Linus Torvalds 09da8dfa98 ACPI and power management updates for 3.14-rc1
- ACPI core changes to make it create a struct acpi_device object for every
    device represented in the ACPI tables during all namespace scans regardless
    of the current status of that device.  In accordance with this, ACPI hotplug
    operations will not delete those objects, unless the underlying ACPI tables
    go away.
 
  - On top of the above, new sysfs attribute for ACPI device objects allowing
    user space to check device status by triggering the execution of _STA for
    its ACPI object.  From Srinivas Pandruvada.
 
  - ACPI core hotplug changes reducing code duplication, integrating the
    PCI root hotplug with the core and reworking container hotplug.
 
  - ACPI core simplifications making it use ACPI_COMPANION() in the code
    "glueing" ACPI device objects to "physical" devices.
 
  - ACPICA update to upstream version 20131218.  This adds support for the
    DBG2 and PCCT tables to ACPICA, fixes some bugs and improves debug
    facilities.  From Bob Moore, Lv Zheng and Betty Dall.
 
  - Init code change to carry out the early ACPI initialization earlier.
    That should allow us to use ACPI during the timekeeping initialization
    and possibly to simplify the EFI initialization too.  From Chun-Yi Lee.
 
  - Clenups of the inclusions of ACPI headers in many places all over from
    Lv Zheng and Rashika Kheria (work in progress).
 
  - New helper for ACPI _DSM execution and rework of the code in drivers
    that uses _DSM to execute it via the new helper.  From Jiang Liu.
 
  - New Win8 OSI blacklist entries from Takashi Iwai.
 
  - Assorted ACPI fixes and cleanups from Al Stone, Emil Goode, Hanjun Guo,
    Lan Tianyu, Masanari Iida, Oliver Neukum, Prarit Bhargava, Rashika Kheria,
    Tang Chen, Zhang Rui.

Merge tag 'pm+acpi-3.14-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm

Pull ACPI and power management updates from Rafael Wysocki:
 "As far as the number of commits goes, the top spot belongs to ACPI
  this time with cpufreq in the second position and a handful of PM
  core, PNP and cpuidle updates.  They are fixes and cleanups mostly, as
  usual, with a couple of new features in the mix.

  The most visible change is probably that we will create struct
  acpi_device objects (visible in sysfs) for all devices represented in
  the ACPI tables regardless of their status and there will be a new
  sysfs attribute under those objects allowing user space to check that
  status via _STA.

  Consequently, ACPI device eject or generally hot-removal will not
  delete those objects, unless the table containing the corresponding
  namespace nodes is unloaded, which is extremely rare.  Also ACPI
  container hotplug will be handled quite a bit differently and cpufreq
  will support CPU boost ("turbo") generically and not only in the
  acpi-cpufreq driver.

  Specifics:

   - ACPI core changes to make it create a struct acpi_device object for
     every device represented in the ACPI tables during all namespace
     scans regardless of the current status of that device.  In
     accordance with this, ACPI hotplug operations will not delete those
     objects, unless the underlying ACPI tables go away.

   - On top of the above, new sysfs attribute for ACPI device objects
     allowing user space to check device status by triggering the
     execution of _STA for its ACPI object.  From Srinivas Pandruvada.

   - ACPI core hotplug changes reducing code duplication, integrating
     the PCI root hotplug with the core and reworking container hotplug.

   - ACPI core simplifications making it use ACPI_COMPANION() in the

Pull audit update from Eric Paris:
 "Again we stayed pretty well contained inside the audit system.
  Venturing out was fixing a couple of function prototypes which were
  inconsistent (didn't hurt anything, but we used the same value as an
  int, uint, u32, and I think even a long in a couple of places).

  We also made a couple of minor changes to when a couple of LSMs called
  the audit system.  We hoped to add aarch64 audit support this go
  round, but it wasn't ready.

