Commit 3e5903eb9cff ("vsprintf: Prevent crash when dereferencing invalid
pointers") prevents most crash except for %pD.
There is an additional pointer dereferencing before dentry_name.
At least, vma->file can be NULL and be passed to printk %pD in
print_bad_pte, which can cause crash.
This patch fixes it with introducing a new file_dentry_name.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/joro/iommu
Pull iommu updates from Joerg Roedel:
- Make the dma-iommu code more generic so that it can be used outside
of the ARM context with other IOMMU drivers. Goal is to make use of
it on x86 too.
- Generic IOMMU domain support for the Intel VT-d driver. This driver
now makes more use of common IOMMU code to allocate default domains
for the devices it handles.
- An IOMMU fault reporting API to userspace. With that the IOMMU fault
handling can be done in user-space, for example to forward the faults
to a VM.
- Better handling for reserved regions requested by the firmware. These
can be 'relaxed' now, meaning that those don't prevent a device being
attached to a VM.
- Suspend/Resume support for the Renesas IOMMU driver.
- Added support for dumping SVA related fields of the DMAR table in the
Intel VT-d driver via debugfs.
- A pile of smaller fixes and cleanups.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/linusw/linux-gpio
Pull GPIO updates from Linus Walleij:
"This is the big slew of GPIO changes for the v5.3 kernel cycle. This
is mostly incremental work this time.
Three important things:
- The FMC subsystem is deleted through my tree. This happens through
GPIO as its demise was discussed in relation to a patch decoupling
its GPIO implementation from the standard way of handling GPIO. As
it turns out, that is not the only subsystem it reimplements and
the authors think it is better do scratch it and start over using
the proper kernel subsystems than try to polish the rust shiny. See
the commit (ACKed by the maintainers) for details.
- Arnd made a small devres patch that was ACKed by Greg and goes into
the device core.
- SPDX header change colissions may happen, because at times I've
seen that quite a lot changed during the -rc:s in regards to SPDX.
(It is good stuff, tglx has me convinced, and it is worth the
occasional pain.)
Apart from this is is nothing controversial or problematic.
Summary:
Core:
- When a gpio_chip request GPIOs from itself, it can now fully
control the line characteristics, both machine and consumer flags.
This makes a lot of sense, but took some time before I figured out
that this is how it has to work.
- Several smallish documentation fixes.
New drivers:
- The PCA953x driver now supports the TI TCA9539.
- The DaVinci driver now supports the K3 AM654 SoCs.
Driver improvements:
- Major overhaul and hardening of the OMAP driver by Russell King.
- Starting to move some drivers to the new API passing irq_chip along
with the gpio_chip when adding the gpio_chip instead of adding it
separately.
Unrelated:
- Delete the FMC subsystem"

Pull force_sig() argument change from Eric Biederman:
"A source of error over the years has been that force_sig has taken a
task parameter when it is only safe to use force_sig with the current
task.
The force_sig function is built for delivering synchronous signals
such as SIGSEGV where the userspace application caused a synchronous
fault (such as a page fault) and the kernel responded with a signal.
Because the name force_sig does not make this clear, and because the
force_sig takes a task parameter the function force_sig has been
abused for sending other kinds of signals over the years. Slowly those
have been fixed when the oopses have been tracked down.
This set of changes fixes the remaining abusers of force_sig and
carefully rips out the task parameter from force_sig and friends
making this kind of error almost impossible in the future"

