Pull ARM SoC platform updates from Arnd Bergmann: "These are mostly minor bugfixes, cleanup and many defconfig updates to support added drivers. In particular OMAP and PXA keep cleaning up the legacy code base, as usual. Nvidia adds some more SoC support code for Tegra 186. For the first time on years, we are actually adding a non-DT platform for the EP93xx based Liebherr controller BK3.1. It's a minor variation of the EP93xx reference design and in active use, while EP93xx apparently doesn't have enough new development to have any device tree support" * tag 'armsoc-soc' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm/arm-soc: (73 commits) ARM: omap: hwmod: fix section mismatch warnings ARM: pxa/tosa-bt: add MODULE_LICENSE tag arm64: defconfig: enable CONFIG_ACPI_APEI_EINJ arm64: defconfig: enable EDAC GHES option arm64: defconfig: enable CONFIG_ACPI_APEI_MEMORY_FAILURE ARM: imx_v6_v7_defconfig: enable CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_STAT Wind down ARM/TANGO port ARM: davinci: constify gpio_led ARM: davinci: drop unneeded newline soc: Add SoC driver for Gemini ARM: SAMSUNG: Add SPDX license identifiers ARM: S5PV210: Add SPDX license identifiers ARM: S3C64XX: Add SPDX license identifiers ARM: S3C24XX: Add SPDX license identifiers ARM: EXYNOS: Add SPDX license identifiers ARM: imx: remove unused imx3 pm definitions ARM: imx: don't abort MMDC probe if power saving status doesn't match ARM: imx_v6_v7_defconfig: enable RTC_DRV_MXC_V2 ARM: imx_v6_v7_defconfig: Add missing config for DART-MX6 SoM ARM: davinci: Use PTR_ERR_OR_ZERO() ...

Pull printk updates from Petr Mladek: - Add a console_msg_format command line option: The value "default" keeps the old "[time stamp] text\n" format. The value "syslog" allows to see the syslog-like "<log level>[timestamp] text" format. This feature was requested by people doing regression tests, for example, 0day robot. They want to have both filtered and full logs at hands. - Reduce the risk of softlockup: Pass the console owner in a busy loop. This is a new approach to the old problem. It was first proposed by Steven Rostedt on Kernel Summit 2017. It marks a context in which the console_lock owner calls console drivers and could not sleep. On the other side, printk() callers could detect this state and use a busy wait instead of a simple console_trylock(). Finally, the console_lock owner checks if there is a busy waiter at the end of the special context and eventually passes the console_lock to the waiter. The hand-off works surprisingly well and helps in many situations. Well, there is still a possibility of the softlockup, for example, when the flood of messages stops and the last owner still has too much to flush. There is increasing number of people having problems with printk-related softlockups. We might eventually need to get better solution. Anyway, this looks like a good start and promising direction. - Do not allow to schedule in console_unlock() called from printk(): This reverts an older controversial commit. The reschedule helped to avoid softlockups. But it also slowed down the console output. This patch is obsoleted by the new console waiter logic described above. In fact, the reschedule made the hand-off less effective. - Deprecate "%pf" and "%pF" format specifier: It was needed on ia64, ppc64 and parisc64 to dereference function descriptors and show the real function address. It is done transparently by "%ps" and "pS" format specifier now. Sergey Senozhatsky found that all the function descriptors were in a special elf section and could be easily detected. - Remove printk_symbol() API: It has been obsoleted by "%pS" format specifier, and this change helped to remove few continuous lines and a less intuitive old API. - Remove redundant memsets: Sergey removed unnecessary memset when processing printk.devkmsg command line option. * 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/pmladek/printk: (27 commits) printk: drop redundant devkmsg_log_str memsets printk: Never set console_may_schedule in console_trylock() printk: Hide console waiter logic into helpers printk: Add console owner and waiter logic to load balance console writes kallsyms: remove print_symbol() function checkpatch: add pF/pf deprecation warning symbol lookup: introduce dereference_symbol_descriptor() parisc64: Add .opd based function descriptor dereference powerpc64: Add .opd based function descriptor dereference ia64: Add .opd based function descriptor dereference sections: split dereference_function_descriptor() openrisc: Fix conflicting types for _exext and _stext lib: do not use print_symbol() irq debug: do not use print_symbol() sysfs: do not use print_symbol() drivers: do not use print_symbol() x86: do not use print_symbol() unicore32: do not use print_symbol() sh: do not use print_symbol() mn10300: do not use print_symbol() ...

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt: "There's not much changes for the tracing system this release. Mostly small clean ups and fixes. The biggest change is to how bprintf works. bprintf is used by trace_printk() to just save the format and args of a printf call, and the formatting is done when the trace buffer is read. This is done to keep the formatting out of the fast path (this was recommended by you). The issue is when arguments are de-referenced. If a pointer is saved, and the format has something like "%*pbl", when the buffer is read, it will de-reference the argument then. The problem is if the data no longer exists. This can cause the kernel to oops. The fix for this was to make these de-reference pointes do the formatting at the time it is called (the fast path), as this guarantees that the data exists (and doesn't change later)" * tag 'trace-v4.16' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace: vsprintf: Do not have bprintf dereference pointers ftrace: Mark function tracer test functions noinline/noclone trace_uprobe: Display correct offset in uprobe_events tracing: Make sure the parsed string always terminates with '\0' tracing: Clear parser->idx if only spaces are read tracing: Detect the string nul character when parsing user input string

