There are two concepts that have some confusing naming:
1. Extended State Component numbers (currently called
XFEATURE_BIT_*)
2. Extended State Component masks (currently called XSTATE_*)
The numbers are (currently) from 0-9. State component 3 is the
bounds registers for MPX, for instance.
But when we want to enable "state component 3", we go set a bit
in XCR0. The bit we set is 1<<3. We can check to see if a
state component feature is enabled by looking at its bit.
The current 'xfeature_bit's are at best xfeature bit _numbers_.
Calling them bits is at best inconsistent with ending the enum
list with 'XFEATURES_NR_MAX'.
This patch renames the enum to be 'xfeature'. These also
happen to be what the Intel documentation calls a "state
component".
We also want to differentiate these from the "XSTATE_*" macros.
The "XSTATE_*" macros are a mask, and we rename them to match.
These macros are reasonably widely used so this patch is a
wee bit big, but this really is just a rename.
The only non-mechanical part of this is the
s/XSTATE_EXTEND_MASK/XFEATURE_MASK_EXTEND/
We need a better name for it, but that's another patch.

The original purpose of XSTATE_RESERVE was to carve out space
to store all of the possible extended state components that
get saved with the XSAVE instruction(s).
However, we are now almost entirely dynamically allocating
the buffers we use for XSAVE by placing them at the end of
the task_struct and them sizing them at boot. The one
exception for that is the init_task.
The maximum extended state component size that we have today
is on systems with space for AVX-512 and Memory Protection
Keys: 2696 bytes. We have reserved a PAGE_SIZE buffer in
the init_task via fpregs_state->__padding.
This check ensures that even if the component sizes or
layout were changed (which we do not expect), that we will
still not overflow the init_task's buffer.
In the case that we detect we might overflow the buffer,
we completely disable XSAVE support in the kernel and try
to boot as if we had 'legacy x87 FPU' support in place.
This is a crippled state without any of the XSAVE-enabled
features (MPX, AVX, etc...). But, it at least let us
boot safely.

Currently, the PMU interface allows reading only one counter at a time.
But some PMUs like the 24x7 counters in Power, support reading several
counters at once. To leveage this functionality, extend the transaction
interface to support a "transaction type".
The first type, PERF_PMU_TXN_ADD, refers to the existing transactions,
i.e. used to _schedule_ all the events on the PMU as a group. A second
transaction type, PERF_PMU_TXN_READ, will be used in a follow-on patch,
by the 24x7 counters to read several counters at once.
Extend the transaction interfaces to the PMU to accept a 'txn_flags'
parameter and use this parameter to ignore any transactions that are
not of type PERF_PMU_TXN_ADD.

BTS leaks kernel addresses even in userspace-only mode due to imprecise IP
sampling, so sometimes syscall entry points or page fault handler addresses
end up in a userspace trace.
Since this driver uses a relatively small buffer for BTS records and it has
to iterate through them anyway, it can also take on the additional job of
filtering out the records that contain kernel addresses when kernel space
tracing is not enabled.
This patch changes the bts code to skip the offending records from perf
output. In order to request the exact amount of space on the ring buffer,
we need to do an extra pass through the records to know how many there are
of the valid ones, but considering the small size of the buffer, this extra
pass adds very little overhead to the nmi handler. This way we won't end
up with awkward IP samples with zero IPs in the perf stream.

Almost everyone implements dma_set_mask the same way, although some time
that's hidden in ->set_dma_mask methods.
This patch consolidates those into a common implementation that either
calls ->set_dma_mask if present or otherwise uses the default
implementation. Some architectures used to only call ->set_dma_mask
after the initial checks, and those instance have been fixed to do the
full work. h8300 implemented dma_set_mask bogusly as a no-ops and has
been fixed.
Unfortunately some architectures overload unrelated semantics like changing
the dma_ops into it so we still need to allow for an architecture override
for now.

