fb1201aece Documentation: efi: remove description of efi=old_map 
The old EFI runtime region mapping logic that was kept around for some
time has finally been removed entirely, along with the SGI UV1 support
code that was its last remaining user. So remove any mention of the
efi=old_map command line parameter from the docs.

be3a5b0e8b Doc: admin-guide: use correct legends in kernel-parameters.txt 
Documentation/admin-guide/kernel-parameters.rst includes a legend
telling us what configurations or hardware platforms are relevant
for certain boot options.  For X86, it is spelled "X86" and for
x86_64, it is spelled "X86-64", so make corrections for those.

e17f1dfba3 mm, slub: extend slub_debug syntax for multiple blocks 
Patch series "slub_debug fixes and improvements".

The slub_debug kernel boot parameter can either apply a single set of
options to all caches or a list of caches.  There is a use case where
debugging is applied for all caches and then disabled at runtime for
specific caches, for performance and memory consumption reasons [1].  As
runtime changes are dangerous, extend the boot parameter syntax so that
multiple blocks of either global or slab-specific options can be
specified, with blocks delimited by ';'.  This will also support the use
case of [1] without runtime changes.

For details see the updated Documentation/vm/slub.rst

25d8d4eeca powerpc updates for 5.9 
- Add support for (optionally) using queued spinlocks & rwlocks.
 
  - Support for a new faster system call ABI using the scv instruction on Power9
    or later.
 
  - Drop support for the PROT_SAO mmap/mprotect flag as it will be unsupported on
    Power10 and future processors, leaving us with no way to implement the
    functionality it requests. This risks breaking userspace, though we believe
    it is unused in practice.
 
  - A bug fix for, and then the removal of, our custom stack expansion checking.
    We now allow stack expansion up to the rlimit, like other architectures.
 
  - Remove the remnants of our (previously disabled) topology update code, which
    tried to react to NUMA layout changes on virtualised systems, but was prone
    to crashes and other problems.
 
  - Add PMU support for Power10 CPUs.
 
  - A change to our signal trampoline so that we don't unbalance the link stack
    (branch return predictor) in the signal delivery path.
 
  - Lots of other cleanups, refactorings, smaller features and so on as usual.

dd27111e32 Driver core changes for 5.9-rc1 
Here is the "big" set of changes to the driver core, and some drivers
 using the changes, for 5.9-rc1.
 
 "Biggest" thing in here is the device link exposure in sysfs, to help
 to tame the madness that is SoC device tree representations and driver
 interactions with it.
 
 Other stuff in here that is interesting is:
 	- device probe log helper so that drivers can report problems in
 	  a unified way easier.
 	- devres functions added
 	- DEVICE_ATTR_ADMIN_* macro added to make it harder to write
 	  incorrect sysfs file permissions
 	- documentation cleanups
 	- ability for debugfs to be present in the kernel, yet not
 	  exposed to userspace.  Needed for systems that want it
 	  enabled, but do not trust users, so they can still use some
 	  kernel functions that were otherwise disabled.
 	- other minor fixes and cleanups
 
 The patches outside of drivers/base/ all have acks from the respective
 subsystem maintainers to go through this tree instead of theirs.
 
 All of these have been in linux-next with no reported issues.

4da9f33026 Support for FSGSBASE. Almost 5 years after the first RFC to support it, 
this has been brought into a shape which is maintainable and actually
 works.
 
 This final version was done by Sasha Levin who took it up after Intel
 dropped the ball. Sasha discovered that the SGX (sic!) offerings out there
 ship rogue kernel modules enabling FSGSBASE behind the kernels back which
 opens an instantanious unpriviledged root hole.
 
 The FSGSBASE instructions provide a considerable speedup of the context
 switch path and enable user space to write GSBASE without kernel
 interaction. This enablement requires careful handling of the exception
 entries which go through the paranoid entry path as they cannot longer rely
 on the assumption that user GSBASE is positive (as enforced via prctl() on
 non FSGSBASE enabled systemn). All other entries (syscalls, interrupts and
 exceptions) can still just utilize SWAPGS unconditionally when the entry
 comes from user space. Converting these entries to use FSGSBASE has no
 benefit as SWAPGS is only marginally slower than WRGSBASE and locating and
 retrieving the kernel GSBASE value is not a free operation either. The real
 benefit of RD/WRGSBASE is the avoidance of the MSR reads and writes.
 
 The changes come with appropriate selftests and have held up in field
 testing against the (sanitized) Graphene-SGX driver.

bf6b7661f4 powerpc/book3s64/radix: Add kernel command line option to disable radix GTSE 
This adds a kernel command line option that can be used to disable GTSE support.
Disabling GTSE implies kernel will make hcalls to invalidate TLB entries.

