Pul xfs updates from Dave Chinner:
"There's not a huge amount of change in this cycle - Darrick has been
out of action for a couple of months (hence me sending the last few
pull requests), so we decided a quiet cycle mainly focussed on bug
fixes was a good idea. Darrick will take the helm again at the end of
this merge window.
FYI, I may be sending another update later in the cycle - there's a
pending rework of the clone/dedupe_file_range code that fixes numerous
bugs that is spread amongst the VFS, XFS and ocfs2 code. It has been
reviewed and tested, Al and I just need to work out the details of the
merge, so it may come from him rather than me.
Summary:
- only support filesystems with unwritten extents
- add definition for statfs XFS magic number
- remove unused parameters around reflink code
- more debug for dangling delalloc extents
- cancel COW extents on extent swap targets
- fix quota stats output and clean up the code
- refactor some of the attribute code in preparation for parent
pointers
- fix several buffer handling bugs"

Pull security subsystem updates from James Morris:

Pull siginfo updates from Eric Biederman:
"I have been slowly sorting out siginfo and this is the culmination of
that work.
The primary result is in several ways the signal infrastructure has
been made less error prone. The code has been updated so that manually
specifying SEND_SIG_FORCED is never necessary. The conversion to the
new siginfo sending functions is now complete, which makes it
difficult to send a signal without filling in the proper siginfo
fields.
At the tail end of the patchset comes the optimization of decreasing
the size of struct siginfo in the kernel from 128 bytes to about 48
bytes on 64bit. The fundamental observation that enables this is by
definition none of the known ways to use struct siginfo uses the extra
bytes.
This comes at the cost of a small user space observable difference.
For the rare case of siginfo being injected into the kernel only what
can be copied into kernel_siginfo is delivered to the destination, the
rest of the bytes are set to 0. For cases where the signal and the
si_code are known this is safe, because we know those bytes are not
used. For cases where the signal and si_code combination is unknown
the bits that won't fit into struct kernel_siginfo are tested to
verify they are zero, and the send fails if they are not.
I made an extensive search through userspace code and I could not find
anything that would break because of the above change. If it turns out
I did break something it will take just the revert of a single change
to restore kernel_siginfo to the same size as userspace siginfo.
Testing did reveal dependencies on preferring the signo passed to
sigqueueinfo over si->signo, so bit the bullet and added the
complexity necessary to handle that case.
Testing also revealed bad things can happen if a negative signal
number is passed into the system calls. Something no sane application
will do but something a malicious program or a fuzzer might do. So I
have fixed the code that performs the bounds checks to ensure negative
signal numbers are handled"

Pull GPIO updates from Linus Walleij:
"This is the bulk of GPIO changes for the v4.20 series:
Core changes:
- A patch series from Hans Verkuil to make it possible to
enable/disable IRQs on a GPIO line at runtime and drive GPIO lines
as output without having to put/get them from scratch.
The irqchip callbacks have been improved so that they can use only
the fastpatch callbacks to enable/disable irqs like any normal
irqchip, especially the gpiod_lock_as_irq() has been improved to be
callable in fastpath context.
A bunch of rework had to be done to achieve this but it is a big
win since I never liked to restrict this to slowpath. The only call
requireing slowpath was try_module_get() and this is kept at the
.request_resources() slowpath callback. In the GPIO CEC driver this
is a big win sine a single line is used for both outgoing and
incoming traffic, and this needs to use IRQs for incoming traffic
while actively driving the line for outgoing traffic.
- Janusz Krzysztofik improved the GPIO array API to pass a "cookie"
(struct gpio_array) and a bitmap for setting or getting multiple
GPIO lines at once.
This improvement orginated in a specific need to speed up an OMAP1
driver and has led to a much better API and real performance gains
when the state of the array can be used to bypass a lot of checks
and code when we want things to go really fast.
The previous code would minimize the number of calls down to the
driver callbacks assuming the CPU speed was orders of magnitude
faster than the I/O latency, but this assumption was wrong on
several platforms: what we needed to do was to profile and improve
the speed on the hot path of the array functions and this change is
now completed.
- Clean out the painful and hard to grasp BNF experiments from the
device tree bindings. Future approaches are looking into using JSON
schema for this purpose. (Rob Herring is floating a patch series.)
New drivers:
- The RCAR driver now supports r8a774a1 (RZ/G2M).
- Synopsys GPIO via CREGs driver.
Major improvements:
- Modernization of the EP93xx driver to use irqdomain and other
contemporary concepts.
- The ingenic driver has been merged into the Ingenic pin control
driver and removed from the GPIO subsystem.
- Debounce support in the ftgpio010 driver"

