Having a function that takes a variable number of unpacked bytes which
it generically calls an "int" is confusing and makes auditing patches
next to impossible.
We only use spi_send_int with the int sizes of 32 and 64 bits. So just
make the spi_send_int function less generic and replace it with the
appropriate two explicit functions, which can now type-check the int
pointer type.
Note that there is still a small weirdness in the u32 function, which
has to convert it to a u64 temporary. This is because of how the packing
API works at the moment, but the weirdness is at least hidden from
callers of sja1105_xfer_u32 now.

Experimental SMB rootfs support
This patch series enables Linux to mount root file systems over the
network by utilizing SMB protocol.
Upstream commit 8eecd1c2e5 ("cifs: Add support for root file
systems") introduced a new CONFIG_CIFS_ROOT option, a virtual device
(Root_CIFS) and a kernel cmdline parameter "cifsroot=" which tells the
kernel to actually mount the root filesystem over a SMB share.
The feature relies on ipconfig to set up the network prior to mounting
the rootfs, so when it is set along with "cifsroot=" parameter:
(1) cifs_root_setup() parses all necessary data out of "cifsroot="
parameter for the init process know how to mount the SMB rootfs
(e.g. SMB server address, mount options).
(2) If DHCP failed for some reason in ipconfig, we keep retrying
forever as we have nowhere to go for NFS or SMB root
filesystems (see PATCH 2/2). Otherwise go to (3).
(3) mount_cifs_root() is then called by mount_root() (ROOT_DEV ==
Root_CIFS), retrieves early parsed data from (1), then attempt to
mount SMB rootfs by CIFSROOT_RETRY_MAX times at most (see PATCH
1/2).
(4) If all attempts failed, fall back to floppy drive, otherwise
continue the boot process with rootfs mounted over a SMB share.
My idea was to keep the same behavior of nfsroot - as it seems to work
for most users so far.

====================
net: introduce alternative names for network interfaces
In the past, there was repeatedly discussed the IFNAMSIZ (16) limit for
netdevice name length. Now when we have PF and VF representors
with port names like "pfXvfY", it became quite common to hit this limit:
0123456789012345
enp131s0f1npf0vf6
enp131s0f1npf0vf22
Udev cannot rename these interfaces out-of-the-box and user needs to
create custom rules to handle them.
Also, udev has multiple schemes of netdev names. From udev code:
* Type of names:
* b<number> - BCMA bus core number
* c<bus_id> - bus id of a grouped CCW or CCW device,
* with all leading zeros stripped [s390]
* o<index>[n<phys_port_name>|d<dev_port>]
* - on-board device index number
* s<slot>[f<function>][n<phys_port_name>|d<dev_port>]
* - hotplug slot index number
* x<MAC> - MAC address
* [P<domain>]p<bus>s<slot>[f<function>][n<phys_port_name>|d<dev_port>]
* - PCI geographical location
* [P<domain>]p<bus>s<slot>[f<function>][u<port>][..][c<config>][i<interface>]
* - USB port number chain
* v<slot> - VIO slot number (IBM PowerVM)
* a<vendor><model>i<instance> - Platform bus ACPI instance id
* i<addr>n<phys_port_name> - Netdevsim bus address and port name
One device can be often renamed by multiple patterns at the
same time (e.g. pci address/mac).
This patchset introduces alternative names for network interfaces.
Main goal is to:
1) Overcome the IFNAMSIZ limitation (altname limitation is 128 bytes)
2) Allow to have multiple names at the same time (multiple udev patterns)
3) Allow to use alternative names as handle for commands
The patchset introduces two new commands to add/delete list of properties.
Currently only alternative names are implemented but the ifrastructure
could be easily extended later on. This is very similar to the list of vlan
and tunnels being added/deleted to/from bridge ports.

