Pull GPIO updates from Linus Walleij:
"This is the bulk of GPIO changes for the v4.17 kernel cycle:
New drivers:
- Nintendo Wii GameCube GPIO, known as "Hollywood"
- Raspberry Pi mailbox service GPIO expander
- Spreadtrum main SC9860 SoC and IEC GPIO controllers.
Improvements:
- Implemented .get_multiple() callback for most of the
high-performance industrial GPIO cards for the ISA bus.
- ISA GPIO drivers now select the ISA_BUS_API instead of depending on
it. This is merged with the same pattern for all the ISA drivers
and some other Kconfig cleanups related to this.
Cleanup:
- Delete the TZ1090 GPIO drivers following the deletion of this SoC
from the ARM tree.
- Move the documentation over to driver-api to conform with the rest
of the kernel documentation build.
- Continue to make the GPIO drivers include only
<linux/gpio/driver.h> and not the too broad <linux/gpio.h> that we
want to get rid of.
- Managed to remove VLA allocation from two drivers pending more
fixes in this area for the next merge window.
- Misc janitorial fixes"

A lot of Kconfig symbols have architecture specific dependencies.
In those cases that depend on architectures we have already removed,
they can be omitted.

PC/104 device driver Kconfig options previously had an implicit EXPERT
dependency by way of an explicit ISA_BUS_API dependency. Now that these
driver Kconfig options select ISA_BUS_API rather than depend on it, the
PC104 Kconfig option should have an explicit EXPERT dependency.
The PC/104 form factor and bus architecture are common in embedded
and specialized systems, but uncommon in typical desktop setups. For
this reason, it is best to mask these devices and configurations via the
EXPERT Kconfig option because the majority of users will never need to
concern themselves with PC/104.

Provide core serializing membarrier command to support memory reclaim
by JIT.
Each architecture needs to explicitly opt into that support by
documenting in their architecture code how they provide the core
serializing instructions required when returning from the membarrier
IPI, and after the scheduler has updated the curr->mm pointer (before
going back to user-space). They should then select
ARCH_HAS_MEMBARRIER_SYNC_CORE to enable support for that command on
their architecture.
Architectures selecting this feature need to either document that
they issue core serializing instructions when returning to user-space,
or implement their architecture-specific sync_core_before_usermode().

Introduce an architecture function that ensures the current CPU
issues a core serializing instruction before returning to usermode.
This is needed for the membarrier "sync_core" command.
Architectures defining the sync_core_before_usermode() static inline
need to select ARCH_HAS_SYNC_CORE_BEFORE_USERMODE.

Allow PowerPC to skip the full memory barrier in switch_mm(), and
only issue the barrier when scheduling into a task belonging to a
process that has registered to use expedited private.
Threads targeting the same VM but which belong to different thread
groups is a tricky case. It has a few consequences:
It turns out that we cannot rely on get_nr_threads(p) to count the
number of threads using a VM. We can use
(atomic_read(&mm->mm_users) == 1 && get_nr_threads(p) == 1)
instead to skip the synchronize_sched() for cases where the VM only has
a single user, and that user only has a single thread.
It also turns out that we cannot use for_each_thread() to set
thread flags in all threads using a VM, as it only iterates on the
thread group.
Therefore, test the membarrier state variable directly rather than
relying on thread flags. This means
membarrier_register_private_expedited() needs to set the
MEMBARRIER_STATE_PRIVATE_EXPEDITED flag, issue synchronize_sched(), and
only then set MEMBARRIER_STATE_PRIVATE_EXPEDITED_READY which allows
private expedited membarrier commands to succeed.
membarrier_arch_switch_mm() now tests for the
MEMBARRIER_STATE_PRIVATE_EXPEDITED flag.

Daniel Borkmann says:
====================
pull-request: bpf 2018-01-09
The following pull-request contains BPF updates for your *net* tree.
The main changes are:
1) Prevent out-of-bounds speculation in BPF maps by masking the
index after bounds checks in order to fix spectre v1, and
add an option BPF_JIT_ALWAYS_ON into Kconfig that allows for
removing the BPF interpreter from the kernel in favor of
JIT-only mode to make spectre v2 harder, from Alexei.
2) Remove false sharing of map refcount with max_entries which
was used in spectre v1, from Daniel.
3) Add a missing NULL psock check in sockmap in order to fix
a race, from John.
4) Fix test_align BPF selftest case since a recent change in
verifier rejects the bit-wise arithmetic on pointers
earlier but test_align update was missing, from Alexei.