This allows user to push data into a msg using sk_msg program types.
The format is as follows,
bpf_msg_push_data(msg, offset, len, flags)
this will insert 'len' bytes at offset 'offset'. For example to
prepend 10 bytes at the front of the message the user can,
bpf_msg_push_data(msg, 0, 10, 0);
This will invalidate data bounds so BPF user will have to then recheck
data bounds after calling this. After this the msg size will have been
updated and the user is free to write into the added bytes. We allow
any offset/len as long as it is within the (data, data_end) range.
However, a copy will be required if the ring is full and its possible
for the helper to fail with ENOMEM or EINVAL errors which need to be
handled by the BPF program.
This can be used similar to XDP metadata to pass data between sk_msg
layer and lower layers.

Queue/stack maps implement a FIFO/LIFO data storage for ebpf programs.
These maps support peek, pop and push operations that are exposed to eBPF
programs through the new bpf_map[peek/pop/push] helpers. Those operations
are exposed to userspace applications through the already existing
syscalls in the following way:
BPF_MAP_LOOKUP_ELEM -> peek
BPF_MAP_LOOKUP_AND_DELETE_ELEM -> pop
BPF_MAP_UPDATE_ELEM -> push
Queue/stack maps are implemented using a buffer, tail and head indexes,
hence BPF_F_NO_PREALLOC is not supported.
As opposite to other maps, queue and stack do not use RCU for protecting
maps values, the bpf_map[peek/pop] have a ARG_PTR_TO_UNINIT_MAP_VALUE
argument that is a pointer to a memory zone where to save the value of a
map. Basically the same as ARG_PTR_TO_UNINIT_MEM, but the size has not
be passed as an extra argument.
Our main motivation for implementing queue/stack maps was to keep track
of a pool of elements, like network ports in a SNAT, however we forsee
other use cases, like for exampling saving last N kernel events in a map
and then analysing from userspace.

This patch is for VK_KHR_timeline_semaphore extension, semaphore is called syncobj in kernel side:
This extension introduces a new type of syncobj that has an integer payload
identifying a point in a timeline. Such timeline syncobjs support the
following operations:
* CPU query - A host operation that allows querying the payload of the
timeline syncobj.
* CPU wait - A host operation that allows a blocking wait for a
timeline syncobj to reach a specified value.
* Device wait - A device operation that allows waiting for a
timeline syncobj to reach a specified value.
* Device signal - A device operation that allows advancing the
timeline syncobj to a specified value.
v1:
Since it's a timeline, that means the front time point(PT) always is signaled before the late PT.
a. signal PT design:
Signal PT fence N depends on PT[N-1] fence and signal opertion fence, when PT[N] fence is signaled,
the timeline will increase to value of PT[N].
b. wait PT design:
Wait PT fence is signaled by reaching timeline point value, when timeline is increasing, will compare
wait PTs value with new timeline value, if PT value is lower than timeline value, then wait PT will be
signaled, otherwise keep in list. syncobj wait operation can wait on any point of timeline,
so need a RB tree to order them. And wait PT could ahead of signal PT, we need a sumission fence to
perform that.
v2:
1. remove unused DRM_SYNCOBJ_CREATE_TYPE_NORMAL. (Christian)
2. move unexposed denitions to .c file. (Daniel Vetter)
3. split up the change to drm_syncobj_find_fence() in a separate patch. (Christian)
4. split up the change to drm_syncobj_replace_fence() in a separate patch.
5. drop the submission_fence implementation and instead use wait_event() for that. (Christian)
6. WARN_ON(point != 0) for NORMAL type syncobj case. (Daniel Vetter)
v3:
1. replace normal syncobj with timeline implemenation. (Vetter and Christian)
a. normal syncobj signal op will create a signal PT to tail of signal pt list.
b. normal syncobj wait op will create a wait pt with last signal point, and this wait PT is only signaled by related signal point PT.
2. many bug fix and clean up
3. stub fence moving is moved to other patch.
v4：
1. fix RB tree loop with while(node=rb_first(...)). (Christian)
2. fix syncobj lifecycle. (Christian)
3. only enable_signaling when there is wait_pt. (Christian)
4. fix timeline path issues.
5. write a timeline test in libdrm
v5: (Christian)
1. semaphore is called syncobj in kernel side.
2. don't need 'timeline' characters in some function name.
3. keep syncobj cb.
v6: (Christian)
1. merge syncobj_timeline to syncobj structure.
2. simplify some check sentences.
3. some misc change.
4. fix CTS failed issue.
v7: (Christian)
1. error handling when creating signal pt.
2. remove timeline naming in func.
3. export flags in find_fence.
4. allow reset timeline.
v8:
1. use wait_event_interruptible without timeout
2. rename _TYPE_INDIVIDUAL to _TYPE_BINARY
v9:
1. rename signal_pt->base to signal_pt->fence_array to avoid misleading
2. improve kerneldoc
individual syncobj is tested by ./deqp-vk -n dEQP-VK*semaphore*
timeline syncobj is tested by ./amdgpu_test -s 9

The following code in the linux/ndctl header file:
static inline const char *nvdimm_bus_cmd_name(unsigned cmd)
{
static const char * const names[] = {
[ND_CMD_ARS_CAP] = "ars_cap",
[ND_CMD_ARS_START] = "ars_start",
[ND_CMD_ARS_STATUS] = "ars_status",
[ND_CMD_CLEAR_ERROR] = "clear_error",
[ND_CMD_CALL] = "cmd_call",
};
if (cmd < ARRAY_SIZE(names) && names[cmd])
return names[cmd];
return "unknown";
}
is broken in a number of ways:
(1) ARRAY_SIZE() is not generally defined.
(2) g++ does not support "non-trivial" array initialisers fully yet.
(3) Every file that calls this function will acquire a copy of names[].
The same goes for nvdimm_cmd_name().
Fix all three by converting to a switch statement where each case returns a
string. That way if cmd is a constant, the compiler can trivially reduce it
and, if not, the compiler can use a shared lookup table if it thinks that is
more efficient.

This is a per-VM capability which can be enabled by userspace so that
the faulting linear address will be included with the information
about a pending #PF in L2, and the "new DR6 bits" will be included
with the information about a pending #DB in L2. With this capability
enabled, the L1 hypervisor can now intercept #PF before CR2 is
modified. Under VMX, the L1 hypervisor can now intercept #DB before
DR6 and DR7 are modified.
When userspace has enabled KVM_CAP_EXCEPTION_PAYLOAD, it should
generally provide an appropriate payload when injecting a #PF or #DB
exception via KVM_SET_VCPU_EVENTS. However, to support restoring old
checkpoints, this payload is not required.
Note that bit 16 of the "new DR6 bits" is set to indicate that a debug
exception (#DB) or a breakpoint exception (#BP) occurred inside an RTM
region while advanced debugging of RTM transactional regions was
enabled. This is the reverse of DR6.RTM, which is cleared in this
scenario.
This capability also enables exception.pending in struct
kvm_vcpu_events, which allows userspace to distinguish between pending
and injected exceptions.

