Pull locking updates from Ingo Molnar:
"The biggest change to core locking facilities in this cycle is the
introduction of local_lock_t - this primitive comes from the -rt
project and identifies CPU-local locking dependencies normally handled
opaquely beind preempt_disable() or local_irq_save/disable() critical
sections.
The generated code on mainline kernels doesn't change as a result, but
still there are benefits: improved debugging and better documentation
of data structure accesses.
The new local_lock_t primitives are introduced and then utilized in a
couple of kernel subsystems. No change in functionality is intended.
There's also other smaller changes and cleanups"

Add support for non-block devices (e.g. MTD). A non-block driver calls

way to remove records stored to an MTD.

pstore/blk is similar to pstore/ram, but uses a block device as the
storage rather than persistent ram.
The pstore/blk backend solves two common use-cases that used to preclude
using pstore/ram:
- not all devices have a battery that could be used to persist
regular RAM across power failures.
- most embedded intelligent equipment have no persistent ram, which
increases costs, instead preferring cheaper solutions, like block
devices.
pstore/blk provides separate configurations for the end user and for the
block drivers. User configuration determines how pstore/blk operates, such
as record sizes, max kmsg dump reasons, etc. These can be set by Kconfig
and/or module parameters, but module parameter have priority over Kconfig.
Driver configuration covers all the details about the target block device,
such as total size of the device and how to perform read/write operations.
These are provided by block drivers, calling pstore_register_blkdev(),
including an optional panic_write callback used to bypass regular IO
APIs in an effort to avoid potentially destabilized kernel code during
a panic.

Now that pstore_register() can correctly pass max_reason to the kmesg
dump facility, introduce a new "max_reason" module parameter and
"max-reason" Device Tree field.
The "dump_oops" module parameter and "dump-oops" Device
Tree field are now considered deprecated, but are now automatically
converted to their corresponding max_reason values when present, though
the new max_reason setting has precedence.
For struct ramoops_platform_data, the "dump_oops" member is entirely
replaced by a new "max_reason" member, with the only existing user
updated in place.
Additionally remove the "reason" filter logic from ramoops_pstore_write(),
as that is not specifically needed anymore, though technically
this is a change in behavior for any ramoops users also setting the
printk.always_kmsg_dump boot param, which will cause ramoops to behave as
if max_reason was set to KMSG_DUMP_MAX.

dumps are sent to pstore storage backends.
Those backends that do not explicitly set this field (keeping it equal to
0), get the default behavior: store only Oopses and Panics, or everything
if the printk.always_kmsg_dump boot param is set.

The pstore subsystem already had a private version of this function.
With the coming addition of the pstore/zone driver, this needs to be
shared. As it really should live with printk, move it there instead.

kmsg_dump() allows to dump kmesg buffer for various system events: oops,
panic, reboot, etc. It provides an interface to register a callback
call for clients, and in that callback interface there is a field
"max_reason", but it was getting ignored when set to any "reason"
higher than KMSG_DUMP_OOPS unless "always_kmsg_dump" was passed as
kernel parameter.
Allow clients to actually control their "max_reason", and keep the
current behavior when "max_reason" is not set.

To turn the KMSG_DUMP_* reasons into a more ordered list, collapse
the redundant KMSG_DUMP_(RESTART|HALT|POWEROFF) reasons into
KMSG_DUMP_SHUTDOWN. The current users already don't meaningfully
distinguish between them, so there's no need to, as discussed here:

In order to more cleanly pass around backend names, make the "name" member
const. This means the module param needs to be dynamic (technically, it
was before, so this actually cleans up a minor memory leak if a backend
was specified and then gets unloaded.)

