Pull arm64 and cross-arch updates from Catalin Marinas:
"Here's a slightly wider-spread set of updates for 5.9.
Going outside the usual arch/arm64/ area is the removal of
read_barrier_depends() series from Will and the MSI/IOMMU ID
translation series from Lorenzo.
The notable arm64 updates include ARMv8.4 TLBI range operations and
translation level hint, time namespace support, and perf.
Summary:
- Removal of the tremendously unpopular read_barrier_depends()
barrier, which is a NOP on all architectures apart from Alpha, in
favour of allowing architectures to override READ_ONCE() and do
whatever dance they need to do to ensure address dependencies
provide LOAD -> LOAD/STORE ordering.
This work also offers a potential solution if compilers are shown
to convert LOAD -> LOAD address dependencies into control
dependencies (e.g. under LTO), as weakly ordered architectures will
effectively be able to upgrade READ_ONCE() to smp_load_acquire().
The latter case is not used yet, but will be discussed further at
LPC.
- Make the MSI/IOMMU input/output ID translation PCI agnostic,
augment the MSI/IOMMU ACPI/OF ID mapping APIs to accept an input ID
bus-specific parameter and apply the resulting changes to the
device ID space provided by the Freescale FSL bus.
- arm64 support for TLBI range operations and translation table level
hints (part of the ARMv8.4 architecture version).
- Time namespace support for arm64.
- Export the virtual and physical address sizes in vmcoreinfo for
makedumpfile and crash utilities.
- CPU feature handling cleanups and checks for programmer errors
(overlapping bit-fields).
- ACPI updates for arm64: disallow AML accesses to EFI code regions
and kernel memory.
- perf updates for arm64.
- Miscellaneous fixes and cleanups, most notably PLT counting
optimisation for module loading, recordmcount fix to ignore
relocations other than R_AARCH64_CALL26, CMA areas reserved for
gigantic pages on 16K and 64K configurations.
- Trivial typos, duplicate words"

Pull unicore32 removal from Mike Rapoport:
"Remove unicore32 support.
The unicore32 port do not seem maintained for a long time now, there
is no upstream toolchain that can create unicore32 binaries and all
the links to prebuilt toolchains for unicore32 are dead. Even
compilers that were available are not supported by the kernel anymore.
Guenter Roeck says:
"I have stopped building unicore32 images since v4.19 since there is
no available compiler that is still supported by the kernel. I am
surprised that support for it has not been removed from the kernel"
However, it's worth pointing out two things:
- Guan Xuetao is still listed as maintainer and asked for the port to
be kept around the last time Arnd suggested removing it two years
ago. He promised that there would be compiler sources (presumably
llvm), but has not made those available since.
- https://github.com/gxt has patches to linux-4.9 and qemu-2.7, both
released in 2016, with patches dated early 2019. These patches
mainly restore a syscall ABI that was never part of mainline Linux
but apparently used in production. qemu-2.8 removed support for
that ABI and newer kernels (4.19+) can no longer be built with the
old toolchain, so apparently there will not be any future updates
to that git tree"

Call Trace:
<IRQ>
ftrace_ops_assist_func+0x56/0xe0
ftrace_call+0x5/0x34
tcpa_statistic_send+0x5/0x130 [ttcp_engine]
The tcpa_statistic_send is the function being kprobed. After analysis,
the root cause is that the fourth parameter regs of kprobe_ftrace_handler
is NULL. Why regs is NULL? We use the crash tool to analyze the kdump.
crash> dis tcpa_statistic_send -r
<tcpa_statistic_send>: callq 0xffffffffbd8018c0 <ftrace_caller>
The tcpa_statistic_send calls ftrace_caller instead of ftrace_regs_caller.
So it is reasonable that the fourth parameter regs of kprobe_ftrace_handler
is NULL. In theory, we should call the ftrace_regs_caller instead of the
ftrace_caller. After in-depth analysis, we found a reproducible path.
Writing a simple kernel module which starts a periodic timer. The
timer's handler is named 'kprobe_test_timer_handler'. The module
name is kprobe_test.ko.
1) insmod kprobe_test.ko
2) bpftrace -e 'kretprobe:kprobe_test_timer_handler {}'
3) echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/ftrace_enabled
4) rmmod kprobe_test
5) stop step 2) kprobe
6) insmod kprobe_test.ko
7) bpftrace -e 'kretprobe:kprobe_test_timer_handler {}'
We mark the kprobe as GONE but not disarm the kprobe in the step 4).
The step 5) also do not disarm the kprobe when unregister kprobe. So
we do not remove the ip from the filter. In this case, when the module
loads again in the step 6), we will replace the code to ftrace_caller
via the ftrace_module_enable(). When we register kprobe again, we will
not replace ftrace_caller to ftrace_regs_caller because the ftrace is
disabled in the step 3). So the step 7) will trigger kernel panic. Fix
this problem by disarming the kprobe when the module is going away.