Since 2009 we have a nice asm-generic header implementing lots of DMA API
functions for architectures using struct dma_map_ops, but unfortunately
it's still missing a lot of APIs that all architectures still have to
duplicate.
This series consolidates the remaining functions, although we still need
arch opt outs for two of them as a few architectures have very
non-standard implementations.
This patch (of 5):
The coherent DMA allocator works the same over all architectures supporting
dma_map operations.
This patch consolidates them and converges the minor differences:
- the debug_dma helpers are now called from all architectures, including
those that were previously missing them
- dma_alloc_from_coherent and dma_release_from_coherent are now always
called from the generic alloc/free routines instead of the ops
dma-mapping-common.h always includes dma-coherent.h to get the defintions
for them, or the stubs if the architecture doesn't support this feature
- checks for ->alloc / ->free presence are removed. There is only one
magic instead of dma_map_ops without them (mic_dma_ops) and that one
is x86 only anyway.
Besides that only x86 needs special treatment to replace a default devices
if none is passed and tweak the gfp_flags. An optional arch hook is provided
for that.

There are two kexec load syscalls, kexec_load another and kexec_file_load.
kexec_file_load has been splited as kernel/kexec_file.c. In this patch I
split kexec_load syscall code to kernel/kexec.c.
And add a new kconfig option KEXEC_CORE, so we can disable kexec_load and
use kexec_file_load only, or vice verse.
The original requirement is from Ted Ts'o, he want kexec kernel signature
being checked with CONFIG_KEXEC_VERIFY_SIG enabled. But kexec-tools use
kexec_load syscall can bypass the checking.
Vivek Goyal proposed to create a common kconfig option so user can compile
in only one syscall for loading kexec kernel. KEXEC/KEXEC_FILE selects
KEXEC_CORE so that old config files still work.
Because there's general code need CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE, so I updated all the
architecture Kconfig with a new option KEXEC_CORE, and let KEXEC selects
KEXEC_CORE in arch Kconfig. Also updated general kernel code with to
kexec_load syscall.

Pull libnvdimm updates from Dan Williams:
"This update has successfully completed a 0day-kbuild run and has
appeared in a linux-next release. The changes outside of the typical
drivers/nvdimm/ and drivers/acpi/nfit.[ch] paths are related to the
removal of IORESOURCE_CACHEABLE, the introduction of memremap(), and
the introduction of ZONE_DEVICE + devm_memremap_pages().
Summary:
- Introduce ZONE_DEVICE and devm_memremap_pages() as a generic
mechanism for adding device-driver-discovered memory regions to the
kernel's direct map.
This facility is used by the pmem driver to enable pfn_to_page()
operations on the page frames returned by DAX ('direct_access' in
'struct block_device_operations').
For now, the 'memmap' allocation for these "device" pages comes
from "System RAM". Support for allocating the memmap from device
memory will arrive in a later kernel.
- Introduce memremap() to replace usages of ioremap_cache() and
ioremap_wt(). memremap() drops the __iomem annotation for these
mappings to memory that do not have i/o side effects. The
replacement of ioremap_cache() with memremap() is limited to the
pmem driver to ease merging the api change in v4.3.
Completion of the conversion is targeted for v4.4.
- Similar to the usage of memcpy_to_pmem() + wmb_pmem() in the pmem
driver, update the VFS DAX implementation and PMEM api to provide
persistence guarantees for kernel operations on a DAX mapping.
- Convert the ACPI NFIT 'BLK' driver to map the block apertures as
cacheable to improve performance.
- Miscellaneous updates and fixes to libnvdimm including support for
issuing "address range scrub" commands, clarifying the optimal
'sector size' of pmem devices, a clarification of the usage of the
ACPI '_STA' (status) property for DIMM devices, and other minor
fixes"

Pull locking and atomic updates from Ingo Molnar:
"Main changes in this cycle are:
- Extend atomic primitives with coherent logic op primitives

