Pull libnvdimm updates from Dan Williams: - Asynchronous address range scrub: Given the capacities of next generation persistent memory devices a scrub operation to find all poison may take 10s of seconds. We want this scrub work to be done asynchronously with the rest of system initialization, so we move it out of line from the NFIT probing, i.e. acpi_nfit_add(). - Clear poison: ACPI 6.1 introduces the ability to send "clear error" commands to the ACPI0012:00 device representing the root of an "nvdimm bus". Similar to relocating a bad block on a disk, this support clears media errors in response to a write. - Persistent memory resource tracking: A persistent memory range may be designated as simply "reserved" by platform firmware in the efi/e820 memory map. Later when the NFIT driver loads it discovers that the range is "Persistent Memory". The NFIT bus driver inserts a resource to advertise that "persistent" attribute in the system resource tree for /proc/iomem and kernel-internal usages. - Miscellaneous cleanups and fixes: Workaround section misaligned pmem ranges when allocating a struct page memmap, fix handling of the read-only case in the ioctl path, and clean up block device major number allocation. * tag 'libnvdimm-for-4.6' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm: (26 commits) libnvdimm, pmem: clear poison on write libnvdimm, pmem: fix kmap_atomic() leak in error path nvdimm/btt: don't allocate unused major device number nvdimm/blk: don't allocate unused major device number pmem: don't allocate unused major device number ACPI: Change NFIT driver to insert new resource resource: Export insert_resource and remove_resource resource: Add remove_resource interface resource: Change __request_region to inherit from immediate parent libnvdimm, pmem: fix ia64 build, use PHYS_PFN nfit, libnvdimm: clear poison command support libnvdimm, pfn: 'resource'-address and 'size' attributes for pfn devices libnvdimm, pmem: adjust for section collisions with 'System RAM' libnvdimm, pmem: fix 'pfn' support for section-misaligned namespaces libnvdimm: Fix security issue with DSM IOCTL. libnvdimm: Clean-up access mode check. tools/testing/nvdimm: expand ars unit testing nfit: disable userspace initiated ars during scrub nfit: scrub and register regions in a workqueue nfit, libnvdimm: async region scrub workqueue ...

Pull device mapper updates from Mike Snitzer: - Most attention this cycle went to optimizing blk-mq request-based DM (dm-mq) that is used exclussively by DM multipath: - A stable fix for dm-mq that eliminates excessive context switching offers the biggest performance improvement (for both IOPs and throughput). - But more work is needed, during the next cycle, to reduce spinlock contention in DM multipath on large NUMA systems. - A stable fix for a NULL pointer seen when DM stats is enabled on a DM multipath device that must requeue an IO due to path failure. - A stable fix for DM snapshot to disallow the COW and origin devices from being identical. This amounts to graceful failure in the face of userspace error because these devices shouldn't ever be identical. - Stable fixes for DM cache and DM thin provisioning to address crashes seen if/when their respective metadata device experiences failures that cause the transition to 'fail_io' mode. - The DM cache 'mq' policy is now an alias for the 'smq' policy. The 'smq' policy proved to be consistently better than 'mq'. As such 'mq', with all its complex user-facing tunables, has been eliminated. - Improve DM thin provisioning to consistently return -ENOSPC once the thin-pool's data volume is out of space. - Improve DM core to properly handle error propagation if bio_integrity_clone() fails in clone_bio(). - Other small cleanups and improvements to DM core. * tag 'dm-4.6-changes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/device-mapper/linux-dm: (41 commits) dm: fix rq_end_stats() NULL pointer in dm_requeue_original_request() dm thin: consistently return -ENOSPC if pool has run out of data space dm cache: bump the target version dm cache: make sure every metadata function checks fail_io dm: add missing newline between DM_DEBUG_BLOCK_STACK_TRACING and DM_BUFIO dm cache policy smq: clarify that mq registration failure was for 'mq' dm: return error if bio_integrity_clone() fails in clone_bio() dm thin metadata: don't issue prefetches if a transaction abort has failed dm snapshot: disallow the COW and origin devices from being identical dm cache: make the 'mq' policy an alias for 'smq' dm: drop unnecessary assignment of md->queue dm: reorder 'struct mapped_device' members to fix alignment and holes dm: remove dummy definition of 'struct dm_table' dm: add 'dm_numa_node' module parameter dm thin metadata: remove needless newline from subtree_dec() DMERR message dm mpath: cleanup reinstate_path() et al based on code review dm mpath: remove __pgpath_busy forward declaration, rename to pgpath_busy dm mpath: switch from 'unsigned' to 'bool' for flags where appropriate dm round robin: use percpu 'repeat_count' and 'current_path' dm path selector: remove 'repeat_count' return from .select_path hook ...

