Tell users that reporting bugs with vendor kernels which are only
slightly patched can be okay in some situations, but point out there's a
risk in doing so.
Adjust some related sections to make them compatible and a bit clearer.
At the same time make them less daunting: we want users to report bugs,
even if they can't test vanilla mainline kernel.

netdev_wait_allrefs() issues a warning if refcount does not drop to 0
after 10 seconds. While 10 second wait generally should not happen
under normal workload in normal environment, it seems to fire falsely
very often during fuzzing and/or in qemu emulation (~10x slower).
At least it's not possible to understand if it's really a false
positive or not. Automated testing generally bumps all timeouts
to very high values to avoid flake failures.
Add net.core.netdev_unregister_timeout_secs sysctl to make
the timeout configurable for automated testing systems.
Lowering the timeout may also be useful for e.g. manual bisection.
The default value matches the current behavior.

In converting intel-iommu over to the common IOMMU DMA ops, it quietly
lost the functionality of its "forcedac" option. Since this is a handy
thing both for testing and for performance optimisation on certain
platforms, reimplement it under the common IOMMU parameter namespace.
For the sake of fixing the inadvertent breakage of the Intel-specific
parameter, remove the dmar_forcedac remnants and hook it up as an alias
while documenting the transition to the new common parameter.

The single-argument variant of kfree_rcu() is currently not
tested by any member of the rcutoture test suite. This
commit therefore adds rcuscale code to test it. This
testing is controlled by two new boolean module parameters,
kfree_rcu_test_single and kfree_rcu_test_double. If one
is set and the other not, only the corresponding variant
is tested, otherwise both are tested, with the variant to
be tested determined randomly on each invocation.
Both of these module parameters are initialized to false,
so setting either to true will test only that variant.

With the core bitmap support now accepting "N" as a placeholder for
the end of the bitmap, "all" can be represented as "0-N" and has the
advantage of not being specific to RCU (or any other subsystem).
So deprecate the use of "all" by removing documentation references
to it. The support itself needs to remain for now, since we don't
know how many people out there are using it currently, but since it
is in an __init area anyway, it isn't worth losing sleep over.

While this is done for all bitmaps, the original use case in mind was
for CPU masks and cpulist_parse() as described below.
It seems that a common configuration is to use the 1st couple cores for
housekeeping tasks. This tends to leave the remaining ones to form a
pool of similarly configured cores to take on the real workload of
interest to the user.
So on machine A - with 32 cores, it could be 0-3 for "system" and then
4-31 being used in boot args like nohz_full=, or rcu_nocbs= as part of
setting up the worker pool of CPUs.
But then newer machine B is added, and it has 48 cores, and so while
the 0-3 part remains unchanged, the pool setup cpu list becomes 4-47.
Multiple deployment becomes easier when we can just simply replace 31
and 47 with "N" and let the system substitute in the actual number at
boot; a number that it knows better than we do.

In order to help identifying problems with IPI handling and remote
function execution add some more data to IPI debugging code.
There have been multiple reports of CPUs looping long times (many
seconds) in smp_call_function_many() waiting for another CPU executing
a function like tlb flushing. Most of these reports have been for
cases where the kernel was running as a guest on top of KVM or Xen
(there are rumours of that happening under VMWare, too, and even on
bare metal).
Finding the root cause hasn't been successful yet, even after more than
2 years of chasing this bug by different developers.
Commit:
35feb60474bf4f7 ("kernel/smp: Provide CSD lock timeout diagnostics")
tried to address this by adding some debug code and by issuing another
IPI when a hang was detected. This helped mitigating the problem
(the repeated IPI unlocks the hang), but the root cause is still unknown.
Current available data suggests that either an IPI wasn't sent when it
should have been, or that the IPI didn't result in the target CPU
executing the queued function (due to the IPI not reaching the CPU,
the IPI handler not being called, or the handler not seeing the queued
request).
Try to add more diagnostic data by introducing a global atomic counter
which is being incremented when doing critical operations (before and
after queueing a new request, when sending an IPI, and when dequeueing
a request). The counter value is stored in percpu variables which can
be printed out when a hang is detected.
The data of the last event (consisting of sequence counter, source
CPU, target CPU, and event type) is stored in a global variable. When
a new event is to be traced, the data of the last event is stored in
the event related percpu location and the global data is updated with
the new event's data. This allows to track two events in one data
location: one by the value of the event data (the event before the
current one), and one by the location itself (the current event).
A typical printout with a detected hang will look like this:
csd: Detected non-responsive CSD lock (#1) on CPU#1, waiting 5000000003 ns for CPU#06 scf_handler_1+0x0/0x50(0xffffa2a881bb1410).
csd: CSD lock (#1) handling prior scf_handler_1+0x0/0x50(0xffffa2a8813823c0) request.
csd: cnt(00008cc): ffff->0000 dequeue (src cpu 0 == empty)
csd: cnt(00008cd): ffff->0006 idle
csd: cnt(0003668): 0001->0006 queue
csd: cnt(0003669): 0001->0006 ipi
csd: cnt(0003e0f): 0007->000a queue
csd: cnt(0003e10): 0001->ffff ping
csd: cnt(0003e71): 0003->0000 ping
csd: cnt(0003e72): ffff->0006 gotipi
csd: cnt(0003e73): ffff->0006 handle
csd: cnt(0003e74): ffff->0006 dequeue (src cpu 0 == empty)
csd: cnt(0003e7f): 0004->0006 ping
csd: cnt(0003e80): 0001->ffff pinged
csd: cnt(0003eb2): 0005->0001 noipi
csd: cnt(0003eb3): 0001->0006 queue
csd: cnt(0003eb4): 0001->0006 noipi
csd: cnt now: 0003f00
The idea is to print only relevant entries. Those are all events which
are associated with the hang (so sender side events for the source CPU
of the hanging request, and receiver side events for the target CPU),
and the related events just before those (for adding data needed to
identify a possible race). Printing all available data would be
possible, but this would add large amounts of data printed on larger
configurations.

