git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/egtvedt/linux-avr32 Pull AVR32 removal from Hans-Christian Noren Egtvedt: "This will remove support for AVR32 architecture from the kernel and clean away the most obvious architecture related parts. Removing dead code in drivers is the next step" Notes from previous discussion about this: "The AVR32 architecture is not keeping up with the development of the kernel, and since it shares so much of the drivers with Atmel ARM SoC, it is starting to hinder these drivers to develop swiftly. Also, all AVR32 AP7 SoC processors are end of lifed from Atmel (now Microchip). Finally, the GCC toolchain is stuck at version 4.2.x, and has not received any patches since the last release from Atmel; 4.2.4-atmel.1.1.3.avr32linux.1. When building kernel v4.10, this toolchain is no longer able to properly link the network stack. Haavard and I have came to the conclusion that we feel keeping AVR32 on life support offers more obstacles for Atmel ARMs, than it gives joy to AVR32 users. I also suspect there are very few AVR32 users left today, if anybody at all" That discussion was acked by Andy Shevchenko, Boris Brezillon, Nicolas Ferre, and Haavard Skinnemoen. * 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/egtvedt/linux-avr32: mm: remove AVR32 arch special handling in mm/Kconfig lib: remove check for AVR32 arch in test_user_copy lib: remove AVR32 entry in Kconfig.debug compile with frame pointers scripts: remove AVR32 support from checkstack.pl docs: remove all references to AVR32 architecture avr32: remove support for AVR32 architecture

Specifics: - Update the core device enumeration code to make it more internally consistent and robust and drop the force_remove sysfs attribute that could be used to tell it to ignore errors on device hot-removal which was dangerous in general and no real and still relevant use cases for it could be found (Rafael Wysocki, Michal Hocko). - Make the core device enumeration code use _PXM to associate platform devices created by it with specific NUMA nodes (Shanker Donthineni). - Extend the CPPC library by adding more sysfs entries for performance capabilities to it and making it use the lowest nonlinear performance parameter (Prashanth Prakash). - Make the CPU online more consistent with CPU initialization in the ACPI processor driver (Prashanth Prakash). - Update the AC and battery drivers to help them avoid attaching to devices that cannot be handled by them and update the axp288_charger power supply driver to work correctly on ACPI systems without the INT3496 device (Hans de Goede). - Add an ACPI operation region driver for the Intel CHT Whiskey Cove PMIC and update the xpower operation region driver to work without IIO which isn't really necessary for it to work (Hans de Goede). - Add a new entry for Dell Inspiron 7537 to the _REV quirk blacklist (Kai Heng Feng). - Make the code in the ACPI video driver easier to follow by adding symbols and comments to it (Dmitry Frank). - Update ACPI documentation and drop a function that has no users from the tables-handling code (Cao jin, Baoquan He)" * tag 'acpi-4.12-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm: ACPI / PMIC: Stop xpower OPRegion handler relying on IIO ACPI / PMIC: Add opregion driver for Intel CHT Whiskey Cove PMIC ACPI / scan: Avoid enumerating devices more than once ACPI / scan: Apply default enumeration to devices with ACPI drivers power: supply: axp288_charger: Only wait for INT3496 device if present ACPI / AC: Add a blacklist with PMIC ACPI HIDs with a native charger driver ACPI / battery: Add a blacklist with PMIC ACPI HIDs with a native battery driver ACPI / battery: Fix acpi_battery_exit on acpi_battery_init_async errors ACPI / utils: Add new acpi_dev_present helper ACPI / video: add comments about subtle cases ACPI / video: get rid of magic numbers and use enum instead ACPI / doc: linuxized-acpica.txt: fix typos ACPI / blacklist: add _REV quirk for Dell Inspiron 7537 ACPI / tables: Drop acpi_parse_entries() which is not used ACPI / CPPC: add sysfs entries for CPPC perf capabilities ACPI / CPPC: Read lowest nonlinear perf in cppc_get_perf_caps() ACPI / platform: Update platform device NUMA node based on _PXM method ACPI / Processor: Drop setup_max_cpus check from acpi_processor_add() ACPI / scan: Drop support for force_remove

