1fb3b526df Some late arriving documentation changes. In particular, this contains the
conversion of the x86 docs to RST, which has been in the works for some
 time but needed a couple of final tweaks.

2a594d4ccf x86/exceptions: Split debug IST stack
The debug IST stack is actually two separate debug stacks to handle #DB
recursion. This is required because the CPU starts always at top of stack
on exception entry, which means on #DB recursion the second #DB would
overwrite the stack of the first.

The low level entry code therefore adjusts the top of stack on entry so a
secondary #DB starts from a different stack page. But the stack pages are
adjacent without a guard page between them.

Split the debug stack into 3 stacks which are separated by guard pages. The
3rd stack is never mapped into the cpu_entry_area and is only there to
catch triple #DB nesting:

      --- top of DB_stack	<- Initial stack
      --- end of DB_stack
      	  guard page

      --- top of DB1_stack	<- Top of stack after entering first #DB
      --- end of DB1_stack
      	  guard page

      --- top of DB2_stack	<- Top of stack after entering second #DB
      --- end of DB2_stack
      	  guard page

If DB2 would not act as the final guard hole, a second #DB would point the
top of #DB stack to the stack below #DB1 which would be valid and not catch
the not so desired triple nesting.

The backing store does not allocate any memory for DB2 and its guard page
as it is not going to be mapped into the cpu_entry_area.

 - Adjust the low level entry code so it adjusts top of #DB with the offset
   between the stacks instead of exception stack size.

 - Make the dumpstack code aware of the new stacks.

 - Adjust the in_debug_stack() implementation and move it into the NMI code
   where it belongs. As this is NMI hotpath code, it just checks the full
   area between top of DB_stack and bottom of DB1_stack without checking
   for the guard page. That's correct because the NMI cannot hit a
   stackpointer pointing to the guard page between DB and DB1 stack.  Even
   if it would, then the NMI operation still is unaffected, but the resume
   of the debug exception on the topmost DB stack will crash by touching
   the guard page.

8f34c5b5af x86/exceptions: Make IST index zero based
The defines for the exception stack (IST) array in the TSS are using the
SDM convention IST1 - IST7. That causes all sorts of code to subtract 1 for
array indices related to IST. That's confusing at best and does not provide
any value.

Make the indices zero based and fixup the usage sites. The only code which
needs to adjust the 0 based index is the interrupt descriptor setup which
needs to add 1 now.

"Resource Control" is a very broad term for this CPU feature, and a term
that is also associated with containers, cgroups etc. This can easily
cause confusion.

Make the user prompt more specific. Match the config symbol name.

 [ bp: In the future, the corresponding ARM arch-specific code will be
   under ARM_CPU_RESCTRL and the arch-agnostic bits will be carved out
   under the CPU_RESCTRL umbrella symbol. ]

af7ddd8a62 DMA mapping updates for Linux 4.21
A huge update this time, but a lot of that is just consolidating or
 removing code:
 
  - provide a common DMA_MAPPING_ERROR definition and avoid indirect
    calls for dma_map_* error checking
  - use direct calls for the DMA direct mapping case, avoiding huge
    retpoline overhead for high performance workloads
  - merge the swiotlb dma_map_ops into dma-direct
  - provide a generic remapping DMA consistent allocator for architectures
    that have devices that perform DMA that is not cache coherent. Based
    on the existing arm64 implementation and also used for csky now.
  - improve the dma-debug infrastructure, including dynamic allocation
    of entries (Robin Murphy)
  - default to providing chaining scatterlist everywhere, with opt-outs
    for the few architectures (alpha, parisc, most arm32 variants) that
    can't cope with it
  - misc sparc32 dma-related cleanups
  - remove the dma_mark_clean arch hook used by swiotlb on ia64 and
    replace it with the generic noncoherent infrastructure
  - fix the return type of dma_set_max_seg_size (Niklas Söderlund)
  - move the dummy dma ops for not DMA capable devices from arm64 to
    common code (Robin Murphy)
  - ensure dma_alloc_coherent returns zeroed memory to avoid kernel data
    leaks through userspace.  We already did this for most common
    architectures, but this ensures we do it everywhere.
    dma_zalloc_coherent has been deprecated and can hopefully be
    removed after -rc1 with a coccinelle script.

