         - Resolve the kvmclock regression on AMD systems with memory

           during early boot results in encrypted storage, which is not
           shareable with the hypervisor. Create a new section for this data
           which is mapped unencrypted and take care that the later
           allocations for shared kvmclock memory is unencrypted as well.
      
         - Fix the build regression in the paravirt code introduced by the
           recent spectre v2 updates.
      
         - Ensure that the initial static page tables cover the fixmap space
           correctly so early console always works. This worked so far by
           chance, but recent modifications to the fixmap layout can -
           depending on kernel configuration - move the relevant entries to a
           different place which is not covered by the initial static page
           tables.
      
         - Address the regressions and issues which got introduced with the

      block: use nanosecond resolution for iostat · b57e99b4
      Omar Sandoval authored
      Klaus Kusche reported that the I/O busy time in /proc/diskstats was not
      updating properly on 4.18. This is because we started using ktime to
      track elapsed time, and we convert nanoseconds to jiffies when we update
      the partition counter. However, this gets rounded down, so any I/Os that
      take less than a jiffy are not accounted for. Previously in this case,
      the value of jiffies would sometimes increment while we were doing I/O,
      so at least some I/Os were accounted for.
      
      Let's convert the stats to use nanoseconds internally. We still report
      milliseconds as before, now more accurately than ever. The value is
      still truncated to 32 bits for backwards compatibility.

      x86/mm: Expand static page table for fixmap space · 05ab1d8a
      Feng Tang authored
      We met a kernel panic when enabling earlycon, which is due to the fixmap
      address of earlycon is not statically setup.
      
      Currently the static fixmap setup in head_64.S only covers 2M virtual
      address space, while it actually could be in 4M space with different
      kernel configurations, e.g. when VSYSCALL emulation is disabled.
      
      So increase the static space to 4M for now by defining FIXMAP_PMD_NUM to 2,
      and add a build time check to ensure that the fixmap is covered by the
      initial static page tables.

      mm: slowly shrink slabs with a relatively small number of objects · 172b06c3
      Roman Gushchin authored
      9092c71b ("mm: use sc->priority for slab shrink targets") changed the
      way that the target slab pressure is calculated and made it
      priority-based:
      
          delta = freeable >> priority;
          delta *= 4;
          do_div(delta, shrinker->seeks);
      
      The problem is that on a default priority (which is 12) no pressure is
      applied at all, if the number of potentially reclaimable objects is less
      than 4096 (1<<12).
      
      This causes the last objects on slab caches of no longer used cgroups to
      (almost) never get reclaimed.  It's obviously a waste of memory.
      
      It can be especially painful, if these stale objects are holding a
      reference to a dying cgroup.  Slab LRU lists are reparented on memcg
      offlining, but corresponding objects are still holding a reference to the
      dying cgroup.  If we don't scan these objects, the dying cgroup can't go
      away.  Most likely, the parent cgroup hasn't any directly charged objects,
      only remaining objects from dying children cgroups.  So it can easily hold
      a reference to hundreds of dying cgroups.
      
      If there are no big spikes in memory pressure, and new memory cgroups are
      created and destroyed periodically, this causes the number of dying
      cgroups grow steadily, causing a slow-ish and hard-to-detect memory
      "leak".  It's not a real leak, as the memory can be eventually reclaimed,
      but it could not happen in a real life at all.  I've seen hosts with a
      steadily climbing number of dying cgroups, which doesn't show any signs of
      a decline in months, despite the host is loaded with a production
      workload.
      
      It is an obvious waste of memory, and to prevent it, let's apply a minimal
      pressure even on small shrinker lists.  E.g.  if there are freeable
      objects, let's scan at least min(freeable, scan_batch) objects.
      
      This fix significantly improves a chance of a dying cgroup to be
      reclaimed, and together with some previous patches stops the steady growth
      of the dying cgroups number on some of our hosts.

      mm: shmem.c: Correctly annotate new inodes for lockdep · b45d71fb
      Joel Fernandes (Google) authored
      
      
      Directories and inodes don't necessarily need to be in the same lockdep
      class.  For ex, hugetlbfs splits them out too to prevent false positives
      in lockdep.  Annotate correctly after new inode creation.  If its a
      directory inode, it will be put into a different class.
      
      This should fix a lockdep splat reported by syzbot:
