Both pgtable_cache_init() and pgd_cache_init() are used to initialize kmem
cache for page table allocations on several architectures that do not use
PAGE_SIZE tables for one or more levels of the page table hierarchy.Most architectures do not implement these functions and use __weak default
NOP implementation of pgd_cache_init(). Since there is no such default
for pgtable_cache_init(), its empty stub is duplicated among most
architectures.Rename the definitions of pgd_cache_init() to pgtable_cache_init() and
drop empty stubs of pgtable_cache_init().Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1566457046-22637-1-git-send-email-rppt@linux.ibm.com

Pull force_sig() argument change from Eric Biederman:
"A source of error over the years has been that force_sig has taken a
task parameter when it is only safe to use force_sig with the current
task.The force_sig function is built for delivering synchronous signals
such as SIGSEGV where the userspace application caused a synchronous
fault (such as a page fault) and the kernel responded with a signal.Because the name force_sig does not make this clear, and because the
force_sig takes a task parameter the function force_sig has been
abused for sending other kinds of signals over the years. Slowly those
have been fixed when the oopses have been tracked down.This set of changes fixes the remaining abusers of force_sig and
carefully rips out the task parameter from force_sig and friends
making this kind of error almost impossible in the future"* 'siginfo-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace: (27 commits)

Patch series "provide a generic free_initmem implementation", v2.
Many architectures implement free_initmem() in exactly the same or very
similar way: they wrap the call to free_initmem_default() with sometimes
different 'poison' parameter.These patches switch those architectures to use a generic implementation
that does free_initmem_default(POISON_FREE_INITMEM).This was inspired by Christoph's patches for free_initrd_mem [1] and I
shamelessly copied changelog entries from his patches :)[1] https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20190213174621.29297-1-hch@lst.de/
This patch (of 2):
For most architectures free_initmem just a wrapper for the same
free_initmem_default(-1) call. Provide that as a generic implementation
marked __weak.Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1550515285-17446-2-git-send-email-rppt@linux.ibm.com

At Linux Plumbers, Andy Lutomirski approached me and pointed out that the
function call syscall_get_arguments() implemented in x86 was horribly
written and not optimized for the standard case of passing in 0 and 6 for
the starting index and the number of system calls to get. When looking at
all the users of this function, I discovered that all instances pass in only
0 and 6 for these arguments. Instead of having this function handle
different cases that are never used, simply rewrite it to return the first 6
arguments of a system call.This should help out the performance of tracing system calls by ptrace,
ftrace and perf.Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20161107213233.754809394@goodmis.org

Currently, we have two different implementation of rwsem:
1) CONFIG_RWSEM_GENERIC_SPINLOCK (rwsem-spinlock.c)
2) CONFIG_RWSEM_XCHGADD_ALGORITHM (rwsem-xadd.c)As we are going to use a single generic implementation for rwsem-xadd.c
and no architecture-specific code will be needed, there is no point
in keeping two different implementations of rwsem. In most cases, the
performance of rwsem-spinlock.c will be worse. It also doesn't get all
the performance tuning and optimizations that had been implemented in
rwsem-xadd.c over the years.For simplication, we are going to remove rwsem-spinlock.c and make all
architectures use a single implementation of rwsem - rwsem-xadd.c.All references to RWSEM_GENERIC_SPINLOCK and RWSEM_XCHGADD_ALGORITHM
in the code are removed.Suggested-by: Peter Zijlstra

For the architectures that do not implement their own tlb_flush() but
do already use the generic mmu_gather, there are two options:1) the platform has an efficient flush_tlb_range() and
asm-generic/tlb.h doesn't need any overrides at all.2) the platform lacks an efficient flush_tlb_range() and
we select MMU_GATHER_NO_RANGE to minimize full invalidates.Convert all 'simple' architectures to one of these two forms.
alpha: has no range invalidate -> 2
arc: already used flush_tlb_range() -> 1
c6x: has no range invalidate -> 2
hexagon: has an efficient flush_tlb_range() -> 1
(flush_tlb_mm() is in fact a full range invalidate,
so no need to shoot down everything)
m68k: has inefficient flush_tlb_range() -> 2
microblaze: has no flush_tlb_range() -> 2
mips: has efficient flush_tlb_range() -> 1
(even though it currently seems to use flush_tlb_mm())
nds32: already uses flush_tlb_range() -> 1
nios2: has inefficient flush_tlb_range() -> 2
(no limit on range iteration)
openrisc: has inefficient flush_tlb_range() -> 2
(no limit on range iteration)
parisc: already uses flush_tlb_range() -> 1
sparc32: already uses flush_tlb_range() -> 1
unicore32: has inefficient flush_tlb_range() -> 2
(no limit on range iteration)
xtensa: has efficient flush_tlb_range() -> 1Note this also fixes a bug in the existing code for a number
platforms. Those platforms that did:tlb_end_vma() -> if (!full_mm) flush_tlb_*()
tlb_flush -> if (full_mm) flush_tlb_mm()missed the case of shift_arg_pages(), which doesn't have @fullmm set,
nor calls into tlb_*vma(), but still frees page-tables and thus needs
an invalidate. The new code handles this by detecting a non-empty
range, and either issuing the matching range invalidate or a full
invalidate, depending on the capabilities.No change in behavior intended.

