The current code performs the cancel of a delayed work at the late
stage of disconnection procedure, which may lead to the access to the
already cleared state.
This patch assures to call cancel_delayed_work_sync() at the beginning
of the disconnection procedure for avoiding that race. The delayed
work object is now assigned in the common line6 object instead of its
derivative, so that we can call cancel_delayed_work_sync().
Along with the change, the startup function is called via the new
callback instead. This will make it easier to port other LINE6
drivers to use the delayed work for startup in later patches.

Also, some renames have been made to use product name instead of common

I measured power consumption between power_save_node=1 and power_save_node=0.
It's almost the same.
Codec will enter to runtime suspend and suspend.
That pin also will enter to D3. Don't need to enter to D3 by single pin.
So, Disable power_save_node as default. It will avoid more issues.
Windows Driver also has not this option at runtime PM.

Pull perf tooling updates from Ingo Molnar:
"perf.data:
- Streaming compression of perf ring buffer into
PERF_RECORD_COMPRESSED user space records, resulting in ~3-5x
perf.data file size reduction on variety of tested workloads what
saves storage space on larger server systems where perf.data size
can easily reach several tens or even hundreds of GiBs, especially
when profiling with DWARF-based stacks and tracing of context
switches.
perf record:
- Improve -user-regs/intr-regs suggestions to overcome errors
perf annotate:
- Remove hist__account_cycles() from callback, speeding up branch
processing (perf record -b)
perf stat:
- Add a 'percore' event qualifier, e.g.: -e
cpu/event=0,umask=0x3,percore=1/, that sums up the event counts for
both hardware threads in a core.
We can already do this with --per-core, but it's often useful to do
this together with other metrics that are collected per hardware
thread.
I.e. now its possible to do this per-event, and have it mixed with
other events not aggregated by core.
arm64:
- Map Brahma-B53 CPUID to cortex-a53 events.
- Add Cortex-A57 and Cortex-A72 events.
csky:
- Add DWARF register mappings for libdw, allowing --call-graph=dwarf
to work on the C-SKY arch.
x86:
- Add support for recording and printing XMM registers, available,
for instance, on Icelake.
- Add uncore_upi (Intel's "Ultra Path Interconnect" events) JSON
support. UPI replaced the Intel QuickPath Interconnect (QPI) in
Xeon Skylake-SP.

This patch set contains an assortment of RISC-V related patches that I'd
like to target for the 5.2 merge window. Most of the patches are
cleanups, but there are a handful of user-visible changes:
* The nosmp and nr_cpus command-line arguments are now supported, which
work like normal.
* The SBI console no longer installs itself as a preferred console, we
rely on standard mechanisms (/chosen, command-line, hueristics)
instead.
* sfence_remove_sfence_vma{,_asid} now pass their arguments along to the
SBI call.
* Modules now support BUG().
* A missing sfence.vma during boot has been added. This bug only
manifests during boot.
* The arch/riscv support for SiFive's L2 cache controller has been
merged, which should un-block the EDAC framework work.
I've only tested this on QEMU again, as I didn't have time to get things
running on the Unleashed. The latest master from this morning merges in
cleanly and passes the tests as well.
This patch set rebased my "5.2 MW, Part 1" patch set which includes an

Since commit 54c7a8916a ("initramfs: free initrd memory if opening
/initrd.image fails"), the kernel has unconditionally attempted to free
the initrd even if it doesn't exist.
In the non-existent case this causes a boot-time splat if
CONFIG_DEBUG_VIRTUAL is enabled due to a call to virt_to_phys() with a
NULL address.
Instead we should check that the initrd actually exists and only attempt
to free it if it does.

There is no reproducer and it is difficult to hit -- 1 crash every few
days. The issue is very similar to the fix in commit 6b0868c820
("mm/compaction.c: correct zone boundary handling when resetting pageblock
skip hints"). When isolating free pages around a target pageblock, the
boundary handling is off by one and can stray into the next pageblock.
Triggering the syzbot error requires that the end of pageblock is section
or zone aligned, and that the next section is unpopulated.
A more subtle consequence of the bug is that pageblocks were being
improperly used as migration targets which potentially hurts fragmentation
avoidance in the long-term one page at a time.
A debugging patch revealed that it's definitely possible to stray outside
of a pageblock which is not intended. While syzbot cannot be used to
verify this patch, it was confirmed that the debugging warning no longer
triggers with this patch applied. It has also been confirmed that the THP
allocation stress tests are not degraded by this patch.

