Pull RTC updates from Alexandre Belloni:
 "The VL_READ and VL_CLR ioctls have been reworked to be more useful.
  This will not break userspace as there are very few users and they are
  using the integer value as a boolean.

  Apart from that, two drivers were reworked and a few fixes here and
  there for a net reduction of number of lines.

  Summary:

  Subsystem:
   - the VL_READ and VL_CLR ioctls are now documented and their behavior
     is unified across all the drivers.
   - RTC_I2C_AND_SPI Kconfig option rework to avoid selecting both
     REGMAP_I2C and REGMAP_SPI unecessarily.

  Drivers:
   - at91rm9200: remove deprecated procfs, add sam9x60, sama5d4 and
     sama5d2 compatibles.
   - cmos: solve lost interrupts issue on MS Surface 3
   - hym8563: return proper errno when time is invalid
   - rv3029: many fixes, nvram support"

Pull f2fs updates from Jaegeuk Kim:
 "In this series, we've implemented transparent compression
  experimentally. It supports LZO and LZ4, but will add more later as we
  investigate in the field more.

  At this point, the feature doesn't expose compressed space to user
  directly in order to guarantee potential data updates later to the
  space. Instead, the main goal is to reduce data writes to flash disk
  as much as possible, resulting in extending disk life time as well as
  relaxing IO congestion.

  Alternatively, we're also considering to add ioctl() to reclaim
  compressed space and show it to user after putting the immutable bit.

  Enhancements:
   - add compression support
   - avoid unnecessary locks in quota ops
   - harden power-cut scenario for zoned block devices
   - use private bio_set to avoid IO congestion
   - replace GC mutex with rwsem to serialize callers

  Bug fixes:
   - fix dentry consistency and memory corruption in rename()'s error case
   - fix wrong swap extent reports
   - fix casefolding bugs
   - change lock coverage to avoid deadlock
   - avoid GFP_KERNEL under f2fs_lock_op

<title>xen/blkback: Squeeze page pools if a memory pressure is detected</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.raptorcs.com/git/blackbird-op-linux/commit/?id=cb9369bdbb84440e9a8fded7eb2d0f94014f9a8f'/>
<id>urn:sha1:cb9369bdbb84440e9a8fded7eb2d0f94014f9a8f</id>
<content type='text'>
Each `blkif` has a free pages pool for the grant mapping.  The size of
the pool starts from zero and is increased on demand while processing
the I/O requests.  If current I/O requests handling is finished or 100
milliseconds has passed since last I/O requests handling, it checks and
shrinks the pool to not exceed the size limit, `max_buffer_pages`.

Therefore, host administrators can cause memory pressure in blkback by
attaching a large number of block devices and inducing I/O.  Such
problematic situations can be avoided by limiting the maximum number of
devices that can be attached, but finding the optimal limit is not so
easy.  Improper set of the limit can results in memory pressure or a
resource underutilization.  This commit avoids such problematic
situations by squeezing the pools (returns every free page in the pool
to the system) for a while (users can set this duration via a module
parameter) if memory pressure is detected.

Discussions
===========

The `blkback`'s original shrinking mechanism returns only pages in the
pool which are not currently be used by `blkback` to the system.  In
other words, the pages that are not mapped with granted pages.  Because
this commit is changing only the shrink limit but still uses the same
freeing mechanism it does not touch pages which are currently mapping
grants.

Once memory pressure is detected, this commit keeps the squeezing limit
for a user-specified time duration.  The duration should be neither too
long nor too short.  If it is too long, the squeezing incurring overhead
can reduce the I/O performance.  If it is too short, `blkback` will not
free enough pages to reduce the memory pressure.  This commit sets the
value as `10 milliseconds` by default because it is a short time in
terms of I/O while it is a long time in terms of memory operations.
Also, as the original shrinking mechanism works for at least every 100
milliseconds, this could be a somewhat reasonable choice.  I also tested
other durations (refer to the below section for more details) and
confirmed that 10 milliseconds is the one that works best with the test.
That said, the proper duration depends on actual configurations and
workloads.  That's why this commit allows users to set the duration as a
module parameter.

Memory Pressure Test
====================

To show how this commit fixes the memory pressure situation well, I
configured a test environment on a xen-running virtualization system.
On the `blkfront` running guest instances, I attach a large number of
network-backed volume devices and induce I/O to those.  Meanwhile, I
measure the number of pages that swapped in (pswpin) and out (pswpout)
on the `blkback` running guest.  The test ran twice, once for the
`blkback` before this commit and once for that after this commit.  As
shown below, this commit has dramatically reduced the memory pressure:

                pswpin  pswpout
    before      76,672  185,799
    after          867    3,967

Optimal Aggressive Shrinking Duration
-------------------------------------

To find a best squeezing duration, I repeated the test with three
different durations (1ms, 10ms, and 100ms).  The results are as below:

    duration    pswpin  pswpout
    1           707     5,095
    10          867     3,967
    100         362     3,348

As expected, the memory pressure decreases as the duration increases,
but the reduction become slow from the `10ms`.  Based on this results, I
chose the default duration as 10ms.

Performance Overhead Test
=========================

This commit could incur I/O performance degradation under severe memory
pressure because the squeezing will require more page allocations per
I/O.  To show the overhead, I artificially made a worst-case squeezing
situation and measured the I/O performance of a `blkfront` running
guest.

For the artificial squeezing, I set the `blkback.max_buffer_pages` using
the `/sys/module/xen_blkback/parameters/max_buffer_pages` file.  In this
test, I set the value to `1024` and `0`.  The `1024` is the default
value.  Setting the value as `0` is same to a situation doing the
squeezing always (worst-case).

