Pull SCSI fixes from James Bottomley:
 "This is the final round of mostly small fixes in our initial submit.

  It's mostly minor fixes and driver updates. The only change of note is
  adding a virt_boundary_mask to the SCSI host and host template to
  parametrise this for NVMe devices instead of having them do a call in
  slave_alloc. It's a fairly straightforward conversion except in the
  two NVMe handling drivers that didn't set it who now have a virtual
  infinity parameter added"

   - Removal of obsolete ib_ucm chardev and nes driver

   - netlink based discovery of chardevs and autoloading of the modules
     providing them

   - Move more of the rdamvt/hfi1 uapi to include/uapi/rdma

   - New driver 'siw' for software based iWarp running on top of netdev,
     much like rxe's software RoCE.

   - mlx5 feature to report events in their raw devx format to userspace

   - Expose per-object counters through rdma tool

   - Adaptive interrupt moderation for RDMA (DIM), sharing the DIM core
     from netdev"

   - bus iteration function cleanups

   - scripts/get_abi.pl tool to display and parse Documentation/ABI

   - cleanups to Documenatation/ABI/ entries to make them parse easier

   - default_attrs use for some ktype users

   - driver model documentation file conversions to .rst

Merge updates from Andrew Morton:
 "Am experimenting with splitting MM up into identifiable subsystems
  perhaps with a view to gitifying it in complex ways. Also with more
  verbose "incoming" emails.

  Most of MM is here and a few other trees.

  Subsystems affected by this patch series:
   - hotfixes
   - iommu
   - scripts
   - arch/sh
   - ocfs2
   - mm:slab-generic
   - mm:slub
   - mm:kmemleak
   - mm:kasan
   - mm:cleanups
   - mm:debug
   - mm:pagecache
   - mm:swap
   - mm:memcg
   - mm:gup
   - mm:pagemap
   - mm:infrastructure
   - mm:vmalloc
   - mm:initialization
   - mm:pagealloc
   - mm:vmscan
   - mm:tools
   - mm:proc
   - mm:ras
   - mm:oom-kill

  hotfixes:
      mm: vmscan: scan anonymous pages on file refaults
      mm/nvdimm: add is_ioremap_addr and use that to check ioremap address
      mm/memcontrol: fix wrong statistics in memory.stat
      mm/z3fold.c: lock z3fold page before  __SetPageMovable()
      nilfs2: do not use unexported cpu_to_le32()/le32_to_cpu() in uapi header
      MAINTAINERS: nilfs2: update email address

  iommu:
      include/linux/dmar.h: replace single-char identifiers in macros

  scripts:
      scripts/decode_stacktrace: match basepath using shell prefix operator, not regex
      scripts/decode_stacktrace: look for modules with .ko.debug extension
      scripts/spelling.txt: drop "sepc" from the misspelling list
      scripts/spelling.txt: add spelling fix for prohibited
      scripts/decode_stacktrace: Accept dash/underscore in modules
      scripts/spelling.txt: add more spellings to spelling.txt

Patch series "add init_on_alloc/init_on_free boot options", v10.

Provide init_on_alloc and init_on_free boot options.

These are aimed at preventing possible information leaks and making the
control-flow bugs that depend on uninitialized values more deterministic.

Enabling either of the options guarantees that the memory returned by the
page allocator and SL[AU]B is initialized with zeroes.  SLOB allocator
isn't supported at the moment, as its emulation of kmem caches complicates
handling of SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU caches correctly.

Enabling init_on_free also guarantees that pages and heap objects are
initialized right after they're freed, so it won't be possible to access
stale data by using a dangling pointer.

As suggested by Michal Hocko, right now we don't let the heap users to
disable initialization for certain allocations.  There's not enough
evidence that doing so can speed up real-life cases, and introducing ways
to opt-out may result in things going out of control.

This patch (of 2):

The new options are needed to prevent possible information leaks and make
control-flow bugs that depend on uninitialized values more deterministic.

This is expected to be on-by-default on Android and Chrome OS.  And it
gives the opportunity for anyone else to use it under distros too via the
boot args.  (The init_on_free feature is regularly requested by folks
where memory forensics is included in their threat models.)

init_on_alloc=1 makes the kernel initialize newly allocated pages and heap
objects with zeroes.  Initialization is done at allocation time at the
places where checks for __GFP_ZERO are performed.

init_on_free=1 makes the kernel initialize freed pages and heap objects
with zeroes upon their deletion.  This helps to ensure sensitive data
doesn't leak via use-after-free accesses.

