Pull power management updates from Rafael Wysocki:
"The majority of changes go into the Operating Performance Points (OPP)
framework and cpufreq this time, followed by devfreq and some
scattered updates all over.
The OPP changes are mostly related to switching over from RCU-based
synchronization, that turned out to be overly complicated and
problematic, to reference counting using krefs.
In the cpufreq land there are core cleanups, documentation updates, a
new driver for Broadcom BMIPS SoCs, a new cpufreq-dt sub-driver for TI
SoCs that require special handling, ARM64 SoCs support for the qoriq
driver, intel_pstate updates, powernv driver update and assorted
fixes.
The devfreq changes are mostly fixes related to the sysfs interface
and some Exynos drivers updates.
Apart from that, the cpuidle menu governor will support per-CPU PM QoS
constraints for the wakeup latency now, some bugs in the wakeup IRQs
framework are fixed, the generic power domains framework should handle
asynchronous invocations of *noirq suspend/resume callbacks from now
on, the analyze_suspend.py script is updated and there is a new tool
for intel_pstate diagnostics.

Pull perf updates from Ingo Molnar:
"On the kernel side the main changes in this cycle were:
- Add Intel Kaby Lake CPU support (Srinivas Pandruvada)
- AMD uncore driver updates for fam17 (Janakarajan Natarajan)
- Intel/PT updates and core events optimizations and cleanups
(Alexander Shishkin)
- cgroups events fixes (David Carrillo-Cisneros)
- kprobes improvements (Masami Hiramatsu)
- ... plus misc fixes and updates.
On the tooling side the main changes were:
- Support clang build in tools/{perf,lib/{bpf,traceevent,api}} with
CC=clang, to, for instance, take advantage of better warnings
(Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo):
- Introduce the 'delta-abs' 'perf diff' compute method, that orders
the histogram entries by the absolute value of the percentage delta
for a function in two perf.data files, i.e. the functions that
changed the most (increase or decrease in samples) comes first
(Namhyung Kim)
- Add support for parsing Intel uncore vendor event files and add
uncore vendor events for the Intel server processors (Haswell,
Broadwell, IvyBridge), Xeon Phi (Knights Landing) and Broadwell DE
(Andi Kleen)
- Introduce 'perf ftrace' a perf front end to the kernel's ftrace
function and function_graph tracer, defaulting to the
"function_graph" tracer, more work will be done in reviving this
effort, forward porting it from its initial patch submission
(Namhyung Kim)
- Add 'e' and 'c' hotkeys to expand/collapse call chains for a single
hist entry in the 'perf report' and 'perf top' TUI (Jiri Olsa)
- Account thread wait time (off CPU time) separately: sleep, iowait
and preempt, based on the prev_state of the last event, show the
breakdown when using "perf sched timehist --state" (Namhyumg Kim)
- Add more triggers to switch the output file (perf.data.TIMESTAMP).
Now, in addition to switching to a different output file when
receiving a SIGUSR2, one can also specify file size and time based
triggers:
perf record -a --switch-output=signal
is equivalent to what we had before:
perf record -a --switch-output
While we can also ask for the file to be "sliced" by size, taking
into account that that will happen only when we get woken up by the
kernel, i.e. one has to take into account the --mmap-pages (the
size of the perf mmap ring buffer):
perf record -a --switch-output=2G
will break the perf.data output into multiple files limited to 2GB
of samples, right when generating the output.
For time based samples, alert() will be used, so to have 1 minute
limited perf.data output files:
perf record -a --switch-output=1m
(Jiri Olsa)
- Improve 'perf trace' (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
- 'perf kallsyms' toy tool to look for extended symbol information on
the running kernel and demonstrate the machine/thread/symbol APIs
for use in other tools, such as 'perf probe' (Arnaldo Carvalho de
Melo)

details"

TBs of the virtual memory to the single kasan_zero_page:
kasan_zero_pud ->
kasan_zero_pmd->

kasan_zero_page
So, the page table walker used to find W+X mapping check the same
kasan_zero_p?d page table entries a lot more than once.
With patch pud walker will skip the pud if it has the same value as
the previous one . Skipping done iff we search for W+X mappings,
so this optimization won't affect the page table dump via debugfs.
This dropped time spend in W+X check from ~30 sec to reasonable 0.1 sec:

CONFIG_KASAN=y needs a lot of virtual memory mapped for its shadow.
In that case ptdump_walk_pgd_level_core() takes a lot of time to
walk across all page tables and doing this without
a rescheduling causes soft lockups:

When the TSC is marked reliable then the synchronization check is skipped,
but that also skips the TSC ADJUST sanitizing code. So on a machine with a
wreckaged BIOS the TSC deviation between CPUs might go unnoticed.
Let the TSC adjust sanitizing code run unconditionally and just skip the
expensive synchronization checks when TSC is marked reliable.

Olof reported that on a machine which has a BIOS wreckaged TSC the
timestamps in dmesg are making a large jump because the TSC value is
jumping forward after resetting the TSC ADJUST register to a sane value.
This can be avoided by calling the TSC ADJUST saniziting function before
initializing the per cpu sched clock machinery. That takes the offset into
account and avoid the time jump.
What cannot be avoided is that the 'Firmware Bug' warnings on the secondary
CPUs are printed with the large time offsets because it would be too much
effort and ugly hackery to print those warnings into a buffer and emit them
after the adjustemt on the starting CPUs. It's a firmware bug and should be
fixed in firmware. The weird timestamps are collateral damage and just
illustrate the sillyness of the BIOS folks:

Get the firmware's secure-boot status in the kernel boot wrapper and stash
it somewhere that the main kernel image can find.
The efi_get_secureboot() function is extracted from the ARM stub and (a)
generalised so that it can be called from x86 and (b) made to use
efi_call_runtime() so that it can be run in mixed-mode.
For x86, it is stored in boot_params and can be overridden by the boot
loader or kexec. This allows secure-boot mode to be passed on to a new
kernel.

Commit:
a33d331761 ("x86/CPU/AMD: Fix Bulldozer topology")
restored the initial approach we had with the Fam15h topology of
enumerating CU (Compute Unit) threads as cores. And this is still
correct - they're beefier than HT threads but still have some
shared functionality.
Our current approach has a problem with the Mad Max Steam game, for
example. Yves Dionne reported a certain "choppiness" while playing on
v4.9.5.
That problem stems most likely from the fact that the CU threads share
resources within one CU and when we schedule to a thread of a different
compute unit, this incurs latency due to migrating the working set to a
different CU through the caches.
When the thread siblings mask mirrors that aspect of the CUs and
threads, the scheduler pays attention to it and tries to schedule within
one CU first. Which takes care of the latency, of course.

Introduce ELF_HWCAP2 variable for x86 and reserve its bit 0 to expose the
ring 3 MONITOR/MWAIT.
HWCAP variables contain bitmasks which can be used by userspace
applications to detect which instruction sets are supported by CPU. On x86
architecture information about CPU capabilities can be checked via CPUID
instructions, unfortunately presence of ring 3 MONITOR/MWAIT feature cannot
be checked this way. ELF_HWCAP cannot be used as well, because on x86 it is
set to CPUID[1].EDX which means that all bits are reserved there.
HWCAP2 approach was chosen because it reuses existing solution present
in other architectures, so only minor modifications are required to the
kernel and userspace applications. When ELF_HWCAP2 is defined
kernel maps it to AT_HWCAP2 during the start of the application.
This way the ring 3 MONITOR/MWAIT feature can be detected using getauxval()
API in a simple and fast manner. ELF_HWCAP2 type is u32 to be consistent
with x86 ELF_HWCAP type.
