Pull networking updates from David Millar:
"Here are some highlights from the 2065 networking commits that
happened this development cycle:
1) XDP support for IXGBE (John Fastabend) and thunderx (Sunil Kowuri)
2) Add a generic XDP driver, so that anyone can test XDP even if they
lack a networking device whose driver has explicit XDP support
(me).
3) Sparc64 now has an eBPF JIT too (me)
4) Add a BPF program testing framework via BPF_PROG_TEST_RUN (Alexei
Starovoitov)
5) Make netfitler network namespace teardown less expensive (Florian
Westphal)
6) Add symmetric hashing support to nft_hash (Laura Garcia Liebana)
7) Implement NAPI and GRO in netvsc driver (Stephen Hemminger)
8) Support TC flower offload statistics in mlxsw (Arkadi Sharshevsky)
9) Multiqueue support in stmmac driver (Joao Pinto)
10) Remove TCP timewait recycling, it never really could possibly work
well in the real world and timestamp randomization really zaps any
hint of usability this feature had (Soheil Hassas Yeganeh)
11) Support level3 vs level4 ECMP route hashing in ipv4 (Nikolay
Aleksandrov)
12) Add socket busy poll support to epoll (Sridhar Samudrala)
13) Netlink extended ACK support (Johannes Berg, Pablo Neira Ayuso,
and several others)
14) IPSEC hw offload infrastructure (Steffen Klassert)"

Because the rcu_cblist_n_lazy_cbs() just samples the ->len_lazy counter,
and because the rcu_cblist structure is quite straightforward, it makes
sense to open-code rcu_cblist_n_lazy_cbs(p) as p->len_lazy, cutting out
a level of indirection. This commit makes this change.

Cong Wang correctly pointed out that the RCU read locking of the
auditd_connection struct was wrong, this patch correct this by
adopting a more traditional, and correct RCU locking model.
This patch is heavily based on an earlier prototype by Cong Wang.

The audit subsystem implemented its own buffer cache mechanism which
is a bit silly these days when we could use the kmem_cache construct.
Some credit is due to Florian Westphal for originally proposing that
we remove the audit cache implementation in favor of simple
kmalloc()/kfree() calls, but I would rather have a dedicated slab
cache to ease debugging and future stats/performance work.

struct timespec is not y2038 safe.
Audit timestamps are recorded in string format into
an audit buffer for a given context.
These mark the entry timestamps for the syscalls.
Use y2038 safe struct timespec64 to represent the times.
The log strings can handle this transition as strings can
hold upto 1024 characters.

When a sysadmin wishes to monitor module unloading with a syscall rule such as:
-a always,exit -F arch=x86_64 -S delete_module -F key=mod-unload
the SYSCALL record doesn't tell us what module was requested for unloading.
Use the new KERN_MODULE auxiliary record to record it.
The SYSCALL record result code will list the return code.

Linus noticed that the <linux/rcu_segcblist.h> has huge inline functions
which should not be inline at all.
As a first step in cleaning this up, move them all to kernel/rcu/ and
only keep an absolute minimum of data type defines in the header:
before: -rw-r--r-- 1 mingo mingo 22284 May 2 10:25 include/linux/rcu_segcblist.h
after: -rw-r--r-- 1 mingo mingo 3180 May 2 10:22 include/linux/rcu_segcblist.h
More can be done, such as uninlining the large functions, which inlining
is unjustified even if it's an RCU internal matter.

