04823c833b mm: memcontrol: allow to disable kmem accounting for cgroup2
Kmem accounting might incur overhead that some users can't put up with.
Besides, the implementation is still considered unstable.  So let's
provide a way to disable it for those users who aren't happy with it.

To disable kmem accounting for cgroup2, pass cgroup.memory=nokmem at
boot time.

e535d74bc5 A relatively boring cycle in the docs tree. There's a few kernel-doc
fixes and various document tweaks.
 
 One patch reaches out of the documentation subtree to fix a comment in
 init/do_mounts_rd.c.  There didn't seem to be anybody more appropriate to
 take that one, so I accepted it.

f7e1cb6ec5 mm: memcontrol: account socket memory in unified hierarchy memory controller
Socket memory can be a significant share of overall memory consumed by
common workloads.  In order to provide reasonable resource isolation in
the unified hierarchy, this type of memory needs to be included in the
tracking/accounting of a cgroup under active memory resource control.

Overhead is only incurred when a non-root control group is created AND
the memory controller is instructed to track and account the memory
footprint of that group.  cgroup.memory=nosocket can be specified on the
boot commandline to override any runtime configuration and forcibly
exclude socket memory from active memory resource control.

afd8c08446 Documentation: Explain pci=conf1,conf2 more verbosely
People complained that setting the PCI config space access mechanism
through "pci=conf1" or "pci=conf2" on the command line is not really
documented. Yeah, can you blame them? Look at what we have now.

So try to improve the situation a bit by explaining what those "conf1"
and "conf2" things actually mean.

3b78fae793 tty: amba-pl011: use iotype instead of access_32b to track 32-bit I/O
Instead of defining a new field in the uart_amba_port structure, use the
existing iotype field of the uart_port structure, which is intended for
this purpose.  If we need to use 32-bit register access, we set iotype
to UPIO_MEM32, otherwise we set it to UPIO_MEM.

For early console, specify the "mmio32" option on the kernel command-line.
Example:

        earlycon=pl011,mmio32,0x3ced1000

b03539665d init, Documentation: Remove ramdisk_blocksize mentions
The brd driver has never supported the ramdisk_blocksize kernel
parameter that was in the rd driver it replaced, so remove
mention of this parameter from comments and Documentation.

Commit 9db5579be4 ("rewrite rd") replaced rd with brd, keeping
a brd_blocksize variable in struct brd_device but never using it.

Commit a2cba2913c ("brd: get rid of unused members from struct
brd_device") removed the unused variable.

Commit f5abc8e758 ("Documentation/blockdev/ramdisk.txt: updates")
removed mentions of ramdisk_blocksize from that file.

b7c4948e98 x86/apic: Introduce apic_extnmi command line parameter
This patch introduces a command line parameter apic_extnmi:

 apic_extnmi=( bsp|all|none )

The default value is "bsp" and this is the current behavior: only the
Boot-Strapping Processor receives an external NMI.

"all" allows external NMIs to be broadcast to all CPUs. This would
raise the success rate of panic on NMI when BSP hangs in NMI context
or the external NMI is swallowed by other NMI handlers on the BSP.

If you specify "none", no CPUs receive external NMIs. This is useful for
the dump capture kernel so that it cannot be shot down by accidentally
pressing the external NMI button (on platforms which have it) while
saving a crash dump.

bd94c4077a serial: support 16-bit register interface for console
Currently, 8-bit (MMIO) and 32-bit (MMIO32) register interfaces are
supported for the 8250 console, but the 16-bit (MMIO16) is not.
The 8250 UART device on my board is connected to a 16-bit bus and
my main motivation is to use earlycon with it.

82607adcf9 workqueue: implement lockup detector
Workqueue stalls can happen from a variety of usage bugs such as
missing WQ_MEM_RECLAIM flag or concurrency managed work item
indefinitely staying RUNNING.  These stalls can be extremely difficult
to hunt down because the usual warning mechanisms can't detect
workqueue stalls and the internal state is pretty opaque.

To alleviate the situation, this patch implements workqueue lockup
detector.  It periodically monitors all worker_pools periodically and,
if any pool failed to make forward progress longer than the threshold
duration, triggers warning and dumps workqueue state as follows.