Pull power management and ACPI updates from Rafael Wysocki: "This time the majority of changes go into cpufreq and they are significant. First off, the way CPU frequency updates are triggered is different now. Instead of having to set up and manage a deferrable timer for each CPU in the system to evaluate and possibly change its frequency periodically, cpufreq governors set up callbacks to be invoked by the scheduler on a regular basis (basically on utilization updates). The "old" governors, "ondemand" and "conservative", still do all of their work in process context (although that is triggered by the scheduler now), but intel_pstate does it all in the callback invoked by the scheduler with no need for any additional asynchronous processing. Of course, this eliminates the overhead related to the management of all those timers, but also it allows the cpufreq governor code to be simplified quite a bit. On top of that, the common code and data structures used by the "ondemand" and "conservative" governors are cleaned up and made more straightforward and some long-standing and quite annoying problems are addressed. In particular, the handling of governor sysfs attributes is modified and the related locking becomes more fine grained which allows some concurrency problems to be avoided (particularly deadlocks with the core cpufreq code). In principle, the new mechanism for triggering frequency updates allows utilization information to be passed from the scheduler to cpufreq. Although the current code doesn't make use of it, in the works is a new cpufreq governor that will make decisions based on the scheduler's utilization data. That should allow the scheduler and cpufreq to work more closely together in the long run. In addition to the core and governor changes, cpufreq drivers are updated too. Fixes and optimizations go into intel_pstate, the cpufreq-dt driver is updated on top of some modification in the Operating Performance Points (OPP) framework and there are fixes and other updates in the powernv cpufreq driver. Apart from the cpufreq updates there is some new ACPICA material, including a fix for a problem introduced by previous ACPICA updates, and some less significant changes in the ACPI code, like CPPC code optimizations, ACPI processor driver cleanups and support for loading ACPI tables from initrd. Also updated are the generic power domains framework, the Intel RAPL power capping driver and the turbostat utility and we have a bunch of traditional assorted fixes and cleanups. Specifics: - Redesign of cpufreq governors and the intel_pstate driver to make them use callbacks invoked by the scheduler to trigger CPU frequency evaluation instead of using per-CPU deferrable timers for that purpose (Rafael Wysocki). - Reorganization and cleanup of cpufreq governor code to make it more straightforward and fix some concurrency problems in it (Rafael Wysocki, Viresh Kumar). - Cleanup and improvements of locking in the cpufreq core (Viresh Kumar). - Assorted cleanups in the cpufreq core (Rafael Wysocki, Viresh Kumar, Eric Biggers). - intel_pstate driver updates including fixes, optimizations and a modification to make it enable enable hardware-coordinated P-state selection (HWP) by default if supported by the processor (Philippe Longepe, Srinivas Pandruvada, Rafael Wysocki, Viresh Kumar, Felipe Franciosi). - Operating Performance Points (OPP) framework updates to improve its handling of voltage regulators and device clocks and updates of the cpufreq-dt driver on top of that (Viresh Kumar, Jon Hunter). - Updates of the powernv cpufreq driver to fix initialization and cleanup problems in it and correct its worker thread handling with respect to CPU offline, new powernv_throttle tracepoint (Shilpasri Bhat). - ACPI cpufreq driver optimization and cleanup (Rafael Wysocki). - ACPICA updates including one fix for a regression introduced by previos changes in the ACPICA code (Bob Moore, Lv Zheng, David Box, Colin Ian King). - Support for installing ACPI tables from initrd (Lv Zheng). - Optimizations of the ACPI CPPC code (Prashanth Prakash, Ashwin Chaugule). - Support for _HID(ACPI0010) devices (ACPI processor containers) and ACPI processor driver cleanups (Sudeep Holla). - Support for ACPI-based enumeration of the AMBA bus (Graeme Gregory, Aleksey Makarov). - Modification of the ACPI PCI IRQ management code to make it treat 255 in the Interrupt Line register as "not connected" on x86 (as per the specification) and avoid attempts to use that value as a valid interrupt vector (Chen Fan). - ACPI APEI fixes related to resource leaks (Josh Hunt). - Removal of modularity from a few ACPI drivers (BGRT, GHES, intel_pmic_crc) that cannot be built as modules in practice (Paul Gortmaker). - PNP framework update to make it treat ACPI_RESOURCE_TYPE_SERIAL_BUS as a valid resource type (Harb Abdulhamid). - New device ID (future AMD I2C controller) in the ACPI driver for AMD SoCs (APD) and in the designware I2C driver (Xiangliang Yu). - Assorted ACPI cleanups (Colin Ian King, Kaiyen Chang, Oleg Drokin). - cpuidle menu governor optimization to avoid a square root computation in it (Rasmus Villemoes). - Fix for potential use-after-free in the generic device properties framework (Heikki Krogerus). - Updates of the generic power domains (genpd) framework including support for multiple power states of a domain, fixes and debugfs output improvements (Axel Haslam, Jon Hunter, Laurent Pinchart, Geert Uytterhoeven). - Intel RAPL power capping driver updates to reduce IPI overhead in it (Jacob Pan). - System suspend/hibernation code cleanups (Eric Biggers, Saurabh Sengar). - Year 2038 fix for the process freezer (Abhilash Jindal). - turbostat utility updates including new features (decoding of more registers and CPUID fields, sub-second intervals support, GFX MHz and RC6 printout, --out command line option), fixes (syscall jitter detection and workaround, reductioin of the number of syscalls made, fixes related to Xeon x200 processors, compiler warning fixes) and cleanups (Len Brown, Hubert Chrzaniuk, Chen Yu)" * tag 'pm+acpi-4.6-rc1-1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm: (182 commits) tools/power turbostat: bugfix: TDP MSRs print bits fixing tools/power turbostat: correct output for MSR_NHM_SNB_PKG_CST_CFG_CTL dump tools/power turbostat: call __cpuid() instead of __get_cpuid() tools/power turbostat: indicate SMX and SGX support tools/power turbostat: detect and work around syscall jitter tools/power turbostat: show GFX%rc6 tools/power turbostat: show GFXMHz tools/power turbostat: show IRQs per CPU tools/power turbostat: make fewer systems calls tools/power turbostat: fix compiler warnings tools/power turbostat: add --out option for saving output in a file tools/power turbostat: re-name "%Busy" field to "Busy%" tools/power turbostat: Intel Xeon x200: fix turbo-ratio decoding tools/power turbostat: Intel Xeon x200: fix erroneous bclk value tools/power turbostat: allow sub-sec intervals ACPI / APEI: ERST: Fixed leaked resources in erst_init ACPI / APEI: Fix leaked resources intel_pstate: Do not skip samples partially intel_pstate: Remove freq calculation from intel_pstate_calc_busy() intel_pstate: Move intel_pstate_calc_busy() into get_target_pstate_use_performance() ...

