A new chardev that is to be used for userspace GPIO access is
added in this patch. It is intended to gradually replace the
horribly broken sysfs ABI.
Using a chardev has many upsides:
- All operations are per-gpiochip, which is the actual
device underlying the GPIOs, making us tie in to the
kernel device model properly.
- Hotpluggable GPIO controllers can come and go, as this
kind of problem has been know to userspace for character
devices since ages, and if a gpiochip handle is held in
userspace we know we will break something, whereas the
sysfs is stateless.
- The one-value-per-file rule of sysfs is really hard to
maintain when you want to twist more than one knob at a time,
for example have in-kernel APIs to switch several GPIO
lines at the same time, and this will be possible to do
with a single ioctl() from userspace, saving a lot of
context switching.
We also need to add a new bus type for GPIO. This is
necessary for example for userspace coldplug, where sysfs is
traversed to find the boot-time device nodes and create the
character devices in /dev.
This new chardev ABI is *non* *optional* and can be counted
on to be present in the future, emphasizing the preference
of this ABI.
The ABI only implements one single ioctl() to get the name
and number of GPIO lines of a chip. Even this is debatable:
see it as a minimal example for review. This ABI shall be
ruthlessly reviewed and etched in stone.
The old /sys/class/gpio is still optional to compile in,
but will be deprecated.
Unique device IDs are created using IDR, which is overkill
and insanely scalable, but also well tested.

Currently DRM_IOCTL_PRIME_HANDLE_TO_FD rejects all flags except
(DRM|O)_CLOEXEC making it difficult (maybe impossible) for userspace
to mmap() the resulting dma-buf even when this is supported by the
DRM driver.
It is trivial to relax the restriction and permit read/write access.
This is safe because the flags are seldom touched by drm; mostly they
are passed verbatim to dma_buf calls.
v3 (Tiago): removed unused flags variable from drm_prime_handle_to_fd_ioctl.

Q_GETNEXTQUOTA is exactly like Q_GETQUOTA, except that it
will return quota information for the id equal to or greater
than the id requested. In other words, if the requested id has
no quota, the command will return quota information for the
next higher id which does have a quota set. If no higher id
has an active quota, -ESRCH is returned.
This allows filesystems to do efficient iteration in kernelspace,
much like extN filesystems do in userspace when asked to report
all active quotas.
This does require a new data structure for userspace, as the
current structure does not include an ID for the returned quota
information.
Today, Ext4 with a hidden quota inode requires getpwent-style
iterations, and for systems which have i.e. LDAP backends,
this can be very slow, or even impossible if iteration is not
allowed in the configuration.

Primary use case is a histogram array of latency
where bpf program computes the latency of block requests or other
events and stores histogram of latency into array of 64 elements.
All cpus are constantly running, so normal increment is not accurate,
bpf_xadd causes cache ping-pong and this per-cpu approach allows
fastest collision-free counters.

Introduce BPF_MAP_TYPE_PERCPU_HASH map type which is used to do
accurate counters without need to use BPF_XADD instruction which turned
out to be too costly for high-performance network monitoring.
In the typical use case the 'key' is the flow tuple or other long
living object that sees a lot of events per second.
bpf_map_lookup_elem() returns per-cpu area.
Example:
struct {
u32 packets;
u32 bytes;
} * ptr = bpf_map_lookup_elem(&map, &key);
/* ptr points to this_cpu area of the value, so the following
* increments will not collide with other cpus
*/
ptr->packets ++;
ptr->bytes += skb->len;
bpf_update_elem() atomically creates a new element where all per-cpu
values are zero initialized and this_cpu value is populated with
given 'value'.
Note that non-per-cpu hash map always allocates new element
and then deletes old after rcu grace period to maintain atomicity
of update. Per-cpu hash map updates element values in-place.

Very old hardware may have an analog stage tuner. Those hardware
consists of a PLL that converts a RF signal into IF signals.
Depending on the hardware, those video IF signal can be
decoded directly by the bridge chipset. Most Conexant
chips (bt8x8, cx2388x, etc) have internally the decoders
for that. Yet, even on such hardware, the tuner may have
internally its own TV multi-standard decoder like tda9887.
The same happens with the audio IF signal, where some bridges
are capable of receiving it, while others require an external
IF-PLL sound decoder, like msp3400.
Those external IF-PLL audio and video decoders have their own
I2C address, and use different drivers to handle them. So, they're
mapped as different subdevices on Linux.
Thankfully, all modern hardware comes with an IC chip that
has both the RF and the IF stages on it, being capable of
decoding audio and video IF signals internally.
Yet, as we need to support drivers that can work with either
analog or silicon tuners, we need to add two entity types
for those old hardware.

