  • The struct irq_domain contains a "struct device_node *" field
    (of_node) that is almost the only link between the irqdomain
    and the device tree infrastructure.

    In order to prepare for the removal of that field, convert all
    users to use irq_domain_get_of_node() instead.

  • 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

  • Migrate c6x driver to the new 'set-state' interface provided by
    clockevents core, the earlier 'set-mode' interface is marked obsolete
    now.

    This also enables us to implement callbacks for new states of clockevent
    devices, for example: ONESHOT_STOPPED.

    We weren't doing anything in ->set_mode(RESUME) and so tick_resume()
    isn't implemented.

  • The irq argument of most interrupt flow handlers is unused or merily
    used instead of a local variable. The handlers which need the irq
    argument can retrieve the irq number from the irq descriptor.

  • Commit 2ae416b142b6 ("mm: new mm hook framework") introduced an empty
    header file (mm-arch-hooks.h) for every architecture, even those which
    doesn't need to define mm hooks.

    As suggested by Geert Uytterhoeven, this could be cleaned through the use
    of a generic header file included via each per architecture
    asm/include/Kbuild file.

    The PowerPC architecture is not impacted here since this architecture has
    to defined the arch_remap MM hook.

  • Added the x86 implementation of word-at-a-time to the
    generic version, which previously only supported big-endian.

    Omitted the x86-specific load_unaligned_zeropad(), which in
    any case is also not present for the existing BE-only
    implementation of a word-at-a-time, and is only used under
    CONFIG_DCACHE_WORD_ACCESS.

    Added as a "generic-y" to the Kbuilds of all architectures
    that didn't previously have it.

  • 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.

  • When !MMU, asm-generic will not define default pgprot_writecombine, so c6x
    needs to define it by itself. The related error:

  • 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.

  • 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 nohz full code needs irq work to trigger its own interrupt so that
    the subsystem can work even when the tick is stopped.

    Lets introduce arch_irq_work_has_interrupt() that archs can override to
    tell about their support for this ability.

  • Pull arch signal handling cleanup from Richard Weinberger:
    "This patch series moves all remaining archs to the get_signal(),
    signal_setup_done() and sigsp() functions.

    Currently these archs use open coded variants of the said functions.
    Further, unused parameters get removed from get_signal_to_deliver(),
    tracehook_signal_handler() and signal_delivered().

    At the end of the day we save around 500 lines of code."
