Use no-op messages in place of cross-partition interrupts when nacking a
put message in the GRU. This allows us to remove MMR's as a destination

complete_all() should only be called once, doing it twice is a clear bug.
8565adbc8214 ("drivers/misc/ti-st: fix read fw version cmd") added the
additional complete_all() call. Since we call complete_all() when
leaving the function we can drop the complete_all() call inside
true branch of the if statement.

The 93xx46 driver is using spi_dev_get() apparently just to take a copy
of the SPI device used to instantiate it but never calls spi_dev_put()
to free it. Since the device is guaranteed to exist between probe() and
remove() there should be no need for the driver to take an extra
reference to it so fix the leak by just using a straight assignment.

_PAGE_PRIVILEGED means the page can be accessed only by the kernel. This
is done to keep pte bits similar to PowerISA 3.0 Radix PTE format. User
pages are now marked by clearing _PAGE_PRIVILEGED bit.
Previously we allowed the kernel to have a privileged page in the lower
address range (USER_REGION). With this patch such access is denied.
We also prevent a kernel access to a non-privileged page in higher
address range (ie, REGION_ID != 0).
Both the above access scenarios should never happen.

This splits the _PAGE_RW bit into _PAGE_READ and _PAGE_WRITE. It also
removes the dependency on _PAGE_USER for implying read only. Few things
to note here is that, we have read implied with write and execute
permission. Hence we should always find _PAGE_READ set on hash pte
fault.
We still can't switch PROT_NONE to !(_PAGE_RWX). Auto numa depends on
marking a prot none pte _PAGE_WRITE. (For more details look at
b191f9b106ea "mm: numa: preserve PTE write permissions across a NUMA
hinting fault")

When a message is received and amthif client is not in reading state
the message is ignored and left dangling in the queue. This may happen
after one of the amthif host connections is closed w/o completing the
reading. Another client will pick up a wrong message on next read
attempt which will lead to link reset.
To prevent this the driver has to properly discard the message when
amthif client is not in reading state.

When detaching contexts, we may still have interrupts in the system
which are yet to be delivered to any CPU and be acked in the PSL.
This can result in a subsequent unrelated process getting an spurious
IRQ or an interrupt for a non-existent context.
This polls the PSL to ensure that the PSL is clear of IRQs for the
detached context, before removing the context from the idr.

Keep IRQ mappings on context teardown. This won't leak IRQs as if we
allocate the mapping again, the generic code will give the same
mapping used last time.
Doing this works around a race in the generic code. Masking the
interrupt introduces a race which can crash the kernel or result in
IRQ that is never EOIed. The lost of EOI results in all subsequent
mappings to the same HW IRQ never receiving an interrupt.
We've seen this race with cxl test cases which are doing heavy context
startup and teardown at the same time as heavy interrupt load.
A fix to the generic code is being investigated also.

The current code will set _PAGE_USER to the access flags for any
fault address, because the ~ operation will be true for all address we
take a fault on. But setting _PAGE_USER also means that the fault will
be handled only if the page table have _PAGE_USER set. Hence there is
no security hole with the current code.
Now if it is an user space access, then the change in this patch really
don't have an impact because we have (!ctx->kernel) set true
and we take the if condition true.
Now kernel context created fault on an address in the kernel range
will result in a fault loop because we will not insert the
hash pte due to access and pte permission mismatch. This patch fix
the above issue.

Failure to synchronize the PSL timebase currently prevents the
initialization of the cxl card, thus rendering the card useless. This
is too extreme for a feature which is rarely used, if at all. No
hardware AFUs or software is currently using PSL timebase.
This patch still tries to synchronize the PSL timebase when the card
is initialized, but ignores the error if it can't. Instead, it reports
a status via /sys.

PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} macros were introduced *long* time
ago with promise that one day it will be possible to implement page
cache with bigger chunks than PAGE_SIZE.
This promise never materialized. And unlikely will.
We have many places where PAGE_CACHE_SIZE assumed to be equal to
PAGE_SIZE. And it's constant source of confusion on whether
PAGE_CACHE_* or PAGE_* constant should be used in a particular case,
especially on the border between fs and mm.
Global switching to PAGE_CACHE_SIZE != PAGE_SIZE would cause to much
breakage to be doable.
Let's stop pretending that pages in page cache are special. They are
not.
The changes are pretty straight-forward:
- <foo> << (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> <foo>;
- <foo> >> (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> <foo>;
- PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} -> PAGE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN};
- page_cache_get() -> get_page();
- page_cache_release() -> put_page();
This patch contains automated changes generated with coccinelle using
script below. For some reason, coccinelle doesn't patch header files.
I've called spatch for them manually.
The only adjustment after coccinelle is revert of changes to
PAGE_CAHCE_ALIGN definition: we are going to drop it later.
There are few places in the code where coccinelle didn't reach. I'll
fix them manually in a separate patch. Comments and documentation also
will be addressed with the separate patch.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull x86 protection key support from Ingo Molnar:
"This tree adds support for a new memory protection hardware feature
that is available in upcoming Intel CPUs: 'protection keys' (pkeys).
There's a background article at LWN.net:
https://lwn.net/Articles/643797/
The gist is that protection keys allow the encoding of
user-controllable permission masks in the pte. So instead of having a
fixed protection mask in the pte (which needs a system call to change
and works on a per page basis), the user can map a (handful of)
protection mask variants and can change the masks runtime relatively
cheaply, without having to change every single page in the affected
virtual memory range.
This allows the dynamic switching of the protection bits of large
amounts of virtual memory, via user-space instructions. It also
allows more precise control of MMU permission bits: for example the
executable bit is separate from the read bit (see more about that
below).
This tree adds the MM infrastructure and low level x86 glue needed for
that, plus it adds a high level API to make use of protection keys -
if a user-space application calls:
mmap(..., PROT_EXEC);
or
mprotect(ptr, sz, PROT_EXEC);
(note PROT_EXEC-only, without PROT_READ/WRITE), the kernel will notice
this special case, and will set a special protection key on this
memory range. It also sets the appropriate bits in the Protection
Keys User Rights (PKRU) register so that the memory becomes unreadable
and unwritable.
So using protection keys the kernel is able to implement 'true'
PROT_EXEC on x86 CPUs: without protection keys PROT_EXEC implies
PROT_READ as well. Unreadable executable mappings have security
advantages: they cannot be read via information leaks to figure out
ASLR details, nor can they be scanned for ROP gadgets - and they
cannot be used by exploits for data purposes either.
We know about no user-space code that relies on pure PROT_EXEC
mappings today, but binary loaders could start making use of this new
feature to map binaries and libraries in a more secure fashion.
There is other pending pkeys work that offers more high level system
call APIs to manage protection keys - but those are not part of this
pull request.
Right now there's a Kconfig that controls this feature
(CONFIG_X86_INTEL_MEMORY_PROTECTION_KEYS) that is default enabled
(like most x86 CPU feature enablement code that has no runtime
overhead), but it's not user-configurable at the moment. If there's
any serious problem with this then we can make it configurable and/or
flip the default"

Pull networking updates from David Miller:
"Highlights:
1) Support more Realtek wireless chips, from Jes Sorenson.
2) New BPF types for per-cpu hash and arrap maps, from Alexei
Starovoitov.
3) Make several TCP sysctls per-namespace, from Nikolay Borisov.
4) Allow the use of SO_REUSEPORT in order to do per-thread processing
of incoming TCP/UDP connections. The muxing can be done using a
BPF program which hashes the incoming packet. From Craig Gallek.
5) Add a multiplexer for TCP streams, to provide a messaged based
interface. BPF programs can be used to determine the message
boundaries. From Tom Herbert.
6) Add 802.1AE MACSEC support, from Sabrina Dubroca.
7) Avoid factorial complexity when taking down an inetdev interface
with lots of configured addresses. We were doing things like
traversing the entire address less for each address removed, and
flushing the entire netfilter conntrack table for every address as
well.
8) Add and use SKB bulk free infrastructure, from Jesper Brouer.
9) Allow offloading u32 classifiers to hardware, and implement for
ixgbe, from John Fastabend.
10) Allow configuring IRQ coalescing parameters on a per-queue basis,
from Kan Liang.
11) Extend ethtool so that larger link mode masks can be supported.
From David Decotigny.
12) Introduce devlink, which can be used to configure port link types
(ethernet vs Infiniband, etc.), port splitting, and switch device
level attributes as a whole. From Jiri Pirko.
13) Hardware offload support for flower classifiers, from Amir Vadai.
14) Add "Local Checksum Offload". Basically, for a tunneled packet
the checksum of the outer header is 'constant' (because with the
checksum field filled into the inner protocol header, the payload
of the outer frame checksums to 'zero'), and we can take advantage
of that in various ways. From Edward Cree"

Pull read-only kernel memory updates from Ingo Molnar:
"This tree adds two (security related) enhancements to the kernel's
handling of read-only kernel memory:
- extend read-only kernel memory to a new class of formerly writable
kernel data: 'post-init read-only memory' via the __ro_after_init
attribute, and mark the ARM and x86 vDSO as such read-only memory.
This kind of attribute can be used for data that requires a once
per bootup initialization sequence, but is otherwise never modified
after that point.
This feature was based on the work by PaX Team and Brad Spengler.
(by Kees Cook, the ARM vDSO bits by David Brown.)
- make CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA always enabled on x86 and remove the
Kconfig option. This simplifies the kernel and also signals that
read-only memory is the default model and a first-class citizen.
(Kees Cook)"