This was done so that we can do VM migration between configs that enable/disable
GTSE support via hypervisor. To migrate a VM from a system that supports
GTSE to a system that doesn't, we can boot the guest with
radix_hcall_invalidate=on, thereby forcing the guest to use hcalls for TLB
invalidates.

The check for hcall availability is done in pSeries_setup_arch so that
the panic message appears on the console. This should only happen on
a hypervisor that doesn't force the guest to hash translation even
though it can't handle the radix GTSE=0 request via CAS. With
radix_hcall_invalidate=on if the hypervisor doesn't support hcall_rpt_invalidate
hcall it should force the LPAR to hash translation.

a24c6f7bc9 debugfs: Add access restriction option 
Since debugfs include sensitive information it need to be treated
carefully. But it also has many very useful debug functions for userspace.
With this option we can have same configuration for system with
need of debugfs and a way to turn it off. This gives a extra protection
for exposure on systems where user-space services with system
access are attacked.

It is controlled by a configurable default value that can be override
with a kernel command line parameter. (debugfs=)

It can be on or off, but also internally on but not seen from user-space.
This no-mount mode do not register a debugfs as filesystem, but client can
register their parts in the internal structures. This data can be readed
with a debugger or saved with a crashkernel. When it is off clients
get EPERM error when accessing the functions for registering their
components.

There are cases where a guest tries to switch spinlocks to bare metal
behavior (e.g. by setting "xen_nopvspin" on XEN platform and
"hv_nopvspin" on HYPER_V).

That feature is missed on KVM, add a new parameter "nopvspin" to disable
PV spinlocks for KVM guest.

The new 'nopvspin' parameter will also replace Xen and Hyper-V specific
parameters in future patches.

Define variable nopvsin as global because it will be used in future

8412b4563e cpufreq: Specify default governor on command line 
Currently, the only way to specify the default CPUfreq governor is
via Kconfig options, which suits users who can build the kernel
themselves perfectly.

However, for those who use a distro-like kernel (such as Android,
with the Generic Kernel Image project), the only way to use a
non-default governor is to boot to userspace, and to then switch
using the sysfs interface. Being able to specify the default governor
on the command line, like is the case for cpuidle, would allow those
users to specify their governor of choice earlier on, and to simplify
the userspace boot procedure slighlty.

To support this use-case, add a kernel command line parameter
allowing the default governor for CPUfreq to be specified, which
takes precedence over the built-in default.

This implementation has one notable limitation: the default governor
must be registered before the driver. This is solved for builtin
governors and drivers using appropriate *_initcall() functions. And
in the modular case, this must be reflected as a constraint on the
module loading order.

2102ad290a torture: Dump ftrace at shutdown only if requested 
If there is a large number of torture tests running concurrently,
all of which are dumping large ftrace buffers at shutdown time, the
resulting dumping can take a very long time, particularly on systems
with rotating-rust storage.  This commit therefore adds a default-off
torture.ftrace_dump_at_shutdown module parameter that enables
shutdown-time ftrace-buffer dumping.

4a5f133c15 rcutorture: Add races with task-exit processing 
Several variants of Linux-kernel RCU interact with task-exit processing,
including preemptible RCU, Tasks RCU, and Tasks Trace RCU.  This commit
therefore adds testing of this interaction to rcutorture by adding
rcutorture.read_exit_burst and rcutorture.read_exit_delay kernel-boot
parameters.  These kernel parameters control the frequency and spacing
of special read-then-exit kthreads that are spawned.

1fbeb3a8c4 refperf: Rename refperf.c to refscale.c and change internal names 
This commit further avoids conflation of refperf with the kernel's perf
feature by renaming kernel/rcu/refperf.c to kernel/rcu/refscale.c,
and also by similarly renaming the functions and variables inside
this file.  This has the side effect of changing the names of the
kernel boot parameters, so kernel-parameters.txt and ver_functions.sh
are also updated.

The rcutorture --torture type remains refperf, and this will be
addressed in a separate commit.

53c72b590b rcu/tree: cache specified number of objects 
In order to reduce the dynamic need for pages in kfree_rcu(),
pre-allocate a configurable number of pages per CPU and link
them in a list. When kfree_rcu() reclaims objects, the object's
container page is cached into a list instead of being released
to the low-level page allocator.

Such an approach provides O(1) access to free pages while also
reducing the number of requests to the page allocator. It also
makes the kfree_rcu() code to have free pages available during
a low memory condition.

A read-only sysfs parameter (rcu_min_cached_objs) reflects the
minimum number of allowed cached pages per CPU.

Pull x86 srbds fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
 "The 9th episode of the dime novel "The performance killer" with the
  subtitle "Slow Randomizing Boosts Denial of Service".

