      Pull pin control updates from Linus Walleij:
       "This is the bulk of pin control patches for the v4.5 series.
      
        Notably I have a patch to driver core from Stephen Boyd in the pull
        request, this has been ACKed by Greg so it should be OK.  The internal
        API needed some tweaking to allow modular Qualcomm pin controllers.
      
        There is a bit of development history in here but it should all add up
        nicely and has boiled in linux-next.  For example I merged in v4.4-rc5
        to get rid of some nasty merge conflicts.
      
        Summary:
      
         - New drivers:
            - PXA2xx pin controller support
            - Broadcom NSP pin controller support
      
         - New subdrivers:
            - Samsung EXYNOS5410 support
            - Qualcomm MSM8996 support
            - Qualcomm PM8994 support
            - Qualcomm PM8994 MPP support
            - Allwinner sunxi H3 support
            - Allwinner sunxi A80 support
            - Rockchip RK3228 support
      
         - Rename the Cygnus pinctrl driver to "iproc" as it is more generic
           than was originally thought.
      
         - A bunch of Lantiq/Xway updates especially from the OpenWRT people.
      
         - Several refactorings for the Super-H SH PFC pin controllers.
           Adding SCIF_CLK support.
      
         - Several fixes to the Atlas 7 driver.
      
         - Various fixes all over the place"

      Pull libata updates from Tejun Heo:
       "Mostly low level driver specific changes.
      
        Two changes are somewhat noteworthy.  First, Dan's patchset to support
        per-port msix interrupt handling for ahci, which was tried last cycle
        but had to be backed out due to a couple issues, is back and seems to
        be working fine.  Second, libata exception handling now uses
        usleep_range() instead of msleep() for sleeps < 20ms which can make
        things snappier in some corner cases"

       "Workqueue changes for v4.5.  One cleanup patch and three to improve
        the debuggability.
      
        Workqueue now has a stall detector which dumps workqueue state if any
        worker pool hasn't made forward progress over a certain amount of time
        (30s by default) and also triggers a warning if a workqueue which can
        be used in memory reclaim path tries to wait on something which can't
        be.
      
        These should make workqueue hangs a lot easier to debug."

         - Introduce the 'perf stat record/report' workflow:
      
           Generate perf.data files from 'perf stat', to tap into the
           scripting capabilities perf has instead of defining a 'perf stat'
           specific scripting support to calculate event ratios, etc.
      
           Simple example:
      
              $ perf stat record -e cycles usleep 1
      
               Performance counter stats for 'usleep 1':
      
                     1,134,996      cycles
      
                   0.000670644 seconds time elapsed
      
              $ perf stat report
      
               Performance counter stats for '/home/acme/bin/perf stat record -e cycles usleep 1':
      
                     1,134,996      cycles
      
                   0.000670644 seconds time elapsed
      
              $
      
           It generates PERF_RECORD_ userspace records to store the details:
      
              $ perf report -D | grep PERF_RECORD
              0xf0 [0x28]: PERF_RECORD_THREAD_MAP nr: 1 thread: 27637
              0x118 [0x12]: PERF_RECORD_CPU_MAP nr: 1 cpu: 65535
              0x12a [0x40]: PERF_RECORD_STAT_CONFIG
              0x16a [0x30]: PERF_RECORD_STAT
              -1 -1 0x19a [0x40]: PERF_RECORD_MMAP -1/0: [0xffffffff81000000(0x1f000000) @ 0xffffffff81000000]: x [kernel.kallsyms]_text
              0x1da [0x18]: PERF_RECORD_STAT_ROUND
              [acme@ssdandy linux]$
      
           An effort was made to make perf.data files generated like this to
           not generate cryptic messages when processed by older tools.
      
           The 'perf script' bits need rebasing, will go up later.
      
         - Make command line options always available, even when they depend
           on some feature being enabled, warning the user about use of such
           options (Wang Nan)
      
         - Support hw breakpoint events (mem:0xAddress) in the default output
           mode in 'perf script' (Wang Nan)
      
         - Fixes and improvements for supporting annotating ARM binaries,
           support ARM call and jump instructions, more work needed to have
           arch specific stuff separated into tools/perf/arch/*/annotate/
           (Russell King)
      
         - Add initial 'perf config' command, for now just with a --list
           command to the contents of the configuration file in use and a
           basic man page describing its format, commands for doing edits and
           detailed documentation are being reviewed and proof-read.  (Taeung
           Song)
      
         - Allows BPF scriptlets specify arguments to be fetched using DWARF
           info, using a prologue generated at compile/build time (He Kuang,
           Wang Nan)
      
         - Allow attaching BPF scriptlets to module symbols (Wang Nan)
      
         - Allow attaching BPF scriptlets to userspace code using uprobe (Wang
           Nan)
      
         - BPF programs now can specify 'perf probe' tunables via its section
           name, separating key=val values using semicolons (Wang Nan)
      
           Testing some of these new BPF features:
      
              Use case: get callchains when receiving SSL packets, filter then in the
                        kernel, at arbitrary place.

              #
      
         - Use 'perf probe' various options to list functions, see what
           variables can be collected at any given point, experiment first
           collecting without a filter, then filter, use it together with
           'perf trace', 'perf top', with or without callchains, if it
           explodes, please tell us!
      
         - Introduce a new callchain mode: "folded", that will list per line
           representations of all callchains for a give histogram entry,
           facilitating 'perf report' output processing by other tools, such
           as Brendan Gregg's flamegraph tools (Namhyung Kim)

       "The changes in this cycle were:
      
         - Adding transitivity uniformly to rcu_node structure ->lock
           acquisitions.  (This is implemented by the first two commits on top
           of v4.4-rc2 due to the pervasive nature of this change.)
      
