      s390: add a system call for guarded storage · 916cda1a
      Martin Schwidefsky authored 
      This adds a new system call to enable the use of guarded storage for
user space processes. The system call takes two arguments, a command
and pointer to a guarded storage control block:

    s390_guarded_storage(int command, struct gs_cb *gs_cb);

The second argument is relevant only for the GS_SET_BC_CB command.

The commands in detail:

0 - GS_ENABLE
    Enable the guarded storage facility for the current task. The
    initial content of the guarded storage control block will be
    all zeros. After the enablement the user space code can use
    load-guarded-storage-controls instruction (LGSC) to load an
    arbitrary control block. While a task is enabled the kernel
    will save and restore the current content of the guarded
    storage registers on context switch.
1 - GS_DISABLE
    Disables the use of the guarded storage facility for the current
    task. The kernel will cease to save and restore the content of
    the guarded storage registers, the task specific content of
    these registers is lost.
2 - GS_SET_BC_CB
    Set a broadcast guarded storage control block. This is called
    per thread and stores a specific guarded storage control block
    in the task struct of the current task. This control block will
    be used for the broadcast event GS_BROADCAST.
3 - GS_CLEAR_BC_CB
    Clears the broadcast guarded storage control block. The guarded-
    storage control block is removed from the task struct that was
    established by GS_SET_BC_CB.
4 - GS_BROADCAST
    Sends a broadcast to all thread siblings of the current task.
    Every sibling that has established a broadcast guarded storage
    control block will load this control block and will be enabled
    for guarded storage. The broadcast guarded storage control block
    is used up, a second broadcast without a refresh of the stored
    control block with GS_SET_BC_CB will not have any effect.

      remoteproc: qcom: fix QCOM_SMD dependencies · c3104aae
      Arnd Bergmann authored 
      qcom_smd_register_edge() is provided by either QCOM_SMD or RPMSG_QCOM_SMD,
and if both of them are disabled, it does nothing.

The check for the PIL drivers however only checks for QCOM_SMD, so it breaks
with QCOM_SMD=n && RPMSG_QCOM_SMD=m:

drivers/remoteproc/built-in.o: In function `smd_subdev_remove':
qcom_wcnss_iris.c:(.text+0x231c): undefined reference to `qcom_smd_unregister_edge'
drivers/remoteproc/built-in.o: In function `smd_subdev_probe':
qcom_wcnss_iris.c:(.text+0x2344): undefined reference to `qcom_smd_register_edge'
drivers/remoteproc/built-in.o: In function `smd_subdev_probe':
qcom_q6v5_pil.c:(.text+0x3538): undefined reference to `qcom_smd_register_edge'
qcom_q6v5_pil.c:(.text+0x3538): relocation truncated to fit: R_AARCH64_CALL26 against undefined symbol `qcom_smd_register_edge'

This clarifies the Kconfig dependency.

Fixes: 4b48921a ("remoteproc: qcom: Use common SMD edge handler")

      f2fs: combine nat_bits and free_nid_bitmap cache · 7041d5d2
      Chao Yu authored 
      Both nat_bits cache and free_nid_bitmap cache provide same functionality
as a intermediate cache between free nid cache and disk, but with
different granularity of indicating free nid range, and different
persistence policy. nat_bits cache provides better persistence ability,
and free_nid_bitmap provides better granularity.

In this patch we combine advantage of both caches, so finally policy of
the intermediate cache would be:
- init: load free nid status from nat_bits into free_nid_bitmap
- lookup: scan free_nid_bitmap before load NAT blocks
- update: update free_nid_bitmap in real-time
- persistence: udpate and persist nat_bits in checkpoint

This patch also resolves performance regression reported by lkp-robot.

      mm/swap: don't BUG_ON() due to uninitialized swap slot cache · 452b94b8
      Linus Torvalds authored 
      This BUG_ON() triggered for me once at shutdown, and I don't see a
reason for the check.  The code correctly checks whether the swap slot
cache is usable or not, so an uninitialized swap slot cache is not
actually problematic afaik.

I've temporarily just switched the BUG_ON() to a WARN_ON_ONCE(), since
I'm not sure why that seemingly pointless check was there.  I suspect
the real fix is to just remove it entirely, but for now we'll warn about
it but not bring the machine down.

   in the parisc perf code (and some code cleanups).

 - I wired up the new statx system call, fixed some compiler warnings
   with the access_ok() macro and fixed shutdown code to really halt a
   system at shutdown instead of crashing & rebooting.
