Pull device properties framework updates from Rafael Wysocki:
"These introduce fwnode operations for all of the separate types of
'firmware nodes' that can be handled by the device properties
framework, make the framework use const fwnode arguments all over, add
a helper for the consolidated handling of node references and switch
over the framework to the new UUID API.
Specifics:
- Introduce fwnode operations for all of the separate types of
'firmware nodes' that can be handled by the device properties
framework and drop the type field from struct fwnode_handle (Sakari
Ailus, Arnd Bergmann).
- Make the device properties framework use const fwnode arguments
where possible (Sakari Ailus).
- Add a helper for the consolidated handling of node references to
the device properties framework (Sakari Ailus).
- Switch over the ACPI part of the device properties framework to the
new UUID API (Andy Shevchenko)"

Pull power management updates from Rafael Wysocki:
"This time (again) cpufreq gets the majority of changes which mostly
are driver updates (including a major consolidation of intel_pstate),
some schedutil governor modifications and core cleanups.
There also are some changes in the system suspend area, mostly related
to diagnostics and debug messages plus some renames of things related
to suspend-to-idle. One major change here is that suspend-to-idle is
now going to be preferred over S3 on systems where the ACPI tables
indicate to do so and provide requsite support (the Low Power Idle S0
_DSM in particular). The system sleep documentation and the tools
related to it are updated too.
The rest is a few cpuidle changes (nothing major), devfreq updates,
generic power domains (genpd) framework updates and a few assorted
modifications elsewhere.
Specifics:
- Drop the P-state selection algorithm based on a PID controller from
intel_pstate and make it use the same P-state selection method
(based on the CPU load) for all types of systems in the active mode
(Rafael Wysocki, Srinivas Pandruvada).
- Rework the cpufreq core and governors to make it possible to take
cross-CPU utilization updates into account and modify the schedutil
governor to actually do so (Viresh Kumar).
- Clean up the handling of transition latency information in the
cpufreq core and untangle it from the information on which drivers
cannot do dynamic frequency switching (Viresh Kumar).
- Add support for new SoCs (MT2701/MT7623 and MT7622) to the mediatek
cpufreq driver and update its DT bindings (Sean Wang).
- Modify the cpufreq dt-platdev driver to autimatically create
cpufreq devices for the new (v2) Operating Performance Points (OPP)
DT bindings and update its whitelist of supported systems (Viresh
Kumar, Shubhrajyoti Datta, Marc Gonzalez, Khiem Nguyen, Finley
Xiao).
- Add support for Ux500 to the cpufreq-dt driver and drop the
obsolete dbx500 cpufreq driver (Linus Walleij, Arnd Bergmann).
- Add new SoC (R8A7795) support to the cpufreq rcar driver (Khiem
Nguyen).
- Fix and clean up assorted issues in the cpufreq drivers and core
(Arvind Yadav, Christophe Jaillet, Colin Ian King, Gustavo Silva,
Julia Lawall, Leonard Crestez, Rob Herring, Sudeep Holla).
- Update the IO-wait boost handling in the schedutil governor to make
it less aggressive (Joel Fernandes).
- Rework system suspend diagnostics to make it print fewer messages
to the kernel log by default, add a sysfs knob to allow more
suspend-related messages to be printed and add Low Power S0 Idle
constraints checks to the ACPI suspend-to-idle code (Rafael
Wysocki, Srinivas Pandruvada).
- Prefer suspend-to-idle over S3 on ACPI-based systems with the
ACPI_FADT_LOW_POWER_S0 flag set and the Low Power Idle S0 _DSM
interface present in the ACPI tables (Rafael Wysocki).
- Update documentation related to system sleep and rename a number of
items in the code to make it cleare that they are related to
suspend-to-idle (Rafael Wysocki).
- Export a variable allowing device drivers to check the target
system sleep state from the core system suspend code (Florian
Fainelli).
- Clean up the cpuidle subsystem to handle the polling state on x86
in a more straightforward way and to use %pOF instead of full_name
(Rafael Wysocki, Rob Herring).
- Update the devfreq framework to fix and clean up a few minor issues
(Chanwoo Choi, Rob Herring).
- Extend diagnostics in the generic power domains (genpd) framework
and clean it up slightly (Thara Gopinath, Rob Herring).
- Fix and clean up a couple of issues in the operating performance
points (OPP) framework (Viresh Kumar, Waldemar Rymarkiewicz).
- Add support for RV1108 to the rockchip-io Adaptive Voltage Scaling
(AVS) driver (David Wu).
- Fix the usage of notifiers in CPU power management on some
platforms (Alex Shi).
- Update the pm-graph system suspend/hibernation and boot profiling
utility (Todd Brandt).
- Make it possible to run the cpupower utility without CPU0 (Prarit
Bhargava)"

