2018-04-26Revert: Unify CLOCK_MONOTONIC and CLOCK_BOOTTIMEThomas Gleixner1-3/+11

As reported by several folks systemd and other applications rely on the documented behaviour of CLOCK_MONOTONIC on Linux and break with the above changes. After resume daemons time out and other timeout related issues are observed. Rafael compiled this list: * systemd kills daemons on resume, after >WatchdogSec seconds of suspending (Genki Sky). [Verified that that's because systemd uses CLOCK_MONOTONIC and expects it to not include the suspend time.] * systemd-journald misbehaves after resume: systemd-journald[7266]: File /var/log/journal/016627c3c4784cd4812d4b7e96a34226/system.journal corrupted or uncleanly shut down, renaming and replacing. (Mike Galbraith). * NetworkManager reports "networking disabled" and networking is broken after resume 50% of the time (Pavel). [May be because of systemd.] * MATE desktop dims the display and starts the screensaver right after system resume (Pavel). * Full system hang during resume (me). [May be due to systemd or NM or both.] That happens on debian and open suse systems. It's sad, that these problems were neither catched in -next nor by those folks who expressed interest in this change. Reported-by: Rafael J.

2018-04-20arm/arm64: KVM: Add PSCI version selection APIMarc Zyngier2-1/+38
Although we've implemented PSCI 0.1, 0.2 and 1.0, we expose either 0.1 or 1.0 to a guest, defaulting to the latest version of the PSCI implementation that is compatible with the requested version. This is no different from doing a firmware upgrade on KVM. But in order to give a chance to hypothetical badly implemented guests that would have a fit by discovering something other than PSCI 0.2, let's provide a new API that allows userspace to pick one particular version of the API. This is implemented as a new class of "firmware" registers, where we expose the PSCI version. This allows the PSCI version to be save/restored as part of a guest migration, and also set to any supported version if the guest requires it.

2018-04-17livepatch: Allow to call a custom callback when freeing shadow variablesPetr Mladek1-3/+7
We might need to do some actions before the shadow variable is freed. For example, we might need to remove it from a list or free some data that it points to. This is already possible now. The user can get the shadow variable by klp_shadow_get(), do the necessary actions, and then call klp_shadow_free(). This patch allows to do it a more elegant way. The user could implement the needed actions in a callback that is passed to klp_shadow_free() as a parameter. The callback usually does reverse operations to the constructor callback that can be called by klp_shadow_*alloc(). It is especially useful for klp_shadow_free_all(). There we need to do these extra actions for each found shadow variable with the given ID. Note that the memory used by the shadow variable itself is still released later by rcu callback. It is needed to protect internal structures that keep all shadow variables. But the destructor is called immediately. The shadow variable must not be access anyway after klp_shadow_free() is called. The user is responsible to protect this any suitable way. Be aware that the destructor is called under klp_shadow_lock. It is the same as for the contructor in klp_shadow_alloc().

2018-04-17livepatch: Initialize shadow variables safely by a custom callbackPetr Mladek1-9/+22
The existing API allows to pass a sample data to initialize the shadow data. It works well when the data are position independent. But it fails miserably when we need to set a pointer to the shadow structure itself. Unfortunately, we might need to initialize the pointer surprisingly often because of struct list_head. It is even worse because the list might be hidden in other common structures, for example, struct mutex, struct wait_queue_head. For example, this was needed to fix races in ALSA sequencer. It required to add mutex into struct snd_seq_client. See commit b3defb791b26ea06 ("ALSA: seq: Make ioctls race-free") and commit d15d662e89fc667b9 ("ALSA: seq: Fix racy pool initializations") This patch makes the API more safe. A custom constructor function and data are passed to klp_shadow_*alloc() functions instead of the sample data. Note that ctor_data are no longer a template for shadow->data. It might point to any data that might be necessary when the constructor is called. Also note that the constructor is called under klp_shadow_lock. It is an internal spin_lock that synchronizes alloc() vs. get() operations, see klp_shadow_get_or_alloc(). On one hand, this adds a risk of ABBA deadlocks. On the other hand, it allows to do some operations safely. For example, we could add the new structure into an existing list. This must be done only once when the structure is allocated.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/clk/linux Pull clk updates from Stephen Boyd: "The large diff this time around is from the addition of a new clk driver for the TI Davinci family of SoCs. So far those clks have been supported with a custom implementation of the clk API in the arch port instead of in the CCF. With this driver merged we're one step closer to having a single clk API implementation. The other large diff is from the Amlogic clk driver that underwent some major surgery to use regmap. Beyond that, the biggest hitter is Samsung which needed some reworks to properly handle clk provider power domains and a bunch of PLL rate updates. The core framework was fairly quiet this round, just getting some cleanups and small fixes for some of the more esoteric features. And the usual set of driver non-critical fixes, cleanups, and minor additions are here as well.

This has been in the works for several weeks and it has been tested and reviewed quite thoroughly. Also included are changes that finalize the cpufreq cleanup moving frequency table validation from drivers to the core, a few fixes and cleanups of cpufreq drivers, a cpuidle documentation update and a PM QoS core update to mark the expected switch fall-throughs in it.

2018-04-11clang-format: add configuration fileMiguel Ojeda3-0/+200
clang-format is a tool to format C/C++/... code according to a set of rules and heuristics. Like most tools, it is not perfect nor covers every single case, but it is good enough to be helpful. In particular, it is useful for quickly re-formatting blocks of code automatically, for reviewing full files in order to spot coding style mistakes, typos and possible improvements. It is also handy for sorting ``#includes``, for aligning variables and macros, for reflowing text and other similar tasks. It also serves as a teaching tool/guide for newcomers. The tool itself has been already included in the repositories of popular Linux distributions for a long time. The rules in this file are intended for clang-format >= 4, which is easily available in most distributions. This commit adds the configuration file that contains the rules that the tool uses to know how to format the code according to the kernel coding style. This gives us several advantages: * clang-format works out of the box with reasonable defaults; avoiding that everyone has to re-do the configuration. * Everyone agrees (eventually) on what is the most useful default configuration for most of the kernel. * If it becomes commonplace among kernel developers, clang-format may feel compelled to support us better. They already recognize the Linux kernel and its style in their documentation and in one of the style sub-options. Some of clang-format's features relevant for the kernel are: * Uses clang's tooling support behind the scenes to parse and rewrite the code. It is not based on ad-hoc regexps. * Supports reasonably well the Linux kernel coding style. * Fast enough to be used at the press of a key. * There are already integrations (either built-in or third-party) for many common editors used by kernel developers (e.g. vim, emacs, Sublime, Atom...) that allow you to format an entire file or, more usefully, just your selection. * Able to parse unified diffs -- you can, for instance, reformat only the lines changed by a git commit. * Able to reflow text comments as well. * Widely supported and used by hundreds of developers in highly complex projects and organizations (e.g. the LLVM project itself, Chromium, WebKit, Google, Mozilla...). Therefore, it will be supported for a long time.

2018-04-11taint: add taint for randstructKees Cook1-0/+1
Since the randstruct plugin can intentionally produce extremely unusual kernel structure layouts (even performance pathological ones), some maintainers want to be able to trivially determine if an Oops is coming from a randstruct-built kernel, so as to keep their sanity when debugging. This adds the new flag and initializes taint_mask immediately when built with randstruct.
