Currently the cq counters are allocated in userspace memory,
and mapped by the driver to the device address space.
A new requirement that is part of new future API related to this one,
requires that cq counters will be allocated in kernel memory.
We leverage the existing cb_create API with KERNEL_MAPPED flag set to
allocate this memory.
That way we gain two things:
1. The memory cannot be freed while in use since it's protected
by refcount in driver.
2. No need to wake up the user thread upon each interrupt from CQ,
because the kernel has direct access to the counter. Therefore,
it can make comparison with the target value in the interrupt
handler and wake up the user thread only if the counter reaches the
target value. This is instead of waking the thread up to copy counter
value from user then go sleep again if target value wasn't reached.

A new uAPI is added for debug purposes of the user-space to retrieve
errors related data from previous session (before device reset was
performed).
Inforamtion is filled when a razwi or CS timeout happens and can
contain one of the following:
1. Retrieve timestamp of last time the device was opened and razwi or
CS timeout happened.
2. Retrieve information about last CS timeout.
3. Retrieve information about last razwi error.
This information doesn't contain user data, so no danger of data
leakage between users.

This limit has not been updated since 2008, when it was increased to 64
KiB at the request of GnuPG. Until recently, the main use-cases for this
feature were (1) preventing sensitive memory from being swapped, as in
GnuPG's use-case; and (2) real-time use-cases. In the first case, little
memory is called for, and in the second case, the user is generally in a
position to increase it if they need more.
The introduction of IOURING_REGISTER_BUFFERS adds a third use-case:
preparing fixed buffers for high-performance I/O. This use-case will take
as much of this memory as it can get, but is still limited to 64 KiB by
default, which is very little. This increases the limit to 8 MB, which
was chosen fairly arbitrarily as a more generous, but still conservative,
default value.
It is also possible to raise this limit in userspace. This is easily
done, for example, in the use-case of a network daemon: systemd, for
instance, provides for this via LimitMEMLOCK in the service file; OpenRC
via the rc_ulimit variables. However, there is no established userspace
facility for configuring this outside of daemons: end-user applications do
not presently have access to a convenient means of raising their limits.
The buck, as it were, stops with the kernel. It's much easier to address
it here than it is to bring it to hundreds of distributions, and it can
only realistically be relied upon to be high-enough by end-user software
if it is more-or-less ubiquitous. Most distros don't change this
particular rlimit from the kernel-supplied default value, so a change here
will easily provide that ubiquity.

signalfd_poll() and binder_poll() are special in that they use a
waitqueue whose lifetime is the current task, rather than the struct
file as is normally the case. This is okay for blocking polls, since a
blocking poll occurs within one task; however, non-blocking polls
require another solution. This solution is for the queue to be cleared
before it is freed, by sending a POLLFREE notification to all waiters.
Unfortunately, only eventpoll handles POLLFREE. A second type of
non-blocking poll, aio poll, was added in kernel v4.18, and it doesn't
handle POLLFREE. This allows a use-after-free to occur if a signalfd or
binder fd is polled with aio poll, and the waitqueue gets freed.
Fix this by making aio poll handle POLLFREE.
A patch by Ramji Jiyani <ramjiyani@google.com>
(https://lore.kernel.org/r/20211027011834.2497484-1-ramjiyani@google.com)
tried to do this by making aio_poll_wake() always complete the request
inline if POLLFREE is seen. However, that solution had two bugs.
First, it introduced a deadlock, as it unconditionally locked the aio
context while holding the waitqueue lock, which inverts the normal
locking order. Second, it didn't consider that POLLFREE notifications
are missed while the request has been temporarily de-queued.
The second problem was solved by my previous patch. This patch then
properly fixes the use-after-free by handling POLLFREE in a
deadlock-free way. It does this by taking advantage of the fact that
freeing of the waitqueue is RCU-delayed, similar to what eventpoll does.

The current virtgpu implementation of poll(..) drops events
when VIRTGPU_CONTEXT_PARAM_POLL_RINGS_MASK is enabled (otherwise
it's like a normal DRM driver).
This is because paravirtualized userspaces receives responses in a
buffer of type BLOB_MEM_GUEST, not by read(..).
To be in line with other DRM drivers and avoid specialized behavior,
it is possible to define a dummy event for virtgpu. Paravirtualized
userspace will now have to call read(..) on the DRM fd to receive the
dummy event.

Add support for AMD SEV and SEV-ES intra-host migration support. Intra
host migration provides a low-cost mechanism for userspace VMM upgrades.
In the common case for intra host migration, we can rely on the normal
ioctls for passing data from one VMM to the next. SEV, SEV-ES, and other
confidential compute environments make most of this information opaque, and
render KVM ioctls such as "KVM_GET_REGS" irrelevant. As a result, we need
the ability to pass this opaque metadata from one VMM to the next. The
easiest way to do this is to leave this data in the kernel, and transfer
ownership of the metadata from one KVM VM (or vCPU) to the next. In-kernel
hand off makes it possible to move any data that would be
unsafe/impossible for the kernel to hand directly to userspace, and
cannot be reproduced using data that can be handed to userspace.

A lot of the misuse of the existing abstractions are silly things such
as doing something after calling a no return function, rolling BUG by

calling do_exit(SIGKILL) instead of calling force_sig(SIGKILL).
In the review a deficiency in force_fatal_sig and force_sig_seccomp
where ptrace or sigaction could prevent the delivery of the signal was
found. I have added a change that adds SA_IMMUTABLE to change that
makes it impossible to interrupt the delivery of those signals, and

Pull prctl updates from Christian Brauner:
"This contains the missing prctl uapi pieces for PR_SCHED_CORE.
In order to activate core scheduling the caller is expected to specify
the scope of the new core scheduling domain.
For example, passing 2 in the 4th argument of
prctl(PR_SCHED_CORE, PR_SCHED_CORE_CREATE, <pid>, 2, 0);
would indicate that the new core scheduling domain encompasses all
tasks in the process group of <pid>. Specifying 0 would only create a
core scheduling domain for the thread identified by <pid> and 2 would
encompass the whole thread-group of <pid>.
Note, the values 0, 1, and 2 correspond to PIDTYPE_PID, PIDTYPE_TGID,
and PIDTYPE_PGID. A first version tried to expose those values
directly to which I objected because:
- PIDTYPE_* is an enum that is kernel internal which we should not
expose to userspace directly.
- PIDTYPE_* indicates what a given struct pid is used for it doesn't
express a scope.
But what the 4th argument of PR_SCHED_CORE prctl() expresses is the
scope of the operation, i.e. the scope of the core scheduling domain
at creation time. So Eugene's patch now simply introduces three new
defines PR_SCHED_CORE_SCOPE_THREAD, PR_SCHED_CORE_SCOPE_THREAD_GROUP,
and PR_SCHED_CORE_SCOPE_PROCESS_GROUP. They simply express what
happens.
This has been on the mailing list for quite a while with all relevant
scheduler folks Cced. I announced multiple times that I'd pick this up
if I don't see or her anyone else doing it. None of this touches
proper scheduler code but only concerns uapi so I think this is fine.
With core scheduling being quite common now for vm managers (e.g.
moving individual vcpu threads into their own core scheduling domain)
and container managers (e.g. moving the init process into its own core
scheduling domain and letting all created children inherit it) having
to rely on raw numbers passed as the 4th argument in prctl() is a bit
annoying and everyone is starting to come up with their own defines"
