2017-02-26x86/platform/goldfish: Prevent unconditional loadingThomas Gleixner
commit 47512cfd0d7a8bd6ab71d01cd89fca19eb2093eb upstream. The goldfish platform code registers the platform device unconditionally which causes havoc in several ways if the goldfish_pdev_bus driver is enabled: - Access to the hardcoded physical memory region, which is either not available or contains stuff which is completely unrelated. - Prevents that the interrupt of the serial port can be requested - In case of a spurious interrupt it goes into a infinite loop in the interrupt handler of the pdev_bus driver (which needs to be fixed seperately). Add a 'goldfish' command line option to make the registration opt-in when the platform is compiled in. I'm seriously grumpy about this engineering trainwreck, which has seven SOBs from Intel developers for 50 lines of code. And none of them figured out that this is broken. Impressive fail!

2016-10-28Input: i8042 - skip selftest on ASUS laptopsMarcos Paulo de Souza
commit 930e19248e9b61da36c967687ca79c4d5f977919 upstream. On suspend/resume cycle, selftest is executed to reset i8042 controller. But when this is done in Asus devices, subsequent calls to detect/init functions to elantech driver fails. Skipping selftest fixes this problem. An easier step to reproduce this problem is adding i8042.reset=1 as a kernel parameter. On Asus laptops, it'll make the system to start with the touchpad already stuck, since psmouse_probe forcibly calls the selftest function. This patch was inspired by John Hiesey's change[1], but, since this problem affects a lot of models of Asus, let's avoid running selftests on them. All models affected by this problem: A455LD K401LB K501LB K501LX R409L V502LX X302LA X450LCP X450LD X455LAB X455LDB X455LF Z450LA [1]: https://marc.info/?l=linux-input&m=144312209020616&w=2 Fixes: "ETPS/2 Elantech Touchpad dies after resume from suspend" (https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=107971) Signed-off-by: Marcos Paulo de Souza <marcos.souza.org@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Dmitry Torokhov <dmitry.torokhov@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>

2015-11-05kernel/watchdog.c: perform all-CPU backtrace in case of hard lockupJiri Kosina
In many cases of hardlockup reports, it's actually not possible to know why it triggered, because the CPU that got stuck is usually waiting on a resource (with IRQs disabled) in posession of some other CPU is holding. IOW, we are often looking at the stacktrace of the victim and not the actual offender. Introduce sysctl / cmdline parameter that makes it possible to have hardlockup detector perform all-CPU backtrace.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm Pull power management and ACPI updates from Rafael Wysocki: "Quite a new features are included this time. First off, the Collaborative Processor Performance Control interface (version 2) defined by ACPI will now be supported on ARM64 along with a cpufreq frontend for CPU performance scaling. Second, ACPI gets a new infrastructure for the early probing of IRQ chips and clock sources (along the lines of the existing similar mechanism for DT). Next, the ACPI core and the generic device properties API will now support a recently introduced hierarchical properties extension of the _DSD (Device Specific Data) ACPI device configuration object. If the ACPI platform firmware uses that extension to organize device properties in a hierarchical way, the kernel will automatically handle it and make those properties available to device drivers via the generic device properties API. It also will be possible to build the ACPICA's AML interpreter debugger into the kernel now and use that to diagnose AML-related problems more efficiently. In the future, this should make it possible to single-step AML execution and do similar things. Interesting stuff, although somewhat experimental at this point. Finally, the PM core gets a new mechanism that can be used by device drivers to distinguish between suspend-to-RAM (based on platform firmware support) and suspend-to-idle (or other variants of system suspend the platform firmware is not involved in) and possibly optimize their device suspend/resume handling accordingly. In addition to that, some existing features are re-organized quite substantially. First, the ACPI-based handling of PCI host bridges on x86 and ia64 is unified and the common code goes into the ACPI core (so as to reduce code duplication and eliminate non-essential differences between the two architectures in that area). Second, the Operating Performance Points (OPP) framework is reorganized to make the code easier to find and follow. Next, the cpufreq core's sysfs interface is reorganized to get rid of the "primary CPU" concept for configurations in which the same performance scaling settings are shared between multiple CPUs. Finally, some interfaces that aren't necessary any more are dropped from the generic power domains framework. On top of the above we have some minor extensions, cleanups and bug fixes in multiple places, as usual. Specifics: - ACPICA update to upstream revision 20150930 (Bob Moore, Lv Zheng). The most significant change is to allow the AML debugger to be built into the kernel. On top of that there is an update related to the NFIT table (the ACPI persistent memory interface) and a few fixes and cleanups. - ACPI CPPC2 (Collaborative Processor Performance Control v2) support along with a cpufreq frontend (Ashwin Chaugule). This can only be enabled on ARM64 at this point. - New ACPI infrastructure for the early probing of IRQ chips and clock sources (Marc Zyngier). - Support for a new hierarchical properties extension of the ACPI _DSD (Device Specific Data) device configuration object allowing the kernel to handle hierarchical properties (provided by the platform firmware this way) automatically and make them available to device drivers via the generic device properties interface (Rafael Wysocki). - Generic device properties API extension to obtain an index of certain string value in an array of strings, along the lines of of_property_match_string(), but working for all of the supported firmware node types, and support for the "dma-names" device property based on it (Mika Westerberg). - ACPI core fix to parse the MADT (Multiple APIC Description Table) entries in the order expected by platform firmware (and mandated by the specification) to avoid confusion on systems with more than 255 logical CPUs (Lukasz Anaczkowski). - Consolidation of the ACPI-based handling of PCI host bridges on x86 and ia64 (Jiang Liu). - ACPI core fixes to ensure that the correct IRQ number is used to represent the SCI (System Control Interrupt) in the cases when it has been re-mapped (Chen Yu). - New ACPI backlight quirk for Lenovo IdeaPad S405 (Hans de Goede). - ACPI EC driver fixes (Lv Zheng). - Assorted ACPI fixes and cleanups (Dan Carpenter, Insu Yun, Jiri Kosina, Rami Rosen, Rasmus Villemoes). - New mechanism in the PM core allowing drivers to check if the platform firmware is going to be involved in the upcoming system suspend or if it has been involved in the suspend the system is resuming from at the moment (Rafael Wysocki). This should allow drivers to optimize their suspend/resume handling in some cases and the changes include a couple of users of it (the i8042 input driver, PCI PM). - PCI PM fix to prevent runtime-suspended devices with PME enabled from being resumed during system suspend even if they aren't configured to wake up the system from sleep (Rafael Wysocki). - New mechanism to report the number of a wakeup IRQ that woke up the system from sleep last time (Alexandra Yates). - Removal of unused interfaces from the generic power domains framework and fixes related to latency measurements in that code (Ulf Hansson, Daniel Lezcano). - cpufreq core sysfs interface rework to make it handle CPUs that share performance scaling settings (represented by a common cpufreq policy object) more symmetrically (Viresh Kumar). This should help to simplify the CPU offline/online handling among other things. - cpufreq core fixes and cleanups (Viresh Kumar). - intel_pstate fixes related to the Turbo Activation Ratio (TAR) mechanism on client platforms which causes the turbo P-states range to vary depending on platform firmware settings (Srinivas Pandruvada). - intel_pstate sysfs interface fix (Prarit Bhargava). - Assorted cpufreq driver (imx, tegra20, powernv, integrator) fixes and cleanups (Bai Ping, Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz, Shilpasri G Bhat, Luis de Bethencourt). - cpuidle mvebu driver cleanups (Russell King). - OPP (Operating Performance Points) framework code reorganization to make it more maintainable (Viresh Kumar). - Intel Broxton support for the RAPL (Running Average Power Limits) power capping driver (Amy Wiles). - Assorted power management code fixes and cleanups (Dan Carpenter, Geert Uytterhoeven, Geliang Tang, Luis de Bethencourt, Rasmus Villemoes)" * tag 'pm+acpi-4.4-rc1-1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm: (108 commits) cpufreq: postfix policy directory with the first CPU in related_cpus cpufreq: create cpu/cpufreq/policyX directories cpufreq: remove cpufreq_sysfs_{create|remove}_file() cpufreq: create cpu/cpufreq at boot time cpufreq: Use cpumask_copy instead of cpumask_or to copy a mask cpufreq: ondemand: Drop unnecessary locks from update_sampling_rate() PM / Domains: Merge measurements for PM QoS device latencies PM / Domains: Don't measure ->start|stop() latency in system PM callbacks PM / clk: Fix broken build due to non-matching code and header #ifdefs ACPI / Documentation: add copy_dsdt to ACPI format options ACPI / sysfs: correctly check failing memory allocation ACPI / video: Add a quirk to force native backlight on Lenovo IdeaPad S405 ACPI / CPPC: Fix potential memory leak ACPI / CPPC: signedness bug in register_pcc_channel() ACPI / PAD: power_saving_thread() is not freezable ACPI / PM: Fix incorrect wakeup IRQ setting during suspend-to-idle ACPI: Using correct irq when waiting for events ACPI: Use correct IRQ when uninstalling ACPI interrupt handler cpuidle: mvebu: disable the bind/unbind attributes and use builtin_platform_driver cpuidle: mvebu: clean up multiple platform drivers ...