The old ops were incoherent with incompatible signatures across
architectures and with incomplete support. Now every architecture
supports the primitives consistently (by Peter Zijlstra)
- Generic support for 'relaxed atomics':
- _acquire/release/relaxed() flavours of xchg(), cmpxchg() and {add,sub}_return()
- atomic_read_acquire()
- atomic_set_release()
This came out of porting qwrlock code to arm64 (by Will Deacon)
- Clean up the fragile static_key APIs that were causing repeat bugs,
by introducing a new one:
DEFINE_STATIC_KEY_TRUE(name);
DEFINE_STATIC_KEY_FALSE(name);
which define a key of different types with an initial true/false
value.
Then allow:
static_branch_likely()
static_branch_unlikely()
to take a key of either type and emit the right instruction for the

Pull power management and ACPI updates from Rafael Wysocki:
"From the number of commits perspective, the biggest items are ACPICA
and cpufreq changes with the latter taking the lead (over 50 commits).
On the cpufreq front, there are many cleanups and minor fixes in the
core and governors, driver updates etc. We also have a new cpufreq
driver for Mediatek MT8173 chips.
ACPICA mostly updates its debug infrastructure and adds a number of
fixes and cleanups for a good measure.
The Operating Performance Points (OPP) framework is updated with new
DT bindings and support for them among other things.
We have a few updates of the generic power domains framework and a
reorganization of the ACPI device enumeration code and bus type
operations.
And a lot of fixes and cleanups all over.
Included is one branch from the MFD tree as it contains some
PM-related driver core and ACPI PM changes a few other commits are
based on.
Specifics:
- ACPICA update to upstream revision 20150818 including method
tracing extensions to allow more in-depth AML debugging in the
kernel and a number of assorted fixes and cleanups (Bob Moore, Lv
Zheng, Markus Elfring).
- ACPI sysfs code updates and a documentation update related to AML
method tracing (Lv Zheng).
- ACPI EC driver fix related to serialized evaluations of _Qxx
methods and ACPI tools updates allowing the EC userspace tool to be
built from the kernel source (Lv Zheng).
- ACPI processor driver updates preparing it for future introduction
of CPPC support and ACPI PCC mailbox driver updates (Ashwin
Chaugule).
- ACPI interrupts enumeration fix for a regression related to the
handling of IRQ attribute conflicts between MADT and the ACPI
namespace (Jiang Liu).
- Fixes related to ACPI device PM (Mika Westerberg, Srinidhi
Kasagar).
- ACPI device registration code reorganization to separate the
sysfs-related code and bus type operations from the rest (Rafael J
Wysocki).
- Assorted cleanups in the ACPI core (Jarkko Nikula, Mathias Krause,
Andy Shevchenko, Rafael J Wysocki, Nicolas Iooss).
- ACPI cpufreq driver and ia64 cpufreq driver fixes and cleanups (Pan
Xinhui, Rafael J Wysocki).
- cpufreq core cleanups on top of the previous changes allowing it to
preseve its sysfs directories over system suspend/resume (Viresh
Kumar, Rafael J Wysocki, Sebastian Andrzej Siewior).
- cpufreq fixes and cleanups related to governors (Viresh Kumar).
- cpufreq updates (core and the cpufreq-dt driver) related to the
turbo/boost mode support (Viresh Kumar, Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz).
- New DT bindings for Operating Performance Points (OPP), support for
them in the OPP framework and in the cpufreq-dt driver plus related
OPP framework fixes and cleanups (Viresh Kumar).
- cpufreq powernv driver updates (Shilpasri G Bhat).
- New cpufreq driver for Mediatek MT8173 (Pi-Cheng Chen).
- Assorted cpufreq driver (speedstep-lib, sfi, integrator) cleanups
and fixes (Abhilash Jindal, Andrzej Hajda, Cristian Ardelean).
- intel_pstate driver updates including Skylake-S support, support
for enabling HW P-states per CPU and an additional vendor bypass
list entry (Kristen Carlson Accardi, Chen Yu, Ethan Zhao).
- cpuidle core fixes related to the handling of coupled idle states
(Xunlei Pang).
- intel_idle driver updates including Skylake Client support and
support for freeze-mode-specific idle states (Len Brown).
- Driver core updates related to power management (Andy Shevchenko,
Rafael J Wysocki).
- Generic power domains framework fixes and cleanups (Jon Hunter,
Geert Uytterhoeven, Rajendra Nayak, Ulf Hansson).
- Device PM QoS framework update to allow the latency tolerance
setting to be exposed to user space via sysfs (Mika Westerberg).
- devfreq support for PPMUv2 in Exynos5433 and a fix for an incorrect
exynos-ppmu DT binding (Chanwoo Choi, Javier Martinez Canillas).
- System sleep support updates (Alan Stern, Len Brown, SungEun Kim).
- rockchip-io AVS support updates (Heiko Stuebner).
- PM core clocks support fixup (Colin Ian King).
- Power capping RAPL driver update including support for Skylake H/S
and Broadwell-H (Radivoje Jovanovic, Seiichi Ikarashi).
- Generic device properties framework fixes related to the handling
of static (driver-provided) property sets (Andy Shevchenko).
- turbostat and cpupower updates (Len Brown, Shilpasri G Bhat,
Shreyas B Prabhu)"

