On Chrome OS we want to use USBguard to potentially limit access to USB
devices based on policy. We however to do not want to wait for userspace to
come up before initializing fixed USB devices to not regress our boot
times.
This patch adds option to instruct the kernel to only authorize devices
connected to the internal ports. Previously we could either authorize
all or none (or, by default, we'd only authorize wired devices).
The behavior is controlled via usbcore.authorized_default command line
option.

The netfilter conflicts were rather simple overlapping
changes.
However, the cls_tcindex.c stuff was a bit more complex.
On the 'net' side, Cong is fixing several races and memory
leaks. Whilst on the 'net-next' side we have Vlad adding
the rtnl-ness support.
What I've decided to do, in order to resolve this, is revert the
conversion over to using a workqueue that Cong did, bringing us back
to pure RCU. I did it this way because I believe that either Cong's
races don't apply with have Vlad did things, or Cong will have to
implement the race fix slightly differently.

Asynchronous driver probing can help much on kernel fastboot, and
this option can provide a flexible way to optimize and quickly verify
async driver probe.
Also it will help in below cases:
* Some driver actually covers several families of HWs, some of which
could use async probing while others don't. So we can't simply
turn on the PROBE_PREFER_ASYNCHRONOUS flag in driver, but use this
cmdline option, like igb driver async patch discussed at
https://www.spinics.net/lists/netdev/msg545986.html
* For SOC (System on Chip) with multiple spi or i2c controllers, most
of the slave spi/i2c devices will be assigned with fixed controller
number, while async probing may make those controllers get different
index for each boot, which prevents those controller drivers to be
async probed. For platforms not using these spi/i2c slave devices,
they can use this cmdline option to benefit from the async probing.

Commit 765b6a98c1 ("iommu/vt-d: Enumerate the scalable
mode capability") enables VT-d scalable mode if hardware
advertises the capability. As we will bring up different
features and use cases to upstream in different patch
series, it will leave some intermediate kernel versions
which support partial features. Hence, end user might run
into problems when they use such kernels on bare metals
or virtualization environments.
This leaves scalable mode default off and end users could
turn it on with "intel-iommu=sm_on" only when they have
clear ideas about which scalable features are supported
in the kernel.

The venerable menu governor does some things that are quite
questionable in my view.
First, it includes timer wakeups in the pattern detection data and
mixes them up with wakeups from other sources which in some cases
causes it to expect what essentially would be a timer wakeup in a
time frame in which no timer wakeups are possible (because it knows
the time until the next timer event and that is later than the
expected wakeup time).
Second, it uses the extra exit latency limit based on the predicted
idle duration and depending on the number of tasks waiting on I/O,
even though those tasks may run on a different CPU when they are
woken up. Moreover, the time ranges used by it for the sleep length
correction factors depend on whether or not there are tasks waiting
on I/O, which again doesn't imply anything in particular, and they
are not correlated to the list of available idle states in any way
whatever.
Also, the pattern detection code in menu may end up considering
values that are too large to matter at all, in which cases running
it is a waste of time.
A major rework of the menu governor would be required to address
these issues and the performance of at least some workloads (tuned
specifically to the current behavior of the menu governor) is likely
to suffer from that. It is thus better to introduce an entirely new
governor without them and let everybody use the governor that works
better with their actual workloads.
The new governor introduced here, the timer events oriented (TEO)
governor, uses the same basic strategy as menu: it always tries to
find the deepest idle state that can be used in the given conditions.
However, it applies a different approach to that problem.
First, it doesn't use "correction factors" for the time till the
closest timer, but instead it tries to correlate the measured idle
duration values with the available idle states and use that
information to pick up the idle state that is most likely to "match"
the upcoming CPU idle interval.
Second, it doesn't take the number of "I/O waiters" into account at
all and the pattern detection code in it avoids taking timer wakeups
into account. It also only uses idle duration values less than the
current time till the closest timer (with the tick excluded) for that
purpose.

