Pull pidfd updates from Christian Brauner:
"This patchset makes it possible to retrieve pidfds at process creation
time by introducing the new flag CLONE_PIDFD to the clone() system
call. Linus originally suggested to implement this as a new flag to
clone() instead of making it a separate system call.
After a thorough review from Oleg CLONE_PIDFD returns pidfds in the
parent_tidptr argument. This means we can give back the associated pid
and the pidfd at the same time. Access to process metadata information
thus becomes rather trivial.
As has been agreed, CLONE_PIDFD creates file descriptors based on
anonymous inodes similar to the new mount api. They are made
unconditional by this patchset as they are now needed by core kernel
code (vfs, pidfd) even more than they already were before (timerfd,
signalfd, io_uring, epoll etc.). The core patchset is rather small.
The bulky looking changelist is caused by David's very simple changes
to Kconfig to make anon inodes unconditional.
A pidfd comes with additional information in fdinfo if the kernel
supports procfs. The fdinfo file contains the pid of the process in
the callers pid namespace in the same format as the procfs status
file, i.e. "Pid:\t%d".
To remove worries about missing metadata access this patchset comes
with a sample/test program that illustrates how a combination of
CLONE_PIDFD and pidfd_send_signal() can be used to gain race-free
access to process metadata through /proc/<pid>.
Further work based on this patchset has been done by Joel. His work
makes pidfds pollable. It finished too late for this merge window. I
would prefer to have it sitting in linux-next for a while and send it
for inclusion during the 5.3 merge window"

Pull btrfs updates from David Sterba:
"This time the majority of changes are cleanups, though there's still a
number of changes of user interest.
User visible changes:
- better read time and write checks to catch errors early and before
writing data to disk (to catch potential memory corruption on data
that get checksummed)
- qgroups + metadata relocation: last speed up patch int the series
to address the slowness, there should be no overhead comparing
balance with and without qgroups
- FIEMAP ioctl does not start a transaction unnecessarily, this can
result in a speed up and less blocking due to IO
- LOGICAL_INO (v1, v2) does not start transaction unnecessarily, this
can speed up the mentioned ioctl and scrub as well
- fsync on files with many (but not too many) hardlinks is faster,
finer decision if the links should be fsynced individually or
completely
- send tries harder to find ranges to clone
- trim/discard will skip unallocated chunks that haven't been touched
since the last mount
Fixes:
- send flushes delayed allocation before start, otherwise it could
miss some changes in case of a very recent rw->ro switch of a
subvolume
- fix fallocate with qgroups that could lead to space accounting
underflow, reported as a warning
- trim/discard ioctl honours the requested range
- starting send and dedupe on a subvolume at the same time will let
only one of them succeed, this is to prevent changes that send
could miss due to dedupe; both operations are restartable
Core changes:
- more tree-checker validations, errors reported by fuzzing tools:
- device item
- inode item
- block group profiles
- tracepoints for extent buffer locking
- async cow preallocates memory to avoid errors happening too deep in
the call chain
- metadata reservations for delalloc reworked to better adapt in
many-writers/low-space scenarios
- improved space flushing logic for intense DIO vs buffered workloads
- lots of cleanups
- removed unused struct members
- redundant argument removal

- extent buffer locking

This patchset makes it possible to retrieve pid file descriptors at
process creation time by introducing the new flag CLONE_PIDFD to the
clone() system call. Linus originally suggested to implement this as a
new flag to clone() instead of making it a separate system call. As
spotted by Linus, there is exactly one bit for clone() left.
CLONE_PIDFD creates file descriptors based on the anonymous inode
implementation in the kernel that will also be used to implement the new
mount api. They serve as a simple opaque handle on pids. Logically,
this makes it possible to interpret a pidfd differently, narrowing or
widening the scope of various operations (e.g. signal sending). Thus, a
pidfd cannot just refer to a tgid, but also a tid, or in theory - given
appropriate flag arguments in relevant syscalls - a process group or
session. A pidfd does not represent a privilege. This does not imply it
cannot ever be that way but for now this is not the case.
A pidfd comes with additional information in fdinfo if the kernel supports
procfs. The fdinfo file contains the pid of the process in the callers
pid namespace in the same format as the procfs status file, i.e. "Pid:\t%d".
As suggested by Oleg, with CLONE_PIDFD the pidfd is returned in the
parent_tidptr argument of clone. This has the advantage that we can
give back the associated pid and the pidfd at the same time.
To remove worries about missing metadata access this patchset comes with
a sample program that illustrates how a combination of CLONE_PIDFD, and
pidfd_send_signal() can be used to gain race-free access to process
metadata through /proc/<pid>. The sample program can easily be
translated into a helper that would be suitable for inclusion in libc so
that users don't have to worry about writing it themselves.