Coalesced pio is based on coalesced mmio and can be used for some port
like rtc port, pci-host config port and so on.
Specially in case of rtc as coalesced pio, some versions of windows guest
access rtc frequently because of rtc as system tick. guest access rtc like
this: write register index to 0x70, then write or read data from 0x71.
writing 0x70 port is just as index and do nothing else. So we can use
coalesced pio to handle this scene to reduce VM-EXIT time.
When starting and closing a virtual machine, it will access pci-host config
port frequently. So setting these port as coalesced pio can reduce startup

Add support for the DEC FDDIcontroller 700 (DEFZA), Digital Equipment
Corporation's first-generation FDDI network interface adapter, made for
TURBOchannel and based on a discrete version of what eventually became
Motorola's widely used CAMEL chipset.
The CAMEL chipset is present for example in the DEC FDDIcontroller
TURBOchannel, EISA and PCI adapters (DEFTA/DEFEA/DEFPA) that we support
with the `defxx' driver, however the host bus interface logic and the
firmware API are different in the DEFZA and hence a separate driver is
required.
There isn't much to say about the driver except that it works, but there
is one peculiarity to mention. The adapter implements two Tx/Rx queue
pairs.
Of these one pair is the usual network Tx/Rx queue pair, in this case
used by the adapter to exchange frames with the ring, via the RMC (Ring
Memory Controller) chip. The Tx queue is handled directly by the RMC
chip and resides in onboard packet memory. The Rx queue is maintained
via DMA in host memory by adapter's firmware copying received data
stored by the RMC in onboard packet memory.
The other pair is used to communicate SMT frames with adapter's
firmware. Any SMT frame received from the RMC via the Rx queue must be
queued back by the driver to the SMT Rx queue for the firmware to
process. Similarly the firmware uses the SMT Tx queue to supply the
driver with SMT frames that must be queued back to the Tx queue for the
RMC to send to the ring.
This solution was chosen because the designers ran out of PCB space and
could not squeeze in more logic onto the board that would be required to
handle this SMT frame traffic without the need to involve the driver, as
with the later DEFTA/DEFEA/DEFPA adapters.
Finally the driver does some Frame Control byte decoding, so to avoid
magic numbers some macros are added to <linux/if_fddi.h>.

Aside from the missing linux/types.h inclusion, I also noticed that it
uses the wrong types: 'u32' is not available at all in user space, and
'uint32_t' depends on the inclusion of a standard header that we should
not include from kernel headers.
Change the all to __u32 and similar types here.
I also note the usage of '__be32' and '__be16' that seems unfortunate for
a user space API. I wonder if it would be better to define the interface
in terms of a CPU-endian structure and convert it in kernel space.

This patch adds an option to have per-port vlan stats instead of the
default global stats. The option can be set only when there are no port
vlans in the bridge since we need to allocate the stats if it is set
when vlans are being added to ports (and respectively free them
when being deleted). Also bump RTNL_MAX_TYPE as the bridge is the
largest user of options. The current stats design allows us to add
these without any changes to the fast-path, it all comes down to
the per-vlan stats pointer which, if this option is enabled, will
be allocated for each port vlan instead of using the global bridge-wide
one.

and the number of MPDUs received with an FCS error from a specific

frame matches the MAC address of the peer irrespective of FCS
error.
It should be noted that the TA field in the frame might be corrupted
when there is an FCS error and TA matching logic would fail in such
cases. Hence, FCS error counter might not be fully accurate, but it can
provide help in detecting bad RX links in significant number of cases.
This FCS error counter without full accuracy can be used, e.g., to

rxrpc: Fix packet reception code
Here are a set of patches that prepares for and fix problems in rxrpc's
package reception code. There serious problems are:
(A) There's a window between binding the socket and setting the data_ready
hook in which packets can find their way into the UDP socket's receive
queues.
(B) The skb_recv_udp() will return an error (and clear the error state) if
there was an error on the Tx side. rxrpc doesn't handle this.
(C) The rxrpc data_ready handler doesn't fully drain the UDP receive
queue.
(D) The rxrpc data_ready handler assumes it is called in a non-reentrant
state.
The second patch fixes (A) - (C); the third patch renders (B) and (C)
non-issues by using the recap_rcv hook instead of data_ready - and the
final patch fixes (D). That last is the most complex.
The preparatory patches are:
(1) Fix some places that are doing things in the wrong net namespace.
(2) Stop taking the rcu read lock as it's held by the IP input routine in
the call chain.
(3) Only end the Tx phase if *we* rotated the final packet out of the Tx
buffer.
(4) Don't assume that the call state won't change after dropping the
call_state lock.
(5) Only take receive window and MTU suze parameters from an ACK packet if
it's the latest ACK packet.
(6) Record connection-level abort information correctly.
(7) Fix a trace line.
And then there are three main patches - note that these are mixed in with
the preparatory patches somewhat:
(1) Fix the setup window (A), skb_recv_udp() error check (B) and packet
drainage (C).
(2) Switch to using the encap_rcv instead of data_ready to cut out the
effects of the UDP read queues and get the packets delivered directly.
(3) Add more locking into the various packet input paths to defend against
re-entrance (D).

