== Support for Radeon RX480 GPUs ==

This release includes support for just released [[http://www.amd.com/en-us/products/graphics/radeon-rx-series/radeon-rx-480|Radeon RX 480 GPUs]] in the amdgpu driver, which is the first device based on the new Polaris architecture. Support is on par with the rest of devices of the amdgpu driver.

== Parallel directory lookups ==

The directory cache caches information about path names to make them quickly available for pathname lookup. This allows to speed up many common operations; for example, it allows to determine if a particular file or directory exists without having to read the disk. This cache uses a mutex to serialize lookup of names in the same directory.

In this release, the serializing mutex has been switched to a read-write semaphore, allowing for parallel pathname lookups in the same directory. Most workloads won't notice any improvement (cached pathname lookups are fast and having locking contention issues there is very rare), specific workloads that make very heavy use of pathname lookups in the same directory will be faster because they will be able to do them in parallel. Most filesystems have been converted to allow this feature.

== New 'schedutil" frequency governor ==

This release adds a new governor to the dynamic frequency scaling subsystem (cpufreq). There are two main differences between it and the existing governors. First, it uses information provided by the scheduler directly for making its decisions. Second, it can invoke cpufreq drivers and change the frequency to adjust CPU performance right away, without having to spawn work items to be executed in process context or similar.

What this means is that the latency to make frequency changes in the face of workload variations should be very small, and thanks to the information provided by the scheduler, it can make more accurate decisions. Note also that the schedutil governor, as included in this release is very simple and it's regarded as a foundation for improving on the integration of the scheduler with CPU power management; but it works and the preliminary results are encouraging. The governor shares some tunables management with other governors.

== Histograms of events in ftrace ==

'Hist' triggers are a new addition to ftrace, the Linux tracing infrastructure available [[https://kernelnewbies.org/Linux_2_6_27#head-27c23aa79ee6da975ef95b4fff381ace1667a264|since 2.6.27]] that it's embedded in the kernel and lives at {{{/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/}}}. This release adds the "hist" command, which provides the ability to build "histograms" of events by aggregating event hits. As an example, let's say a user needs to get a list of bytes read from files from each process. You can get this information using hist triggers, with the following command command:

{{{echo 'hist:key=common_pid.execname:val=count:sort=count.descending' > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/syscalls/sys_enter_read/trigger}}}

What this strange command does is to write a command to the {{{trigger}}} file of the {{{sys_enter_read}}} event (the one corresponding to a process entering the read() system call, that is, trying to read a file). Triggering this event will run the following hist command ({{{hist:}}}) that means the following: for each hit on the event, get the PID ({{{common_pid}}} (you can see all the possible fields to query in {{{/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/syscalls/sys_enter_read/format}}}) and convert it to process names ({{{.execname}}} suffix); this will be used as key ({{{key=}}}) in the histogram. The {{{val=count}}} parameter makes the hist command to also query the {{{count}}} field, which in the {{{sys_enter_read}}} event it means the number of bytes read. Finally, after the {{{:}}} separator, the {{{sort=count.descending}}} makes the command sort the result by the field {{{count}}} in descending order. This is the resulting output (note that the hits for the same PID will be aggregated):

{{{ # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/syscalls/sys_enter_read/hist

== perf trace calls stack ==

In this release, {{{perf trace}}} adds the ability of printing a userspace callchain each time an system call is hit. An example of a callchain for a recvmsg() syscall issued by gnome-shell:

{{{3292.421 ( 0.002 ms): gnome-shell/2287 recvmsg(fd: 11<socket:[35818]>, msg: 0x7ffc5ea266e0                   ) = 32

You can try it with commands such as {{{# trace --call dwarf ping 127.0.0.1}}}. You can also only print callchains for a single event, for example: {{{perf trace --event sched:sched_switch/call-graph=fp/ -a sleep 1}}}. Tracing page faults (option {{{-F/--pf}}}) also support it, for example, tracing write syscalls and major page faults with callchains while starting firefox, limiting the stack to 5 frames, can be done with {{{# perf trace -e write --pf maj --max-stack 5 firefox}}}. An excerpt of a system wide {{{perf trace --call dwarf}}} session can be [[https://fedorapeople.org/~acme/perf/perf-trace--call-graph-dwarf--all-cpus.txt|found here]].


