Pull arm64 updates from Will Deacon:
"There's the usual summary below, but the highlights are support for
the Armv8.6 timer extensions, KASAN support for asymmetric MTE, the
ability to kexec() with the MMU enabled and a second attempt at
switching to the generic pfn_valid() implementation.
Summary:
- Support for the Arm8.6 timer extensions, including a
self-synchronising view of the system registers to elide some
expensive ISB instructions.
- Exception table cleanup and rework so that the fixup handlers
appear correctly in backtraces.
- A handful of miscellaneous changes, the main one being selection of
CONFIG_HAVE_POSIX_CPU_TIMERS_TASK_WORK.
- More mm and pgtable cleanups.
- KASAN support for "asymmetric" MTE, where tag faults are reported
synchronously for loads (via an exception) and asynchronously for
stores (via a register).
- Support for leaving the MMU enabled during kexec relocation, which
significantly speeds up the operation.
- Minor improvements to our perf PMU drivers.
- Improvements to the compat vDSO build system, particularly when
building with LLVM=1.
- Preparatory work for handling some Coresight TRBE tracing errata.
- Cleanup and refactoring of the SVE code to pave the way for SME
support in future.
- Ensure SCS pages are unpoisoned immediately prior to freeing them
when KASAN is enabled for the vmalloc area.
- Try moving to the generic pfn_valid() implementation again now that
the DMA mapping issue from last time has been resolved.
- Numerous improvements and additions to our FPSIMD and SVE
selftests"

Pull x86 fpu updates from Thomas Gleixner:
- Cleanup of extable fixup handling to be more robust, which in turn
allows to make the FPU exception fixups more robust as well.
- Change the return code for signal frame related failures from
explicit error codes to a boolean fail/success as that's all what the
calling code evaluates.
- A large refactoring of the FPU code to prepare for adding AMX
support:
- Distangle the public header maze and remove especially the
misnomed kitchen sink internal.h which is despite it's name
included all over the place.
- Add a proper abstraction for the register buffer storage (struct
fpstate) which allows to dynamically size the buffer at runtime
by flipping the pointer to the buffer container from the default
container which is embedded in task_struct::tread::fpu to a
dynamically allocated container with a larger register buffer.
- Convert the code over to the new fpstate mechanism.
- Consolidate the KVM FPU handling by moving the FPU related code
into the FPU core which removes the number of exports and avoids
adding even more export when AMX has to be supported in KVM.
This also removes duplicated code which was of course
unnecessary different and incomplete in the KVM copy.
- Simplify the KVM FPU buffer handling by utilizing the new
fpstate container and just switching the buffer pointer from the
user space buffer to the KVM guest buffer when entering
vcpu_run() and flipping it back when leaving the function. This
cuts the memory requirements of a vCPU for FPU buffers in half
and avoids pointless memory copy operations.
This also solves the so far unresolved problem of adding AMX
support because the current FPU buffer handling of KVM inflicted
a circular dependency between adding AMX support to the core and
to KVM. With the new scheme of switching fpstate AMX support can
be added to the core code without affecting KVM.
- Replace various variables with proper data structures so the
extra information required for adding dynamically enabled FPU
features (AMX) can be added in one place
- Add AMX (Advanced Matrix eXtensions) support (finally):
AMX is a large XSTATE component which is going to be available with
Saphire Rapids XEON CPUs. The feature comes with an extra MSR
(MSR_XFD) which allows to trap the (first) use of an AMX related
instruction, which has two benefits:
1) It allows the kernel to control access to the feature
2) It allows the kernel to dynamically allocate the large register
state buffer instead of burdening every task with the the extra
8K or larger state storage.
It would have been great to gain this kind of control already with
AVX512.
The support comes with the following infrastructure components:
1) arch_prctl() to
- read the supported features (equivalent to XGETBV(0))
- read the permitted features for a task
- request permission for a dynamically enabled feature
Permission is granted per process, inherited on fork() and
cleared on exec(). The permission policy of the kernel is
restricted to sigaltstack size validation, but the syscall
obviously allows further restrictions via seccomp etc.
2) A stronger sigaltstack size validation for sys_sigaltstack(2)
which takes granted permissions and the potentially resulting
larger signal frame into account. This mechanism can also be used
to enforce factual sigaltstack validation independent of dynamic
features to help with finding potential victims of the 2K
sigaltstack size constant which is broken since AVX512 support
was added.
3) Exception handling for #NM traps to catch first use of a extended
feature via a new cause MSR. If the exception was caused by the
use of such a feature, the handler checks permission for that
feature. If permission has not been granted, the handler sends a
SIGILL like the #UD handler would do if the feature would have
been disabled in XCR0. If permission has been granted, then a new
fpstate which fits the larger buffer requirement is allocated.
In the unlikely case that this allocation fails, the handler
sends SIGSEGV to the task. That's not elegant, but unavoidable as
the other discussed options of preallocation or full per task
permissions come with their own set of horrors for kernel and/or
userspace. So this is the lesser of the evils and SIGSEGV caused
by unexpected memory allocation failures is not a fundamentally
new concept either.
When allocation succeeds, the fpstate properties are filled in to
reflect the extended feature set and the resulting sizes, the
fpu::fpstate pointer is updated accordingly and the trap is
disarmed for this task permanently.
4) Enumeration and size calculations
5) Trap switching via MSR_XFD
The XFD (eXtended Feature Disable) MSR is context switched with
the same life time rules as the FPU register state itself. The
mechanism is keyed off with a static key which is default
disabled so !AMX equipped CPUs have zero overhead. On AMX enabled
CPUs the overhead is limited by comparing the tasks XFD value
with a per CPU shadow variable to avoid redundant MSR writes. In
case of switching from a AMX using task to a non AMX using task
or vice versa, the extra MSR write is obviously inevitable.
All other places which need to be aware of the variable feature
sets and resulting variable sizes are not affected at all because
they retrieve the information (feature set, sizes) unconditonally
from the fpstate properties.
6) Enable the new AMX states
Note, this is relatively new code despite the fact that AMX support
is in the works for more than a year now.
The big refactoring of the FPU code, which allowed to do a proper
integration has been started exactly 3 weeks ago. Refactoring of the
existing FPU code and of the original AMX patches took a week and has
been subject to extensive review and testing. The only fallout which
has not been caught in review and testing right away was restricted
to AMX enabled systems, which is completely irrelevant for anyone
outside Intel and their early access program. There might be dragons
lurking as usual, but so far the fine grained refactoring has held up
and eventual yet undetected fallout is bisectable and should be
easily addressable before the 5.16 release. Famous last words...
Many thanks to Chang Bae and Dave Hansen for working hard on this and
also to the various test teams at Intel who reserved extra capacity
to follow the rapid development of this closely which provides the
confidence level required to offer this rather large update for
inclusion into 5.16-rc1

