Pull x86 fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
 "A set of fixes and updates for x86:

   - Address a swiotlb regression which was caused by the recent DMA
     rework and made driver fail because dma_direct_supported() returned
     false

   - Fix a signedness bug in the APIC ID validation which caused invalid
     APIC IDs to be detected as valid thereby bloating the CPU possible
     space.

   - Fix inconsisten config dependcy/select magic for the MFD_CS5535
     driver.

   - Fix a corruption of the physical address space bits when encryption
     has reduced the address space and late cpuinfo updates overwrite
     the reduced bit information with the original value.

   - Dominiks syscall rework which consolidates the architecture
     specific syscall functions so all syscalls can be wrapped with the
     same macros. This allows to switch x86/64 to struct pt_regs based
     syscalls. Extend the clearing of user space controlled registers in
     the entry patch to the lower registers"

Pull more perf updates from Thomas Gleixner:
 "A rather large set of perf updates:

  Kernel:

   - Fix various initialization issues

   - Prevent creating [ku]probes for not CAP_SYS_ADMIN users

  Tooling:

   - Show only failing syscalls with 'perf trace --failure' (Arnaldo
     Carvalho de Melo)

            e.g: See what 'openat' syscalls are failing:

        # perf trace --failure -e openat
         762.323 ( 0.007 ms): VideoCapture/4566 openat(dfd: CWD, filename: /dev/video2) = -1 ENOENT No such file or directory
         
         790.228 ( 0.008 ms): VideoCapture/4566 openat(dfd: CWD, filename: /dev/video63) = -1 ENOENT No such file or directory
        ^C#

   - Show information about the event (freq, nr_samples, total
     period/nr_events) in the annotate --tui and --stdio2 'perf
     annotate' output, similar to the first line in the 'perf report
     --tui', but just for the samples for a the annotated symbol
     (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

   - Introduce 'perf version --build-options' to show what features were
     linked, aliased as well as a shorter 'perf -vv' (Jin Yao)

   - Add a "dso_size" sort order (Kim Phillips)

   - Remove redundant ')' in the tracepoint output in 'perf trace'
     (Changbin Du)

   - Synchronize x86's cpufeatures.h, no effect on toolss (Arnaldo
     Carvalho de Melo)

   - Show group details on the title line in the annotate browser and
     'perf annotate --stdio2' output, so that the per-event columns can
     have headers (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

   - Fixup vertical line separating metrics from instructions and
     cleaning unused lines at the bottom, both in the annotate TUI
     browser (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

   - Remove duplicated 'samples' in lost samples warning in
     'perf report' (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

   - Synchronize i915_drm.h, silencing the perf build process,
     automagically adding support for the new DRM_I915_QUERY ioctl
     (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

   - Make auxtrace_queues__add_buffer() allocate struct buffer, from a
     patchkit already applied (Adrian Hunter)

   - Fix the --stdio2/TUI annotate output to include group details, be
     it for a recorded '{a,b,f}' explicit event group or when forcing
     group display using 'perf report --group' for a set of events not
     recorded as a group (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

   - Fix display artifacts in the ui browser (base class for the
     annotate and main report/top TUI browser) related to the extra
     title lines work (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

   - perf auxtrace refactorings, leftovers from a previously partially
     processed patchset (Adrian Hunter)

   - Fix the builtin clang build (Sandipan Das, Arnaldo Carvalho de
     Melo)

   - Synchronize i915_drm.h, silencing a perf build warning and in the
     process automagically adding support for a new ioctl command
     (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

   - Fix a strncpy issue in uprobe tracing"

2018-04-15T19:29:46+00:00

Pull irq affinity fixes from Thomas Gleixner:

  - Fix error path handling in the affinity spreading code

  - Make affinity spreading smarter to avoid issues on systems which
    claim to have hotpluggable CPUs while in fact they can't hotplug
    anything.

    So instead of trying to spread the vectors (and thereby the
    associated device queues) to all possibe CPUs, spread them on all
    present CPUs first. If there are left over vectors after that first
    step they are spread among the possible, but not present CPUs which
    keeps the code backwards compatible for virtual decives and NVME
    which allocate a queue per possible CPU, but makes the spreading
    smarter for devices which have less queues than possible or present
    CPUs.

  genirq/affinity: Spread irq vectors among present CPUs as far as possible
  genirq/affinity: Allow irq spreading from a given starting point
  genirq/affinity: Move actual irq vector spreading into a helper function

kernel/kexec_file.c: allow archs to set purgatory load address

2018-04-14T00:10:28+00:00

For s390 new kernels are loaded to fixed addresses in memory before they
are booted.  With the current code this is a problem as it assumes the
kernel will be loaded to an 'arbitrary' address.  In particular,
kexec_locate_mem_hole searches for a large enough memory region and sets
the load address (kexec_bufer->mem) to it.

Luckily there is a simple workaround for this problem.  By returning 1
in arch_kexec_walk_mem, kexec_locate_mem_hole is turned off.  This
allows the architecture to set kbuf->mem by hand.  While the trick works
fine for the kernel it does not for the purgatory as here the
architectures don't have access to its kexec_buffer.

Give architectures access to the purgatories kexec_buffer by changing
kexec_load_purgatory to take a pointer to it.  With this change
architectures have access to the buffer and can edit it as they need.

A nice side effect of this change is that we can get rid of the
purgatory_info->purgatory_load_address field.  As now the information
stored there can directly be accessed from kbuf->mem.

kernel/kexec_file.c: remove mis-use of sh_offset field during purgatory load

2018-04-14T00:10:28+00:00

The current code uses the sh_offset field in purgatory_info->sechdrs to
store a pointer to the current load address of the section.  Depending
whether the section will be loaded or not this is either a pointer into
purgatory_info->purgatory_buf or kexec_purgatory.  This is not only a
violation of the ELF standard but also makes the code very hard to
understand as you cannot tell if the memory you are using is read-only
or not.

Remove this misuse and store the offset of the section in
pugaroty_info->purgatory_buf in sh_offset.

kernel/kexec_file.c: remove unneeded variables in kexec_purgatory_setup_sechdrs

2018-04-14T00:10:28+00:00

The main loop currently uses quite a lot of variables to update the
section headers.  Some of them are unnecessary.  So clean them up a
little.

kernel/kexec_file.c: remove unneeded for-loop in kexec_purgatory_setup_sechdrs

2018-04-14T00:10:28+00:00

To update the entry point there is an extra loop over all section
headers although this can be done in the main loop.  So move it there
and eliminate the extra loop and variable to store the 'entry section
index'.

Also, in the main loop, move the usual case, i.e.  non-bss section, out
of the extra if-block.

kernel/kexec_file.c: split up __kexec_load_puragory

2018-04-14T00:10:28+00:00

When inspecting __kexec_load_purgatory you find that it has two tasks

	1) setting up the kexec_buffer for the new kernel and,
	2) setting up pi->sechdrs for the final load address.

The two tasks are independent of each other.  To improve readability
split up __kexec_load_purgatory into two functions, one for each task,
and call them directly from kexec_load_purgatory.

kernel/kexec_file.c: use read-only sections in arch_kexec_apply_relocations*

2018-04-14T00:10:28+00:00

When the relocations are applied to the purgatory only the section the
relocations are applied to is writable.  The other sections, i.e.  the
symtab and .rel/.rela, are in read-only kexec_purgatory.  Highlight this
by marking the corresponding variables as 'const'.

While at it also change the signatures of arch_kexec_apply_relocations* to
take section pointers instead of just the index of the relocation section.
This removes the second lookup and sanity check of the sections in arch
code.
