The IMA kexec buffer allows the currently running kernel to pass the measurement list via a kexec segment to the kernel that will be kexec'd. This is the architecture-specific part of setting up the IMA kexec buffer for the next kernel. It will be used in the next patch.

Measurements carried across kexec need to be added to the IMA measurement list, but should not prevent measurements of the newly booted kernel from being added to the measurement list. This patch adds support for allowing duplicate measurements. The "boot_aggregate" measurement entry is the delimiter between soft boots.

Patch series "ima: carry the measurement list across kexec", v8. The TPM PCRs are only reset on a hard reboot. In order to validate a TPM's quote after a soft reboot (eg. kexec -e), the IMA measurement list of the running kernel must be saved and then restored on the subsequent boot, possibly of a different architecture. The existing securityfs binary_runtime_measurements file conveniently provides a serialized format of the IMA measurement list. This patch set serializes the measurement list in this format and restores it. Up to now, the binary_runtime_measurements was defined as architecture native format. The assumption being that userspace could and would handle any architecture conversions. With the ability of carrying the measurement list across kexec, possibly from one architecture to a different one, the per boot architecture information is lost and with it the ability of recalculating the template digest hash. To resolve this problem, without breaking the existing ABI, this patch set introduces the boot command line option "ima_canonical_fmt", which is arbitrarily defined as little endian. The need for this boot command line option will be limited to the existing version 1 format of the binary_runtime_measurements. Subsequent formats will be defined as canonical format (eg. TPM 2.0 support for larger digests). A simplified method of Thiago Bauermann's "kexec buffer handover" patch series for carrying the IMA measurement list across kexec is included in this patch set. The simplified method requires all file measurements be taken prior to executing the kexec load, as subsequent measurements will not be carried across the kexec and restored. This patch (of 10): The IMA kexec buffer allows the currently running kernel to pass the measurement list via a kexec segment to the kernel that will be kexec'd. The second kernel can check whether the previous kernel sent the buffer and retrieve it. This is the architecture-specific part which enables IMA to receive the measurement list passed by the previous kernel. It will be used in the next patch. The change in machine_kexec_64.c is to factor out the logic of removing an FDT memory reservation so that it can be used by remove_ima_buffer.

dquot_disable() was warning when sb_has_quota_loaded() was true when invalidating page cache for quota files. The thinking behind this warning was that we must have raced with somebody else turning quotas on and this should not happen because all places modifying quota state must hold s_umount exclusively now. However sb_has_quota_loaded() can be also true at this point when we are just suspending quotas on remount read-only. Just restore the behavior to situation before commit c3b00446 ("quota: Remove dqonoff_mutex") which introduced the warning. The code in dquot_disable() can be further simplified with the new locking of quota state changes however let's leave that to a separate commit that can get more testing exposure.

According to Microchip errata some combinations of date and month values may result in the date being reset to 1, even if the date is also written with the month (for example 31-07 or 31-08). As a workaround avoid writing date and month values within the same Write command. Instead, terminate the Write command after loading the date and begin a new command to write the month. In addition, disable the oscillator before loading the new values. This is done by ensuring both the ST and EXTOSC bits are cleared and waiting for the OSCON bit to clear.

Pull libnvdimm updates from Dan Williams: "The libnvdimm pull request is relatively small this time around due to some development topics being deferred to 4.11. As for this pull request the bulk of it has been in -next for several releases leading to one late fix being added (commit 868f036f ("libnvdimm: fix mishandled nvdimm_clear_poison() return value")). It has received a build success notification from the 0day-kbuild robot and passes the latest libnvdimm unit tests. Summary: - Dynamic label support: To date namespace label support has been limited to disambiguating cases where PMEM (direct load/store) and BLK (mmio aperture) accessed-capacity alias on the same DIMM. Since 4.9 added support for multiple namespaces per PMEM-region there is value to support namespace labels even in the non-aliasing case. The presence of a valid namespace index block force-enables label support when the kernel would otherwise rely on region boundaries, and permits the region to be sub-divided. - Handle media errors in namespace metadata: Complement the error handling for media errors in namespace data areas with support for clearing errors on writes, and downgrading potential machine-check exceptions to simple i/o errors on read. - Device-DAX region attributes: Add 'align', 'id', and 'size' as attributes for device-dax regions. In particular this enables userspace tooling to generically size memory mapping and i/o operations. Prevent userspace from growing assumptions / dependencies about the parent device topology for a dax region. A libnvdimm namespace may not always be the parent device of a dax region. - Various cleanups and small fixes" * tag 'libnvdimm-for-4.10' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm: dax: add region 'id', 'size', and 'align' attributes libnvdimm: fix mishandled nvdimm_clear_poison() return value libnvdimm: replace mutex_is_locked() warnings with lockdep_assert_held libnvdimm, pfn: fix align attribute libnvdimm, e820: use module_platform_driver libnvdimm, namespace: use octal for permissions libnvdimm, namespace: avoid multiple sector calculations libnvdimm: remove else after return in nsio_rw_bytes() libnvdimm, namespace: fix the type of name variable libnvdimm: use consistent naming for request_mem_region() nvdimm: use the right length of "pmem" libnvdimm: check and clear poison before writing to pmem tools/testing/nvdimm: dynamic label support libnvdimm: allow a platform to force enable label support libnvdimm: use generic iostat interfaces

