      Pull MMC updates from Ulf Hansson:
       "MMC core:
            - Fix ABI regression of MMC BLK ioctl
            - Remove the unused MMC_DATA_STREAM flag
            - Enable asynchronous system PM for the host device
            - Minor fixes and clean-ups
      
        SDHCI host:
           Throughout the years, the numbers of SDHCI variants have increased
           and so has also the numbers of SDHCI callbacks/quirks.  The purpose
           of these callbacks/quirks were to enable SDHCI to deal with variant
           specific requirements, but unfortunate this method didn't scale.
           Instead we have ended up with a mess.  Not only did the code become
           suboptimal but also highly fragile.
      
           Lately many discussions of how to move forward with SDHCI has taken
           place at the MMC mailing list.  Step by step, we aim to turn
           SDHCI's common code into a set of library functions.  This will
           enable for optimizations and allow some of the existing callbacks
           and quirks to be removed, which also should help to make the code
           less fragile.
      
           Therefore I am also really pleased to announce that Adrian Hunter
           (Intel) has volunteered to step in as the maintainer for SDHCI.
      
           Future wise, I hope the community around SDHCI will continue to
           grow and that this release cycle can be the starting point of
           moving SDHCI into a better shape.  As a matter of fact, already in
           this cycle the re-factoring has begun, but of course there are also
           fixes and new features included.  Some highlights:
      
            - sdhci-iproc: Add support for Broadcom's BCM2835 eMMC IP
            - sdhci-acpi: Add support for QCOM controllers
            - sdhci-pic32: Add new SDHCI variant for PIC32MZDA
      
        Other hosts:
            - atmel-mci: Fix a NULL pointer dereference
            - mediatek: Add SD write-protect support
            - mmc_spi: Fix card detect in GPIO case
            - tmio/sdhi: Add r8a7795 support

      [media] vsp1: use proper dma alloc/free functions · 770c4c11
      Linus Torvalds authored
      I noticed this while merging the drm tree and checking for stragglers:
      the vsp1 driver still used dma_[alloc|free]_writecombine() that got
      renamed in commit f6e45661 ("dma, mm/pat: Rename
      dma_*_writecombine() to dma_*_wc()")
      
      I should have noticed back in the media merge (commit bace3db5
      
      ), but
      better late than never.

        overrun under random write loads anymore, and we added compile time

        or platform/compiler change breaks the on disk structure as early as
        possible.
      
        Change summary:
      
         - error propagation for direct IO failures fixes for both XFS and
           ext4
         - new quota interfaces and XFS implementation for iterating all the
           quota IDs in the filesystem
         - locking fixes for real-time device extent allocation
         - reduction of duplicate information in the xfs and vfs inode, saving
           roughly 100 bytes of memory per cached inode.
         - buffer flag cleanup
         - rework of the writepage code to use the generic write clustering
           mechanisms
         - several fixes for inode flag based DAX enablement
         - rework of remount option parsing
         - compile time verification of on-disk format structure sizes
         - delayed allocation reservation overrun fixes
         - lots of little error handling fixes
         - small memory leak fixes
         - enable xfsaild freezing again"

      btrfs: make sure we stay inside the bvec during __btrfs_lookup_bio_sums · 389f239c
      Chris Mason authored
      Commit c40a3d38
      
       (Btrfs: Compute and look up csums based on
      sectorsized blocks) changes around how we walk the bios while looking up
      crcs.  There's an inner loop that is jumping to the next bvec based on
      sectors and before it derefs the next bvec, it needs to make sure we're
      still in the bio.
      
      In this case, the outer loop would have decided to stop moving forward
      too, and the bvec deref is never actually used for anything.  But
      CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC catches it because we're outside our bio.

      drivers/perf: arm_pmu: avoid NULL dereference when not using devicetree · 357b565d
      Will Deacon authored
      Commit c6b90653
      
       ("drivers/perf: arm_pmu: make info messages more
      verbose") breaks booting on systems where the PMU is probed without
      devicetree (e.g by inspecting the MIDR of the current CPU). In this case,
      pdev->dev.of_node is NULL and we shouldn't try to access its ->fullname
      field when printing probe error messages.
      
      This patch fixes the probing code to use of_node_full_name, which safely
      handles NULL nodes and removes the "Error %i" part of the string, since
      it's not terribly useful.

      Linus Torvalds authored
      Pull x86 protection key support from Ingo Molnar:
       "This tree adds support for a new memory protection hardware feature
        that is available in upcoming Intel CPUs: 'protection keys' (pkeys).
      
        There's a background article at LWN.net:
      
            https://lwn.net/Articles/643797/
      
        The gist is that protection keys allow the encoding of
        user-controllable permission masks in the pte.  So instead of having a
        fixed protection mask in the pte (which needs a system call to change
        and works on a per page basis), the user can map a (handful of)
        protection mask variants and can change the masks runtime relatively
        cheaply, without having to change every single page in the affected
        virtual memory range.
      
        This allows the dynamic switching of the protection bits of large
        amounts of virtual memory, via user-space instructions.  It also
        allows more precise control of MMU permission bits: for example the
        executable bit is separate from the read bit (see more about that
        below).
      
