== Support for using Transparent Huge Pages in the page cache ==

Huge pages allow to use pages bigger than 4K (in x86), when the system makes use of those pages automatically without user intervention we call it "transparent". Until now, Linux didn't support the use of transparent huge pages in the page cache (this is the cache of pages used for backing file system data). This release adds support for transparent huge pages in the page cache in tmpfs/shmem (other filesystems may be added in the future).

You can control hugepage allocation policy in tmpfs with mount option {{{huge=}}}. It can have following values: {{{always}}} (attempt to allocate huge pages every time it needs a new page); {{{never}}} (do not allocate huge pages - this is the default); {{{within_size}}} (only allocate huge page if it will be fully within {{{i_size}}}, also respect {{{fadvise()/madvise()}}} hints); {{{advise}}} (only allocate huge pages if requested with {{{fadvise()/madvise()}}});

There's also sysfs knob to control hugepage allocation policy for internal shmem mount: {{{/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/shmem_enabled}}}. The mount is used for SysV SHM, memfds, shared anonymous mmaps (of {{{/dev/zero}}} or {{{MAP_ANONYMOUS}}}), GPU drivers' DRM objects, Ashmem. In addition to policies listed above, shmem_enabled allows two further values: {{{deny}}} (for use in emergencies, to force the huge option off from all mounts); {{{force}}} (force the huge option on for all - useful for testing).

== Support for eXpress Data Path ==

XDP or eXpress Data Path provides a high performance, programmable network data path in the Linux kernel. XDP provides bare metal packet processing at the lowest point in the software stack. Much of the huge speed gain comes from processing RX packet-pages directly out of drivers RX ring queue, before any allocations of meta-data structures like SKBs occurs. Its properties are:
 * XDP is designed for high performance. It uses known techniques and applies selective constraints to achieve performance goals.
 * XDP is also designed for programmability. New functionality can be implemented on the fly without needing kernel modification
 * XDP is not kernel bypass. It is an integrated fast path in the kernel stack
 * XDP does not replace the TCP/IP stack. It augments the stack and works in concert
 * XDP does not require any specialized hardware. It espouses the less is more principle for networking hardware

Use cases include pre-stack processing like filtering to do DOS mitigation; forwarding and load balancing; batching techniques such as in Generic Receive Offload; flow sampling, monitoring; ULP processing (e.g. message delineation).

== XFS reverse mapping ==

Reverse mapping allows XFS to track the owner of a specific block on disk precisely. It is implemented as a set of btrees (one per allocation group) that track the owners of allocated extents. Effectively it is a "used space tree" that is updated when the file system allocates or free extents.  i.e. it is coherent with the free space btrees that are already maintained and never overlaps with them.
    
This reverse mapping infrastructure is the building block of several upcoming features - reflink, copy-on-write data, dedupe, online metadata and data scrubbing, highly accurate bad sector/data loss reporting to users, and significantly improved reconstruction of damaged and corrupted filesystems. There's a lot of new stuff coming along in the next couple of cycles, and it all builds in the rmap infrastructure.  As such, it's a huge chunk of new code with new on-disk format features and internal infrastructure.  It warns at mount time as an experimental feature and that it may eat data (as XFS does with all new on-disk features until they stabilise). XFS maintainers have not released userspace suport for it yet - userspace support currently requires download from Darrick's xfsprogs repo and build from source, so the access to this feature is really developer/tester only at this point. Initial userspace support will be released at the same time kernel with this code in it is released.

== Stricter checking of memory copies with hardened usercopy ==

This is a security feature ported from [[https://grsecurity.net/features.php#usercopy|Grsecurity's PAX_USERCOPY]]. It checks for obviously wrong memory regions when copying memory to/from the kernel (via {{{copy_to_user()}}} and {{{copy_from_user()}}} functions) by rejecting memory ranges that are larger than the specified heap object, span multiple separately allocates pages, are not on the process stack, or are part of the kernel text. This kills entire classes of heap overflow exploits and similar kernel memory exposures. Performance impact is negligible.

