Currently, bootconfig adds a new value on the existing key to the tail of an
array. But this looks a bit confusing because an admin can easily rewrite
the original value in the same config file.
This rejects the following value re-definition.
key = value1
...
key = value2
You should rewrite value1 to value2 in this case.

In theory, RCU-hotplug operations are supposed to work as soon as there
is more than one CPU online. However, in practice, in normal production
there is no way to make them happen until userspace is up and running.
Besides which, on smaller systems, rcutorture doesn't start doing hotplug
operations until 30 seconds after the start of boot, which on most
systems also means the better part of 30 seconds after the end of boot.
This commit therefore provides a new torture.disable_onoff_at_boot kernel
boot parameter that suppresses CPU-hotplug torture operations until
about the time that init is spawned.
Of course, if you know of a need for boottime CPU-hotplug operations,
then you should avoid passing this argument to any of the torture tests.
You might also want to look at the splats linked to below.

In normal production, an RCU CPU stall warning at boottime is often
just as bad as at any other time. In fact, given the desire for fast
boot, any sort of long-term stall at boot is a bad idea. However,
heavy rcutorture testing on large hyperthreaded systems can generate
boottime RCU CPU stalls as a matter of course. This commit therefore
provides a kernel boot parameter that suppresses reporting of boottime
RCU CPU stall warnings and similarly of rcutorture writer stalls.

In default configutions, RCU currently waits at least 100 milliseconds
before asking cond_resched() and/or resched_rcu() for help seeking
quiescent states to end a grace period. But 100 milliseconds can be
one good long time during an RCU callback flood, for example, as can
happen when user processes repeatedly open and close files in a tight
loop. These 100-millisecond gaps in successive grace periods during a
callback flood can result in excessive numbers of callbacks piling up,
unnecessarily increasing memory footprint.
This commit therefore asks cond_resched() and/or resched_rcu() for help
as early as the first FQS scan when at least one of the CPUs has more
than 20,000 callbacks queued, a number that can be changed using the new
rcutree.qovld kernel boot parameter. An auxiliary qovld_calc variable
is used to avoid acquisition of locks that have not yet been initialized.
Early tests indicate that this reduces the RCU-callback memory footprint
during rcutorture floods by from 50% to 4x, depending on configuration.

Add bootconfig magic word to the end of bootconfig on initrd
image for indicating explicitly the bootconfig is there.
Also tools/bootconfig treats wrong size or wrong checksum or
parse error as an error, because if there is a bootconfig magic
word, there must be a bootconfig.
The bootconfig magic word is "#BOOTCONFIG\n", 12 bytes word.
Thus the block image of the initrd file with bootconfig is
as follows.

A split-lock occurs when an atomic instruction operates on data that spans
two cache lines. In order to maintain atomicity the core takes a global bus
lock.
This is typically >1000 cycles slower than an atomic operation within a
cache line. It also disrupts performance on other cores (which must wait
for the bus lock to be released before their memory operations can
complete). For real-time systems this may mean missing deadlines. For other
systems it may just be very annoying.
Some CPUs have the capability to raise an #AC trap when a split lock is
attempted.
Provide a command line option to give the user choices on how to handle
this:
split_lock_detect=
off - not enabled (no traps for split locks)
warn - warn once when an application does a
split lock, but allow it to continue
running.
fatal - Send SIGBUS to applications that cause split lock
On systems that support split lock detection the default is "warn". Note
that if the kernel hits a split lock in any mode other than "off" it will
OOPs.
One implementation wrinkle is that the MSR to control the split lock
detection is per-core, not per thread. This might result in some short
lived races on HT systems in "warn" mode if Linux tries to enable on one
thread while disabling on the other. Race analysis by Sean Christopherson:
- Toggling of split-lock is only done in "warn" mode. Worst case
scenario of a race is that a misbehaving task will generate multiple
#AC exceptions on the same instruction. And this race will only occur
if both siblings are running tasks that generate split-lock #ACs, e.g.
a race where sibling threads are writing different values will only
occur if CPUx is disabling split-lock after an #AC and CPUy is
re-enabling split-lock after *its* previous task generated an #AC.
- Transitioning between off/warn/fatal modes at runtime isn't supported
and disabling is tracked per task, so hardware will always reach a steady
state that matches the configured mode. I.e. split-lock is guaranteed to
be enabled in hardware once all _TIF_SLD threads have been scheduled out.

With the realization that having debugfs enabled on "production" systems
is generally not a good idea, debugfs is being disabled from more and
more platforms over time. However, the functionality of dynamic
debugging still is needed at times, and since it relies on debugfs for
its user api, having debugfs disabled also forces dynamic debug to be
disabled.
To get around this, also create the "control" file for dynamic_debug in
procfs. This allows people turn on debugging as needed at runtime for
individual driverfs and subsystems.

Deprecate setting the SELinux checkreqprot tunable to 1 via kernel
parameter or /sys/fs/selinux/checkreqprot. Setting it to 0 is left
intact for compatibility since Android and some Linux distributions
do so for security and treat an inability to set it as a fatal error.
Eventually setting it to 0 will become a no-op and the kernel will
stop using checkreqprot's value internally altogether.
checkreqprot was originally introduced as a compatibility mechanism
for legacy userspace and the READ_IMPLIES_EXEC personality flag.
However, if set to 1, it weakens security by allowing mappings to be
made executable without authorization by policy. The default value
for the SECURITY_SELINUX_CHECKREQPROT_VALUE config option was changed
from 1 to 0 in commit 2a35d196c1 ("selinux: change
CONFIG_SECURITY_SELINUX_CHECKREQPROT_VALUE default") and both Android
and Linux distributions began explicitly setting
/sys/fs/selinux/checkreqprot to 0 some time ago.

