All uses of the current_fs_time() function have been replaced by other
time interfaces.
And, its use cases can be fulfilled by current_time() or ktime_get_*
variants.

Laurent Dufour has noticed that hwpoinsoned pages are kept charged. In
his particular case he has hit a bad_page("page still charged to
cgroup") when onlining a hwpoison page. While this looks like something
that shouldn't happen in the first place because onlining hwpages and
returning them to the page allocator makes only little sense it shows a
real problem.
hwpoison pages do not get freed usually so we do not uncharge them (at
least not since commit 0a31bc97c8 ("mm: memcontrol: rewrite uncharge
API")). Each charge pins memcg (since e8ea14cc6e ("mm: memcontrol:
take a css reference for each charged page")) as well and so the
mem_cgroup and the associated state will never go away. Fix this leak
by forcibly uncharging a LRU hwpoisoned page in delete_from_lru_cache().
We also have to tweak uncharge_list because it cannot rely on zero ref
count for these pages.
[akpm@linux-foundation.org: coding-style fixes]
Fixes: 0a31bc97c8 ("mm: memcontrol: rewrite uncharge API")

This contains a one-liner change that has a significant impact:
disabling the build of OSS. It's been unmaintained for long time,
and we'd like to drop the stuff. Finally, as the first step, stop
the build. Let's see whether it works without much complaints.
Other than that, there are two small fixes for HD-audio.

Pull thermal management updates from Zhang Rui:
- Fix a problem where orderly_shutdown() is called for multiple times
due to multiple critical overheating events raised in a short period
by platform thermal driver. (Keerthy)
- Introduce a backup thermal shutdown mechanism, which invokes
kernel_power_off()/emergency_restart() directly, after
orderly_shutdown() being issued for certain amount of time(specified
via Kconfig). This is useful in certain conditions that userspace may
be unable to power off the system in a clean manner and leaves the
system in a critical state, like in the middle of driver probing
phase. (Keerthy)
- Introduce a new interface in thermal devfreq_cooling code so that the
driver can provide more precise data regarding actual power to the
thermal governor every time the power budget is calculated. (Lukasz
Luba)
- Introduce BCM 2835 soc thermal driver and northstar thermal driver,
within a new sub-folder. (Rafał Miłecki)
- Introduce DA9062/61 thermal driver. (Steve Twiss)
- Remove non-DT booting on TI-SoC driver. Also add support to fetching

"Things were a lot more calm than previously expected. It's primarily
fixes in various areas, with most of the new functionality centering
around TCMU backend driver work that Xiubo Li has been driving.

- Make T10-PI verify configurable for emulated (FILEIO + RD) backends
(Dmitry Monakhov)
- Allow target-core/TCMU pass-through to use in-kernel SPC-PR logic
(Bryant Ly + MNC)
- Add TCMU support for growing ring buffer size (Xiubo Li + MNC)
- Add TCMU support for global block data pool (Xiubo Li + MNC)
and on the bug-fix side:
- Fix COMPARE_AND_WRITE non GOOD status handling for READ phase
failures (Gary Guo + nab)
- Fix iscsi-target hang with explicitly changing per NodeACL
CmdSN number depth with concurrent login driven session
reinstatement. (Gary Guo + nab)
- Fix ibmvscsis fabric driver ABORT task handling (Bryant Ly)
- Fix target-core/FILEIO zero length handling (Bart Van Assche)
Also, there was an OOPs introduced with the WRITE_VERIFY changes that
I ended up reverting at the last minute, because as not unusual Bart
and I could not agree on the fix in time for -rc1. Since it's specific
to a conformance test, it's been reverted for now.
There is a separate patch in the queue to address the underlying
control CDB write overflow regression in >= v4.3 separate from the

bit more robust - it should be impossible to get opened files (even
O_PATH ones) for referral points in the first place, so the existing

cheap.

OSS drivers are left as badly unmaintained, and now we're facing a
problem to clean up the hackish set_fs() usage in their codes. Since
most of drivers have been covered by ALSA, and the others are dead old
and inactive, let's leave them RIP.
This patch is the first step: disable the build of OSS drivers.
We'll eventually drop the whole codes and clean up later.
Note that sound/oss/dmasound is still kept, since it's a completely
different implementation of OSS, and it doesn't suffer from set_fs()
hack. Moreover, the build of ALSA is disabled on M68K by some reason,
thus disabling it shall result in a regression. This one will be
disabled / removed once when we add the support in ALSA side.

Add a new Kconfig option to enable/disable the extra warnings
from the vblank evade code. For now we'll keep the warning
about an actually missed vblank always enabled as that can have
an actual user visible impact. But if we miss the deadline
othrwise there's no real need to bother the user with that.
We'll want these warnings enabled during development however
so that we can catch regressions.
Based on the reports it looks like this is still very easy
to hit on SKL, so we have more work ahead of us to optimize
the crtiical section further.

Quite a few patches, but not much code changed:
- Fixes regression from atomic when only the source rect of a plane
changes (ie. xrandr --right-of)
- Fixes another issue where atomic changed behaviour underneath us,
potentially causing laggy cursor position updates
- Fixes for a bunch of races in thermal code, which lead to random
lockups for a lot of users

The idea here was to avoid having to "manually" program the HW if there's
a new earliest alarm. This was lazy and bad, as it leads to loads of fun
races between inter-related callers (ie. therm).
Turns out, it's not so difficult after all. Go figure ;)

At least therm/fantog "attempts" to work around this issue, which could

Fix it properly by not updating the timestamp without the lock held, or
trying to add an already pending alarm to the pending alarm list....

