      radix-tree: account radix_tree_node to memory cgroup · 58e698af
      Vladimir Davydov authored
      Allocation of radix_tree_node objects can be easily triggered from
      userspace, so we should account them to memory cgroup.  Besides, we need
      them accounted for making shadow node shrinker per memcg (see
      mm/workingset.c).
      
      A tricky thing about accounting radix_tree_node objects is that they are
      mostly allocated through radix_tree_preload(), so we can't just set
      SLAB_ACCOUNT for radix_tree_node_cachep - that would likely result in a
      lot of unrelated cgroups using objects from each other's caches.
      
      One way to overcome this would be making radix tree preloads per memcg,
      but that would probably look cumbersome and overcomplicated.
      
      Instead, we make radix_tree_node_alloc() first try to allocate from the
      cache with __GFP_ACCOUNT, no matter if the caller has preloaded or not,
      and only if it fails fall back on using per cpu preloads.  This should
      make most allocations accounted.

      mm: memcontrol: zap memcg_kmem_online helper · b6ecd2de
      Vladimir Davydov authored
      As kmem accounting is now either enabled for all cgroups or disabled
      system-wide, there's no point in having memcg_kmem_online() helper -
      instead one can use memcg_kmem_enabled() and mem_cgroup_online(), as
      shrink_slab() now does.
      
      There are only two places left where this helper is used -
      __memcg_kmem_charge() and memcg_create_kmem_cache().  The former can
      only be called if memcg_kmem_enabled() returned true.  Since the cgroup
      it operates on is online, mem_cgroup_is_root() check will be enough.
      
      memcg_create_kmem_cache() can't use mem_cgroup_online() helper instead
      of memcg_kmem_online(), because it relies on the fact that in
      memcg_offline_kmem() memcg->kmem_state is changed before
      memcg_deactivate_kmem_caches() is called, but there we can just
      open-code the check.

      mm: vmscan: pass root_mem_cgroup instead of NULL to memcg aware shrinker · 0fc9f58a
      Vladimir Davydov authored
      It's just convenient to implement a memcg aware shrinker when you know
      that shrink_control->memcg != NULL unless memcg_kmem_enabled() returns
      false.

      mm: memcontrol: enable kmem accounting for all cgroups in the legacy hierarchy · b313aeee
      Vladimir Davydov authored
      Workingset code was recently made memcg aware, but shadow node shrinker
      is still global.  As a result, one small cgroup can consume all memory
      available for shadow nodes, possibly hurting other cgroups by reclaiming
      their shadow nodes, even though reclaim distances stored in its shadow
      nodes have no effect.  To avoid this, we need to make shadow node
      shrinker memcg aware.
      
      The actual work is done in patch 6 of the series.  Patches 1 and 2
      prepare memcg/shrinker infrastructure for the change.  Patch 3 is just a
      collateral cleanup.  Patch 4 makes radix_tree_node accounted, which is
      necessary for making shadow node shrinker memcg aware.  Patch 5 reduces
      shadow nodes overhead in case workload mostly uses anonymous pages.
      
      This patch:
      
      Currently, in the legacy hierarchy kmem accounting is off for all
      cgroups by default and must be enabled explicitly by writing something
      to memory.kmem.limit_in_bytes.  Since we don't support reclaim on
      hitting kmem limit, nor do we have any plans to implement it, this is
      likely to be -1, just to enable kmem accounting and limit kernel memory
      consumption by the memory.limit_in_bytes along with user memory.
      
      This user API was introduced when the implementation of kmem accounting
      lacked slab shrinker support and hence was useless in practice.  Things
      have changed since then - slab shrinkers were made memcg aware, the
      accounting overhead seems to be negligible, and a failure to charge a
      kmem allocation should not have critical consequences, because we only
      account those kernel objects that should be safe to fail.  That's why
      kmem accounting is enabled by default for all cgroups in the default
      hierarchy, which will eventually replace the legacy one.
      
      The ability to enable kmem accounting for some cgroups while keeping it
      disabled for others is getting difficult to maintain.  E.g.  to make
      shadow node shrinker memcg aware (see mm/workingset.c), we need to know
      the relationship between the number of shadow nodes allocated for a
      cgroup and the size of its lru list.  If kmem accounting is enabled for
      all cgroups there is no problem, but what should we do if kmem
      accounting is enabled only for half of cgroups? We've no other choice
      but use global lru stats while scanning root cgroup's shadow nodes, but
      that would be wrong if kmem accounting was enabled for all cgroups
      (which is the case if the unified hierarchy is used), in which case we
      should use lru stats of the root cgroup's lruvec.
      
      That being said, let's enable kmem accounting for all memory cgroups by
      default.  If one finds it unstable or too costly, it can always be
      disabled system-wide by passing cgroup.memory=nokmem to the kernel at
      boot time.

      mm, kswapd: replace kswapd compaction with waking up kcompactd · accf6242
      Vlastimil Babka authored
      Similarly to direct reclaim/compaction, kswapd attempts to combine
      reclaim and compaction to attempt making memory allocation of given
      order available.
      
      The details differ from direct reclaim e.g. in having high watermark as
      a goal.  The code involved in kswapd's reclaim/compaction decisions has
      evolved to be quite complex.
      
      Testing reveals that it doesn't actually work in at least one scenario,
      and closer inspection suggests that it could be greatly simplified
      without compromising on the goal (make high-order page available) or
      efficiency (don't reclaim too much).  The simplification relieas of
      doing all compaction in kcompactd, which is simply woken up when high
      watermarks are reached by kswapd's reclaim.
      
      The scenario where kswapd compaction doesn't work was found with mmtests
      test stress-highalloc configured to attempt order-9 allocations without
      direct reclaim, just waking up kswapd.  There was no compaction attempt
      from kswapd during the whole test.  Some added instrumentation shows
      what happens:
      
       - balance_pgdat() sets end_zone to Normal, as it's not balanced
       - reclaim is attempted on DMA zone, which sets nr_attempted to 99, but
         it cannot reclaim anything, so sc.nr_reclaimed is 0
       - for zones DMA32 and Normal, kswapd_shrink_zone uses testorder=0, so
         it merely checks if high watermarks were reached for base pages.
         This is true, so no reclaim is attempted.  For DMA, testorder=0
         wasn't used, as compaction_suitable() returned COMPACT_SKIPPED
       - even though the pgdat_needs_compaction flag wasn't set to false, no
         compaction happens due to the condition sc.nr_reclaimed >
         nr_attempted being false (as 0 < 99)
       - priority-- due to nr_reclaimed being 0, repeat until priority reaches
         0 pgdat_balanced() is false as only the small zone DMA appears
         balanced (curiously in that check, watermark appears OK and
         compaction_suitable() returns COMPACT_PARTIAL, because a lower
         classzone_idx is used there)
      
      Now, even if it was decided that reclaim shouldn't be attempted on the
      DMA zone, the scenario would be the same, as (sc.nr_reclaimed=0 >
      nr_attempted=0) is also false.  The condition really should use >= as
      the comment suggests.  Then there is a mismatch in the check for setting
      pgdat_needs_compaction to false using low watermark, while the rest uses
      high watermark, and who knows what other subtlety.  Hopefully this
      demonstrates that this is unsustainable.
      
      Luckily we can simplify this a lot.  The reclaim/compaction decisions
      make sense for direct reclaim scenario, but in kswapd, our primary goal
      is to reach high watermark in order-0 pages.  Afterwards we can attempt
      compaction just once.  Unlike direct reclaim, we don't reclaim extra
      pages (over the high watermark), the current code already disallows it
      for good reasons.
      
