PPC: Mostly bug fixes. ARM: No big features, but many small fixes and prerequisites including: - a number of fixes for the arch-timer - introducing proper level-triggered semantics for the arch-timers - a series of patches to synchronously halt a guest (prerequisite for IRQ forwarding) - some tracepoint improvements - a tweak for the EL2 panic handlers - some more VGIC cleanups getting rid of redundant state x86: Quite a few changes: - support for VT-d posted interrupts (i.e. PCI devices can inject interrupts directly into vCPUs). This introduces a new component (in virt/lib/) that connects VFIO and KVM together. The same infrastructure will be used for ARM interrupt forwarding as well. - more Hyper-V features, though the main one Hyper-V synthetic interrupt controller will have to wait for 4.5. These will let KVM expose Hyper-V devices. - nested virtualization now supports VPID (same as PCID but for vCPUs) which makes it quite a bit faster - for future hardware that supports NVDIMM, there is support for clflushopt, clwb, pcommit - support for "split irqchip", i.e. LAPIC in kernel + IOAPIC/PIC/PIT in userspace, which reduces the attack surface of the hypervisor - obligatory smattering of SMM fixes - on the guest side, stable scheduler clock support was rewritten to not require help from the hypervisor" * tag 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/virt/kvm/kvm: (123 commits) KVM: VMX: Fix commit which broke PML KVM: x86: obey KVM_X86_QUIRK_CD_NW_CLEARED in kvm_set_cr0() KVM: x86: allow RSM from 64-bit mode KVM: VMX: fix SMEP and SMAP without EPT KVM: x86: move kvm_set_irq_inatomic to legacy device assignment KVM: device assignment: remove pointless #ifdefs KVM: x86: merge kvm_arch_set_irq with kvm_set_msi_inatomic KVM: x86: zero apic_arb_prio on reset drivers/hv: share Hyper-V SynIC constants with userspace KVM: x86: handle SMBASE as physical address in RSM KVM: x86: add read_phys to x86_emulate_ops KVM: x86: removing unused variable KVM: don't pointlessly leave KVM_COMPAT=y in non-KVM configs KVM: arm/arm64: Merge vgic_set_lr() and vgic_sync_lr_elrsr() KVM: arm/arm64: Clean up vgic_retire_lr() and surroundings KVM: arm/arm64: Optimize away redundant LR tracking KVM: s390: use simple switch statement as multiplexer KVM: s390: drop useless newline in debugging data KVM: s390: SCA must not cross page boundaries KVM: arm: Do not indent the arguments of DECLARE_BITMAP ...

