Pull x86 fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
"A set of fixes and updates for x86:
- Address a swiotlb regression which was caused by the recent DMA
rework and made driver fail because dma_direct_supported() returned
false
- Fix a signedness bug in the APIC ID validation which caused invalid
APIC IDs to be detected as valid thereby bloating the CPU possible
space.
- Fix inconsisten config dependcy/select magic for the MFD_CS5535
driver.
- Fix a corruption of the physical address space bits when encryption
has reduced the address space and late cpuinfo updates overwrite
the reduced bit information with the original value.
- Dominiks syscall rework which consolidates the architecture
specific syscall functions so all syscalls can be wrapped with the
same macros. This allows to switch x86/64 to struct pt_regs based
syscalls. Extend the clearing of user space controlled registers in
the entry patch to the lower registers"

The code to verify the new kernels sha digest is applicable for all
architectures. Move it to common code.
One problem is the string.c implementation on x86. Currently sha256
includes x86/boot/string.h which defines memcpy and memset to be gcc
builtins. By moving the sha256 implementation to common code and
changing the include to linux/string.h both functions are no longer
defined. Thus definitions have to be provided in x86/purgatory/string.c

For s390 new kernels are loaded to fixed addresses in memory before they
are booted. With the current code this is a problem as it assumes the
kernel will be loaded to an 'arbitrary' address. In particular,
kexec_locate_mem_hole searches for a large enough memory region and sets
the load address (kexec_bufer->mem) to it.
Luckily there is a simple workaround for this problem. By returning 1
in arch_kexec_walk_mem, kexec_locate_mem_hole is turned off. This
allows the architecture to set kbuf->mem by hand. While the trick works
fine for the kernel it does not for the purgatory as here the
architectures don't have access to its kexec_buffer.
Give architectures access to the purgatories kexec_buffer by changing
kexec_load_purgatory to take a pointer to it. With this change
architectures have access to the buffer and can edit it as they need.
A nice side effect of this change is that we can get rid of the
purgatory_info->purgatory_load_address field. As now the information
stored there can directly be accessed from kbuf->mem.

When the relocations are applied to the purgatory only the section the
relocations are applied to is writable. The other sections, i.e. the
symtab and .rel/.rela, are in read-only kexec_purgatory. Highlight this
by marking the corresponding variables as 'const'.
While at it also change the signatures of arch_kexec_apply_relocations* to
take section pointers instead of just the index of the relocation section.
This removes the second lookup and sanity check of the sections in arch
code.

The kexec_purgatory buffer is read-only. Thus all pointers into
kexec_purgatory are read-only, too. Point this out by explicitly
marking purgatory_info->ehdr as 'const' and update the comments in
purgatory_info.

Patch series "kexec_file: Clean up purgatory load", v2.
Following the discussion with Dave and AKASHI, here are the common code
patches extracted from my recent patch set (Add kexec_file_load support
to s390) [1]. The patches were extracted to allow upstream integration
together with AKASHI's common code patches before the arch code gets
adjusted to the new base.
The reason for this series is to prepare common code for adding
kexec_file_load to s390 as well as cleaning up the mis-use of the
sh_offset field during purgatory load. In detail this series contains:
Patch #1&2: Minor cleanups/fixes.
Patch #3-9: Clean up the purgatory load/relocation code. Especially
remove the mis-use of the purgatory_info->sechdrs->sh_offset field,
currently holding a pointer into either kexec_purgatory (ro) or
purgatory_buf (rw) depending on the section. With these patches the
section address will be calculated verbosely and sh_offset will contain
the offset of the section in the stripped purgatory binary
(purgatory_buf).
Patch #10: Allows architectures to set the purgatory load address. This
patch is important for s390 as the kernel and purgatory have to be
loaded to fixed addresses. In current code this is impossible as the
purgatory load is opaque to the architecture.
Patch #11: Moves x86 purgatories sha implementation to common lib/
directory to allow reuse in other architectures.
This patch (of 11)
When building the kernel with CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE enabled gcc prints a
compile warning multiple times.
In file included from <path>/linux/init/initramfs.c:526:0:
<path>/include/linux/kexec.h:120:9: warning: `struct kimage' declared inside parameter list [enabled by default]
unsigned long cmdline_len);
^
This is because the typedefs for kexec_file_load uses struct kimage
before it is declared. Fix this by simply forward declaring struct
kimage.

In the previous patches, commonly-used routines, exclude_mem_range() and
prepare_elf64_headers(), were carved out. Now place them in kexec
common code. A prefix "crash_" is given to each of their names to avoid
possible name collisions.

As arch_kexec_kernel_image_{probe,load}(),
arch_kimage_file_post_load_cleanup() and arch_kexec_kernel_verify_sig()
are almost duplicated among architectures, they can be commonalized with
an architecture-defined kexec_file_ops array. So let's factor them out.