- Add support for using several Intel PT features (CYC, MTC packets),
the relevant documentation was updated in:
tools/perf/Documentation/intel-pt.txt
briefly describing those packets, its purposes, how to configure
them in the event config terms and relevant external documentation
for further reading. (Adrian Hunter)
- Introduce support for probing at an absolute address, for user and
kernel 'perf probe's, useful when one have the symbol maps on a
developer machine but not on an embedded system. (Wang Nan)
- Add Intel BTS support, with a call-graph script to show it and PT
in use in a GUI using 'perf script' python scripting with
postgresql and Qt. (Adrian Hunter)
- Allow selecting the type of callchains per event, including
disabling callchains in all but one entry in an event list, to save
space, and also to ask for the callchains collected in one event to
be used in other events. (Kan Liang)
- Beautify more syscall arguments in 'perf trace': (Arnaldo Carvalho
de Melo)
* A bunch more translate file/pathnames from pointers to strings.
* Convert numbers to strings for the 'keyctl' syscall 'option'
arg.
* Add missing 'clockid' entries.
- Introduce 'srcfile' sort key: (Andi Kleen)
# perf record -F 10000 usleep 1
# perf report --stdio --dsos '[kernel.vmlinux]' -s srcfile
<SNIP>
# Overhead Source File
26.49% copy_page_64.S
5.49% signal.c
0.51% msr.h
#
It can be combined with other fields, for instance, experiment with
'-s srcfile,symbol'.
There are some oddities in some distros and with some specific
DSOs, being investigated, so your mileage may vary.
- Support per-event 'freq' term: (Namhyung Kim)
$ perf record -e 'cpu/instructions,freq=1234/',cycles -c 1000 sleep 1
$ perf evlist -F
cpu/instructions,freq=1234/: sample_freq=1234
cycles: sample_period=1000
$
- Deref sys_enter pointer args with contents from probe:vfs_getname,
showing pathnames instead of pointers in many syscalls in 'perf
trace'. (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
- Stop collecting /proc/kallsyms in perf.data files, saving about
4.5MB on a typical x86-64 system, use the the symbol resolution
routines used in all the other tools (report, top, etc) now that we
can ask libtraceevent to use perf's symbol resolution code.
(Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
- Allow filtering out of perf's PID via 'perf record --exclude-perf'.
(Wang Nan)
- 'perf trace' now supports syscall groups, like strace, i.e:
$ trace -e file touch file
Will expand 'file' into multiple, file related, syscalls. More
work needed to add extra groups for other syscall groups, and also
to complement what was added for the 'file' group, included as a
proof of concept. (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
- Add lock_pi stresser to 'perf bench futex', to test the kernel code
related to FUTEX_(UN)LOCK_PI. (Davidlohr Bueso)
- Let user have timestamps with per-thread recording in 'perf record'
(Adrian Hunter)