  I'm disappearing on vacation on Thursday.  I should have internet
  access, but it'll be spotty.  If anything goes wrong please be sure to
  cc rgb@redhat.com.  He'll make fixing things his top priority"

Davidlohr Bueso 6c5de79ba2 partitions/efi: complete documentation of gpt kernel param purpose
The usage of the 'gpt' kernel parameter is twofold: (i) skip any mbr
integrity checks and (ii) enable the backup GPT header to be used in
situations where the primary one is corrupted.  This last "feature" is not
obvious and needs to be properly documented in the kernel-parameters
document.

because the system has run out of memory at boot time.  This occurs
because of the following sequence in the boot:

Main kernel boots and sets E820 map.  The second kernel is booted with a
map generated by the kdump service using memmap= and memmap=exactmap.
These parameters are added to the kernel parameters of the kexec/kdump
kernel.   The kexec/kdump kernel has limited memory resources so as not
to severely impact the main kernel.

The system then panics and the kdump/kexec kernel boots (which is a
completely new kernel boot).  During this boot ACPI is initialized and the
kernel (as can be seen above) traverses the ACPI namespace and finds an
entry for a memory device to be hotadded.

  [<ffffffff81a2019a>] acpi_scan_init+0x63/0x160
  [<ffffffff81a1ffb5>] acpi_init+0x25d/0x2a6

At this point the kernel adds page table information and the the kexec/kdump
kernel runs out of memory.

This can also be reproduced by using the memmap=exactmap and mem=X
parameters on the main kernel and booting.

This patchset resolves the problem by adding a kernel parameter,
acpi_no_memhotplug, to disable ACPI memory hotplug.

HATAYAMA Daisuke 151e0c7de6 x86, apic, kexec: Add disable_cpu_apicid kernel parameter
Add disable_cpu_apicid kernel parameter. To use this kernel parameter,
specify an initial APIC ID of the corresponding CPU you want to
disable.

This is mostly used for the kdump 2nd kernel to disable BSP to wake up
multiple CPUs without causing system reset or hang due to sending INIT
from AP to BSP.

Kdump users first figure out initial APIC ID of the BSP, CPU0 in the
1st kernel, for example from /proc/cpuinfo and then set up this kernel
parameter for the 2nd kernel using the obtained APIC ID.

However, doing this procedure at each boot time manually is awkward,
which should be automatically done by user-land service scripts, for
example, kexec-tools on fedora/RHEL distributions.

This design is more flexible than disabling BSP in kernel boot time
automatically in that in kernel boot time we have no choice but
referring to ACPI/MP table to obtain initial APIC ID for BSP, meaning
that the method is not applicable to the systems without such BIOS
tables.

One assumption behind this design is that users get initial APIC ID of
the BSP in still healthy state and so BSP is uniquely kept in
CPU0. Thus, through the kernel parameter, only one initial APIC ID can
be specified.

In a comparison with disabled_cpu_apicid, we use read_apic_id(), not
boot_cpu_physical_apicid, because on some platforms, the variable is
modified to the apicid reported as BSP through MP table and this
function is executed with the temporarily modified
boot_cpu_physical_apicid. As a result, disabled_cpu_apicid kernel
parameter doesn't work well for apicids of APs.

Fixing the wrong handling of boot_cpu_physical_apicid requires some
reviews and tests beyond some platforms and it could take some
time. The fix here is a kind of workaround to focus on the main topic
of this patch.

Richard Guy Briggs f910fde730 audit: add kernel set-up parameter to override default backlog limit
The default audit_backlog_limit is 64.  This was a reasonable limit at one time.

systemd causes so much audit queue activity on startup that auditd doesn't
start before the backlog queue has already overflowed by more than a factor of
2.  On a system with audit= not set on the kernel command line, this isn't an
issue since that history isn't kept for auditd when it is available.  On a
system with audit=1 set on the kernel command line, kaudit tries to keep that
history until auditd is able to drain the queue.