      After this patch, we simply wake up kcompactd to process the pgdat,
      after we have either succeeded or failed to reach the high watermarks in
      kswapd, which goes to sleep.  We pass kswapd's order and classzone_idx,
      so kcompactd can apply the same criteria to determine which zones are
      worth compacting.  Note that we use the classzone_idx from
      wakeup_kswapd(), not balanced_classzone_idx which can include higher
      zones that kswapd tried to balance too, but didn't consider them in
      pgdat_balanced().
      
      Since kswapd now cannot create high-order pages itself, we need to
      adjust how it determines the zones to be balanced.  The key element here
      is adding a "highorder" parameter to zone_balanced, which, when set to
      false, makes it consider only order-0 watermark instead of the desired
      higher order (this was done previously by kswapd_shrink_zone(), but not
      elsewhere).  This false is passed for example in pgdat_balanced().
      Importantly, wakeup_kswapd() uses true to make sure kswapd and thus
      kcompactd are woken up for a high-order allocation failure.
      
      The last thing is to decide what to do with pageblock_skip bitmap
      handling.  Compaction maintains a pageblock_skip bitmap to record
      pageblocks where isolation recently failed.  This bitmap can be reset by
      three ways:
      
      1) direct compaction is restarting after going through the full deferred cycle
      
      2) kswapd goes to sleep, and some other direct compaction has previously
         finished scanning the whole zone and set zone->compact_blockskip_flush.
         Note that a successful direct compaction clears this flag.
      
      3) compaction was invoked manually via trigger in /proc
      
      The case 2) is somewhat fuzzy to begin with, but after introducing
      kcompactd we should update it.  The check for direct compaction in 1),
      and to set the flush flag in 2) use current_is_kswapd(), which doesn't
      work for kcompactd.  Thus, this patch adds bool direct_compaction to
      compact_control to use in 2).  For the case 1) we remove the check
      completely - unlike the former kswapd compaction, kcompactd does use the
      deferred compaction functionality, so flushing tied to restarting from
      deferred compaction makes sense here.
      
      Note that when kswapd goes to sleep, kcompactd is woken up, so it will
      see the flushed pageblock_skip bits.  This is different from when the
      former kswapd compaction observed the bits and I believe it makes more
      sense.  Kcompactd can afford to be more thorough than a direct
      compaction trying to limit allocation latency, or kswapd whose primary
      goal is to reclaim.
      
      For testing, I used stress-highalloc configured to do order-9
      allocations with GFP_NOWAIT|__GFP_HIGH|__GFP_COMP, so they relied just
      on kswapd/kcompactd reclaim/compaction (the interfering kernel builds in
      phases 1 and 2 work as usual):

      After this patch we see improvements in allocation success rate
      (especially for phase 3) along with increased compaction activity.  The
      compaction stalls (direct compaction) in the interfering kernel builds
      (probably THP's) also decreased somewhat thanks to kcompactd activity,
      yet THP alloc successes improved a bit.
      
      Note that elapsed and user time isn't so useful for this benchmark,
      because of the background interference being unpredictable.  It's just
      to quickly spot some major unexpected differences.  System time is
      somewhat more useful and that didn't increase.
      
      Also (after adjusting mmtests' ftrace monitor):
      
      Time kswapd awake               2547781     2269241
      Time kcompactd awake                  0      119253
      Time direct compacting           939937      557649
      Time kswapd compacting                0           0
      Time kcompactd compacting             0      119099
      
      The decrease of overal time spent compacting appears to not match the
      increased compaction stats.  I suspect the tasks get rescheduled and
      since the ftrace monitor doesn't see that, the reported time is wall
      time, not CPU time.  But arguably direct compactors care about overall
      latency anyway, whether busy compacting or waiting for CPU doesn't
      matter.  And that latency seems to almost halved.
      
      It's also interesting how much time kswapd spent awake just going
      through all the priorities and failing to even try compacting, over and
      over.
      
