The documentation for deadline was retained because it carries over to mq-deadline as well, but location of the doc file was changed over time.

Only thing missing then is a table that quickly describes the various bits and taint flags before going into more detail, so add that as well. That table is partly based on a section from Documentation/sysctl/kernel.txt, but a bit more compact. To avoid confusion I added the shortened version to kernel.txt; the same table is used in three different places now: ./tools/debugging/kernel-chktaint, Documentation/admin-guide/tainted-kernels.rst and Documentation/sysctl/kernel.txt During review of v1 (see above) a number of existing issues with the text were raised, like outdated usages as well as incomplete or missing descriptions.

The SELinux module used an interface in /proc to manipulate the security context on processes. Rather than use a similar interface, I used the same interface. The AppArmor team did likewise. Now /proc/.../attr/current will tell you the security "context" of the process, but it will be different depending on the security module you're using. This patch provides a subdirectory in /proc/.../attr for Smack. Smack user space can use the "current" file in this subdirectory and never have to worry about getting SELinux attributes by mistake. Programs that use the old interface will continue to work (or fail, as the case may be) as before. The proposed S.A.R.A security module is dependent on the mechanism to create its own attr subdirectory. The original implementation is by Kees Cook.

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.

First, it includes timer wakeups in the pattern detection data and mixes them up with wakeups from other sources which in some cases causes it to expect what essentially would be a timer wakeup in a time frame in which no timer wakeups are possible (because it knows the time until the next timer event and that is later than the expected wakeup time). Second, it uses the extra exit latency limit based on the predicted idle duration and depending on the number of tasks waiting on I/O, even though those tasks may run on a different CPU when they are woken up. Moreover, the time ranges used by it for the sleep length correction factors depend on whether or not there are tasks waiting on I/O, which again doesn't imply anything in particular, and they are not correlated to the list of available idle states in any way whatever. Also, the pattern detection code in menu may end up considering values that are too large to matter at all, in which cases running it is a waste of time. A major rework of the menu governor would be required to address these issues and the performance of at least some workloads (tuned specifically to the current behavior of the menu governor) is likely to suffer from that. It is thus better to introduce an entirely new governor without them and let everybody use the governor that works better with their actual workloads. The new governor introduced here, the timer events oriented (TEO) governor, uses the same basic strategy as menu: it always tries to find the deepest idle state that can be used in the given conditions. However, it applies a different approach to that problem. First, it doesn't use "correction factors" for the time till the closest timer, but instead it tries to correlate the measured idle duration values with the available idle states and use that information to pick up the idle state that is most likely to "match" the upcoming CPU idle interval. Second, it doesn't take the number of "I/O waiters" into account at all and the pattern detection code in it avoids taking timer wakeups into account. It also only uses idle duration values less than the current time till the closest timer (with the tick excluded) for that purpose. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

This patch makes it easier to reason about transparent hugepage behaviour on a per-memcg basis. For anonymous THP-backed pages, we already have MEMCG_RSS_HUGE in v1, which is used for v1's rss_huge [sic]. This is reused here as it's fairly involved to untangle NR_ANON_THPS right now to make it per-memcg, since right now some of this is delegated to rmap before we have any memcg actually assigned to the page. It's a good idea to rework that, but let's leave untangling THP allocation for a future patch.

Nowadays, it is only a marker that a page is part of virtio-balloon and therefore logically offline. We also want to make use of this flag in other balloon drivers - for inflated pages or when onlining a section but keeping some pages offline (e.g. used right now by XEN and Hyper-V via set_online_page_callback()). We are going to expose this flag to dump tools like makedumpfile. But instead of exposing PG_balloon, let's generalize the concept of marking pages as logically offline, so it can be reused for other purposes later on. Rename PG_balloon to PG_offline. This is an indicator that the page is logically offline, the content stale and that it should not be touched (e.g. a hypervisor would have to allocate backing storage in order for the guest to dump an unused page). We can then e.g. exclude such pages from dumps. We replace and reuse KPF_BALLOON (23), as this shouldn't really harm (and for now the semantics stay the same). In following patches, we will make use of this bit also in other balloon drivers. While at it, document PGTABLE.

Note that 32-bit ARM does not populate its struct screen_info early enough for earlycon=efifb to work, so it is disabled there.

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.

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.

At the same time, the previous Extended Context (ECS) mode is deprecated (no production ever implements ECS). This patch adds enumeration for Scalable Mode and removes the deprecated ECS enumeration. It provides a boot time option to disable scalable mode even hardware claims to support it.
