Steven reported a warning caused by not holding module_mutex or
rcu_read_lock_sched: his backtrace was corrupted but a quick audit
found this possible cause. It's wrong anyway...

For historical reasons (i.e. pre-git) the exception table stuff was
buried in the middle of the module.h file. I noticed this while
doing an audit for needless includes of module.h and found core
kernel files (both arch specific and arch independent) were just
including module.h for this.
The converse is also true, in that conventional drivers, be they
for filesystems or actual hardware peripherals or similar, do not
normally care about the exception tables.
Here we fork the exception table content out of module.h into a
new file called extable.h -- and temporarily include it into the
module.h itself.
Then we will work our way across the arch independent and arch
specific files needing just exception table content, and move
them off module.h and onto extable.h
Once that is done, we can remove the extable.h from module.h
and in doing it like this, we avoid introducing build failures
into the git history.
The gain here is that module.h gets a bit smaller, across all
modular drivers that we build for allmodconfig. Also the core
files that only need exception table stuff don't have an include
of module.h that brings in lots of extra stuff and just looks
generally out of place.

Blacklisting a module in linux has long been a problem. The current
procedure is to use rd.blacklist=module_name, however, that doesn't
cover the case after the initramfs and before a boot prompt (where one
is supposed to use /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf to blacklist
runtime loading). Using rd.shell to get an early prompt is hit-or-miss,
and doesn't cover all situations AFAICT.
This patch adds this functionality of permanently blacklisting a module
by its name via the kernel parameter module_blacklist=module_name.
[v2]: Rusty, use core_param() instead of __setup() which simplifies
things.
[v3]: Rusty, undo wreckage from strsep()
[v4]: Rusty, simpler version of blacklisted()

When running with lockdep enabled, I triggered the WARN_ON() in the
module code that asserts when module_mutex or rcu_read_lock_sched are
not held. The issue I have is that this can also be called from the
dump_stack() code, causing us to enter an infinite loop...

"This branch also contains core changes. I've come to the conclusion
that from 4.9 and forward, I'll be doing just a single branch. We
often have dependencies between core and drivers, and it's hard to
always split them up appropriately without pulling core into drivers
when that happens.
That said, this contains:
- separate secure erase type for the core block layer, from
Christoph.
- set of discard fixes, from Christoph.
- bio shrinking fixes from Christoph, as a followup up to the
op/flags change in the core branch.
- map and append request fixes from Christoph.
- NVMeF (NVMe over Fabrics) code from Christoph. This is pretty
exciting!
- nvme-loop fixes from Arnd.
- removal of ->driverfs_dev from Dan, after providing a
device_add_disk() helper.
- bcache fixes from Bhaktipriya and Yijing.
- cdrom subchannel read fix from Vchannaiah.
- set of lightnvm updates from Wenwei, Matias, Johannes, and Javier.
- set of drbd updates and fixes from Fabian, Lars, and Philipp.
- mg_disk error path fix from Bart.
- user notification for failed device add for loop, from Minfei.
- NVMe in general:
+ NVMe delay quirk from Guilherme.
+ SR-IOV support and command retry limits from Keith.
+ fix for memory-less NUMA node from Masayoshi.
+ use UINT_MAX for discard sectors, from Minfei.
+ cancel IO fixes from Ming.

"There are a couple of new things for s390 with this merge request:
- a new scheduling domain "drawer" is added to reflect the unusual
topology found on z13 machines. Performance tests showed up to 8
percent gain with the additional domain.
- the new crc-32 checksum crypto module uses the vector-galois-field
multiply and sum SIMD instruction to speed up crc-32 and crc-32c.
- proper __ro_after_init support, this requires RO_AFTER_INIT_DATA in
the generic vmlinux.lds linker script definitions.
- kcov instrumentation support. A prerequisite for that is the
inline assembly basic block cleanup, which is the reason for the
net/iucv/iucv.c change.
- support for 2GB pages is added to the hugetlbfs backend.
Then there are two removals:
- the oprofile hardware sampling support is dead code and is removed.
The oprofile user space uses the perf interface nowadays.
- the ETR clock synchronization is removed, this has been superseeded
be the STP clock synchronization. And it always has been
"interesting" code..

- Switching of MSR_TSC_AUX in SVM was thought to cause a host
misbehavior, but it was later cleared of those doubts and the patch
moved code to a hot path, so we reverted it. That patch also needed
a fix for 32 bit builds and both were reverted in one go.
- Al Viro noticed that a fix for a leak in an error path was not valid
with the given API and provided a better fix, so the original patch
was reverted.
Then there are two VMX fixes that move code around because VMCS was not
accessed between vcpu_load() and vcpu_put(), a simple ARM VHE fix, and
two one-liners for PML and MTRR.