        This tree adds the MM infrastructure and low level x86 glue needed for
        that, plus it adds a high level API to make use of protection keys -
        if a user-space application calls:
      
              mmap(..., PROT_EXEC);
      
        or
      
              mprotect(ptr, sz, PROT_EXEC);
      
        (note PROT_EXEC-only, without PROT_READ/WRITE), the kernel will notice
        this special case, and will set a special protection key on this
        memory range.  It also sets the appropriate bits in the Protection
        Keys User Rights (PKRU) register so that the memory becomes unreadable
        and unwritable.
      
        So using protection keys the kernel is able to implement 'true'
        PROT_EXEC on x86 CPUs: without protection keys PROT_EXEC implies
        PROT_READ as well.  Unreadable executable mappings have security
        advantages: they cannot be read via information leaks to figure out
        ASLR details, nor can they be scanned for ROP gadgets - and they
        cannot be used by exploits for data purposes either.
      
        We know about no user-space code that relies on pure PROT_EXEC
        mappings today, but binary loaders could start making use of this new
        feature to map binaries and libraries in a more secure fashion.
      
        There is other pending pkeys work that offers more high level system
        call APIs to manage protection keys - but those are not part of this
        pull request.
      
        Right now there's a Kconfig that controls this feature
        (CONFIG_X86_INTEL_MEMORY_PROTECTION_KEYS) that is default enabled
        (like most x86 CPU feature enablement code that has no runtime
        overhead), but it's not user-configurable at the moment.  If there's
        any serious problem with this then we can make it configurable and/or
        flip the default"

      Pull 'objtool' stack frame validation from Ingo Molnar:
       "This tree adds a new kernel build-time object file validation feature
        (ONFIG_STACK_VALIDATION=y): kernel stack frame correctness validation.
        It was written by and is maintained by Josh Poimboeuf.
      
        The motivation: there's a category of hard to find kernel bugs, most
        of them in assembly code (but also occasionally in C code), that
        degrades the quality of kernel stack dumps/backtraces.  These bugs are
        hard to detect at the source code level.  Such bugs result in
        incorrect/incomplete backtraces most of time - but can also in some
        rare cases result in crashes or other undefined behavior.
      
        The build time correctness checking is done via the new 'objtool'
        user-space utility that was written for this purpose and which is
        hosted in the kernel repository in tools/objtool/.  The tool's (very
        simple) UI and source code design is shaped after Git and perf and
        shares quite a bit of infrastructure with tools/perf (which tooling
        infrastructure sharing effort got merged via perf and is already
        upstream).  Objtool follows the well-known kernel coding style.
      
        Objtool does not try to check .c or .S files, it instead analyzes the
        resulting .o generated machine code from first principles: it decodes
        the instruction stream and interprets it.  (Right now objtool supports
        the x86-64 architecture.)
      
        From tools/objtool/Documentation/stack-validation.txt:
      
         "The kernel CONFIG_STACK_VALIDATION option enables a host tool named
          objtool which runs at compile time.  It has a "check" subcommand
          which analyzes every .o file and ensures the validity of its stack
          metadata.  It enforces a set of rules on asm code and C inline
          assembly code so that stack traces can be reliable.
      
          Currently it only checks frame pointer usage, but there are plans to
          add CFI validation for C files and CFI generation for asm files.
      
          For each function, it recursively follows all possible code paths
          and validates the correct frame pointer state at each instruction.
      
          It also follows code paths involving special sections, like
          .altinstructions, __jump_table, and __ex_table, which can add
          alternative execution paths to a given instruction (or set of
          instructions).  Similarly, it knows how to follow switch statements,
          for which gcc sometimes uses jump tables."
      
        When this new kernel option is enabled (it's disabled by default), the
        tool, if it finds any suspicious assembly code pattern, outputs
        warnings in compiler warning format:
      
          warning: objtool: rtlwifi_rate_mapping()+0x2e7: frame pointer state mismatch
          warning: objtool: cik_tiling_mode_table_init()+0x6ce: call without frame pointer save/setup
          warning: objtool:__schedule()+0x3c0: duplicate frame pointer save
          warning: objtool:__schedule()+0x3fd: sibling call from callable instruction with changed frame pointer
      
        ... so that scripts that pick up compiler warnings will notice them.
        All known warnings triggered by the tool are fixed by the tree, most
        of the commits in fact prepare the kernel to be warning-free.  Most of
        them are bugfixes or cleanups that stand on their own, but there are
        also some annotations of 'special' stack frames for justified cases
        such entries to JIT-ed code (BPF) or really special boot time code.
      
        There are two other long-term motivations behind this tool as well:
      
         - To improve the quality and reliability of kernel stack frames, so
           that they can be used for optimized live patching.
      
         - To create independent infrastructure to check the correctness of
           CFI stack frames at build time.  CFI debuginfo is notoriously
           unreliable and we cannot use it in the kernel as-is without extra
           checking done both on the kernel side and on the build side.
      
        The quality of kernel stack frames matters to debuggability as well,
        so IMO we can merge this without having to consider the live patching
        or CFI debuginfo angle"
