There are several storage drivers like dm-multipath, iscsi, tcmu-runner,
amd nbd that have userspace components that can run in the IO path. For
example, iscsi and nbd's userspace deamons may need to recreate a socket
and/or send IO on it, and dm-multipath's daemon multipathd may need to
send SG IO or read/write IO to figure out the state of paths and re-set
them up.
In the kernel these drivers have access to GFP_NOIO/GFP_NOFS and the
memalloc_*_save/restore functions to control the allocation behavior,
but for userspace we would end up hitting an allocation that ended up
writing data back to the same device we are trying to allocate for.
The device is then in a state of deadlock, because to execute IO the
device needs to allocate memory, but to allocate memory the memory
layers want execute IO to the device.
Here is an example with nbd using a local userspace daemon that performs
network IO to a remote server. We are using XFS on top of the nbd device,
but it can happen with any FS or other modules layered on top of the nbd
device that can write out data to free memory. Here a nbd daemon helper
thread, msgr-worker-1, is performing a write/sendmsg on a socket to execute
a request. This kicks off a reclaim operation which results in a WRITE to
the nbd device and the nbd thread calling back into the mm layer.

This patch adds a new prctl command that daemons can use after they have
done their initial setup, and before they start to do allocations that
are in the IO path. It sets the PF_MEMALLOC_NOIO and PF_LESS_THROTTLE
flags so both userspace block and FS threads can use it to avoid the
allocation recursion and try to prevent from being throttled while
writing out data to free up memory.

Pull irq updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"The interrupt departement provides:
- A mechanism to shield isolated tasks from managed interrupts:
The affinity of managed interrupts is completely controlled by the
kernel and user space has no influence on them. The reason is that
the automatically assigned affinity correlates to the multi-queue
CPU handling of block devices.
If the generated affinity mask spaws both housekeeping and isolated
CPUs the interrupt could be routed to an isolated CPU which would
then be disturbed by I/O submitted by a housekeeping CPU.
The new mechamism ensures that as long as one housekeeping CPU is
online in the assigned affinity mask the interrupt is routed to a
housekeeping CPU.
If there is no online housekeeping CPU in the affinity mask, then
the interrupt is routed to an isolated CPU to keep the device queue
intact, but unless the isolated CPU submits I/O by itself these
interrupts are not raised.
- A small addon to the device tree irqdomain core code to avoid
duplication in irq chip drivers
- Conversion of the SiFive PLIC to hierarchical domains
- The usual pile of new irq chip drivers: SiFive GPIO, Aspeed SCI,
NXP INTMUX, Meson A1 GPIO

Pull timer updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"The timekeeping and timers departement provides:
- Time namespace support:
If a container migrates from one host to another then it expects
that clocks based on MONOTONIC and BOOTTIME are not subject to
disruption. Due to different boot time and non-suspended runtime
these clocks can differ significantly on two hosts, in the worst
case time goes backwards which is a violation of the POSIX
requirements.
The time namespace addresses this problem. It allows to set offsets
for clock MONOTONIC and BOOTTIME once after creation and before
tasks are associated with the namespace. These offsets are taken
into account by timers and timekeeping including the VDSO.
Offsets for wall clock based clocks (REALTIME/TAI) are not provided
by this mechanism. While in theory possible, the overhead and code
complexity would be immense and not justified by the esoteric
potential use cases which were discussed at Plumbers '18.
The overhead for tasks in the root namespace (ie where host time
offsets = 0) is in the noise and great effort was made to ensure
that especially in the VDSO. If time namespace is disabled in the
kernel configuration the code is compiled out.
Kudos to Andrei Vagin and Dmitry Sofanov who implemented this
feature and kept on for more than a year addressing review
comments, finding better solutions. A pleasant experience.

Pull watchdog updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"A set of watchdog/softlockup related improvements:
- Enforce that the watchdog timestamp is always valid on boot. The
original implementation caused a watchdog disabled gap of one
second in the boot process due to truncation of the underlying
sched clock.
The sched clock is divided by 1e9 to convert nanoseconds to
seconds. So for the first second of the boot process the result is
0 which is at the same time the indicator to disable the watchdog.
The trivial fix is to change the disabled indicator to ULONG_MAX.

forgotten to be cleaned up in previous changes"

