Pull dma mapping updates from Christoph Hellwig:
"Except for a runtime warning fix from Christian this is all about
consolidation of the generic no-IOMMU code, a well as the glue code
for swiotlb.
All the code is based on the x86 implementation with hooks to allow
all architectures that aren't cache coherent to use it.
The x86 conversion itself has been deferred because the x86
maintainers were a little busy in the last months"

Pull SCSI updates from James Bottomley:
"This is mostly updates of the usual driver suspects: arcmsr,
scsi_debug, mpt3sas, lpfc, cxlflash, qla2xxx, aacraid, megaraid_sas,
hisi_sas.
We also have a rework of the libsas hotplug handling to make it more
robust, a slew of 32 bit time conversions and fixes, and a host of the
usual minor updates and style changes. The biggest potential for
regressions is the libsas hotplug changes, but so far they seem stable
under testing"

Pull device mapper updates from Mike Snitzer:
- DM core fixes to ensure that bio submission follows a depth-first
tree walk; this is critical to allow forward progress without the
need to use the bioset's BIOSET_NEED_RESCUER.
- Remove DM core's BIOSET_NEED_RESCUER based dm_offload infrastructure.
- DM core cleanups and improvements to make bio-based DM more efficient
(e.g. reduced memory footprint as well leveraging per-bio-data more).
- Introduce new bio-based mode (DM_TYPE_NVME_BIO_BASED) that leverages
the more direct IO submission path in the block layer; this mode is
used by DM multipath and also optimizes targets like DM thin-pool
that stack directly on NVMe data device.
- DM multipath improvements to factor out legacy SCSI-only (e.g.
scsi_dh) code paths to allow for more optimized support for NVMe
multipath.
- A fix for DM multipath path selectors (service-time and queue-length)
to select paths in a more balanced way; largely academic but doesn't
hurt.
- Numerous DM raid target fixes and improvements.
- Add a new DM "unstriped" target that enables Intel to workaround
firmware limitations in some NVMe drives that are striped internally
(this target also works when stacked above the DM "striped" target).
- Various Documentation fixes and improvements.
- Misc cleanups and fixes across various DM infrastructure and targets
(e.g. bufio, flakey, log-writes, snapshot).

Pull xfs updates from Darrick Wong:
"This merge cycle, we're again some substantive changes to XFS.
Metadata verifiers have been restructured to provide more detail about
which part of a metadata structure failed checks, and we've enhanced
the new online fsck feature to cross-reference extent allocation
information with the other metadata structures. With this pull, the
metadata verification part of online fsck is more or less finished,
though the feature is still experimental and still disabled by
default.
We're also preparing to remove the EXPERIMENTAL tag from a couple of
features this cycle. This week we're committing a bunch of space
accounting fixes for reflink and removing the EXPERIMENTAL tag from
reflink; I anticipate that we'll be ready to do the same for the
reverse mapping feature next week. (I don't have any pending fixes for
rmap; however I wish to remove the tags one at a time.)
This giant pile of patches has been run through a full xfstests run
over the weekend and through a quick xfstests run against this
morning's master, with no major failures reported. Let me know if
there's any merge problems -- git merge reported that one of our
patches touched the same function as the i_version series, but it
resolved things cleanly.
Summary:
- Log faulting code locations when verifiers fail, for improved
diagnosis of corrupt filesystems.
- Implement metadata verifiers for local format inode fork data.
- Online scrub now cross-references metadata records with other
metadata.
- Refactor the fs geometry ioctl generation functions.
- Harden various metadata verifiers.
- Fix various accounting problems.
- Fix uncancelled transactions leaking when xattr functions fail.
- Prevent the copy-on-write speculative preallocation garbage
collector from racing with writeback.
- Emit log reservation type information as trace data so that we can
compare against xfsprogs.
- Fix some erroneous asserts in the online scrub code.
- Clean up the transaction reservation calculations.
- Fix various minor bugs in online scrub.
- Log complaints about mixed dio/buffered writes once per day and
less noisily than before.
- Refactor buffer log item lists to use list_head.
- Break PNFS leases before reflinking blocks.
- Reduce lock contention on reflink source files.
- Fix some quota accounting problems with reflink.
- Fix a serious corruption problem in the direct cow write code where
we fed bad iomaps to the vfs iomap consumers.
- Various other refactorings.
- Remove EXPERIMENTAL tag from reflink!"

