Currently, every arch/*/include/uapi/asm/Kbuild explicitly includes
the common Kbuild.asm file. Factor out the duplicated include directives
to scripts/Makefile.asm-generic so that no architecture would opt out
of the mandatory-y mechanism.
um is not forced to include mandatory-y since it is a very exceptional
case which does not support UAPI.

The generic-y is redundant under the following condition:
- arch has its own implementation
- the same header is added to generated-y
- the same header is added to mandatory-y
If a redundant generic-y is found, the warning like follows is displayed:
scripts/Makefile.asm-generic:20: redundant generic-y found in arch/arm/include/asm/Kbuild: timex.h
I fixed up arch Kbuild files found by this.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/brauner/linux
Pull pidfd system call from Christian Brauner:
"This introduces the ability to use file descriptors from /proc/<pid>/
as stable handles on struct pid. Even if a pid is recycled the handle
will not change. For a start these fds can be used to send signals to
the processes they refer to.
With the ability to use /proc/<pid> fds as stable handles on struct
pid we can fix a long-standing issue where after a process has exited
its pid can be reused by another process. If a caller sends a signal
to a reused pid it will end up signaling the wrong process.
With this patchset we enable a variety of use cases. One obvious
example is that we can now safely delegate an important part of
process management - sending signals - to processes other than the
parent of a given process by sending file descriptors around via scm
rights and not fearing that the given process will have been recycled
in the meantime. It also allows for easy testing whether a given
process is still alive or not by sending signal 0 to a pidfd which is
quite handy.
There has been some interest in this feature e.g. from systems
management (systemd, glibc) and container managers. I have requested
and gotten comments from glibc to make sure that this syscall is
suitable for their needs as well. In the future I expect it to take on
most other pid-based signal syscalls. But such features are left for
the future once they are needed.
This has been sitting in linux-next for quite a while and has not
caused any issues. It comes with selftests which verify basic
functionality and also test that a recycled pid cannot be signaled via
a pidfd.
Jon has written about a prior version of this patchset. It should
cover the basic functionality since not a lot has changed since then:
https://lwn.net/Articles/773459/
The commit message for the syscall itself is extensively documenting
the syscall, including it's functionality and extensibility"

This reverts commit 71883a62fcd6c70639fa12cda733378b4d997409.
The above commit contains an optimization to kvm_zap_gfn_range which
uses gfn-limited TLB flushes, if enabled. If using these limited flushes,
kvm_zap_gfn_range passes lock_flush_tlb=false to slot_handle_level_range
which creates a race when the function unlocks to call cond_resched.
See an example of this race below:
CPU 0 CPU 1 CPU 3
// zap_direct_gfn_range
mmu_lock()
// *ptep == pte_1
*ptep = 0
if (lock_flush_tlb)
flush_tlbs()
mmu_unlock()
// In invalidate range
// MMU notifier
mmu_lock()
if (pte != 0)
*ptep = 0
flush = true
if (flush)
flush_remote_tlbs()
mmu_unlock()
return
// Host MM reallocates
// page previously
// backing guest memory.
// Guest accesses
// invalid page
// through pte_1
// in its TLB!!
Tested: Ran all kvm-unit-tests on a Intel Haswell machine with and

Pull vfs mount infrastructure updates from Al Viro:
"The rest of core infrastructure; no new syscalls in that pile, but the
old parts are switched to new infrastructure. At that point
conversions of individual filesystems can happen independently; some
are done here (afs, cgroup, procfs, etc.), there's also a large series
outside of that pile dealing with NFS (quite a bit of option-parsing
stuff is getting used there - it's one of the most convoluted
filesystems in terms of mount-related logics), but NFS bits are the
next cycle fodder.
It got seriously simplified since the last cycle; documentation is
probably the weakest bit at the moment - I considered dropping the
commit introducing Documentation/filesystems/mount_api.txt (cutting
the size increase by quarter ;-), but decided that it would be better
to fix it up after -rc1 instead.
That pile allows to do followup work in independent branches, which
should make life much easier for the next cycle. fs/super.c size
increase is unpleasant; there's a followup series that allows to
shrink it considerably, but I decided to leave that until the next
cycle"

Add check for the return value of memblock_alloc*() functions and call
panic() in case of error. The panic message repeats the one used by
panicing memblock allocators with adjustment of parameters to include
only relevant ones.
The replacement was mostly automated with semantic patches like the one
below with manual massaging of format strings.

The __memblock_alloc_base() function tries to allocate a memory up to
the limit specified by its max_addr parameter. Depending on the value
of this parameter, the __memblock_alloc_base() can is replaced with the
appropriate memblock_phys_alloc*() variant.