Allow registration of an eventfd, which will trigger an event every
time a completion event happens for this io_uring instance.
Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>
There are no ordering constraints between the submission and completion
side of io_uring. But sometimes that would be useful to have. One common
example is doing an fsync, for instance, and have it ordered with
previous writes. Without support for that, the application must do this
tracking itself.
This adds a general SQE flag, IOSQE_IO_DRAIN. If a command is marked
with this flag, then it will not be issued before previous commands have
completed, and subsequent commands submitted after the drain will not be
issued before the drain is started.. If there are no pending commands,
setting this flag will not change the behavior of the issue of the
command.

When scatter to CQE is enabled on a DCT QP it corrupts the mailbox command
since it tried to treat it as as QP create mailbox command instead of a
DCT create command.
The corrupted mailbox command causes userspace to malfunction as the
device doesn't create the QP as expected.
A new mlx5 capability is exposed to user-space which ensures that it will
not enable the feature on DCT without this fix in the kernel.

PSCI firmware v1.0+, supports two different modes for CPU_SUSPEND.
The Platform Coordinated mode, which is the default and mandatory
mode, while support for the OS initiated (OSI) mode is optional.
In some cases it's interesting for the user/developer to know if
the OSI mode is supported by the PSCI FW, so print a message to
the log if that is the case.

ASoC: Fixes for v5.1
A few core fixes along with the driver specific ones, mainly fixing
small issues that only affect x86 platforms for various reasons (their
unusual machine enumeration mechanisms mainly, plus a fix for error
handling in topology).
There's some of the driver fixes that look larger than they are, like
the hdmi-codec changes which resulted in an indentation change, and most
of the other large changes are for new drivers like the STM32 changes.
The ASPEED AST2400, and AST2500 in some configurations include a
PCI-to-AHB MMIO bridge. This bridge allows a server to read and write
in the BMC's physical address space. This feature is especially useful
when using this bridge to send large files to the BMC.
The host may use this to send down a firmware image by staging data at a
specific memory address, and in a coordinated effort with the BMC's
software stack and kernel, transmit the bytes.
This driver enables the BMC to unlock the PCI bridge on demand, and
configure it via ioctl to allow the host to write bytes to an agreed
upon location. In the primary use-case, the region to use is known
apriori on the BMC, and the host requests this information. Once this
request is received, the BMC's software stack will enable the bridge and
the region and then using some software flow control (possibly via IPMI
packets), copy the bytes down. Once the process is complete, the BMC
will disable the bridge and unset any region involved.
The default behavior of this bridge when present is: enabled and all
regions marked read-write. This driver will fix the regions to be
read-only and then disable the bridge entirely.
The memory regions protected are:
* BMC flash MMIO window
* System flash MMIO windows
* SOC IO (peripheral MMIO)
* DRAM
The DRAM region itself is all of DRAM and cannot be further specified.
Once the PCI bridge is enabled, the host can read all of DRAM, and if
the DRAM section is write-enabled, then it can write to all of it.

Habanalabs ASICs use the ARM coresight infrastructure to support debug,
tracing and profiling of neural networks topologies.
Because the coresight is configured using register writes and reads, and
some of the registers hold sensitive information (e.g. the address in
the device's DRAM where the trace data is written to), the user must go
through the kernel driver to configure this mechanism.
This patch implements the common code of the IOCTL and calls the
ASIC-specific function for the actual H/W configuration.
The IOCTL supports configuration of seven coresight components:
ETR, ETF, STM, FUNNEL, BMON, SPMU and TIMESTAMP
The user specifies which component he wishes to configure and provides a
pointer to a structure (located in its process space) that contains the
relevant configuration.
The common code copies the relevant data from the user-space to kernel
space and then calls the ASIC-specific function to do the H/W
configuration.
After the configuration is done, which is usually composed
of several IOCTL calls depending on what the user wanted to trace, the
user can start executing the topology. The trace data will be written to
the user's area in the device's DRAM.
After the tracing operation is complete, and user will call the IOCTL
again to disable the tracing operation. The user also need to read
values from registers for some of the components (e.g. the size of the
trace data in the device's DRAM). In that case, the user will provide a
pointer to an "output" structure in user-space, which the IOCTL code will
fill according the to selected component.

