Pull timer updates from Thomas Gleixner: "Yet another big pile of changes: - More year 2038 work from Arnd slowly reaching the point where we need to think about the syscalls themself. - A new timer function which allows to conditionally (re)arm a timer only when it's either not running or the new expiry time is sooner than the armed expiry time. This allows to use a single timer for multiple timeout requirements w/o caring about the first expiry time at the call site. - A new NMI safe accessor to clock real time for the printk timestamp work. Can be used by tracing, perf as well if required. - A large number of timer setup conversions from Kees which got collected here because either maintainers requested so or they simply got ignored. As Kees pointed out already there are a few trivial merge conflicts and some redundant commits which was unavoidable due to the size of this conversion effort. - Avoid a redundant iteration in the timer wheel softirq processing. - Provide a mechanism to treat RTC implementations depending on their hardware properties, i.e. don't inflict the write at the 0.5 seconds boundary which originates from the PC CMOS RTC to all RTCs. No functional change as drivers need to be updated separately. - The usual small updates to core code clocksource drivers.

Pull irq core updates from Thomas Gleixner: "A rather large update for the interrupt core code and the irq chip drivers: - Add a new bitmap matrix allocator and supporting changes, which is used to replace the x86 vector allocator which comes with separate pull request. This allows to replace the convoluted nested loop allocation function in x86 with a facility which supports the recently added property of managed interrupts proper and allows to switch to a best effort vector reservation scheme, which addresses problems with vector exhaustion. - A large update to the ARM GIC-V3-ITS driver adding support for range selectors. - New interrupt controllers: - Meson and Meson8 GPIO - BCM7271 L2 - Socionext EXIU If you expected that this will stop at some point, I have to disappoint you. There are new ones posted already. Sigh! - STM32 interrupt controller support for new platforms. - A pile of fixes, cleanups and updates to the MIPS GIC driver - The usual small fixes, cleanups and updates all over the place.

Pull x86 core updates from Ingo Molnar: "Note that in this cycle most of the x86 topics interacted at a level that caused them to be merged into tip:x86/asm - but this should be a temporary phenomenon, hopefully we'll back to the usual patterns in the next merge window. The main changes in this cycle were: Hardware enablement: - Add support for the Intel UMIP (User Mode Instruction Prevention) CPU feature. This is a security feature that disables certain instructions such as SGDT, SLDT, SIDT, SMSW and STR. (Ricardo Neri) [ Note that this is disabled by default for now, there are some smaller enhancements in the pipeline that I'll follow up with in the next 1-2 days, which allows this to be enabled by default.] - Add support for the AMD SEV (Secure Encrypted Virtualization) CPU feature, on top of SME (Secure Memory Encryption) support that was added in v4.14. (Tom Lendacky, Brijesh Singh) - Enable new SSE/AVX/AVX512 CPU features: AVX512_VBMI2, GFNI, VAES, VPCLMULQDQ, AVX512_VNNI, AVX512_BITALG.

Pull perf updates from Ingo Molnar: "The main changes in this cycle were: Kernel: - kprobes updates: use better W^X patterns for code modifications, improve optprobes, remove jprobes. (Masami Hiramatsu, Kees Cook) - core fixes: event timekeeping (enabled/running times statistics) fixes, perf_event_read() locking fixes and cleanups, etc. (Peter Zijlstra) - Extend x86 Intel free-running PEBS support and support x86 user-register sampling in perf record and perf script. (Andi Kleen) Tooling: - Completely rework the way inline frames are handled. Instead of querying for the inline nodes on-demand in the individual tools, we now create proper callchain nodes for inlined frames. (Milian Wolff) - 'perf trace' updates (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo) - Implement a way to print formatted output to per-event files in 'perf script' to facilitate generate flamegraphs, elliminating the need to write scripts to do that separation (yuzhoujian, Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo) - Update vendor events JSON metrics for Intel's Broadwell, Broadwell Server, Haswell, Haswell Server, IvyBridge, IvyTown, JakeTown, Sandy Bridge, Skylake, SkyLake Server - and Goldmont Plus V1 (Andi Kleen, Kan Liang) - Multithread the synthesizing of PERF_RECORD_ events for pre-existing threads in 'perf top', speeding up that phase, greatly improving the user experience in systems such as Intel's Knights Mill (Kan Liang) - Introduce the concept of weak groups in 'perf stat': try to set up a group, but if it's not schedulable fallback to not using a group. That gives us the best of both worlds: groups if they work, but still a usable fallback if they don't.

