Pull strscpy string copy function implementation from Chris Metcalf.
Chris sent this during the merge window, but I waffled back and forth on
the pull request, which is why it's going in only now.The new "strscpy()" function is definitely easier to use and more secure
than either strncpy() or strlcpy(), both of which are horrible nasty
interfaces that have serious and irredeemable problems.strncpy() has a useless return value, and doesn't NUL-terminate an
overlong result. To make matters worse, it pads a short result with
zeroes, which is a performance disaster if you have big buffers.strlcpy(), by contrast, is a mis-designed "fix" for strlcpy(), lacking
the insane NUL padding, but having a differently broken return value
which returns the original length of the source string. Which means
that it will read characters past the count from the source buffer, and
you have to trust the source to be properly terminated. It also makes
error handling fragile, since the test for overflow is unnecessarily
subtle.strscpy() avoids both these problems, guaranteeing the NUL termination
(but not excessive padding) if the destination size wasn't zero, and
making the overflow condition very obvious by returning -E2BIG. It also
doesn't read past the size of the source, and can thus be used for
untrusted source data too.So why did I waffle about this for so long?
Every time we introduce a new-and-improved interface, people start doing
these interminable series of trivial conversion patches.And every time that happens, somebody does some silly mistake, and the
conversion patch to the improved interface actually makes things worse.
Because the patch is mindnumbing and trivial, nobody has the attention
span to look at it carefully, and it's usually done over large swatches
of source code which means that not every conversion gets tested.So I'm pulling the strscpy() support because it *is* a better interface.
But I will refuse to pull mindless conversion patches. Use this in
places where it makes sense, but don't do trivial patches to fix things
that aren't actually known to be broken.* 'strscpy' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/cmetcalf/linux-tile:
tile: use global strscpy() rather than private copy

This patch makes sure that atomic_{read,set}() are at least
{READ,WRITE}_ONCE().We already had the 'requirement' that atomic_read() should use
ACCESS_ONCE(), and most archs had this, but a few were lacking.
All are now converted to use READ_ONCE().And, by a symmetry and general paranoia argument, upgrade atomic_set()
to use WRITE_ONCE().Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel)

Pull locking and atomic updates from Ingo Molnar:
"Main changes in this cycle are:- Extend atomic primitives with coherent logic op primitives
(atomic_{or,and,xor}()) and deprecate the old partial APIs
(atomic_{set,clear}_mask())The old ops were incoherent with incompatible signatures across
architectures and with incomplete support. Now every architecture
supports the primitives consistently (by Peter Zijlstra)- Generic support for 'relaxed atomics':
- _acquire/release/relaxed() flavours of xchg(), cmpxchg() and {add,sub}_return()
- atomic_read_acquire()
- atomic_set_release()This came out of porting qwrlock code to arm64 (by Will Deacon)
- Clean up the fragile static_key APIs that were causing repeat bugs,
by introducing a new one:DEFINE_STATIC_KEY_TRUE(name);
DEFINE_STATIC_KEY_FALSE(name);which define a key of different types with an initial true/false
value.Then allow:
static_branch_likely()
static_branch_unlikely()to take a key of either type and emit the right instruction for the
case. To be able to know the 'type' of the static key we encode it
in the jump entry (by Peter Zijlstra)- Static key self-tests (by Jason Baron)
- qrwlock optimizations (by Waiman Long)
- small futex enhancements (by Davidlohr Bueso)

This adds ioremap_uc() only for architectures that do not
include asm-generic.h/io.h as that already provides a default
definition for them for both cases where you have CONFIG_MMU
and you do not, and because of this, the number of architectures
this patch address is less than the architectures that the
ioremap_wt() patch addressed, "arch/*/io.h: Add ioremap_wt() to
all architectures").In order to reduce the number of architectures we have to
modify by adding new architecture IO APIs we'll have to review
the architectures in this patch, see why they can't add
asm-generic.h/io.h or issues that would be created by doing
so and then spread a consistent inclusion of this header
towards the end of their own header. For instance arch/metag
includes the asm-generic/io.h *before* the ioremap*()
definitions, this should be the other way around but only
once we have guard wrappers for the non-MMU case also for
asm-generic/io.h.Reported-by: Stephen Rothwell

Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner -
Mostly complete rewrite of the FRV atomic implementation, instead of
using assembly files, use inline assembler.The out-of-line CONFIG option makes a bit of a mess of things, but a
little CPP trickery gets that done too.FRV already had the atomic logic ops but under a non standard name,
the reimplementation provides the generic names and provides the
intermediate form required for the bitops implementation.The slightly inconsistent __atomic32_fetch_##op naming is because
__atomic_fetch_##op conlicts with GCC builtin functions.The 64bit atomic ops use the inline assembly %Ln construct to access
the low word register (r+1), afaik this construct was not previously
used in the kernel and is completely undocumented, but I found it in
the FRV GCC code and it seems to work.FRV had a non-standard definition of atomic_{clear,set}_mask() which
would work types other than atomic_t, the one user relying on that
(arch/frv/kernel/dma.c) got converted to use the new intermediate
form.Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel)

CRIU is recreating the process memory layout by remapping the checkpointee
memory area on top of the current process (criu). This includes remapping
the vDSO to the place it has at checkpoint time.However some architectures like powerpc are keeping a reference to the
vDSO base address to build the signal return stack frame by calling the
vDSO sigreturn service. So once the vDSO has been moved, this reference
is no more valid and the signal frame built later are not usable.This patch serie is introducing a new mm hook framework, and a new
arch_remap hook which is called when mremap is done and the mm lock still
hold. The next patch is adding the vDSO remap and unmap tracking to the
powerpc architecture.This patch (of 3):
This patch introduces a new set of header file to manage mm hooks:
- per architecture empty header file (arch/x/include/asm/mm-arch-hooks.h)
- a generic header (include/linux/mm-arch-hooks.h)The architecture which need to overwrite a hook as to redefine it in its
header file, while architecture which doesn't need have nothing to do.The default hooks are defined in the generic header and are used in the
case the architecture is not defining it.In a next step, mm hooks defined in include/asm-generic/mm_hooks.h should
be moved here.Signed-off-by: Laurent Dufour

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.[james.hogan@imgtec.com: metag: align thread_info::supervisor_stack]

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.Signed-off-by: Kirill A. Shutemov

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 Prabhu2) 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.10) Support TSO/LSO in sunvnet driver, from David L Stevens.
11) Allow controlling ECN usage via routing metrics, from Florian
Westphal.12) Remote checksum offload, from Tom Herbert.
13) Add split-header receive, BQL, and xmit_more support to amd-xgbe
driver, from Thomas Lendacky.14) Add MPLS support to openvswitch, from Simon Horman.
15) Support wildcard tunnel endpoints in ipv6 tunnels, from Steffen
Klassert.16) Do gro flushes on a per-device basis using a timer, from Eric
Dumazet. This tries to resolve the conflicting goals between the
desired handling of bulk vs. RPC-like traffic.17) Allow userspace to ask for the CPU upon what a packet was
received/steered, via SO_INCOMING_CPU. From Eric Dumazet.18) Limit GSO packets to half the current congestion window, from Eric
Dumazet.19) Add a generic helper so that all drivers set their RSS keys in a
consistent way, from Eric Dumazet.20) Add xmit_more support to enic driver, from Govindarajulu
Varadarajan.21) Add VLAN packet scheduler action, from Jiri Pirko.

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

introduce new setsockopt() command:
setsockopt(sock, SOL_SOCKET, SO_ATTACH_BPF, &prog_fd, sizeof(prog_fd))
where prog_fd was received from syscall bpf(BPF_PROG_LOAD, attr, ...)
and attr->prog_type == BPF_PROG_TYPE_SOCKET_FILTERsetsockopt() calls bpf_prog_get() which increments refcnt of the program,
so it doesn't get unloaded while socket is using the program.The same eBPF program can be attached to multiple sockets.
User task exit automatically closes socket which calls sk_filter_uncharge()
which decrements refcnt of eBPF programSigned-off-by: Alexei Starovoitov

Alternative to RPS/RFS is to use hardware support for multiple
queues.Then split a set of million of sockets into worker threads, each
one using epoll() to manage events on its own socket pool.Ideally, we want one thread per RX/TX queue/cpu, but we have no way to
know after accept() or connect() on which queue/cpu a socket is managed.We normally use one cpu per RX queue (IRQ smp_affinity being properly
set), so remembering on socket structure which cpu delivered last packet
is enough to solve the problem.After accept(), connect(), or even file descriptor passing around
processes, applications can use :int cpu;
socklen_t len = sizeof(cpu);getsockopt(fd, SOL_SOCKET, SO_INCOMING_CPU, &cpu, &len);
And use this information to put the socket into the right silo
for optimal performance, as all networking stack should run
on the appropriate cpu, without need to send IPI (RPS/RFS).Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet

write{b,w,l}_relaxed are implemented by some architectures in order to
permit memory-mapped I/O accesses with weaker barrier semantics than the
non-relaxed variants.This patch adds dummy macros for the write accessors to frv, in the same
