Instead of allowing public keys, with certificates signed by any
key on the system trusted keyring, to be added to a trusted keyring,
this patch further restricts the certificates to those signed only by
builtin keys on the system keyring.
This patch defines a new option 'builtin' for the kernel parameter
'keys_ownerid' to allow trust validation using builtin keys.
Simplified Mimi's "KEYS: define an owner trusted keyring" patch
Changelog v7:
- rename builtin_keys to use_builtin_keys

Use of multiple-page collect buffers reduces:
1) the number of block IO requests
2) the number of asynchronous hash update requests
Second is important for HW accelerated hashing, because significant
amount of time is spent for preparation of hash update operation,
which includes configuring acceleration HW, DMA engine, etc...
Thus, HW accelerators are more efficient when working on large
chunks of data.
This patch introduces usage of multi-page collect buffers. Buffer size
can be specified using 'ahash_bufsize' module parameter. Default buffer
size is 4096 bytes.
Changes in v3:
- kernel parameter replaced with module parameter

Async hash API allows the use of HW acceleration for hash calculation.
It may give significant performance gain and/or reduce power consumption,
which might be very beneficial for battery powered devices.
This patch introduces hash calculation using ahash API. ahash performance
depends on the data size and the particular HW. Depending on the specific
system, shash performance may be better.
This patch defines 'ahash_minsize' module parameter, which is used to
define the minimal file size to use with ahash. If this minimum file size
is not set or the file is smaller than defined by the parameter, shash will
be used.
Changes in v3:
- kernel parameter replaced with module parameter
- pr_crit replaced with pr_crit_ratelimited
- more comment changes - Mimi
Changes in v2:
- ima_ahash_size became as ima_ahash
- ahash pre-allocation moved out from __init code to be able to use
ahash crypto modules. Ahash allocated once on the first use.
- hash calculation falls back to shash if ahash allocation/calculation fails
- complex initialization separated from variable declaration
- improved comments

By default when CONFIG_XEN and CONFIG_XEN_PVHVM kernels are
run, they will enable the PV extensions (drivers, interrupts, timers,
etc) - which is the best option for the majority of use cases.
However, in some cases (kexec not fully working, benchmarking)
we want to disable Xen PV extensions. As such introduce the
'xen_nopv' parameter that will do it.
This parameter is intended only for HVM guests as the Xen PV
guests MUST boot with PV extensions. However, even if you use
'xen_nopv' on Xen PV guests it will be ignored.

An 80-CPU system with a context-switch-heavy workload can require so
many NOCB kthread wakeups that the RCU grace-period kthreads spend several
tens of percent of a CPU just awakening things. This clearly will not
scale well: If you add enough CPUs, the RCU grace-period kthreads would
get behind, increasing grace-period latency.
To avoid this problem, this commit divides the NOCB kthreads into leaders
and followers, where the grace-period kthreads awaken the leaders each of
whom in turn awakens its followers. By default, the number of groups of
kthreads is the square root of the number of CPUs, but this default may
be overridden using the rcutree.rcu_nocb_leader_stride boot parameter.
This reduces the number of wakeups done per grace period by the RCU
grace-period kthread by the square root of the number of CPUs, but of
course by shifting those wakeups to the leaders. In addition, because
the leaders do grace periods on behalf of their respective followers,
the number of wakeups of the followers decreases by up to a factor of two.
Instead of being awakened once when new callbacks arrive and again
at the end of the grace period, the followers are awakened only at
the end of the grace period.
For a numerical example, in a 4096-CPU system, the grace-period kthread
would awaken 64 leaders, each of which would awaken its 63 followers
at the end of the grace period. This compares favorably with the 79
wakeups for the grace-period kthread on an 80-CPU system.

