Pull clk updates from Stephen Boyd:
 "The core framework has a handful of patches this time around, mostly
  due to the clk rate protection support added by Jerome Brunet.

  This feature will allow consumers to lock in a certain rate on the
  output of a clk so that things like audio playback don't hear pops
  when the clk frequency changes due to shared parent clks changing
  rates. Currently the clk API doesn't guarantee the rate of a clk stays
  at the rate you request after clk_set_rate() is called, so this new
  API will allow drivers to express that requirement.

  Beyond this, the core got some debugfs pretty printing patches and a
  couple minor non-critical fixes.

  Looking outside of the core framework diff we have some new driver
  additions and the removal of a legacy TI clk driver. Both of these hit
  high in the dirstat. Also, the removal of the asm-generic/clkdev.h
  file causes small one-liners in all the architecture Kbuild files.

  Overall, the driver diff seems to be the normal stuff that comes all
  the time to fix little problems here and there and to support new
  hardware.

  Summary:

  Core:
   - Clk rate protection
   - Symbolic clk flags in debugfs output
   - Clk registration enabled clks while doing bookkeeping updates

  New Drivers:
   - Spreadtrum SC9860
   - HiSilicon hi3660 stub
   - Qualcomm A53 PLL, SPMI clkdiv, and MSM8916 APCS
   - Amlogic Meson-AXG
   - ASPEED BMC

  Removed Drivers:
   - TI OMAP 3xxx legacy clk (non-DT) support
   - asm*/clkdev.h got removed (not really a driver)

  Updates:
   - Renesas FDP1-0 module clock on R-Car M3-W
   - Renesas LVDS module clock on R-Car V3M
   - Misc fixes to pr_err() prints
   - Qualcomm MSM8916 audio fixes
   - Qualcomm IPQ8074 rounded out support for more peripherals
   - Qualcomm Alpha PLL variants
   - Divider code was using container_of() on bad pointers
   - Allwinner DE2 clks on H3
   - Amlogic minor data fixes and dropping of CLK_IGNORE_UNUSED
   - Mediatek clk driver compile test support
   - AT91 PMC clk suspend/resume restoration support
   - PLL issues fixed on si5351
   - Broadcom IProc PLL calculation updates
   - DVFS support for Armada mvebu CPU clks
   - Allwinner fixed post-divider support
   - TI clkctrl fixes and support for newer SoCs"

Pull printk updates from Petr Mladek:

 - Add a console_msg_format command line option:

     The value "default" keeps the old "[time stamp] text\n" format. The
     value "syslog" allows to see the syslog-like "&lt;log
     level&gt;[timestamp] text" format.

     This feature was requested by people doing regression tests, for
     example, 0day robot. They want to have both filtered and full logs
     at hands.

 - Reduce the risk of softlockup:

     Pass the console owner in a busy loop.

     This is a new approach to the old problem. It was first proposed by
     Steven Rostedt on Kernel Summit 2017. It marks a context in which
     the console_lock owner calls console drivers and could not sleep.
     On the other side, printk() callers could detect this state and use
     a busy wait instead of a simple console_trylock(). Finally, the
     console_lock owner checks if there is a busy waiter at the end of
     the special context and eventually passes the console_lock to the
     waiter.

     The hand-off works surprisingly well and helps in many situations.
     Well, there is still a possibility of the softlockup, for example,
     when the flood of messages stops and the last owner still has too
     much to flush.

     There is increasing number of people having problems with
     printk-related softlockups. We might eventually need to get better
     solution. Anyway, this looks like a good start and promising
     direction.

 - Do not allow to schedule in console_unlock() called from printk():

     This reverts an older controversial commit. The reschedule helped
     to avoid softlockups. But it also slowed down the console output.
     This patch is obsoleted by the new console waiter logic described
     above. In fact, the reschedule made the hand-off less effective.

 - Deprecate "%pf" and "%pF" format specifier:

     It was needed on ia64, ppc64 and parisc64 to dereference function
     descriptors and show the real function address. It is done
     transparently by "%ps" and "pS" format specifier now.

     Sergey Senozhatsky found that all the function descriptors were in
     a special elf section and could be easily detected.

 - Remove printk_symbol() API:

     It has been obsoleted by "%pS" format specifier, and this change
     helped to remove few continuous lines and a less intuitive old API.

 - Remove redundant memsets:

     Sergey removed unnecessary memset when processing printk.devkmsg
     command line option.

* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/pmladek/printk: (27 commits)
  printk: drop redundant devkmsg_log_str memsets

Pull siginfo cleanups from Eric Biederman:
 "Long ago when 2.4 was just a testing release copy_siginfo_to_user was
  made to copy individual fields to userspace, possibly for efficiency
  and to ensure initialized values were not copied to userspace.

  Unfortunately the design was complex, it's assumptions unstated, and
  humans are fallible and so while it worked much of the time that
  design failed to ensure unitialized memory is not copied to userspace.

  This set of changes is part of a new design to clean up siginfo and
  simplify things, and hopefully make the siginfo handling robust enough
  that a simple inspection of the code can be made to ensure we don't
  copy any unitializied fields to userspace.

  The design is to unify struct siginfo and struct compat_siginfo into a
  single definition that is shared between all architectures so that
  anyone adding to the set of information shared with struct siginfo can
  see the whole picture. Hopefully ensuring all future si_code
  assignments are arch independent.