Merge hugepage allocation updates from David Rientjes:
"We (mostly Linus, Andrea, and myself) have been discussing offlist how
to implement a sane default allocation strategy for hugepages on NUMA
platforms.
With these reverts in place, the page allocator will happily allocate
a remote hugepage immediately rather than try to make a local hugepage
available. This incurs a substantial performance degradation when
memory compaction would have otherwise made a local hugepage
available.
This series reverts those reverts and attempts to propose a more sane
default allocation strategy specifically for hugepages. Andrea
acknowledges this is likely to fix the swap storms that he originally
reported that resulted in the patches that removed __GFP_THISNODE from
hugepage allocations.
The immediate goal is to return 5.3 to the behavior the kernel has
implemented over the past several years so that remote hugepages are
not immediately allocated when local hugepages could have been made
available because the increased access latency is untenable.
The next goal is to introduce a sane default allocation strategy for
hugepages allocations in general regardless of the configuration of
the system so that we prevent thrashing of local memory when
compaction is unlikely to succeed and can prefer remote hugepages over
remote native pages when the local node is low on memory."
Note on timing: this reverts the hugepage VM behavior changes that got
introduced fairly late in the 5.3 cycle, and that fixed a huge
performance regression for certain loads that had been around since
4.18.
Andrea had this note:
"The regression of 4.18 was that it was taking hours to start a VM
where 3.10 was only taking a few seconds, I reported all the details
on lkml when it was finally tracked down in August 2018.
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20180820032640.9896-2-aarcange@redhat.com/
__GFP_THISNODE in MADV_HUGEPAGE made the above enterprise vfio
workload degrade like in the "current upstream" above. And it still
would have been that bad as above until 5.3-rc5"
where the bad behavior ends up happening as you fill up a local node,
and without that change, you'd get into the nasty swap storm behavior
due to compaction working overtime to make room for more memory on the
nodes.
As a result 5.3 got the two performance fix reverts in rc5.
However, David Rientjes then noted that those performance fixes in turn
regressed performance for other loads - although not quite to the same
degree. He suggested reverting the reverts and instead replacing them
with two small changes to how hugepage allocations are done (patch
descriptions rephrased by me):
- "avoid expensive reclaim when compaction may not succeed": just admit
that the allocation failed when you're trying to allocate a huge-page
and compaction wasn't successful.
- "allow hugepage fallback to remote nodes when madvised": when that
node-local huge-page allocation failed, retry without forcing the
local node.
but by then I judged it too late to replace the fixes for a 5.3 release.
So 5.3 was released with behavior that harked back to the pre-4.18 logic.
But now we're in the merge window for 5.4, and we can see if this
alternate model fixes not just the horrendous swap storm behavior, but
also restores the performance regression that the late reverts caused.
Fingers crossed.
* emailed patches from David Rientjes <rientjes@google.com>:
mm, page_alloc: allow hugepage fallback to remote nodes when madvised
mm, page_alloc: avoid expensive reclaim when compaction may not succeed
Revert "Revert "Revert "mm, thp: consolidate THP gfp handling into alloc_hugepage_direct_gfpmask""
Revert "Revert "mm, thp: restore node-local hugepage allocations""
For systems configured to always try hard to allocate transparent
hugepages (thp defrag setting of "always") or for memory that has been
explicitly madvised to MADV_HUGEPAGE, it is often better to fallback to
remote memory to allocate the hugepage if the local allocation fails
first.
The point is to allow the initial call to __alloc_pages_node() to attempt
to defragment local memory to make a hugepage available, if possible,
rather than immediately fallback to remote memory. Local hugepages will
always have a better access latency than remote (huge)pages, so an attempt
to make a hugepage available locally is always preferred.
If memory compaction cannot be successful locally, however, it is likely
better to fallback to remote memory. This could take on two forms: either
allow immediate fallback to remote memory or do per-zone watermark checks.
It would be possible to fallback only when per-zone watermarks fail for
order-0 memory, since that would require local reclaim for all subsequent
faults so remote huge allocation is likely better than thrashing the local
zone for large workloads.
In this case, it is assumed that because the system is configured to try
hard to allocate hugepages or the vma is advised to explicitly want to try
hard for hugepages that remote allocation is better when local allocation
and memory compaction have both failed.

