2021-02-15lib/vsprintf: no_hash_pointers prints all addresses as unhashedTimur Tabi
If the no_hash_pointers command line parameter is set, then printk("%p") will print pointers as unhashed, which is useful for debugging purposes. This change applies to any function that uses vsprintf, such as print_hex_dump() and seq_buf_printf(). A large warning message is displayed if this option is enabled. Unhashed pointers expose kernel addresses, which can be a security risk. Also update test_printf to skip the hashed pointer tests if the command-line option is set.

2021-02-09x86/apb_timer: Remove driver for deprecated platformAndy Shevchenko
Intel Moorestown and Medfield are quite old Intel Atom based 32-bit platforms, which were in limited use in some Android phones, tablets and consumer electronics more than eight years ago. There are no bugs or problems ever reported outside from Intel for breaking any of that platforms for years. It seems no real users exists who run more or less fresh kernel on it. Commit 05f4434bc130 ("ASoC: Intel: remove mfld_machine") is also in align with this theory. Due to above and to reduce a burden of supporting outdated drivers, remove the support for outdated platforms completely.

2021-02-03xfs: increase the default parallelism levels of pwork clientsDarrick J. Wong
Increase the parallelism level for pwork clients to the workqueue defaults so that we can take advantage of computers with a lot of CPUs and a lot of hardware. On fast systems this will speed up quotacheck by a large factor, and the following posteof/cowblocks cleanup series will use the functionality presented in this patch to run garbage collection as quickly as possible. We do this by switching the pwork workqueue to unbounded, since the current user (quotacheck) runs lengthy scans for each work item and we don't care about dispatching the work on a warm cpu cache or anything like that. Also set WQ_SYSFS so that we can monitor where the wq is running. Signed-off-by: Darrick J.

There doesn't seem to be an actual version register we could read that information from, so allow the match_data to carry that information for future differentiation. Also carry that information in the hw_revision field of the media- controller API, so that userspace also has access to that.

2021-01-27perf/intel: Remove Perfmon-v4 counter_freezing supportPeter Zijlstra
Perfmon-v4 counter freezing is fundamentally broken; remove this default disabled code to make sure nobody uses it. The feature is called Freeze-on-PMI in the SDM, and if it would do that, there wouldn't actually be a problem, *however* it does something subtly different. It globally disables the whole PMU when it raises the PMI, not when the PMI hits. This means there's a window between the PMI getting raised and the PMI actually getting served where we loose events and this violates the perf counter independence. That is, a counting event should not result in a different event count when there is a sampling event co-scheduled. This is known to break existing software (RR).

2021-01-21doc/admin-guide/cgroup-v2: use tablesKir Kolyshkin
These two places are rendered like a table in the source (rst) code, but they are seen as plain text by formatters, and thus are joined together into a single line, e.g.: > “root” - a partition root “member” - a non-root member of a partition This is definitely not what was intended. To fix, use table formatting, like in other places.

2021-01-21dm integrity: conditionally disable "recalculate" featureMikulas Patocka
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.

2021-01-15thunderbolt: Add support for de-authorizing devicesMika Westerberg
In some cases it is useful to be able de-authorize devices. For example if user logs out the userspace can have a policy that disconnects PCIe devices until logged in again. This is only possible for software based connection manager as it directly controls the tunnels. For this reason make the authorized attribute accept writing 0 which makes the software connection manager to tear down the corresponding PCIe tunnel. Userspace can check if this is supported by reading a new domain attribute deauthorization, that holds 1 in that case. While there correct tb_domain_approve_switch() kernel-doc and description of authorized attribute to mention that it is only about PCIe tunnels.
