Pull ARM SoC driver updates from Arnd Bergmann:
"As usual, the drivers/tee and drivers/reset subsystems get merged
here, with the expected set of smaller updates and some new hardware
support. The tee subsystem now supports device drivers to be attached
to a tee, the first example here is a random number driver with its
implementation in the secure world.
Three new power domain drivers get added for specific chip families:
- Broadcom BCM283x chips (used in Raspberry Pi)
- Qualcomm Snapdragon phone chips
- Xilinx ZynqMP FPGA SoCs
One new driver is added to talk to the BPMP firmware on NVIDIA
Tegra210
Existing drivers are extended for new SoC variants from NXP, NVIDIA,
Amlogic and Qualcomm"

Pull ARM SoC device tree updates from Arnd Bergmann:
"This is a smaller update than the past few times, but with just over
500 non-merge changesets still dwarfes the rest of the SoC tree.
Three new SoC platforms get added, each one a follow-up to an existing
product, and added here in combination with a reference platform:
- Renesas RZ/A2M (R7S9210) 32-bit Cortex-A9 Real-time imaging
processor:

Pull locking updates from Ingo Molnar:
"The biggest part of this tree is the new auto-generated atomics API
wrappers by Mark Rutland.
The primary motivation was to allow instrumentation without uglifying
the primary source code.
The linecount increase comes from adding the auto-generated files to
the Git space as well:
include/asm-generic/atomic-instrumented.h | 1689 ++++++++++++++++--
include/asm-generic/atomic-long.h | 1174 ++++++++++---
include/linux/atomic-fallback.h | 2295 +++++++++++++++++++++++++
include/linux/atomic.h | 1241 +------------
I preferred this approach, so that the full call stack of the (already
complex) locking APIs is still fully visible in 'git grep'.
But if this is excessive we could certainly hide them.
There's a separate build-time mechanism to determine whether the
headers are out of date (they should never be stale if we do our job
right).
Anyway, nothing from this should be visible to regular kernel
developers.

- Add support for dynamic keys, which removes a source of false
positives in the workqueue code, among other things (Bart Van

Skylake (and later) will receive a microcode update to address a TSX
errata. This microcode will, on execution of a TSX instruction
(speculative or not) use (clobber) PMC3. This update will also provide
a new MSR to change this behaviour along with a CPUID bit to enumerate
the presence of this new MSR.
When the MSR gets set; the microcode will no longer use PMC3 but will
Force Abort every TSX transaction (upon executing COMMIT).
When TSX Force Abort (TFA) is allowed (default); the MSR gets set when
PMC3 gets scheduled and cleared when, after scheduling, PMC3 is
unused.
When TFA is not allowed; clear PMC3 from all constraints such that it
will not get used.

The current code doesn't do page migration if the page allocated is a
compound page. With HugeTLB migration support, we can end up allocating
hugetlb pages from CMA region. Also, THP pages can be allocated from
CMA region. This patch updates the code to handle compound pages
correctly. The patch also switches to a single get_user_pages with the
right count, instead of doing one get_user_pages per page. That avoids
reading page table multiple times. This is done by using
get_user_pages_longterm, because that also takes care of DAX backed
pages.
DAX pages lifetime is dictated by file system rules and as such, we need
to make sure that we free these pages on operations like truncate and
punch hole. If we have long term pin on these pages, which are mostly
return to userspace with elevated page count, the entity holding the
long term pin may not be aware of the fact that file got truncated and
the file system blocks possibly got reused. That can result in
corruption.
The patch also converts the hpas member of mm_iommu_table_group_mem_t to
a union. We use the same storage location to store pointers to struct
page. We cannot update all the code path use struct page *, because we
access hpas in real mode and we can't do that struct page * to pfn
conversion in real mode.

In the old days, remap_pfn_range() required pages to be marked as
PG_reserved, so they would e.g. never get swapped out. This was
required for special mappings. Nowadays, this is fully handled via the
VMA (VM_IO | VM_PFNMAP | VM_DONTEXPAND | VM_DONTDUMP inside
remap_pfn_range() to be precise). PG_reserved is no longer required but
only a relic from the past.
So only architecture specific MM handling might require it (e.g. to
detect them as MMIO pages). As there are no architecture specific
checks for PageReserved() apart from MCA handling in ia64code, this can
go. Use simple vzalloc()/vfree() instead.
Note that before calling vzalloc(), size has already been aligned to
PAGE_SIZE, no need to align again.

