The primary observation is that nohz enter/exit is always from the
current CPU, therefore NOHZ_TICK_STOPPED does not in fact need to be
an atomic.
Secondary is that we appear to have 2 nearly identical hooks in the
nohz enter code, set_cpu_sd_state_idle() and
nohz_balance_enter_idle(). Fold the whole set_cpu_sd_state thing into
nohz_balance_{enter,exit}_idle.
Removes an atomic op from both enter and exit paths.

Do the following cleanups and simplifications:
- sched/sched.h already includes <asm/paravirt.h>, so no need to
include it in sched/core.c again.
- order the <linux/sched/*.h> headers alphabetically
- add all <linux/sched/*.h> headers to kernel/sched/sched.h
- remove all unnecessary includes from the .c files that
are already included in kernel/sched/sched.h.
Finally, make all scheduler .c files use a single common header:
#include "sched.h"
... which now contains a union of the relied upon headers.
This makes the various .c files easier to read and easier to handle.

Each read from a file in efivarfs results in two calls to EFI
(one to get the file size, another to get the actual data).
On X86 these EFI calls result in broadcast system management
interrupts (SMI) which affect performance of the whole system.
A malicious user can loop performing reads from efivarfs bringing
the system to its knees.
Linus suggested per-user rate limit to solve this.
So we add a ratelimit structure to "user_struct" and initialize
it for the root user for no limit. When allocating user_struct for
other users we set the limit to 100 per second. This could be used
for other places that want to limit the rate of some detrimental
user action.
In efivarfs if the limit is exceeded when reading, we take an
interruptible nap for 50ms and check the rate limit again.

Allow expedited membarrier to be used for data shared between processes
through shared memory.
Processes wishing to receive the membarriers register with
MEMBARRIER_CMD_REGISTER_GLOBAL_EXPEDITED. Those which want to issue
membarrier invoke MEMBARRIER_CMD_GLOBAL_EXPEDITED.
This allows extremely simple kernel-level implementation: we have almost
everything we need with the PRIVATE_EXPEDITED barrier code. All we need
to do is to add a flag in the mm_struct that will be used to check
whether we need to send the IPI to the current thread of each CPU.
There is a slight downside to this approach compared to targeting
specific shared memory users: when performing a membarrier operation,
all registered "global" receivers will get the barrier, even if they
don't share a memory mapping with the sender issuing
MEMBARRIER_CMD_GLOBAL_EXPEDITED.
This registration approach seems to fit the requirement of not
disturbing processes that really deeply care about real-time: they
simply should not register with MEMBARRIER_CMD_REGISTER_GLOBAL_EXPEDITED.
In order to align the membarrier command names, the "MEMBARRIER_CMD_SHARED"
command is renamed to "MEMBARRIER_CMD_GLOBAL", keeping an alias of
MEMBARRIER_CMD_SHARED to MEMBARRIER_CMD_GLOBAL for UAPI header backward
compatibility.

Pull hardened usercopy whitelisting from Kees Cook:
"Currently, hardened usercopy performs dynamic bounds checking on slab
cache objects. This is good, but still leaves a lot of kernel memory
available to be copied to/from userspace in the face of bugs.
To further restrict what memory is available for copying, this creates
a way to whitelist specific areas of a given slab cache object for
copying to/from userspace, allowing much finer granularity of access
control.
Slab caches that are never exposed to userspace can declare no
whitelist for their objects, thereby keeping them unavailable to
userspace via dynamic copy operations. (Note, an implicit form of
whitelisting is the use of constant sizes in usercopy operations and
get_user()/put_user(); these bypass all hardened usercopy checks since
these sizes cannot change at runtime.)
This new check is WARN-by-default, so any mistakes can be found over
the next several releases without breaking anyone's system.
The series has roughly the following sections:
- remove %p and improve reporting with offset
- prepare infrastructure and whitelist kmalloc
- update VFS subsystem with whitelists
- update SCSI subsystem with whitelists
- update network subsystem with whitelists
- update process memory with whitelists
- update per-architecture thread_struct with whitelists
- update KVM with whitelists and fix ioctl bug
- mark all other allocations as not whitelisted
- update lkdtm for more sensible test overage"

