Pull Kbuild updates from Masahiro Yamada:

 - Remove potentially incomplete targets when Kbuid is interrupted by
   SIGINT etc in case GNU Make may miss to do that when stderr is piped
   to another program.

 - Rewrite the single target build so it works more correctly.

 - Fix rpm-pkg builds with V=1.

 - List top-level subdirectories in ./Kbuild.

 - Ignore auto-generated __kstrtab_* and __kstrtabns_* symbols in
   kallsyms.

 - Avoid two different modules in lib/zstd/ having shared code, which
   potentially causes building the common code as build-in and modular
   back-and-forth.

 - Unify two modpost invocations to optimize the build process.

 - Remove head-y syntax in favor of linker scripts for placing
   particular sections in the head of vmlinux.

 - Bump the minimal GNU Make version to 3.82.

 - Clean up misc Makefiles and scripts.

The objects placed at the head of vmlinux need special treatments:

 - arch/$(SRCARCH)/Makefile adds them to head-y in order to place
   them before other archives in the linker command line.

 - arch/$(SRCARCH)/kernel/Makefile adds them to extra-y instead of
   obj-y to avoid them going into built-in.a.

This commit gets rid of the latter.

Create vmlinux.a to collect all the objects that are unconditionally
linked to vmlinux. The objects listed in head-y are moved to the head
of vmlinux.a by using 'ar m'.

With this, arch/$(SRCARCH)/kernel/Makefile can consistently use obj-y
for builtin objects.

There is no *.o that is directly linked to vmlinux. Drop unneeded code
in scripts/clang-tools/gen_compile_commands.py.

$(AR) mPi needs 'T' to workaround the llvm-ar bug. The fix was suggested
by Nathan Chancellor [1].

<title>microblaze: Add support for error injection</title>

<content type='text'>
To inject the error using the tmr inject IP reset vectors need to be placed
in lmb(bram) due to the limitation in HW when this code runs out of DDR.
Below code adds the error inject code to the .init.ivt section to copy
it in machine_early_init to lmb/Bram location. C_BASE_VECTORS which allow
moving reset vectors out of 0 location is not currently supported by
Microblaze architecture, that's why all the time reset vectors with
injection code is all the time copied to address 0.

As of now getting this functionality working CPU switches to real mode
and simply jumps to bram, which causes triggering of fault which continues
to call_xmb_manager_break break handler which will at the end calls the
error count callback function and performs recovery.

<title>microblaze: Add custom break vector handler for mb manager</title>

<content type='text'>
When the TMR Manager detects a fault Lockstep state it is signaled to the
MicroBlaze processors by asserting a break signal, When Microblaze gets
a break vector from tmr Microblaze it's needed to clear/block the break
bit in the tmr manager before performing recovery.
In order to perform recovery need to perform the following steps.
1) Store all internal MicroBlaze registers in RAM
2) Execute a suspend instruction which asserts the reset signal
3) Restore all registers from RAM and execute an RTBD instruction to
return from the reset handler, to resume execution at the place
where the break occurred.

This API supports getting called from kernel space only.

<content type='text'>
Triple Modular Redundancy (TMR) Microblaze solution provides soft error
injection, detection, correction and recovery for Microblaze cores in the
system. The Xilinx/AMD Triple Modular Redundancy (TMR) solution in Vivado
provides all the necessary building blocks to implement a redundant
triplicated MicroBlaze subsystem. This processing subsystem is
fault-tolerant and continues to operate nominally after encountering an
error. Together with the capability to detect and recover from errors,
the implementation ensures the reliability of the entire subsystem.

When the break vector gets asserted because of error injection,
the break signal must be blocked before exiting from the break handler,
This commit adds support for xmb_manager_register api which updates the
TMR manager address and control register and error count and reset callback
function arguments, which will be used by the break handler to block the
break and call the error count callback function and reset callback
function.

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"

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().

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.
