When Spectre mitigation is required, __put_user() needs to include
check_uaccess. This is already the case for put_user(), so just make

A mispredicted conditional call to set_fs could result in the wrong
addr_limit being forwarded under speculation to a subsequent access_ok
check, potentially forming part of a spectre-v1 attack using uaccess
routines.
This patch prevents this forwarding from taking place, but putting heavy
barriers in set_fs after writing the addr_limit.
Porting commit c2f0ad4fc089cff8 ("arm64: uaccess: Prevent speculative use

The purpose of CONFIG_CPU_32v3 is to avoid ldrh/strh on the RiscPC,
which is pretty much an ARMv4 device, except its bus will choke on the
half-words. The way to make the C compiler not output ldrh/strh is with
-march=armv3, which doesn't support them in the ISA. However, this
prevents certain cryptography code from working that uses instructions
like umull. Fortunately there's also -march=armv3m that does support
those, making it possible to continue assembling optimized cryptography
routines for our beloved RiscPC.

While in theory multiple unwinders could be compiled in, it does
not make sense in practise. Use a choice to make the unwinder
selection mutually exclusive and mandatory.
Already before this commit it has not been possible to deselect
FRAME_POINTER. Remove the obsolete comment.
Furthermore, to produce a meaningful backtrace with FRAME_POINTER
enabled the kernel needs a specific function prologue:
mov ip, sp
stmfd sp!, {fp, ip, lr, pc}
sub fp, ip, #4
To get to the required prologue gcc uses apcs and no-sched-prolog.
This compiler options are not available on clang, and clang is not
able to generate the required prologue. Make the FRAME_POINTER
config symbol depending on !clang.

It may happen that when we relocate the kernel we corrupt other
sensible memory (e.g. the memory needed by U-Boot for dealing
with bootm command) while copying the kernel. If we overwrite
the content of the memory area used by U-Boot's command bootm
(described by U-Boot's parameters bootm_low and bootm_size),
the kernel won't be able to boot. Troubleshooting the problem
then is not straightforward.
This commit allows the user to easily print information on
where the kernel gets copied from/to in order to help with the
design of the system memory map (e.g. bootm_low and bootm_size)
at boot up.

IO_SPACE_LIMIT is the ending address of the PCI IO space, i.e
something like 0xfffff (and not 0x100000).
Therefore, when offset = 0xf0000 is passed as argument, this function
fails even though the offset + SZ_64K fits below the
IO_SPACE_LIMIT. This makes the last chunk of 64 KB of the I/O space
not usable as it cannot be mapped.
This patch fixes that by substracing 1 to offset + SZ_64K, so that we
compare the addrss of the last byte of the I/O space against
IO_SPACE_LIMIT instead of the address of the first byte of what is
after the I/O space.

This is not normally noticeable, but repeated forks are unnecessarily
expensive because they repeatedly dirty the parent page tables during
the page table copy operation.
It's trivial to just avoid write protecting the page table entry if it
was already not writable.
This patch was inspired by
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=200447
which points to an ancient "waste time re-doing fork" issue in the
presence of lots of signals.
That bug was fixed by Eric Biederman's signal handling series
culminating in commit c3ad2c3b02e9 ("signal: Don't restart fork when
signals come in"), but the unnecessary work for repeated forks is still
work just fixing, particularly since the fix is trivial.

At the point where r is being checked for different values, r is always
going to be equal to 2 as the previous if statements jump to end or end1
if r is not 2. Hence the assignment to err can be simplified to just
err an assignment without any checks on the value or r.

Enabling the interrupt early, before power has been applied to the
device, can result in an interrupt being delivered too early if:
- the IOMMU shares an interrupt with a VOP
- the VOP has a pending interrupt (after a kexec, for example)
In these conditions, we end-up taking the interrupt without
the IOMMU being ready to handle the interrupt (not powered on).
Moving the interrupt request past the pm_runtime_enable() call
makes sure we can at least access the IOMMU registers. Note that
this is only a partial fix, and that the VOP interrupt will still
be screaming until the VOP driver kicks in, which advocates for
a more synchronized interrupt enabling/disabling approach.

pm_runtime_get_if_in_use can fail: either PM has been disabled
altogether (-EINVAL), or the device hasn't been enabled yet (0).
Sadly, the Rockchip IOMMU driver tends to conflate the two things
by considering a non-zero return value as successful.
This has the consequence of hiding other bugs, so let's handle this
case throughout the driver, with a WARN_ON_ONCE so that we can try
and work out what happened.

