Direct reclaim stats are useful for identifying a potential source for
application latency, as well as spotting issues with kswapd. However,
khugepaged currently distorts the picture: as a kernel thread it doesn't
impose allocation latencies on userspace, and it explicitly opts out of
kswapd reclaim. Its activity showing up in the direct reclaim stats is
misleading. Counting it as kswapd reclaim could also cause confusion when
trying to understand actual kswapd behavior.
Break out khugepaged from the direct reclaim counters into new
pgsteal_khugepaged, pgdemote_khugepaged, pgscan_khugepaged counters.
Test with a huge executable (CONFIG_READ_ONLY_THP_FOR_FS):
pgsteal_kswapd 1342185
pgsteal_direct 0
pgsteal_khugepaged 3623
pgscan_kswapd 1345025
pgscan_direct 0
pgscan_khugepaged 3623

DAMON debugfs interface assumes the users will write all inputs at once.
However, redirecting a string of multiple lines sometimes end up writing
line by line. Therefore, the example usage of 'init_regions' file, which
writes input as a string of multiple lines can fail. Fix it to use a
single line string instead. Also update the description of the usage to
not assume users will write inputs in multiple lines.

The PMU support to filter the TLP when counting the bandwidth with below

- only count the TLP headers
- only count the TLP payloads
- count both TLP headers and payloads
In the current driver it's default to count the TLP payloads only, which
will have an implicity side effects that on the traffic only have header
only TLPs, we'll get no data.
Make this user configuration through "len_mode" parameter and make it

A virtual stateless device for stateless uAPI development purposes.
This tool's objective is to help the development and testing of
userspace applications that use the V4L2 stateless API to decode media.
A userspace implementation can use visl to run a decoding loop even when
no hardware is available or when the kernel uAPI for the codec has not
been upstreamed yet. This can reveal bugs at an early stage.
This driver can also trace the contents of the V4L2 controls submitted
to it. It can also dump the contents of the vb2 buffers through a
debugfs interface. This is in many ways similar to the tracing
infrastructure available for other popular encode/decode APIs out there
and can help develop a userspace application by using another (working)
one as a reference.
Note that no actual decoding of video frames is performed by visl. The
V4L2 test pattern generator is used to write various debug information
to the capture buffers instead.

Allow triggers to be enabled at kernel boot up. For example:
trace_trigger="sched_switch.stacktrace if prev_state == 2"
The above will enable the stacktrace trigger on top of the sched_switch
event and only trigger if its prev_state is 2 (TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE). Then
at boot up, a stacktrace will trigger and be recorded in the tracing ring
buffer every time the sched_switch happens where the previous state is
TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE.
Another useful trigger would be "traceoff" which can stop tracing on an
event if a field of the event matches a certain value defined by the
filter ("if" statement).

Add a new Kconfig for the accel subsystem. The Kconfig currently
contains only the basic CONFIG_DRM_ACCEL option that will be used to
decide whether to compile the accel registration code. Therefore, the
kconfig option is defined as bool.
The accel code will be compiled as part of drm.ko and will be called
directly from the DRM core code. The reason we compile it as part of
drm.ko and not as a separate module is because of cyclic dependency
between drm.ko and the separate module (if it would have existed).
This is due to the fact that DRM core code calls accel functions and
vice-versa.
The accelerator devices will be exposed to the user space with a new,
dedicated major number - 261.
The accel init function registers the new major number as a char device
and create corresponding sysfs and debugfs root entries, similar to
what is done in DRM init function.
I added a new header called drm_accel.h to include/drm/, that will hold
the prototypes of the drm_accel.c functions. In case CONFIG_DRM_ACCEL
is set to 'N', that header will contain empty inline implementations of
those functions, to allow DRM core code to compile successfully
without dependency on CONFIG_DRM_ACCEL.
I Updated the MAINTAINERS file accordingly with the newly added folder
and I have taken the liberty to appropriate the dri-devel mailing list
and the dri-devel IRC channel for the accel subsystem.

It's very unusual to have both a command line option and a compile time
option, and apparently that's confusing to people. Also, basically
everybody enables the compile time option now, which means people who
want to disable this wind up having to use the command line option to
ensure that anyway. So just reduce the number of moving pieces and nix
the compile time option in favor of the more versatile command line
option.

Move the nomodeset kernel parameter to drivers/video to make it
available to non-DRM drivers. Adapt the interface, but keep the DRM
interface drm_firmware_drivers_only() to avoid churn within DRM. The
function should later be inlined into callers.
The parameter disables any DRM graphics driver that would replace a
driver for firmware-provided scanout buffers. It is an option to easily
fallback to basic graphics output if the hardware's native driver is
broken. Moving it to a more prominent location wil make it available
to fbdev as well.

