      x86/tsc: Use CPUID.0x16 to calculate missing crystal frequency · 604dc917
      Daniel Drake authored
      native_calibrate_tsc() had a data mapping Intel CPU families
      and crystal clock speed, but hardcoded tables are not ideal, and this
      approach was already problematic at least in the Skylake X case, as
      seen in commit:
      
        b5112030 ("x86/tsc: Fix erroneous TSC rate on Skylake Xeon")
      
      By examining CPUID data from http://instlatx64.atw.hu/ and units
      in the lab, we have found that 3 different scenarios need to be dealt
      with, and we can eliminate most of the hardcoded data using an approach a
      little more advanced than before:
      
       1. ApolloLake, GeminiLake, CannonLake (and presumably all new chipsets
          from this point) report the crystal frequency directly via CPUID.0x15.
          That's definitive data that we can rely upon.
      
       2. Skylake, Kabylake and all variants of those two chipsets report a
          crystal frequency of zero, however we can calculate the crystal clock
          speed by condidering data from CPUID.0x16.
      
          This method correctly distinguishes between the two crystal clock
          frequencies present on different Skylake X variants that caused
          headaches before.
      
          As the calculations do not quite match the previously-hardcoded values
          in some cases (e.g. 23913043Hz instead of 24MHz), TSC refinement is
          enabled on all platforms where we had to calculate the crystal
          frequency in this way.
      
       3. Denverton (GOLDMONT_X) reports a crystal frequency of zero and does
          not support CPUID.0x16, so we leave this entry hardcoded.

      Linus Torvalds authored
      Pull stack trace updates from Ingo Molnar:
       "So Thomas looked at the stacktrace code recently and noticed a few
        weirdnesses, and we all know how such stories of crummy kernel code
        meeting German engineering perfection end: a 45-patch series to clean
        it all up! :-)
      
        Here's the changes in Thomas's words:
      
         'Struct stack_trace is a sinkhole for input and output parameters
          which is largely pointless for most usage sites. In fact if embedded
          into other data structures it creates indirections and extra storage
          overhead for no benefit.
      
          Looking at all usage sites makes it clear that they just require an
          interface which is based on a storage array. That array is either on
          stack, global or embedded into some other data structure.
      
          Some of the stack depot usage sites are outright wrong, but
          fortunately the wrongness just causes more stack being used for
          nothing and does not have functional impact.
      
          Another oddity is the inconsistent termination of the stack trace
          with ULONG_MAX. It's pointless as the number of entries is what
          determines the length of the stored trace. In fact quite some call
          sites remove the ULONG_MAX marker afterwards with or without nasty
          comments about it. Not all architectures do that and those which do,
          do it inconsistenly either conditional on nr_entries == 0 or
          unconditionally.
      
          The following series cleans that up by:
      
            1) Removing the ULONG_MAX termination in the architecture code
      
            2) Removing the ULONG_MAX fixups at the call sites
      
            3) Providing plain storage array based interfaces for stacktrace
               and stackdepot.
      
            4) Cleaning up the mess at the callsites including some related
               cleanups.
      
            5) Removing the struct stack_trace based interfaces
      
          This is not changing the struct stack_trace interfaces at the
          architecture level, but it removes the exposure to the generic
          code'"

      Pull objtool updates from Ingo Molnar:
       "This is a series from Peter Zijlstra that adds x86 build-time uaccess
        validation of SMAP to objtool, which will detect and warn about the
        following uaccess API usage bugs and weirdnesses:
      
         - call to %s() with UACCESS enabled
         - return with UACCESS enabled
         - return with UACCESS disabled from a UACCESS-safe function
         - recursive UACCESS enable
         - redundant UACCESS disable
         - UACCESS-safe disables UACCESS
      
        As it turns out not leaking uaccess permissions outside the intended
        uaccess functionality is hard when the interfaces are complex and when
        such bugs are mostly dormant.
      
        As a bonus we now also check the DF flag. We had at least one
        high-profile bug in that area in the early days of Linux, and the
        checking is fairly simple. The checks performed and warnings emitted
        are:
      
         - call to %s() with DF set
         - return with DF set
         - return with modified stack frame
         - recursive STD
         - redundant CLD
      
        It's all x86-only for now, but later on this can also be used for PAN
        on ARM and objtool is fairly cross-platform in principle.
      
        While all warnings emitted by this new checking facility that got
        reported to us were fixed, there might be GCC version dependent
        warnings that were not reported yet - which we'll address, should they

      Linus Torvalds authored
      Pull unified TLB flushing from Ingo Molnar:
       "This contains the generic mmu_gather feature from Peter Zijlstra,
        which is an all-arch unification of TLB flushing APIs, via the
        following (broad) steps:
      
         - enhance the <asm-generic/tlb.h> APIs to cover more arch details
      
         - convert most TLB flushing arch implementations to the generic
           <asm-generic/tlb.h> APIs.
      
         - remove leftovers of per arch implementations
      
        After this series every single architecture makes use of the unified
        TLB flushing APIs"

      tty: rocket: fix incorrect forward declaration of 'rp_init()' · 423ea325
      Linus Torvalds authored
      Make the forward declaration actually match the real function
      definition, something that previous versions of gcc had just ignored.
      
      This is another patch to fix new warnings from gcc-9 before I start the
      merge window pulls.  I don't want to miss legitimate new warnings just
      because my system update brought a new compiler with new warnings.

      ubsan: Remove vla bound checks. · 9a91ad92
      Andrey Ryabinin authored
      The kernel the kernel is built with -Wvla for some time, so is not
      supposed to have any variable length arrays.  Remove vla bounds checking
      from ubsan since it's useless now.

      ubsan: Fix nasty -Wbuiltin-declaration-mismatch GCC-9 warnings · f0996bc2
      Andrey Ryabinin authored
      Building lib/ubsan.c with gcc-9 results in a ton of nasty warnings like
      this one:
      
          lib/ubsan.c warning: conflicting types for built-in function
               ‘__ubsan_handle_negate_overflow’; expected ‘void(void *, void *)’ [-Wbuiltin-declaration-mismatch]
      
      The kernel's declarations of __ubsan_handle_*() often uses 'unsigned
      long' types in parameters while GCC these parameters as 'void *' types,
      hence the mismatch.
      
      Fix this by using 'void *' to match GCC's declarations.
