<title>arch: setup PF_IO_WORKER threads like PF_KTHREAD</title>

PF_IO_WORKER are kernel threads too, but they aren't PF_KTHREAD in the
sense that we don't assign -&gt;set_child_tid with our own structure. Just
ensure that every arch sets up the PF_IO_WORKER threads like kthreads
in the arch implementation of copy_thread().

In a few places we don't have whitespace between macro parameters,
which makes them hard to read. This patch adds whitespace to clearly
separate the parameters.

In a few places we have unnecessary whitespace around unary operators,
which is confusing, This patch removes the unnecessary whitespace.

Pull arm64 updates from Catalin Marinas:

 - Expose tag address bits in siginfo. The original arm64 ABI did not
   expose any of the bits 63:56 of a tagged address in siginfo. In the
   presence of user ASAN or MTE, this information may be useful. The
   implementation is generic to other architectures supporting tags
   (like SPARC ADI, subject to wiring up the arch code). The user will
   have to opt in via sigaction(SA_EXPOSE_TAGBITS) so that the extra
   bits, if available, become visible in si_addr.

 - Default to 32-bit wide ZONE_DMA. Previously, ZONE_DMA was set to the
   lowest 1GB to cope with the Raspberry Pi 4 limitations, to the
   detriment of other platforms. With these changes, the kernel scans
   the Device Tree dma-ranges and the ACPI IORT information before
   deciding on a smaller ZONE_DMA.

 - Strengthen READ_ONCE() to acquire when CONFIG_LTO=y. When building
   with LTO, there is an increased risk of the compiler converting an
   address dependency headed by a READ_ONCE() invocation into a control
   dependency and consequently allowing for harmful reordering by the
   CPU.

 - Add CPPC FFH support using arm64 AMU counters.

 - set_fs() removal on arm64. This renders the User Access Override
   (UAO) ARMv8 feature unnecessary.

 - Perf updates: PMU driver for the ARM DMC-620 memory controller, sysfs
   identifier file for SMMUv3, stop event counters support for i.MX8MP,
   enable the perf events-based hard lockup detector.

 - Reorganise the kernel VA space slightly so that 52-bit VA
   configurations can use more virtual address space.

 - Improve the robustness of the arm64 memory offline event notifier.

 - Pad the Image header to 64K following the EFI header definition
   updated recently to increase the section alignment to 64K.

 - Support CONFIG_CMDLINE_EXTEND on arm64.

 - Do not use tagged PC in the kernel (TCR_EL1.TBID1==1), freeing up 8
   bits for PtrAuth.

 - Switch to vmapped shadow call stacks.

 - Miscellaneous clean-ups.

Pull arm64 fixes from Will Deacon:
 "I'm sad to say that we've got an unusually large arm64 fixes pull for
  rc7 which addresses numerous significant instrumentation issues with
  our entry code.

  Without these patches, lockdep is hopelessly unreliable in some
  configurations [1,2] and syzkaller is therefore not a lot of use
  because it's so noisy.

  Although much of this has always been broken, it appears to have been
  exposed more readily by other changes such as 044d0d6de9f5 ("lockdep:
  Only trace IRQ edges") and general lockdep improvements around IRQ
  tracing and NMIs.

  Fixing this properly required moving much of the instrumentation hooks
  from our entry assembly into C, which Mark has been working on for the
  last few weeks. We're not quite ready to move to the recently added
  generic functions yet, but the code here has been deliberately written
  to mimic that closely so we can look at cleaning things up once we
  have a bit more breathing room.

  Having said all that, the second version of these patches was posted
  last week and I pushed it into our CI (kernelci and cki) along with a
  commit which forced on PROVE_LOCKING, NOHZ_FULL and
  CONTEXT_TRACKING_FORCE. The result? We found a real bug in the
  md/raid10 code [3].

  Oh, and there's also a really silly typo patch that's unrelated.

  Summary:

   - Fix numerous issues with instrumentation and exception entry

   - Fix hideous typo in unused register field definition"

<title>arm64: uaccess: remove set_fs()</title>

Now that the uaccess primitives dont take addr_limit into account, we
have no need to manipulate this via set_fs() and get_fs(). Remove
support for these, along with some infrastructure this renders
redundant.

We no longer need to flip UAO to access kernel memory under KERNEL_DS,
and head.S unconditionally clears UAO for all kernel configurations via
an ERET in init_kernel_el. Thus, we don't need to dynamically flip UAO,
nor do we need to context-switch it. However, we still need to adjust
PAN during SDEI entry.

Masking of __user pointers no longer needs to use the dynamic value of
addr_limit, and can use a constant derived from the maximum possible
userspace task size. A new TASK_SIZE_MAX constant is introduced for
this, which is also used by core code. In configurations supporting
52-bit VAs, this may include a region of unusable VA space above a
48-bit TTBR0 limit, but never includes any portion of TTBR1.

Note that TASK_SIZE_MAX is an exclusive limit, while USER_DS and
KERNEL_DS were inclusive limits, and is converted to a mask by
subtracting one.

As the SDEI entry code repurposes the otherwise unnecessary
pt_regs::orig_addr_limit field to store the TTBR1 of the interrupted
context, for now we rename that to pt_regs::sdei_ttbr1. In future we can
consider factoring that out.

<title>arm64: ensure ERET from kthread is illegal</title>

For consistency, all tasks have a pt_regs reserved at the highest
portion of their task stack. Among other things, this ensures that a
task's SP is always pointing within its stack rather than pointing
immediately past the end.

While it is never legitimate to ERET from a kthread, we take pains to
initialize pt_regs for kthreads as if this were legitimate. As this is
never legitimate, the effects of an erroneous return are rarely tested.

Let's simplify things by initializing a kthread's pt_regs such that an
ERET is caught as an illegal exception return, and removing the explicit
initialization of other exception context. Note that as
spectre_v4_enable_task_mitigation() only manipulates the PSTATE within
the unused regs this is safe to remove.

As user tasks will have their exception context initialized via
start_thread() or start_compat_thread(), this should only impact cases
where something has gone very wrong and we'd like that to be clearly
indicated.

<title>arm64: mark idle code as noinstr</title>

<content type='text'>
Core code disables RCU when calling arch_cpu_idle(), so it's not safe
for arch_cpu_idle() or its calees to be instrumented, as the
instrumentation callbacks may attempt to use RCU or other features which
are unsafe to use in this context.

Mark them noinstr to prevent issues.

The use of local_irq_enable() in arch_cpu_idle() is similarly
problematic, and the "sched/idle: Fix arch_cpu_idle() vs tracing" patch
queued in the tip tree addresses that case.
