Example 3 contains a typo:

"C0" in "# echo C0 > p0/cpus" is wrong because it specifies core
6-7 instead of wanted core 4-7.

Correct this typo to avoid confusion.

Clang does not support this machine dependent option.

Older versions of GCC (pre 3.0) may not support this option, added in
2000, but it's unlikely they can still compile a working kernel.

This partially reverts commit:

  23b2a4dd ("x86/boot/32: Defer resyncing initial_page_table until per-cpu is set up")

That commit had one definite bug and one potential bug.  The
definite bug is that setup_per_cpu_areas() uses a differnet generic
implementation on UP kernels, so initial_page_table never got
resynced.  This was fine for access to percpu data (it's in the
identity map on UP), but it breaks other users of
initial_page_table.  The potential bug is that helpers like
efi_init() would be called before the tables were synced.

Avoid both problems by just syncing the page tables in setup_arch()
*and* setup_per_cpu_areas().

Kexec sets up all identity mappings before booting into the new
kernel, and this will cause extra memory consumption for paging
structures which is quite considerable on modern machines with
huge memory sizes.

E.g. on a 32TB machine that is kdumping, it could waste around
128MB (around 4MB/TB) from the reserved memory after kexec sets
all the identity mappings using the current 2MB page.

Add to that the memory needed for the loaded kdump kernel, initramfs,
etc., and it causes a kexec syscall -NOMEM failure.

As a result, we had to enlarge reserved memory via "crashkernel=X"
to work around this problem.

This causes some trouble for distributions that use policies
to evaluate the proper "crashkernel=X" value for users.

So enable gbpages for kexec mappings.

Kernel identity mappings on x86-64 kernels are created in two
ways: by the early x86 boot code, or by kernel_ident_mapping_init().

Native kernels (which is the dominant usecase) use the former,
but the kexec and the hibernation code uses kernel_ident_mapping_init().

There's a subtle difference between these two ways of how identity
mappings are created, the current kernel_ident_mapping_init() code
creates identity mappings always using 2MB page(PMD level) - while
the native kernel boot path also utilizes gbpages where available.

This difference is suboptimal both for performance and for memory
usage: kernel_ident_mapping_init() needs to allocate pages for the
page tables when creating the new identity mappings.

This patch adds 1GB page(PUD level) support to kernel_ident_mapping_init()
to address these concerns.

The primary advantage would be better TLB coverage/performance,
because we'd utilize 1GB TLBs instead of 2MB ones.

It is also useful for machines with large number of memory to
save paging structure allocations(around 4MB/TB using 2MB page)
when setting identity mappings for all the memory, after using
1GB page it will consume only 8KB/TB.

( Note that this change alone does not activate gbpages in kexec,
  we are doing that in a separate patch. )

The compressed boot function error() is used to halt execution, but it
wasn't marked with "noreturn". This fixes that in preparation for
supporting kernel FORTIFY_SOURCE, which uses the noreturn annotation
on panic, and calls error(). GCC would warn about a noreturn function
calling a non-noreturn function:

  arch/x86/boot/compressed/misc.c: In function ‘fortify_panic’:

The constraint "rm" allows the compiler to put mix_const into memory.
When the input operand is a memory location then MUL needs an operand
size suffix, since Clang can't infer the multiplication width from the
operand.

Add and use the _ASM_MUL macro which determines the operand size and
resolves to the NUL instruction with the corresponding suffix.

This fixes the following error when building with clang:

  CC      arch/x86/lib/kaslr.o

Jeff Moyer reported that on his system with two memory regions 0~64G and
1T~1T+192G, and kernel option "memmap=192G!1024G" added, enabling KASLR
will make the system hang intermittently during boot. While adding 'nokaslr'
won't.

The back trace is:

 Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP

 RIP: memcpy_erms()
 [ .... ]
 Call Trace:
  pmem_rw_page()
  bdev_read_page()
  do_mpage_readpage()

  generic_file_read_iter()
  blkdev_read_iter()
  __vfs_read()
  vfs_read()
  SyS_read()
  entry_SYSCALL_64_fastpath()

This crash happens because the for loop count calculation in sync_global_pgds()
is not correct. When a mapping area crosses PGD entries, we should
calculate the starting address of region which next PGD covers and assign
it to next for loop count, but not add PGDIR_SIZE directly. The old
code works right only if the mapping area is an exact multiple of PGDIR_SIZE,
otherwize the end region could be skipped so that it can't be synchronized
to all other processes from kernel PGD init_mm.pgd.

In Jeff's system, emulated pmem area [1024G, 1216G) is smaller than
PGDIR_SIZE. While 'nokaslr' works because PAGE_OFFSET is 1T aligned, it
makes this area be mapped inside one PGD entry. With KASLR enabled,
this area could cross two PGD entries, then the next PGD entry won't
be synced to all other processes. That is why we saw empty PGD.

Fix it.

Andrey Konovalov reported the following warning while fuzzing the kernel
with syzkaller:

  WARNING: kernel stack regs at ffff8800686869f8 in a.out:4933 has bad 'bp' value c3fc855a10167ec0

The unwinder dump revealed that RBP had a bad value when an interrupt
occurred in csum_partial_copy_generic().

That function saves RBP on the stack and then overwrites it, using it as
a scratch register.  That's problematic because it breaks stack traces
if an interrupt occurs in the middle of the function.

Replace the usage of RBP with another callee-saved register (R15) so
stack traces are no longer affected.

Pull AVR32 removal from Hans-Christian Noren Egtvedt:
 "This will remove support for AVR32 architecture from the kernel and
  clean away the most obvious architecture related parts. Removing dead
  code in drivers is the next step"

Notes from previous discussion about this:
 "The AVR32 architecture is not keeping up with the development of the
  kernel, and since it shares so much of the drivers with Atmel ARM SoC,
  it is starting to hinder these drivers to develop swiftly.

  Also, all AVR32 AP7 SoC processors are end of lifed from Atmel (now
  Microchip).

  Finally, the GCC toolchain is stuck at version 4.2.x, and has not
  received any patches since the last release from Atmel;
  4.2.4-atmel.1.1.3.avr32linux.1.

  When building kernel v4.10, this toolchain is no longer able to
  properly link the network stack.

  Haavard and I have came to the conclusion that we feel keeping AVR32
  on life support offers more obstacles for Atmel ARMs, than it gives
  joy to AVR32 users. I also suspect there are very few AVR32 users left
  today, if anybody at all"

That discussion was acked by Andy Shevchenko, Boris Brezillon, Nicolas
Ferre, and Haavard Skinnemoen.

* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/egtvedt/linux-avr32:
  mm: remove AVR32 arch special handling in mm/Kconfig
  lib: remove check for AVR32 arch in test_user_copy
  lib: remove AVR32 entry in Kconfig.debug compile with frame pointers
  scripts: remove AVR32 support from checkstack.pl
  docs: remove all references to AVR32 architecture
  avr32: remove support for AVR32 architecture

Starting from gcc-5.4+ gcc generates MLX instructions in more cases to
refer local symbols:

    https://gcc.gnu.org/PR60465

That caused ia64 module loader to choke on such instructions:

    fuse: invalid slot number 1 for IMM64

The Linux kernel used to handle only case where relocation pointed to
slot=2 instruction in the bundle.  That limitation was fixed in linux by
commit 9c184a07 ("[IA64] Fix 2.6 kernel for the new ia64 assembler")
See

    http://sources.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1433

This change lifts the slot=2 restriction from the kernel module loader.

Tested on 'fuse' and 'btrfs' kernel modules.

     that could be used to tell it to ignore errors on device
     hot-removal which was dangerous in general and no real and still

     Hocko).

   - Make the core device enumeration code use _PXM to associate
     platform devices created by it with specific NUMA nodes (Shanker
     Donthineni).

   - Extend the CPPC library by adding more sysfs entries for
     performance capabilities to it and making it use the lowest
     nonlinear performance parameter (Prashanth Prakash).

   - Make the CPU online more consistent with CPU initialization in the
     ACPI processor driver (Prashanth Prakash).

   - Update the AC and battery drivers to help them avoid attaching to
     devices that cannot be handled by them and update the

     systems without the INT3496 device (Hans de Goede).

   - Add an ACPI operation region driver for the Intel CHT Whiskey Cove

     IIO which isn't really necessary for it to work (Hans de Goede).

   - Add a new entry for Dell Inspiron 7537 to the _REV quirk blacklist

Pull power management updates from Rafael Wysocki:
 "This time the majority of changes go to the cpufreq subsystem (and to
  the intel_pstate driver in particular) and there are some updates in
  the generic power domains framework, cpuidle, tools and a couple of
  other places.

