The TS_COMPAT bit is very hot and is accessed from code paths that mostly
also touch thread_info::flags. Move it into struct thread_info to improve
cache locality.
The only reason it was in thread_struct is that there was a brief period
during which arch-specific fields were not allowed in struct thread_info.
Linus suggested further changing:
ti->status &= ~(TS_COMPAT|TS_I386_REGS_POKED);
to:
if (unlikely(ti->status & (TS_COMPAT|TS_I386_REGS_POKED)))
ti->status &= ~(TS_COMPAT|TS_I386_REGS_POKED);
on the theory that frequently dirtying the cacheline even in pure 64-bit
code that never needs to modify status hurts performance. That could be a
reasonable followup patch, but I suspect it matters less on top of this
patch.

The SYCALLL64 fast path was a nice, if small, optimization back in the good
old days when syscalls were actually reasonably fast. Now there is PTI to
slow everything down, and indirect branches are verboten, making everything
messier. The retpoline code in the fast path is particularly nasty.
Just get rid of the fast path. The slow path is barely slower.

Since commit 92a0f81d8957 ("x86/cpu_entry_area: Move it out of the
fixmap"), i386's CPU_ENTRY_AREA has been mapped to the memory area just
below FIXADDR_START. But already immediately before FIXADDR_START is the
FIX_BTMAP area, which means that early_ioremap can collide with the entry
area.
It's especially bad on PAE where FIX_BTMAP_BEGIN gets aligned to exactly
match CPU_ENTRY_AREA_BASE, so the first early_ioremap slot clobbers the
IDT and causes interrupts during early boot to reset the system.
The overlap wasn't a problem before the CPU entry area was introduced,
as the fixmap has classically been preceded by the pkmap or vmalloc
areas, neither of which is used until early_ioremap is out of the
picture.
Relocate CPU_ENTRY_AREA to below FIX_BTMAP, not just below the permanent
fixmap area.

Currently objtool requires all retpolines to be:
a) patched in with alternatives; and
b) annotated with ANNOTATE_NOSPEC_ALTERNATIVE.
If you forget to do both of the above, objtool segfaults trying to
dereference a NULL 'insn->call_dest' pointer.
Avoid that situation and print a more helpful error message:
quirks.o: warning: objtool: efi_delete_dummy_variable()+0x99: unsupported intra-function call
quirks.o: warning: objtool: If this is a retpoline, please patch it in with alternatives and annotate it with ANNOTATE_NOSPEC_ALTERNATIVE.
Future improvements can be made to make objtool smarter with respect to
retpolines, but this is a good incremental improvement for now.

The RDMA subsystem has very strict set of objects to work with, but it
completely lacks tracking facilities and has no visibility of resource
utilization.
The following patch adds such infrastructure to keep track of RDMA
resources to help with debugging of user space applications. The primary
user of this infrastructure is RDMA nldev netlink (following patches), to
be exposed to userspace via rdmatool, but it is not limited too that.
At this stage, the main three objects (PD, CQ and QP) are added, and more
will be added later.

Pull timer updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"The timer departement presents:
- A rather large rework of the hrtimer infrastructure which
introduces softirq based hrtimers to replace the spread of
hrtimer/tasklet combos which force the actual callback execution
into softirq context. The approach is completely different from the
initial implementation which you cursed at 10 years ago rightfully.
The softirq based timers have their own queues and there is no
nasty indirection and list reshuffling in the hard interrupt
anymore. This comes with conversion of some of the hrtimer/tasklet
users, the rest and the final removal of that horrible interface
will come towards the end of the merge window or go through the
relevant maintainer trees.
Note: The top commit merged the last minute bugfix for the 10 years
old CPU hotplug bug as I wanted to make sure that I fatfinger the
merge conflict resolution myself.

Wait for a response from the VNIC server before exiting after setting
the MAC address. The resolves an issue with bonding a VNIC client in
ALB or TLB modes. The bonding driver was changing the MAC address more
rapidly than the device could respond, causing the following errors.
"bond0: the hw address of slave eth2 is in use by the bond;
couldn't find a slave with a free hw address to give it
(this should not have happened)"
If the function waits until the change is finalized, these errors are
avoided.

Merge tag 'iversion-v4.16-1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jlayton/linux
Pull inode->i_version rework from Jeff Layton:
"This pile of patches is a rework of the inode->i_version field. We
have traditionally incremented that field on every inode data or
metadata change. Typically this increment needs to be logged on disk
even when nothing else has changed, which is rather expensive.
It turns out though that none of the consumers of that field actually
require this behavior. The only real requirement for all of them is
that it be different iff the inode has changed since the last time the
field was checked.
Given that, we can optimize away most of the i_version increments and
avoid dirtying inode metadata when the only change is to the i_version
and no one is querying it. Queries of the i_version field are rather
rare, so we can help write performance under many common workloads.
This patch series converts existing accesses of the i_version field to
a new API, and then converts all of the in-kernel filesystems to use
it. The last patch in the series then converts the backend
implementation to a scheme that optimizes away a large portion of the
metadata updates when no one is looking at it.
In my own testing this series significantly helps performance with
small I/O sizes. I also got this email for Christmas this year from
the kernel test robot (a 244% r/w bandwidth improvement with XFS over
DAX, with 4k writes):
https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/12/25/8
A few of the earlier patches in this pile are also flowing to you via
other trees (mm, integrity, and nfsd trees in particular)".
