This moves the usermode helper locks into only code paths that use the
usermode helper API from the kernel. The usermode helper locks were
originally added to prevent stalling suspend, later the firmware cache
was added to help with this, and further later direct filesystem lookup
was added by Linus to completely bypass udev due to the amount of issues
the umh approach had.
The usermode helper locks were kept even when the direct filesystem lookup
mechanism is used though. A lot has changed since the original usermode
helper locks were added but the recent commit which added the code for
firmware_enabled() are intended to address any possible races cured only
as collateral by using the locks as though side consequence of code
evolution and this not being addressed any time sooner. With the
firmware_enabled() code in place we are a bit more sure to move the
usermode helper locks to UMH only code.
There is a bit of history here so let's recap a bit of it to ensure nothing
is lost and things are clear. The direct filesystem approach to loading
firmware is rather new, it was added via commit abb139e75c ("firmware:
teach the kernel to load firmware files directly from the filesystem") by
Linus merged on the v3.7 release, to enable to bypass udev.
usermodehelper_read_lock_wait() was added earlier via commit 9b78c1da60
("firmware_class: Do not warn that system is not ready from async loads")
merged on v3.4, after Rafael noted that the async firmware API call
request_firmware_nowait() should not be penalized to fail if userspace is
not available yet or frozen, it'd allow for a timeout grace period before
giving up. The WARN_ON() was kept for the sync firmware API call though on
request_firmware(). At this time there was no direct filesystem lookup for
firmware though.
The original usermode helper lock came from commit a144c6a6c9 ("PM:
Print a warning if firmware is requested when tasks are frozen") merged on
the v3.0 kernel by Rafael to print a warning back when firmware requests
were used on resume(), thaw() or restore() callbacks and there was no
direct fs lookups or the firmware cache.

The firmware API should not be used after we go to suspend
and after we reboot/halt. The suspend/resume case is a bit
complex, so this documents that so things are clearer.
We want to know about users of the API in incorrect places so
that their callers are corrected, so this also adds a warn
for those cases.

We kill pending fallback requests on suspend and reboot,
the only difference is that on suspend we only kill custom
fallback requests. Provide a wrapper that lets us customize
the request with a flag.
This also lets us simplify the #ifdef'ery over the calls.

Now that some functions that deal with arch topology information live

Reduce the scope of cap_parsing_failed (making it static in
drivers/base/arch_topology.c) by slightly changing {arm,arm64} DT
parsing code.
For arm checking for !cap_parsing_failed before calling normalize_
cpu_capacity() is superfluous, as returning an error from parse_
cpu_capacity() (above) means cap_from _dt is set to false.
For arm64 we can simply check if raw_capacity points to something,
which is not if capacity parsing has failed.

The dma_common_pages_remap() function allocates a vm_struct object and
initialises the pages pointer to value passed as argument. However, when
this function is called dma_common_contiguous_remap(), the pages array
is only temporarily allocated, being freed shortly after
dma_common_contiguous_remap() returns. Architecture code checking the
validity of an area->pages pointer would incorrectly dereference already
freed pointers. This has been exposed by the arm64 commit 44176bb38f
("arm64: Add support for DMA_ATTR_FORCE_CONTIGUOUS to IOMMU").

This patch makes it possible to pass additional arguments in addition
to uevent action name when writing /sys/.../uevent attribute. These
additional arguments are then inserted into generated synthetic uevent
as additional environment variables.
Before, we were not able to pass any additional uevent environment
variables for synthetic uevents. This made it hard to identify such uevents
properly in userspace to make proper distinction between genuine uevents
originating from kernel and synthetic uevents triggered from userspace.
Also, it was not possible to pass any additional information which would
make it possible to optimize and change the way the synthetic uevents are
processed back in userspace based on the originating environment of the
triggering action in userspace. With the extra additional variables, we are
able to pass through this extra information needed and also it makes it
possible to synchronize with such synthetic uevents as they can be clearly
identified back in userspace.
The format for writing the uevent attribute is following:
ACTION [UUID [KEY=VALUE ...]
There's no change in how "ACTION" is recognized - it stays the same
("add", "change", "remove"). The "ACTION" is the only argument required
to generate synthetic uevent, the rest of arguments, that this patch
adds support for, are optional.
The "UUID" is considered as transaction identifier so it's possible to
use the same UUID value for one or more synthetic uevents in which case
we logically group these uevents together for any userspace listeners.
The "UUID" is expected to be in "xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx"
format where "x" is a hex digit. The value appears in uevent as
"SYNTH_UUID=xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx" environment variable.
The "KEY=VALUE" pairs can contain alphanumeric characters only. It's
possible to define zero or more more pairs - each pair is then delimited
by a space character " ". Each pair appears in synthetic uevents as
"SYNTH_ARG_KEY=VALUE" environment variable. That means the KEY name gains
"SYNTH_ARG_" prefix to avoid possible collisions with existing variables.
To pass the "KEY=VALUE" pairs, it's also required to pass in the "UUID"
part for the synthetic uevent first.
If "UUID" is not passed in, the generated synthetic uevent gains
"SYNTH_UUID=0" environment variable automatically so it's possible to
identify this situation in userspace when reading generated uevent and so
we can still make a difference between genuine and synthetic uevents.

The code to fetch a 64-bit value from user space was entirely buggered,
and has been since the code was merged in early 2016 in commit
b2f680380d ("x86/mm/32: Add support for 64-bit __get_user() on 32-bit
kernels").
Happily the buggered routine is almost certainly entirely unused, since
the normal way to access user space memory is just with the non-inlined
"get_user()", and the inlined version didn't even historically exist.
The normal "get_user()" case is handled by external hand-written asm in
arch/x86/lib/getuser.S that doesn't have either of these issues.
There were two independent bugs in __get_user_asm_u64():
- it still did the STAC/CLAC user space access marking, even though
that is now done by the wrapper macros, see commit 11f1a4b975
("x86: reorganize SMAP handling in user space accesses").
This didn't result in a semantic error, it just means that the
inlined optimized version was hugely less efficient than the
allegedly slower standard version, since the CLAC/STAC overhead is
quite high on modern Intel CPU's.
- the double register %eax/%edx was marked as an output, but the %eax
part of it was touched early in the asm, and could thus clobber other
inputs to the asm that gcc didn't expect it to touch.
In particular, that meant that the generated code could look like
this:
mov (%eax),%eax
mov 0x4(%eax),%edx
where the load of %edx obviously was _supposed_ to be from the 32-bit
word that followed the source of %eax, but because %eax was
overwritten by the first instruction, the source of %edx was
basically random garbage.
The fixes are trivial: remove the extraneous STAC/CLAC entries, and mark
the 64-bit output as early-clobber to let gcc know that no inputs should
alias with the output register.

Al noticed that unsafe_put_user() had type problems, and fixed them in
commit a7cc722fff ("fix unsafe_put_user()"), which made me look more
at those functions.
It turns out that unsafe_get_user() had a type issue too: it limited the
largest size of the type it could handle to "unsigned long". Which is
fine with the current users, but doesn't match our existing normal
get_user() semantics, which can also handle "u64" even when that does
not fit in a long.
While at it, also clean up the type cast in unsafe_put_user(). We
actually want to just make it an assignment to the expected type of the
pointer, because we actually do want warnings from types that don't
convert silently. And it makes the code more readable by not having
that one very long and complex line.
[ This patch might become stable material if we ever end up back-porting
any new users of the unsafe uaccess code, but as things stand now this
doesn't matter for any current existing uses. ]