  SRBDS is an MDS-like speculative side channel that can leak bits from
  the random number generator (RNG) across cores and threads. New
  microcode serializes the processor access during the execution of
  RDRAND and RDSEED. This ensures that the shared buffer is overwritten
  before it is released for reuse. This is equivalent to a full bus
  lock, which means that many threads running the RNG instructions in
  parallel have the same effect as the same amount of threads issuing a
  locked instruction targeting an address which requires locking of two
  cachelines at once.

  The mitigation support comes with the usual pile of unpleasant
  ingredients:

   - command line options

   - sysfs file

   - microcode checks

   - a list of vulnerable CPUs identified by model and stepping this
     time which requires stepping match support for the cpu match logic.

   - the inevitable slowdown of affected CPUs"

f117955a22 kernel/watchdog.c: convert {soft/hard}lockup boot parameters to sysctl aliases 
After a recent change introduced by Vlastimil's series [0], kernel is
able now to handle sysctl parameters on kernel command line; also, the
series introduced a simple infrastructure to convert legacy boot
parameters (that duplicate sysctls) into sysctl aliases.

This patch converts the watchdog parameters softlockup_panic and
{hard,soft}lockup_all_cpu_backtrace to use the new alias infrastructure.
It fixes the documentation too, since the alias only accepts values 0 or
1, not the full range of integers.

We also took the opportunity here to improve the documentation of the
previously converted hung_task_panic (see the patch series [0]) and put
the alias table in alphabetical order.

b467f3ef3c kernel/hung_task convert hung_task_panic boot parameter to sysctl 
We can now handle sysctl parameters on kernel command line and have
infrastructure to convert legacy command line options that duplicate
sysctl to become a sysctl alias.

This patch converts the hung_task_panic parameter.  Note that the sysctl
handler is more strict and allows only 0 and 1, while the legacy
parameter allowed any non-zero value.  But there is little reason anyone
would not be using 1.

3db978d480 kernel/sysctl: support setting sysctl parameters from kernel command line 
Patch series "support setting sysctl parameters from kernel command line", v3.

This series adds support for something that seems like many people
always wanted but nobody added it yet, so here's the ability to set
sysctl parameters via kernel command line options in the form of
sysctl.vm.something=1

The important part is Patch 1.  The second, not so important part is an
attempt to clean up legacy one-off parameters that do the same thing as
a sysctl.  I don't want to remove them completely for compatibility
reasons, but with generic sysctl support the idea is to remove the
one-off param handlers and treat the parameters as aliases for the
sysctl variants.

I have identified several parameters that mention sysctl counterparts in
Documentation/admin-guide/kernel-parameters.txt but there might be more.
The conversion also has varying level of success:

 - numa_zonelist_order is converted in Patch 2 together with adding the
   necessary infrastructure. It's easy as it doesn't really do anything
   but warn on deprecated value these days.

 - hung_task_panic is converted in Patch 3, but there's a downside that
   now it only accepts 0 and 1, while previously it was any integer
   value

 - nmi_watchdog maps to two sysctls nmi_watchdog and hardlockup_panic,
   so there's no straighforward conversion possible

 - traceoff_on_warning is a flag without value and it would be required
   to handle that somehow in the conversion infractructure, which seems
   pointless for a single flag

This patch (of 5):

A recently proposed patch to add vm_swappiness command line parameter in
addition to existing sysctl [1] made me wonder why we don't have a
general support for passing sysctl parameters via command line.

Googling found only somebody else wondering the same [2], but I haven't
found any prior discussion with reasons why not to do this.

Settings the vm_swappiness issue aside (the underlying issue might be
solved in a different way), quick search of kernel-parameters.txt shows
there are already some that exist as both sysctl and kernel parameter -
hung_task_panic, nmi_watchdog, numa_zonelist_order, traceoff_on_warning.

A general mechanism would remove the need to add more of those one-offs
and might be handy in situations where configuration by e.g.
/etc/sysctl.d/ is impractical.

Hence, this patch adds a new parse_args() pass that looks for parameters
prefixed by 'sysctl.' and tries to interpret them as writes to the
corresponding sys/ files using an temporary in-kernel procfs mount.
This mechanism was suggested by Eric W.  Biederman [3], as it handles
all dynamically registered sysctl tables, even though we don't handle
modular sysctls.  Errors due to e.g.  invalid parameter name or value
are reported in the kernel log.

The processing is hooked right before the init process is loaded, as
some handlers might be more complicated than simple setters and might
need some subsystems to be initialized.  At the moment the init process
can be started and eventually execute a process writing to /proc/sys/
then it should be also fine to do that from the kernel.

Sysctls registered later on module load time are not set by this
mechanism - it's expected that in such scenarios, setting sysctl values
from userspace is practical enough.

db38d5c106 kernel: add panic_on_taint 
Analogously to the introduction of panic_on_warn, this patch introduces
a kernel option named panic_on_taint in order to provide a simple and
generic way to stop execution and catch a coredump when the kernel gets
tainted by any given flag.

