<id>urn:sha1:35c57fc3f8eac81b38664a0fe160e267b908d8b8</id>
<content type='text'>
kunit tests that do not support module build should depend
on KUNIT=y rather than just KUNIT in Kconfig, otherwise
they will trigger compilation errors for "make allmodconfig"
builds.

Fixes: 9fe124bf1b77 ("kunit: allow kunit to be loaded as a module")

The pm_qos family of APIs are used in relatively difficult to reproduce
scenarios such as thermal throttling so they benefit from unit testing.

Start by adding basic tests from the the freq_qos APIs. It includes
tests for issues that were brought up on mailing lists:

Pull driver core/kobject updates from Greg KH:
 "Here is the "big" set of driver core patches for 5.2-rc1

  There are a number of ACPI patches in here as well, as Rafael said
  they should go through this tree due to the driver core changes they
  required. They have all been acked by the ACPI developers.

  There are also a number of small subsystem-specific changes in here,
  due to some changes to the kobject core code. Those too have all been
  acked by the various subsystem maintainers.

  As for content, it's pretty boring outside of the ACPI changes:
   - spdx cleanups
   - kobject documentation updates
   - default attribute groups for kobjects
   - other minor kobject/driver core fixes

  All have been in linux-next for a while with no reported issues"

<title>node: Add heterogenous memory access attributes</title>
<updated>2019-04-04T16:41:21Z</updated>
<author>
<name>Keith Busch</name>
<email>keith.busch@intel.com</email>
</author>
<published>2019-03-11T20:56:01Z</published>
<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.stealer.net/cgit.cgi/user/sven/linux.git/commit/?id=e1cf33aafb8462c7d0a0e6349925870316f040ee'/>
<id>urn:sha1:e1cf33aafb8462c7d0a0e6349925870316f040ee</id>
<content type='text'>
Heterogeneous memory systems provide memory nodes with different latency
and bandwidth performance attributes. Provide a new kernel interface
for subsystems to register the attributes under the memory target
node's initiator access class. If the system provides this information,
applications may query these attributes when deciding which node to
request memory.

The following example shows the new sysfs hierarchy for a node exporting
performance attributes:

  # tree -P "read*|write*"/sys/devices/system/node/nodeY/accessZ/initiators/
  /sys/devices/system/node/nodeY/accessZ/initiators/
  |-- read_bandwidth
  |-- read_latency
  |-- write_bandwidth
  `-- write_latency

The bandwidth is exported as MB/s and latency is reported in
nanoseconds. The values are taken from the platform as reported by the
manufacturer.

Memory accesses from an initiator node that is not one of the memory's
access "Z" initiator nodes linked in the same directory may observe
different performance than reported here. When a subsystem makes use
of this interface, initiators of a different access number may not have
the same performance relative to initiators in other access numbers, or
omitted from the any access class' initiators.

Descriptions for memory access initiator performance access attributes
are added to sysfs stable documentation.

<title>driver: base: Disable CONFIG_UEVENT_HELPER by default</title>

<id>urn:sha1:1be01d4a57142ded23bdb9e0c8d9369e693b26cc</id>
<content type='text'>
Since commit 7934779a69f1184f ("Driver-Core: disable /sbin/hotplug by
default"), the help text for the /sbin/hotplug fork-bomb says
"This should not be used today [...] creates a high system load, or
[...] out-of-memory situations during bootup".  The rationale for this
was that no recent mainstream system used this anymore (in 2010!).

A few years later, the complete uevent helper support was made optional
in commit 86d56134f1b67d0c ("kobject: Make support for uevent_helper
optional.").  However, if was still left enabled by default, to support
ancient userland.

Time passed by, and nothing should use this anymore, so it can be
disabled by default.

This will make it easier to track and easier to understand
what components and features are part of the FW_LOADER. There
are some components related to firmware which have *nothing* to
do with the FW_LOADER, souch as PREVENT_FIRMWARE_BUILD.