Nothing prevents a new auditd starting up and replacing a valid
audit_pid when an old auditd is still running, effectively starving out
the old auditd since audit_pid no longer points to the old valid
auditd.
If no message to auditd has been attempted since auditd died
unnaturally or got killed, audit_pid will still indicate it is alive.
There isn't an easy way to detect if an old auditd is still running on
the existing audit_pid other than attempting to send a message to see
if it fails. An -ECONNREFUSED almost certainly means it disappeared
and can be replaced. Other errors are not so straightforward and may
indicate transient problems that will resolve themselves and the old
auditd will recover. Yet others will likely need manual intervention
for which a new auditd will not solve the problem.
Send a new message type (AUDIT_REPLACE) to the old auditd containing a
u32 with the PID of the new auditd. If the audit replace message
succeeds (or doesn't fail with certainty), fail to register the new
auditd and return an error (-EEXIST).
This is expected to make the patch preventing an old auditd orphaning a
new auditd redundant.
V3: Switch audit message type from 1000 to 1300 block.

Tvrtko was looking through the execbuffer-ioctl and noticed that the
uABI was tightly coupled to our internal engine identifiers. Close
inspection also revealed that we leak those internal engine identifiers
through the busy-ioctl, and those internal identifiers already do not
match the user identifiers. Fortuitiously, there is only one user of the
set of busy rings from the busy-ioctl, and they only wish to choose
between the RENDER and the BLT engines.
Let's fix the userspace ABI while we still can.
v2: Update the uAPI documentation to explain the identifiers.

Currently, epoll file descriptors or epfds (the fd returned from
epoll_create[1]()) that are added to a shared wakeup source are always
added in a non-exclusive manner. This means that when we have multiple
epfds attached to a shared fd source they are all woken up. This creates
thundering herd type behavior.
Introduce a new 'EPOLLEXCLUSIVE' flag that can be passed as part of the
'event' argument during an epoll_ctl() EPOLL_CTL_ADD operation. This new
flag allows for exclusive wakeups when there are multiple epfds attached
to a shared fd event source.
The implementation walks the list of exclusive waiters, and queues an
event to each epfd, until it finds the first waiter that has threads
blocked on it via epoll_wait(). The idea is to search for threads which
are idle and ready to process the wakeup events. Thus, we queue an event
to at least 1 epfd, but may still potentially queue an event to all epfds
that are attached to the shared fd source.
Performance testing was done by Madars Vitolins using a modified version
of Enduro/X. The use of the 'EPOLLEXCLUSIVE' flag reduce the length of
this particular workload from 860s down to 24s.
Sample epoll_clt text:
EPOLLEXCLUSIVE
Sets an exclusive wakeup mode for the epfd file descriptor that is
being attached to the target file descriptor, fd. Thus, when an event
occurs and multiple epfd file descriptors are attached to the same
target file using EPOLLEXCLUSIVE, one or more epfds will receive an
event with epoll_wait(2). The default in this scenario (when
EPOLLEXCLUSIVE is not set) is for all epfds to receive an event.
EPOLLEXCLUSIVE may only be specified with the op EPOLL_CTL_ADD.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tiwai/sound
Pull sound updates from Takashi Iwai:
"We've had quite busy weeks in this cycle. Looking at ALSA core, the
significant changes are a few fixes wrt timer and sequencer ioctls
that have been revealed by fuzzer recently. Other than that, ASoC
core got a few updates about DAI link handling, but these are rather
straightforward refactoring.
In drivers scene, ASoC received quite lots of new drivers in addition
to bunch of updates for still ongoing Intel Skylake support and
topology API. HD-audio gained a new HDMI/DP hotplug notification via
component. FireWire got a pile of code refactoring/updates with
SCS.1x driver integration.
More highlights are shown below.
[ NOTE: this contains also many commits for DRM. This is due to the
pull of drm stable branch into sound tree, as the base of i915 audio
component work for HD-audio. The highlights below don't contain
these DRM changes, as these are supposed to be pulled via drm tree
in anyway sooner or later. ]
Core:
- Handful fixes to harden ALSA timer and sequencer ioctls against
races reported by syzkaller fuzzer
- Irq description string can be unique to each card; only for
HD-audio for now
ASoC:
- Conversion of the array of DAI links to a list for supporting
dynamically adding and removing DAI links
- Topology API enhancements to make everything more component based
and being able to specify PCM links via topology
- Some more fixes for the topology code, though it is still not final
and ready for enabling in production; we really need to get to the
point where that can be done
- A pile of changes for Intel SkyLake drivers which hopefully deliver
some useful initial functionality for systems with this chipset,
though there is more work still to come
- Lots of new features and cleanups for the Renesas drivers
- ANC support for WM5110
- New drivers: Imagination Technologies IPs, Atmel class D speaker,
Cirrus CS47L24 and WM1831, Dialog DA7128, Realtek RT5659 and
RT56156, Rockchip RK3036, TI PC3168A, and AMD ACP
- Rename PCM1792a driver to be generic pcm179x
HD-Audio:
- Use audio component for i915 HDMI/DP hotplug handling
- On-demand binding with i915 driver
- bdl_pos_adj parameter adjustment for Baytrail controllers
- Enable power_save_node for CX20722; this shouldn't lead to
regression, hopefully
- Kabylake HDMI/DP codec support
- Quirks for Lenovo E50-80, Dell Latitude E-series, and other Dell
machines
- A few code refactoring
FireWire:
- Lots of code cleanup and refactoring
- Integrate the support of SCS.1x devices into snd-oxfw driver;
snd-scs1x driver is obsoleted
USB-audio:
- Fix possible NULL dereference at disconnection
- A regression fix for Native Instruments devices
Misc:
- A few code cleanups of fm801 driver"

