7405c0f01a Miscellaneous x86 fixes and updates:
- Fix a large number of x86 Kconfig dependency and help text accuracy
    bugs/problems, by Mateusz Jończyk and David Heideberg.
 
  - Fix a VM_PAT interaction with fork() crash. This also touches
    core kernel code.
 
  - Fix an ORC unwinder bug for interrupt entries
 
  - Fixes and cleanups.
 
  - Fix an AMD microcode loader bug that can promote verification failures
    into success.
 
  - Add early-printk support for MMIO based UARTs on an x86 board that
    had no other serial debugging facility and also experienced early
    boot crashes.

0ccff074d6 fwctl first pull request
fwctl is a new subsystem intended to bring some common rules and order to
 the growing pattern of exposing a secure FW interface directly to
 userspace. Unlike existing places like RDMA/DRM/VFIO/uacce that are
 exposing a device for datapath operations fwctl is focused on debugging,
 configuration and provisioning of the device. It will not have the
 necessary features like interrupt delivery to support a datapath.
 
 This concept is similar to the long standing practice in the "HW" RAID
 space of having a device specific misc device to manage the RAID
 controller FW. fwctl generalizes this notion of a companion debug and
 management interface that goes along with a dataplane implemented in an
 appropriate subsystem.
 
 There have been three LWN articles written discussing various aspects of
 this:
 
  https://lwn.net/Articles/955001/
  https://lwn.net/Articles/969383/
  https://lwn.net/Articles/990802/
 
 This pull requests includes three drivers to launch the subsystem:
 
  - CXL provides a vendor scheme for executing commands and a way to learn
    the 'command effects' (ie the security properties) of such
    commands. The fwctl driver allows access to these mechanism within the
    fwctl security model
 
  - mlx5 is family of networking products, the driver supports all current
    Mellanox HW still receiving FW feature updates. This includes RDMA
    multiprotocol NICs like ConnectX and the Bluefield family of Smart
    NICs.
 
  - AMD/Pensando Distributed Services card is a multi protocol Smart NIC
    with a multi PCI function design. fwctl works on the management PCI
    function following a 'command effects' model similar to CXL.

 - New option "printk.debug_non_panic_cpus" allows to store printk
   messages from non-panic CPUs during panic. It might be useful when

   chance to see the messages printed before panic() and on the
   panic-CPU.

 - New build option "CONFIG_NULL_TTY_DEFAULT_CONSOLE" allows to build
   kernel without the virtual terminal support which prefers ttynull
   over serial console.

744fab2d9f tracing updates for v6.15:
- Add option traceoff_after_boot
 
   In order to debug kernel boot, it sometimes is helpful to enable tracing
   via the kernel command line. Unfortunately, by the time the login prompt
   appears, the trace is overwritten by the init process and other user space
   start up applications. Adding a "traceoff_after_boot" will disable tracing
   when the kernel passes control to init which will allow developers to be
   able to see the traces that occurred during boot.
 
 - Clean up the mmflags macros that display the GFP flags in trace events
 
   The macros to print the GFP flags for trace events had a bit of
   duplication. The code was restructured to remove duplication and in the
   process it also adds some flags that were missed before.
 
 - Removed some dead code and scripts/draw_functrace.py
 
   draw_functrace.py hasn't worked in years and as nobody complained
   about it, remove it.
 
 - Constify struct event_trigger_ops
 
   The event_trigger_ops is just a structure that has function pointers that
   are assigned when the variables are created. These variables should all be
   constants.

22093997ac ata changes for 6.15
- Add 'external' to the libata.force module parameter, in order to
    allow a user to workaround broken firmware (me)
 
  - Use the str_up_down() helper in the sata_via driver (Salah Triki)
 
  - Convert the Freescale PowerQUICC SATA device tree binding to YAML
    (J. Neuschäfer)
 
  - Do not use ATAPI DMA for a device that only supports PIO (me)
 
  - Add Marvell 88SE9215 PCI device ID to the ahci driver.
    Since the controller has quirks, it cannot rely on the generic
    AHCI PCI class code entry (Daniel Kral)
 
  - Improve the return value of atapi_check_dma() (Huacai Chen)
 
  - Fix the NCQ Non-Data log not supported print to actually reference
    the correct log (me)

7d20aa5c32 Power management updates for 6.15-rc1
- Manage sysfs attributes and boost frequencies efficiently from
    cpufreq core to reduce boilerplate code in drivers (Viresh Kumar).
 
  - Minor cleanups to cpufreq drivers (Aaron Kling, Benjamin Schneider,
    Dhananjay Ugwekar, Imran Shaik, zuoqian).
 
  - Migrate some cpufreq drivers to using for_each_present_cpu() (Jacky
    Bai).
 
  - cpufreq-qcom-hw DT binding fixes (Krzysztof Kozlowski).
 
  - Use str_enable_disable() helper in cpufreq_online() (Lifeng Zheng).
 
  - Optimize the amd-pstate driver to avoid cases where call paths end
    up calling the same writes multiple times and needlessly caching
    variables through code reorganization, locking overhaul and tracing
    adjustments (Mario Limonciello, Dhananjay Ugwekar).
 
  - Make it possible to avoid enabling capacity-aware scheduling (CAS) in
    the intel_pstate driver and relocate a check for out-of-band (OOB)
    platform handling in it to make it detect OOB before checking HWP
    availability (Rafael Wysocki).
 
  - Fix dbs_update() to avoid inadvertent conversions of negative integer
    values to unsigned int which causes CPU frequency selection to be
    inaccurate in some cases when the "conservative" cpufreq governor is
    in use (Jie Zhan).
 
  - Update the handling of the most recent idle intervals in the menu
    cpuidle governor to prevent useful information from being discarded
    by it in some cases and improve the prediction accuracy (Rafael
    Wysocki).
 
  - Make it possible to tell the intel_idle driver to ignore its built-in
    table of idle states for the given processor, clean up the handling
    of auto-demotion disabling on Baytrail and Cherrytrail chips in it,
    and update its MAINTAINERS entry (David Arcari, Artem Bityutskiy,
    Rafael Wysocki).
 
  - Make some cpuidle drivers use for_each_present_cpu() instead of
    for_each_possible_cpu() during initialization to avoid issues
    occurring when nosmp or maxcpus=0 are used (Jacky Bai).
 
  - Clean up the Energy Model handling code somewhat (Rafael Wysocki).
 
  - Use kfree_rcu() to simplify the handling of runtime Energy Model
    updates (Li RongQing).
 
  - Add an entry for the Energy Model framework to MAINTAINERS as
    properly maintained (Lukasz Luba).
 
  - Address RCU-related sparse warnings in the Energy Model code (Rafael
    Wysocki).
 
  - Remove ENERGY_MODEL dependency on SMP and allow it to be selected
    when DEVFREQ is set without CPUFREQ so it can be used on a wider
    range of systems (Jeson Gao).
 
  - Unify error handling during runtime suspend and runtime resume in the
    core to help drivers to implement more consistent runtime PM error
    handling (Rafael Wysocki).
 
  - Drop a redundant check from pm_runtime_force_resume() and rearrange
    documentation related to __pm_runtime_disable() (Rafael Wysocki).
 
  - Rework the handling of the "smart suspend" driver flag in the PM core
    to avoid issues hat may occur when drivers using it depend on some
    other drivers and clean up the related PM core code (Rafael Wysocki,
    Colin Ian King).
 
  - Fix the handling of devices with the power.direct_complete flag set
    if device_suspend() returns an error for at least one device to avoid
    situations in which some of them may not be resumed (Rafael Wysocki).
 
  - Use mutex_trylock() in hibernate_compressor_param_set() to avoid a
    possible deadlock that may occur if the "compressor" hibernation
    module parameter is accessed during the registration of a new
    ieee80211 device (Lizhi Xu).
 
  - Suppress sleeping parent warning in device_pm_add() in the case when
    new children are added under a device with the power.direct_complete
    set after it has been processed by device_resume() (Xu Yang).
 
  - Remove needless return in three void functions related to system
    wakeup (Zijun Hu).
 
  - Replace deprecated kmap_atomic() with kmap_local_page() in the
    hibernation core code (David Reaver).
 
  - Remove unused helper functions related to system sleep (David Alan
    Gilbert).
 
  - Clean up s2idle_enter() so it does not lock and unlock CPU offline
    in vain and update comments in it (Ulf Hansson).
 
  - Clean up broken white space in dpm_wait_for_children() (Geert
    Uytterhoeven).
 
  - Update the cpupower utility to fix lib version-ing in it and memory
    leaks in error legs, remove hard-coded values, and implement CPU
    physical core querying (Thomas Renninger, John B. Wyatt IV, Shuah
    Khan, Yiwei Lin, Zhongqiu Han).

Pull power management updates from Rafael Wysocki:
 "These are dominated by cpufreq updates which in turn are dominated by
  updates related to boost support in the core and drivers and
  amd-pstate driver optimizations.

  Apart from the above, there are some cpuidle updates including a
  rework of the most recent idle intervals handling in the venerable
  menu governor that leads to significant improvements in some
  performance benchmarks, as the governor is now more likely to predict
  a shorter idle duration in some cases, and there are updates of the
  core device power management code, mostly related to system suspend
  and resume, that should help to avoid potential issues arising when
  the drivers of devices depending on one another want to use different
  optimizations.

  There is also a usual collection of assorted fixes and cleanups,
  including removal of some unused code.

  Specifics:

   - Manage sysfs attributes and boost frequencies efficiently from
     cpufreq core to reduce boilerplate code in drivers (Viresh Kumar)

   - Minor cleanups to cpufreq drivers (Aaron Kling, Benjamin Schneider,
     Dhananjay Ugwekar, Imran Shaik, zuoqian)

   - cpufreq-qcom-hw DT binding fixes (Krzysztof Kozlowski)

     (OOB) platform handling in it to make it detect OOB before checking
     HWP availability (Rafael Wysocki)

     integer values to unsigned int which causes CPU frequency selection
     to be inaccurate in some cases when the "conservative" cpufreq

     cpuidle governor to prevent useful information from being discarded
     by it in some cases and improve the prediction accuracy (Rafael

     if device_suspend() returns an error for at least one device to
     avoid situations in which some of them may not be resumed (Rafael
     Wysocki)

   - Use mutex_trylock() in hibernate_compressor_param_set() to avoid a

3181424aea x86/early_printk: Add support for MMIO-based UARTs
During the bring-up of an x86 board, the kernel was crashing before
reaching the platform's console driver because of a bug in the firmware,
leaving no trace of the boot progress.

The only available method to debug the kernel boot process was via the
platform's MMIO-based UART, as the board lacked an I/O port-based UART,
PCI UART, or functional video output.

Then it turned out that earlyprintk= does not have a knob to configure
the MMIO-mapped UART.

Extend the early printk facility to support platform MMIO-based UARTs
on x86 systems, enabling debugging during the system bring-up phase.

The command line syntax to enable platform MMIO-based UART is:

  earlyprintk=mmio,membase[,{nocfg|baudrate}][,keep]

Note, the change does not integrate MMIO-based UART support to:

  arch/x86/boot/early_serial_console.c

Also, update kernel parameters documentation with the new syntax and
add the missing 'nocfg' setting to the PCI serial cards description.

3ba7dfb8da RCU pull request for v6.15
This pull request contains the following branches:
 
 docs.2025.02.04a:
  - Add broken-timing possibility to stallwarn.rst.
  - Improve discussion of this_cpu_ptr(), add raw_cpu_ptr().
  - Document self-propagating callbacks.
  - Point call_srcu() to call_rcu() for detailed memory ordering.
  - Add CONFIG_RCU_LAZY delays to call_rcu() kernel-doc header.
  - Clarify RCU_LAZY and RCU_LAZY_DEFAULT_OFF help text.
  - Remove references to old grace-period-wait primitives.
 
 srcu.2025.02.05a:
  - Introduce srcu_read_{un,}lock_fast(), which is similar to
    srcu_read_{un,}lock_lite(): avoid smp_mb()s in lock and unlock at the
    cost of calling synchronize_rcu() in synchronize_srcu(). Moreover, by
    returning the percpu offset of the counter at srcu_read_lock_fast()
    time, srcu_read_unlock_fast() can save extra pointer dereferencing,
    which makes it faster than srcu_read_{un,}lock_lite().
    srcu_read_{un,}lock_fast() are intended to replace
    rcu_read_{un,}lock_trace() if possible.
 
