Add #include <linux/cred.h> dependencies to all .c files rely on sched.h
doing that for them.
Note that even if the count where we need to add extra headers seems high,
it's still a net win, because <linux/sched.h> is included in over
2,200 files ...

The '__unreachable' and '__func_stack_frame_non_standard' sections are
only used at compile time. They're discarded for vmlinux but they
should also be discarded for modules.
Since this is a recurring pattern, prefix the section names with
".discard.". It's a nice convention and vmlinux.lds.h already discards
such sections.
Also remove the 'a' (allocatable) flag from the __unreachable section
since it doesn't make sense for a discarded section.

This patch makes arch-independent testcases for RODATA. Both x86 and
x86_64 already have testcases for RODATA, But they are arch-specific
because using inline assembly directly.
And cacheflush.h is not a suitable location for rodata-test related
things. Since they were in cacheflush.h, If someone change the state of
CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA_TEST, It cause overhead of kernel build.
To solve the above issues, write arch-independent testcases and move it
to shared location.

Apart from adding the helper function itself, the rest of the kernel is
converted mechanically using:
git grep -l 'atomic_inc.*mm_count' | xargs sed -i 's/atomic_inc(&\(.*\)->mm_count);/mmgrab\(\1\);/'
git grep -l 'atomic_inc.*mm_count' | xargs sed -i 's/atomic_inc(&\(.*\)\.mm_count);/mmgrab\(\&\1\);/'
This is needed for a later patch that hooks into the helper, but might
be a worthwhile cleanup on its own.

The current transparent hugepage code only supports PMDs. This patch
adds support for transparent use of PUDs with DAX. It does not include
support for anonymous pages. x86 support code also added.
Most of this patch simply parallels the work that was done for huge
PMDs. The only major difference is how the new ->pud_entry method in
mm_walk works. The ->pmd_entry method replaces the ->pte_entry method,
whereas the ->pud_entry method works along with either ->pmd_entry or
->pte_entry. The pagewalk code takes care of locking the PUD before
calling ->pud_walk, so handlers do not need to worry whether the PUD is
stable.

The BUG() macro's use of __builtin_unreachable() via the unreachable()
macro tells gcc that the instruction is a dead end, and that it's safe
to assume the current code path will not execute past the previous
instruction.
On x86, the BUG() macro is implemented with the 'ud2' instruction. When
objtool's branch analysis sees that instruction, it knows the current
code path has come to a dead end.
Peter Zijlstra has been working on a patch to change the WARN macros to
use 'ud2'. That patch will break objtool's assumption that 'ud2' is
always a dead end.
Generally it's best for objtool to avoid making those kinds of
assumptions anyway. The more ignorant it is of kernel code internals,
the better.
So create a more generic way for objtool to detect dead ends by adding
an annotation to the unreachable() macro. The annotation stores a
pointer to the end of the unreachable code path in an '__unreachable'
section. Objtool can read that section to find the dead ends.