== Allow BPF programs to attach to tracepoints ==

[[https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/trace/tracepoints.txt|Tracepoints]] are a sort of dynamic printf()s that developers introduce in their code so that they [[https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/trace/tracepoint-analysis.txt|can be used later]] to analyse the system behaviour. Tracepoints can be accessed from several utilities: LTTng, perf, SystemTap, ftrace...but they couldn't be accessed by BPF programs.

This release adds a new type of BPF program ({{{BPF_PROG_TYPE_TRACEPOINT}}}) that can be used to build BPF programs that can be attached to kernel tracepoints. This makes possible to build programs that collect data from tracepoints and process them in the BPF program. This is a faster alternative to access tracepoints than kprobes, it can make the tracing programs more stable, and allows to build more complex tracing tools.

== EFI 'Capsule' firmware updates ==

This release adds support for the the EFI Capsule mechanism, which allows to pass data blobs to the EFI firmware. The firmware then parses them and makes some decision based upon their contents. The most common use case is to bundle a flashable firmware image into a capsule that the firmware can use to upgrade in the next boot the existing version in the flash. Users can upload capsule by writting the firmware to the {{{/dev/efi_capsule_loader}}} device

== Support for creating virtual USB Device Controllers in USB/IP ==

[[http://kernelnewbies.org/Linux_3.17#head-ad2bdd52ff1be7c7fc7cb3045a4cfd6032514933|USB/IP]] allows to shared USB devices over the network. The USB devices need, however, to be real devices. This release brings the ability to create virtual USB Device Controllers without needing any physical USB device, using the [[https://www.kernel.org/doc/htmldocs/gadget/index.html|USB gadget subsystem]].

This feature has several uses; for example, it makes possible to improve phone emulation in development environments. Emulated phones can be now connected to developer's machine or another virtual machine as if it would be a physical phone. It is also useful for testing USB and for educational purposes.

== Android's sync_file fencing mechanism considered stable ==

In this release, the sync_file code that was in the staging/ directory has been moved to the real kernel. The Linux Kernel only had an implicit fencing mechanism where the fence are attached directly to buffers and userspace is unaware of what is happening; explicit fencing is not supported.

sync_file is a explicit fencing mechanism designed for Android that help the userspace handles fences directly. Instead of attaching a fence to the buffer a producer driver, it sends the fence related to the buffer to userspace via a sync_file, which can then be sent to the consumer, that will not use the buffer for anything before the fence(s) signals. With this explicit fencing we have a global mechanism that optimizes the flow of buffers between consumers and producers, avoid a lot of waiting. So instead of waiting for a buffer to be processed by the GPU before sending it to DRM in an Atomic IOCTL we can get a sync_file fd from the GPU driver at the moment we submit the buffer processing. The compositor then passes these fds to DRM in a atomic commit request, that will not be displayed until the fences signal, i.e, the GPU finished processing the buffer and it is ready to display.

== LoadPin, a security module to restrict the origin of kernel modules ==

{{{LoadPin}}} is a new Linux Security Module that ensures all files loaded by the kernel (kernel modules, firmware, kexec images, security policies) all originate from the same filesystem. The expectation is that the filesystem is backed by a read-only device such as a CDROM or dm-verity (this feature comes from ChromeOS, where the device as a whole is verified cryptographically via dm-verity). This allows systems that have a verified and/or unchangeable filesystem to enforce module and firmware loading restrictions without needing to [[http://kernelnewbies.org/Linux_3.7#head-a04c2b7827323d26a659b3b7cdf759747bb400d2|sign the files]] individually.

