2022-01-11Merge tag 'gpio-updates-for-v5.17' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/brgl/linuxLinus Torvalds1-0/+134
Pull gpio updates from Bartosz Golaszewski: "The gpio-sim module is back, this time without any changes to configfs. This results in a less elegant user-space interface but I never got any follow-up on the committable items and didn't want to delay this module for several more months. Other than that we have support for several new models and some support going away. We started working on converting GPIO drivers to using fwnode exclusively in order to limit references to OF symbols to gpiolib-of.c exclusively. We also have regular tweaks and improvements all over the place. Summary: - new testing module: gpio-sim that is scheduled to replace gpio-mockup - initial changes aiming at converting all GPIO drivers to using the fwnode interface and limiting any references to OF symbols to gpiolib-of.c - add support for Tegra234 and Tegra241 to gpio-tegra186 - add support for new models (SSD201 and SSD202D) to gpio-msc313 - add basic support for interrupts to gpio-aggregator - add support for AMDIF031 HID device to gpio-amdpt - drop support for unused platforms in gpio-xlp - cleanup leftovers from the removal of the legacy Samsung Exynos GPIO driver - use raw spinlocks in gpio-aspeed and gpio-aspeed-sgpio to make PREEMPT_RT happy - generalize the common 'ngpios' device property by reading it in the core gpiolib code so that we can remove duplicate reads from drivers - allow line names from device properties to override names set by drivers - code shrink in gpiod_add_lookup_table() - add new model to the DT bindings for gpio-vf610 - convert DT bindings for tegra devices to YAML - improvements to interrupt handling in gpio-rcar and gpio-rockchip - updates to intel drivers from Andy (details in the merge commit) - some minor tweaks, improvements and coding-style fixes all around the subsystem" * tag 'gpio-updates-for-v5.17' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/brgl/linux: (59 commits) gpio: rcar: Propagate errors from devm_request_irq() gpio: rcar: Use platform_get_irq() to get the interrupt gpio: ts5500: Use platform_get_irq() to get the interrupt gpio: dwapb: Switch to use fwnode instead of of_node gpiolib: acpi: make fwnode take precedence in struct gpio_chip dt-bindings: gpio: samsung: drop unused bindings gpio: max3191x: Use bitmap_free() to free bitmap gpio: regmap: Switch to use fwnode instead of of_node gpio: tegra186: Add support for Tegra241 dt-bindings: gpio: Add Tegra241 support gpio: brcmstb: Use local variable to access OF node gpio: Remove unused local OF node pointers gpio: sim: add missing fwnode_handle_put() in gpio_sim_probe() gpio: msc313: Add support for SSD201 and SSD202D gpio: msc313: Code clean ups dt-bindings: gpio: msc313: Add offsets for ssd20xd dt-bindings: gpio: msc313: Add compatible for ssd20xd gpio: sim: fix uninitialized ret variable gpio: Propagate firmware node from a parent device gpio: Setup parent device and get rid of unnecessary of_node assignment ...

2022-01-03Documentation: refer to config RANDOMIZE_BASE for kernel address-space randomizationLukas Bulwahn1-1/+1
The config RANDOMIZE_SLAB does not exist, the authors probably intended to refer to the config RANDOMIZE_BASE, which provides kernel address-space randomization. They probably just confused SLAB with BASE (these two four-letter words coincidentally share three common letters), as they also point out the config SLAB_FREELIST_RANDOM as further randomization within the same sentence. Fix the reference of the config for kernel address-space randomization to the config that provides that.

Writing '1' enables access. Note that x86 supports globally enabling user access by writing '2' to /sys/bus/event_source/devices/cpu/rdpmc. As there's not existing userspace support to worry about, this shouldn't be necessary for Arm. It could be added later if the need arises.

Allow the rcu_nocbs kernel parameter to be specified just by itself, without specifying any CPUs. This allows systems administrators to use "rcu_nocbs" to specify that none of the CPUs are to be offloaded at boot time, but than any of them may be offloaded at runtime via cpusets. In contrast, if the "rcu_nocbs" or "nohz_full" kernel parameters are not specified at all, then not only are none of the CPUs offloaded at boot, none of them can be offloaded at runtime, either. While in the area, modernize the description of the "rcuo" kthreads' naming scheme.

2021-12-09rcu-tasks: Use fewer callbacks queues if callback flood endsPaul E. McKenney1-0/+8
By default, when lock contention is encountered, the RCU Tasks flavors of RCU switch to using per-CPU queueing. However, if the callback flood ends, per-CPU queueing continues to be used, which introduces significant additional overhead, especially for callback invocation, which fans out a series of workqueue handlers. This commit therefore switches back to single-queue operation if at the beginning of a grace period there are very few callbacks. The definition of "very few" is set by the rcupdate.rcu_task_collapse_lim module parameter, which defaults to 10. This switch happens in two phases, with the first phase causing future callbacks to be enqueued on CPU 0's queue, but with all queues continuing to be checked for grace periods and callback invocation. The second phase checks to see if an RCU grace period has elapsed and if all remaining RCU-Tasks callbacks are queued on CPU 0. If so, only CPU 0 is checked for future grace periods and callback operation. Of course, the return of contention anywhere during this process will result in returning to per-CPU callback queueing.

