Pull parisc fixes from Helge Deller:
- a patch to change the ordering of cache and TLB flushes to hopefully
fix the random segfaults we very rarely face (by Dave Anglin).
- a patch to hide the virtual kernel memory layout due to security
reasons.
- two small patches to make the kernel run more smoothly under qemu.
* 'parisc-4.16-1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/deller/parisc-linux:
parisc: Reduce irq overhead when run in qemu
parisc: Use cr16 interval timers unconditionally on qemu
parisc: Check if secondary CPUs want own PDC calls
parisc: Hide virtual kernel memory layout
parisc: Fix ordering of cache and TLB flushes
|

When run under QEMU, calling mfctl(16) creates some overhead because the
qemu timer has to be scaled and moved into the register. This patch
reduces the number of calls to mfctl(16) by moving the calls out of the
loops.
Additionally, increase the minimal time interval to 8000 cycles instead
of 500 to compensate possible QEMU delays when delivering interrupts.

When running on qemu we know that the (emulated) cr16 cpu-internal
clocks are syncronized. So let's use them unconditionally on qemu.

The architecture specification says (for 64-bit systems): PDC is a per
processor resource, and operating system software must be prepared to
manage separate pointers to PDCE_PROC for each processor. The address
of PDCE_PROC for the monarch processor is stored in the Page Zero
location MEM_PDC. The address of PDCE_PROC for each non-monarch
processor is passed in gr26 when PDCE_RESET invokes OS_RENDEZ.
Currently we still use one PDC for all CPUs, but in case we face a
machine which is following the specification let's warn about it.

The change to flush_kernel_vmap_range() wasn't sufficient to avoid the
SMP stalls. The problem is some drivers call these routines with
interrupts disabled. Interrupts need to be enabled for flush_tlb_all()
and flush_cache_all() to work. This version adds checks to ensure
interrupts are not disabled before calling routines that need IPI
interrupts. When interrupts are disabled, we now drop into slower code.
The attached change fixes the ordering of cache and TLB flushes in
several cases. When we flush the cache using the existing PTE/TLB
entries, we need to flush the TLB after doing the cache flush. We don't
need to do this when we flush the entire instruction and data caches as
these flushes don't use the existing TLB entries. The same is true for
tmpalias region flushes.
The flush_kernel_vmap_range() and invalidate_kernel_vmap_range()
routines have been updated.
Secondly, we added a new purge_kernel_dcache_range_asm() routine to
pacache.S and use it in invalidate_kernel_vmap_range(). Nominally,
purges are faster than flushes as the cache lines don't have to be
written back to memory.
Hopefully, this is sufficient to resolve the remaining problems due to
cache speculation. So far, testing indicates that this is the case. I
did work up a patch using tmpalias flushes, but there is a performance
hit because we need the physical address for each page, and we also need
to sequence access to the tmpalias flush code. This increases the
probability of stalls.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/clk/linux
Pull clk updates from Stephen Boyd:
"The core framework has a handful of patches this time around, mostly
due to the clk rate protection support added by Jerome Brunet.
This feature will allow consumers to lock in a certain rate on the
output of a clk so that things like audio playback don't hear pops
when the clk frequency changes due to shared parent clks changing
rates. Currently the clk API doesn't guarantee the rate of a clk stays
at the rate you request after clk_set_rate() is called, so this new
API will allow drivers to express that requirement.
Beyond this, the core got some debugfs pretty printing patches and a
couple minor non-critical fixes.
Looking outside of the core framework diff we have some new driver
additions and the removal of a legacy TI clk driver. Both of these hit
high in the dirstat. Also, the removal of the asm-generic/clkdev.h
file causes small one-liners in all the architecture Kbuild files.
Overall, the driver diff seems to be the normal stuff that comes all
the time to fix little problems here and there and to support new
hardware.