Pull locking updates from Thomas Gleixner:
- Move futex code into kernel/futex/ and split up the kitchen sink into
seperate files to make integration of sys_futex_waitv() simpler.
- Add a new sys_futex_waitv() syscall which allows to wait on multiple
futexes.
The main use case is emulating Windows' WaitForMultipleObjects which
allows Wine to improve the performance of Windows Games. Also native
Linux games can benefit from this interface as this is a common wait
pattern for this kind of applications.
- Add context to ww_mutex_trylock() to provide a path for i915 to
rework their eviction code step by step without making lockdep upset
until the final steps of rework are completed. It's also useful for
regulator and TTM to avoid dropping locks in the non contended path.

Pull erofs updates from Gao Xiang:
"There are some new features available for this cycle. Firstly, EROFS
LZMA algorithm support, specifically called MicroLZMA, is available as
an option for embedded devices, LiveCDs and/or as the secondary
auxiliary compression algorithm besides the primary algorithm in one
file.
In order to better support the LZMA fixed-sized output compression,
especially for 4KiB pcluster size (which has lowest memory pressure
thus useful for memory-sensitive scenarios), Lasse introduced a new
LZMA header/container format called MicroLZMA to minimize the original
LZMA1 header (for example, we don't need to waste 4-byte dictionary
size and another 8-byte uncompressed size, which can be calculated by
fs directly, for each pcluster) and enable EROFS fixed-sized output
compression.
Note that MicroLZMA can also be later used by other things in addition
to EROFS too where wasting minimal amount of space for headers is
important and it can be only compiled by enabling XZ_DEC_MICROLZMA.
MicroLZMA has been supported by the latest upstream XZ embedded [1] &
XZ utils [2], apply the latest related XZ embedded upstream patches by
the XZ author Lasse here.
Secondly, multiple device is also supported in this cycle, which is
designed for multi-layer container images. By working together with
inter-layer data deduplication and compression, we can achieve the
next high-performance container image solution. Our team will announce
the new Nydus container image service [3] implementation with new RAFS
v6 (EROFS-compatible) format in Open Source Summit 2021 China [4]
soon.
Besides, the secondary compression head support and readmore
decompression strategy are also included in this cycle. There are also
some minor bugfixes and cleanups, as always.