2021-12-09rcu-tasks: Use more callback queues if contention encounteredPaul E. McKenney1-0/+8
The rcupdate.rcu_task_enqueue_lim module parameter allows system administrators to tune the number of callback queues used by the RCU Tasks flavors. However if callback storms are infrequent, it would be better to operate with a single queue on a given system unless and until that system actually needed more queues. Systems not needing more queues can then avoid the overhead of checking the extra queues and especially avoid the overhead of fanning workqueue handlers out to all CPUs to invoke callbacks. This commit therefore switches to using all the CPUs' callback queues if call_rcu_tasks_generic() encounters too much lock contention. The amount of lock contention to tolerate defaults to 100 contended lock acquisitions per jiffy, and can be adjusted using the new rcupdate.rcu_task_contend_lim module parameter. Such switching is undertaken only if the rcupdate.rcu_task_enqueue_lim module parameter is negative, which is its default value (-1). This allows savvy systems administrators to set the number of queues to some known good value and to not have to worry about the kernel doing any second guessing.

2021-12-08PM: hibernate: Allow ACPI hardware signature to be honouredDavid Woodhouse1-3/+12
Theoretically, when the hardware signature in FACS changes, the OS is supposed to gracefully decline to attempt to resume from S4: "If the signature has changed, OSPM will not restore the system context and can boot from scratch" In practice, Windows doesn't do this and many laptop vendors do allow the signature to change especially when docking/undocking, so it would be a bad idea to simply comply with the specification by default in the general case. However, there are use cases where we do want the compliant behaviour and we know it's safe. Specifically, when resuming virtual machines where we know the hypervisor has changed sufficiently that resume will fail. We really want to be able to *tell* the guest kernel not to try, so it boots cleanly and doesn't just crash. This patch provides a way to opt in to the spec-compliant behaviour on the command line. A follow-up patch may do this automatically for certain "known good" machines based on a DMI match, or perhaps just for all hypervisor guests since there's no good reason a hypervisor would change the hardware_signature that it exposes to guests *unless* it wants them to obey the ACPI specification.

All of the uses of CONFIG_RCU_FAST_NO_HZ=y that I have seen involve systems with RCU callbacks offloaded. In this situation, all that this Kconfig option does is slow down idle entry/exit with an additional allways-taken early exit. If this is the only use case, then this Kconfig option nothing but an attractive nuisance that needs to go away. This commit therefore removes the RCU_FAST_NO_HZ Kconfig option.

This document advises building with both CONFIG_NO_HZ=y and CONFIG_RCU_FAST_NO_HZ=y. However, CONFIG_NO_HZ=y offloads callbacks from all nohz_full CPUs, and CPUs with offloaded callbacks do not benefit from CONFIG_RCU_FAST_NO_HZ=y. Quite the opposite: CONFIG_RCU_FAST_NO_HZ=y simply adds a bit of idle entry/exit overhead. This commit therefore changes that advice to only CONFIG_NO_HZ=y. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

2021-11-28Input: i8042 - add deferred probe supportTakashi Iwai1-0/+2
We've got a bug report about the non-working keyboard on ASUS ZenBook UX425UA. It seems that the PS/2 device isn't ready immediately at boot but takes some seconds to get ready. Until now, the only workaround is to defer the probe, but it's available only when the driver is a module. However, many distros, including openSUSE as in the original report, build the PS/2 input drivers into kernel, hence it won't work easily. This patch adds the support for the deferred probe for i8042 stuff as a workaround of the problem above. When the deferred probe mode is enabled and the device couldn't be probed, it'll be repeated with the standard deferred probe mechanism. The deferred probe mode is enabled either via the new option i8042.probe_defer or via the quirk table entry. As of this patch, the quirk table contains only ASUS ZenBook UX425UA. The deferred probe part is based on Fabio's initial work.

A first version tried to expose those values directly to which I objected because: - PIDTYPE_* is an enum that is kernel internal which we should not expose to userspace directly. - PIDTYPE_* indicates what a given struct pid is used for it doesn't express a scope. But what the 4th argument of PR_SCHED_CORE prctl() expresses is the scope of the operation, i.e. the scope of the core scheduling domain at creation time. So Eugene's patch now simply introduces three new defines PR_SCHED_CORE_SCOPE_THREAD, PR_SCHED_CORE_SCOPE_THREAD_GROUP, and PR_SCHED_CORE_SCOPE_PROCESS_GROUP. They simply express what happens. This has been on the mailing list for quite a while with all relevant scheduler folks Cced. I announced multiple times that I'd pick this up if I don't see or her anyone else doing it. None of this touches proper scheduler code but only concerns uapi so I think this is fine. With core scheduling being quite common now for vm managers (e.g. moving individual vcpu threads into their own core scheduling domain) and container managers (e.g. moving the init process into its own core scheduling domain and letting all created children inherit it) having to rely on raw numbers passed as the 4th argument in prctl() is a bit annoying and everyone is starting to come up with their own defines" * tag 'kernel.sys.v5.16' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/brauner/linux: uapi/linux/prctl: provide macro definitions for the PR_SCHED_CORE type argument
