Commit 50bed2e2862a ("sg: disable interrupts inside sg_copy_buffer")
introduced disabling interrupts in sg_copy_buffer() since atomic uses of
miter required it due to use of kmap_atomic().
However, as commit 8290e2d2dcbf ("scatterlist: atomic sg_mapping_iter()
no longer needs disabled IRQs") acknowledges disabling interrupts is no
longer needed for calls to kmap_atomic() and therefore unneeded for
miter ops either, so remove it from sg_copy_buffer().

The issue is described here, with a nice testcase:
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=192931
The problem is that shmat() calls do_mmap_pgoff() with MAP_FIXED, and
the address rounded down to 0. For the regular mmap case, the
protection mentioned above is that the kernel gets to generate the
address -- arch_get_unmapped_area() will always check for MAP_FIXED and
return that address. So by the time we do security_mmap_addr(0) things
get funky for shmat().
The testcase itself shows that while a regular user crashes, root will
not have a problem attaching a nil-page. There are two possible fixes
to this. The first, and which this patch does, is to simply allow root
to crash as well -- this is also regular mmap behavior, ie when hacking
up the testcase and adding mmap(... |MAP_FIXED). While this approach
is the safer option, the second alternative is to ignore SHM_RND if the
rounded address is 0, thus only having MAP_SHARED flags. This makes the
behavior of shmat() identical to the mmap() case. The downside of this
is obviously user visible, but does make sense in that it maintains
semantics after the round-down wrt 0 address and mmap.
Passes shm related ltp tests.

sysv sem has two lock modes: One with per-semaphore locks, one lock mode
with a single global lock for the whole array. When switching from the
per-semaphore locks to the global lock, all per-semaphore locks must be
scanned for ongoing operations.
The patch adds a hysteresis for switching from the global lock to the
per semaphore locks. This reduces how often the per-semaphore locks
must be scanned.
Compared to the initial patch, this is a simplified solution: Setting
USE_GLOBAL_LOCK_HYSTERESIS to 1 restores the current behavior.
In theory, a workload with exactly 10 simple sops and then one complex
op now scales a bit worse, but this is pure theory: If there is
concurrency, the it won't be exactly 10:1:10:1:10:1:... If there is no
concurrency, then there is no need for scalability.

a) The ACQUIRE in spin_lock() applies to the read, not to the store, at
least for powerpc. This forces to add a smp_mb() into the fast path.
b) The memory barrier provided by spin_unlock_wait() is right now arch
dependent.
Therefore: Use spin_lock()/spin_unlock() instead of spin_unlock_wait().
Advantage: faster single op semop calls(), observed +8.9% on x86. (the
other solution would be arch dependencies in ipc/sem).
Disadvantage: slower complex op semop calls, if (and only if) there are
no sleeping operations.
The next patch adds hysteresis, this further reduces the probability
that the slow path is used.

Commit 4a9d4b024a31 ("switch fput to task_work_add") implements a
schedule_work() for completing fput(), but did not guarantee calling
__fput() after unpacking initramfs. Because of this, there is a
possibility that during boot a driver can see ETXTBSY when it tries to
load a binary from initramfs as fput() is still pending on that binary.
This patch makes sure that fput() is completed after unpacking initramfs
and removes the call to flush_delayed_fput() in kernel_init() which
happens very late after unpacking initramfs.

The aio interface adds substantial attack surface for a feature that's
not being exposed by Android at all. It's unlikely that anyone is using
the kernel feature directly either. This feature is rarely used even on
servers. The glibc POSIX aio calls really use thread pools. The lack
of widespread usage also means this is relatively poorly audited/tested.
The kernel's aio rarely provides performance benefits over using a
thread pool and is quite incomplete in terms of system call coverage
along with having edge cases where blocking can occur. Part of the
performance issue is the fact that it only supports direct io, not
buffered io. The existing API is considered fundamentally flawed and
it's unlikely it will be expanded, but rather replaced:
https://marc.info/?l=linux-aio&m=145255815216051&w=2
Since ext4 encryption means no direct io support, kernel aio isn't even
going to work properly on Android devices using file-based encryption.

In case if epoll_ctl is called with operation EPOLL_CTL_DEL then
@epds.events variable allocated on stack may contain random bits which
we test then for EPOLLEXCLUSIVE. Since currently the test look like
if (epds.events & EPOLLEXCLUSIVE) {
if (op == EPOLL_CTL_MOD)
goto error_tgt_fput;
if (op == EPOLL_CTL_ADD && (is_file_epoll(tf.file) ||
(epds.events & ~EPOLLEXCLUSIVE_OK_BITS)))
goto error_tgt_fput;
}
Nothing serious will happen even if epds.events has this bit set, still
better to be on safe side and make sure that we're to test this bit at
all.

Currently all the p_paddr of PT_LOAD headers are assigned to 0, which is
not true and could be misleading, since 0 is a valid physical address.
User space tools like makedumpfile needs to know physical address for
PT_LOAD segments of direct mapped regions. Therefore this patch updates
paddr for such regions. It also sets an invalid paddr (-1) for other
regions, so that user space tool can know whether a physical address
provided in PT_LOAD is correct or not.
I do not know why it was 0, which is a valid physical address. But
certainly, it might break some user space tools, and those need to be
fixed. For example, see following code from kexec-tools
kexec/kexec-elf.c:build_mem_phdrs()
if ((phdr->p_paddr + phdr->p_memsz) < phdr->p_paddr) {
/* The memory address wraps */
if (probe_debug) {
fprintf(stderr, "ELF address wrap around\n");
}
return -1;
}
We do not need to perform above check for an invalid physical address.
I think, kexec-tools and makedumpfile will need fixup. I already have
those fixup which will be sent upstream once this patch makes through.
Pro with this approach is that, it will help to calculate variable like
page_offset, phys_base from PT_LOAD even when they are randomized and
therefore will reduce many variable and version specific values in user
space tools.
Having an ASLR offset information can help to translate an identity
mapped virtual address to a physical address. But that would be an
additional field in PT_LOAD header structure and an arch dependent
value.
Moreover, sending a valid physical address like 0 does not seem right.
So, IMHO it is better to fix that and send valid physical address when
available (identity mapped).

