Pull 'objtool' stack frame validation from Ingo Molnar:
 "This tree adds a new kernel build-time object file validation feature
  (ONFIG_STACK_VALIDATION=y): kernel stack frame correctness validation.
  It was written by and is maintained by Josh Poimboeuf.

  The motivation: there's a category of hard to find kernel bugs, most
  of them in assembly code (but also occasionally in C code), that
  degrades the quality of kernel stack dumps/backtraces.  These bugs are
  hard to detect at the source code level.  Such bugs result in
  incorrect/incomplete backtraces most of time - but can also in some
  rare cases result in crashes or other undefined behavior.

  The build time correctness checking is done via the new 'objtool'
  user-space utility that was written for this purpose and which is
  hosted in the kernel repository in tools/objtool/.  The tool's (very
  simple) UI and source code design is shaped after Git and perf and
  shares quite a bit of infrastructure with tools/perf (which tooling
  infrastructure sharing effort got merged via perf and is already
  upstream).  Objtool follows the well-known kernel coding style.

  Objtool does not try to check .c or .S files, it instead analyzes the
  resulting .o generated machine code from first principles: it decodes
  the instruction stream and interprets it.  (Right now objtool supports
  the x86-64 architecture.)

  From tools/objtool/Documentation/stack-validation.txt:

   "The kernel CONFIG_STACK_VALIDATION option enables a host tool named
    objtool which runs at compile time.  It has a "check" subcommand
    which analyzes every .o file and ensures the validity of its stack
    metadata.  It enforces a set of rules on asm code and C inline
    assembly code so that stack traces can be reliable.

    Currently it only checks frame pointer usage, but there are plans to
    add CFI validation for C files and CFI generation for asm files.

    For each function, it recursively follows all possible code paths
    and validates the correct frame pointer state at each instruction.

    It also follows code paths involving special sections, like
    .altinstructions, __jump_table, and __ex_table, which can add
    alternative execution paths to a given instruction (or set of
    instructions).  Similarly, it knows how to follow switch statements,
    for which gcc sometimes uses jump tables."

  When this new kernel option is enabled (it's disabled by default), the
  tool, if it finds any suspicious assembly code pattern, outputs
  warnings in compiler warning format:

    warning: objtool: rtlwifi_rate_mapping()+0x2e7: frame pointer state mismatch
    warning: objtool: cik_tiling_mode_table_init()+0x6ce: call without frame pointer save/setup
    warning: objtool:__schedule()+0x3c0: duplicate frame pointer save
    warning: objtool:__schedule()+0x3fd: sibling call from callable instruction with changed frame pointer

  ... so that scripts that pick up compiler warnings will notice them.
  All known warnings triggered by the tool are fixed by the tree, most
  of the commits in fact prepare the kernel to be warning-free.  Most of
  them are bugfixes or cleanups that stand on their own, but there are
  also some annotations of 'special' stack frames for justified cases
  such entries to JIT-ed code (BPF) or really special boot time code.

  There are two other long-term motivations behind this tool as well:

   - To improve the quality and reliability of kernel stack frames, so
     that they can be used for optimized live patching.

   - To create independent infrastructure to check the correctness of
     CFI stack frames at build time.  CFI debuginfo is notoriously
     unreliable and we cannot use it in the kernel as-is without extra
     checking done both on the kernel side and on the build side.

  The quality of kernel stack frames matters to debuggability as well,
  so IMO we can merge this without having to consider the live patching
  or CFI debuginfo angle"

<content type='text'>
Pause/unpause graph tracing around do_suspend_lowlevel as it has
inconsistent call/return info after it jumps to the wakeup vector.
The graph trace buffer will otherwise become misaligned and
may eventually crash and hang on suspend.

To reproduce the issue and test the fix:
Run a function_graph trace over suspend/resume and set the graph
function to suspend_devices_and_enter. This consistently hangs the
system without this fix.

do_suspend_lowlevel() is a callable non-leaf function which doesn't
honor CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER, which can result in bad stack traces.

Create a stack frame for it when CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER is enabled.

<title>x86, ACPI: Handle apic/x2apic entries in MADT in correct order</title>

<id>urn:sha1:d81056b5278c520f1dede99bd59c14366ac8b1e1</id>
<content type='text'>
ACPI specifies the following rules when listing APIC IDs:
(1) Boot processor is listed first
(2) For multi-threaded processors, BIOS should list the first logical
    processor of each of the individual multi-threaded processors in MADT
    before listing any of the second logical processors.
(3) APIC IDs &lt; 0xFF should be listed in APIC subtable, APIC IDs &gt;= 0xFF
    should be listed in X2APIC subtable

Because of above, when there's more than 0xFF logical CPUs, BIOS
interleaves APIC/X2APIC subtables.