 torture.2025.02.05a:
  - Add get_torture_init_jiffies() to return the start time of the test.
  - Add a test_boost_holdoff module parameter to allow delaying boosting
    tests when building rcutorture as built-in.
  - Add grace period sequence number logging at the beginning and end of
    failure/close-call results.
  - Switch to hexadecimal for the expedited grace period sequence number
    in the rcu_exp_grace_period trace point.
  - Make cur_ops->format_gp_seqs take buffer length.
  - Move RCU_TORTURE_TEST_{CHK_RDR_STATE,LOG_CPU} to bool.
  - Complain when invalid SRCU reader_flavor is specified.
  - Add FORCE_NEED_SRCU_NMI_SAFE Kconfig for testing, which forces SRCU
    uses atomics even when percpu ops are NMI safe, and use the Kconfig
    for SRCU lockdep testing.
 
 misc.2025.03.04a:
  - Split rcu_report_exp_cpu_mult() mask parameter and use for tracing.
  - Remove READ_ONCE() for rdp->gpwrap access in __note_gp_changes().
  - Fix get_state_synchronize_rcu_full() GP-start detection.
  - Move RCU Tasks self-tests to core_initcall().
  - Print segment lengths in show_rcu_nocb_gp_state().
  - Make RCU watch ct_kernel_exit_state() warning.
  - Flush console log from kernel_power_off().
  - rcutorture: Allow a negative value for nfakewriters.
  - rcu: Update TREE05.boot to test normal synchronize_rcu().
  - rcu: Use _full() API to debug synchronize_rcu().
 
 lazypreempt.2025.03.04a: Make RCU handle PREEMPT_LAZY better:
  - Fix header guard for rcu_all_qs().
  - rcu: Rename PREEMPT_AUTO to PREEMPT_LAZY.
  - Update __cond_resched comment about RCU quiescent states.
  - Handle unstable rdp in rcu_read_unlock_strict().
  - Handle quiescent states for PREEMPT_RCU=n, PREEMPT_COUNT=y.
  - osnoise: Provide quiescent states.
  - Adjust rcutorture with possible PREEMPT_RCU=n && PREEMPT_COUNT=y
    combination.
  - Limit PREEMPT_RCU configurations.
  - Make rcutorture senario TREE07 and senario TREE10 use PREEMPT_LAZY=y.

f81c2b8150 It has been a reasonably busy cycle for docs...
- Significant changes throughout the tree to bring Python code up to
   current standards and raise the minimum Python required to 3.9.  Much of
   this is preparatory to replacing the ancient Perl scripts/kernel-doc
   horror with a slightly less horrifying Python implementation, expected
   for 6.16.
 
 - Update the minimum Sphinx required to 3.4.3, allowing us to remove a
   bunch of older compatibility code.
 
 - Rework and improve the generation of the ABI documentation.
 
   (All of the above done by Mauro)
 
 - Lots of translation updates.  Alex Shi and Yanteng Si are taking on
   responsibility for the Chinese translations going forward; that work will
   still get to you via docs-next
 
 - Try to standardize the format for indicating a developer's affiliation in
   commit tags.
 
 - Clarify the TAB's role in CoC enforcement actions.
 
 - Try to spell out the rules for when a commit tag can name another
   developer without their explicit permission.
 
 Plus lots of other typo fixes and updates.

Merge cpuidle updates for 6.15-rc5, including a menu governor update
that is reported to improve some benchmark results quite significantly:

 - Update the handling of the most recent idle intervals in the menu
   cpuidle governor to prevent useful information from being discarded
   by it in some cases and improve the prediction accuracy (Rafael
   Wysocki).

 - Make it possible to tell the intel_idle driver to ignore its built-in
   table of idle states for the given processor, clean up the handling
   of auto-demotion disabling on Baytrail and Cherrytrail chips in it,
   and update its MAINTAINERS entry (David Arcari, Artem Bityutskiy,
   Rafael Wysocki).

 - Make some cpuidle drivers use for_each_present_cpu() instead of
   for_each_possible_cpu() during initialization to avoid issues
   occurring when nosmp or maxcpus=0 are used (Jacky Bai).

