Merge tag 'kbuild-thinar-v4.13' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/masahiroy/linux-kbuild Pull Kbuild thin archives updates from Masahiro Yamada: "Thin archives migration by Nicholas Piggin. THIN_ARCHIVES has been available for a while as an optional feature only for PowerPC architecture, but we do not need two different intermediate-artifact schemes. Using thin archives instead of conventional incremental linking has various advantages: - save disk space for builds - speed-up building a little - fix some link issues (for example, allyesconfig on ARM) due to more flexibility for the final linking - work better with dead code elimination we are planning As discussed before, this migration has been done unconditionally so that any problems caused by this will show up with "git bisect". With testing with 0-day and linux-next, some architectures actually showed up problems, but they were trivial and all fixed now" * tag 'kbuild-thinar-v4.13' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/masahiroy/linux-kbuild: tile: remove unneeded extra-y in Makefile kbuild: thin archives make default for all archs x86/um: thin archives build fix tile: thin archives fix linking ia64: thin archives fix linking sh: thin archives fix linking kbuild: handle libs-y archives separately from built-in.o archives kbuild: thin archives use P option to ar kbuild: thin archives final link close --whole-archives option ia64: remove unneeded extra-y in Makefile.gate tile: fix dependency and .*.cmd inclusion for incremental build sparc64: Use indirect calls in hamming weight stubs

Michael Ellerman reported that commit 8c6657cb ("Switch flock copyin/copyout primitives to copy_{from,to}_user()") broke his networking on a bunch of PPC machines (64-bit kernel, 32-bit userspace). The reason is a brown-paper bug by that commit, which had the arguments to "copy_flock_fields()" in the wrong order, breaking the compat handling for file locking. Apparently very few people run 32-bit user space on x86 any more, so the PPC people got the honor of noticing this "feature". Michael also sent a minimal diff that just changed the order of the arguments in that macro. This is not that minimal diff. This not only changes the order of the arguments in the macro, it also changes them to be pointers (to be consistent with all the other uses of those pointers), and makes the functions that do all of this also have the proper "const" attribution on the source pointers in order to make issues like that (using the source as a destination) be really obvious.

Pull GPIO updates from Linus Walleij: "This is the bulk of GPIO changes for the v4.13 series. Some administrativa: I have a slew of 8250 serial patches and the new IOT2040 serial+GPIO driver coming in through this tree, along with a whole bunch of Exar 8250 fixes. These are ACKed by Greg and also hit drivers/platform/* where they are ACKed by Andy Shevchenko. Speaking about drivers/platform/* there is also a bunch of ACPI stuff coming through that route, again ACKed by Andy. The MCP23S08 changes are coming in here as well. You already have the commits in your tree, so this is just a result of sharing an immutable branch between pin control and GPIO. Core: - Export add/remove for lookup tables so that modules can export GPIO descriptor tables. - Handle GPIO sleep states: it is now possible to flag that a GPIO line may loose its state during suspend/resume of the system to save power. This is used in the Wolfson Micro Arizona driver. - ACPI-based GPIO was tightened up a lot around the edges. - Use bitmap_fill() to speed up a loop. New drivers: - Exar XRA1403 SPI-based GPIO. - MVEBU driver now supports Armada 7K and 8K. - LP87565 PMIC GPIO. - Renesas R-CAR R8A7743 (RZ/G1M). - The new IOT2040 8250 serial/GPIO also comes in through this changeset. Substantial driver changes: - Seriously fix the Exar 8250 GPIO portions to work. - The MCP23S08 was moved out to a pin control driver. - Convert MEVEBU to use regmap for register access. - Drop Vulcan support from the Broadcom driver. - Serious cleanup and improvement of the mockup driver, giving us a better test coverage.

Pull libnvdimm updates from Dan Williams: "libnvdimm updates for the latest ACPI and UEFI specifications. This pull request also includes new 'struct dax_operations' enabling to undo the abuse of copy_user_nocache() for copy operations to pmem. The dax work originally missed 4.12 to address concerns raised by Al. Summary: - Introduce the _flushcache() family of memory copy helpers and use them for persistent memory write operations on x86. The _flushcache() semantic indicates that the cache is either bypassed for the copy operation (movnt) or any lines dirtied by the copy operation are written back (clwb, clflushopt, or clflush). - Extend dax_operations with ->copy_from_iter() and ->flush() operations. These operations and other infrastructure updates allow all persistent memory specific dax functionality to be pushed into libnvdimm and the pmem driver directly. It also allows dax-specific sysfs attributes to be linked to a host device, for example: /sys/block/pmem0/dax/write_cache - Add support for the new NVDIMM platform/firmware mechanisms introduced in ACPI 6.2 and UEFI 2.7. This support includes the v1.2 namespace label format, extensions to the address-range-scrub command set, new error injection commands, and a new BTT (block-translation-table) layout. These updates support inter-OS and pre-OS compatibility. - Fix a longstanding memory corruption bug in nfit_test. - Make the pmem and nvdimm-region 'badblocks' sysfs files poll(2) capable. - Miscellaneous fixes and small updates across libnvdimm and the nfit driver.

