6f6aea7e96 parisc: fix PMD pages allocation by restoring pmd_alloc_one()
Commit 1355c31eeb ("asm-generic: pgalloc: provide generic pmd_alloc_one()
and pmd_free_one()") converted parisc to use generic version of
pmd_alloc_one() but it missed the fact that parisc uses order-1 pages for
PMD.

Restore the original version of pmd_alloc_one() for parisc, just use
GFP_PGTABLE_KERNEL that implies __GFP_ZERO instead of GFP_KERNEL and
memset.

8f28ca6bd8 iomap: constify ioreadX() iomem argument (as in generic implementation)
Patch series "iomap: Constify ioreadX() iomem argument", v3.

The ioread8/16/32() and others have inconsistent interface among the
architectures: some taking address as const, some not.

It seems there is nothing really stopping all of them to take pointer to
const.

This patch (of 4):

The ioreadX() and ioreadX_rep() helpers have inconsistent interface.  On
some architectures void *__iomem address argument is a pointer to const,
on some not.

Implementations of ioreadX() do not modify the memory under the address so
they can be converted to a "const" version for const-safety and
consistency among architectures.

88db0aa242 all arch: remove system call sys_sysctl
Since commit 61a47c1ad3 ("sysctl: Remove the sysctl system call"),
sys_sysctl is actually unavailable: any input can only return an error.

We have been warning about people using the sysctl system call for years
and believe there are no more users.  Even if there are users of this
interface if they have not complained or fixed their code by now they
probably are not going to, so there is no point in warning them any
longer.

So completely remove sys_sysctl on all architectures.

 - Sven Schnelle fixed a bug in the SBA code to prevent crashes during
   kexec

 - John David Anglin provided implementations for __smp_store_release()
   and __smp_load_acquire barriers() which avoids using the sync
   assembler instruction and thus speeds up barrier paths

 - Some whitespace cleanups in parisc's atomic.h header file

af8a792627 mm/parisc: use general page fault accounting
Use the general page fault accounting by passing regs into
handle_mm_fault().  It naturally solve the issue of multiple page fault
accounting when page fault retry happened.

Add the missing PERF_COUNT_SW_PAGE_FAULTS perf events too.  Note, the
other two perf events (PERF_COUNT_SW_PAGE_FAULTS_[MAJ|MIN]) were done in
handle_mm_fault().

bce617edec mm: do page fault accounting in handle_mm_fault
Patch series "mm: Page fault accounting cleanups", v5.

This is v5 of the pf accounting cleanup series.  It originates from Gerald
Schaefer's report on an issue a week ago regarding to incorrect page fault
accountings for retried page fault after commit 4064b98270 ("mm: allow
VM_FAULT_RETRY for multiple times"):

  https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200610174811.44b94525@thinkpad/

What this series did:

  - Correct page fault accounting: we do accounting for a page fault
    (no matter whether it's from #PF handling, or gup, or anything else)
    only with the one that completed the fault.  For example, page fault
    retries should not be counted in page fault counters.  Same to the
    perf events.

  - Unify definition of PERF_COUNT_SW_PAGE_FAULTS: currently this perf
    event is used in an adhoc way across different archs.

    Case (1): for many archs it's done at the entry of a page fault
    handler, so that it will also cover e.g.  errornous faults.

    Case (2): for some other archs, it is only accounted when the page
    fault is resolved successfully.

    Case (3): there're still quite some archs that have not enabled
    this perf event.

    Since this series will touch merely all the archs, we unify this
    perf event to always follow case (1), which is the one that makes most
    sense.  And since we moved the accounting into handle_mm_fault, the
    other two MAJ/MIN perf events are well taken care of naturally.

  - Unify definition of "major faults": the definition of "major
    fault" is slightly changed when used in accounting (not
    VM_FAULT_MAJOR).  More information in patch 1.

  - Always account the page fault onto the one that triggered the page
    fault.  This does not matter much for #PF handlings, but mostly for
    gup.  More information on this in patch 25.

Patchset layout:

Patch 1:     Introduced the accounting in handle_mm_fault(), not enabled.
Patch 2-23:  Enable the new accounting for arch #PF handlers one by one.
Patch 24:    Enable the new accounting for the rest outliers (gup, iommu, etc.)
Patch 25:    Cleanup GUP task_struct pointer since it's not needed any more

This patch (of 25):

This is a preparation patch to move page fault accountings into the
general code in handle_mm_fault().  This includes both the per task
flt_maj/flt_min counters, and the major/minor page fault perf events.  To
do this, the pt_regs pointer is passed into handle_mm_fault().