It was found when running fio sequential write test with a XFS ramdisk
on a KVM guest running on a 2-socket x86-64 system, the %CPU times
as reported by perf were as follows:
69.75% 0.59% fio [k] down_write
69.15% 0.01% fio [k] call_rwsem_down_write_failed
67.12% 1.12% fio [k] rwsem_down_write_failed
63.48% 52.77% fio [k] osq_lock
9.46% 7.88% fio [k] __raw_callee_save___kvm_vcpu_is_preempt
3.93% 3.93% fio [k] __kvm_vcpu_is_preempted
Making vcpu_is_preempted() a callee-save function has a relatively
high cost on x86-64 primarily due to at least one more cacheline of
data access from the saving and restoring of registers (8 of them)
to and from stack as well as one more level of function call.
To reduce this performance overhead, an optimized assembly version
of the the __raw_callee_save___kvm_vcpu_is_preempt() function is
provided for x86-64.
With this patch applied on a KVM guest on a 2-socket 16-core 32-thread
system with 16 parallel jobs (8 on each socket), the aggregrate
bandwidth of the fio test on an XFS ramdisk were as follows:
I/O Type w/o patch with patch
-------- --------- ----------
random read 8141.2 MB/s 8497.1 MB/s
seq read 8229.4 MB/s 8304.2 MB/s
random write 1675.5 MB/s 1701.5 MB/s
seq write 1681.3 MB/s 1699.9 MB/s
There are some increases in the aggregated bandwidth because of
the patch.
The perf data now became:
70.78% 0.58% fio [k] down_write
70.20% 0.01% fio [k] call_rwsem_down_write_failed
69.70% 1.17% fio [k] rwsem_down_write_failed
59.91% 55.42% fio [k] osq_lock
10.14% 10.14% fio [k] __kvm_vcpu_is_preempted
The assembly code was verified by using a test kernel module to
compare the output of C __kvm_vcpu_is_preempted() and that of assembly
__raw_callee_save___kvm_vcpu_is_preempt() to verify that they matched.

The cpu argument in the function prototype of vcpu_is_preempted()
is changed from int to long. That makes it easier to provide a better
optimized assembly version of that function.
For Xen, vcpu_is_preempted(long) calls xen_vcpu_stolen(int), the
downcast from long to int is not a problem as vCPU number won't exceed
32 bits.

Intel's VMX is daft and resets the hidden TSS limit register to 0x67
on VMX reload, and the 0x67 is not configurable. KVM currently
reloads TR using the LTR instruction on every exit, but this is quite
slow because LTR is serializing.
The 0x67 limit is entirely harmless unless ioperm() is in use, so
defer the reload until a task using ioperm() is actually running.
Here's some poorly done benchmarking using kvm-unit-tests:
Before:
cpuid 1313
vmcall 1195
mov_from_cr8 11

Pull power management updates from Rafael Wysocki:
"The majority of changes go into the Operating Performance Points (OPP)
framework and cpufreq this time, followed by devfreq and some
scattered updates all over.
The OPP changes are mostly related to switching over from RCU-based
synchronization, that turned out to be overly complicated and
problematic, to reference counting using krefs.
In the cpufreq land there are core cleanups, documentation updates, a
new driver for Broadcom BMIPS SoCs, a new cpufreq-dt sub-driver for TI
SoCs that require special handling, ARM64 SoCs support for the qoriq
driver, intel_pstate updates, powernv driver update and assorted
fixes.
The devfreq changes are mostly fixes related to the sysfs interface
and some Exynos drivers updates.
Apart from that, the cpuidle menu governor will support per-CPU PM QoS
constraints for the wakeup latency now, some bugs in the wakeup IRQs
framework are fixed, the generic power domains framework should handle
asynchronous invocations of *noirq suspend/resume callbacks from now
on, the analyze_suspend.py script is updated and there is a new tool
for intel_pstate diagnostics.

new DT bindings for it (Dave Gerlach, Paul Gortmaker)
- ARM64 SoCs support for the qoriq cpufreq driver (Tang Yuantian)
- intel_pstate driver updates including a new sysfs knob to control
the driver's operation mode and fixes related to the no_turbo sysfs
knob and the hardware-managed P-states feature support (Rafael
Wysocki, Srinivas Pandruvada)
- New interface to export ultra-turbo frequencies for the powernv
cpufreq driver (Shilpasri Bhat)

