      jump_label: disable preemption around __module_text_address(). · bdc9f373
      Rusty Russell authored
      Steven reported a warning caused by not holding module_mutex or
      rcu_read_lock_sched: his backtrace was corrupted but a quick audit
      found this possible cause.  It's wrong anyway...

      exceptions: fork exception table content from module.h into extable.h · 0ef76537
      Paul Gortmaker authored
      For historical reasons (i.e. pre-git) the exception table stuff was
      buried in the middle of the module.h file.  I noticed this while
      doing an audit for needless includes of module.h and found core
      kernel files (both arch specific and arch independent) were just
      including module.h for this.
      
      The converse is also true, in that conventional drivers, be they
      for filesystems or actual hardware peripherals or similar, do not
      normally care about the exception tables.
      
      Here we fork the exception table content out of module.h into a
      new file called extable.h -- and temporarily include it into the
      module.h itself.
      
      Then we will work our way across the arch independent and arch
      specific files needing just exception table content, and move
      them off module.h and onto extable.h
      
      Once that is done, we can remove the extable.h from module.h
      and in doing it like this, we avoid introducing build failures
      into the git history.
      
      The gain here is that module.h gets a bit smaller, across all
      modular drivers that we build for allmodconfig.  Also the core
      files that only need exception table stuff don't have an include
      of module.h that brings in lots of extra stuff and just looks
      generally out of place.

      modules: Add kernel parameter to blacklist modules · be7de5f9
      Prarit Bhargava authored
      Blacklisting a module in linux has long been a problem.  The current
      procedure is to use rd.blacklist=module_name, however, that doesn't
      cover the case after the initramfs and before a boot prompt (where one
      is supposed to use /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf to blacklist
      runtime loading). Using rd.shell to get an early prompt is hit-or-miss,
      and doesn't cover all situations AFAICT.
      
      This patch adds this functionality of permanently blacklisting a module
      by its name via the kernel parameter module_blacklist=module_name.
      
      [v2]: Rusty, use core_param() instead of __setup() which simplifies
      things.
      
      [v3]: Rusty, undo wreckage from strsep()
      
      [v4]: Rusty, simpler version of blacklisted()

      module: Do a WARN_ON_ONCE() for assert module mutex not held · 9502514f
      Steven Rostedt authored
      When running with lockdep enabled, I triggered the WARN_ON() in the
      module code that asserts when module_mutex or rcu_read_lock_sched are
      not held. The issue I have is that this can also be called from the
      dump_stack() code, causing us to enter an infinite loop...

       "This branch also contains core changes.  I've come to the conclusion
        that from 4.9 and forward, I'll be doing just a single branch.  We

        always split them up appropriately without pulling core into drivers
        when that happens.

         - separate secure erase type for the core block layer, from
           Christoph.
      
         - set of discard fixes, from Christoph.

         - mg_disk error path fix from Bart.
      
         - user notification for failed device add for loop, from Minfei.
      
         - NVMe in general:
              + NVMe delay quirk from Guilherme.
              + SR-IOV support and command retry limits from Keith.
              + fix for memory-less NUMA node from Masayoshi.

          https://lwn.net/Articles/692705/
      
        Closer to home, Documentation/kernel-documentation.rst describes how
        it works.
      
        For now, the new system exists alongside the old one; you should soon
        see the GPU documentation converted over in the DRM pull and some
        significant media conversion work as well.  Once all the docs have
        been moved over and we're convinced that the rough edges (of which are
        are a few) have been smoothed over, the DocBook-based stuff should go
        away.
      
        Primary credit is to Jani Nikula for doing the heavy lifting to make
        this stuff actually work; there has also been notable effort from
        Markus Heiser, Daniel Vetter, and Mauro Carvalho Chehab.
      
        Expect a couple of conflicts on the new index.rst file over the course
        of the merge window; they are trivially resolvable.  That file may be
        a bit of a conflict magnet in the short term, but I don't expect that
        situation to last for any real length of time.
      
        Beyond that, of course, we have the usual collection of tweaks,
        updates, and typo fixes"

      Pull s390 updates from Martin Schwidefsky:
       "There are a couple of new things for s390 with this merge request:
      
         - a new scheduling domain "drawer" is added to reflect the unusual
           topology found on z13 machines.  Performance tests showed up to 8
           percent gain with the additional domain.
      
         - the new crc-32 checksum crypto module uses the vector-galois-field
           multiply and sum SIMD instruction to speed up crc-32 and crc-32c.
      
         - proper __ro_after_init support, this requires RO_AFTER_INIT_DATA in
           the generic vmlinux.lds linker script definitions.
      
         - kcov instrumentation support.  A prerequisite for that is the
           inline assembly basic block cleanup, which is the reason for the
           net/iucv/iucv.c change.
      
         - support for 2GB pages is added to the hugetlbfs backend.
      
        Then there are two removals:
      
         - the oprofile hardware sampling support is dead code and is removed.
           The oprofile user space uses the perf interface nowadays.
      
         - the ETR clock synchronization is removed, this has been superseeded
           be the STP clock synchronization.  And it always has been
           "interesting" code..
      
