Pull locking updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"A set of locking fixes and updates:
- Untangle the header spaghetti which causes build failures in
various situations caused by the lockdep additions to seqcount to
validate that the write side critical sections are non-preemptible.
- The seqcount associated lock debug addons which were blocked by the
above fallout.
seqcount writers contrary to seqlock writers must be externally
serialized, which usually happens via locking - except for strict
per CPU seqcounts. As the lock is not part of the seqcount, lockdep
cannot validate that the lock is held.
This new debug mechanism adds the concept of associated locks.
sequence count has now lock type variants and corresponding
initializers which take a pointer to the associated lock used for
writer serialization. If lockdep is enabled the pointer is stored
and write_seqcount_begin() has a lockdep assertion to validate that
the lock is held.
Aside of the type and the initializer no other code changes are
required at the seqcount usage sites. The rest of the seqcount API
is unchanged and determines the type at compile time with the help
of _Generic which is possible now that the minimal GCC version has
been moved up.
Adding this lockdep coverage unearthed a handful of seqcount bugs
which have been addressed already independent of this.
While generally useful this comes with a Trojan Horse twist: On RT
kernels the write side critical section can become preemtible if
the writers are serialized by an associated lock, which leads to
the well known reader preempts writer livelock. RT prevents this by
storing the associated lock pointer independent of lockdep in the
seqcount and changing the reader side to block on the lock when a
reader detects that a writer is in the write side critical section.
- Conversion of seqcount usage sites to associated types and
initializers"

A bunch of old (aout, originally) primitives used by coredumps became

unfortunately, it happened to hide the bisect hazard on sh (extern for

Patch series "mm: cleanup usage of <asm/pgalloc.h>"
Most architectures have very similar versions of pXd_alloc_one() and
pXd_free_one() for intermediate levels of page table. These patches add
generic versions of these functions in <asm-generic/pgalloc.h> and enable
use of the generic functions where appropriate.
In addition, functions declared and defined in <asm/pgalloc.h> headers are
used mostly by core mm and early mm initialization in arch and there is no
actual reason to have the <asm/pgalloc.h> included all over the place.
The first patch in this series removes unneeded includes of
<asm/pgalloc.h>
In the end it didn't work out as neatly as I hoped and moving
pXd_alloc_track() definitions to <asm-generic/pgalloc.h> would require
unnecessary changes to arches that have custom page table allocations, so
I've decided to move lib/ioremap.c to mm/ and make pgalloc-track.h local
to mm/.
This patch (of 8):
In most cases <asm/pgalloc.h> header is required only for allocations of
page table memory. Most of the .c files that include that header do not
use symbols declared in <asm/pgalloc.h> and do not require that header.
As for the other header files that used to include <asm/pgalloc.h>, it is
possible to move that include into the .c file that actually uses symbols
from <asm/pgalloc.h> and drop the include from the header file.
The process was somewhat automated using
sed -i -E '/[<"]asm\/pgalloc\.h/d' \
$(grep -L -w -f /tmp/xx \
$(git grep -E -l '[<"]asm/pgalloc\.h'))
where /tmp/xx contains all the symbols defined in
arch/*/include/asm/pgalloc.h.

Pull close_range() implementation from Christian Brauner:
"This adds the close_range() syscall. It allows to efficiently close a
range of file descriptors up to all file descriptors of a calling
task.
This is coordinated with the FreeBSD folks which have copied our
version of this syscall and in the meantime have already merged it in
April 2019:
https://reviews.freebsd.org/D21627https://svnweb.freebsd.org/base?view=revision&revision=359836
The syscall originally came up in a discussion around the new mount
API and making new file descriptor types cloexec by default. During
this discussion, Al suggested the close_range() syscall.
First, it helps to close all file descriptors of an exec()ing task.
This can be done safely via (quoting Al's example from [1] verbatim):
/* that exec is sensitive */
unshare(CLONE_FILES);
/* we don't want anything past stderr here */
close_range(3, ~0U);
execve(....);
The code snippet above is one way of working around the problem that
file descriptors are not cloexec by default. This is aggravated by the
fact that we can't just switch them over without massively regressing
userspace. For a whole class of programs having an in-kernel method of
closing all file descriptors is very helpful (e.g. demons, service
managers, programming language standard libraries, container managers
etc.).
Second, it allows userspace to avoid implementing closing all file
descriptors by parsing through /proc/<pid>/fd/* and calling close() on
each file descriptor and other hacks. From looking at various
large(ish) userspace code bases this or similar patterns are very
common in service managers, container runtimes, and programming
language runtimes/standard libraries such as Python or Rust.
In addition, the syscall will also work for tasks that do not have
procfs mounted and on kernels that do not have procfs support compiled
in. In such situations the only way to make sure that all file
descriptors are closed is to call close() on each file descriptor up
to UINT_MAX or RLIMIT_NOFILE, OPEN_MAX trickery.
Based on Linus' suggestion close_range() also comes with a new flag
CLOSE_RANGE_UNSHARE to more elegantly handle file descriptor dropping
right before exec. This would usually be expressed in the sequence:
unshare(CLONE_FILES);
close_range(3, ~0U);
as pointed out by Linus it might be desirable to have this be a part
of close_range() itself under a new flag CLOSE_RANGE_UNSHARE which
gets especially handy when we're closing all file descriptors above a
certain threshold.

Pull fork cleanups from Christian Brauner:
"This is cleanup series from when we reworked a chunk of the process
creation paths in the kernel and switched to struct
{kernel_}clone_args.
High-level this does two main things:
- Remove the double export of both do_fork() and _do_fork() where
do_fork() used the incosistent legacy clone calling convention.
Now we only export _do_fork() which is based on struct
kernel_clone_args.
- Remove the copy_thread_tls()/copy_thread() split making the
architecture specific HAVE_COYP_THREAD_TLS config option obsolete.
This switches all remaining architectures to select
HAVE_COPY_THREAD_TLS and thus to the copy_thread_tls() calling
convention. The current split makes the process creation codepaths
more convoluted than they need to be. Each architecture has their own
copy_thread() function unless it selects HAVE_COPY_THREAD_TLS then it
has a copy_thread_tls() function.
The split is not needed anymore nowadays, all architectures support
CLONE_SETTLS but quite a few of them never bothered to select
HAVE_COPY_THREAD_TLS and instead simply continued to use copy_thread()
and use the old calling convention. Removing this split cleans up the
process creation codepaths and paves the way for implementing clone3()
on such architectures since it requires the copy_thread_tls() calling
convention.
After having made each architectures support copy_thread_tls() this
series simply renames that function back to copy_thread(). It also
switches all architectures that call do_fork() directly over to
_do_fork() and the struct kernel_clone_args calling convention. This
is a corollary of switching the architectures that did not yet support
it over to copy_thread_tls() since do_fork() is conditional on not
supporting copy_thread_tls() (Mostly because it lacks a separate
argument for tls which is trivial to fix but there's no need for this
function to exist.).
The do_fork() removal is in itself already useful as it allows to to
remove the export of both do_fork() and _do_fork() we currently have
in favor of only _do_fork(). This has already been discussed back when
we added clone3(). The legacy clone() calling convention is - as is
probably well-known - somewhat odd:
#
# ABI hall of shame
#
config CLONE_BACKWARDS
config CLONE_BACKWARDS2
config CLONE_BACKWARDS3
that is aggravated by the fact that some architectures such as sparc
follow the CLONE_BACKWARDSx calling convention but don't really select
the corresponding config option since they call do_fork() directly.
So do_fork() enforces a somewhat arbitrary calling convention in the
first place that doesn't really help the individual architectures that
deviate from it. They can thus simply be switched to _do_fork()
enforcing a single calling convention. (I really hope that any new
architectures will __not__ try to implement their own calling
conventions...)
Most architectures already have made a similar switch (m68k comes to
mind).
Overall this removes more code than it adds even with a good portion
of added comments. It simplifies a chunk of arch specific assembly
either by moving the code into C or by simply rewriting the assembly.
Architectures that have been touched in non-trivial ways have all been
actually boot and stress tested: sparc and ia64 have been tested with
Debian 9 images. They are the two architectures which have been
touched the most. All non-trivial changes to architectures have seen
acks from the relevant maintainers. nios2 with a custom built
buildroot image. h8300 I couldn't get something bootable to test on
but the changes have been fairly automatic and I'm sure we'll hear
people yell if I broke something there.
All other architectures that have been touched in trivial ways have
been compile tested for each single patch of the series via git rebase
-x "make ..." v5.8-rc2. arm{64} and x86{_64} have been boot tested
even though they have just been trivially touched (removal of the
HAVE_COPY_THREAD_TLS macro from their Kconfig) because well they are
basically "core architectures" and since it is trivial to get your
hands on a useable image"

The function takes the register number, finds the corresponding field
of pt_regs for registers that are saved there or does the unwind for the
registers that end up spilled on the kernel stack. Then it reads from
or writes to the resulting location.
Unfortunately, finding the required pt_regs field is done by rather
horrible switch. It's microoptimized in all the wrong places - it
even uses the knowledge that fields for r8..r11 follow each other
in pt_regs layout, while r12..r13 are not adjacent to those, etc.
All of that is to encode the mapping from register numbers to offsets +
the information that r4..r7 are not to be found in pt_regs.
It's deeply in nasal demon territory, at that - the games it plays
with pointer arithmetics on addresses of structure members are
undefined behaviour.
Valid C ends up with better code in this case: just initialize a constant
array with offsets of relevant pt_regs fields and we don't need that
switch anymore.

This is part of a larger series that aims at getting rid of the
copy_thread()/copy_thread_tls() split that makes the process creation
codepaths in the kernel more convoluted and error-prone than they need
to be.
I'm converting all the remaining arches that haven't yet switched and
am collecting individual acks. Once I have them, I'll send the whole series
removing the copy_thread()/copy_thread_tls() split, the
HAVE_COPY_THREAD_TLS define and the legacy do_fork() helper. The only
kernel-wide process creation entry point for anything not going directly
through the syscall path will then be based on struct kernel_clone_args.
No more danger of weird process creation abi quirks between architectures
hopefully, and easier to maintain overall.
It also unblocks implementing clone3() on architectures not support
copy_thread_tls(). Any architecture that wants to implement clone3()
will need to select HAVE_COPY_THREAD_TLS and thus need to implement
copy_thread_tls(). So both goals are connected but independently
beneficial.
HAVE_COPY_THREAD_TLS means that a given architecture supports
CLONE_SETTLS and not setting it should usually mean that the
architectures doesn't implement it but that's not how things are. In
fact all architectures support CLONE_TLS it's just that they don't
follow the calling convention that HAVE_COPY_THREAD_TLS implies. That
means all architectures can be switched over to select
HAVE_COPY_THREAD_TLS. Once that is done we can remove that macro (yay,
less code), the unnecessary do_fork() export in kernel/fork.c, and also
rename copy_thread_tls() back to copy_thread(). At this point
copy_thread() becomes the main architecture specific part of process
creation but it will be the same layout and calling convention for all
architectures. (Once that is done we can probably cleanup each
copy_thread() function even more but that's for the future.)
Since ia64 does support CLONE_SETTLS there's no reason to not select
HAVE_COPY_THREAD_TLS. This brings us one step closer to getting rid of
the copy_thread()/copy_thread_tls() split we still have and ultimately
the HAVE_COPY_THREAD_TLS define in general. A lot of architectures have
already converted and ia64 is one of the few hat haven't yet. This also
unblocks implementing the clone3() syscall on ia64. Once that is done we
can get of another ARCH_WANTS_* macro.
Once Any architecture that supports HAVE_COPY_THREAD_TLS cannot call the
do_fork() helper anymore. This is fine and intended since it should be
removed in favor of the new, cleaner _do_fork() calling convention based
on struct kernel_clone_args. In fact, most architectures have already
switched. With this patch, ia64 joins the other arches which can't use
the fork(), vfork(), clone(), clone3() syscalls directly and who follow
the new process creation calling convention that is based on struct
kernel_clone_args which we introduced a while back. This means less
custom assembly in the architectures entry path to set up the registers
before calling into the process creation helper and it is easier to to
support new features without having to adapt calling conventions. It
also unifies all process creation paths between fork(), vfork(),
clone(), and clone3(). (We can't fix the ABI nightmare that legacy
clone() is but we can prevent stuff like this happening in the future.)
Well, the first version I nothing to test this with. I don't know how to
reasonably explain what happened but thanks to Adrian I'm now sitting at
home next to a HP Integrity RX2600. I've done some testing and my initial
version had a bug that became obvious when I took a closer look. The switch

Pull thread fixes from Christian Brauner:
"This contains a series of patches to fix CLONE_SETTLS when used with
clone3().
The clone3() syscall passes the tls argument through struct clone_args
instead of a register. This means, all architectures that do not
implement copy_thread_tls() but still support CLONE_SETTLS via
copy_thread() expecting the tls to be located in a register argument
based on clone() are currently unfortunately broken. Their tls value
will be garbage.
The patch series fixes this on all architectures that currently define
__ARCH_WANT_SYS_CLONE3. It also adds a compile-time check to ensure
that any architecture that enables clone3() in the future is forced to
also implement copy_thread_tls().
My ultimate goal is to get rid of the copy_thread()/copy_thread_tls()
split and just have copy_thread_tls() at some point in the not too
distant future (Maybe even renaming copy_thread_tls() back to simply
copy_thread() once the old function is ripped from all arches). This
is dependent now on all arches supporting clone3().
While all relevant arches do that now there are still four missing:
ia64, m68k, sh and sparc. They have the system call reserved, but not
implemented. Once they all implement clone3() we can get rid of
ARCH_WANT_SYS_CLONE3 and HAVE_COPY_THREAD_TLS.
Note that in the meantime, m68k has already switched to the new calling
convention. And I've got sparc patches acked by Dave, too.

Merge non-faulting memory access cleanups from Christoph Hellwig:
"Andrew and I decided to drop the patches implementing your suggested
rename of the probe_kernel_* and probe_user_* helpers from -mm as
there were way to many conflicts.
After -rc1 might be a good time for this as all the conflicts are
resolved now"
This also adds a type safety checking patch on top of the renaming
series to make the subtle behavioral difference between 'get_user()' and
'get_kernel_nofault()' less potentially dangerous and surprising.
* emailed patches from Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de>:
maccess: make get_kernel_nofault() check for minimal type compatibility
maccess: rename probe_kernel_address to get_kernel_nofault
maccess: rename probe_user_{read,write} to copy_{from,to}_user_nofault
maccess: rename probe_kernel_{read,write} to copy_{from,to}_kernel_nofault
There is a regular need in the kernel to provide a way to declare having a
dynamically sized set of trailing elements in a structure. Kernel code should
always use “flexible array members”[1] for these cases. The older style of
one-element or zero-length arrays should no longer be used[2].
