Commit 296e46db00 ("MIPS: Don't unnecessarily include kmalloc.h into
<asm/cache.h>.") claimed that the inclusion of the machine's kmalloc.h
from asm/cache.h is unnecessary, but this is not true.
Without including kmalloc.h we don't get a definition for
ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN, which means we no longer suitably align DMA. Further
to this the definition of ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN provided by linux/slab.h
ends up being set to the alignment of an unsigned long long value rather
than to ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN, which means that buffers allocated using
kmalloc may no longer be safely aligned for use with DMA.
Fix this by re-adding the include of kmalloc.h in asm/cache.h. This
reverts commit 296e46db00 ("MIPS: Don't unnecessarily include
kmalloc.h into <asm/cache.h>.")

Patch series "mm: give __GFP_REPEAT a better semantic".
The main motivation for the change is that the current implementation of
__GFP_REPEAT is not very much useful.
The documentation says:
* __GFP_REPEAT: Try hard to allocate the memory, but the allocation attempt
* _might_ fail. This depends upon the particular VM implementation.
It just fails to mention that this is true only for large (costly) high
order which has been the case since the flag was introduced. A similar
semantic would be really helpful for smal orders as well, though,
because we have places where a failure with a specific fallback error
handling is preferred to a potential endless loop inside the page
allocator.
The earlier cleanup dropped __GFP_REPEAT usage for low (!costly) order
users so only those which might use larger orders have stayed. One new
user added in the meantime is addressed in patch 1.
Let's rename the flag to something more verbose and use it for existing
users. Semantic for those will not change. Then implement low
(!costly) orders failure path which is hit after the page allocator is
about to invoke the oom killer. With that we have a good counterpart
for __GFP_NORETRY and finally can tell try as hard as possible without
the OOM killer.
Xfs code already has an existing annotation for allocations which are
allowed to fail and we can trivially map them to the new gfp flag
because it will provide the semantic KM_MAYFAIL wants. Christoph didn't
consider the new flag really necessary but didn't respond to the OOM
killer aspect of the change so I have kept the patch. If this is still
seen as not really needed I can drop the patch.
kvmalloc will allow also !costly high order allocations to retry hard
before falling back to the vmalloc.
drm/i915 asked for the new semantic explicitly.
Memory migration code, especially for the memory hotplug, should back
off rather than invoking the OOM killer as well.
This patch (of 6):
Commit 3377e227af ("MIPS: Add 48-bit VA space (and 4-level page
tables) for 4K pages.") has added a new __GFP_REPEAT user but using this
flag doesn't really make any sense for order-0 request which is the case
here because PUD_ORDER is 0. __GFP_REPEAT has historically effect only
on allocation requests with order > PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER.
This doesn't introduce any functional change. This is a preparatory
patch for later work which renames the flag and redefines its semantic.

Commit db8466c581 ("MIPS: IRQ Stack: Unwind IRQ stack onto task
stack") erroneously set the initial stack pointer of the IRQ stack to a
value with a 4 byte alignment. The MIPS32 ABI requires that the minimum
stack alignment is 8 byte, and the MIPS64 ABIs(n32/n64) require 16 byte
minimum alignment. Fix IRQ_STACK_START such that it leaves space for the
dummy stack frame (containing interrupted task kernel stack pointer)
while also meeting minimum alignment requirements.

When the system call return value is forced to be an error (for example
due to SECCOMP_RET_ERRNO), syscall_set_return_value() puts the error
code in the return register $v0 and -1 in the error register $a3.
However normally executed system calls put 1 in the error register
rather than -1, so fix syscall_set_return_value() to be consistent with
that.
I don't anticipate that anything would have been broken by this, since
the most natural way to check the error register on MIPS would be a
conditional branch if error register is [not] equal to zero (bnez or
beqz).

Here is the large tty/serial patchset for 4.13-rc1.
A lot of tty and serial driver updates are in here, along with some
fixups for some __get/put_user usages that were reported. Nothing huge,
just lots of development by a number of different developers, full
details in the shortlog.
All of these have been in linux-next for a while. There will be a merge
issue with the arm-soc tree in the include/linux/platform_data/atmel.h
file. Stephen has sent out a fixup for it, so it shouldn't be that
difficult to merge.