Pull arm64 updates from Will Deacon:
"The changes are a real mixed bag this time around.
The only scary looking one from the diffstat is the uapi change to
asm-generic/mman-common.h, but this has been acked by Arnd and is
actually just adding a pair of comments in an attempt to prevent
allocation of some PROT values which tend to get used for
arch-specific purposes. We'll be using them for Branch Target
Identification (a CFI-like hardening feature), which is currently
under review on the mailing list.
New architecture features:
- Support for Armv8.5 E0PD, which benefits KASLR in the same way as
KPTI but without the overhead. This allows KPTI to be disabled on
CPUs that are not affected by Meltdown, even is KASLR is enabled.
- Initial support for the Armv8.5 RNG instructions, which claim to
provide access to a high bandwidth, cryptographically secure
hardware random number generator. As well as exposing these to
userspace, we also use them as part of the KASLR seed and to seed
the crng once all CPUs have come online.
- Advertise a bunch of new instructions to userspace, including
support for Data Gathering Hint, Matrix Multiply and 16-bit
floating point.
Kexec:
- Cleanups in preparation for relocating with the MMU enabled
- Support for loading crash dump kernels with kexec_file_load()
Perf and PMU drivers:
- Cleanups and non-critical fixes for a couple of system PMU drivers
FPU-less (aka broken) CPU support:
- Considerable fixes to support CPUs without the FP/SIMD extensions,
including their presence in heterogeneous systems. Good luck
finding a 64-bit userspace that handles this.
Modern assembly function annotations:
- Start migrating our use of ENTRY() and ENDPROC() over to the
new-fangled SYM_{CODE,FUNC}_{START,END} macros, which are intended
to aid debuggers
Kbuild:
- Cleanup detection of LSE support in the assembler by introducing
'as-instr'
- Remove compressed Image files when building clean targets
IP checksumming:
- Implement optimised IPv4 checksumming routine when hardware offload
is not in use. An IPv6 version is in the works, pending testing.
Hardware errata:
- Work around Cortex-A55 erratum #1530923
Shadow call stack:
- Work around some issues with Clang's integrated assembler not
liking our perfectly reasonable assembly code
- Avoid allocating the X18 register, so that it can be used to hold
the shadow call stack pointer in future
ACPI:
- Fix ID count checking in IORT code. This may regress broken
firmware that happened to work with the old implementation, in
which case we'll have to revert it and try something else
- Fix DAIF corruption on return from GHES handler with pseudo-NMIs
Miscellaneous:
- Whitelist some CPUs that are unaffected by Spectre-v2
- Reduce frequency of ASID rollover when KPTI is compiled in but
inactive
- Reserve a couple of arch-specific PROT flags that are already used
by Sparc and PowerPC and are planned for later use with BTI on
arm64
- Preparatory cleanup of our entry assembly code in preparation for
moving more of it into C later on
- Refactoring and cleanup"

Now that we depend on rcu_call() and synchronize_rcu() to also wait
for preempt_disabled region to complete the rcu read critical section
in __dev_map_flush() is no longer required. Except in a few special
cases in drivers that need it for other reasons.
These originally ensured the map reference was safe while a map was
also being free'd. And additionally that bpf program updates via
ndo_bpf did not happen while flush updates were in flight. But flush
by new rules can only be called from preempt-disabled NAPI context.
The synchronize_rcu from the map free path and the rcu_call from the
delete path will ensure the reference there is safe. So lets remove
the rcu_read_lock and rcu_read_unlock pair to avoid any confusion
around how this is being protected.
If the rcu_read_lock was required it would mean errors in the above
logic and the original patch would also be wrong.
Now that we have done above we put the rcu_read_lock in the driver
code where it is needed in a driver dependent way. I think this
helps readability of the code so we know where and why we are
taking read locks. Most drivers will not need rcu_read_locks here
and further XDP drivers already have rcu_read_locks in their code
paths for reading xdp programs on RX side so this makes it symmetric
where we don't have half of rcu critical sections define in driver
and the other half in devmap.

Boot-time processing often loops in the kernel longer than one might
prefer, which can prevent expedited grace periods from completing in
a timely manner. This in turn triggers a splat In nohz_full CPUs One
could argue that long-looping code should be fixed, but on the other hand,
boot time is a bit special.
This commit therefore removes the splat. Later commits will add the
splat back in, but in a way that removes false positives.

As warnings can trigger panics, especially when "panic_on_warn" is set,
memory failure warnings can cause panics and fail fuzz testers that are
stressing memory.
Create a MEM_FAIL() macro to use instead of WARN() in the tracing code
(perhaps this should be a kernel wide macro?), and use that for memory
failure issues. This should stop failing fuzz tests due to warnings.

