2019-04-22x86/kdump: Fall back to reserve high crashkernel memoryDave Young
crashkernel=xM tries to reserve memory for the crash kernel under 4G, which is enough, usually. But this could fail sometimes, for example when one tries to reserve a big chunk like 2G, for example. So let the crashkernel=xM just fall back to use high memory in case it fails to find a suitable low range. Do not set the ,high as default because it allocates extra low memory for DMA buffers and swiotlb, and this is not always necessary for all machines. Typically, crashkernel=128M usually works with low reservation under 4G, so keep <4G as default.

2019-04-17cpu/speculation: Add 'mitigations=' cmdline optionJosh Poimboeuf
Keeping track of the number of mitigations for all the CPU speculation bugs has become overwhelming for many users. It's getting more and more complicated to decide which mitigations are needed for a given architecture. Complicating matters is the fact that each arch tends to have its own custom way to mitigate the same vulnerability. Most users fall into a few basic categories: a) they want all mitigations off; b) they want all reasonable mitigations on, with SMT enabled even if it's vulnerable; or c) they want all reasonable mitigations on, with SMT disabled if vulnerable. Define a set of curated, arch-independent options, each of which is an aggregation of existing options: - mitigations=off: Disable all mitigations. - mitigations=auto: [default] Enable all the default mitigations, but leave SMT enabled, even if it's vulnerable. - mitigations=auto,nosmt: Enable all the default mitigations, disabling SMT if needed by a mitigation. Currently, these options are placeholders which don't actually do anything. They will be fleshed out in upcoming patches.

2019-03-26rcu: Allow rcu_nocbs= to specify all CPUsPaul E. McKenney
Currently, the rcu_nocbs= kernel boot parameter requires that a specific list of CPUs be specified, and has no way to say "all of them". As noted by user RavFX in a comment to Phoronix topic 1002538, this is an inconvenient side effect of the removal of the RCU_NOCB_CPU_ALL Kconfig option. This commit therefore enables the rcu_nocbs= kernel boot parameter to be given the string "all", as in "rcu_nocbs=all" to specify that all CPUs on the system are to have their RCU callbacks offloaded. Another approach would be to make cpulist_parse() check for "all", but there are uses of cpulist_parse() that do other checking, which could conflict with an "all". This commit therefore focuses on the specific use of cpulist_parse() in rcu_nocb_setup(). Just a note to other people who would like changes to Linux-kernel RCU: If you send your requests to me directly, they might get fixed somewhat faster. RavFX's comment was posted on January 22, 2018 and I first saw it on March 5, 2019. And the only reason that I found it -at- -all- was that I was looking for projects using RCU, and my search engine showed me that Phoronix comment quite by accident. Your choice, though! ;-) Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.ibm.com>

On Chrome OS we want to use USBguard to potentially limit access to USB devices based on policy. We however to do not want to wait for userspace to come up before initializing fixed USB devices to not regress our boot times. This patch adds option to instruct the kernel to only authorize devices connected to the internal ports. Previously we could either authorize all or none (or, by default, we'd only authorize wired devices). The behavior is controlled via usbcore.authorized_default command line option.

The netfilter conflicts were rather simple overlapping changes. However, the cls_tcindex.c stuff was a bit more complex. On the 'net' side, Cong is fixing several races and memory leaks. Whilst on the 'net-next' side we have Vlad adding the rtnl-ness support. 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.

2019-02-14async: Add cmdline option to specify drivers to be async probedFeng Tang
Asynchronous driver probing can help much on kernel fastboot, and this option can provide a flexible way to optimize and quickly verify async driver probe. Also it will help in below cases: * Some driver actually covers several families of HWs, some of which could use async probing while others don't. So we can't simply turn on the PROBE_PREFER_ASYNCHRONOUS flag in driver, but use this cmdline option, like igb driver async patch discussed at https://www.spinics.net/lists/netdev/msg545986.html * For SOC (System on Chip) with multiple spi or i2c controllers, most of the slave spi/i2c devices will be assigned with fixed controller number, while async probing may make those controllers get different index for each boot, which prevents those controller drivers to be async probed. For platforms not using these spi/i2c slave devices, they can use this cmdline option to benefit from the async probing.

2019-02-04efi/x86: Convert x86 EFI earlyprintk into generic earlycon implementationArd Biesheuvel
Move the x86 EFI earlyprintk implementation to a shared location under drivers/firmware and tweak it slightly so we can expose it as an earlycon implementation (which is generic) rather than earlyprintk (which is only implemented for a few architectures) This also involves switching to write-combine mappings by default (which is required on ARM since device mappings lack memory semantics, and so memcpy/memset may not be used on them), and adding support for shared memory framebuffers on cache coherent non-x86 systems (which do not tolerate mismatched attributes). Note that 32-bit ARM does not populate its struct screen_info early enough for earlycon=efifb to work, so it is disabled there.

Commit 765b6a98c1de3 ("iommu/vt-d: Enumerate the scalable mode capability") enables VT-d scalable mode if hardware advertises the capability. 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.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip Pull RCU updates from Ingo Molnar: "The biggest RCU changes in this cycle were: - Convert RCU's BUG_ON() and similar calls to WARN_ON() and similar. - Replace calls of RCU-bh and RCU-sched update-side functions to their vanilla RCU counterparts. This series is a step towards complete removal of the RCU-bh and RCU-sched update-side functions. ( Note that some of these conversions are going upstream via their respective maintainers. ) - Documentation updates, including a number of flavor-consolidation updates from Joel Fernandes. - Miscellaneous fixes. - Automate generation of the initrd filesystem used for rcutorture testing. - Convert spin_is_locked() assertions to instead use lockdep.