a8a4c98fc9 x86/dma/amd-gart: Stop resizing dma_debug_entry pool
dma-debug is now capable of adding new entries to its pool on-demand if
the initial preallocation was insufficient, so the IOMMU_LEAK logic no
longer needs to explicitly change the pool size. This does lose it the
ability to save a couple of megabytes of RAM by reducing the pool size
below its default, but it seems unlikely that that is a realistic
concern these days (or indeed that anyone is actively debugging AGP
drivers' DMA usage any more). Getting rid of dma_debug_resize_entries()
will make room for further streamlining in the dma-debug code itself.

Removing the call reveals quite a lot of cruft which has been useless
for nearly a decade since commit 19c1a6f576 ("x86 gart: reimplement
IOMMU_LEAK feature by using DMA_API_DEBUG"), including the entire
'iommu=leak' parameter, which controlled nothing except whether
dma_debug_resize_entries() was called or not.

Peter Anvin pointed out that commit:

  ae7e1238e6 ("x86/boot: Add ACPI RSDP address to setup_header")

should be reverted as setup_header should only contain items set by the
legacy BIOS.

So revert said commit. Instead of fully reverting the dependent commit
of:

  e7b66d16fe ("x86/acpi, x86/boot: Take RSDP address for boot params if available")

just remove the setup_header reference in order to replace it by
a boot_params in a followup patch.

d52888aa27 x86/mm: Move LDT remap out of KASLR region on 5-level paging
On 5-level paging the LDT remap area is placed in the middle of the KASLR
randomization region and it can overlap with the direct mapping, the
vmalloc or the vmap area.

The LDT mapping is per mm, so it cannot be moved into the P4D page table
next to the CPU_ENTRY_AREA without complicating PGD table allocation for
5-level paging.

The 4 PGD slot gap just before the direct mapping is reserved for
hypervisors, so it cannot be used.

Move the direct mapping one slot deeper and use the resulting gap for the
LDT remap area. The resulting layout is the same for 4 and 5 level paging.

Merge tag 'stackleak-v4.20-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kees/linux

Pull stackleak gcc plugin from Kees Cook:
 "Please pull this new GCC plugin, stackleak, for v4.20-rc1. This plugin
  was ported from grsecurity by Alexander Popov. It provides efficient
  stack content poisoning at syscall exit. This creates a defense
  against at least two classes of flaws:

   - Uninitialized stack usage. (We continue to work on improving the
     compiler to do this in other ways: e.g. unconditional zero init was
     proposed to GCC and Clang, and more plugin work has started too).

   - Stack content exposure. By greatly reducing the lifetime of valid
     stack contents, exposures via either direct read bugs or unknown
     cache side-channels become much more difficult to exploit. This
     complements the existing buddy and heap poisoning options, but
     provides the coverage for stacks.

  The x86 hooks are included in this series (which have been reviewed by
  Ingo, Dave Hansen, and Thomas Gleixner). The arm64 hooks have already
  been merged through the arm64 tree (written by Laura Abbott and
  reviewed by Mark Rutland and Will Deacon).

  With VLAs having been removed this release, there is no need for
  alloca() protection, so it has been removed from the plugin"

01aa9d518e This is a fairly typical cycle for documentation. There's some welcome
readability improvements for the formatted output, some LICENSES updates
 including the addition of the ISC license, the removal of the unloved and
 unmaintained 00-INDEX files, the deprecated APIs document from Kees, more
 MM docs from Mike Rapoport, and the usual pile of typo fixes and
 corrections.
