efi: Add "efi_fake_mem" boot option
This patch introduces new boot option named "efi_fake_mem". By specifying this parameter, you can add arbitrary attribute to specific memory range. This is useful for debugging of Address Range Mirroring feature. For example, if "efi_fake_mem=2G@4G:0x10000,2G@0x10a0000000:0x10000" is specified, the original (firmware provided) EFI memmap will be updated so that the specified memory regions have EFI_MEMORY_MORE_RELIABLE attribute (0x10000): <original> efi: mem36: [Conventional Memory| | | | | | |WB|WT|WC|UC] range=[0x0000000100000000-0x00000020a0000000) (129536MB) <updated> efi: mem36: [Conventional Memory| |MR| | | | |WB|WT|WC|UC] range=[0x0000000100000000-0x0000000180000000) (2048MB) efi: mem37: [Conventional Memory| | | | | | |WB|WT|WC|UC] range=[0x0000000180000000-0x00000010a0000000) (61952MB) efi: mem38: [Conventional Memory| |MR| | | | |WB|WT|WC|UC] range=[0x00000010a0000000-0x0000001120000000) (2048MB) efi: mem39: [Conventional Memory| | | | | | |WB|WT|WC|UC] range=[0x0000001120000000-0x00000020a0000000) (63488MB) And you will find that the following message is output: efi: Memory: 4096M/131455M mirrored memory Signed-off-by: Taku Izumi <izumi.taku@jp.fujitsu.com> Cc: Tony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com> Cc: Xishi Qiu <qiuxishi@huawei.com> Cc: Kamezawa Hiroyuki <kamezawa.hiroyu@jp.fujitsu.com> Cc: Ard Biesheuvel <ard.biesheuvel@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Matt Fleming <matt.fleming@intel.com> |

Pull ACPICA updates from Rafael Wysocki:
"Additional ACPICA material for v4.2-rc1
This will update the ACPICA code in the kernel to upstream revision
20150619 (a bug-fix release mostly including stable-candidate fixes)
and restore an earlier ACPICA commit that had to be reverted due to a
regression introduced by it (the regression is addressed by
blacklisting the only known system affected by it to date).
The only new feature added by this update is the support for
overriding objects in the ACPI namespace and a new ACPI table that can
be used for that called the Override System Definition Table (OSDT).
That should allow us to "patch" the ACPI namespace built from
incomplete or incorrect ACPI System Definition tables (DSDT, SSDT)
during system startup without the need to provide replacements for all
of those tables in the future.

ACPI / init: Make it possible to override _REV
The platform firmware on some systems expects Linux to return "5" as the supported ACPI revision which makes it expose system configuration information in a special way. For example, based on what ACPI exports as the supported revision, Dell XPS 13 (2015) configures its audio device to either work in HDA mode or in I2S mode, where the former is supposed to be used on Linux until the latter is fully supported (in the kernel as well as in user space). Since ACPI 6 mandates that _REV should return "2" if ACPI 2 or later is supported by the OS, a subsequent change will make that happen, so make it possible to override that on systems where "5" is expected to be returned for Linux to work correctly one them (such as the Dell machine mentioned above).

the handling of EC transactions (Lv Zheng).
- Fix for a regression related to the ACPI resources management
and resulting from a recent change of ACPI initialization code
ordering (Rafael J Wysocki).

introduced during the 3.14 cycle and caused by running the
code that switches the platform over to the ACPI mode too
early in the initialization sequence (Rafael J Wysocki).
- Support for the ACPI _CCA device configuration object related
to DMA cache coherence (Suravee Suthikulpanit).