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm Pull power management updates from Rafael Wysocki: "This time the majority of changes go to the cpufreq subsystem (and to the intel_pstate driver in particular) and there are some updates in the generic power domains framework, cpuidle, tools and a couple of other places. One thing worth mentioning is that the intel_pstate's sysfs interface has been reworked to be more consistent with the general expectations of the cpufreq core and less confusing, hopefully for the better. Also, we have a new cpufreq driver for Tegra186 and new hardware support in intel_pstata and the Mediatek cpufreq driver. Apart from that, the AnalyzeSuspend utility for system suspend profiling gets a companion called AnalyzeBoot for the analogous profiling of system boot and they both go into one place under tools/power/pm-graph/. The rest is mostly fixes, cleanups and code reorganization. Specifics: - Rework the intel_pstate driver's sysfs interface to make it more straightforward and more intuitive (Rafael Wysocki). - Make intel_pstate support all processors which advertise HWP (hardware-managed P-states) to the kernel in all operation modes and make it use the load-based P-state selection algorithm on a wider range of systems in the active mode (Rafael Wysocki). - Add cpufreq driver for Tegra186 (Mikko Perttunen). - Add support for Gemini Lake SoCs to intel_pstate (David Box). - Add support for MT8176 and MT817x to the Mediatek cpufreq driver and clean up that driver a bit (Daniel Kurtz). - Clean up intel_pstate and optimize it slightly (Rafael Wysocki). - Update the schedutil cpufreq governor, mostly to fix a couple of issues with it related to specific workloads, and rework its sysfs tunable and initialization a bit (Rafael Wysocki, Viresh Kumar). - Fix minor issues in the imx6q, dbx500 and qoriq cpufreq drivers (Christophe Jaillet, Irina Tirdea, Leonard Crestez, Viresh Kumar, YuanTian Tang). - Add file patterns for cpufreq DT bindings to MAINTAINERS (Geert Uytterhoeven). - Add support for "always on" power domains to the genpd (generic power domains) framework and clean up that code somewhat (Ulf Hansson, Lina Iyer, Viresh Kumar). - Fix minor issues in the powernv cpuidle driver and clean it up (Anton Blanchard, Gautham Shenoy). - Move the AnalyzeSuspend utility under tools/power/pm-graph/ and add an analogous boot-profiling utility called AnalyzeBoot to it (Todd Brandt). - Add rk3328 support to the rockchip-io AVS (Adaptive Voltage Scaling) driver (David Wu). - Fix minor issues in the cpuidle core, the intel_pstate_tracer utility, the devfreq framework and the PM core documentation (Chanwoo Choi, Doug Smythies, Johan Hovold, Marcin Nowakowski)" * tag 'pm-4.12-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm: (56 commits) PM / runtime: Document autosuspend-helper side effects PM / runtime: Fix autosuspend documentation tools: power: pm-graph: Package makefile and man pages tools: power: pm-graph: AnalyzeBoot v2.0 tools: power: pm-graph: AnalyzeSuspend v4.6 cpufreq: Add Tegra186 cpufreq driver cpufreq: imx6q: Fix error handling code cpufreq: imx6q: Set max suspend_freq to avoid changes during suspend cpufreq: imx6q: Fix handling EPROBE_DEFER from regulator cpuidle: powernv: Avoid a branch in the core snooze_loop() loop cpuidle: powernv: Don't continually set thread priority in snooze_loop() cpuidle: powernv: Don't bounce between low and very low thread priority cpuidle: cpuidle-cps: remove unused variable tools/power/x86/intel_pstate_tracer: Adjust directory ownership cpufreq: schedutil: Use policy-dependent transition delays cpufreq: schedutil: Reduce frequencies slower PM / devfreq: Move struct devfreq_governor to devfreq directory PM / Domains: Ignore domain-idle-states that are not compatible cpufreq: intel_pstate: Add support for Gemini Lake powernv-cpuidle: Validate DT property array size ...

