Introduce an rq-qos policy that assigns an I/O priority to requests based
on blk-cgroup configuration settings. This policy has the following
advantages over the ioprio_set() system call:
- This policy is cgroup based so it has all the advantages of cgroups.
- While ioprio_set() does not affect page cache writeback I/O, this rq-qos
controller affects page cache writeback I/O for filesystems that support
assiociating a cgroup with writeback I/O. See also
Documentation/admin-guide/cgroup-v2.rst.

Commit bf382fb0bcef4 ("block: remove legacy IO schedulers", Oct 12 2018)
removes the CFQ scheduler, together with blkio.weight and
blkio.weight_device described in cgroup v1 documentation. Users are
supposed to use the BFQ scheduler, which cgroup file for setting weight
is blkio.bfq.weight, but there is no way to set per-device weight.
Later, commit 795fe54c2a8 per-device weights for BFQ, meaning that
blkio.bfq.weight and blkio.bfq.weight_device can be used in a way
similar to the old CFQ cgroup interface.
Yet, the cgroup v1 docs were never updated. Fix this:
- use the new file names;
- fix the range for weight (used to be 10..1000, now 1..1000);
- link to BFQ scheduler docs.

between sc and scv syscalls
The sc and scv 0 system calls have different ABI conventions, and
ptracers need to know which system call type is being used if they want
to look at the syscall registers.

Users of common properties shouldn't have a type definition as the
common schemas already have one. A few new ones slipped in and
*-names was missed in the last clean-up pass. Drop all the unnecessary
type references in the tree.
A meta-schema update to catch these is pending.

Convert the renesas,drif binding schema to use the graph schema. The
binding referred to video-interfaces.txt, but it doesn't actually use any
properties from it as 'sync-active' is a custom property. As 'sync-active'

While UTF-8 characters can be used at the Linux documentation,
the best is to use them only when ASCII doesn't offer a good replacement.
So, replace the occurences of the following UTF-8 characters:

In this specific case, EN DASH was used instead of a minus
sign. So, replace it by a single hyphen.

byte order mark (BOM). The BOM may signify endianess for
16-bit or 32-bit encodings or indicate that the text stream
is indeed Unicode. We don't need it for either of those uses.
It may also interfere with (confuse) some software.
Since we don't need it and its use is optional, just delete
the uses of it in Documentation/.

Keep the textual reference to ch9.h as it was prior to commit
caa93d9bd2d7 ("usb: Fix up movement of USB core kerneldoc location").
As linux/usb/ch9.h does not contain comments anymore, explain
that drivers/usb/common/common.c includes such header and provides
declarations of a few utilities routines for manipulating the data types
from ch9.h. Also mention that drivers/usb/common/debug.c contains
some functions for creating debug output.

Pull scheduler fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
"A set of scheduler updates:
- Prevent PSI state corruption when schedule() races with cgroup
move.
A recent commit combined two PSI callbacks to reduce the number of
cgroup tree updates, but missed that schedule() can drop rq::lock
for load balancing, which opens the race window for
cgroup_move_task() which then observes half updated state.
The fix is to solely use task::ps_flags instead of looking at the
potentially mismatching scheduler state
- Prevent an out-of-bounds access in uclamp caused bu a rounding
division which can lead to an off-by-one error exceeding the
buckets array size.
- Prevent unfairness caused by missing load decay when a task is
attached to a cfs runqueue.
The old load of the task was attached to the runqueue and never
removed. Fix it by enforcing the load update through the hierarchy
for unthrottled run queue instances.
- A documentation fix fot the 'sched_verbose' command line option"

Patch series "drivers/char: remove /dev/kmem for good".
Exploring /dev/kmem and /dev/mem in the context of memory hot(un)plug and
memory ballooning, I started questioning the existence of /dev/kmem.
Comparing it with the /proc/kcore implementation, it does not seem to be
able to deal with things like
a) Pages unmapped from the direct mapping (e.g., to be used by secretmem)
-> kern_addr_valid(). virt_addr_valid() is not sufficient.
b) Special cases like gart aperture memory that is not to be touched
-> mem_pfn_is_ram()
Unless I am missing something, it's at least broken in some cases and might
fault/crash the machine.
Looks like its existence has been questioned before in 2005 and 2010 [1],
after ~11 additional years, it might make sense to revive the discussion.
CONFIG_DEVKMEM is only enabled in a single defconfig (on purpose or by
mistake?). All distributions disable it: in Ubuntu it has been disabled
for more than 10 years, in Debian since 2.6.31, in Fedora at least
starting with FC3, in RHEL starting with RHEL4, in SUSE starting from
15sp2, and OpenSUSE has it disabled as well.
1) /dev/kmem was popular for rootkits [2] before it got disabled
basically everywhere. Ubuntu documents [3] "There is no modern user of
/dev/kmem any more beyond attackers using it to load kernel rootkits.".
RHEL documents in a BZ [5] "it served no practical purpose other than to
serve as a potential security problem or to enable binary module drivers
to access structures/functions they shouldn't be touching"
2) /proc/kcore is a decent interface to have a controlled way to read
kernel memory for debugging puposes. (will need some extensions to
deal with memory offlining/unplug, memory ballooning, and poisoned
pages, though)
3) It might be useful for corner case debugging [1]. KDB/KGDB might be a
better fit, especially, to write random memory; harder to shoot
yourself into the foot.
4) "Kernel Memory Editor" [4] hasn't seen any updates since 2000 and seems
to be incompatible with 64bit [1]. For educational purposes,
/proc/kcore might be used to monitor value updates -- or older
kernels can be used.
5) It's broken on arm64, and therefore, completely disabled there.
Looks like it's essentially unused and has been replaced by better
suited interfaces for individual tasks (/proc/kcore, KDB/KGDB). Let's
just remove it.

