Since commit 84af7a6194e4 ("checkpatch: kconfig: prefer 'help' over
'---help---'"), the number of '---help---' has been gradually
decreasing, but there are still more than 2400 instances.This commit finishes the conversion. While I touched the lines,
I also fixed the indentation.There are a variety of indentation styles found.
a) 4 spaces + '---help---'
b) 7 spaces + '---help---'
c) 8 spaces + '---help---'
d) 1 space + 1 tab + '---help---'
e) 1 tab + '---help---' (correct indentation)
f) 1 tab + 1 space + '---help---'
g) 1 tab + 2 spaces + '---help---'In order to convert all of them to 1 tab + 'help', I ran the
following commend:$ find . -name 'Kconfig*' | xargs sed -i 's/^[[:space:]]*---help---/\thelp/'

Patch series "mm: consolidate definitions of page table accessors", v2.
The low level page table accessors (pXY_index(), pXY_offset()) are
duplicated across all architectures and sometimes more than once. For
instance, we have 31 definition of pgd_offset() for 25 supported
architectures.Most of these definitions are actually identical and typically it boils
down to, e.g.static inline unsigned long pmd_index(unsigned long address)
{
return (address >> PMD_SHIFT) & (PTRS_PER_PMD - 1);
}static inline pmd_t *pmd_offset(pud_t *pud, unsigned long address)
{
return (pmd_t *)pud_page_vaddr(*pud) + pmd_index(address);
}These definitions can be shared among 90% of the arches provided
XYZ_SHIFT, PTRS_PER_XYZ and xyz_page_vaddr() are defined.For architectures that really need a custom version there is always
possibility to override the generic version with the usual ifdefs magic.These patches introduce include/linux/pgtable.h that replaces
include/asm-generic/pgtable.h and add the definitions of the page table
accessors to the new header.This patch (of 12):
The linux/mm.h header includes to allow inlining of the
functions involving page table manipulations, e.g. pte_alloc() and
pmd_alloc(). So, there is no point to explicitly include
in the files that include .The include statements in such cases are remove with a simple loop:
for f in $(git grep -l "include ") ; do
sed -i -e '/include / d' $f

This code was using get_user_pages_fast(), in a "Case 2" scenario
(DMA/RDMA), using the categorization from [1]. That means that it's
time to convert the get_user_pages_fast() + put_page() calls to
pin_user_pages_fast() + unpin_user_pages() calls.There is some helpful background in [2]: basically, this is a small
part of fixing a long-standing disconnect between pinning pages, and
file systems' use of those pages.[1] Documentation/core-api/pin_user_pages.rst

The .ioctl and .compat_ioctl file operations have the same prototype so
they can both point to the same function, which works great almost all
the time when all the commands are compatible.One exception is the s390 architecture, where a compat pointer is only
31 bit wide, and converting it into a 64-bit pointer requires calling
compat_ptr(). Most drivers here will never run in s390, but since we now
have a generic helper for it, it's easy enough to use it consistently.I double-checked all these drivers to ensure that all ioctl arguments
are used as pointers or are ignored, but are not interpreted as integer
values.Acked-by: Jason Gunthorpe

To facilitate additional options to get_user_pages_fast() change the
singular write parameter to be gup_flags.This patch does not change any functionality. New functionality will
follow in subsequent patches.Some of the get_user_pages_fast() call sites were unchanged because they
already passed FOLL_WRITE or 0 for the write parameter.NOTE: It was suggested to change the ordering of the get_user_pages_fast()
arguments to ensure that callers were converted. This breaks the current
GUP call site convention of having the returned pages be the final
parameter. So the suggestion was rejected.Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20190328084422.29911-4-ira.weiny@intel.com

Each Oracle DAX CCB has a corresponding completion area, and the required
number of areas must fit within a previously allocated array of completion
areas beginning at the requested index. Since the completion area index
is specified by a file offset, a user can pass arbitrary values, including
negative numbers. So the index must be thoroughly range checked to prevent
access to addresses outside the bounds of the allocated completion
area array. The index cannot be negative, and it cannot exceed the
total array size, less the number of CCBs requested. The old code did
not check for negative values and was off by one on the upper bound.Signed-off-by: Rob Gardner

DAX is a coprocessor which resides on the SPARC M7 (DAX1) and M8
(DAX2) processor chips, and has direct access to the CPU's L3 caches
as well as physical memory. It can perform several operations on data
streams with various input and output formats. This driver provides a
transport mechanism and has limited knowledge of the various opcodes
and data formats. A user space library provides high level services
and translates these into low level commands which are then passed
into the driver and subsequently the hypervisor and the coprocessor.
The library is the recommended way for applications to use the
coprocessor, and the driver interface is not intended for general use.Signed-off-by: Rob Gardner

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.How this work was done:
Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
- file had no licensing information it it.
- file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
- file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
- Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
- Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
lines of source
- File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if

Instead move it to the callers. Those that either don't use bio_data() or
page_address() or are specific to architectures that do not support highmem
are skipped.Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig

Currently we use nornal Linux errno values in the block layer, and while
we accept any error a few have overloaded magic meanings. This patch
instead introduces a new blk_status_t value that holds block layer specific
status codes and explicitly explains their meaning. Helpers to convert from
and to the previous special meanings are provided for now, but I suspect
we want to get rid of them in the long run - those drivers that have a
errno input (e.g. networking) usually get errnos that don't know about
the special block layer overloads, and similarly returning them to userspace
will usually return somethings that strictly speaking isn't correct
for file system operations, but that's left as an exercise for later.For now the set of errors is a very limited set that closely corresponds
to the previous overloaded errno values, but there is some low hanging
fruite to improve it.blk_status_t (ab)uses the sparse __bitwise annotations to allow for sparse
typechecking, so that we can easily catch places passing the wrong values.Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig

This was entirely automated, using the script by Al:
PATT='^[[:blank:]]*#[[:blank:]]*include[[:blank:]]*'
sed -i -e "s!$PATT!#include !" \
$(git grep -l "$PATT"|grep -v ^include/linux/uaccess.h)to do the replacement at the end of the merge window.

Fix following warnings:
openprom.c:510:2: warning: 'tmp' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
openprom.c:503:3: warning: 'str' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
openprom.c:459:8: warning: 'str' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
openprom.c:422:7: warning: 'str' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]Fixed by introducing PTR_ERR etc.
This simplified the code as a nice side effect.Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg

orderly_poweroff() unconditionally returns 0, so remove the dead code that
checks the return value.A future patch will change the return type to void.