Pull keyring ACL support from David Howells:
"This changes the permissions model used by keys and keyrings to be
based on an internal ACL by the following means:
- Replace the permissions mask internally with an ACL that contains a
list of ACEs, each with a specific subject with a permissions mask.
Potted default ACLs are available for new keys and keyrings.
ACE subjects can be macroised to indicate the UID and GID specified
on the key (which remain). Future commits will be able to add
additional subject types, such as specific UIDs or domain
tags/namespaces.
Also split a number of permissions to give finer control. Examples
include splitting the revocation permit from the change-attributes
permit, thereby allowing someone to be granted permission to revoke
a key without allowing them to change the owner; also the ability
to join a keyring is split from the ability to link to it, thereby
stopping a process accessing a keyring by joining it and thus
acquiring use of possessor permits.
- Provide a keyctl to allow the granting or denial of one or more
permits to a specific subject. Direct access to the ACL is not
granted, and the ACL cannot be viewed"

Pull keyring namespacing from David Howells:
"These patches help make keys and keyrings more namespace aware.
Firstly some miscellaneous patches to make the process easier:
- Simplify key index_key handling so that the word-sized chunks
assoc_array requires don't have to be shifted about, making it
easier to add more bits into the key.
- Cache the hash value in the key so that we don't have to calculate
on every key we examine during a search (it involves a bunch of
multiplications).
- Allow keying_search() to search non-recursively.
Then the main patches:
- Make it so that keyring names are per-user_namespace from the point
of view of KEYCTL_JOIN_SESSION_KEYRING so that they're not
accessible cross-user_namespace.
keyctl_capabilities() shows KEYCTL_CAPS1_NS_KEYRING_NAME for this.
- Move the user and user-session keyrings to the user_namespace
rather than the user_struct. This prevents them propagating
directly across user_namespaces boundaries (ie. the KEY_SPEC_*
flags will only pick from the current user_namespace).
- Make it possible to include the target namespace in which the key
shall operate in the index_key. This will allow the possibility of
multiple keys with the same description, but different target
domains to be held in the same keyring.
keyctl_capabilities() shows KEYCTL_CAPS1_NS_KEY_TAG for this.
- Make it so that keys are implicitly invalidated by removal of a
domain tag, causing them to be garbage collected.
- Institute a network namespace domain tag that allows keys to be
differentiated by the network namespace in which they operate. New
keys that are of a type marked 'KEY_TYPE_NET_DOMAIN' are assigned
the network domain in force when they are created.
- Make it so that the desired network namespace can be handed down
into the request_key() mechanism. This allows AFS, NFS, etc. to
request keys specific to the network namespace of the superblock.
This also means that the keys in the DNS record cache are
thenceforth namespaced, provided network filesystems pass the
appropriate network namespace down into dns_query().
For DNS, AFS and NFS are good, whilst CIFS and Ceph are not. Other
cache keyrings, such as idmapper keyrings, also need to set the
domain tag - for which they need access to the network namespace of
the superblock"

Pull request_key improvements from David Howells:
"These are all request_key()-related, including a fix and some improvements:
- Fix the lack of a Link permission check on a key found by
request_key(), thereby enabling request_key() to link keys that
don't grant this permission to the target keyring (which must still
grant Write permission).
Note that the key must be in the caller's keyrings already to be
found.
- Invalidate used request_key authentication keys rather than
revoking them, so that they get cleaned up immediately rather than
hanging around till the expiry time is passed.
- Move the RCU locks outwards from the keyring search functions so
that a request_key_rcu() can be provided. This can be called in RCU
mode, so it can't sleep and can't upcall - but it can be called
from LOOKUP_RCU pathwalk mode.
- Cache the latest positive result of request_key*() temporarily in
task_struct so that filesystems that make a lot of request_key()
calls during pathwalk can take advantage of it to avoid having to
redo the searching. This requires CONFIG_KEYS_REQUEST_CACHE=y.
It is assumed that the key just found is likely to be used multiple
times in each step in an RCU pathwalk, and is likely to be reused
for the next step too.
Note that the cleanup of the cache is done on TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME,
just before userspace resumes, and on exit"

- Implement a keyctl to allow a key to be moved from one keyring to

Pull tpm updates from Jarkko Sakkinen:
"This contains two critical bug fixes and support for obtaining TPM
events triggered by ExitBootServices().
For the latter I have to give a quite verbose explanation not least
because I had to revisit all the details myself to remember what was
going on in Matthew's patches.
The preboot software stack maintains an event log that gets entries
every time something gets hashed to any of the PCR registers. What
gets hashed could be a component to be run or perhaps log of some
actions taken just to give couple of coarse examples. In general,
anything relevant for the boot process that the preboot software does
gets hashed and a log entry with a specific event type [1].
The main application for this is remote attestation and the reason why
it is useful is nicely put in the very first section of [1]:
"Attestation is used to provide information about the platform’s
state to a challenger. However, PCR contents are difficult to
interpret; therefore, attestation is typically more useful when
the PCR contents are accompanied by a measurement log. While not
trusted on their own, the measurement log contains a richer set of
information than do the PCR contents. The PCR contents are used to
provide the validation of the measurement log."
Because EFI_TCG2_PROTOCOL.GetEventLog() is not available after calling
ExitBootServices(), Linux EFI stub copies the event log to a custom
configuration table. Unfortunately, ExitBootServices() also generates
events and obviously these events do not get copied to that table.
Luckily firmware does this for us by providing a configuration table
identified by EFI_TCG2_FINAL_EVENTS_TABLE_GUID.
This essentially contains necessary changes to provide the full event
log for the use the user space that is concatenated from these two
partial event logs [2]"
[1] https://trustedcomputinggroup.org/resource/pc-client-specific-platform-firmware-profile-specification/

Pull locking updates from Ingo Molnar:
"The main changes in this cycle are:
- rwsem scalability improvements, phase #2, by Waiman Long, which are
rather impressive:
"On a 2-socket 40-core 80-thread Skylake system with 40 reader
and writer locking threads, the min/mean/max locking operations
done in a 5-second testing window before the patchset were:
40 readers, Iterations Min/Mean/Max = 1,807/1,808/1,810
40 writers, Iterations Min/Mean/Max = 1,807/50,344/151,255
After the patchset, they became:
40 readers, Iterations Min/Mean/Max = 30,057/31,359/32,741
40 writers, Iterations Min/Mean/Max = 94,466/95,845/97,098"
There's a lot of changes to the locking implementation that makes
it similar to qrwlock, including owner handoff for more fair
locking.
Another microbenchmark shows how across the spectrum the
improvements are:
"With a locking microbenchmark running on 5.1 based kernel, the
total locking rates (in kops/s) on a 2-socket Skylake system
with equal numbers of readers and writers (mixed) before and
after this patchset were:
# of Threads Before Patch After Patch
------------ ------------ -----------
2 2,618 4,193
4 1,202 3,726
8 802 3,622
16 729 3,359
32 319 2,826
64 102 2,744"
The changes are extensive and the patch-set has been through
several iterations addressing various locking workloads. There
might be more regressions, but unless they are pathological I
believe we want to use this new implementation as the baseline
going forward.
- jump-label optimizations by Daniel Bristot de Oliveira: the primary
motivation was to remove IPI disturbance of isolated RT-workload
CPUs, which resulted in the implementation of batched jump-label
updates. Beyond the improvement of the real-time characteristics
kernel, in one test this patchset improved static key update
overhead from 57 msecs to just 1.4 msecs - which is a nice speedup
as well.
- atomic64_t cross-arch type cleanups by Mark Rutland: over the last
~10 years of atomic64_t existence the various types used by the
APIs only had to be self-consistent within each architecture -
which means they became wildly inconsistent across architectures.
Mark puts and end to this by reworking all the atomic64
implementations to use 's64' as the base type for atomic64_t, and
to ensure that this type is consistently used for parameters and
return values in the API, avoiding further problems in this area.
- A large set of small improvements to lockdep by Yuyang Du: type
cleanups, output cleanups, function return type and othr cleanups
all around the place.
- A set of percpu ops cleanups and fixes by Peter Zijlstra.