Pull GFS2 updates from Bob Peterson:
"We've got 30 patches for this merge window. These generally fall into
five categories:
- code cleanups
- patches related to adding PUNCH_HOLE support to GFS2
- support for new fields in resource group headers
- a few bug fixes
- support for new fields in journal log headers. These new fields,
which were previously unused, are designed to make it easier to
track down file system corruption, and allow fsck.gfs2 to make more
intelligent decisions when finding and fixing file system
corruption.
Details:
- Two patches from Abhi Das, to trim the ordered writes list, which
used to grow uncontrollably until unmount.
- Several patches from Andreas Gruenbacher: remove an unused
parameter from function gfs2_write_jdata_pagevec, remove a
pointless BUG_ON, clean up an error patch in trunc_start, remove
some unused parameters from truncate, make gfs2_journaled_truncate
more efficient, clean up the support functions for truncate, fix
metadata read-ahead for truncate to make it faster, fix up the
non-recursive truncate code, rework and rename
gfs2_block_truncate_page, generalize the non-recursive truncate
code so it can take a range of values for punch_hole support,
introduce new PUNCH_HOLE support that take advantage of the
previous patches, add fallocate support with PUNCH_HOLE, fix some
typos in the comments, add the function gfs2_max_stuffed_size to
replace a piece of code that was needlessly repeated throughout
GFS2, a minor cleanup to function gfs2_page_add_databufs, get rid
of function gfs2_log_header_in in preparation for the new log
header fields, and also fix up some missing newlines in kernel
messages.
- Andy Price added a new field to resource groups to indicate where
the next one should be, to allow fsck.gfs2 to make better repairs.
He also added new rindex fields for consistency checking, and added
a crc field to resource group headers for consistency checking.
- I reduced redundancy in functions common to freeing dinodes, and
when writing log headers between the journalling code and journal
recovery code. Also added new fields to journal log headers based
on a prototype from Steve Whitehouse, and log the source of journal
log headers so we can better track down journal corruption. Minor
comment typo fix and a fix for a BUG in an unlink error path.
- Steve Whitehouse contributed a patch to fix an incorrect use of the
gfs2_blk2rgrpd function.
- Tetsuo Handa contributed a patch that fixes incorrect error
handling in function init_gfs2_fs"

As Linus points out:
The inode_cmp_iversion{+raw}() functions are pure and utter crap.
Why?
You say that they return 0/negative/positive, but they do so in a
completely broken manner. They return that ternary value as the
sequence number difference in a 's64', which means that if you
actually care about that ternary value, and do the *sane* thing that
the kernel-doc of the function implies is the right thing, you would
do
int cmp = inode_cmp_iversion(inode, old);
if (cmp < 0 ...
and as a result you get code that looks sane, but that doesn't
actually *WORK* right.
Since none of the callers actually care about the ternary value here,
convert the inode_cmp_iversion{+raw} functions to just return a boolean
value (false for matching, true for non-matching).
This matches the existing use of these functions just fine, and makes it
simple to convert them to return a ternary value in the future if we
grow callers that need it.
With this change we can also reimplement inode_cmp_iversion in a simpler
way using inode_peek_iversion.

Pull poll annotations from Al Viro:
"This introduces a __bitwise type for POLL### bitmap, and propagates
the annotations through the tree. Most of that stuff is as simple as
'make ->poll() instances return __poll_t and do the same to local
variables used to hold the future return value'.
Some of the obvious brainos found in process are fixed (e.g. POLLIN
misspelled as POLL_IN). At that point the amount of sparse warnings is
low and most of them are for genuine bugs - e.g. ->poll() instance
deciding to return -EINVAL instead of a bitmap. I hadn't touched those
in this series - it's large enough as it is.
Another problem it has caught was eventpoll() ABI mess; select.c and
eventpoll.c assumed that corresponding POLL### and EPOLL### were
equal. That's true for some, but not all of them - EPOLL### are
arch-independent, but POLL### are not.
The last commit in this series separates userland POLL### values from
the (now arch-independent) kernel-side ones, converting between them
in the few places where they are copied to/from userland. AFAICS, this
is the least disruptive fix preserving poll(2) ABI and making epoll()
work on all architectures.
As it is, it's simply broken on sparc - try to give it EPOLLWRNORM and
it will trigger only on what would've triggered EPOLLWRBAND on other
architectures. EPOLLWRBAND and EPOLLRDHUP, OTOH, are never triggered
at all on sparc. With this patch they should work consistently on all
architectures"

