git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm Pull power management and ACPI fixes from Rafael Wysocki: "These are fixes mostly, for a few changes made in this cycle (the intel_idle driver, the OPP library, the ACPI EC driver, turbostat) and for some issues that have just been discovered (ACPI PCI IRQ management, PCI power management documentation, turbostat), with a couple of cleanups on top of them. Specifics: - intel_idle driver fixup for the recently added Skylake chips support (Len Brown). - Operating Performance Points (OPP) library fix related to the recently added support for new DT bindings and a fix for a typo in a comment (Viresh Kumar, Stephen Boyd). - ACPI EC driver fix for a recently introduced memory leak in an error code path (Lv Zheng). - ACPI PCI IRQ management fix for the issue where an ISA IRQ is shared with a PCI device which requires it to be configured in a different way and may cause an interrupt storm to happen as a result with an extra ACPI SCI IRQ handling simplification on top of it (Jiang Liu). - Update of the PCI power management documentation that became outdated and started to actively confuse the readers to make it actually reflect the code (Rafael J Wysocki). - turbostat fixes including an IVB Xeon regression fix (related to the --debug command line option), Skylake adjustment for the TSC running at a frequency that doesn't match the base one exactly, and a Knights Landing quirk to account for the fact that it only updates APERF and MPERF every 1024 clock cycles plus bumping up the turbostat version number (Len Brown, Hubert Chrzaniuk)" * tag 'pm+acpi-4.3-rc4' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm: tools/power turbosat: update version number tools/power turbostat: SKL: Adjust for TSC difference from base frequency tools/power turbostat: KNL workaround for %Busy and Avg_MHz tools/power turbostat: IVB Xeon: fix --debug regression ACPI / PCI: Remove duplicated penalty on SCI IRQ ACPI, PCI, irq: Do not share PCI IRQ with ISA IRQ ACPI / EC: Fix a memory leak issue in acpi_ec_query() PM / OPP: Fix typo modifcation -> modification PCI / PM: Update runtime PM documentation for PCI devices PM / OPP: of_property_count_u32_elems() can return errors intel_idle: Skylake Client Support - updated

2015-09-25MODSIGN: Change from CMS to PKCS#7 signing if the openssl is too oldDavid Howells1-1/+1
The sign-file.c program actually uses CMS rather than PKCS#7 to sign a file since that allows the target X.509 certificate to be specified by subjectKeyId rather than by issuer + serialNumber. However, older versions of the OpenSSL crypto library (such as may be found in CentOS 5.11) don't support CMS. Assume everything prior to OpenSSL-1.0.0 doesn't support CMS and switch to using PKCS#7 in that case. Further, the pre-1.0.0 OpenSSL only supports PKCS#7 signing with SHA1, so give an error from the sign-file script if the caller requests anything other than SHA1. The compiler gives the following error with an OpenSSL crypto library that's too old: HOSTCC scripts/sign-file scripts/sign-file.c:23:25: fatal error: openssl/cms.h: No such file or directory #include <openssl/cms.h> Reported-by: Vinson Lee <vlee@twopensource.com> Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Acked-by: David Woodhouse <David.Woodhouse@intel.com>

The idle-states bindings mandate that the entry-method string in the idle-states node must be "psci" for ARM v8 64-bit systems, but the examples in the bindings report a wrong entry-method string. Owing to this typo, some dts in the kernel wrongly defined the entry-method property, since they likely cut and pasted the example definition without paying attention to the bindings definitions. This patch fixes the typo in the DT idle states bindings examples and respective dts in the kernel so that the bindings and related dts files are made compliant.

Commit 1e6db000482fa65a ("irqchip/gicv3-its: Add platform MSI support") added support per this binding, but failed to update the documentation. This patch fixes the documentation.

2015-09-14thermal: power_allocator: relax the requirement of two passive trip pointsJavi Merino1-1/+1
The power allocator governor currently requires that the thermal zone has at least two passive trip points. If there aren't, the governor refuses to bind to the thermal zone. This commit relaxes that requirement. Now the governor will bind to all thermal zones regardless of how many trip points they have.