PERF_COUNT_SW_PAGE_FAULTS should still be kept in per-arch page fault
handlers.

So far, all the pt_regs pointer that passed into handle_mm_fault() is
NULL, which means this patch should have no intented functional change.

97d052ea3f A set of locking fixes and updates:
- Untangle the header spaghetti which causes build failures in various

     the write side critical sections are non-preemptible.
 
   - The seqcount associated lock debug addons which were blocked by the

     This new debug mechanism adds the concept of associated locks.
     sequence count has now lock type variants and corresponding

     writer serialization. If lockdep is enabled the pointer is stored and
     write_seqcount_begin() has a lockdep assertion to validate that the

     Aside of the type and the initializer no other code changes are

Pull regset conversion fix from Al Viro:
 "Fix a regression from an unnoticed bisect hazard in the regset series.

  A bunch of old (aout, originally) primitives used by coredumps became
  dead code after fdpic conversion to regsets. Removal of that dead code
  had been the first commit in the followups to regset series;
  unfortunately, it happened to hide the bisect hazard on sh (extern for
  fpregs_get() had not been updated in the main series when it should
  have been; followup simply made fpregs_get() static). And without that
  followup commit this bisect hazard became breakage in the mainline"

c89ab04feb mm/sparse: cleanup the code surrounding memory_present()
After removal of CONFIG_HAVE_MEMBLOCK_NODE_MAP we have two equivalent
functions that call memory_present() for each region in memblock.memory:
sparse_memory_present_with_active_regions() and membocks_present().

Moreover, all architectures have a call to either of these functions
preceding the call to sparse_init() and in the most cases they are called
one after the other.

Mark the regions from memblock.memory as present during sparce_init() by
making sparse_init() call memblocks_present(), make memblocks_present()
and memory_present() functions static and remove redundant
sparse_memory_present_with_active_regions() function.

Also remove no longer required HAVE_MEMORY_PRESENT configuration option.

1355c31eeb asm-generic: pgalloc: provide generic pmd_alloc_one() and pmd_free_one()
For most architectures that support >2 levels of page tables,
pmd_alloc_one() is a wrapper for __get_free_pages(), sometimes with
__GFP_ZERO and sometimes followed by memset(0) instead.

More elaborate versions on arm64 and x86 account memory for the user page
tables and call to pgtable_pmd_page_ctor() as the part of PMD page
initialization.

Move the arm64 version to include/asm-generic/pgalloc.h and use the
generic version on several architectures.

The pgtable_pmd_page_ctor() is a NOP when ARCH_ENABLE_SPLIT_PMD_PTLOCK is
not enabled, so there is no functional change for most architectures
except of the addition of __GFP_ACCOUNT for allocation of user page
tables.

The pmd_free() is a wrapper for free_page() in all the cases, so no
functional change here.

ca15ca406f mm: remove unneeded includes of <asm/pgalloc.h>
Patch series "mm: cleanup usage of <asm/pgalloc.h>"

Most architectures have very similar versions of pXd_alloc_one() and
pXd_free_one() for intermediate levels of page table.  These patches add
generic versions of these functions in <asm-generic/pgalloc.h> and enable
use of the generic functions where appropriate.

In addition, functions declared and defined in <asm/pgalloc.h> headers are
used mostly by core mm and early mm initialization in arch and there is no
actual reason to have the <asm/pgalloc.h> included all over the place.
The first patch in this series removes unneeded includes of
<asm/pgalloc.h>

In the end it didn't work out as neatly as I hoped and moving
pXd_alloc_track() definitions to <asm-generic/pgalloc.h> would require
unnecessary changes to arches that have custom page table allocations, so
I've decided to move lib/ioremap.c to mm/ and make pgalloc-track.h local
to mm/.

This patch (of 8):

In most cases <asm/pgalloc.h> header is required only for allocations of
page table memory.  Most of the .c files that include that header do not
use symbols declared in <asm/pgalloc.h> and do not require that header.

As for the other header files that used to include <asm/pgalloc.h>, it is
possible to move that include into the .c file that actually uses symbols
from <asm/pgalloc.h> and drop the include from the header file.

The process was somewhat automated using

	sed -i -E '/[<"]asm\/pgalloc\.h/d' \
                $(grep -L -w -f /tmp/xx \
                        $(git grep -E -l '[<"]asm/pgalloc\.h'))

where /tmp/xx contains all the symbols defined in
arch/*/include/asm/pgalloc.h.