 - cpufreq-qcom-hw DT binding fixes (Krzysztof Kozlowski).

 - Use str_enable_disable() helper in cpufreq_online() (Lifeng Zheng).

 - Optimize the amd-pstate driver to avoid cases where call paths end
   up calling the same writes multiple times and needlessly caching
   variables through code reorganization, locking overhaul and tracing
   adjustments (Mario Limonciello, Dhananjay Ugwekar).

 - Make it possible to avoid enabling capacity-aware scheduling (CAS) in
   the intel_pstate driver and relocate a check for out-of-band (OOB)
   platform handling in it to make it detect OOB before checking HWP
   availability (Rafael Wysocki).

c1aa3daa51 printk/panic: Add option to allow non-panic CPUs to write to the ring buffer.
Commit 779dbc2e78 ("printk: Avoid non-panic CPUs writing to ringbuffer")
aimed to isolate panic-related messages. However, when panic() itself
malfunctions, messages from non-panic CPUs become crucial for debugging.

While commit bcc954c6ca ("printk/panic: Allow cpu backtraces to
be written into ringbuffer during panic") enables non-panic CPU
backtraces, it may not provide sufficient diagnostic information.

Introduce the "debug_non_panic_cpus" command-line option, enabling
non-panic CPU messages to be stored in the ring buffer during a panic.
This also prevents discarding non-finalized messages from non-panic CPUs
during console flushing, providing a more comprehensive view of system
state during critical failures.

722fa0dba7 x86/rfds: Exclude P-only parts from the RFDS affected list
The affected CPU table (cpu_vuln_blacklist) marks Alderlake and Raptorlake
P-only parts affected by RFDS. This is not true because only E-cores are
affected by RFDS. With the current family/model matching it is not possible
to differentiate the unaffected parts, as the affected and unaffected
hybrid variants have the same model number.

Add a cpu-type match as well for such parts so as to exclude P-only parts
being marked as affected.

Note, family/model and cpu-type enumeration could be inaccurate in
virtualized environments. In a guest affected status is decided by RFDS_NO
and RFDS_CLEAR bits exposed by VMMs.

2f1f7787b6 printk: Add an option to allow ttynull to be a default console device
The new option is CONFIG_NULL_TTY_DEFAULT_CONSOLE.

if enabled, and CONFIG_VT is disabled, ttynull will become the default
primary console device.

ttynull will be the only console device usually with this option enabled.
Some architectures do call add_preferred_console() which may add another
console though.

Motivation:

Many distributions ship with CONFIG_VT enabled. On tested desktop hardware
if CONFIG_VT is disabled, the default console device falls back to
/dev/ttyS0 instead of /dev/tty.

This could cause issues in user space, and hardware problems:

1. The user space issues include the case where  /dev/ttyS0 is
disconnected, and the TCGETS ioctl, which some user space libraries use
as a probe to determine if a file is a tty, is called on /dev/console and
fails. Programs that call isatty() on /dev/console and get an incorrect
false value may skip expected logging to /dev/console.

2. The hardware issues include the case if a user has a science instrument
or other device connected to the /dev/ttyS0 port, and they were to upgrade
to a kernel that is disabling the CONFIG_VT option, kernel logs will then
be sent to the device connected to /dev/ttyS0 unless they edit their
kernel command line manually.

The new CONFIG_NULL_TTY_DEFAULT_CONSOLE option will give users and
distribution maintainers an option to avoid this. Disabling CONFIG_VT and
enabling CONFIG_NULL_TTY_DEFAULT_CONSOLE will ensure the default kernel
console behavior is not dependent on hardware configuration by default, and
avoid unexpected new behavior on devices connected to the /dev/ttyS0 serial
port.

98fdaeb296 x86/bugs: Make spectre user default depend on MITIGATION_SPECTRE_V2
Change the default value of spectre v2 in user mode to respect the
CONFIG_MITIGATION_SPECTRE_V2 config option.

Currently, user mode spectre v2 is set to auto
(SPECTRE_V2_USER_CMD_AUTO) by default, even if
CONFIG_MITIGATION_SPECTRE_V2 is disabled.