Pull workqueue updates from Tejun Heo:
"Workqueue has an early init trick where workqueues can be created and
work items queued on them before the workqueue subsystem is online.
This helps simplifying early init and operation of low level
subsystems which use workqueues for managerial things which aren't
depended upon early during boot.
Out of laziness, the early init didn't cover workqueues with
WQ_MEM_RECLAIM, which is inconsistent and confusing because adding the
flag simply makes the system fail to boot. Cover WQ_MEM_RECLAIM too.
This was originally brought up for RCU but RCU didn't actually need
this. I still think it's a good idea to cover it"

Pull siginfo cleanups from Eric Biederman:
"Long ago when 2.4 was just a testing release copy_siginfo_to_user was
made to copy individual fields to userspace, possibly for efficiency
and to ensure initialized values were not copied to userspace.
Unfortunately the design was complex, it's assumptions unstated, and
humans are fallible and so while it worked much of the time that
design failed to ensure unitialized memory is not copied to userspace.
This set of changes is part of a new design to clean up siginfo and
simplify things, and hopefully make the siginfo handling robust enough
that a simple inspection of the code can be made to ensure we don't
copy any unitializied fields to userspace.
The design is to unify struct siginfo and struct compat_siginfo into a
single definition that is shared between all architectures so that
anyone adding to the set of information shared with struct siginfo can
see the whole picture. Hopefully ensuring all future si_code
assignments are arch independent.
The design is to unify copy_siginfo_to_user32 and
copy_siginfo_from_user32 so that those function are complete and cope
with all of the different cases documented in signinfo_layout. I don't
think there was a single implementation of either of those functions
that was complete and correct before my changes unified them.
The design is to introduce a series of helpers including
force_siginfo_fault that take the values that are needed in struct
siginfo and build the siginfo structure for their callers. Ensuring
struct siginfo is built correctly.
The remaining work for 4.17 (unless someone thinks it is post -rc1
material) is to push usage of those helpers down into the
architectures so that architecture specific code will not need to deal
with the fiddly work of intializing struct siginfo, and then when
struct siginfo is guaranteed to be fully initialized change copy
siginfo_to_user into a simple wrapper around copy_to_user.
Further there is work in progress on the issues that have been
documented requires arch specific knowledge to sort out.
The changes below fix or at least document all of the issues that have
been found with siginfo generation. Then proceed to unify struct
siginfo the 32 bit helpers that copy siginfo to and from userspace,
and generally clean up anything that is not arch specific with regards
to siginfo generation.
It is a lot but with the unification you can of siginfo you can
already see the code reduction in the kernel"

Pull arm64 updates from Catalin Marinas:
"The main theme of this pull request is security covering variants 2
and 3 for arm64. I expect to send additional patches next week
covering an improved firmware interface (requires firmware changes)
for variant 2 and way for KPTI to be disabled on unaffected CPUs
(Cavium's ThunderX doesn't work properly with KPTI enabled because of
a hardware erratum).
Summary:
- Security mitigations:
- variant 2: invalidate the branch predictor with a call to
secure firmware
- variant 3: implement KPTI for arm64
- 52-bit physical address support for arm64 (ARMv8.2)
- arm64 support for RAS (firmware first only) and SDEI (software
delegated exception interface; allows firmware to inject a RAS
error into the OS)
- perf support for the ARM DynamIQ Shared Unit PMU
- CPUID and HWCAP bits updated for new floating point multiplication
instructions in ARMv8.4
- remove some virtual memory layout printks during boot

- Intel-PT/BTS improvements (Adrian Hunter)
- Numerous 'perf trace' improvements (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
- Introduce an errno code to string facility (Hendrik Brueckner)
- Various build system improvements (Jiri Olsa)

- Add infrastructure to record first and last sample time to the
perf.data file header, so that when processing all samples in a
'perf record' session, such as when doing build-id processing, or
when specifically requesting that that info be recorded, use that
in 'perf report --time', that also got support for percent slices
in addition to absolute ones.
I.e. now it is possible to ask for the samples in the 10%-20% time
slice of a perf.data file (Jin Yao)