- ACPI processor driver cleanups (Hanjun Guo).
- Cleanups and documentation update related to the ACPI device
properties interface based on _DSD (Rafael J Wysocki).
- ACPI device power management fixes (Rafael J Wysocki).
- Assorted cleanups related to ACPI (Dominik Brodowski. Fabian
Frederick, Lorenzo Pieralisi, Mathias Krause, Rafael J Wysocki).
- Fix for a long-standing issue causing General Protection Faults
to be generated occasionally on return to user space after resume
from ACPI-based suspend-to-RAM on 32-bit x86 (Ingo Molnar).
- Fix to make the suspend core code return -EBUSY consistently in
all cases when system suspend is aborted due to wakeup detection
(Ruchi Kandoi).
- Support for automated device wakeup IRQ handling allowing drivers
to make their PM support more starightforward (Tony Lindgren).
- New tracepoints for suspend-to-idle tracing and rework of the
prepare/complete callbacks tracing in the PM core (Todd E Brandt,
Rafael J Wysocki).
- Wakeup sources framework enhancements (Jin Qian).
- New macro for noirq system PM callbacks (Grygorii Strashko).
- Assorted cleanups related to system suspend (Rafael J Wysocki).
- cpuidle core cleanups to make the code more efficient (Rafael J
Wysocki).
- powernv/pseries cpuidle driver update (Shilpasri G Bhat).
- cpufreq core fixes related to CPU online/offline that should
reduce the overhead of these operations quite a bit, unless the
CPU in question is physically going away (Viresh Kumar, Saravana
Kannan).
- Serialization of cpufreq governor callbacks to avoid race
conditions in some cases (Viresh Kumar).
- intel_pstate driver fixes and cleanups (Doug Smythies, Prarit
Bhargava, Joe Konno).

Limit) power capping driver (Dasaratharaman Chandramouli).
- Fixes related to the floor frequency setting on Atom SoCs in the
RAPL power capping driver (Ajay Thomas).
- Runtime PM framework documentation update (Ben Dooks).
- cpupower tool fix (Herton R Krzesinski).

Pull power management and ACPI updates from Rafael Wysocki:
"The rework of backlight interface selection API from Hans de Goede
stands out from the number of commits and the number of affected
places perspective. The cpufreq core fixes from Viresh Kumar are
quite significant too as far as the number of commits goes and because
they should reduce CPU online/offline overhead quite a bit in the
majority of cases.
From the new featues point of view, the ACPICA update (to upstream
revision 20150515) adding support for new ACPI 6 material to ACPICA is
the one that matters the most as some new significant features will be
based on it going forward. Also included is an update of the ACPI
device power management core to follow ACPI 6 (which in turn reflects
the Windows' device PM implementation), a PM core extension to support
wakeup interrupts in a more generic way and support for the ACPI _CCA
device configuration object.
The rest is mostly fixes and cleanups all over and some documentation
updates, including new DT bindings for Operating Performance Points.
There is one fix for a regression introduced in the 4.1 cycle, but it
adds quite a number of lines of code, it wasn't really ready before
Thursday and you were on vacation, so I refrained from pushing it on
the last minute for 4.1.

- ACPICA update to upstream revision 20150515 including basic support
for ACPI 6 features: new ACPI tables introduced by ACPI 6 (STAO,
XENV, WPBT, NFIT, IORT), changes related to the other tables (DTRM,
FADT, LPIT, MADT), new predefined names (_BTH, _CR3, _DSD, _LPI,
_MTL, _PRR, _RDI, _RST, _TFP, _TSN), fixes and cleanups (Bob Moore,
Lv Zheng).
- ACPI device power management core code update to follow ACPI 6
which reflects the ACPI device power management implementation in
Windows (Rafael J Wysocki).
- rework of the backlight interface selection logic to reduce the
number of kernel command line options and improve the handling of
DMI quirks that may be involved in that and to make the code
generally more straightforward (Hans de Goede).
- fixes for the ACPI Embedded Controller (EC) driver related to the
handling of EC transactions (Lv Zheng).
- fix for a regression related to the ACPI resources management and
resulting from a recent change of ACPI initialization code ordering
(Rafael J Wysocki).
- fix for a system initialization regression related to ACPI
introduced during the 3.14 cycle and caused by running the code
that switches the platform over to the ACPI mode too early in the
initialization sequence (Rafael J Wysocki).
- support for the ACPI _CCA device configuration object related to
DMA cache coherence (Suravee Suthikulpanit).

be generated occasionally on return to user space after resume from
ACPI-based suspend-to-RAM on 32-bit x86 (Ingo Molnar).
- fix to make the suspend core code return -EBUSY consistently in all
cases when system suspend is aborted due to wakeup detection (Ruchi
Kandoi).
- support for automated device wakeup IRQ handling allowing drivers
to make their PM support more starightforward (Tony Lindgren).

- new macro for noirq system PM callbacks (Grygorii Strashko).
- assorted cleanups related to system suspend (Rafael J Wysocki).
- cpuidle core cleanups to make the code more efficient (Rafael J
Wysocki).

