irq-core-2020-03-30

Updates for the interrupt subsystem:

  Treewide:

    - Cleanup of setup_irq() which is not longer required because the
      memory allocator is available early. Most cleanup changes come
      through the various maintainer trees, so the final removal of
      setup_irq() is postponed towards the end of the merge window.

  Core:

    - Protection against unsafe invocation of interrupt handlers and unsafe
      interrupt injection including a fixup of the offending PCI/AER error
      injection mechanism.

      Invoking interrupt handlers from arbitrary contexts, i.e. outside of
      an actual interrupt, can cause inconsistent state on the fragile
      x86 interrupt affinity changing hardware trainwreck.

  Drivers:

    - Second wave of support for the new ARM GICv4.1
    - Multi-instance support for Xilinx and PLIC interrupt controllers
    - CPU-Hotplug support for PLIC
    - The obligatory new driver for X1000 TCU
    - Enhancements, cleanups and fixes all over the place

media updates for v5.7-rc1

ras_updates_for_5.7

* Do not report spurious MCEs on some Intel platforms caused by errata;
by Prarit Bhargava.

* Change dev-mcelog's hardcoded limit of 32 error records to a dynamic
one, controlled by the number of logical CPUs, by Tony Luck.

* Add support for the processor identification number (PPIN) on AMD, by
Wei Huang.

x86-urgent-2020-03-29

A single fix to unbreak the build for CONFIG_EFI=n by adding a missing
IS_ENABLED() check.

timers-urgent-2020-03-29

A single fix for the Hyper-V clocksource driver to make sched clock
actually return nanoseconds and not the virtual clock value which
increments at 10e7 HZ (100ns).

perf-urgent-2020-03-29

A set of perf tooling fixes:

 - perf probe:
    - Fix deletion of multiple probe events.
    - Fix userspace libraries handling by not depending on dwfl_module_addrsym().

 - event parsing:
    - Fix reading of invalid memory in event parsing.

 - python bindings:
    - Fix clang detection when using CC=clang-version.

 - build system:
    - Fix O= use with relative paths.

 - Android:
    - Fix off by one in strncpy() size argument when handling Android
      libraries.

 - Sync the tools headers

irq-urgent-2020-03-29

A single bugfix to prevent reference leaks in irq affinity notifiers.

xfs-5.7-merge-9

(More) new code for 5.7:
- Validate the realtime geometry in the superblock when mounting
- Refactor a bunch of tricky flag handling in the log code
- Flush the CIL more judiciously so that we don't wait until there are
  millions of log items consuming a lot of memory.
- Throttle transaction commits to prevent the xfs frontend from flooding
  the CIL with too many log items.
- Account metadata buffers correctly for memory reclaim.
- Mark slabs properly for memory reclaim.  These should help reclaim run
  more effectively when XFS is using a lot of memory.
- Don't write a garbage log record at unmount time if we're trying to
  trigger summary counter recalculation at next mount.
- Don't block the AIL on locked dquot/inode buffers; instead trigger its
  backoff mechanism to give the lock holder a chance to finish up.

xfs-5.7-merge-8

New code for 5.7:
 - Fix a hard to trigger race between iclog error checking and log shutdown.
 - Strengthen the AGF verifier.
 - Ratelimit some of the more spammy error messages.
 - Remove the icdinode uid/gid members and just use the ones in the vfs inode.
 - Hold ILOCK across insert/collapse range.
 - Clean up the extended attribute interfaces.
 - Clean up the attr flags mess.
 - Restore PF_MEMALLOC after exiting xfsaild thread to avoid triggering
   warnings in the process accounting code.
 - Remove the flexibly-sized array from struct xfs_agfl to eliminate
   compiler warnings about unaligned pointers and packed structures.
 - Various macro and typedef removals.
 - Stale metadata buffers if we decide they're corrupt outside of a
   verifier.
 - Check directory data/block/free block owners.
 - Fix a UAF when aborting inactivation of a corrupt xattr fork.
 - Teach online scrub to report failed directory and attr name lookups
   as a metadata corruption instead of a runtime error.
 - Avoid potential buffer overflows in sysfs files by using scnprintf.
 - Fix a regression in getdents lookups due to a mistake in pointer
   arithmetic.
 - Refactor btree cursor private data structures to use anonymous
   unions.
 - Cleanups in the log unmounting code.
 - Fix a potential mishandling of ENOMEM errors on multi-block directory
   buffer lookups.
 - Fix an incorrect test in the block allocation code.
 - Cleanups and name prefix shortening in the scrub code.
 - Introduce btree bulk loading code for online repair and scrub.
 - Fix a quotaoff log item leak (and hang) when the fs goes down midway
   through a quotaoff operation.
 - Remove di_version from the incore inode.
 - Refactor some of the log shutdown checking code.
 - Record the forcing of the log unmount records in the log force
   counters.
 - Fix a longstanding bug where quotacheck would purge the
   administrator's default quota grace interval and warning limits.
 - Reduce memory usage when scrubbing directory and xattr trees.
 - Don't let fsfreeze race with GETFSMAP or online scrub.
 - Handle bio_add_page failures more gracefully in xlog_write_iclog.
