Linus Torvalds 7c672abc12 It's a somewhat calmer cycle for docs this time, as the churn of the mass
RST conversion is happily mostly behind us.
 
  - A new document on reproducible builds.
 
  - We finally got around to zapping the documentation for hardware support
    that was removed in 2004; one doesn't want to rush these things.
 
  - The usual assortment of fixes, typo corrections, etc.
 
 You'll still find a handful of annoying conflicts against other trees,
 mostly tied to the last RST conversions; resolutions are straightforward
 and the linux-next ones are good.

Mark Rutland da422ade5c Documentation/features/locking: update lists
The locking feature lists don't match reality as of v5.3-rc1:

* arm64 moved to queued spinlocks in commit:
  c11090474d
  ("arm64: locking: Replace ticket lock implementation with qspinlock")

* xtensa moved to queued spinlocks and rwlocks in commit:
  579afe866f
  ("xtensa: use generic spinlock/rwlock implementation")

* architecture-specific rwsem support was removed in commit:
  46ad0840b1
  ("locking/rwsem: Remove arch specific rwsem files")

So update the feature lists accordingly, and remove the now redundant
rwsem-optimized list.

Linus Torvalds af7ddd8a62 DMA mapping updates for Linux 4.21
A huge update this time, but a lot of that is just consolidating or
 removing code:
 
  - provide a common DMA_MAPPING_ERROR definition and avoid indirect
    calls for dma_map_* error checking
  - use direct calls for the DMA direct mapping case, avoiding huge
    retpoline overhead for high performance workloads
  - merge the swiotlb dma_map_ops into dma-direct
  - provide a generic remapping DMA consistent allocator for architectures
    that have devices that perform DMA that is not cache coherent. Based
    on the existing arm64 implementation and also used for csky now.
  - improve the dma-debug infrastructure, including dynamic allocation
    of entries (Robin Murphy)
  - default to providing chaining scatterlist everywhere, with opt-outs
    for the few architectures (alpha, parisc, most arm32 variants) that
    can't cope with it
  - misc sparc32 dma-related cleanups
  - remove the dma_mark_clean arch hook used by swiotlb on ia64 and
    replace it with the generic noncoherent infrastructure
  - fix the return type of dma_set_max_seg_size (Niklas Söderlund)
  - move the dummy dma ops for not DMA capable devices from arm64 to
    common code (Robin Murphy)
  - ensure dma_alloc_coherent returns zeroed memory to avoid kernel data
    leaks through userspace.  We already did this for most common
    architectures, but this ensures we do it everywhere.
    dma_zalloc_coherent has been deprecated and can hopefully be
    removed after -rc1 with a coccinelle script.

These days architectures are mostly out of the business of dealing with

drivers.  Replace the ARCH_HAS_SG_CHAIN symbol with a ARCH_NO_SG_CHAIN
one only enabled for architectures with horrible legacy iommu drivers

disable for legacy platforms.

using the same cache coherency attributes as the original process.
For example while using gdb with ioremap_prot() incorporated, both gdb and

Laurent Dufour 3010a5ea66 mm: introduce ARCH_HAS_PTE_SPECIAL
Currently the PTE special supports is turned on in per architecture
header files.  Most of the time, it is defined in
arch/*/include/asm/pgtable.h depending or not on some other per
architecture static definition.

This patch introduce a new configuration variable to manage this
directly in the Kconfig files.  It would later replace
__HAVE_ARCH_PTE_SPECIAL.

Here notes for some architecture where the definition of
__HAVE_ARCH_PTE_SPECIAL is not obvious:

arm
 __HAVE_ARCH_PTE_SPECIAL which is currently defined in
arch/arm/include/asm/pgtable-3level.h which is included by
arch/arm/include/asm/pgtable.h when CONFIG_ARM_LPAE is set.
So select ARCH_HAS_PTE_SPECIAL if ARM_LPAE.

powerpc
__HAVE_ARCH_PTE_SPECIAL is defined in 2 files:
 - arch/powerpc/include/asm/book3s/64/pgtable.h
 - arch/powerpc/include/asm/pte-common.h
The first one is included if (PPC_BOOK3S & PPC64) while the second is
included in all the other cases.
So select ARCH_HAS_PTE_SPECIAL all the time.

sparc:
__HAVE_ARCH_PTE_SPECIAL is defined if defined(__sparc__) &&
defined(__arch64__) which are defined through the compiler in
sparc/Makefile if !SPARC32 which I assume to be if SPARC64.
So select ARCH_HAS_PTE_SPECIAL if SPARC64

There is no functional change introduced by this patch.

