If an attacker can cause a controlled kernel stack overflow, overwriting
the restart block is a very juicy exploit target. This is because the
restart_block is held in the same memory allocation as the kernel stack.
Moving the restart block to struct task_struct prevents this exploit by
making the restart_block harder to locate.
Note that there are other fields in thread_info that are also easy
targets, at least on some architectures.
It's also a decent simplification, since the restart code is more or less
identical on all architectures.

LKP has triggered a compiler warning after my recent patch "mm: account
pmd page tables to the process":
mm/mmap.c: In function 'exit_mmap':
>> mm/mmap.c:2857:2: warning: right shift count >= width of type [enabled by default]
The code:
> 2857 WARN_ON(mm_nr_pmds(mm) >
2858 round_up(FIRST_USER_ADDRESS, PUD_SIZE) >> PUD_SHIFT);
In this, on tile, we have FIRST_USER_ADDRESS defined as 0. round_up() has
the same type -- int. PUD_SHIFT.
I think the best way to fix it is to define FIRST_USER_ADDRESS as unsigned
long. On every arch for consistency.

Pull networking updates from David Miller:
1) New offloading infrastructure and example 'rocker' driver for
offloading of switching and routing to hardware.
This work was done by a large group of dedicated individuals, not
limited to: Scott Feldman, Jiri Pirko, Thomas Graf, John Fastabend,
Jamal Hadi Salim, Andy Gospodarek, Florian Fainelli, Roopa Prabhu
2) Start making the networking operate on IOV iterators instead of
modifying iov objects in-situ during transfers. Thanks to Al Viro
and Herbert Xu.
3) A set of new netlink interfaces for the TIPC stack, from Richard
Alpe.
4) Remove unnecessary looping during ipv6 routing lookups, from Martin
KaFai Lau.
5) Add PAUSE frame generation support to gianfar driver, from Matei
Pavaluca.
6) Allow for larger reordering levels in TCP, which are easily
achievable in the real world right now, from Eric Dumazet.
7) Add a variable of napi_schedule that doesn't need to disable cpu
interrupts, from Eric Dumazet.
8) Use a doubly linked list to optimize neigh_parms_release(), from
Nicolas Dichtel.
9) Various enhancements to the kernel BPF verifier, and allow eBPF
programs to actually be attached to sockets. From Alexei
Starovoitov.

As there are now no remaining users of arch_fast_hash(), lets kill
it entirely.
This basically reverts commit 71ae8aac3e19 ("lib: introduce arch
optimized hash library") and follow-up work, that is f.e., commit
237217546d44 ("lib: hash: follow-up fixups for arch hash"),
commit e3fec2f74f7f ("lib: Add missing arch generic-y entries for
asm-generic/hash.h") and last but not least commit 6a02652df511
("perf tools: Fix include for non x86 architectures").

The x86 MPX patch set calls arch_unmap() and arch_bprm_mm_init()
from fs/exec.c, so we need at least a stub for them in all
architectures. They are only called under an #ifdef for
CONFIG_MMU=y, so we can at least restict this to architectures
with MMU support.
blackfin/c6x have no MMU support, so do not call arch_unmap().
They also do not include mm_hooks.h or mmu_context.h at all and
do not need to be touched.
s390, um and unicore32 do not use asm-generic/mm_hooks.h, so got
their own arch_unmap() versions. (I also moved um's
arch_dup_mmap() to be closer to the other mm_hooks.h functions).
xtensa only includes mm_hooks when MMU=y, which should be fine
since arch_unmap() is called only from MMU=y code.
For the rest, we use the stub copies of these functions in
asm-generic/mm_hook.h.
I cross compiled defconfigs for cris (to check NOMMU) and s390
to make sure that this works. I also checked a 64-bit build
of UML and all my normal x86 builds including PARAVIRT on and
off.

1) uml kernel bootmem managed through bootmem_data->node_bootmem_map,
not the struct page array, so the array is unnecessary.
2) the bootmem struct page array has been pointed by a *local* pointer,
struct page *map, in init_maps function. The array can be accessed only
in init_maps's scope. As a result, uml kernel wastes about 1% of total
memory.

