Here is an implementation of a new system call, sys_membarrier(), which
executes a memory barrier on all threads running on the system. It is
implemented by calling synchronize_sched(). It can be used to
distribute the cost of user-space memory barriers asymmetrically by
transforming pairs of memory barriers into pairs consisting of
sys_membarrier() and a compiler barrier. For synchronization primitives
that distinguish between read-side and write-side (e.g. userspace RCU
[1], rwlocks), the read-side can be accelerated significantly by moving
the bulk of the memory barrier overhead to the write-side.
The existing applications of which I am aware that would be improved by
this system call are as follows:
* Through Userspace RCU library (http://urcu.so)
- DNS server (Knot DNS) https://www.knot-dns.cz/
- Network sniffer (http://netsniff-ng.org/)
- Distributed object storage (https://sheepdog.github.io/sheepdog/)
- User-space tracing (http://lttng.org)
- Network storage system (https://www.gluster.org/)
- Virtual routers (https://events.linuxfoundation.org/sites/events/files/slides/DPDK_RCU_0MQ.pdf)
- Financial software (https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/3/23/189)
Those projects use RCU in userspace to increase read-side speed and
scalability compared to locking. Especially in the case of RCU used by
libraries, sys_membarrier can speed up the read-side by moving the bulk of
the memory barrier cost to synchronize_rcu().
* Direct users of sys_membarrier
- core dotnet garbage collector (https://github.com/dotnet/coreclr/issues/198)
Microsoft core dotnet GC developers are planning to use the mprotect()
side-effect of issuing memory barriers through IPIs as a way to implement
Windows FlushProcessWriteBuffers() on Linux. They are referring to
sys_membarrier in their github thread, specifically stating that
sys_membarrier() is what they are looking for.
To explain the benefit of this scheme, let's introduce two example threads:
Thread A (non-frequent, e.g. executing liburcu synchronize_rcu())
Thread B (frequent, e.g. executing liburcu
rcu_read_lock()/rcu_read_unlock())
In a scheme where all smp_mb() in thread A are ordering memory accesses
with respect to smp_mb() present in Thread B, we can change each
smp_mb() within Thread A into calls to sys_membarrier() and each
smp_mb() within Thread B into compiler barriers "barrier()".
Before the change, we had, for each smp_mb() pairs:
Thread A Thread B
previous mem accesses previous mem accesses
smp_mb() smp_mb()
following mem accesses following mem accesses
After the change, these pairs become:
Thread A Thread B
prev mem accesses prev mem accesses
sys_membarrier() barrier()
follow mem accesses follow mem accesses
As we can see, there are two possible scenarios: either Thread B memory
accesses do not happen concurrently with Thread A accesses (1), or they
do (2).
1) Non-concurrent Thread A vs Thread B accesses:
Thread A Thread B
prev mem accesses
sys_membarrier()
follow mem accesses
prev mem accesses
barrier()
follow mem accesses
In this case, thread B accesses will be weakly ordered. This is OK,
because at that point, thread A is not particularly interested in
ordering them with respect to its own accesses.
2) Concurrent Thread A vs Thread B accesses
Thread A Thread B
prev mem accesses prev mem accesses
sys_membarrier() barrier()
follow mem accesses follow mem accesses
In this case, thread B accesses, which are ensured to be in program
order thanks to the compiler barrier, will be "upgraded" to full
smp_mb() by synchronize_sched().
* Benchmarks
On Intel Xeon E5405 (8 cores)
(one thread is calling sys_membarrier, the other 7 threads are busy
looping)
1000 non-expedited sys_membarrier calls in 33s =3D 33 milliseconds/call.
* User-space user of this system call: Userspace RCU library
Both the signal-based and the sys_membarrier userspace RCU schemes
permit us to remove the memory barrier from the userspace RCU
rcu_read_lock() and rcu_read_unlock() primitives, thus significantly
accelerating them. These memory barriers are replaced by compiler
barriers on the read-side, and all matching memory barriers on the
write-side are turned into an invocation of a memory barrier on all
active threads in the process. By letting the kernel perform this
synchronization rather than dumbly sending a signal to every process
threads (as we currently do), we diminish the number of unnecessary wake
ups and only issue the memory barriers on active threads. Non-running
threads do not need to execute such barrier anyway, because these are
implied by the scheduler context switches.
Results in liburcu:
Operations in 10s, 6 readers, 2 writers:
memory barriers in reader: 1701557485 reads, 2202847 writes
signal-based scheme: 9830061167 reads, 6700 writes
sys_membarrier: 9952759104 reads, 425 writes
sys_membarrier (dyn. check): 7970328887 reads, 425 writes
The dynamic sys_membarrier availability check adds some overhead to
the read-side compared to the signal-based scheme, but besides that,
sys_membarrier slightly outperforms the signal-based scheme. However,
this non-expedited sys_membarrier implementation has a much slower grace
period than signal and memory barrier schemes.
Besides diminishing the number of wake-ups, one major advantage of the
membarrier system call over the signal-based scheme is that it does not
need to reserve a signal. This plays much more nicely with libraries,
and with processes injected into for tracing purposes, for which we
cannot expect that signals will be unused by the application.
An expedited version of this system call can be added later on to speed
up the grace period. Its implementation will likely depend on reading
the cpu_curr()->mm without holding each CPU's rq lock.
This patch adds the system call to x86 and to asm-generic.

