Pull livepatching support for ppc64 architecture from Michael Ellerman.

Add the kconfig logic & assembly support for handling live patched
functions. This depends on DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_REGS, which in turn
depends on the new -mprofile-kernel ftrace ABI, which is only supported
currently on ppc64le.
Live patching is handled by a special ftrace handler. This means it runs
from ftrace_caller(). The live patch handler modifies the NIP so as to
redirect the return from ftrace_caller() to the new patched function.
However there is one particularly tricky case we need to handle.
If a function A calls another function B, and it is known at link time
that they share the same TOC, then A will not save or restore its TOC,
and will call the local entry point of B.
When we live patch B, we replace it with a new function C, which may
not have the same TOC as A. At live patch time it's too late to modify A
to do the TOC save/restore, so the live patching code must interpose
itself between A and C, and do the TOC save/restore that A omitted.
An additionaly complication is that the livepatch code can not create a
stack frame in order to save the TOC. That is because if C takes > 8
arguments, or is varargs, A will have written the arguments for C in
A's stack frame.
To solve this, we introduce a "livepatch stack" which grows upward from
the base of the regular stack, and is used to store the TOC & LR when
calling a live patched function.
When the patched function returns, we retrieve the real LR & TOC from
the livepatch stack, restore them, and pop the livepatch "stack frame".

In order to support live patching we need to maintain an alternate
stack of TOC & LR values. We use the base of the stack for this, and
store the "live patch stack pointer" in struct thread_info.
Unlike the other fields of thread_info, we can not statically initialise
that value, so it must be done at run time.
This patch just adds the code to support that, it is not enabled until
the next patch which actually adds live patch support.

Add the powerpc specific livepatch definitions. In particular we provide
a non-default implementation of klp_get_ftrace_location().
This is required because the location of the mcount call is not constant
when using -mprofile-kernel (which we always do for live patching).

When livepatch tries to patch a function it takes the function address
and asks ftrace to install the livepatch handler at that location.
ftrace will look for an mcount call site at that exact address.
On powerpc the mcount location is not the first instruction of the
function, and in fact it's not at a constant offset from the start of
the function. To accommodate this add a hook which arch code can
override to customise the behaviour.

Commit 425595a7fc20 ("livepatch: reuse module loader code to write
relocations") adds a possibility of dereferncing pointers supplied by the
consumer of the livepatch API before sanity (NULL) checking them (patch
and patch->mod).

Reuse module loader code to write relocations, thereby eliminating the need
for architecture specific relocation code in livepatch. Specifically, reuse
the apply_relocate_add() function in the module loader to write relocations
instead of duplicating functionality in livepatch's arch-dependent
klp_write_module_reloc() function.
In order to accomplish this, livepatch modules manage their own relocation
sections (marked with the SHF_RELA_LIVEPATCH section flag) and
livepatch-specific symbols (marked with SHN_LIVEPATCH symbol section
index). To apply livepatch relocation sections, livepatch symbols
referenced by relocs are resolved and then apply_relocate_add() is called
to apply those relocations.
In addition, remove x86 livepatch relocation code and the s390
klp_write_module_reloc() function stub. They are no longer needed since
relocation work has been offloaded to module loader.
Lastly, mark the module as a livepatch module so that the module loader
canappropriately identify and initialize it.

Livepatch needs to utilize the symbol information contained in the
mod_arch_specific struct in order to be able to call the s390
apply_relocate_add() function to apply relocations. Keep a reference to
syminfo if the module is a livepatch module. Remove the redundant vfree()
in module_finalize() since module_arch_freeing_init() (which also frees
those structures) is called in do_init_module(). If the module isn't a
livepatch module, we free the structures in module_arch_freeing_init() as
usual.

For livepatch modules, copy Elf section, symbol, and string information
from the load_info struct in the module loader. Persist copies of the
original symbol table and string table.
Livepatch manages its own relocation sections in order to reuse module
loader code to write relocations. Livepatch modules must preserve Elf
information such as section indices in order to apply livepatch relocation
sections using the module loader's apply_relocate_add() function.
In order to apply livepatch relocation sections, livepatch modules must
keep a complete copy of their original symbol table in memory. Normally, a
stripped down copy of a module's symbol table (containing only "core"
symbols) is made available through module->core_symtab. But for livepatch
modules, the symbol table copied into memory on module load must be exactly
the same as the symbol table produced when the patch module was compiled.
This is because the relocations in each livepatch relocation section refer
to their respective symbols with their symbol indices, and the original
symbol indices (and thus the symtab ordering) must be preserved in order
for apply_relocate_add() to find the right symbol.

