Pull s390 updates from Heiko Carstens: "Since Martin is on vacation you get the s390 pull request from me: - Host large page support for KVM guests. As the patches have large impact on arch/s390/mm/ this series goes out via both the KVM and the s390 tree. - Add an option for no compression to the "Kernel compression mode" menu, this will come in handy with the rework of the early boot code. - A large rework of the early boot code that will make life easier for KASAN and KASLR. With the rework the bootable uncompressed image is not generated anymore, only the bzImage is available. For debuggung purposes the new "no compression" option is used. - Re-enable the gcc plugins as the issue with the latent entropy plugin is solved with the early boot code rework. - More spectre relates changes: + Detect the etoken facility and remove expolines automatically. + Add expolines to a few more indirect branches. - A rewrite of the common I/O layer trace points to make them consumable by 'perf stat'. - Add support for format-3 PCI function measurement blocks. - Changes for the zcrypt driver: + Add attributes to indicate the load of cards and queues. + Restructure some code for the upcoming AP device support in KVM. - Build flags improvements in various Makefiles. - A few fixes for the kdump support. - A couple of patches for gcc 8 compile warning cleanup. - Cleanup s390 specific proc handlers. - Add s390 support to the restartable sequence self tests. - Some PTR_RET vs PTR_ERR_OR_ZERO cleanup. - Lots of bug fixes" * 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/s390/linux: (107 commits) s390/dasd: fix hanging offline processing due to canceled worker s390/dasd: fix panic for failed online processing s390/mm: fix addressing exception after suspend/resume rseq/selftests: add s390 support s390: fix br_r1_trampoline for machines without exrl s390/lib: use expoline for all bcr instructions s390/numa: move initial setup of node_to_cpumask_map s390/kdump: Fix elfcorehdr size calculation s390/cpum_sf: save TOD clock base in SDBs for time conversion KVM: s390: Add huge page enablement control s390/mm: Add huge page gmap linking support s390/mm: hugetlb pages within a gmap can not be freed KVM: s390: Add skey emulation fault handling s390/mm: Add huge pmd storage key handling s390/mm: Clear skeys for newly mapped huge guest pmds s390/mm: Clear huge page storage keys on enable_skey s390/mm: Add huge page dirty sync support s390/mm: Add gmap pmd invalidation and clearing s390/mm: Add gmap pmd notification bit setting s390/mm: Add gmap pmd linking ...

Pull x86 cache QoS (RDT/CAR) updates from Thomas Gleixner: "Add support for pseudo-locked cache regions. Cache Allocation Technology (CAT) allows on certain CPUs to isolate a region of cache and 'lock' it. Cache pseudo-locking builds on the fact that a CPU can still read and write data pre-allocated outside its current allocated area on cache hit. With cache pseudo-locking data can be preloaded into a reserved portion of cache that no application can fill, and from that point on will only serve cache hits. The cache pseudo-locked memory is made accessible to user space where an application can map it into its virtual address space and thus have a region of memory with reduced average read latency. The locking is not perfect and gets totally screwed by WBINDV and similar mechanisms, but it provides a reasonable enhancement for certain types of latency sensitive applications. The implementation extends the current CAT mechanism and provides a generally useful exclusive CAT mode on which it builds the extra pseude-locked regions" * 'x86-cache-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (45 commits) x86/intel_rdt: Disable PMU access x86/intel_rdt: Fix possible circular lock dependency x86/intel_rdt: Make CPU information accessible for pseudo-locked regions x86/intel_rdt: Support restoration of subset of permissions x86/intel_rdt: Fix cleanup of plr structure on error x86/intel_rdt: Move pseudo_lock_region_clear() x86/intel_rdt: Limit C-states dynamically when pseudo-locking active x86/intel_rdt: Support L3 cache performance event of Broadwell x86/intel_rdt: More precise L2 hit/miss measurements x86/intel_rdt: Create character device exposing pseudo-locked region x86/intel_rdt: Create debugfs files for pseudo-locking testing x86/intel_rdt: Create resctrl debug area x86/intel_rdt: Ensure RDT cleanup on exit x86/intel_rdt: Resctrl files reflect pseudo-locked information x86/intel_rdt: Support creation/removal of pseudo-locked region x86/intel_rdt: Pseudo-lock region creation/removal core x86/intel_rdt: Discover supported platforms via prefetch disable bits x86/intel_rdt: Add utilities to test pseudo-locked region possibility x86/intel_rdt: Split resource group removal in two x86/intel_rdt: Enable entering of pseudo-locksetup mode ...

