    There's a bunch of changes this time, giving the CRISv32 port a bit of
    modern makeover with device-tree, irq domain and gpiolib support, and
    more switchover to generic frameworks.

    Some small fixes and removal of the theoretical SMP support brings up

  • Almost all arches define ELF_ET_DYN_BASE as 2/3 of TASK_SIZE.
    Though it seems that some architectures do this in a wrong way.
    The problem is that 2*TASK_SIZE may overflow 32-bits so
    the real ELF_ET_DYN_BASE becomes wrong.
    Fix this overflow by dividing TASK_SIZE prior to multiplying:
    (TASK_SIZE / 3 * 2)

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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_FILTER

    setsockopt() 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 program

  • 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).

  • The arch_mutex_cpu_relax() function, introduced by 34b133f, is
    hacky and ugly. It was added a few years ago to address the fact
    that common cpu_relax() calls include yielding on s390, and thus
    impact the optimistic spinning functionality of mutexes. Nowadays
    we use this function well beyond mutexes: rwsem, qrwlock, mcs and
    lockref. Since the macro that defines the call is in the mutex header,
    any users must include mutex.h and the naming is misleading as well.

    This patch (i) renames the call to cpu_relax_lowlatency ("relax, but
    only if you can do it with very low latency") and (ii) defines it in
    each arch's asm/processor.h local header, just like for regular cpu_relax
    functions. On all archs, except s390, cpu_relax_lowlatency is simply cpu_relax,
    and thus we can take it out of mutex.h. While this can seem redundant,
    I believe it is a good choice as it allows us to move out arch specific
    logic from generic locking primitives and enables future(?) archs to
    transparently define it, similarly to System Z.

  • sys_sgetmask and sys_ssetmask are obsolete system calls no longer
    supported in libc.

    This patch replaces architecture related __ARCH_WANT_SYS_SGETMAX by expert
    mode configuration.That option is enabled by default for those
    architectures.

    - add rwsem implementation comments

  • pcibios_penalize_isa_irq() is only implemented by x86 now, and legacy ISA
    is not used by some architectures. Make pcibios_penalize_isa_irq() a
    __weak function to simplify the code. This removes the need for new
    platforms to add stub implementations of pcibios_penalize_isa_irq().

  • Cris fully relies on asm-generic/barrier.h, therefore its smp_mb() is
    barrier(), thus we can use the default implementation that uses
    smp_mb().

    (Include asm/system.h and asm/barrier.h to avoid header dependency hell.)

  • Pull timer updates from Ingo Molnar:
    "The main purpose is to fix a full dynticks bug related to
    virtualization, where steal time accounting appears to be zero in
    /proc/stat even after a few seconds of competing guests running busy
    loops in a same host CPU. It's not a regression though as it was
    there since the beginning.

    The other commits are preparatory work to fix the bug and various
    cleanups"

  • Many architectures have a stub cputime.h that only include the default
    cputime.h

    Lets remove the useless headers, we only need to mention that we want
    the default headers on the Kbuild files.