Pull close_range() implementation from Christian Brauner:
 "This adds the close_range() syscall. It allows to efficiently close a
  range of file descriptors up to all file descriptors of a calling
  task.

  This is coordinated with the FreeBSD folks which have copied our
  version of this syscall and in the meantime have already merged it in
  April 2019:

    https://reviews.freebsd.org/D21627
    https://svnweb.freebsd.org/base?view=revision&revision=359836

  The syscall originally came up in a discussion around the new mount
  API and making new file descriptor types cloexec by default. During
  this discussion, Al suggested the close_range() syscall.

  First, it helps to close all file descriptors of an exec()ing task.
  This can be done safely via (quoting Al's example from [1] verbatim):

        /* that exec is sensitive */
        unshare(CLONE_FILES);
        /* we don't want anything past stderr here */
        close_range(3, ~0U);
        execve(....);

  The code snippet above is one way of working around the problem that
  file descriptors are not cloexec by default. This is aggravated by the
  fact that we can't just switch them over without massively regressing
  userspace. For a whole class of programs having an in-kernel method of
  closing all file descriptors is very helpful (e.g. demons, service
  managers, programming language standard libraries, container managers
  etc.).

  Second, it allows userspace to avoid implementing closing all file
  descriptors by parsing through /proc/<pid>/fd/* and calling close() on
  each file descriptor and other hacks. From looking at various
  large(ish) userspace code bases this or similar patterns are very
  common in service managers, container runtimes, and programming
  language runtimes/standard libraries such as Python or Rust.

  In addition, the syscall will also work for tasks that do not have
  procfs mounted and on kernels that do not have procfs support compiled
  in. In such situations the only way to make sure that all file
  descriptors are closed is to call close() on each file descriptor up
  to UINT_MAX or RLIMIT_NOFILE, OPEN_MAX trickery.

  Based on Linus' suggestion close_range() also comes with a new flag
  CLOSE_RANGE_UNSHARE to more elegantly handle file descriptor dropping
  right before exec. This would usually be expressed in the sequence:

        unshare(CLONE_FILES);
        close_range(3, ~0U);

  as pointed out by Linus it might be desirable to have this be a part
  of close_range() itself under a new flag CLOSE_RANGE_UNSHARE which
  gets especially handy when we're closing all file descriptors above a
  certain threshold.

  Test-suite as always included"

Merge tag 'fork-v5.9' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/brauner/linux

Pull fork cleanups from Christian Brauner:
 "This is cleanup series from when we reworked a chunk of the process
  creation paths in the kernel and switched to struct
  {kernel_}clone_args.

  High-level this does two main things:

   - Remove the double export of both do_fork() and _do_fork() where
     do_fork() used the incosistent legacy clone calling convention.

     Now we only export _do_fork() which is based on struct
     kernel_clone_args.

   - Remove the copy_thread_tls()/copy_thread() split making the
     architecture specific HAVE_COYP_THREAD_TLS config option obsolete.

  This switches all remaining architectures to select
  HAVE_COPY_THREAD_TLS and thus to the copy_thread_tls() calling
  convention. The current split makes the process creation codepaths
  more convoluted than they need to be. Each architecture has their own
  copy_thread() function unless it selects HAVE_COPY_THREAD_TLS then it
  has a copy_thread_tls() function.

  The split is not needed anymore nowadays, all architectures support
  CLONE_SETTLS but quite a few of them never bothered to select
  HAVE_COPY_THREAD_TLS and instead simply continued to use copy_thread()
  and use the old calling convention. Removing this split cleans up the
  process creation codepaths and paves the way for implementing clone3()
  on such architectures since it requires the copy_thread_tls() calling
  convention.

  After having made each architectures support copy_thread_tls() this
  series simply renames that function back to copy_thread(). It also
  switches all architectures that call do_fork() directly over to
  _do_fork() and the struct kernel_clone_args calling convention. This
  is a corollary of switching the architectures that did not yet support
  it over to copy_thread_tls() since do_fork() is conditional on not
  supporting copy_thread_tls() (Mostly because it lacks a separate
  argument for tls which is trivial to fix but there's no need for this
  function to exist.).