A 'softlockup' is defined as a bug that causes the kernel to loop in
kernel mode for more than a predefined period to time, without giving
other tasks a chance to run.
Currently, upon detection of this condition by the per-cpu watchdog
task, debug information (including a stack trace) is sent to the system
log.
On some occasions, we have observed that the "victim" rather than the
actual "culprit" (i.e. the owner/holder of the contended resource) is
reported to the user. Often this information has proven to be
insufficient to assist debugging efforts.
To avoid loss of useful debug information, for architectures which
support NMI, this patch makes it possible to improve soft lockup
reporting. This is accomplished by issuing an NMI to each cpu to obtain
a stack trace.
If NMI is not supported we just revert back to the old method. A sysctl
and boot-time parameter is available to toggle this feature.

Commit ac1bea85781e (Make cond_resched() report RCU quiescent states)
fixed a problem where a CPU looping in the kernel with but one runnable
task would give RCU CPU stall warnings, even if the in-kernel loop
contained cond_resched() calls. Unfortunately, in so doing, it introduced
performance regressions in Anton Blanchard's will-it-scale "open1" test.
The problem appears to be not so much the increased cond_resched() path
length as an increase in the rate at which grace periods complete, which
increased per-update grace-period overhead.
This commit takes a different approach to fixing this bug, mainly by
moving the RCU-visible quiescent state from cond_resched() to
rcu_note_context_switch(), and by further reducing the check to a
simple non-zero test of a single per-CPU variable. However, this
approach requires that the force-quiescent-state processing send
resched IPIs to the offending CPUs. These will be sent only once
the grace period has reached an age specified by the boot/sysfs
parameter rcutree.jiffies_till_sched_qs, or once the grace period
reaches an age halfway to the point at which RCU CPU stall warnings
will be emitted, whichever comes first.

Add a "crash_kexec_post_notifiers" boot option to run kdump after
running panic_notifiers and dump kmsg. This can help rare situations
where kdump fails because of unstable crashed kernel or hardware failure
(memory corruption on critical data/code), or the 2nd kernel is already
broken by the 1st kernel (it's a broken behavior, but who can guarantee
that the "crashed" kernel works correctly?).
Usage: add "crash_kexec_post_notifiers" to kernel boot option.
Note that this actually increases risks of the failure of kdump. This
option should be set only if you worry about the rare case of kdump
failure rather than increasing the chance of success.

When a module is built into the kernel the module_init() function
becomes an initcall. Sometimes debugging through dynamic debug can
help, however, debugging built in kernel modules is typically done by
changing the .config, recompiling, and booting the new kernel in an
effort to determine exactly which module caused a problem.
This patchset can be useful stand-alone or combined with initcall_debug.
There are cases where some initcalls can hang the machine before the
console can be flushed, which can make initcall_debug output inaccurate.
Having the ability to skip initcalls can help further debugging of these
scenarios.
Usage: initcall_blacklist=<list of comma separated initcalls>
ex) added "initcall_blacklist=sgi_uv_sysfs_init" as a kernel parameter and
the log contains:
blacklisting initcall sgi_uv_sysfs_init
...
...
initcall sgi_uv_sysfs_init blacklisted
ex) added "initcall_blacklist=foo_bar,sgi_uv_sysfs_init" as a kernel parameter
and the log contains:
blacklisting initcall foo_bar
blacklisting initcall sgi_uv_sysfs_init
...
...
initcall sgi_uv_sysfs_init blacklisted

Currently, "cma=" kernel parameter is used to specify the size of CMA,
but we can't specify where it is located. We want to locate CMA below
4GB for devices only supporting 32-bit addressing on 64-bit systems
without iommu.
This enables to specify the placement of CMA by extending "cma=" kernel
parameter.
Examples:
1. locate 64MB CMA below 4GB by "cma=64M@0-4G"
2. locate 64MB CMA exact at 512MB by "cma=64M@512M"
Note that the DMA contiguous memory allocator on x86 assumes that
page_address() works for the pages to allocate. So this change requires
to limit end address of contiguous memory area upto max_pfn_mapped to
prevent from locating it on highmem area by the argument of
dma_contiguous_reserve().

