The current instructions for imx6q-sabresd do not lead to functional
capture on OV5640 MIPI CSI-2.
The reason for this, as explained by Steve Longerbeam, is that OV5640 by
default transmits on virtual channel 0, not channel 1 as is given in the
instructions.
Adapt the instructions to use virtual channel 0 so that a working
camera setup can be achieved on imx6q-sabresd.
Also, since we are using an IC direct conversion pipeline, improve
the example by demonstrating colorspace and scaling.

SRBDS is an MDS-like speculative side channel that can leak bits from the
random number generator (RNG) across cores and threads. New microcode
serializes the processor access during the execution of RDRAND and
RDSEED. This ensures that the shared buffer is overwritten before it is
released for reuse.
While it is present on all affected CPU models, the microcode mitigation
is not needed on models that enumerate ARCH_CAPABILITIES[MDS_NO] in the
cases where TSX is not supported or has been disabled with TSX_CTRL.
The mitigation is activated by default on affected processors and it
increases latency for RDRAND and RDSEED instructions. Among other
effects this will reduce throughput from /dev/urandom.
* Enable administrator to configure the mitigation off when desired using
either mitigations=off or srbds=off.
* Export vulnerability status via sysfs
* Rename file-scoped macros to apply for non-whitelist table initializations.

After recent changes allowing scale-invariant utilization to be
used on x86, the schedutil governor on top of intel_pstate in the
passive mode should be on par with (or better than) the active mode
"powersave" algorithm of intel_pstate on systems in which
hardware-managed P-states (HWP) are not used, so it should not be
necessary to use the internal scaling algorithm in those cases.
Accordingly, modify intel_pstate to start in the passive mode by
default if the processor at hand does not support HWP of if the driver
is requested to avoid using HWP through the kernel command line.
Among other things, that will allow utilization clamps and the
support for RT/DL tasks in the schedutil governor to be utilized on
systems in which intel_pstate is used.

Update perf-security.rst documentation file with the information
related to usage of CAP_PERFMON capability to secure performance
monitoring and observability operations in system.
Committer notes:
While testing 'perf top' under cap_perfmon I noticed that it needs
some more capability and Alexey pointed out cap_ipc_lock, as needed by
this kernel chunk:
kernel/events/core.c: 6101
if ((locked > lock_limit) && perf_is_paranoid() &&
!capable(CAP_IPC_LOCK)) {
ret = -EPERM;
goto unlock;
}
So I added it to the documentation, and also mentioned that if the
libcap version doesn't yet supports 'cap_perfmon', its numeric value can
be used instead, i.e. if:
# setcap "cap_perfmon,cap_ipc_lock,cap_sys_ptrace,cap_syslog=ep" perf
Fails, try:
# setcap "38,cap_ipc_lock,cap_sys_ptrace,cap_syslog=ep" perf
I also added a paragraph stating that using an unpatched libcap will
fail the check for CAP_PERFMON, as it checks the cap number against a
maximum to see if it is valid, which makes it use as the default the
'cycles:u' event, even tho a cap_perfmon capable perf binary can get
kernel samples, to workaround that just use, e.g.:
# perf top -e cycles
# perf record -e cycles
And it will sample kernel and user modes.

Commit 944d9fec8d ("hugetlb: add support for gigantic page allocation
at runtime") has added the run-time allocation of gigantic pages.
However it actually works only at early stages of the system loading,
when the majority of memory is free. After some time the memory gets
fragmented by non-movable pages, so the chances to find a contiguous 1GB
block are getting close to zero. Even dropping caches manually doesn't
help a lot.
At large scale rebooting servers in order to allocate gigantic hugepages
is quite expensive and complex. At the same time keeping some constant
percentage of memory in reserved hugepages even if the workload isn't
using it is a big waste: not all workloads can benefit from using 1 GB
pages.
The following solution can solve the problem:
1) On boot time a dedicated cma area* is reserved. The size is passed
as a kernel argument.
2) Run-time allocations of gigantic hugepages are performed using the
cma allocator and the dedicated cma area
In this case gigantic hugepages can be allocated successfully with a
high probability, however the memory isn't completely wasted if nobody
is using 1GB hugepages: it can be used for pagecache, anon memory, THPs,
etc.
* On a multi-node machine a per-node cma area is allocated on each node.
Following gigantic hugetlb allocation are using the first available
numa node if the mask isn't specified by a user.
Usage:
1) configure the kernel to allocate a cma area for hugetlb allocations:
pass hugetlb_cma=10G as a kernel argument
2) allocate hugetlb pages as usual, e.g.
echo 10 > /sys/kernel/mm/hugepages/hugepages-1048576kB/nr_hugepages
If the option isn't enabled or the allocation of the cma area failed,
the current behavior of the system is preserved.
x86 and arm-64 are covered by this patch, other architectures can be
trivially added later.
The patch contains clean-ups and fixes proposed and implemented by Aslan
Bakirov and Randy Dunlap. It also contains ideas and suggestions
proposed by Rik van Riel, Michal Hocko and Mike Kravetz. Thanks!

In commit 357b4da50a ("x86: respect memory size limiting via mem=
parameter") a global varialbe max_mem_size is added to store the value
parsed from 'mem= ', then checked when memory region is added. This truly
stops those DIMMs from being added into system memory during boot-time.
However, it also limits the later memory hotplug functionality. Any DIMM
can't be hotplugged any more if its region is beyond the max_mem_size. We
will get errors like:
[ 216.387164] acpi PNP0C80:02: add_memory failed
[ 216.389301] acpi PNP0C80:02: acpi_memory_enable_device() error
[ 216.392187] acpi PNP0C80:02: Enumeration failure
This will cause issue in a known use case where 'mem=' is added to the
hypervisor. The memory that lies after 'mem=' boundary will be assigned
to KVM guests. After commit 357b4da50a merged, memory can't be extended
dynamically if system memory on hypervisor is not sufficient.
So fix it by also checking if it's during boot-time restricting to add
memory. Otherwise, skip the restriction.
And also add this use case to document of 'mem=' kernel parameter.
