      Pull x86 timer updates from Thomas Gleixner:
       "Early TSC based time stamping to allow better boot time analysis.
      
        This comes with a general cleanup of the TSC calibration code which
        grew warts and duct taping over the years and removes 250 lines of
        code. Initiated and mostly implemented by Pavel with help from various
        folks"

       "The Speck brigade sadly provides yet another large set of patches
        destroying the perfomance which we carefully built and preserved
      
         - PTI support for 32bit PAE. The missing counter part to the 64bit
           PTI code implemented by Joerg.
      
         - A set of fixes for the Global Bit mechanics for non PCID CPUs which
           were setting the Global Bit too widely and therefore possibly
           exposing interesting memory needlessly.
      
         - Protection against userspace-userspace SpectreRSB
      
         - Support for the upcoming Enhanced IBRS mode, which is preferred
           over IBRS. Unfortunately we dont know the performance impact of
           this, but it's expected to be less horrible than the IBRS
           hammering.
      
         - Cleanups and simplifications"

      Pull x86 cache QoS (RDT/CAR) updates from Thomas Gleixner:
       "Add support for pseudo-locked cache regions.
      
        Cache Allocation Technology (CAT) allows on certain CPUs to isolate a
        region of cache and 'lock' it. Cache pseudo-locking builds on the fact
        that a CPU can still read and write data pre-allocated outside its
        current allocated area on cache hit. With cache pseudo-locking data
        can be preloaded into a reserved portion of cache that no application
        can fill, and from that point on will only serve cache hits. The cache
        pseudo-locked memory is made accessible to user space where an
        application can map it into its virtual address space and thus have a
        region of memory with reduced average read latency.
      
        The locking is not perfect and gets totally screwed by WBINDV and
        similar mechanisms, but it provides a reasonable enhancement for
        certain types of latency sensitive applications.
      
        The implementation extends the current CAT mechanism and provides a
        generally useful exclusive CAT mode on which it builds the extra
        pseude-locked regions"

      Pull RCU updates from Thomas Gleixner:
       "A large update to RCU:
      
        Preparatory work for consolidating the RCU flavors:
      
         - Introduce grace-period sequence numbers to the RCU-bh, RCU-preempt,
           and RCU-sched flavors, replacing the old ->gpnum and ->completed
           pair of fields.
      
           This change allows lockless code to obtain the complete
           grace-period state with a single READ_ONCE(), which is needed to
           maintain tolerable lock contention during the upcoming
           consolidation of the three RCU flavors.
      
           Note that grace-period sequence numbers are already used by
           rcu_barrier(), expedited RCU grace periods, and SRCU, and are thus
           already heavily used and well-tested. Joel Fernandes contributed a
           number of excellent fixes and improvements.
      
         - Clean up some grace-period-reporting loose ends, including
           improving the handling of quiescent states from offline CPUs and
           fixing some false-positive WARN_ON_ONCE() invocations.
      
           (Strictly speaking, the WARN_ON_ONCE() invocations were quite
           correct, but their invariants were (harmlessly) violated by the
           earlier sloppy handling of quiescent states from offline CPUs.)
      
           In addition, improve grace-period forward-progress guarantees so as
           to allow removal of fail-safe checks that required otherwise
           needless lock acquisitions. Finally, add more diagnostics to help
           debug the upcoming consolidation of the RCU-bh, RCU-preempt, and
           RCU-sched flavors.
      
        The rest:
      
         - SRCU updates
      
         - Updates to rcutorture and associated scripting.

      init: rename and re-order boot_cpu_state_init() · b5b1404d
      Linus Torvalds authored
      This is purely a preparatory patch for upcoming changes during the 4.19
      merge window.
      
      We have a function called "boot_cpu_state_init()" that isn't really
      about the bootup cpu state: that is done much earlier by the similarly
      named "boot_cpu_init()" (note lack of "state" in name).
      
      This function initializes some hotplug CPU state, and needs to run after
      the percpu data has been properly initialized.  It even has a comment to
      that effect.
      
      Except it _doesn't_ actually run after the percpu data has been properly
      initialized.  On x86 it happens to do that, but on at least arm and
      arm64, the percpu base pointers are initialized by the arch-specific
      'smp_prepare_boot_cpu()' hook, which ran _after_ boot_cpu_state_init().
      
      This had some unexpected results, and in particular we have a patch
      pending for the merge window that did the obvious cleanup of using
      'this_cpu_write()' in the cpu hotplug init code:
      
        -       per_cpu_ptr(&cpuhp_state, smp_processor_id())->state = CPUHP_ONLINE;
        +       this_cpu_write(cpuhp_state.state, CPUHP_ONLINE);
      
      which is obviously the right thing to do.  Except because of the
      ordering issue, it actually failed miserably and unexpectedly on arm64.
      
      So this just fixes the ordering, and changes the name of the function to
      be 'boot_cpu_hotplug_init()' to make it obvious that it's about cpu
      hotplug state, because the core CPU state was supposed to have already
      been done earlier.
      
      Marked for stable, since the (not yet merged) patch that will show this
      problem is marked for stable.