Assuming, there's 72 cores, 72 hyper-threads each, 288 CPUs total,
listing is like this:

APIC (0,4,8, .., 252)
X2APIC (258,260,264, .. 284)
APIC (1,5,9,...,253)
X2APIC (259,261,265,...,285)
APIC (2,6,10,...,254)
X2APIC (260,262,266,..,286)
APIC (3,7,11,...,251)
X2APIC (255,261,262,266,..,287)

Now, before this patch, due to how ACPI MADT subtables were parsed (BSP
then X2APIC then APIC), kernel enumerated CPUs in reverted order (i.e.
high APIC IDs were getting low logical IDs, and low APIC IDs were
getting high logical IDs).
This is wrong for the following reasons:
() it's hard to predict how cores and threads are enumerated
() when it's hard to predict, s/w threads cannot be properly affinitized
   causing significant performance impact due to e.g. inproper cache
   sharing
() enumeration is inconsistent with how threads are enumerated on
   other Intel Xeon processors

So, order in which MADT APIC/X2APIC handlers are passed is
reverse and both handlers are passed to be called during same MADT
table to walk to achieve correct CPU enumeration.

In scenario when someone boots kernel with options 'maxcpus=72 nox2apic',
in result less cores may be booted, since some of the CPUs the kernel
will try to use will have APIC ID &gt;= 0xFF. In such case, one
should not pass 'nox2apic'.

Disclimer: code parsing MADT APIC/X2APIC has not been touched since 2009,
when X2APIC support was initially added. I do not know why MADT parsing
code was added in the reversed order in the first place.
I guess it didn't matter at that time since nobody cared about cores
with APIC IDs &gt;= 0xFF, right?

This patch is based on work of "Yinghai Lu &lt;yinghai@kernel.org&gt;"
previously published at https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/1/21/563

Here's the explanation why parsing interface needs to be changed
and why simpler approach will not work https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/9/7/285

Pull power management and ACPI updates from Rafael Wysocki:
 "From the number of commits perspective, the biggest items are ACPICA
  and cpufreq changes with the latter taking the lead (over 50 commits).

  On the cpufreq front, there are many cleanups and minor fixes in the
  core and governors, driver updates etc.  We also have a new cpufreq
  driver for Mediatek MT8173 chips.

  ACPICA mostly updates its debug infrastructure and adds a number of
  fixes and cleanups for a good measure.

  The Operating Performance Points (OPP) framework is updated with new
  DT bindings and support for them among other things.

  We have a few updates of the generic power domains framework and a
  reorganization of the ACPI device enumeration code and bus type
  operations.

  And a lot of fixes and cleanups all over.

  Included is one branch from the MFD tree as it contains some
  PM-related driver core and ACPI PM changes a few other commits are
  based on.

  Specifics:

   - ACPICA update to upstream revision 20150818 including method
     tracing extensions to allow more in-depth AML debugging in the
     kernel and a number of assorted fixes and cleanups (Bob Moore, Lv
     Zheng, Markus Elfring).

   - ACPI sysfs code updates and a documentation update related to AML
     method tracing (Lv Zheng).

   - ACPI EC driver fix related to serialized evaluations of _Qxx
     methods and ACPI tools updates allowing the EC userspace tool to be
     built from the kernel source (Lv Zheng).

   - ACPI processor driver updates preparing it for future introduction
     of CPPC support and ACPI PCC mailbox driver updates (Ashwin
     Chaugule).

   - ACPI interrupts enumeration fix for a regression related to the
     handling of IRQ attribute conflicts between MADT and the ACPI
     namespace (Jiang Liu).

   - Fixes related to ACPI device PM (Mika Westerberg, Srinidhi
     Kasagar).

   - ACPI device registration code reorganization to separate the
     sysfs-related code and bus type operations from the rest (Rafael J
     Wysocki).

   - Assorted cleanups in the ACPI core (Jarkko Nikula, Mathias Krause,
     Andy Shevchenko, Rafael J Wysocki, Nicolas Iooss).

   - ACPI cpufreq driver and ia64 cpufreq driver fixes and cleanups (Pan
     Xinhui, Rafael J Wysocki).

   - cpufreq core cleanups on top of the previous changes allowing it to
     preseve its sysfs directories over system suspend/resume (Viresh
     Kumar, Rafael J Wysocki, Sebastian Andrzej Siewior).

   - cpufreq fixes and cleanups related to governors (Viresh Kumar).

   - cpufreq updates (core and the cpufreq-dt driver) related to the
     turbo/boost mode support (Viresh Kumar, Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz).

   - New DT bindings for Operating Performance Points (OPP), support for
     them in the OPP framework and in the cpufreq-dt driver plus related
     OPP framework fixes and cleanups (Viresh Kumar).

   - cpufreq powernv driver updates (Shilpasri G Bhat).

   - New cpufreq driver for Mediatek MT8173 (Pi-Cheng Chen).

