If a device doesn't support DMA to a physical address that includes the
encryption bit (currently bit 47, so 48-bit DMA), then the DMA must
occur to unencrypted memory. SWIOTLB is used to satisfy that requirement
if an IOMMU is not active (enabled or configured in passthrough mode).
However, commit fafadcd165 ("swiotlb: don't dip into swiotlb pool for
coherent allocations") modified the coherent allocation support in
SWIOTLB to use the DMA direct coherent allocation support. When an IOMMU
is not active, this resulted in dma_alloc_coherent() failing for devices
that didn't support DMA addresses that included the encryption bit.
Addressing this requires changes to the force_dma_unencrypted() function
in kernel/dma/direct.c. Since the function is now non-trivial and
SME/SEV specific, update the DMA direct support to add an arch override
for the force_dma_unencrypted() function. The arch override is selected
when CONFIG_AMD_MEM_ENCRYPT is set. The arch override function resides in
the arch/x86/mm/mem_encrypt.c file and forces unencrypted DMA when either
SEV is active or SME is active and the device does not support DMA to
physical addresses that include the encryption bit.

Pull x86 platform driver updates from Andy Shevchenko:
"Gathered a bunch of x86 platform driver changes. It's rather big,
since includes two big refactors and completely new driver:
- ASUS WMI driver got a big refactoring in order to support the TUF
Gaming laptops. Besides that, the regression with backlight being
permanently off on various EeePC laptops has been fixed.
- Accelerometer on HP ProBook 450 G0 shows wrong measurements due to
X axis being inverted. This has been fixed.
- Intel PMC core driver has been extended to be ACPI enumerated if
the DSDT provides device with _HID "INT33A1". This allows to
convert the driver to be pure platform and support new hardware
purely based on ACPI DSDT.
- From now on the Intel Speed Select Technology is supported thru a
corresponding driver. This driver provides an access to the
features of the ISST, such as Performance Profile, Core Power, Base
frequency and Turbo Frequency.
- Mellanox platform drivers has been refactored and now extended to
support more systems, including new coming ones.
- The OLPC XO-1.75 platform is now supported.
- CB4063 Beckhoff Automation board is using PMC clocks, provided via
pmc_atom driver, for ethernet controllers in a way that they can't
be managed by the clock driver. The quirk has been extended to
cover this case.
- Touchscreen on Chuwi Hi10 Plus tablet has been enabled. Meanwhile
the information of Chuwi Hi10 Air has been fixed to cover more
models based on the same platform.
- Xiaomi notebooks have WMI interface enabled. Thus, the driver to
support it has been provided. It required some extension of the
generic WMI library, which allows to propagate opaque context to
the ->probe() of the individual drivers.
This release includes debugfs clean up from Greg KH for several
drivers that drop return code check and make debugfs absence or
failure non-fatal.

With vsyscall emulation on, a readable vsyscall page is still exposed that
contains syscall instructions that validly implement the vsyscalls.
This is required because certain dynamic binary instrumentation tools
attempt to read the call targets of call instructions in the instrumented
code. If the instrumented code uses vsyscalls, then the vsyscall page needs
to contain readable code.
Unfortunately, leaving readable memory at a deterministic address can be
used to help various ASLR bypasses, so some hardening value can be gained
by disallowing vsyscall reads.
Given how rarely the vsyscall page needs to be readable, add a mechanism to
make the vsyscall page be execute only.

When DYNAMIC_FTRACE is enabled in the kernel, all the functions that can be
traced by the function tracer have a "nop" placeholder at the start of the
function. When function tracing is enabled, the nop is converted into a call
to the tracing infrastructure where the functions get traced. This also
allows for specifying specific functions to trace, and a lot of
infrastructure is built on top of this.
When DYNAMIC_FTRACE is not enabled, all the functions have a call to the
ftrace trampoline. A check is made to see if a function pointer is the
ftrace_stub or not, and if it is not, it calls the function pointer to trace
the code. This adds over 10% overhead to the kernel even when tracing is
disabled.
When an architecture supports DYNAMIC_FTRACE there really is no reason to
use the static tracing. I have kept non DYNAMIC_FTRACE available in x86 so
that the generic code for non DYNAMIC_FTRACE can be tested. There is no
reason to support non DYNAMIC_FTRACE for both x86_64 and x86_32. As the non
DYNAMIC_FTRACE for x86_32 does not even support fentry, and we want to
remove mcount completely, there's no reason to keep non DYNAMIC_FTRACE
around for x86_32.

