This allows to use a single timer for multiple timeout requirements w/o caring about the first expiry time at the call site. - A new NMI safe accessor to clock real time for the printk timestamp work. Can be used by tracing, perf as well if required. - A large number of timer setup conversions from Kees which got collected here because either maintainers requested so or they simply got ignored. As Kees pointed out already there are a few trivial merge conflicts and some redundant commits which was unavoidable due to the size of this conversion effort. - Avoid a redundant iteration in the timer wheel softirq processing. - Provide a mechanism to treat RTC implementations depending on their hardware properties, i.e. don't inflict the write at the 0.5 seconds boundary which originates from the PC CMOS RTC to all RTCs. No functional change as drivers need to be updated separately. - The usual small updates to core code clocksource drivers.

| * dt-bindings: timer: renesas, cmt: Fix SoC-specific compatible valuesGeert Uytterhoeven2017-10-191-12/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | While the new family-specific compatible values introduced by commit 6f54cc1adcc8957f ("devicetree: bindings: R-Car Gen2 CMT0 and CMT1 bindings") use the recommended order "<vendor>,<family>-<device>", the new SoC-specific compatible values still use the old and deprecated order "<vendor>,<device>-<soc>". Switch the SoC-specific compatible values to the recommended order while there are no upstream users of these compatible values yet.

This allows to replace the convoluted nested loop allocation function in x86 with a facility which supports the recently added property of managed interrupts proper and allows to switch to a best effort vector reservation scheme, which addresses problems with vector exhaustion. - A large update to the ARM GIC-V3-ITS driver adding support for range selectors. - New interrupt controllers: - Meson and Meson8 GPIO - BCM7271 L2 - Socionext EXIU If you expected that this will stop at some point, I have to disappoint you. There are new ones posted already. Sigh! - STM32 interrupt controller support for new platforms. - A pile of fixes, cleanups and updates to the MIPS GIC driver - The usual small fixes, cleanups and updates all over the place.

But we have platforms exhibiting behaviour (1), resulting in two sub-cases: (a) The GIC is occupying 8kB, as required by the GICv2 architecture (b) It is actually spread 128kB, and this is likely to be a version of (2) This patch tries to work around both (a) and (b) by poking at the outside of the described memory region, and try to work out what is actually there. This is of course unsafe, and should only be enabled if there is no way to otherwise fix the DT provided by the firmware (we provide a "irqchip.gicv2_force_probe" option to that effect). Note that for the time being, we restrict ourselves to GICv2 implementations provided by ARM, since there I have no knowledge of an alternative implementations. This could be relaxed if such an implementation comes to light on a broken platform. Reviewed-by: Christoffer Dall <cdall@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Marc Zyngier <marc.zyngier@arm.com>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The ITSes on the Hip07 (as present in the Huawei D05) are broken when it comes to addressing the redistributors, and need to be explicitely told to address the VLPI page instead of the redistributor base address.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The Socionext Synquacer SoC's implementation of GICv3 has a so-called 'pre-ITS', which maps 32-bit writes targeted at a separate window of size '4 << device_id_bits' onto writes to GITS_TRANSLATER with device ID taken from bits [device_id_bits + 1:2] of the window offset. Writes that target GITS_TRANSLATER directly are reported as originating from device ID #0. So add a workaround for this. Given that this breaks isolation, clear the IRQ_DOMAIN_FLAG_MSI_REMAP flag as well.

For KASAN it means we cannot have different KASAN_SHADOW_OFFSET for different paging modes: the constant is passed to gcc to generate code and cannot be changed at runtime. This patch changes KASAN code to use 0xdffffc0000000000 as shadow offset for both 4- and 5-level paging. For 5-level paging it means that shadow memory region is not aligned to PGD boundary anymore and we have to handle unaligned parts of the region properly. In addition, we have to exclude paravirt code from KASAN instrumentation as we now use set_pgd() before KASAN is fully ready.

Currently cross-release performs unwind on every acquisition, but that is very expensive. This patch makes unwind optional and disables it by default and only records acquire_ip. Full stack traces are sometimes required for full analysis, in which case a boot paramter, crossrelease_fullstack, can be specified. On my qemu Ubuntu machine (x86_64, 4 cores, 512M), the regression was fixed. We measure boot times with 'perf stat --null --repeat 10 $QEMU', where $QEMU launches a kernel with init=/bin/true: 1. No lockdep enabled: Performance counter stats for 'qemu_booting_time.sh bzImage' (10 runs): 2.756558155 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.09% ) 2. Lockdep enabled: Performance counter stats for 'qemu_booting_time.sh bzImage' (10 runs): 2.968710420 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.12% ) 3. Lockdep enabled + cross-release enabled: Performance counter stats for 'qemu_booting_time.sh bzImage' (10 runs): 3.153839636 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.31% ) 4. Lockdep enabled + cross-release enabled + this patch applied: Performance counter stats for 'qemu_booting_time.sh bzImage' (10 runs): 2.963669551 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.11% ) I.e. lockdep cross-release performance is now indistinguishable from vanilla lockdep.

So far, there's been no reason to change most existing uses of ACCESS_ONCE(), as these aren't currently harmful. However, for some features it is necessary to instrument reads and writes separately, which is not possible with ACCESS_ONCE(). This distinction is critical to correct operation. It's possible to transform the bulk of kernel code using the Coccinelle script below. However, this doesn't handle documentation, leaving references to ACCESS_ONCE() instances which have been removed. As a preparatory step, this patch converts the filesystems documentation to use {READ,WRITE}_ONCE() consistently. ---- virtual patch @ depends on patch @ expression E1, E2; @@ - ACCESS_ONCE(E1) = E2 + WRITE_ONCE(E1, E2) @ depends on patch @ expression E; @@ - ACCESS_ONCE(E) + READ_ONCE(E) ---- Signed-off-by: Paul E.

This is partly because it's a pain to type, but also because using READ_ONCE() instead has worked correctly on all architectures apart from Alpha, which is a fully supported but somewhat niche architecture these days. Now that READ_ONCE() has been upgraded to contain an implicit smp_read_barrier_depends() and the few callers of lockless_dereference() have been converted, we can remove lockless_dereference() altogether.