- cpufreq core fixes related to CPU online/offline that should reduce
the overhead of these operations quite a bit, unless the CPU in
question is physically going away (Viresh Kumar, Saravana Kannan).
- serialization of cpufreq governor callbacks to avoid race
conditions in some cases (Viresh Kumar).
- intel_pstate driver fixes and cleanups (Doug Smythies, Prarit
Bhargava, Joe Konno).

Merge branch 'x86-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull x86 core updates from Ingo Molnar:
"There were so many changes in the x86/asm, x86/apic and x86/mm topics
in this cycle that the topical separation of -tip broke down somewhat -
so the result is a more traditional architecture pull request,
collected into the 'x86/core' topic.
The topics were still maintained separately as far as possible, so
bisectability and conceptual separation should still be pretty good -
but there were a handful of merge points to avoid excessive
dependencies (and conflicts) that would have been poorly tested in the
end.
The next cycle will hopefully be much more quiet (or at least will
have fewer dependencies).
The main changes in this cycle were:
* x86/apic changes, with related IRQ core changes: (Jiang Liu, Thomas
Gleixner)
- This is the second and most intrusive part of changes to the x86
interrupt handling - full conversion to hierarchical interrupt
domains:
[IOAPIC domain] -----
|
[MSI domain] --------[Remapping domain] ----- [ Vector domain ]
| (optional) |
[HPET MSI domain] ----- |
|
[DMAR domain] -----------------------------
|
[Legacy domain] -----------------------------
This now reflects the actual hardware and allowed us to distangle
the domain specific code from the underlying parent domain, which
can be optional in the case of interrupt remapping. It's a clear
separation of functionality and removes quite some duct tape
constructs which plugged the remap code between ioapic/msi/hpet
and the vector management.
- Intel IOMMU IRQ remapping enhancements, to allow direct interrupt
injection into guests (Feng Wu)
* x86/asm changes:
- Tons of cleanups and small speedups, micro-optimizations. This
is in preparation to move a good chunk of the low level entry
code from assembly to C code (Denys Vlasenko, Andy Lutomirski,
Brian Gerst)
- Moved all system entry related code to a new home under
arch/x86/entry/ (Ingo Molnar)
- Removal of the fragile and ugly CFI dwarf debuginfo annotations.
Conversion to C will reintroduce many of them - but meanwhile
they are only getting in the way, and the upstream kernel does
not rely on them (Ingo Molnar)
- NOP handling refinements. (Borislav Petkov)
* x86/mm changes:
- Big PAT and MTRR rework: making the code more robust and
preparing to phase out exposing direct MTRR interfaces to drivers -
in favor of using PAT driven interfaces (Toshi Kani, Luis R
Rodriguez, Borislav Petkov)
- New ioremap_wt()/set_memory_wt() interfaces to support
Write-Through cached memory mappings. This is especially
important for good performance on NVDIMM hardware (Toshi Kani)
* x86/ras changes:
- Add support for deferred errors on AMD (Aravind Gopalakrishnan)
This is an important RAS feature which adds hardware support for
poisoned data. That means roughly that the hardware marks data
which it has detected as corrupted but wasn't able to correct, as
poisoned data and raises an APIC interrupt to signal that in the
form of a deferred error. It is the OS's responsibility then to
take proper recovery action and thus prolonge system lifetime as
far as possible.
- Add support for Intel "Local MCE"s: upcoming CPUs will support
CPU-local MCE interrupts, as opposed to the traditional system-
wide broadcasted MCE interrupts (Ashok Raj)
- Misc cleanups (Borislav Petkov)
* x86/platform changes:
- Intel Atom SoC updates
... and lots of other cleanups, fixlets and other changes - see the
shortlog and the Git log for details"