The BPF interpreter has been used as part of the spectre 2 attack CVE-2017-5715.
A quote from goolge project zero blog:
"At this point, it would normally be necessary to locate gadgets in
the host kernel code that can be used to actually leak data by reading
from an attacker-controlled location, shifting and masking the result
appropriately and then using the result of that as offset to an
attacker-controlled address for a load. But piecing gadgets together
and figuring out which ones work in a speculation context seems annoying.
So instead, we decided to use the eBPF interpreter, which is built into
the host kernel - while there is no legitimate way to invoke it from inside
a VM, the presence of the code in the host kernel's text section is sufficient
to make it usable for the attack, just like with ordinary ROP gadgets."
To make attacker job harder introduce BPF_JIT_ALWAYS_ON config
option that removes interpreter from the kernel in favor of JIT-only mode.
So far eBPF JIT is supported by:
x64, arm64, arm32, sparc64, s390, powerpc64, mips64
The start of JITed program is randomized and code page is marked as read-only.
In addition "constant blinding" can be turned on with net.core.bpf_jit_harden
v2->v3:
- move __bpf_prog_ret0 under ifdef (Daniel)
v1->v2:
- fix init order, test_bpf and cBPF (Daniel's feedback)
- fix offloaded bpf (Jakub's feedback)
- add 'return 0' dummy in case something can invoke prog->bpf_func
- retarget bpf tree. For bpf-next the patch would need one extra hunk.
It will be sent when the trees are merged back to net-next
Considered doing:
int bpf_jit_enable __read_mostly = BPF_EBPF_JIT_DEFAULT;
but it seems better to land the patch as-is and in bpf-next remove
bpf_jit_enable global variable from all JITs, consolidate in one place
and remove this jit_init() function.

On uniprocessor systems, critical and non-critical tasks cannot be
isolated, as there is only a single CPU core. Hence enabling CPU
isolation by default on such systems does not make much sense.
Instead of changing the default for !SMP, fix this by making the feature
depend on SMP, with an override for compile-testing. Note that its sole
selector (NO_HZ_FULL) already depends on SMP.
This decreases kernel size for a default uniprocessor kernel by ca. 1 KiB.

The "isolcpus=" boot parameter support was always built-in before we
moved the related code under CONFIG_CPU_ISOLATION. Having it disabled by
default is very confusing for people accustomed to use this parameter.
So enable it by dafault to keep the previous behaviour but keep it
optable for those who want to tinify their kernels.

Clean up the EXPERT menu (yet again).
Move FHANDLE and CHECKPOINT_RESTORE into the primary EXPERT menu since
they already depend on EXPERT.
Move BPF_SYSCALL and USERFAULTFD out of the EXPERT Kconfig symbols menu
list since they do not depend on EXPERT and were breaking the continuity
of that menu list.
Move all of the KALLSYMS Kconfig symbols to the end of the EXPERT menu.
This separates the kernel services from the build options.
This patch depends on [PATCH] pci: move PCI_QUIRKS to the PCI bus menu
(https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/11/2/907).

According to discussion with Christoph
(https://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=150695909709711&w=2), it sounds like
it is pointless to keep CONFIG_SLABINFO around.
This patch removes the CONFIG_SLABINFO config option, but /proc/slabinfo
is still available.

We want to centralize the isolation management, done by the housekeeping
subsystem. Therefore we need to handle the nohz_full= parameter from
there.
Since nohz_full= so far has involved unbound timers, watchdog, RCU
and tilegx NAPI isolation, we keep that default behaviour.
nohz_full= will be deprecated in the future. We want to control
the isolation features from the isolcpus= parameter.

CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL
Split the housekeeping config from CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL. This way we finally
separate the isolation code from NOHZ.
Although a dependency to CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL remains for now, while the

The choice containing the CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_PERFORMANCE symbol
accidentally added a "CONFIG_" prefix when trying to make it the
default, selecting an undefined symbol as the default.
The mistake is harmless here: Since the default symbol is not visible,
the choice falls back on using the visible symbol as the default
instead, which is CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_PERFORMANCE, as intended.
A patch that makes Kconfig print a warning in this case has been
submitted separately:

This SLUB free list pointer obfuscation code is modified from Brad
Spengler/PaX Team's code in the last public patch of grsecurity/PaX
based on my understanding of the code. Changes or omissions from the
original code are mine and don't reflect the original grsecurity/PaX
code.
This adds a per-cache random value to SLUB caches that is XORed with
their freelist pointer address and value. This adds nearly zero
overhead and frustrates the very common heap overflow exploitation
method of overwriting freelist pointers.
A recent example of the attack is written up here:
http://cyseclabs.com/blog/cve-2016-6187-heap-off-by-one-exploit
and there is a section dedicated to the technique the book "A Guide to
Kernel Exploitation: Attacking the Core".
This is based on patches by Daniel Micay, and refactored to minimize the
use of #ifdef.
With 200-count cycles of "hackbench -g 20 -l 1000" I saw the following
run times:
before:
mean 10.11882499999999999995
variance .03320378329145728642
stdev .18221905304181911048
after:
mean 10.12654000000000000014
variance .04700556623115577889
stdev .21680767106160192064
The difference gets lost in the noise, but if the above is to be taken
literally, using CONFIG_FREELIST_HARDENED is 0.07% slower.

