linux/types.h: enable endian checks for all sparse builds
By now, linux is mostly endian-clean. Enabling endian-ness
checks for everyone produces about 200 new sparse warnings for me -
less than 10% over the 2000 sparse warnings already there.
Not a big deal, OTOH enabling this helps people notice
they are introducing new bugs.
So let's just drop __CHECK_ENDIAN__. Follow-up patches
can drop distinction between __bitwise and __bitwise__.

vringh: kill off ACCESS_ONCE()
Despite living under drivers/ vringh.c is also used as part of the userspace
virtio tools. Before we can kill off the ACCESS_ONCE()definition in the tools,
we must convert vringh.c to use {READ,WRITE}_ONCE().
This patch does so, along with the required include of <linux/compiler.h> for
the relevant definitions. The userspace tools provide their own definitions in
their own <linux/compiler.h>.

tools/virtio: fix READ_ONCE()
The virtio tools implementation of READ_ONCE() has a single parameter called
'var', but erroneously refers to 'val' for its cast, and thus won't work unless
there's a variable of the correct type that happens to be called 'var'.
Fix this with s/var/val/, making READ_ONCE() work as expected regardless.

crypto: add virtio-crypto driver
This patch introduces virtio-crypto driver for Linux Kernel.
The virtio crypto device is a virtual cryptography device
as well as a kind of virtual hardware accelerator for
virtual machines. The encryption anddecryption requests
are placed in the data queue and are ultimately handled by
thebackend crypto accelerators. The second queue is the
control queue used to create or destroy sessions for
symmetric algorithms and will control some advanced features
in the future. The virtio crypto device provides the following
cryptoservices: CIPHER, MAC, HASH, and AEAD.

vhost: cache used event for better performance
When event index was enabled, we need to fetch used event from
userspace memory each time. This userspace fetch (with memory
barrier) could be saved sometime when 1) caching used event and 2)
if used event is ahead of new and old to new updating does not cross
it, we're sure there's no need to notify guest.
This will be useful for heavy tx load e.g guest pktgen test with Linux

There is basically no shared logic between the INTx and MSI-X case in

a little bit.

Commit 34c3d9819fda ("genirq/affinity: Provide smarter irq spreading
infrastructure") introduced a better IRQ spreading mechanism, taking
account of the available NUMA nodes in the machine.
Problem is that the algorithm of retrieving the nodemask iterates
"linearly" based on the number of online nodes - some architectures
present non-linear node distribution among the nodemask, like PowerPC.
If this is the case, the algorithm lead to a wrong node count number
and therefore to a bad/incomplete IRQ affinity distribution.
For example, this problem were found in a machine with 128 CPUs and two
nodes, namely nodes 0 and 8 (instead of 0 and 1, if it was linearly
distributed). This led to a wrong affinity distribution which then led to
a bad mq allocation for nvme driver.
Finally, we take the opportunity to fix a comment regarding the affinity
distribution when we have _more_ nodes than vectors.

tick/broadcast: Prevent NULL pointer dereference
When a disfunctional timer, e.g. dummy timer, is installed, the tick core
tries to setup the broadcast timer.
If no broadcast device is installed, the kernel crashes with a NULL pointer
dereference in tick_broadcast_setup_oneshot() because the function has no
sanity check.

clocksource/dummy_timer: Move hotplug callback after the real timers
When the dummy timer callback is invoked before the real timer callbacks,
then it tries to install that timer for the starting CPU. If the platform
does not have a broadcast timer installed the installation fails with a
kernel crash. The crash happens due to a unconditional deference of the non
available broadcast device. This needs to be fixed in the timer core code.
But even when this is fixed in the core code then installing the dummy
timer before the real timers is a pointless exercise.
driver-api: create an edac.rst file with EDAC documentation
Currently, there's no device driver documentation for the EDAC
subsystem at the driver-api book. Fill in the blanks for the
structures and functions that misses documentation, uniform
the word on the existing ones, and add a new edac.rst file at
driver-api, in order to document the EDAC subsystem.
The edac.txt assumes that the reader has already deep knowledge
on RAS features. However, this may not be the case. So, add an
introduction chapter explaining the main concepts that are used by
the EDAC subsystem and by other RAS drivers within the Kernel.
edac.txt: update information about newer Intel CPUs
There's a chapter at edac.rst written by the time Nehalem
support was added. Such information is used not only by the
Nehalem driver (i7core_edac), but by all newer Intel CPU
architectures that are supported by i7core_edac, sb_edac
and sbx_edac drivers.
edac.txt: remove info that the Nehalem EDAC is experimental
This driver has been there for almost 3 years, without any
conceptual changes. So, it is not experimental anymore, and
won't likely have any changes at the API or on log outputs.
Converts the EDAC driver subsystem documentation to ReST:
- Put paragraph titles in lower case;
- Add code blocks where needed;
- Convert tables to ReST markup;
- Mark filesystem and module names as verbatim;
- Adjust document to be properly displayed in html.
edac.txt: add a section explaining the dimmX and rankX directories
Documentation for those are missing at the EDAC description.
I guess we end by moving such descriptions in the past to the
ABI document (or only added it there), but it means that the
EDAC documentation is incomplete. So, add it there.