 BUG: workqueue lockup - pool cpus=0 node=0 flags=0x0 nice=0 stuck for 31s!
 Showing busy workqueues and worker pools:
 workqueue events: flags=0x0
   pwq 0: cpus=0 node=0 flags=0x0 nice=0 active=17/256
     pending: monkey_wrench_fn, e1000_watchdog, cache_reap, vmstat_shepherd, release_one_tty, release_one_tty, release_one_tty, release_one_tty, release_one_tty, release_one_tty, release_one_tty, release_one_tty, release_one_tty, release_one_tty, release_one_tty, release_one_tty, cgroup_release_agent

   pwq 0: cpus=0 node=0 flags=0x0 nice=0 active=1/1
     pending: cgroup_pidlist_destroy_work_fn
 ...

The detection mechanism is controller through kernel parameter
workqueue.watchdog_thresh and can be updated at runtime through the
sysfs module parameter file.

v2: Decoupled from softlockup control knobs.

79cfea0273 rcu: Remove TINY_RCU bloat from pointless boot parameters
The rcu_expedited, rcu_normal, and rcu_normal_after_boot kernel boot
parameters are pointless in the case of TINY_RCU because in that case
synchronous grace periods, both expedited and normal, are no-ops.
However, these three symbols contribute several hundred bytes of bloat.
This commit therefore uses CPP directives to avoid compiling this code
in TINY_RCU kernels.

3e42ec1aa7 rcu: Allow expedited grace periods to be disabled at init
Expedited grace periods can speed up boot, but are undesirable in
aggressive real-time systems.  This commit therefore introduces a
kernel parameter rcupdate.rcu_normal_after_boot that disables
expedited grace periods just before init is spawned.

5a9be7c628 rcu: Add rcu_normal kernel parameter to suppress expediting
Although expedited grace periods can be quite useful, and although their
OS jitter has been greatly reduced, they can still pose problems for
extreme real-time workloads.  This commit therefore adds a rcu_normal
kernel boot parameter (which can also be manipulated via sysfs)
to suppress expedited grace periods, that is, to treat requests for
expedited grace periods as if they were requests for normal grace periods.
If both rcu_expedited and rcu_normal are specified, rcu_normal wins.
This means that if you are relying on expedited grace periods to speed up
boot, you will want to specify rcu_expedited on the kernel command line,
and then specify rcu_normal via sysfs once boot completes.

0290cc9f04 USB: limit usbfs snooping of URB contents
The usbfs_snoop facility can be very useful for debugging problems
involving usbfs.  However, it always prints out the entire contents of
every URB.  When dealing with large quantities of data, this can be
less than helpful.

This patch ameliorates the situation by adding a module parameter to
usbcore for controlling the maximum number of bytes to print when
snooping an URB.  This makes debugging much easier.  For backward
compatibility, the default value is set unreasonably high.

55537871ef kernel/watchdog.c: perform all-CPU backtrace in case of hard lockup
In many cases of hardlockup reports, it's actually not possible to know
why it triggered, because the CPU that got stuck is usually waiting on a
resource (with IRQs disabled) in posession of some other CPU is holding.

IOW, we are often looking at the stacktrace of the victim and not the
actual offender.

Introduce sysctl / cmdline parameter that makes it possible to have
hardlockup detector perform all-CPU backtrace.

 - introducing proper level-triggered semantics for the arch-timers
 - a series of patches to synchronously halt a guest (prerequisite for

 - some tracepoint improvements
 - a tweak for the EL2 panic handlers
 - some more VGIC cleanups getting rid of redundant state
 
 x86: quite a few changes:
 
 - support for VT-d posted interrupts (i.e. PCI devices can inject
 interrupts directly into vCPUs).  This introduces a new component (in
 virt/lib/) that connects VFIO and KVM together.  The same infrastructure
 will be used for ARM interrupt forwarding as well.
 
 - more Hyper-V features, though the main one Hyper-V synthetic interrupt
 controller will have to wait for 4.5.  These will let KVM expose Hyper-V
 devices.
 
 - nested virtualization now supports VPID (same as PCID but for vCPUs)
 which makes it quite a bit faster
 
 - for future hardware that supports NVDIMM, there is support for clflushopt,
 clwb, pcommit
 
 - support for "split irqchip", i.e. LAPIC in kernel + IOAPIC/PIC/PIT in
 userspace, which reduces the attack surface of the hypervisor
 
 - obligatory smattering of SMM fixes
 
 - on the guest side, stable scheduler clock support was rewritten to not
 require help from the hypervisor.