Pull misc compat stuff updates from Al Viro: "This part is basically untangling various compat stuff. Compat syscalls moved to their native counterparts, getting rid of quite a bit of double-copying and/or set_fs() uses. A lot of field-by-field copyin/copyout killed off. - kernel/compat.c is much closer to containing just the copyin/copyout of compat structs.

movable_node_is_enabled is defined in memblock proper while it is initialized from the memory hotplug proper. This is quite messy and it makes a dependency between the two so move movable_node along with the helper functions to memory_hotplug. To make it more entertaining the kernel parameter is ignored unless CONFIG_HAVE_MEMBLOCK_NODE_MAP=y because we do not have the node information for each memblock otherwise. So let's warn when the option is disabled.

Commit 20b2f52b ("numa: add CONFIG_MOVABLE_NODE for movable-dedicated node") has introduced CONFIG_MOVABLE_NODE without a good explanation on why it is actually useful. It makes a lot of sense to make movable node semantic opt in but we already have that because the feature has to be explicitly enabled on the kernel command line. A config option on top only makes the configuration space larger without a good reason. It also adds an additional ifdefery that pollutes the code. Just drop the config option and make it de-facto always enabled. This shouldn't introduce any change to the semantic.

Patch series "remove CONFIG_MOVABLE_NODE". I am continuing to clean up the memory hotplug code and CONFIG_MOVABLE_NODE seems dubious at best. The following two patches simply removes the flag and make it de-facto always enabled. The current semantic of the config option is twofold 1) it automatically binds hotplugable nodes to have memory in zone_movable by default when movable_node is enabled 2) forbids memory hotplug to online all the memory as movable when !CONFIG_MOVABLE_NODE. The later restriction is quite dubious because there is no clear cut of how much normal memory do we need for a reasonable system operation. A single memory block which is sufficient to allow further movable onlines is far from sufficient (e.g a node with >2GB and memblocks 128MB will fill up this zone with struct pages leaving nothing for other allocations). Removing the config option will not only reduce the configuration space it also removes quite some code. The semantic of the movable_node command line parameter is preserved. The first patch removes the restriction mentioned above and the second one simply removes all the CONFIG_MOVABLE_NODE related stuff. The last patch moves movable_node flag handling to memory_hotplug proper where it belongs. [1] http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170524122411.25212-1-mhocko@kernel.org This patch (of 3): Commit 74d42d8f ("memory_hotplug: ensure every online node has NORMAL memory") has introduced a restriction that every numa node has to have at least some memory in !movable zones before a first movable memory can be onlined if !CONFIG_MOVABLE_NODE. Likewise can_offline_normal checks the amount of normal memory in !movable zones and it disallows to offline memory if there is no normal memory left with a justification that "memory-management acts bad when we have nodes which is online but don't have any normal memory". While it is true that not having _any_ memory for kernel allocations on a NUMA node is far from great and such a node would be quite subotimal because all kernel allocations will have to fallback to another NUMA node but there is no reason to disallow such a configuration in principle. Besides that there is not really a big difference to have one memblock for ZONE_NORMAL available or none. With 128MB size memblocks the system might trash on the kernel allocations requests anyway. It is really hard to draw a line on how much normal memory is really sufficient so we have to rely on administrator to configure system sanely therefore drop the artificial restriction and remove can_offline_normal and can_online_high_movable altogether.

Patch series "mm: per-lruvec slab stats" Josef is working on a new approach to balancing slab caches and the page cache. For this to work, he needs slab cache statistics on the lruvec level. These patches implement that by adding infrastructure that allows updating and reading generic VM stat items per lruvec, then switches some existing VM accounting sites, including the slab accounting ones, to this new cgroup-aware API. I'll follow up with more patches on this, because there is actually substantial simplification that can be done to the memory controller when we replace private memcg accounting with making the existing VM accounting sites cgroup-aware. But this is enough for Josef to base his slab reclaim work on, so here goes. This patch (of 5): To re-implement slab cache vs. page cache balancing, we'll need the slab counters at the lruvec level, which, ever since lru reclaim was moved from the zone to the node, is the intersection of the node, not the zone, and the memcg. We could retain the per-zone counters for when the page allocator dumps its memory information on failures, and have counters on both levels - which on all but NUMA node 0 is usually redundant. But let's keep it simple for now and just move them. If anybody complains we can restore the per-zone counters.

To reduce the lock contention of swap_info_struct->lock when freeing swap entry. The freed swap entries will be collected in a per-CPU buffer firstly, and be really freed later in batch. During the batch freeing, if the consecutive swap entries in the per-CPU buffer belongs to same swap device, the swap_info_struct->lock needs to be acquired/released only once, so that the lock contention could be reduced greatly. But if there are multiple swap devices, it is possible that the lock may be unnecessarily released/acquired because the swap entries belong to the same swap device are non-consecutive in the per-CPU buffer. To solve the issue, the per-CPU buffer is sorted according to the swap device before freeing the swap entries. With the patch, the memory (some swapped out) free time reduced 11.6% (from 2.65s to 2.35s) in the vm-scalability swap-w-rand test case with 16 processes. The test is done on a Xeon E5 v3 system. The swap device used is a RAM simulated PMEM (persistent memory) device. To test swapping, the test case creates 16 processes, which allocate and write to the anonymous pages until the RAM and part of the swap device is used up, finally the memory (some swapped out) is freed before exit.