Pull ACPI and power management updates from Rafael Wysocki:
"ACPICA is the leader this time (63 commits), followed by cpufreq (28
commits), devfreq (15 commits), system suspend/hibernation (12
commits), ACPI video and ACPI device enumeration (10 commits each).
We have no major new features this time, but there are a few
significant changes of how things work. The most visible one will
probably be that we are now going to create platform devices rather
than PNP devices by default for ACPI device objects with _HID. That
was long overdue and will be really necessary to be able to use the
same drivers for the same hardware blocks on ACPI and DT-based systems
going forward. We're not expecting fallout from this one (as usual),
but it's something to watch nevertheless.
The second change having a chance to be visible is that ACPI video
will now default to using native backlight rather than the ACPI
backlight interface which should generally help systems with broken
Win8 BIOSes. We're hoping that all problems with the native backlight
handling that we had previously have been addressed and we are in a
good enough shape to flip the default, but this change should be easy
enough to revert if need be.
In addition to that, the system suspend core has a new mechanism to
allow runtime-suspended devices to stay suspended throughout system
suspend/resume transitions if some extra conditions are met
(generally, they are related to coordination within device hierarchy).
However, enabling this feature requires cooperation from the bus type
layer and for now it has only been implemented for the ACPI PM domain
(used by ACPI-enumerated platform devices mostly today).
Also, the acpidump utility that was previously shipped as a separate
tool will now be provided by the upstream ACPICA along with the rest
of ACPICA code, which will allow it to be more up to date and better
supported, and we have one new cpuidle driver (ARM clps711x).
The rest is improvements related to certain specific use cases,
cleanups and fixes all over the place.
Specifics:
- ACPICA update to upstream version 20140424. That includes a number
of fixes and improvements related to things like GPE handling,
table loading, headers, memory mapping and unmapping, DSDT/SSDT
overriding, and the Unload() operator. The acpidump utility from
upstream ACPICA is included too. From Bob Moore, Lv Zheng, David
Box, David Binderman, and Colin Ian King.
- Fixes and cleanups related to ACPI video and backlight interfaces
from Hans de Goede. That includes blacklist entries for some new
machines and using native backlight by default.
- ACPI device enumeration changes to create platform devices rather
than PNP devices for ACPI device objects with _HID by default. PNP
devices will still be created for the ACPI device object with
device IDs corresponding to real PNP devices, so that change should
not break things left and right, and we're expecting to see more
and more ACPI-enumerated platform devices in the future. From
Zhang Rui and Rafael J Wysocki.
- Updates for the ACPI LPSS (Low-Power Subsystem) driver allowing it
to handle system suspend/resume on Asus T100 correctly. From
Heikki Krogerus and Rafael J Wysocki.
- PM core update introducing a mechanism to allow runtime-suspended
devices to stay suspended over system suspend/resume transitions if
certain additional conditions related to coordination within device
hierarchy are met. Related PM documentation update and ACPI PM
domain support for the new feature. From Rafael J Wysocki.
- Fixes and improvements related to the "freeze" sleep state. They
affect several places including cpuidle, PM core, ACPI core, and
the ACPI battery driver. From Rafael J Wysocki and Zhang Rui.
- Miscellaneous fixes and updates of the ACPI core from Aaron Lu,
Bjørn Mork, Hanjun Guo, Lan Tianyu, and Rafael J Wysocki.
- Fixes and cleanups for the ACPI processor and ACPI PAD (Processor
Aggregator Device) drivers from Baoquan He, Manuel Schölling, Tony
Camuso, and Toshi Kani.
- System suspend/resume optimization in the ACPI battery driver from

when installing the following table during early stage:
ACPI: SSDT 0x00000000B9638018 07A0C4 (v02 INTEL S2600CP 00004000 INTL 20100331)
The regression is caused by the size limitation of the x86 early IO mapping.
The root cause is:
1. ACPICA doesn't split IO memory mapping and table mapping;
2. Linux x86 OSL implements acpi_os_map_memory() using a size limited fix-map
mechanism during early boot stage, which is more suitable for only IO
mappings.
This patch fixes this issue by utilizing acpi_gbl_verify_table_checksum to
disable the table mapping during early stage and enabling it again for the
late stage. In this way, the normal code path is not affected. Then after
the code related to the root cause is cleaned up, the early checksum
verification can be easily re-enabled.
A new boot parameter - acpi_force_table_verification is introduced for
the platforms that require the checksum verification to stop loading bad
tables.
This fix also covers the checksum verification for the table overrides. Now
large tables can also be overridden using the initrd override mechanism.

This patch adds a kernel parameter noxsaves to disable xsaves/xrstors feature.
The kernel will fall back to use xsaveopt and xrstor to save and restor
xstates. By using this parameter, xsave area occupies more memory because
standard form of xsave area in xsaveopt/xrstor occupies more memory than
compacted form of xsave area.
This patch adds a description of the kernel parameter noxsaveopt in doc.
The code to support the parameter noxsaveopt has been in the kernel before.
This patch just adds the description of this parameter in the doc.

Make the boot console available to more m68k platforms by leveraging
the head.S debug console.
The boot console is enabled by the "earlyprintk" command line argument
which is how most other architectures do this.
This is a change of behaviour for the Mac but does not negatively impact
the common use-case which is not debugging.
This is also a change of behaviour for other platforms because it means
the serial port stays quiet when CONFIG_EARLY_PRINTK is not enabled. This
is also an improvement for the common use-case.

On some systems the platform doesn't support neither
PM_SUSPEND_MEM nor PM_SUSPEND_STANDBY, so PM_SUSPEND_FREEZE is the
only available system sleep state. However, some user space frameworks
only use the "mem" and (sometimes) "standby" sleep state labels, so
the users of those systems need to modify user space in order to be
able to use system suspend at all and that is not always possible.
For this reason, add a new kernel command line argument,
relative_sleep_states, allowing the users of those systems to change
the way in which the kernel assigns labels to system sleep states.
Namely, for relative_sleep_states=1, the "mem", "standby" and "freeze"
labels will enumerate the available system sleem states from the
deepest to the shallowest, respectively, so that "mem" is always
present in /sys/power/state and the other state strings may or may
not be presend depending on what is supported by the platform.
Update system sleep states documentation to reflect this change.

acpi-video is unique in that it not only generates brightness up/down
keypresses, but also (sometimes) actively changes the brightness itself.
This presents an inconsistent kernel interface to userspace, basically there
are 2 different scenarios, depending on the laptop model:
1) On some laptops a brightness up/down keypress means: show a brightness osd
with the current brightness, iow it is a brightness has changed notification.
2) Where as on (a lot of) other laptops it means a brightness up/down key was
pressed, deal with it.
Most of the desktop environments interpret any press as in scenario 2, and
change the brightness up / down as a response to the key events, causing it
to be changed twice, once by acpi-video and once by the DE.
With the new default for video.use_native_backlight we will be moving even
more laptops over to behaving as in scenario 2. Making the remaining laptops
even more of a weird exception. Also note that it is hard to detect scenario
1 properly in userspace, and AFAIK none of the DE-s deals with it.
Therefor this commit changes the default of brightness_switch_enabled to 0
making its behavior consistent with all the other backlight drivers.

It is reported that when acpi_gbl_disable_ssdt_table_load is specified, user
still can see it installed into /sys/firmware/acpi/tables on Linux boxes.
This is because the option only stops table "loading", but doesn't stop
table "installing", thus it is still in the acpi_gbl_root_table_list. With
previous cleanups, it is possible to prevent SSDT installations to make
it not such confusing. The global variable is also renamed. Lv Zheng.

Pull x86 vdso changes from Peter Anvin:
"This is the revamp of the 32-bit vdso and the associated cleanups.
This adds timekeeping support to the 32-bit vdso that we already have
in the 64-bit vdso. Although 32-bit x86 is legacy, it is likely to
remain in the embedded space for a very long time to come.
This removes the traditional COMPAT_VDSO support; the configuration
variable is reused for simply removing the 32-bit vdso, which will
produce correct results but obviously suffer a performance penalty.
Only one beta version of glibc was affected, but that version was
unfortunately included in one OpenSUSE release.
This is not the end of the vdso cleanups. Stefani and Andy have
agreed to continue work for the next kernel cycle; in fact Andy has
already produced another set of cleanups that came too late for this
cycle.
An incidental, but arguably important, change is that this ensures
that unused space in the VVAR page is properly zeroed. It wasn't
before, and would contain whatever garbage was left in memory by BIOS
or the bootloader. Since the VVAR page is accessible to user space
this had the potential of information leaks"

Pull ACPI and power management updates from Rafael Wysocki:
"The majority of this material spent some time in linux-next, some of
it even several weeks. There are a few relatively fresh commits in
it, but they are mostly fixes and simple cleanups.
ACPI took the lead this time, both in terms of the number of commits
and the number of modified lines of code, cpufreq follows and there
are a few changes in the PM core and in cpuidle too.
A new feature that already got some LWN.net's attention is the device
PM QoS extension allowing latency tolerance requirements to be
propagated from leaf devices to their ancestors with hardware
interfaces for specifying latency tolerance. That should help systems
with hardware-driven power management to avoid going too far with it
in cases when there are latency tolerance constraints.
There also are some significant changes in the ACPI core related to
the way in which hotplug notifications are handled. They affect PCI
hotplug (ACPIPHP) and the ACPI dock station code too. The bottom line
is that all those notification now go through the root notify handler
and are propagated to the interested subsystems by means of callbacks
instead of having to install a notify handler for each device object
that we can potentially get hotplug notifications for.
In addition to that ACPICA will now advertise "Windows 2013"
compatibility for _OSI, because some systems out there don't work
correctly if that is not done (some of them don't even boot).
On the system suspend side of things, all of the device suspend and
resume callbacks, except for ->prepare() and ->complete(), are now
going to be executed asynchronously as that turns out to speed up
system suspend and resume on some platforms quite significantly and we
have a few more optimizations in that area.
Apart from that, there are some new device IDs and fixes and cleanups
all over. In particular, the system suspend and resume handling by
cpufreq should be improved and the cpuidle menu governor should be a
bit more robust now.
Specifics:
- Device PM QoS support for latency tolerance constraints on systems
with hardware interfaces allowing such constraints to be specified.
That is necessary to prevent hardware-driven power management from
becoming overly aggressive on some systems and to prevent power
management features leading to excessive latencies from being used
in some cases.
- Consolidation of the handling of ACPI hotplug notifications for
device objects. This causes all device hotplug notifications to go
through the root notify handler (that was executed for all of them
anyway before) that propagates them to individual subsystems, if
necessary, by executing callbacks provided by those subsystems
(those callbacks are associated with struct acpi_device objects
during device enumeration). As a result, the code in question
becomes both smaller in size and more straightforward and all of
those changes should not affect users.
- ACPICA update, including fixes related to the handling of _PRT in
cases when it is broken and the addition of "Windows 2013" to the
list of supported "features" for _OSI (which is necessary to
support systems that work incorrectly or don't even boot without
it). Changes from Bob Moore and Lv Zheng.
- Consolidation of ACPI _OST handling from Jiang Liu.
- ACPI battery and AC fixes allowing unusual system configurations to
be handled by that code from Alexander Mezin.