MEMBARRIER(2) Linux Programmer's Manual MEMBARRIER(2)
NAME
membarrier - issue memory barriers on a set of threads
SYNOPSIS
#include <linux/membarrier.h>
int membarrier(int cmd, int flags);
DESCRIPTION
The cmd argument is one of the following:
MEMBARRIER_CMD_QUERY
Query the set of supported commands. It returns a bitmask of
supported commands.
MEMBARRIER_CMD_SHARED
Execute a memory barrier on all threads running on the system.
Upon return from system call, the caller thread is ensured that
all running threads have passed through a state where all memory
accesses to user-space addresses match program order between
entry to and return from the system call (non-running threads
are de facto in such a state). This covers threads from all pro=E2=80=90
cesses running on the system. This command returns 0.
The flags argument needs to be 0. For future extensions.
All memory accesses performed in program order from each targeted
thread is guaranteed to be ordered with respect to sys_membarrier(). If
we use the semantic "barrier()" to represent a compiler barrier forcing
memory accesses to be performed in program order across the barrier,
and smp_mb() to represent explicit memory barriers forcing full memory
ordering across the barrier, we have the following ordering table for
each pair of barrier(), sys_membarrier() and smp_mb():
The pair ordering is detailed as (O: ordered, X: not ordered):
barrier() smp_mb() sys_membarrier()
barrier() X X O
smp_mb() X O O
sys_membarrier() O O O
RETURN VALUE
On success, these system calls return zero. On error, -1 is returned,
and errno is set appropriately. For a given command, with flags
argument set to 0, this system call is guaranteed to always return the
same value until reboot.
ERRORS
ENOSYS System call is not implemented.
EINVAL Invalid arguments.

Pull libnvdimm subsystem from Dan Williams:
"The libnvdimm sub-system introduces, in addition to the
libnvdimm-core, 4 drivers / enabling modules:
NFIT:
Instantiates an "nvdimm bus" with the core and registers memory
devices (NVDIMMs) enumerated by the ACPI 6.0 NFIT (NVDIMM Firmware
Interface table).
After registering NVDIMMs the NFIT driver then registers "region"
devices. A libnvdimm-region defines an access mode and the
boundaries of persistent memory media. A region may span multiple
NVDIMMs that are interleaved by the hardware memory controller. In
turn, a libnvdimm-region can be carved into a "namespace" device and
bound to the PMEM or BLK driver which will attach a Linux block
device (disk) interface to the memory.
PMEM:
Initially merged in v4.1 this driver for contiguous spans of
persistent memory address ranges is re-worked to drive
PMEM-namespaces emitted by the libnvdimm-core.
In this update the PMEM driver, on x86, gains the ability to assert
that writes to persistent memory have been flushed all the way
through the caches and buffers in the platform to persistent media.
See memcpy_to_pmem() and wmb_pmem().
BLK:
This new driver enables access to persistent memory media through
"Block Data Windows" as defined by the NFIT. The primary difference
of this driver to PMEM is that only a small window of persistent
memory is mapped into system address space at any given point in
time.
Per-NVDIMM windows are reprogrammed at run time, per-I/O, to access
different portions of the media. BLK-mode, by definition, does not
support DAX.
BTT:
This is a library, optionally consumed by either PMEM or BLK, that
converts a byte-accessible namespace into a disk with atomic sector
update semantics (prevents sector tearing on crash or power loss).
The sinister aspect of sector tearing is that most applications do
not know they have a atomic sector dependency. At least today's
disk's rarely ever tear sectors and if they do one almost certainly
gets a CRC error on access. NVDIMMs will always tear and always
silently. Until an application is audited to be robust in the
presence of sector-tearing the usage of BTT is recommended.

Most discovery/configuration of the nvdimm-subsystem is done via sysfs
attributes. However, some nvdimm_bus instances, particularly the
ACPI.NFIT bus, define a small set of messages that can be passed to the
platform. For convenience we derive the initial libnvdimm-ioctl command
formats directly from the NFIT DSM Interface Example formats.
ND_CMD_SMART: media health and diagnostics
ND_CMD_GET_CONFIG_SIZE: size of the label space
ND_CMD_GET_CONFIG_DATA: read label space
ND_CMD_SET_CONFIG_DATA: write label space
ND_CMD_VENDOR: vendor-specific command passthrough
ND_CMD_ARS_CAP: report address-range-scrubbing capabilities
ND_CMD_ARS_START: initiate scrubbing
ND_CMD_ARS_STATUS: report on scrubbing state
ND_CMD_SMART_THRESHOLD: configure alarm thresholds for smart events
If a platform later defines different commands than this set it is
straightforward to extend support to those formats.
Most of the commands target a specific dimm. However, the
address-range-scrubbing commands target the bus. The 'commands'
attribute in sysfs of an nvdimm_bus, or nvdimm, enumerate the supported
commands for that object.