Merge tag 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/virt/kvm/kvm
Pull KVM leftovers from Radim Krčmář:
"This is a combination of two pull requests for 4.7-rc8 that were not
merged due to looking hairy. I have changed the tag message to focus
on circumstances of contained reverts as they were likely the reason
behind rejection.
This merge introduces three patches that are later reverted,
- Switching of MSR_TSC_AUX in SVM was thought to cause a host
misbehavior, but it was later cleared of those doubts and the patch
moved code to a hot path, so we reverted it. That patch also
needed a fix for 32 bit builds and both were reverted in one go.
- Al Viro noticed that a fix for a leak in an error path was not
valid with the given API and provided a better fix, so the original
patch was reverted.
Then there are two VMX fixes that move code around because VMCS was
not accessed between vcpu_load() and vcpu_put(), a simple ARM VHE fix,
and two one-liners for PML and MTRR"

Pull perf updates from Ingo Molnar:
"With over 300 commits it's been a busy cycle - with most of the work
concentrated on the tooling side (as it should).
The main kernel side enhancements were:
- Add per event callchain limit: Recently we introduced a sysctl to
tune the max-stack for all events for which callchains were
requested:
$ sysctl kernel.perf_event_max_stack
kernel.perf_event_max_stack = 127
Now this patch introduces a way to configure this per event, i.e.
this becomes possible:
$ perf record -e sched:*/max-stack=2/ -e block:*/max-stack=10/ -a
allowing finer tuning of how much buffer space callchains use.
This uses an u16 from the reserved space at the end, leaving
another u16 for future use.
There has been interest in even finer tuning, namely to control the
max stack for kernel and userspace callchains separately. Further
discussion is needed, we may for instance use the remaining u16 for
that and when it is present, assume that the sample_max_stack
introduced in this patch applies for the kernel, and the u16 left
is used for limiting the userspace callchain (Arnaldo Carvalho de
Melo)
- Optimize AUX event (hardware assisted side-band event) delivery
(Kan Liang)
- Rework Intel family name macro usage (this is partially x86 arch
work) (Dave Hansen)
- Refine and fix Intel LBR support (David Carrillo-Cisneros)
- Add support for Intel 'TopDown' events (Andi Kleen)
- Intel uncore PMU driver fixes and enhancements (Kan Liang)
- ... other misc changes.
Here's an incomplete list of the tooling enhancements (but there's
much more, see the shortlog and the git log for details):
- Support cross unwinding, i.e. collecting '--call-graph dwarf'
perf.data files in one machine and then doing analysis in another
machine of a different hardware architecture. This enables, for
instance, to do:
$ perf record -a --call-graph dwarf
on a x86-32 or aarch64 system and then do 'perf report' on it on a
x86_64 workstation (He Kuang)
- Allow reading from a backward ring buffer (one setup via
sys_perf_event_open() with perf_event_attr.write_backward = 1)
(Wang Nan)
- Finish merging initial SDT (Statically Defined Traces) support, see
cset comments for details about how it all works (Masami Hiramatsu)
- Support attaching eBPF programs to tracepoints (Wang Nan)
- Add demangling of symbols in programs written in the Rust language
(David Tolnay)
- Add support for tracepoints in the python binding, including an
example, that sets up and parses sched:sched_switch events,
tools/perf/python/tracepoint.py (Jiri Olsa)
- Introduce --stdio-color to set up the color output mode selection
in 'annotate' and 'report', allowing emit color escape sequences
when redirecting the output of these tools (Arnaldo Carvalho de
Melo)
- Add 'callindent' option to 'perf script -F', to indent the Intel PT
call stack, making this output more ftrace-like (Adrian Hunter,
Andi Kleen)
- Allow dumping the object files generated by llvm when processing
eBPF scriptlet events (Wang Nan)
- Add stackcollapse.py script to help generating flame graphs (Paolo
Bonzini)
- Add --ldlat option to 'perf mem' to specify load latency for loads
event (e.g. cpu/mem-loads/ ) (Jiri Olsa)
- Tooling support for Intel TopDown counters, recently added to the
kernel (Andi Kleen)"

This reverts commit e083a21fca.
Not needed at all, tools/perf/util/perf_regs.h, included via:
#include "perf_regs.h"
Should have a definition for PERF_REGS_MAX, and since this is dependent
on HAVE_PERF_REGS_SUPPORT, fixes the build on powerpc, noticed by trying
to cross compile this from ubuntu16.04 with a locally build libz &
elfutils pair, since those are not available in multilib packages.

of nasty outcomes when inodes are transitioned from the unlinked state

problems, and it can manifest as mainly hangs, but also file system
corruption. The patches have been tested for literally many weeks, with a
very gruelling test, so I have a high level of confidence.

support and cleanup patches related to that.
- Ben Marzinski contributed 2 patches with regard to a recreatable
problem when gfs2 tries to write a page to a file that is being

Note that Ben had to export vfs function __block_write_full_page to get
this to work properly. It's been posted a long time and he talked to
various VFS people about it, and nobody seemed to mind.
- I contributed 3 patches. (1) The first one fixes a memory corruptor:
a race in which one process can overwrite the gl_object pointer set by
another process, causing kernel panic and other symptoms. (2) The second
patch fixes another race that resulted in a false-positive BUG_ON. This
occurred when resource group reservations were freed by one process
while another process was trying to grab a new reservation in the same
resource group. (3) The third patch fixes a problem with doing journal
replay when the journals are not all the same size.