Pull arm64 updates from Catalin Marinas:
- VMAP_STACK support, allowing the kernel stacks to be allocated in the
vmalloc space with a guard page for trapping stack overflows. One of
the patches introduces THREAD_ALIGN and changes the generic
alloc_thread_stack_node() to use this instead of THREAD_SIZE (no
functional change for other architectures)
- Contiguous PTE hugetlb support re-enabled (after being reverted a
couple of times). We now have the semantics agreed in the generic mm
layer together with API improvements so that the architecture code
can detect between contiguous and non-contiguous huge PTEs
- Initial support for persistent memory on ARM: DC CVAP instruction
exposed to user space (HWCAP) and the in-kernel pmem API implemented
- raid6 improvements for arm64: faster algorithm for the delta syndrome
and implementation of the recovery routines using Neon
- FP/SIMD refactoring and removal of support for Neon in interrupt
context. This is in preparation for full SVE support
- PTE accessors converted from inline asm to cmpxchg so that we can use
LSE atomics if available (ARMv8.1)

Pull x86 cache quality monitoring update from Thomas Gleixner:
"This update provides a complete rewrite of the Cache Quality
Monitoring (CQM) facility.
The existing CQM support was duct taped into perf with a lot of issues
and the attempts to fix those turned out to be incomplete and
horrible.
After lengthy discussions it was decided to integrate the CQM support
into the Resource Director Technology (RDT) facility, which is the
obvious choise as in hardware CQM is part of RDT. This allowed to add
Memory Bandwidth Monitoring support on top.
As a result the mechanisms for allocating cache/memory bandwidth and
the corresponding monitoring mechanisms are integrated into a single
management facility with a consistent user interface"

Pull x86 mm changes from Ingo Molnar:
"PCID support, 5-level paging support, Secure Memory Encryption support
The main changes in this cycle are support for three new, complex
hardware features of x86 CPUs:
- Add 5-level paging support, which is a new hardware feature on
upcoming Intel CPUs allowing up to 128 PB of virtual address space
and 4 PB of physical RAM space - a 512-fold increase over the old
limits. (Supercomputers of the future forecasting hurricanes on an
ever warming planet can certainly make good use of more RAM.)
Many of the necessary changes went upstream in previous cycles,
v4.14 is the first kernel that can enable 5-level paging.
This feature is activated via CONFIG_X86_5LEVEL=y - disabled by
default.
(By Kirill A. Shutemov)
- Add 'encrypted memory' support, which is a new hardware feature on
upcoming AMD CPUs ('Secure Memory Encryption', SME) allowing system
RAM to be encrypted and decrypted (mostly) transparently by the
CPU, with a little help from the kernel to transition to/from
encrypted RAM. Such RAM should be more secure against various
attacks like RAM access via the memory bus and should make the
radio signature of memory bus traffic harder to intercept (and
decrypt) as well.
This feature is activated via CONFIG_AMD_MEM_ENCRYPT=y - disabled
by default.
(By Tom Lendacky)
- Enable PCID optimized TLB flushing on newer Intel CPUs: PCID is a
hardware feature that attaches an address space tag to TLB entries
and thus allows to skip TLB flushing in many cases, even if we
switch mm's.
(By Andy Lutomirski)
All three of these features were in the works for a long time, and
it's coincidence of the three independent development paths that they
are all enabled in v4.14 at once"

Pull perf updates from Ingo Molnar:
"Kernel side changes:
- Add branch type profiling/tracing support. (Jin Yao)
- Add the PERF_SAMPLE_PHYS_ADDR ABI to allow the tracing/profiling of
physical memory addresses, where the PMU supports it. (Kan Liang)
- Export some PMU capability details in the new
/sys/bus/event_source/devices/cpu/caps/ sysfs directory. (Andi
Kleen)
- Aux data fixes and updates (Will Deacon)
- kprobes fixes and updates (Masami Hiramatsu)
- AMD uncore PMU driver fixes and updates (Janakarajan Natarajan)
On the tooling side, here's a (limited!) list of highlights - there
were many other changes that I could not list, see the shortlog and
git history for details:
UI improvements:
- Implement a visual marker for fused x86 instructions in the
annotate TUI browser, available now in 'perf report', more work
needed to have it available as well in 'perf top' (Jin Yao)
Further explanation from one of Jin's patches:
│ ┌──cmpl $0x0,argp_program_version_hook
81.93 │ ├──je 20
│ │ lock cmpxchg %esi,0x38a9a4(%rip)
│ │↓ jne 29
│ │↓ jmp 43
11.47 │20:└─→cmpxch %esi,0x38a999(%rip)
That means the cmpl+je is a fused instruction pair and they should
be considered together.
- Record the branch type and then show statistics and info about in
callchain entries (Jin Yao)