Some hardened environments want to build kernels with slab_nomerge
already set (so that they do not depend on remembering to set the kernel
command line option). This is desired to reduce the risk of kernel heap
overflows being able to overwrite objects from merged caches and changes
the requirements for cache layout control, increasing the difficulty of
these attacks. By keeping caches unmerged, these kinds of exploits can
usually only damage objects in the same cache (though the risk to
metadata exploitation is unchanged).

If the CONFIG_SRCU option is not selected, for example, when building
arch/tile allnoconfig, the following build errors appear:
kernel/rcu/tree.o: In function `srcu_online_cpu':
tree.c:(.text+0x4248): multiple definition of `srcu_online_cpu'
kernel/rcu/srcutree.o:srcutree.c:(.text+0x2120): first defined here
kernel/rcu/tree.o: In function `srcu_offline_cpu':
tree.c:(.text+0x4250): multiple definition of `srcu_offline_cpu'
kernel/rcu/srcutree.o:srcutree.c:(.text+0x2160): first defined here
The corresponding .config file shows CONFIG_TREE_SRCU=y, but no sign
of CONFIG_SRCU, which fatally confuses SRCU's #ifdefs, resulting in
the above errors. The reason this occurs is the folowing line in
init/Kconfig's definition for TREE_SRCU:
default y if !TINY_RCU && !CLASSIC_SRCU
If CONFIG_CLASSIC_SRCU=n, as it will be in for allnoconfig, and if
CONFIG_SMP=y, then we will get CONFIG_TREE_SRCU=y but no CONFIG_SRCU,
as seen in the .config file, and which will result in the above errors.
This error did not show up during rcutorture testing because rcutorture
forces CONFIG_SRCU=y, as it must to prevent build errors in rcutorture.c.
This commit therefore conditions TREE_SRCU (and TINY_SRCU, while it is
at it) with SRCU, like this:
default y if SRCU && !TINY_RCU && !CLASSIC_SRCU

The TREE_SRCU rewrite is large and a bit on the non-simple side, so
this commit helps reduce risk by allowing the old v4.11 SRCU algorithm
to be selected using a new CLASSIC_SRCU Kconfig option that depends
on RCU_EXPERT. The default is to use the new TREE_SRCU and TINY_SRCU
algorithms, in order to help get these the testing that they need.
However, if your users do not require the update-side scalability that
is to be provided by TREE_SRCU, select RCU_EXPERT and then CLASSIC_SRCU
to revert back to the old classic SRCU algorithm.

"Several noteworthy changes.
- Parav's rdma controller is finally merged. It is very straight

- kernel/cgroup.c got too chubby and disorganized. Created
kernel/cgroup/ subdirectory and moved all cgroup related files
under kernel/ there and reorganized the core code. This hurts for
backporting patches but was long overdue.
- cgroup v2 process listing reimplemented so that it no longer
depends on allocating a buffer large enough to cache the entire
result to sort and uniq the output. v2 has always mangled the sort
order to ensure that users don't depend on the sorted output, so
this shouldn't surprise anybody. This makes the pid listing
functions use the same iterators that are used internally, which
have to have the same iterating capabilities anyway.
- perf cgroup filtering now works automatically on cgroup v2. This

cracks.

SLUB creates a per-cache directory under /sys/kernel/slab which hosts a
bunch of debug files. Usually, there aren't that many caches on a
system and this doesn't really matter; however, if memcg is in use, each
cache can have per-cgroup sub-caches. SLUB creates the same directories
for these sub-caches under /sys/kernel/slab/$CACHE/cgroup.
Unfortunately, because there can be a lot of cgroups, active or
draining, the product of the numbers of caches, cgroups and files in
each directory can reach a very high number - hundreds of thousands is
commonplace. Millions and beyond aren't difficult to reach either.
What's under /sys/kernel/slab is primarily for debugging and the
information and control on the a root cache already cover its
sub-caches. While having a separate directory for each sub-cache can be
helpful for development, it doesn't make much sense to pay this amount
of overhead by default.
This patch introduces a boot parameter slub_memcg_sysfs which determines
whether to create sysfs directories for per-memcg sub-caches. It also
adds CONFIG_SLUB_MEMCG_SYSFS_ON which determines the boot parameter's
default value and defaults to 0.