I do not see any consistency about headers_install of
and .According to my analysis of Linux 5.1-rc1, there are 3 groups:
[1] Both and are exported
alpha, arm, hexagon, mips, powerpc, s390, sparc, x86
[2] is exported, but is not
arc, arm64, c6x, h8300, ia64, m68k, microblaze, nios2, openrisc,
parisc, sh, unicore32, xtensa[3] Neither nor is exported
csky, nds32, riscv
This does not match to the actual KVM support. At least, [2] is
half-baked.Nor do arch maintainers look like they care about this. For example,
commit 0add53713b1c ("microblaze: Add missing kvm_para.h to Kbuild")
exported to user-space in order to fix an in-kernel
build error.We have two ways to make this consistent:
[A] export both and for all
architectures, irrespective of the KVM support[B] Match the header export of and
to the KVM supportMy first attempt was [A] because the code looks cleaner, but Paolo
suggested [B].So, this commit goes with [B].
For most architectures, was moved to the kernel-space.
I changed include/uapi/linux/Kbuild so that it checks generated
asm/kvm_para.h as well as check-in ones.After this commit, there will be two groups:
[1] Both and are exported
arm, arm64, mips, powerpc, s390, x86
[2] Neither nor is exported
alpha, arc, c6x, csky, h8300, hexagon, ia64, m68k, microblaze,

This argument is required to extend the generic ptrace API with
PTRACE_GET_SYSCALL_INFO request: syscall_get_arch() is going
to be called from ptrace_request() along with syscall_get_nr(),
syscall_get_arguments(), syscall_get_error(), and
syscall_get_return_value() functions with a tracee as their argument.The primary intent is that the triple (audit_arch, syscall_nr, arg1..arg6)
should describe what system call is being called and what its arguments
are.Reverts: 5e937a9ae913 ("syscall_get_arch: remove useless function arguments")

Currently, every arch/*/include/uapi/asm/Kbuild explicitly includes
the common Kbuild.asm file. Factor out the duplicated include directives
to scripts/Makefile.asm-generic so that no architecture would opt out
of the mandatory-y mechanism.um is not forced to include mandatory-y since it is a very exceptional
case which does not support UAPI.Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada
-
The generic-y is redundant under the following condition:
- arch has its own implementation
- the same header is added to generated-y
- the same header is added to mandatory-y
If a redundant generic-y is found, the warning like follows is displayed:
scripts/Makefile.asm-generic:20: redundant generic-y found in arch/arm/include/asm/Kbuild: timex.h
I fixed up arch Kbuild files found by this.

It believe it is a bad idea to hardcode a specific compiler prefix
that may or may not be installed on a user's system. It is annoying
when testing features that should not require compilers at all.For example, mrproper, headers_install, etc. should work without
any compiler.They look like follows on my machine.
$ make ARCH=h8300 mrproper
./scripts/gcc-version.sh: line 26: h8300-unknown-linux-gcc: command not found
./scripts/gcc-version.sh: line 27: h8300-unknown-linux-gcc: command not found
make: h8300-unknown-linux-gcc: Command not found
make: h8300-unknown-linux-gcc: Command not found
[ a bunch of the same error messages continue ]$ make ARCH=h8300 headers_install
./scripts/gcc-version.sh: line 26: h8300-unknown-linux-gcc: command not found

HOSTCC scripts/basic/fixdep
make: h8300-unknown-linux-gcc: Command not found
WRAP arch/h8300/include/generated/uapi/asm/kvm_para.h
[ snip ]The solution is to delete this line, or to use cc-cross-prefix like
some architectures do. I chose the latter as a moderate fixup.I added an alternative 'h8300-linux-' because it is available at:

Add check for the return value of memblock_alloc*() functions and call
panic() in case of error. The panic message repeats the one used by
panicing memblock allocators with adjustment of parameters to include
only relevant ones.The replacement was mostly automated with semantic patches like the one
below with manual massaging of format strings.@@
expression ptr, size, align;
@@
ptr = memblock_alloc(size, align);
+ if (!ptr)

This Kconfig option was removed during v4.19 development in commit
771c035372a0 ("deprecate the '__deprecated' attribute warnings entirely
and for good") so there's no point to keep it in defconfigs any longer.FWIW defconfigs were patched with:
