5359b938c0 MIPS: DECstation I/O ASIC DMA interrupt handling fix
This change complements commit d0da7c002f7b2a93582187a9e3f73891a01d8ee4
and brings clear_ioasic_irq back, renaming it to clear_ioasic_dma_irq at
the same time, to make I/O ASIC DMA interrupts functional.

Unlike ordinary I/O ASIC interrupts DMA interrupts need to be deasserted
by software by writing 0 to the respective bit in I/O ASIC's System
Interrupt Register (SIR), similarly to how CP0.Cause.IP0 and CP0.Cause.IP1
bits are handled in the CPU (the difference is SIR DMA interrupt bits are
R/W0C so there's no need for an RMW cycle).  Otherwise the handler is
reentered over and over again.

The only current user is the DEC LANCE Ethernet driver and its extremely
uncommon DMA memory error handler that does not care when exactly the
interrupt is cleared.  Anticipating the use of DMA interrupts by the Zilog
SCC driver this change however exports clear_ioasic_dma_irq for device
drivers to choose the right application-specific sequence to clear the
request explicitly rather than calling it implicitly in the .irq_eoi
handler of `struct irq_chip'.  Previously these interrupts were cleared in
the .end handler of the said structure, before it was removed.

daed1285c3 MIPS: DECstation HRT initialization rearrangement
Not all I/O ASIC versions have the free-running counter implemented, an
early revision used in the 5000/1xx models aka 3MIN and 4MIN did not have
it.  Therefore we cannot unconditionally use it as a clock source.
Fortunately if not implemented its register slot has a fixed value so it
is enough if we check for the value at the end of the calibration period
being the same as at the beginning.

This also means we need to look for another high-precision clock source on
the systems affected.  The 5000/1xx can have an R4000SC processor
installed where the CP0 Count register can be used as a clock source.
Unfortunately all the R4k DECstations suffer from the missed timer
interrupt on CP0 Count reads erratum, so we cannot use the CP0 timer as a
clock source and a clock event both at a time.  However we never need an
R4k clock event device because all DECstations have a DS1287A RTC chip
whose periodic interrupt can be used as a clock source.

This gives us the following four configuration possibilities for I/O ASIC
DECstations:

1. No I/O ASIC counter and no CP0 timer, e.g. R3k 5000/1xx (3MIN).

2. No I/O ASIC counter but the CP0 timer, i.e. R4k 5000/150 (4MIN).

3. The I/O ASIC counter but no CP0 timer, e.g. R3k 5000/240 (3MAX+).

4. The I/O ASIC counter and the CP0 timer, e.g. R4k 5000/260 (4MAX+).

For #1 and #2 this change stops the I/O ASIC free-running counter from
being installed as a clock source of a 0Hz frequency.  For #2 it also
arranges for the CP0 timer to be used as a clock source rather than a
clock event device, because having an accurate wall clock is more
important than a high-precision interval timer.  For #3 there is no
change.  For #4 the change makes the I/O ASIC free-running counter
installed as a clock source so that the CP0 timer can be used as a clock
event device.

Unfortunately the use of the CP0 timer as a clock event device relies on a
succesful completion of c0_compare_interrupt.  That never happens, because
while waiting for a CP0 Compare interrupt to happen the function spins in
a loop reading the CP0 Count register.  This makes the CP0 Count erratum
trigger reliably causing the interrupt waited for to be lost in all cases.
As a result #4 resorts to using the CP0 timer as a clock source as well,
just as #2.  However we want to keep this separate arrangement in case
(hope) c0_compare_interrupt is eventually rewritten such that it avoids
the erratum.

3a13c4d761 x86: finish user fault error path with fatal signal
The x86 fault handler bails in the middle of error handling when the
task has a fatal signal pending.  For a subsequent patch this is a
problem in OOM situations because it relies on pagefault_out_of_memory()
being called even when the task has been killed, to perform proper
per-task OOM state unwinding.

Shortcutting the fault like this is a rather minor optimization that
saves a few instructions in rare cases.  Just remove it for
user-triggered faults.

Use the opportunity to split the fault retry handling from actual fault
errors and add locking documentation that reads suprisingly similar to
ARM's.

759496ba64 arch: mm: pass userspace fault flag to generic fault handler
Unlike global OOM handling, memory cgroup code will invoke the OOM killer
in any OOM situation because it has no way of telling faults occuring in
kernel context - which could be handled more gracefully - from
user-triggered faults.