Memory compaction has a couple significant drawbacks as the allocation
order increases, specifically:
- isolate_freepages() is responsible for finding free pages to use as
migration targets and is implemented as a linear scan of memory
starting at the end of a zone,
- failing order-0 watermark checks in memory compaction does not account
for how far below the watermarks the zone actually is: to enable
migration, there must be *some* free memory available. Per the above,
watermarks are not always suffficient if isolate_freepages() cannot
find the free memory but it could require hundreds of MBs of reclaim to
even reach this threshold (read: potentially very expensive reclaim with
no indication compaction can be successful), and
- if compaction at this order has failed recently so that it does not even
run as a result of deferred compaction, looping through reclaim can often
be pointless.
For hugepage allocations, these are quite substantial drawbacks because
these are very high order allocations (order-9 on x86) and falling back to
doing reclaim can potentially be *very* expensive without any indication
that compaction would even be successful.
Reclaim itself is unlikely to free entire pageblocks and certainly no
reliance should be put on it to do so in isolation (recall lumpy reclaim).
This means we should avoid reclaim and simply fail hugepage allocation if
compaction is deferred.
It is also not helpful to thrash a zone by doing excessive reclaim if
compaction may not be able to access that memory. If order-0 watermarks
fail and the allocation order is sufficiently large, it is likely better
to fail the allocation rather than thrashing the zone.

This reverts commit 92717d429b.
Since commit a8282608c8 ("Revert "mm, thp: restore node-local hugepage
allocations"") is reverted in this series, it is better to restore the
previous 5.2 behavior between the thp allocation and the page allocator
rather than to attempt any consolidation or cleanup for a policy that is
now reverted. It's less risky during an rc cycle and subsequent patches
in this series further modify the same policy that the pre-5.3 behavior
implements.
Consolidation and cleanup can be done subsequent to a sane default page
allocation strategy, so this patch reverts a cleanup done on a strategy
that is now reverted and thus is the least risky option.

This reverts commit a8282608c8.
The commit references the original intended semantic for MADV_HUGEPAGE
which has subsequently taken on three unique purposes:
- enables or disables thp for a range of memory depending on the system's
config (is thp "enabled" set to "always" or "madvise"),
- determines the synchronous compaction behavior for thp allocations at
fault (is thp "defrag" set to "always", "defer+madvise", or "madvise"),
and
- reverts a previous MADV_NOHUGEPAGE (there is no madvise mode to only
clear previous hugepage advice).
These are the three purposes that currently exist in 5.2 and over the
past several years that userspace has been written around. Adding a
NUMA locality preference adds a fourth dimension to an already conflated
advice mode.
Based on the semantic that MADV_HUGEPAGE has provided over the past
several years, there exist workloads that use the tunable based on these
principles: specifically that the allocation should attempt to
defragment a local node before falling back. It is agreed that remote
hugepages typically (but not always) have a better access latency than
remote native pages, although on Naples this is at parity for
intersocket.
The revert commit that this patch reverts allows hugepage allocation to
immediately allocate remotely when local memory is fragmented. This is
contrary to the semantic of MADV_HUGEPAGE over the past several years:
that is, memory compaction should be attempted locally before falling
back.
The performance degradation of remote hugepages over local hugepages on
Rome, for example, is 53.5% increased access latency. For this reason,
the goal is to revert back to the 5.2 and previous behavior that would
attempt local defragmentation before falling back. With the patch that
is reverted by this patch, we see performance degradations at the tail
because the allocator happily allocates the remote hugepage rather than
even attempting to make a local hugepage available.
zone_reclaim_mode is not a solution to this problem since it does not
only impact hugepage allocations but rather changes the memory
allocation strategy for *all* page allocations.

An assortment of fixes that were either missed by me, or didn't arrive quite in
time for the first v5.4 pull.
Most notable is a fix for an issue with tlbie (broadcast TLB invalidation) on
Power9, when using the Radix MMU. The tlbie can race with an mtpid (move to PID
register, essentially MMU context switch) on another thread of the core, which
can cause stores to continue to go to a page after it's unmapped.
A fix in our KVM code to add a missing barrier, the lack of which has been
observed to cause missed IPIs and subsequently stuck CPUs in the host.
A change to the way we initialise PCR (Processor Compatibility Register) to make
it forward compatible with future CPUs.
On some older PowerVM systems our H_BLOCK_REMOVE support could oops, fix it to
detect such systems and fallback to the old invalidation method.
A fix for an oops seen on some machines when using KASAN on 32-bit.
A handful of other minor fixes, and two new selftests.

