The old _do_fork() helper is removed in favor of the new kernel_clone() helper.
The latter adheres to naming conventions for kernel internal syscall helpers.

The Extended Error Code Bitmap (xec_bitmap) for a Scalable MCA bank type
was intended to be used by the kernel to filter out invalid error codes
on a system. However, this is unnecessary after a few product releases
because the hardware will only report valid error codes. Thus, there's
no need for it with future systems.
Remove the xec_bitmap field and all references to it.

resctrl/core.c defines get_cache_id() for use in its cpu-hotplug
callbacks. This gets the id attribute of the cache at the corresponding
level of a CPU.
Later rework means this private function needs to be shared. Move
it to the header file.
The name conflicts with a different definition in intel_cacheinfo.c,
name it get_cpu_cacheinfo_id() to show its relation with
get_cpu_cacheinfo().
Now this is visible on other architectures, check the id attribute
has actually been set.

Intel CPUs expect the cache bitmap provided by user-space to have on a
single span of 1s, whereas AMD can support bitmaps like 0xf00f. Arm's
MPAM support also allows sparse bitmaps.
Similarly, Intel CPUs check at least one bit set, whereas AMD CPUs are
quite happy with an empty bitmap. Arm's MPAM allows an empty bitmap.
To move resctrl out to /fs/, platform differences like this need to be
explained.
Add two resource properties arch_has_{empty,sparse}_bitmaps. Test these
around the relevant parts of cbm_validate().
Merging the validate calls causes AMD to gain the min_cbm_bits test
needed for Haswell, but as it always sets this value to 1, it will never
match.

Now after arch_needs_linear has been added, the parse_bw() calls are
almost the same between AMD and Intel.
The difference is '!is_mba_sc()', which is not checked on AMD. This
will always be true on AMD CPUs as mba_sc cannot be enabled as
is_mba_linear() is false.
Removing this duplication means user-space visible behaviour and
error messages are not validated or generated in different places.

MBA difference
The configuration values user-space provides to the resctrl filesystem
are ABI. To make this work on another architecture, all the ABI bits
should be moved out of /arch/x86 and under /fs.
To do this, the differences between AMD and Intel CPUs needs to be
explained to resctrl via resource properties, instead of function
pointers that let the arch code accept subtly different values on
different platforms/architectures.
For MBA, Intel CPUs reject configuration attempts for non-linear
resources, whereas AMD ignore this field as its MBA resource is never
linear. To merge the parse/validate functions, this difference needs to
be explained.
Add struct rdt_membw::arch_needs_linear to indicate the arch code needs
the linear property to be true to configure this resource. AMD can set
this and delay_linear to false. Intel can set arch_needs_linear to
true to keep the existing "No support for non-linear MB domains" error
message for affected platforms.

rdtgroup_tasks_assigned() and show_rdt_tasks() loop over threads testing
for a CTRL/MON group match by closid/rmid with the provided rdtgrp.
Further down the file are helpers to do this, move these further up and
make use of them here.
These helpers additionally check for alloc/mon capable. This is harmless
as rdtgroup_mkdir() tests these capable flags before allowing the config

pte lock is never acquired in-IRQ context so it does not require interrupts
to be disabled. The lock is a regular spinlock which cannot be acquired
with interrupts disabled on RT.
RT complains about pte_lock() in __text_poke() because it's invoked after
disabling interrupts.
__text_poke() has to disable interrupts as use_temporary_mm() expects
interrupts to be off because it invokes switch_mm_irqs_off() and uses
per-CPU (current active mm) data.
Move the PTE lock handling outside the interrupt disabled region.

Xen is requiring 64-bit machines today and since Xen 4.14 it can be
built without 32-bit PV guest support. There is no need to carry the
burden of 32-bit PV guest support in the kernel any longer, as new
guests can be either HVM or PVH, or they can use a 64 bit kernel.
Remove the 32-bit Xen PV support from the kernel.

Pull locking updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"A set of locking fixes and updates:
- Untangle the header spaghetti which causes build failures in
various situations caused by the lockdep additions to seqcount to
validate that the write side critical sections are non-preemptible.
- The seqcount associated lock debug addons which were blocked by the
above fallout.
seqcount writers contrary to seqlock writers must be externally
serialized, which usually happens via locking - except for strict
per CPU seqcounts. As the lock is not part of the seqcount, lockdep
cannot validate that the lock is held.
This new debug mechanism adds the concept of associated locks.
sequence count has now lock type variants and corresponding
initializers which take a pointer to the associated lock used for
writer serialization. If lockdep is enabled the pointer is stored
and write_seqcount_begin() has a lockdep assertion to validate that
the lock is held.
Aside of the type and the initializer no other code changes are
required at the seqcount usage sites. The rest of the seqcount API
is unchanged and determines the type at compile time with the help
of _Generic which is possible now that the minimal GCC version has
been moved up.
Adding this lockdep coverage unearthed a handful of seqcount bugs
which have been addressed already independent of this.
While generally useful this comes with a Trojan Horse twist: On RT
kernels the write side critical section can become preemtible if
the writers are serialized by an associated lock, which leads to
the well known reader preempts writer livelock. RT prevents this by
storing the associated lock pointer independent of lockdep in the
seqcount and changing the reader side to block on the lock when a
reader detects that a writer is in the write side critical section.
- Conversion of seqcount usage sites to associated types and
initializers"