   - Assorted cpufreq driver (speedstep-lib, sfi, integrator) cleanups
     and fixes (Abhilash Jindal, Andrzej Hajda, Cristian Ardelean).

   - intel_pstate driver updates including Skylake-S support, support
     for enabling HW P-states per CPU and an additional vendor bypass
     list entry (Kristen Carlson Accardi, Chen Yu, Ethan Zhao).

   - cpuidle core fixes related to the handling of coupled idle states
     (Xunlei Pang).

   - intel_idle driver updates including Skylake Client support and
     support for freeze-mode-specific idle states (Len Brown).

   - Driver core updates related to power management (Andy Shevchenko,
     Rafael J Wysocki).

   - Generic power domains framework fixes and cleanups (Jon Hunter,
     Geert Uytterhoeven, Rajendra Nayak, Ulf Hansson).

   - Device PM QoS framework update to allow the latency tolerance
     setting to be exposed to user space via sysfs (Mika Westerberg).

   - devfreq support for PPMUv2 in Exynos5433 and a fix for an incorrect
     exynos-ppmu DT binding (Chanwoo Choi, Javier Martinez Canillas).

   - System sleep support updates (Alan Stern, Len Brown, SungEun Kim).

   - rockchip-io AVS support updates (Heiko Stuebner).

   - PM core clocks support fixup (Colin Ian King).

   - Power capping RAPL driver update including support for Skylake H/S
     and Broadwell-H (Radivoje Jovanovic, Seiichi Ikarashi).

   - Generic device properties framework fixes related to the handling
     of static (driver-provided) property sets (Andy Shevchenko).

   - turbostat and cpupower updates (Len Brown, Shilpasri G Bhat,
     Shreyas B Prabhu)"

Nick Meier reported a regression with HyperV that "
  After rebooting the VM, the following messages are logged in syslog
  when trying to load the tulip driver:
    tulip: Linux Tulip drivers version 1.1.15 (Feb 27, 2007)
    tulip: 0000:00:0a.0: PCI INT A: failed to register GSI
    tulip: Cannot enable tulip board #0, aborting
    tulip: probe of 0000:00:0a.0 failed with error -16
  Errors occur in 3.19.0 kernel
  Works in 3.17 kernel.
"

According to the ACPI dump file posted by Nick at
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1440072

The ACPI MADT table includes an interrupt source overridden entry for
ACPI SCI:
[236h 0566  1]                Subtable Type : 02 &lt;Interrupt Source Override&gt;
[237h 0567  1]                       Length : 0A
[238h 0568  1]                          Bus : 00
[239h 0569  1]                       Source : 09
[23Ah 0570  4]                    Interrupt : 00000009
[23Eh 0574  2]        Flags (decoded below) : 000D
                                   Polarity : 1
                               Trigger Mode : 3

And in DSDT table, we have _PRT method to define PCI interrupts, which
eventually goes to:
        Name (PRSA, ResourceTemplate ()
        {
            IRQ (Level, ActiveLow, Shared, )
                {3,4,5,7,9,10,11,12,14,15}
        })
        Name (PRSB, ResourceTemplate ()
        {
            IRQ (Level, ActiveLow, Shared, )
                {3,4,5,7,9,10,11,12,14,15}
        })
        Name (PRSC, ResourceTemplate ()
        {
            IRQ (Level, ActiveLow, Shared, )
                {3,4,5,7,9,10,11,12,14,15}
        })
        Name (PRSD, ResourceTemplate ()
        {
            IRQ (Level, ActiveLow, Shared, )
                {3,4,5,7,9,10,11,12,14,15}
        })

According to the MADT and DSDT tables, IRQ 9 may be used for:
 1) ACPI SCI in level, high mode
 2) PCI legacy IRQ in level, low mode
So there's a conflict in polarity setting for IRQ 9.

Prior to commit cd68f6bd53cf ("x86, irq, acpi: Get rid of special
handling of GSI for ACPI SCI"), ACPI SCI is handled specially and
there's no check for conflicts between ACPI SCI and PCI legagy IRQ.
And it seems that the HyperV hypervisor doesn't make use of the
polarity configuration in IOAPIC entry, so it just works.

Commit cd68f6bd53cf gets rid of the specially handling of ACPI SCI,
and then the pin attribute checking code discloses the conflicts
between ACPI SCI and PCI legacy IRQ on HyperV virtual machine,
and rejects the request to assign IRQ9 to PCI devices.

So penalize legacy IRQ used by ACPI SCI and mark it unusable if ACPI
SCI attributes conflict with PCI IRQ attributes.

<title>x86: Drop bogus __ref / __refdata annotations</title>

The __ref / __refdata annotations used to be needed because of
referencing functions / variables annotated __cpuinit /
__cpuinitdata.

But those annotations vanished during the development of v3.11.

Therefore most of the __ref / __refdata annotations are not needed
anymore. As they may hide legitimate sections mismatches, we
better get rid of them.
