Pull x86 cache quality monitoring update from Thomas Gleixner:
"This update provides a complete rewrite of the Cache Quality
Monitoring (CQM) facility.
The existing CQM support was duct taped into perf with a lot of issues
and the attempts to fix those turned out to be incomplete and
horrible.
After lengthy discussions it was decided to integrate the CQM support
into the Resource Director Technology (RDT) facility, which is the
obvious choise as in hardware CQM is part of RDT. This allowed to add
Memory Bandwidth Monitoring support on top.
As a result the mechanisms for allocating cache/memory bandwidth and
the corresponding monitoring mechanisms are integrated into a single
management facility with a consistent user interface"

Pull x86 mm changes from Ingo Molnar:
"PCID support, 5-level paging support, Secure Memory Encryption support
The main changes in this cycle are support for three new, complex
hardware features of x86 CPUs:
- Add 5-level paging support, which is a new hardware feature on
upcoming Intel CPUs allowing up to 128 PB of virtual address space
and 4 PB of physical RAM space - a 512-fold increase over the old
limits. (Supercomputers of the future forecasting hurricanes on an
ever warming planet can certainly make good use of more RAM.)
Many of the necessary changes went upstream in previous cycles,
v4.14 is the first kernel that can enable 5-level paging.
This feature is activated via CONFIG_X86_5LEVEL=y - disabled by
default.
(By Kirill A. Shutemov)
- Add 'encrypted memory' support, which is a new hardware feature on
upcoming AMD CPUs ('Secure Memory Encryption', SME) allowing system
RAM to be encrypted and decrypted (mostly) transparently by the
CPU, with a little help from the kernel to transition to/from
encrypted RAM. Such RAM should be more secure against various
attacks like RAM access via the memory bus and should make the
radio signature of memory bus traffic harder to intercept (and
decrypt) as well.
This feature is activated via CONFIG_AMD_MEM_ENCRYPT=y - disabled
by default.
(By Tom Lendacky)
- Enable PCID optimized TLB flushing on newer Intel CPUs: PCID is a
hardware feature that attaches an address space tag to TLB entries
and thus allows to skip TLB flushing in many cases, even if we
switch mm's.
(By Andy Lutomirski)
All three of these features were in the works for a long time, and
it's coincidence of the three independent development paths that they
are all enabled in v4.14 at once"

Compared to the old xrx200_phy_fw driver the new version has multiple
enhancements. The name of the firmware files does not have to be added
to all .dts files anymore - one now configures the GPHY mode (FE or GE)
instead. Each GPHY can now also boot separate firmware (thus mixing of
GE and FE GPHYs is now possible).
The new implementation is based on the RCU syscon-mfd and uses the
reeset_controller framework instead of raw RCU register reads/writes.

Do not export the ltq_reset_cause() and ltq_boot_select() function any
more. ltq_reset_cause() was accessed by the watchdog driver before to
see why the last reset happened, this is now done through direct access
of the register over regmap. The bits in this register are anyway
different between the xrx200 and the falcon SoC.
ltq_boot_select() is not used any more and was used by the flash
drivers to check if the system was booted from this flash type, now the
drivers should depend on the device tree only.

Instead of hacking the configuration of the FPI bus into the arch code
add an own bus driver for this internal bus. The FPI bus is the main
bus of the SoC. This bus driver makes sure the bus is configured
correctly before the child drivers are getting initialized. This driver
will probably also be used on different SoCs later.

The alpha/marvel code currently implements an irq_chip for handling
interrupts; due to how irq_chip handling is done, it's necessary for the
irq_chip methods to be invoked from hardirq context, even on a a
real-time kernel. Because the spinlock_t type becomes a "sleeping"
spinlock w/ RT kernels, it is not suitable to be used with irq_chips.
A quick audit of the operations under the lock reveal that they do only
minimal, bounded work, and are therefore safe to do under a raw spinlock.

Pull x86 asm updates from Ingo Molnar:
- Introduce the ORC unwinder, which can be enabled via
CONFIG_ORC_UNWINDER=y.
The ORC unwinder is a lightweight, Linux kernel specific debuginfo
implementation, which aims to be DWARF done right for unwinding.
Objtool is used to generate the ORC unwinder tables during build, so
the data format is flexible and kernel internal: there's no
dependency on debuginfo created by an external toolchain.
The ORC unwinder is almost two orders of magnitude faster than the
(out of tree) DWARF unwinder - which is important for perf call graph
profiling. It is also significantly simpler and is coded defensively:
there has not been a single ORC related kernel crash so far, even
with early versions. (knock on wood!)
But the main advantage is that enabling the ORC unwinder allows
CONFIG_FRAME_POINTERS to be turned off - which speeds up the kernel
measurably:
With frame pointers disabled, GCC does not have to add frame pointer
instrumentation code to every function in the kernel. The kernel's
.text size decreases by about 3.2%, resulting in better cache
utilization and fewer instructions executed, resulting in a broad
kernel-wide speedup. Average speedup of system calls should be
roughly in the 1-3% range - measurements by Mel Gorman [1] have shown
a speedup of 5-10% for some function execution intense workloads.
The main cost of the unwinder is that the unwinder data has to be
stored in RAM: the memory cost is 2-4MB of RAM, depending on kernel
config - which is a modest cost on modern x86 systems.
Given how young the ORC unwinder code is it's not enabled by default
- but given the performance advantages the plan is to eventually make
it the default unwinder on x86.
See Documentation/x86/orc-unwinder.txt for more details.
- Remove lguest support: its intended role was that of a temporary
proof of concept for virtualization, plus its removal will enable the
reduction (removal) of the paravirt API as well, so Rusty agreed to
its removal. (Juergen Gross)