  The design is to unify copy_siginfo_to_user32 and
  copy_siginfo_from_user32 so that those function are complete and cope
  with all of the different cases documented in signinfo_layout. I don't
  think there was a single implementation of either of those functions
  that was complete and correct before my changes unified them.

  The design is to introduce a series of helpers including
  force_siginfo_fault that take the values that are needed in struct
  siginfo and build the siginfo structure for their callers. Ensuring
  struct siginfo is built correctly.

  The remaining work for 4.17 (unless someone thinks it is post -rc1
  material) is to push usage of those helpers down into the
  architectures so that architecture specific code will not need to deal
  with the fiddly work of intializing struct siginfo, and then when
  struct siginfo is guaranteed to be fully initialized change copy
  siginfo_to_user into a simple wrapper around copy_to_user.

  Further there is work in progress on the issues that have been
  documented requires arch specific knowledge to sort out.

  The changes below fix or at least document all of the issues that have
  been found with siginfo generation. Then proceed to unify struct
  siginfo the 32 bit helpers that copy siginfo to and from userspace,
  and generally clean up anything that is not arch specific with regards
  to siginfo generation.

  It is a lot but with the unification you can of siginfo you can
  already see the code reduction in the kernel"

<title>signal/openrisc: Fix do_unaligned_access to send the proper signal</title>
<updated>2018-01-12T20:20:02+00:00</updated>

<id>500d58300571b6602341b041f97c082a461ef994</id>
<content type='text'>
While reviewing the signal sending on openrisc the do_unaligned_access
function stood out because it is obviously wrong.  A comment about an
si_code set above when actually si_code is never set.  Leading to a
random si_code being sent to userspace in the event of an unaligned
access.

Looking further SIGBUS BUS_ADRALN is the proper pair of signal and
si_code to send for an unaligned access. That is what other
architectures do and what is required by posix.

Given that do_unaligned_access is broken in a way that no one can be
relying on it on openrisc fix the code to just do the right thing.

While reviewing the signal sending on openrisc the do_unaligned_access
function stood out because it is obviously wrong.  A comment about an
si_code set above when actually si_code is never set.  Leading to a
random si_code being sent to userspace in the event of an unaligned
access.

Looking further SIGBUS BUS_ADRALN is the proper pair of signal and
si_code to send for an unaligned access. That is what other
architectures do and what is required by posix.

Given that do_unaligned_access is broken in a way that no one can be
relying on it on openrisc fix the code to just do the right thing.

<title>Construct init thread stack in the linker script rather than by union</title>

Construct the init thread stack in the linker script rather than doing it
by means of a union so that ia64's init_task.c can be got rid of.

The following symbols are then made available from INIT_TASK_DATA() linker
script macro:

	init_thread_union
	init_stack

INIT_TASK_DATA() also expands the region to THREAD_SIZE to accommodate the
size of the init stack.  init_thread_union is given its own section so that
it can be placed into the stack space in the right order.  I'm assuming
that the ia64 ordering is correct and that the task_struct is first and the
thread_info second.

Make THREAD_SIZE available to vmlinux.lds on openrisc by including
asm/thread_info.h the linker script.

This allows init_stack to be allocated in the linker script in a subsequent
patch.

The printk tree in linux-next has a patch "symbol lookup: introduce
dereference_symbol_descriptor()" that includes sections.h in kallsyms.h,
so arch/openrisc/kernel/traps.c gets a second extern definition for
_etext and _stext.

Remove the local definitions and include sections.h directly in
preparation for the kallsyms.h change.

This fixes the following (future) build error:

  CC      arch/openrisc/kernel/traps.o

<title>bpf: correct broken uapi for BPF_PROG_TYPE_PERF_EVENT program type</title>

Commit 0515e5999a466dfe ("bpf: introduce BPF_PROG_TYPE_PERF_EVENT
program type") introduced the bpf_perf_event_data structure which
exports the pt_regs structure.  This is OK for multiple architectures
but fail for s390 and arm64 which do not export pt_regs.  Programs
using them, for example, the bpf selftest fail to compile on these
architectures.

For s390, exporting the pt_regs is not an option because s390 wants
to allow changes to it.  For arm64, there is a user_pt_regs structure
that covers parts of the pt_regs structure for use by user space.

To solve the broken uapi for s390 and arm64, introduce an abstract
type for pt_regs and add an asm/bpf_perf_event.h file that concretes
the type.  An asm-generic header file covers the architectures that
export pt_regs today.

The arch-specific enablement for s390 and arm64 follows in separate
commits.

Patch series "kmemcheck: kill kmemcheck", v2.

As discussed at LSF/MM, kill kmemcheck.

KASan is a replacement that is able to work without the limitation of
kmemcheck (single CPU, slow).  KASan is already upstream.

We are also not aware of any users of kmemcheck (or users who don't
consider KASan as a suitable replacement).

The only objection was that since KASAN wasn't supported by all GCC
versions provided by distros at that time we should hold off for 2
years, and try again.

Now that 2 years have passed, and all distros provide gcc that supports
KASAN, kill kmemcheck again for the very same reasons.

This patch (of 4):

Remove kmemcheck annotations, and calls to kmemcheck from the kernel.