Pull RCU updates from Thomas Gleixner: "A large update to RCU: Preparatory work for consolidating the RCU flavors: - Introduce grace-period sequence numbers to the RCU-bh, RCU-preempt, and RCU-sched flavors, replacing the old ->gpnum and ->completed pair of fields. This change allows lockless code to obtain the complete grace-period state with a single READ_ONCE(), which is needed to maintain tolerable lock contention during the upcoming consolidation of the three RCU flavors. Note that grace-period sequence numbers are already used by rcu_barrier(), expedited RCU grace periods, and SRCU, and are thus already heavily used and well-tested. Joel Fernandes contributed a number of excellent fixes and improvements. - Clean up some grace-period-reporting loose ends, including improving the handling of quiescent states from offline CPUs and fixing some false-positive WARN_ON_ONCE() invocations. (Strictly speaking, the WARN_ON_ONCE() invocations were quite correct, but their invariants were (harmlessly) violated by the earlier sloppy handling of quiescent states from offline CPUs.) In addition, improve grace-period forward-progress guarantees so as to allow removal of fail-safe checks that required otherwise needless lock acquisitions. Finally, add more diagnostics to help debug the upcoming consolidation of the RCU-bh, RCU-preempt, and RCU-sched flavors.

The way this function is implemented caused some confusion when converting the TI DaVinci platform to using the common clock framework. Current kernel supports booting DaVinci boards both in device tree as well as legacy, board-file mode. In the latter, we always end up calling clk_get_sys() as of_node is NULL and __of_clk_get_by_name() returns -ENOENT. It was not obvious at first glance how clk_get(dev, NULL) will work in board-file mode since we always call __of_clk_get_by_name(). Let's make it clearer by checking if of_node is NULL and skipping right to clk_get_sys().

This patchset fixes and improves stack unwinding a lot: 1. Show backward stack traces with up to 30 callsites 2. Add callinfo to ENTRY_CFI() such that every assembler function will get an entry in the unwind table 3. Use constants instead of numbers in call_on_stack() 4. Do not depend on CONFIG_KALLSYMS to generate backtraces. 5. Speed up backtrace generation Make sure you have this patch to GNU as installed: https://sourceware.org/ml/binutils/2018-07/msg00474.html Without this patch, unwind info in the kernel is often wrong for various functions.

Now that mb() is an instruction barrier, it will slow performance if we issue unnecessary barriers. The spinlock defines have a number of unnecessary barriers. The __ldcw() define is both a hardware and compiler barrier. The mb() barriers in the routines using __ldcw() serve no purpose. The only barrier needed is the one in arch_spin_unlock(). We need to ensure all accesses are complete prior to releasing the lock.

Now that we use a sync prior to releasing the locks in syscall.S, we don't need the PA 2.0 ordered stores used to release some locks. Using an ordered store, potentially slows the release and subsequent code. There are a number of other ordered stores and loads that serve no purpose. I have converted these to normal stores.

parisc is the only Linux architecture which has defined a value for ENOTSUP. All other architectures #define ENOTSUP as EOPNOTSUPP in their libc headers. Having an own value for ENOTSUP which is different than EOPNOTSUPP often gives problems with userspace programs which expect both to be the same. One such example is a build error in the libuv package, as can be seen in https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=900237. Since we dropped HP-UX support, there is no real benefit in keeping an own value for ENOTSUP. This patch drops the parisc value for ENOTSUP from the kernel sources. glibc needs no patch, it reuses the exported headers. Signed-off-by: Helge Deller <deller@gmx.de>