      We can also configure stress-highalloc to perform both direct
      reclaim/compaction and wakeup kswapd/kcompactd, by using
      GFP_KERNEL|__GFP_HIGH|__GFP_COMP:

      In this scenario, this patch doesn't change the overall success rate as
      direct compaction already tries all it can.  There's however significant
      reduction in direct compaction stalls (that is, the number of
      allocations that went into direct compaction).  The number of successes
      (i.e.  direct compaction stalls that ended up with successful
      allocation) is reduced by the same number.  This means the offload to
      kcompactd is working as expected, and direct compaction is reduced
      either due to detecting contention, or compaction deferred by kcompactd.
      In the previous version of this patchset there was some apparent
      reduction of success rate, but the changes in this version (such as
      using sync compaction only), new baseline kernel, and/or averaging
      results from 5 executions (my bet), made this go away.
      
      Ftrace-based stats seem to roughly agree:

      Time kcompactd awake                  0      257916
      Time direct compacting           864839      735130
      Time kswapd compacting                0           0
      Time kcompactd compacting             0      257585

      We can reuse the nid we've determined instead of repeated pfn_to_nid()

      mm, compaction: introduce kcompactd · 698b1b30
      Vlastimil Babka authored
      Memory compaction can be currently performed in several contexts:
      
       - kswapd balancing a zone after a high-order allocation failure
       - direct compaction to satisfy a high-order allocation, including THP
         page fault attemps
       - khugepaged trying to collapse a hugepage
       - manually from /proc
      
      The purpose of compaction is two-fold.  The obvious purpose is to
      satisfy a (pending or future) high-order allocation, and is easy to
      evaluate.  The other purpose is to keep overal memory fragmentation low
      and help the anti-fragmentation mechanism.  The success wrt the latter
      purpose is more
      
      The current situation wrt the purposes has a few drawbacks:
      
       - compaction is invoked only when a high-order page or hugepage is not
         available (or manually).  This might be too late for the purposes of
         keeping memory fragmentation low.
       - direct compaction increases latency of allocations.  Again, it would
         be better if compaction was performed asynchronously to keep
         fragmentation low, before the allocation itself comes.
       - (a special case of the previous) the cost of compaction during THP
         page faults can easily offset the benefits of THP.
       - kswapd compaction appears to be complex, fragile and not working in
         some scenarios.  It could also end up compacting for a high-order
         allocation request when it should be reclaiming memory for a later
         order-0 request.
      
      To improve the situation, we should be able to benefit from an
      equivalent of kswapd, but for compaction - i.e. a background thread
      which responds to fragmentation and the need for high-order allocations
      (including hugepages) somewhat proactively.
      
      One possibility is to extend the responsibilities of kswapd, which could
      however complicate its design too much.  It should be better to let
      kswapd handle reclaim, as order-0 allocations are often more critical
      than high-order ones.
      
      Another possibility is to extend khugepaged, but this kthread is a
      single instance and tied to THP configs.
      
      This patch goes with the option of a new set of per-node kthreads called
      kcompactd, and lays the foundations, without introducing any new
      tunables.  The lifecycle mimics kswapd kthreads, including the memory
      hotplug hooks.
      
      For compaction, kcompactd uses the standard compaction_suitable() and
      ompact_finished() criteria and the deferred compaction functionality.
      Unlike direct compaction, it uses only sync compaction, as there's no
      allocation latency to minimize.
      
      This patch doesn't yet add a call to wakeup_kcompactd.  The kswapd
      compact/reclaim loop for high-order pages will be replaced by waking up
      kcompactd in the next patch with the description of what's wrong with
      the old approach.
      
