With the introduction of clone3 in commit 7f192e3cd3 ("fork: add
clone3") the effective bit width of clone_flags on all architectures was
increased from 32-bit to 64-bit, with a new type of u64 for the flags.
However, for most consumers of clone_flags the interface was not
changed from the previous type of unsigned long.
While this works fine as long as none of the new 64-bit flag bits
(CLONE_CLEAR_SIGHAND and CLONE_INTO_CGROUP) are evaluated, this is still
undesirable in terms of the principle of least surprise.
Thus, this commit fixes all relevant interfaces of the copy_thread
function that is called from copy_process to consistently pass
clone_flags as u64, so that no truncation to 32-bit integers occurs on
32-bit architectures.

Current arch_cpu_idle() is called with IRQs disabled, but will return
with IRQs enabled.
However, the very first thing the generic code does after calling
arch_cpu_idle() is raw_local_irq_disable(). This means that
architectures that can idle with IRQs disabled end up doing a
pointless 'enable-disable' dance.
Therefore, push this IRQ disabling into the idle function, meaning
that those architectures can avoid the pointless IRQ state flipping.

Add fn and fn_arg members into struct kernel_clone_args and test for
them in copy_thread (instead of testing for PF_KTHREAD | PF_IO_WORKER).
This allows any task that wants to be a user space task that only runs
in kernel mode to use this functionality.
The code on x86 is an exception and still retains a PF_KTHREAD test
because x86 unlikely everything else handles kthreads slightly
differently than user space tasks that start with a function.
The functions that created tasks that start with a function
have been updated to set ".fn" and ".fn_arg" instead of
".stack" and ".stack_size". These functions are fork_idle(),
create_io_thread(), kernel_thread(), and user_mode_thread().

With io_uring we have started supporting tasks that are for most
purposes user space tasks that exclusively run code in kernel mode.
The kernel task that exec's init and tasks that exec user mode
helpers are also user mode tasks that just run kernel code
until they call kernel execve.
Pass kernel_clone_args into copy_thread so these oddball
tasks can be supported more cleanly and easily.

There are no remaining callers of set_fs(), so CONFIG_SET_FS
can be removed globally, along with the thread_info field and
any references to it.
This turns access_ok() into a cheaper check against TASK_SIZE_MAX.
As CONFIG_SET_FS is now gone, drop all remaining references to
set_fs()/get_fs(), mm_segment_t, user_addr_max() and uaccess_kernel().

Pull io_uring thread rewrite from Jens Axboe:
"This converts the io-wq workers to be forked off the tasks in question
instead of being kernel threads that assume various bits of the
original task identity.
This kills > 400 lines of code from io_uring/io-wq, and it's the worst
part of the code. We've had several bugs in this area, and the worry
is always that we could be missing some pieces for file types doing
unusual things (recent /dev/tty example comes to mind, userfaultfd
reads installing file descriptors is another fun one... - both of
which need special handling, and I bet it's not the last weird oddity
we'll find).
With these identical workers, we can have full confidence that we're
never missing anything. That, in itself, is a huge win. Outside of
that, it's also more efficient since we're not wasting space and code
on tracking state, or switching between different states.
I'm sure we're going to find little things to patch up after this
series, but testing has been pretty thorough, from the usual
regression suite to production. Any issue that may crop up should be
manageable.
There's also a nice series of further reductions we can do on top of
this, but I wanted to get the meat of it out sooner rather than later.
The general worry here isn't that it's fundamentally broken. Most of
the little issues we've found over the last week have been related to
just changes in how thread startup/exit is done, since that's the main
difference between using kthreads and these kinds of threads. In fact,
if all goes according to plan, I want to get this into the 5.10 and
5.11 stable branches as well.
That said, the changes outside of io_uring/io-wq are:
- arch setup, simple one-liner to each arch copy_thread()
implementation.
- Removal of net and proc restrictions for io_uring, they are no
longer needed or useful"

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

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

have been; followup simply made fpregs_get() static). And without that
followup commit this bisect hazard became breakage in the mainline"

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.