For example, if "efi_fake_mem=2G@4G:0x10000,2G@0x10a0000000:0x10000" is specified, the original (firmware provided) EFI memmap will be updated so that the specified memory regions have EFI_MEMORY_MORE_RELIABLE attribute (0x10000): <original> efi: mem36: [Conventional Memory| | | | | | |WB|WT|WC|UC] range=[0x0000000100000000-0x00000020a0000000) (129536MB) <updated> efi: mem36: [Conventional Memory| |MR| | | | |WB|WT|WC|UC] range=[0x0000000100000000-0x0000000180000000) (2048MB) efi: mem37: [Conventional Memory| | | | | | |WB|WT|WC|UC] range=[0x0000000180000000-0x00000010a0000000) (61952MB) efi: mem38: [Conventional Memory| |MR| | | | |WB|WT|WC|UC] range=[0x00000010a0000000-0x0000001120000000) (2048MB) efi: mem39: [Conventional Memory| | | | | | |WB|WT|WC|UC] range=[0x0000001120000000-0x00000020a0000000) (63488MB) And you will find that the following message is output: efi: Memory: 4096M/131455M mirrored memory Signed-off-by: Taku Izumi <izumi.taku@jp.fujitsu.com> Cc: Tony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com> Cc: Xishi Qiu <qiuxishi@huawei.com> Cc: Kamezawa Hiroyuki <kamezawa.hiroyu@jp.fujitsu.com> Cc: Ard Biesheuvel <ard.biesheuvel@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Matt Fleming <matt.fleming@intel.com>

2015-10-06rcu: Eliminate panic when silly boot-time fanout specifiedPaul E. McKenney
This commit loosens rcutree.rcu_fanout_leaf range checks and replaces a panic() with a fallback to compile-time values. This fallback is accompanied by a WARN_ON(), and both occur when the rcutree.rcu_fanout_leaf value is too small to accommodate the number of CPUs. For example, given the current four-level limit for the rcu_node tree, a system with more than 16 CPUs built with CONFIG_FANOUT=2 must have rcutree.rcu_fanout_leaf larger than 2.

2015-08-20xen: allow more than 512 GB of RAM for 64 bit pv-domainsJuergen Gross
64 bit pv-domains under Xen are limited to 512 GB of RAM today. The main reason has been the 3 level p2m tree, which was replaced by the virtual mapped linear p2m list. Parallel to the p2m list which is being used by the kernel itself there is a 3 level mfn tree for usage by the Xen tools and eventually for crash dump analysis. For this tree the linear p2m list can serve as a replacement, too. As the kernel can't know whether the tools are capable of dealing with the p2m list instead of the mfn tree, the limit of 512 GB can't be dropped in all cases. This patch replaces the hard limit by a kernel parameter which tells the kernel to obey the 512 GB limit or not. The default is selected by a configuration parameter which specifies whether the 512 GB limit should be active per default for domUs (domain save/restore/migration and crash dump analysis are affected). Memory above the domain limit is returned to the hypervisor instead of being identity mapped, which was wrong anyway. The kernel configuration parameter to specify the maximum size of a domain can be deleted, as it is not relevant any more.