Patch series "Replace all open encodings for NUMA_NO_NODE", v3.
All these places for replacement were found by running the following
grep patterns on the entire kernel code. Please let me know if this
might have missed some instances. This might also have replaced some
false positives. I will appreciate suggestions, inputs and review.
1. git grep "nid == -1"
2. git grep "node == -1"
3. git grep "nid = -1"
4. git grep "node = -1"
This patch (of 2):
At present there are multiple places where invalid node number is
encoded as -1. Even though implicitly understood it is always better to
have macros in there. Replace these open encodings for an invalid node
number with the global macro NUMA_NO_NODE. This helps remove NUMA
related assumptions like 'invalid node' from various places redirecting
them to a common definition.

Use after scope bugs detector seems to be almost entirely useless for
the linux kernel. It exists over two years, but I've seen only one
valid bug so far [1]. And the bug was fixed before it has been
reported. There were some other use-after-scope reports, but they were
false-positives due to different reasons like incompatibility with
structleak plugin.
This feature significantly increases stack usage, especially with GCC <
9 version, and causes a 32K stack overflow. It probably adds
performance penalty too.
Given all that, let's remove use-after-scope detector entirely.
While preparing this patch I've noticed that we mistakenly enable
use-after-scope detection for clang compiler regardless of
CONFIG_KASAN_EXTRA setting. This is also fixed now.

- Add a new PR_SPEC_DISABLE_NOEXEC option which allows to apply the
speculation protections on a process without inheriting the state
on exec.
This remedies a situation where a Java-launcher has speculation
protections enabled because that's the default for JVMs which
causes the launched regular harmless processes to inherit the
protection state which results in unintended performance
degradation"

We're (finally) phasing out a.out support for good. As Borislav Petkov
points out, we've supported ELF binaries for about 25 years by now, and
coredumping in particular has bitrotted over the years.
None of the tool chains even support generating a.out binaries any more,
and the plan is to deprecate a.out support entirely for the kernel. But
I want to start with just removing the core dumping code, because I can
still imagine that somebody actually might want to support a.out as a
simpler biinary format.
Particularly if you generate some random binaries on the fly, ELF is a
much more complicated format (admittedly ELF also does have a lot of
toolchain support, mitigating that complexity a lot and you really
should have moved over in the last 25 years).
So it's at least somewhat possible that somebody out there has some
workflow that still involves generating and running a.out executables.
In contrast, it's very unlikely that anybody depends on debugging any
legacy a.out core files. But regardless, I want this phase-out to be
done in two steps, so that we can resurrect a.out support (if needed)
without having to resurrect the core file dumping that is almost
certainly not needed.
Jann Horn pointed to the <asm/a.out-core.h> file that my first trivial
cut at this had missed.
And Alan Cox points out that the a.out binary loader _could_ be done in
user space if somebody wants to, but we might keep just the loader in
the kernel if somebody really wants it, since the loader isn't that big
and has no really odd special cases like the core dumping does.