Currently CSD lock debugging can be switched on and off via a kernel
config option only. Unfortunately there is at least one problem with
CSD lock handling pending for about 2 years now, which has been seen
in different environments (mostly when running virtualized under KVM
or Xen, at least once on bare metal). Multiple attempts to catch this
issue have finally led to introduction of CSD lock debug code, but
this code is not in use in most distros as it has some impact on
performance.
In order to be able to ship kernels with CONFIG_CSD_LOCK_WAIT_DEBUG
enabled even for production use, add a boot parameter for switching
the debug functionality on. This will reduce any performance impact
of the debug coding to a bare minimum when not being used.

Add a kernel parameter stack_depot_disable to disable stack depot. So
that stack hash table doesn't consume any memory when stack depot is
disabled.
The use case is CONFIG_PAGE_OWNER without page_owner=on. Without this
patch, stackdepot will consume the memory for the hashtable. By default,
it's 8M which is never trivial.
With this option, in CONFIG_PAGE_OWNER configured system, page_owner=off,
stack_depot_disable in kernel command line, we could save the wasted
memory for the hashtable.

In commit 53cdc1cb29e8 ("drivers/base/memory.c: indicate all memory blocks
as removable") we changed the output of the "removable" property of memory
devices to return "1" if and only if the kernel supports memory offlining.
Let's update documentation, stating that the interface is legacy. Also
update documentation of the "state" property and "valid_zones" properties.

No need to store the value for each and every memory block, as we can
easily query the value at runtime. Reshuffle the members to optimize the
memory layout. Also, let's clarify what the interface once was used for
and why it's legacy nowadays.
"phys_device" was used on s390x in older versions of lsmem[2]/chmem[3],
back when they were still part of s390x-tools. They were later replaced
by the variants in linux-utils. For example, RHEL6 and RHEL7 contain
lsmem/chmem from s390-utils. RHEL8 switched to versions from util-linux
on s390x [4].
"phys_device" was added with sysfs support for memory hotplug in commit
3947be1969a9 ("[PATCH] memory hotplug: sysfs and add/remove functions") in
2005. It always returned 0.
s390x started returning something != 0 on some setups (if sclp.rzm is set
by HW) in 2010 via commit 57b552ba0b2f ("memory hotplug/s390: set
phys_device").
For s390x, it allowed for identifying which memory block devices belong to
the same storage increment (RZM). Only if all memory block devices
comprising a single storage increment were offline, the memory could
actually be removed in the hypervisor.
Since commit e5d709bb5fb7 ("s390/memory hotplug: provide
memory_block_size_bytes() function") in 2013 a memory block device spans
at least one storage increment - which is why the interface isn't really
helpful/used anymore (except by old lsmem/chmem tools).
There were once RFC patches to make use of "phys_device" in ACPI context;
however, the underlying problem could be solved using different interfaces
[1].

I went to go add a new RECLAIM_* mode for the zone_reclaim_mode sysctl.
Like a good kernel developer, I also went to go update the
documentation. I noticed that the bits in the documentation didn't
match the bits in the #defines.
The VM never explicitly checks the RECLAIM_ZONE bit. The bit is,
however implicitly checked when checking 'node_reclaim_mode==0'. The
RECLAIM_ZONE #define was removed in a cleanup. That, by itself is fine.
But, when the bit was removed (bit 0) the _other_ bit locations also got
changed. That's not OK because the bit values are documented to mean
one specific thing. Users surely do not expect the meaning to change
from kernel to kernel.
The end result is that if someone had a script that did:
sysctl vm.zone_reclaim_mode=1
it would have gone from enabling node reclaim for clean unmapped pages
to writing out pages during node reclaim after the commit in question.
That's not great.
Put the bits back the way they were and add a comment so something like
this is a bit harder to do again. Update the documentation to make it
clear that the first bit is ignored.

