   - Fix an uninitialized variable

   - Fix compile bug to bootconfig userspace tool (in tools directory)

   - Suppress some error messages of bootconfig userspace tool

   - Remove unneded CONFIG_LIBXBC from bootconfig

   - Allocate bootconfig xbc_nodes dynamically. To ease complaints about
     taking up static memory at boot up

   - Use of parse_args() to parse bootconfig instead of strstr() usage
     Prevents issues of double quotes containing the interested string

   - Fix missing ring_buffer_nest_end() on synthetic event error path

   - Return zero not -EINVAL on soft disabled synthetic event (soft
     disabling must be the same as hard disabling, which returns zero)

   - Consolidate synthetic event code (remove duplicate code)"

Since there is no user except CONFIG_BOOT_CONFIG and no plan
to use it from other functions, CONFIG_LIBXBC can be removed
and we can use CONFIG_BOOT_CONFIG directly.

2020-02-06T07:12:11+00:00

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:

 - Added new "bootconfig".

   This looks for a file appended to initrd to add boot config options,
   and has been discussed thoroughly at Linux Plumbers.

   Very useful for adding kprobes at bootup.

   Only enabled if "bootconfig" is on the real kernel command line.

 - Created dynamic event creation.

   Merges common code between creating synthetic events and kprobe
   events.

 - Rename perf "ring_buffer" structure to "perf_buffer"

 - Rename ftrace "ring_buffer" structure to "trace_buffer"

   Had to rename existing "trace_buffer" to "array_buffer"

 - Allow trace_printk() to work withing (some) tracing code.

 - Sort of tracing configs to be a little better organized

 - Fixed bug where ftrace_graph hash was not being protected properly

 - Various other small fixes and clean ups

lib/zlib: add s390 hardware support for kernel zlib_deflate

2020-01-31T18:30:40+00:00

Patch series "S390 hardware support for kernel zlib", v3.

With IBM z15 mainframe the new DFLTCC instruction is available.  It
implements deflate algorithm in hardware (Nest Acceleration Unit - NXU)
with estimated compression and decompression performance orders of
magnitude faster than the current zlib.

This patchset adds s390 hardware compression support to kernel zlib.
The code is based on the userspace zlib implementation:

	https://github.com/madler/zlib/pull/410

The coding style is also preserved for future maintainability.  There is
only limited set of userspace zlib functions represented in kernel.
Apart from that, all the memory allocation should be performed in
advance.  Thus, the workarea structures are extended with the parameter
lists required for the DEFLATE CONVENTION CALL instruction.

Since kernel zlib itself does not support gzip headers, only Adler-32
checksum is processed (also can be produced by DFLTCC facility).  Like
it was implemented for userspace, kernel zlib will compress in hardware
on level 1, and in software on all other levels.  Decompression will
always happen in hardware (when enabled).

Two DFLTCC compression calls produce the same results only when they
both are made on machines of the same generation, and when the
respective buffers have the same offset relative to the start of the
page.  Therefore care should be taken when using hardware compression
when reproducible results are desired.  However it does always produce
the standard conform output which can be inflated anyway.

The new kernel command line parameter 'dfltcc' is introduced to
configure s390 zlib hardware support:

    Format: { on | off | def_only | inf_only | always }
     on:       s390 zlib hardware support for compression on
               level 1 and decompression (default)
     off:      No s390 zlib hardware support
     def_only: s390 zlib hardware support for deflate
               only (compression on level 1)
     inf_only: s390 zlib hardware support for inflate
               only (decompression)
     always:   Same as 'on' but ignores the selected compression
               level always using hardware support (used for debugging)

The main purpose of the integration of the NXU support into the kernel
zlib is the use of hardware deflate in btrfs filesystem with on-the-fly
compression enabled.  Apart from that, hardware support can also be used
during boot for decompressing the kernel or the ramdisk image

With the patch for btrfs expanding zlib buffer from 1 to 4 pages (patch
6) the following performance results have been achieved using the
ramdisk with btrfs.  These are relative numbers based on throughput rate
and compression ratio for zlib level 1:

  Input data              Deflate rate   Inflate rate   Compression ratio
                          NXU/Software   NXU/Software   NXU/Software
  stream of zeroes        1.46           1.02           1.00
  random ASCII data       10.44          3.00           0.96
  ASCII text (dickens)    6,21           3.33           0.94
  binary data (vmlinux)   8,37           3.90           1.02

This means that s390 hardware deflate can provide up to 10 times faster
compression (on level 1) and up to 4 times faster decompression (refers
to all compression levels) for btrfs zlib.

Disclaimer: Performance results are based on IBM internal tests using DD
command-line utility on btrfs on a Fedora 30 based internal driver in
native LPAR on a z15 system.  Results may vary based on individual
workload, configuration and software levels.

This patch (of 9):

Create zlib_dfltcc library with the s390 DEFLATE CONVERSION CALL
implementation and related compression functions.  Update zlib_deflate
functions with the hooks for s390 hardware support and adjust workspace
structures with extra parameter lists required for hardware deflate.

bootconfig: Add Extra Boot Config support

2020-01-13T18:19:38+00:00

Extra Boot Config (XBC) allows admin to pass a tree-structured
boot configuration file when boot up the kernel. This extends
the kernel command line in an efficient way.

Boot config will contain some key-value commands, e.g.

key.word = value1
another.key.word = value2

It can fold same keys with braces, also you can write array
data. For example,

key {
   word1 {
      setting1 = data
      setting2
   }
   word2.array = "val1", "val2"
}

User can access these key-value pair and tree structure via
SKC APIs.

lib: provide a simple generic ioremap implementation

2019-11-11T20:18:20+00:00

A lot of architectures reuse the same simple ioremap implementation, so
start lifting the most simple variant to lib/ioremap.c.  It provides
ioremap_prot and iounmap, plus a default ioremap that uses prot_noncached,
although that can be overridden by asm/io.h.