Linux doesn't have an ability to free pages lazy while other OS already
have been supported that named by madvise(MADV_FREE).
The gain is clear that kernel can discard freed pages rather than
swapping out or OOM if memory pressure happens.
Without memory pressure, freed pages would be reused by userspace
without another additional overhead(ex, page fault + allocation +
zeroing).
Jason Evans said:
: Facebook has been using MAP_UNINITIALIZED
: (https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/1/18/308) in some of its applications for
: several years, but there are operational costs to maintaining this
: out-of-tree in our kernel and in jemalloc, and we are anxious to retire it
: in favor of MADV_FREE. When we first enabled MAP_UNINITIALIZED it
: increased throughput for much of our workload by ~5%, and although the
: benefit has decreased using newer hardware and kernels, there is still
: enough benefit that we cannot reasonably retire it without a replacement.
:
: Aside from Facebook operations, there are numerous broadly used
: applications that would benefit from MADV_FREE. The ones that immediately
: come to mind are redis, varnish, and MariaDB. I don't have much insight
: into Android internals and development process, but I would hope to see
: MADV_FREE support eventually end up there as well to benefit applications
: linked with the integrated jemalloc.
:
: jemalloc will use MADV_FREE once it becomes available in the Linux kernel.
: In fact, jemalloc already uses MADV_FREE or equivalent everywhere it's
: available: *BSD, OS X, Windows, and Solaris -- every platform except Linux
: (and AIX, but I'm not sure it even compiles on AIX). The lack of
: MADV_FREE on Linux forced me down a long series of increasingly
: sophisticated heuristics for madvise() volume reduction, and even so this
: remains a common performance issue for people using jemalloc on Linux.
: Please integrate MADV_FREE; many people will benefit substantially.
How it works:
When madvise syscall is called, VM clears dirty bit of ptes of the
range. If memory pressure happens, VM checks dirty bit of page table
and if it found still "clean", it means it's a "lazyfree pages" so VM
could discard the page instead of swapping out. Once there was store
operation for the page before VM peek a page to reclaim, dirty bit is
set so VM can swap out the page instead of discarding.
One thing we should notice is that basically, MADV_FREE relies on dirty
bit in page table entry to decide whether VM allows to discard the page
or not. IOW, if page table entry includes marked dirty bit, VM
shouldn't discard the page.
However, as a example, if swap-in by read fault happens, page table
entry doesn't have dirty bit so MADV_FREE could discard the page
wrongly.
For avoiding the problem, MADV_FREE did more checks with PageDirty and
PageSwapCache. It worked out because swapped-in page lives on swap
cache and since it is evicted from the swap cache, the page has PG_dirty
flag. So both page flags check effectively prevent wrong discarding by
MADV_FREE.
However, a problem in above logic is that swapped-in page has PG_dirty
still after they are removed from swap cache so VM cannot consider the
page as freeable any more even if madvise_free is called in future.
Look at below example for detail.
ptr = malloc();
memset(ptr);
..
..
.. heavy memory pressure so all of pages are swapped out
..
..
var = *ptr; -> a page swapped-in and could be removed from
swapcache. Then, page table doesn't mark
dirty bit and page descriptor includes PG_dirty
..
..
madvise_free(ptr); -> It doesn't clear PG_dirty of the page.
..
..
..
.. heavy memory pressure again.
.. In this time, VM cannot discard the page because the page
.. has *PG_dirty*
To solve the problem, this patch clears PG_dirty if only the page is
owned exclusively by current process when madvise is called because
PG_dirty represents ptes's dirtiness in several processes so we could
clear it only if we own it exclusively.
Firstly, heavy users would be general allocators(ex, jemalloc, tcmalloc
and hope glibc supports it) and jemalloc/tcmalloc already have supported
the feature for other OS(ex, FreeBSD)