This is useful for debugging sessions as it avoids having to rebuild the
kernel to explicitly add calls to panic() into the code sites that
introduce the taint flags of interest.

For instance, if one is interested in proceeding with a post-mortem
analysis at the point a given code path is hitting a bad page (i.e.
unaccount_page_cache_page(), or slab_bug()), a coredump can be collected
by rebooting the kernel with 'panic_on_taint=0x20' amended to the
command line.

Another, perhaps less frequent, use for this option would be as a means
for assuring a security policy case where only a subset of taints, or no
single taint (in paranoid mode), is allowed for the running system.  The
optional switch 'nousertaint' is handy in this particular scenario, as
it will avoid userspace induced crashes by writes to sysctl interface
/proc/sys/kernel/tainted causing false positive hits for such policies.

Pull media updates from Mauro Carvalho Chehab:

 - Media documentation is now split into admin-guide, driver-api and
   userspace-api books (a longstanding request from Jon);

 - The media Kconfig was reorganized, in order to make easier to select
   drivers and their dependencies;

 - The testing drivers now has a separate directory;

 - added a new driver for Rockchip Video Decoder IP;

 - The atomisp staging driver was resurrected. It is meant to work with
   4 generations of cameras on Atom-based laptops, tablets and cell
   phones. So, it seems worth investing time to cleanup this driver and
   making it in good shape.

 - Added some V4L2 core ancillary routines to help with h264 codecs;

 - Added an ov2740 image sensor driver;

 - The si2157 gained support for Analog TV, which, in turn, added
   support for some cx231xx and cx23885 boards to also support analog
   standards;

 - Added some V4L2 controls (V4L2_CID_CAMERA_ORIENTATION and
   V4L2_CID_CAMERA_SENSOR_ROTATION) to help identifying where the camera
   is located at the device;

 - VIDIOC_ENUM_FMT was extended to support MC-centric devices;

 - Lots of drivers improvements and cleanups.

282f421438 hugetlbfs: clean up command line processing 
With all hugetlb page processing done in a single file clean up code.

- Make code match desired semantics
  - Update documentation with semantics
- Make all warnings and errors messages start with 'HugeTLB:'.
- Consistently name command line parsing routines.
- Warn if !hugepages_supported() and command line parameters have
  been specified.
- Add comments to code
  - Describe some of the subtle interactions
  - Describe semantics of command line arguments

This patch also fixes issues with implicitly setting the number of
gigantic huge pages to preallocate.  Previously on X86 command line,

        hugepages=2 default_hugepagesz=1G

would result in zero 1G pages being preallocated and,

        # grep HugePages_Total /proc/meminfo
        HugePages_Total:       0
        # sysctl -a | grep nr_hugepages
        vm.nr_hugepages = 2
        vm.nr_hugepages_mempolicy = 2
        # cat /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages
        2

After this patch 2 gigantic pages will be preallocated and all the proc,
sysfs, sysctl and meminfo files will accurately reflect this.

To address the issue with gigantic pages, a small change in behavior was
made to command line processing.  Previously the command line,

        hugepages=128 default_hugepagesz=2M hugepagesz=2M hugepages=256

would result in the allocation of 256 2M huge pages.  The value 128 would
be ignored without any warning.  After this patch, 128 2M pages will be
allocated and a warning message will be displayed indicating the value of
256 is ignored.  This change in behavior is required because allocation of
implicitly specified gigantic pages must be done when the
default_hugepagesz= is encountered for gigantic pages.  Previously the
code waited until later in the boot process (hugetlb_init), to allocate
pages of default size.  However the bootmem allocator required for
gigantic allocations is not available at this time.

f1e455352b kgdb patches for 5.8-rc1 
By far the biggest change in this cycle are the changes that allow much
 earlier debug of systems that are hooked up via UART by taking advantage
 of the earlycon framework to implement the kgdb I/O hooks before handing
 over to the regular polling I/O drivers once they are available. When
 discussing Doug's work we also found and fixed an broken
 raw_smp_processor_id() sequence in in_dbg_master().
 
 Also included are a collection of much smaller fixes and tweaks: a
 couple of tweaks to ged rid of doc gen or coccicheck warnings, future
 proof some internal calculations that made implicit power-of-2
 assumptions and eliminate some rather weird handling of magic
 environment variables in kdb.

f71fc3bc7b Documentation: kgdboc: Document new kgdboc_earlycon parameter 
The recent patch ("kgdboc: Add kgdboc_earlycon to support early kgdb
using boot consoles") adds a new kernel command line parameter.
Document it.