0d51ce9ca1 Power management and ACPI updates for v4.4-rc1
- ACPICA update to upstream revision 20150930 (Bob Moore, Lv Zheng).
 
    The most significant change is to allow the AML debugger to be
    built into the kernel.  On top of that there is an update related
    to the NFIT table (the ACPI persistent memory interface)
    and a few fixes and cleanups.
 
  - ACPI CPPC2 (Collaborative Processor Performance Control v2)
    support along with a cpufreq frontend (Ashwin Chaugule).
 
    This can only be enabled on ARM64 at this point.
 
  - New ACPI infrastructure for the early probing of IRQ chips and
    clock sources (Marc Zyngier).
 
  - Support for a new hierarchical properties extension of the ACPI
    _DSD (Device Specific Data) device configuration object allowing
    the kernel to handle hierarchical properties (provided by the
    platform firmware this way) automatically and make them available
    to device drivers via the generic device properties interface
    (Rafael Wysocki).
 
  - Generic device properties API extension to obtain an index of
    certain string value in an array of strings, along the lines of
    of_property_match_string(), but working for all of the supported
    firmware node types, and support for the "dma-names" device
    property based on it (Mika Westerberg).
 
  - ACPI core fix to parse the MADT (Multiple APIC Description Table)
    entries in the order expected by platform firmware (and mandated
    by the specification) to avoid confusion on systems with more than
    255 logical CPUs (Lukasz Anaczkowski).
 
  - Consolidation of the ACPI-based handling of PCI host bridges
    on x86 and ia64 (Jiang Liu).
 
  - ACPI core fixes to ensure that the correct IRQ number is used to
    represent the SCI (System Control Interrupt) in the cases when
    it has been re-mapped (Chen Yu).
 
  - New ACPI backlight quirk for Lenovo IdeaPad S405 (Hans de Goede).
 
  - ACPI EC driver fixes (Lv Zheng).
 
  - Assorted ACPI fixes and cleanups (Dan Carpenter, Insu Yun, Jiri
    Kosina, Rami Rosen, Rasmus Villemoes).
 
  - New mechanism in the PM core allowing drivers to check if the
    platform firmware is going to be involved in the upcoming system
    suspend or if it has been involved in the suspend the system is
    resuming from at the moment (Rafael Wysocki).
 
    This should allow drivers to optimize their suspend/resume
    handling in some cases and the changes include a couple of users
    of it (the i8042 input driver, PCI PM).
 
  - PCI PM fix to prevent runtime-suspended devices with PME enabled
    from being resumed during system suspend even if they aren't
    configured to wake up the system from sleep (Rafael Wysocki).
 
  - New mechanism to report the number of a wakeup IRQ that woke up
    the system from sleep last time (Alexandra Yates).
 
  - Removal of unused interfaces from the generic power domains
    framework and fixes related to latency measurements in that
    code (Ulf Hansson, Daniel Lezcano).
 
  - cpufreq core sysfs interface rework to make it handle CPUs that
    share performance scaling settings (represented by a common
    cpufreq policy object) more symmetrically (Viresh Kumar).
 
    This should help to simplify the CPU offline/online handling among
    other things.
 
  - cpufreq core fixes and cleanups (Viresh Kumar).
 
  - intel_pstate fixes related to the Turbo Activation Ratio (TAR)
    mechanism on client platforms which causes the turbo P-states
    range to vary depending on platform firmware settings (Srinivas
    Pandruvada).
 
  - intel_pstate sysfs interface fix (Prarit Bhargava).
 
  - Assorted cpufreq driver (imx, tegra20, powernv, integrator) fixes
    and cleanups (Bai Ping, Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz, Shilpasri G
    Bhat, Luis de Bethencourt).
 
  - cpuidle mvebu driver cleanups (Russell King).
 
  - OPP (Operating Performance Points) framework code reorganization
    to make it more maintainable (Viresh Kumar).
 
  - Intel Broxton support for the RAPL (Running Average Power Limits)
    power capping driver (Amy Wiles).
 
  - Assorted power management code fixes and cleanups (Dan Carpenter,
    Geert Uytterhoeven, Geliang Tang, Luis de Bethencourt, Rasmus
    Villemoes).