Pull kernel lockdown mode from James Morris:
"This is the latest iteration of the kernel lockdown patchset, from
Matthew Garrett, David Howells and others.
From the original description:
This patchset introduces an optional kernel lockdown feature,
intended to strengthen the boundary between UID 0 and the kernel.
When enabled, various pieces of kernel functionality are restricted.
Applications that rely on low-level access to either hardware or the
kernel may cease working as a result - therefore this should not be
enabled without appropriate evaluation beforehand.
The majority of mainstream distributions have been carrying variants
of this patchset for many years now, so there's value in providing a
doesn't meet every distribution requirement, but gets us much closer
to not requiring external patches.
There are two major changes since this was last proposed for mainline:
- Separating lockdown from EFI secure boot. Background discussion is
covered here: https://lwn.net/Articles/751061/
- Implementation as an LSM, with a default stackable lockdown LSM
module. This allows the lockdown feature to be policy-driven,
rather than encoding an implicit policy within the mechanism.
The new locked_down LSM hook is provided to allow LSMs to make a
policy decision around whether kernel functionality that would allow
tampering with or examining the runtime state of the kernel should be
permitted.
The included lockdown LSM provides an implementation with a simple
policy intended for general purpose use. This policy provides a coarse
level of granularity, controllable via the kernel command line:
lockdown={integrity|confidentiality}
Enable the kernel lockdown feature. If set to integrity, kernel features
that allow userland to modify the running kernel are disabled. If set to
confidentiality, kernel features that allow userland to extract
confidential information from the kernel are also disabled.
This may also be controlled via /sys/kernel/security/lockdown and
overriden by kernel configuration.
New or existing LSMs may implement finer-grained controls of the
lockdown features. Refer to the lockdown_reason documentation in
include/linux/security.h for details.
The lockdown feature has had signficant design feedback and review
across many subsystems. This code has been in linux-next for some
weeks, with a few fixes applied along the way.
Stephen Rothwell noted that commit 9d1f8be5cf ("bpf: Restrict bpf
when kernel lockdown is in confidentiality mode") is missing a
Signed-off-by from its author. Matthew responded that he is providing
this under category (c) of the DCO"

"The major feature in this time is IMA support for measuring and
appraising appended file signatures. In addition are a couple of bug
fixes and code cleanup to use struct_size().
In addition to the PE/COFF and IMA xattr signatures, the kexec kernel
image may be signed with an appended signature, using the same
scripts/sign-file tool that is used to sign kernel modules.
Similarly, the initramfs may contain an appended signature.
This contained a lot of refactoring of the existing appended signature
verification code, so that IMA could retain the existing framework of
calculating the file hash once, storing it in the IMA measurement list
and extending the TPM, verifying the file's integrity based on a file
hash or signature (eg. xattrs), and adding an audit record containing
the file hash, all based on policy. (The IMA support for appended
signatures patch set was posted and reviewed 11 times.)
The support for appended signature paves the way for adding other
signature verification methods, such as fs-verity, based on a single
system-wide policy. The file hash used for verifying the signature and
the signature, itself, can be included in the IMA measurement list"

- DT improvements: in the FU540 SoC DT files, improve U-Boot
compatibility by adding an "ethernet0" alias, drop an unnecessary
property from the DT files, and add support for the PWM device
- KVM preparation: add a KVM-related macro for future RISC-V KVM
support, and export some symbols required to build KVM support as
modules
- defconfig additions: build more drivers by default for QEMU
configurations

"Some additional RISC-V updates.
This includes one significant fix:
- Prevent interrupts from being unconditionally re-enabled during
exception handling if they were disabled in the context in which
the exception occurred
Also a few other fixes:
- Fix a build error when sparse memory support is manually enabled
- Prevent CPUs beyond CONFIG_NR_CPUS from being enabled in early boot
And a few minor improvements:
- DT improvements: in the FU540 SoC DT files, improve U-Boot
compatibility by adding an "ethernet0" alias, drop an unnecessary
