While the GCC and Clang compilers already define __ASSEMBLER__
automatically when compiling assembly code, __ASSEMBLY__ is a
macro that only gets defined by the Makefiles in the kernel.
This can be very confusing when switching between userspace
and kernelspace coding, so let's standardize on the __ASSEMBLER__
macro that is provided by the compilers now.
This is a completely mechanical patch (done with a simple "sed -i"
statement).

There was a typo that caused the extended FP state to be copied into the
wrong location on 32 bit. On 32 bit we only store the xstate internally
as that already contains everything. However, for compatibility, the
mcontext on 32 bit first contains the legacy FP state and then the
xstate.
The code copied the xstate on top of the legacy FP state instead of
using the correct offset. This offset was already calculated in the
xstate_* variables, so simply switch to those to fix the problem.
With this SECCOMP mode works on 32 bit, so lift the restriction.

Instead of always sharing the FDs with the userspace process, only hand
over the FDs needed for mmap when required. The idea is that userspace
might be able to force the stub into executing an mmap syscall, however,
it will not be able to manipulate the control flow sufficiently to have
access to an FD that would allow mapping arbitrary memory.
Security wise, we need to be sure that only the expected syscalls are
executed after the kernel sends FDs through the socket. This is
currently not the case, as userspace can trivially jump to the
rt_sigreturn syscall instruction to execute any syscall that the stub is
permitted to do. With this, it can trick the kernel to send the FD,
which in turn allows userspace to freely map any physical memory.
As such, this is currently *not* secure. However, in principle the
approach should be fine with a more strict SECCOMP filter and a careful
review of the stub control flow (as userspace can prepare a stack). With
some care, it is likely possible to extend the security model to SMP if
desired.

When in seccomp mode, we would hang forever on the futex if a child has
died unexpectedly. In contrast, ptrace mode will notice it and kill the
corresponding thread when it fails to run it.
Fix this issue using a new IRQ that is fired after a SIGCHLD and keeping
an (internal) list of all MMs. In the IRQ handler, find the affected MM
and set its PID to -1 as well as the futex variable to FUTEX_IN_KERN.
This, together with futex returning -EINTR after the signal is
sufficient to implement a race-free detection of a child dying.
Note that this also enables IRQ handling while starting a userspace
process. This should be safe and SECCOMP requires the IRQ in case the
process does not come up properly.

arch/um is one of the last users of CONFIG_GENERIC_IOMAP, but upon
closer look it appears that the PCI host bridge does not register
any port I/O, and the absense of both custom inb/outb functions and
a PCI_IOBASE constant means that actually trying to use port I/O
results on a NULL pointer access.
Build testing with clang confirms this by warning about this exact
problem:
include/asm-generic/io.h:549:31: error: performing pointer arithmetic on a null pointer has undefined behavior [-Werror,-Wnull-pointer-arithmetic]
549 | val = __raw_readb(PCI_IOBASE + addr);