This is required for CRIU (Checkpoint Restart In Userspace) to migrate a mount point when write end in user space is closed. Below is a brief description of the problem. To migrate a non-catatonic autofs mount point, one has to restore the control pipe between kernel and autofs master process. One of the autofs masters is systemd, which closes pipe write end after passing it to the kernel with mount call. To be able to restore the systemd control pipe one has to know which read pipe end in systemd corresponds to the write pipe end in the kernel. The pipe "fd" in mount options is not enough because it was closed and probably replaced by some other descriptor. Thus, some other attribute is required to be able to find the read pipe end. The best attribute to use to find the correct pipe end is inode number becuase it's unique for the whole system and can't be reused while the autofs mount exists. This attribute can also be used to recognize a situation where an autofs mount has no master (no process with specified "pgrp" or no file descriptor with "pipe_ino", specified in autofs mount options).

Similar to how relative extables are implemented, it is possible to emit the kallsyms table in such a way that it contains offsets relative to some anchor point in the kernel image rather than absolute addresses. On 64-bit architectures, it cuts the size of the kallsyms address table in half, since offsets between kernel symbols can typically be expressed in 32 bits. This saves several hundreds of kilobytes of permanent .rodata on average. In addition, the kallsyms address table is no longer subject to dynamic relocation when CONFIG_RELOCATABLE is in effect, so the relocation work done after decompression now doesn't have to do relocation updates for all these values. This saves up to 24 bytes (i.e., the size of a ELF64 RELA relocation table entry) per value, which easily adds up to a couple of megabytes of uncompressed __init data on ppc64 or arm64. Even if these relocation entries typically compress well, the combined size reduction of 2.8 MB uncompressed for a ppc64_defconfig build (of which 2.4 MB is __init data) results in a ~500 KB space saving in the compressed image. Since it is useful for some architectures (like x86) to retain the ability to emit absolute values as well, this patch also adds support for capturing both absolute and relative values when KALLSYMS_ABSOLUTE_PERCPU is in effect, by emitting absolute per-cpu addresses as positive 32-bit values, and addresses relative to the lowest encountered relative symbol as negative values, which are subtracted from the runtime address of this base symbol to produce the actual address. Support for the above is enabled by default for all architectures except IA-64 and Tile-GX, whose symbols are too far apart to capture in this manner.

