    "asm-generic: kill and improve nommu generic uaccess helpers

    Christoph Hellwig writes:

    This is a series doing two somewhat interwinded things. It improves
    the asm-generic nommu uaccess helper to optionally be entirely
    generic and not require any arch helpers for the actual uaccess.
    For the generic uaccess.h to actually be generically useful I also
    had to kill off the mess we made of , which really
    shouldn't exist on most architectures"

  • 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.

  • Pull audit updates from Paul Moore:
    "We've got a reasonably broad set of audit patches for the v5.2 merge
    window, the highlights are below:

    - The biggest change, and the source of all the arch/* changes, is
    the patchset from Dmitry to help enable some of the work he is
    doing around PTRACE_GET_SYSCALL_INFO.

    To be honest, including this in the audit tree is a bit of a
    stretch, but it does help move audit a little further along towards
    proper syscall auditing for all arches, and everyone else seemed to
    agree that audit was a "good" spot for this to land (or maybe they
    just didn't want to merge it? dunno.).

  • After removing the start and count arguments of syscall_get_arguments() it
    seems reasonable to remove them from syscall_set_arguments(). Note, as of
    today, there are no users of syscall_set_arguments(). But we are told that
    there will be soon. But for now, at least make it consistent with
    syscall_get_arguments().

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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() -> 1

    Note 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 support

    My 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.

  • 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.

  • There are several early memory allocations in arch/ code that use
    memblock_phys_alloc() to allocate memory, convert the returned physical
    address to the virtual address and then set the allocated memory to
    zero.

    Exactly the same behaviour can be achieved simply by calling
    memblock_alloc(): it allocates the memory in the same way as
    memblock_phys_alloc(), then it performs the phys_to_virt() conversion
    and clears the allocated memory.

    Replace the longer sequence with a simpler call to memblock_alloc().

  • …rnd/playground into timers/2038

    Pull additional syscall ABI cleanup for y2038 from Arnd Bergmann:

    This is a follow-up to the y2038 syscall patches already merged in the tip
    tree. As the final 32-bit RISC-V syscall ABI is still being decided on,
    this is the last chance to make a few corrections to leave out interfaces
    based on 32-bit time_t along with the old off_t and rlimit types.

    The series achieves this in a few steps:

    - A couple of bug fixes for minor regressions I introduced
    in the original series

    - A couple of older patches from Yury Norov that I had never
    merged in the past, these fix up the openat/open_by_handle_at and
    getrlimit/setrlimit syscalls to disallow the old versions of off_t
    and rlimit.

    - Hiding the deprecated system calls behind an #ifdef in
    include/uapi/asm-generic/unistd.h

    - Change arch/riscv to drop all these ABIs.

    Originally, the plan was to also leave these out on C-Sky, but that now
    has a glibc port that uses the older interfaces, so we need to leave
    them in place.

  • We don't want new architectures to even provide the old 32-bit time_t
    based system calls any more, or define the syscall number macros.

    Add a new __ARCH_WANT_TIME32_SYSCALLS macro that gets enabled for all
    existing 32-bit architectures using the generic system call table,
    so we don't change any current behavior.
    Since this symbol is evaluated in user space as well, we cannot use
    a Kconfig CONFIG_* macro but have to define it in uapi/asm/unistd.h.

    On 64-bit architectures, the same system call numbers mostly refer to
    the system calls we want to keep, as they already pass 64-bit time_t.

    As new architectures no longer provide these, we need new exceptions
    in checksyscalls.sh.

  • The newer prlimit64 syscall provides all the functionality of getrlimit
    and setrlimit syscalls and adds the pid of target process, so future
    architectures won't need to include getrlimit and setrlimit.

    Therefore drop getrlimit and setrlimit syscalls from the generic syscall
    list unless __ARCH_WANT_SET_GET_RLIMIT is defined by the architecture's
    unistd.h prior to including asm-generic/unistd.h, and adjust all
    architectures using the generic syscall list to define it so that no
    in-tree architectures are affected.

  • All new 32-bit architectures should have 64-bit userspace off_t type, but
    existing architectures has 32-bit ones.

