Pull x86/smap support from Ingo Molnar:
"This adds support for the SMAP (Supervisor Mode Access Prevention) CPU
feature on Intel CPUs: a hardware feature that prevents unintended
user-space data access from kernel privileged code.
It's turned on automatically when possible.
This, in combination with SMEP, makes it even harder to exploit kernel
bugs such as NULL pointer dereferences."
Fix up trivial conflict in arch/x86/kernel/entry_64.S due to newly added
includes right next to each other.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull perf update from Ingo Molnar:
"Lots of changes in this cycle as well, with hundreds of commits from
over 30 contributors. Most of the activity was on the tooling side.
Higher level changes:
- New 'perf kvm' analysis tool, from Xiao Guangrong.
- New 'perf trace' system-wide tracing tool
- uprobes fixes + cleanups from Oleg Nesterov.
- Lots of patches to make perf build on Android out of box, from
Irina Tirdea
- Extend ftrace function tracing utility to be more dynamic for its
users. It allows for data passing to the callback functions, as
well as reading regs as if a breakpoint were to trigger at function
entry.
The main goal of this patch series was to allow kprobes to use
ftrace as an optimized probe point when a probe is placed on an
ftrace nop. With lots of help from Masami Hiramatsu, and going
through lots of iterations, we finally came up with a good
solution.
- Add cpumask for uncore pmu, use it in 'stat', from Yan, Zheng.
- Various tracing updates from Steve Rostedt
- Clean up and improve 'perf sched' performance by elliminating lots
of needless calls to libtraceevent.
- Event group parsing support, from Jiri Olsa
- UI/gtk refactorings and improvements from Namhyung Kim
- Add support for non-tracepoint events in perf script python, from
Feng Tang
- Add --symbols to 'script', similar to the one in 'report', from
Feng Tang.
Infrastructure enhancements and fixes:
- Convert the trace builtins to use the growing evsel/evlist
tracepoint infrastructure, removing several open coded constructs
like switch like series of strcmp to dispatch events, etc.
Basically what had already been showcased in 'perf sched'.
- Add evsel constructor for tracepoints, that uses libtraceevent just
to parse the /format events file, use it in a new 'perf test' to
make sure the libtraceevent format parsing regressions can be more
readily caught.
- Some strange errors were happening in some builds, but not on the
next, reported by several people, problem was some parser related
files, generated during the build, didn't had proper make deps, fix
from Eric Sandeen.
- Introduce struct and cache information about the environment where
a perf.data file was captured, from Namhyung Kim.
- Fix handling of unresolved samples when --symbols is used in
'report', from Feng Tang.
- Add union member access support to 'probe', from Hyeoncheol Lee.
- Fixups to die() removal, from Namhyung Kim.
- Render fixes for the TUI, from Namhyung Kim.
- Don't enable annotation in non symbolic view, from Namhyung Kim.
- Fix pipe mode in 'report', from Namhyung Kim.
- Move related stats code from stat to util/, will be used by the
'stat' kvm tool, from Xiao Guangrong.
- Remove die()/exit() calls from several tools.
- Resolve vdso callchains, from Jiri Olsa
- Don't pass const char pointers to basename, so that we can
unconditionally use libgen.h and thus avoid ifdef BIONIC lines,
from David Ahern
- Refactor hist formatting so that it can be reused with the GTK
browser, From Namhyung Kim
- Fix build for another rbtree.c change, from Adrian Hunter.
- Make 'perf diff' command work with evsel hists, from Jiri Olsa.
- Use the only field_sep var that is set up: symbol_conf.field_sep,
fix from Jiri Olsa.
- .gitignore compiled python binaries, from Namhyung Kim.
- Get rid of die() in more libtraceevent places, from Namhyung Kim.
- Rename libtraceevent 'private' struct member to 'priv' so that it
works in C++, from Steven Rostedt
- Remove lots of exit()/die() calls from tools so that the main perf
exit routine can take place, from David Ahern
- Fix x86 build on x86-64, from David Ahern.
- {int,str,rb}list fixes from Suzuki K Poulose
- perf.data header fixes from Namhyung Kim
- Allow user to indicate objdump path, needed in cross environments,
from Maciek Borzecki
- Fix hardware cache event name generation, fix from Jiri Olsa
- Add round trip test for sw, hw and cache event names, catching the
problem Jiri fixed, after Jiri's patch, the test passes
successfully.
- Clean target should do clean for lib/traceevent too, fix from David
Ahern
- Check the right variable for allocation failure, fix from Namhyung
Kim
- Set up evsel->tp_format regardless of evsel->name being set
already, fix from Namhyung Kim
- Oprofile fixes from Robert Richter.
- Remove perf_event_attr needless version inflation, from Jiri Olsa
- Introduce libtraceevent strerror like error reporting facility,
from Namhyung Kim
- Add pmu mappings to perf.data header and use event names from cmd
line, from Robert Richter
- Fix include order for bison/flex-generated C files, from Ben
Hutchings
- Build fixes and documentation corrections from David Ahern
- Assorted cleanups from Robert Richter
- Let O= makes handle relative paths, from Steven Rostedt
- perf script python fixes, from Feng Tang.
- Initial bash completion support, from Frederic Weisbecker
- Allow building without libelf, from Namhyung Kim.
- Support DWARF CFI based unwind to have callchains when %bp based
unwinding is not possible, from Jiri Olsa.
- Symbol resolution fixes, while fixing support PPC64 files with an
.opt ELF section was the end goal, several fixes for code that
handles all architectures and cleanups are included, from Cody
Schafer.
- Assorted fixes for Documentation and build in 32 bit, from Robert
Richter
- Cache the libtraceevent event_format associated to each evsel
early, so that we avoid relookups, i.e. calling pevent_find_event
repeatedly when processing tracepoint events.
[ This is to reduce the surface contact with libtraceevents and
make clear what is that the perf tools needs from that lib: so
far parsing the common and per event fields. ]
- Don't stop the build if the audit libraries are not installed, fix
from Namhyung Kim.
- Fix bfd.h/libbfd detection with recent binutils, from Markus
Trippelsdorf.
- Improve warning message when libunwind devel packages not present,
from Jiri Olsa"