Includes a 'pblk' target that exposes an open channel SSD as a physical block device. - A series of fixes and improvements for nbd from Josef. - A series from Omar, removing queue sharing between devices on mostly legacy drivers. This helps us clean up other bits, if we know that a queue only has a single device backing. This has been overdue for more than a decade. - Fixes for the blk-stats, and improvements to unify the stats and user windows. This both improves blk-wbt, and enables other users to register a need to receive IO stats for a device. From Omar. - blk-throttle improvements from Shaohua. This provides a scalable framework for implementing scalable priotization - particularly for blk-mq, but applicable to any type of block device. The interface is marked experimental for now. - Bucketized IO stats for IO polling from Stephen Bates. This improves efficiency of polled workloads in the presence of mixed block size IO. - A few fixes for opal, from Scott. - A few pulls for NVMe, including a lot of fixes for NVMe-over-fabrics.

2017-04-19PM / runtime: Document autosuspend-helper side effectsJohan Hovold
Document the fact that the autosuspend delay and enable helpers may change the power.usage_count and resume or suspend a device depending on the values of power.autosuspend_delay and power.use_autosuspend. Note that this means that a driver must disable autosuspend before disabling runtime pm on probe errors and on driver unbind if the device is to be suspended upon return (as a negative delay may otherwise keep the device resumed).

2017-04-19PM / runtime: Fix autosuspend documentationJohan Hovold
Update the autosuspend documentation which claimed that the autosuspend delay is not taken into account when using the non-autosuspend helper functions, something which is no longer true since commit d66e6db28df3 ("PM / Runtime: Respect autosuspend when idle triggers suspend"). This specifically means that drivers must now disable autosuspend before disabling runtime pm in probe error paths and remove callbacks if pm_runtime_put_sync was being used to suspend the device before returning. (If an idle callback can prevent suspend, pm_runtime_put_sync_suspend must be used instead of pm_runtime_put_sync as before.) Also remove the claim that the autosuspend helpers behave "just like the non-autosuspend counterparts", something which have never really been true as some of the latter use idle notifications.

2017-04-19block, bfq: improve responsivenessPaolo Valente
This patch introduces a simple heuristic to load applications quickly, and to perform the I/O requested by interactive applications just as quickly. To this purpose, both a newly-created queue and a queue associated with an interactive application (we explain in a moment how BFQ decides whether the associated application is interactive), receive the following two special treatments: 1) The weight of the queue is raised. 2) The queue unconditionally enjoys device idling when it empties; in fact, if the requests of a queue are sync, then performing device idling for the queue is a necessary condition to guarantee that the queue receives a fraction of the throughput proportional to its weight (see [1] for details). For brevity, we call just weight-raising the combination of these two preferential treatments. For a newly-created queue, weight-raising starts immediately and lasts for a time interval that: 1) depends on the device speed and type (rotational or non-rotational), and 2) is equal to the time needed to load (start up) a large-size application on that device, with cold caches and with no additional workload. Finally, as for guaranteeing a fast execution to interactive, I/O-related tasks (such as opening a file), consider that any interactive application blocks and waits for user input both after starting up and after executing some task. After a while, the user may trigger new operations, after which the application stops again, and so on. Accordingly, the low-latency heuristic weight-raises again a queue in case it becomes backlogged after being idle for a sufficiently long (configurable) time. The weight-raising then lasts for the same time as for a just-created queue. According to our experiments, the combination of this low-latency heuristic and of the improvements described in the previous patch allows BFQ to guarantee a high application responsiveness. [1] P.