Note that the patch adding the feature does some comparing/contrasting
of "kgdboc_earlycon" vs. the existing "ekgdboc".  See that patch for
more details, but briefly "ekgdboc" can be used _instead_ of "kgdboc"
and just makes "kgdboc" do its normal initialization early (only works
if your tty driver is already ready).  The new "kgdboc_earlycon" works
in combination with "kgdboc" and is backed by boot consoles.

bd35c77e32 x86/tsc: Add tsc_early_khz command line parameter 
Changing base clock frequency directly impacts TSC Hz but not CPUID.16h
value. An overclocked CPU supporting CPUID.16h and with partial CPUID.15h
support will set TSC KHZ according to "best guess" given by CPUID.16h
relying on tsc_refine_calibration_work to give better numbers later.
tsc_refine_calibration_work will refuse to do its work when the outcome is
off the early TSC KHZ value by more than 1% which is certain to happen on
an overclocked system.

Fix this by adding a tsc_early_khz command line parameter that makes the
kernel skip early TSC calibration and use the given value instead.

This allows the user to provide the expected TSC frequency that is closer
to reality than the one reported by the hardware, enabling
tsc_refine_calibration_work to do meaningful error checking.

[ tglx: Made the variable __initdata as it's only used on init and
        removed the error checking in the argument parser because
	kstrto*() only stores to the variable if the string is valid ]

This commit aids testing of RCU task stall warning messages by adding
an rcutorture.stall_cpu_block module parameter that results in the
induced stall sleeping within the RCU read-side critical section.
Spinning with interrupts disabled is still available via the
rcutorture.stall_cpu_irqsoff module parameter, and specifying neither
of these two module parameters will spin with preemption disabled.

Note that sleeping (as opposed to preemption) results in additional
complaints from RCU at context-switch time, so yet more testing.

b0afa0f056 rcu-tasks: Provide boot parameter to delay IPIs until late in grace period 
This commit provides a rcupdate.rcu_task_ipi_delay kernel boot parameter
that specifies how old the RCU tasks trace grace period must be before
the grace-period kthread starts sending IPIs.  This delay allows more
tasks to pass through rcu_tasks_qs() quiescent states, thus reducing
(or even eliminating) the number of IPIs that must be sent.

On a short rcutorture test setting this kernel boot parameter to HZ/2
resulted in zero IPIs for all 877 RCU-tasks trace grace periods that
elapsed during that test.

694cfd87b0 x86/setup: Add an initrdmem= option to specify initrd physical address 
Add the initrdmem option:

  initrdmem=ss[KMG],nn[KMG]

which is used to specify the physical address of the initrd, almost
always an address in FLASH. Also add code for x86 to use the existing
phys_init_start and phys_init_size variables in the kernel.

This is useful in cases where a kernel and an initrd is placed in FLASH,
but there is no firmware file system structure in the FLASH.

One such situation occurs when unused FLASH space on UEFI systems has
been reclaimed by, e.g., taking it from the Management Engine. For
example, on many systems, the ME is given half the FLASH part; not only
is 2.75M of an 8M part unused; but 10.75M of a 16M part is unused. This
space can be used to contain an initrd, but need to tell Linux where it
is.

This space is "raw": due to, e.g., UEFI limitations: it can not be added
to UEFI firmware volumes without rebuilding UEFI from source or writing
a UEFI device driver. It can be referenced only as a physical address
and size.

At the same time, if a kernel can be "netbooted" or loaded from GRUB or
syslinux, the option of not using the physical address specification
should be available.

Then, it is easy to boot the kernel and provide an initrd; or boot the
the kernel and let it use the initrd in FLASH. In practice, this has
proven to be very helpful when integrating Linux into FLASH on x86.

Hence, the most flexible and convenient path is to enable the initrdmem
command line option in a way that it is the last choice tried.

For example, on the DigitalLoggers Atomic Pi, an image into FLASH can be
burnt in with a built-in command line which includes:

  initrdmem=0xff968000,0x200000

which specifies a location and size.

3155f4f408 USB: hub: Revert commit bd0e6c9614 ("usb: hub: try old enumeration scheme first for high speed devices") 
Commit bd0e6c9614 ("usb: hub: try old enumeration scheme first for
high speed devices") changed the way the hub driver enumerates
high-speed devices.  Instead of using the "new" enumeration scheme
first and switching to the "old" scheme if that doesn't work, we start
with the "old" scheme.  In theory this is better because the "old"
scheme is slightly faster -- it involves resetting the device only
once instead of twice.

However, for a long time Windows used only the "new" scheme.  Zeng Tao
said that Windows 8 and later use the "old" scheme for high-speed
devices, but apparently there are some devices that don't like it.
William Bader reports that the Ricoh webcam built into his Sony Vaio
laptop not only doesn't enumerate under the "old" scheme, it gets hung
up so badly that it won't then enumerate under the "new" scheme!  Only
a cold reset will fix it.

Therefore we will revert the commit and go back to trying the "new"
scheme first for high-speed devices.

