As Linus points out:
The inode_cmp_iversion{+raw}() functions are pure and utter crap.
Why?
You say that they return 0/negative/positive, but they do so in a
completely broken manner. They return that ternary value as the
sequence number difference in a 's64', which means that if you
actually care about that ternary value, and do the *sane* thing that
the kernel-doc of the function implies is the right thing, you would
do
int cmp = inode_cmp_iversion(inode, old);
if (cmp < 0 ...
and as a result you get code that looks sane, but that doesn't
actually *WORK* right.
Since none of the callers actually care about the ternary value here,
convert the inode_cmp_iversion{+raw} functions to just return a boolean
value (false for matching, true for non-matching).
This matches the existing use of these functions just fine, and makes it
simple to convert them to return a ternary value in the future if we
grow callers that need it.
With this change we can also reimplement inode_cmp_iversion in a simpler
way using inode_peek_iversion.

This patchs moves generic source code from
drivers/pci/host/pci-host-common.c into drivers/pci/probe.c.
Indeed the extracted lines of code were duplicated by many host
controller drivers. Regrouping them into a generic function gives a
change to properly share this code without introducing a useless
dependency to PCI_HOST_COMMON, which selects PCI_ECAM when not needed by
most host controller drivers.

This status is returned from driver to block layer if device related
resource is unavailable, but driver can guarantee that IO dispatch
will be triggered in future when the resource is available.
Convert some drivers to return BLK_STS_DEV_RESOURCE. Also, if driver
returns BLK_STS_RESOURCE and SCHED_RESTART is set, rerun queue after
a delay (BLK_MQ_DELAY_QUEUE) to avoid IO stalls. BLK_MQ_DELAY_QUEUE is
3 ms because both scsi-mq and nvmefc are using that magic value.
If a driver can make sure there is in-flight IO, it is safe to return
BLK_STS_DEV_RESOURCE because:
1) If all in-flight IOs complete before examining SCHED_RESTART in
blk_mq_dispatch_rq_list(), SCHED_RESTART must be cleared, so queue
is run immediately in this case by blk_mq_dispatch_rq_list();
2) if there is any in-flight IO after/when examining SCHED_RESTART
in blk_mq_dispatch_rq_list():
- if SCHED_RESTART isn't set, queue is run immediately as handled in 1)
- otherwise, this request will be dispatched after any in-flight IO is
completed via blk_mq_sched_restart()
3) if SCHED_RESTART is set concurently in context because of
BLK_STS_RESOURCE, blk_mq_delay_run_hw_queue() will cover the above two
cases and make sure IO hang can be avoided.
One invariant is that queue will be rerun if SCHED_RESTART is set.

Pull poll annotations from Al Viro:
"This introduces a __bitwise type for POLL### bitmap, and propagates
the annotations through the tree. Most of that stuff is as simple as
'make ->poll() instances return __poll_t and do the same to local
variables used to hold the future return value'.
Some of the obvious brainos found in process are fixed (e.g. POLLIN
misspelled as POLL_IN). At that point the amount of sparse warnings is
low and most of them are for genuine bugs - e.g. ->poll() instance
deciding to return -EINVAL instead of a bitmap. I hadn't touched those
in this series - it's large enough as it is.
Another problem it has caught was eventpoll() ABI mess; select.c and
eventpoll.c assumed that corresponding POLL### and EPOLL### were
equal. That's true for some, but not all of them - EPOLL### are
arch-independent, but POLL### are not.
The last commit in this series separates userland POLL### values from
the (now arch-independent) kernel-side ones, converting between them
in the few places where they are copied to/from userland. AFAICS, this
is the least disruptive fix preserving poll(2) ABI and making epoll()
work on all architectures.
As it is, it's simply broken on sparc - try to give it EPOLLWRNORM and
it will trigger only on what would've triggered EPOLLWRBAND on other
architectures. EPOLLWRBAND and EPOLLRDHUP, OTOH, are never triggered
at all on sparc. With this patch they should work consistently on all
architectures"

Pull siginfo cleanups from Eric Biederman:
"Long ago when 2.4 was just a testing release copy_siginfo_to_user was
made to copy individual fields to userspace, possibly for efficiency
and to ensure initialized values were not copied to userspace.
Unfortunately the design was complex, it's assumptions unstated, and
humans are fallible and so while it worked much of the time that
design failed to ensure unitialized memory is not copied to userspace.
This set of changes is part of a new design to clean up siginfo and
simplify things, and hopefully make the siginfo handling robust enough
that a simple inspection of the code can be made to ensure we don't
copy any unitializied fields to userspace.
The design is to unify struct siginfo and struct compat_siginfo into a
single definition that is shared between all architectures so that
anyone adding to the set of information shared with struct siginfo can
see the whole picture. Hopefully ensuring all future si_code
assignments are arch independent.
The design is to unify copy_siginfo_to_user32 and
copy_siginfo_from_user32 so that those function are complete and cope
with all of the different cases documented in signinfo_layout. I don't
think there was a single implementation of either of those functions
that was complete and correct before my changes unified them.
The design is to introduce a series of helpers including
force_siginfo_fault that take the values that are needed in struct
siginfo and build the siginfo structure for their callers. Ensuring
struct siginfo is built correctly.
The remaining work for 4.17 (unless someone thinks it is post -rc1
material) is to push usage of those helpers down into the
architectures so that architecture specific code will not need to deal
with the fiddly work of intializing struct siginfo, and then when
struct siginfo is guaranteed to be fully initialized change copy
siginfo_to_user into a simple wrapper around copy_to_user.
Further there is work in progress on the issues that have been
documented requires arch specific knowledge to sort out.
The changes below fix or at least document all of the issues that have
been found with siginfo generation. Then proceed to unify struct
siginfo the 32 bit helpers that copy siginfo to and from userspace,
and generally clean up anything that is not arch specific with regards
to siginfo generation.
It is a lot but with the unification you can of siginfo you can
already see the code reduction in the kernel"