Pull x86 tsx fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
"This update provides kernel side handling for the TSX erratum of Intel
Skylake (and later) CPUs.
On these CPUs Intel Transactional Synchronization Extensions (TSX)
functions can result in unpredictable system behavior under certain
circumstances.
The issue is mitigated with an microcode update which utilizes
Performance Monitoring Counter (PMC) 3 when TSX functions are in use.
This mitigation is enabled unconditionally by the updated microcode.
As a consequence the usage of TSX functions can cause corrupted
performance monitoring results for events which utilize PMC3. The
corruption is silent on kernels which have no update for this issue.
This update makes the kernel aware of the PMC3 utilization by the
microcode:
The microcode offers a possibility to enforce TSX abort which prevents
the malfunction and frees up PMC3. The enforced TSX abort requires the
TSX using application to have a software fallback path implemented;
abort handlers which solely retry the transaction will fail over and
over.
The enforced TSX abort request is issued by the kernel when:
- enforced TSX abort is enabled (PMU attribute)
- A performance monitoring request needs PMC3
When PMC3 is not longer used by the kernel the TSX force abort request
is cleared.
The enforced TSX abort mechanism is enabled by default and can be
controlled by the administrator via the new PMU attribute
'allow_tsx_force_abort'. This attribute is only visible when updated
microcode is detected on affected systems. Writing '0' disables the
enforced TSX abort mechanism, '1' enables it.
As a result of disabling the enforced TSX abort mechanism, PMC3 is
permanentely unavailable for performance monitoring which can cause
performance monitoring requests to fail or switch to multiplexing
mode"

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
"The biggest change for this release is in the histogram code:
- Add "onchange(var)" histogram handler that executes a action when
$var changes.
- Add new "snapshot()" action for histogram handlers, that causes a
snapshot of the ring buffer when triggered. ie.
onchange(var).snapshot() will trigger a snapshot if var changes.
- Add alternative for "trace()" action. Currently, to trigger a
synthetic event, the name of that event is used as the handler
name, which is inconsistent with the other actions.
onchange(var).synthetic(param) where it can now be
onchange(var).trace(synthetic, param). The older method will still
be allowed, as long as the synthetic events do not overlap with
other handler names.
- The histogram documentation at testcases were updated for the new
changes.
Outside of the histogram code, we have:
- Added a quicker way to enable set_ftrace_filter files, that will
make it much quicker to bisect tracing a function that shouldn't be
traced and crashes the kernel. (You can echo in numbers to
set_ftrace_filter, and it will select the corresponding function
that is in available_filter_functions).
- Some better displaying of the tracing data (and more information
was added).
The rest are small fixes and more clean ups to the code"

50.001142480 6.97 MiB uncore_imc/data_writes/
The client IMC events are freerunning counters. They still use the
old event encoding format (0x1 for data_read and 0x2 for data write).
The counter bit width is calculated by common code, which assume that
the standard encoding format is used for the freerunning counters.
Error bit width information is calculated.
The patch intends to convert the old client IMC event encoding to the
standard encoding format.
Current common code uses event->attr.config which directly copy from
user space. We should not implicitly modify it for a converted event.
The event->hw.config is used to replace the event->attr.config in
common code.
For client IMC events, the event->attr.config is used to calculate a
converted event with standard encoding format in the custom
event_init(). The converted event is stored in event->hw.config.
For other events of freerunning counters, they already use the standard
encoding format. The same value as event->attr.config is assigned to
event->hw.config in common event_init().

Pull io_uring IO interface from Jens Axboe:
"Second attempt at adding the io_uring interface.
Since the first one, we've added basic unit testing of the three
system calls, that resides in liburing like the other unit tests that
we have so far. It'll take a while to get full coverage of it, but
we're working towards it. I've also added two basic test programs to
tools/io_uring. One uses the raw interface and has support for all the
various features that io_uring supports outside of standard IO, like
fixed files, fixed IO buffers, and polled IO. The other uses the
liburing API, and is a simplified version of cp(1).
This adds support for a new IO interface, io_uring.
io_uring allows an application to communicate with the kernel through
two rings, the submission queue (SQ) and completion queue (CQ) ring.
This allows for very efficient handling of IOs, see the v5 posting for
some basic numbers:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-block/20190116175003.17880-1-axboe@kernel.dk/
Outside of just efficiency, the interface is also flexible and
extendable, and allows for future use cases like the upcoming NVMe
key-value store API, networked IO, and so on. It also supports async
buffered IO, something that we've always failed to support in the
kernel.
Outside of basic IO features, it supports async polled IO as well.
This particular feature has already been tested at Facebook months ago
for flash storage boxes, with 25-33% improvements. It makes polled IO
actually useful for real world use cases, where even basic flash sees
a nice win in terms of efficiency, latency, and performance. These
boxes were IOPS bound before, now they are not.
This series adds three new system calls. One for setting up an
io_uring instance (io_uring_setup(2)), one for submitting/completing
IO (io_uring_enter(2)), and one for aux functions like registrating
file sets, buffers, etc (io_uring_register(2)). Through the help of
Arnd, I've coordinated the syscall numbers so merge on that front
should be painless.
Jon did a writeup of the interface a while back, which (except for
minor details that have been tweaked) is still accurate. Find that
here:
https://lwn.net/Articles/776703/
Huge thanks to Al Viro for helping getting the reference cycle code
correct, and to Jann Horn for his extensive reviews focused on both
security and bugs in general.
There's a userspace library that provides basic functionality for
applications that don't need or want to care about how to fiddle with
the rings directly. It has helpers to allow applications to easily set
up an io_uring instance, and submit/complete IO through it without
knowing about the intricacies of the rings. It also includes man pages
(thanks to Jeff Moyer), and will continue to grow support helper
functions and features as time progresses. Find it here:
git://git.kernel.dk/liburing
Fio has full support for the raw interface, both in the form of an IO
engine (io_uring), but also with a small test application (t/io_uring)
that can exercise and benchmark the interface"