7e5b3c267d x86/speculation: Add Special Register Buffer Data Sampling (SRBDS) mitigation 
SRBDS is an MDS-like speculative side channel that can leak bits from the
random number generator (RNG) across cores and threads. New microcode
serializes the processor access during the execution of RDRAND and
RDSEED. This ensures that the shared buffer is overwritten before it is
released for reuse.

While it is present on all affected CPU models, the microcode mitigation
is not needed on models that enumerate ARCH_CAPABILITIES[MDS_NO] in the
cases where TSX is not supported or has been disabled with TSX_CTRL.

The mitigation is activated by default on affected processors and it
increases latency for RDRAND and RDSEED instructions. Among other
effects this will reduce throughput from /dev/urandom.

* Enable administrator to configure the mitigation off when desired using
  either mitigations=off or srbds=off.

* Export vulnerability status via sysfs

* Rename file-scoped macros to apply for non-whitelist table initializations.

cf11e85fc0 mm: hugetlb: optionally allocate gigantic hugepages using cma 
Commit 944d9fec8d ("hugetlb: add support for gigantic page allocation
at runtime") has added the run-time allocation of gigantic pages.

However it actually works only at early stages of the system loading,
when the majority of memory is free.  After some time the memory gets
fragmented by non-movable pages, so the chances to find a contiguous 1GB
block are getting close to zero.  Even dropping caches manually doesn't
help a lot.

At large scale rebooting servers in order to allocate gigantic hugepages
is quite expensive and complex.  At the same time keeping some constant
percentage of memory in reserved hugepages even if the workload isn't
using it is a big waste: not all workloads can benefit from using 1 GB
pages.

The following solution can solve the problem:
1) On boot time a dedicated cma area* is reserved. The size is passed
   as a kernel argument.
2) Run-time allocations of gigantic hugepages are performed using the
   cma allocator and the dedicated cma area

In this case gigantic hugepages can be allocated successfully with a
high probability, however the memory isn't completely wasted if nobody
is using 1GB hugepages: it can be used for pagecache, anon memory, THPs,
etc.

* On a multi-node machine a per-node cma area is allocated on each node.
  Following gigantic hugetlb allocation are using the first available
  numa node if the mask isn't specified by a user.

Usage:
1) configure the kernel to allocate a cma area for hugetlb allocations:
   pass hugetlb_cma=10G as a kernel argument

2) allocate hugetlb pages as usual, e.g.
   echo 10 > /sys/kernel/mm/hugepages/hugepages-1048576kB/nr_hugepages

If the option isn't enabled or the allocation of the cma area failed,
the current behavior of the system is preserved.

x86 and arm-64 are covered by this patch, other architectures can be
trivially added later.

The patch contains clean-ups and fixes proposed and implemented by Aslan
Bakirov and Randy Dunlap.  It also contains ideas and suggestions
proposed by Rik van Riel, Michal Hocko and Mike Kravetz.  Thanks!

f3cd4c865b mm/memory_hotplug.c: only respect mem= parameter during boot stage 
In commit 357b4da50a ("x86: respect memory size limiting via mem=
parameter") a global varialbe max_mem_size is added to store the value
parsed from 'mem= ', then checked when memory region is added.  This truly
stops those DIMMs from being added into system memory during boot-time.

However, it also limits the later memory hotplug functionality.  Any DIMM
can't be hotplugged any more if its region is beyond the max_mem_size.  We
will get errors like:

[  216.387164] acpi PNP0C80:02: add_memory failed
[  216.389301] acpi PNP0C80:02: acpi_memory_enable_device() error
[  216.392187] acpi PNP0C80:02: Enumeration failure

This will cause issue in a known use case where 'mem=' is added to the
hypervisor.  The memory that lies after 'mem=' boundary will be assigned
to KVM guests.  After commit 357b4da50a merged, memory can't be extended
dynamically if system memory on hypervisor is not sufficient.

So fix it by also checking if it's during boot-time restricting to add
memory.  Otherwise, skip the restriction.

And also add this use case to document of 'mem=' kernel parameter.

has boot up via /sys/power/pm_debug_messages.

This makes the hibernation resume hard to track as it involves system

to track the resume process, for example.

Add a kernel command line option to set pm_debug_messages during

Merge tag 'selinux-pr-20200330' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/pcmoore/selinux

Pull SELinux updates from Paul Moore:
 "We've got twenty SELinux patches for the v5.7 merge window, the
  highlights are below:

   - Deprecate setting /sys/fs/selinux/checkreqprot to 1.

     This flag was originally created to deal with legacy userspace and
     the READ_IMPLIES_EXEC personality flag. We changed the default from
     1 to 0 back in Linux v4.4 and now we are taking the next step of
     deprecating it, at some point in the future we will take the final
     step of rejecting 1.