2015-07-03ACPI / init: Make it possible to override _REVRafael J. Wysocki
The platform firmware on some systems expects Linux to return "5" as the supported ACPI revision which makes it expose system configuration information in a special way. For example, based on what ACPI exports as the supported revision, Dell XPS 13 (2015) configures its audio device to either work in HDA mode or in I2S mode, where the former is supposed to be used on Linux until the latter is fully supported (in the kernel as well as in user space). Since ACPI 6 mandates that _REV should return "2" if ACPI 2 or later is supported by the OS, a subsequent change will make that happen, so make it possible to override that on systems where "5" is expected to be returned for Linux to work correctly one them (such as the Dell machine mentioned above).

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm Pull power management and ACPI updates from Rafael Wysocki: "The rework of backlight interface selection API from Hans de Goede stands out from the number of commits and the number of affected places perspective. The cpufreq core fixes from Viresh Kumar are quite significant too as far as the number of commits goes and because they should reduce CPU online/offline overhead quite a bit in the majority of cases. From the new featues point of view, the ACPICA update (to upstream revision 20150515) adding support for new ACPI 6 material to ACPICA is the one that matters the most as some new significant features will be based on it going forward. Also included is an update of the ACPI device power management core to follow ACPI 6 (which in turn reflects the Windows' device PM implementation), a PM core extension to support wakeup interrupts in a more generic way and support for the ACPI _CCA device configuration object. The rest is mostly fixes and cleanups all over and some documentation updates, including new DT bindings for Operating Performance Points. There is one fix for a regression introduced in the 4.1 cycle, but it adds quite a number of lines of code, it wasn't really ready before Thursday and you were on vacation, so I refrained from pushing it on the last minute for 4.1. Specifics: - ACPICA update to upstream revision 20150515 including basic support for ACPI 6 features: new ACPI tables introduced by ACPI 6 (STAO, XENV, WPBT, NFIT, IORT), changes related to the other tables (DTRM, FADT, LPIT, MADT), new predefined names (_BTH, _CR3, _DSD, _LPI, _MTL, _PRR, _RDI, _RST, _TFP, _TSN), fixes and cleanups (Bob Moore, Lv Zheng). - ACPI device power management core code update to follow ACPI 6 which reflects the ACPI device power management implementation in Windows (Rafael J Wysocki). - rework of the backlight interface selection logic to reduce the number of kernel command line options and improve the handling of DMI quirks that may be involved in that and to make the code generally more straightforward (Hans de Goede). - fixes for the ACPI Embedded Controller (EC) driver related to the handling of EC transactions (Lv Zheng). - fix for a regression related to the ACPI resources management and resulting from a recent change of ACPI initialization code ordering (Rafael J Wysocki). - fix for a system initialization regression related to ACPI introduced during the 3.14 cycle and caused by running the code that switches the platform over to the ACPI mode too early in the initialization sequence (Rafael J Wysocki). - support for the ACPI _CCA device configuration object related to DMA cache coherence (Suravee Suthikulpanit). - ACPI/APEI fixes and cleanups (Jiri Kosina, Borislav Petkov). - ACPI battery driver cleanups (Luis Henriques, Mathias Krause). - ACPI processor driver cleanups (Hanjun Guo). - cleanups and documentation update related to the ACPI device properties interface based on _DSD (Rafael J Wysocki). - ACPI device power management fixes (Rafael J Wysocki). - assorted cleanups related to ACPI (Dominik Brodowski, Fabian Frederick, Lorenzo Pieralisi, Mathias Krause, Rafael J Wysocki). - fix for a long-standing issue causing General Protection Faults to be generated occasionally on return to user space after resume from ACPI-based suspend-to-RAM on 32-bit x86 (Ingo Molnar). - fix to make the suspend core code return -EBUSY consistently in all cases when system suspend is aborted due to wakeup detection (Ruchi Kandoi). - support for automated device wakeup IRQ handling allowing drivers to make their PM support more starightforward (Tony Lindgren). - new tracepoints for suspend-to-idle tracing and rework of the prepare/complete callbacks tracing in the PM core (Todd E Brandt, Rafael J Wysocki). - wakeup