Pull gfs2 updates from Bob Peterson:
 "We've got a total of 17 GFS2 patches for this merge window. The
  patches are basically in three categories: (1) patches related to
  broken xfstest cases, (2) patches related to improving iomap and start
  using it in GFS2, and (3) general typos and clarifications.

  Please note that one of the iomap patches extends beyond GFS2 and
  affects other file systems, but it was publically reviewed by a
  variety of file system people in the community.

  From Andreas Gruenbacher:

   - rename variable 'bsize' to 'factor' to clarify the logic related to
     gfs2_block_map.

   - correctly set ctime in the setflags ioctl, which fixes broken
     xfstests test 277.

   - fix broken xfstest 258, due to an atime initialization problem.

   - fix broken xfstest 307, in which GFS2 was not setting ctime when
     setting acls.

   - switch general iomap code from blkno to disk offset for a variety
     of file systems.

   - add a new IOMAP_F_DATA_INLINE flag for iomap to indicate blocks
     that have data mixed with metadata.

   - implement SEEK_HOLE and SEEK_DATA via iomap in GFS2.

   - fix failing xfstest case 066, which was due to not properly syncing
     dirty inodes when changing extended attributes.

   - fix a minor typo in a comment.

   - partially fix xfstest 424, which involved GET_FLAGS and SET_FLAGS
     ioctl. This is also a cleanup and simplification of the translation
     of flags from fs flags to gfs2 flags.

   - add support for STATX_ATTR_ in statx, which fixed broken xfstest
     424.

   - fix for failing xfstest 093 which fixes a recursive glock problem
     with gfs2_xattr_get and _set

  From me:

   - make inode height info part of the 'metapath' data structure to
     facilitate using iomap in GFS2.

   - start using iomap inside GFS2 and switch GFS2's block_map functions
     to use iomap under the covers.

   - switch GFS2's fiemap implementation from using block_map to using
     iomap under the covers.

   - fix journaled data pages not being properly synced to media when
     writing inodes. This was caught with xfstests.

   - fix another failing xfstest case in which switching a file from
     ordered_write to journaled data via set_flags caused a deadlock"

Pull btrfs updates from David Sterba:
 "There are some new user features and the usual load of invisible
  enhancements or cleanups.

  New features:

   - extend mount options to specify zlib compression level, -o
     compress=zlib:9

   - v2 of ioctl "extent to inode mapping", addressing a usecase where
     we want to retrieve more but inaccurate results and do the
     postprocessing in userspace, aiding defragmentation or
     deduplication tools

   - populate compression heuristics logic, do data sampling and try to
     guess compressibility by: looking for repeated patterns, counting
     unique byte values and distribution, calculating Shannon entropy;
     this will need more benchmarking and possibly fine tuning, but the
     base should be good enough

   - enable indexing for btrfs as lower filesystem in overlayfs

   - speedup page cache readahead during send on large files

  Internal enhancements:

   - more sanity checks of b-tree items when reading them from disk

   - more EINVAL/EUCLEAN fixups, missing BLK_STS_* conversion, other
     errno or error handling fixes

   - remove some homegrown IO-related logic, that's been obsoleted by
     core block layer changes (batching, plug/unplug, own counters)

   - add ref-verify, optional debugging feature to verify extent
     reference accounting

   - simplify code handling outstanding extents, make it more clear
     where and how the accounting is done

   - make delalloc reservations per-inode, simplify the code and make
     the logic more straightforward

   - extensive cleanup of delayed refs code

   - fix send ioctl on 32bit with 64bit kernel"

Pull xfs updates from Darrick Wong:
 "xfs: great scads of new stuff for 4.15.

  This merge cycle, we're making some substantive changes to XFS. The
  in-core extent mappings have been refactored to use proper iterators
  and a btree to handle heavily fragmented files without needing
  high-order memory allocations; some important log recovery bug fixes;
  and the first part of the online fsck functionality.

  (The online fsck feature is disabled by default and more pieces of it
  will be coming in future release cycles.)

  This giant pile of patches has been run through a full xfstests run
  over the weekend and through a quick xfstests run against this
  morning's master, with no major failures reported.

  New in this version:

   - Refactor the incore extent map manipulations to use a cursor
     instead of directly modifying extent data.

   - Refactor the incore extent map cursor to use an in-memory btree
     instead of a single high-order allocation. This eliminates a major
     source of complaints about insufficient memory when opening a
     heavily fragmented file into a system whose memory is also heavily
     fragmented.

   - Fix a longstanding bug where deleting a file with a complex
     extended attribute btree incorrectly handled memory pointers, which
     could lead to memory corruption.