2017-04-19block, bfq: add full hierarchical scheduling and cgroups supportArianna Avanzini
Add complete support for full hierarchical scheduling, with a cgroups interface. Full hierarchical scheduling is implemented through the 'entity' abstraction: both bfq_queues, i.e., the internal BFQ queues associated with processes, and groups are represented in general by entities. Given the bfq_queues associated with the processes belonging to a given group, the entities representing these queues are sons of the entity representing the group. At higher levels, if a group, say G, contains other groups, then the entity representing G is the parent entity of the entities representing the groups in G. Hierarchical scheduling is performed as follows: if the timestamps of a leaf entity (i.e., of a bfq_queue) change, and such a change lets the entity become the next-to-serve entity for its parent entity, then the timestamps of the parent entity are recomputed as a function of the budget of its new next-to-serve leaf entity. If the parent entity belongs, in its turn, to a group, and its new timestamps let it become the next-to-serve for its parent entity, then the timestamps of the latter parent entity are recomputed as well, and so on. When a new bfq_queue must be set in service, the reverse path is followed: the next-to-serve highest-level entity is chosen, then its next-to-serve child entity, and so on, until the next-to-serve leaf entity is reached, and the bfq_queue that this entity represents is set in service. Writeback is accounted for on a per-group basis, i.e., for each group, the async I/O requests of the processes of the group are enqueued in a distinct bfq_queue, and the entity associated with this queue is a child of the entity associated with the group. Weights can be assigned explicitly to groups and processes through the cgroups interface, differently from what happens, for single processes, if the cgroups interface is not used (as explained in the description of the previous patch). In particular, since each node has a full scheduler, each group can be assigned its own weight.

2017-04-19block, bfq: introduce the BFQ-v0 I/O scheduler as an extra schedulerPaolo Valente
We tag as v0 the version of BFQ containing only BFQ's engine plus hierarchical support. BFQ's engine is introduced by this commit, while hierarchical support is added by next commit. We use the v0 tag to distinguish this minimal version of BFQ from the versions containing also the features and the improvements added by next commits. BFQ-v0 coincides with the version of BFQ submitted a few years ago [1], apart from the introduction of preemption, described below. BFQ is a proportional-share I/O scheduler, whose general structure, plus a lot of code, are borrowed from CFQ. - Each process doing I/O on a device is associated with a weight and a (bfq_)queue. - BFQ grants exclusive access to the device, for a while, to one queue (process) at a time, and implements this service model by associating every queue with a budget, measured in number of sectors. - After a queue is granted access to the device, the budget of the queue is decremented, on each request dispatch, by the size of the request. - The in-service queue is expired, i.e., its service is suspended, only if one of the following events occurs: 1) the queue finishes its budget, 2) the queue empties, 3) a "budget timeout" fires. - The budget timeout prevents processes doing random I/O from holding the device for too long and dramatically reducing throughput. - Actually, as in CFQ, a queue associated with a process issuing sync requests may not be expired immediately when it empties. In contrast, BFQ may idle the device for a short time interval, giving the process the chance to go on being served if it issues a new request in time. Device idling typically boosts the throughput on rotational devices, if processes do synchronous and sequential I/O. In addition, under BFQ, device idling is also instrumental in guaranteeing the desired throughput fraction to processes issuing sync requests (see [2] for details). - With respect to idling for service guarantees, if several processes are competing for the device at the same time, but all processes (and groups, after the following commit) have the same weight, then BFQ guarantees the expected throughput distribution without ever idling the device. Throughput is thus as high as possible in this common scenario. - Queues are scheduled according to a variant of WF2Q+, named B-WF2Q+, and implemented using an augmented rb-tree to preserve an O(log N) overall complexity. See [2] for more details. B-WF2Q+ is also ready for hierarchical scheduling. However, for a cleaner logical breakdown, the code that enables and completes hierarchical support is provided in the next commit, which focuses exactly on this feature. - B-WF2Q+ guarantees a tight deviation with respect to an ideal, perfectly fair, and smooth service. In particular, B-WF2Q+ guarantees that each queue receives a fraction of the device throughput proportional to its weight, even if the throughput