sources framework enhancements (Jin Qian). - new macro for noirq system PM callbacks (Grygorii Strashko). - assorted cleanups related to system suspend (Rafael J Wysocki). - cpuidle core cleanups to make the code more efficient (Rafael J Wysocki). - powernv/pseries cpuidle driver update (Shilpasri G Bhat). - cpufreq core fixes related to CPU online/offline that should reduce the overhead of these operations quite a bit, unless the CPU in question is physically going away (Viresh Kumar, Saravana Kannan). - serialization of cpufreq governor callbacks to avoid race conditions in some cases (Viresh Kumar). - intel_pstate driver fixes and cleanups (Doug Smythies, Prarit Bhargava, Joe Konno). - cpufreq driver (arm_big_little, cpufreq-dt, qoriq) updates (Sudeep Holla, Felipe Balbi, Tang Yuantian). - assorted cleanups in cpufreq drivers and core (Shailendra Verma, Fabian Frederick, Wang Long). - new Device Tree bindings for representing Operating Performance Points (Viresh Kumar). - updates for the common clock operations support code in the PM core (Rajendra Nayak, Geert Uytterhoeven). - PM domains core code update (Geert Uytterhoeven). - Intel Knights Landing support for the RAPL (Running Average Power Limit) power capping driver (Dasaratharaman Chandramouli). - fixes related to the floor frequency setting on Atom SoCs in the RAPL power capping driver (Ajay Thomas). - runtime PM framework documentation update (Ben Dooks). - cpupower tool fix (Herton R Krzesinski)" * tag 'pm+acpi-4.2-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm: (194 commits) cpuidle: powernv/pseries: Auto-promotion of snooze to deeper idle state x86: Load __USER_DS into DS/ES after resume PM / OPP: Add binding for 'opp-suspend' PM / OPP: Allow multiple OPP tables to be passed via DT PM / OPP: Add new bindings to address shortcomings of existing bindings ACPI: Constify ACPI device IDs in documentation ACPI / enumeration: Document the rules regarding the PRP0001 device ID ACPI / video: Make acpi_video_unregister_backlight() private acpi-video-detect: Remove old API toshiba-acpi: Port to new backlight interface selection API thinkpad-acpi: Port to new backlight interface selection API sony-laptop: Port to new backlight interface selection API samsung-laptop: Port to new backlight interface selection API msi-wmi: Port to new backlight interface selection API msi-laptop: Port to new backlight interface selection API intel-oaktrail: Port to new backlight interface selection API ideapad-laptop: Port to new backlight interface selection API fujitsu-laptop: Port to new backlight interface selection API eeepc-laptop: Port to new backlight interface selection API dell-wmi: Port to new backlight interface selection API ...
2015-06-22Merge branch 'x86-core-for-linus' of ↵Linus Torvalds
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip Pull x86 core updates from Ingo Molnar: "There were so many changes in the x86/asm, x86/apic and x86/mm topics in this cycle that the topical separation of -tip broke down somewhat - so the result is a more traditional architecture pull request, collected into the 'x86/core' topic. The topics were still maintained separately as far as possible, so bisectability and conceptual separation should still be pretty good - but there were a handful of merge points to avoid excessive dependencies (and conflicts) that would have been poorly tested in the end. The next cycle will hopefully be much more quiet (or at least will have fewer dependencies). The main changes in this cycle were: * x86/apic changes, with related IRQ core changes: (Jiang Liu, Thomas Gleixner) - This is the second and most intrusive part of changes to the x86 interrupt handling - full conversion to hierarchical interrupt domains: [IOAPIC domain] ----- | [MSI domain] --------[Remapping domain] ----- [ Vector domain ] | (optional) | [HPET MSI domain] ----- | | [DMAR domain] ----------------------------- | [Legacy domain] ----------------------------- This now reflects the actual hardware and allowed us to distangle the domain specific code from the underlying parent domain, which can be optional in the case of interrupt remapping. It's a clear separation of functionality and removes quite some duct tape constructs which plugged the remap code between ioapic/msi/hpet and the vector management. - Intel IOMMU IRQ remapping enhancements, to allow direct interrupt injection into guests (Feng Wu) * x86/asm changes: - Tons of cleanups and small speedups, micro-optimizations. This is in preparation to move a good chunk of the low level entry code from assembly to C code (Denys Vlasenko, Andy Lutomirski, Brian Gerst) - Moved all system