code" from Kemeng Shi provides some code cleaups and a small efficiency
improvement to this part of our swap handling code.
- The 6 patch series "ptrace: introduce PTRACE_SET_SYSCALL_INFO API"
from Dmitry Levin adds the ability for a ptracer to modify syscalls
arguments. At this time we can alter only "system call information that
are used by strace system call tampering, namely, syscall number,
syscall arguments, and syscall return value.
This series should have been incorporated into mm.git's "non-MM"
branch, but I goofed.
- The 3 patch series "fs/proc: extend the PAGEMAP_SCAN ioctl to report
guard regions" from Andrei Vagin extends the info returned by the
PAGEMAP_SCAN ioctl against /proc/pid/pagemap. This permits CRIU to more
efficiently get at the info about guard regions.
- The 2 patch series "Fix parameter passed to page_mapcount_is_type()"
from Gavin Shan implements that fix. No runtime effect is expected
because validate_page_before_insert() happens to fix up this error.
- The 3 patch series "kernel/events/uprobes: uprobe_write_opcode()
rewrite" from David Hildenbrand basically brings uprobe text poking into
the current decade. Remove a bunch of hand-rolled implementation in
favor of using more current facilities.
- The 3 patch series "mm/ptdump: Drop assumption that pxd_val() is u64"
from Anshuman Khandual provides enhancements and generalizations to the
pte dumping code. This might be needed when 128-bit Page Table
Descriptors are enabled for ARM.
- The 12 patch series "Always call constructor for kernel page tables"
from Kevin Brodsky "ensures that the ctor/dtor is always called for
kernel pgtables, as it already is for user pgtables". This permits the
addition of more functionality such as "insert hooks to protect page
tables". This change does result in various architectures performing
unnecesary work, but this is fixed up where it is anticipated to occur.
- The 9 patch series "Rust support for mm_struct, vm_area_struct, and
mmap" from Alice Ryhl adds plumbing to permit Rust access to core MM
structures.
- The 3 patch series "fix incorrectly disallowed anonymous VMA merges"
from Lorenzo Stoakes takes advantage of some VMA merging opportunities
which we've been missing for 15 years.
- The 4 patch series "mm/madvise: batch tlb flushes for MADV_DONTNEED
and MADV_FREE" from SeongJae Park optimizes process_madvise()'s TLB
flushing. Instead of flushing each address range in the provided iovec,
we batch the flushing across all the iovec entries. The syscall's cost
was approximately halved with a microbenchmark which was designed to
load this particular operation.
- The 6 patch series "Track node vacancy to reduce worst case allocation
counts" from Sidhartha Kumar makes the maple tree smarter about its node
preallocation. stress-ng mmap performance increased by single-digit
percentages and the amount of unnecessarily preallocated memory was
dramaticelly reduced.
- The 3 patch series "mm/gup: Minor fix, cleanup and improvements" from
Baoquan He removes a few unnecessary things which Baoquan noted when
reading the code.
- The 3 patch series ""Enhance sysfs handling for memory hotplug in
weighted interleave" from Rakie Kim "enhances the weighted interleave
policy in the memory management subsystem by improving sysfs handling,
fixing memory leaks, and introducing dynamic sysfs updates for memory
hotplug support". Fixes things on error paths which we are unlikely to
hit.
- The 7 patch series "mm/damon: auto-tune DAMOS for NUMA setups
including tiered memory" from SeongJae Park introduces new DAMOS quota
goal metrics which eliminate the manual tuning which is required when
utilizing DAMON for memory tiering.
- The 5 patch series "mm/vmalloc.c: code cleanup and improvements" from
Baoquan He provides cleanups and small efficiency improvements which
Baoquan found via code inspection.
- The 2 patch series "vmscan: enforce mems_effective during demotion"
from Gregory Price "changes reclaim to respect cpuset.mems_effective
during demotion when possible". because "presently, reclaim explicitly
ignores cpuset.mems_effective when demoting, which may cause the cpuset
settings to violated." "This is useful for isolating workloads on a
multi-tenant system from certain classes of memory more consistently."
- The 2 patch series ""Clean up split_huge_pmd_locked() and remove
unnecessary folio pointers" from Gavin Guo provides minor cleanups and
efficiency gains in in the huge page splitting and migrating code.
- The 3 patch series "Use kmem_cache for memcg alloc" from Huan Yang
creates a slab cache for `struct mem_cgroup', yielding improved memory
utilization.
- The 4 patch series "add max arg to swappiness in memory.reclaim and
lru_gen" from Zhongkun He adds a new "max" argument to the "swappiness="
argument for memory.reclaim MGLRU's lru_gen. This directs proactive
reclaim to reclaim from only anon folios rather than file-backed folios.
- The 17 patch series "kexec: introduce Kexec HandOver (KHO)" from Mike
Rapoport is the first step on the path to permitting the kernel to
maintain existing VMs while replacing the host kernel via file-based
kexec. At this time only memblock's reserve_mem is preserved.
- The 7 patch series "mm: Introduce for_each_valid_pfn()" from David
Woodhouse provides and uses a smarter way of looping over a pfn range.
By skipping ranges of invalid pfns.
- The 2 patch series "sched/numa: Skip VMA scanning on memory pinned to
one NUMA node via cpuset.mems" from Libo Chen removes a lot of pointless
VMA scanning when a task is pinned a single NUMA mode. Dramatic
performance benefits were seen in some real world cases.
- The 2 patch series "JFS: Implement migrate_folio for
jfs_metapage_aops" from Shivank Garg addresses a warning which occurs
during memory compaction when using JFS.
- The 4 patch series "move all VMA allocation, freeing and duplication
logic to mm" from Lorenzo Stoakes moves some VMA code from kernel/fork.c
into the more appropriate mm/vma.c.
- The 6 patch series "mm, swap: clean up swap cache mapping helper" from
Kairui Song provides code consolidation and cleanups related to the
folio_index() function.
- The 2 patch series "mm/gup: Cleanup memfd_pin_folios()" from Vishal
Moola does that.
- The 8 patch series "memcg: Fix test_memcg_min/low test failures" from
Waiman Long addresses some bogus failures which are being reported by
the test_memcontrol selftest.
- The 3 patch series "eliminate mmap() retry merge, add .mmap_prepare
hook" from Lorenzo Stoakes commences the deprecation of
file_operations.mmap() in favor of the new
file_operations.mmap_prepare(). The latter is more restrictive and
prevents drivers from messing with things in ways which, amongst other
problems, may defeat VMA merging.
- The 4 patch series "memcg: decouple memcg and objcg stocks"" from
Shakeel Butt decouples the per-cpu memcg charge cache from the objcg's
one. This is a step along the way to making memcg and objcg charging
NMI-safe, which is a BPF requirement.
- The 6 patch series "mm/damon: minor fixups and improvements for code,
tests, and documents" from SeongJae Park is "yet another batch of
miscellaneous DAMON changes. Fix and improve minor problems in code,
tests and documents."
- The 7 patch series "memcg: make memcg stats irq safe" from Shakeel
Butt converts memcg stats to be irq safe. Another step along the way to
making memcg charging and stats updates NMI-safe, a BPF requirement.
- The 4 patch series "Let unmap_hugepage_range() and several related
functions take folio instead of page" from Fan Ni provides folio
conversions in the hugetlb code.