I was attempting to use pid filtering with function_graph, but it wasn't
allowing anything to make it through. Turns out ftrace_trace_task
returns false if ftrace_ignore_pid is not-empty, which isn't correct
anymore. We're now setting it to FTRACE_PID_IGNORE if we need to ignore
that pid, otherwise it's set to the pid (which is weird considering the
name) or to FTRACE_PID_TRACE. Fix the check to check for !=
FTRACE_PID_IGNORE. With this we can now use function_graph with pid
filtering.

Add LINK_DETACH command to force-detach bpf_link without destroying it. It has
the same behavior as auto-detaching of bpf_link due to cgroup dying for
bpf_cgroup_link or net_device being destroyed for bpf_xdp_link. In such case,
bpf_link is still a valid kernel object, but is defuncts and doesn't hold BPF
program attached to corresponding BPF hook. This functionality allows users
with enough access rights to manually force-detach attached bpf_link without
killing respective owner process.
This patch implements LINK_DETACH for cgroup, xdp, and netns links, mostly
re-using existing link release handling code.

Daniel Borkmann says:
====================
pull-request: bpf 2020-07-31
The following pull-request contains BPF updates for your *net* tree.
We've added 5 non-merge commits during the last 21 day(s) which contain
a total of 5 files changed, 126 insertions(+), 18 deletions(-).
The main changes are:
1) Fix a map element leak in HASH_OF_MAPS map type, from Andrii Nakryiko.
2) Fix a NULL pointer dereference in __btf_resolve_helper_id() when no
btf_vmlinux is available, from Peilin Ye.
3) Init pos variable in __bpfilter_process_sockopt(), from Christoph Hellwig.
4) Fix a cgroup sockopt verifier test by specifying expected attach type,
from Jean-Philippe Brucker.
Note that when net gets merged into net-next later on, there is a small
merge conflict in kernel/bpf/btf.c between commit 5b801dfb7feb ("bpf: Fix
NULL pointer dereference in __btf_resolve_helper_id()") from the bpf tree
and commit 138b9a0511c7 ("bpf: Remove btf_id helpers resolving") from the
net-next tree.
Resolve as follows: remove the old hunk with the __btf_resolve_helper_id()
function. Change the btf_resolve_helper_id() so it actually tests for a
NULL btf_vmlinux and bails out:
int btf_resolve_helper_id(struct bpf_verifier_log *log,
const struct bpf_func_proto *fn, int arg)
{
int id;
if (fn->arg_type[arg] != ARG_PTR_TO_BTF_ID || !btf_vmlinux)
return -EINVAL;
id = fn->btf_id[arg];
if (!id || id > btf_vmlinux->nr_types)
return -EINVAL;
return id;
}
Let me know if you run into any others issues (CC'ing Jiri Olsa so he's in
the loop with regards to merge conflict resolution).

a21ee6055c30 ("lockdep: Change hardirq{s_enabled,_context} to per-cpu variables")
and this fresh upstream commit:
aa54ea903abb ("ARM: percpu.h: fix build error")
a21ee6055c30 is a simpler solution to the dependency problem and doesn't
further increase header hell - so this conflict resolution effectively
reverts aa54ea903abb and uses the a21ee6055c30 solution.

To improve the general usefulness of the IRQ state trace events with
KCSAN enabled, save and restore the trace information when entering and
exiting the KCSAN runtime as well as when generating a KCSAN report.
Without this, reporting the IRQ trace events (whether via a KCSAN report
or outside of KCSAN via a lockdep report) is rather useless due to
continuously being touched by KCSAN. This is because if KCSAN is
enabled, every instrumented memory access causes changes to IRQ trace
events (either by KCSAN disabling/enabling interrupts or taking
report_lock when generating a report).
Before "lockdep: Prepare for NMI IRQ state tracking", KCSAN avoided
touching the IRQ trace events via raw_local_irq_save/restore() and
lockdep_off/on().

trampolines
When inserting a module, we find all ftrace_ops referencing it on the
ftrace_ops_list. But FTRACE_OPS_FL_DIRECT and FTRACE_OPS_FL_IPMODIFY
flags are special, and should not be set automatically. So warn and
skip ftrace_ops that have these two flags set and adding new code.
Also check if only one ftrace_ops references the module, in which case
we can use a trampoline as an optimization.