# perf record -g -j any,save_type
# perf report --branch-history --stdio --no-children

- Beautify pkey_{alloc,free,mprotect} arguments in 'perf trace'
(Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
- Add initial 'clone' syscall args beautifier in 'perf trace'
(Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
- Ignore 'fd' and 'offset' args for MAP_ANONYMOUS in 'perf trace'
(Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
- Beautifiers for the 'cmd' arg of several ioctl types, including:
sound, DRM, KVM, vhost virtio and perf_events. (Arnaldo Carvalho de
Melo)
- Add PERF_SAMPLE_CALLCHAIN and PERF_RECORD_MMAP[2] to 'perf data'
CTF conversion, allowing CTF trace visualization tools to show
callchains and to resolve symbols (Geneviève Bastien)
- Beautify the fcntl syscall, which is an interesting one in the
sense that infrastructure had to be put in place to change the
formatters of some arguments according to the value in a previous
one, i.e. cmd dictates how arg and the syscall return will be
formatted. (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo
perf stat enhancements:
- Use group read for event groups in 'perf stat', reducing overhead
when groups are defined in the event specification, i.e. when using
{} to enclose a list of events, asking them to be read at the same
time, e.g.: "perf stat -e '{cycles,instructions}'" (Jiri Olsa)
pipe mode improvements:
- Process tracing data in 'perf annotate' pipe mode (David
Carrillo-Cisneros)
- Add header record types to pipe-mode, now this command:
$ perf record -o - -e cycles sleep 1 | perf report --stdio --header
Will show the same as in non-pipe mode, i.e. involving a perf.data
file (David Carrillo-Cisneros)
Vendor specific hardware event support updates/enhancements:
- Update POWER9 vendor events tables (Sukadev Bhattiprolu)
- Add POWER9 PMU events Sukadev (Bhattiprolu)
- Support additional POWER8+ PVR in PMU mapfile (Shriya)
- Add Skylake server uncore JSON vendor events (Andi Kleen)
- Support exporting Intel PT data to sqlite3 with python perf
scripts, this is in addition to the postgresql support that was
already there (Adrian Hunter)"

Commit 7c051267931a ("mm, fork: make dup_mmap wait for mmap_sem for
write killable") made it possible to kill a forking task while it is
waiting to acquire its ->mmap_sem for write, in dup_mmap().
However, it was overlooked that this introduced an new error path before
the new mm_struct's ->uprobes_state.xol_area has been set to NULL after
being copied from the old mm_struct by the memcpy in dup_mm(). For a
task that has previously hit a uprobe tracepoint, this resulted in the
'struct xol_area' being freed multiple times if the task was killed at
just the right time while forking.
Fix it by setting ->uprobes_state.xol_area to NULL in mm_init() rather
than in uprobe_dup_mmap().
With CONFIG_UPROBE_EVENTS=y, the bug can be reproduced by the same C
program given by commit 2b7e8665b4ff ("fork: fix incorrect fput of
->exe_file causing use-after-free"), provided that a uprobe tracepoint
has been set on the fork_thread() function. For example:
$ gcc reproducer.c -o reproducer -lpthread
$ nm reproducer | grep fork_thread
0000000000400719 t fork_thread
$ echo "p $PWD/reproducer:0x719" > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/uprobe_events
$ echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/uprobes/enable
$ ./reproducer

architectures
All the locking related cmpxchg's in the following functions are
replaced with the _acquire variants:
- pv_queued_spin_steal_lock()
- trylock_clear_pending()
This change should help performance on architectures that use LL/SC.
The cmpxchg in pv_kick_node() is replaced with a relaxed version
with explicit memory barrier to make sure that it is fully ordered
in the writing of next->lock and the reading of pn->state whether
the cmpxchg is a success or failure without affecting performance in
non-LL/SC architectures.
On a 2-socket 12-core 96-thread Power8 system with pvqspinlock
explicitly enabled, the performance of a locking microbenchmark
with and without this patch on a 4.13-rc4 kernel with Xinhui's PPC
qspinlock patch were as follows:

struct call_single_data is used in IPIs to transfer information between
CPUs. Its size is bigger than sizeof(unsigned long) and less than
cache line size. Currently it is not allocated with any explicit alignment
requirements. This makes it possible for allocated call_single_data to
cross two cache lines, which results in double the number of the cache lines
that need to be transferred among CPUs.
This can be fixed by requiring call_single_data to be aligned with the
size of call_single_data. Currently the size of call_single_data is the
power of 2. If we add new fields to call_single_data, we may need to
add padding to make sure the size of new definition is the power of 2
as well.
Fortunately, this is enforced by GCC, which will report bad sizes.
To set alignment requirements of call_single_data to the size of
call_single_data, a struct definition and a typedef is used.
To test the effect of the patch, I used the vm-scalability multiple
thread swap test case (swap-w-seq-mt). The test will create multiple
threads and each thread will eat memory until all RAM and part of swap
is used, so that huge number of IPIs are triggered when unmapping
memory. In the test, the throughput of memory writing improves ~5%
compared with misaligned call_single_data, because of faster IPIs.

Where XHLOCK_{SOFT,HARD} are save/restore points in the xhlocks[] to
ensure the temporal IRQ events don't interact with task state, the
XHLOCK_PROC is a fundament different beast that just happens to share
the interface.
The purpose of XHLOCK_PROC is to annotate independent execution inside
one task. For example workqueues, each work should appear to run in its
own 'pristine' 'task'.
Remove XHLOCK_PROC in favour of its own interface to avoid confusion.