Add a section about decoding /proc/sys/kernel/tainted, create a more
understandable intro and a hopefully explain better the tainted flags in
bugs, oops or panics messages. Only thing missing then is a table that
quickly describes the various bits and taint flags before going into more
detail, so add that as well.
That table is partly based on a section from Documentation/sysctl/kernel.txt,
but a bit more compact. To avoid confusion I added the shortened version to
kernel.txt; the same table is used in three different places now:
./tools/debugging/kernel-chktaint,
Documentation/admin-guide/tainted-kernels.rst and

Back in 2007 I made what turned out to be a rather serious
mistake in the implementation of the Smack security module.
The SELinux module used an interface in /proc to manipulate
the security context on processes. Rather than use a similar
interface, I used the same interface. The AppArmor team did
likewise. Now /proc/.../attr/current will tell you the
security "context" of the process, but it will be different
depending on the security module you're using.
This patch provides a subdirectory in /proc/.../attr for
Smack. Smack user space can use the "current" file in
this subdirectory and never have to worry about getting
SELinux attributes by mistake. Programs that use the
old interface will continue to work (or fail, as the case
may be) as before.
The proposed S.A.R.A security module is dependent on
the mechanism to create its own attr subdirectory.
The original implementation is by Kees Cook.

- Removal of legacy IO path in SCSI (me, Christoph)
- Removal of legacy IO stack and schedulers (me)
- Support for much better polling, now without interrupts at all.

With this last pull request of the year, I want to thank everyone who
has contributed patches, testing, and reviews to the SELinux project
this year, and the past 18 years. Like any good open source effort,
SELinux is only as good as the community which supports it, and I'm
very happy that we have the community we do - thank you all!"

Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman:
"Notable changes:
- Mitigations for Spectre v2 on some Freescale (NXP) CPUs.
- A large series adding support for pass-through of Nvidia V100 GPUs
to guests on Power9.
- Another large series to enable hardware assistance for TLB table
walk on MPC8xx CPUs.
- Some preparatory changes to our DMA code, to make way for further
cleanups from Christoph.
- Several fixes for our Transactional Memory handling discovered by
fuzzing the signal return path.
- Support for generating our system call table(s) from a text file
like other architectures.
- A fix to our page fault handler so that instead of generating a
WARN_ON_ONCE, user accesses of kernel addresses instead print a
ratelimited and appropriately scary warning.
- A cosmetic change to make our unhandled page fault messages more
similar to other arches and also more compact and informative.
- Freescale updates from Scott:
"Highlights include elimination of legacy clock bindings use from
dts files, an 83xx watchdog handler, fixes to old dts interrupt
errors, and some minor cleanup."
And many clean-ups, reworks and minor fixes etc.

Pull RCU updates from Ingo Molnar:
"The biggest RCU changes in this cycle were:
- Convert RCU's BUG_ON() and similar calls to WARN_ON() and similar.
- Replace calls of RCU-bh and RCU-sched update-side functions to
their vanilla RCU counterparts. This series is a step towards
complete removal of the RCU-bh and RCU-sched update-side functions.
( Note that some of these conversions are going upstream via their
respective maintainers. )
- Documentation updates, including a number of flavor-consolidation
updates from Joel Fernandes.
- Miscellaneous fixes.
- Automate generation of the initrd filesystem used for rcutorture
testing.
- Convert spin_is_locked() assertions to instead use lockdep.
( Note that some of these conversions are going upstream via their
respective maintainers. )
- SRCU updates, especially including a fix from Dennis Krein for a
bag-on-head-class bug.
- RCU torture-test updates"

Add two new metrics for CPU idle states, "above" and "below", to count
the number of times the given state had been asked for (or entered
from the kernel's perspective), but the observed idle duration turned
out to be too short or too long for it (respectively).
These metrics help to estimate the quality of the CPU idle governor
in use.

Add cpuidle.governor= command line parameter to allow the default
cpuidle governor to be replaced.
That is useful, for example, if someone running a tickful kernel
wants to use the menu governor on it.