The removal of this file appears to have been premature; it's not a feature
enabled by Kconfig, but it's a arch-level feature regardless.  Put it back
for now until some happy future time when we decide how we really want to
document such features.

Linus Torvalds f5a8eb632b arch: remove obsolete architecture ports
This removes the entire architecture code for blackfin, cris, frv, m32r,
 metag, mn10300, score, and tile, including the associated device drivers.
 
 I have been working with the (former) maintainers for each one to ensure
 that my interpretation was right and the code is definitely unused in
 mainline kernels. Many had fond memories of working on the respective
 ports to start with and getting them included in upstream, but also saw
 no point in keeping the port alive without any users.
 
 In the end, it seems that while the eight architectures are extremely
 different, they all suffered the same fate: There was one company
 in charge of an SoC line, a CPU microarchitecture and a software
 ecosystem, which was more costly than licensing newer off-the-shelf
 CPU cores from a third party (typically ARM, MIPS, or RISC-V). It seems
 that all the SoC product lines are still around, but have not used the
 custom CPU architectures for several years at this point. In contrast,
 CPU instruction sets that remain popular and have actively maintained
 kernel ports tend to all be used across multiple licensees.
 
 The removal came out of a discussion that is now documented at
 https://lwn.net/Articles/748074/. Unlike the original plans, I'm not
 marking any ports as deprecated but remove them all at once after I made
 sure that they are all unused. Some architectures (notably tile, mn10300,
 and blackfin) are still being shipped in products with old kernels,
 but those products will never be updated to newer kernel releases.
 
 After this series, we still have a few architectures without mainline
 gcc support:
 
 - unicore32 and hexagon both have very outdated gcc releases, but the
   maintainers promised to work on providing something newer. At least
   in case of hexagon, this will only be llvm, not gcc.
 
 - openrisc, risc-v and nds32 are still in the process of finishing their
   support or getting it added to mainline gcc in the first place.
   They all have patched gcc-7.3 ports that work to some degree, but
   complete upstream support won't happen before gcc-8.1. Csky posted
   their first kernel patch set last week, their situation will be similar.

A number of architecture ports are obsolete and getting dropped,
so we no longer want to track the respective features.

We already removed the lines for metag and mn10300, this does
the same edits for all the others.

to implement each given feature:

Mathieu Desnoyers 26be459c9c Documentation/features: Allow comments in arch features files
The list-arch.sh script considers lines beginning with "#" as match for
the feature table.

Given that those tables are never in lines beginning with "#",
add a reverse grep on "^#" when matching the "ok/TODO" state of
the architecture.

This allows adding comments within the feature files, for instance
describing the architecture requirements for the feature in each
architecture.

Max Filippov c633544a61 xtensa: add support for KASAN
Cover kernel addresses above 0x90000000 by the shadow map. Enable
HAVE_ARCH_KASAN when MMU is enabled. Provide kasan_early_init that fills
shadow map with writable copies of kasan_zero_page. Call
kasan_early_init right after mmu initialization in the setup_arch.
Provide kasan_init that allocates proper shadow map pages from the
memblock and puts these pages into the shadow map for addresses from
VMALLOC area to the end of KSEG. Call kasan_init right after memblock
initialization. Don't use KASAN for the boot code, MMU and KASAN
initialization and page fault handler. Make kernel stack size 4 times
larger when KASAN is enabled to avoid stack overflows.
GCC 7.3, 8 or newer is required to build the xtensa kernel with KASAN.

Linus Torvalds 7246f60068 powerpc updates for 4.12 part 1.
Highlights include:
 
  - Larger virtual address space on 64-bit server CPUs. By default we use a 128TB
    virtual address space, but a process can request access to the full 512TB by
    passing a hint to mmap().
 
  - Support for the new Power9 "XIVE" interrupt controller.
 
  - TLB flushing optimisations for the radix MMU on Power9.
 
  - Support for CAPI cards on Power9, using the "Coherent Accelerator Interface
    Architecture 2.0".
 
  - The ability to configure the mmap randomisation limits at build and runtime.
 
  - Several small fixes and cleanups to the kprobes code, as well as support for
    KPROBES_ON_FTRACE.
 