      Waking up of the kcompactd threads is also tied to kswapd activity and
      follows these rules:
       - we don't want to affect any fastpaths, so wake up kcompactd only from
         the slowpath, as it's done for kswapd
       - if kswapd is doing reclaim, it's more important than compaction, so
         don't invoke kcompactd until kswapd goes to sleep
       - the target order used for kswapd is passed to kcompactd
      
      Future possible future uses for kcompactd include the ability to wake up
      kcompactd on demand in special situations, such as when hugepages are
      not available (currently not done due to __GFP_NO_KSWAPD) or when a
      fragmentation event (i.e.  __rmqueue_fallback()) occurs.  It's also
      possible to perform periodic compaction with kcompactd.

      mm, kswapd: remove bogus check of balance_classzone_idx · 81c5857b
      Vlastimil Babka authored
      During work on kcompactd integration I have spotted a confusing check of
      balance_classzone_idx, which I believe is bogus.
      
      The balanced_classzone_idx is filled by balance_pgdat() as the highest
      zone it attempted to balance.  This was introduced by commit dc83edd9
      ("mm: kswapd: use the classzone idx that kswapd was using for
      sleeping_prematurely()").
      
      The intention is that (as expressed in today's function names), the
      value used for kswapd_shrink_zone() calls in balance_pgdat() is the same
      as for the decisions in kswapd_try_to_sleep().
      
      An unwanted side-effect of that commit was breaking the checks in
      kswapd() whether there was another kswapd_wakeup with a tighter (=lower)
      classzone_idx.  Commits 215ddd66 ("mm: vmscan: only read
      new_classzone_idx from pgdat when reclaiming successfully") and
      d2ebd0f6 ("kswapd: avoid unnecessary rebalance after an unsuccessful
      balancing") tried to fixed, but apparently introduced a bogus check that
      this patch removes.
      
      Consider zone indexes X < Y < Z, where:
      - Z is the value used for the first kswapd wakeup.
      - Y is returned as balanced_classzone_idx, which means zones with index higher
        than Y (including Z) were found to be unreclaimable.
      - X is the value used for the second kswapd wakeup
      
      The new wakeup with value X means that kswapd is now supposed to balance
      harder all zones with index <= X.  But instead, due to Y < Z, it will go
      sleep and won't read the new value X.  This is subtly wrong.
      
      The effect of this patch is that kswapd will react better in some
      situations, where e.g.  the first wakeup is for ZONE_DMA32, the second is
      for ZONE_DMA, and due to unreclaimable ZONE_NORMAL.  Before this patch,
      kswapd would go sleep instead of reclaiming ZONE_DMA harder.  I expect
      these situations are very rare, and more value is in better
      maintainability due to the removal of confusing and bogus check.

      As CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC can be enabled/disabled via kernel parameters
      we can optimize some cases by checking the enablement state.
      
      This is follow-up work for Christian's Optimize CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC:
      
        https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/1/27/194

      /proc/kpageflags: return KPF_SLAB for slab tail pages · 0a71649c
      Naoya Horiguchi authored
      Currently /proc/kpageflags returns just KPF_COMPOUND_TAIL for slab tail
      pages, which is inconvenient when grasping how slab pages are
      distributed (userspace always needs to check which kind of tail pages by
      itself).  This patch sets KPF_SLAB for such pages.
      
      With this patch:
      
        $ grep Slab /proc/meminfo ; tools/vm/page-types -b slab
        Slab:              64880 kB
                     flags      page-count       MB  symbolic-flags                     long-symbolic-flags

      16220 pages equals to 64880 kB, so returned result is consistent with the
      global counter.

      mm: memcontrol: do not bypass slab charge if memcg is offline · fcff7d7e
      Vladimir Davydov authored
      Slab pages are charged in two steps.  First, an appropriate per memcg
      cache is selected (see memcg_kmem_get_cache) basing on the current
      context, then the new slab page is charged to the memory cgroup which
      the selected cache was created for (see memcg_charge_slab ->
      __memcg_kmem_charge_memcg).  It is OK to bypass kmemcg charge at step 1,
      but if step 1 succeeded and we successfully allocated a new slab page,
      step 2 must be performed, otherwise we would get a per memcg kmem cache
      which contains a slab that does not hold a reference to the memory
      cgroup owning the cache.  Since per memcg kmem caches are destroyed on
      memcg css free, this could result in freeing a cache while there are
      still active objects in it.
      