Merge branch 'x86-fpu-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull x86 FPU updates from Ingo Molnar:
"This tree contains two main changes:
- The big FPU code rewrite: wide reaching cleanups and reorganization
that pulls all the FPU code together into a clean base in
arch/x86/fpu/.
The resulting code is leaner and faster, and much easier to
understand. This enables future work to further simplify the FPU
code (such as removing lazy FPU restores).
By its nature these changes have a substantial regression risk: FPU
code related bugs are long lived, because races are often subtle
and bugs mask as user-space failures that are difficult to track
back to kernel side backs. I'm aware of no unfixed (or even
suspected) FPU related regression so far.
- MPX support rework/fixes. As this is still not a released CPU
feature, there were some buglets in the code - should be much more
robust now (Dave Hansen)"

ima: update builtin policies
This patch defines a builtin measurement policy "tcb", similar to the existing "ima_tcb", but with additional rules to also measure files based on the effective uid and to measure files opened with the "read" mode bit set (eg. read, read-write). Changing the builtin "ima_tcb" policy could potentially break existing users. Instead of defining a new separate boot command line option each time the builtin measurement policy is modified, this patch defines a single generic boot command line option "ima_policy=" to specify the builtin policy and deprecates the use of the builtin ima_tcb policy. [The "ima_policy=" boot command line option is based on Roberto Sassu's "ima: added new policy type exec" patch.] Signed-off-by: Mimi Zohar <zohar@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Dr. Greg Wettstein <gw@idfusion.org> Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org |

Pull VT-d hardware workarounds from David Woodhouse: "This contains a workaround for hardware issues which I *thought* were never going to be seen on production hardware. I'm glad I checked that before the 4.1 release... Firstly, PASID support is so broken on existing chips that we're just going to declare the old capability bit 28 as 'reserved' and change the VT-d spec to move PASID support to another bit. So any existing hardware doesn't support SVM; it only sets that (now) meaningless bit 28. That patch *wasn't* imperative for 4.1 because we don't have PASID support yet. But *even* the extended context tables are broken — if you just enable the wider tables and use none of the new bits in them, which is precisely what 4.1 does, you find that translations don't work. It's this problem which I thought was caught in time to be fixed before production, but wasn't. To avoid triggering this issue, we now *only* enable the extended context tables on hardware which also advertises "we have PASID support and we actually tested it this time" with the new PASID feature bit. In addition, I've added an 'intel_iommu=ecs_off' command line parameter to allow us to disable it manually if we need to" * git://git.infradead.org/intel-iommu: iommu/vt-d: Only enable extended context tables if PASID is supported iommu/vt-d: Change PASID support to bit 40 of Extended Capability Register |

iommu/vt-d: Only enable extended context tables if PASID is supported
Although the extended tables are theoretically a completely orthogonal
feature to PASID and anything else that *uses* the newly-available bits,
some of the early hardware has problems even when all we do is enable
them and use only the same bits that were in the old context tables.
For now, there's no motivation to support extended tables unless we're
going to use PASID support to do SVM. So just don't use them unless
PASID support is advertised too. Also add a command-line bailout just in
case later chips also have issues.
The equivalent problem for PASID support has already been fixed with the
upcoming VT-d spec update and commit

rcutorture: Allow negative values of nreaders to oversubscribe
By default, with rcutorture.nreaders equal to -1, rcutorture provisions N-1 reader kthreads, where N is the number of CPUs. This avoids rcutorture-induced stalls, but also avoids heavier levels of torture. This commit therefore allows negative values of rcutorture.nreaders to specify larger numbers of reader kthreads, so that for example rcutorture.nreaders=-2 provisions N kthreads and rcutorture.nreaders=-5 provisions N+3 kthreads.

rcu: Provide diagnostic option to slow down grace-period scans
Grace-period scans of the rcu_node combining tree normally proceed quite quickly, so that it is very difficult to reproduce races against them. This commit therefore allows grace-period pre-initialization and cleanup to be artificially slowed down, increasing race-reproduction probability. A pair of pairs of new Kconfig parameters are provided, RCU_TORTURE_TEST_SLOW_PREINIT to enable the slowing down of propagating CPU-hotplug changes up the combining tree along with RCU_TORTURE_TEST_SLOW_PREINIT_DELAY to specify the delay in jiffies, and RCU_TORTURE_TEST_SLOW_CLEANUP to enable the slowing down of the end-of-grace-period cleanup scan along with RCU_TORTURE_TEST_SLOW_CLEANUP_DELAY to specify the delay in jiffies. Boot-time parameters named rcutree.gp_preinit_delay and rcutree.gp_cleanup_delay allow these delays to be specified at boot time. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com> |

driver-core: add driver module asynchronous probe support
Some init systems may wish to express the desire to have device drivers run their probe() code asynchronously. This implements support for this and allows userspace to request async probe as a preference through a generic shared device driver module parameter, async_probe. Implementation for async probe is supported through a module parameter given that since synchronous probe has been prevalent for years some userspace might exist which relies on the fact that the device driver will probe synchronously and the assumption that devices it provides will be immediately available after this.

uas: Add US_FL_MAX_SECTORS_240 flag
The usb-storage driver sets max_sectors = 240 in its scsi-host template, for uas we do not want to do that for all devices, but testing has shown that some devices need it. This commit adds a US_FL_MAX_SECTORS_240 flag for such devices, and implements support for it in uas.c, while at it it also adds support for US_FL_MAX_SECTORS_64 to uas.c.