  One thing worth mentioning is that the intel_pstate's sysfs interface
  has been reworked to be more consistent with the general expectations
  of the cpufreq core and less confusing, hopefully for the better.
  Also, we have a new cpufreq driver for Tegra186 and new hardware
  support in intel_pstata and the Mediatek cpufreq driver.

  Apart from that, the AnalyzeSuspend utility for system suspend
  profiling gets a companion called AnalyzeBoot for the analogous
  profiling of system boot and they both go into one place under
  tools/power/pm-graph/.

  The rest is mostly fixes, cleanups and code reorganization.

  Specifics:

   - Rework the intel_pstate driver's sysfs interface to make it more
     straightforward and more intuitive (Rafael Wysocki).

   - Make intel_pstate support all processors which advertise HWP
     (hardware-managed P-states) to the kernel in all operation modes
     and make it use the load-based P-state selection algorithm on a
     wider range of systems in the active mode (Rafael Wysocki).

   - Add cpufreq driver for Tegra186 (Mikko Perttunen).

   - Add support for Gemini Lake SoCs to intel_pstate (David Box).

   - Add support for MT8176 and MT817x to the Mediatek cpufreq driver
     and clean up that driver a bit (Daniel Kurtz).

   - Clean up intel_pstate and optimize it slightly (Rafael Wysocki).

   - Update the schedutil cpufreq governor, mostly to fix a couple of
     issues with it related to specific workloads, and rework its sysfs
     tunable and initialization a bit (Rafael Wysocki, Viresh Kumar).

   - Fix minor issues in the imx6q, dbx500 and qoriq cpufreq drivers
     (Christophe Jaillet, Irina Tirdea, Leonard Crestez, Viresh Kumar,
     YuanTian Tang).

   - Add file patterns for cpufreq DT bindings to MAINTAINERS (Geert
     Uytterhoeven).

   - Add support for "always on" power domains to the genpd (generic
     power domains) framework and clean up that code somewhat (Ulf
     Hansson, Lina Iyer, Viresh Kumar).

   - Fix minor issues in the powernv cpuidle driver and clean it up
     (Anton Blanchard, Gautham Shenoy).

   - Move the AnalyzeSuspend utility under tools/power/pm-graph/ and add

     Brandt).

   - Add rk3328 support to the rockchip-io AVS (Adaptive Voltage

Pull cgroup updates from Tejun Heo:
 "Nothing major. Two notable fixes are Li's second stab at fixing the
  long-standing race condition in the mount path and suppression of
  spurious warning from cgroup_get(). All other changes are trivial"

* 'for-4.12' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/cgroup:
  cgroup: mark cgroup_get() with __maybe_unused
  cgroup: avoid attaching a cgroup root to two different superblocks, take 2
  cgroup: fix spurious warnings on cgroup_is_dead() from cgroup_sk_alloc()
  cgroup: move cgroup_subsys_state parent field for cache locality
  cpuset: Remove cpuset_update_active_cpus()'s parameter.
  cgroup: switch to BUG_ON()
  cgroup: drop duplicate header nsproxy.h
  kernel: convert css_set.refcount from atomic_t to refcount_t
  kernel: convert cgroup_namespace.count from atomic_t to refcount_t

Pull workqueue update from Tejun Heo:
 "One trivial patch to use setup_deferrable_timer() instead of
  open-coding the initialization"

* 'for-4.12' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/wq:
  workqueue: use setup_deferrable_timer

Pull libata updates from Tejun Heo:
 "The biggest core change is removal of SCT WRITE SAME support, which
  never worked properly.

  Other than that, trivial updates in core code and specific embedded
  driver updates"

* 'for-4.12' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/libata:
  libata: remove SCT WRITE SAME support
  libata: reject passthrough WRITE SAME requests

Pull LED updates from Jacek Anaszewski:
 "New drivers:

   - add LED support for MT6323 PMIC

   - add LED support for Motorola CPCAP PMIC

  New features and improvements:

   - add LED trigger for all CPUs aggregated which is useful on tiny
     boards with more CPU cores than LED pins

   - add OF variants of LED registering functions as a preparation for
     adding generic support for Device Tree parsing

   - dell-led improvements and cleanups, followed by moving it to the
     x86 platform driver subsystem which is a more appropriate place for
     it

   - extend pca9532 Device Tree support by adding the LEDs
     'default-state' property

   - extend pca963x Device Tree support by adding nxp,inverted-out
     property for inverting the polarity of the output

   - remove ACPI support for lp3952 since it relied on a non-official
     ACPI IDs"