array_index_nospec() is proposed as a generic mechanism to mitigate
against Spectre-variant-1 attacks, i.e. an attack that bypasses boundary
checks via speculative execution. The array_index_nospec()
implementation is expected to be safe for current generation CPUs across
multiple architectures (ARM, x86).
Based on an original implementation by Linus Torvalds, tweaked to remove
speculative flows by Alexei Starovoitov, and tweaked again by Linus to
introduce an x86 assembly implementation for the mask generation.

Pull perf updates from Ingo Molnar:
"Kernel side changes:
- Clean up the x86 instruction decoder (Masami Hiramatsu)
- Add new uprobes optimization for PUSH instructions on x86 (Yonghong
Song)
- Add MSR_IA32_THERM_STATUS to the MSR events (Stephane Eranian)
- Fix misc bugs, update documentation, plus various cleanups (Jiri
Olsa)
There's a large number of tooling side improvements:
- Intel-PT/BTS improvements (Adrian Hunter)
- Numerous 'perf trace' improvements (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
- Introduce an errno code to string facility (Hendrik Brueckner)
- Various build system improvements (Jiri Olsa)
- Add support for CoreSight trace decoding by making the perf tools
use the external openCSD (Mathieu Poirier, Tor Jeremiassen)
- Add ARM Statistical Profiling Extensions (SPE) support (Kim
Phillips)
- libtraceevent updates (Steven Rostedt)
- Intel vendor event JSON updates (Andi Kleen)
- Introduce 'perf report --mmaps' and 'perf report --tasks' to show
info present in 'perf.data' (Jiri Olsa, Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
- Add infrastructure to record first and last sample time to the
perf.data file header, so that when processing all samples in a
'perf record' session, such as when doing build-id processing, or
when specifically requesting that that info be recorded, use that
in 'perf report --time', that also got support for percent slices
in addition to absolute ones.
I.e. now it is possible to ask for the samples in the 10%-20% time
slice of a perf.data file (Jin Yao)
- Allow system wide 'perf stat --per-thread', sorting the result (Jin
Yao)

The RDMA subsystem has very strict set of objects to work with, but it
completely lacks tracking facilities and has no visibility of resource
utilization.
The following patch adds such infrastructure to keep track of RDMA
resources to help with debugging of user space applications. The primary
user of this infrastructure is RDMA nldev netlink (following patches), to
be exposed to userspace via rdmatool, but it is not limited too that.
At this stage, the main three objects (PD, CQ and QP) are added, and more
will be added later.

"The timer departement presents:
- A rather large rework of the hrtimer infrastructure which
introduces softirq based hrtimers to replace the spread of

initial implementation which you cursed at 10 years ago rightfully.
The softirq based timers have their own queues and there is no
nasty indirection and list reshuffling in the hard interrupt
anymore. This comes with conversion of some of the hrtimer/tasklet
users, the rest and the final removal of that horrible interface
will come towards the end of the merge window or go through the
relevant maintainer trees.

Pull inode->i_version rework from Jeff Layton:
"This pile of patches is a rework of the inode->i_version field. We
have traditionally incremented that field on every inode data or
metadata change. Typically this increment needs to be logged on disk
even when nothing else has changed, which is rather expensive.
It turns out though that none of the consumers of that field actually
require this behavior. The only real requirement for all of them is
that it be different iff the inode has changed since the last time the
field was checked.
Given that, we can optimize away most of the i_version increments and
avoid dirtying inode metadata when the only change is to the i_version
and no one is querying it. Queries of the i_version field are rather
rare, so we can help write performance under many common workloads.
This patch series converts existing accesses of the i_version field to
a new API, and then converts all of the in-kernel filesystems to use
it. The last patch in the series then converts the backend
implementation to a scheme that optimizes away a large portion of the
metadata updates when no one is looking at it.
In my own testing this series significantly helps performance with
small I/O sizes. I also got this email for Christmas this year from
the kernel test robot (a 244% r/w bandwidth improvement with XFS over
DAX, with 4k writes):
https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/12/25/8