        And the usual bug fixes and cleanups"

      Pull KVM leftovers from Radim Krčmář:
       "This is a combination of two pull requests for 4.7-rc8 that were not
        merged due to looking hairy.  I have changed the tag message to focus
        on circumstances of contained reverts as they were likely the reason
        behind rejection.
      
        This merge introduces three patches that are later reverted,
      
         - Switching of MSR_TSC_AUX in SVM was thought to cause a host
           misbehavior, but it was later cleared of those doubts and the patch
           moved code to a hot path, so we reverted it.  That patch also
           needed a fix for 32 bit builds and both were reverted in one go.
      
         - Al Viro noticed that a fix for a leak in an error path was not
           valid with the given API and provided a better fix, so the original
           patch was reverted.
      
        Then there are two VMX fixes that move code around because VMCS was
        not accessed between vcpu_load() and vcpu_put(), a simple ARM VHE fix,
        and two one-liners for PML and MTRR"

      Pull perf updates from Ingo Molnar:
       "With over 300 commits it's been a busy cycle - with most of the work
        concentrated on the tooling side (as it should).
      
        The main kernel side enhancements were:
      
         - Add per event callchain limit: Recently we introduced a sysctl to
           tune the max-stack for all events for which callchains were
           requested:
      
             $ sysctl kernel.perf_event_max_stack
             kernel.perf_event_max_stack = 127
      
           Now this patch introduces a way to configure this per event, i.e.
           this becomes possible:
      
             $ perf record -e sched:*/max-stack=2/ -e block:*/max-stack=10/ -a
      
           allowing finer tuning of how much buffer space callchains use.
      
           This uses an u16 from the reserved space at the end, leaving
           another u16 for future use.
      
           There has been interest in even finer tuning, namely to control the
           max stack for kernel and userspace callchains separately.  Further
           discussion is needed, we may for instance use the remaining u16 for
           that and when it is present, assume that the sample_max_stack
           introduced in this patch applies for the kernel, and the u16 left
           is used for limiting the userspace callchain (Arnaldo Carvalho de
           Melo)
      
         - Optimize AUX event (hardware assisted side-band event) delivery
           (Kan Liang)
      
         - Rework Intel family name macro usage (this is partially x86 arch
           work) (Dave Hansen)
      
         - Refine and fix Intel LBR support (David Carrillo-Cisneros)
      
         - Add support for Intel 'TopDown' events (Andi Kleen)
      
         - Intel uncore PMU driver fixes and enhancements (Kan Liang)
      
         - ... other misc changes.
      
        Here's an incomplete list of the tooling enhancements (but there's
        much more, see the shortlog and the git log for details):
      
         - Support cross unwinding, i.e.  collecting '--call-graph dwarf'
           perf.data files in one machine and then doing analysis in another
           machine of a different hardware architecture.  This enables, for
           instance, to do:
      
             $ perf record -a --call-graph dwarf
      
           on a x86-32 or aarch64 system and then do 'perf report' on it on a
           x86_64 workstation (He Kuang)
      
         - Allow reading from a backward ring buffer (one setup via
           sys_perf_event_open() with perf_event_attr.write_backward = 1)
           (Wang Nan)
      
         - Finish merging initial SDT (Statically Defined Traces) support, see
           cset comments for details about how it all works (Masami Hiramatsu)
      
         - Support attaching eBPF programs to tracepoints (Wang Nan)
      
         - Add demangling of symbols in programs written in the Rust language
           (David Tolnay)
      
         - Add support for tracepoints in the python binding, including an
           example, that sets up and parses sched:sched_switch events,
           tools/perf/python/tracepoint.py (Jiri Olsa)
      
         - Introduce --stdio-color to set up the color output mode selection
           in 'annotate' and 'report', allowing emit color escape sequences
           when redirecting the output of these tools (Arnaldo Carvalho de
           Melo)
      
         - Add 'callindent' option to 'perf script -F', to indent the Intel PT
           call stack, making this output more ftrace-like (Adrian Hunter,
           Andi Kleen)
      
         - Allow dumping the object files generated by llvm when processing
           eBPF scriptlet events (Wang Nan)
      
         - Add stackcollapse.py script to help generating flame graphs (Paolo
           Bonzini)
      
         - Add --ldlat option to 'perf mem' to specify load latency for loads
           event (e.g. cpu/mem-loads/ ) (Jiri Olsa)
      
         - Tooling support for Intel TopDown counters, recently added to the
           kernel (Andi Kleen)"

      Revert "perf tools: event.h needs asm/perf_regs.h" · 4e3ba8af
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored
      This reverts commit e083a21f.
      
      Not needed at all, tools/perf/util/perf_regs.h, included via:
      
        #include "perf_regs.h"
      
      Should have a definition for PERF_REGS_MAX, and since this is dependent
      on HAVE_PERF_REGS_SUPPORT, fixes the build on powerpc, noticed by trying
      to cross compile this from ubuntu16.04 with a locally build libz &
      elfutils pair, since those are not available in multilib packages.