Pull first round of SCSI updates from James Bottomley:
"This includes driver updates from the usual suspects (bfa, arcmsr,
scsi_dh_alua, lpfc, storvsc, cxlflash).
The major change is the addition of the hisi_sas driver, which is an
ARM platform device for SAS. The other change of note is an enormous
style transformation to the atp870u driver (which is our worst written
SCSI driver)"

Pull libnvdimm updates from Dan Williams:
"The bulk of this has appeared in -next and independently received a
build success notification from the kbuild robot. The 'for-4.5/block-
dax' topic branch was rebased over the weekend to drop the "block
device end-of-life" rework that Al would like to see re-implemented
with a notifier, and to address bug reports against the badblocks
integration.
There is pending feedback against "libnvdimm: Add a poison list and
export badblocks" received last week. Linda identified some localized
fixups that we will handle incrementally.
Summary:
- Media error handling: The 'badblocks' implementation that
originated in md-raid is up-levelled to a generic capability of a
block device. This initial implementation is limited to being
consulted in the pmem block-i/o path. Later, 'badblocks' will be
consulted when creating dax mappings.
- Raw block device dax: For virtualization and other cases that want
large contiguous mappings of persistent memory, add the capability
to dax-mmap a block device directly.
- Increased /dev/mem restrictions: Add an option to treat all
io-memory as IORESOURCE_EXCLUSIVE, i.e. disable /dev/mem access
while a driver is actively using an address range. This behavior
is controlled via the new CONFIG_IO_STRICT_DEVMEM option and can be
overridden by the existing "iomem=relaxed" kernel command line
option.
- Miscellaneous fixes include a 'pfn'-device huge page alignment fix,
block device shutdown crash fix, and other small libnvdimm fixes"

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mchehab/linux-media
Pull second batch of media updates from Mauro Carvalho Chehab:
"This is the second part of the media patches. It contains the media
controller next generation patches, with is the result of one year of
discussions and development. It also contains patches to enable media
controller support at the DVB subsystem.
The goal is to improve the media controller to allow proper support
for other types of Video4Linux devices (radio and TV ones) and to
extend the media controller functionality to allow it to be used by
other subsystems like DVB, ALSA and IIO.
In order to use the new functionality, a new ioctl is needed
(MEDIA_IOC_G_TOPOLOGY). As we're still discussing how to pack the
struct fields of this ioctl in order to avoid compat32 issues, I
decided to add a patch at the end of this series commenting out the
new ioctl, in order to postpone the addition of the new ioctl to the
next Kernel version (4.6).
With that, no userspace visible changes should happen at the media
controller API, as the existing ioctls are untouched. Yet, it helps
DVB, ALSA and IIO developers to develop and test the patches adding
media controller support there, as the core will contain all required
internal changes to allow adding support for devices that belong to
those subsystems"

Commit 9d99a8dda154 ("nvme: move hardware structures out of the uapi
version of nvme.h") renamed nvme.h to nvme_ioctl.h, but the uapi list
still refers to nvme.h. People trying to install the headers hit a
failure as the header no longer exists.