The kill() syscall operates on process identifiers (pid). After a process
has exited its pid can be reused by another process. If a caller sends a
signal to a reused pid it will end up signaling the wrong process. This
issue has often surfaced and there has been a push to address this problem [1].
This patch uses file descriptors (fd) from proc/<pid> as stable handles on
struct pid. Even if a pid is recycled the handle will not change. The fd
can be used to send signals to the process it refers to.
Thus, the new syscall pidfd_send_signal() is introduced to solve this
problem. Instead of pids it operates on process fds (pidfd).
/* prototype and argument /*
long pidfd_send_signal(int pidfd, int sig, siginfo_t *info, unsigned int flags);
/* syscall number 424 */
The syscall number was chosen to be 424 to align with Arnd's rework in his
y2038 to minimize merge conflicts (cf. [25]).
In addition to the pidfd and signal argument it takes an additional
siginfo_t and flags argument. If the siginfo_t argument is NULL then
pidfd_send_signal() is equivalent to kill(<positive-pid>, <signal>). If it
is not NULL pidfd_send_signal() is equivalent to rt_sigqueueinfo().
The flags argument is added to allow for future extensions of this syscall.
It currently needs to be passed as 0. Failing to do so will cause EINVAL.
/* pidfd_send_signal() replaces multiple pid-based syscalls */
The pidfd_send_signal() syscall currently takes on the job of
rt_sigqueueinfo(2) and parts of the functionality of kill(2), Namely, when a
positive pid is passed to kill(2). It will however be possible to also
replace tgkill(2) and rt_tgsigqueueinfo(2) if this syscall is extended.
/* sending signals to threads (tid) and process groups (pgid) */
Specifically, the pidfd_send_signal() syscall does currently not operate on
process groups or threads. This is left for future extensions.
In order to extend the syscall to allow sending signal to threads and
process groups appropriately named flags (e.g. PIDFD_TYPE_PGID, and
PIDFD_TYPE_TID) should be added. This implies that the flags argument will
determine what is signaled and not the file descriptor itself. Put in other
words, grouping in this api is a property of the flags argument not a
property of the file descriptor (cf. [13]). Clarification for this has been
requested by Eric (cf. [19]).
When appropriate extensions through the flags argument are added then
pidfd_send_signal() can additionally replace the part of kill(2) which
operates on process groups as well as the tgkill(2) and
rt_tgsigqueueinfo(2) syscalls.
How such an extension could be implemented has been very roughly sketched
in [14], [15], and [16]. However, this should not be taken as a commitment
to a particular implementation. There might be better ways to do it.
Right now this is intentionally left out to keep this patchset as simple as
possible (cf. [4]).
/* naming */
The syscall had various names throughout iterations of this patchset:
- procfd_signal()
- procfd_send_signal()
- taskfd_send_signal()
In the last round of reviews it was pointed out that given that if the
flags argument decides the scope of the signal instead of different types
of fds it might make sense to either settle for "procfd_" or "pidfd_" as
prefix. The community was willing to accept either (cf. [17] and [18]).
Given that one developer expressed strong preference for the "pidfd_"
prefix (cf. [13]) and with other developers less opinionated about the name
we should settle for "pidfd_" to avoid further bikeshedding.
The "_send_signal" suffix was chosen to reflect the fact that the syscall
takes on the job of multiple syscalls. It is therefore intentional that the
name is not reminiscent of neither kill(2) nor rt_sigqueueinfo(2). Not the
fomer because it might imply that pidfd_send_signal() is a replacement for
kill(2), and not the latter because it is a hassle to remember the correct
spelling - especially for non-native speakers - and because it is not
descriptive enough of what the syscall actually does. The name
"pidfd_send_signal" makes it very clear that its job is to send signals.
/* zombies */
Zombies can be signaled just as any other process. No special error will be
reported since a zombie state is an unreliable state (cf. [3]). However,
this can be added as an extension through the @flags argument if the need
ever arises.
/* cross-namespace signals */
The patch currently enforces that the signaler and signalee either are in
the same pid namespace or that the signaler's pid namespace is an ancestor
of the signalee's pid namespace. This is done for the sake of simplicity
and because it is unclear to what values certain members of struct
siginfo_t would need to be set to (cf. [5], [6]).
/* compat syscalls */
It became clear that we would like to avoid adding compat syscalls
(cf. [7]). The compat syscall handling is now done in kernel/signal.c
itself by adding __copy_siginfo_from_user_generic() which lets us avoid
compat syscalls (cf. [8]). It should be noted that the addition of
__copy_siginfo_from_user_any() is caused by a bug in the original
implementation of rt_sigqueueinfo(2) (cf. 12).
With upcoming rework for syscall handling things might improve
significantly (cf. [11]) and __copy_siginfo_from_user_any() will not gain
any additional callers.
/* testing */
This patch was tested on x64 and x86.
/* userspace usage */

Q-01: (Florian Weimer [20], Andrew Morton [21])
What happens when the target process has exited?
A-01: Sending the signal will fail with ESRCH (cf. [22]).
Q-02: (Andrew Morton [21])
Is the task_struct pinned by the fd?
A-02: No. A reference to struct pid is kept. struct pid - as far as I
understand - was created exactly for the reason to not require to
pin struct task_struct (cf. [22]).
Q-03: (Andrew Morton [21])
Does the entire procfs directory remain visible? Just one entry
within it?
A-03: The same thing that happens right now when you hold a file descriptor
to /proc/<pid> open (cf. [22]).
Q-04: (Andrew Morton [21])
Does the pid remain reserved?
A-04: No. This patchset guarantees a stable handle not that pids are not
recycled (cf. [22]).
Q-05: (Andrew Morton [21])
Do attempts to signal that fd return errors?
A-05: See {Q,A}-01.
Q-06: (Andrew Morton [22])
Is there a cleaner way of obtaining the fd? Another syscall perhaps.
A-06: Userspace can already trivially retrieve file descriptors from procfs
so this is something that we will need to support anyway. Hence,
there's no immediate need to add another syscalls just to make
pidfd_send_signal() not dependent on the presence of procfs. However,
adding a syscalls to get such file descriptors is planned for a
future patchset (cf. [22]).
Q-07: (Andrew Morton [21] and others)
This fd-for-a-process sounds like a handy thing and people may well
think up other uses for it in the future, probably unrelated to
signals. Are the code and the interface designed to permit such
future applications?
A-07: Yes (cf. [22]).
Q-08: (Andrew Morton [21] and others)
Now I think about it, why a new syscall? This thing is looking
rather like an ioctl?
A-08: This has been extensively discussed. It was agreed that a syscall is
preferred for a variety or reasons. Here are just a few taken from
prior threads. Syscalls are safer than ioctl()s especially when
signaling to fds. Processes are a core kernel concept so a syscall
seems more appropriate. The layout of the syscall with its four
arguments would require the addition of a custom struct for the
ioctl() thereby causing at least the same amount or even more
complexity for userspace than a simple syscall. The new syscall will
replace multiple other pid-based syscalls (see description above).
The file-descriptors-for-processes concept introduced with this
syscall will be extended with other syscalls in the future. See also
[22], [23] and various other threads already linked in here.
Q-09: (Florian Weimer [24])
What happens if you use the new interface with an O_PATH descriptor?
A-09:
pidfds opened as O_PATH fds cannot be used to send signals to a
process (cf. [2]). Signaling processes through pidfds is the
equivalent of writing to a file. Thus, this is not an operation that
operates "purely at the file descriptor level" as required by the
open(2) manpage. See also [4].