The core mm code will provide a default gate area based on
FIXADDR_USER_START and FIXADDR_USER_END if
!defined(__HAVE_ARCH_GATE_AREA) && defined(AT_SYSINFO_EHDR).
This default is only useful for ia64. arm64, ppc, s390, sh, tile, 64-bit
UML, and x86_32 have their own code just to disable it. arm, 32-bit UML,
and x86_64 have gate areas, but they have their own implementations.
This gets rid of the default and moves the code into ia64.
This should save some code on architectures without a gate area: it's now
possible to inline the gate_area functions in the default case.

The mmu-gather operation 'tlb_flush_mmu()' has done two things: the
actual tlb flush operation, and the batched freeing of the pages that
the TLB entries pointed at.
This splits the operation into separate phases, so that the forced
batched flushing done by zap_pte_range() can now do the actual TLB flush
while still holding the page table lock, but delay the batched freeing
of all the pages to after the lock has been dropped.
This in turn allows us to avoid a race condition between
set_page_dirty() (as called by zap_pte_range() when it finds a dirty
shared memory pte) and page_mkclean(): because we now flush all the
dirty page data from the TLB's while holding the pte lock,
page_mkclean() will be held up walking the (recently cleaned) page
tables until after the TLB entries have been flushed from all CPU's.

It can be triggered only on systems which do a lot of task

~ 0.5% will always die without this fix.

As UML uses an alternative signal stack we cannot use
the current stack pointer for stack dumping if UML itself
dies by SIGSEGV. To bypass this issue we save regs taken
from mcontext in our segv handler into thread_struct and
use these regs to obtain the stack pointer in show_stack().

Richard reported that some UML processes survive if the UML
main process receives a SIGTERM.
This issue was caused by a wrongly placed signal(SIGTERM, SIG_DFL)
in init_new_thread_signals().
It disabled the UML exit handler accidently for some processes.
The correct solution is to disable the fatal handler for all
UML helper threads/processes.
Such that last_ditch_exit() does not get called multiple times
and all processes can exit due to SIGTERM.

UML needs it's own probe_kernel_read() to handle kernel
mode faults correctly.
The implementation uses mincore() on the host side to detect
whether a page is owned by the UML kernel process.
This fixes also a possible crash when sysrq-t is used.
Starting with 3.10 sysrq-t calls probe_kernel_read() to
read details from the kernel workers. As kernel worker are
completely async pointers may turn NULL while reading them.

Ben Tebulin reported:
"Since v3.7.2 on two independent machines a very specific Git
repository fails in 9/10 cases on git-fsck due to an SHA1/memory
failures. This only occurs on a very specific repository and can be
reproduced stably on two independent laptops. Git mailing list ran
out of ideas and for me this looks like some very exotic kernel issue"
and bisected the failure to the backport of commit 53a59fc67f97 ("mm:
limit mmu_gather batching to fix soft lockups on !CONFIG_PREEMPT").
That commit itself is not actually buggy, but what it does is to make it
much more likely to hit the partial TLB invalidation case, since it
introduces a new case in tlb_next_batch() that previously only ever
happened when running out of memory.
The real bug is that the TLB gather virtual memory range setup is subtly
buggered. It was introduced in commit 597e1c3580b7 ("mm/mmu_gather:
enable tlb flush range in generic mmu_gather"), and the range handling
was already fixed at least once in commit e6c495a96ce0 ("mm: fix the TLB
range flushed when __tlb_remove_page() runs out of slots"), but that fix
was not complete.
The problem with the TLB gather virtual address range is that it isn't
set up by the initial tlb_gather_mmu() initialization (which didn't get
the TLB range information), but it is set up ad-hoc later by the
functions that actually flush the TLB. And so any such case that forgot
to update the TLB range entries would potentially miss TLB invalidates.
Rather than try to figure out exactly which particular ad-hoc range
setup was missing (I personally suspect it's the hugetlb case in
zap_huge_pmd(), which didn't have the same logic as zap_pte_range()
did), this patch just gets rid of the problem at the source: make the
TLB range information available to tlb_gather_mmu(), and initialize it
when initializing all the other tlb gather fields.
This makes the patch larger, but conceptually much simpler. And the end
result is much more understandable; even if you want to play games with
partial ranges when invalidating the TLB contents in chunks, now the
range information is always there, and anybody who doesn't want to
bother with it won't introduce subtle bugs.
Ben verified that this fixes his problem.

