      Pull KVM updates from Paolo Bonzini:
       "One of the largest releases for KVM...  Hardly any generic
        changes, but lots of architecture-specific updates.
      
        ARM:
         - VHE support so that we can run the kernel at EL2 on ARMv8.1 systems
         - PMU support for guests
         - 32bit world switch rewritten in C
         - various optimizations to the vgic save/restore code.
      
        PPC:
         - enabled KVM-VFIO integration ("VFIO device")
         - optimizations to speed up IPIs between vcpus
         - in-kernel handling of IOMMU hypercalls
         - support for dynamic DMA windows (DDW).
      
        s390:
         - provide the floating point registers via sync regs;
         - separated instruction vs.  data accesses
         - dirty log improvements for huge guests
         - bugfixes and documentation improvements.
      
        x86:
         - Hyper-V VMBus hypercall userspace exit
         - alternative implementation of lowest-priority interrupts using
           vector hashing (for better VT-d posted interrupt support)
         - fixed guest debugging with nested virtualizations
         - improved interrupt tracking in the in-kernel IOAPIC
         - generic infrastructure for tracking writes to guest
           memory - currently its only use is to speedup the legacy shadow
           paging (pre-EPT) case, but in the future it will be used for
           virtual GPUs as well
         - much cleanup (LAPIC, kvmclock, MMU, PIT), including ubsan fixes"

      Pull cpu hotplug updates from Thomas Gleixner:
       "This is the first part of the ongoing cpu hotplug rework:
      
         - Initial implementation of the state machine
      
         - Runs all online and prepare down callbacks on the plugged cpu and
           not on some random processor
      
         - Replaces busy loop waiting with completions
      
         - Adds tracepoints so the states can be followed"
      
      More detailed commentary on this work from an earlier email:
       "What's wrong with the current cpu hotplug infrastructure?
      
         - Asymmetry
      
           The hotplug notifier mechanism is asymmetric versus the bringup and
           teardown.  This is mostly caused by the notifier mechanism.
      
         - Largely undocumented dependencies
      
           While some notifiers use explicitely defined notifier priorities,
           we have quite some notifiers which use numerical priorities to
           express dependencies without any documentation why.
      
         - Control processor driven
      
           Most of the bringup/teardown of a cpu is driven by a control
           processor.  While it is understandable, that preperatory steps,
           like idle thread creation, memory allocation for and initialization
           of essential facilities needs to be done before a cpu can boot,
           there is no reason why everything else must run on a control
           processor.  Before this patch series, bringup looks like this:
      
             Control CPU                     Booting CPU
      
             do preparatory steps
             kick cpu into life
      
                                             do low level init
      
             sync with booting cpu           sync with control cpu
      
             bring the rest up
      
         - All or nothing approach
      
           There is no way to do partial bringups.  That's something which is
           really desired because we waste e.g.  at boot substantial amount of
           time just busy waiting that the cpu comes to life.  That's stupid
           as we could very well do preparatory steps and the initial IPI for
           other cpus and then go back and do the necessary low level
           synchronization with the freshly booted cpu.
      
         - Minimal debuggability
      
           Due to the notifier based design, it's impossible to switch between
           two stages of the bringup/teardown back and forth in order to test
           the correctness.  So in many hotplug notifiers the cancel
           mechanisms are either not existant or completely untested.
      
         - Notifier [un]registering is tedious
      
           To [un]register notifiers we need to protect against hotplug at
           every callsite.  There is no mechanism that bringup/teardown
           callbacks are issued on the online cpus, so every caller needs to
           do it itself.  That also includes error rollback.
      
        What's the new design?
      
           The base of the new design is a symmetric state machine, where both
           the control processor and the booting/dying cpu execute a well
           defined set of states.  Each state is symmetric in the end, except
           for some well defined exceptions, and the bringup/teardown can be
           stopped and reversed at almost all states.
      
           So the bringup of a cpu will look like this in the future:
      
             Control CPU                     Booting CPU
      
             do preparatory steps
             kick cpu into life
      
                                             do low level init
      
             sync with booting cpu           sync with control cpu
      
                                             bring itself up
      
           The synchronization step does not require the control cpu to wait.
           That mechanism can be done asynchronously via a worker or some
           other mechanism.
      
           The teardown can be made very similar, so that the dying cpu cleans
           up and brings itself down.  Cleanups which need to be done after
           the cpu is gone, can be scheduled asynchronously as well.
      
        There is a long way to this, as we need to refactor the notion when a
        cpu is available.  Today we set the cpu online right after it comes
        out of the low level bringup, which is not really correct.
      
        The proper mechanism is to set it to available, i.e. cpu local
        threads, like softirqd, hotplug thread etc. can be scheduled on that
        cpu, and once it finished all booting steps, it's set to online, so
        general workloads can be scheduled on it.  The reverse happens on
        teardown.  First thing to do is to forbid scheduling of general
        workloads, then teardown all the per cpu resources and finally shut it
        off completely.
      
        This patch series implements the basic infrastructure for this at the
        core level.  This includes the following:
      
         - Basic state machine implementation with well defined states, so
           ordering and prioritization can be expressed.
      
         - Interfaces to [un]register state callbacks
      
           This invokes the bringup/teardown callback on all online cpus with
           the proper protection in place and [un]installs the callbacks in
           the state machine array.
      
           For callbacks which have no particular ordering requirement we have
           a dynamic state space, so that drivers don't have to register an
           explicit hotplug state.
      
           If a callback fails, the code automatically does a rollback to the
           previous state.
      
         - Sysfs interface to drive the state machine to a particular step.
      
           This is only partially functional today.  Full functionality and
           therefor testability will be achieved once we converted all
           existing hotplug notifiers over to the new scheme.
      
         - Run all CPU_ONLINE/DOWN_PREPARE notifiers on the booting/dying
           processor:
      
             Control CPU                     Booting CPU
      
             do preparatory steps
             kick cpu into life
      
                                             do low level init
      
             sync with booting cpu           sync with control cpu
             wait for boot
                                             bring itself up
      
                                             Signal completion to control cpu
      
           In a previous step of this work we've done a full tree mechanical
           conversion of all hotplug notifiers to the new scheme.  The balance
           is a net removal of about 4000 lines of code.
      
           This is not included in this series, as we decided to take a
           different approach.  Instead of mechanically converting everything
           over, we will do a proper overhaul of the usage sites one by one so
           they nicely fit into the symmetric callback scheme.
      
           I decided to do that after I looked at the ugliness of some of the
           converted sites and figured out that their hotplug mechanism is
           completely buggered anyway.  So there is no point to do a
           mechanical conversion first as we need to go through the usage
           sites one by one again in order to achieve a full symmetric and
           testable behaviour"

           - Hierarchy histogram mode for 'perf top' and 'perf report',
             showing multiple levels, one per --sort entry: (Namhyung Kim)
      
             On a mostly idle system:
      
               # perf top --hierarchy -s comm,dso
      
             Then expand some levels and use 'P' to take a snapshot:
      
               # cat perf.hist.0
               -  92.32%         perf
                     58.20%         perf
                     22.29%         libc-2.22.so
                      5.97%         [kernel]
                      4.18%         libelf-0.165.so
                      1.69%         [unknown]
               -   4.71%         qemu-system-x86
                      3.10%         [kernel]
                      1.60%         qemu-system-x86_64 (deleted)
               +   2.97%         swapper
               #
      
           - Add 'L' hotkey to dynamicly set the percent threshold for
             histogram entries and callchains, i.e.  dynamicly do what the
             --percent-limit command line option to 'top' and 'report' does.
             (Namhyung Kim)
      
        perf mem:
      
           - Allow specifying events via -e in 'perf mem record', also listing
             what events can be specified via 'perf mem record -e list' (Jiri
             Olsa)
      
        perf record:
      
           - Add 'perf record' --all-user/--all-kernel options, so that one
             can tell that all the events in the command line should be
             restricted to the user or kernel levels (Jiri Olsa), i.e.:
      
               perf record -e cycles:u,instructions:u
      
             is equivalent to:
      
               perf record --all-user -e cycles,instructions
      
           - Make 'perf record' collect CPU cache info in the perf.data file header:
      
               $ perf record usleep 1
               [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
               [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.017 MB perf.data (7 samples) ]
               $ perf report --header-only -I | tail -10 | head -8
               # CPU cache info:
               #  L1 Data                 32K [0-1]
               #  L1 Instruction          32K [0-1]
               #  L1 Data                 32K [2-3]
               #  L1 Instruction          32K [2-3]
               #  L2 Unified             256K [0-1]
               #  L2 Unified             256K [2-3]
               #  L3 Unified            4096K [0-3]
      
             Will be used in 'perf c2c' and eventually in 'perf diff' to
             allow, for instance running the same workload in multiple
             machines and then when using 'diff' show the hardware difference.
             (Jiri Olsa)
      
           - Improved support for Java, using the JVMTI agent library to do
             jitdumps that then will be inserted in synthesized
             PERF_RECORD_MMAP2 events via 'perf inject' pointed to synthesized
             ELF files stored in ~/.debug and keyed with build-ids, to allow
             symbol resolution and even annotation with source line info, see
             the changeset comments to see how to use it (Stephane Eranian)
      
        perf script/trace:
      