== GCC plugin support ==

Like this previous one, this is a feature ported from [[https://grsecurity.net/features.php#tabs-gcc|Grsecurity]]. It enables the use of [[https://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/plugins|GCC plugins]], which are loadable compiler modules that can be used for runtime instrumentation and static analysis, allowing to analyse, change and add further code during compilation. Grsecurity uses these mechanisms to improve security. Two plugins are included in this release: sancov, a plugin used as a helper for the [[https://kernelnewbies.org/Linux_4.6#head-efb0246a2466d8855fad5394360a41f06028bab5|kcov]] feature; and the Cyclomatic complexity plugin, which calculates the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclomatic_complexity|cyclomatic complexity]] of a function.

== virtio-vsocks for easier guest/host communication ==

This release adds virtio-vsock, which provides AF_VSOCK sockets that allow applications in the guest and host to communicate. This can be used to implement hypervisor services and guest agents (like qemu-guest-agent or SPICE vdagent). Unlike virtio-serial, virtio-vsock supports the POSIX Sockets API so existing networking applications require minimal modification. The Sockets API allows N:1 connections so multiple clients can connect to a server simultaneously. The device has an address assigned automatically so no configuration is required inside the guest.

== Support IPv6 security labeling (CALIPSO, RFC 5570) ==

This release implements [[https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5570|RFC 5570]] - Common Architecture Label IPv6 Security Option (CALIPSO). Its goal is to set Multi-Level Secure (MLS) sensitivity labels on IPv6 packets using a hop-by-hop option. It is intended for use only within MLS networking environments that are both trusted and trustworthy. CALIPSO is very similar to its IPv4 cousin CIPSO and much of this feature is based on that code. To use CALIPSO you'll need some patches to netlabel-tools that are available on the 'working-calipso-v3' branch at: https://github.com/netlabel/netlabel_tools.

== Add New Vegas TCP congestion control ==

This release adds a new congestion control, TCP New Vegas is a major update to TCP-Vegas. Like Vegas, NV is a delay based congestion avoidance mechanism for TCP. Its filtering mechanism is similar: it uses the best measurement in a particular period to detect and measure congestion. It develop to coexist with modern networks where links bandwidths are 10 Gbps or higher, where the RTTs can be 10’s of microseconds, where interrupt coalescence and TSO/GSO can introduce noise and nonlinear effects, etc.

A description of TCP-NV, including implementation details as well as experimental results, can be found at http://www.brakmo.org/networking/tcp-nv/

 * RCU locking: add sysctl {{{kernel.panic_on_rcu_stall}}}. If set to 1, the system will panic() when an RCU stall takes place, enabling the capture of a vmcore. The vmcore provides a way to analyze all kernel/tasks states, helping out to point to the culprit and the solution for the stall [[https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/088e9d253d3a4ab7e058dd84bb532c32dadf1882|commit]]
 * binfmt_misc: Add a new flag 'F' to the binfmt handlers. If you pass in 'F' the binary that runs the emulation will be opened immediately and in future, will be cloned from the open file.