First off, the Collaborative Processor Performance Control interface (version 2) defined by ACPI will now be supported on ARM64 along with a cpufreq frontend for CPU performance scaling. Second, ACPI gets a new infrastructure for the early probing of IRQ chips and clock sources (along the lines of the existing similar mechanism for DT). Next, the ACPI core and the generic device properties API will now support a recently introduced hierarchical properties extension of the _DSD (Device Specific Data) ACPI device configuration object. If the ACPI platform firmware uses that extension to organize device properties in a hierarchical way, the kernel will automatically handle it and make those properties available to device drivers via the generic device properties API. It also will be possible to build the ACPICA's AML interpreter debugger into the kernel now and use that to diagnose AML-related problems more efficiently. In the future, this should make it possible to single-step AML execution and do similar things. Interesting stuff, although somewhat experimental at this point. Finally, the PM core gets a new mechanism that can be used by device drivers to distinguish between suspend-to-RAM (based on platform firmware support) and suspend-to-idle (or other variants of system suspend the platform firmware is not involved in) and possibly optimize their device suspend/resume handling accordingly. In addition to that, some existing features are re-organized quite substantially. First, the ACPI-based handling of PCI host bridges on x86 and ia64 is unified and the common code goes into the ACPI core (so as to reduce code duplication and eliminate non-essential differences between the two architectures in that area). Second, the Operating Performance Points (OPP) framework is reorganized to make the code easier to find and follow. Next, the cpufreq core's sysfs interface is reorganized to get rid of the "primary CPU" concept for configurations in which the same performance scaling settings are shared between multiple CPUs. Finally, some interfaces that aren't necessary any more are dropped from the generic power domains framework. On top of the above we have some minor extensions, cleanups and bug fixes in multiple places, as usual. Specifics: - ACPICA update to upstream revision 20150930 (Bob Moore, Lv Zheng). The most significant change is to allow the AML debugger to be built into the kernel. On top of that there is an update related to the NFIT table (the ACPI persistent memory interface) and a few fixes and cleanups. - ACPI CPPC2 (Collaborative Processor Performance Control v2) support along with a cpufreq frontend (Ashwin Chaugule). This can only be enabled on ARM64 at this point. - New ACPI infrastructure for the early probing of IRQ chips and clock sources (Marc Zyngier). - Support for a new hierarchical properties extension of the ACPI _DSD (Device Specific Data) device configuration object allowing the kernel to handle hierarchical properties (provided by the platform firmware this way) automatically and make them available to device drivers via the generic device properties interface (Rafael Wysocki). - Generic device properties API extension to obtain an index of certain string value in an array of strings, along the lines of of_property_match_string(), but working for all of the supported firmware node types, and support for the "dma-names" device property based on it (Mika Westerberg). - ACPI core fix to parse the MADT (Multiple APIC Description Table) entries in the order expected by platform firmware (and mandated by the specification) to avoid confusion on systems with more than 255 logical CPUs (Lukasz Anaczkowski). - Consolidation of the ACPI-based handling of PCI host bridges on x86 and ia64 (Jiang Liu). - ACPI core fixes to ensure that the correct IRQ number is used to represent the SCI (System Control Interrupt) in the cases when it has been re-mapped (Chen Yu). - New ACPI backlight quirk for Lenovo IdeaPad S405 (Hans de Goede). - ACPI EC driver fixes (Lv Zheng). - Assorted ACPI fixes and cleanups (Dan Carpenter, Insu Yun, Jiri Kosina, Rami Rosen, Rasmus Villemoes). - New mechanism in the PM core allowing drivers to check if the platform firmware is going to be involved in the upcoming system suspend or if it has been involved in the suspend the system is resuming from at the moment (Rafael Wysocki). This should allow drivers to optimize their suspend/resume handling in some cases and the changes include a couple of users of it (the i8042 input driver, PCI PM). - PCI PM fix to prevent runtime-suspended devices with PME enabled from being resumed during system suspend even if they aren't configured to wake up the system from sleep (Rafael Wysocki). - New mechanism to report the number of a wakeup IRQ that woke up the system from sleep last time (Alexandra Yates). - Removal of unused interfaces from the generic power domains framework and fixes related to latency measurements in that code (Ulf Hansson, Daniel Lezcano). - cpufreq core sysfs interface rework to make it handle CPUs that share performance scaling settings (represented by a common cpufreq policy object) more symmetrically (Viresh Kumar). This should help to simplify the CPU offline/online handling among other things. - cpufreq core fixes and cleanups (Viresh Kumar). - intel_pstate fixes related to the Turbo Activation Ratio (TAR) mechanism on client platforms which causes the turbo P-states range to vary depending on platform firmware settings (Srinivas Pandruvada). - intel_pstate sysfs interface fix (Prarit Bhargava). - Assorted cpufreq driver (imx, tegra20, powernv, integrator) fixes and cleanups (Bai Ping, Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz, Shilpasri G Bhat, Luis de Bethencourt). - cpuidle mvebu driver cleanups (Russell King). - OPP (Operating Performance Points) framework code reorganization to make it more maintainable (Viresh Kumar). - Intel Broxton support for the RAPL (Running Average Power Limits) power capping driver (Amy Wiles). - Assorted power management code fixes and cleanups (Dan Carpenter, Geert Uytterhoeven, Geliang Tang, Luis de Bethencourt, Rasmus Villemoes)" * tag 'pm+acpi-4.4-rc1-1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm: (108 commits) cpufreq: postfix policy directory with the first CPU in related_cpus cpufreq: create cpu/cpufreq/policyX directories cpufreq: remove cpufreq_sysfs_{create|remove}_file() cpufreq: create cpu/cpufreq at boot time cpufreq: Use cpumask_copy instead of cpumask_or to copy a mask cpufreq: ondemand: Drop unnecessary locks from update_sampling_rate() PM / Domains: Merge measurements for PM QoS device latencies PM / Domains: Don't measure ->start|stop() latency in system PM callbacks PM / clk: Fix broken build due to non-matching code and header #ifdefs ACPI / Documentation: add copy_dsdt to ACPI format options ACPI / sysfs: correctly check failing memory allocation ACPI / video: Add a quirk to force native backlight on Lenovo IdeaPad S405 ACPI / CPPC: Fix potential memory leak ACPI / CPPC: signedness bug in register_pcc_channel() ACPI / PAD: power_saving_thread() is not freezable ACPI / PM: Fix incorrect wakeup IRQ setting during suspend-to-idle ACPI: Using correct irq when waiting for events ACPI: Use correct IRQ when uninstalling ACPI interrupt handler cpuidle: mvebu: disable the bind/unbind attributes and use builtin_platform_driver cpuidle: mvebu: clean up multiple platform drivers ...