We are planning to convert the dynticks Kconfig options layout
into a choice menu. The user must be able to easily pick
any of the following implementations: constant periodic tick,
idle dynticks, full dynticks.
As this implies a mutual exclusion, the two dynticks implementions
need to converge on the selection of a common Kconfig option in order
to ease the sharing of a common infrastructure.
It would thus seem pretty natural to reuse CONFIG_NO_HZ to
that end. It already implements all the idle dynticks code
and the full dynticks depends on all that code for now.
So ideally the choice menu would propose CONFIG_NO_HZ_IDLE and
CONFIG_NO_HZ_EXTENDED then both would select CONFIG_NO_HZ.
On the other hand we want to stay backward compatible: if
CONFIG_NO_HZ is set in an older config file, we want to
enable CONFIG_NO_HZ_IDLE by default.
But we can't afford both at the same time or we run into
a circular dependency:
1) CONFIG_NO_HZ_IDLE and CONFIG_NO_HZ_EXTENDED both select
CONFIG_NO_HZ
2) If CONFIG_NO_HZ is set, we default to CONFIG_NO_HZ_IDLE
We might be able to support that from Kconfig/Kbuild but it
may not be wise to introduce such a confusing behaviour.
So to solve this, create a new CONFIG_NO_HZ_COMMON option
which gathers the common code between idle and full dynticks
(that common code for now is simply the idle dynticks code)
and select it from their referring Kconfig.
Then we'll later create CONFIG_NO_HZ_IDLE and map CONFIG_NO_HZ
to it for backward compatibility.

In order to promote interoperability between userspace tracers and ftrace,
add a trace_clock that reports raw TSC values which will then be recorded
in the ring buffer. Userspace tracers that also record TSCs are then on
exactly the same time base as the kernel and events can be unambiguously
interlaced.
Tested: Enabled a tracepoint and the "tsc" trace_clock and saw very large
timestamp values.
v2:
Move arch-specific bits out of generic code.
v3:
Rename "x86-tsc", cleanups
v7:

alpha/arm/x86 use of those. Plus sanitizing the asm glue and
do_notify_resume() on alpha, fixing the "disabled irq while running

At that point the rest of kernel_thread/kernel_execve/sys_execve work
can be done independently for different architectures. The only
pending bits that do depend on having all architectures converted are
restrictred to fs/* and kernel/* - that'll obviously have to wait for
the next cycle.
I thought we'd have to wait for all of them done before we start
eliminating the longjump-style insanity in kernel_execve(), but it
turned out there's a very simple way to do that without flagday-style
changes."

The userspace part of UML uses the asm-offsets.h generator mechanism to
create definitions for UM_KERN_<LEVEL> that match the in-kernel
KERN_<LEVEL> constant definitions.
As of commit 04d2c8c83d0e3ac5f78aeede51babb3236200112 ("printk: convert
the format for KERN_<LEVEL> to a 2 byte pattern"), KERN_<LEVEL> is no
longer expanded to the literal '"<LEVEL>"', but to '"\001" "LEVEL"', i.e.
it contains two parts.
However, the combo of DEFINE_STR() in
arch/x86/um/shared/sysdep/kernel-offsets.h and sed-y in Kbuild doesn't
support string literals consisting of multiple parts. Hence for all
UM_KERN_<LEVEL> definitions, only the SOH character is retained in the actual
definition, while the remainder ends up in the comment. E.g. in
include/generated/asm-offsets.h we get
#define UM_KERN_INFO "\001" /* "6" KERN_INFO */
instead of
#define UM_KERN_INFO "\001" "6" /* KERN_INFO */
This causes spurious '^A' output in some kernel messages:
Calibrating delay loop... 4640.76 BogoMIPS (lpj=23203840)
pid_max: default: 32768 minimum: 301

^AChecking that host ptys support output SIGIO...Yes
^AChecking that host ptys support SIGIO on close...No, enabling workaround
^AUsing 2.6 host AIO
NET: Registered protocol family 16
bio: create slab <bio-0> at 0
Switching to clocksource itimer
To fix this:
- Move the mapping from UM_KERN_<LEVEL> to KERN_<LEVEL> from
arch/um/include/shared/common-offsets.h to
arch/um/include/shared/user.h, which is preincluded for all userspace
parts,
- Preinclude include/linux/kern_levels.h for all userspace parts, to
obtain the in-kernel KERN_<LEVEL> constant definitions. This doesn't
violate the kernel/userspace separation, as include/linux/kern_levels.h
is self-contained and doesn't expose any other kernel internals.
- Remove the now unused STR() and DEFINE_STR() macros.
