Replace the existing /* fall through */ comments and its variants with
the new pseudo-keyword macro fallthrough[1]. Also, remove unnecessary
fall-through markings when it is the case.

Pull x86 entry code updates from Thomas Gleixner:

 - Convert the 32bit syscalls to be pt_regs based which removes the
   requirement to push all 6 potential arguments onto the stack and
   consolidates the interface with the 64bit variant

 - The first small portion of the exception and syscall related entry
   code consolidation which aims to address the recently discovered
   issues vs. RCU, int3, NMI and some other exceptions which can
   interrupt any context. The bulk of the changes is still work in
   progress and aimed for 5.8.

 - A few lockdep namespace cleanups which have been applied into this
   branch to keep the prerequisites for the ongoing work confined.

<title>lockdep: Introduce wait-type checks</title>
<updated>2020-03-21T15:00:24+00:00</updated>

<name>Peter Zijlstra</name>
<email>peterz@infradead.org</email>

<published>2020-03-21T11:26:01+00:00</published>
<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.toradex.cn/cgit/linux-toradex.git/commit/?id=de8f5e4f2dc1f032b46afda0a78cab5456974f89'/>
<id>de8f5e4f2dc1f032b46afda0a78cab5456974f89</id>
<content type='text'>
Extend lockdep to validate lock wait-type context.

The current wait-types are:

	LD_WAIT_FREE,		/* wait free, rcu etc.. */
	LD_WAIT_SPIN,		/* spin loops, raw_spinlock_t etc.. */
	LD_WAIT_CONFIG,		/* CONFIG_PREEMPT_LOCK, spinlock_t etc.. */
	LD_WAIT_SLEEP,		/* sleeping locks, mutex_t etc.. */

Where lockdep validates that the current lock (the one being acquired)
fits in the current wait-context (as generated by the held stack).

This ensures that there is no attempt to acquire mutexes while holding
spinlocks, to acquire spinlocks while holding raw_spinlocks and so on. In
other words, its a more fancy might_sleep().

Obviously RCU made the entire ordeal more complex than a simple single
value test because RCU can be acquired in (pretty much) any context and
while it presents a context to nested locks it is not the same as it
got acquired in.

Therefore its necessary to split the wait_type into two values, one
representing the acquire (outer) and one representing the nested context
(inner). For most 'normal' locks these two are the same.

[ To make static initialization easier we have the rule that:
  .outer == INV means .outer == .inner; because INV == 0. ]

It further means that its required to find the minimal .inner of the held
stack to compare against the outer of the new lock; because while 'normal'
RCU presents a CONFIG type to nested locks, if it is taken while already
holding a SPIN type it obviously doesn't relax the rules.

Below is an example output generated by the trivial test code:

  raw_spin_lock(&amp;foo);
  spin_lock(&amp;bar);
  spin_unlock(&amp;bar);
  raw_spin_unlock(&amp;foo);

 [ BUG: Invalid wait context ]
 -----------------------------
 swapper/0/1 is trying to lock:
 ffffc90000013f20 (&amp;bar){....}-{3:3}, at: kernel_init+0xdb/0x187
 other info that might help us debug this:
 1 lock held by swapper/0/1:
  #0: ffffc90000013ee0 (&amp;foo){+.+.}-{2:2}, at: kernel_init+0xd1/0x187

The way to read it is to look at the new -{n,m} part in the lock
description; -{3:3} for the attempted lock, and try and match that up to
the held locks, which in this case is the one: -{2,2}.

This tells that the acquiring lock requires a more relaxed environment than
presented by the lock stack.

Currently only the normal locks and RCU are converted, the rest of the
lockdep users defaults to .inner = INV which is ignored. More conversions
can be done when desired.

The check for spinlock_t nesting is not enabled by default. It's a separate
config option for now as there are known problems which are currently
addressed. The config option allows to identify these problems and to
verify that the solutions found are indeed solving them.

The config switch will be removed and the checks will permanently enabled
once the vast majority of issues has been addressed.

<title>treewide: Switch printk users from %pf and %pF to %ps and %pS, respectively</title>

<content type='text'>
%pF and %pf are functionally equivalent to %pS and %ps conversion
specifiers. The former are deprecated, therefore switch the current users
to use the preferred variant.

The changes have been produced by the following command:

	git grep -l '%p[fF]' | grep -v '^\(tools\|Documentation\)/' | \
	while read i; do perl -i -pe 's/%pf/%ps/g; s/%pF/%pS/g;' $i; done

And verifying the result.

There is a plan to build the kernel with -Wimplicit-fallthrough. The
fallthrough in __handle_irq_event_percpu() has a fallthrough annotation
which is followed by an additional comment and is not recognized by GCC.

Separate the 'fall through' and the rest of the comment with a dash so the
regular expression used by GCC matches.

The arm multi irq handler registration mechanism has been copied into a
handful of architectures, including arm64 and openrisc. RISC-V needs the
same mechanism.

Instead of adding yet another copy for RISC-V copy the arm implementation
into the core code depending on a new Kconfig symbol:
CONFIG_GENERIC_MULTI_IRQ_HANDLER.

Subsequent patches will convert the various architectures.

<title>genirq/timings: Add infrastructure to track the interrupt timings</title>

<id>b2d3d61adb7b73cfe5f82404f7a130a76fc64232</id>
<content type='text'>
The interrupt framework gives a lot of information about each interrupt. It
does not keep track of when those interrupts occur though, which is a
prerequisite for estimating the next interrupt arrival for power management
purposes.

Add a mechanism to record the timestamp for each interrupt occurrences in a
per-CPU circular buffer to help with the prediction of the next occurrence
using a statistical model.

Each CPU can store up to IRQ_TIMINGS_SIZE events &lt;irq, timestamp&gt;, the
current value of IRQ_TIMINGS_SIZE is 32.

Each event is encoded into a single u64, where the high 48 bits are used
for the timestamp and the low 16 bits are for the irq number.

A static key is introduced so when the irq prediction is switched off at
runtime, the overhead is near to zero.

It results in most of the code in internals.h for inline reasons and a very
few in the new file timings.c. The latter will contain more in the next patch
which will provide the statistical model for the next event prediction.