Pull uaccess unification updates from Al Viro:
"This is the uaccess unification pile. It's _not_ the end of uaccess
work, but the next batch of that will go into the next cycle. This one
mostly takes copy_from_user() and friends out of arch/* and gets the
zero-padding behaviour in sync for all architectures.
Dealing with the nocache/writethrough mess is for the next cycle;
fortunately, that's x86-only. Same for cleanups in iov_iter.c (I am
sold on access_ok() in there, BTW; just not in this pile), same for
reducing __copy_... callsites, strn*... stuff, etc. - there will be a
pile about as large as this one in the next merge window.
This one sat in -next for weeks. -3KLoC"

Pull power management updates from Rafael Wysocki:
"This time the majority of changes go to the cpufreq subsystem (and to
the intel_pstate driver in particular) and there are some updates in
the generic power domains framework, cpuidle, tools and a couple of
other places.
One thing worth mentioning is that the intel_pstate's sysfs interface
has been reworked to be more consistent with the general expectations
of the cpufreq core and less confusing, hopefully for the better.
Also, we have a new cpufreq driver for Tegra186 and new hardware
support in intel_pstata and the Mediatek cpufreq driver.
Apart from that, the AnalyzeSuspend utility for system suspend
profiling gets a companion called AnalyzeBoot for the analogous
profiling of system boot and they both go into one place under
tools/power/pm-graph/.
The rest is mostly fixes, cleanups and code reorganization.
Specifics:
- Rework the intel_pstate driver's sysfs interface to make it more
straightforward and more intuitive (Rafael Wysocki).
- Make intel_pstate support all processors which advertise HWP
(hardware-managed P-states) to the kernel in all operation modes
and make it use the load-based P-state selection algorithm on a
wider range of systems in the active mode (Rafael Wysocki).
- Add cpufreq driver for Tegra186 (Mikko Perttunen).
- Add support for Gemini Lake SoCs to intel_pstate (David Box).
- Add support for MT8176 and MT817x to the Mediatek cpufreq driver
and clean up that driver a bit (Daniel Kurtz).
- Clean up intel_pstate and optimize it slightly (Rafael Wysocki).
- Update the schedutil cpufreq governor, mostly to fix a couple of
issues with it related to specific workloads, and rework its sysfs
tunable and initialization a bit (Rafael Wysocki, Viresh Kumar).
- Fix minor issues in the imx6q, dbx500 and qoriq cpufreq drivers
(Christophe Jaillet, Irina Tirdea, Leonard Crestez, Viresh Kumar,
YuanTian Tang).
- Add file patterns for cpufreq DT bindings to MAINTAINERS (Geert
Uytterhoeven).
- Add support for "always on" power domains to the genpd (generic
power domains) framework and clean up that code somewhat (Ulf
Hansson, Lina Iyer, Viresh Kumar).
- Fix minor issues in the powernv cpuidle driver and clean it up
(Anton Blanchard, Gautham Shenoy).
- Move the AnalyzeSuspend utility under tools/power/pm-graph/ and add
an analogous boot-profiling utility called AnalyzeBoot to it (Todd
Brandt).
- Add rk3328 support to the rockchip-io AVS (Adaptive Voltage
Scaling) driver (David Wu).
- Fix minor issues in the cpuidle core, the intel_pstate_tracer
utility, the devfreq framework and the PM core documentation
(Chanwoo Choi, Doug Smythies, Johan Hovold, Marcin Nowakowski)"

- Add BFQ IO scheduler under the new blk-mq scheduling framework. BFQ
was initially a fork of CFQ, but subsequently changed to implement
fairness based on B-WF2Q+, a modified variant of WF2Q. BFQ is meant
to be used on desktop type single drives, providing good fairness.
From Paolo.
- Add Kyber IO scheduler. This is a full multiqueue aware scheduler,
using a scalable token based algorithm that throttles IO based on
live completion IO stats, similary to blk-wbt. From Omar.
- A series from Jan, moving users to separately allocated backing
devices. This continues the work of separating backing device life
times, solving various problems with hot removal.
- A series of updates for lightnvm, mostly from Javier. Includes a
'pblk' target that exposes an open channel SSD as a physical block
device.
- A series of fixes and improvements for nbd from Josef.
- A series from Omar, removing queue sharing between devices on mostly
legacy drivers. This helps us clean up other bits, if we know that a
queue only has a single device backing. This has been overdue for
more than a decade.
- Fixes for the blk-stats, and improvements to unify the stats and user
windows. This both improves blk-wbt, and enables other users to
register a need to receive IO stats for a device. From Omar.
- blk-throttle improvements from Shaohua. This provides a scalable
framework for implementing scalable priotization - particularly for
blk-mq, but applicable to any type of block device. The interface is
marked experimental for now.
- Bucketized IO stats for IO polling from Stephen Bates. This improves
efficiency of polled workloads in the presence of mixed block size
IO.
- A few fixes for opal, from Scott.
- A few pulls for NVMe, including a lot of fixes for NVMe-over-fabrics.
From a variety of folks, mostly Sagi and James Smart.
- A series from Bart, improving our exposed info and capabilities from
the blk-mq debugfs support.
- A series from Christoph, cleaning up how handle WRITE_ZEROES.
- A series from Christoph, cleaning up the block layer handling of how
we track errors in a request. On top of being a nice cleanup, it also
shrinks the size of struct request a bit.