Initial ACPI support for arm64:
This series introduces preliminary ACPI 5.1 support to the arm64 kernel using the "hardware reduced" profile. We don't support any peripherals yet, so it's fairly limited in scope: - Memory init (UEFI) - ACPI discovery (RSDP via UEFI) - CPU init (FADT) - GIC init (MADT) - SMP boot (MADT + PSCI) - ACPI Kconfig options (dependent on EXPERT) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1 iQEcBAABCgAGBQJVNOC2AAoJELescNyEwWM08dIH/1Pn5xa04wwNDn0MOpbuQMk2 kHM7hx69fbXflTJpnZRVyFBjRxxr5qilA7rljAFLnFeF8Fcll/s5VNy7ElHKLISq CB0ywgUfOd/sFJH57rcc67pC1b/XuqTbE1u1NFwvp2R3j1kGAEJWNA6SyxIP4bbc NO5jScx0lQOJ3rrPAXBW8qlGkeUk7TPOQJtMrpftNXlFLFrR63rPaEmMZ9dWepBF aRE4GXPvyUhpyv5o9RvlN5l8bQttiRJ3f9QjyG7NYhX0PXH3DyvGUzYlk2IoZtID v3ssCQH3uRsAZHIBhaTyNqFnUIaDR825bvGqyG/tj2Dt3kQZiF+QrfnU5D9TuMw= =zLJn -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'arm64-upstream' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm64/linux Pull initial ACPI support for arm64 from Will Deacon: "This series introduces preliminary ACPI 5.1 support to the arm64 kernel using the "hardware reduced" profile. We don't support any peripherals yet, so it's fairly limited in scope: - MEMORY init (UEFI) - ACPI discovery (RSDP via UEFI) - CPU init (FADT) - GIC init (MADT) - SMP boot (MADT + PSCI) - ACPI Kconfig options (dependent on EXPERT) ACPI for arm64 has been in development for a while now and hardware has been available that can boot with either FDT or ACPI tables. This has been made possible by both changes to the ACPI spec to cater for ARM-based machines (known as "hardware-reduced" in ACPI parlance) but also a Linaro-driven effort to get this supported on top of the Linux kernel. This pull request is the result of that work. These changes allow us to initialise the CPUs, interrupt controller, and timers via ACPI tables, with memory information and cmdline coming from EFI. We don't support a hybrid ACPI/FDT scheme. Of course, there is still plenty of work to do (a serial console would be nice!) but I expect that to happen on a per-driver basis after this core series has been merged. Anyway, the diff stat here is fairly horrible, but splitting this up and merging it via all the different subsystems would have been extremely painful. Instead, we've got all the relevant Acks in place and I've not seen anything other than trivial (Kconfig) conflicts in -next (for completeness, I've included my resolution below). Nearly half of the insertions fall under Documentation/. So, we'll see how this goes.

TTY/Serial patches for 4.1-rc1
Here's the big tty/serial driver update for 4.1-rc1. It was delayed for a bit due to some questions surrounding some of the console command line parsing changes that are in here. There's still one tiny regression for people who were previously putting multiple console command lines and expecting them all to be ignored for some odd reason, but Peter is working on fixing that. If not, I'll send a revert for the offending patch, but I have faith that Peter can address it. Other than the console work here, there's the usual serial driver updates and changes, and a buch of 8250 reworks to try to make that driver easier to maintain over time, and have it support more devices in the future.