Merge KASAN word-at-a-time fixups from Andrey Ryabinin. The word-at-a-time optimizations have caused headaches for KASAN, since the whole point is that we access byte streams in bigger chunks, and KASAN can be unhappy about the potential extra access at the end of the string. We used to have a horrible hack in dcache, and then people got complaints from the strscpy() case. This fixes it all up properly, by adding an explicit helper for the "access byte stream one word at a time" case. * emailed patches from Andrey Ryabinin <aryabinin@virtuozzo.com>: fs: dcache: Revert "manually unpoison dname after allocation to shut up kasan's reports" fs/dcache: Use read_word_at_a_time() in dentry_string_cmp() lib/strscpy: Shut up KASAN false-positives in strscpy() compiler.h: Add read_word_at_a_time() function. compiler.h, kasan: Avoid duplicating __read_once_size_nocheck()

dentry_string_cmp() performs the word-at-a-time reads from 'cs' and may read slightly more than it was requested in kmallac(). Normally this would make KASAN to report out-of-bounds access, but this was workarounded by commit df4c0e36 ("fs: dcache: manually unpoison dname after allocation to shut up kasan's reports"). This workaround is not perfect, since it allows out-of-bounds access to dentry's name for all the code, not just in dentry_string_cmp(). So it would be better to use read_word_at_a_time() instead and revert commit df4c0e36.

strscpy() performs the word-at-a-time optimistic reads. So it may may access the memory past the end of the object, which is perfectly fine since strscpy() doesn't use that (past-the-end) data and makes sure the optimistic read won't cross a page boundary. Use new read_word_at_a_time() to shut up the KASAN. Note that this potentially could hide some bugs. In example bellow, stscpy() will copy more than we should (1-3 extra uninitialized bytes): char dst[8]; char *src; src = kmalloc(5, GFP_KERNEL); memset(src, 0xff, 5); strscpy(dst, src, 8); Signed-off-by: Andrey Ryabinin <aryabinin@virtuozzo.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Sometimes we know that it's safe to do potentially out-of-bounds access because we know it won't cross a page boundary. Still, KASAN will report this as a bug. Add read_word_at_a_time() function which is supposed to be used in such cases. In read_word_at_a_time() KASAN performs relaxed check - only the first byte of access is validated.

Pull staging/IIO updates from Greg KH: "Here is the big Staging and IIO driver patches for 4.16-rc1. There is the normal amount of new IIO drivers added, like all releases. The networking IPX and the ncpfs filesystem are moved into the staging tree, as they are on their way out of the kernel due to lack of use anymore. The visorbus subsystem finall has started moving out of the staging tree to the "real" part of the kernel, and the most and fsl-mc codebases are almost ready to move out, that will probably happen for 4.17-rc1 if all goes well.

Bharata has noticed that onlining a newly added memory doesn't increase the total memory, pointing to commit f7f99100 ("mm: stop zeroing memory during allocation in vmemmap") as a culprit. This commit has changed the way how the memory for memmaps is initialized and moves it from the allocation time to the initialization time. This works properly for the early memmap init path. It doesn't work for the memory hotplug though because we need to mark page as reserved when the sparsemem section is created and later initialize it completely during onlining. memmap_init_zone is called in the early stage of onlining. With the current code it calls __init_single_page and as such it clears up the whole stage and therefore online_pages_range skips those pages. Fix this by skipping mm_zero_struct_page in __init_single_page for memory hotplug path. This is quite uggly but unifying both early init and memory hotplug init paths is a large project. Make sure we plug the regression at least.

Workloads consisting of a large number of processes running the same program with a very large shared data segment may experience performance problems when numa balancing attempts to migrate the shared cow pages.

NOTE: change_prot_numa() is nominally called from task_numa_work() and queue_pages_test_walk(). task_numa_work() is the auto NUMA balancing path, and queue_pages_test_walk() is part of explicit NUMA policy management. However, queue_pages_test_walk() only calls change_prot_numa() when MPOL_MF_LAZY is specified and currently that is not allowed, so change_prot_numa() is only called from auto NUMA balancing. In the case of explicit NUMA policy management, shared pages are not migrated unless MPOL_MF_MOVE_ALL is specified, and MPOL_MF_MOVE_ALL depends on CAP_SYS_NICE. Currently, there is no way to pass information about MPOL_MF_MOVE_ALL to change_pte_range. This will have to be fixed if MPOL_MF_LAZY is enabled and MPOL_MF_MOVE_ALL is to be honored in lazy migration mode. task_numa_work() skips the read-only VMAs of programs and shared libraries.

Dan Carpenter has noticed that mbind migration callback (new_page) can get a NULL vma pointer and choke on it inside alloc_huge_page_vma which relies on the VMA to get the hstate. We used to BUG_ON this case but the BUG_+ON has been removed recently by "hugetlb, mempolicy: fix the mbind hugetlb migration". The proper way to handle this is to get the hstate from the migrated page and rely on huge_node (resp. get_vma_policy) do the right thing with null VMA. We are currently falling back to the default mempolicy in that case which is in line what THP path is doing here.

do_mbind migration code relies on alloc_huge_page_noerr for hugetlb pages. alloc_huge_page_noerr uses alloc_huge_page which is a highlevel allocation function which has to take care of reserves, overcommit or hugetlb cgroup accounting. None of that is really required for the page migration because the new page is only temporal and either will replace the original page or it will be dropped. This is essentially as for other migration call paths and there shouldn't be any reason to handle mbind in a special way. The current implementation is even suboptimal because the migration might fail just because the hugetlb cgroup limit is reached, or the overcommit is saturated. Fix this by making mbind like other hugetlb migration paths. Add a new migration helper alloc_huge_page_vma as a wrapper around alloc_huge_page_nodemask with additional mempolicy handling. alloc_huge_page_noerr has no more users and it can go.
