PMCG nodes were added by IORT revision C, with the unfortunate oversight that it only defined a single base address, and thus was incapable of properly describing PMCG implementations with PMCG_CFGR.RELOC_CTRS = 1, where the counters are in a separate page from the control registers. Revision D corrects this by clarifying the existing field as the page 0 base address and adding a second field to describe the page 1 address when implemented. With the spec now fit for purpose, let's support it. Signed-off-by: Robin Murphy <robin.murphy@arm.com> Signed-off-by: Erik Schmauss <erik.schmauss@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

IORT revision D contains a few additions and fixes to currently-supported tables: - SMMUv3 proximity domain field is enlarged to 4 bytes for consistency with SRAT - Root complex nodes gain an address size limit field equivalent to that of named components - Named component nodes gain a way to describe PASID (substream_ID) support, encoded in their flags Additionally, we fix a couple of outstanding points in passing: - Add the stall support flag for named components defined in revision C - Fix SMMUv3 HTTU override mask, which should always have been 2 bits Signed-off-by: Robin Murphy <robin.murphy@arm.com> Signed-off-by: Erik Schmauss <erik.schmauss@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

Commit 6870c016 ("scripts/faddr2line: show the code context") radically altered the output format of the faddr2line tool. And while the new list output format might have merit it broke my vim usage and was hard to read. Make the new format optional; using a '--list' argument and attempt to make the output slightly easier to read by adding a little whitespace to separate the different files and explicitly mark the line in question.

mempool_init()/bioset_init() require that the mempools/biosets be zeroed first; they probably should not _require_ this, but not allocating those structs with kzalloc is a fairly nonsensical thing to do (calling mempool_exit()/bioset_exit() on an uninitialized mempool/bioset is legal and safe, but only works if said memory was zeroed.)

Pull irq updates from Thomas Gleixner: - Consolidation of softirq pending: The softirq mask and its accessors/mutators have many implementations scattered around many architectures. Most do the same things consisting in a field in a per-cpu struct (often irq_cpustat_t) accessed through per-cpu ops. We can provide instead a generic efficient version that most of them can use. In fact s390 is the only exception because the field is stored in lowcore. - Support for level!?! triggered MSI (ARM) Over the past couple of years, we've seen some SoCs coming up with ways of signalling level interrupts using a new flavor of MSIs, where the MSI controller uses two distinct messages: one that raises a virtual line, and one that lowers it. The target MSI controller is in charge of maintaining the state of the line. This allows for a much simplified HW signal routing (no need to have hundreds of discrete lines to signal level interrupts if you already have a memory bus), but results in a departure from the current idea the kernel has of MSIs. - Support for Meson-AXG GPIO irqchip - Large stm32 irqchip rework (suspend/resume, hierarchical domains) - More SPDX conversions * 'irq-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (36 commits) ARM: dts: stm32: Add exti support to stm32mp157 pinctrl ARM: dts: stm32: Add exti support for stm32mp157c pinctrl/stm32: Add irq_eoi for stm32gpio irqchip irqchip/stm32: Add suspend/resume support for hierarchy domain irqchip/stm32: Add stm32mp1 support with hierarchy domain irqchip/stm32: Prepare common functions irqchip/stm32: Add host and driver data structures irqchip/stm32: Add suspend support irqchip/stm32: Add falling pending register support irqchip/stm32: Checkpatch fix irqchip/stm32: Optimizes and cleans up stm32-exti irq_domain irqchip/meson-gpio: Add support for Meson-AXG SoCs dt-bindings: interrupt-controller: New binding for Meson-AXG SoC dt-bindings: interrupt-controller: Fix the double quotes softirq/s390: Move default mutators of overwritten softirq mask to s390 softirq/x86: Switch to generic local_softirq_pending() implementation softirq/sparc: Switch to generic local_softirq_pending() implementation softirq/powerpc: Switch to generic local_softirq_pending() implementation softirq/parisc: Switch to generic local_softirq_pending() implementation softirq/ia64: Switch to generic local_softirq_pending() implementation ...

McKenney and SeongJae Park. Notable changes beyond an overall update in the tooling itself is the tidying up of spin_is_locked() semantics, which spills over into the kernel proper as well. - qspinlock improvements: the locking algorithm now guarantees forward progress whereas the previous implementation in mainline could starve threads indefinitely in cmpxchg() loops. Also other related cleanups to the qspinlock code (Will Deacon) - misc smaller improvements, cleanups and fixes all across the locking subsystem * 'locking-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (51 commits) locking/rwsem: Simplify the is-owner-spinnable checks tools/memory-model: Add reference for 'Simplifying ARM concurrency' tools/memory-model: Update ASPLOS information MAINTAINERS, tools/memory-model: Update e-mail address for Andrea Parri tools/memory-model: Fix coding style in 'lock.cat' tools/memory-model: Remove out-of-date comments and code from lock.cat tools/memory-model: Improve mixed-access checking in lock.cat tools/memory-model: Improve comments in lock.cat tools/memory-model: Remove duplicated code from lock.cat tools/memory-model: Flag "cumulativity" and "propagation" tests tools/memory-model: Add model support for spin_is_locked() tools/memory-model: Add scripts to test memory model tools/memory-model: Fix coding style in 'linux-kernel.def' tools/memory-model: Model 'smp_store_mb()' tools/memory-order: Update the cheat-sheet to show that smp_mb__after_atomic() orders later RMW operations tools/memory-order: Improve key for SELF and SV tools/memory-model: Fix cheat sheet typo tools/memory-model: Update required version of herdtools7 tools/memory-model: Redefine rb in terms of rcu-fence tools/memory-model: Rename link and rcu-path to rcu-link and rb ...