Fix incorrect calculation in do_monotonic() and do_monotonic_coarse()
function that in turn caused incorrect values returned by the vdso
version of system call clock_gettime() on mips64 if its system clock
ID parameter was CLOCK_MONOTONIC or CLOCK_MONOTONIC_COARSE.
Consider these variables and their types on mips32 and mips64:
tk->wall_to_monotonic.tv_sec s64, s64 (kernel/vdso.c)
vdso_data.wall_to_mono_sec u32, u32 (kernel/vdso.c)
to_mono_sec u32, u32 (vdso/gettimeofday.c)
ts->tv_sec s32, s64 (vdso/gettimeofday.c)
For mips64 case, u32 vdso_data.wall_to_mono_sec variable is updated
from the 64-bit signed variable tk->wall_to_monotonic.tv_sec
(kernel/vdso.c:76) which is a negative number holding the time passed
from 1970-01-01 to the time boot started. This 64-bit signed value is
currently around 47+ years, in seconds. For instance, let this value
be:
-1489757461
or
11111111111111111111111111111111 10100111001101000001101011101011
By updating 32-bit vdso_data.wall_to_mono_sec variable, we lose upper
32 bits (signed 1's).
to_mono_sec variable is a parameter of do_monotonic() and
do_monotonic_coarse() functions which holds vdso_data.wall_to_mono_sec
value. Its value needs to be added (or subtracted considering it holds
negative value from the tk->wall_to_monotonic.tv_sec) to the current
time passed from 1970-01-01 (ts->tv_sec), which is again something like
47+ years, but increased by the time passed from the boot to the
current time. ts->tv_sec is 32-bit long in case of 32-bit architecture
and 64-bit long in case of 64-bit architecture. Consider the update of
ts->tv_sec (vdso/gettimeofday.c:55 & 167):
ts->tv_sec += to_mono_sec;
mips32 case: This update will be performed correctly, since both
ts->tv_sec and to_mono_sec are 32-bit long and the sign in to_mono_sec
is preserved. Implicit conversion from u32 to s32 will be done
correctly.
mips64 case: This update will be wrong, since the implicit conversion
will not be done correctly. The reason is that the conversion will be
from u32 to s64. This is because to_mono_sec is 32-bit long for both
mips32 and mips64 cases and s64..33 bits of converted to_mono_sec
variable will be zeros.
So, in order to make MIPS64 implementation work properly for
MONOTONIC and MONOTONIC_COARSE clock ids on mips64, the size of
wall_to_mono_sec variable in mips_vdso_data union and respective
parameters in do_monotonic() and do_monotonic_coarse() functions
should be changed from u32 to u64. Because of consistency, this
size change from u32 and u64 is also done for wall_to_mono_nsec
variable and corresponding function parameters.
As far as similar situations for other architectures are concerned,
let's take a look at arm. Arm has two distinct vdso_data structures
for 32-bit & 64-bit cases, and arm's wall_to_mono_sec and
wall_to_mono_nsec are u32 for 32-bit and u64 for 64-bit cases.
On the other hand, MIPS has only one structure (mips_vdso_data),
hence the need for changing the size of above mentioned parameters.

Some systems share FTLB RAMs or entries between sibling CPUs (ie.
hardware threads, or VP(E)s, within a core). These properties require
kernel handling in various places. As a start this patch introduces
cpu_has_shared_ftlb_ram & cpu_has_shared_ftlb_entries feature macros
which we set appropriately for I6400 & I6500 CPUs. Further patches will
make use of these macros as appropriate.

Fix a regression introduced with commit fb6883e580 ("MIPS: microMIPS:
Support handling of delay slots.") and defer to `__compute_return_epc'
if the ISA bit is set in EPC with non-MIPS16, non-microMIPS hardware,
which will then arrange for a SIGBUS due to an unaligned instruction
reference. Returning EPC here is never correct as the API defines this
function's result to be either a negative error code on failure or one
of 0 and BRANCH_LIKELY_TAKEN on success.

The __xchg_u32() & __xchg_u64() functions now add very little value.
This patch therefore removes them, by:
- Moving memory barriers out of them & into xchg(), which also removes
the duplication & readies us to support xchg_relaxed() if we wish to.
- Calling __xchg_asm() directly from __xchg().
- Performing the check for CONFIG_64BIT being enabled in the size=8
case of __xchg().

xchg() has up until now simply returned the x parameter in cases where
it is called with a pointer to a value of an unsupported size. This will
often cause the calling code to hit a failure path, presuming that the
value of x differs from the content of the memory pointed at by ptr, but
we can do better by producing a compile-time or link-time error such
that unsupported calls to xchg() are detectable earlier than runtime.
This patch does this in the same was as is already done for cmpxchg(),
using a call to a missing function annotated with __compiletime_error().

Our cmpxchg() implementation relies upon generating a call to a function
which doesn't really exist (__cmpxchg_called_with_bad_pointer) to create
a link failure in cases where cmpxchg() is called with a pointer to a
value of an unsupported size.
The __compiletime_error macro can be used to decorate a function such
that a call to it generates a compile-time, rather than a link-time,
error. This patch uses __compiletime_error to cause bad cmpxchg() calls
to error out at compile time rather than link time, allowing errors to
occur more quickly & making it easier to spot where the problem comes
from.