Both init_on_alloc=1 and init_on_free=1 guarantee that the allocator
returns zeroed memory.  The two exceptions are slab caches with
constructors and SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU flag.  Those are never
zero-initialized to preserve their semantics.

Both init_on_alloc and init_on_free default to zero, but those defaults
can be overridden with CONFIG_INIT_ON_ALLOC_DEFAULT_ON and
CONFIG_INIT_ON_FREE_DEFAULT_ON.

If either SLUB poisoning or page poisoning is enabled, those options take
precedence over init_on_alloc and init_on_free: initialization is only
applied to unpoisoned allocations.

Slowdown for the new features compared to init_on_free=0, init_on_alloc=0:

hackbench, init_on_free=1:  +7.62% sys time (st.err 0.74%)
hackbench, init_on_alloc=1: +7.75% sys time (st.err 2.14%)

Linux build with -j12, init_on_free=1:  +8.38% wall time (st.err 0.39%)
Linux build with -j12, init_on_free=1:  +24.42% sys time (st.err 0.52%)
Linux build with -j12, init_on_alloc=1: -0.13% wall time (st.err 0.42%)
Linux build with -j12, init_on_alloc=1: +0.57% sys time (st.err 0.40%)

The slowdown for init_on_free=0, init_on_alloc=0 compared to the baseline
is within the standard error.

The new features are also going to pave the way for hardware memory
tagging (e.g.  arm64's MTE), which will require both on_alloc and on_free
hooks to set the tags for heap objects.  With MTE, tagging will have the
same cost as memory initialization.

Although init_on_free is rather costly, there are paranoid use-cases where
in-memory data lifetime is desired to be minimized.  There are various
arguments for/against the realism of the associated threat models, but
given that we'll need the infrastructure for MTE anyway, and there are
people who want wipe-on-free behavior no matter what the performance cost,
it seems reasonable to include it in this series.

The new siw driver fails to build on i386 with

                smp_store_mb(*cq-&gt;notify, SIW_NOTIFY_NOT);

As it is using 64 bit values with the smp_store_mb.

Since the entire scheme here seems questionable, and we are in the merge
window, fix the compile failures by disabling 32 bit support on this
driver.

A proper fix will be reviewed post merge window.

Pull SCSI updates from James Bottomley:
 "This is mostly update of the usual drivers: qla2xxx, hpsa, lpfc, ufs,
  mpt3sas, ibmvscsi, megaraid_sas, bnx2fc and hisi_sas as well as the
  removal of the osst driver (I heard from Willem privately that he
  would like the driver removed because all his test hardware has
  failed). Plus number of minor changes, spelling fixes and other
  trivia.

  The big merge conflict this time around is the SPDX licence tags.
  Following discussion on linux-next, we believe our version to be more
  accurate than the one in the tree, so the resolution is to take our
  version for all the SPDX conflicts"

Note on the SPDX license tag conversion conflicts: the SCSI tree had
done its own SPDX conversion, which in some cases conflicted with the
treewide ones done by Thomas &amp; co.

In almost all cases, the conflicts were purely syntactic: the SCSI tree
used the old-style SPDX tags ("GPL-2.0" and "GPL-2.0+") while the
treewide conversion had used the new-style ones ("GPL-2.0-only" and
"GPL-2.0-or-later").

In these cases I picked the new-style one.

In a few cases, the SPDX conversion was actually different, though.  As
explained by James above, and in more detail in a pre-pull-request
thread:

 "The other problem is actually substantive: In the libsas code Luben
  Tuikov originally specified gpl 2.0 only by dint of stating:

  * This file is licensed under GPLv2.

  In all the libsas files, but then muddied the water by quoting GPLv2
  verbatim (which includes the or later than language). So for these
  files Christoph did the conversion to v2 only SPDX tags and Thomas
  converted to v2 or later tags"

So in those cases, where the spdx tag substantially mattered, I took the
SCSI tree conversion of it, but then also took the opportunity to turn
the old-style "GPL-2.0" into a new-style "GPL-2.0-only" tag.

Similarly, when there were whitespace differences or other differences
to the comments around the copyright notices, I took the version from
the SCSI tree as being the more specific conversion.

Finally, in the spdx conversions that had no conflicts (because the
treewide ones hadn't been done for those files), I just took the SCSI
tree version as-is, even if it was old-style.  The old-style conversions
are perfectly valid, even if the "-only" and "-or-later" versions are
perhaps more descriptive.
