Fujitsu erratum 010001 applies to A64FX v0r0 and v1r0, and we try to
handle either by masking MIDR with MIDR_FUJITSU_ERRATUM_010001_MASK
before comparing it to MIDR_FUJITSU_ERRATUM_010001.
Unfortunately, MIDR_FUJITSU_ERRATUM_010001 is constructed incorrectly
using MIDR_VARIANT(), which is intended to extract the variant field
from MIDR_EL1, rather than generate the field in-place. This results in
MIDR_FUJITSU_ERRATUM_010001 being all-ones, and we only match A64FX
v0r0.
This patch uses MIDR_CPU_VAR_REV() to generate an in-place mask for the
variant field, ensuring the we match both v0r0 and v1r0.

without calling DRAIN DCT before, (e.g. under cleanup flow), need to
manage its creation and destruction via mlx5 core.
In that case the DRAIN DCT command will be called and only once that it
will be completed the DESTROY DCT command will be called. Otherwise, the
DESTROY DCT may fail and a hardware leak may occur.
As of that change the DRAIN DCT command should not be exposed any more

During a simple no-op (nothing changed) build I saw 39 invocations of
the C compiler with the argument "-print-file-name=include". We don't
need to call the C compiler 39 times for this--one time will suffice.
Let's change NOSTDINC_FLAGS to a simply expanded variable to avoid
this since there doesn't appear to be any reason it should be
recursively expanded.
On my build this shaved ~400 ms off my "no-op" build.
Note that the recursive expansion seems to date back to the (really
old) commit e8f5bdb02c ("[PATCH] Makefile include path ordering").
It's a little unclear to me if the point of that patch was to switch
the variable to be recursively expanded (which it did) or to avoid
directly assigning to NOSTDINC_FLAGS (AKA to switch to +=) because
someone else (out of tree?) was setting it. I presume later since if
the only goal was to switch to recursive expansion the patch would
have just removed the ":".

The of_find_device_by_node() takes a reference to the underlying device
structure, we should release that reference.
The implementation of this semantic code search is:
In a function, for a local variable returned by calling
of_find_device_by_node(),
a, if it is released by a function such as
put_device()/of_dev_put()/platform_device_put() after the last use,
it is considered that there is no reference leak;
b, if it is passed back to the caller via
dev_get_drvdata()/platform_get_drvdata()/get_device(), etc., the
reference will be released in other functions, and the current function
also considers that there is no reference leak;
c, for the rest of the situation, the current function should release the
reference by calling put_device, this code search will report the
corresponding error message.
By using this semantic code search, we have found some object reference leaks,
such as:
commit 11907e9d35 ("ASoC: fsl-asoc-card: fix object reference leaks in
fsl_asoc_card_probe")
commit a12085d139 ("mtd: rawnand: atmel: fix possible object reference leak")
commit 11493f2685 ("mtd: rawnand: jz4780: fix possible object reference leak")
There are still dozens of reference leaks in the current kernel code.
Further, for the case of b, the object returned to other functions may also
have a reference leak, we will continue to develop other cocci scripts to
further check the reference leak.

Pull pidfd system call from Christian Brauner:
"This introduces the ability to use file descriptors from /proc/<pid>/
as stable handles on struct pid. Even if a pid is recycled the handle
will not change. For a start these fds can be used to send signals to
the processes they refer to.
With the ability to use /proc/<pid> fds as stable handles on struct
pid we can fix a long-standing issue where after a process has exited
its pid can be reused by another process. If a caller sends a signal
to a reused pid it will end up signaling the wrong process.
With this patchset we enable a variety of use cases. One obvious
example is that we can now safely delegate an important part of
process management - sending signals - to processes other than the
parent of a given process by sending file descriptors around via scm
rights and not fearing that the given process will have been recycled
in the meantime. It also allows for easy testing whether a given
process is still alive or not by sending signal 0 to a pidfd which is
quite handy.
There has been some interest in this feature e.g. from systems
management (systemd, glibc) and container managers. I have requested
and gotten comments from glibc to make sure that this syscall is
suitable for their needs as well. In the future I expect it to take on
most other pid-based signal syscalls. But such features are left for
the future once they are needed.
This has been sitting in linux-next for quite a while and has not
caused any issues. It comes with selftests which verify basic
functionality and also test that a recycled pid cannot be signaled via
a pidfd.
Jon has written about a prior version of this patchset. It should
cover the basic functionality since not a lot has changed since then:

Pull device-dax updates from Dan Williams:
"New device-dax infrastructure to allow persistent memory and other
"reserved" / performance differentiated memories, to be assigned to
the core-mm as "System RAM".
Some users want to use persistent memory as additional volatile
memory. They are willing to cope with potential performance
differences, for example between DRAM and 3D Xpoint, and want to use
typical Linux memory management apis rather than a userspace memory
allocator layered over an mmap() of a dax file. The administration
model is to decide how much Persistent Memory (pmem) to use as System
RAM, create a device-dax-mode namespace of that size, and then assign
it to the core-mm. The rationale for device-dax is that it is a
generic memory-mapping driver that can be layered over any "special
purpose" memory, not just pmem. On subsequent boots udev rules can be
used to restore the memory assignment.
One implication of using pmem as RAM is that mlock() no longer keeps
data off persistent media. For this reason it is recommended to enable
NVDIMM Security (previously merged for 5.0) to encrypt pmem contents
at rest. We considered making this recommendation an actively enforced
requirement, but in the end decided to leave it as a distribution /
administrator policy to allow for emulation and test environments that
lack security capable NVDIMMs.
Summary:
- Replace the /sys/class/dax device model with /sys/bus/dax, and
include a compat driver so distributions can opt-in to the new ABI.
- Allow for an alternative driver for the device-dax address-range
- Introduce the 'kmem' driver to hotplug / assign a device-dax
address-range to the core-mm.
- Arrange for the device-dax target-node to be onlined so that the
newly added memory range can be uniquely referenced by numa apis"
NOTE! I'm not entirely happy with the whole "PMEM as RAM" model because
we currently have special - and very annoying rules in the kernel about
accessing PMEM only with the "MC safe" accessors, because machine checks
inside the regular repeat string copy functions can be fatal in some
(not described) circumstances.
And apparently the PMEM modules can cause that a lot more than regular
RAM. The argument is that this happens because PMEM doesn't necessarily
get scrubbed at boot like RAM does, but that is planned to be added for
the user space tooling.
Quoting Dan from another email:
"The exposure can be reduced in the volatile-RAM case by scanning for
and clearing errors before it is onlined as RAM. The userspace tooling
for that can be in place before v5.1-final. There's also runtime
notifications of errors via acpi_nfit_uc_error_notify() from
background scrubbers on the DIMM devices. With that mechanism the
kernel could proactively clear newly discovered poison in the volatile
case, but that would be additional development more suitable for v5.2.
I understand the concern, and the need to highlight this issue by
tapping the brakes on feature development, but I don't see PMEM as RAM
making the situation worse when the exposure is also there via DAX in
the PMEM case. Volatile-RAM is arguably a safer use case since it's
possible to repair pages where the persistent case needs active
application coordination"