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
- The biggest news in that the tracing ring buffer can now time events
that interrupted other ring buffer events.
Before this change, if an interrupt came in while recording another
event, and that interrupt also had an event, those events would all

Now, with the new design, those events will have a unique time stamp
and rightfully display the time for those events that were recorded
while interrupting another event.
- Bootconfig how has an "override" operator that lets the users have a
default config, but then add options to override the default.

Patch series "mm: cleanup usage of <asm/pgalloc.h>"
Most architectures have very similar versions of pXd_alloc_one() and
pXd_free_one() for intermediate levels of page table. These patches add
generic versions of these functions in <asm-generic/pgalloc.h> and enable
use of the generic functions where appropriate.
In addition, functions declared and defined in <asm/pgalloc.h> headers are
used mostly by core mm and early mm initialization in arch and there is no
actual reason to have the <asm/pgalloc.h> included all over the place.
The first patch in this series removes unneeded includes of
<asm/pgalloc.h>
In the end it didn't work out as neatly as I hoped and moving
pXd_alloc_track() definitions to <asm-generic/pgalloc.h> would require
unnecessary changes to arches that have custom page table allocations, so
I've decided to move lib/ioremap.c to mm/ and make pgalloc-track.h local
to mm/.
This patch (of 8):
In most cases <asm/pgalloc.h> header is required only for allocations of
page table memory. Most of the .c files that include that header do not
use symbols declared in <asm/pgalloc.h> and do not require that header.
As for the other header files that used to include <asm/pgalloc.h>, it is
possible to move that include into the .c file that actually uses symbols
from <asm/pgalloc.h> and drop the include from the header file.
The process was somewhat automated using
sed -i -E '/[<"]asm\/pgalloc\.h/d' \
$(grep -L -w -f /tmp/xx \
$(git grep -E -l '[<"]asm/pgalloc\.h'))
where /tmp/xx contains all the symbols defined in
arch/*/include/asm/pgalloc.h.

On systems that have virtualization disabled or unsupported, sysfs

$ cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/vulnerabilities/itlb_multihit
KVM: Vulnerable
System is not vulnerable to DoS attack from a rogue guest when
virtualization is disabled or unsupported in the hardware. Change the
mitigation reporting for these cases.

An xstate size check warning is triggered on machines which support
Architectural LBRs.
XSAVE consistency problem, dumping leaves
WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 0 at arch/x86/kernel/fpu/xstate.c:649 fpu__init_system_xstate+0x4d4/0xd0e
Modules linked in:
CPU: 0 PID: 0 Comm: swapper Not tainted intel-arch_lbr+
RIP: 0010:fpu__init_system_xstate+0x4d4/0xd0e
The xstate size check routine, init_xstate_size(), compares the size
retrieved from the hardware with the size of task->fpu, which is
calculated by the software.
The size from the hardware is the total size of the enabled xstates in
XCR0 | IA32_XSS. Architectural LBR state is a dynamic supervisor
feature, which sets the corresponding bit in the IA32_XSS at boot time.
The size from the hardware includes the size of the Architectural LBR
state.
However, a dynamic supervisor feature doesn't allocate a buffer in the
task->fpu. The size of task->fpu doesn't include the size of the
Architectural LBR state. The mismatch will trigger the warning.
Three options as below were considered to fix the issue:
- Correct the size from the hardware by subtracting the size of the
dynamic supervisor features.
The purpose of the check is to compare the size CPU told with the size
of the XSAVE buffer, which is calculated by the software. If the
software mucks with the number from hardware, it removes the value of
the check.
This option is not a good option.
- Prevent the hardware from counting the size of the dynamic supervisor
feature by temporarily removing the corresponding bits in IA32_XSS.
Two extra MSR writes are required to flip the IA32_XSS. The option is
not pretty, but it is workable. The check is only called once at early
boot time. The synchronization or context-switching doesn't need to be
worried.
This option is implemented here.
- Remove the check entirely, because the check hasn't found any real
problems. The option may be an alternative as option 2.
This option is not implemented here.
Add a new function, get_xsaves_size_no_dynamic(), which retrieves the
total size without the dynamic supervisor features from the hardware.
The size will be used to compare with the size of task->fpu.

The ACRN Hypervisor did not support x2APIC and thus x2APIC support was
disabled by always returning false when VM checked for x2APIC support.
ACRN received full support of x2APIC and exports the capability through
CPUID feature bits.
Let VM decide if it needs to switch to x2APIC mode according to CPUID
features.

Pull x86 fsgsbase from Thomas Gleixner:
"Support for FSGSBASE. Almost 5 years after the first RFC to support
it, this has been brought into a shape which is maintainable and
actually works.
This final version was done by Sasha Levin who took it up after Intel
dropped the ball. Sasha discovered that the SGX (sic!) offerings out
there ship rogue kernel modules enabling FSGSBASE behind the kernels
back which opens an instantanious unpriviledged root hole.
The FSGSBASE instructions provide a considerable speedup of the
context switch path and enable user space to write GSBASE without
kernel interaction. This enablement requires careful handling of the
exception entries which go through the paranoid entry path as they
can no longer rely on the assumption that user GSBASE is positive (as
enforced via prctl() on non FSGSBASE enabled systemn).
All other entries (syscalls, interrupts and exceptions) can still just
utilize SWAPGS unconditionally when the entry comes from user space.
Converting these entries to use FSGSBASE has no benefit as SWAPGS is
only marginally slower than WRGSBASE and locating and retrieving the
kernel GSBASE value is not a free operation either. The real benefit
of RD/WRGSBASE is the avoidance of the MSR reads and writes.
The changes come with appropriate selftests and have held up in field
testing against the (sanitized) Graphene-SGX driver"

Pull fork cleanups from Christian Brauner:
"This is cleanup series from when we reworked a chunk of the process
creation paths in the kernel and switched to struct
{kernel_}clone_args.
High-level this does two main things:
- Remove the double export of both do_fork() and _do_fork() where
do_fork() used the incosistent legacy clone calling convention.
Now we only export _do_fork() which is based on struct
kernel_clone_args.
- Remove the copy_thread_tls()/copy_thread() split making the
architecture specific HAVE_COYP_THREAD_TLS config option obsolete.
This switches all remaining architectures to select
HAVE_COPY_THREAD_TLS and thus to the copy_thread_tls() calling
convention. The current split makes the process creation codepaths
more convoluted than they need to be. Each architecture has their own
copy_thread() function unless it selects HAVE_COPY_THREAD_TLS then it
has a copy_thread_tls() function.
The split is not needed anymore nowadays, all architectures support
CLONE_SETTLS but quite a few of them never bothered to select
HAVE_COPY_THREAD_TLS and instead simply continued to use copy_thread()
and use the old calling convention. Removing this split cleans up the
process creation codepaths and paves the way for implementing clone3()
on such architectures since it requires the copy_thread_tls() calling
convention.
After having made each architectures support copy_thread_tls() this
series simply renames that function back to copy_thread(). It also
switches all architectures that call do_fork() directly over to
_do_fork() and the struct kernel_clone_args calling convention. This
is a corollary of switching the architectures that did not yet support
it over to copy_thread_tls() since do_fork() is conditional on not
supporting copy_thread_tls() (Mostly because it lacks a separate
argument for tls which is trivial to fix but there's no need for this
function to exist.).
The do_fork() removal is in itself already useful as it allows to to
remove the export of both do_fork() and _do_fork() we currently have
in favor of only _do_fork(). This has already been discussed back when
we added clone3(). The legacy clone() calling convention is - as is
probably well-known - somewhat odd:
#
# ABI hall of shame
#
config CLONE_BACKWARDS
config CLONE_BACKWARDS2
config CLONE_BACKWARDS3
that is aggravated by the fact that some architectures such as sparc
follow the CLONE_BACKWARDSx calling convention but don't really select
the corresponding config option since they call do_fork() directly.
So do_fork() enforces a somewhat arbitrary calling convention in the
first place that doesn't really help the individual architectures that
deviate from it. They can thus simply be switched to _do_fork()
enforcing a single calling convention. (I really hope that any new
architectures will __not__ try to implement their own calling
conventions...)
Most architectures already have made a similar switch (m68k comes to
mind).
Overall this removes more code than it adds even with a good portion
of added comments. It simplifies a chunk of arch specific assembly
either by moving the code into C or by simply rewriting the assembly.
Architectures that have been touched in non-trivial ways have all been
actually boot and stress tested: sparc and ia64 have been tested with
Debian 9 images. They are the two architectures which have been
touched the most. All non-trivial changes to architectures have seen
acks from the relevant maintainers. nios2 with a custom built
buildroot image. h8300 I couldn't get something bootable to test on
but the changes have been fairly automatic and I'm sure we'll hear
people yell if I broke something there.
All other architectures that have been touched in trivial ways have
been compile tested for each single patch of the series via git rebase
-x "make ..." v5.8-rc2. arm{64} and x86{_64} have been boot tested
even though they have just been trivially touched (removal of the
HAVE_COPY_THREAD_TLS macro from their Kconfig) because well they are
basically "core architectures" and since it is trivial to get your
hands on a useable image"

Pull uninitialized_var() macro removal from Kees Cook:
"This is long overdue, and has hidden too many bugs over the years. The
series has several "by hand" fixes, and then a trivial treewide
replacement.

"Filter MSR writes from user-space by default, and print a syslog entry
