There is somehow no description of %c corename format specifier for
/proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern. The %c corename format specifier is
used by user-space application such as systemd-coredump, so it should
be documented.
To find where %c is handled in the kernel source code, look at
function format_corename() in fs/coredump.c.

As the bootconfig is appended to the initrd it is not as easy to modify as
the kernel command line. If there's some issue with the kernel, and the
developer wants to boot a pristine kernel, it should not be needed to modify
the initrd to remove the bootconfig for a single boot.
As bootconfig is silently added (if the admin does not know where to look
they may not know it's being loaded). It should be explicitly added to the
kernel cmdline. The loading of the bootconfig is only done if "bootconfig"
is on the kernel command line. This will let admins know that the kernel
command line is extended.
Note, after adding printk()s for when the size is too great or the checksum
is wrong, exposed that the current method always looked for the boot config,
and if this size and checksum matched, it would parse it (as if either is
wrong a printk has been added to show this). It's better to only check this
if the boot config is asked to be looked for.

Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@intel.com>
There is some information in Documentation/power/interface.rst that
is still missing from Documentation/admin-guide/pm/sleep-states.rst
and really should be present in there, so update the latter by
adding that information to it and delete the former (as it becomes
redundant after that and it is somewhat outdated).
While at it, clean up some assorted pieces of sleep-states.rst a bit.
Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@intel.com>
In certain system configurations it may not be desirable to use some
C-states assumed to be available by intel_idle and the driver needs
to be prevented from using them even before the cpuidle sysfs
interface becomes accessible to user space. Currently, the only way
to achieve that is by setting the 'max_cstate' module parameter to a
value lower than the index of the shallowest of the C-states in
question, but that may be overly intrusive, because it effectively
makes all of the idle states deeper than the 'max_cstate' one go
away (and the C-state to avoid may be in the middle of the range
normally regarded as available).
To allow that limitation to be overcome, introduce a new module
parameter called 'states_off' to represent a list of idle states to
be disabled by default in the form of a bitmask and update the
documentation to cover it.
Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@intel.com>
For diagnostics, it is generally useful to be able to make intel_idle
take the system's ACPI tables into consideration even if that is not
required for the processor model in there, so introduce a new module
parameter, 'use_acpi', to make that happen and update the documentation
to cover it.
While at it, fix the 'no_acpi' module parameter name in the
documentation.

Here is the big USB and Thunderbolt and PHY driver updates for 5.6-rc1.
With the advent of USB4, "Thunderbolt" has really become USB4, so the
renaming of the Kconfig option and starting to share subsystem code has
begun, hence both subsystems coming in through the same tree here.
PHY driver updates also touched USB drivers, so that is coming in
through here as well.
Major stuff included in here are:
- USB 4 initial support added (i.e. Thunderbolt)
- musb driver updates
- USB gadget driver updates
- PHY driver updates
- USB PHY driver updates
- lots of USB serial stuff fixed up
- USB typec updates
- USB-IP fixes
- lots of other smaller USB driver updates
All of these have been in linux-next for a while now (the usb-serial
tree is already tested in linux-next on its own before merged into
here), with no reported issues.

Pull EFI updates from Ingo Molnar:
"The main changes in this cycle were:
- Cleanup of the GOP [graphics output] handling code in the EFI stub
- Complete refactoring of the mixed mode handling in the x86 EFI stub
- Overhaul of the x86 EFI boot/runtime code
- Increase robustness for mixed mode code
- Add the ability to disable DMA at the root port level in the EFI
stub
- Get rid of RWX mappings in the EFI memory map and page tables,
where possible
- Move the support code for the old EFI memory mapping style into its
only user, the SGI UV1+ support code.
- plus misc fixes, updates, smaller cleanups.
... and due to interactions with the RWX changes, another round of PAT
cleanups make a guest appearance via the EFI tree - with no side
effects intended"

