Raising the current maximum limit to 64. This is needed for Cavium's Thunder systems that will have at least 48 cores per die. The change keeps the current memory footprint in cpu mask structures. It does not break existing code. Setting the maximum to 64 cpus still boots systems with less cpus. Mark's Juno happily booted with a NR_CPUS=64 kernel. Tested on our Thunder system with 48 cores. We could see interrupts to all cores.

The JIT compiler emits A64 instructions. It supports eBPF only. Legacy BPF is supported thanks to conversion by BPF core. JIT is enabled in the same way as for other architectures: echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/core/bpf_jit_enable Or for additional compiler output: echo 2 > /proc/sys/net/core/bpf_jit_enable See Documentation/networking/filter.txt for more information. The implementation passes all 57 tests in lib/test_bpf.c on ARMv8 Foundation Model :) Also tested by Will on Juno platform.

The current soft_restart() and setup_restart implementations incorrectly assume that compiler will not spill/fill values to/from stack. However this assumption seems to be wrong, revealed by the disassembly of the currently existing code (v3.16) built with Linaro GCC 4.9-2014.05. ffffffc000085224 <soft_restart>: ffffffc000085224: a9be7bfd stp x29, x30, [sp,#-32]! ffffffc000085228: 910003fd mov x29, sp ffffffc00008522c: f9000fa0 str x0, [x29,#24] ffffffc000085230: 94003d21 bl ffffffc0000946b4 <setup_mm_for_reboot> ffffffc000085234: 94003b33 bl ffffffc000093f00 <flush_cache_all> ffffffc000085238: 94003dfa bl ffffffc000094a20 <cpu_cache_off> ffffffc00008523c: 94003b31 bl ffffffc000093f00 <flush_cache_all> ffffffc000085240: b0003321 adrp x1, ffffffc0006ea000 <reset_devices> ffffffc000085244: f9400fa0 ldr x0, [x29,#24] ----> spilled addr ffffffc000085248: f942fc22 ldr x2, [x1,#1528] ----> global memstart_addr ffffffc00008524c: f0000061 adrp x1, ffffffc000094000 <__inval_cache_range+0x40> ffffffc000085250: 91290021 add x1, x1, #0xa40 ffffffc000085254: 8b010041 add x1, x2, x1 ffffffc000085258: d2c00802 mov x2, #0x4000000000 // #274877906944 ffffffc00008525c: 8b020021 add x1, x1, x2 ffffffc000085260: d63f0020 blr x1 ... Here the compiler generates memory accesses after the cache is disabled, loading stale values for the spilled value and global variable. As we cannot control when the compiler will access memory we must rewrite the functions in assembly to stash values we need in registers prior to disabling the cache, avoiding the use of memory.

If we cannot relocate the kernel Image to its preferred offset of base of DRAM plus TEXT_OFFSET, instead relocate it to the lowest available 2 MB boundary plus TEXT_OFFSET. We may lose a bit of memory at the low end, but we can still proceed normally otherwise.

The static memory footprint of a kernel Image at boot is larger than the Image file itself. Things like .bss data and initial page tables are allocated statically but populated dynamically so their content is not contained in the Image file. However, if EFI (or GRUB) has loaded the Image at precisely the desired offset of base of DRAM + TEXT_OFFSET, the Image will be booted in place, and we have to make sure that the allocation done by the PE/COFF loader is large enough. Fix this by growing the PE/COFF .text section to cover the entire static memory footprint. The part of the section that is not covered by the payload will be zero initialised by the PE/COFF loader.

Mark Rutland authored
In certain cases the cpu-release-addr of a CPU may not fall in the linear mapping (e.g. when the kernel is loaded above this address due to the presence of other images in memory). This is problematic for the spin-table code as it assumes that it can trivially convert a cpu-release-addr to a valid VA in the linear map. This patch modifies the spin-table code to use a temporary cached mapping to write to a given cpu-release-addr, enabling us to support addresses regardless of whether they are covered by the linear mapping.

VIPT caches are non-aliasing if the index is derived from address bits that are always equal between VA and PA.

Pull ACPI and power management fixes from Rafael Wysocki: "These are regression fixes (ACPI sysfs, ACPI video, suspend test), ACPI cpuidle deadlock fix, missing runtime validation of ACPI _DSD output, a fix and a new CPU ID for the RAPL driver, new blacklist entry for the ACPI EC driver and a couple of trivial cleanups (intel_pstate and generic PM domains).

Commit 0244756e ("ufs: sb mutex merge + mutex_destroy") introduces deadlocks in ufs_new_inode() and ufs_free_inode(). Most callers of that functions acqure the mutex by themselves and ufs_{new,free}_inode() do that via lock_ufs(), i.e we have an unavoidable double lock. The patch proposes to resolve the issue by making sure that ufs_{new,free}_inode() are not called with the mutex held. Found by Linux Driver Verification project (linuxtesting.org).