This patch adds a kms driver for the virtio gpu. The xorg modesetting
driver can handle the device just fine, the framebuffer for fbcon is
there too.
Qemu patches for the host side are under review currently.
The pci version of the device comes in two variants: with and without
vga compatibility. The former has a extra memory bar for the vga
framebuffer, the later is a pure virtio device. The only concern for
this driver is that in the virtio-vga case we have to kick out the
firmware framebuffer.
Initial revision has only 2d support, 3d (virgl) support requires
some more work on the qemu side and will be added later.

New functionality
* mup6050 - create mux clients for devices described via ACPI. The reasoning
and approach taken in this patch are complex. Basically there is no
otherway of finding out what is there than by some esoteric look ups in
the ACPI data.
* cm3232 - PM support
* itg3200 - suspend/resume support
* mcp320x - add more ADCs to the kconfig to reflect what the driver supports
(this patch and the bindings got left behind when the support was added
a while back).
Docs / utils
* ti-adc128s052 - DT bindings.
* mcp3422 - DT bindings.
* mcp320x - DT bindings
* ABI docs for event threshold scale attributes, in_magn_offset, proximity
scan_element and thresh falling/rising values for accelerometers. All
elements long in use that have slipped by being explicitly documented.
* Tidy up the tools previously in drivers/staging/iio/Documentation and move
them out to /tools/iio. Yet another move that should have happened long ago.
This time Roberta Dobrescu did the leg work. Thanks!
Core Cleanups
* Export userspace IIO headers. We should have done the appropriate header
splitting a long time ago. Thanks to Daniel for sorting this out.
* Refactor the registring of attributes for buffers to move all non-custom
ones to a vector allowing easier additions to the current set in the future.
Driver Cleanups
* gpiod related cleanups. Make use of the additional parameter to specify
initial direciton to avoid extra code.
* bmc150 - Various refactorings to reduce code repitition and prepare for
hardware buffer support. Some of these cleanups are good even
without the new functionality.
* kmx61 - direct use of index to an array avoiding a structure element which
was always the index to an element in an array of that structure.
* vf610 - avoid incorrect type for return from wait_for_completion_timeout.
* gp2ap020a00f - use put_unaligned_le32 for slight code simplification.
* ade7754 - improve error handling including suppressing some build warnings.
* ade7759 - improve error handling including suppressing some build warnings.
* hmc5843 - Long line and indentation fixes. Also some constifying of various
constant data.
* ade7854 - 80+ character line splitting.
* ad2s1210 - fix wrong printf format string.
* mxs-lradc - fix wrong printf format string.
* ade7954-i2c - code alignment fixes and other trivial but worthwhile bits.
* periodic rtc trigger - make the frequency type an unsigned int as it
is always treated as such.
* jsa1212 - constify struct regmap_config as it is constant.
* ad7793 - typo in the MODULE_DESCRIPTION
* mma9551 - check gpiod_to_irq errors. Note that this doesn't actually cause
any trouble but is worth tidying up as obviously incorrect.

* include/linux/types.h => include/uapi/linux/types.h
Now there is no need for nasty tricks to compile userspace programs

Pull media updates from Mauro Carvalho Chehab:
- Some documentation updates and a few new pixel formats
- Stop btcx-risc abuse by cx88 and move it to bt8xx driver
- New platform driver: am437x
- New webcam driver: toptek
- New remote controller hardware protocols added to img-ir driver
- Removal of a few very old drivers that relies on old kABIs and are
for very hard to find hardware: parallel port webcam drivers
(bw-qcam, c-cam, pms and w9966), tlg2300, Video In/Out for SGI (vino)
- Removal of the USB Telegent driver (tlg2300). The company that
developed this driver has long gone and the hardware is hard to find.
As it relies on a legacy set of kABI symbols and nobody seems to care
about it, remove it.
- several improvements at rtl2832 driver
- conversion on cx28521 and au0828 to use videobuf2 (VB2)
- several improvements, fixups and board additions

With this patch, a user can define an id for a peer netns by providing a FD or a
PID. These ids are local to the netns where it is added (ie valid only into this
netns).
The main function (ie the one exported to other module), peernet2id(), allows to
get the id of a peer netns. If no id has been assigned by the user, this
function allocates one.
These ids will be used in netlink messages to point to a peer netns, for example
in case of a x-netns interface.

Pull thermal management update from Zhang Rui:
"Summary:
- of-thermal extension to allow drivers to register and use its
functionality in a better way, without exploiting thermal core.
From Lukasz Majewski.
- Fix a bug in intel_soc_dts_thermal driver which calls a sleep
function in interrupt handler. From Maurice Petallo.
- add a thermal UAPI header file for exporting the thermal generic
netlink information to user-space. From Florian Fainelli.
- First round of refactoring in Exynos driver. Bartlomiej and Lukasz
are attempting to make it lean and easier to understand.
- New thermal driver for Rockchip (rk3288), with support for DT
thermal. From Caesar Wang.
- New thermal driver for Nvidia, Tegra124 SOCTHERM driver, with
support for DT thermal. From Mikko Perttunen.
