 "Here are a bunch of fixes/reverts for 6.10-rc6.  Include in here are:

   - revert the bunch of tty/serial/console changes that landed in -rc1
     that didn't quite work properly yet.

     Everyone agreed to just revert them for now and will work on making
     them better for a future release instead of trying to quick fix the
     existing changes this late in the release cycle

   - 8250 driver port count bugfix

   - Other tiny serial port bugfixes for reported issues

  All of these have been in linux-next this week with no reported
  issues"

This reverts commit 5c3a766e9f057ee7a54b5d7addff7fab02676fea.

Let's roll back all of the serial core and printk console changes that
went into 6.10-rc1 as there still are problems with them that need to be
sorted out.

There was insufficient review and no agreement that this is the right
approach.

There are serious flaws with the implementation that make processes using
mlock() not even work with simple fork() [1] and we get reliable crashes
when rebooting.

Further, simply because we might be unmapping a single PTE of a large
mlocked folio, we shouldn't zero out the whole folio.

... especially because the code can also *corrupt* urelated memory because
	kernel_init_pages(page, folio_nr_pages(folio));

Could end up writing outside of the actual folio if we work with a tail
page.

Let's revert it.  Once there is agreement that this is the right approach,
the issues were fixed and there was reasonable review and proper testing,
we can consider it again.

<title>platform/x86: touchscreen_dmi: Add support for setting touchscreen properties from cmdline</title>
<updated>2024-05-27T09:42:57+00:00</updated>

<id>0b178b02673998f5acca5a0365a8858ca45beedb</id>
<content type='text'>
On x86/ACPI platforms touchscreens mostly just work without needing any
device/model specific configuration. But in some cases (mostly with Silead
and Goodix touchscreens) it is still necessary to manually specify various
touchscreen-properties on a per model basis.

touchscreen_dmi is a special place for DMI quirks for this, but it can be
challenging for users to figure out the right property values, especially
for Silead touchscreens where non of these can be read back from
the touchscreen-controller.

ATM users can only test touchscreen properties by editing touchscreen_dmi.c
and then building a completely new kernel which makes it unnecessary
difficult for users to test and submit properties when necessary for their
laptop / tablet model.

Add support for specifying properties on the kernel commandline to allow
users to easily figure out the right settings. See the added documentation
in kernel-parameters.txt for the commandline syntax.

Pull mm updates from Andrew Morton:
 "The usual shower of singleton fixes and minor series all over MM,
  documented (hopefully adequately) in the respective changelogs.
  Notable series include:

   - Lucas Stach has provided some page-mapping cleanup/consolidation/
     maintainability work in the series "mm/treewide: Remove pXd_huge()
     API".

   - In the series "Allow migrate on protnone reference with
     MPOL_PREFERRED_MANY policy", Donet Tom has optimized mempolicy's
     MPOL_PREFERRED_MANY mode, yielding almost doubled performance in
     one test.

   - In their series "Memory allocation profiling" Kent Overstreet and
     Suren Baghdasaryan have contributed a means of determining (via
     /proc/allocinfo) whereabouts in the kernel memory is being
     allocated: number of calls and amount of memory.

   - Matthew Wilcox has provided the series "Various significant MM
     patches" which does a number of rather unrelated things, but in
     largely similar code sites.

   - In his series "mm: page_alloc: freelist migratetype hygiene"
     Johannes Weiner has fixed the page allocator's handling of
     migratetype requests, with resulting improvements in compaction
     efficiency.

   - In the series "make the hugetlb migration strategy consistent"
     Baolin Wang has fixed a hugetlb migration issue, which should
     improve hugetlb allocation reliability.

   - Liu Shixin has hit an I/O meltdown caused by readahead in a
     memory-tight memcg. Addressed in the series "Fix I/O high when
     memory almost met memcg limit".

   - In the series "mm/filemap: optimize folio adding and splitting"
     Kairui Song has optimized pagecache insertion, yielding ~10%
     performance improvement in one test.

   - Baoquan He has cleaned up and consolidated the early zone
     initialization code in the series "mm/mm_init.c: refactor
     free_area_init_core()".

   - Baoquan has also redone some MM initializatio code in the series
     "mm/init: minor clean up and improvement".

   - MM helper cleanups from Christoph Hellwig in his series "remove
     follow_pfn".

   - More cleanups from Matthew Wilcox in the series "Various
     page-&gt;flags cleanups".

   - Vlastimil Babka has contributed maintainability improvements in the
     series "memcg_kmem hooks refactoring".

   - More folio conversions and cleanups in Matthew Wilcox's series:
	"Convert huge_zero_page to huge_zero_folio"
	"khugepaged folio conversions"
	"Remove page_idle and page_young wrappers"
	"Use folio APIs in procfs"
	"Clean up __folio_put()"
	"Some cleanups for memory-failure"
	"Remove page_mapping()"
	"More folio compat code removal"

   - David Hildenbrand chipped in with "fs/proc/task_mmu: convert
     hugetlb functions to work on folis".

   - Code consolidation and cleanup work related to GUP's handling of
     hugetlbs in Peter Xu's series "mm/gup: Unify hugetlb, part 2".