    To enforce the rule, new config option is added to arch/Kconfig that defaults
    ARCH_32BIT_OFF_T to be disabled for new 32-bit architectures. All existing
    32-bit architectures enable it explicitly.

    New option affects force_o_largefile() behaviour. Namely, if userspace
    off_t is 64-bits long, we have no reason to reject user to open big files.

    Note that even if architectures has only 64-bit off_t in the kernel
    (arc, c6x, h8300, hexagon, nios2, openrisc, and unicore32),
    a libc may use 32-bit off_t, and therefore want to limit the file size
    to 4GB unless specified differently in the open flags.

    arch/sparc/include/asm/shmparam.h
    arch/x86/include/asm/shmparam.h
    arch/xtensa/include/asm/shmparam.h

    Strangely, some users of the asm-generic wrapper export shmparam.h

    $ git grep 'generic-y += shmparam.h'
    arch/c6x/include/uapi/asm/Kbuild:generic-y += shmparam.h
    arch/h8300/include/uapi/asm/Kbuild:generic-y += shmparam.h
    arch/hexagon/include/uapi/asm/Kbuild:generic-y += shmparam.h
    arch/m68k/include/uapi/asm/Kbuild:generic-y += shmparam.h
    arch/microblaze/include/uapi/asm/Kbuild:generic-y += shmparam.h
    arch/openrisc/include/uapi/asm/Kbuild:generic-y += shmparam.h
    arch/riscv/include/asm/Kbuild:generic-y += shmparam.h
    arch/unicore32/include/uapi/asm/Kbuild:generic-y += shmparam.h

    The newly added riscv correctly creates the asm-generic wrapper
    in the kernel space, but the others (c6x, h8300, hexagon, m68k,
    microblaze, openrisc, unicore32) create the one in the uapi directory.

    Digging into the git history, now I guess fcc8487d477a ("uapi:
    export all headers under uapi directories") was the misconversion.
    Prior to that commit, no architecture exported to shmparam.h
    As its commit description said, that commit exported shmparam.h
    for c6x, h8300, hexagon, m68k, openrisc, unicore32.

    83f0124ad81e ("microblaze: remove asm-generic wrapper headers")
    accidentally exported shmparam.h for microblaze.

    This commit unexports shmparam.h for those architectures.

    There is no more reason to export include/uapi/asm-generic/shmparam.h,
    so it has been moved to include/asm-generic/shmparam.h

  • When testing in userspace, UBSAN pointed out that shifting into the sign
    bit is undefined behaviour. It doesn't really make sense to ask for the
    highest set bit of a negative value, so just turn the argument type into
    an unsigned int.

    Some architectures (eg ppc) already had it declared as an unsigned int,
    so I don't expect too many problems.

  • Nobody has actually used the type (VERIFY_READ vs VERIFY_WRITE) argument
    of the user address range verification function since we got rid of the
    old racy i386-only code to walk page tables by hand.

    It existed because the original 80386 would not honor the write protect
    bit when in kernel mode, so you had to do COW by hand before doing any
    user access. But we haven't supported that in a long time, and these
    days the 'type' argument is a purely historical artifact.

    A discussion about extending 'user_access_begin()' to do the range
    checking resulted this patch, because there is no way we're going to
    move the old VERIFY_xyz interface to that model. And it's best done at
    the end of the merge window when I've done most of my merges, so let's
    just get this done once and for all.

    This patch was mostly done with a sed-script, with manual fix-ups for
    the cases that weren't of the trivial 'access_ok(VERIFY_xyz' form.

    There were a couple of notable cases:

    - csky still had the old "verify_area()" name as an alias.

    - the iter_iov code had magical hardcoded knowledge of the actual
    values of VERIFY_{READ,WRITE} (not that they mattered, since nothing
    really used it)

    - microblaze used the type argument for a debug printout

    but other than those oddities this should be a total no-op patch.

    I tried to fix up all architectures, did fairly extensive grepping for
    access_ok() uses, and the changes are trivial, but I may have missed
    something. Any missed conversion should be trivially fixable, though.