Patch series "improve vmap allocation", v3.
Objective
---------
Please have a look for the description at:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/10/19/786
but let me also summarize it a bit here as well.
The current implementation has O(N) complexity. Requests with different
permissive parameters can lead to long allocation time. When i say
"long" i mean milliseconds.
Description
-----------
This approach organizes the KVA memory layout into free areas of the
1-ULONG_MAX range, i.e. an allocation is done over free areas lookups,
instead of finding a hole between two busy blocks. It allows to have
lower number of objects which represent the free space, therefore to have
less fragmented memory allocator. Because free blocks are always as large
as possible.
It uses the augment tree where all free areas are sorted in ascending
order of va->va_start address in pair with linked list that provides
O(1) access to prev/next elements.
Since the tree is augment, we also maintain the "subtree_max_size" of VA
that reflects a maximum available free block in its left or right
sub-tree. Knowing that, we can easily traversal toward the lowest (left
most path) free area.
Allocation: ~O(log(N)) complexity. It is sequential allocation method
therefore tends to maximize locality. The search is done until a first
suitable block is large enough to encompass the requested parameters.
Bigger areas are split.
I copy paste here the description of how the area is split, since i
described it in https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/10/19/786
<snip>
A free block can be split by three different ways. Their names are
FL_FIT_TYPE, LE_FIT_TYPE/RE_FIT_TYPE and NE_FIT_TYPE, i.e. they
correspond to how requested size and alignment fit to a free block.
FL_FIT_TYPE - in this case a free block is just removed from the free
list/tree because it fully fits. Comparing with current design there is
an extra work with rb-tree updating.
LE_FIT_TYPE/RE_FIT_TYPE - left/right edges fit. In this case what we do
is just cutting a free block. It is as fast as a current design. Most of
the vmalloc allocations just end up with this case, because the edge is
always aligned to 1.
NE_FIT_TYPE - Is much less common case. Basically it happens when
requested size and alignment does not fit left nor right edges, i.e. it
is between them. In this case during splitting we have to build a
remaining left free area and place it back to the free list/tree.
Comparing with current design there are two extra steps. First one is we
have to allocate a new vmap_area structure. Second one we have to insert
that remaining free block to the address sorted list/tree.
In order to optimize a first case there is a cache with free_vmap objects.
Instead of allocating from slab we just take an object from the cache and
reuse it.
Second one is pretty optimized. Since we know a start point in the tree
we do not do a search from the top. Instead a traversal begins from a
rb-tree node we split.
<snip>
De-allocation. ~O(log(N)) complexity. An area is not inserted straight
away to the tree/list, instead we identify the spot first, checking if it
can be merged around neighbors. The list provides O(1) access to
prev/next, so it is pretty fast to check it. Summarizing. If merged then
large coalesced areas are created, if not the area is just linked making
more fragments.
There is one more thing that i should mention here. After modification of
VA node, its subtree_max_size is updated if it was/is the biggest area in
its left or right sub-tree. Apart of that it can also be populated back
to upper levels to fix the tree. For more details please have a look at
the __augment_tree_propagate_from() function and the description.
Tests and stressing
-------------------
I use the "test_vmalloc.sh" test driver available under
"tools/testing/selftests/vm/" since 5.1-rc1 kernel. Just trigger "sudo
./test_vmalloc.sh" to find out how to deal with it.
Tested on different platforms including x86_64/i686/ARM64/x86_64_NUMA.
Regarding last one, i do not have any physical access to NUMA system,
therefore i emulated it. The time of stressing is days.
If you run the test driver in "stress mode", you also need the patch that
is in Andrew's tree but not in Linux 5.1-rc1. So, please apply it:
http://git.cmpxchg.org/cgit.cgi/linux-mmotm.git/commit/?id=e0cf7749bade6da318e98e934a24d8b62fab512c
After massive testing, i have not identified any problems like memory
leaks, crashes or kernel panics. I find it stable, but more testing would
be good.
Performance analysis
--------------------
I have used two systems to test. One is i5-3320M CPU @ 2.60GHz and
another is HiKey960(arm64) board. i5-3320M runs on 4.20 kernel, whereas
Hikey960 uses 4.15 kernel. I have both system which could run on 5.1-rc1
as well, but the results have not been ready by time i an writing this.
Currently it consist of 8 tests. There are three of them which correspond
to different types of splitting(to compare with default). We have 3
ones(see above). Another 5 do allocations in different conditions.
a) sudo ./test_vmalloc.sh performance
When the test driver is run in "performance" mode, it runs all available
tests pinned to first online CPU with sequential execution test order. We
do it in order to get stable and repeatable results. Take a look at time
difference in "long_busy_list_alloc_test". It is not surprising because
the worst case is O(N).