   - Improve metadata validation to eliminate crashing problems found
     while fuzzing xfs.

   - Move the error injection tag definitions into libxfs to be shared
     with userspace components.

   - Fix some log recovery bugs where we'd underflow log block position
     vector and incorrectly fail log recovery.

   - Drain the buffer lru after log recovery to force recovered buffers
     back through the verifiers after mount. On a v4 filesystem the log
     never attaches verifiers during log replay (v5 does), so we could
     end up with buffers marked verified but without having ever been
     verified.

   - Fix various other bugs.

   - Introduce the first part of a new online fsck tool. The new fsck
     tool will be able to iterate every piece of metadata in the
     filesystem to look for obvious errors and corruptions. In the next
     release cycle the checking will be extended to cross-reference with
     the other fs metadata, so this feature should only be used by the
     developers in the mean time"

Pull power management updates from Rafael Wysocki:
 "There are no real big ticket items here this time.

  The most noticeable change is probably the relocation of the OPP
  (Operating Performance Points) framework to its own directory under
  drivers/ as it has grown big enough for that. Also Viresh is now going
  to maintain it and send pull requests for it to me, so you will see
  this change in the git history going forward (but still not right
  now).

  Another noticeable set of changes is the modifications of the PM core,
  the PCI subsystem and the ACPI PM domain to allow of more integration
  between system-wide suspend/resume and runtime PM. For now it's just a
  way to avoid resuming devices from runtime suspend unnecessarily
  during system suspend (if the driver sets a flag to indicate its
  readiness for that) and in the works is an analogous mechanism to
  allow devices to stay suspended after system resume.

  In addition to that, we have some changes related to supporting
  frequency-invariant CPU utilization metrics in the scheduler and in
  the schedutil cpufreq governor on ARM and changes to add support for
  device performance states to the generic power domains (genpd)
  framework.

  The rest is mostly fixes and cleanups of various sorts.

  Specifics:

   - Relocate the OPP (Operating Performance Points) framework to its
     own directory under drivers/ and add support for power domain
     performance states to it (Viresh Kumar).

   - Modify the PM core, the PCI bus type and the ACPI PM domain to
     support power management driver flags allowing device drivers to
     specify their capabilities and preferences regarding the handling
     of devices with enabled runtime PM during system suspend/resume and
     clean up that code somewhat (Rafael Wysocki, Ulf Hansson).

   - Add frequency-invariant accounting support to the task scheduler on
     ARM and ARM64 (Dietmar Eggemann).

   - Fix PM QoS device resume latency framework to prevent "no
     restriction" requests from overriding requests with specific
     requirements and drop the confusing PM_QOS_FLAG_REMOTE_WAKEUP
     device PM QoS flag (Rafael Wysocki).

   - Drop legacy class suspend/resume operations from the PM core and
     drop legacy bus type suspend and resume callbacks from ARM/locomo
     (Rafael Wysocki).

   - Add min/max frequency support to devfreq and clean it up somewhat
     (Chanwoo Choi).

   - Rework wakeup support in the generic power domains (genpd)
     framework and update some of its users accordingly (Geert
     Uytterhoeven).

   - Convert timers in the PM core to use timer_setup() (Kees Cook).

   - Add support for exposing the SLP_S0 (Low Power S0 Idle) residency
     counter based on the LPIT ACPI table on Intel platforms (Srinivas
     Pandruvada).

   - Add per-CPU PM QoS resume latency support to the ladder cpuidle
     governor (Ramesh Thomas).

   - Fix a deadlock between the wakeup notify handler and the notifier
     removal in the ACPI core (Ville Syrjälä).

   - Fix a cpufreq schedutil governor issue causing it to use stale
     cached frequency values sometimes (Viresh Kumar).

   - Fix an issue in the system suspend core support code causing wakeup
     events detection to fail in some cases (Rajat Jain).

   - Fix the generic power domains (genpd) framework to prevent the PM
     core from using the direct-complete optimization with it as that is
     guaranteed to fail (Ulf Hansson).

   - Fix a minor issue in the cpuidle core and clean it up a bit (Gaurav
     Jindal, Nicholas Piggin).

   - Fix and clean up the intel_idle and ARM cpuidle drivers (Jason
     Baron, Len Brown, Leo Yan).

   - Fix and clean up some cpufreq drivers and fix a minor issue in the
     cpufreq statistics code (Arvind Yadav, Bhumika Goyal, Fabio
     Estevam, Gautham Shenoy, Gustavo Silva, Marek Szyprowski, Masahiro
     Yamada, Robert Jarzmik, Zumeng Chen).