      However, currently we will bypass slab page charge if the memory cgroup
      owning the cache is offline (see __memcg_kmem_charge_memcg).  This is
      very unlikely to occur in practice, because for this to happen a process
      must be migrated to a different cgroup and the old cgroup must be
      removed while the process is in kmalloc somewhere between steps 1 and 2
      (e.g.  trying to allocate a new page).  Nevertheless, it's still better
      to eliminate such a possibility.

      mm: oom_kill: don't ignore oom score on exiting tasks · 6a618957
      Johannes Weiner authored
      When the OOM killer scans tasks and encounters a PF_EXITING one, it
      force-selects that task regardless of the score.  The problem is that if
      that task got stuck waiting for some state the allocation site is
      holding, the OOM reaper can not move on to the next best victim.
      
      Frankly, I don't even know why we check for exiting tasks in the OOM
      killer.  We've tried direct reclaim at least 15 times by the time we
      decide the system is OOM, there was plenty of time to exit and free
      memory; and a task might exit voluntarily right after we issue a kill.
      This is testing pure noise.  Remove it.

      copy function, but failed to notice that the header pointer is updated
      between the two copies, resulting in bogus data being copied in the
      latter one.  Fix by keeping the old header pointer.

       - Asynchronous address range scrub:
      
           Given the capacities of next generation persistent memory devices a
           scrub operation to find all poison may take 10s of seconds.  We
           want this scrub work to be done asynchronously with the rest of
           system initialization, so we move it out of line from the NFIT
           probing, i.e. acpi_nfit_add().
      
       - Clear poison:
      
           ACPI 6.1 introduces the ability to send "clear error" commands to
           the ACPI0012:00 device representing the root of an "nvdimm bus".
           Similar to relocating a bad block on a disk, this support clears
           media errors in response to a write.
      
       - Persistent memory resource tracking:
      
           A persistent memory range may be designated as simply "reserved" by
           platform firmware in the efi/e820 memory map.  Later when the NFIT
           driver loads it discovers that the range is "Persistent Memory".
      
           The NFIT bus driver inserts a resource to advertise that
           "persistent" attribute in the system resource tree for /proc/iomem
           and kernel-internal usages.
      
       - Miscellaneous cleanups and fixes:
      
           Workaround section misaligned pmem ranges when allocating a struct
           page memmap, fix handling of the read-only case in the ioctl path,
           and clean up block device major number allocation.

      Pull device mapper updates from Mike Snitzer:
      
       - Most attention this cycle went to optimizing blk-mq request-based DM
         (dm-mq) that is used exclussively by DM multipath:
      
           - A stable fix for dm-mq that eliminates excessive context
             switching offers the biggest performance improvement (for both
             IOPs and throughput).
      
           - But more work is needed, during the next cycle, to reduce
             spinlock contention in DM multipath on large NUMA systems.
      
       - A stable fix for a NULL pointer seen when DM stats is enabled on a DM
         multipath device that must requeue an IO due to path failure.
      
       - A stable fix for DM snapshot to disallow the COW and origin devices
         from being identical.  This amounts to graceful failure in the face
         of userspace error because these devices shouldn't ever be identical.
      
       - Stable fixes for DM cache and DM thin provisioning to address crashes
         seen if/when their respective metadata device experiences failures
         that cause the transition to 'fail_io' mode.
      
       - The DM cache 'mq' policy is now an alias for the 'smq' policy.  The
         'smq' policy proved to be consistently better than 'mq'.  As such
         'mq', with all its complex user-facing tunables, has been eliminated.
      
       - Improve DM thin provisioning to consistently return -ENOSPC once the
         thin-pool's data volume is out of space.
      
       - Improve DM core to properly handle error propagation if
         bio_integrity_clone() fails in clone_bio().
      