Livepatch manages its own relocation sections and symbols in order to be
able to reuse module loader code to write relocations. This removes
livepatch's dependence on separate "dynrela" sections to write relocations
and also allows livepatch to patch modules that are not yet loaded.
The livepatch Elf relocation section flag (SHF_RELA_LIVEPATCH),
and symbol section index (SHN_LIVEPATCH) allow both livepatch and the
module loader to identity livepatch relocation sections and livepatch
symbols.
Livepatch relocation sections are marked with SHF_RELA_LIVEPATCH to
indicate to the module loader that it should not apply that relocation
section and that livepatch will handle them.
The SHN_LIVEPATCH shndx marks symbols that will be resolved by livepatch.
The module loader ignores these symbols and does not attempt to resolve
them.
The values of these Elf constants were selected from OS-specific
ranges according to the definitions from glibc.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/linusw/linux-gpio
Pull GPIO updates from Linus Walleij:
"This is the bulk of GPIO changes for kernel v4.6. There is quite a
lot of interesting stuff going on.
The patches to other subsystems and arch-wide are ACKed as far as
possible, though I consider things like per-arch <asm/gpio.h> as
essentially a part of the GPIO subsystem so it should not be needed.
Core changes:
- The gpio_chip is now a *real device*. Until now the gpio chips
were just piggybacking the parent device or (gasp) floating in
space outside of the device model.
We now finally make GPIO chips devices. The gpio_chip will create
a gpio_device which contains a struct device, and this gpio_device
struct is kept private. Anything that needs to be kept private
from the rest of the kernel will gradually be moved over to the
gpio_device.
- As a result of making the gpio_device a real device, we have added
resource management, so devm_gpiochip_add_data() will cut down on
overhead and reduce code lines. A huge slew of patches convert
almost all drivers in the subsystem to use this.
- Building on making the GPIO a real device, we add the first step of
a new userspace ABI: the GPIO character device. We take small
steps here, so we first add a pure *information* ABI and the tool
"lsgpio" that will list all GPIO devices on the system and all
lines on these devices.
We can now discover GPIOs properly from userspace. We still have
not come up with a way to actually *use* GPIOs from userspace.
- To encourage people to use the character device for the future, we
have it always-enabled when using GPIO. The old sysfs ABI is still
opt-in (and can be used in parallel), but is marked as deprecated.
We will keep it around for the foreseeable future, but it will not
be extended to cover ever more use cases.
Cleanup:
- Bjorn Helgaas removed a whole slew of per-architecture <asm/gpio.h>
includes.
This dates back to when GPIO was an opt-in feature and no shared
library even existed: just a header file with proper prototypes was
provided and all semantics were up to the arch to implement. These
patches make the GPIO chip even more a proper device and cleans out
leftovers of the old in-kernel API here and there.
Still some cruft is left but it's very little now.
- There is still some clamping of return values for .get() going on,
but we now return sane values in the vast majority of drivers and
the errorpath is sanitized. Some patches for powerpc, blackfin and
unicore still drop in.
- We continue to switch the ARM, MIPS, blackfin, m68k local GPIO
implementations to use gpiochip_add_data() and cut down on code
lines.
- MPC8xxx is converted to use the generic GPIO helpers.
- ATH79 is converted to use the generic GPIO helpers.
New drivers:
- WinSystems WS16C48
- Acces 104-DIO-48E
- F81866 (a F7188x variant)
- Qoric (a MPC8xxx variant)
- TS-4800
- SPI serializers (pisosr): simple 74xx shift registers connected to
SPI to obtain a dirt-cheap output-only GPIO expander.
- Texas Instruments TPIC2810
- Texas Instruments TPS65218
- Texas Instruments TPS65912
- X-Gene (ARM64) standby GPIO controller"

Pull arm64 updates from Catalin Marinas:
"Here are the main arm64 updates for 4.6. There are some relatively
intrusive changes to support KASLR, the reworking of the kernel
virtual memory layout and initial page table creation.
Summary:
- 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

Pull VFIO updates from Alex Williamson:
"Various enablers for assignment of Intel graphics devices and future
support of vGPU devices (Alex Williamson). This includes
- Handling the vfio type1 interface as an API rather than a specific
implementation, allowing multiple type1 providers.
- Capability chains, similar to PCI device capabilities, that allow
extending ioctls. Extensions here include device specific regions
and sparse mmap descriptions. The former is used to expose non-PCI
regions for IGD, including the OpRegion (particularly the Video
BIOS Table), and read only PCI config access to the host and LPC
bridge as drivers often depend on identifying those devices.
Sparse mmaps here are used to describe the MSIx vector table, which
vfio has always protected from mmap, but never had an API to
explicitly define that protection. In future vGPU support this is
expected to allow the description of PCI BARs that may mix direct
access and emulated access within a single region.
- The ability to expose the shadow ROM as an option ROM as IGD use
cases may rely on the ROM even though the physical device does not
make use of a PCI option ROM BAR"

Remove the livepatch module notifier in favor of directly enabling and
disabling patches to modules in the module loader. Hard-coding the
function calls ensures that ftrace_module_enable() is run before
klp_module_coming() during module load, and that klp_module_going() is
run before ftrace_release_mod() during module unload. This way, ftrace
and livepatch code is run in the correct order during the module
load/unload sequence without dependence on the module notifier call chain.

Put all actions in complete_formation() that are performed after
module->state is set to MODULE_STATE_COMING into a separate function
prepare_coming_module(). This split prepares for the removal of the
livepatch module notifiers in favor of hard-coding function calls to
klp_module_{coming,going} in the module loader.
The complete_formation -> prepare_coming_module split will also make error
handling easier since we can jump to the appropriate error label to do any
module GOING cleanup after all the COMING-actions have completed.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm
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.

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.

ncr5380, scsi_dh, qla2xxx, be2iscsi, hisi_sas, cxlflash, aacraid,
mp3sas, megaraid_sas, ibmvscsi, ufs) plus an assortment of
miscellaneous fixes.
The major user visible change of this pull is that we've moved from
monotonically increasing host number to an ida allocated one (meaning
the numbers get re-used) because someone managed to wrap the count in
an iscsi system. We don't believe there will be any adverse
consequences of this"

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)"
