Current Hardware events and Hardware cache events have special perf
types, PERF_TYPE_HARDWARE and PERF_TYPE_HW_CACHE. The two types don't
pass the PMU type in the user interface. For a hybrid system, the perf
subsystem doesn't know which PMU the events belong to. The first capable
PMU will always be assigned to the events. The events never get a chance
to run on the other capable PMUs.
Extend the two types to become PMU aware types. The PMU type ID is
stored at attr.config[63:32].
Add a new PMU capability, PERF_PMU_CAP_EXTENDED_HW_TYPE, to indicate a
PMU which supports the extended PERF_TYPE_HARDWARE and
PERF_TYPE_HW_CACHE.
The PMU type is only required when searching a specific PMU. The PMU
specific codes will only be interested in the 'real' config value, which
is stored in the low 32 bit of the event->attr.config. Update the
event->attr.config in the generic code, so the PMU specific codes don't
need to calculate it separately.
If a user specifies a PMU type, but the PMU doesn't support the extended
type, error out.
If an event cannot be initialized in a PMU specified by a user, error
out immediately. Perf should not try to open it on other PMUs.
The new PMU capability is only set for the X86 hybrid PMUs for now.
Other architectures, e.g., ARM, may need it as well. The support on ARM
may be implemented later separately.

This patch adds a new software event to count context switches
involving cgroup switches. So it's counted only if cgroups of
previous and next tasks are different. Note that it only checks the
cgroups in the perf_event subsystem. For cgroup v2, it shouldn't
matter anyway.
One can argue that we can do this by using existing sched_switch event
with eBPF. But some systems might not have eBPF for some reason so
I'd like to add this as a simple way.

Adds bit perf_event_attr::sigtrap, which can be set to cause events to
send SIGTRAP (with si_code TRAP_PERF) to the task where the event
occurred. The primary motivation is to support synchronous signals on
perf events in the task where an event (such as breakpoints) triggered.
To distinguish perf events based on the event type, the type is set in
si_errno. For events that are associated with an address, si_addr is
copied from perf_sample_data.
The new field perf_event_attr::sig_data is copied to si_perf, which
allows user space to disambiguate which event (of the same type)
triggered the signal. For example, user space could encode the relevant
information it cares about in sig_data.
We note that the choice of an opaque u64 provides the simplest and most
flexible option. Alternatives where a reference to some user space data
is passed back suffer from the problem that modification of referenced
data (be it the event fd, or the perf_event_attr) can race with the
signal being delivered (of course, the same caveat applies if user space
decides to store a pointer in sig_data, but the ABI explicitly avoids
prescribing such a design).

Commit 5ee759cda5 ("l2tp: use standard API for warning log messages")
changed a number of warnings about invalid packets in the receive path
so that they are always shown, instead of only when a special L2TP debug
flag is set. Even with rate limiting these warnings can easily cause
significant log spam - potentially triggered by a malicious party
sending invalid packets on purpose.
In addition these warnings were noticed by projects like Tunneldigger [1],
which uses L2TP for its data path, but implements its own control
protocol (which is sufficiently different from L2TP data packets that it
would always be passed up to userspace even with future extensions of
L2TP).
Some of the warnings were already redundant, as l2tp_stats has a counter
for these packets. This commit adds one additional counter for invalid
packets that are passed up to userspace. Packets with unknown session are
not counted as invalid, as there is nothing wrong with the format of
these packets.
With the additional counter, all of these messages are either redundant
or benign, so we reduce them to pr_debug_ratelimited().

This is how Xen guests do steal time accounting. The hypervisor records
the amount of time spent in each of running/runnable/blocked/offline
states.
In the Xen accounting, a vCPU is still in state RUNSTATE_running while
in Xen for a hypercall or I/O trap, etc. Only if Xen explicitly schedules
does the state become RUNSTATE_blocked. In KVM this means that even when
the vCPU exits the kvm_run loop, the state remains RUNSTATE_running.
The VMM can explicitly set the vCPU to RUNSTATE_blocked by using the
KVM_XEN_VCPU_ATTR_TYPE_RUNSTATE_CURRENT attribute, and can also use
KVM_XEN_VCPU_ATTR_TYPE_RUNSTATE_ADJUST to retrospectively add a given
amount of time to the blocked state and subtract it from the running
state.
The state_entry_time corresponds to get_kvmclock_ns() at the time the
vCPU entered the current state, and the total times of all four states
should always add up to state_entry_time.