       - Other small cleanups and improvements to DM core.

      Pull power management and ACPI updates from Rafael Wysocki:
       "This time the majority of changes go into cpufreq and they are
        significant.
      
        First off, the way CPU frequency updates are triggered is different
        now.  Instead of having to set up and manage a deferrable timer for
        each CPU in the system to evaluate and possibly change its frequency
        periodically, cpufreq governors set up callbacks to be invoked by the
        scheduler on a regular basis (basically on utilization updates).  The
        "old" governors, "ondemand" and "conservative", still do all of their
        work in process context (although that is triggered by the scheduler
        now), but intel_pstate does it all in the callback invoked by the
        scheduler with no need for any additional asynchronous processing.
      
        Of course, this eliminates the overhead related to the management of
        all those timers, but also it allows the cpufreq governor code to be
        simplified quite a bit.  On top of that, the common code and data
        structures used by the "ondemand" and "conservative" governors are
        cleaned up and made more straightforward and some long-standing and
        quite annoying problems are addressed.  In particular, the handling of
        governor sysfs attributes is modified and the related locking becomes
        more fine grained which allows some concurrency problems to be avoided
        (particularly deadlocks with the core cpufreq code).
      
        In principle, the new mechanism for triggering frequency updates
        allows utilization information to be passed from the scheduler to
        cpufreq.  Although the current code doesn't make use of it, in the
        works is a new cpufreq governor that will make decisions based on the
        scheduler's utilization data.  That should allow the scheduler and
        cpufreq to work more closely together in the long run.
      
        In addition to the core and governor changes, cpufreq drivers are
        updated too.  Fixes and optimizations go into intel_pstate, the
        cpufreq-dt driver is updated on top of some modification in the
        Operating Performance Points (OPP) framework and there are fixes and
        other updates in the powernv cpufreq driver.
      
        Apart from the cpufreq updates there is some new ACPICA material,
        including a fix for a problem introduced by previous ACPICA updates,
        and some less significant changes in the ACPI code, like CPPC code
        optimizations, ACPI processor driver cleanups and support for loading
        ACPI tables from initrd.
      
        Also updated are the generic power domains framework, the Intel RAPL
        power capping driver and the turbostat utility and we have a bunch of
        traditional assorted fixes and cleanups.
      
        Specifics:
      
         - Redesign of cpufreq governors and the intel_pstate driver to make
           them use callbacks invoked by the scheduler to trigger CPU
           frequency evaluation instead of using per-CPU deferrable timers for
           that purpose (Rafael Wysocki).
      
         - Reorganization and cleanup of cpufreq governor code to make it more
           straightforward and fix some concurrency problems in it (Rafael
           Wysocki, Viresh Kumar).
      
         - Cleanup and improvements of locking in the cpufreq core (Viresh
           Kumar).
      
         - Assorted cleanups in the cpufreq core (Rafael Wysocki, Viresh
           Kumar, Eric Biggers).
      
         - intel_pstate driver updates including fixes, optimizations and a
           modification to make it enable enable hardware-coordinated P-state
           selection (HWP) by default if supported by the processor (Philippe
           Longepe, Srinivas Pandruvada, Rafael Wysocki, Viresh Kumar, Felipe
           Franciosi).
      
         - Operating Performance Points (OPP) framework updates to improve its
           handling of voltage regulators and device clocks and updates of the
           cpufreq-dt driver on top of that (Viresh Kumar, Jon Hunter).
      
         - Updates of the powernv cpufreq driver to fix initialization and
           cleanup problems in it and correct its worker thread handling with
           respect to CPU offline, new powernv_throttle tracepoint (Shilpasri
           Bhat).
      
         - ACPI cpufreq driver optimization and cleanup (Rafael Wysocki).
      
         - ACPICA updates including one fix for a regression introduced by
           previos changes in the ACPICA code (Bob Moore, Lv Zheng, David Box,
           Colin Ian King).
      