For now, just provide an API to allocate and remove ufs-bsg node. We
will use this framework to manage ufs devices by sending UPIU
transactions.
For the time being, implements an empty bsg_request() - will add some
more functionality in coming patches.
Nonetheless, we reveal here the protocol we are planning to use: UFS
Transport Protocol Transactions. UFS transactions consist of packets
called UFS Protocol Information Units (UPIU).
There are UPIU’s defined for UFS SCSI commands, responses, data in and
data out, task management, utility functions, vendor functions,
transaction synchronization and control, and more.
By using UPIUs, we get access to the most fine-grained internals of this
protocol, and able to communicate with the device in ways, that are
sometimes beyond the capacity of the ufs driver.
Moreover and as a result, our core structure - ufs_bsg_node has a pretty
lean structure: using upiu transactions that contains the outmost
detailed info, so we don't really need complex constructs to support it.

The following pull-request contains BPF updates for your *net-next* tree.
The main changes are:
1) sk_lookup_[tcp|udp] and sk_release helpers from Joe Stringer which allow
BPF programs to perform lookups for sockets in a network namespace. This would
allow programs to determine early on in processing whether the stack is
expecting to receive the packet, and perform some action (eg drop,
forward somewhere) based on this information.
2) per-cpu cgroup local storage from Roman Gushchin.
Per-cpu cgroup local storage is very similar to simple cgroup storage
except all the data is per-cpu. The main goal of per-cpu variant is to
implement super fast counters (e.g. packet counters), which don't require
neither lookups, neither atomic operations in a fast path.
The example of these hybrid counters is in selftests/bpf/netcnt_prog.c

Add a new socket option, NETLINK_DUMP_STRICT_CHK, that userspace
can use via setsockopt to request strict checking of headers and
attributes on dump requests.
To get dump features such as kernel side filtering based on data in
the header or attributes appended to the dump request, userspace
must call setsockopt() for NETLINK_DUMP_STRICT_CHK and a non-zero
value. Since the netlink sock and its flags are private to the
af_netlink code, the strict checking flag is passed to dump handlers
via a flag in the netlink_callback struct.
For old userspace on new kernel there is no impact as all of the data
checks in later patches are wrapped in a check on the new strict flag.
For new userspace on old kernel, the setsockopt will fail and even if
new userspace sets data in the headers and appended attributes the
kernel will silently ignore it. Moving forward when the setsockopt
succeeds, the new userspace on old kernel means the dump request can
pass an attribute the kernel does not understand. The dump will then
fail as the older kernel does not understand it.
New userspace on new kernel setting the socket option gets the benefit
of the improved data dump.
Kernel side the NETLINK_DUMP_STRICT_CHK uapi is converted to a generic
NETLINK_F_STRICT_CHK flag which can potentially be leveraged for tighter
checking on the NEW, DEL, and SET commands.

Use the UDP encap_rcv hook to cut the bit out of the rxrpc packet reception
in which a packet is placed onto the UDP receive queue and then immediately
removed again by rxrpc. Going via the queue in this manner seems like it
should be unnecessary.
This does, however, require the invention of a value to place in encap_type
as that's one of the conditions to switch packets out to the encap_rcv
hook. Possibly the value doesn't actually matter for anything other than
sockopts on the UDP socket, which aren't accessible outside of rxrpc
anyway.
This seems to cut a bit of time out of the time elapsed between each
sk_buff being timestamped and turning up in rxrpc (the final number in the
following trace excerpts). I measured this by making the rxrpc_rx_packet
trace point print the time elapsed between the skb being timestamped and
the current time (in ns), e.g.:
