         - Fix function graph trace support
      
         - Prefix the CSR IRQ_* macro names with "RV_", to avoid collisions
           with macros elsewhere in the Linux kernel tree named "IRQ_TIMER"

      Documentation: riscv: add patch acceptance guidelines · 0e194d9d
      Paul Walmsley authored
      Formalize, in kernel documentation, the patch acceptance policy for
      arch/riscv.  In summary, it states that as maintainers, we plan to
      only accept patches for new modules or extensions that have been
      frozen or ratified by the RISC-V Foundation.
      
      We've been following these guidelines for the past few months.  In the
      meantime, we've received quite a bit of feedback that it would be
      helpful to have these guidelines formally documented.
      
      Based on a suggestion from Matthew Wilcox, we also add a link to this
      file to Documentation/process/index.rst, to make this document easier
      to find.  The format of this document has also been changed to align
      to the format outlined in the maintainer entry profiles, in accordance
      with comments from Jon Corbet and Dan Williams.

      riscv: prefix IRQ_ macro names with an RV_ namespace · 2f3035da
      Paul Walmsley authored
      "IRQ_TIMER", used in the arch/riscv CSR header file, is a sufficiently
      generic macro name that it's used by several source files across the
      Linux code base.  Some of these other files ultimately include the
      arch/riscv CSR include file, causing collisions.  Fix by prefixing the
      RISC-V csr.h IRQ_ macro names with an RV_ prefix.

      clocksource: riscv: add notrace to riscv_sched_clock · 9d05c18e
      Zong Li authored
      When enabling ftrace graph tracer, it gets the tracing clock in
      ftrace_push_return_trace().  Eventually, it invokes riscv_sched_clock()
      to get the clock value.  If riscv_sched_clock() isn't marked with
      'notrace', it will call ftrace_push_return_trace() and cause infinite
      loop.
      
      The result of failure as follow:

      apparmor: fix aa_xattrs_match() may sleep while holding a RCU lock · 8c62ed27
      John Johansen authored
      aa_xattrs_match() is unfortunately calling vfs_getxattr_alloc() from a
      context protected by an rcu_read_lock. This can not be done as
      vfs_getxattr_alloc() may sleep regardles of the gfp_t value being
      passed to it.
      
      Fix this by breaking the rcu_read_lock on the policy search when the
      xattr match feature is requested and restarting the search if a policy
      changes occur.

      ocfs2: call journal flush to mark journal as empty after journal recovery when mount · 397eac17
      Kai Li authored
      If journal is dirty when mount, it will be replayed but jbd2 sb log tail
      cannot be updated to mark a new start because journal->j_flag has
      already been set with JBD2_ABORT first in journal_init_common.
      
      When a new transaction is committed, it will be recored in block 1
      first(journal->j_tail is set to 1 in journal_reset).  If emergency
      restart happens again before journal super block is updated
      unfortunately, the new recorded trans will not be replayed in the next
      mount.
      
      The following steps describe this procedure in detail.
      1. mount and touch some files
      2. these transactions are committed to journal area but not checkpointed
      3. emergency restart
      4. mount again and its journals are replayed
      5. journal super block's first s_start is 1, but its s_seq is not updated
      6. touch a new file and its trans is committed but not checkpointed
      7. emergency restart again
      8. mount and journal is dirty, but trans committed in 6 will not be
      replayed.
      
      This exception happens easily when this lun is used by only one node.
      If it is used by multi-nodes, other node will replay its journal and its
      journal super block will be updated after recovery like what this patch
      does.
      
      ocfs2_recover_node->ocfs2_replay_journal.
      
      The following jbd2 journal can be generated by touching a new file after
      journal is replayed, and seq 15 is the first valid commit, but first seq
      is 13 in journal super block.
      
      logdump:
        Block 0: Journal Superblock
        Seq: 0   Type: 4 (JBD2_SUPERBLOCK_V2)

      The following is journal recovery log when recovering the upper jbd2
      journal when mount again.
      
      syslog:
        ocfs2: File system on device (252,1) was not unmounted cleanly, recovering it.
        fs/jbd2/recovery.c:(do_one_pass, 449): Starting recovery pass 0
        fs/jbd2/recovery.c:(do_one_pass, 449): Starting recovery pass 1
        fs/jbd2/recovery.c:(do_one_pass, 449): Starting recovery pass 2
        fs/jbd2/recovery.c:(jbd2_journal_recover, 278): JBD2: recovery, exit status 0, recovered transactions 13 to 13
      
      Due to first commit seq 13 recorded in journal super is not consistent
      with the value recorded in block 1(seq is 14), journal recovery will be
      terminated before seq 15 even though it is an unbroken commit, inode
      8257802 is a new file and it will be lost.

      mm/hugetlb: defer freeing of huge pages if in non-task context · c77c0a8a

      The following lockdep splat was observed when a certain hugetlbfs test
      was run:

      Both the hugetbl_lock and the subpool lock can be acquired in
      free_huge_page().  One way to solve the problem is to make both locks
      irq-safe.  However, Mike Kravetz had learned that the hugetlb_lock is
      held for a linear scan of ALL hugetlb pages during a cgroup reparentling
      operation.  So it is just too long to have irq disabled unless we can
      break hugetbl_lock down into finer-grained locks with shorter lock hold
      times.
      
      Another alternative is to defer the freeing to a workqueue job.  This
      patch implements the deferred freeing by adding a free_hpage_workfn()
      work function to do the actual freeing.  The free_huge_page() call in a
      non-task context saves the page to be freed in the hpage_freelist linked
      list in a lockless manner using the llist APIs.
      
      The generic workqueue is used to process the work, but a dedicated
      workqueue can be used instead if it is desirable to have the huge page
      freed ASAP.
      
      Thanks to Kirill Tkhai <ktkhai@virtuozzo.com> for suggesting the use of
      llist APIs which simplfy the code.