         - Support for installing ACPI tables from initrd (Lv Zheng).
      
         - Optimizations of the ACPI CPPC code (Prashanth Prakash, Ashwin
           Chaugule).
      
         - Support for _HID(ACPI0010) devices (ACPI processor containers) and
           ACPI processor driver cleanups (Sudeep Holla).
      
         - Support for ACPI-based enumeration of the AMBA bus (Graeme Gregory,
           Aleksey Makarov).
      
         - Modification of the ACPI PCI IRQ management code to make it treat
           255 in the Interrupt Line register as "not connected" on x86 (as
           per the specification) and avoid attempts to use that value as a
           valid interrupt vector (Chen Fan).
      
         - ACPI APEI fixes related to resource leaks (Josh Hunt).
      
         - Removal of modularity from a few ACPI drivers (BGRT, GHES,
           intel_pmic_crc) that cannot be built as modules in practice (Paul
           Gortmaker).
      
         - PNP framework update to make it treat ACPI_RESOURCE_TYPE_SERIAL_BUS
           as a valid resource type (Harb Abdulhamid).
      
         - New device ID (future AMD I2C controller) in the ACPI driver for
           AMD SoCs (APD) and in the designware I2C driver (Xiangliang Yu).
      
         - Assorted ACPI cleanups (Colin Ian King, Kaiyen Chang, Oleg Drokin).
      
         - cpuidle menu governor optimization to avoid a square root
           computation in it (Rasmus Villemoes).
      
         - Fix for potential use-after-free in the generic device properties
           framework (Heikki Krogerus).
      
         - Updates of the generic power domains (genpd) framework including
           support for multiple power states of a domain, fixes and debugfs
           output improvements (Axel Haslam, Jon Hunter, Laurent Pinchart,
           Geert Uytterhoeven).
      
         - Intel RAPL power capping driver updates to reduce IPI overhead in
           it (Jacob Pan).
      
         - System suspend/hibernation code cleanups (Eric Biggers, Saurabh
           Sengar).
      
         - Year 2038 fix for the process freezer (Abhilash Jindal).
      
         - turbostat utility updates including new features (decoding of more
           registers and CPUID fields, sub-second intervals support, GFX MHz
           and RC6 printout, --out command line option), fixes (syscall jitter
           detection and workaround, reductioin of the number of syscalls
           made, fixes related to Xeon x200 processors, compiler warning
           fixes) and cleanups (Len Brown, Hubert Chrzaniuk, Chen Yu)"

      Pull KVM updates from Paolo Bonzini:
       "One of the largest releases for KVM...  Hardly any generic
        changes, but lots of architecture-specific updates.
      
        ARM:
         - VHE support so that we can run the kernel at EL2 on ARMv8.1 systems
         - PMU support for guests
         - 32bit world switch rewritten in C
         - various optimizations to the vgic save/restore code.
      
        PPC:
         - enabled KVM-VFIO integration ("VFIO device")
         - optimizations to speed up IPIs between vcpus
         - in-kernel handling of IOMMU hypercalls
         - support for dynamic DMA windows (DDW).
      
        s390:
         - provide the floating point registers via sync regs;
         - separated instruction vs.  data accesses
         - dirty log improvements for huge guests
         - bugfixes and documentation improvements.
      
        x86:
         - Hyper-V VMBus hypercall userspace exit
         - alternative implementation of lowest-priority interrupts using
           vector hashing (for better VT-d posted interrupt support)
         - fixed guest debugging with nested virtualizations
         - improved interrupt tracking in the in-kernel IOAPIC
         - generic infrastructure for tracking writes to guest
           memory - currently its only use is to speedup the legacy shadow
           paging (pre-EPT) case, but in the future it will be used for
           virtual GPUs as well
         - much cleanup (LAPIC, kvmclock, MMU, PIT), including ubsan fixes"