GUI environments seem to be becoming more agressive at scanning
filesystems, to the point where autofs cannot expire mounts at all.
This is one key reason the update of the autofs dentry info last_used
field is done in the expire system when the dentry is seen to be in use.
But somewhere along the way instances of the update has crept back into
the autofs path walk functions which, with the more aggressive file
access patterns, is preventing expiration.
Changing the update in the path walk functions allows autofs to at least
make progress in spite of frequent immediate re-mounts from file
accesses.

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.

Change the zpool/compressor param callback function to release the
zswap_pools_lock spinlock before calling param_set_charp, since that
function may sleep when it calls kmalloc with GFP_KERNEL.
While this problem has existed for a while, I wasn't able to trigger it
using a tight loop changing either/both the zpool and compressor params; I
think it's very unlikely to be an issue on the stable kernels, especially
since most zswap users will change the compressor and/or zpool from sysfs
only one time each boot - or zero times, if they add the params to the
kernel boot.

If either the compressor and/or zpool param are invalid at boot, and

Allow zswap to initialize at boot even if it can't create its pool due
to a failure to create a zpool and/or compressor. Allow those to be
created later, from the sysfs module param interface.

The two alternative implementations of dax_iomap_fault have different
prototypes, and one of them is obviously wrong as seen from this build
warning:
fs/dax.c: In function 'dax_iomap_fault':
fs/dax.c:1462:35: error: passing argument 2 of 'dax_iomap_pmd_fault' discards 'const' qualifier from pointer target type [-Werror=discarded-qualifiers]
This marks the argument 'const' as in all the related functions.

The object palm_bk3710_port_info of type ide_port_info is never
referenced anywhere after initialization by palm_bk3710_probe. It is
also passed as a parameter to ide_host_add which is called from the init
function but this call doesn't store the object reference anywhere, and
it only dereferences the values of the fields. Therefore add __initdata
to its declaration.

Pull another tracing update from Steven Rostedt:
"Commit 79c6f448c8b79c ("tracing: Fix hwlat kthread migration") fixed a
bug that was caused by a race condition in initializing the hwlat
thread. When fixing this code, I realized that it should have been
done differently. Instead of doing the rewrite and sending that to
stable, I just sent the above commit to fix the bug that should be
back ported.
This commit is on top of the quick fix commit to rewrite the code the
way it should have been written in the first place"

====================
qed: Bug fixes
Patch #1 addresses a day-one race which is dependent on the number of Vfs
[I.e., more child VFs from a single PF make it more probable].
Patch #2 corrects a race that got introduced in the last set of fixes for
qed, one that would happen each time PF transitions to UP state.
I've built & tested those against current net-next.
Please consider applying the series there.

Commit 653d2ffd6405 ("qed*: Fix link indication race") introduced another
race - one of the inner functions called from the link-change flow is
explicitly using the slowpath context dedicated PTT instead of gaining
that PTT from the caller. Since this flow can now be called from
a different context as well, we're in risk of the PTT breaking.

A PF syncronizes all IOV activity relating to its VFs
by using a single workqueue handling the work.
The workqueue would reach a bitmask of pending VF events
and act upon each in turn.
Problem is that the indication of a VF message [which sets
the 'vf event' bit for that VF] arrives and is set in
the slowpath attention context, which isn't syncronized with
the processing of the events.
When multiple VFs are present, it's possible that PF would
lose the indication of one of the VF's pending evens, leading
that VF to later timeout.
Instead of adding locks/barriers, simply move from a bitmask
into a per-VF indication inside that VF entry in the PF database.

====================
Netfilter fixes for net
The following patchset contains netfilter fixes for you net tree,
they are:
1) Missing ct zone size in the nft_ct initialization path, patch
from Florian Westphal.
2) Two patches for netfilter uapi headers, one to remove unnecessary
sysctl.h inclusion and another to fix compilation of xt_hashlimit.h
in userspace, from Dmitry V. Levin.
3) Patch to fix a sloppy change in nf_ct_expect that incorrectly
simplified nf_ct_expect_related_report() in the previous nf-next
batch. This also includes another patch for __nf_ct_expect_check()
to report success by returning 0 to keep it consistent with other
existing functions. From Jarno Rajahalme.
4) The ->walk() iterator of the new bitmap set type goes over the real
bitmap size, this results in incorrect dumps when NFTA_SET_USERDATA
is used.

l2tp_ip_backlog_recv may not return -1 if the packet gets dropped.
The return value is passed up to ip_local_deliver_finish, which treats
negative values as an IP protocol number for resubmission.

Fix xfrm_neigh_lookup to provide dst->path to the
neigh_lookup dst_ops method.
When skb is provided, the IP address in packet should already
match the dst->path address family. But for the non-skb case,
we should consider the last tunnel address as nexthop address.