   - Rick Edgecombe has developed some fixes to stack guard gaps in the
     series "Cover a guard gap corner case".

   - Jinjiang Tu has fixed KSM's behaviour after a fork+exec in the
     series "mm/ksm: fix ksm exec support for prctl".

   - Baolin Wang has implemented NUMA balancing for multi-size THPs.
     This is a simple first-cut implementation for now. The series is
     "support multi-size THP numa balancing".

   - Cleanups to vma handling helper functions from Matthew Wilcox in
     the series "Unify vma_address and vma_pgoff_address".

   - Some selftests maintenance work from Dev Jain in the series
     "selftests/mm: mremap_test: Optimizations and style fixes".

   - Improvements to the swapping of multi-size THPs from Ryan Roberts
     in the series "Swap-out mTHP without splitting".

   - Kefeng Wang has significantly optimized the handling of arm64's
     permission page faults in the series
	"arch/mm/fault: accelerate pagefault when badaccess"
	"mm: remove arch's private VM_FAULT_BADMAP/BADACCESS"

   - GUP cleanups from David Hildenbrand in "mm/gup: consistently call
     it GUP-fast".

     path to use struct vm_fault".

   - selftests build fixes from John Hubbard in the series "Fix
     selftests/mm build without requiring "make headers"".

   - Memory tiering fixes/improvements from Ho-Ren (Jack) Chuang in the
     series "Improved Memory Tier Creation for CPUless NUMA Nodes".
     Fixes the initialization code so that migration between different
     memory types works as intended.

   - David Hildenbrand has improved follow_pte() and fixed an errant
     driver in the series "mm: follow_pte() improvements and acrn
     follow_pte() fixes".

   - David also did some cleanup work on large folio mapcounts in his
     series "mm: mapcount for large folios + page_mapcount() cleanups".

   - Folio conversions in KSM in Alex Shi's series "transfer page to
     folio in KSM".

   - Barry Song has added some sysfs stats for monitoring multi-size
     THP's in the series "mm: add per-order mTHP alloc and swpout
     counters".

     same-filled and limit checking cleanups".

   - Matthew Wilcox has been looking at buffer_head code and found the
     documentation to be lacking. The series is "Improve buffer head
     documentation".

     "Fix and cleanups to page-writeback".

   - Matthew Wilcox reduces mmap_lock traffic in the anon vma code in
     the series "Improve anon_vma scalability for anon VMAs". Intel's
     test bot reported an improbable 3x improvement in one test.

Pull arm64 updates from Will Deacon:
 "The most interesting parts are probably the mm changes from Ryan which
  optimise the creation of the linear mapping at boot and (separately)
  implement write-protect support for userfaultfd.

  Outside of our usual directories, the Kbuild-related changes under
  scripts/ have been acked by Masahiro whilst the drivers/acpi/ parts
  have been acked by Rafael and the addition of cpumask_any_and_but()
  has been acked by Yury.

  ACPI:

   - Support for the Firmware ACPI Control Structure (FACS) signature
     feature which is used to reboot out of hibernation on some systems

  Kbuild:

   - Support for building Flat Image Tree (FIT) images, where the kernel
     Image is compressed alongside a set of devicetree blobs

  Memory management:

   - Optimisation of our early page-table manipulation for creation of
     the linear mapping

   - Support for userfaultfd write protection, which brings along some
     nice cleanups to our handling of invalid but present ptes

   - Extend our use of range TLBI invalidation at EL1

  Perf and PMUs:

   - Ensure that the 'pmu-&gt;parent' pointer is correctly initialised by
     PMU drivers

   - Avoid allocating 'cpumask_t' types on the stack in some PMU drivers

   - Fix parsing of the CPU PMU "version" field in assembly code, as it
     doesn't follow the usual architectural rules

   - Add best-effort unwinding support for USER_STACKTRACE

   - Minor driver fixes and cleanups

  Selftests:

   - Minor cleanups to the arm64 selftests (missing NULL check, unused
     variable)

  Miscellaneous:

   - Add a command-line alias for disabling 32-bit application support

   - Add part number for Neoverse-V2 CPUs

  interrupts directly into a guest without host interaction. The VT-d
  interrupt remapping hardware sets the bit which corresponds to the
  interrupt vector in a vector bitmap which is either used to inject the
  interrupt directly into the guest via a virtualized APIC or in case
  that the guest is scheduled out provides a host side notification
  interrupt which informs the host that an interrupt has been marked
  pending in the bitmap.

  This can be utilized on bare metal for scenarios where multiple
  devices, e.g. NVME storage, raise interrupts with a high frequency. In
  the default mode these interrupts are handles independently and
  therefore require a full roundtrip of interrupt entry/exit.

  Utilizing posted interrupts this roundtrip overhead can be avoided by
  coalescing these interrupt entries to a single entry for the posted
  interrupt notification. The notification interrupt then demultiplexes
  the pending bits in a memory based bitmap and invokes the
  corresponding device specific handlers.

  Depending on the usage scenario and device utilization throughput
  improvements between 10% and 130% have been measured.

  As this is only relevant for high end servers with multiple device
  queues per CPU attached and counterproductive for situations where
  interrupts are arriving at distinct times, the functionality is opt-in
  via a kernel command line parameter"
