  • Apart from adding the helper function itself, the rest of the kernel is
    converted mechanically using:

    git grep -l 'atomic_inc.*mm_users' | xargs sed -i 's/atomic_inc(&\(.*\)->mm_users);/mmget\(\1\);/'
    git grep -l 'atomic_inc.*mm_users' | xargs sed -i 's/atomic_inc(&\(.*\)\.mm_users);/mmget\(\&\1\);/'

    This is needed for a later patch that hooks into the helper, but might
    be a worthwhile cleanup on its own.

  • Often all is needed is these small helpers, instead of compiler.h or a
    full kprobes.h. This is important for asm helpers, in fact even some
    asm/kprobes.h make use of these helpers... instead just keep a generic
    asm file with helpers useful for asm code with the least amount of
    clutter as possible.

    Likewise we need now to also address what to do about this file for both
    when architectures have CONFIG_HAVE_KPROBES, and when they do not. Then
    for when architectures have CONFIG_HAVE_KPROBES but have disabled
    CONFIG_KPROBES.

    Right now most asm/kprobes.h do not have guards against CONFIG_KPROBES,
    this means most architecture code cannot include asm/kprobes.h safely.
    Correct this and add guards for architectures missing them.
    Additionally provide architectures that not have kprobes support with
    the default asm-generic solution. This lets us force asm/kprobes.h on
    the header include/linux/kprobes.h always, but most importantly we can
    now safely include just asm/kprobes.h on architecture code without
    bringing the full kitchen sink of header files.

    Two architectures already provided a guard against CONFIG_KPROBES on its
    kprobes.h: sh, arch. The rest of the architectures needed gaurds added.
    We avoid including any not-needed headers on asm/kprobes.h unless
    kprobes have been enabled.

    In a subsequent atomic change we can try now to remove compiler.h from
    include/linux/kprobes.h.

    During this sweep I've also identified a few architectures defining a
    common macro needed for both kprobes and ftrace, that of the definition
    of the breakput instruction up. Some refer to this as
    BREAKPOINT_INSTRUCTION. This must be kept outside of the #ifdef
    CONFIG_KPROBES guard.

  • Pull rdma DMA mapping updates from Doug Ledford:
    "Drop IB DMA mapping code and use core DMA code instead.

    Bart Van Assche noted that the ib DMA mapping code was significantly
    similar enough to the core DMA mapping code that with a few changes it
    was possible to remove the IB DMA mapping code entirely and switch the
    RDMA stack to use the core DMA mapping code.

    This resulted in a nice set of cleanups, but touched the entire tree
    and has been kept separate for that reason."

  • Pull drm updates from Dave Airlie:
    "This is the main drm pull request for v4.11.

    Nothing too major, the tinydrm and mmu-less support should make
    writing smaller drivers easier for some of the simpler platforms, and
    there are a bunch of documentation updates.

    Intel grew displayport MST audio support which is hopefully useful to
    people, and FBC is on by default for GEN9+ (so people know where to
    look for regressions). AMDGPU has a lot of fixes that would like new
    firmware files installed for some GPUs.

    Other than that it's pretty scattered all over.

    I may have a follow up pull request as I know BenH has a bunch of AST
    rework and fixes and I'd like to get those in once they've been tested
    by AST, and I've got at least one pull request I'm just trying to get

  • cputime_t is now only used by two architectures:

    * powerpc (when CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_NATIVE=y)
    * s390

    And since the core doesn't use it anymore, we don't need any arch support
    from the others. So we can remove their stub implementations.

    A final cleanup would be to provide an efficient pure arch
    implementation of cputime_to_nsec() for s390 and powerpc and finally
    remove include/linux/cputime.h .

  • Pull timer type cleanups from Thomas Gleixner:
    "This series does a tree wide cleanup of types related to
    timers/timekeeping.

    - Get rid of cycles_t and use a plain u64. The type is not really
    helpful and caused more confusion than clarity

    - Get rid of the ktime union. The union has become useless as we use
    the scalar nanoseconds storage unconditionally now. The 32bit
    timespec alike storage got removed due to the Y2038 limitations
    some time ago.

    That leaves the odd union access around for no reason. Clean it up.