Pass a flag that identifies faults originating in user space from the
architecture-specific fault handlers to generic code so that memcg OOM
handling can be improved.

871341023c arch: mm: do not invoke OOM killer on kernel fault OOM
Kernel faults are expected to handle OOM conditions gracefully (gup,
uaccess etc.), so they should never invoke the OOM killer.  Reserve this
for faults triggered in user context when it is the only option.

Most architectures already do this, fix up the remaining few.

94bce453c7 arch: mm: remove obsolete init OOM protection
The memcg code can trap tasks in the context of the failing allocation
until an OOM situation is resolved.  They can hold all kinds of locks
(fs, mm) at this point, which makes it prone to deadlocking.

This series converts memcg OOM handling into a two step process that is
started in the charge context, but any waiting is done after the fault
stack is fully unwound.

Patches 1-4 prepare architecture handlers to support the new memcg
requirements, but in doing so they also remove old cruft and unify
out-of-memory behavior across architectures.

Patch 5 disables the memcg OOM handling for syscalls, readahead, kernel
faults, because they can gracefully unwind the stack with -ENOMEM.  OOM
handling is restricted to user triggered faults that have no other
option.

Patch 6 reworks memcg's hierarchical OOM locking to make it a little
more obvious wth is going on in there: reduce locked regions, rename
locking functions, reorder and document.

Patch 7 implements the two-part OOM handling such that tasks are never
trapped with the full charge stack in an OOM situation.

This patch:

Back before smart OOM killing, when faulting tasks were killed directly on
allocation failures, the arch-specific fault handlers needed special
protection for the init process.

Now that all fault handlers call into the generic OOM killer (see commit
609838cfed: "mm: invoke oom-killer from remaining unconverted page
fault handlers"), which already provides init protection, the
arch-specific leftovers can be removed.

Commit 05b016ecf5 "ARC: Setup Vector Table Base in early boot" moved
the Interrupt vector Table setup out of arc_init_IRQ() which is called
for all CPUs, to entry point of boot cpu only, breaking booting of others.

Fix by adding the same to entry point of non-boot CPUs too.

read_arc_build_cfg_regs() printing IVT Base Register didn't help the
casue since it prints a synthetic value if zero which is totally bogus,
so fix that to print the exact Register.

dbc33f7016 perf/x86: Fix uncore PCI fixed counter handling
There was a bug in the handling of SNB-EP/IVB-EP uncore PCI
fixed counters, e.g., IMC.

It would cause erratic values to be returned for the IMC
clockticks event. This was due to a bogus hwc->config value
which was then written to PCI config space.

The erratic values can be seen via:

  $ perf stat -a -C 0 -e uncore_imc_0/clockticks/ -I 1000 sleep 10

The fixed counter has most fields marked as reserved with
hw reset values of 0. Yet the kernel was defaulting to a
hwc->config = ~0 and that was causing the issues.

This patch sets the hwc->config values for fixed uncore event
to 0. Now, the values of IMC clockticks is correct.

63c40436a1 s390/kprobes: add support for pc-relative long displacement instructions
With the general-instruction extension facility (z10) a couple of
instructions with a pc-relative long displacement were introduced.  The
kprobes support for these instructions however was never implemented.

In result, if anybody ever put a probe on any of these instructions the
result would have been random behaviour after the instruction got executed
within the insn slot.

So lets add the missing handling for these instructions.  Since all of the
new instructions have 32 bit signed displacement the easiest solution is
to allocate an insn slot that is within the same 2GB area like the
original instruction and patch the displacement field.

3ddc5b46a8 kernel-wide: fix missing validations on __get/__put/__copy_to/__copy_from_user()
I found the following pattern that leads in to interesting findings:

  grep -r "ret.*|=.*__put_user" *
  grep -r "ret.*|=.*__get_user" *
  grep -r "ret.*|=.*__copy" *

The __put_user() calls in compat_ioctl.c, ptrace compat, signal compat,
since those appear in compat code, we could probably expect the kernel
addresses not to be reachable in the lower 32-bit range, so I think they
might not be exploitable.

For the "__get_user" cases, I don't think those are exploitable: the worse
that can happen is that the kernel will copy kernel memory into in-kernel
buffers, and will fail immediately afterward.

The alpha csum_partial_copy_from_user() seems to be missing the
access_ok() check entirely.  The fix is inspired from x86.  This could
lead to information leak on alpha.  I also noticed that many architectures
map csum_partial_copy_from_user() to csum_partial_copy_generic(), but I
wonder if the latter is performing the access checks on every
architectures.