Hi!
This patchset is another attempt to fix the regulator coupling on
Exynos5800/5422 SoCs. Here are links to the previous attempts:

https://lore.kernel.org/linux-pm/20200528131130.17984-1-m.szyprowski@samsung.com/
The problem is with "vdd_int" regulator coupled with "vdd_arm" on Odroid
XU3/XU4 boards family. "vdd_arm" is handled by CPUfreq. "vdd_int" is
handled by devfreq. CPUfreq initialized quite early during boot and it
starts changing OPPs and "vdd_arm" value. Sometimes CPU activity during
boot goes down and some low-frequency OPPs are selected, what in turn
causes lowering "vdd_arm". This happens before devfreq applies its
requirements on "vdd_int". Regulator balancing code reduces "vdd_arm"
voltage value, what in turn causes lowering "vdd_int" value to the lowest
possible value. This is much below the operation point of the wcore bus,
which still runs at the highest frequency.
The issue was hard to notice because in the most cases the board managed
to boot properly, even when the regulator was set to lowest value allowed
by the regulator constraints. However, it caused some random issues,
which can be observed as "Unhandled prefetch abort" or low USB stability.
Adding more and more special cases to the generic code has been rejected,
so the only way to ensure the desired behavior on Exynos5800-based SoCs
is to make a custom regulator coupler driver.
Best regards,
Marek Szyprowski

I noticed that oftentimes I use regmap_update_bits() for simple bit
setting or clearing. In this case the fourth argument is superfluous as
it's always 0 or equal to the mask argument.
This series proposes to add simple bit operations for setting, clearing
and testing specific bits with regmap.
The second patch uses all three in a driver that got recently picked into
the net-next tree.
The patches obviously target different trees so - if you're ok with
the change itself - I propose you pick the first one into your regmap
tree for v5.8 and then I'll resend the second patch to add the first
user for these macros for v5.9.

- convert the new macros to static inline functions

Looking at the Felix and Ocelot drivers, Maxim asked if it would be
possible to use them as a base for a new driver for the switch inside
NXP T1040. Turns out, it is! The result is a driver eerily similar to
Felix.
The biggest challenge seems to be getting register read/write API
generic enough to cover such wild bitfield variations between hardware
generations. There is a patch on the regmap core which I would like to
get in through the networking subsystem, if possible (and if Mark is
ok), since it's a trivial addition.

In many instances regmap_update_bits() is used for simple bit setting
and clearing. In these cases the last argument is redundant and we can
hide it with a static inline function.
This adds three new helpers for simple bit operations: set_bits,
clear_bits and test_bits (the last one defined as a regular function).

Recent change in virtio_net_hdr_to_skb() broke some packetdrill tests.
When --mss=XXX option is set, packetdrill always provide gso_type & gso_size
for its inbound packets, regardless of packet size.
if (packet->tcp && packet->mss) {
if (packet->ipv4)
gso.gso_type = VIRTIO_NET_HDR_GSO_TCPV4;
else
gso.gso_type = VIRTIO_NET_HDR_GSO_TCPV6;
gso.gso_size = packet->mss;
}
Since many other programs could do the same, relax virtio_net_hdr_to_skb()
to no longer return an error, but instead ignore gso settings.
This keeps Willem intent to make sure no malicious packet could
reach gso stack.
Note that TCP stack has a special logic in tcp_set_skb_tso_segs()
to clear gso_size for small packets.

Replace superfluous VM_BUG_ON() with comment about correct usage.
Technically reverts commit 1d148e218a0d ("mm: add VM_BUG_ON_PAGE() to
page_mapcount()"), but context lines have changed.
Function isolate_migratepages_block() runs some checks out of lru_lock
when choose pages for migration. After checking PageLRU() it checks
extra page references by comparing page_count() and page_mapcount().
Between these two checks page could be removed from lru, freed and taken
by slab.
As a result this race triggers VM_BUG_ON(PageSlab()) in page_mapcount().
Race window is tiny. For certain workload this happens around once a
year.

