git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip Pull x86 cache resource updates from Thomas Gleixner: "This update provides updates to RDT: - A diagnostic framework for the Resource Director Technology (RDT) user interface (sysfs). The failure modes of the user interface are hard to diagnose from the error codes.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip Pull timer updates from Thomas Gleixner: "Yet another big pile of changes: - More year 2038 work from Arnd slowly reaching the point where we need to think about the syscalls themself. - A new timer function which allows to conditionally (re)arm a timer only when it's either not running or the new expiry time is sooner than the armed expiry time. This allows to use a single timer for multiple timeout requirements w/o caring about the first expiry time at the call site. - A new NMI safe accessor to clock real time for the printk timestamp work. Can be used by tracing, perf as well if required. - A large number of timer setup conversions from Kees which got collected here because either maintainers requested so or they simply got ignored. As Kees pointed out already there are a few trivial merge conflicts and some redundant commits which was unavoidable due to the size of this conversion effort. - Avoid a redundant iteration in the timer wheel softirq processing. - Provide a mechanism to treat RTC implementations depending on their hardware properties, i.e. don't inflict the write at the 0.5 seconds boundary which originates from the PC CMOS RTC to all RTCs. No functional change as drivers need to be updated separately. - The usual small updates to core code clocksource drivers. Nothing really exciting" * 'timers-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (111 commits) timers: Add a function to start/reduce a timer pstore: Use ktime_get_real_fast_ns() instead of __getnstimeofday() timer: Prepare to change all DEFINE_TIMER() callbacks netfilter: ipvs: Convert timers to use timer_setup() scsi: qla2xxx: Convert timers to use timer_setup() block/aoe: discover_timer: Convert timers to use timer_setup() ide: Convert timers to use timer_setup() drbd: Convert timers to use timer_setup() mailbox: Convert timers to use timer_setup() crypto: Convert timers to use timer_setup() drivers/pcmcia: omap1: Fix error in automated timer conversion ARM: footbridge: Fix typo in timer conversion drivers/sgi-xp: Convert timers to use timer_setup() drivers/pcmcia: Convert timers to use timer_setup() drivers/memstick: Convert timers to use timer_setup() drivers/macintosh: Convert timers to use timer_setup() hwrng/xgene-rng: Convert timers to use timer_setup() auxdisplay: Convert timers to use timer_setup() sparc/led: Convert timers to use timer_setup() mips: ip22/32: Convert timers to use timer_setup() ...

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip Pull irq core updates from Thomas Gleixner: "A rather large update for the interrupt core code and the irq chip drivers: - Add a new bitmap matrix allocator and supporting changes, which is used to replace the x86 vector allocator which comes with separate pull request. This allows to replace the convoluted nested loop allocation function in x86 with a facility which supports the recently added property of managed interrupts proper and allows to switch to a best effort vector reservation scheme, which addresses problems with vector exhaustion. - A large update to the ARM GIC-V3-ITS driver adding support for range selectors. - New interrupt controllers: - Meson and Meson8 GPIO - BCM7271 L2 - Socionext EXIU If you expected that this will stop at some point, I have to disappoint you. There are new ones posted already. Sigh! - STM32 interrupt controller support for new platforms. - A pile of fixes, cleanups and updates to the MIPS GIC driver - The usual small fixes, cleanups and updates all over the place.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip Pull x86 core updates from Ingo Molnar: "Note that in this cycle most of the x86 topics interacted at a level that caused them to be merged into tip:x86/asm - but this should be a temporary phenomenon, hopefully we'll back to the usual patterns in the next merge window. The main changes in this cycle were: Hardware enablement: - Add support for the Intel UMIP (User Mode Instruction Prevention) CPU feature. This is a security feature that disables certain instructions such as SGDT, SLDT, SIDT, SMSW and STR. (Ricardo Neri) [ Note that this is disabled by default for now, there are some smaller enhancements in the pipeline that I'll follow up with in the next 1-2 days, which allows this to be enabled by default.] - Add support for the AMD SEV (Secure Encrypted Virtualization) CPU feature, on top of SME (Secure Memory Encryption) support that was added in v4.14. (Tom Lendacky, Brijesh Singh) - Enable new SSE/AVX/AVX512 CPU features: AVX512_VBMI2, GFNI, VAES, VPCLMULQDQ, AVX512_VNNI, AVX512_BITALG.

(Andi Kleen) Tooling: - Completely rework the way inline frames are handled. Instead of querying for the inline nodes on-demand in the individual tools, we now create proper callchain nodes for inlined frames.

Pull OpenRISC updates from Stafford Horne: "The OpenRISC work is a bit more interesting this time, adding SMP support and a few general cleanups. Small Things: - Move OpenRISC docs into Documentation and clean them up - Document previously undocumented devicetree bindings - Update the or1ksim dts to use stdout-path OpenRISC SMP support details: - First the "use shadow registers" and "define CPU_BIG_ENDIAN as true" get the architecture ready for SMP. - The "add 1 and 2 byte cmpxchg support" and "use qspinlocks and qrwlocks" add the SMP locking infrastructure as needed. Using the qspinlocks and qrwlocks as suggested by Peter Z while reviewing the original spinlocks implementation. - The "support for ompic" adds a new irqchip device which is used for IPI communication to support SMP. - The "initial SMP support" adds smp.c and makes changes to all of the necessary data-structures to be per-cpu. The remaining patches are bug fixes and debug helpers which I wanted to keep separate from the "initial SMP support" in order to allow them to be reviewed on their own.

2017-11-08EVM: Allow userspace to signal an RSA key has been loadedMatthew Garrett1-14/+33
EVM will only perform validation once a key has been loaded. This key may either be a symmetric trusted key (for HMAC validation and creation) or the public half of an asymmetric key (for digital signature validation). The /sys/kernel/security/evm interface allows userland to signal that a symmetric key has been loaded, but does not allow userland to signal that an asymmetric public key has been loaded. This patch extends the interface to permit userspace to pass a bitmask of loaded key types. It also allows userspace to block loading of a symmetric key in order to avoid a compromised system from being able to load an additional key type later.

MIPS will soon not be a part of Imagination Technologies, and as such many @imgtec.com email addresses will no longer be valid. This patch updates the addresses for those who: - Have 10 or more patches in mainline authored using an @imgtec.com email address, or any patches dated within the past year. - Are still with Imagination but leaving as part of the MIPS business unit, as determined from an internal email address list. - Haven't already updated their email address (ie. JamesH) or expressed a desire to be excluded (ie. Maciej). - Acked v2 or earlier of this patch, which leaves Deng-Cheng, Matt & myself. New addresses are of the form firstname.lastname@mips.com, and all verified against an internal email address list. An entry is added to .mailmap for each person such that get_maintainer.pl will report the new addresses rather than @imgtec.com addresses which will soon be dead. Instances of the affected addresses throughout the tree are then mechanically replaced with the new @mips.com address.

This IPI device, the ompic, is the only external device required for enabling SMP on OpenRISC. Pending ops are stored in a memory bit mask which can allow multiple pending operations to be set and serviced at a time. This is mostly borrowed from the alpha IPI implementation.