x86 already uses gcc-8 as the minimum version, this changes all other
architectures to the same version. gcc-8 is used is Debian 10 and Red
Hat Enterprise Linux 8, both of which are still supported, and binutils
2.30 is the oldest corresponding version on those. Ubuntu Pro 18.04 and
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 15 both use gcc-7 as the system compiler
but additionally include toolchains that remain supported.
With the new minimum toolchain versions, a number of workarounds for older
versions can be dropped, in particular on x86_64 and arm64. Importantly,
the updated compiler version allows removing two of the five remaining
gcc plugins, as support for sancov and structeak features is already
included in modern compiler versions.
I tried collecting the known changes that are possible based on the
new toolchain version, but expect that more cleanups will be possible.
Since this touches multiple architectures, I merged the patches through
the asm-generic tree.

Boot code changes:
- A large series of changes to reorganize the x86 boot code into a better isolated
and easier to maintain base of PIC early startup code in arch/x86/boot/startup/,
by Ard Biesheuvel.
Motivation & background:
| Since commit
|
| c88d71508e ("x86/boot/64: Rewrite startup_64() in C")
|
| dated Jun 6 2017, we have been using C code on the boot path in a way
| that is not supported by the toolchain, i.e., to execute non-PIC C
| code from a mapping of memory that is different from the one provided
| to the linker. It should have been obvious at the time that this was a
| bad idea, given the need to sprinkle fixup_pointer() calls left and
| right to manipulate global variables (including non-pointer variables)
| without crashing.
|
| This C startup code has been expanding, and in particular, the SEV-SNP
| startup code has been expanding over the past couple of years, and
| grown many of these warts, where the C code needs to use special
| annotations or helpers to access global objects.

Pull core x86 updates from Ingo Molnar:
"Boot code changes:
- A large series of changes to reorganize the x86 boot code into a
better isolated and easier to maintain base of PIC early startup
code in arch/x86/boot/startup/, by Ard Biesheuvel.
Motivation & background:
| Since commit
|
| c88d71508e ("x86/boot/64: Rewrite startup_64() in C")
|
| dated Jun 6 2017, we have been using C code on the boot path in a way
| that is not supported by the toolchain, i.e., to execute non-PIC C
| code from a mapping of memory that is different from the one provided
| to the linker. It should have been obvious at the time that this was a
| bad idea, given the need to sprinkle fixup_pointer() calls left and
| right to manipulate global variables (including non-pointer variables)
| without crashing.
|
| This C startup code has been expanding, and in particular, the SEV-SNP
| startup code has been expanding over the past couple of years, and
| grown many of these warts, where the C code needs to use special
| annotations or helpers to access global objects.
This tree includes the first phase of this work-in-progress x86
boot code reorganization.

Building the kernel with O= is affected by stale in-tree build artifacts.
So, if the source tree is not clean, Kbuild displays the following:
$ make ARCH=um O=build defconfig
make[1]: Entering directory '/.../linux/build'
***
*** The source tree is not clean, please run 'make ARCH=um mrproper'
*** in /.../linux
***
make[2]: *** [/.../linux/Makefile:673: outputmakefile] Error 1
make[1]: *** [/.../linux/Makefile:248: __sub-make] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory '/.../linux/build'
make: *** [Makefile:248: __sub-make] Error 2
Usually, running 'make mrproper' is sufficient for cleaning the source
tree for out-of-tree builds.
However, building UML generates build artifacts not only in arch/um/,
but also in the SUBARCH directory (i.e., arch/x86/). If in-tree stale
files remain under arch/x86/, Kbuild will reuse them instead of creating
new ones under the specified build directory.
This commit makes 'make ARCH=um clean' recurse into the SUBARCH directory.