   - Fix minor issues in the system suspend and hibernation core, in
     power management documentation and in the AVS (Adaptive Voltage
     Scaling) framework (Helge Deller, Himanshu Jha, Joe Perches, Rafael
     Wysocki).

Even though aperfmperf_snapshot_khz() caches the samples.khz value to
return if called again in a sufficiently short time, its caller,
arch_freq_get_on_cpu(), still uses smp_call_function_single() to run it
which may allow user space to trigger an IPI storm by reading from the
scaling_cur_freq cpufreq sysfs file in a tight loop.

To avoid that, move the decision on whether or not to return the cached
samples.khz value to arch_freq_get_on_cpu().

This change was part of commit 941f5f0f ("x86: CPU: Fix up "cpu MHz"
in /proc/cpuinfo"), but it was not the reason for the revert and it

Pull x86 APIC updates from Thomas Gleixner:
 "This update provides a major overhaul of the APIC initialization and
  vector allocation code:

   - Unification of the APIC and interrupt mode setup which was
     scattered all over the place and was hard to follow. This also
     distangles the timer setup from the APIC initialization which
     brings a clear separation of functionality.

     Great detective work from Dou Lyiang!

   - Refactoring of the x86 vector allocation mechanism. The existing
     code was based on nested loops and rather convoluted APIC callbacks
     which had a horrible worst case behaviour and tried to serve all
     different use cases in one go. This led to quite odd hacks when
     supporting the new managed interupt facility for multiqueue devices
     and made it more or less impossible to deal with the vector space
     exhaustion which was a major roadblock for server hibernation.

     Aside of that the code dealing with cpu hotplug and the system
     vectors was disconnected from the actual vector management and
     allocation code, which made it hard to follow and maintain.

     Utilizing the new bitmap matrix allocator core mechanism, the new
     allocator and management code consolidates the handling of system
     vectors, legacy vectors, cpu hotplug mechanisms and the actual
     allocation which needs to be aware of system and legacy vectors and
     hotplug constraints into a single consistent entity.

     This has one visible change: The support for multi CPU targets of
     interrupts, which is only available on a certain subset of
     CPUs/APIC variants has been removed in favour of single interrupt
     targets. A proper analysis of the multi CPU target feature revealed
     that there is no real advantage as the vast majority of interrupts
     end up on the CPU with the lowest APIC id in the set of target CPUs
     anyway. That change was agreed on by the relevant folks and allowed
     to simplify the implementation significantly and to replace rather
     fragile constructs like the vector cleanup IPI with straight
     forward and solid code.

     Furthermore this allowed to cleanly separate the allocation details
     for legacy, normal and managed interrupts:

      * Legacy interrupts are not longer wasting 16 vectors
        unconditionally

      * Managed interrupts have now a guaranteed vector reservation, but
        the actual vector assignment happens when the interrupt is
        requested. It's guaranteed not to fail.

      * Normal interrupts no longer allocate vectors unconditionally
        when the interrupt is set up (IO/APIC init or MSI(X) enable).
        The mechanism has been switched to a best effort reservation
        mode. The actual allocation happens when the interrupt is
        requested. Contrary to managed interrupts the request can fail
        due to vector space exhaustion, but drivers must handle a fail
        of request_irq() anyway. When the interrupt is freed, the vector
        is handed back as well.

        This solves a long standing problem with large unconditional
        vector allocations for a certain class of enterprise devices
        which prevented server hibernation due to vector space
        exhaustion when the unused allocated vectors had to be migrated
        to CPU0 while unplugging all non boot CPUs.

     The code has been equipped with trace points and detailed debugfs
     information to aid analysis of the vector space"

Pull timer updates from Thomas Gleixner:
 "Yet another big pile of changes:

   - More year 2038 work from Arnd slowly reaching the point where we
     need to think about the syscalls themself.

   - A new timer function which allows to conditionally (re)arm a timer
     only when it's either not running or the new expiry time is sooner
     than the armed expiry time. This allows to use a single timer for
     multiple timeout requirements w/o caring about the first expiry
     time at the call site.

   - A new NMI safe accessor to clock real time for the printk timestamp
     work. Can be used by tracing, perf as well if required.

   - A large number of timer setup conversions from Kees which got
     collected here because either maintainers requested so or they
     simply got ignored. As Kees pointed out already there are a few
     trivial merge conflicts and some redundant commits which was
     unavoidable due to the size of this conversion effort.

   - Avoid a redundant iteration in the timer wheel softirq processing.

