Pull kthread updates from Eric Biederman: "This updates init and user mode helper tasks to be ordinary user mode tasks. Commit 40966e316f86 ("kthread: Ensure struct kthread is present for all kthreads") caused init and the user mode helper threads that call kernel_execve to have struct kthread allocated for them. This struct kthread going away during execve in turned made a use after free of struct kthread possible. Here, commit 343f4c49f243 ("kthread: Don't allocate kthread_struct for init and umh") is enough to fix the use after free and is simple enough to be backportable. The rest of the changes pass struct kernel_clone_args to clean things up and cause the code to make sense. In making init and the user mode helpers tasks purely user mode tasks I ran into two complications. The function task_tick_numa was detecting tasks without an mm by testing for the presence of PF_KTHREAD. The initramfs code in populate_initrd_image was using flush_delayed_fput to ensuere the closing of all it's file descriptors was complete, and flush_delayed_fput does not work in a userspace thread. I have looked and looked and more complications and in my code review I have not found any, and neither has anyone else with the code sitting in linux-next" * tag 'kthread-cleanups-for-v5.19' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace: sched: Update task_tick_numa to ignore tasks without an mm fork: Stop allowing kthreads to call execve fork: Explicitly set PF_KTHREAD init: Deal with the init process being a user mode process fork: Generalize PF_IO_WORKER handling fork: Explicity test for idle tasks in copy_thread fork: Pass struct kernel_clone_args into copy_thread kthread: Don't allocate kthread_struct for init and umh

No drivers of the legacy API are left at this point, so as a next step the old API can be removed.

fork: Generalize PF_IO_WORKER handling

2022-05-07T14:01:59Z

Add fn and fn_arg members into struct kernel_clone_args and test for them in copy_thread (instead of testing for PF_KTHREAD | PF_IO_WORKER). This allows any task that wants to be a user space task that only runs in kernel mode to use this functionality. The code on x86 is an exception and still retains a PF_KTHREAD test because x86 unlikely everything else handles kthreads slightly differently than user space tasks that start with a function. The functions that created tasks that start with a function have been updated to set ".fn" and ".fn_arg" instead of ".stack" and ".stack_size". These functions are fork_idle(), create_io_thread(), kernel_thread(), and user_mode_thread(). Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20220506141512.516114-4-ebiederm@xmission.com Signed-off-by: "Eric W.

fork: Pass struct kernel_clone_args into copy_thread

2022-05-07T14:01:48Z

With io_uring we have started supporting tasks that are for most purposes user space tasks that exclusively run code in kernel mode. The kernel task that exec's init and tasks that exec user mode helpers are also user mode tasks that just run kernel code until they call kernel execve. Pass kernel_clone_args into copy_thread so these oddball tasks can be supported more cleanly and easily. v2: Fix spelling of kenrel_clone_args on h8300 Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20220506141512.516114-2-ebiederm@xmission.com Signed-off-by: "Eric W.

pwm: Add support for Xilinx AXI Timer

2022-04-22T16:30:44Z

This adds PWM support for Xilinx LogiCORE IP AXI soft timers commonly found on Xilinx FPGAs. At the moment clock control is very basic: we just enable the clock during probe and pin the frequency. In the future, someone could add support for disabling the clock when not in use. Some common code has been specially demarcated. While currently only used by the PWM driver, it is anticipated that it may be split off in the future to be used by the timer driver as well. This driver was written with reference to Xilinx DS764 for v1.03.a [1].

Pull ptrace cleanups from Eric Biederman: "This set of changes removes tracehook.h, moves modification of all of the ptrace fields inside of siglock to remove races, adds a missing permission check to ptrace.c The removal of tracehook.h is quite significant as it has been a major source of confusion in recent years. Much of that confusion was around task_work and TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL (which I have now decoupled making the semantics clearer). For people who don't know tracehook.h is a vestiage of an attempt to implement uprobes like functionality that was never fully merged, and was later superseeded by uprobes when uprobes was merged. For many years now we have been removing what tracehook functionaly a little bit at a time.
