"These changes all relate to converting the IO access functions for the
ColdFire (and all other non-MMU m68k) platforms to use asm-generic IO

====================
pull-request: bpf-next 2018-06-05
The following pull-request contains BPF updates for your *net-next* tree.
The main changes are:
1) Add a new BPF hook for sendmsg similar to existing hooks for bind and
connect: "This allows to override source IP (including the case when it's
set via cmsg(3)) and destination IP:port for unconnected UDP (slow path).
TCP and connected UDP (fast path) are not affected. This makes UDP support
complete, that is, connected UDP is handled by connect hooks, unconnected
by sendmsg ones.", from Andrey.
2) Rework of the AF_XDP API to allow extending it in future for type writer
model if necessary. In this mode a memory window is passed to hardware
and multiple frames might be filled into that window instead of just one
that is the case in the current fixed frame-size model. With the new
changes made this can be supported without having to add a new descriptor
format. Also, core bits for the zero-copy support for AF_XDP have been
merged as agreed upon, where i40e bits will be routed via Jeff later on.
Various improvements to documentation and sample programs included as
well, all from Björn and Magnus.
3) Given BPF's flexibility, a new program type has been added to implement
infrared decoders. Quote: "The kernel IR decoders support the most
widely used IR protocols, but there are many protocols which are not
supported. [...] There is a 'long tail' of unsupported IR protocols,
for which lircd is need to decode the IR. IR encoding is done in such
a way that some simple circuit can decode it; therefore, BPF is ideal.
[...] user-space can define a decoder in BPF, attach it to the rc
device through the lirc chardev.", from Sean.
4) Several improvements and fixes to BPF core, among others, dumping map
and prog IDs into fdinfo which is a straight forward way to correlate
BPF objects used by applications, removing an indirect call and therefore
retpoline in all map lookup/update/delete calls by invoking the callback
directly for 64 bit archs, adding a new bpf_skb_cgroup_id() BPF helper
for tc BPF programs to have an efficient way of looking up cgroup v2 id
for policy or other use cases. Fixes to make sure we zero tunnel/xfrm
state that hasn't been filled, to allow context access wrt pt_regs in
32 bit archs for tracing, and last but not least various test cases
for fixes that landed in bpf earlier, from Daniel.
5) Get rid of the ndo_xdp_flush API and extend the ndo_xdp_xmit with
a XDP_XMIT_FLUSH flag instead which allows to avoid one indirect
call as flushing is now merged directly into ndo_xdp_xmit(), from Jesper.
6) Add a new bpf_get_current_cgroup_id() helper that can be used in
tracing to retrieve the cgroup id from the current process in order
to allow for e.g. aggregation of container-level events, from Yonghong.
7) Two follow-up fixes for BTF to reject invalid input values and
related to that also two test cases for BPF kselftests, from Martin.
8) Various API improvements to the bpf_fib_lookup() helper, that is,
dropping MPLS bits which are not fully hashed out yet, rejecting
invalid helper flags, returning error for unsupported address
families as well as renaming flowlabel to flowinfo, from David.
9) Various fixes and improvements to sockmap BPF kselftests in particular
in proper error detection and data verification, from Prashant.
10) Two arm32 BPF JIT improvements. One is to fix imm range check with
regards to whether immediate fits into 24 bits, and a naming cleanup
to get functions related to rsh handling consistent to those handling
lsh, from Wang.
11) Two compile warning fixes in BPF, one for BTF and a false positive
to silent gcc in stack_map_get_build_id_offset(), from Arnd.
12) Add missing seg6.h header into tools include infrastructure in order
to fix compilation of BPF kselftests, from Mathieu.
13) Several formatting cleanups in the BPF UAPI helper description that
also fix an error during rst2man compilation, from Quentin.
14) Hide an unused variable in sk_msg_convert_ctx_access() when IPv6 is
not built into the kernel, from Yue.
15) Remove a useless double assignment in dev_map_enqueue(), from Colin.