Merge branch 'siginfo-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace Pull siginfo updates from Eric Biederman: "This set of changes close the known issues with setting si_code to an invalid value, and with not fully initializing struct siginfo. There remains work to do on nds32, arc, unicore32, powerpc, arm, arm64, ia64 and x86 to get the code that generates siginfo into a simpler and more maintainable state. Most of that work involves refactoring the signal handling code and thus careful code review. Also not included is the work to shrink the in kernel version of struct siginfo. That depends on getting the number of places that directly manipulate struct siginfo under control, as it requires the introduction of struct kernel_siginfo for the in kernel things. Overall this set of changes looks like it is making good progress, and with a little luck I will be wrapping up the siginfo work next development cycle" * 'siginfo-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace: (46 commits) signal/sh: Stop gcc warning about an impossible case in do_divide_error signal/mips: Report FPE_FLTUNK for undiagnosed floating point exceptions signal/um: More carefully relay signals in relay_signal. signal: Extend siginfo_layout with SIL_FAULT_{MCEERR|BNDERR|PKUERR} signal: Remove unncessary #ifdef SEGV_PKUERR in 32bit compat code signal/signalfd: Add support for SIGSYS signal/signalfd: Remove __put_user from signalfd_copyinfo signal/xtensa: Use force_sig_fault where appropriate signal/xtensa: Consistenly use SIGBUS in do_unaligned_user signal/um: Use force_sig_fault where appropriate signal/sparc: Use force_sig_fault where appropriate signal/sparc: Use send_sig_fault where appropriate signal/sh: Use force_sig_fault where appropriate signal/s390: Use force_sig_fault where appropriate signal/riscv: Replace do_trap_siginfo with force_sig_fault signal/riscv: Use force_sig_fault where appropriate signal/parisc: Use force_sig_fault where appropriate signal/parisc: Use force_sig_mceerr where appropriate signal/openrisc: Use force_sig_fault where appropriate signal/nios2: Use force_sig_fault where appropriate ...

Merge branch 'userns-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace Pull userns updates from Eric Biederman: "This is the last couple of vfs bits to enable root in a user namespace to mount and manipulate a filesystem with backing store (AKA not a virtual filesystem like proc, but a filesystem where the unprivileged user controls the content). The target filesystem for this work is fuse, and Miklos should be sending you the pull request for the fuse bits this merge window. The two key patches are "evm: Don't update hmacs in user ns mounts" and "vfs: Don't allow changing the link count of an inode with an invalid uid or gid". Those close small gaps in the vfs that would be a problem if an unprivileged fuse filesystem is mounted. The rest of the changes are things that are now safe to allow a root user in a user namespace to do with a filesystem they have mounted. The most interesting development is that remount is now safe" * 'userns-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace: fs: Allow CAP_SYS_ADMIN in s_user_ns to freeze and thaw filesystems capabilities: Allow privileged user in s_user_ns to set security.* xattrs fs: Allow superblock owner to access do_remount_sb() fs: Allow superblock owner to replace invalid owners of inodes vfs: Allow userns root to call mknod on owned filesystems. vfs: Don't allow changing the link count of an inode with an invalid uid or gid evm: Don't update hmacs in user ns mounts

We already earlier discouraged people from using this interface in commit 88796e7e ("sched/swait: Document it clearly that the swait facilities are special and shouldn't be used"), but I just got a pull request with a new broken user. So make the comment *really* clear. The swait interfaces are bad, and should not be used unless you have some *very* strong reasons that include tons of hard performance numbers on just why you want to use them, and you show that you actually understand that they aren't at all like the normal wait/wakeup interfaces. So far, every single user has been suspect. The main user is KVM, which is completely pointless (there is only ever one waiter, which avoids the interface subtleties, but also means that having a queue instead of a pointer is counter-productive and certainly not an "optimization"). So make the comments much stronger. Not that anybody likely reads them anyway, but there's always some slight hope that it will cause somebody to think twice. I'd like to remove this interface entirely, but there is the theoretical possibility that it's actually the right thing to use in some situation, most likely some deep RT use.