    Both changes have been done with coccinelle and a small amount of
    manual mopping up"

    "After a lot of discussion and work we have finally reachanged a basic
    understanding of what is necessary to make unprivileged mounts safe in

    are important for people not getting confused in the future. Clearing
    up that confusion allows us to seriously work on unprivileged mounts
    of fuse in the next development cycle.

    The rest of the fixes in this set are in the intersection of user
    namespaces, ptrace, and exec. I started with the first fix which
    started a feedback cycle of finding additional issues during review
    and fixing them. Culiminating in a fix for a bug that has been present
    since at least Linux v1.0.

    Potentially these fixes were candidates for being merged during the rc
    cycle, and are certainly backport candidates but enough little things
    turned up during review and testing that I decided they should be
    handled as part of the normal development process just to be certain
    there were not any great surprises when it came time to backport some

  • It is the reasonable expectation that if an executable file is not
    readable there will be no way for a user without special privileges to
    read the file. This is enforced in ptrace_attach but if ptrace
    is already attached before exec there is no enforcement for read-only
    executables.

    As the only way to read such an mm is through access_process_vm
    spin a variant called ptrace_access_vm that will fail if the
    target process is not being ptraced by the current process, or
    the current process did not have sufficient privileges when ptracing
    began to read the target processes mm.

    In the ptrace implementations replace access_process_vm by
    ptrace_access_vm. There remain several ptrace sites that still use
    access_process_vm as they are reading the target executables
    instructions (for kernel consumption) or register stacks. As such it
    does not appear necessary to add a permission check to those calls.

    This bug has always existed in Linux.

  • For spinning loops people do often use barrier() or cpu_relax().
    For most architectures cpu_relax and barrier are the same, but on
    some architectures cpu_relax can add some latency.
    For example on power,sparc64 and arc, cpu_relax can shift the CPU
    towards other hardware threads in an SMT environment.
    On s390 cpu_relax does even more, it uses an hypercall to the
    hypervisor to give up the timeslice.
    In contrast to the SMT yielding this can result in larger latencies.
    In some places this latency is unwanted, so another variant
    "cpu_relax_lowlatency" was introduced. Before this is used in more
    and more places, lets revert the logic and provide a cpu_relax_yield
    that can be called in places where yielding is more important than
    latency. By default this is the same as cpu_relax on all architectures.

  • The Kconfig currently controlling compilation of this code is:

    config BF561_COREB
    bool "Enable Core B loader"

    ...meaning that it currently is not being built as a module by anyone.

    Lets remove the modular code that is essentially orphaned, so that
    when reading the driver there is no doubt it is builtin-only.

    Since module_misc_device translates to device_initcall in the non-modular
    case, the init ordering remains unchanged with this commit.

    We also delete the MODULE_LICENSE tag etc. since all that information
    was (or is now) contained at the top of the file in the comments.

  • Merge the gup_flags cleanups from Lorenzo Stoakes:
    "This patch series adjusts functions in the get_user_pages* family such
    that desired FOLL_* flags are passed as an argument rather than
    implied by flags.

    The purpose of this change is to make the use of FOLL_FORCE explicit
    so it is easier to grep for and clearer to callers that this flag is
    being used. The use of FOLL_FORCE is an issue as it overrides missing
    VM_READ/VM_WRITE flags for the VMA whose pages we are reading
    from/writing to, which can result in surprising behaviour.

    The patch series came out of the discussion around commit 38e088546522
    ("mm: check VMA flags to avoid invalid PROT_NONE NUMA balancing"),
    which addressed a BUG_ON() being triggered when a page was faulted in
    with PROT_NONE set but having been overridden by FOLL_FORCE.
    do_numa_page() was run on the assumption the page _must_ be one marked
    for NUMA node migration as an actual PROT_NONE page would have been
    dealt with prior to this code path, however FOLL_FORCE introduced a
    situation where this assumption did not hold.

    See

    https://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=147585445805166

    for the patch proposal"

    Additionally, there's a fix for an ancient bug related to FOLL_FORCE and
    FOLL_WRITE by me.

    [ This branch was rebased recently to add a few more acked-by's and
    reviewed-by's ]

    * gup_flag-cleanups:
    mm: replace access_process_vm() write parameter with gup_flags
    mm: replace access_remote_vm() write parameter with gup_flags
    mm: replace __access_remote_vm() write parameter with gup_flags

  • This removes the 'write' argument from access_process_vm() and replaces
    it with 'gup_flags' as use of this function previously silently implied
    FOLL_FORCE, whereas after this patch callers explicitly pass this flag.