entry related code to a new home under arch/x86/entry/ (Ingo Molnar) - Removal of the fragile and ugly CFI dwarf debuginfo annotations. Conversion to C will reintroduce many of them - but meanwhile they are only getting in the way, and the upstream kernel does not rely on them (Ingo Molnar) - NOP handling refinements. (Borislav Petkov) * x86/mm changes: - Big PAT and MTRR rework: making the code more robust and preparing to phase out exposing direct MTRR interfaces to drivers - in favor of using PAT driven interfaces (Toshi Kani, Luis R Rodriguez, Borislav Petkov) - New ioremap_wt()/set_memory_wt() interfaces to support Write-Through cached memory mappings. This is especially important for good performance on NVDIMM hardware (Toshi Kani) * x86/ras changes: - Add support for deferred errors on AMD (Aravind Gopalakrishnan) This is an important RAS feature which adds hardware support for poisoned data. That means roughly that the hardware marks data which it has detected as corrupted but wasn't able to correct, as poisoned data and raises an APIC interrupt to signal that in the form of a deferred error. It is the OS's responsibility then to take proper recovery action and thus prolonge system lifetime as far as possible. - Add support for Intel "Local MCE"s: upcoming CPUs will support CPU-local MCE interrupts, as opposed to the traditional system- wide broadcasted MCE interrupts (Ashok Raj) - Misc cleanups (Borislav Petkov) * x86/platform changes: - Intel Atom SoC updates ... and lots of other cleanups, fixlets and other changes - see the shortlog and the Git log for details" * 'x86-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (222 commits) x86/hpet: Use proper hpet device number for MSI allocation x86/hpet: Check for irq==0 when allocating hpet MSI interrupts x86/mm/pat, drivers/infiniband/ipath: Use arch_phys_wc_add() and require PAT disabled x86/mm/pat, drivers/media/ivtv: Use arch_phys_wc_add() and require PAT disabled x86/platform/intel/baytrail: Add comments about why we disabled HPET on Baytrail genirq: Prevent crash in irq_move_irq() genirq: Enhance irq_data_to_desc() to support hierarchy irqdomain iommu, x86: Properly handle posted interrupts for IOMMU hotplug iommu, x86: Provide irq_remapping_cap() interface iommu, x86: Setup Posted-Interrupts capability for Intel iommu iommu, x86: Add cap_pi_support() to detect VT-d PI capability iommu, x86: Avoid migrating VT-d posted interrupts iommu, x86: Save the mode (posted or remapped) of an IRTE iommu, x86: Implement irq_set_vcpu_affinity for intel_ir_chip iommu: dmar: Provide helper to copy shared irte fields iommu: dmar: Extend struct irte for VT-d Posted-Interrupts iommu: Add new member capability to struct irq_remap_ops x86/asm/entry/64: Disentangle error_entry/exit gsbase/ebx/usermode code x86/asm/entry/32: Shorten __audit_syscall_entry() args preparation x86/asm/entry/32: Explain reloading of registers after __audit_syscall_entry() ...

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip Pull x86 FPU updates from Ingo Molnar: "This tree contains two main changes: - The big FPU code rewrite: wide reaching cleanups and reorganization that pulls all the FPU code together into a clean base in arch/x86/fpu/. The resulting code is leaner and faster, and much easier to understand. This enables future work to further simplify the FPU code (such as removing lazy FPU restores). By its nature these changes have a substantial regression risk: FPU code related bugs are long lived, because races are often subtle and bugs mask as user-space failures that are difficult to track back to kernel side backs. I'm aware of no unfixed (or even suspected) FPU related regression so far. - MPX support rework/fixes.

2015-06-16ima: update builtin policiesMimi Zohar
This patch defines a builtin measurement policy "tcb", similar to the existing "ima_tcb", but with additional rules to also measure files based on the effective uid and to measure files opened with the "read" mode bit set (eg. read, read-write). Changing the builtin "ima_tcb" policy could potentially break existing users. Instead of defining a new separate boot command line option each time the builtin measurement policy is modified, this patch defines a single generic boot command line option "ima_policy=" to specify the builtin policy and deprecates the use of the builtin ima_tcb policy. [The "ima_policy=" boot command line option is based on Roberto Sassu's "ima: added new policy type exec" patch.] Signed-off-by: Mimi Zohar <zohar@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Dr. Greg Wettstein <gw@idfusion.org> Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org