Pull timer updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"The timer departement presents:
- A rather large rework of the hrtimer infrastructure which
introduces softirq based hrtimers to replace the spread of
hrtimer/tasklet combos which force the actual callback execution
into softirq context. The approach is completely different from the
initial implementation which you cursed at 10 years ago rightfully.
The softirq based timers have their own queues and there is no
nasty indirection and list reshuffling in the hard interrupt
anymore. This comes with conversion of some of the hrtimer/tasklet
users, the rest and the final removal of that horrible interface
will come towards the end of the merge window or go through the
relevant maintainer trees.
Note: The top commit merged the last minute bugfix for the 10 years
old CPU hotplug bug as I wanted to make sure that I fatfinger the
merge conflict resolution myself.
- The overhaul of the STM32 clocksource/clockevents driver
- A new driver for the Spreadtrum SC9860 timer
- A new driver dor the Actions Semi S700 timer

"Features or user visible changes:
- fallocate: implement zero range mode
- avoid losing data raid profile when deleting a device

Notable fixes:
- raid56 recovery: don't use cached stripes, that could be
potentially changed and a later RMW or recovery would lead to
corruptions or failures
- let raid56 try harder to rebuild damaged data, reading from all
stripes if necessary
- fix scrub to repair raid56 in a similar way as in the case above
Other:
- cleanups: device freeing, removed some call indirections, redundant
bio_put/_get, unused parameters, refactorings and renames
- RCU list traversal fixups
- simplify mount callchain, remove recursing back when mounting a
subvolume
- plug for fsync, may improve bio merging on multiple devices

Pull inode->i_version rework from Jeff Layton:
"This pile of patches is a rework of the inode->i_version field. We
have traditionally incremented that field on every inode data or
metadata change. Typically this increment needs to be logged on disk
even when nothing else has changed, which is rather expensive.
It turns out though that none of the consumers of that field actually
require this behavior. The only real requirement for all of them is
that it be different iff the inode has changed since the last time the
field was checked.
Given that, we can optimize away most of the i_version increments and
avoid dirtying inode metadata when the only change is to the i_version
and no one is querying it. Queries of the i_version field are rather
rare, so we can help write performance under many common workloads.
This patch series converts existing accesses of the i_version field to
a new API, and then converts all of the in-kernel filesystems to use
it. The last patch in the series then converts the backend
implementation to a scheme that optimizes away a large portion of the
metadata updates when no one is looking at it.
In my own testing this series significantly helps performance with
small I/O sizes. I also got this email for Christmas this year from
the kernel test robot (a 244% r/w bandwidth improvement with XFS over
DAX, with 4k writes):
https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/12/25/8
A few of the earlier patches in this pile are also flowing to you via
other trees (mm, integrity, and nfsd trees in particular)".

Pull block updates from Jens Axboe:
"This is the main pull request for block IO related changes for the
4.16 kernel. Nothing major in this pull request, but a good amount of
improvements and fixes all over the map. This contains:
- BFQ improvements, fixes, and cleanups from Angelo, Chiara, and
Paolo.
- Support for SMR zones for deadline and mq-deadline from Damien and
Christoph.
- Set of fixes for bcache by way of Michael Lyle, including fixes
from himself, Kent, Rui, Tang, and Coly.
- Series from Matias for lightnvm with fixes from Hans Holmberg,
Javier, and Matias. Mostly centered around pblk, and the removing
rrpc 1.2 in preparation for supporting 2.0.
- A couple of NVMe pull requests from Christoph. Nothing major in
here, just fixes and cleanups, and support for command tracing from
Johannes.
- Support for blk-throttle for tracking reads and writes separately.
From Joseph Qi. A few cleanups/fixes also for blk-throttle from
Weiping.
- Series from Mike Snitzer that enables dm to register its queue more
logically, something that's alwways been problematic on dm since
it's a stacked device.
- Series from Ming cleaning up some of the bio accessor use, in
preparation for supporting multipage bvecs.
- Various fixes from Ming closing up holes around queue mapping and
quiescing.
- BSD partition fix from Richard Narron, fixing a problem where we
can't mount newer (10/11) FreeBSD partitions.
- Series from Tejun reworking blk-mq timeout handling. The previous
scheme relied on atomic bits, but it had races where we would think
a request had timed out if it to reused at the wrong time.
- null_blk now supports faking timeouts, to enable us to better
exercise and test that functionality separately. From me.
- Kill the separate atomic poll bit in the request struct. After
this, we don't use the atomic bits on blk-mq anymore at all. From
me.
- sgl_alloc/free helpers from Bart.
- Heavily contended tag case scalability improvement from me.
- Various little fixes and cleanups from Arnd, Bart, Corentin,
Douglas, Eryu, Goldwyn, and myself"