This fallback is accompanied by a WARN_ON(), and both occur when the rcutree.rcu_fanout_leaf value is too small to accommodate the number of CPUs. For example, given the current four-level limit for the rcu_node tree, a system with more than 16 CPUs built with CONFIG_FANOUT=2 must have rcutree.rcu_fanout_leaf larger than 2.

(Leif Lindholm) - Add support to the x86 EFI boot stub for 64-bit Graphics Output Protocol frame buffer addresses. (Matt Fleming) - Detect when the UEFI v2.5 EFI_PROPERTIES_TABLE feature is enabled in the firmware and set an efi.flags bit so the kernel knows when it can apply more strict runtime mapping attributes - Ard Biesheuvel - Auto-load the efi-pstore module on EFI systems, just like we currently do for the efivars module. (Ben Hutchings) - Add "efi_fake_mem" kernel parameter which allows the system's EFI memory map to be updated with additional attributes for specific memory ranges.

| |/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 64 bit pv-domains under Xen are limited to 512 GB of RAM today. The main reason has been the 3 level p2m tree, which was replaced by the virtual mapped linear p2m list. Parallel to the p2m list which is being used by the kernel itself there is a 3 level mfn tree for usage by the Xen tools and eventually for crash dump analysis. For this tree the linear p2m list can serve as a replacement, too. As the kernel can't know whether the tools are capable of dealing with the p2m list instead of the mfn tree, the limit of 512 GB can't be dropped in all cases. This patch replaces the hard limit by a kernel parameter which tells the kernel to obey the 512 GB limit or not. The default is selected by a configuration parameter which specifies whether the 512 GB limit should be active per default for domUs (domain save/restore/migration and crash dump analysis are affected). Memory above the domain limit is returned to the hypervisor instead of being identity mapped, which was wrong anyway. The kernel configuration parameter to specify the maximum size of a domain can be deleted, as it is not relevant any more.

The only new feature added by this update is the support for overriding objects in the ACPI namespace and a new ACPI table that can be used for that called the Override System Definition Table (OSDT). That should allow us to "patch" the ACPI namespace built from incomplete or incorrect ACPI System Definition tables (DSDT, SSDT) during system startup without the need to provide replacements for all of those tables in the future.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The platform firmware on some systems expects Linux to return "5" as the supported ACPI revision which makes it expose system configuration information in a special way. For example, based on what ACPI exports as the supported revision, Dell XPS 13 (2015) configures its audio device to either work in HDA mode or in I2S mode, where the former is supposed to be used on Linux until the latter is fully supported (in the kernel as well as in user space). Since ACPI 6 mandates that _REV should return "2" if ACPI 2 or later is supported by the OS, a subsequent change will make that happen, so make it possible to override that on systems where "5" is expected to be returned for Linux to work correctly one them (such as the Dell machine mentioned above).

Changing the builtin "ima_tcb" policy could potentially break existing users. Instead of defining a new separate boot command line option each time the builtin measurement policy is modified, this patch defines a single generic boot command line option "ima_policy=" to specify the builtin policy and deprecates the use of the builtin ima_tcb policy.

This implements support for this and allows userspace to request async probe as a preference through a generic shared device driver module parameter, async_probe. Implementation for async probe is supported through a module parameter given that since synchronous probe has been prevalent for years some userspace might exist which relies on the fact that the device driver will probe synchronously and the assumption that devices it provides will be immediately available after this.