   - Provide a mechanism to treat RTC implementations depending on their
     hardware properties, i.e. don't inflict the write at the 0.5
     seconds boundary which originates from the PC CMOS RTC to all RTCs.
     No functional change as drivers need to be updated separately.

   - The usual small updates to core code clocksource drivers. Nothing
     really exciting"

Pull irq core updates from Thomas Gleixner:
 "A rather large update for the interrupt core code and the irq chip drivers:

   - Add a new bitmap matrix allocator and supporting changes, which is
     used to replace the x86 vector allocator which comes with separate
     pull request. This allows to replace the convoluted nested loop
     allocation function in x86 with a facility which supports the
     recently added property of managed interrupts proper and allows to
     switch to a best effort vector reservation scheme, which addresses
     problems with vector exhaustion.

   - A large update to the ARM GIC-V3-ITS driver adding support for
     range selectors.

   - New interrupt controllers:
       - Meson and Meson8 GPIO
       - BCM7271 L2
       - Socionext EXIU

     If you expected that this will stop at some point, I have to
     disappoint you. There are new ones posted already. Sigh!

   - STM32 interrupt controller support for new platforms.

   - A pile of fixes, cleanups and updates to the MIPS GIC driver

   - The usual small fixes, cleanups and updates all over the place.

Pull x86 core updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "Note that in this cycle most of the x86 topics interacted at a level
  that caused them to be merged into tip:x86/asm - but this should be a
  temporary phenomenon, hopefully we'll back to the usual patterns in
  the next merge window.

  The main changes in this cycle were:

  Hardware enablement:

   - Add support for the Intel UMIP (User Mode Instruction Prevention)
     CPU feature. This is a security feature that disables certain
     instructions such as SGDT, SLDT, SIDT, SMSW and STR. (Ricardo Neri)

     [ Note that this is disabled by default for now, there are some
       smaller enhancements in the pipeline that I'll follow up with in
       the next 1-2 days, which allows this to be enabled by default.]

   - Add support for the AMD SEV (Secure Encrypted Virtualization) CPU
     feature, on top of SME (Secure Memory Encryption) support that was
     added in v4.14. (Tom Lendacky, Brijesh Singh)

   - Enable new SSE/AVX/AVX512 CPU features: AVX512_VBMI2, GFNI, VAES,
     VPCLMULQDQ, AVX512_VNNI, AVX512_BITALG. (Gayatri Kammela)

  Other changes:

   - A big series of entry code simplifications and enhancements (Andy
     Lutomirski)

   - Make the ORC unwinder default on x86 and various objtool
     enhancements. (Josh Poimboeuf)

   - 5-level paging enhancements (Kirill A. Shutemov)

   - Micro-optimize the entry code a bit (Borislav Petkov)

   - Improve the handling of interdependent CPU features in the early
     FPU init code (Andi Kleen)

   - Build system enhancements (Changbin Du, Masahiro Yamada)

   - ... plus misc enhancements, fixes and cleanups"

Pull perf updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "The main changes in this cycle were:

  Kernel:

   - kprobes updates: use better W^X patterns for code modifications,
     improve optprobes, remove jprobes. (Masami Hiramatsu, Kees Cook)

   - core fixes: event timekeeping (enabled/running times statistics)
     fixes, perf_event_read() locking fixes and cleanups, etc. (Peter
     Zijlstra)

   - Extend x86 Intel free-running PEBS support and support x86
     user-register sampling in perf record and perf script. (Andi Kleen)

  Tooling:

   - Completely rework the way inline frames are handled. Instead of
     querying for the inline nodes on-demand in the individual tools, we
     now create proper callchain nodes for inlined frames. (Milian
     Wolff)

   - 'perf trace' updates (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

   - Implement a way to print formatted output to per-event files in
     'perf script' to facilitate generate flamegraphs, elliminating the
     need to write scripts to do that separation (yuzhoujian, Arnaldo
     Carvalho de Melo)

   - Update vendor events JSON metrics for Intel's Broadwell, Broadwell
     Server, Haswell, Haswell Server, IvyBridge, IvyTown, JakeTown,
     Sandy Bridge, Skylake, SkyLake Server - and Goldmont Plus V1 (Andi
     Kleen, Kan Liang)

   - Multithread the synthesizing of PERF_RECORD_ events for
     pre-existing threads in 'perf top', speeding up that phase, greatly
     improving the user experience in systems such as Intel's Knights
     Mill (Kan Liang)

   - Introduce the concept of weak groups in 'perf stat': try to set up
     a group, but if it's not schedulable fallback to not using a group.
     That gives us the best of both worlds: groups if they work, but
     still a usable fallback if they don't. E.g: (Andi Kleen)
