrd enabled. However, we can update from builtin microcode too but
then we don't issue the update message.

Fix it by issuing that message on the generic driver init path.

f8bb45e2c4 x86/microcode/intel: Rename mc_saved_in_initrd
Rename it to mc_tmp_ptrs to denote better what it is - a temporary array
for saving pointers to microcode blobs. And "initrd" is not accurate
anymore since initrd is not the only source for early microcode.
Therefore, rename copy_initrd_ptrs() to copy_ptrs() simply and
"initrd_start" to "offset".

And then do the following convention: the global variable is called
"mc_tmp_ptrs" and the local function arguments "mc_ptrs" for
differentiation.

better do it as the first thing we do when entering that function. And
also, turn it into a WARN_ON() because it is not worth to panic the
system if we apply the microcode on the wrong CPU - we're simply going
to exit early.