Pull OpenRISC updates from Stafford Horne: "The OpenRISC work is a bit more interesting this time, adding SMP support and a few general cleanups. Small Things: - Move OpenRISC docs into Documentation and clean them up - Document previously undocumented devicetree bindings - Update the or1ksim dts to use stdout-path OpenRISC SMP support details: - First the "use shadow registers" and "define CPU_BIG_ENDIAN as true" get the architecture ready for SMP. - The "add 1 and 2 byte cmpxchg support" and "use qspinlocks and qrwlocks" add the SMP locking infrastructure as needed. Using the qspinlocks and qrwlocks as suggested by Peter Z while reviewing the original spinlocks implementation. - The "support for ompic" adds a new irqchip device which is used for IPI communication to support SMP. - The "initial SMP support" adds smp.c and makes changes to all of the necessary data-structures to be per-cpu. The remaining patches are bug fixes and debug helpers which I wanted to keep separate from the "initial SMP support" in order to allow them to be reviewed on their own.

As reported by kernelci and other build bots, we now get a link failure without CONFIG_KALLSYMS: module.c:(.text+0xf2c): undefined reference to `kallsyms_show_value' This adds a dummy helper with the same name that can be used for compilation. It's not entirely clear to me what this should return for !CONFIG_KALLSYMS, I picked an unconditional 'false', which leads to the module address being unavailable to user space.

This code goes back to the historical bitkeeper tree commit 3f7b0672 ("Module section offsets in /sys/module"), where Jonathan Corbet wanted to show people how to debug loadable modules. See https://lwn.net/Articles/88052/ from June 2004. To expose the required load address information, Jonathan added the sections subdirectory for every module in /sys/modules, and made them S_IRUGO - readable by everybody. It was a more innocent time, plus those S_IRxxx macro names are a lot more confusing than the octal numbers are, so maybe it wasn't even intentional. But here we are, thirteen years later, and I'll just change it to S_IRUSR instead. Let's see if anybody even notices.

Merge /proc/kallsyms pointer value restrictions. Instead of using %pK, and making it about root access (at the wrong time, no less), make the whole choice of whether to show the actual pointer value be very explicit to the kallsyms code. In particular, we can now default to not doing so, and yet avoid annoying kernel profiling by actually looking at whether kernel profiling is allowed or not (by default it is not). This is all mostly preparation for the real "let's stop leaking kernel addresses" work that Tobin Harding is working on. Small steps. * kallsyms-restrictions: stop using '%pK' for /proc/kallsyms pointer values

If ffz() ever returns a value >= 31 then the following shift is undefined behaviour because the literal 1 which gets shifted is treated as signed integer. In practice, the bug is probably harmless, since the first undefined shift count is 31 which results - ignoring UB - in (int)(0x80000000). This gets sign extended so bit 32-63 will be set as well and all subsequent __setup_irq() calls would just end up hitting the -EBUSY branch. However, a sufficiently aggressive optimizer may use the UB of 1<<31 to decide that doesn't happen, and hence elide the sign-extension code, so that subsequent calls can indeed get ffz > 31. In any case, the right thing to do is to make the literal 1UL. [ tglx: For this to happen a single interrupt would have to be shared by 32 devices.

Add a function, similar to mod_timer(), that will start a timer if it isn't running and will modify it if it is running and has an expiry time longer than the new time. If the timer is running with an expiry time that's the same or sooner, no change is made. The function looks like: int timer_reduce(struct timer_list *timer, unsigned long expires); This can be used by code such as networking code to make it easier to share a timer for multiple timeouts. For instance, in upcoming AF_RXRPC code, the rxrpc_call struct will maintain a number of timeouts: unsigned long ack_at; unsigned long resend_at; unsigned long ping_at; unsigned long expect_rx_by; unsigned long expect_req_by; unsigned long expect_term_by; each of which is set independently of the others. With timer reduction available, when the code needs to set one of the timeouts, it only needs to look at that timeout and then call timer_reduce() to modify the timer, starting it or bringing it forward if necessary. There is no need to refer to the other timeouts to see which is earliest and no need to take any lock other than, potentially, the timer lock inside timer_reduce(). Note, that this does not protect against concurrent invocations of any of the timer functions. As an example, the expect_rx_by timeout above, which terminates a call if we don't get a packet from the server within a certain time window, would be set something like this: unsigned long now = jiffies; unsigned long expect_rx_by = now + packet_receive_timeout; WRITE_ONCE(call->expect_rx_by, expect_rx_by); timer_reduce(&call->timer, expect_rx_by); The timer service code (which might, say, be in a work function) would then check all the timeouts to see which, if any, had triggered, deal with those: t = READ_ONCE(call->ack_at); if (time_after_eq(now, t)) { cmpxchg(&call->ack_at, t, now + MAX_JIFFY_OFFSET); set_bit(RXRPC_CALL_EV_ACK, &call->events); } and then restart the timer if necessary by finding the soonest timeout that hasn't yet passed and then calling timer_reduce(). The disadvantage of doing things this way rather than comparing the timers each time and calling mod_timer() is that you *will* take timer events unless you can finish what you're doing and delete the timer in time. The advantage of doing things this way is that you don't need to use a lock to work out when the next timer should be set, other than the timer's own lock - which you might not have to take.