Arnd reported the following compiler warning:
arch/x86/kernel/ftrace.c:669:23: error: 'ftrace_jmp_replace' defined but not used [-Werror=unused-function]
The ftrace_jmp_replace() function now only has a single user and should be
simply moved by that user. But looking at the code, it shows that
ftrace_jmp_replace() is similar to ftrace_call_replace() except that instead
of using the opcode of 0xe8 it uses 0xe9. It makes more sense to consolidate
that function into one implementation that both ftrace_jmp_replace() and
ftrace_call_replace() use by passing in the op code separate.
The structure in ftrace_code_union is also modified to replace the "e8"
field with the more appropriate name "op".

The legacy hypercall handlers were originally added with
a comment explaining that "copying the argument structures in
HYPERVISOR_event_channel_op() and HYPERVISOR_physdev_op() into the local
variable is sufficiently safe" and only made sure to not write
past the end of the argument structure, the checks in linux/string.h
disagree with that, when link-time optimizations are used:
In function 'memcpy',
inlined from 'pirq_query_unmask' at drivers/xen/fallback.c:53:2,
inlined from '__startup_pirq' at drivers/xen/events/events_base.c:529:2,
inlined from 'restore_pirqs' at drivers/xen/events/events_base.c:1439:3,
inlined from 'xen_irq_resume' at drivers/xen/events/events_base.c:1581:2:
include/linux/string.h:350:3: error: call to '__read_overflow2' declared with attribute error: detected read beyond size of object passed as 2nd parameter
__read_overflow2();
^
Further research turned out that only Xen 3.0.2 or earlier required the
fallback at all, while all versions in use today don't need it.
As far as I can tell, it is not even possible to run a mainline kernel
on those old Xen releases, at the time when they were in use, only
a patched kernel was supported anyway.

We added runtime allocation of 16G pages in commit 4ae279c2c9
("powerpc/mm/hugetlb: Allow runtime allocation of 16G.") That was done
to enable 16G allocation on PowerNV and KVM config. In case of KVM
config, we mostly would have the entire guest RAM backed by 16G
hugetlb pages for this to work. PAPR do support partial backing of
guest RAM with hugepages via ibm,expected#pages node of memory node in
the device tree. This means rest of the guest RAM won't be backed by
16G contiguous pages in the host and hence a hash page table insertion
can fail in such case.
An example error message will look like
hash-mmu: mm: Hashing failure ! EA=0x7efc00000000 access=0x8000000000000006 current=readback
hash-mmu: trap=0x300 vsid=0x67af789 ssize=1 base psize=14 psize 14 pte=0xc000000400000386
readback[12260]: unhandled signal 7 at 00007efc00000000 nip 00000000100012d0 lr 000000001000127c code 2
This patch address that by preventing runtime allocation of 16G
hugepages in LPAR config. To allocate 16G hugetlb one need to kernel
command line hugepagesz=16G hugepages=<number of 16G pages>
With radix translation mode we don't run into this issue.
This change will prevent runtime allocation of 16G hugetlb pages on
kvm with hash translation mode. However, with the current upstream it
was observed that 16G hugetlbfs backed guest doesn't boot at all.
We observe boot failure with the below message:
[131354.647546] KVM: map_vrma at 0 failed, ret=-4
That means this patch is not resulting in an observable regression.
Once we fix the boot issue with 16G hugetlb backed memory, we need to
use ibm,expected#pages memory node attribute to indicate 16G page
reservation to the guest. This will also enable partial backing of
guest RAM with 16G pages.