This patch adds swapcache stat for the cgroup v2. The swapcache
represents the memory that is accounted against both the memory and the
swap limit of the cgroup. The main motivation behind exposing the
swapcache stat is for enabling users to gracefully migrate from cgroup
v1's memsw counter to cgroup v2's memory and swap counters.
Cgroup v1's memsw limit allows users to limit the memory+swap usage of a
workload but without control on the exact proportion of memory and swap.
Cgroup v2 provides separate limits for memory and swap which enables more
control on the exact usage of memory and swap individually for the
workload.
With some little subtleties, the v1's memsw limit can be switched with the
sum of the v2's memory and swap limits. However the alternative for memsw
usage is not yet available in cgroup v2. Exposing per-cgroup swapcache
stat enables that alternative. Adding the memory usage and swap usage and
subtracting the swapcache will approximate the memsw usage. This will
help in the transparent migration of the workloads depending on memsw
usage and limit to v2' memory and swap counters.
The reasons these applications are still interested in this approximate
memsw usage are: (1) these applications are not really interested in two
separate memory and swap usage metrics. A single usage metric is more
simple to use and reason about for them.
(2) The memsw usage metric hides the underlying system's swap setup from
the applications. Applications with multiple instances running in a
datacenter with heterogeneous systems (some have swap and some don't) will
keep seeing a consistent view of their usage.

In commit 9669f51de5c0 I tried to get rid of the undocumented cow gc
lifetime knob. The knob's function was never documented and it now
doesn't really have a function since eof and cow gc have been
consolidated.
Regrettably, xfs/231 relies on it and regresses on for-next. I did not
succeed at getting far enough through fstests patch review for the fixup
to land in time.
Restore the sysctl knob, document what it did (does?), put it on the
deprecation schedule, and rip out a redundant function.

Pull driver core / debugfs update from Greg KH:
"Here is the "big" driver core and debugfs update for 5.12-rc1
This set of driver core patches caused a bunch of problems in
linux-next for the past few weeks, when Saravana tried to set
fw_devlink=on as the default functionality. This caused a number of
systems to stop booting, and lots of bugs were fixed in this area for
almost all of the reported systems, but this option is not ready to be
turned on just yet for the default operation based on this testing, so
I've reverted that change at the very end so we don't have to worry
about regressions in 5.12
We will try to turn this on for 5.13 if testing goes better over the
next few months.
Other than the fixes caused by the fw_devlink testing in here, there's
not much more:
- debugfs fixes for invalid input into debugfs_lookup()
- kerneldoc cleanups
- warn message if platform drivers return an error on their remove

Pull IMA updates from Mimi Zohar:
"New is IMA support for measuring kernel critical data, as per usual
based on policy. The first example measures the in memory SELinux
policy. The second example measures the kernel version.
In addition are four bug fixes to address memory leaks and a missing
'static' function declaration"
* tag 'integrity-v5.12' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/zohar/linux-integrity:
integrity: Make function integrity_add_key() static
ima: Free IMA measurement buffer after kexec syscall
ima: Free IMA measurement buffer on error
IMA: Measure kernel version in early boot
selinux: include a consumer of the new IMA critical data hook
IMA: define a builtin critical data measurement policy
IMA: extend critical data hook to limit the measurement based on a label
IMA: limit critical data measurement based on a label
IMA: add policy rule to measure critical data
IMA: define a hook to measure kernel integrity critical data
IMA: add support to measure buffer data hash
IMA: generalize keyring specific measurement constructs

Pull arm64 updates from Will Deacon:
- vDSO build improvements including support for building with BSD.
- Cleanup to the AMU support code and initialisation rework to support
cpufreq drivers built as modules.
- Removal of synthetic frame record from exception stack when entering
the kernel from EL0.
- Add support for the TRNG firmware call introduced by Arm spec
DEN0098.
- Cleanup and refactoring across the board.
- Avoid calling arch_get_random_seed_long() from
add_interrupt_randomness()
- Perf and PMU updates including support for Cortex-A78 and the v8.3
SPE extensions.
- Significant steps along the road to leaving the MMU enabled during
kexec relocation.
- Faultaround changes to initialise prefaulted PTEs as 'old' when
hardware access-flag updates are supported, which drastically
improves vmscan performance.
- CPU errata updates for Cortex-A76 (#1463225) and Cortex-A55
(#1024718)
- Preparatory work for yielding the vector unit at a finer granularity
in the crypto code, which in turn will one day allow us to defer
softirq processing when it is in use.
- Support for overriding CPU ID register fields on the command-line.

Pull performance event updates from Ingo Molnar:
- Add CPU-PMU support for Intel Sapphire Rapids CPUs
- Extend the perf ABI with PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT_STRUCT, to offer
two-parameter sampling event feedback. Not used yet, but is intended
for Golden Cove CPU-PMU, which can provide both the instruction
latency and the cache latency information for memory profiling
events.
- Remove experimental, default-disabled perfmon-v4 counter_freezing
support that could only be enabled via a boot option. The hardware is
hopelessly broken, we'd like to make sure nobody starts relying on
this, as it would only end in tears.
- Fix energy/power events on Intel SPR platforms
- Simplify the uprobes resume_execution() logic
- Misc smaller fixes.