Pull clk updates from Stephen Boyd:
"The large diff this time around is from the addition of a new clk
driver for the TI Davinci family of SoCs. So far those clks have been
supported with a custom implementation of the clk API in the arch port
instead of in the CCF. With this driver merged we're one step closer
to having a single clk API implementation.
The other large diff is from the Amlogic clk driver that underwent
some major surgery to use regmap. Beyond that, the biggest hitter is
Samsung which needed some reworks to properly handle clk provider
power domains and a bunch of PLL rate updates.
The core framework was fairly quiet this round, just getting some
cleanups and small fixes for some of the more esoteric features. And
the usual set of driver non-critical fixes, cleanups, and minor
additions are here as well.
Core:
- Rejig clk_ops::init() to be a little earlier for phase/accuracy ops
- debugfs ops macroized to shave some lines of boilerplate code
- Always calculate the phase instead of caching it in clk_get_phase()
- More __must_check on bulk clk APIs
New Drivers:
- TI's Davinci family of SoCs
- Intel's Stratix10 SoC
- stm32mp157 SoC
- Allwinner H6 CCU
- Silicon Labs SI544 clock generator chip
- Renesas R-Car M3-N and V3H SoCs
- i.MX6SLL SoCs
Removed Drivers:
- ST-Ericsson AB8540/9540
Updates:
- Mediatek MT2701 and MT7622 audsys support and MT2712 updates
- STM32F469 DSI and STM32F769 sdmmc2 support
- GPIO clks can sleep now
- Spreadtrum SC9860 RTC clks
- Nvidia Tegra MBIST workarounds and various minor fixes
- Rockchip phase handling fixes and a memory leak plugged
- Renesas drivers switch to readl/writel from clk_readl/clk_writel
- Renesas gained CPU (Z/Z2) and watchdog support
- Rockchip rk3328 display clks and rk3399 1.6GHz PLL support
- Qualcomm PM8921 PMIC XO buffers
- Amlogic migrates to regmap APIs
- TI Keystone clk latching support
- Allwinner H3 and H5 video clk fixes
- Broadcom BCM2835 PLLs needed another bit to enable

Pull asm-generic fixes from Arnd Bergmann:
"I have one regression fix for a minor build problem after the
architecture removal series, plus a rework of the barriers in the
readl/writel functions, thanks to work by Sinan Kaya:
This started from a discussion on the linuxpcc and rdma mailing
lists[1]. To summarize, we decided that architectures are responsible
to serialize readl() and writel() accesses on a device MMIO space
relative to DMA performed by that device.
This series provides a pessimistic implementation of that behavior for
asm-generic/io.h, which is in turn used by a number of architectures
(h8300, microblaze, nios2, openrisc, s390, sparc, um, unicore32, and
xtensa). Some of those presumably need no extra barriers, or something
weaker than rmb()/wmb(), and they are advised to override the new
default for better performance.
For inb()/outb(), the same barriers are used, but architectures might
want to add another barrier to outb() here if that can guarantee
non-posted behavior (some architectures can, others cannot do that).
The readl_relaxed()/writel_relaxed() family of functions retains the
existing behavior with no extra barriers"

Pull more power management updates from Rafael Wysocki:
"These include one big-ticket item which is the rework of the idle loop
in order to prevent CPUs from spending too much time in shallow idle
states. It reduces idle power on some systems by 10% or more and may
improve performance of workloads in which the idle loop overhead
matters. This has been in the works for several weeks and it has been
tested and reviewed quite thoroughly.
Also included are changes that finalize the cpufreq cleanup moving
frequency table validation from drivers to the core, a few fixes and
cleanups of cpufreq drivers, a cpuidle documentation update and a PM
QoS core update to mark the expected switch fall-throughs in it.
Specifics:
- Rework the idle loop in order to prevent CPUs from spending too
much time in shallow idle states by making it stop the scheduler
tick before putting the CPU into an idle state only if the idle
duration predicted by the idle governor is long enough.
That required the code to be reordered to invoke the idle governor
before stopping the tick, among other things (Rafael Wysocki,
Frederic Weisbecker, Arnd Bergmann).
- Add the missing description of the residency sysfs attribute to the
cpuidle documentation (Prashanth Prakash).
- Finalize the cpufreq cleanup moving frequency table validation from
drivers to the core (Viresh Kumar).
- Fix a clock leak regression in the armada-37xx cpufreq driver
(Gregory Clement).
- Fix the initialization of the CPU performance data structures for
shared policies in the CPPC cpufreq driver (Shunyong Yang).
- Clean up the ti-cpufreq, intel_pstate and CPPC cpufreq drivers a
bit (Viresh Kumar, Rafael Wysocki).

Silva)"

This results in no change in structure size on 64-bit machines as it
fits in the padding between the gfp_t and the void *. 32-bit machines
will grow the structure from 8 to 12 bytes. Almost all radix trees are
protected with (at least) a spinlock, so as they are converted from
radix trees to xarrays, the data structures will shrink again.
Initialising the spinlock requires a name for the benefit of lockdep, so
RADIX_TREE_INIT() now needs to know the name of the radix tree it's
initialising, and so do IDR_INIT() and IDA_INIT().
Also add the xa_lock() and xa_unlock() family of wrappers to make it
easier to use the lock. If we could rely on -fplan9-extensions in the
compiler, we could avoid all of this syntactic sugar, but that wasn't
added until gcc 4.6.