Merge tag 'pm+acpi-4.4-rc1-1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm

Pull power management and ACPI updates from Rafael Wysocki:
 "Quite a new features are included this time.

  First off, the Collaborative Processor Performance Control interface
  (version 2) defined by ACPI will now be supported on ARM64 along with
  a cpufreq frontend for CPU performance scaling.

  Second, ACPI gets a new infrastructure for the early probing of IRQ
  chips and clock sources (along the lines of the existing similar
  mechanism for DT).

  Next, the ACPI core and the generic device properties API will now
  support a recently introduced hierarchical properties extension of the
  _DSD (Device Specific Data) ACPI device configuration object.  If the
  ACPI platform firmware uses that extension to organize device
  properties in a hierarchical way, the kernel will automatically handle
  it and make those properties available to device drivers via the
  generic device properties API.

  It also will be possible to build the ACPICA's AML interpreter
  debugger into the kernel now and use that to diagnose AML-related
  problems more efficiently.  In the future, this should make it
  possible to single-step AML execution and do similar things.
  Interesting stuff, although somewhat experimental at this point.

  Finally, the PM core gets a new mechanism that can be used by device
  drivers to distinguish between suspend-to-RAM (based on platform
  firmware support) and suspend-to-idle (or other variants of system
  suspend the platform firmware is not involved in) and possibly
  optimize their device suspend/resume handling accordingly.

  In addition to that, some existing features are re-organized quite
  substantially.

  First, the ACPI-based handling of PCI host bridges on x86 and ia64 is
  unified and the common code goes into the ACPI core (so as to reduce
  code duplication and eliminate non-essential differences between the
  two architectures in that area).

  Second, the Operating Performance Points (OPP) framework is
  reorganized to make the code easier to find and follow.

  Next, the cpufreq core's sysfs interface is reorganized to get rid of
  the "primary CPU" concept for configurations in which the same
  performance scaling settings are shared between multiple CPUs.

  Finally, some interfaces that aren't necessary any more are dropped
  from the generic power domains framework.

  On top of the above we have some minor extensions, cleanups and bug
  fixes in multiple places, as usual.

  Specifics:

   - ACPICA update to upstream revision 20150930 (Bob Moore, Lv Zheng).

     The most significant change is to allow the AML debugger to be
     built into the kernel.  On top of that there is an update related

0f96a99dab 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):

334bb79c18 doc: Clarify that nmi_watchdog param is for hardlockups
The kernel NMI watchdog acts as both a hardlockup and softlockup detector.
However, the kernel parameter nmi_watchdog can only enable or disable the
hardlockup detector. Clarify that in the documentation.

ee968ac61d rcu: Eliminate panic when silly boot-time fanout specified
This commit loosens rcutree.rcu_fanout_leaf range checks
and replaces a panic() with a fallback to compile-time values.
This fallback is accompanied by a WARN_ON(), and both occur when the
rcutree.rcu_fanout_leaf value is too small to accommodate the number of
CPUs.  For example, given the current four-level limit for the rcu_node
tree, a system with more than 16 CPUs built with CONFIG_FANOUT=2 must
have rcutree.rcu_fanout_leaf larger than 2.

c70727a5bc xen: allow more than 512 GB of RAM for 64 bit pv-domains
64 bit pv-domains under Xen are limited to 512 GB of RAM today. The
main reason has been the 3 level p2m tree, which was replaced by the
virtual mapped linear p2m list. Parallel to the p2m list which is
being used by the kernel itself there is a 3 level mfn tree for usage
by the Xen tools and eventually for crash dump analysis. For this tree
the linear p2m list can serve as a replacement, too. As the kernel
can't know whether the tools are capable of dealing with the p2m list
instead of the mfn tree, the limit of 512 GB can't be dropped in all
cases.

This patch replaces the hard limit by a kernel parameter which tells
the kernel to obey the 512 GB limit or not. The default is selected by
a configuration parameter which specifies whether the 512 GB limit
should be active per default for domUs (domain save/restore/migration
and crash dump analysis are affected).

Memory above the domain limit is returned to the hypervisor instead of
being identity mapped, which was wrong anyway.

The kernel configuration parameter to specify the maximum size of a
domain can be deleted, as it is not relevant any more.