Set the spectre_v2 value to auto (SPECTRE_V2_USER_CMD_AUTO) if the
Spectre v2 config (CONFIG_MITIGATION_SPECTRE_V2) is enabled, otherwise
set the value to none (SPECTRE_V2_USER_CMD_NONE).

Important to say the command line argument "spectre_v2_user" overwrites
the default value in both cases.

When CONFIG_MITIGATION_SPECTRE_V2 is not set, users have the flexibility
to opt-in for specific mitigations independently. In this scenario,
setting spectre_v2= will not enable spectre_v2_user=, and command line
options spectre_v2_user and spectre_v2 are independent when
CONFIG_MITIGATION_SPECTRE_V2=n.

d2132f453e mm: security: Allow default HARDENED_USERCOPY to be set at compile time
HARDENED_USERCOPY defaults to on if enabled at compile time. Allow
hardened_usercopy= default to be set at compile time similar to
init_on_alloc= and init_on_free=. The intent is that hardening
options that can be disabled at runtime can set their default at
build time.

0081fdeccb x86/mm: Drop support for CONFIG_HIGHPTE
With the maximum amount of RAM now 4GB, there is very little point
to still have PTE pages in highmem. Drop this for simplification.

The only other architecture supporting HIGHPTE is 32-bit arm, and
once that feature is removed as well, the highpte logic can be
dropped from common code as well.

bbeb69ce30 x86/mm: Remove CONFIG_HIGHMEM64G support
HIGHMEM64G support was added in linux-2.3.25 to support (then)
high-end Pentium Pro and Pentium III Xeon servers with more than 4GB of
addressing, NUMA and PCI-X slots started appearing.

I have found no evidence of this ever being used in regular dual-socket
servers or consumer devices, all the users seem obsolete these days,
even by i386 standards:

 - Support for NUMA servers (NUMA-Q, IBM x440, unisys) was already
   removed ten years ago.

 - 4+ socket non-NUMA servers based on Intel 450GX/450NX, HP F8 and
   ServerWorks ServerSet/GrandChampion could theoretically still work
   with 8GB, but these were exceptionally rare even 20 years ago and
   would have usually been equipped with than the maximum amount of
   RAM.

 - Some SKUs of the Celeron D from 2004 had 64-bit mode fused off but
   could still work in a Socket 775 mainboard designed for the later
   Core 2 Duo and 8GB. Apparently most BIOSes at the time only allowed
   64-bit CPUs.

 - The rare Xeon LV "Sossaman" came on a few motherboards with
   registered DDR2 memory support up to 16GB.

 - In the early days of x86-64 hardware, there was sometimes the need
   to run a 32-bit kernel to work around bugs in the hardware drivers,
   or in the syscall emulation for 32-bit userspace. This likely still
   works but there should never be a need for this any more.

PAE mode is still required to get access to the 'NX' bit on Atom
'Pentium M' and 'Core Duo' CPUs.

0abf508675 x86/smp: Drop 32-bit "bigsmp" machine support
The x86-32 kernel used to support multiple platforms with more than eight
logical CPUs, from the 1999-2003 timeframe: Sequent NUMA-Q, IBM Summit,
Unisys ES7000 and HP F8. Support for all except the latter was dropped
back in 2014, leaving only the F8 based DL740 and DL760 G2 machines in
this catery, with up to eight single-core Socket-603 Xeon-MP processors
with hyperthreading.

Like the already removed machines, the HP F8 servers at the time cost
upwards of $100k in typical configurations, but were quickly obsoleted
by their 64-bit Socket-604 cousins and the AMD Opteron.

Earlier servers with up to 8 Pentium Pro or Xeon processors remain
fully supported as they had no hyperthreading. Similarly, the more
common 4-socket Xeon-MP machines with hyperthreading using Intel
or ServerWorks chipsets continue to work without this, and all the
multi-core Xeon processors also run 64-bit kernels.

While the "bigsmp" support can also be used to run on later 64-bit
machines (including VM guests), it seems best to discourage that
and get any remaining users to update their kernels to 64-bit builds
on these. As a side-effect of this, there is also no more need to
support NUMA configurations on 32-bit x86, as all true 32-bit
NUMA platforms are already gone.

8442df2b49 x86/bugs: KVM: Add support for SRSO_MSR_FIX
Add support for

  CPUID Fn8000_0021_EAX[31] (SRSO_MSR_FIX). If this bit is 1, it
  indicates that software may use MSR BP_CFG[BpSpecReduce] to mitigate
  SRSO.

Enable BpSpecReduce to mitigate SRSO across guest/host boundaries.

Switch back to enabling the bit when virtualization is enabled and to
clear the bit when virtualization is disabled because using a MSR slot
would clear the bit when the guest is exited and any training the guest
has done, would potentially influence the host kernel when execution
enters the kernel and hasn't VMRUN the guest yet.

937fbf111a tracing: Add traceoff_after_boot option
Sometimes tracing is used to debug issues during the boot process. Since
the trace buffer has a limited amount of storage, it may be prudent to
disable tracing after the boot is finished, otherwise the critical
information may be overwritten.  With this option, the main tracing buffer
will be turned off at the end of the boot process.

de585eac08 Merge branch 'cpuidle-menu'
This work had been triggered by a report that commit 0611a640e6
("eventpoll: prefer kfree_rcu() in __ep_remove()") had caused the
critical-jOPS metric of the SPECjbb 2015 benchmark [1] to drop by around
50% even though it generally reduced kernel overhead.  Indeed, it was
found during further investigation that the total interrupt rate while
running the SPECjbb workload had fallen as a result of that commit by
55% and the local timer interrupt rate had fallen by almost 80%.

That turned out to cause the menu cpuidle governor to select the deepest
idle state supplied by the cpuidle driver (intel_idle) much more often
which added significantly more idle state latency to the workload and
that led to the decrease of the critical-jOPS score.

Interestingly enough, this problem was not visible when the teo cpuidle
governor was used instead of menu, so it appeared to be specific to the
latter.  CPU wakeup event statistics collected while running the
workload indicated that the menu governor was effectively ignoring non-
timer wakeup information and all of its idle state selection decisions
appeared to be based on timer wakeups only.  Thus, it appeared that the
reduction of the local timer interrupt rate caused the governor to
predict a idle duration much more often while running the workload and
the deepest idle state was selected significantly more often as a result
of that.

A subsequent inspection of the get_typical_interval() function in the
menu governor indicated that it might return UINT_MAX too often which
then caused the governor's decisions to be based entirely on information
related to timers.

Generally speaking, UINT_MAX is returned by get_typical_interval() if it
cannot make a prediction based on the most recent idle intervals data
with sufficiently high confidence, but at least in some cases this means
that useful information is not taken into account at all which may lead
to significant idle state selection mistakes.  Moreover, this is not
really unlikely to happen.

One issue with get_typical_interval() is that, when it eliminates
outliers from the sample set in an attempt to reduce the standard
deviation (and so improve the prediction confidence), it does that by
dropping high-end samples only, while samples at the low end of the set
are retained.  However, the samples at the low end very well may be the
outliers and they should be eliminated from the sample set instead of
the high-end samples.  Accordingly, the likelihood of making a
meaningful idle duration prediction can be improved by making it also
eliminate low-end samples if they are farther from the average than
high-end samples.

Another issue is that get_typical_interval() gives up after eliminating
1/4 of the samples if the standard deviation is still not as low as
desired (within 1/6 of the average or within 20 us if the average is
close to 0), but the remaining samples in the set still represent useful
information at that point and discarding them altogether may lead to
suboptimal idle state selection.

For instance, the largest idle duration value in the get_typical_interval()
data set is the maximum idle duration observed recently and it is likely
that the upcoming idle duration will not exceed it.  Therefore, in the
absence of a better choice, this value can be used as an upper bound on
the target residency of the idle state to select.

5e7e39ae15 intel_idle: introduce 'no_native' module parameter
Since commit 18734958e9 ("intel_idle: Use ACPI _CST for processor models
without C-state tables") the intel_idle driver has had the ability to use
the ACPI _CST to populate C-states when the processor model is not
recognized.

However, even when the processor model is recognized (native mode) there
are cases where it is useful to make the driver ignore the per-CPU idle
states in lieu of ACPI C-states (such as specific application performance).

Add a new 'no_native' module parameter to provide this functionality.
