[ Upstream commit 1c363531dd814dc4fe10865722bf6b0f72ce4673 ]

The build robot is complaining on Blackfin:

drivers/pinctrl/pinctrl-adi2.c: In function 'port_setup':
&gt;&gt; drivers/pinctrl/pinctrl-adi2.c:221:21: error: dereferencing
   pointer to incomplete type 'struct gpio_port_t'
      writew(readw(&amp;regs-&gt;port_fer) &amp; ~BIT(offset),
                        ^~
drivers/pinctrl/pinctrl-adi2.c: In function 'adi_gpio_ack_irq':
&gt;&gt; drivers/pinctrl/pinctrl-adi2.c:266:18: error: dereferencing
pointer to incomplete type 'struct bfin_pint_regs'
      if (readl(&amp;regs-&gt;invert_set) &amp; pintbit)
                     ^~
It seems the driver need to include &lt;asm/gpio.h&gt; and &lt;asm/irq.h&gt;
to compile.

The Blackfin architecture was re-defining the Kconfig
PINCTRL symbol which is not OK, so replaced this with
PINCTRL_BLACKFIN_ADI2 which selects PINCTRL and PINCTRL_ADI2
just like most arches do.

Further, the old GPIO driver symbol GPIO_ADI was possible to
select at the same time as selecting PINCTRL. This was not
working because the arch-local &lt;asm/gpio.h&gt; header contains
an explicit #ifndef PINCTRL clause making compilation break
if you combine them. The same is true for DEBUG_MMRS.

Make sure the ADI2 pinctrl driver is not selected at the same
time as the old GPIO implementation. (This should be converted
to use gpiolib or pincontrol and move to drivers/...) Also make
sure the old GPIO_ADI driver or DEBUG_MMRS is not selected at
the same time as the new PINCTRL implementation, and only make
PINCTRL_ADI2 selectable for the Blackfin families that actually
have it.

This way it is still possible to add e.g. I2C-based pin
control expanders on the Blackfin.

<title>ptrace: Don't allow accessing an undumpable mm</title>

commit 84d77d3f06e7e8dea057d10e8ec77ad71f721be3 upstream.

It is the reasonable expectation that if an executable file is not
readable there will be no way for a user without special privileges to
read the file.  This is enforced in ptrace_attach but if ptrace
is already attached before exec there is no enforcement for read-only
executables.

As the only way to read such an mm is through access_process_vm
spin a variant called ptrace_access_vm that will fail if the
target process is not being ptraced by the current process, or
the current process did not have sufficient privileges when ptracing
began to read the target processes mm.

In the ptrace implementations replace access_process_vm by
ptrace_access_vm.  There remain several ptrace sites that still use
access_process_vm as they are reading the target executables
instructions (for kernel consumption) or register stacks.  As such it
does not appear necessary to add a permission check to those calls.

This bug has always existed in Linux.

Merge the gup_flags cleanups from Lorenzo Stoakes:
 "This patch series adjusts functions in the get_user_pages* family such
  that desired FOLL_* flags are passed as an argument rather than
  implied by flags.

  The purpose of this change is to make the use of FOLL_FORCE explicit
  so it is easier to grep for and clearer to callers that this flag is
  being used.  The use of FOLL_FORCE is an issue as it overrides missing
  VM_READ/VM_WRITE flags for the VMA whose pages we are reading
  from/writing to, which can result in surprising behaviour.

  The patch series came out of the discussion around commit 38e088546522
  ("mm: check VMA flags to avoid invalid PROT_NONE NUMA balancing"),
  which addressed a BUG_ON() being triggered when a page was faulted in
  with PROT_NONE set but having been overridden by FOLL_FORCE.
  do_numa_page() was run on the assumption the page _must_ be one marked
  for NUMA node migration as an actual PROT_NONE page would have been
  dealt with prior to this code path, however FOLL_FORCE introduced a
  situation where this assumption did not hold.

  See

      https://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&amp;m=147585445805166

Additionally, there's a fix for an ancient bug related to FOLL_FORCE and
FOLL_WRITE by me.

This removes the 'write' argument from access_process_vm() and replaces
it with 'gup_flags' as use of this function previously silently implied
FOLL_FORCE, whereas after this patch callers explicitly pass this flag.

We make this explicit as use of FOLL_FORCE can result in surprising
behaviour (and hence bugs) within the mm subsystem.

<title>nmi_backtrace: generate one-line reports for idle cpus</title>

When doing an nmi backtrace of many cores, most of which are idle, the
output is a little overwhelming and very uninformative.  Suppress
messages for cpus that are idling when they are interrupted and just
emit one line, "NMI backtrace for N skipped: idling at pc 0xNNN".

We do this by grouping all the cpuidle code together into a new
.cpuidle.text section, and then checking the address of the interrupted
PC to see if it lies within that section.

This commit suitably tags x86 and tile idle routines, and only adds in
the minimal framework for other architectures.

Pull GPIO updates from Linus Walleij:
 "This is the bulk of GPIO changes for the v4.9 series:

  Subsystem improvements:

   - do away with the last users of the obsolete Kconfig options
     ARCH_REQUIRE_GPIOLIB and ARCH_WANT_OPTIONAL_GPIOLIB (the latter
     always sounded like an item on a wishlist to Santa Claus to me). We
     can now select GPIOLIB and be done with it, for all archs. After
     some struggle it even work on UM. Not that it has GPIO, but if it
     wants to, it can select the library.

   - continued efforts to make drivers properly either tristate or bool.