As the bootconfig is appended to the initrd it is not as easy to modify as
the kernel command line. If there's some issue with the kernel, and the
developer wants to boot a pristine kernel, it should not be needed to modify
the initrd to remove the bootconfig for a single boot.
As bootconfig is silently added (if the admin does not know where to look
they may not know it's being loaded). It should be explicitly added to the
kernel cmdline. The loading of the bootconfig is only done if "bootconfig"
is on the kernel command line. This will let admins know that the kernel
command line is extended.
Note, after adding printk()s for when the size is too great or the checksum
is wrong, exposed that the current method always looked for the boot config,
and if this size and checksum matched, it would parse it (as if either is
wrong a printk has been added to show this). It's better to only check this
if the boot config is asked to be looked for.

In certain system configurations it may not be desirable to use some
C-states assumed to be available by intel_idle and the driver needs
to be prevented from using them even before the cpuidle sysfs
interface becomes accessible to user space. Currently, the only way
to achieve that is by setting the 'max_cstate' module parameter to a
value lower than the index of the shallowest of the C-states in
question, but that may be overly intrusive, because it effectively
makes all of the idle states deeper than the 'max_cstate' one go
away (and the C-state to avoid may be in the middle of the range
normally regarded as available).
To allow that limitation to be overcome, introduce a new module
parameter called 'states_off' to represent a list of idle states to
be disabled by default in the form of a bitmask and update the
documentation to cover it.

Pull EFI updates from Ingo Molnar:
"The main changes in this cycle were:
- Cleanup of the GOP [graphics output] handling code in the EFI stub
- Complete refactoring of the mixed mode handling in the x86 EFI stub
- Overhaul of the x86 EFI boot/runtime code
- Increase robustness for mixed mode code
- Add the ability to disable DMA at the root port level in the EFI
stub
- Get rid of RWX mappings in the EFI memory map and page tables,
where possible
- Move the support code for the old EFI memory mapping style into its
only user, the SGI UV1+ support code.
- plus misc fixes, updates, smaller cleanups.
... and due to interactions with the RWX changes, another round of PAT
cleanups make a guest appearance via the EFI tree - with no side
effects intended"

Pull irq updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"The interrupt departement provides:
- A mechanism to shield isolated tasks from managed interrupts:
The affinity of managed interrupts is completely controlled by the
kernel and user space has no influence on them. The reason is that
the automatically assigned affinity correlates to the multi-queue
CPU handling of block devices.
If the generated affinity mask spaws both housekeeping and isolated
CPUs the interrupt could be routed to an isolated CPU which would
then be disturbed by I/O submitted by a housekeeping CPU.
The new mechamism ensures that as long as one housekeeping CPU is
online in the assigned affinity mask the interrupt is routed to a
housekeeping CPU.
If there is no online housekeeping CPU in the affinity mask, then
the interrupt is routed to an isolated CPU to keep the device queue
intact, but unless the isolated CPU submits I/O by itself these
interrupts are not raised.
- A small addon to the device tree irqdomain core code to avoid
duplication in irq chip drivers
- Conversion of the SiFive PLIC to hierarchical domains
- The usual pile of new irq chip drivers: SiFive GPIO, Aspeed SCI,
NXP INTMUX, Meson A1 GPIO
- The first cut of support for the new ARM GICv4.1
- The usual pile of fixes and improvements in core and driver code"

Pull SELinux update from Paul Moore:
"This is one of the bigger SELinux pull requests in recent years with
28 patches. Everything is passing our test suite and the highlights
are below:
- Mark CONFIG_SECURITY_SELINUX_DISABLE as deprecated. We're some time
away from actually attempting to remove this in the kernel, but the
only distro we know that still uses it (Fedora) is working on
moving away from this so we want to at least let people know we are
planning to remove it.
- Reorder the SELinux hooks to help prevent bad things when SELinux
is disabled at runtime. The proper fix is to remove the
CONFIG_SECURITY_SELINUX_DISABLE functionality (see above) and just
take care of it at boot time (e.g. "selinux=0").
- Add SELinux controls for the kernel lockdown functionality,
introducing a new SELinux class/permissions: "lockdown { integrity
confidentiality }".
- Add a SELinux control for move_mount(2) that reuses the "file {
mounton }" permission.
- Improvements to the SELinux security label data store lookup
functions to speed up translations between our internal label
representations and the visible string labels (both directions).
- Revisit a previous fix related to SELinux inode auditing and
permission caching and do it correctly this time.
- Fix the SELinux access decision cache to cleanup properly on error.
In some extreme cases this could limit the cache size and result in
a decrease in performance.
- Enable SELinux per-file labeling for binderfs.
- The SELinux initialized and disabled flags were wrapped with
accessors to ensure they are accessed correctly.
- Mark several key SELinux structures with __randomize_layout.
- Changes to the LSM build configuration to only build
security/lsm_audit.c when needed.
- Changes to the SELinux build configuration to only build the IB
object cache when CONFIG_SECURITY_INFINIBAND is enabled.
- Move a number of single-caller functions into their callers.
- Documentation fixes (/selinux -> /sys/fs/selinux).
- A handful of cleanup patches that aren't worth mentioning on their
own, the individual descriptions have plenty of detail"