   - Allow kernfs symlinks to inherit the SELinux label of the parent
     directory. In order to preserve backwards compatibility this is
     protected by the genfs_seclabel_symlinks SELinux policy capability.

   - Optimize how we store filename transitions in the kernel, resulting
     in some significant improvements to policy load times.

   - Do a better job calculating our internal hash table sizes which
     resulted in additional policy load improvements and likely general
     SELinux performance improvements as well.

   - Remove the unused initial SIDs (labels) and improve how we handle
     initial SIDs.

   - Enable per-file labeling for the bpf filesystem.

   - Ensure that we properly label NFS v4.2 filesystems to avoid a
     temporary unlabeled condition.

   - Add some missing XFS quota command types to the SELinux quota
     access controls.

   - Fix a problem where we were not updating the seq_file position
     index correctly in selinuxfs.

   - We consolidate some duplicated code into helper functions.

   - A number of list to array conversions.

   - Update Stephen Smalley's email address in MAINTAINERS"

2853d5fafb Support for "split lock" detection: 
- Atomic operations (lock prefixed instructions) which span two cache
     lines have to acquire the global bus lock. This is at least 1k cycles
     slower than an atomic operation within a cache line and disrupts
     performance on other cores. Aside of performance disruption this is
     a unpriviledged form of DoS.
 
     Some newer CPUs have the capability to raise an #AC trap when such an
     operation is attempted. The detection is by default enabled in warning
     mode which will warn once when a user space application is caught. A
     command line option allows to disable the detection or to select fatal
     mode which will terminate offending applications with SIGBUS.

Pull scheduler updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "The main changes in this cycle are:

   - Various NUMA scheduling updates: harmonize the load-balancer and
     NUMA placement logic to not work against each other. The intended
     result is better locality, better utilization and fewer migrations.

   - Introduce Thermal Pressure tracking and optimizations, to improve
     task placement on thermally overloaded systems.

   - Implement frequency invariant scheduler accounting on (some) x86
     CPUs. This is done by observing and sampling the 'recent' CPU
     frequency average at ~tick boundaries. The CPU provides this data
     via the APERF/MPERF MSRs. This hopefully makes our capacity
     estimates more precise and keeps tasks on the same CPU better even
     if it might seem overloaded at a lower momentary frequency. (As
     usual, turbo mode is a complication that we resolve by observing
     the maximum frequency and renormalizing to it.)

   - Add asymmetric CPU capacity wakeup scan to improve capacity
     utilization on asymmetric topologies. (big.LITTLE systems)

   - PSI fixes and optimizations.

   - RT scheduling capacity awareness fixes & improvements.

   - Optimize the CONFIG_RT_GROUP_SCHED constraints code.

1ffb8d032d acpi/x86: add a kernel parameter to disable ACPI BGRT 
BGRT is for displaying seamless OEM logo from booting to login screen;
however, this mechanism does not always work well on all configurations
and the OEM logo can be displayed multiple times. This looks worse than
without BGRT enabled.

This patch adds a kernel parameter to disable BGRT in boot time. This is
easier than re-compiling a kernel with CONFIG_ACPI_BGRT disabled.

Commit 9c44bc03ff ("softlockup: allow panic on lockup") added the
softlockup_panic sysctl, but didn't add information about it to the file
Documentation/admin-guide/sysctl/kernel.rst (which in that time certainly
wasn't rst and had other name!).

This patch just adds the respective documentation and references it from
the corresponding entry in Documentation/admin-guide/kernel-parameters.txt.

This patch was strongly based on Scott Wood's commit d22881dc13
("Documentation: Better document the hardlockup_panic sysctl").

05289b90c2 sched/fair: Enable tuning of decay period 
Thermal pressure follows pelt signals which means the decay period for
thermal pressure is the default pelt decay period. Depending on SoC
characteristics and thermal activity, it might be beneficial to decay
thermal pressure slower, but still in-tune with the pelt signals.  One way
to achieve this is to provide a command line parameter to set a decay
shift parameter to an integer between 0 and 10.

8375e74f2b driver core: Add fw_devlink kernel commandline option 
fwnode_operations.add_links allows creating device links from
information provided by firmware.

fwnode_operations.add_links is currently implemented only by
OF/devicetree code and a specific case of efi. However, there's nothing
preventing ACPI or other firmware types from implementing it.

The OF implementation is currently controlled by a kernel commandline
parameter called of_devlink.

Since this feature is generic isn't limited to OF, add a generic
fw_devlink kernel commandline parameter to control this feature across
firmware types.

8171d3e0da torture: Allow disabling of boottime CPU-hotplug torture operations 
In theory, RCU-hotplug operations are supposed to work as soon as there
is more than one CPU online.  However, in practice, in normal production
there is no way to make them happen until userspace is up and running.
Besides which, on smaller systems, rcutorture doesn't start doing hotplug
operations until 30 seconds after the start of boot, which on most
systems also means the better part of 30 seconds after the end of boot.
This commit therefore provides a new torture.disable_onoff_at_boot kernel
boot parameter that suppresses CPU-hotplug torture operations until
about the time that init is spawned.