           - Decode data_src values (e.g.  perf.data files generated by 'perf
             mem record') in 'perf script': (Jiri Olsa)
      
               # perf script
                 perf 693 [1] 4.088652: 1 cpu/mem-loads,ldlat=30/P: ffff88007d0b0f40 68100142 L1 hit|SNP None|TLB L1 or L2 hit|LCK No <SNIP>
                                                                                    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
           - Improve support to 'data_src', 'weight' and 'addr' fields in
             'perf script' (Jiri Olsa)
      
           - Handle empty print fmts in 'perf script -s' i.e. when running
             python or perl scripts (Taeung Song)
      
        perf stat:
      
           - 'perf stat' now shows shadow metrics (insn per cycle, etc) in
             interval mode too.  E.g:
      
               # perf stat -I 1000 -e instructions,cycles sleep 1
               #         time   counts unit events
                  1.000215928  519,620      instructions     #  0.69 insn per cycle
                  1.000215928  752,003      cycles
               <SNIP>
      
           - Port 'perf kvm stat' to PowerPC (Hemant Kumar)
      
           - Implement CSV metrics output in 'perf stat' (Andi Kleen)
      
        perf BPF support:
      
           - Support converting data from bpf events in 'perf data' (Wang Nan)
      
           - Print bpf-output events in 'perf script': (Wang Nan).
      
               # perf record -e bpf-output/no-inherit,name=evt/ -e ./test_bpf_output_3.c/map:channel.event=evt/ usleep 1000
               # perf script
                  usleep  4882 21384.532523:   evt:  ffffffff810e97d1 sys_nanosleep ([kernel.kallsyms])
                   BPF output: 0000: 52 61 69 73 65 20 61 20  Raise a
                               0008: 42 50 46 20 65 76 65 6e  BPF even

                   BPF string: "Raise a BPF event!"
               #
      
           - Add API to set values of map entries in a BPF object, be it
             individual map slots or ranges (Wang Nan)
      
           - Introduce support for the 'bpf-output' event (Wang Nan)
      
           - Add glue to read perf events in a BPF program (Wang Nan)
      
           - Improve support for bpf-output events in 'perf trace' (Wang Nan)

      Pull read-only kernel memory updates from Ingo Molnar:
       "This tree adds two (security related) enhancements to the kernel's
        handling of read-only kernel memory:
      
         - extend read-only kernel memory to a new class of formerly writable
           kernel data: 'post-init read-only memory' via the __ro_after_init
           attribute, and mark the ARM and x86 vDSO as such read-only memory.
      
           This kind of attribute can be used for data that requires a once
           per bootup initialization sequence, but is otherwise never modified
           after that point.
      
           This feature was based on the work by PaX Team and Brad Spengler.
      
           (by Kees Cook, the ARM vDSO bits by David Brown.)
      
         - make CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA always enabled on x86 and remove the
           Kconfig option.  This simplifies the kernel and also signals that
           read-only memory is the default model and a first-class citizen.

      There are only a few differences between PCF2127 and PCF2129 (PCF2127
      has 512 bytes of general purpose SRAM and count-down timer).
      
      The rtc-pcf2127 driver currently doesn't use the PCF2127 specific
      functionality and Kconfig help text already says this driver supports
      PCF2127/29, so we can simply add pcf2129 to device id list.

      rtc: ds1685: actually spin forever in poweroff error path · 361c6ed6
      Josh Poimboeuf authored
      objtool reports the following warnings:
      
        drivers/rtc/rtc-ds1685.o: warning: objtool: ds1685_rtc_work_queue()+0x0: duplicate frame pointer save
        drivers/rtc/rtc-ds1685.o: warning: objtool: ds1685_rtc_work_queue()+0x3: duplicate frame pointer setup
        drivers/rtc/rtc-ds1685.o: warning: objtool: ds1685_rtc_work_queue()+0x0: frame pointer state mismatch
      
      The warning message needs to be improved, but what it really means in
      this case is that ds1685_rtc_poweroff() has a possible code path where
      it can actually fall through to the next function in the object code,
      ds1685_rtc_work_queue().
      
      The bug is caused by the use of the unreachable() macro in a place which
      is actually reachable.  That causes gcc to assume that the printk()
      immediately before the unreachable() macro never returns, when in fact
      it does.  So gcc places the printk() at the very end of the function's
      object code.  When the printk() returns, the next function starts
      executing.
      
      The surrounding comment and printk message state that the code should
      spin forever, which explains the unreachable() statement.  However the
      actual spin code is missing.