This default can be changed by the "-b" option in audit.rules once the system
has booted, but won't help with lost messages on boot.

One way to solve this would be to increase the default backlog queue size to
avoid losing any messages before auditd is able to consume them.  This would
be overkill to the embedded community and insufficient for some servers.

Another way to solve it might be to add a kconfig option to set the default
based on the system type.  An embedded system would get the current (or
smaller) default, while Workstations might get more than now and servers might
get more.

None of these solutions helps if a system's compiled default is too small to
see the lost messages without compiling a new kernel.

This patch adds a kernel set-up parameter (audit already has one to
enable/disable it) "audit_backlog_limit=<n>" that overrides the default to
allow the system administrator to set the backlog limit.

A user on StackExchange had a failing SSD that's soldered directly
onto the motherboard of his system. The BIOS does not give any option
to disable it at all, so he can't just hide it from the OS via the
BIOS.

The old IDE layer had hdX=noprobe override for situations like this,
but that was never ported to the libata layer.

This patch implements a disable flag for libata.force.

Example use:

 libata.force=2.0:disable

Linus Torvalds 78dc53c422 Merge branch 'for-linus2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jmorris/linux-security
Pull security subsystem updates from James Morris:
 "In this patchset, we finally get an SELinux update, with Paul Moore
  taking over as maintainer of that code.

  Also a significant update for the Keys subsystem, as well as
  maintenance updates to Smack, IMA, TPM, and Apparmor"

and since I wanted to know more about the updates to key handling,
here's the explanation from David Howells on that:

 "Okay.  There are a number of separate bits.  I'll go over the big bits
  and the odd important other bit, most of the smaller bits are just
  fixes and cleanups.  If you want the small bits accounting for, I can
  do that too.

   (1) Keyring capacity expansion.

        KEYS: Consolidate the concept of an 'index key' for key access
        KEYS: Introduce a search context structure
        KEYS: Search for auth-key by name rather than target key ID
        Add a generic associative array implementation.
        KEYS: Expand the capacity of a keyring

     Several of the patches are providing an expansion of the capacity of a
     keyring.  Currently, the maximum size of a keyring payload is one page.
     Subtract a small header and then divide up into pointers, that only gives
     you ~500 pointers on an x86_64 box.  However, since the NFS idmapper uses
     a keyring to store ID mapping data, that has proven to be insufficient to
     the cause.

     Whatever data structure I use to handle the keyring payload, it can only
     store pointers to keys, not the keys themselves because several keyrings
     may point to a single key.  This precludes inserting, say, and rb_node
     struct into the key struct for this purpose.

     I could make an rbtree of records such that each record has an rb_node
     and a key pointer, but that would use four words of space per key stored
     in the keyring.  It would, however, be able to use much existing code.

     I selected instead a non-rebalancing radix-tree type approach as that
     could have a better space-used/key-pointer ratio.  I could have used the
     radix tree implementation that we already have and insert keys into it by
     their serial numbers, but that means any sort of search must iterate over
     the whole radix tree.  Further, its nodes are a bit on the capacious side
     for what I want - especially given that key serial numbers are randomly
     allocated, thus leaving a lot of empty space in the tree.

     So what I have is an associative array that internally is a radix-tree
     with 16 pointers per node where the index key is constructed from the key
     type pointer and the key description.  This means that an exact lookup by
     type+description is very fast as this tells us how to navigate directly to
     the target key.

     I made the data structure general in lib/assoc_array.c as far as it is
     concerned, its index key is just a sequence of bits that leads to a
     pointer.  It's possible that someone else will be able to make use of it
     also.  FS-Cache might, for example.

   (2) Mark keys as 'trusted' and keyrings as 'trusted only'.