and the verifier complains "R2 invalid mem access 'inv'" for insn #521.
This is because verifier marks register r2 as unknown value after #519

When reading the ring buffer for consuming, it is optimized for splice,
where a page is taken out of the ring buffer (zero copy) and sent to the
reading consumer. When the read is finished with the page, it calls
ring_buffer_free_read_page(), which simply frees the page. The next time the
reader needs to get a page from the ring buffer, it must call
ring_buffer_alloc_read_page() which allocates and initializes a reader page
for the ring buffer to be swapped into the ring buffer for a new filled page
for the reader.
The problem is that there's no reason to actually free the page when it is
passed back to the ring buffer. It can hold it off and reuse it for the next
iteration. This completely removes the interaction with the page_alloc
mechanism.
Using the trace-cmd utility to record all events (causing trace-cmd to
require reading lots of pages from the ring buffer, and calling
ring_buffer_alloc/free_read_page() several times), and also assigning a
stack trace trigger to the mm_page_alloc event, we can see how many times
the ring_buffer_alloc_read_page() needed to allocate a page for the ring
buffer.
Before this change:
# trace-cmd record -e all -e mem_page_alloc -R stacktrace sleep 1
# trace-cmd report |grep ring_buffer_alloc_read_page | wc -l
9968
After this change:
# trace-cmd record -e all -e mem_page_alloc -R stacktrace sleep 1
# trace-cmd report |grep ring_buffer_alloc_read_page | wc -l

reference to fix pmem crash
The x86 conversion to the generic GUP code included a small change which causes
crashes and data corruption in the pmem code - not good.
The root cause is that the /dev/pmem driver code implicitly relies on the x86
get_user_pages() implementation doing a get_page() on the page refcount, because
get_page() does a get_zone_device_page() which properly refcounts pmem's separate
page struct arrays that are not present in the regular page struct structures.
(The pmem driver does this because it can cover huge memory areas.)
But the x86 conversion to the generic GUP code changed the get_page() to
page_cache_get_speculative() which is faster but doesn't do the
get_zone_device_page() call the pmem code relies on.
One way to solve the regression would be to change the generic GUP code to use
get_page(), but that would slow things down a bit and punish other generic-GUP
using architectures for an x86-ism they did not care about. (Arguably the pmem
driver was probably not working reliably for them: but nvdimm is an Intel
feature, so non-x86 exposure is probably still limited.)
So restructure the pmem code's interface with the MM instead: get rid of the
get/put_zone_device_page() distinction, integrate put_zone_device_page() into
__put_page() and and restructure the pmem completion-wait and teardown machinery:
Kirill points out that the calls to {get,put}_dev_pagemap() can be
removed from the mm fast path if we take a single get_dev_pagemap()
reference to signify that the page is alive and use the final put of the
page to drop that reference.
This does require some care to make sure that any waits for the
percpu_ref to drop to zero occur *after* devm_memremap_page_release(),
since it now maintains its own elevated reference.
This speeds up things while also making the pmem refcounting more robust going
forward.