Pull perf updates from Ingo Molnar:
"Kernel side changes:
- Add branch type profiling/tracing support. (Jin Yao)
- Add the PERF_SAMPLE_PHYS_ADDR ABI to allow the tracing/profiling of
physical memory addresses, where the PMU supports it. (Kan Liang)
- Export some PMU capability details in the new
/sys/bus/event_source/devices/cpu/caps/ sysfs directory. (Andi
Kleen)
- Aux data fixes and updates (Will Deacon)
- kprobes fixes and updates (Masami Hiramatsu)
- AMD uncore PMU driver fixes and updates (Janakarajan Natarajan)
On the tooling side, here's a (limited!) list of highlights - there
were many other changes that I could not list, see the shortlog and
git history for details:
UI improvements:
- Implement a visual marker for fused x86 instructions in the
annotate TUI browser, available now in 'perf report', more work
needed to have it available as well in 'perf top' (Jin Yao)
Further explanation from one of Jin's patches:
│ ┌──cmpl $0x0,argp_program_version_hook
81.93 │ ├──je 20
│ │ lock cmpxchg %esi,0x38a9a4(%rip)
│ │↓ jne 29
│ │↓ jmp 43
11.47 │20:└─→cmpxch %esi,0x38a999(%rip)
That means the cmpl+je is a fused instruction pair and they should
be considered together.
- Record the branch type and then show statistics and info about in
callchain entries (Jin Yao)
Example from one of Jin's patches:
# perf record -g -j any,save_type
# perf report --branch-history --stdio --no-children

__random random.c:295 (RET CROSS_2M cycles:9)
namespaces support:
- Add initial support for namespaces, using setns to access files in
namespaces, grabbing their build-ids, etc. (Krister Johansen)
perf trace enhancements:
- Beautify pkey_{alloc,free,mprotect} arguments in 'perf trace'
(Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
- Add initial 'clone' syscall args beautifier in 'perf trace'
(Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
- Ignore 'fd' and 'offset' args for MAP_ANONYMOUS in 'perf trace'
(Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
- Beautifiers for the 'cmd' arg of several ioctl types, including:
sound, DRM, KVM, vhost virtio and perf_events. (Arnaldo Carvalho de
Melo)
- Add PERF_SAMPLE_CALLCHAIN and PERF_RECORD_MMAP[2] to 'perf data'
CTF conversion, allowing CTF trace visualization tools to show
callchains and to resolve symbols (Geneviève Bastien)
- Beautify the fcntl syscall, which is an interesting one in the
sense that infrastructure had to be put in place to change the
formatters of some arguments according to the value in a previous
one, i.e. cmd dictates how arg and the syscall return will be
formatted. (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo
perf stat enhancements:
- Use group read for event groups in 'perf stat', reducing overhead
when groups are defined in the event specification, i.e. when using
{} to enclose a list of events, asking them to be read at the same
time, e.g.: "perf stat -e '{cycles,instructions}'" (Jiri Olsa)
pipe mode improvements:
- Process tracing data in 'perf annotate' pipe mode (David
Carrillo-Cisneros)
- Add header record types to pipe-mode, now this command:
$ perf record -o - -e cycles sleep 1 | perf report --stdio --header
Will show the same as in non-pipe mode, i.e. involving a perf.data
file (David Carrillo-Cisneros)
Vendor specific hardware event support updates/enhancements:
- Update POWER9 vendor events tables (Sukadev Bhattiprolu)
- Add POWER9 PMU events Sukadev (Bhattiprolu)
- Support additional POWER8+ PVR in PMU mapfile (Shriya)
- Add Skylake server uncore JSON vendor events (Andi Kleen)
- Support exporting Intel PT data to sqlite3 with python perf
scripts, this is in addition to the postgresql support that was
already there (Adrian Hunter)"

Our VDSO code makes use of macros from linux/irqchip/mips-gic.h to
provide offsets to register values, but these are trivial offsets to the
two 32 bit halves of a 64 bit value. Replace use of the macros with zero
(ie. omit adding an offset) and the size of the low 32 bit of the value.
This removes our need for linux/irqchip/mips-gic.h & prepares us for it
to be removed.

In preparation for removing the gic_present global variable, switch to
using the mips_gic_present() function instead. For the most part this is
a straightforward substitution. In cases which previously wrapped the
GIC case in an #ifdef CONFIG_MIPS_GIC that #ifdef has been removed,
since mips_gic_present() will return a compile-time constant false
allowing the affected code to be optimised out anyway.

We don't really need gic_get_usm_range() to abstract discovery of the
address of the GIC user-visible section now that we have access to its
base address globally.
Switch to calculating it ourselves, which will allow us to stop
requiring the irqchip driver to care about a counter exposed to userland
for use via the VDSO.

the new accessor functions. Whilst at it, convert to an enum which lends
itself more easily to expansion & documentation.