        KEYS: verify a certificate is signed by a 'trusted' key
        KEYS: Make the system 'trusted' keyring viewable by userspace
        KEYS: Add a 'trusted' flag and a 'trusted only' flag
        KEYS: Separate the kernel signature checking keyring from module signing

     These patches allow keys carrying asymmetric public keys to be marked as
     being 'trusted' and allow keyrings to be marked as only permitting the
     addition or linkage of trusted keys.

     Keys loaded from hardware during kernel boot or compiled into the kernel
     during build are marked as being trusted automatically.  New keys can be
     loaded at runtime with add_key().  They are checked against the system
     keyring contents and if their signatures can be validated with keys that
     are already marked trusted, then they are marked trusted also and can
     thus be added into the master keyring.

     Patches from Mimi Zohar make this usable with the IMA keyrings also.

   (3) Remove the date checks on the key used to validate a module signature.

        X.509: Remove certificate date checks

     It's not reasonable to reject a signature just because the key that it was
     generated with is no longer valid datewise - especially if the kernel
     hasn't yet managed to set the system clock when the first module is
     loaded - so just remove those checks.

   (4) Make it simpler to deal with additional X.509 being loaded into the kernel.

        KEYS: Load *.x509 files into kernel keyring
        KEYS: Have make canonicalise the paths of the X.509 certs better to deduplicate

     The builder of the kernel now just places files with the extension ".x509"
     into the kernel source or build trees and they're concatenated by the
     kernel build and stuffed into the appropriate section.

   (5) Add support for userspace kerberos to use keyrings.

        KEYS: Add per-user_namespace registers for persistent per-UID kerberos caches
        KEYS: Implement a big key type that can save to tmpfs

     Fedora went to, by default, storing kerberos tickets and tokens in tmpfs.
     We looked at storing it in keyrings instead as that confers certain
     advantages such as tickets being automatically deleted after a certain
     amount of time and the ability for the kernel to get at these tokens more
     easily.

     To make this work, two things were needed:

     (a) A way for the tickets to persist beyond the lifetime of all a user's
         sessions so that cron-driven processes can still use them.

         The problem is that a user's session keyrings are deleted when the
         session that spawned them logs out and the user's user keyring is
         deleted when the UID is deleted (typically when the last log out
         happens), so neither of these places is suitable.

         I've added a system keyring into which a 'persistent' keyring is
         created for each UID on request.  Each time a user requests their
         persistent keyring, the expiry time on it is set anew.  If the user
         doesn't ask for it for, say, three days, the keyring is automatically
         expired and garbage collected using the existing gc.  All the kerberos
         tokens it held are then also gc'd.

     (b) A key type that can hold really big tickets (up to 1MB in size).

         The problem is that Active Directory can return huge tickets with lots
         of auxiliary data attached.  We don't, however, want to eat up huge
         tracts of unswappable kernel space for this, so if the ticket is
         greater than a certain size, we create a swappable shmem file and dump
         the contents in there and just live with the fact we then have an
         inode and a dentry overhead.  If the ticket is smaller than that, we
         slap it in a kmalloc()'d buffer"

Prarit Bhargava 3d035f5806 drivers/char/hpet.c: allow user controlled mmap for user processes
The CONFIG_HPET_MMAP Kconfig option exposes the memory map of the HPET
registers to userspace.  The Kconfig help points out that in some cases
this can be a security risk as some systems may erroneously configure the
map such that additional data is exposed to userspace.

This is a problem for distributions -- some users want the MMAP
functionality but it comes with a significant security risk.  In an effort
to mitigate this risk, and due to the low number of users of the MMAP
functionality, I've introduced a kernel parameter, hpet_mmap_enable, that
is required in order to actually have the HPET MMAP exposed.

Tang Chen c5320926e3 mem-hotplug: introduce movable_node boot option
The hot-Pluggable field in SRAT specifies which memory is hotpluggable.
As we mentioned before, if hotpluggable memory is used by the kernel, it
cannot be hot-removed.  So memory hotplug users may want to set all
hotpluggable memory in ZONE_MOVABLE so that the kernel won't use it.