Of course, if you know of a need for boottime CPU-hotplug operations,
then you should avoid passing this argument to any of the torture tests.
You might also want to look at the splats linked to below.

58c53360b3 rcutorture: Allow boottime stall warnings to be suppressed 
In normal production, an RCU CPU stall warning at boottime is often
just as bad as at any other time.  In fact, given the desire for fast
boot, any sort of long-term stall at boot is a bad idea.  However,
heavy rcutorture testing on large hyperthreaded systems can generate
boottime RCU CPU stalls as a matter of course.  This commit therefore
provides a kernel boot parameter that suppresses reporting of boottime
RCU CPU stall warnings and similarly of rcutorture writer stalls.

b2b00ddf19 rcu: React to callback overload by aggressively seeking quiescent states 
In default configutions, RCU currently waits at least 100 milliseconds
before asking cond_resched() and/or resched_rcu() for help seeking
quiescent states to end a grace period.  But 100 milliseconds can be
one good long time during an RCU callback flood, for example, as can
happen when user processes repeatedly open and close files in a tight
loop.  These 100-millisecond gaps in successive grace periods during a
callback flood can result in excessive numbers of callbacks piling up,
unnecessarily increasing memory footprint.

This commit therefore asks cond_resched() and/or resched_rcu() for help
as early as the first FQS scan when at least one of the CPUs has more
than 20,000 callbacks queued, a number that can be changed using the new
rcutree.qovld kernel boot parameter.  An auxiliary qovld_calc variable
is used to avoid acquisition of locks that have not yet been initialized.
Early tests indicate that this reduces the RCU-callback memory footprint
during rcutorture floods by from 50% to 4x, depending on configuration.

6650cdd9a8 x86/split_lock: Enable split lock detection by kernel 
A split-lock occurs when an atomic instruction operates on data that spans
two cache lines. In order to maintain atomicity the core takes a global bus
lock.

This is typically >1000 cycles slower than an atomic operation within a
cache line. It also disrupts performance on other cores (which must wait
for the bus lock to be released before their memory operations can
complete). For real-time systems this may mean missing deadlines. For other
systems it may just be very annoying.

Some CPUs have the capability to raise an #AC trap when a split lock is
attempted.

Provide a command line option to give the user choices on how to handle
this:

split_lock_detect=
	off	- not enabled (no traps for split locks)
	warn	- warn once when an application does a
		  split lock, but allow it to continue
		  running.
	fatal	- Send SIGBUS to applications that cause split lock

On systems that support split lock detection the default is "warn". Note
that if the kernel hits a split lock in any mode other than "off" it will
OOPs.

One implementation wrinkle is that the MSR to control the split lock
detection is per-core, not per thread. This might result in some short
lived races on HT systems in "warn" mode if Linux tries to enable on one
thread while disabling on the other. Race analysis by Sean Christopherson:

  - Toggling of split-lock is only done in "warn" mode.  Worst case
    scenario of a race is that a misbehaving task will generate multiple
    #AC exceptions on the same instruction.  And this race will only occur
    if both siblings are running tasks that generate split-lock #ACs, e.g.
    a race where sibling threads are writing different values will only
    occur if CPUx is disabling split-lock after an #AC and CPUy is
    re-enabling split-lock after *its* previous task generated an #AC.
  - Transitioning between off/warn/fatal modes at runtime isn't supported
    and disabling is tracked per task, so hardware will always reach a steady
    state that matches the configured mode.  I.e. split-lock is guaranteed to
    be enabled in hardware once all _TIF_SLD threads have been scheduled out.

e9c38f9fc2 Documentation,selinux: deprecate setting checkreqprot to 1 
Deprecate setting the SELinux checkreqprot tunable to 1 via kernel
parameter or /sys/fs/selinux/checkreqprot.  Setting it to 0 is left
intact for compatibility since Android and some Linux distributions
do so for security and treat an inability to set it as a fatal error.
Eventually setting it to 0 will become a no-op and the kernel will
stop using checkreqprot's value internally altogether.

checkreqprot was originally introduced as a compatibility mechanism
for legacy userspace and the READ_IMPLIES_EXEC personality flag.
However, if set to 1, it weakens security by allowing mappings to be
made executable without authorization by policy.  The default value
for the SECURITY_SELINUX_CHECKREQPROT_VALUE config option was changed
from 1 to 0 in commit 2a35d196c1 ("selinux: change
CONFIG_SECURITY_SELINUX_CHECKREQPROT_VALUE default") and both Android
and Linux distributions began explicitly setting
/sys/fs/selinux/checkreqprot to 0 some time ago.