Pull memory folios from Matthew Wilcox:
"Add memory folios, a new type to represent either order-0 pages or the
head page of a compound page. This should be enough infrastructure to
support filesystems converting from pages to folios.
The point of all this churn is to allow filesystems and the page cache
to manage memory in larger chunks than PAGE_SIZE. The original plan
was to use compound pages like THP does, but I ran into problems with
some functions expecting only a head page while others expect the
precise page containing a particular byte.
The folio type allows a function to declare that it's expecting only a
head page. Almost incidentally, this allows us to remove various calls
to VM_BUG_ON(PageTail(page)) and compound_head().
This converts just parts of the core MM and the page cache. For 5.17,
we intend to convert various filesystems (XFS and AFS are ready; other
filesystems may make it) and also convert more of the MM and page
cache to folios. For 5.18, multi-page folios should be ready.
The multi-page folios offer some improvement to some workloads. The
80% win is real, but appears to be an artificial benchmark (postgres
startup, which isn't a serious workload). Real workloads (eg building
the kernel, running postgres in a steady state, etc) seem to benefit
between 0-10%. I haven't heard of any performance losses as a result
of this series. Nobody has done any serious performance tuning; I
imagine that tweaking the readahead algorithm could provide some more
interesting wins. There are also other places where we could choose to
create large folios and currently do not, such as writes that are
larger than PAGE_SIZE.
I'd like to thank all my reviewers who've offered review/ack tags:
Christoph Hellwig, David Howells, Jan Kara, Jeff Layton, Johannes
Weiner, Kirill A. Shutemov, Michal Hocko, Mike Rapoport, Vlastimil
Babka, William Kucharski, Yu Zhao and Zi Yan.
I'd also like to thank those who gave feedback I incorporated but
haven't offered up review tags for this part of the series: Nick
Piggin, Mel Gorman, Ming Lei, Darrick Wong, Ted Ts'o, John Hubbard,
Hugh Dickins, and probably a few others who I forget"

This implements the CONFIG_THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK option.
With this change:
- before thread_info was part of the stack and located at the beginning of the stack
- now the thread_info struct is moved and located inside the task_struct structure
- the stack is allocated and handled like the major other platforms
- drop the cpu field of thread_info and use instead the one in task_struct

This swaps the descriptions of the 0 and 1 values to match
what the driver actually does with this property.
The background here is somewhat confusing. The codec has two
invert bits for the tip sense. The DT property should have been
for the TIP_SENSE_INV bit, which is the one that controls the
detect block. Due to some misunderstanding of the hardware the
driver actually implemented setting of the TS_INV bit, which is
only for swapping the sense of the interrupt bits. The description
was taken from the datasheet and refers to TIP_SENSE_INV but
unfortunately TS_INV has a different purpose and the net effect
of changing it is the reverse of what was intended (this is not
clearly described in the datasheet). So the ts-inv settings have
always done the exact opposite of what the description said.
Given the age of the driver, it's too late now to swap the meanings
of the values, so the description is changed to match the behaviour.
They have been annotated with the terminology used in the datasheet
to avoid the confusion of which one corresponds to what the datasheet
calls "inverted tip sense".

Mention the 'Link' tag in the section about adding URLs to the commit
msg, to make it clearer they "_primarily_ [...] should be about
background", as Linus recently stated (see the link below). That makes
the explanation also easier to find with a text search. For the same
reason and to improve comprehensibility provide an example, too.
Slightly improve the text at the same time to make it more obvious
developers are meant to add links to issue reports in mailing list
archives, as those allow regression tracking efforts to automatically
check which bugs got resolved.
Move the section also downwards slightly, to reduce jumping back and
forth between aspects relevant for the top and the bottom part of the
commit msg.