Pull perf updates from Ingo Molnar:
"On the kernel side the main changes in this cycle were:
- Add Intel Kaby Lake CPU support (Srinivas Pandruvada)
- AMD uncore driver updates for fam17 (Janakarajan Natarajan)
- Intel/PT updates and core events optimizations and cleanups
(Alexander Shishkin)
- cgroups events fixes (David Carrillo-Cisneros)
- kprobes improvements (Masami Hiramatsu)
- ... plus misc fixes and updates.
On the tooling side the main changes were:
- Support clang build in tools/{perf,lib/{bpf,traceevent,api}} with
CC=clang, to, for instance, take advantage of better warnings
(Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo):
- Introduce the 'delta-abs' 'perf diff' compute method, that orders
the histogram entries by the absolute value of the percentage delta
for a function in two perf.data files, i.e. the functions that
changed the most (increase or decrease in samples) comes first
(Namhyung Kim)
- Add support for parsing Intel uncore vendor event files and add
uncore vendor events for the Intel server processors (Haswell,
Broadwell, IvyBridge), Xeon Phi (Knights Landing) and Broadwell DE
(Andi Kleen)
- Introduce 'perf ftrace' a perf front end to the kernel's ftrace
function and function_graph tracer, defaulting to the
"function_graph" tracer, more work will be done in reviving this
effort, forward porting it from its initial patch submission
(Namhyung Kim)
- Add 'e' and 'c' hotkeys to expand/collapse call chains for a single
hist entry in the 'perf report' and 'perf top' TUI (Jiri Olsa)
- Account thread wait time (off CPU time) separately: sleep, iowait
and preempt, based on the prev_state of the last event, show the
breakdown when using "perf sched timehist --state" (Namhyumg Kim)
- Add more triggers to switch the output file (perf.data.TIMESTAMP).
Now, in addition to switching to a different output file when
receiving a SIGUSR2, one can also specify file size and time based
triggers:
perf record -a --switch-output=signal
is equivalent to what we had before:
perf record -a --switch-output
While we can also ask for the file to be "sliced" by size, taking
into account that that will happen only when we get woken up by the
kernel, i.e. one has to take into account the --mmap-pages (the
size of the perf mmap ring buffer):
perf record -a --switch-output=2G
will break the perf.data output into multiple files limited to 2GB
of samples, right when generating the output.
For time based samples, alert() will be used, so to have 1 minute
limited perf.data output files:
perf record -a --switch-output=1m
(Jiri Olsa)
- Improve 'perf trace' (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
- 'perf kallsyms' toy tool to look for extended symbol information on
the running kernel and demonstrate the machine/thread/symbol APIs
for use in other tools, such as 'perf probe' (Arnaldo Carvalho de
Melo)

details"

Pull EFI updates from Ingo Molnar:
"The main changes in this cycle were:
- Changes to the EFI init code to establish whether secure boot
authentication was performed at boot time. (Josh Boyer, David
Howells)
- Wire up the UEFI memory attributes table for x86. This eliminates
any runtime memory regions that are both writable and executable,
on recent firmware versions. (Sai Praneeth)
- Move the BGRT init code to an earlier stage so that we can still
use efi_mem_reserve(). (Dave Young)
- Preserve debug symbols in the ARM/arm64 UEFI stub (Ard Biesheuvel)
- Code deduplication work and various other cleanups (Lukas Wunner)
- ... plus various other fixes and cleanups"

GCC complains about unused variable 'vma' in mark_screen_rdonly() if THP is
disabled:
arch/x86/kernel/vm86_32.c: In function ‘mark_screen_rdonly’:
arch/x86/kernel/vm86_32.c:180:26: warning: unused variable ‘vma’
[-Wunused-variable]
struct vm_area_struct *vma = find_vma(mm, 0xA0000);
That's silly. pmd_trans_huge() resolves to 0 when THP is disabled, so the
whole block should be eliminated.
Moving the variable declaration outside the if() block shuts GCC up.

Just call the msi_* version directly instead of having trivial wrappers for
one or two callsites.

When the TSC is marked reliable then the synchronization check is skipped,
but that also skips the TSC ADJUST sanitizing code. So on a machine with a
wreckaged BIOS the TSC deviation between CPUs might go unnoticed.
Let the TSC adjust sanitizing code run unconditionally and just skip the
expensive synchronization checks when TSC is marked reliable.