- A mechanism to shield isolated tasks from managed interrupts:
The affinity of managed interrupts is completely controlled by the
kernel and user space has no influence on them. The reason is that
the automatically assigned affinity correlates to the multi-queue
CPU handling of block devices.
If the generated affinity mask spaws both housekeeping and isolated CPUs
the interrupt could be routed to an isolated CPU which would then be
disturbed by I/O submitted by a housekeeping CPU.
The new mechamism ensures that as long as one housekeeping CPU is online
in the assigned affinity mask the interrupt is routed to a housekeeping
CPU.
If there is no online housekeeping CPU in the affinity mask, then the
interrupt is routed to an isolated CPU to keep the device queue intact,
but unless the isolated CPU submits I/O by itself these interrupts are
not raised.
- A small addon to the device tree irqdomain core code to avoid
duplication in irq chip drivers
- Conversion of the SiFive PLIC to hierarchical domains
- The usual pile of new irq chip drivers: SiFive GPIO, Aspeed SCI, NXP
INTMUX, Meson A1 GPIO
- The first cut of support for the new ARM GICv4.1
- The usual pile of fixes and improvements in core and driver code

Merge tag 'selinux-pr-20200127' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/pcmoore/selinux
Pull SELinux update from Paul Moore:
"This is one of the bigger SELinux pull requests in recent years with
28 patches. Everything is passing our test suite and the highlights
are below:
- Mark CONFIG_SECURITY_SELINUX_DISABLE as deprecated. We're some time
away from actually attempting to remove this in the kernel, but the
only distro we know that still uses it (Fedora) is working on
moving away from this so we want to at least let people know we are
planning to remove it.
- Reorder the SELinux hooks to help prevent bad things when SELinux
is disabled at runtime. The proper fix is to remove the
CONFIG_SECURITY_SELINUX_DISABLE functionality (see above) and just
take care of it at boot time (e.g. "selinux=0").
- Add SELinux controls for the kernel lockdown functionality,
introducing a new SELinux class/permissions: "lockdown { integrity
confidentiality }".
- Add a SELinux control for move_mount(2) that reuses the "file {
mounton }" permission.
- Improvements to the SELinux security label data store lookup
functions to speed up translations between our internal label
representations and the visible string labels (both directions).
- Revisit a previous fix related to SELinux inode auditing and
permission caching and do it correctly this time.
- Fix the SELinux access decision cache to cleanup properly on error.
In some extreme cases this could limit the cache size and result in
a decrease in performance.
- Enable SELinux per-file labeling for binderfs.
- The SELinux initialized and disabled flags were wrapped with
accessors to ensure they are accessed correctly.
- Mark several key SELinux structures with __randomize_layout.
- Changes to the LSM build configuration to only build
security/lsm_audit.c when needed.
- Changes to the SELinux build configuration to only build the IB
object cache when CONFIG_SECURITY_INFINIBAND is enabled.
- Move a number of single-caller functions into their callers.
- Documentation fixes (/selinux -> /sys/fs/selinux).
- A handful of cleanup patches that aren't worth mentioning on their
own, the individual descriptions have plenty of detail"

Now that the kfree_rcu() special-casing has been removed from tree RCU,
this commit removes kfree_call_rcu_nobatch() since it is no longer needed.
Signed-off-by: Joel Fernandes (Google) <joel@joelfernandes.org>
Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@kernel.org>
This test runs kfree_rcu() in a loop to measure performance of the new
kfree_rcu() batching functionality.
The following table shows results when booting with arguments:
rcuperf.kfree_loops=20000 rcuperf.kfree_alloc_num=8000
rcuperf.kfree_rcu_test=1 rcuperf.kfree_no_batch=X
rcuperf.kfree_no_batch=X # Grace Periods Test Duration (s)
X=1 (old behavior) 9133 11.5
X=0 (new behavior) 1732 12.5
On a 16 CPU system with the above boot parameters, we see that the total
number of grace periods that elapse during the test drops from 9133 when
not batching to 1732 when batching (a 5X improvement). The kfree_rcu()
flood itself slows down a bit when batching, though, as shown.
Note that the active memory consumption during the kfree_rcu() flood
does increase to around 200-250MB due to the batching (from around 50MB
without batching). However, this memory consumption is relatively
constant. In other words, the system is able to keep up with the
kfree_rcu() load. The memory consumption comes down considerably if
KFREE_DRAIN_JIFFIES is increased from HZ/50 to HZ/80. A later patch will
reduce memory consumption further by using multiple lists.
Also, when running the test, please disable CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT and
CONFIG_PROVE_RCU for realistic comparisons with/without batching.

