[ Upstream commit 865e3845eeaa21e9a62abc1361644e67124f1ec0 ]

This function is expected to return a boolean value, which should be
true on success and false on failure.

commit c200e4bb44e80b343c09841e7caaaca0aac5e5fa upstream.

User mode linux is the last user of the PT_DTRACE flag.  Using the flag to indicate
single stepping is a little confusing and worse changing tsk-&gt;ptrace without locking
could potentionally cause problems.

So use a thread info flag with a better name instead of flag in tsk-&gt;ptrace.

Remove the definition PT_DTRACE as uml is the last user.

We call arch_cpu_idle() with RCU disabled, but then use
local_irq_{en,dis}able(), which invokes tracing, which relies on RCU.

Switch all arch_cpu_idle() implementations to use
raw_local_irq_{en,dis}able() and carefully manage the
lockdep,rcu,tracing state like we do in entry.

(XXX: we really should change arch_cpu_idle() to not return with
interrupts enabled)

Now that HAVE_COPY_THREAD_TLS has been removed, rename copy_thread_tls()
back simply copy_thread(). It's a simpler name, and doesn't imply that only
tls is copied here. This finishes an outstanding chunk of internal process
creation work since we've added clone3().

<content type='text'>
Patch series "mm: consolidate definitions of page table accessors", v2.

The low level page table accessors (pXY_index(), pXY_offset()) are
duplicated across all architectures and sometimes more than once.  For
instance, we have 31 definition of pgd_offset() for 25 supported
architectures.

Most of these definitions are actually identical and typically it boils
down to, e.g.

static inline unsigned long pmd_index(unsigned long address)
{
        return (address &gt;&gt; PMD_SHIFT) &amp; (PTRS_PER_PMD - 1);
}

static inline pmd_t *pmd_offset(pud_t *pud, unsigned long address)
{
        return (pmd_t *)pud_page_vaddr(*pud) + pmd_index(address);
}

These definitions can be shared among 90% of the arches provided
XYZ_SHIFT, PTRS_PER_XYZ and xyz_page_vaddr() are defined.

For architectures that really need a custom version there is always
possibility to override the generic version with the usual ifdefs magic.

These patches introduce include/linux/pgtable.h that replaces
include/asm-generic/pgtable.h and add the definitions of the page table
accessors to the new header.

This patch (of 12):

The linux/mm.h header includes &lt;asm/pgtable.h&gt; to allow inlining of the
functions involving page table manipulations, e.g.  pte_alloc() and
pmd_alloc().  So, there is no point to explicitly include &lt;asm/pgtable.h&gt;
in the files that include &lt;linux/mm.h&gt;.

The include statements in such cases are remove with a simple loop:

	for f in $(git grep -l "include &lt;linux/mm.h&gt;") ; do
		sed -i -e '/include &lt;asm\/pgtable.h&gt;/ d' $f
	done

<title>um: time-travel: Rewrite as an event scheduler</title>

Instead of tracking all the various timer configurations,
modify the time-travel mode to have an event scheduler and
use a timer event on the scheduler to handle the different
timer configurations.

This doesn't change the function right now, but it prepares
the code for having different kinds of events in the future
(i.e. interrupts coming from other devices that are part of
co-simulation.)

While at it, also move time_travel_sleep() to time.c to
reduce the externally visible API surface.

Also, we really should mark time-travel as incompatible with
SMP, even if UML doesn't support SMP yet.

Finally, I noticed a bug while developing this - if we move
time forward due to consuming time while reading the clock,
we might move across the next event and that would cause us
to go backward in time when we then handle that event. Fix
that by invoking the whole event machine in this case, but
in order to simplify this, make reading the clock only cost
something when interrupts are not disabled. Otherwise, we'd
have to hook into the interrupt delivery machinery etc. and
that's somewhat intrusive.