If the underlying block device is slow enough, the squeezing overhead
could be hidden.  For the reason, I use a fast block device, namely the
rbd[1]:

    # xl block-attach guest phy:/dev/ram0 xvdb w

For the I/O performance measurement, I run a simple `dd` command 5 times
directly to the device as below and collect the 'MB/s' results.

    $ for i in {1..5}; do dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/xvdb \
                             bs=4k count=$((256*512)); sync; done

The results are as below.  'max_pgs' represents the value of the
`blkback.max_buffer_pages` parameter.

    max_pgs   Min       Max       Median     Avg    Stddev
    0         417       423       420        419.4  2.5099801
    1024      414       425       416        417.8  4.4384682
    No difference proven at 95.0% confidence

In short, even worst case squeezing on ramdisk based fast block device
makes no visible performance degradation.  Please note that this is just
a very simple and minimal test.  On systems using super-fast block
devices and a special I/O workload, the results might be different.  If
you have any doubt, test on your machine with your workload to find the
optimal squeezing duration for you.

Pull IMA updates from Mimi Zohar:
 "Two new features - measuring certificates and querying IMA for a file
  hash - and three bug fixes:

   - Measuring certificates is like the rest of IMA, based on policy,
     but requires loading a custom policy. Certificates loaded onto a
     keyring, for example during early boot, before a custom policy has
     been loaded, are queued and only processed after loading the custom
     policy.

   - IMA calculates and caches files hashes. Other kernel subsystems,
     and possibly kernel modules, are interested in accessing these
     cached file hashes.

  The bug fixes prevent classifying a file short read (e.g. shutdown) as
  an invalid file signature, add a missing blank when displaying the

Pull power management updates from Rafael Wysocki:
 "These add ACPI support to the intel_idle driver along with an admin
  guide document for it, add support for CPR (Core Power Reduction) to
  the AVS (Adaptive Voltage Scaling) subsystem, add new hardware support
  in a few places, add some new sysfs attributes, debugfs files and
  tracepoints, fix bugs and clean up a bunch of things all over.

  Specifics:

   - Update the ACPI processor driver in order to export
     acpi_processor_evaluate_cst() to the code outside of it, add ACPI
     support to the intel_idle driver based on that and clean up that
     driver somewhat (Rafael Wysocki).

   - Add an admin guide document for the intel_idle driver (Rafael
     Wysocki).

   - Clean up cpuidle core and drivers, enable compilation testing for
     some of them (Benjamin Gaignard, Krzysztof Kozlowski, Rafael
     Wysocki, Yangtao Li).

   - Fix reference counting of OPP (operating performance points) table
     structures (Viresh Kumar).

   - Add support for CPR (Core Power Reduction) to the AVS (Adaptive
     Voltage Scaling) subsystem (Niklas Cassel, Colin Ian King,
     YueHaibing).

   - Add support for TigerLake Mobile and JasperLake to the Intel RAPL
     power capping driver (Zhang Rui).

   - Update cpufreq drivers:
      - Add i.MX8MP support to imx-cpufreq-dt (Anson Huang).
      - Fix usage of a macro in loongson2_cpufreq (Alexandre Oliva).
      - Fix cpufreq policy reference counting issues in s3c and
        brcmstb-avs (chenqiwu).
      - Fix ACPI table reference counting issue and HiSilicon quirk
        handling in the CPPC driver (Hanjun Guo).
      - Clean up spelling mistake in intel_pstate (Harry Pan).
      - Convert the kirkwood and tegra186 drivers to using
        devm_platform_ioremap_resource() (Yangtao Li).

   - Update devfreq core:
      - Add 'name' sysfs attribute for devfreq devices (Chanwoo Choi).
      - Clean up the handing of transition statistics and allow them to
        be reset by writing 0 to the 'trans_stat' devfreq device
        attribute in sysfs (Kamil Konieczny).
      - Add 'devfreq_summary' to debugfs (Chanwoo Choi).
      - Clean up kerneldoc comments and Kconfig indentation (Krzysztof
        Kozlowski, Randy Dunlap).

   - Update devfreq drivers:
      - Add dynamic scaling for the imx8m DDR controller and clean up
        imx8m-ddrc (Leonard Crestez, YueHaibing).
      - Fix DT node reference counting and nitialization error code path
        in rk3399_dmc and add COMPILE_TEST and HAVE_ARM_SMCCC dependency
        for it (Chanwoo Choi, Yangtao Li).
      - Fix DT node reference counting in rockchip-dfi and make it use
        devm_platform_ioremap_resource() (Yangtao Li).
      - Fix excessive stack usage in exynos-ppmu (Arnd Bergmann).
      - Fix initialization error code paths in exynos-bus (Yangtao Li).
      - Clean up exynos-bus and exynos somewhat (Artur Świgoń, Krzysztof
        Kozlowski).

   - Add tracepoints for tracking usage_count updates unrelated to
     status changes in PM-runtime (Michał Mirosław).

   - Add sysfs attribute to control the "sync on suspend" behavior
     during system-wide suspend (Jonas Meurer).

   - Switch system-wide suspend tests over to 64-bit time (Alexandre
     Belloni).

   - Make wakeup sources statistics in debugfs cover deleted ones which
     used to be the case some time ago (zhuguangqing).

   - Clean up computations carried out during hibernation, update
     messages related to hibernation and fix a spelling mistake in one
     of them (Wen Yang, Luigi Semenzato, Colin Ian King).

   - Add mailmap entry for maintainer e-mail address that has not been
     functional for several years (Rafael Wysocki)"
