7c672abc12 It's a somewhat calmer cycle for docs this time, as the churn of the mass
RST conversion is happily mostly behind us.
 
  - A new document on reproducible builds.
 
  - We finally got around to zapping the documentation for hardware support
    that was removed in 2004; one doesn't want to rush these things.
 
  - The usual assortment of fixes, typo corrections, etc.
 
 You'll still find a handful of annoying conflicts against other trees,
 mostly tied to the last RST conversions; resolutions are straightforward
 and the linux-next ones are good.

Pull scheduler updates from Ingo Molnar:

 - MAINTAINERS: Add Mark Rutland as perf submaintainer, Juri Lelli and
   Vincent Guittot as scheduler submaintainers. Add Dietmar Eggemann,
   Steven Rostedt, Ben Segall and Mel Gorman as scheduler reviewers.

   As perf and the scheduler is getting bigger and more complex,
   document the status quo of current responsibilities and interests,
   and spread the review pain^H^H^H^H fun via an increase in the Cc:
   linecount generated by scripts/get_maintainer.pl. :-)

 - Add another series of patches that brings the -rt (PREEMPT_RT) tree
   closer to mainline: split the monolithic CONFIG_PREEMPT dependencies
   into a new CONFIG_PREEMPTION category that will allow the eventual
   introduction of CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT. Still a few more hundred patches
   to go though.

 - Extend the CPU cgroup controller with uclamp.min and uclamp.max to
   allow the finer shaping of CPU bandwidth usage.

 - Micro-optimize energy-aware wake-ups from O(CPUS^2) to O(CPUS).

 - Improve the behavior of high CPU count, high thread count
   applications running under cpu.cfs_quota_us constraints.

 - Improve balancing with SCHED_IDLE (SCHED_BATCH) tasks present.

 - Improve CPU isolation housekeeping CPU allocation NUMA locality.

 - Fix deadline scheduler bandwidth calculations and logic when cpusets
   rebuilds the topology, or when it gets deadline-throttled while it's
   being offlined.

 - Convert the cpuset_mutex to percpu_rwsem, to allow it to be used from
   setscheduler() system calls without creating global serialization.
   Add new synchronization between cpuset topology-changing events and
   the deadline acceptance tests in setscheduler(), which were broken
   before.

 - Rework the active_mm state machine to be less confusing and more
   optimal.

 - Rework (simplify) the pick_next_task() slowpath.

 - Improve load-balancing on AMD EPYC systems.

 - ... and misc cleanups, smaller fixes and improvements - please see
   the Git log for more details.

Merge tag 'arm64-upstream' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm64/linux

Pull arm64 updates from Will Deacon:
 "Although there isn't tonnes of code in terms of line count, there are
  a fair few headline features which I've noted both in the tag and also
  in the merge commits when I pulled everything together.

  The part I'm most pleased with is that we had 35 contributors this
  time around, which feels like a big jump from the usual small group of
  core arm64 arch developers. Hopefully they all enjoyed it so much that
  they'll continue to contribute, but we'll see.

  It's probably worth highlighting that we've pulled in a branch from
  the risc-v folks which moves our CPU topology code out to where it can
  be shared with others.

  Summary:

   - 52-bit virtual addressing in the kernel

   - New ABI to allow tagged user pointers to be dereferenced by
     syscalls

   - Early RNG seeding by the bootloader

   - Improve robustness of SMP boot

   - Fix TLB invalidation in light of recent architectural
     clarifications

   - Support for i.MX8 DDR PMU

   - Remove direct LSE instruction patching in favour of static keys

   - Function error injection using kprobes

2480c09313 sched/uclamp: Extend CPU's cgroup controller
The cgroup CPU bandwidth controller allows to assign a specified
(maximum) bandwidth to the tasks of a group. However this bandwidth is
defined and enforced only on a temporal base, without considering the
actual frequency a CPU is running on. Thus, the amount of computation
completed by a task within an allocated bandwidth can be very different
depending on the actual frequency the CPU is running that task.
The amount of computation can be affected also by the specific CPU a
task is running on, especially when running on asymmetric capacity
systems like Arm's big.LITTLE.

With the availability of schedutil, the scheduler is now able
to drive frequency selections based on actual task utilization.
Moreover, the utilization clamping support provides a mechanism to
bias the frequency selection operated by schedutil depending on
constraints assigned to the tasks currently RUNNABLE on a CPU.

Giving the mechanisms described above, it is now possible to extend the
cpu controller to specify the minimum (or maximum) utilization which
should be considered for tasks RUNNABLE on a cpu.
This makes it possible to better defined the actual computational
power assigned to task groups, thus improving the cgroup CPU bandwidth
controller which is currently based just on time constraints.

Extend the CPU controller with a couple of new attributes uclamp.{min,max}
which allow to enforce utilization boosting and capping for all the
tasks in a group.

Specifically:

- uclamp.min: defines the minimum utilization which should be considered
	      i.e. the RUNNABLE tasks of this group will run at least at a
	      minimum frequency which corresponds to the uclamp.min
	      utilization

- uclamp.max: defines the maximum utilization which should be considered
	      i.e. the RUNNABLE tasks of this group will run up to a
	      maximum frequency which corresponds to the uclamp.max
	      utilization

These attributes:

a) are available only for non-root nodes, both on default and legacy
   hierarchies, while system wide clamps are defined by a generic
   interface which does not depends on cgroups. This system wide
   interface enforces constraints on tasks in the root node.

b) enforce effective constraints at each level of the hierarchy which
   are a restriction of the group requests considering its parent's
   effective constraints. Root group effective constraints are defined
   by the system wide interface.
   This mechanism allows each (non-root) level of the hierarchy to:
   - request whatever clamp values it would like to get
   - effectively get only up to the maximum amount allowed by its parent

c) have higher priority than task-specific clamps, defined via
   sched_setattr(), thus allowing to control and restrict task requests.

Add two new attributes to the cpu controller to collect "requested"
clamp values. Allow that at each non-root level of the hierarchy.
Keep it simple by not caring now about "effective" values computation
and propagation along the hierarchy.

Update sysctl_sched_uclamp_handler() to use the newly introduced
uclamp_mutex so that we serialize system default updates with cgroup
relate updates.

7caa47151a blkcg: implement blk-iocost
This patchset implements IO cost model based work-conserving
proportional controller.

While io.latency provides the capability to comprehensively prioritize
and protect IOs depending on the cgroups, its protection is binary -
the lowest latency target cgroup which is suffering is protected at
the cost of all others.  In many use cases including stacking multiple
workload containers in a single system, it's necessary to distribute
IO capacity with better granularity.

One challenge of controlling IO resources is the lack of trivially
observable cost metric.  The most common metrics - bandwidth and iops
- can be off by orders of magnitude depending on the device type and
IO pattern.  However, the cost isn't a complete mystery.  Given
several key attributes, we can make fairly reliable predictions on how
expensive a given stream of IOs would be, at least compared to other
IO patterns.

The function which determines the cost of a given IO is the IO cost
model for the device.  This controller distributes IO capacity based
on the costs estimated by such model.  The more accurate the cost
model the better but the controller adapts based on IO completion
latency and as long as the relative costs across differents IO
patterns are consistent and sensible, it'll adapt to the actual
performance of the device.

Currently, the only implemented cost model is a simple linear one with
a few sets of default parameters for different classes of device.
This covers most common devices reasonably well.  All the
infrastructure to tune and add different cost models is already in
place and a later patch will also allow using bpf progs for cost
models.

Please see the top comment in blk-iocost.c and documentation for
more details.

Pull x86 fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
 "A few fixes for x86:

   - Fix a boot regression caused by the recent bootparam sanitizing
     change, which escaped the attention of all people who reviewed that
     code.

   - Address a boot problem on machines with broken E820 tables caused
     by an underflow which ended up placing the trampoline start at
     physical address 0.

   - Handle machines which do not advertise a legacy timer of any form,
     but need calibration of the local APIC timer gracefully by making
     the calibration routine independent from the tick interrupt. Marked
     for stable as well as there seems to be quite some new laptops
     rolled out which expose this.

   - Clear the RDRAND CPUID bit on AMD family 15h and 16h CPUs which are
     affected by broken firmware which does not initialize RDRAND
     correctly after resume. Add a command line parameter to override
     this for machine which either do not use suspend/resume or have a
     fixed BIOS. Unfortunately there is no way to detect this on boot,
     so the only safe decision is to turn it off by default.

   - Prevent RFLAGS from being clobbers in CALL_NOSPEC on 32bit which
     caused fast KVM instruction emulation to break.

   - Explain the Intel CPU model naming convention so that the repeating
     discussions come to an end"

c49a0a8013 x86/CPU/AMD: Clear RDRAND CPUID bit on AMD family 15h/16h
There have been reports of RDRAND issues after resuming from suspend on
some AMD family 15h and family 16h systems. This issue stems from a BIOS
not performing the proper steps during resume to ensure RDRAND continues
to function properly.

RDRAND support is indicated by CPUID Fn00000001_ECX[30]. This bit can be
reset by clearing MSR C001_1004[62]. Any software that checks for RDRAND
support using CPUID, including the kernel, will believe that RDRAND is
not supported.

Update the CPU initialization to clear the RDRAND CPUID bit for any family
15h and 16h processor that supports RDRAND. If it is known that the family
15h or family 16h system does not have an RDRAND resume issue or that the
system will not be placed in suspend, the "rdrand=force" kernel parameter
can be used to stop the clearing of the RDRAND CPUID bit.

Additionally, update the suspend and resume path to save and restore the
MSR C001_1004 value to ensure that the RDRAND CPUID setting remains in
place after resuming from suspend.

Note, that clearing the RDRAND CPUID bit does not prevent a processor
that normally supports the RDRAND instruction from executing it. So any
code that determined the support based on family and model won't #UD.

f139291c71 docs: fs: cifs: convert to ReST and add to admin-guide book
The filenames for cifs documentation is not using the same

rename them to a more appropriate name. Then, manually convert

Most of the conversion here is trivial. The most complex one was
the README file (which was renamed to usage.rst).

a shortcut for virtualization in the kernel, but always virt,
as seen in the virt/ top-level directory.  Fix up the documentation
to match that.

3097834637 x86: Add "nopv" parameter to disable PV extensions
In virtualization environment, PV extensions (drivers, interrupts,
timers, etc) are enabled in the majority of use cases which is the
best option.

However, in some cases (kexec not fully working, benchmarking)
we want to disable PV extensions. We have "xen_nopv" for that purpose
but only for XEN. For a consistent admin experience a common command
line parameter "nopv" set across all PV guest implementations is a
better choice.

There are guest types which just won't work without PV extensions,
like Xen PV, Xen PVH and jailhouse. add a "ignore_nopv" member to
struct hypervisor_x86 set to true for those guest types and call
the detect functions only if nopv is false or ignore_nopv is true.