The cpufreq core fixes from Viresh Kumar are quite significant too as far as the number of commits goes and because they should reduce CPU online/offline overhead quite a bit in the majority of cases. From the new featues point of view, the ACPICA update (to upstream revision 20150515) adding support for new ACPI 6 material to ACPICA is the one that matters the most as some new significant features will be based on it going forward. Also included is an update of the ACPI device power management core to follow ACPI 6 (which in turn reflects the Windows' device PM implementation), a PM core extension to support wakeup interrupts in a more generic way and support for the ACPI _CCA device configuration object. The rest is mostly fixes and cleanups all over and some documentation updates, including new DT bindings for Operating Performance Points. There is one fix for a regression introduced in the 4.1 cycle, but it adds quite a number of lines of code, it wasn't really ready before Thursday and you were on vacation, so I refrained from pushing it on the last minute for 4.1. Specifics: - ACPICA update to upstream revision 20150515 including basic support for ACPI 6 features: new ACPI tables introduced by ACPI 6 (STAO, XENV, WPBT, NFIT, IORT), changes related to the other tables (DTRM, FADT, LPIT, MADT), new predefined names (_BTH, _CR3, _DSD, _LPI, _MTL, _PRR, _RDI, _RST, _TFP, _TSN), fixes and cleanups (Bob Moore, Lv Zheng). - ACPI device power management core code update to follow ACPI 6 which reflects the ACPI device power management implementation in Windows (Rafael J Wysocki). - rework of the backlight interface selection logic to reduce the number of kernel command line options and improve the handling of DMI quirks that may be involved in that and to make the code generally more straightforward (Hans de Goede). - fixes for the ACPI Embedded Controller (EC) driver related to the handling of EC transactions (Lv Zheng). - fix for a regression related to the ACPI resources management and resulting from a recent change of ACPI initialization code ordering (Rafael J Wysocki). - fix for a system initialization regression related to ACPI introduced during the 3.14 cycle and caused by running the code that switches the platform over to the ACPI mode too early in the initialization sequence (Rafael J Wysocki). - support for the ACPI _CCA device configuration object related to DMA cache coherence (Suravee Suthikulpanit). - ACPI/APEI fixes and cleanups (Jiri Kosina, Borislav Petkov). - ACPI battery driver cleanups (Luis Henriques, Mathias Krause). - ACPI processor driver cleanups (Hanjun Guo). - cleanups and documentation update related to the ACPI device properties interface based on _DSD (Rafael J Wysocki). - ACPI device power management fixes (Rafael J Wysocki). - assorted cleanups related to ACPI (Dominik Brodowski, Fabian Frederick, Lorenzo Pieralisi, Mathias Krause, Rafael J Wysocki). - fix for a long-standing issue causing General Protection Faults to be generated occasionally on return to user space after resume from ACPI-based suspend-to-RAM on 32-bit x86 (Ingo Molnar). - fix to make the suspend core code return -EBUSY consistently in all cases when system suspend is aborted due to wakeup detection (Ruchi Kandoi). - support for automated device wakeup IRQ handling allowing drivers to make their PM support more starightforward (Tony Lindgren). - new tracepoints for suspend-to-idle tracing and rework of the prepare/complete callbacks tracing in the PM core (Todd E Brandt, Rafael J Wysocki). - wakeup sources framework enhancements (Jin Qian). - new macro for noirq system PM callbacks (Grygorii Strashko). - assorted cleanups related to system suspend (Rafael J Wysocki). - cpuidle core cleanups to make the code more efficient (Rafael J Wysocki). - powernv/pseries cpuidle driver update (Shilpasri G Bhat). - cpufreq core fixes related to CPU online/offline that should reduce the overhead of these operations quite a bit, unless the CPU in question is physically going away (Viresh Kumar, Saravana Kannan). - serialization of cpufreq governor callbacks to avoid race conditions in some cases (Viresh Kumar). - intel_pstate driver fixes and cleanups (Doug Smythies, Prarit Bhargava, Joe Konno). - cpufreq driver (arm_big_little, cpufreq-dt, qoriq) updates (Sudeep Holla, Felipe Balbi, Tang Yuantian). - assorted cleanups in cpufreq drivers and core (Shailendra Verma, Fabian Frederick, Wang Long). - new Device Tree bindings for representing Operating Performance Points (Viresh Kumar). - updates for the common clock operations support code in the PM core (Rajendra Nayak, Geert Uytterhoeven). - PM domains core code update (Geert Uytterhoeven). - Intel Knights Landing support for the RAPL (Running Average Power Limit) power capping driver (Dasaratharaman Chandramouli). - fixes related to the floor frequency setting on Atom SoCs in the RAPL power capping driver (Ajay Thomas). - runtime PM framework documentation update (Ben Dooks). - cpupower tool fix (Herton R Krzesinski)" * tag 'pm+acpi-4.2-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm: (194 commits) cpuidle: powernv/pseries: Auto-promotion of snooze to deeper idle state x86: Load __USER_DS into DS/ES after resume PM / OPP: Add binding for 'opp-suspend' PM / OPP: Allow multiple OPP tables to be passed via DT PM / OPP: Add new bindings to address shortcomings of existing bindings ACPI: Constify ACPI device IDs in documentation ACPI / enumeration: Document the rules regarding the PRP0001 device ID ACPI / video: Make acpi_video_unregister_backlight() private acpi-video-detect: Remove old API toshiba-acpi: Port to new backlight interface selection API thinkpad-acpi: Port to new backlight interface selection API sony-laptop: Port to new backlight interface selection API samsung-laptop: Port to new backlight interface selection API msi-wmi: Port to new backlight interface selection API msi-laptop: Port to new backlight interface selection API intel-oaktrail: Port to new backlight interface selection API ideapad-laptop: Port to new backlight interface selection API fujitsu-laptop: Port to new backlight interface selection API eeepc-laptop: Port to new backlight interface selection API dell-wmi: Port to new backlight interface selection API ...