Pull RCU changes from Ingo Molnar:
0. 'idle RCU':
Adds RCU APIs that allow non-idle tasks to enter RCU idle mode and
provides x86 code to make use of them, allowing RCU to treat
user-mode execution as an extended quiescent state when the new
RCU_USER_QS kernel configuration parameter is specified. (Work is
in progress to port this to a few other architectures, but is not
part of this series.)
1. A fix for a latent bug that has been in RCU ever since the addition
of CPU stall warnings. This bug results in false-positive stall
warnings, but thus far only on embedded systems with severely
cut-down userspace configurations.
2. Further reductions in latency spikes for huge systems, along with
additional boot-time adaptation to the actual hardware.
This is a large change, as it moves RCU grace-period initialization
and cleanup, along with quiescent-state forcing, from softirq to a
kthread. However, it appears to be in quite good shape (famous
last words).
3. Updates to documentation and rcutorture, the latter category
including keeping statistics on CPU-hotplug latencies and fixing
some initialization-time races.
4. CPU-hotplug fixes and improvements.
5. Idle-loop fixes that were omitted on an earlier submission.
6. Miscellaneous fixes and improvements
In certain RCU configurations new kernel threads will show up (rcu_bh,
rcu_sched), showing RCU processing overhead.

The ACPI BGRT driver accesses the BIOS logo image when it initializes.
However, ACPI 5.0 (which introduces the BGRT) recommends putting the
logo image in EFI boot services memory, so that the OS can reclaim that
memory. Production systems follow this recommendation, breaking the
ACPI BGRT driver.
Move the bulk of the BGRT code to run during a new EFI late
initialization phase, which occurs after switching EFI to virtual mode,
and after initializing ACPI, but before freeing boot services memory.
Copy the BIOS logo image to kernel memory at that point, and make it
accessible to the BGRT driver. Rework the existing ACPI BGRT driver to
act as a simple wrapper exposing that image (and the properties from the
BGRT) via sysfs.

The EFI initialization creates virtual mappings for EFI boot services
memory, so if a driver wants to access EFI boot services memory, it
cannot call ioremap itself; doing so will trip the WARN about mapping
RAM twice. Thus, a driver accessing EFI boot services memory must do so
via the existing mapping already created during EFI intiialization.
Since the EFI code already maintains a memory map for that memory, add a
function efi_lookup_mapped_addr to look up mappings in that memory map.

As TLB shootdown requests to other CPU cores are now using function call
interrupts, TLB shootdowns entry in /proc/interrupts is always shown as 0.
This behavior change was introduced by commit 52aec3308db8 ("x86/tlb:
replace INVALIDATE_TLB_VECTOR by CALL_FUNCTION_VECTOR").
This patch reverts TLB shootdowns entry in /proc/interrupts to count TLB
shootdowns separately from the other function call interrupts.