This currently triggers the following warning spuriously.

irq_time_read() returns the irqtime minus the ksoftirqd time. This
is necessary because irq_time_read() is used to substract the IRQ time
from the sum_exec_runtime of a task. If we were to include the softirq
time of ksoftirqd, this task would substract its own CPU time everytime
it updates ksoftirqd->sum_exec_runtime which would therefore never
progress.
But this behaviour got broken by:
a499a5a14db ("sched/cputime: Increment kcpustat directly on irqtime account")
... which now includes ksoftirqd softirq time in the time returned by
irq_time_read().
This has resulted in wrong ksoftirqd cputime reported to userspace
through /proc/stat and thus "top" not showing ksoftirqd when it should
after intense networking load.
ksoftirqd->stime happens to be correct but it gets scaled down by
sum_exec_runtime through task_cputime_adjusted().
To fix this, just account the strict IRQ time in a separate counter and
use it to report the IRQ time.

On small systems, in the absence of readers, expedited SRCU grace
periods can complete in less than a microsecond. This means that an
eight-CPU system can have all CPUs doing synchronize_srcu() in a tight
loop and almost always expedite. This might actually be desirable in
some situations, but in general it is a good way to needlessly burn
CPU cycles. And in those situations where it is desirable, your friend
is the function synchronize_srcu_expedited().
For other situations, this commit adds a kernel parameter that specifies
a holdoff between completing the last SRCU grace period and auto-expediting
the next. If the next grace period starts before the holdoff expires,
auto-expediting is disabled. The holdoff is 50 microseconds by default,
and can be tuned to the desired number of nanoseconds. A value of zero
disables auto-expediting.

Classic SRCU in effect expedites the first synchronize_srcu() when SRCU
is idle, and Mike Galbraith demonstrated that some use cases do in fact
rely on this behavior. In particular, Mike showed that Steven Rostedt's
hotplug stress script takes 55 seconds with Classic SRCU and more than
16 -minutes- when running Tree SRCU. Assuming that each Tree SRCU's call
to synchronize_srcu() takes four milliseconds, this implies that Steven's
test invokes synchronize_srcu() in isolation, but more than once per
200 microseconds. Mike used ftrace to demonstrate that the time between
successive calls to synchronize_srcu() ranged from 118 to 342 microseconds,
with one outlier at 80 milliseconds. This data clearly indicates that
Tree SRCU needs to expedite the first invocation of synchronize_srcu()
during an SRCU idle period.
This commit therefor introduces a srcu_might_be_idle() function that
probabilistically checks whether or not SRCU is idle. This function is
used by synchronize_rcu() as an additional criterion in deciding whether
or not to expedite.
(Hat trick to Peter Zijlstra for his earlier suggestion that this might
in fact be a problem. Which for all I know might have motivated Mike to
look into it.)

Commit f60d231a87c5 ("srcu: Crude control of expedited grace periods")
introduced a per-srcu_struct atomic counter to track outstanding
requests for grace periods. This works, but represents a memory-contention
bottleneck. This commit therefore uses the srcu_node combining tree
to remove this bottleneck.
This commit adds new ->srcu_gp_seq_needed_exp fields to the
srcu_data, srcu_node, and srcu_struct structures, which track the
farthest-in-the-future grace period that must be expedited, which in
turn requires that all nearer-term grace periods also be expedited.
Requests for expediting start with the srcu_data structure, run up
through the srcu_node tree, and end at the srcu_struct structure.
Note that it may be necessary to expedite a grace period that just
now started, and this is handled by a new srcu_funnel_exp_start()
function, which is invoked when the grace period itself is already
in its way, but when that grace period was not marked as expedited.
A new srcu_get_delay() function returns zero if there is at least one
expedited SRCU grace period in flight, or SRCU_INTERVAL otherwise.
This function is used to calculate delays: Normal grace periods
are allowed to extend in order to cover more requests with a given
grace-period computation, which decreases per-request overhead.

In the past, SRCU was simple enough that there was little point in
making the rcutorture writer stall messages print the SRCU grace-period
number state. With the advent of Tree SRCU, this has changed. This
commit therefore makes Classic, Tiny, and Tree SRCU report this state
to rcutorture as needed.
