Most architectures define system call numbers for the rseq and pkey system
calls, even when they don't support the features, and perhaps never will.
Only a few architectures are missing these, so just define them anyway
for consistency. If we decide to add them later to one of these, the
system call numbers won't get out of sync then.

This introduces a new generic SOL_SOCKET-level socket option called
SO_BINDTOIFINDEX. It behaves similar to SO_BINDTODEVICE, but takes a
network interface index as argument, rather than the network interface
name.
User-space often refers to network-interfaces via their index, but has
to temporarily resolve it to a name for a call into SO_BINDTODEVICE.
This might pose problems when the network-device is renamed
asynchronously by other parts of the system. When this happens, the
SO_BINDTODEVICE might either fail, or worse, it might bind to the wrong
device.
In most cases user-space only ever operates on devices which they
either manage themselves, or otherwise have a guarantee that the device
name will not change (e.g., devices that are UP cannot be renamed).
However, particularly in libraries this guarantee is non-obvious and it
would be nice if that race-condition would simply not exist. It would
make it easier for those libraries to operate even in situations where
the device-name might change under the hood.
A real use-case that we recently hit is trying to start the network
stack early in the initrd but make it survive into the real system.
Existing distributions rename network-interfaces during the transition
from initrd into the real system. This, obviously, cannot affect
devices that are up and running (unless you also consider moving them
between network-namespaces). However, the network manager now has to
make sure its management engine for dormant devices will not run in
parallel to these renames. Particularly, when you offload operations
like DHCP into separate processes, these might setup their sockets
early, and thus have to resolve the device-name possibly running into
this race-condition.
By avoiding a call to resolve the device-name, we no longer depend on
the name and can run network setup of dormant devices in parallel to
the transition off the initrd. The SO_BINDTOIFINDEX ioctl plugs this
race.

Patch series "Add support for fast mremap".
This series speeds up the mremap(2) syscall by copying page tables at
the PMD level even for non-THP systems. There is concern that the extra
'address' argument that mremap passes to pte_alloc may do something
subtle architecture related in the future that may make the scheme not
work. Also we find that there is no point in passing the 'address' to
pte_alloc since its unused. This patch therefore removes this argument
tree-wide resulting in a nice negative diff as well. Also ensuring
along the way that the enabled architectures do not do anything funky
with the 'address' argument that goes unnoticed by the optimization.
Build and boot tested on x86-64. Build tested on arm64. The config
enablement patch for arm64 will be posted in the future after more
testing.
The changes were obtained by applying the following Coccinelle script.
(thanks Julia for answering all Coccinelle questions!).
Following fix ups were done manually:
* Removal of address argument from pte_fragment_alloc
* Removal of pte_alloc_one_fast definitions from m68k and microblaze.

Nobody has actually used the type (VERIFY_READ vs VERIFY_WRITE) argument
of the user address range verification function since we got rid of the
old racy i386-only code to walk page tables by hand.
It existed because the original 80386 would not honor the write protect
bit when in kernel mode, so you had to do COW by hand before doing any
user access. But we haven't supported that in a long time, and these
days the 'type' argument is a purely historical artifact.
A discussion about extending 'user_access_begin()' to do the range
checking resulted this patch, because there is no way we're going to
move the old VERIFY_xyz interface to that model. And it's best done at
the end of the merge window when I've done most of my merges, so let's
just get this done once and for all.
This patch was mostly done with a sed-script, with manual fix-ups for
the cases that weren't of the trivial 'access_ok(VERIFY_xyz' form.
There were a couple of notable cases:
- csky still had the old "verify_area()" name as an alias.
- the iter_iov code had magical hardcoded knowledge of the actual
values of VERIFY_{READ,WRITE} (not that they mattered, since nothing
really used it)
- microblaze used the type argument for a debug printout
but other than those oddities this should be a total no-op patch.
I tried to fix up all architectures, did fairly extensive grepping for
access_ok() uses, and the changes are trivial, but I may have missed
something. Any missed conversion should be trivially fixable, though.

__NR_Linux_syscalls macro holds the number of system call
exist in parisc architecture. We have to change the value
of __NR_Linux_syscalls, if we add or delete a system call.
One of the patch in this patch series has a script which
will generate a uapi header based on syscall.tbl file.
The syscall.tbl file contains the total number of system
calls information. So we have two option to update __NR-
_Linux_syscalls value.
1. Update __NR_Linux_syscalls in asm/unistd.h manually by
counting the no.of system calls. No need to update __NR-
_Linux_syscalls until we either add a new system call or
delete existing system call.
2. We can keep this feature it above mentioned script,
that will count the number of syscalls and keep it in
a generated file. In this case we don't need to expli-
citly update __NR_Linux_syscalls in asm/unistd.h file.
The 2nd option will be the recommended one. For that, I
added the __NR_syscalls macro in uapi/asm/unistd.h along
with __NR_Linux_syscalls asm/unistd.h. The macro __NR_sys-
calls also added for making the name convention same across
all architecture. While __NR_syscalls isn't strictly part
of the uapi, having it as part of the generated header to
simplifies the implementation. We also need to enclose
this macro with #ifdef __KERNEL__ to avoid side effects.

