Add a "printk.devkmsg" kernel command line parameter which controls how
userspace writes into /dev/kmsg.  It has three options:

 * ratelimit - ratelimit logging from userspace.
 * on  - unlimited logging from userspace
 * off - logging from userspace gets ignored

The default setting is to ratelimit the messages written to it.

This changes the kernel default setting of "on" to "ratelimit" and we do
that because we want to keep userspace spamming /dev/kmsg to sane
levels.  This is especially moot when a small kernel log buffer wraps
around and messages get lost.  So the ratelimiting setting should be a
sane setting where kernel messages should have a bit higher chance of
survival from all the spamming.

It additionally does not limit logging to /dev/kmsg while the system is
booting if we haven't disabled it on the command line.

Furthermore, we can control the logging from a lower priority sysctl
interface - kernel.printk_devkmsg.

That interface will succeed only if printk.devkmsg *hasn't* been
supplied on the command line.  If it has, then printk.devkmsg is a
one-time setting which remains for the duration of the system lifetime.
This "locking" of the setting is to prevent userspace from changing the
logging on us through sysctl(2).

This patch is based on previous patches from Linus and Steven.

Make it possible to protect all pages holding image data during
hibernate image restoration by setting them read-only (so as to
catch attempts to write to those pages after image data have been
stored in them).

This adds overhead to image restoration code (it may cause large
page mappings to be split as a result of page flags changes) and
the errors it protects against should never happen in theory, so
the feature is only active after passing hibernate=protect_image
to the command line of the restore kernel.

Also it only is built if CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA is set.

This patch allows SSDTs to be loaded from EFI variables. It works by
specifying the EFI variable name containing the SSDT to be loaded. All
variables with the same name (regardless of the vendor GUID) will be
loaded.

Note that we can't use acpi_install_table and we must rely on the
dynamic ACPI table loading and bus re-scanning mechanisms. That is
because I2C/SPI controllers are initialized earlier then the EFI
subsystems and all I2C/SPI ACPI devices are enumerated when the
I2C/SPI controllers are initialized.

ACPI/APEI is designed to verifiy/report H/W errors, like Corrected
Error(CE) and Uncorrected Error(UC). It contains four tables: HEST,
ERST, EINJ and BERT. The first three tables have been merged for
a long time, but because of lacking BIOS support for BERT, the
support for BERT is pending until now. Recently on ARM 64 platform
it is has been supported. So here we come.

Under normal circumstances, when a hardware error occurs, kernel will
be notified via NMI, MCE or some other method, then kernel will
process the error condition, report it, and recover it if possible.
But sometime, the situation is so bad, so that firmware may choose to
reset directly without notifying Linux kernel.

Linux kernel can use the Boot Error Record Table (BERT) to get the
un-notified hardware errors that occurred in a previous boot. In this
patch, the error information is reported via printk.

For more information about BERT, please refer to ACPI Specification
version 6.0, section 18.3.1:
  http://www.uefi.org/sites/default/files/resources/ACPI_6.0.pdf

The following log is a BERT record after system reboot because of hitting
a fatal memory error:
BERT: Error records from previous boot:
[Hardware Error]: It has been corrected by h/w and requires no further action
[Hardware Error]: event severity: corrected

Disabling the eventstream can be useful for both remotely debugging a
deployed production system and development of code using WFE-based
polling loops. Whilst this can currently be controlled via a Kconfig
option (CONFIG_ARM_ARCH_TIMER_EVTSTREAM), it's often desirable to toggle
the feature on the command line, so this patch adds a new command-line
option ("clocksource.arm_arch_timer.evtstrm") to do just that. The
default behaviour is determined based on CONFIG_ARM_ARCH_TIMER_EVTSTREAM.

Remove hardware sampler support from oprofile module.

The oprofile user space utilty has been switched to use the kernel
perf interface, for which we also provide hardware sampling support.

In addition the hardware sampling support is also slightly broken: it
supports only 16 bits for the pid and therefore would generate wrong
results on machines which have a pid >64k.

Also the pt_regs structure which was passed to oprofile common code
cannot necessarily be used to generate sane backtraces, since the
task(s) in question may run while the samples are fed to oprofile.
So the result would be more or less random.

However given that the only user space tools switched to the perf
interface already four years ago the hardware sampler code seems to be
unused code, and therefore it should be reasonable to remove it.

The timer based oprofile support continues to work.

Use ACPI _PPC notification to limit max P state driver will request.
ACPI _PPC change notification is sent by BIOS to limit max P state
in several cases:
- Reduce impact of platform thermal condition
- When Config TDP feature is used, a changed _PPC is sent to
follow TDP change
- Remote node managers in server want to control platform power
via baseboard management controller (BMC)

This change registers with ACPI processor performance lib so that
_PPC changes are notified to cpufreq core, which in turns will
result in call to .setpolicy() callback. Also the way _PSS
table identifies a turbo frequency is not compatible to max turbo
frequency in intel_pstate, so the very first entry in _PSS needs
to be adjusted.

This feature can be turned on by using kernel parameters:

If both ACPI and DT platform descriptions are available, and the
kernel was configured at build time to support both flavours, the
default policy is to prefer DT over ACPI, and preferring ACPI over
DT while still allowing DT as a fallback is not possible.