Pull pidfd updates from Christian Brauner:
"This patchset makes it possible to retrieve pidfds at process creation
time by introducing the new flag CLONE_PIDFD to the clone() system
call. Linus originally suggested to implement this as a new flag to
clone() instead of making it a separate system call.
After a thorough review from Oleg CLONE_PIDFD returns pidfds in the
parent_tidptr argument. This means we can give back the associated pid
and the pidfd at the same time. Access to process metadata information
thus becomes rather trivial.
As has been agreed, CLONE_PIDFD creates file descriptors based on
anonymous inodes similar to the new mount api. They are made
unconditional by this patchset as they are now needed by core kernel
code (vfs, pidfd) even more than they already were before (timerfd,
signalfd, io_uring, epoll etc.). The core patchset is rather small.
The bulky looking changelist is caused by David's very simple changes
to Kconfig to make anon inodes unconditional.
A pidfd comes with additional information in fdinfo if the kernel
supports procfs. The fdinfo file contains the pid of the process in
the callers pid namespace in the same format as the procfs status
file, i.e. "Pid:\t%d".
To remove worries about missing metadata access this patchset comes
with a sample/test program that illustrates how a combination of
CLONE_PIDFD and pidfd_send_signal() can be used to gain race-free
access to process metadata through /proc/<pid>.
Further work based on this patchset has been done by Joel. His work
makes pidfds pollable. It finished too late for this merge window. I
would prefer to have it sitting in linux-next for a while and send it
for inclusion during the 5.3 merge window"

Pull x86 irq updates from Ingo Molnar:
"Here are the main changes in this tree:
- Introduce x86-64 IRQ/exception/debug stack guard pages to detect
stack overflows immediately and deterministically.
- Clean up over a decade worth of cruft accumulated.
The outcome of this should be more clear-cut faults/crashes when any
of the low level x86 CPU stacks overflow, instead of silent memory
corruption and sporadic failures much later on"

Pull stack trace updates from Ingo Molnar:
"So Thomas looked at the stacktrace code recently and noticed a few
weirdnesses, and we all know how such stories of crummy kernel code
meeting German engineering perfection end: a 45-patch series to clean
it all up! :-)
Here's the changes in Thomas's words:
'Struct stack_trace is a sinkhole for input and output parameters
which is largely pointless for most usage sites. In fact if embedded
into other data structures it creates indirections and extra storage
overhead for no benefit.
Looking at all usage sites makes it clear that they just require an
interface which is based on a storage array. That array is either on
stack, global or embedded into some other data structure.
Some of the stack depot usage sites are outright wrong, but
fortunately the wrongness just causes more stack being used for
nothing and does not have functional impact.
Another oddity is the inconsistent termination of the stack trace
with ULONG_MAX. It's pointless as the number of entries is what
determines the length of the stored trace. In fact quite some call
sites remove the ULONG_MAX marker afterwards with or without nasty
comments about it. Not all architectures do that and those which do,
do it inconsistenly either conditional on nr_entries == 0 or
unconditionally.
The following series cleans that up by:
1) Removing the ULONG_MAX termination in the architecture code
2) Removing the ULONG_MAX fixups at the call sites
3) Providing plain storage array based interfaces for stacktrace
and stackdepot.
4) Cleaning up the mess at the callsites including some related
cleanups.
5) Removing the struct stack_trace based interfaces
This is not changing the struct stack_trace interfaces at the
architecture level, but it removes the exposure to the generic
code'"

Pull unified TLB flushing from Ingo Molnar:
"This contains the generic mmu_gather feature from Peter Zijlstra,
which is an all-arch unification of TLB flushing APIs, via the
following (broad) steps:
- enhance the <asm-generic/tlb.h> APIs to cover more arch details
- convert most TLB flushing arch implementations to the generic
<asm-generic/tlb.h> APIs.
- remove leftovers of per arch implementations
After this series every single architecture makes use of the unified
TLB flushing APIs"