    We make this explicit as use of FOLL_FORCE can result in surprising
    behaviour (and hence bugs) within the mm subsystem.

  • When doing an nmi backtrace of many cores, most of which are idle, the
    output is a little overwhelming and very uninformative. Suppress
    messages for cpus that are idling when they are interrupted and just
    emit one line, "NMI backtrace for N skipped: idling at pc 0xNNN".

    We do this by grouping all the cpuidle code together into a new
    .cpuidle.text section, and then checking the address of the interrupted
    PC to see if it lies within that section.

    This commit suitably tags x86 and tile idle routines, and only adds in
    the minimal framework for other architectures.

  • Pull GPIO updates from Linus Walleij:
    "This is the bulk of GPIO changes for the v4.9 series:

    Subsystem improvements:

    - do away with the last users of the obsolete Kconfig options
    ARCH_REQUIRE_GPIOLIB and ARCH_WANT_OPTIONAL_GPIOLIB (the latter
    always sounded like an item on a wishlist to Santa Claus to me). We
    can now select GPIOLIB and be done with it, for all archs. After
    some struggle it even work on UM. Not that it has GPIO, but if it
    wants to, it can select the library.

    - continued efforts to make drivers properly either tristate or bool.

    - introduce a warning for drivers assigning default triggers to their
    irqchip lines when probed from device tree, so we find and fix
    these ambigous drivers. It is agreed that in the OF config path,
    the device tree defines trigger characteristics.

    - the same warning, mutatis mutandis, for ACPI-probed GPIO irqchips.

    - we introduce the ability to mark certain IRQ lines as "unusable" as
    they can be taken by BIOS/firmware, unrouted in silicon and
    generally nasty if you use them, and such things. This is put to
    good use in the STMPE driver and also in the Cherryview pin control
    driver.

    - a new "mockup" virtual GPIO device that can be used for testing.
    The plan is to add unit tests under tools/* for exercising this
    device and verify that the kernel code paths are working as they
    should.

    - make memory-mapped I/O-drivers depend on HAS_IOMEM. This was
    implicit all the time, but when people started building UM with
    allyesconfig or allmodconfig it exploded in their face.

    - move some stray bits of device tree and ACPI HW description
    callbacks down into their respective implementation silo. These
    were causing issues when compiling on !HAS_IOMEM as well, so now
    eventually UM compiles the GPIOLIB library if it wants to.

    New drivers:

    - new driver for the Aspeed GPIO front-end companion to the pin
    controller merged through the pin control tree.

    - new driver for the LP873x PMIC GPIO portions.

    - new driver for Technologic Systems' I2C FPGA GPIO such as TS4900,
    TS-7970, TS-7990 and TS-4100.

    - new driver for the Broadcom BCM63xx series including BCM6338 and
    BCM6345.

    - new driver for the Intel WhiskeyCove PMIC GPIO.

    - new driver for the Allwinner AXP209 PMIC GPIO portions.

    - new driver for Diamond Systems 48 line GPIO-MM, another of these
    port-mapped I/O expansion cards.

    - support the STMicroelectronics STMPE1600 variant in the STMPE
    driver.

    Driver improvements:

    - the STMPE driver now supports rising/falling edge detection
    properly for IRQs.

    - the PCA954x will now fetch and enable its VCC regulator properly.

    - major rework of the PCA953x driver with the goal of eventually
    switching it over to use regmap and thus modernize it even more.

    - switch the IOP driver to use the generic MMIO GPIO library.

    - move the ages old HTC EGPIO (extended GPIO) GPIO expander driver
    over to this subsystem from MFD, achieveing some separation of
    concerns"

  • Pull char/misc driver updates from Greg KH:
    "Here's the "big" char and misc driver update for 4.9-rc1.

    Lots of little things here, all over the driver tree for subsystems
    that flow through me. Nothing major that I can discern, full details
    are in the shortlog.

    All have been in the linux-next tree with no reported issues"

  • Pull uaccess fixes from Al Viro:
    "Fixes for broken uaccess primitives - mostly lack of proper zeroing
    in copy_from_user()/get_user()/__get_user(), but for several
    architectures there's more (broken clear_user() on frv and
    strncpy_from_user() on hexagon)"