Pull io_uring thread rewrite from Jens Axboe:
"This converts the io-wq workers to be forked off the tasks in question
instead of being kernel threads that assume various bits of the
original task identity.
This kills > 400 lines of code from io_uring/io-wq, and it's the worst
part of the code. We've had several bugs in this area, and the worry
is always that we could be missing some pieces for file types doing
unusual things (recent /dev/tty example comes to mind, userfaultfd
reads installing file descriptors is another fun one... - both of
which need special handling, and I bet it's not the last weird oddity
we'll find).
With these identical workers, we can have full confidence that we're
never missing anything. That, in itself, is a huge win. Outside of
that, it's also more efficient since we're not wasting space and code
on tracking state, or switching between different states.
I'm sure we're going to find little things to patch up after this
series, but testing has been pretty thorough, from the usual
regression suite to production. Any issue that may crop up should be
manageable.
There's also a nice series of further reductions we can do on top of
this, but I wanted to get the meat of it out sooner rather than later.
The general worry here isn't that it's fundamentally broken. Most of
the little issues we've found over the last week have been related to
just changes in how thread startup/exit is done, since that's the main
difference between using kthreads and these kinds of threads. In fact,
if all goes according to plan, I want to get this into the 5.10 and
5.11 stable branches as well.
That said, the changes outside of io_uring/io-wq are:
- arch setup, simple one-liner to each arch copy_thread()
implementation.
- Removal of net and proc restrictions for io_uring, they are no
longer needed or useful"

...
Now, NUMA balancing can only optimize the page placement among the NUMA
nodes if the default memory policy is used. Because the memory policy
specified explicitly should take precedence. But this seems too strict in
some situations. For example, on a system with 4 NUMA nodes, if the
memory of an application is bound to the node 0 and 1, NUMA balancing can
potentially migrate the pages between the node 0 and 1 to reduce
cross-node accessing without breaking the explicit memory binding policy.
So in this patch, we add MPOL_F_NUMA_BALANCING mode flag to
set_mempolicy() when mode is MPOL_BIND. With the flag specified, NUMA
balancing will be enabled within the thread to optimize the page placement
within the constrains of the specified memory binding policy. With the
newly added flag, the NUMA balancing control mechanism becomes,
- sysctl knob numa_balancing can enable/disable the NUMA balancing
globally.
- even if sysctl numa_balancing is enabled, the NUMA balancing will be
disabled for the memory areas or applications with the explicit
memory policy by default.
- MPOL_F_NUMA_BALANCING can be used to enable the NUMA balancing for
the applications when specifying the explicit memory policy
(MPOL_BIND).
Various page placement optimization based on the NUMA balancing can be
done with these flags. As the first step, in this patch, if the memory of
the application is bound to multiple nodes (MPOL_BIND), and in the hint
page fault handler the accessing node are in the policy nodemask, the page
will be tried to be migrated to the accessing node to reduce the
cross-node accessing.
If the newly added MPOL_F_NUMA_BALANCING flag is specified by an
application on an old kernel version without its support, set_mempolicy()
will return -1 and errno will be set to EINVAL. The application can use
this behavior to run on both old and new kernel versions.
And if the MPOL_F_NUMA_BALANCING flag is specified for the mode other than
MPOL_BIND, set_mempolicy() will return -1 and errno will be set to EINVAL
as before. Because we don't support optimization based on the NUMA
balancing for these modes.
In the previous version of the patch, we tried to reuse MPOL_MF_LAZY for
mbind(). But that flag is tied to MPOL_MF_MOVE.*, so it seems not a good
API/ABI for the purpose of the patch.
And because it's not clear whether it's necessary to enable NUMA balancing
for a specific memory area inside an application, so we only add the flag
at the thread level (set_mempolicy()) instead of the memory area level
(mbind()). We can do that when it become necessary.
To test the patch, we run a test case as follows on a 4-node machine with
192 GB memory (48 GB per node).
1. Change pmbench memory accessing benchmark to call set_mempolicy()
to bind its memory to node 1 and 3 and enable NUMA balancing. Some
related code snippets are as follows,
#include <numaif.h>
#include <numa.h>
struct bitmask *bmp;
int ret;
bmp = numa_parse_nodestring("1,3");
ret = set_mempolicy(MPOL_BIND | MPOL_F_NUMA_BALANCING,
bmp->maskp, bmp->size + 1);
/* If MPOL_F_NUMA_BALANCING isn't supported, fall back to MPOL_BIND */
if (ret < 0 && errno == EINVAL)
ret = set_mempolicy(MPOL_BIND, bmp->maskp, bmp->size + 1);
if (ret < 0) {
perror("Failed to call set_mempolicy");
exit(-1);
}
2. Run a memory eater on node 3 to use 40 GB memory before running pmbench.
3. Run pmbench with 64 processes, the working-set size of each process
is 640 MB, so the total working-set size is 64 * 640 MB = 40 GB. The
CPU and the memory (as in step 1.) of all pmbench processes is bound
to node 1 and 3. So, after CPU usage is balanced, some pmbench
processes run on the CPUs of the node 3 will access the memory of
the node 1.
4. After the pmbench processes run for 100 seconds, kill the memory
eater. Now it's possible for some pmbench processes to migrate
their pages from node 1 to node 3 to reduce cross-node accessing.
Test results show that, with the patch, the pages can be migrated from
node 1 to node 3 after killing the memory eater, and the pmbench score
can increase about 17.5%.