Commit b041b525da ("x86/split_lock: Make life miserable for split lockers")
changed the way the split lock detector works when in "warn" mode;
basically, it not only shows the warn message, but also intentionally
introduces a slowdown through sleeping plus serialization mechanism
on such task. Based on discussions in [0], seems the warning alone
wasn't enough motivation for userspace developers to fix their
applications.
This slowdown is enough to totally break some proprietary (aka.
unfixable) userspace[1].
Happens that originally the proposal in [0] was to add a new mode
which would warns + slowdown the "split locking" task, keeping the
old warn mode untouched. In the end, that idea was discarded and
the regular/default "warn" mode now slows down the applications. This
is quite aggressive with regards proprietary/legacy programs that
basically are unable to properly run in kernel with this change.
While it is understandable that a malicious application could DoS
by split locking, it seems unacceptable to regress old/proprietary
userspace programs through a default configuration that previously
worked. An example of such breakage was reported in [1].
Add a sysctl to allow controlling the "misery mode" behavior, as per
Thomas suggestion on [2]. This way, users running legacy and/or
proprietary software are allowed to still execute them with a decent
performance while still observing the warning messages on kernel log.

Using z/VM the 3270 terminal emulator also emulates an IBM 3215 console
which outputs line by line. When the screen is full, the console enters
the MORE... state and waits for the operator to confirm the data
on the screen by pressing a clear key. If this does not happen in the
default time frame (currently 50 seconds) the console enters the HOLDING
state.
It then waits another time frame (currently 10 seconds) before the output
continues on the next screen. When the operator presses the clear key
during these wait times, the output continues immediately.
This may lead to a very long boot time when the console
has to print many messages, also the system may hang because of the
console's limited buffer space and the system waits for the console
output to drain and finally to finish. This problem can only occur
when a terminal emulator is actually connected to the 3215 console
driver. If not z/VM simply drops console output.
Remedy this rare situation and add a kernel boot command line parameter
con3215_drop. It can be set to 0 (do not drop) or 1 (do drop) which is
the default. This instructs the kernel drop console data when the
console buffer is full. This speeds up the boot time considerable and
also does not hang the system anymore.
Add a sysfs attribute file for console IBM 3215 named con_drop.
This allows for changing the behavior after the boot, for example when
during interactive debugging a panic/crash is expected.
Here is a test of the new behavior using the following test program:
#/bin/bash
declare -i cnt=4
mode=$(cat /sys/bus/ccw/drivers/3215/con_drop)
[ $mode = yes ] && cnt=25
echo "cons_drop $(cat /sys/bus/ccw/drivers/3215/con_drop)"

vmcp term more 5 2

done
echo "droptest done" > /dev/kmsg

Details:
Enable function raw3215_write() to handle tab expansion and newlines
and feed it with input not larger than the console buffer of 65536
bytes. Function raw3125_putchar() just forwards its character for
output to raw3215_write().
This moves tab to blank conversion to one function raw3215_write()
which also does call raw3215_make_room() to wait for enough free
buffer space.
Function handle_write() loops over all its input and segments input
into chunks of console buffer size (should the input be larger).
Rework tab expansion handling logic to avoid code duplication.

percpu: add percpu_counter_add_local and percpu_counter_sub_local
fs/ocfs2: fix repeated words in comments
relay: use kvcalloc to alloc page array in relay_alloc_page_array
proc: make config PROC_CHILDREN depend on PROC_FS
fs: uninline inode_maybe_inc_iversion()
...
Instead of always doing the safe variants for reading and writing MSRs
in Xen PV guests, make the behavior controllable via Kconfig option
and a boot parameter.
The default will be the current behavior, which is to always use the
safe variant.

Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:
- Yu Zhao's Multi-Gen LRU patches are here. They've been under test in
linux-next for a couple of months without, to my knowledge, any
negative reports (or any positive ones, come to that).
- Also the Maple Tree from Liam Howlett. An overlapping range-based
tree for vmas. It it apparently slightly more efficient in its own
right, but is mainly targeted at enabling work to reduce mmap_lock
contention.
Liam has identified a number of other tree users in the kernel which
could be beneficially onverted to mapletrees.
Yu Zhao has identified a hard-to-hit but "easy to fix" lockdep splat
at [1]. This has yet to be addressed due to Liam's unfortunately
timed vacation. He is now back and we'll get this fixed up.
- Dmitry Vyukov introduces KMSAN: the Kernel Memory Sanitizer. It uses
clang-generated instrumentation to detect used-unintialized bugs down
to the single bit level.
KMSAN keeps finding bugs. New ones, as well as the legacy ones.
- Yang Shi adds a userspace mechanism (madvise) to induce a collapse of
memory into THPs.
- Zach O'Keefe has expanded Yang Shi's madvise(MADV_COLLAPSE) to
support file/shmem-backed pages.
- userfaultfd updates from Axel Rasmussen
- zsmalloc cleanups from Alexey Romanov
- cleanups from Miaohe Lin: vmscan, hugetlb_cgroup, hugetlb and
memory-failure

Pull iommu updates from Joerg Roedel:
- remove the bus_set_iommu() interface which became unnecesary because
of IOMMU per-device probing