- Clk rate protection
- Symbolic clk flags in debugfs output
- Clk registration enabled clks while doing bookkeeping updates
New Drivers:
- Spreadtrum SC9860
- HiSilicon hi3660 stub

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/pmladek/printk
Pull printk updates from Petr Mladek:
- Add a console_msg_format command line option:
The value "default" keeps the old "[time stamp] text\n" format. The
value "syslog" allows to see the syslog-like "<log
level>[timestamp] text" format.
This feature was requested by people doing regression tests, for
example, 0day robot. They want to have both filtered and full logs
at hands.
- Reduce the risk of softlockup:
Pass the console owner in a busy loop.
This is a new approach to the old problem. It was first proposed by
Steven Rostedt on Kernel Summit 2017. It marks a context in which
the console_lock owner calls console drivers and could not sleep.
On the other side, printk() callers could detect this state and use
a busy wait instead of a simple console_trylock(). Finally, the
console_lock owner checks if there is a busy waiter at the end of
the special context and eventually passes the console_lock to the
waiter.
The hand-off works surprisingly well and helps in many situations.
Well, there is still a possibility of the softlockup, for example,
when the flood of messages stops and the last owner still has too
much to flush.
There is increasing number of people having problems with
printk-related softlockups. We might eventually need to get better
solution. Anyway, this looks like a good start and promising
direction.
- Do not allow to schedule in console_unlock() called from printk():
This reverts an older controversial commit. The reschedule helped
to avoid softlockups. But it also slowed down the console output.
This patch is obsoleted by the new console waiter logic described
above. In fact, the reschedule made the hand-off less effective.
- Deprecate "%pf" and "%pF" format specifier:
It was needed on ia64, ppc64 and parisc64 to dereference function
descriptors and show the real function address. It is done
transparently by "%ps" and "pS" format specifier now.
Sergey Senozhatsky found that all the function descriptors were in
a special elf section and could be easily detected.
- Remove printk_symbol() API:
It has been obsoleted by "%pS" format specifier, and this change
helped to remove few continuous lines and a less intuitive old API.
- Remove redundant memsets:
Sergey removed unnecessary memset when processing printk.devkmsg
command line option.

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"

Pull init_task initializer cleanups from David Howells:
"It doesn't seem useful to have the init_task in a header file rather
than in a normal source file. We could consolidate init_task handling
instead and expand out various macros.
Here's a series of patches that consolidate init_task handling:
(1) Make THREAD_SIZE available to vmlinux.lds for cris, hexagon and
openrisc.
(2) Alter the INIT_TASK_DATA linker script macro to set
init_thread_union and init_stack rather than defining these in C.
Insert init_task and init_thread_into into the init_stack area in
the linker script as appropriate to the configuration, with
different section markers so that they end up correctly ordered.
We can then get merge ia64's init_task.c into the main one.
We then have a bunch of single-use INIT_*() macros that seem only
to be macros because they used to be used per-arch. We can then
expand these in place of the user and get rid of a few lines and
a lot of backslashes.
(3) Expand INIT_TASK() in place.
(4) Expand in place various small INIT_*() macros that are defined
conditionally. Expand them and surround them by #if[n]def/#endif
in the .c file as it takes fewer lines.
(5) Expand INIT_SIGNALS() and INIT_SIGHAND() in place.
(6) Expand INIT_STRUCT_PID in place.

Among the existing architecture specific versions of
copy_siginfo_to_user32 there are several different implementation
problems. Some architectures fail to handle all of the cases in in
the siginfo union. Some architectures perform a blind copy of the
siginfo union when the si_code is negative. A blind copy suggests the
data is expected to be in 32bit siginfo format, which means that
receiving such a signal via signalfd won't work, or that the data is
in 64bit siginfo and the code is copying nonsense to userspace.
Create a single instance of copy_siginfo_to_user32 that all of the
architectures can share, and teach it to handle all of the cases in
the siginfo union correctly, with the assumption that siginfo is
stored internally to the kernel is 64bit siginfo format.
A special case is made for x86 x32 format. This is needed as presence
of both x32 and ia32 on x86_64 results in two different 32bit signal
formats. By allowing this small special case there winds up being
exactly one code base that needs to be maintained between all of the
architectures. Vastly increasing the testing base and the chances of
finding bugs.
As the x86 copy of copy_siginfo_to_user32 the call of the x86
signal_compat_build_tests were moved into sigaction_compat_abi, so
that they will keep running.