Pull timer updates from Thomas Gleixner: "This is the last functional update from the tip tree for 4.10. It got delayed due to a newly reported and anlyzed variant of BIOS bug and the resulting wreckage: - Seperation of TSC being marked realiable and the fact that the platform provides the TSC frequency via CPUID/MSRs and making use for it for GOLDMONT. - TSC adjust MSR validation and sanitizing: The TSC adjust MSR contains the offset to the hardware counter. The sum of the adjust MSR and the counter is the TSC value which is read via RDTSC. On at least two machines from different vendors the BIOS sets the TSC adjust MSR to negative values. This happens on cold and warm boot. While on cold boot the offset is a few milliseconds, on warm boot it basically compensates the power on time of the system. The BIOSes are not even using the adjust MSR to set all CPUs in the package to the same offset. The offsets are different which renders the TSC unusable, What's worse is that the TSC deadline timer has a HW feature^Wbug. It malfunctions when the TSC adjust value is negative or greater equal 0x80000000 resulting in silent boot failures, hard lockups or non firing timers. This looks like some hardware internal 32/64bit issue with a sign extension problem. Intel has been silent so far on the issue. The update contains sanity checks and keeps the adjust register within working limits and in sync on the package. As it looks like this disease is spreading via BIOS crapware, we need to address this urgently as the boot failures are hard to debug for users" * 'x86-timers-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: x86/tsc: Limit the adjust value further x86/tsc: Annotate printouts as firmware bug x86/tsc: Force TSC_ADJUST register to value >= zero x86/tsc: Validate TSC_ADJUST after resume x86/tsc: Validate cpumask pointer before accessing it x86/tsc: Fix broken CONFIG_X86_TSC=n build x86/tsc: Try to adjust TSC if sync test fails x86/tsc: Prepare warp test for TSC adjustment x86/tsc: Move sync cleanup to a safe place x86/tsc: Sync test only for the first cpu in a package x86/tsc: Verify TSC_ADJUST from idle x86/tsc: Store and check TSC ADJUST MSR x86/tsc: Detect random warps x86/tsc: Use X86_FEATURE_TSC_ADJUST in detect_art() x86/tsc: Finalize the split of the TSC_RELIABLE flag x86/tsc: Set TSC_KNOWN_FREQ and TSC_RELIABLE flags on Intel Atom SoCs x86/tsc: Mark Intel ATOM_GOLDMONT TSC reliable x86/tsc: Mark TSC frequency determined by CPUID as known x86/tsc: Add X86_FEATURE_TSC_KNOWN_FREQ flag

Adjust value 0x80000000 and other values larger than that render the TSC deadline timer disfunctional. We have not yet any information about this from Intel, but experimentation clearly proves that this is a 32/64 bit and sign extension issue. If adjust values larger than that are actually required, which might be the case for physical CPU hotplug, then we need to disable the deadline timer on the affected package/CPUs and use the local APIC timer instead. That requires some surgery in the APIC setup code, so we just limit the ADJUST register value into the known to work range for now and revisit this when Intel comes forth with proper information.

The build of sparc allmodconfig fails with the error: "of_irq_to_resource" [drivers/net/ethernet/marvell/mv643xx_eth.ko] undefined! of_irq_to_resource() is defined when CONFIG_OF_IRQ is defined. And also CONFIG_OF_IRQ can only be defined if CONFIG_IRQ is defined. So we can safely use #if defined(CONFIG_OF_IRQ) in the code.