 * The kernel and some modules make many symbols available for other modules to use via {{{EXPORT_SYMBOL()}}} and variants. Depending on the set of modules being selected in your kernel configuration, many of those exported symbols might never be used.

In turn, this provides the compiler more opportunities (especially when using LTO) for optimizing the code and reducing binary size [[https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/dbacb0ef670d057a2c52c0e1e642bab727f6b4cb|commit]]

= Memory management =
 * Support bigger cache working sets and protect against writes. Due to problems with some specific PostgreSQL workloads, two changes have been made to the memory management code: 1) stop promoting pages that are written or rewritten to the active list of file pages, because there are good chances that the data may not be read again, or they may even be rewritten again before they are read, so these pages may occupy space in the active file list that could be used by pages that are read frequently 2) remove the enforcement that requires the inactive file list have a minimum size of 50% of the file cache. With the [[http://kernelnewbies.org/Linux_3.15#head-dbe2430cd9e5ed1d3f2362367758cd490aba4b9d|workingset refault measurement]], the system can afford (on a larger systems) to make the inactive file list smaller. This release allows to increase the active list on the same ratios used for anonymous memory, which should help things like database workloads, where only half the page cache could be used to cache the database working set [[https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/f0281a00fe80f0e689dd51e68c3aed5f6ef1bf58|commit]], [[https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/bbddabe2e436aa7869b3ac5248df5c14ddde0cbf|commit]], [[https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/59dc76b0d4dfdd7dc46a1010e4afb44f60f3e97f|commit]]

This security feature reduces the predictability of the kernel SLAB allocator against heap overflows rendering attacks much less stable [[https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/c7ce4f60ac199fb3521c5fcd64da21cee801ec2b|commit]]
 * Enable {{{RLIMIT_DATA}}} by default with workaround for valgrind [[https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/f4fcd55841fc9e46daac553b39361572453c2b88|commit]]
 * KASAN: initial memory quarantine implementation, which isolates freed objects in a separate queue. The objects are returned to the allocator later when they are required; this to detect use-after-free errors [[https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/55834c59098d0c5a97b0f3247e55832b67facdcf|commit]]
 * compressed swap: add z3fold, a special purpose allocator for storing compressed pages.  It is designed to store up to three compressed pages per physical page. It is a ZBUD derivative which allows for higher compression ratio keeping the simplicity and determinism of its predecessor [[https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/9a001fc19cccdeb9be4c3b89ad089d92df303c44|commit]]
 * zram: introduce per-device debug_stat in {{{/sys/block/zram<id>/debug_stat}}} [[https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/623e47fc64f8de480b322b7ed68855f97137e2a5|commit]]
 * vmscan: consider classzone_idx in compaction_ready [[https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/b6459cc154e804f0de0d61fa023c4946b742cc96|commit]]



= Block layer =
 * Device DAX (/dev/dax) for persistent memory: Device DAX is the device-centric analogue of filesystem DAX ({{{CONFIG_FS_DAX}}}). It allows memory ranges to be allocated and mapped to  without need of an intervening file system. Device DAX is strict, precise and predictable. Specifically this interface: Guarantees fault granularity with respect to a given page size set at configuration time, and enforces deterministic behaviour by being strict about what fault scenarios are supported [[https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/cd03412a51ac4cb3001a8cdfae4560c9602f3387|commit]], [[https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/c5ed9268643c7c4c9f2aaa0fd4c936095e6480ef|commit]], [[https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/dee410792419aaa8bc3e3b35d2ccb6515835916d|commit]], [[https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/ab68f26221366f92611650e8470e6a926801c7d4|commit]]