The function copy_siginfo_from_user32 is used for two things, in ptrace
since the dawn of siginfo for arbirarily modifying a signal that
user space sees, and in sigqueueinfo to send a signal with arbirary
siginfo data.
Create a single copy of copy_siginfo_from_user32 that all architectures
share, and teach it to handle all of the cases in the siginfo union.
In the generic version of copy_siginfo_from_user32 ensure that all
of the fields in siginfo are initialized so that the siginfo structure
can be safely copied to userspace if necessary.
When copying the embedded sigval union copy the si_int member. That
ensures the 32bit values passes through the kernel unchanged.

Setting si_code to 0 results in a userspace seeing an si_code of 0.
This is the same si_code as SI_USER. Posix and common sense requires
that SI_USER not be a signal specific si_code. As such this use of 0
for the si_code is a pretty horribly broken ABI.
Further use of si_code == 0 guaranteed that copy_siginfo_to_user saw a
value of __SI_KILL and now sees a value of SIL_KILL with the result
that uid and pid fields are copied and which might copying the si_addr
field by accident but certainly not by design. Making this a very
flakey implementation.
Utilizing FPE_FIXME siginfo_layout will now return SIL_FAULT and the
appropriate fields will reliably be copied.
This bug is 13 years old and parsic machines are no longer being built
so I don't know if it possible or worth fixing it. But it is at least
worth documenting this so other architectures don't make the same
mistake.
Possible ABI fixes includee:
- Send the signal without siginfo
- Don't generate a signal
- Possibly assign and use an appropriate si_code
- Don't handle cases which can't happen

Construct the init thread stack in the linker script rather than doing it
by means of a union so that ia64's init_task.c can be got rid of.
The following symbols are then made available from INIT_TASK_DATA() linker
script macro:
init_thread_union
init_stack
INIT_TASK_DATA() also expands the region to THREAD_SIZE to accommodate the
size of the init stack. init_thread_union is given its own section so that
it can be placed into the stack space in the right order. I'm assuming
that the ia64 ordering is correct and that the task_struct is first and the

We are moving towards separate kernel and module function descriptor
dereference callbacks. This patch enables it for parisc64.
For pointers that belong to the kernel
- Added __start_opd and __end_opd pointers, to track the kernel
.opd section address range;
- Added dereference_kernel_function_descriptor(). Now we
will dereference only function pointers that are within
[__start_opd, __end_opd);
For pointers that belong to a module
- Added dereference_module_function_descriptor() to handle module
function descriptor dereference. Now we will dereference only
pointers that are within [module->opd.start, module->opd.end).

Qemu for PARISC reported on a 32bit SMP parisc kernel strange failures
about "Not-handled unaligned insn 0x0e8011d6 and 0x0c2011c9."
Those opcodes evaluate to the ldcw() assembly instruction which requires
(on 32bit) an alignment of 16 bytes to ensure atomicity.
As it turns out, qemu is correct and in our assembly code in entry.S and
pacache.S we don't pay attention to the required alignment.
This patch fixes the problem by aligning the lock offset in assembly
code in the same manner as we do in our C-code.

This reverts commit 5c38602d83e584047906b41b162ababd4db4106d.
Interrupts can't be enabled early because the register saves are done on
the thread stack prior to switching to the IRQ stack. This caused stack
overflows and the thread stack needed increasing to 32k. Even then,
stack overflows still occasionally occurred.
Background:
Even with a 32 kB thread stack, I have seen instances where the thread
stack overflowed on the mx3210 buildd. Detection of stack overflow only
occurs when we have an external interrupt. When an external interrupt
occurs, we switch to the thread stack if we are not already on a kernel
stack. Then, registers and specials are saved to the kernel stack.
The bug occurs in intr_return where interrupts are reenabled prior to
returning from the interrupt. This was done incase we need to schedule
or deliver signals. However, it introduces the possibility that
multiple external interrupts may occur on the thread stack and cause a
stack overflow. These might not be detected and cause the kernel to
misbehave in random ways.
This patch changes the code back to only reenable interrupts when we are
going to schedule or deliver signals. As a result, we generally return
from an interrupt before reenabling interrupts. This minimizes the
growth of the thread stack.

Commit 0515e5999a466dfe ("bpf: introduce BPF_PROG_TYPE_PERF_EVENT
program type") introduced the bpf_perf_event_data structure which
exports the pt_regs structure. This is OK for multiple architectures
but fail for s390 and arm64 which do not export pt_regs. Programs
using them, for example, the bpf selftest fail to compile on these
architectures.
For s390, exporting the pt_regs is not an option because s390 wants
to allow changes to it. For arm64, there is a user_pt_regs structure
that covers parts of the pt_regs structure for use by user space.
To solve the broken uapi for s390 and arm64, introduce an abstract
type for pt_regs and add an asm/bpf_perf_event.h file that concretes
the type. An asm-generic header file covers the architectures that
export pt_regs today.
The arch-specific enablement for s390 and arm64 follows in separate
commits.

Pull libnvdimm and dax updates from Dan Williams:
"Save for a few late fixes, all of these commits have shipped in -next
releases since before the merge window opened, and 0day has given a
build success notification.
The ext4 touches came from Jan, and the xfs touches have Darrick's
reviewed-by. An xfstest for the MAP_SYNC feature has been through
a few round of reviews and is on track to be merged.
- Introduce MAP_SYNC and MAP_SHARED_VALIDATE, a mechanism to enable
'userspace flush' of persistent memory updates via filesystem-dax
mappings. It arranges for any filesystem metadata updates that may
be required to satisfy a write fault to also be flushed ("on disk")
before the kernel returns to userspace from the fault handler.
Effectively every write-fault that dirties metadata completes an
fsync() before returning from the fault handler. The new
MAP_SHARED_VALIDATE mapping type guarantees that the MAP_SYNC flag
is validated as supported by the filesystem's ->mmap() file
operation.
- Add support for the standard ACPI 6.2 label access methods that
replace the NVDIMM_FAMILY_INTEL (vendor specific) label methods.
This enables interoperability with environments that only implement
the standardized methods.
- Add support for the ACPI 6.2 NVDIMM media error injection methods.
- Add support for the NVDIMM_FAMILY_INTEL v1.6 DIMM commands for
latch last shutdown status, firmware update, SMART error injection,
and SMART alarm threshold control.
- Cleanup physical address information disclosures to be root-only.
- Fix revalidation of the DIMM "locked label area" status to support
dynamic unlock of the label area.
- Expand unit test infrastructure to mock the ACPI 6.2 Translate SPA
(system-physical-address) command and error injection commands.

parisc is big-endian only but sparse assumes the same endianness as the
building machine.
This is problematic for code which expect __BYTE_ORDER__ being correctly

from what gcc would.

As noted by Christoph Biedl, passing a pointer size of 4 in the new CAS
implementation causes a kernel crash. The attached patch corrects the
off by one error in the argument validity check.
In reviewing the code, I noticed that we only perform word operations
with the pointer size argument. The subi instruction intentionally uses
a word condition on 64-bit kernels. Nullification was used instead of a
cmpib instruction as the branch should never be taken. The shlw
pseudo-operation generates a depw,z instruction and it clears the target
before doing a shift left word deposit. Thus, we don't need to clip the
upper 32 bits of this argument on 64-bit kernels.
Tested with a gcc testsuite run with a 64-bit kernel. The gcc atomic
code in libgcc is the only direct user of the new CAS implementation
that I am aware of.

Currently, we're capping the values too low in the F_GETLK64 case. The
fields in that structure are 64-bit values, so we shouldn't need to do
any sort of fixup there.
Make sure we check that assumption at build time in the future however
by ensuring that the sizes we're copying will fit.
With this, we no longer need COMPAT_LOFF_T_MAX either, so remove it.

than the armed expiry time. This allows to use a single timer for
multiple timeout requirements w/o caring about the first expiry
time at the call site.
- A new NMI safe accessor to clock real time for the printk timestamp
work. Can be used by tracing, perf as well if required.
- A large number of timer setup conversions from Kees which got
collected here because either maintainers requested so or they
simply got ignored. As Kees pointed out already there are a few
trivial merge conflicts and some redundant commits which was
unavoidable due to the size of this conversion effort.

The mmap(2) syscall suffers from the ABI anti-pattern of not validating
unknown flags. However, proposals like MAP_SYNC need a mechanism to
define new behavior that is known to fail on older kernels without the
support. Define a new MAP_SHARED_VALIDATE flag pattern that is
guaranteed to fail on all legacy mmap implementations.
It is worth noting that the original proposal was for a standalone
MAP_VALIDATE flag. However, when that could not be supported by all
archs Linus observed:
I see why you *think* you want a bitmap. You think you want
a bitmap because you want to make MAP_VALIDATE be part of MAP_SYNC
etc, so that people can do
ret = mmap(NULL, size, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED
| MAP_SYNC, fd, 0);
and "know" that MAP_SYNC actually takes.
And I'm saying that whole wish is bogus. You're fundamentally
depending on special semantics, just make it explicit. It's already
not portable, so don't try to make it so.
Rename that MAP_VALIDATE as MAP_SHARED_VALIDATE, make it have a value
of 0x3, and make people do
ret = mmap(NULL, size, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED_VALIDATE
| MAP_SYNC, fd, 0);
and then the kernel side is easier too (none of that random garbage
playing games with looking at the "MAP_VALIDATE bit", but just another
case statement in that map type thing.
Boom. Done.
Similar to ->fallocate() we also want the ability to validate the
support for new flags on a per ->mmap() 'struct file_operations'
instance basis. Towards that end arrange for flags to be generically
validated against a mmap_supported_flags exported by 'struct
file_operations'. By default all existing flags are implicitly
supported, but new flags require MAP_SHARED_VALIDATE and
per-instance-opt-in.

Many user space API headers have licensing information, which is either
incomplete, badly formatted or just a shorthand for referring to the
license under which the file is supposed to be. This makes it hard for
compliance tools to determine the correct license.
Update these files with an SPDX license identifier. The identifier was
chosen based on the license information in the file.
GPL/LGPL licensed headers get the matching GPL/LGPL SPDX license
identifier with the added 'WITH Linux-syscall-note' exception, which is
the officially assigned exception identifier for the kernel syscall
exception:
NOTE! This copyright does *not* cover user programs that use kernel
services by normal system calls - this is merely considered normal use
of the kernel, and does *not* fall under the heading of "derived work".
This exception makes it possible to include GPL headers into non GPL
code, without confusing license compliance tools.
Headers which have either explicit dual licensing or are just licensed
under a non GPL license are updated with the corresponding SPDX
identifier and the GPLv2 with syscall exception identifier. The format
is:
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR SPDX-ID-OF-OTHER-LICENSE)
SPDX license identifiers are a legally binding shorthand, which can be
used instead of the full boiler plate text. The update does not remove
existing license information as this has to be done on a case by case
basis and the copyright holders might have to be consulted. This will
happen in a separate step.