There are only two 64-bit architecture ports that have a 32-bit
suseconds_t: sparc64 and parisc64. I've encountered a number of problems
with this, while trying to get a proper 64-bit time_t working on 32-bit
architectures. Having a 32-bit suseconds_t combined with a 64-bit time_t
means that we get extra padding in data structures that may leak kernel
stack data to user space, and it breaks all code that assumes that
timespec and timeval have the same layout.
While we can't change sparc64, it seems that glibc on parisc64 has always
set suseconds_t to 'long', and the current version would give incorrect
results for gettimeofday() and many other interfaces: timestamps passed
from user space into the kernel result in tv_usec being always zero
(the lower bits contain the intended value but are ignored) while data
passed from the kernel to user space contains either zeroes or random
data in tv_usec.
Based on that, it seems best to change the user API in the kernel in
an incompatible way to match what glibc expects.
Note that the distros I could find (gentoo and debian) all just
have 32-bit user space, which does not suffer from this problem.

Pull siginfo updates from Eric Biederman:
"I have been slowly sorting out siginfo and this is the culmination of
that work.
The primary result is in several ways the signal infrastructure has
been made less error prone. The code has been updated so that manually
specifying SEND_SIG_FORCED is never necessary. The conversion to the
new siginfo sending functions is now complete, which makes it
difficult to send a signal without filling in the proper siginfo
fields.
At the tail end of the patchset comes the optimization of decreasing
the size of struct siginfo in the kernel from 128 bytes to about 48
bytes on 64bit. The fundamental observation that enables this is by
definition none of the known ways to use struct siginfo uses the extra
bytes.
This comes at the cost of a small user space observable difference.
For the rare case of siginfo being injected into the kernel only what
can be copied into kernel_siginfo is delivered to the destination, the
rest of the bytes are set to 0. For cases where the signal and the
si_code are known this is safe, because we know those bytes are not
used. For cases where the signal and si_code combination is unknown
the bits that won't fit into struct kernel_siginfo are tested to
verify they are zero, and the send fails if they are not.
I made an extensive search through userspace code and I could not find
anything that would break because of the above change. If it turns out
I did break something it will take just the revert of a single change
to restore kernel_siginfo to the same size as userspace siginfo.
Testing did reveal dependencies on preferring the signo passed to
sigqueueinfo over si->signo, so bit the bullet and added the
complexity necessary to handle that case.
Testing also revealed bad things can happen if a negative signal
number is passed into the system calls. Something no sane application
will do but something a malicious program or a fuzzer might do. So I
have fixed the code that performs the bounds checks to ensure negative
signal numbers are handled"

This patch adds the necessary code to patch a running kernel at runtime
to improve performance.
The current implementation offers a few optimizations variants:
- When running a SMP kernel on a single UP processor, unwanted assembler
statements like locking functions are overwritten with NOPs. When
multiple instructions shall be skipped, one branch instruction is used
instead of multiple nop instructions.
- In the UP case, some pdtlb and pitlb instructions are patched to
become pdtlb,l and pitlb,l which only flushes the CPU-local tlb
entries instead of broadcasting the flush to other CPUs in the system
and thus may improve performance.
- fic and fdc instructions are skipped if no I- or D-caches are
installed. This should speed up qemu emulation and cacheless systems.
- If no cache coherence is needed for IO operations, the relevant fdc
and sync instructions in the sba and ccio drivers are replaced by
nops.
- On systems which share I- and D-TLBs and thus don't have a seperate
instruction TLB, the pitlb instruction is replaced by a nop.
Live-patching is done early in the boot process, just after having run
the system inventory. No drivers are running and thus no external
interrupts should arrive. So the hope is that no TLB exceptions will
occur during the patching. If this turns out to be wrong we will
probably need to do the patching in real-mode.

Change the parisc vmlinuz boot code to include and process the real
compressed vmlinux.gz ELF file instead of a compressed memory dump.
This brings parisc in sync on how it's done on x86_64.
The benefit of this change is that, e.g. for debugging purposes, one can
then extract the vmlinux file out of the vmlinuz which was booted which
wasn't possible before. This can be archieved with the existing
scripts/extract-vmlinux script, which just needs a small tweak to prefer
to extract a compressed file before trying the existing given binary.
The downside of this approach is that due to the extra round of
decompression/ELF processing we need more physical memory installed to
be able to boot a kernel.

Rework the defintion of struct siginfo so that the array padding
struct siginfo to SI_MAX_SIZE can be placed in a union along side of
the rest of the struct siginfo members. The result is that we no
longer need the __ARCH_SI_PREAMBLE_SIZE or SI_PAD_SIZE definitions.

Add the ISO7816 ioctl and associated accessors and data structure.
Drivers can then use this common implementation to handle ISO7816
(smart cards).

After changing over to 64-bit time_t syscalls, many architectures will
want compat_sys_utimensat() but not respective handlers for utime(),
utimes() and futimesat(). This adds a new __ARCH_WANT_SYS_UTIME32 to
complement __ARCH_WANT_SYS_UTIME. For now, all 64-bit architectures that
support CONFIG_COMPAT set it, but future 64-bit architectures will not
(tile would not have needed it either, but got removed).
As older 32-bit architectures get converted to using CONFIG_64BIT_TIME,
they will have to use __ARCH_WANT_SYS_UTIME32 instead of
__ARCH_WANT_SYS_UTIME. Architectures using the generic syscall ABI don't
need either of them as they never had a utime syscall.
Since the compat_utimbuf structure is now required outside of
CONFIG_COMPAT, I'm moving it into compat_time.h.