Merge branch 'x86-pmem-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull PMEM driver from Ingo Molnar: "This is the initial support for the pmem block device driver: persistent non-volatile memory space mapped into the system's physical memory space as large physical memory regions. The driver is based on Intel code, written by Ross Zwisler, with fixes by Boaz Harrosh, integrated with x86 e820 memory resource management and tidied up by Christoph Hellwig. Note that there were two other separate pmem driver submissions to lkml: but apparently all parties (Ross Zwisler, Boaz Harrosh) are reasonably happy with this initial version. This version enables minimal support that enables persistent memory devices out in the wild to work as block devices, identified through a magic (non-standard) e820 flag and auto-discovered if CONFIG_X86_PMEM_LEGACY=y, or added explicitly through manipulating the memory maps via the "memmap=..." boot option with the new, special '!' modifier character. Limitations: this is a regular block device, and since the pmem areas are not struct page backed, they are invisible to the rest of the system (other than the block IO device), so direct IO to/from pmem areas, direct mmap() or XIP is not possible yet. The page cache will also shadow and double buffer pmem contents, etc. Initial support is for x86" * 'x86-pmem-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: drivers/block/pmem: Fix 32-bit build warning in pmem_alloc() drivers/block/pmem: Add a driver for persistent memory x86/mm: Add support for the non-standard protected e820 type |

watchdog: enable the new user interface of the watchdog mechanism
With the current user interface of the watchdog mechanism it is only
possible to disable or enable both lockup detectors at the same time.
This series introduces new kernel parameters and changes the semantics of
some existing kernel parameters, so that the hard lockup detector and the
soft lockup detector can be disabled or enabled individually. With this
series applied, the user interface is as follows.
- parameters in /proc/sys/kernel
. soft_watchdog
This is a new parameter to control and examine the run state of
the soft lockup detector.
. nmi_watchdog
The semantics of this parameter have changed. It can now be used
to control and examine the run state of the hard lockup detector.
. watchdog
This parameter is still available to control the run state of both
lockup detectors at the same time. If this parameter is examined,
it shows the logical OR of soft_watchdog and nmi_watchdog.
. watchdog_thresh
The semantics of this parameter are not affected by the patch.
- kernel command line parameters
. nosoftlockup
The semantics of this parameter have changed. It can now be used
to disable the soft lockup detector at boot time.
. nmi_watchdog=0 or nmi_watchdog=1
Disable or enable the hard lockup detector at boot time. The patch
introduces '=1' as a new option.
. nowatchdog
The semantics of this parameter are not affected by the patch. It
is still available to disable both lockup detectors at boot time.
Also, remove the proc_dowatchdog() function which is no longer needed.

Merge branch 'core-rcu-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull RCU changes from Ingo Molnar:
"The main changes in this cycle were:
- changes permitting use of call_rcu() and friends very early in
boot, for example, before rcu_init() is invoked.
- add in-kernel API to enable and disable expediting of normal RCU
grace periods.
- improve RCU's handling of (hotplug-) outgoing CPUs.
- NO_HZ_FULL_SYSIDLE fixes.
- tiny-RCU updates to make it more tiny.
- documentation updates.
- miscellaneous fixes"

x86/mm: Add support for the non-standard protected e820 type
Various recent BIOSes support NVDIMMs or ADR using a non-standard e820 memory type, and Intel supplied reference Linux code using this type to various vendors.

ARM64 / ACPI: Introduce early_param "acpi=" to enable/disable ACPI
This implements the following policy to decide whether ACPI should be used to boot the system: - acpi=off: ACPI will not be used to boot the system, even if there is no alternative available (e.g., device tree is empty) - acpi=force: only ACPI will be used to boot the system; if that fails, there will be no fallback to alternative methods (such as device tree) - otherwise, ACPI will be used as a fallback if the device tree turns out to lack a platform description; the heuristic to decide this is whether /chosen is the only node present at depth 1 CC: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com> CC: Will Deacon <will.deacon@arm.com> CC: Rafael J.

rcu: Provide diagnostic option to slow down grace-period initialization
Grace-period initialization normally proceeds quite quickly, so that it is very difficult to reproduce races against grace-period initialization. This commit therefore allows grace-period initialization to be artificially slowed down, increasing race-reproduction probability. A pair of new Kconfig parameters are provided, CONFIG_RCU_TORTURE_TEST_SLOW_INIT to enable the slowdowns, and CONFIG_RCU_TORTURE_TEST_SLOW_INIT_DELAY to specify the number of jiffies of slowdown to apply. A boot-time parameter named rcutree.gp_init_delay allows boot-time delay to be specified. By default, no delay will be applied even if CONFIG_RCU_TORTURE_TEST_SLOW_INIT is set. Signed-off-by: Paul E.