   - introduce a warning for drivers assigning default triggers to their
     irqchip lines when probed from device tree, so we find and fix
     these ambigous drivers. It is agreed that in the OF config path,
     the device tree defines trigger characteristics.

   - the same warning, mutatis mutandis, for ACPI-probed GPIO irqchips.

   - we introduce the ability to mark certain IRQ lines as "unusable" as
     they can be taken by BIOS/firmware, unrouted in silicon and
     generally nasty if you use them, and such things. This is put to
     good use in the STMPE driver and also in the Cherryview pin control
     driver.

   - a new "mockup" virtual GPIO device that can be used for testing.
     The plan is to add unit tests under tools/* for exercising this
     device and verify that the kernel code paths are working as they
     should.

   - make memory-mapped I/O-drivers depend on HAS_IOMEM. This was
     implicit all the time, but when people started building UM with
     allyesconfig or allmodconfig it exploded in their face.

   - move some stray bits of device tree and ACPI HW description
     callbacks down into their respective implementation silo. These
     were causing issues when compiling on !HAS_IOMEM as well, so now
     eventually UM compiles the GPIOLIB library if it wants to.

  New drivers:

   - new driver for the Aspeed GPIO front-end companion to the pin
     controller merged through the pin control tree.

   - new driver for the LP873x PMIC GPIO portions.

   - new driver for Technologic Systems' I2C FPGA GPIO such as TS4900,
     TS-7970, TS-7990 and TS-4100.

   - new driver for the Broadcom BCM63xx series including BCM6338 and
     BCM6345.

   - new driver for the Intel WhiskeyCove PMIC GPIO.

   - new driver for the Allwinner AXP209 PMIC GPIO portions.

   - new driver for Diamond Systems 48 line GPIO-MM, another of these
     port-mapped I/O expansion cards.

   - support the STMicroelectronics STMPE1600 variant in the STMPE
     driver.

  Driver improvements:

   - the STMPE driver now supports rising/falling edge detection
     properly for IRQs.

   - the PCA954x will now fetch and enable its VCC regulator properly.

   - major rework of the PCA953x driver with the goal of eventually
     switching it over to use regmap and thus modernize it even more.

   - switch the IOP driver to use the generic MMIO GPIO library.

   - move the ages old HTC EGPIO (extended GPIO) GPIO expander driver
     over to this subsystem from MFD, achieveing some separation of

Pull GPIO updates from Linus Walleij:
 "This is the bulk of GPIO changes for the v4.9 series:

  Subsystem improvements:

   - do away with the last users of the obsolete Kconfig options
     ARCH_REQUIRE_GPIOLIB and ARCH_WANT_OPTIONAL_GPIOLIB (the latter
     always sounded like an item on a wishlist to Santa Claus to me). We
     can now select GPIOLIB and be done with it, for all archs. After
     some struggle it even work on UM. Not that it has GPIO, but if it
     wants to, it can select the library.

   - continued efforts to make drivers properly either tristate or bool.

   - introduce a warning for drivers assigning default triggers to their
     irqchip lines when probed from device tree, so we find and fix
     these ambigous drivers. It is agreed that in the OF config path,
     the device tree defines trigger characteristics.

   - the same warning, mutatis mutandis, for ACPI-probed GPIO irqchips.

   - we introduce the ability to mark certain IRQ lines as "unusable" as
     they can be taken by BIOS/firmware, unrouted in silicon and
     generally nasty if you use them, and such things. This is put to
     good use in the STMPE driver and also in the Cherryview pin control
     driver.

   - a new "mockup" virtual GPIO device that can be used for testing.
     The plan is to add unit tests under tools/* for exercising this
     device and verify that the kernel code paths are working as they
     should.

   - make memory-mapped I/O-drivers depend on HAS_IOMEM. This was
     implicit all the time, but when people started building UM with
     allyesconfig or allmodconfig it exploded in their face.

   - move some stray bits of device tree and ACPI HW description
     callbacks down into their respective implementation silo. These
     were causing issues when compiling on !HAS_IOMEM as well, so now
     eventually UM compiles the GPIOLIB library if it wants to.

  New drivers:

   - new driver for the Aspeed GPIO front-end companion to the pin
     controller merged through the pin control tree.

   - new driver for the LP873x PMIC GPIO portions.

   - new driver for Technologic Systems' I2C FPGA GPIO such as TS4900,
     TS-7970, TS-7990 and TS-4100.

   - new driver for the Broadcom BCM63xx series including BCM6338 and
     BCM6345.

   - new driver for the Intel WhiskeyCove PMIC GPIO.

   - new driver for the Allwinner AXP209 PMIC GPIO portions.

   - new driver for Diamond Systems 48 line GPIO-MM, another of these
     port-mapped I/O expansion cards.

   - support the STMicroelectronics STMPE1600 variant in the STMPE
     driver.

  Driver improvements:

   - the STMPE driver now supports rising/falling edge detection
     properly for IRQs.

   - the PCA954x will now fetch and enable its VCC regulator properly.

   - major rework of the PCA953x driver with the goal of eventually
     switching it over to use regmap and thus modernize it even more.

   - switch the IOP driver to use the generic MMIO GPIO library.

   - move the ages old HTC EGPIO (extended GPIO) GPIO expander driver
     over to this subsystem from MFD, achieveing some separation of
     concerns"

Pull char/misc driver updates from Greg KH:
 "Here's the "big" char and misc driver update for 4.9-rc1.

  Lots of little things here, all over the driver tree for subsystems
  that flow through me. Nothing major that I can discern, full details
  are in the shortlog.

  All have been in the linux-next tree with no reported issues"