 * Add a {{{write_cache}}} sysfs file that will display whether the device has write back caching enabled or not. It will return "write back" for the former case, and "write through" for the latter. Writing to this file can change the kernels view of the device, but it doesn't alter the device state [[https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/93e9d8e836cb1a9a58b33eb6643bf061c6119ef2|commit]]
 * UBI: Add ro-mode sysfs attribute [[https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/525bab71feb152bccb65054cc2bca1537e3bd2b5|commit]]


= Security =
 * (FEATURED) New Linux Security Module, {{{LoadPin}}}, which enforces that kernel-loaded files (modules, firmware, etc) must all come from the same filesystem, with the expectation that such a filesystem is backed by a read-only device such as dm-verity or CD-ROM. This allows systems that have a verified and/or unchangeable filesystem to enforce module and firmware loading restrictions without needing to sign the files individually [[https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/9b091556a073a9f5f93e2ad23d118f45c4796a84|commit]], [[https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/b937190c40de0f6f07f592042e3097b16c6b0130|commit]]

 * Keys: Adds userspace access to Diffie-Hellman computations through a new {{{keyctl()}}} syscall command ({{{KEYCTL_DH_COMPUTE}}}) to calculate shared secrets or public keys using input parameters stored in the keyring [[https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/ddbb41148724367394d0880c516bfaeed127b52e|commit]]
 * Keys: Add a facility whereby proposed new links to be added to a keyring can be vetted, permitting them to be rejected if necessary. This can be used to block public keys from which the signature cannot be verified or for which the signature verification fails.  It could also be used to provide blacklisting [[https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/5ac7eace2d00eab5ae0e9fdee63e38aee6001f7c|commit]], [[https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/d3bfe84129f65e0af2450743ebdab33d161d01c9|commit]]

 * perf bpf: Automagically create a 'bpf-output' event, easing the setup of BPF C "scripts" that produce output via the perf ring buffer. Now it is just a matter of calling any perf tool, such as 'trace', with a C source file that references the {{{__bpf_stdout__}}} output channel and that channel will be created and connected to the script [[https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/72c0809856b9174e71eab4e293089f6a114e0d41|commit]]

Use of TSC is selected by an environment variable {{{JITDUMP_USE_ARCH_TIMESTAMP}}} and flagged in the jitdump file with flag {{{JITDUMP_FLAGS_ARCH_TIMESTAMP}}} [[https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/2a28e23049af99e1c810111ef5e56455cafeda45|commit]]

 * perf record: Add {{{--timestamp-filename}}} option to append timestamp to output file name, e.g. {{{perf.data.2015122622265847}}}. Will be useful after funcionality is introduced to make {{{perf.data}}} file snapshots [[https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/ecfd7a9c044e98fc3da8937e652080bc5abe7918|commit]]

 * BPF
  * Add support for further security hardening of JIT generated images through generic support for blinding constants. A new {{{/proc/sys/net/core/bpf_jit_harden}}} file is provided that admins can tweak along with {{{/proc/sys/net/core/bpf_jit_enable}}}, so that for cases where JIT should be enabled for performance reasons, the generated image can be further hardened with blinding constants for unpriviledged users ({{{bpf_jit_harden}}} == 1), with trading off performance for these, but not for privileged ones. {{{bpf_hit_harden}}} enables blinding for all users. This functionality provides a generic eBPF byte-code level based blinding implementation, which is then just transparently JITed. JIT compilers need to make only a few changes to integrate this facility [[https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/4f3446bb809f20ad56cadf712e6006815ae7a8f9|commit]]
  * Extended BPF carried over two instructions from classic to access network packet data: {{{LD_ABS}}} and {{{LD_IND}}}. They're highly optimized in JITs, but due to their design they have to do length check for every access. This releases incorporates direct packet access, which eliminates the overhead [[https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/969bf05eb3cedd5a8d4b7c346a85c2ede87a6d6d|commit]]
  * Add event output helper for notifications/sampling/logging [[https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/bd570ff970a54df653b48ed0cfb373f2ebed083d|commit]]


