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.[james.hogan@imgtec.com: metag: align thread_info::supervisor_stack]

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.Signed-off-by: Kirill A. Shutemov

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.Signed-off-by: Davidlohr Bueso

13) Allow bonding to be configured fully using netlink, from Scott
Feldman.14) Allow AF_PACKET users to obtain the VLAN TPID, just like they can
already get the TCI. From Atzm Watanabe.15) New "Heavy Hitter" qdisc, from Terry Lam.
16) Significantly improve the IPSEC support in pktgen, from Fan Du.
17) Allow ipv4 tunnels to cache routes, just like sockets. From Tom
Herbert.18) Add Proportional Integral Enhanced packet scheduler, from Vijay
Subramanian.19) Allow openvswitch to mmap'd netlink, from Thomas Graf.
20) Key TCP metrics blobs also by source address, not just destination
address. From Christoph Paasch.21) Support 10G in generic phylib. From Andy Fleming.
22) Try to short-circuit GRO flow compares using device provided RX
hash, if provided. From Tom Herbert.The wireless and netfilter folks have been busy little bees too.

We're going to be adding a few new barrier primitives, and in order to
avoid endless duplication make more agressive use of
asm-generic/barrier.h.Change the asm-generic/barrier.h such that it allows partial barrier
definitions and fills out the rest with defaults.There are a few architectures (m32r, m68k) that could probably
do away with their barrier.h file entirely but are kept for now due to
their unconventional nop() implementation.Suggested-by: Geert Uytterhoeven

for the architectures that have usp in pt_regs and do not have
user_stack_pointer() already defined.Signed-off-by: Al Viro

All architectures have
CONFIG_GENERIC_KERNEL_THREAD
CONFIG_GENERIC_KERNEL_EXECVE
__ARCH_WANT_SYS_EXECVE
None of them have __ARCH_WANT_KERNEL_EXECVE and there are only two callers
of kernel_execve() (which is a trivial wrapper for do_execve() now) left.
Kill the conditionals and make both callers use do_execve().Signed-off-by: Al Viro

Pull big execve/kernel_thread/fork unification series from Al Viro:
"All architectures are converted to new model. Quite a bit of that
stuff is actually shared with architecture trees; in such cases it's
literally shared branch pulled by both, not a cherry-pick.A lot of ugliness and black magic is gone (-3KLoC total in this one):
- kernel_thread()/kernel_execve()/sys_execve() redesign.
We don't do syscalls from kernel anymore for either kernel_thread()
or kernel_execve():kernel_thread() is essentially clone(2) with callback run before we
return to userland, the callbacks either never return or do
successful do_execve() before returning.kernel_execve() is a wrapper for do_execve() - it doesn't need to
do transition to user mode anymore.As a result kernel_thread() and kernel_execve() are
arch-independent now - they live in kernel/fork.c and fs/exec.c
resp. sys_execve() is also in fs/exec.c and it's completely
architecture-independent.- daemonize() is gone, along with its parts in fs/*.c
- struct pt_regs * is no longer passed to do_fork/copy_process/
copy_thread/do_execve/search_binary_handler/->load_binary/do_coredump.- sys_fork()/sys_vfork()/sys_clone() unified; some architectures
still need wrappers (ones with callee-saved registers not saved in
pt_regs on syscall entry), but the main part of those suckers is in
kernel/fork.c now."* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/signal: (113 commits)