When module loaded and enabled, we will use __ftrace_replace_code
for module if any ftrace_ops referenced it found. But we will get
wrong ftrace_addr for module rec in ftrace_get_addr_new, because
rec->flags has not been setup correctly. It can cause the callback
function of a ftrace_ops has FTRACE_OPS_FL_SAVE_REGS to be called
with pt_regs set to NULL.
So setup correct FTRACE_FL_REGS flags for rec when we call
referenced_filters to find ftrace_ops references it.

Nowadays, modern kernel subsystems that use callbacks pass the data
structure associated with a given callback as argument to the callback.
The tasklet subsystem remains one which passes an arbitrary unsigned
long to the callback function. This has several problems:
- This keeps an extra field for storing the argument in each tasklet
data structure, it bloats the tasklet_struct structure with a redundant
.data field
- No type checking can be performed on this argument. Instead of
using container_of() like other callback subsystems, it forces callbacks
to do explicit type cast of the unsigned long argument into the required
object type.
- Buffer overflows can overwrite the .func and the .data field, so
an attacker can easily overwrite the function and its first argument
to whatever it wants.
Add a new tasklet initialization API, via DECLARE_TASKLET() and
tasklet_setup(), which will replace the existing ones.
This work is greatly inspired by the timer_struct conversion series,
see commit e99e88a9d2b0 ("treewide: setup_timer() -> timer_setup()")
To avoid problems with both -Wcast-function-type (which is enabled in
the kernel via -Wextra is several subsystems), and with mismatched
function prototypes when build with Control Flow Integrity enabled,
this adds the "use_callback" member to let the tasklet caller choose
which union member to call through. Once all old API uses are removed,
this and the .data member will be removed as well. (On 64-bit this does
not grow the struct size as the new member fills the hole after atomic_t,
which is also "int" sized.)

This modifies the first 32 bits out of the 128 bits of a random CPU's
net_rand_state on interrupt or CPU activity to complicate remote
observations that could lead to guessing the network RNG's internal
state.
Note that depending on some network devices' interrupt rate moderation
or binding, this re-seeding might happen on every packet or even almost
never.
In addition, with NOHZ some CPUs might not even get timer interrupts,
leaving their local state rarely updated, while they are running
networked processes making use of the random state. For this reason, we
also perform this update in update_process_times() in order to at least
update the state when there is user or system activity, since it's the
only case we care about.

RT tasks by default run at the highest capacity/performance level. When
uclamp is selected this default behavior is retained by enforcing the
requested uclamp.min (p->uclamp_req[UCLAMP_MIN]) of the RT tasks to be
uclamp_none(UCLAMP_MAX), which is SCHED_CAPACITY_SCALE; the maximum
value.
This is also referred to as 'the default boost value of RT tasks'.
See commit 1a00d999971c ("sched/uclamp: Set default clamps for RT tasks").
On battery powered devices, it is desired to control this default
(currently hardcoded) behavior at runtime to reduce energy consumed by
RT tasks.
For example, a mobile device manufacturer where big.LITTLE architecture
is dominant, the performance of the little cores varies across SoCs, and
on high end ones the big cores could be too power hungry.
Given the diversity of SoCs, the new knob allows manufactures to tune
the best performance/power for RT tasks for the particular hardware they
run on.
They could opt to further tune the value when the user selects
a different power saving mode or when the device is actively charging.
The runtime aspect of it further helps in creating a single kernel image
that can be run on multiple devices that require different tuning.
Keep in mind that a lot of RT tasks in the system are created by the
kernel. On Android for instance I can see over 50 RT tasks, only
a handful of which created by the Android framework.
To control the default behavior globally by system admins and device
integrator, introduce the new sysctl_sched_uclamp_util_min_rt_default
to change the default boost value of the RT tasks.
I anticipate this to be mostly in the form of modifying the init script
of a particular device.
To avoid polluting the fast path with unnecessary code, the approach
taken is to synchronously do the update by traversing all the existing
tasks in the system. This could race with a concurrent fork(), which is
dealt with by introducing sched_post_fork() function which will ensure
the racy fork will get the right update applied.
Tested on Juno-r2 in combination with the RT capacity awareness [1].
By default an RT task will go to the highest capacity CPU and run at the
maximum frequency, which is particularly energy inefficient on high end
mobile devices because the biggest core[s] are 'huge' and power hungry.
With this patch the RT task can be controlled to run anywhere by
default, and doesn't cause the frequency to be maximum all the time.
Yet any task that really needs to be boosted can easily escape this
default behavior by modifying its requested uclamp.min value
(p->uclamp_req[UCLAMP_MIN]) via sched_setattr() syscall.
