[ Upstream commit 8d7e415d55610d503fdb8815344846b72d194a40 ]

Starting from the beginning of infiniband subsystem, the uverbs char
devices start from 192 as a minor number, see
commit bc38a6abdd5a ("[PATCH] IB uverbs: core implementation").

This patch updates the admin guide documentation to reflect it.

<title>clocksource: Retry clock read if long delays detected</title>

[ Upstream commit db3a34e17433de2390eb80d436970edcebd0ca3e ]

When the clocksource watchdog marks a clock as unstable, this might be due
to that clock being unstable or it might be due to delays that happen to
occur between the reads of the two clocks.  Yes, interrupts are disabled
across those two reads, but there are no shortage of things that can delay
interrupts-disabled regions of code ranging from SMI handlers to vCPU
preemption.  It would be good to have some indication as to why the clock
was marked unstable.

Therefore, re-read the watchdog clock on either side of the read from the
clock under test.  If the watchdog clock shows an excessive time delta
between its pair of reads, the reads are retried.

The maximum number of retries is specified by a new kernel boot parameter
clocksource.max_cswd_read_retries, which defaults to three, that is, up to
four reads, one initial and up to three retries.  If more than one retry
was required, a message is printed on the console (the occasional single
retry is expected behavior, especially in guest OSes).  If the maximum
number of retries is exceeded, the clock under test will be marked
unstable.  However, the probability of this happening due to various sorts
of delays is quite small.  In addition, the reason (clock-read delays) for
the unstable marking will be apparent.

<title>drivers/base/memory: don't store phys_device in memory blocks</title>

[ Upstream commit e9a2e48e8704c9d20a625c6f2357147d03ea7b97 ]

No need to store the value for each and every memory block, as we can
easily query the value at runtime.  Reshuffle the members to optimize the
memory layout.  Also, let's clarify what the interface once was used for
and why it's legacy nowadays.

"phys_device" was used on s390x in older versions of lsmem[2]/chmem[3],
back when they were still part of s390x-tools.  They were later replaced
by the variants in linux-utils.  For example, RHEL6 and RHEL7 contain
lsmem/chmem from s390-utils.  RHEL8 switched to versions from util-linux
on s390x [4].

"phys_device" was added with sysfs support for memory hotplug in commit
3947be1969a9 ("[PATCH] memory hotplug: sysfs and add/remove functions") in
2005.  It always returned 0.

s390x started returning something != 0 on some setups (if sclp.rzm is set
by HW) in 2010 via commit 57b552ba0b2f ("memory hotplug/s390: set
phys_device").

For s390x, it allowed for identifying which memory block devices belong to
the same storage increment (RZM).  Only if all memory block devices
comprising a single storage increment were offline, the memory could
actually be removed in the hypervisor.

Since commit e5d709bb5fb7 ("s390/memory hotplug: provide
memory_block_size_bytes() function") in 2013 a memory block device spans
at least one storage increment - which is why the interface isn't really
helpful/used anymore (except by old lsmem/chmem tools).

There were once RFC patches to make use of "phys_device" in ACPI context;
however, the underlying problem could be solved using different interfaces
[1].

<title>mm/vmscan: restore zone_reclaim_mode ABI</title>

commit 519983645a9f2ec339cabfa0c6ef7b09be985dd0 upstream.

I went to go add a new RECLAIM_* mode for the zone_reclaim_mode sysctl.
Like a good kernel developer, I also went to go update the
documentation.  I noticed that the bits in the documentation didn't
match the bits in the #defines.

The VM never explicitly checks the RECLAIM_ZONE bit.  The bit is,
however implicitly checked when checking 'node_reclaim_mode==0'.  The
RECLAIM_ZONE #define was removed in a cleanup.  That, by itself is fine.

But, when the bit was removed (bit 0) the _other_ bit locations also got
changed.  That's not OK because the bit values are documented to mean
one specific thing.  Users surely do not expect the meaning to change
from kernel to kernel.

The end result is that if someone had a script that did:

	sysctl vm.zone_reclaim_mode=1

it would have gone from enabling node reclaim for clean unmapped pages
to writing out pages during node reclaim after the commit in question.
That's not great.

Put the bits back the way they were and add a comment so something like
this is a bit harder to do again.  Update the documentation to make it
clear that the first bit is ignored.

[ Upstream commit 79d7c3dca99fa96033695ddf5d495b775a3a137b ]

Although it's neat to avoid the suffix for the typical case of a
single PMU, it means systems with multiple CMN instances end up with
inconsistent naming. I think it also breaks perf tool's "uncore alias"
logic if the common instance prefix is also the full name of one.

Avoid any surprises by not trying to be clever and simply numbering
every instance, even when it might technically prove redundant.

[ Upstream commit b36b0fe96af13460278bf9b173beced1bd15f85d ]

It's useful to be able to test non-vector event channel delivery, to make
sure Linux will work properly on older Xen which doesn't have it.

It's also useful for those working on Xen and Xen-compatible hypervisors,
because there are guest kernels still in active use which use PCI INTX
even when vector delivery is available.

[ Upstream commit b36b0fe96af13460278bf9b173beced1bd15f85d ]

It's useful to be able to test non-vector event channel delivery, to make
sure Linux will work properly on older Xen which doesn't have it.

It's also useful for those working on Xen and Xen-compatible hypervisors,
because there are guest kernels still in active use which use PCI INTX
even when vector delivery is available.

<title>dm integrity: conditionally disable "recalculate" feature</title>

commit 5c02406428d5219c367c5f53457698c58bc5f917 upstream.

Otherwise a malicious user could (ab)use the "recalculate" feature
that makes dm-integrity calculate the checksums in the background
while the device is already usable. When the system restarts before all
checksums have been calculated, the calculation continues where it was
interrupted even if the recalculate feature is not requested the next
time the dm device is set up.

Disable recalculating if we use internal_hash or journal_hash with a
key (e.g. HMAC) and we don't have the "legacy_recalculate" flag.

This may break activation of a volume, created by an older kernel,
that is not yet fully recalculated -- if this happens, the user should
add the "legacy_recalculate" flag to constructor parameters.

commit 8010622c86ca5bb44bc98492f5968726fc7c7a21 upstream.

UAS does not share the pessimistic assumption storage is making that
devices cannot deal with WRITE_SAME.  A few devices supported by UAS,
are reported to not deal well with WRITE_SAME. Those need a quirk.

Add it to the device that needs it.

Pull bootconfig fixes from Steven Rostedt:
 "Have bootconfig size and checksum be little endian

  In case the bootconfig is created on one kind of endian machine, and
  then read on the other kind of endian kernel, the size and checksum
  will be incorrect. Instead, have both the size and checksum always be
  little endian and have the tool and the kernel convert it from little
  endian to or from the host endian"