This patch (of 3):
Currently an allocation of the new vmap area is done over busy list
iteration(complexity O(n)) until a suitable hole is found between two busy
areas. Therefore each new allocation causes the list being grown. Due to
over fragmented list and different permissive parameters an allocation can
take a long time. For example on embedded devices it is milliseconds.
This patch organizes the KVA memory layout into free areas of the
1-ULONG_MAX range. It uses an augment red-black tree that keeps blocks
sorted by their offsets in pair with linked list keeping the free space in
order of increasing addresses.
Nodes are augmented with the size of the maximum available free block in
its left or right sub-tree. Thus, that allows to take a decision and
traversal toward the block that will fit and will have the lowest start
address, i.e. it is sequential allocation.
Allocation: to allocate a new block a search is done over the tree until a
suitable lowest(left most) block is large enough to encompass: the
requested size, alignment and vstart point. If the block is bigger than
requested size - it is split.
De-allocation: when a busy vmap area is freed it can either be merged or
inserted to the tree. Red-black tree allows efficiently find a spot
whereas a linked list provides a constant-time access to previous and next
blocks to check if merging can be done. In case of merging of
de-allocated memory chunk a large coalesced area is created.
Complexity: ~O(log(N))

In the recent build test of linux-next, Stephen saw a build error
caused by a broken .tmp_versions/*.mod file:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/5/13/991
drivers/net/phy/asix.ko and drivers/net/usb/asix.ko have the same
basename, and there is a race in generating .tmp_versions/asix.mod
Kbuild has not checked this before, and it suddenly shows up with
obscure error messages when this kind of race occurs.
Non-unique module names cause various sort of problems, but it is
not trivial to catch them by eyes.
Hence, this script.
It checks not only real modules, but also built-in modules (i.e.
controlled by tristate CONFIG option, but currently compiled with =y).
Non-unique names for built-in modules also cause problems because
/sys/modules/ would fall over.
For the latest kernel, I tested "make allmodconfig all" (or more
quickly "make allyesconfig modules"), and it detected the following:

The 'addtree' and 'flags' in scripts/Kbuild.include are so compilecated

As I mentioned in [1], Kbuild should stop automatic prefixing of header
search path options.
I fixed up (almost) all Makefiles in the kernel. Now 'addtree' and
'flags' have been removed.
Kbuild still caters to add $(srctree)/$(src) and $(objtree)/$(obj)
to the header search path for O= building, but never touches extra
compiler options from ccflags-y etc.

consistent, and finally get rid of the gross hacks.
Having whitespaces after -I does not matter since commit 48f6e3cf5b

syncconfig is responsible for keeping auto.conf up-to-date, so if it
fails for any reason, the build must be terminated immediately.
However, since commit 9390dff66a ("kbuild: invoke syncconfig if
include/config/auto.conf.cmd is missing"), Kbuild continues running
even after syncconfig fails.
You can confirm this by intentionally making syncconfig error out:
diff --git a/scripts/kconfig/confdata.c b/scripts/kconfig/confdata.c
index 08ba146..307b9de 100644

Then, syncconfig fails, but Make would not stop:

The reason is in the behavior of a pattern rule with multi-targets.
%/auto.conf %/auto.conf.cmd %/tristate.conf: $(KCONFIG_CONFIG)
$(Q)$(MAKE) -f $(srctree)/Makefile syncconfig
GNU Make knows this rule is responsible for making all the three files
simultaneously. As far as examined, auto.conf.cmd is the target in
question when this rule is invoked. It is probably because auto.conf.cmd
is included below the inclusion of auto.conf.
The inclusion of auto.conf is mandatory, while that of auto.conf.cmd
is optional. GNU Make does not care about the failure in the process
of updating optional include files.
I filed this issue (https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?56301) in case this
behavior could be improved somehow in future releases of GNU Make.
Anyway, it is quite easy to fix our Makefile.
Given that auto.conf is already a mandatory include file, there is no
reason to stick auto.conf.cmd optional. Make it mandatory as well.

arch/sh/boot/.gitignore has the pattern "vmlinux*"; this is effective
not only for the current directory, but also for any sub-directories.
So, from the point of .gitignore grammar, the following check-in files
are also considered to be ignored:
arch/sh/boot/compressed/vmlinux.scr
arch/sh/boot/romimage/vmlinux.scr
As the manual gitignore(5) says "Files already tracked by Git are not
affected", this is not a problem as far as Git is concerned.
However, Git is not the only program that parses .gitignore because
.gitignore is useful to distinguish build artifacts from source files.
For example, tar(1) supports the --exclude-vcs-ignore option. As of
writing, this option does not work perfectly, but it intends to create
a tarball excluding files specified by .gitignore.
So, I believe it is better to fix this issue.