Patch series "XArray", v9. (First part thereof).
This patchset is, I believe, appropriate for merging for 4.17. It
contains the XArray implementation, to eventually replace the radix
tree, and converts the page cache to use it.
This conversion keeps the radix tree and XArray data structures in sync
at all times. That allows us to convert the page cache one function at
a time and should allow for easier bisection. Other than renaming some
elements of the structures, the data structures are fundamentally
unchanged; a radix tree walk and an XArray walk will touch the same
number of cachelines. I have changes planned to the XArray data
structure, but those will happen in future patches.
Improvements the XArray has over the radix tree:
- The radix tree provides operations like other trees do; 'insert' and
'delete'. But what most users really want is an automatically
resizing array, and so it makes more sense to give users an API that
is like an array -- 'load' and 'store'. We still have an 'insert'
operation for users that really want that semantic.
- The XArray considers locking as part of its API. This simplifies a
lot of users who formerly had to manage their own locking just for
the radix tree. It also improves code generation as we can now tell
RCU that we're holding a lock and it doesn't need to generate as much
fencing code. The other advantage is that tree nodes can be moved
(not yet implemented).
- GFP flags are now parameters to calls which may need to allocate
memory. The radix tree forced users to decide what the allocation
flags would be at creation time. It's much clearer to specify them at
allocation time.
- Memory is not preloaded; we don't tie up dozens of pages on the off
chance that the slab allocator fails. Instead, we drop the lock,
allocate a new node and retry the operation. We have to convert all
the radix tree, IDA and IDR preload users before we can realise this
benefit, but I have not yet found a user which cannot be converted.
- The XArray provides a cmpxchg operation. The radix tree forces users
to roll their own (and at least four have).
- Iterators take a 'max' parameter. That simplifies many users and will
reduce the amount of iteration done.
- Iteration can proceed backwards. We only have one user for this, but
since it's called as part of the pagefault readahead algorithm, that
seemed worth mentioning.
- RCU-protected pointers are not exposed as part of the API. There are
some fun bugs where the page cache forgets to use rcu_dereference()
in the current codebase.
- Value entries gain an extra bit compared to radix tree exceptional
entries. That gives us the extra bit we need to put huge page swap
entries in the page cache.
- Some iterators now take a 'filter' argument instead of having
separate iterators for tagged/untagged iterations.
The page cache is improved by this:
- Shorter, easier to read code
- More efficient iterations
- Reduction in size of struct address_space
- Fewer walks from the top of the data structure; the XArray API
encourages staying at the leaf node and conducting operations there.
This patch (of 8):
None of these bits may be used for slab allocations, so we can use them
as radix tree flags as long as we mask them off before passing them to
the slab allocator. Move the IDR flag from the high bits to the
GFP_ZONEMASK bits.

ARM, ARM64 and UniCore32 duplicate the definition of UL():
#define UL(x) _AC(x, UL)
This is not actually arch-specific, so it will be useful to move it to a
common header. Currently, we only have the uapi variant for
linux/const.h, so I am creating include/linux/const.h.
I also added _UL(), _ULL() and ULL() because _AC() is mostly used in
the form either _AC(..., UL) or _AC(..., ULL). I expect they will be
replaced in follow-up cleanups. The underscore-prefixed ones should
be used for exported headers.

Patch series "linux/const.h: cleanups of macros such as UL(), _BITUL(),
BIT() etc", v3.
ARM, ARM64, UniCore32 define UL() as a shorthand of _AC(..., UL). More
architectures may introduce it in the future.
UL() is arch-agnostic, and useful. So let's move it to
include/linux/const.h
Currently, <asm/memory.h> must be included to use UL(). It pulls in more
bloats just for defining some bit macros.
I posted V2 one year ago.
The previous posts are:
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9498273/
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9498275/
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9498269/
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9498271/
At that time, what blocked this series was a comment from
David Howells:
You need to be very careful doing this. Some userspace stuff
depends on the guard macro names on the kernel header files.
(https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9498275/)
Looking at the code closer, I noticed this is not a problem.
See the following line.
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/v4.16-rc2/scripts/headers_install.sh#L40
scripts/headers_install.sh rips off _UAPI prefix from guard macro names.
I ran "make headers_install" and confirmed the result is what I expect.
So, we can prefix the include guard of include/uapi/linux/const.h,
and add a new include/linux/const.h.
This patch (of 4):
I am going to add include/linux/const.h for the kernel space.
Add _UAPI to the include guard of include/uapi/linux/const.h to
prepare for that.
Please notice the guard name of the exported one will be kept as-is.
So, this commit has no impact to the userspace even if some userspace
stuff depends on the guard macro names.