  - Major improvements to handling of system reset interrupts, correctly treating
    them as NMIs, giving them a dedicated stack and using a new hypervisor call
    to trigger them, all of which should aid debugging and robustness.
 
 Many fixes and other minor enhancements.

Linus Torvalds 588ab3f9af arm64 updates for 4.6:
- Initial page table creation reworked to avoid breaking large block
   mappings (huge pages) into smaller ones. The ARM architecture requires
   break-before-make in such cases to avoid TLB conflicts but that's not
   always possible on live page tables
 
 - Kernel virtual memory layout: the kernel image is no longer linked to
   the bottom of the linear mapping (PAGE_OFFSET) but at the bottom of
   the vmalloc space, allowing the kernel to be loaded (nearly) anywhere
   in physical RAM
 
 - Kernel ASLR: position independent kernel Image and modules being
   randomly mapped in the vmalloc space with the randomness is provided
   by UEFI (efi_get_random_bytes() patches merged via the arm64 tree,
   acked by Matt Fleming)
 
 - Implement relative exception tables for arm64, required by KASLR
   (initial code for ARCH_HAS_RELATIVE_EXTABLE added to lib/extable.c but
   actual x86 conversion to deferred to 4.7 because of the merge
   dependencies)
 
 - Support for the User Access Override feature of ARMv8.2: this allows
   uaccess functions (get_user etc.) to be implemented using LDTR/STTR
   instructions. Such instructions, when run by the kernel, perform
   unprivileged accesses adding an extra level of protection. The
   set_fs() macro is used to "upgrade" such instruction to privileged
   accesses via the UAO bit
 
 - Half-precision floating point support (part of ARMv8.2)
 
 - Optimisations for CPUs with or without a hardware prefetcher (using
   run-time code patching)
 
 - copy_page performance improvement to deal with 128 bytes at a time
 
 - Sanity checks on the CPU capabilities (via CPUID) to prevent
   incompatible secondary CPUs from being brought up (e.g. weird
   big.LITTLE configurations)
 
 - valid_user_regs() reworked for better sanity check of the sigcontext
   information (restored pstate information)
 
 - ACPI parking protocol implementation
 
 - CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA enabled by default
 
 - VDSO code marked as read-only
 
 - DEBUG_PAGEALLOC support
 
 - ARCH_HAS_UBSAN_SANITIZE_ALL enabled

     LDTR/STTR instructions.  Such instructions, when run by the kernel,
     perform unprivileged accesses adding an extra level of protection.
     The set_fs() macro is used to "upgrade" such instruction to
     privileged accesses via the UAO bit

   - Half-precision floating point support (part of ARMv8.2)

   - Optimisations for CPUs with or without a hardware prefetcher (using
     run-time code patching)

   - copy_page performance improvement to deal with 128 bytes at a time

   - Sanity checks on the CPU capabilities (via CPUID) to prevent
     incompatible secondary CPUs from being brought up (e.g.  weird
     big.LITTLE configurations)

   - valid_user_regs() reworked for better sanity check of the
     sigcontext information (restored pstate information)

   - ACPI parking protocol implementation

   - CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA enabled by default

   - VDSO code marked as read-only

   - DEBUG_PAGEALLOC support

   - ARCH_HAS_UBSAN_SANITIZE_ALL enabled

   - Erratum workaround Cavium ThunderX SoC

   - set_pte_at() fix for PROT_NONE mappings

   - Code clean-ups"

Ard Biesheuvel 324420bf91 arm64: add support for ioremap() block mappings
This wires up the existing generic huge-vmap feature, which allows
ioremap() to use PMD or PUD sized block mappings. It also adds support
to the unmap path for dealing with block mappings, which will allow us
to unmap the __init region using unmap_kernel_range() in a subsequent
patch.

dcg df8a0dde73 Remove "arch" usage in Documentation/features/list-arch.sh
Commit 669f6f96c6 introduced
the script list-arch.sh, which uses the command "arch":

ARCH=${1:-$(arch | sed 's/x86_64/x86/' | sed 's/i386/x86/')}

It turns out that the "arch" command does not exist in my system (arch
distro). Google found man pages which say "arch is deprecated command since
release util-linux 2.13. Use uname -m" (util-linux 2.13 was released in 2007).
I also found a debian bug reporting the lack of arch and being told to use
uname -m https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=446023

But then, why it works in some distros? Apparently coreutils gained an
optional arch command that needs to be explicitly enabled during compilation.
Some distros enable it, others don't. Sigh.