When unwinding the stack we need to identify each address
to successfully continue. Adding latch tree to keep trampolines
for quick lookup during the unwind.
The patch uses first 48 bytes for latch tree node, leaving 4048
bytes from the rest of the page for trampoline or dispatcher

When accessing the context we allow access to arguments with
scalar type and pointer to struct. But we deny access for
pointer to scalar type, which is the case for many functions.
Alexei suggested to take conservative approach and allow
currently only string pointer access, which is the case
for most functions now:
Adding check if the pointer is to string type and allow access to it.

The trace_array_get_by_name() creates a ftrace instance and
trace_array_put() is used to remove the reference. Even though the
trace_array_get_by_name() creates the instance, it also adds a reference
count to it, that prevents user space from removing it.
As the bootconfig just creates the instance on boot up, it should still be
used where it can be deleted by user space after boot. A trace_array_put()
is required to let that happen.
Also, change the documentation on trace_array_get_by_name() to make this not
be so confusing.

I noticed when trying to use the trace-cmd python interface that reading the raw
buffer wasn't working for kernel_stack events. This is because it uses a
stubbed version of __dynamic_array that doesn't do the __data_loc trick and
encode the length of the array into the field. Instead it just shows up as a
size of 0. So change this to __array and set the len to FTRACE_STACK_ENTRIES
since this is what we actually do in practice and matches how user_stack_trace
works.

[ Pulled from the archeological digging of my INBOX ]

Looking through old emails in my INBOX, I came across a patch from Luis
Henriques that attempted to fix a race of two stat tracers registering the
same stat trace (extremely unlikely, as this is done in the kernel, and
probably doesn't even exist). The submitted patch wasn't quite right as it
needed to deal with clean up a bit better (if two stat tracers were the
same, it would have the same files).
But to make the code cleaner, all we needed to do is to keep the
all_stat_sessions_mutex held for most of the registering function.

The stubbed version of alarmtimer_get_rtcdev() is not exported.
so this won't work if this function is used in a module when
CONFIG_RTC_CLASS=n.
Move the stub function to the header file and make it inline so that
callers don't have to worry about linking against this symbol.
rtcdev isn't used outside of this ifdef so it's not required to be
redefined to NULL. Drop that while touching this area.

The alarmtimer_suspend() function will fail if an RTC device is on a bus
such as SPI or i2c and that RTC device registers and probes after
alarmtimer_init() registers and probes the 'alarmtimer' platform device.
This is because system wide suspend suspends devices in the reverse order
of their probe. When alarmtimer_suspend() attempts to program the RTC for a
wakeup it will try to program an RTC device on a bus that has already been
suspended.
Move the alarmtimer device registration to happen when the RTC which is
used for wakeup is registered. Register the 'alarmtimer' platform device as
a child of the RTC device too, so that it can be guaranteed that the RTC
device won't be suspended when alarmtimer_suspend() is called.

on_each_cpu_cond_mask() allocates a new CPU mask. The newly allocated
mask is a subset of the provided mask based on the conditional function.
This memory allocation can be avoided by extending smp_call_function_many()
with the conditional function and performing the remote function call based
on the mask and the conditional function.
Rename smp_call_function_many() to smp_call_function_many_cond() and add
the smp_cond_func_t argument. If smp_cond_func_t is provided then it is
used before invoking the function. Provide smp_call_function_many() with
cond_func set to NULL. Let on_each_cpu_cond_mask() use
smp_call_function_many_cond().

The C preprocessor macros SRCU and TINY_RCU should instead be CONFIG_SRCU
and CONFIG_TINY_RCU, respectively in the #f in kernel/rcu/rcu.h. But
there is no harm when "TINY_RCU" is wrongly used, which are always
non-defined, which makes "!defined(TINY_RCU)" always true, which means
the code block is always included, and the included code block doesn't
cause any compilation error so far in CONFIG_TINY_RCU builds. It is
also the reason this change should not be taken in -stable.
This commit adds the needed "CONFIG_" prefix to both macros.

In the current code, rcu_nmi_enter_common() might decide to turn on
the tick using tick_dep_set_cpu(), but be delayed just before doing so.
Then the grace-period kthread might notice that the CPU in question had
in fact gone through a quiescent state, thus turning off the tick using
tick_dep_clear_cpu(). The later invocation of tick_dep_set_cpu() would
then incorrectly leave the tick on.
This commit therefore enlists the aid of the leaf rcu_node structure's
->lock to ensure that decisions to enable or disable the tick are