The userspace part of UML uses the asm-offsets.h generator mechanism to
create definitions for UM_KERN_<LEVEL> that match the in-kernel
KERN_<LEVEL> constant definitions.
As of commit 04d2c8c83d0e3ac5f78aeede51babb3236200112 ("printk: convert
the format for KERN_<LEVEL> to a 2 byte pattern"), KERN_<LEVEL> is no
longer expanded to the literal '"<LEVEL>"', but to '"\001" "LEVEL"', i.e.
it contains two parts.
However, the combo of DEFINE_STR() in
arch/x86/um/shared/sysdep/kernel-offsets.h and sed-y in Kbuild doesn't
support string literals consisting of multiple parts. Hence for all
UM_KERN_<LEVEL> definitions, only the SOH character is retained in the actual
definition, while the remainder ends up in the comment. E.g. in
include/generated/asm-offsets.h we get
#define UM_KERN_INFO "\001" /* "6" KERN_INFO */
instead of
#define UM_KERN_INFO "\001" "6" /* KERN_INFO */
This causes spurious '^A' output in some kernel messages:
Calibrating delay loop... 4640.76 BogoMIPS (lpj=23203840)
pid_max: default: 32768 minimum: 301
Mount-cache hash table entries: 256
^AChecking that host ptys support output SIGIO...Yes
^AChecking that host ptys support SIGIO on close...No, enabling workaround
^AUsing 2.6 host AIO
NET: Registered protocol family 16
bio: create slab <bio-0> at 0
Switching to clocksource itimer
To fix this:
- Move the mapping from UM_KERN_<LEVEL> to KERN_<LEVEL> from
arch/um/include/shared/common-offsets.h to
arch/um/include/shared/user.h, which is preincluded for all userspace
parts,
- Preinclude include/linux/kern_levels.h for all userspace parts, to
obtain the in-kernel KERN_<LEVEL> constant definitions. This doesn't
violate the kernel/userspace separation, as include/linux/kern_levels.h
is self-contained and doesn't expose any other kernel internals.
- Remove the now unused STR() and DEFINE_STR() macros.

There is no fundamental reason why we should switch SMEP and SMAP on
during early cpu initialization just to switch them off again. Now
with %eflags and %cr4 forced to be initialized to a clean state, we
only need the one-way enable. Also, make the functions inline to make
them (somewhat) harder to abuse.
This does mean that SMEP and SMAP do not get initialized anywhere near
as early. Even using early_param() instead of __setup() doesn't give
us control early enough to do this during the early cpu initialization
phase. This seems reasonable to me, because SMEP and SMAP should not
matter until we have userspace to protect ourselves from, but it does
potentially make it possible for a bug involving a "leak of
permissions to userspace" to get uncaught.

%cr4 is supposed to reflect a set of features into which the operating
system is opting in. If the BIOS or bootloader leaks bits here, this
is not desirable. Consider a bootloader passing in %cr4.pae set to a
legacy paging kernel, for example -- it will not have any immediate
effect, but the kernel would crash when turning paging on.
A similar argument applies to %eflags, and since we have to look for
%eflags.id being settable we can use a sequence which clears %eflags
as a side effect.
Note that we already do this for x86-64.

do_notify_resume() may be called on irq or exception
exit. But at that time the exception has already called
rcu_user_enter() and the irq has already called rcu_irq_exit().
Since it can use RCU read side critical section, we must call
rcu_user_exit() before doing anything there. Then we must call
back rcu_user_enter() after this function because we know we are
going to userspace from there.
This complete support for userspace RCU extended quiescent state
in x86-64.

There is no known reason for this option to be unavailable on other
archs than x86. They just need to call enable_sched_clock_irqtime()
if they have a sufficiently finegrained clock to make it working.
Move it to the general option and let the user choose between
it and pure tick based or virtual cputime accounting.
Note that virtual cputime accounting already performs a finegrained
irqtime accounting. CONFIG_IRQ_TIME_ACCOUNTING is a kind of middle ground
between tick and virtual based accounting. So CONFIG_IRQ_TIME_ACCOUNTING
and CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING are mutually exclusive choices.

The hypervisor is in charge of allocating the proper "NUMA" memory
and dealing with the CPU scheduler to keep them bound to the proper
NUMA node. The PV guests (and PVHVM) have no inkling of where they
run and do not need to know that right now. In the future we will
need to inject NUMA configuration data (if a guest spans two or more
NUMA nodes) so that the kernel can make the right choices. But those
patches are not yet present.
In the meantime, disable the NUMA capability in the PV guest, which
also fixes a bootup issue. Andre says:
"we see Dom0 crashes due to the kernel detecting the NUMA topology not
by ACPI, but directly from the northbridge (CONFIG_AMD_NUMA).
This will detect the actual NUMA config of the physical machine, but
will crash about the mismatch with Dom0's virtual memory. Variation of
the theme: Dom0 sees what it's not supposed to see.
This happens with the said config option enabled and on a machine where
this scanning is still enabled (K8 and Fam10h, not Bulldozer class)
We have this dump then:

If arch/x86/kernel/cpuid.c is a module, a CPU might offline or online
between the for_each_online_cpu() loop and the call to
register_hotcpu_notifier in cpuid_init or the call to
unregister_hotcpu_notifier in cpuid_exit. The potential races can
lead to leaks/duplicates, attempts to destroy non-existant devices, or
random pointer dereferences.
For example, in cpuid_exit if:
for_each_online_cpu(cpu)
cpuid_device_destroy(cpu);
class_destroy(cpuid_class);
__unregister_chrdev(CPUID_MAJOR, 0, NR_CPUS, "cpu/cpuid");
<----- CPU onlines
unregister_hotcpu_notifier(&cpuid_class_cpu_notifier);
the hotcpu notifier will attempt to create a device for the
cpuid_class, which the module already destroyed.
This fix surrounds for_each_online_cpu and register_hotcpu_notifier or
unregister_hotcpu_notifier with get_online_cpus+put_online_cpus.
Tested on a VM.
