Allow expedited membarrier to be used for data shared between processes
through shared memory.
Processes wishing to receive the membarriers register with
MEMBARRIER_CMD_REGISTER_GLOBAL_EXPEDITED. Those which want to issue
membarrier invoke MEMBARRIER_CMD_GLOBAL_EXPEDITED.
This allows extremely simple kernel-level implementation: we have almost
everything we need with the PRIVATE_EXPEDITED barrier code. All we need
to do is to add a flag in the mm_struct that will be used to check
whether we need to send the IPI to the current thread of each CPU.
There is a slight downside to this approach compared to targeting
specific shared memory users: when performing a membarrier operation,
all registered "global" receivers will get the barrier, even if they
don't share a memory mapping with the sender issuing
MEMBARRIER_CMD_GLOBAL_EXPEDITED.
This registration approach seems to fit the requirement of not
disturbing processes that really deeply care about real-time: they
simply should not register with MEMBARRIER_CMD_REGISTER_GLOBAL_EXPEDITED.
In order to align the membarrier command names, the "MEMBARRIER_CMD_SHARED"
command is renamed to "MEMBARRIER_CMD_GLOBAL", keeping an alias of
MEMBARRIER_CMD_SHARED to MEMBARRIER_CMD_GLOBAL for UAPI header backward
compatibility.

Currently the async EQ has 256 entries only. It might not be big enough
for the SW to handle all the needed pending events. For example, in case
of many QPs (let's say 1024) connected to a SRQ created using NVMeOF target
and the target goes down, the FW will raise 1024 "last WQE reached" events
and may cause EQ overrun. Increase the EQ to more reasonable size, that beyond
it the FW should be able to delay the event and raise it later on using internal
backpressure mechanism.

need to ask the kernel, for this event, via perf_event_attr.sample_type

event, as we know it already, it is in perf_event_attr.sample_period.

The GIC supports running in External Interrupt Controller (EIC) mode,
and will signal this via cpu_has_veic if enabled in hardware. Currently
the generic kernel will panic if cpu_has_veic is set - but the GIC can
legitimately set this flag if either configured to boot in EIC mode, or
if the GIC driver enables this mode. Make the kernel not panic in this
case, and instead just check if the GIC is present. If so, use it's CPU
local interrupt routing functions. If an EIC is present, but it is not
the GIC, then the kernel does not know how to get the VIRQ for the CPU
local interrupts and should panic. Support for alternative EICs being
present is needed here for the generic kernel to support them.

When commit b27311e1ca ("MIPS: TXx9: Add RBTX4939 board support")
added board support for the RBTX4939, it added a call to
led_classdev_register even if the LED class is built as a module.
Built-in arch code cannot call module code directly like this. Commit
b33b440737 ("MIPS: TXX9: use IS_ENABLED() macro") subsequently
changed the inclusion of this code to a single check that
CONFIG_LEDS_CLASS is either builtin or a module, but the same issue
remains.
This leads to MIPS allmodconfig builds failing when CONFIG_MACH_TX49XX=y

Patchwork: https://patchwork.linux-mips.org/patch/18580/
cpufreq_resume can be called even without preceding cpufreq_suspend.
This can happen in following scenario:
suspend_devices_and_enter
--> dpm_suspend_start
--> dpm_prepare
--> device_prepare : this function errors out
--> dpm_suspend: this is skipped due to dpm_prepare failure
this means cpufreq_suspend is skipped over
--> goto Recover_platform, due to previous error
--> goto Resume_devices
--> dpm_resume_end
--> dpm_resume
--> cpufreq_resume
In case schedutil is used as frequency governor, cpufreq_resume will
eventually call sugov_start, which does following:
memset(sg_cpu, 0, sizeof(*sg_cpu));
....
This effectively erases function pointer for frequency update, causing
crash later on. The function pointer would have been set correctly if
subsequent cpufreq_add_update_util_hook runs successfully, but that
function returns earlier because cpufreq_suspend was not called:
if (WARN_ON(per_cpu(cpufreq_update_util_data, cpu)))
return;
The fix is to check cpufreq_suspended first, if it's false, that means
cpufreq_suspend was not called in the first place, so do not resume
cpufreq.

A re-factoring patch in NFS export series has passed the wrong argument
to ovl_get_inode() causing a regression in the very recent fix to
fsnotify of overlay merge dir.
The regression has caused merge directory inodes to be hashed by upper
instead of lower real inode, when NFS export and directory indexing is
disabled. That caused an inotify watch to become obsolete after directory
copy up and drop caches.
LTP test inotify07 was improved to catch this regression.
The regression also caused multiple redirect dirs to same origin not to
be detected on lookup with NFS export disabled. An xfstest was added to
cover this case.

"The next round of updates related to melted spectrum:
- The initial set of spectre V1 mitigations:
- Array index speculation blocker and its usage for syscall,
fdtable and the n180211 driver.
- Speculation barrier and its usage in user access functions
- Make indirect calls in KVM speculation safe
- Blacklisting of known to be broken microcodes so IPBP/IBSR are not
touched.
- The initial IBPB support and its usage in context switch
- The exposure of the new speculation MSRs to KVM guests.
- A fix for a regression in x86/32 related to the cpu entry area
- Proper whitelisting for known to be safe CPUs from the mitigations.
- objtool fixes to deal proper with retpolines and alternatives
- Exclude __init functions from retpolines which speeds up the boot
process.
- Removal of the syscall64 fast path and related cleanups and
simplifications
- Removal of the unpatched paravirt mode which is yet another source
of indirect unproteced calls.
- A new and undisputed version of the module mismatch warning
- A couple of cleanup and correctness fixes all over the place
Yet another step towards full mitigation. There are a few things still
missing like the RBS underflow mitigation for Skylake and other small
details, but that's being worked on.
That said, I'm taking a belated christmas vacation for a week and hope

"A small set of changes:
- a fixup for kexec related to 5-level paging mode. That covers most
of the cases except kexec from a 5-level kernel to a 4-level
kernel. The latter needs more work and is going to come in 4.17
- two trivial fixes for build warnings triggered by LTO and gcc-8"