Memory hotplug users may also set a node as movable node, which has
ZONE_MOVABLE only, so that the whole node can be hot-removed.

But the kernel cannot use memory in ZONE_MOVABLE.  By doing this, the
kernel cannot use memory in movable nodes.  This will cause NUMA
performance down.  And other users may be unhappy.

So we need a way to allow users to enable and disable this functionality.
In this patch, we introduce movable_node boot option to allow users to
choose to not to consume hotpluggable memory at early boot time and later
we can set it as ZONE_MOVABLE.

To achieve this, the movable_node boot option will control the memblock
allocation direction.  That said, after memblock is ready, before SRAT is
parsed, we should allocate memory near the kernel image as we explained in
the previous patches.  So if movable_node boot option is set, the kernel
does the following:

1. After memblock is ready, make memblock allocate memory bottom up.
2. After SRAT is parsed, make memblock behave as default, allocate memory
   top down.

Users can specify "movable_node" in kernel commandline to enable this
functionality.  For those who don't use memory hotplug or who don't want
to lose their NUMA performance, just don't specify anything.  The kernel
will work as before.

Borislav Petkov d2f7cbe7b2 x86/efi: Runtime services virtual mapping
We map the EFI regions needed for runtime services non-contiguously,
with preserved alignment on virtual addresses starting from -4G down
for a total max space of 64G. This way, we provide for stable runtime
services addresses across kernels so that a kexec'd kernel can still use
them.

Thus, they're mapped in a separate pagetable so that we don't pollute
the kernel namespace.

Add an efi= kernel command line parameter for passing miscellaneous
options and chicken bits from the command line.

While at it, add a chicken bit called "efi=old_map" which can be used as
a fallback to the old runtime services mapping method in case there's
some b0rkage with a particular EFI implementation (haha, it is hard to
hold up the sarcasm here...).

Also, add the UEFI RT VA space to Documentation/x86/x86_64/mm.txt.

Mimi Zohar e7a2ad7eb6 ima: enable support for larger default filedata hash algorithms
The IMA measurement list contains two hashes - a template data hash
and a filedata hash.  The template data hash is committed to the TPM,
which is limited, by the TPM v1.2 specification, to 20 bytes.  The
filedata hash is defined as 20 bytes as well.

Now that support for variable length measurement list templates was
added, the filedata hash is not limited to 20 bytes.  This patch adds
Kconfig support for defining larger default filedata hash algorithms
and replacing the builtin default with one specified on the kernel
command line.

<uapi/linux/hash_info.h> contains a list of hash algorithms.  The
Kconfig default hash algorithm is a subset of this list, but any hash
algorithm included in the list can be specified at boot, using the
'ima_hash=' kernel command line option.

Changelog v2:
- update Kconfig

Changelog:
- support hashes that are configured
- use generic HASH_ALGO_ definitions
- add Kconfig support
- hash_setup must be called only once (Dmitry)
- removed trailing whitespaces (Roberto Sassu)

Recently commit bab55417b1 ("block: support embedded device command

is too generic and sounds like it enables/disables generic kernel boot
arg processing, when it really is block specific.

Before this option becomes a part of a full/final release, add the BLK_
prefix to it so that it is clear in absence of any other context that it
is block specific.

In addition, fix up the following less critical items:
 - help text was not really at all helpful.

Trond Myklebust f6de7a39c1 NFSv4: Document the recover_lost_locks kernel parameter
Rename the new 'recover_locks' kernel parameter to 'recover_lost_locks'
and change the default to 'false'. Document why in
Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt

Move the 'recover_lost_locks' kernel parameter to fs/nfs/super.c to
make it easy to backport to kernels prior to 3.6.x, which don't have
a separate NFSv4 module.

Linus Torvalds 40031da445 ACPI and power management updates for 3.12-rc1
1) ACPI-based PCI hotplug (ACPIPHP) subsystem rework and introduction
     of Intel Thunderbolt support on systems that use ACPI for signalling
     Thunderbolt hotplug events.  This also should make ACPIPHP work in
     some cases in which it was known to have problems.  From
     Rafael J Wysocki, Mika Westerberg and Kirill A Shutemov.
 
  2) ACPI core code cleanups and dock station support cleanups from
     Jiang Liu and Rafael J Wysocki.
 
  3) Fixes for locking problems related to ACPI device hotplug from
     Rafael J Wysocki.
 
  4) ACPICA update to version 20130725 includig fixes, cleanups, support
     for more than 256 GPEs per GPE block and a change to make the ACPI
     PM Timer optional (we've seen systems without the PM Timer in the
     field already).  One of the fixes, related to the DeRefOf operator,
     is necessary to prevent some Windows 8 oriented AML from causing
     problems to happen.  From Bob Moore, Lv Zheng, and Jung-uk Kim.
 
  5) Removal of the old and long deprecated /proc/acpi/event interface
     and related driver changes from Thomas Renninger.
 
  6) ACPI and Xen changes to make the reduced hardware sleep work with
     the latter from Ben Guthro.
 
  7) ACPI video driver cleanups and a blacklist of systems that should
     not tell the BIOS that they are compatible with Windows 8 (or ACPI
     backlight and possibly other things will not work on them).  From
     Felipe Contreras.
 
  8) Assorted ACPI fixes and cleanups from Aaron Lu, Hanjun Guo,
     Kuppuswamy Sathyanarayanan, Lan Tianyu, Sachin Kamat, Tang Chen,
     Toshi Kani, and Wei Yongjun.
 
  9) cpufreq ondemand governor target frequency selection change to
     reduce oscillations between min and max frequencies (essentially,
     it causes the governor to choose target frequencies proportional
     to load) from Stratos Karafotis.
 
 10) cpufreq fixes allowing sysfs attributes file permissions to be
     preserved over suspend/resume cycles Srivatsa S Bhat.
 
 11) Removal of Device Tree parsing for CPU device nodes from multiple
     cpufreq drivers that required some changes related to
     of_get_cpu_node() to be made in a few architectures and in the
     driver core.  From Sudeep KarkadaNagesha.
 
 12) cpufreq core fixes and cleanups related to mutual exclusion and
     driver module references from Viresh Kumar, Lukasz Majewski and
     Rafael J Wysocki.
 
 13) Assorted cpufreq fixes and cleanups from Amit Daniel Kachhap,
     Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz, Hanjun Guo, Jingoo Han, Joseph Lo,
     Julia Lawall, Li Zhong, Mark Brown, Sascha Hauer, Stephen Boyd,
     Stratos Karafotis, and Viresh Kumar.
 
 14) Fixes to prevent race conditions in coupled cpuidle from happening
     from Colin Cross.
 
 15) cpuidle core fixes and cleanups from Daniel Lezcano and
     Tuukka Tikkanen.
 
 16) Assorted cpuidle fixes and cleanups from Daniel Lezcano,
     Geert Uytterhoeven, Jingoo Han, Julia Lawall, Linus Walleij,
     and Sahara.
 
 17) System sleep tracing changes from Todd E Brandt and Shuah Khan.
 
 18) PNP subsystem conversion to using struct dev_pm_ops for power
     management from Shuah Khan.

Linus Torvalds 2f01ea908b TTY/Serial driver patches for 3.12-rc1
Here's the big tty/serial driver pull request for 3.12-rc1.
 
 Lots of n_tty reworks to resolve some very long-standing issues, removing the
 3-4 different locks that were taken for every character.  This code has been
 beaten on for a long time in linux-next with no reported regressions.
 
 Other than that, a range of serial and tty driver updates and revisions.  Full
 details in the shortlog.
