syscalls: Remove start and number from syscall_set_arguments() args

2019-04-05T13:27:23Z

After removing the start and count arguments of syscall_get_arguments() it seems reasonable to remove them from syscall_set_arguments(). Note, as of today, there are no users of syscall_set_arguments(). But we are told that there will be soon. But for now, at least make it consistent with syscall_get_arguments().

syscalls: Remove start and number from syscall_get_arguments() args

2019-04-05T13:26:43Z

At Linux Plumbers, Andy Lutomirski approached me and pointed out that the function call syscall_get_arguments() implemented in x86 was horribly written and not optimized for the standard case of passing in 0 and 6 for the starting index and the number of system calls to get. When looking at all the users of this function, I discovered that all instances pass in only 0 and 6 for these arguments. Instead of having this function handle different cases that are never used, simply rewrite it to return the first 6 arguments of a system call. This should help out the performance of tracing system calls by ptrace, ftrace and perf.

kbuild: force all architectures except um to include mandatory-y

2019-03-17T03:56:32Z

Currently, every arch/*/include/uapi/asm/Kbuild explicitly includes the common Kbuild.asm file. Factor out the duplicated include directives to scripts/Makefile.asm-generic so that no architecture would opt out of the mandatory-y mechanism. um is not forced to include mandatory-y since it is a very exceptional case which does not support UAPI.

Other than that, just the usual set of individual driver updates and fixes. There's an "odd" merge in here from the DRM tree that they asked me to do as the MEI driver is starting to interact with the i915 driver, and it needed some coordination.

x86/unwind/orc: Fix ORC unwind table alignment

2019-03-06T19:36:32Z

The .orc_unwind section is a packed array of 6-byte structs. It's currently aligned to 6 bytes, which is causing warnings in the LLD linker. Six isn't a power of two, so it's not a valid alignment value. The actual alignment doesn't matter much because it's an array of packed structs. An alignment of two is sufficient. In reality it always gets aligned to four bytes because it comes immediately after the 4-byte-aligned .orc_unwind_ip section.

Pull locking updates from Ingo Molnar: "The biggest part of this tree is the new auto-generated atomics API wrappers by Mark Rutland. The primary motivation was to allow instrumentation without uglifying the primary source code. The linecount increase comes from adding the auto-generated files to the Git space as well: include/asm-generic/atomic-instrumented.h | 1689 ++++++++++++++++-- include/asm-generic/atomic-long.h | 1174 ++++++++++--- include/linux/atomic-fallback.h | 2295 +++++++++++++++++++++++++ include/linux/atomic.h | 1241 +------------ I preferred this approach, so that the full call stack of the (already complex) locking APIs is still fully visible in 'git grep'. But if this is excessive we could certainly hide them. There's a separate build-time mechanism to determine whether the headers are out of date (they should never be stale if we do our job right). Anyway, nothing from this should be visible to regular kernel developers. Other changes: - Add support for dynamic keys, which removes a source of false positives in the workqueue code, among other things (Bart Van Assche) - Updates to tools/memory-model (Andrea Parri, Paul E.