Commit c6bda7c9 ("kallsyms: fix percpu vars on x86-64 with relocation") overloaded the 'A' (absolute) symbol type to signify that a symbol is not subject to dynamic relocation. However, the original A type does not imply that at all, and depending on the version of the toolchain, many A type symbols are emitted that are in fact relative to the kernel text, i.e., if the kernel is relocated at runtime, these symbols should be updated as well. For instance, on sparc32, the following symbols are emitted as absolute (kindly provided by Guenter Roeck): f035a420 A _etext f03d9000 A _sdata f03de8c4 A jiffies f03f8860 A _edata f03fc000 A __init_begin f041bdc8 A __init_text_end f0423000 A __bss_start f0423000 A __init_end f044457d A __bss_stop f044457d A _end On x86_64, similar behavior can be observed: ffffffff81a00000 A __end_rodata_hpage_align ffffffff81b19000 A __vvar_page ffffffff81d3d000 A _end Even if only a couple of them pass the symbol range check that results in them to be taken into account for the final kallsyms symbol table, it is obvious that 'A' does not mean the symbol does not need to be updated at relocation time, and overloading its meaning to signify that is perhaps not a good idea. So instead, add a new percpu_absolute member to struct sym_entry, and when --absolute-percpu is in effect, use it to record symbols whose addresses should be emitted as final values rather than values that still require relocation at runtime. That way, we can drop the check against the 'A' type.

scripts/kallsyms.c has a special --absolute-percpu command line option which deals with the zero based per cpu offsets that are used when building for SMP on x86_64.

asm volatile and all its variants like __asm__ __volatile__ ("<foo>") are reported as errors with "Macros with with complex values should be enclosed in parentheses". Make an exception for these asm volatile macro definitions by converting the "asm volatile" to "asm_volatile" so it appears as a single function call and the error isn't reported.

Migration accounting in the memory controller used to have to handle both oldpage and newpage being on the LRU already; fuse's page cache replacement used to pass a recycled newpage that had been uncharged but not freed and removed from the LRU, and the memcg migration code used to uncharge oldpage to "pass on" the existing charge to newpage. Nowadays, pages are no longer uncharged when truncated from the page cache, but rather only at free time, so if a LRU page is recycled in page cache replacement it'll also still be charged. And we bail out of the charge transfer altogether in that case. Tell commit_charge() that we know newpage is not on the LRU, to avoid taking the zone->lru_lock unnecessarily from the migration path. But also, oldpage is no longer uncharged inside migration. We only use oldpage for its page->mem_cgroup and page size, so we don't care about its LRU state anymore either. Remove any mention from the kernel doc.

Rather than scattering mem_cgroup_migrate() calls all over the place, have a single call from a safe place where every migration operation eventually ends up in - migrate_page_copy().

There is a performance drop report due to hugepage allocation and in there half of cpu time are spent on pageblock_pfn_to_page() in compaction [1]. In that workload, compaction is triggered to make hugepage but most of pageblocks are un-available for compaction due to pageblock type and skip bit so compaction usually fails. Most costly operations in this case is to find valid pageblock while scanning whole zone range. To check if pageblock is valid to compact, valid pfn within pageblock is required and we can obtain it by calling pageblock_pfn_to_page(). This function checks whether pageblock is in a single zone and return valid pfn if possible. Problem is that we need to check it every time before scanning pageblock even if we re-visit it and this turns out to be very expensive in this workload. Although we have no way to skip this pageblock check in the system where hole exists at arbitrary position, we can use cached value for zone continuity and just do pfn_to_page() in the system where hole doesn't exist. This optimization considerably speeds up in above workload. Before vs After Max: 1096 MB/s vs 1325 MB/s Min: 635 MB/s 1015 MB/s Avg: 899 MB/s 1194 MB/s Avg is improved by roughly 30% [2].