Pull blk-cg updates from Jens Axboe: "A bit later in the cycle, but this has been in the block tree for a a while. This is basically four patchsets from Tejun, that improve our buffered cgroup writeback. It was dependent on the other cgroup changes, but they went in earlier in this cycle. Series 1 is set of 5 patches that has cgroup writeback updates: - bdi_writeback iteration fix which could lead to some wb's being skipped or repeated during e.g. sync under memory pressure. - Simplification of wb work wait mechanism. - Writeback tracepoints updated to report cgroup. Series 2 is is a set of updates for the CFQ cgroup writeback handling: cfq has always charged all async IOs to the root cgroup. It didn't have much choice as writeback didn't know about cgroups and there was no way to tell who to blame for a given writeback IO. writeback finally grew support for cgroups and now tags each writeback IO with the appropriate cgroup to charge it against. This patchset updates cfq so that it follows the blkcg each bio is tagged with. Async cfq_queues are now shared across cfq_group, which is per-cgroup, instead of per-request_queue cfq_data. This makes all IOs follow the weight based IO resource distribution implemented by cfq. - Switched from GFP_ATOMIC to GFP_NOWAIT as suggested by Jeff. - Other misc review points addressed, acks added and rebased. Series 3 is the blkcg policy cleanup patches: This patchset contains assorted cleanups for blkcg_policy methods and blk[c]g_policy_data handling. - alloc/free added for blkg_policy_data. exit dropped. - alloc/free added for blkcg_policy_data. - blk-throttle's async percpu allocation is replaced with direct allocation. - all methods now take blk[c]g_policy_data instead of blkcg_gq or blkcg. And finally, series 4 is a set of patches cleaning up the blkcg stats handling: blkcg's stats have always been somwhat of a mess. This patchset tries to improve the situation a bit. - The following patches added to consolidate blkcg entry point and blkg creation. This is in itself is an improvement and helps colllecting common stats on bio issue. - per-blkg stats now accounted on bio issue rather than request completion so that bio based and request based drivers can behave the same way. The issue was spotted by Vivek. - cfq-iosched implements custom recursive stats and blk-throttle implements custom per-cpu stats. This patchset make blkcg core support both by default. - cfq-iosched and blk-throttle keep track of the same stats multiple times.

2015-09-10proc: export idle flag via kpageflagsVladimir Davydov1-0/+7
As noted by Minchan, a benefit of reading idle flag from /proc/kpageflags is that one can easily filter dirty and/or unevictable pages while estimating the size of unused memory. Note that idle flag read from /proc/kpageflags may be stale in case the page was accessed via a PTE, because it would be too costly to iterate over all page mappings on each /proc/kpageflags read to provide an up-to-date value. To make sure the flag is up-to-date one has to read /sys/kernel/mm/page_idle/bitmap first.

2015-09-10mm: introduce idle page trackingVladimir Davydov2-0/+100
Knowing the portion of memory that is not used by a certain application or memory cgroup (idle memory) can be useful for partitioning the system efficiently, e.g. by setting memory cgroup limits appropriately. Currently, the only means to estimate the amount of idle memory provided by the kernel is /proc/PID/{clear_refs,smaps}: the user can clear the access bit for all pages mapped to a particular process by writing 1 to clear_refs, wait for some time, and then count smaps:Referenced. However, this method has two serious shortcomings: - it does not count unmapped file pages - it affects the reclaimer logic To overcome these drawbacks, this patch introduces two new page flags, Idle and Young, and a new sysfs file, /sys/kernel/mm/page_idle/bitmap. A page's Idle flag can only be set from userspace by setting bit in /sys/kernel/mm/page_idle/bitmap at the offset corresponding to the page, and it is cleared whenever the page is accessed either through page tables (it is cleared in page_referenced() in this case) or using the read(2) system call (mark_page_accessed()). Thus by setting the Idle flag for pages of a particular workload, which can be found e.g. by reading /proc/PID/pagemap, waiting for some time to let the workload access its working set, and then reading the bitmap file, one can estimate the amount of pages that are not used by the workload. The Young page flag is used to avoid interference with the memory reclaimer. A page's Young flag is set whenever the Access bit of a page table entry pointing to the page is cleared by writing to the bitmap file. If page_referenced() is called on a Young page, it will add 1 to its return value, therefore concealing the fact that the Access bit was cleared. Note, since there is no room for extra page flags on 32 bit, this feature uses extended page flags when compiled on 32 bit.