  The do_fork() removal is in itself already useful as it allows to to
  remove the export of both do_fork() and _do_fork() we currently have
  in favor of only _do_fork(). This has already been discussed back when
  we added clone3(). The legacy clone() calling convention is - as is
  probably well-known - somewhat odd:

    #
    # ABI hall of shame
    #
    config CLONE_BACKWARDS
    config CLONE_BACKWARDS2
    config CLONE_BACKWARDS3

  that is aggravated by the fact that some architectures such as sparc
  follow the CLONE_BACKWARDSx calling convention but don't really select
  the corresponding config option since they call do_fork() directly.

  So do_fork() enforces a somewhat arbitrary calling convention in the
  first place that doesn't really help the individual architectures that
  deviate from it. They can thus simply be switched to _do_fork()
  enforcing a single calling convention. (I really hope that any new
  architectures will __not__ try to implement their own calling
  conventions...)

  Most architectures already have made a similar switch (m68k comes to
  mind).

  Overall this removes more code than it adds even with a good portion
  of added comments. It simplifies a chunk of arch specific assembly
  either by moving the code into C or by simply rewriting the assembly.

  Architectures that have been touched in non-trivial ways have all been
  actually boot and stress tested: sparc and ia64 have been tested with
  Debian 9 images. They are the two architectures which have been
  touched the most. All non-trivial changes to architectures have seen
  acks from the relevant maintainers. nios2 with a custom built
  buildroot image. h8300 I couldn't get something bootable to test on
  but the changes have been fairly automatic and I'm sure we'll hear
  people yell if I broke something there.

  All other architectures that have been touched in trivial ways have
  been compile tested for each single patch of the series via git rebase
  -x "make ..." v5.8-rc2. arm{64} and x86{_64} have been boot tested
  even though they have just been trivially touched (removal of the
  HAVE_COPY_THREAD_TLS macro from their Kconfig) because well they are
  basically "core architectures" and since it is trivial to get your
  hands on a useable image"

The code was stuck in this loop in d_alloc_parallel:

This is the inner loop of bit_spin_lock which is called by hlist_bl_unlock in
d_alloc_parallel:

static inline void bit_spin_lock(int bitnum, unsigned long *addr)
{
        /*
         * Assuming the lock is uncontended, this never enters
         * the body of the outer loop. If it is contended, then
         * within the inner loop a non-atomic test is used to
         * busywait with less bus contention for a good time to
         * attempt to acquire the lock bit.
         */
        preempt_disable();
#if defined(CONFIG_SMP) || defined(CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK)
        while (unlikely(test_and_set_bit_lock(bitnum, addr))) {
                preempt_enable();
                do {
                        cpu_relax();
                } while (test_bit(bitnum, addr));
                preempt_disable();
        }
#endif
        __acquire(bitlock);
}

After consideration, I realized that we must be losing bit unlocks.
Then, I noticed that we missed defining atomic64_set_release().
Adding this define fixes the stalls in bit operations.

0c389d89ab maccess: make get_kernel_nofault() check for minimal type compatibility
Now that we've renamed probe_kernel_address() to get_kernel_nofault()
and made it look and behave more in line with get_user(), some of the
subtle type behavior differences end up being more obvious and possibly
dangerous.

When you do

        get_user(val, user_ptr);

the type of the access comes from the "user_ptr" part, and the above
basically acts as

        val = *user_ptr;

by design (except, of course, for the fact that the actual dereference
is done with a user access).

Note how in the above case, the type of the end result comes from the
pointer argument, and then the value is cast to the type of 'val' as
part of the assignment.

So the type of the pointer is ultimately the more important type both
for the access itself.

But 'get_kernel_nofault()' may now _look_ similar, but it behaves very
differently.  When you do

        get_kernel_nofault(val, kernel_ptr);

it behaves like

        val = *(typeof(val) *)kernel_ptr;

except, of course, for the fact that the actual dereference is done with
exception handling so that a faulting access is suppressed and returned
as the error code.

But note how different the casting behavior of the two superficially
similar accesses are: one does the actual access in the size of the type
the pointer points to, while the other does the access in the size of
the target, and ignores the pointer type entirely.

Actually changing get_kernel_nofault() to act like get_user() is almost
certainly the right thing to do eventually, but in the meantime this
patch adds logit to at least verify that the pointer type is compatible
with the type of the result.

In many cases, this involves just casting the pointer to 'void *' to
make it obvious that the type of the pointer is not the important part.
It's not how 'get_user()' acts, but at least the behavioral difference
is now obvious and explicit.

25f12ae45f maccess: rename probe_kernel_address to get_kernel_nofault
Better describe what this helper does, and match the naming of
copy_from_kernel_nofault.

Also switch the argument order around, so that it acts and looks
like get_user().