         - Documentation updates, including RCU requirements.

         - Late-breaking fix to sysrq-generated crash.
      
        One thing I should note is that these pieces of documentation are
        fairly large files:

        and are written in HTML, not the usual .txt style.  I hope they are
        fine"
      
      Paul McKenney explains the html docs:
       "For whatever it is worth, the reason for this unconventional choice
        was that attempts to do the diagrams in ASCII art failed miserably.
      
        And attempts to do ASCII art for the upcoming documentation of the

      Merge tag 'perf-core-for-mingo' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/acme/linux into perf/core
      
      Pull perf/core improvements and fixes from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:
      
      New features:
      
      - Allow using trace events fields as sort order keys, making 'perf evlist --trace_fields'
        show those, and then the user can select a subset and use like:
      
          perf top -e sched:sched_switch -s prev_comm,next_comm
      
        That works as well in 'perf report' when handling files containing
        tracepoints.
      
        The default when just tracepoint events are found in a perf.data file is to
        format it like ftrace, using the libtraceevent formatters, plugins, etc (Namhyung Kim)
      
      - Add support in 'perf script' to process 'perf stat record' generated files,
        culminating in a python perf script that calculates CPI (Cycles per
        Instruction) (Jiri Olsa)
      
      - Show random perf tool tips in the 'perf report' bottom line (Namhyung Kim)
      
      - perf report now defaults to --group if the perf.data file has grouped events, try it with:
      
        # perf record -e '{cycles,instructions}' -a sleep 1
        [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
        [ perf record: Captured and wrote 1.093 MB perf.data (1247 samples) ]
        # perf report
        # Samples: 1K of event 'anon group { cycles, instructions }'
        # Event count (approx.): 1955219195

      User visible fixes:
      
      - Coect data mmaps so that the DWARF unwinder can handle usecases needing them,
        like softice (Jiri Olsa)
      
      - Decay callchains in fractal mode, fixing up cases where 'perf top -g' would
        show entries with more than 100% (Namhyung Kim)
      
      Infrastructure changes:
      
      - Sync tools/lib with the lib/ in the kernel sources for find_bit.c and
        move bitmap.[ch] from tools/perf/util/ to tools/lib/ (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
      
      - No need to set attr.sample_freq in some 'perf test' entries that only
        want to deal with PERF_RECORD_ meta-events, improve a bit error output
        for CQM test (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
      
      - Fix python binding build, adding some missing object files now required
        due to cpumap using find_bit stuff (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
      
      - tools/build improvemnts (Jiri Olsa)
      
      - Add more files to cscope/ctags databases (Jiri Olsa)
      
      - Do not show 'trace' in 'perf help' if it is not compiled in (Jiri Olsa)
      
      - Make perf_evlist__open() open evsels with their cpus and threads,
        like perf record does, making them consistent (Adrian Hunter)

      The reason is that start_shepherd_timer schedules the shepherd work item
      which uses vmstat_wq (vmstat_shepherd) before setup_vmstat allocates
      that workqueue so if the further initialization takes more than HZ we
      might end up scheduling on a NULL vmstat_wq.  This is really unlikely
      but not impossible.

      compat_ioctl: don't call do_ioctl under set_fs(KERNEL_DS) · a7f61e89
      Jann Horn authored
      This replaces all code in fs/compat_ioctl.c that translated
      ioctl arguments into a in-kernel structure, then performed
      do_ioctl under set_fs(KERNEL_DS), with code that allocates
      data on the user stack and can call the VFS ioctl handler
      under USER_DS.
      
      This is done as a hardening measure because the caller
      does not know what kind of ioctl handler will be invoked,
      only that no corresponding compat_ioctl handler exists and
      what the ioctl command number is. The accidental
      invocation of an unlocked_ioctl handler that unexpectedly
      calls copy_to_user could be a severe security issue.

      compat_ioctl: don't look up the fd twice · b4341721
      Jann Horn authored
      In code in fs/compat_ioctl.c that translates ioctl arguments
      into a in-kernel structure, then performs sys_ioctl, possibly
      under set_fs(KERNEL_DS), this commit changes the sys_ioctl
      calls to do_ioctl calls. do_ioctl is a new function that does
      the same thing as sys_ioctl, but doesn't look up the fd again.
      
      This change is made to avoid (potential) security issues
      because of ioctl handlers that accept one of the ioctl
      commands I2C_FUNCS, VIDEO_GET_EVENT, MTIOCPOS, MTIOCGET,
      TIOCGSERIAL, TIOCSSERIAL, RTC_IRQP_READ, RTC_EPOCH_READ.
      This can happen for multiple reasons:
      
       - The ioctl command number could be reused.
       - The ioctl handler might not check the full ioctl
         command. This is e.g. true for drm_ioctl.
       - The ioctl handler is very special, e.g. cuse_file_ioctl
      
      The real issue is that set_fs(KERNEL_DS) is used here,
      but that's fixed in a separate commit
      "compat_ioctl: don't call do_ioctl under set_fs(KERNEL_DS)".
      
      This change mitigates potential security issues by
      preventing a race that permits invocation of
      unlocked_ioctl handlers under KERNEL_DS through compat
      code even if a corresponding compat_ioctl handler exists.
      
      So far, no way has been identified to use this to damage
      kernel memory without having CAP_SYS_ADMIN in the init ns
      (with the capability, doing reads/writes at arbitrary
      kernel addresses should be easy through CUSE's ioctl
      handler with FUSE_IOCTL_UNRESTRICTED set).