Patch series "background initramfs unpacking, and CONFIG_MODPROBE_PATH", v3.
These two patches are independent, but better-together.
The second is a rather trivial patch that simply allows the developer to
change "/sbin/modprobe" to something else - e.g. the empty string, so
that all request_module() during early boot return -ENOENT early, without
even spawning a usermode helper, needlessly synchronizing with the
initramfs unpacking.
The first patch delegates decompressing the initramfs to a worker thread,
allowing do_initcalls() in main.c to proceed to the device_ and late_
initcalls without waiting for that decompression (and populating of
rootfs) to finish. Obviously, some of those later calls may rely on the
initramfs being available, so I've added synchronization points in the
firmware loader and usermodehelper paths - there might be other places
that would need this, but so far no one has been able to think of any
places I have missed.
There's not much to win if most of the functionality needed during boot is
only available as modules. But systems with a custom-made .config and
initramfs can boot faster, partly due to utilizing more than one cpu
earlier, partly by avoiding known-futile modprobe calls (which would still
trigger synchronization with the initramfs unpacking, thus eliminating
most of the first benefit).
This patch (of 2):
Most of the boot process doesn't actually need anything from the
initramfs, until of course PID1 is to be executed. So instead of doing
the decompressing and populating of the initramfs synchronously in
populate_rootfs() itself, push that off to a worker thread.
This is primarily motivated by an embedded ppc target, where unpacking
even the rather modest sized initramfs takes 0.6 seconds, which is long
enough that the external watchdog becomes unhappy that it doesn't get
attention soon enough. By doing the initramfs decompression in a worker
thread, we get to do the device_initcalls and hence start petting the
watchdog much sooner.
Normal desktops might benefit as well. On my mostly stock Ubuntu kernel,
my initramfs is a 26M xz-compressed blob, decompressing to around 126M.
That takes almost two seconds:
[ 0.201454] Trying to unpack rootfs image as initramfs...
[ 1.976633] Freeing initrd memory: 29416K
Before this patch, these lines occur consecutively in dmesg. With this
patch, the timestamps on these two lines is roughly the same as above, but
with 172 lines inbetween - so more than one cpu has been kept busy doing
work that would otherwise only happen after the populate_rootfs()
finished.
Should one of the initcalls done after rootfs_initcall time (i.e., device_
and late_ initcalls) need something from the initramfs (say, a kernel
module or a firmware blob), it will simply wait for the initramfs
unpacking to be done before proceeding, which should in theory make this
completely safe.
But if some driver pokes around in the filesystem directly and not via one
of the official kernel interfaces (i.e. request_firmware*(),
call_usermodehelper*) that theory may not hold - also, I certainly might
have missed a spot when sprinkling wait_for_initramfs(). So there is an
escape hatch in the form of an initramfs_async= command line parameter.

arm64 uses SP_EL0 to save the current task_struct address. While running
in EL0, SP_EL0 is clobbered by userspace. So if the upper bit is not 1
(not TTBR1), the current address is invalid. This patch checks the upper
bit of SP_EL0, if the upper bit is 1, lx_current() of arm64 will return
the derefrence of current task. Otherwise, lx_current() will tell users
they are running in userspace(EL0).
While arm64 is running in EL0, it is actually pointless to print current
task as the memory of kernel space is not accessible in EL0.

Patch series "scripts/gdb: clarify the platforms supporting lx_current and add arm64 support", v2.
lx_current depends on per_cpu current_task variable which exists on x86
only. so it actually works on x86 only. the 1st patch documents this
clearly; the 2nd patch adds support for arm64.
This patch (of 2):
x86 is the only architecture which has per_cpu current_task:
arch$ git grep current_task | grep -i per_cpu
x86/include/asm/current.h:DECLARE_PER_CPU(struct task_struct *, current_task);
x86/kernel/cpu/common.c:DEFINE_PER_CPU(struct task_struct *, current_task) ____cacheline_aligned =
x86/kernel/cpu/common.c:EXPORT_PER_CPU_SYMBOL(current_task);
x86/kernel/cpu/common.c:DEFINE_PER_CPU(struct task_struct *, current_task) = &init_task;
x86/kernel/cpu/common.c:EXPORT_PER_CPU_SYMBOL(current_task);
x86/kernel/smpboot.c: per_cpu(current_task, cpu) = idle;
On other architectures, lx_current() will lead to a python exception:
(gdb) p $lx_current().pid
Python Exception <class 'gdb.error'> No symbol "current_task" in current context.:
Error occurred in Python: No symbol "current_task" in current context.
To avoid more people struggling and wasting time in other architectures,
document it.
