First, it includes timer wakeups in the pattern detection data and mixes them up with wakeups from other sources which in some cases causes it to expect what essentially would be a timer wakeup in a time frame in which no timer wakeups are possible (because it knows the time until the next timer event and that is later than the expected wakeup time). Second, it uses the extra exit latency limit based on the predicted idle duration and depending on the number of tasks waiting on I/O, even though those tasks may run on a different CPU when they are woken up. Moreover, the time ranges used by it for the sleep length correction factors depend on whether or not there are tasks waiting on I/O, which again doesn't imply anything in particular, and they are not correlated to the list of available idle states in any way whatever. Also, the pattern detection code in menu may end up considering values that are too large to matter at all, in which cases running it is a waste of time. A major rework of the menu governor would be required to address these issues and the performance of at least some workloads (tuned specifically to the current behavior of the menu governor) is likely to suffer from that. It is thus better to introduce an entirely new governor without them and let everybody use the governor that works better with their actual workloads. The new governor introduced here, the timer events oriented (TEO) governor, uses the same basic strategy as menu: it always tries to find the deepest idle state that can be used in the given conditions. However, it applies a different approach to that problem. First, it doesn't use "correction factors" for the time till the closest timer, but instead it tries to correlate the measured idle duration values with the available idle states and use that information to pick up the idle state that is most likely to "match" the upcoming CPU idle interval. Second, it doesn't take the number of "I/O waiters" into account at all and the pattern detection code in it avoids taking timer wakeups into account. It also only uses idle duration values less than the current time till the closest timer (with the tick excluded) for that purpose. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

| * | | | | | | mm: memcontrol: expose THP events on a per-memcg basisChris Down2019-03-051-0/+16

This patch makes it easier to reason about transparent hugepage behaviour on a per-memcg basis. For anonymous THP-backed pages, we already have MEMCG_RSS_HUGE in v1, which is used for v1's rss_huge [sic]. This is reused here as it's fairly involved to untangle NR_ANON_THPS right now to make it per-memcg, since right now some of this is delegated to rmap before we have any memcg actually assigned to the page. It's a good idea to rework that, but let's leave untangling THP allocation for a future patch.

Nowadays, it is only a marker that a page is part of virtio-balloon and therefore logically offline. We also want to make use of this flag in other balloon drivers - for inflated pages or when onlining a section but keeping some pages offline (e.g. used right now by XEN and Hyper-V via set_online_page_callback()). We are going to expose this flag to dump tools like makedumpfile. But instead of exposing PG_balloon, let's generalize the concept of marking pages as logically offline, so it can be reused for other purposes later on. Rename PG_balloon to PG_offline. This is an indicator that the page is logically offline, the content stale and that it should not be touched (e.g. a hypervisor would have to allocate backing storage in order for the guest to dump an unused page). We can then e.g. exclude such pages from dumps. We replace and reuse KPF_BALLOON (23), as this shouldn't really harm (and for now the semantics stay the same). In following patches, we will make use of this bit also in other balloon drivers. While at it, document PGTABLE.

Note that 32-bit ARM does not populate its struct screen_info early enough for earlycon=efifb to work, so it is disabled there.

What I've decided to do, in order to resolve this, is revert the conversion over to using a workqueue that Cong did, bringing us back to pure RCU. I did it this way because I believe that either Cong's races don't apply with have Vlad did things, or Cong will have to implement the race fix slightly differently. Signed-off-by: David S.

As we will bring up different features and use cases to upstream in different patch series, it will leave some intermediate kernel versions which support partial features. Hence, end user might run into problems when they use such kernels on bare metals or virtualization environments. This leaves scalable mode default off and end users could turn it on with "intel-iommu=sm_on" only when they have clear ideas about which scalable features are supported in the kernel.

The cpuset controller had experienced feature creep since its introduction more than a decade ago. Besides the core cpus and mems control files to limit cpus and memory nodes, there are a bunch of additional features that can be controlled from the userspace. Some of the features are of doubtful usefulness and may not be actively used. This patch enables cpuset controller in the default hierarchy with a minimal set of features, namely just the cpus and mems and their effective_* counterparts. We can certainly add more features to the default hierarchy in the future if there is a real user need for them later on. Alternatively, with the unified hiearachy, it may make more sense to move some of those additional cpuset features, if desired, to memory controller or may be to the cpu controller instead of staying with cpuset.