x86/tsc: Force TSC_ADJUST register to value >= zero
Roland reported that his DELL T5810 sports a value add BIOS which
completely wreckages the TSC. The squirmware [(TM) Ingo Molnar] boots with
random negative TSC_ADJUST values, different on all CPUs. That renders the
TSC useless because the sycnchronization check fails.
Roland tested the new TSC_ADJUST mechanism. While it manages to readjust
the TSCs he needs to disable the TSC deadline timer, otherwise the machine
just stops booting.
Deeper investigation unearthed that the TSC deadline timer is sensitive to
the TSC_ADJUST value. Writing TSC_ADJUST to a negative value results in an
interrupt storm caused by the TSC deadline timer.
This does not make any sense and it's hard to imagine what kind of hardware
wreckage is behind that misfeature, but it's reliably reproducible on other
systems which have TSC_ADJUST and TSC deadline timer.
While it would be understandable that a big enough negative value which
moves the resulting TSC readout into the negative space could have the
described effect, this happens even with a adjust value of -1, which keeps
the TSC readout definitely in the positive space. The compare register for
the TSC deadline timer is set to a positive value larger than the TSC, but
despite not having reached the deadline the interrupt is raised
immediately. If this happens on the boot CPU, then the machine dies
silently because this setup happens before the NMI watchdog is armed.
Further experiments showed that any other adjustment of TSC_ADJUST works as
expected as long as it stays in the positive range. The direction of the
adjustment has no influence either. See the lkml link for further analysis.
Yet another proof for the theory that timers are designed by janitors and
the underlying (obviously undocumented) mechanisms which allow BIOSes to
wreckage them are considered a feature. Well done Intel - NOT!
To address this wreckage add the following sanity measures:
- If the TSC_ADJUST value on the boot cpu is not 0, set it to 0
- If the TSC_ADJUST value on any cpu is negative, set it to 0
- Prevent the cross package synchronization mechanism from setting negative
TSC_ADJUST values.

x86/smpboot: Prevent false positive out of bounds cpumask access warning
prefill_possible_map() reinitializes the cpu_possible_map by setting the
possible cpu bits and clearing all other bits up to NR_CPUS.
This is technically always correct because cpu_possible_map is statically
allocated and sized NR_CPUS. With CPUMASK_OFFSTACK and DEBUG_PER_CPU_MAPS
enabled the bounds check of cpu masks happens on nr_cpu_ids. nr_cpu_ids is
initialized to NR_CPUS and only limited after the set/clear bit loops have
been executed.
But if the system was booted with "nr_cpus=N" on the command line, where N
is < NR_CPUS then nr_cpu_ids is limited in the parameter parsing function
before prefill_possible_map() is invoked. As a consequence the cpumask
bounds check triggers when clearing the bits past nr_cpu_ids.
Add a helper which allows to reset cpu_possible_map w/o the bounds check
and then set only the possible bits which are well inside bounds.

printk: remove console flushing special cases for partial buffered lines
It actively hurts proper merging, and makes for a lot of special cases.
There was a good(ish) reason for doing it originally, but it's getting
too painful to maintain. And most of the original reasons for it are
long gone.
So instead of having special code to flush partial lines to the console
(as opposed to the record buffers), do _all_ the console writing from
the record buffer, and be done with it.
If an oops happens (or some other synchronous event), we will flush the
partial lines due to the oops printing activity, so this does not affect
that. It does mean that if you have a completely hung machine, a
partial preceding line may not have been printed out.
That was some of the original reason for this complexity, in fact, back
when we used to test for the historical i386 "halt" instruction problem
by doing
and that model no longer works (it the 'hlt' instruction kills the
machine, the partial line won't have been flushed, so you won't even see
it).
Of course, that was also back in the days when people actually had
textual console output rather than a graphical splash-screen at bootup.
How times change..

printk: remove games with previous record flags
The record logging code looks at the previous record flags in various
ways, and they are all wrong.
You can't use the previous record flags to determine anything about the
next record, because they may simply not be related. In particular, the
reason the previous record was a continuation record may well be exactly
_because_ the new record was printed by a different process, which is
why the previous record was flushed.
So all those games are simply wrong, and make the code hard to
understand (because the code fundamentally cdoes not make sense).
vhost_umem_interval_tree is only used locally within vhost.c, mark it
static. As some functions generated go unused, this triggers warnings
unless we also mark it inline.
virtio_gpu_queue_ctrl_buffer_locked is called with ctrlq.qlock taken, it
releases and acquires this lock. This causes a sparse warning. Add
appropriate annotations for sparse context checking.
When virtio_gpu_free_vbufs exits due to list empty, it does not
drop the free_vbufs lock that it took.
list empty is not expected to happen anyway, but it can't hurt to fix
this and drop the lock.
struct ports_device includes a config field including the whole
virtio_console_config, but only max_nr_ports in there is ever updated or
used. The rest is unused and in fact does not even mirror the
device config. Drop everything except max_nr_ports,