Prior to this patch the xchg & cmpxchg functions have duplicated code
which is for all intents & purposes identical apart from use of a
branch-likely instruction in the R10000_LLSC_WAR case & a regular branch
instruction in the non-R10000_LLSC_WAR case.
This patch removes the duplication, declaring a __scbeqz macro to select
the branch instruction suitable for use when checking the result of an
sc instruction & making use of it to unify the 2 cases.
In __xchg_u{32,64}() this means writing the branch in asm, where it was
previously being done in C as a do...while loop for the
non-R10000_LLSC_WAR case. As this is a single instruction, and adds
consistency with the R10000_LLSC_WAR cases & the cmpxchg() code, this
seems worthwhile.

Drivers for the mc146818 RTC generally check control registers to
determine whether a value is encoded as binary or as a binary coded
decimal. Setting RTC_ALWAYS_BCD to 1 effectively bypasses these checks
and causes drivers to always expect binary coded decimal values,
regardless of control register values.
This does not seem like a sane default - defaulting to 0 allows the
drivers to check control registers to determine encoding type & allows
the driver to work generically with both binary & BCD encodings. Set
this in mach-generic/mc146818rtc.h such that the generic kernel, or
platforms which don't provide a custom mc146818rtc.h, can have an RTC
driver which works with both encodings.

YAMON can expose more than 256MB of RAM to Linux on Malta by passing an
ememsize environment variable with the full size, but the kernel then
needs to be careful to choose the corresponding physical memory regions,
avoiding the IO memory window. This is platform dependent, and on Malta
it also depends on the memory layout which varies between system
controllers.
Extend yamon_dt_amend_memory() to generically handle this by taking
[e]memsize bytes of memory from an array of memory regions passed in as
a new parameter. Board code provides this array as appropriate depending
on its own memory map.

with its predecessors. Clusters don't need to be identical, and may
contain differing numbers of cores & IOCUs, or cores with differing

This adds the new getsockopt(2) option SO_PEERGROUPS on SOL_SOCKET to
retrieve the auxiliary groups of the remote peer. It is designed to
naturally extend SO_PEERCRED. That is, the underlying data is from the
same credentials. Regarding its syntax, it is based on SO_PEERSEC. That
is, if the provided buffer is too small, ERANGE is returned and @optlen
is updated. Otherwise, the information is copied, @optlen is set to the
actual size, and 0 is returned.
While SO_PEERCRED (and thus `struct ucred') already returns the primary
group, it lacks the auxiliary group vector. However, nearly all access
controls (including kernel side VFS and SYSVIPC, but also user-space
polkit, DBus, ...) consider the entire set of groups, rather than just
the primary group. But this is currently not possible with pure
SO_PEERCRED. Instead, user-space has to work around this and query the
system database for the auxiliary groups of a UID retrieved via
SO_PEERCRED.
Unfortunately, there is no race-free way to query the auxiliary groups
of the PID/UID retrieved via SO_PEERCRED. Hence, the current user-space
solution is to use getgrouplist(3p), which itself falls back to NSS and
whatever is configured in nsswitch.conf(3). This effectively checks
which groups we *would* assign to the user if it logged in *now*. On
normal systems it is as easy as reading /etc/group, but with NSS it can
resort to quering network databases (eg., LDAP), using IPC or network
communication.
Long story short: Whenever we want to use auxiliary groups for access
checks on IPC, we need further IPC to talk to the user/group databases,
rather than just relying on SO_PEERCRED and the incoming socket. This
is unfortunate, and might even result in dead-locks if the database
query uses the same IPC as the original request.
So far, those recursions / dead-locks have been avoided by using
primitive IPC for all crucial NSS modules. However, we want to avoid
re-inventing the wheel for each NSS module that might be involved in
user/group queries. Hence, we would preferably make DBus (and other IPC
that supports access-management based on groups) work without resorting
to the user/group database. This new SO_PEERGROUPS ioctl would allow us
to make dbus-daemon work without ever calling into NSS.

When opening the slave end of a PTY, it is not possible for userspace to
safely ensure that /dev/pts/$num is actually a slave (in cases where the
mount namespace in which devpts was mounted is controlled by an
untrusted process). In addition, there are several unresolvable
race conditions if userspace were to attempt to detect attacks through
stat(2) and other similar methods [in addition it is not clear how
userspace could detect attacks involving FUSE].
Resolve this by providing an interface for userpace to safely open the
"peer" end of a PTY file descriptor by using the dentry cached by
devpts. Since it is not possible to have an open master PTY without
having its slave exposed in /dev/pts this interface is safe. This
interface currently does not provide a way to get the master pty (since
it is not clear whether such an interface is safe or even useful).