For hwmon drivers using the hwmon_device_register_with_info() API, it
is desirable to have a generic notification mechanism available. This
mechanism can be used to notify userspace as well as the thermal
subsystem if the driver experiences any events, such as warning or
critical alarms.
Implement hwmon_notify_event() to provide this mechanism. The function
generates a sysfs event and a udev event. If the device is registered
with the thermal subsystem and the event is associated with a temperature
sensor, also notify the thermal subsystem that a thermal event occurred.

The various struct pagevec per CPU variables are protected by disabling
either preemption or interrupts across the critical sections. Inside
these sections spinlocks have to be acquired.
These spinlocks are regular spinlock_t types which are converted to
"sleeping" spinlocks on PREEMPT_RT enabled kernels. Obviously sleeping
locks cannot be acquired in preemption or interrupt disabled sections.
local locks provide a trivial way to substitute preempt and interrupt
disable instances. On a non PREEMPT_RT enabled kernel local_lock() maps
to preempt_disable() and local_lock_irq() to local_irq_disable().
Create lru_rotate_pvecs containing the pagevec and the locallock.
Create lru_pvecs containing the remaining pagevecs and the locallock.
Add lru_add_drain_cpu_zone() which is used from compact_zone() to avoid
exporting the pvec structure.
Change the relevant call sites to acquire these locks instead of using
preempt_disable() / get_cpu() / get_cpu_var() and local_irq_disable() /
local_irq_save().
There is neither a functional change nor a change in the generated
binary code for non PREEMPT_RT enabled non-debug kernels.
When lockdep is enabled local locks have lockdep maps embedded. These
allow lockdep to validate the protections, i.e. inappropriate usage of a
preemption only protected sections would result in a lockdep warning
while the same problem would not be noticed with a plain
preempt_disable() based protection.
local locks also improve readability as they provide a named scope for
the protections while preempt/interrupt disable are opaque scopeless.
Finally local locks allow PREEMPT_RT to substitute them with real
locking primitives to ensure the correctness of operation in a fully
preemptible kernel.

The radix-tree and idr preload mechanisms use preempt_disable() to protect
the complete operation between xxx_preload() and xxx_preload_end().
As the code inside the preempt disabled section acquires regular spinlocks,
which are converted to 'sleeping' spinlocks on a PREEMPT_RT kernel and
eventually calls into a memory allocator, this conflicts with the RT
semantics.
Convert it to a local_lock which allows RT kernels to substitute them with
a real per CPU lock. On non RT kernels this maps to preempt_disable() as
before, but provides also lockdep coverage of the critical region.
No functional change.

preempt_disable() and local_irq_disable/save() are in principle per CPU big
kernel locks. This has several downsides:
- The protection scope is unknown
- Violation of protection rules is hard to detect by instrumentation
- For PREEMPT_RT such sections, unless in low level critical code, can
violate the preemptability constraints.
To address this PREEMPT_RT introduced the concept of local_locks which are
strictly per CPU.
The lock operations map to preempt_disable(), local_irq_disable/save() and
the enabling counterparts on non RT enabled kernels.
If lockdep is enabled local locks gain a lock map which tracks the usage
context. This will catch cases where an area is protected by
preempt_disable() but the access also happens from interrupt context. local
locks have identified quite a few such issues over the years, the most
recent example is:
b7d5dc21072cd ("random: add a spinlock_t to struct batched_entropy")
Aside of the lockdep coverage this also improves code readability as it
precisely annotates the protection scope.
PREEMPT_RT substitutes these local locks with 'sleeping' spinlocks to
protect such sections while maintaining preemtability and CPU locality.
local locks can replace:
- preempt_enable()/disable() pairs
- local_irq_disable/enable() pairs
- local_irq_save/restore() pairs
They are also used to replace code which implicitly disables preemption

Pull fanotify FAN_DIR_MODIFY disabling from Jan Kara:
"A single patch that disables FAN_DIR_MODIFY support that was merged in
this merge window.
When discussing further functionality we realized it may be more
logical to guard it with a feature flag or to call things slightly
differently (or maybe not) so let's not set the API in stone for now."