Merge changes updating the ACPI processor driver in order to export
acpi_processor_evaluate_cst() to the code outside of it and adding
ACPI support to the intel_idle driver based on that.
* intel_idle+acpi:
Documentation: admin-guide: PM: Add intel_idle document
intel_idle: Use ACPI _CST on server systems
intel_idle: Add module parameter to prevent ACPI _CST from being used
intel_idle: Allow ACPI _CST to be used for selected known processors
cpuidle: Allow idle states to be disabled by default
intel_idle: Use ACPI _CST for processor models without C-state tables
intel_idle: Refactor intel_idle_cpuidle_driver_init()
ACPI: processor: Export acpi_processor_evaluate_cst()
ACPI: processor: Make ACPI_PROCESSOR_CSTATE depend on ACPI_PROCESSOR
ACPI: processor: Clean up acpi_processor_evaluate_cst()
ACPI: processor: Introduce acpi_processor_evaluate_cst()
ACPI: processor: Export function to claim _CST control
The affinity of managed interrupts is completely handled in the kernel and
cannot be changed via the /proc/irq/* interfaces from user space. As the
kernel tries to spread out interrupts evenly accross CPUs on x86 to prevent
vector exhaustion, it can happen that a managed interrupt whose affinity
mask contains both isolated and housekeeping CPUs is routed to an isolated
CPU. As a consequence IO submitted on a housekeeping CPU causes interrupts
on the isolated CPU.
Add a new sub-parameter 'managed_irq' for 'isolcpus' and the corresponding
logic in the interrupt affinity selection code.
The subparameter indicates to the interrupt affinity selection logic that
it should try to avoid the above scenario.
This isolation is best effort and only effective if the automatically
assigned interrupt mask of a device queue contains isolated and
housekeeping CPUs. If housekeeping CPUs are online then such interrupts are
directed to the housekeeping CPU so that IO submitted on the housekeeping
CPU cannot disturb the isolated CPU.
If a queue's affinity mask contains only isolated CPUs then this parameter
has no effect on the interrupt routing decision, though interrupts are only
happening when tasks running on those isolated CPUs submit IO. IO submitted
on housekeeping CPUs has no influence on those queues.
If the affinity mask contains both housekeeping and isolated CPUs, but none
of the contained housekeeping CPUs is online, then the interrupt is also
routed to an isolated CPU. Interrupts are only delivered when one of the
isolated CPUs in the affinity mask submits IO. If one of the contained
housekeeping CPUs comes online, the CPU hotplug logic migrates the
interrupt automatically back to the upcoming housekeeping CPU. Depending on
the type of interrupt controller, this can require that at least one
interrupt is delivered to the isolated CPU in order to complete the
migration.
[ tglx: Removed unused parameter, added and edited comments/documentation
and rephrased the changelog so it contains more details. ]

We carry a quirk in the x86 EFI code to switch back to an older
method of mapping the EFI runtime services memory regions, because
it was deemed risky at the time to implement a new method without
providing a fallback to the old method in case problems arose.
Such problems did arise, but they appear to be limited to SGI UV1
machines, and so these are the only ones for which the fallback gets
enabled automatically (via a DMI quirk). The fallback can be enabled
manually as well, by passing efi=old_map, but there is very little
evidence that suggests that this is something that is being relied
upon in the field.
Given that UV1 support is not enabled by default by the distros
(Ubuntu, Fedora), there is no point in carrying this fallback code
all the time if there are no other users. So let's move it into the
UV support code, and document that efi=old_map now requires this
support code to be enabled.
Note that efi=old_map has been used in the past on other SGI UV
machines to work around kernel regressions in production, so we
keep the option to enable it by hand, but only if the kernel was
built with UV support.

This patch converts nfs.txt to RST. It also moves it to admin-guide.
The reason for moving it is because this document contains information
useful for system administrators, as noted on the following paragraph:
'The purpose of this document is to provide information on some of the
special features of the NFS client that can be configured by system
administrators'.

Add an admin-guide document for the intel_idle driver to describe
how it works: how it enumerates idle states, what happens during the
initialization of it, how it can be controlled via the kernel command
line and so on.
