Pull nommu generic uaccess updates from Arnd Bergmann:
"asm-generic: kill and improve nommu generic uaccess helpersChristoph 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"* tag 'asm-generic-nommu' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arnd/asm-generic:

Problem:
When a kernel module is compiled as a separate module, some important
information about the kernel module is available via .modinfo section of
the module. In contrast, when the kernel module is compiled into the
kernel, that information is not available.Information about built-in modules is necessary in the following cases:
1. When it is necessary to find out what additional parameters can be
passed to the kernel at boot time.2. When you need to know which module names and their aliases are in
the kernel. This is very useful for creating an initrd image.Proposal:
The proposed patch does not remove .modinfo section with module
information from the vmlinux at the build time and saves it into a
separate file after kernel linking. So, the kernel does not increase in
size and no additional information remains in it. Information is stored
in the same format as in the separate modules (null-terminated string
array). Because the .modinfo section is already exported with a separate
modules, we are not creating a new API.It can be easily read in the userspace:

The following warning occurred on s390:
WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 804 at kernel/locking/lockdep.c:1025 lockdep_register_key+0x30/0x150This is because the check in static_obj() assumes that all memory within
[_stext, _end] belongs to static objects, which at least for s390 isn't
true. The init section is also part of this range, and freeing it allows
the buddy allocator to allocate memory from it. We have virt == phys for
the kernel on s390, so that such allocations would then have addresses
within the range [_stext, _end].To fix this, introduce arch_is_kernel_initmem_freed(), similar to
arch_is_kernel_text/data(), and add it to the checks in static_obj().
This will always return 0 on architectures that do not define
arch_is_kernel_initmem_freed. On s390, it will return 1 if initmem has
been freed and the address is in the range [__init_begin, __init_end].Signed-off-by: Gerald Schaefer

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

As the generic rwsem-xadd code is using the appropriate acquire and
release versions of the atomic operations, the arch specific rwsem.h
files will not be that much faster than the generic code as long as the
atomic functions are properly implemented. So we can remove those arch
specific rwsem.h and stop building asm/rwsem.h to reduce maintenance
effort.Currently, only x86, alpha and ia64 have implemented architecture
specific fast paths. I don't have access to alpha and ia64 systems for
testing, but they are legacy systems that are not likely to be updated
to the latest kernel anyway.By using a rwsem microbenchmark, the total locking rates on a 4-socket
56-core 112-thread x86-64 system before and after the patch were as
follows (mixed means equal # of read and write locks):Before Patch After Patch

x86-64, using the generic C code fast path seems to be a little bit
faster than the assembly version with low lock contention. Looking at
the assembly version of the fast paths, there are assembly to/from C
code wrappers that save and restore all the callee-clobbered registers
(7 registers on x86-64). The assembly generated from the generic C
code doesn't need to do that. That may explain the slight performance
gain here.The generic asm rwsem.h can also be merged into kernel/locking/rwsem.h
with no code change as no other code other than those under
kernel/locking needs to access the internal rwsem macros and functions.Signed-off-by: Waiman Long

As the comment notes; it is a potentially dangerous operation. Just
use tlb_flush_mmu(), that will skip the (double) TLB invalidate if
it really isn't needed anyway.No change in behavior intended.

Add the Kconfig option HAVE_MMU_GATHER_NO_GATHER to the generic
mmu_gather code. If the option is set the mmu_gather will not
track individual pages for delayed page free anymore. A platform
that enables the option needs to provide its own implementation
of the __tlb_remove_page_size() function to free pages.No change in behavior intended.

Make issuing a TLB invalidate for page-table pages the normal case.
The reason is twofold:
- too many invalidates is safer than too few,
- most architectures use the linux page-tables natively
and would thus require this.Make it an opt-out, instead of an opt-in.

When an architecture does not have (an efficient) flush_tlb_range(),
but instead always uses full TLB invalidates, the current generic
tlb_flush() is sub-optimal, for it will generate extra flushes in
order to keep the range small.But if we cannot do range flushes, that is a moot concern. Optionally
provide this simplified default.No change in behavior intended.

Provide a generic tlb_flush() implementation that relies on
flush_tlb_range(). This is a little awkward because flush_tlb_range()
assumes a VMA for range invalidation, but we no longer have one.Audit of all flush_tlb_range() implementations shows only vma->vm_mm
and vma->vm_flags are used, and of the latter only VM_EXEC (I-TLB
invalidates) and VM_HUGETLB (large TLB invalidate) are used.Therefore, track VM_EXEC and VM_HUGETLB in two more bits, and create a
'fake' VMA.This allows architectures that have a reasonably efficient
flush_tlb_range() to not require any additional effort.No change in behavior intended.

The one obvious thing SH and ARM want is a sensible default for
tlb_start_vma(). (also: https://lkml.org/lkml/2004/1/15/6 )Avoid all VIPT architectures providing their own tlb_start_vma()
implementation and rely on architectures to provide a no-op
flush_cache_range() when it is not relevant.This patch makes tlb_start_vma() default to flush_cache_range(), which
should be right and sufficient. The only exceptions that I found where
(oddly):- m68k-mmu
- sparc64
- unicoreThose architectures appear to have flush_cache_range(), but their
current tlb_start_vma() does not call it.No change in behavior intended.