more tiny driver subsystems in one place, making it easier for those
maintainers, which is why this is getting larger.
Included in here are:
- coresight driver updates
- habannalabs driver updates
- virtual acrn driver addition (proper acks from the x86 maintainers)
- broadcom misc driver addition
- speakup driver updates
- soundwire driver updates
- fpga driver updates
- amba driver updates
- mei driver updates
- vfio driver updates
- greybus driver updates
- nvmeem driver updates
- phy driver updates
- mhi driver updates
- interconnect driver udpates
- fsl-mc bus driver updates
- random driver fix
- some small misc driver updates (rtsx, pvpanic, etc.)
All of these have been in linux-next for a while, with the only
reported issue being a merge conflict due to the dfl_device_id
addition from the fpga subsystem in here"

Pull initial support for CXL (Compute Express Link) from Dan Williams:
"Introduce an initial driver for CXL 2.0 Type-3 Memory Devices.
CXL is Compute Express Link which released the 2.0 specification in
November. The Linux relevant changes in CXL 2.0 are support for an OS
to dynamically assign address space to memory devices, support for
switches, persistent memory, and hotplug.
A Type-3 Memory Device is a PCI enumerated device presenting the CXL
Memory Device Class Code and implementing the CXL.mem protocol.
CXL.mem allows device to advertise CPU and I/O coherent memory to the
system, i.e. typical "System RAM" and "Persistent Memory" in Linux
/proc/iomem terms.
In addition to the CXL.mem fast path there is an administrative
command hardware mailbox interface for maintenance and provisioning.
It is this command interface that is the focus of the initial driver.
With this driver a CXL device that is mapped by the BIOS can be
administered by Linux.
Linux support for CXL PMEM and dynamic CXL address space management
are to be implemented post v5.12"

A few reasons to do this:
- The naming of the manager and worker have changed. That's a user visible
change, so makes sense to flag it.
- Opening certain files that use ->signal (like /proc/self or /dev/tty)
now works, and the flag tells the application upfront that this is the
case.
- Related to the above, using signalfd will now work as well.

Pull gfs2 updates from Andreas Gruenbacher:
- Log space and revoke accounting rework to fix some failed asserts.
- Local resource group glock sharing for better local performance.
- Add support for version 1802 filesystems: trusted xattr support and
'-o rgrplvb' mounts by default.
- Actually synchronize on the inode glock's FREEING bit during withdraw
("gfs2: fix glock confusion in function signal_our_withdraw").
- Fix parallel recovery of multiple journals ("gfs2: keep bios separate
for each journal").
- Various other bug fixes.