Since some enterprise features (such as RAS) depend on ACPI, it may
be desirable for, e.g., distro installers to prefer ACPI boot but
fall back to DT rather than failing completely if no ACPI tables are
available.

So introduce the 'acpi=on' kernel command line parameter for arm64,
which signifies that ACPI should be used if available, and DT should
only be used as a fallback.

For several years, the common practice has been to boot UVs with the
"nobau" parameter on the command line, to disable the BAU.  We've
decided that it makes more sense to just disable the BAU by default in
the kernel, and provide the option to turn it on, if desired.

For now, having the on/off switch doesn't buy us any more than just
reversing the logic would, but we're working towards having the BAU
enabled by default on UV4.  When those changes are in place, having the
on/off switch will make more sense than an enable flag, since the
default behavior will be different depending on the system version.

I've also added a bit of documentation for the new parameter to

uses apart from that though.  Clearing of the pages on free provides an
increase in security as it helps to limit the risk of information leaks.
Allow page poisoning to be enabled as a separate option independent of
kernel_map pages since the two features do separate work.  Because of
how hiberanation is implemented, the checks on alloc cannot occur if

Most newer Rockchip SoCs provide the possibility to use a usb-phy
as passthrough for the debug uart (uart2), making it possible to
for example get console output without needing to open the device.

This patch adds an early_initcall to enable this functionality
conditionally via the commandline and also disables the corresponding
usb controller in the devicetree.

Currently only data for the rk3288 is provided, but at least the
rk3188 and arm64 rk3368 also provide this functionality and will be
enabled later.

On a spliced usb cable the signals are tx on white wire(D+) and
rx on green wire(D-).

The one caveat is that currently the reconfiguration of the phy
happens as early_initcall, as the code depends on the unflattened
devicetree being available. Everything is fine if only a regular
console is active as the console-replay will happen after the
reconfiguation. But with earlycon active output up to smp-init
currently will get lost.

The phy is an optional property for the connected dwc2 controller,
so we still provide the phy device but fail all phy-ops with -EBUSY
to make sure the dwc2 does not try to transmit anything on the
repurposed phy.

This adds a chicken bit to turn off INVPCID in case something goes
wrong.  It's an early_param() because we do TLB flushes before we
parse __setup() parameters.

schedstats is very useful during debugging and performance tuning but it
incurs overhead to calculate the stats. As such, even though it can be
disabled at build time, it is often enabled as the information is useful.

This patch adds a kernel command-line and sysctl tunable to enable or
disable schedstats on demand (when it's built in). It is disabled
by default as someone who knows they need it can also learn to enable
it when necessary.

The benefits are dependent on how scheduler-intensive the workload is.
If it is then the patch reduces the number of cycles spent calculating
the stats with a small benefit from reducing the cache footprint of the
scheduler.

These measurements were taken from a 48-core 2-socket
machine with Xeon(R) E5-2670 v3 cpus although they were also tested on a
single socket machine 8-core machine with Intel i7-3770 processors.

the TCP_RR tests. The gains on the 8-core machine were very similar.

In constract, this shows a relatively steady 2-3% gain at higher thread
counts. Due to the nature of the patch and the type of workload, it's
not a surprise that the result will depend on the CPU used.

it's close to the noise. The UMA machine did not show anything particularly
different

Small improvement and similar gains were seen on the UMA machine.

The gain is small but it stands to reason that doing less work in the
scheduler is a good thing. The downside is that the lack of schedstats and
tracepoints may be surprising to experts doing performance analysis until
they find the existence of the schedstats= parameter or schedstats sysctl.
It will be automatically activated for latencytop and sleep profiling to
alleviate the problem. For tracepoints, there is a simple warning as it's
not safe to activate schedstats in the context when it's known the tracepoint
may be wanted but is unavailable.

If we isolate CPUs, then we don't want random device interrupts on them. Even
w/o the user space irq balancer enabled we can end up with irqs on non boot
cpus and chasing newly requested interrupts is a tedious task.

Allow to restrict the default irq affinity mask.

This patch provides a way of working around a slight regression
introduced by commit 84638335 ("mm: rework virtual memory
accounting").

Before that commit RLIMIT_DATA have control only over size of the brk
region.  But that change have caused problems with all existing versions
of valgrind, because it set RLIMIT_DATA to zero.

This patch fixes rlimit check (limit actually in bytes, not pages) and
by default turns it into warning which prints at first VmData misuse:

  "mmap: top (795): VmData 516096 exceed data ulimit 512000.  Will be forbidden soon."

Behavior is controlled by boot param ignore_rlimit_data=y/n and by sysfs
/sys/module/kernel/parameters/ignore_rlimit_data.  For now it set to "y".

Move them to a separate header and have the following
dependency:

  x86/cpufeatures.h <- x86/processor.h <- x86/cpufeature.h

This makes it easier to use the header in asm code and not
include the whole cpufeature.h and add guards for asm.

Kmem accounting might incur overhead that some users can't put up with.
Besides, the implementation is still considered unstable.  So let's
provide a way to disable it for those users who aren't happy with it.

To disable kmem accounting for cgroup2, pass cgroup.memory=nokmem at
boot time.