The previous commit "ACPICA: Add auto-serialization support for ill-behaved
control methods" introduced the auto-serialization facility as a workaround
that can be enabled by "acpi_auto_serialize":
This feature marks control methods that create named objects as "serialized"
to avoid unwanted AE_ALREADY_EXISTS control method evaluation failures.
Enable method auto-serialization as the default kernel behavior. The new kernel
parameter is also changed from "acpi_auto_serialize" to "acpi_no_auto_serialize"
to reflect the default behavior.

This change adds support to automatically mark a control method as
"serialized" if the method creates any named objects. This will
positively prevent the method from being entered by more than one
thread and thus preventing a possible abort when an attempt is
made to create an object twice.
Implemented by parsing all non-serialize control methods at table
load time.
This feature is disabled by default and this patch also adds a new
Linux kernel parameter "acpi_auto_serialize" to allow this feature
to be turned on for a specific boot.

According to the reports, the "acpi_serialize" mechanism is broken as:
A. The parallel method calls can still happen when the interpreter lock is
released under the following conditions:
1. External callbacks are invoked, for example, by the region handlers,
the exception handlers, etc.;
2. Module level execution is performed when Load/LoadTable opcodes are
executed, and
3. The _REG control methods are invoked to complete the region
registrations.
B. For the following situations, the interpreter lock need to be released
even for a serialized method while currently, the lock-releasing
operation is marked as a no-op by
acpi_ex_relinquish/reacquire_interpreter() when this mechanism is
enabled:
1. Wait opcode is executed,
2. Acquire opcode is executed, and
3. Sleep opcode is executed.
This patch removes this mechanism and the internal
acpi_ex_relinquish/reacquire_interpreter() APIs. Lv Zheng.

Many Pentium M systems disable PAE but may have a functionally usable PAE
implementation. This adds the "forcepae" parameter which bypasses the boot
check for PAE, and sets the CPU as being PAE capable. Using this parameter
will taint the kernel with TAINT_CPU_OUT_OF_SPEC.

The compat vDSO is a complicated hack that's needed to maintain
compatibility with a small range of glibc versions.
This removes it and replaces it with a much simpler hack: a config
option to disable the 32-bit vDSO by default.
This also changes the default value of CONFIG_COMPAT_VDSO to n --
users configuring kernels from scratch almost certainly want that
choice.

Randomize the load address of modules in the kernel to make kASLR
effective for modules. Modules can only be loaded within a particular
range of virtual address space. This patch adds 10 bits of entropy to
the load address by adding 1-1024 * PAGE_SIZE to the beginning range
where modules are loaded.
The single base offset was chosen because randomizing each module
load ends up wasting/fragmenting memory too much. Prior approaches to
minimizing fragmentation while doing randomization tend to result in
worse entropy than just doing a single base address offset.
Example kASLR boot without this change, with a single module loaded:
---[ Modules ]---
0xffffffffc0000000-0xffffffffc0001000 4K ro GLB x pte
0xffffffffc0001000-0xffffffffc0002000 4K ro GLB NX pte
0xffffffffc0002000-0xffffffffc0004000 8K RW GLB NX pte
0xffffffffc0004000-0xffffffffc0200000 2032K pte
0xffffffffc0200000-0xffffffffff000000 1006M pmd
---[ End Modules ]---
Example kASLR boot after this change, same module loaded:
---[ Modules ]---
0xffffffffc0000000-0xffffffffc0200000 2M pmd
0xffffffffc0200000-0xffffffffc03bf000 1788K pte
0xffffffffc03bf000-0xffffffffc03c0000 4K ro GLB x pte
0xffffffffc03c0000-0xffffffffc03c1000 4K ro GLB NX pte
0xffffffffc03c1000-0xffffffffc03c3000 8K RW GLB NX pte
0xffffffffc03c3000-0xffffffffc0400000 244K pte
0xffffffffc0400000-0xffffffffff000000 1004M pmd
---[ End Modules ]---