The vboxguest patches are a bit larger. They resolve the fact that
virtual box decided to change their api in their latest release in a
way that broke the existing kernel code, despite saying that they were
never going to do that. So this is a bit of a "new feature", but is
good to get merged so that 5.1 will work with the latest release. The

break this again, but no one is holding their breath here.

issues"

I do not see any consistency about headers_install of <linux/kvm_para.h>
and <asm/kvm_para.h>.
According to my analysis of Linux 5.1-rc1, there are 3 groups:
[1] Both <linux/kvm_para.h> and <asm/kvm_para.h> are exported
alpha, arm, hexagon, mips, powerpc, s390, sparc, x86
[2] <asm/kvm_para.h> is exported, but <linux/kvm_para.h> is not
arc, arm64, c6x, h8300, ia64, m68k, microblaze, nios2, openrisc,
parisc, sh, unicore32, xtensa
[3] Neither <linux/kvm_para.h> nor <asm/kvm_para.h> is exported
csky, nds32, riscv
This does not match to the actual KVM support. At least, [2] is
half-baked.
Nor do arch maintainers look like they care about this. For example,
commit 0add53713b ("microblaze: Add missing kvm_para.h to Kbuild")
exported <asm/kvm_para.h> to user-space in order to fix an in-kernel
build error.
We have two ways to make this consistent:
[A] export both <linux/kvm_para.h> and <asm/kvm_para.h> for all
architectures, irrespective of the KVM support
[B] Match the header export of <linux/kvm_para.h> and <asm/kvm_para.h>
to the KVM support
My first attempt was [A] because the code looks cleaner, but Paolo
suggested [B].
So, this commit goes with [B].
For most architectures, <asm/kvm_para.h> was moved to the kernel-space.
I changed include/uapi/linux/Kbuild so that it checks generated
asm/kvm_para.h as well as check-in ones.
After this commit, there will be two groups:
[1] Both <linux/kvm_para.h> and <asm/kvm_para.h> are exported
arm, arm64, mips, powerpc, s390, x86
[2] Neither <linux/kvm_para.h> nor <asm/kvm_para.h> is exported
alpha, arc, c6x, csky, h8300, hexagon, ia64, m68k, microblaze,

Pull pidfd system call from Christian Brauner:
"This introduces the ability to use file descriptors from /proc/<pid>/
as stable handles on struct pid. Even if a pid is recycled the handle
will not change. For a start these fds can be used to send signals to
the processes they refer to.
With the ability to use /proc/<pid> fds as stable handles on struct
pid we can fix a long-standing issue where after a process has exited
its pid can be reused by another process. If a caller sends a signal
to a reused pid it will end up signaling the wrong process.
With this patchset we enable a variety of use cases. One obvious
example is that we can now safely delegate an important part of
process management - sending signals - to processes other than the
parent of a given process by sending file descriptors around via scm
rights and not fearing that the given process will have been recycled
in the meantime. It also allows for easy testing whether a given
process is still alive or not by sending signal 0 to a pidfd which is
quite handy.
There has been some interest in this feature e.g. from systems
management (systemd, glibc) and container managers. I have requested
and gotten comments from glibc to make sure that this syscall is
suitable for their needs as well. In the future I expect it to take on
most other pid-based signal syscalls. But such features are left for
the future once they are needed.
This has been sitting in linux-next for quite a while and has not
caused any issues. It comes with selftests which verify basic
functionality and also test that a recycled pid cannot be signaled via
a pidfd.
Jon has written about a prior version of this patchset. It should
cover the basic functionality since not a lot has changed since then:
https://lwn.net/Articles/773459/
The commit message for the syscall itself is extensively documenting