When booted as pv-guest the p2m list presented by the Xen is already
mapped to virtual addresses. In dom0 case the hypervisor might make use
of 2M- or 1G-pages for this mapping. Unfortunately while being properly
aligned in virtual and machine address space, those pages might not be
aligned properly in guest physical address space.
So when trying to obtain the guest physical address of such a page
pud_pfn() and pmd_pfn() must be avoided as those will mask away guest
physical address bits not being zero in this special case.

When running as Xen pv guest X86_BUG_SYSRET_SS_ATTRS must not be set
on AMD cpus.
This bug/feature bit is kind of special as it will be used very early
when switching threads. Setting the bit and clearing it a little bit
later leaves a critical window where things can go wrong. This time
window has enlarged a little bit by using setup_clear_cpu_cap() instead
of the hypervisor's set_cpu_features callback. It seems this larger
window now makes it rather easy to hit the problem.
The proper solution is to never set the bit in case of Xen.

When CONFIG_ARM_MODULE_PLTS is enabled, the first allocation using the
module space fails, because the module is too big, and then the module
allocation is attempted from vmalloc space. Silence the first allocation
failure in that case by setting __GFP_NOWARN.

If the caller has set __GFP_NOWARN don't print the following message:
vmap allocation for size 15736832 failed: use vmalloc=<size> to increase
size.
This can happen with the ARM/Linux or ARM64/Linux module loader built
with CONFIG_ARM{,64}_MODULE_PLTS=y which does a first attempt at loading
a large module from module space, then falls back to vmalloc space.

As of commits d8f347ba35cf ("nios2: enable earlycon support"),
0dcc0542a0 ("serial: altera_jtaguart: add earlycon support") and
4d9d7d896d ("serial: altera_uart: add earlycon support"), the nios2
architecture and the altera_uart/altera_jtaguart drivers support
earlycon. Thus, the custom early console implementation for nios2 is no
longer necessary to get early boot messages. Remove it and rely fully on
earlycon support.

This reverts commit 0e2eb7d12e
Author: Bart Van Assche <bart.vanassche@sandisk.com>
Date: Thu Mar 30 10:12:39 2017 -0700
target: Fix VERIFY and WRITE VERIFY command parsing
This patch broke existing behaviour for WRITE_VERIFY because
it dropped the original SCF_SCSI_DATA_CDB assignment for
bytchk = 0 so target_cmd_size_check() no longer rejected
this case, allowing an overflow case to trigger an OOPs
in iscsi-target.
Since the short term and long term fixes are still being
discussed, revert it for now since it's late in the merge
window and try again in v4.13-rc1.

Improvement of headers_install by Nicolas Dichtel.
It has been long since the introduction of uapi directories,
but the de-coupling of exported headers has not been completed.
Headers listed in header-y are exported whether they exist in
uapi directories or not. His work fixes this inconsistency.
All (and only) headers under uapi directories are now exported.
The asm-generic wrappers are still exceptions, but this is a big
step forward.

Merge tag 'hwparam-20170420' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dhowells/linux-fs
Pull hw lockdown support from David Howells:
"Annotation of module parameters that configure hardware resources
including ioports, iomem addresses, irq lines and dma channels.
This allows a future patch to prohibit the use of such module
parameters to prevent that hardware from being abused to gain access
to the running kernel image as part of locking the kernel down under
UEFI secure boot conditions.
Annotations are made by changing:
module_param(n, t, p)
module_param_named(n, v, t, p)
module_param_array(n, t, m, p)
to:
module_param_hw(n, t, hwtype, p)
module_param_hw_named(n, v, t, hwtype, p)
module_param_hw_array(n, t, hwtype, m, p)
where the module parameter refers to a hardware setting
hwtype specifies the type of the resource being configured. This can
be one of:
ioport Module parameter configures an I/O port
iomem Module parameter configures an I/O mem address
ioport_or_iomem Module parameter could be either (runtime set)
irq Module parameter configures an I/O port
dma Module parameter configures a DMA channel
dma_addr Module parameter configures a DMA buffer address
other Module parameter configures some other value
Note that the hwtype is compile checked, but not currently stored (the
lockdown code probably won't require it). It is, however, there for
future use.
A bonus is that the hwtype can also be used for grepping.
The intention is for the kernel to ignore or reject attempts to set
annotated module parameters if lockdown is enabled. This applies to
options passed on the boot command line, passed to insmod/modprobe or
direct twiddling in /sys/module/ parameter files.
The module initialisation then needs to handle the parameter not being
set, by (1) giving an error, (2) probing for a value or (3) using a
reasonable default.
What I can't do is just reject a module out of hand because it may
take a hardware setting in the module parameters. Some important
modules, some ipmi stuff for instance, both probe for hardware and
allow hardware to be manually specified; if the driver is aborts with
any error, you don't get any ipmi hardware.
Further, trying to do this entirely in the module initialisation code
doesn't protect against sysfs twiddling.
[!] Note that in and of itself, this series of patches should have no
effect on the the size of the kernel or code execution - that is
left to a patch in the next series to effect. It does mark
annotated kernel parameters with a KERNEL_PARAM_FL_HWPARAM flag in
an already existing field"