= Virtualization =
 * KVM
  * Create debugfs dir and stat files for each VM, named after its PID and file descriptor. The directories contain the same kind of files that are already in the KVM debugfs directory, but the data exported through them is now VM specific [[https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/536a6f88c49dd739961ffd53774775afed852c83|commit]]
  * Add kvm_stat vm monitor script [[https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/f9bc9e65fbec1781f64effc6bcc3b6edc57f8d19|commit]], [[https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/f0cf040f842242d55744c2606e8b7177507fbbb0|commit]]

= Networking =
 * Add support for partial Generic Segmentation Offload. The basic idea is that the kernel can support a broader range of devices for segmentation if the kernel uses fixed outer headers and have the hardware only really deal with segmenting the inner header [[https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/802ab55adc39a06940a1b384e9fd0387fc762d7e|commit]]
 * Generic Routing Encapsulation (GRE): Add support for Generic Receive Offload/Generic Segmentation Offload of IPv6 GRE traffic [[https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/e0c20967c8a653d0213238621381e224d8f065fc|commit]]
 * Generic Receive Offload: Allow TCP to aggregate TCP frames with a fixed IPv4 ID field. As a result the kernel should now be able to aggregate flows that were converted from IPv6 to IPv4. Also force the IP ID to be incrementing by 1 unless the DF bit is set in the outer IPv4 header to avoid creating overlapping series of IP IDs that could possibly be fragmented if the frame goes through GRO and is then resegmented via GSO [[https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/1530545ed64b42e87acb43c0c16401bd1ebae6bf|commit]]

 * Infiniband
  * IPoIB: Currently an IPoIB interface will always be created with a device address based on its node GUID without a way to change that. This release adds the ability to set the device address of an IPoIB interface by value [[https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/492a7e67ff83fc59adb768de25ccaecd33d46beb|commit]]
  * IPoIB: Add readout of statistics using ethtool [[https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/e3614bc9dc448c3395adf311098dfc64abcc5a35|commit]]

  * Support new type of join-state for multicast. There are four types for MCG, {{{FullMember, NonMember}}} and {{{SendOnlyNonMember}}}. This release adds a new type: {{{SendOnlyFullMember}}}, which allows host to send join request as sendonly, it will cause the group to be created but without getting packets from this multicast back to the host [[https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/cd6e9b7ef90515cb90962059ffb03b679de27f99|commit]]

 * Wireless
  * Allow a scan request for a specific BSSID to be optimized by the user space by requesting to set the Probe Request frame BSSID field (Address 3) to the specified BSSID instead of the wildcard BSSID. This prevents other APs from replying which reduces airtime need and latency in getting the response from the target AP through [[https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/e345f44f2b7c6a77c1c0677b7c8606a0bb1c5c5c|commit]], [[https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/818965d3917774955fad52f87b59d690d8be9e8b|commit]]
  * Add support for Aggregationg of MAC Service Data Unit tx. Requires software tx queueing and fast-xmit support [[https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/6e0456b5454561c4e9fa9e8a4acea405e6d56c80|commit]]
  * Add fast-rx path [[https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/49ddf8e6e2347cffdcf83d1ca2d04ff929820178|commit]]
  * hwsim: Support a hw scan request for a specific BSSID [[https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/12880d169471fb14c46d6f323f31127702a6d5e6|commit]]
  * Add support for {{{NL80211_STA_INFO_RX_DURATION}}}. If present, this attribute contains the aggregate PPDU duration (in microseconds) for all the frames from the peer. This is useful to help understand the total time spent transmitting by all of the connected peers [[https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/739960f128e5a1f251659a4430a8898087701099|commit]]
  * Extend the {{{NL80211_CMD_CONNECT}}} command to allow the {{{NL80211_ATTR_PREV_BSSID}}} attribute to be used similarly to way this was already allowed with {{{NL80211_CMD_ASSOCIATE}}}. This allows user space to request reassociation (instead of association) when already connected to an AP, providing an option to reassociate within an ESS without having to disconnect and associate with the AP [[https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/ba6fbacf9c073effaedf0c52fe7e52e2baf67725|commit]]
  * Legacy clients don't support P2P power save mechanisms, and thus if a P2P GO has a legacy client connected to it, it has to make some changes in the PS behavior.

This way if needed a device can then later enable the TCP Segmentation Offload with IP ID mangling and the tunnels on top of that device can then also make use of the IP ID mangling as well [[https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/7f348a60762afd4cd0e4e7fa14cfa66331b7c30e|commit]]
 * Add {{{SOCK_RCU_FREE}}} socket flag that UDP sockets and TCP listeners can set so that their lookup can use traditional RCU rules, without refcount changes. The UDP stack is instructed to not use {{{SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU}}}, in order to speedup rx processing for traffic encapsulated in UDP; performance for a single UDP socket receiving flood traffic from many RX queues/cpus is increased. TCP listeners are changed to use {{{SOCK_RCU_FREE}}} as well to avoid touching sk_refcnt under synflood. Peak performance under SYNFLOOD is increased by ~33% [[https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/3b24d854cb35383c30642116e5992fd619bdc9bc|commit]], [[https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/ca065d0cf80fa547724440a8bf37f1e674d917c0|commit]], [[https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/ee3cf32a4a5e6cf5ccc0f0de9865fda3ebc46436|commit]], [[https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/2d331915a04144dad738e725769d8fac06ef6155|commit]], [[https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/a4298e4522d687a79af8f8fbb7eca68399ab2d81|commit]]

  * Improve even more the resistance to synflood (performance under synflood goes from 3.2 Mpps to 6 Mpps) [[https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/b3d051477cf94e9d71d6acadb8a90de15237b9c1|commit]], [[https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/8804b2722dc5d6f9b7ba0a9e812eae9ee5ce95bc|commit]]

 * Enable TX timestamping via [[http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man3/cmsg.3.html|cmsg]]. Currently, {{{SOL_TIMESTAMPING}}} can only be enabled using setsockopt.

 * EFI
  * (FEATURED) Add 'capsule' update support. The EFI capsule mechanism allows data blobs to be passed to the EFI firmware. A common use case is performing firmware updates. Users can upload capsule by writting the firmware to the {{{/dev/efi_capsule_loader}}} device [[https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/f0133f3c5b8bb34ec4dec50c27e7a655aeee8935|commit]], [[https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/65117f1aa1b2d145fd5ca376bde642794d0aae1b|commit]]
  * Add EFI Bootloader Control module. If reboot is invoked with a string argument NNN, "NNN" is copied to the "!LoaderEntryOneShot" EFI variable, to be read by the bootloader. If the string matches one of the boot labels defined in its configuration, the bootloader will boot once to that label. The "!LoaderEntryRebootReason" EFI variable is set with the reboot reason: "reboot" or "shutdown". The bootloader reads this reboot reason and takes particular action according to its policy [[https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/06f7d4a1618dbb086e738c93cd1ef416ab01027d|commit]]

 * Thermal
  * Add ACPI INT340X thermal driver. Newer laptops and tablets that use ACPI may have thermal sensors and other devices with thermal control capabilities outside the core CPU/SOC, for thermal safety reasons. They are exposed for the OS to use via the INT3400 ACPI device object as the master, and INT3401~INT340B ACPI device objects as the slaves. This driver exposes the temperature information and cooling ability from these objects to userspace via the normal thermal framework. This means that a wide range of applications and GUI widgets can show the information to the user or use this information for making decisions. For example, the Intel Thermal Daemon can use this information to allow the user to select his laptop to run without turning on the fans [[https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/a3c89334f06bacf7e2f23203ad64cfd6e78dbbf4|commit]]