= Tracing and perf tool =

 * Add per event callchain limit: Recently we introduced a sysctl ({{{kernel.perf_event_max_stack}}}) to tune the max-stack for all events for which callchains were requested. This release introduces a way to set maximum stack limits per event. i.e. this becomes possible: {{{$ perf record -e sched:*/max-stack=2/ -e block:*/max-stack=10/ -a}}}, allowing finer tuning of how much buffer space callchains use [[https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/97c79a38cd454602645f0470ffb444b3b75ce574|commit]], [[https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/792d48b4cf9c248ab2bf66c140a27c48e116bed7|commit]]
 * perf stat: Add support for TopDown. This implements a new {{{--topdown}}} mode in perf stat (similar to {{{--transaction}}}) that measures the pipe line bottlenecks. It is intended to replace the frontend cycles idle/backend cycles idle metrics in standard perf stat output. These metrics are not reliable in many workloads, due to out of order effects. The current version works on Intel Core CPUs starting with Sandy Bridge, and Atom CPUs starting with Silvermont [[https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/44b1e60ab576c343aa592a2a6c679297cc69740d|commit]], [[https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/239bd47f8355eb5defc865cf408824b6cfeca5dc|commit]], [[https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/41c8ca2a924b359e8f1768f8550487cd13a1ec03|commit]], [[https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/c51fd6395d67a6d414834db7f892c95594247d6f|commit]]
 * Support cross-architecture unwinding, i.e.  collecting {{{--call-graph dwarf}}} perf.data files in one machine and then doing analysis in another machine of a different hardware architecture [[https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/057fbfb25cde4a368418f3f720cdc31d48800c4d|commit]], [[https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/52ffe0ff02fc053a025c381d5808e9ecd3206dfe|commit]]
 * Finish merging initial SDT (Statically Defined Traces) support. Several funcionality is added: {{{perf probe --list}}} shows all cached probes when {{{--cache}}} is given, {{{perf probe --del}}} removes caches when {{{--cache}}} is given, {{{perf buildid-cache --add <binary>}}} scans given binary and add the SDT events to probe cache. "sdt_" prefix is appended for all SDT providers to avoid event-name clash with other pre-defined events. It is possible to use the cached SDT events as other cached events, via {{{perf probe --add "sdt_<provider>:<event>=<event>"}}}. To improve usability, support {{{%[PROVIDER:]SDTEVENT}}} format to add new probes on SDT and cached events. Glob wildcard is allowed for reusing cached/SDT events. E.g. {{{perf probe -x /usr/lib64/libc-2.20.so -a %sdt_libc:\*}}}. Support {{{@BUILDID}}} or {{{@FILE}}} suffix for SDT events. This allows perf to add probes on SDTs/pre-cached events on given FILE or the file which has given BUILDID (also, this complements BUILDID) [[https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/bc0622302f344551050995491b7d14176f39c628|commit]], [[https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/1f3736c9c833e40ac4d3a8dc6d661e341df8a259|commit]], [[https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/4a0f65c102ec3a718b4a0b90981232b6cb019477|commit]], [[https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/8d993d96901f55d26e083390aae80fd02cbff7aa|commit]], [[https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/6430a94ead2a4c8f350441351a735303eb6d1c8a|commit]], [[https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/36a009fe07bdecd201335f982babb8af34b603e2|commit]], [[https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/c3492a3a4e58117f18d96125e67b0bed7c4231e1|commit]], [[https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/05bf2c8a2a819132b4a8f35d4315ff22e8e84a20|commit]], [[https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/42bba263eb58800b6239a0cb35ac17fd29379277|commit]], [[https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/1de7b8bf728fd8d51b0cc644003d0694c6e0feef|commit]], [[https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/a598180aa1279bac4d24dfc85cd2d78553c4210d|commit]], [[https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/7e9fca51fbf8430e27fb6b29299eda575e3f00cf|commit]], [[https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/e26e63be64a108c1fd12020b93b5b447ffe0532b|commit]], [[https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/8e5dc848356ecf6ea8d27d641c4d7ad8d42fe92b|commit]], [[https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/2fd457a34525ea3bc609e377b46af759af8a7934|commit]], [[https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/060fa0c7a3e0bb4f1426ee79dfd38e2a4c80067a|commit]]

 * Attach sw fences to exported vGEM dma-buf (ioctl). By allowing the user to create and attach fences to the exported vGEM buffers (on the dma-buf), the user can implement a deferred renderer and queue hardware operations like flipping and then signal the buffer readiness (i.e. this allows the user to schedule operations out-of-order, but have them complete in-order). This also makes it much easier to write tightly controlled testcases for dma-buf fencing and signaling between hardware drivers [[https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/4077798484459a2eced2050045099a466ecb618a|commit]]