Pull siginfo cleanups from Eric Biederman:
"Long ago when 2.4 was just a testing release copy_siginfo_to_user was
made to copy individual fields to userspace, possibly for efficiency
and to ensure initialized values were not copied to userspace.
Unfortunately the design was complex, it's assumptions unstated, and
humans are fallible and so while it worked much of the time that
design failed to ensure unitialized memory is not copied to userspace.
This set of changes is part of a new design to clean up siginfo and
simplify things, and hopefully make the siginfo handling robust enough
that a simple inspection of the code can be made to ensure we don't
copy any unitializied fields to userspace.
The design is to unify struct siginfo and struct compat_siginfo into a
single definition that is shared between all architectures so that
anyone adding to the set of information shared with struct siginfo can
see the whole picture. Hopefully ensuring all future si_code
assignments are arch independent.
The design is to unify copy_siginfo_to_user32 and
copy_siginfo_from_user32 so that those function are complete and cope
with all of the different cases documented in signinfo_layout. I don't
think there was a single implementation of either of those functions
that was complete and correct before my changes unified them.
The design is to introduce a series of helpers including
force_siginfo_fault that take the values that are needed in struct
siginfo and build the siginfo structure for their callers. Ensuring
struct siginfo is built correctly.
The remaining work for 4.17 (unless someone thinks it is post -rc1
material) is to push usage of those helpers down into the
architectures so that architecture specific code will not need to deal
with the fiddly work of intializing struct siginfo, and then when
struct siginfo is guaranteed to be fully initialized change copy
siginfo_to_user into a simple wrapper around copy_to_user.
Further there is work in progress on the issues that have been
documented requires arch specific knowledge to sort out.
The changes below fix or at least document all of the issues that have
been found with siginfo generation. Then proceed to unify struct
siginfo the 32 bit helpers that copy siginfo to and from userspace,
and generally clean up anything that is not arch specific with regards
to siginfo generation.
It is a lot but with the unification you can of siginfo you can
already see the code reduction in the kernel"

There are so many places that build struct siginfo by hand that at
least one of them is bound to get it wrong. A handful of cases in the
kernel arguably did just that when using the errno field of siginfo to
pass no errno values to userspace. The usage is limited to a single
si_code so at least does not mess up anything else.
Encapsulate this questionable pattern in a helper function so
that the userspace ABI is preserved.
Update all of the places that use this pattern to use the new helper
function.

The helpers added are:
send_sig_mceerr
force_sig_mceerr
force_sig_bnderr
force_sig_pkuerr
Filling out siginfo properly can ge tricky. Especially for these
specialized cases where the temptation is to share code with other
cases which use a different subset of siginfo fields. Unfortunately
that code sharing frequently results in bugs with the wrong siginfo
fields filled in, and makes it harder to verify that the siginfo
structure was properly initialized.
Provide these helpers instead that get all of the details right, and
guarantee that siginfo is properly initialized.
send_sig_mceerr and force_sig_mceer are a little special as two si
codes BUS_MCEERR_AO and BUS_MCEER_AR both use the same extended
signinfo layout.

The vast majority of signals sent from architecture specific code are
simple faults. Encapsulate this reality with two helper functions so
that the nit-picky implementation of preparing a siginfo does not need
to be repeated many times on each architecture.
As only some architectures support the trapno field, make the trapno
arguement only present on those architectures.
Similary as ia64 has three fields: imm, flags, and isr that
are specific to it. Have those arguments always present on ia64
and no where else.
This ensures the architecture specific code always remembers which
fields it needs to pass into the siginfo structure.

While the blocked and saved_sigmask fields of task_struct are copied to
userspace (via sigmask_to_save() and setup_rt_frame()), it is always
copied with a static length (i.e. sizeof(sigset_t)).
The only portion of task_struct that is potentially dynamically sized and
may be copied to userspace is in the architecture-specific thread_struct
at the end of task_struct.
cache object allocation:
kernel/fork.c:
alloc_task_struct_node(...):
return kmem_cache_alloc_node(task_struct_cachep, ...);
dup_task_struct(...):
...
tsk = alloc_task_struct_node(node);
copy_process(...):
...
dup_task_struct(...)
_do_fork(...):
...
copy_process(...)
example usage trace:
arch/x86/kernel/fpu/signal.c:
__fpu__restore_sig(...):

struct task_struct *tsk = current;
struct fpu *fpu = &tsk->thread.fpu;

__copy_from_user(&fpu->state.xsave, ..., state_size);
fpu__restore_sig(...):

return __fpu__restore_sig(...);
arch/x86/kernel/signal.c:
restore_sigcontext(...):

This introduces arch_thread_struct_whitelist() to let an architecture
declare specifically where the whitelist should be within thread_struct.
If undefined, the entire thread_struct field is left whitelisted.