Since there is hardly any reason for this configuration option not

The idle-states binding documentation[1] mentions that the
'entry-method' property is required on 64-bit platforms and must be
set to "psci".
commit a13f18f59d26 ("Documentation: arm: Fix typo in the idle-states
bindings examples") attempted to fix this earlier but clearly more is
needed.
Fix the cpu-capacity.txt documentation that uses the incorrect value so
we don't get copy-paste errors like these. Clarify the language in
idle-states.txt by removing the reference to the psci bindings that
might be causing this confusion.
Finally, fix devicetrees of various boards to reflect current
documentation.

Two users have reported [1] that they have an "extremely unlikely" system
with more than MAX_PA/2 memory and L1TF mitigation is not effective. In
fact it's a CPU with 36bits phys limit (64GB) and 32GB memory, but due to
holes in the e820 map, the main region is almost 500MB over the 32GB limit:
[ 0.000000] BIOS-e820: [mem 0x0000000100000000-0x000000081effffff] usable
Suggestions to use 'mem=32G' to enable the L1TF mitigation while losing the
500MB revealed, that there's an off-by-one error in the check in
l1tf_select_mitigation().
l1tf_pfn_limit() returns the last usable pfn (inclusive) and the range
check in the mitigation path does not take this into account.
Instead of amending the range check, make l1tf_pfn_limit() return the first
PFN which is over the limit which is less error prone. Adjust the other
users accordingly.

Use new return type vm_fault_t for fault handler. For now, this is just
documenting that the function returns a VM_FAULT value rather than an
errno. Once all instances are converted, vm_fault_t will become a
distinct type.
Ref-> commit 1c8f422059ae ("mm: change return type to vm_fault_t")
The aim is to change the return type of finish_fault() and
handle_mm_fault() to vm_fault_t type. As part of that clean up return
type of all other recursively called functions have been changed to
vm_fault_t type.
The places from where handle_mm_fault() is getting invoked will be
change to vm_fault_t type but in a separate patch.
vmf_error() is the newly introduce inline function in 4.17-rc6.

This only makes sense when the terminal used to view the files is set to

This changes those comments to utf-8 as well, for consistency.

The ebcdic.c file contains tables for converting between ebcdic and PC
codepage 437. I could however not identify which encoding was used for
the comments. This seems to be some variation of ISO_8859-1 with
non-UTF-8 escape characters.
I have converted this to UTF-8 by manually removing the escape
characters and then running it through recode, to get the same encoding
that we use for the rest of the kernel.

Patch series "memory management documentation updates", v3.
Here are several updates to the mm documentation.
Aside from really minor changes in the first three patches, the updates
are:
* move the documentation of kstrdup and friends to "String Manipulation"
section
* split memory management API into a separate .rst file
* adjust formating of the GFP flags description and include it in the
reference documentation.
This patch (of 7):
The description of the strndup_user function misses '*' character at the
beginning of the comment to be proper kernel-doc. Add the missing
character.

Without CONFIG_MMU, we get a build warning:
fs/proc/vmcore.c:228:12: error: 'vmcoredd_mmap_dumps' defined but not used [-Werror=unused-function]
static int vmcoredd_mmap_dumps(struct vm_area_struct *vma, unsigned long dst,
The function is only referenced from an #ifdef'ed caller, so
this uses the same #ifdef around it.

Also add these typos to spelling.txt so checkpatch.pl will look for them.

Use new return type vm_fault_t for fault handler in struct
vm_operations_struct. For now, this is just documenting that the
function returns a VM_FAULT value rather than an errno. Once all
instances are converted, vm_fault_t will become a distinct type.
See 1c8f422059ae ("mm: change return type to vm_fault_t") for reference.

A process can be killed with SIGBUS(BUS_MCEERR_AR) when it tries to
allocate a page that was just freed on the way of soft-offline. This is
undesirable because soft-offline (which is about corrected error) is
less aggressive than hard-offline (which is about uncorrected error),
and we can make soft-offline fail and keep using the page for good
reason like "system is busy."
Two main changes of this patch are:
- setting migrate type of the target page to MIGRATE_ISOLATE. As done
in free_unref_page_commit(), this makes kernel bypass pcplist when
freeing the page. So we can assume that the page is in freelist just
after put_page() returns,
- setting PG_hwpoison on free page under zone->lock which protects
freelists, so this allows us to avoid setting PG_hwpoison on a page
that is decided to be allocated soon.
[akpm@linux-foundation.org: tweak set_hwpoison_free_buddy_page() comment]