In practice this means that Thunderbolt connected devices are placed behind an IOMMU during the whole time it is connected (including during boot) making Thunderbolt security levels redundant. This is called Kernel DMA protection [1] by Microsoft. Some of these systems still have Thunderbolt security level set to "user" in order to support OS downgrade (the older version of the OS might not support IOMMU based DMA protection so connecting a device still relies on user approval). Export this information to userspace by introducing a new sysfs attribute (iommu_dma_protection). Based on it userspace tools can make more accurate decision whether or not authorize the connected device. In addition update Thunderbolt documentation regarding IOMMU based DMA protection.

Larger than usual, it was a busy round with lots of goodies queued up. Most notable is the removal of the old IO stack, which has been a long time coming. No new features for a while, everything coming in this week has all been fixes for things that were previously merged. This contains: - Use atomic counters instead of semaphores for mtip32xx (Arnd) - Cleanup of the mtip32xx request setup (Christoph) - Fix for circular locking dependency in loop (Jan, Tetsuo) - bcache (Coly, Guoju, Shenghui) * Optimizations for writeback caching * Various fixes and improvements - nvme (Chaitanya, Christoph, Sagi, Jay, me, Keith) * host and target support for NVMe over TCP * Error log page support * Support for separate read/write/poll queues * Much improved polling * discard OOM fallback * Tracepoint improvements - lightnvm (Hans, Hua, Igor, Matias, Javier) * Igor added packed metadata to pblk. Now drives without metadata per LBA can be used as well. * Fix from Geert on uninitialized value on chunk metadata reads. * Fixes from Hans and Javier to pblk recovery and write path. * Fix from Hua Su to fix a race condition in the pblk recovery code. * Scan optimization added to pblk recovery from Zhoujie. * Small geometry cleanup from me. - Conversion of the last few drivers that used the legacy path to blk-mq (me) - Removal of legacy IO path in SCSI (me, Christoph) - Removal of legacy IO stack and schedulers (me) - Support for much better polling, now without interrupts at all. blk-mq adds support for multiple queue maps, which enables us to have a map per type. This in turn enables nvme to have separate completion queues for polling, which can then be interrupt-less. Also means we're ready for async polled IO, which is hopefully coming in the next release. - Killing of (now) unused block exports (Christoph) - Unification of the blk-rq-qos and blk-wbt wait handling (Josef) - Support for zoned testing with null_blk (Masato) - sx8 conversion to per-host tag sets (Christoph) - IO priority improvements (Damien) - mq-deadline zoned fix (Damien) - Ref count blkcg series (Dennis) - Lots of blk-mq improvements and speedups (me) - sbitmap scalability improvements (me) - Make core inflight IO accounting per-cpu (Mikulas) - Export timeout setting in sysfs (Weiping) - Cleanup the direct issue path (Jianchao) - Export blk-wbt internals in block debugfs for easier debugging (Ming) - Lots of other fixes and improvements" * tag 'for-4.21/block-20181221' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block: (364 commits) kyber: use sbitmap add_wait_queue/list_del wait helpers sbitmap: add helpers for add/del wait queue handling block: save irq state in blkg_lookup_create() dm: don't reuse bio for flushes nvme-pci: trace SQ status on completions nvme-rdma: implement polling queue map nvme-fabrics: allow user to pass in nr_poll_queues nvme-fabrics: allow nvmf_connect_io_queue to poll nvme-core: optionally poll sync commands block: make request_to_qc_t public nvme-tcp: fix spelling mistake "attepmpt" -> "attempt" nvme-tcp: fix endianess annotations nvmet-tcp: fix endianess annotations nvme-pci: refactor nvme_poll_irqdisable to make sparse happy nvme-pci: only set nr_maps to 2 if poll queues are supported nvmet: use a macro for default error location nvmet: fix comparison of a u16 with -1 blk-mq: enable IO poll if .nr_queues of type poll > 0 blk-mq: change blk_mq_queue_busy() to blk_mq_queue_inflight() blk-mq: skip zero-queue maps in blk_mq_map_swqueue ...

Back to business and the pull request itself: Ondrej has five patches in this pull request and I lump them into three categories: one patch to always allow submounts (using similar logic to elsewhere in the kernel), one to fix some issues with the SELinux policydb, and the others to cleanup and improve the SELinux sidtab.

With this last pull request of the year, I want to thank everyone who has contributed patches, testing, and reviews to the SELinux project this year, and the past 18 years.