ASoC: Updates for v4.18
This is a very big update, mainly due to a huge set of new drivers some
of which are individually very large. We also have a lot of fixes for
the topology stuff, several of the users have stepped up and fixed some
the serious issues there, and continued progress on the transition away
from CODEC specific drivers to generic component drivers.
- Many fixes for the topology code, including fixes for the half done
v4 ABI compatibility from Guenter Roeck and other ABI fixes from
Kirill Marinushkin.
- Lots of cleanup for Intel platforms based on Realtek CODECs from Hans
de Goode.
- More followups on removing legacy CODEC things and transitioning to
components from Morimoto-san.
- Conversion of OMAP DMA to the new, more standard SDMA-PCM driver.
- A series of fixes and updates to the rather elderly Cirrus Logic SoC
drivers from Alexander Sverdlin.
- Qualcomm DSP support from Srinivas Kandagatla.

Pull x86 RAS updates from Thomas Gleixner:
- Fix a stack out of bounds write in the MCE error injection code.
- Avoid IPIs during CPU hotplug to read the MCx_MISC block address from

addresses are the same on all CPUs. So they can be read once and
local.

Pull irq updates from Thomas Gleixner:
- Consolidation of softirq pending:
The softirq mask and its accessors/mutators have many implementations
scattered around many architectures. Most do the same things
consisting in a field in a per-cpu struct (often irq_cpustat_t)
accessed through per-cpu ops. We can provide instead a generic
efficient version that most of them can use. In fact s390 is the only
exception because the field is stored in lowcore.
- Support for level!?! triggered MSI (ARM)
Over the past couple of years, we've seen some SoCs coming up with
ways of signalling level interrupts using a new flavor of MSIs, where
the MSI controller uses two distinct messages: one that raises a
virtual line, and one that lowers it. The target MSI controller is in
charge of maintaining the state of the line.
This allows for a much simplified HW signal routing (no need to have
hundreds of discrete lines to signal level interrupts if you already
have a memory bus), but results in a departure from the current idea
the kernel has of MSIs.

Pull locking updates from Ingo Molnar:
- Lots of tidying up changes all across the map for Linux's formal
memory/locking-model tooling, by Alan Stern, Akira Yokosawa, Andrea
Parri, Paul E. McKenney and SeongJae Park.
Notable changes beyond an overall update in the tooling itself is the
tidying up of spin_is_locked() semantics, which spills over into the
kernel proper as well.
- qspinlock improvements: the locking algorithm now guarantees forward
progress whereas the previous implementation in mainline could starve
threads indefinitely in cmpxchg() loops. Also other related cleanups
to the qspinlock code (Will Deacon)
- misc smaller improvements, cleanups and fixes all across the locking
subsystem

remains work to do on nds32, arc, unicore32, powerpc, arm, arm64, ia64

maintainable state. Most of that work involves refactoring the signal
handling code and thus careful code review.
Also not included is the work to shrink the in kernel version of
struct siginfo. That depends on getting the number of places that
directly manipulate struct siginfo under control, as it requires the
introduction of struct kernel_siginfo for the in kernel things.
Overall this set of changes looks like it is making good progress, and

'Commit d0659d946b ("KVM: x86: add option to advance tscdeadline
hrtimer expiration")' advances the tscdeadline (the timer is emulated
by hrtimer) expiration in order that the latency which is incurred
by hypervisor (apic_timer_fn -> vmentry) can be avoided. This patch
adds the advance tscdeadline expiration support to which the tscdeadline
timer is emulated by VMX preemption timer to reduce the hypervisor
lantency (handle_preemption_timer -> vmentry). The guest can also
set an expiration that is very small (for example in Linux if an
hrtimer feeds a expiration in the past); in that case we set delta_tsc
to 0, leading to an immediately vmexit when delta_tsc is not bigger than
advance ns.
This patch can reduce ~63% latency (~4450 cycles to ~1660 cycles on
a haswell desktop) for kvm-unit-tests/tscdeadline_latency when testing
busy waits.

This patch optimises the comparison by comparing word by word.
On the same way as commit 15c2d45d17 ("powerpc: Add 64bit
optimised memcmp"), this patch moves memcmp() into a dedicated
file named memcmp_32.S
