commit e55e5df193d247a38a5e1ac65a5316a0adcc22fa upstream.

As already mentioned in my merge message for the 'expand-stack' branch,
we have something like 24 different versions of the page fault path for
all our different architectures, all just _slightly_ different due to
various historical reasons (usually related to exactly when they
branched off the original i386 version, and the details of the other
architectures they had in their history).

And a few of them had some silly mistake in the conversion.

Most of the architectures call the faulting address 'address' in the
fault path.  But not all.  Some just call it 'addr'.  And if you end up
doing a bit too much copy-and-paste, you end up with the wrong version
in the places that do it differently.

In this case it was csky.

commit a050ba1e7422f2cc60ff8bfde3f96d34d00cb585 upstream.

This does the simple pattern conversion of alpha, arc, csky, hexagon,
loongarch, nios2, sh, sparc32, and xtensa to the lock_mm_and_find_vma()
helper.  They all have the regular fault handling pattern without odd
special cases.

The remaining architectures all have something that keeps us from a
straightforward conversion: ia64 and parisc have stacks that can grow
both up as well as down (and ia64 has special address region checks).

And m68k, microblaze, openrisc, sparc64, and um end up having extra
rules about only expanding the stack down a limited amount below the
user space stack pointer.  That is something that x86 used to do too
(long long ago), and it probably could just be skipped, but it still
makes the conversion less than trivial.

Note that this conversion was done manually and with the exception of
alpha without any build testing, because I have a fairly limited cross-
building environment.  The cases are all simple, and I went through the
changes several times, but...

   Raghav.

 - zsmalloc performance improvements from Sergey Senozhatsky.

 - Yue Zhao has found and fixed some data race issues around the
   alteration of memcg userspace tunables.

   some scalability benefits.

 - Keith Busch has improved dmapool's performance, making part of its
   operations O(1) rather than O(n).

 - Peter Xu adds the UFFD_FEATURE_WP_UNPOPULATED feature to userfaultd,
   permitting userspace to wr-protect anon memory unpopulated ptes.

 - Kirill Shutemov has changed MAX_ORDER's meaning to be inclusive
   rather than exclusive, and has fixed a bunch of errors which were
   caused by its unintuitive meaning.

Pull sysctl updates from Luis Chamberlain:
 "This only does a few sysctl moves from the kernel/sysctl.c file, the
  rest of the work has been put towards deprecating two API calls which
  incur recursion and prevent us from simplifying the registration
  process / saving memory per move. Most of the changes have been
  soaking on linux-next since v6.3-rc3.

  I've slowed down the kernel/sysctl.c moves due to Matthew Wilcox's
  feedback that we should see if we could *save* memory with these moves
  instead of incurring more memory. We currently incur more memory since
  when we move a syctl from kernel/sysclt.c out to its own file we end
  up having to add a new empty sysctl used to register it. To achieve
  saving memory we want to allow syctls to be passed without requiring
  the end element being empty, and just have our registration process
  rely on ARRAY_SIZE(). Without this, supporting both styles of sysctls
  would make the sysctl registration pretty brittle, hard to read and
  maintain as can be seen from Meng Tang's efforts to do just this [0].
  Fortunately, in order to use ARRAY_SIZE() for all sysctl registrations
  also implies doing the work to deprecate two API calls which use
  recursion in order to support sysctl declarations with subdirectories.

  And so during this development cycle quite a bit of effort went into
  this deprecation effort. I've annotated the following two APIs are
  deprecated and in few kernel releases we should be good to remove
  them:

   - register_sysctl_table()
   - register_sysctl_paths()

  During this merge window we should be able to deprecate and unexport
  register_sysctl_paths(), we can probably do that towards the end of
  this merge window.

  Deprecating register_sysctl_table() will take a bit more time but this
  pull request goes with a few example of how to do this.

  As it turns out each of the conversions to move away from either of
  these two API calls *also* saves memory. And so long term, all these
  changes *will* prove to have saved a bit of memory on boot.

  The way I see it then is if remove a user of one deprecated call, it
  gives us enough savings to move one kernel/sysctl.c out from the
  generic arrays as we end up with about the same amount of bytes.

  Since deprecating register_sysctl_table() and register_sysctl_paths()
  does not require maintainer coordination except the final unexport
  you'll see quite a bit of these changes from other pull requests, I've
  just kept the stragglers after rc3"

Pull timers and timekeeping updates from Thomas Gleixner:

 - Improve the VDSO build time checks to cover all dynamic relocations

   VDSO does not allow dynamic relocations, but the build time check is
   incomplete and fragile.

   It's based on architectures specifying the relocation types to search
   for and does not handle R_*_NONE relocation entries correctly.
   R_*_NONE relocations are injected by some GNU ld variants if they
   fail to determine the exact .rel[a]/dyn_size to cover trailing zeros.
   R_*_NONE relocations must be ignored by dynamic loaders, so they
   should be ignored in the build time check too.

   Remove the architecture specific relocation types to check for and
   validate strictly that no other relocations than R_*_NONE end up in
   the VSDO .so file.

 - Prefer signal delivery to the current thread for
   CLOCK_PROCESS_CPUTIME_ID based posix-timers

   Such timers prefer to deliver the signal to the main thread of a
   process even if the context in which the timer expires is the current
   task. This has the downside that it might wake up an idle thread.

   As there is no requirement or guarantee that the signal has to be
   delivered to the main thread, avoid this by preferring the current
   task if it is part of the thread group which shares sighand.

   This not only avoids waking idle threads, it also distributes the
   signal delivery in case of multiple timers firing in the context of
   different threads close to each other better.

 - Align the tick period properly (again)

   For a long time the tick was starting at CLOCK_MONOTONIC zero, which
   allowed users space applications to either align with the tick or to
   place a periodic computation so that it does not interfere with the
   tick. The alignement of the tick period was more by chance than by
   intention as the tick is set up before a high resolution clocksource
   is installed, i.e. timekeeping is still tick based and the tick
   period advances from there.

   The early enablement of sched_clock() broke this alignement as the
   time accumulated by sched_clock() is taken into account when
   timekeeping is initialized. So the base value now(CLOCK_MONOTONIC) is
   not longer a multiple of tick periods, which breaks applications
   which relied on that behaviour.

   Cure this by aligning the tick starting point to the next multiple of
   tick periods, i.e 1000ms/CONFIG_HZ.

 - A set of NOHZ fixes and enhancements:

     * Cure the concurrent writer race for idle and IO sleeptime
       statistics

       The statitic values which are exposed via /proc/stat are updated
       from the CPU local idle exit and remotely by cpufreq, but that
       happens without any form of serialization. As a consequence
       sleeptimes can be accounted twice or worse.

       Prevent this by restricting the accumulation writeback to the CPU
       local idle exit and let the remote access compute the accumulated
       value.

     * Protect idle/iowait sleep time with a sequence count

       Reading idle/iowait sleep time, e.g. from /proc/stat, can race
       with idle exit updates. As a consequence the readout may result
       in random and potentially going backwards values.

       Protect this by a sequence count, which fixes the idle time
       statistics issue, but cannot fix the iowait time problem because
       iowait time accounting races with remote wake ups decrementing
       the remote runqueues nr_iowait counter. The latter is impossible
       to fix, so the only way to deal with that is to document it
       properly and to remove the assertion in the selftest which
       triggers occasionally due to that.

     * Restructure struct tick_sched for better cache layout

     * Some small cleanups and a better cache layout for struct
       tick_sched

 - Implement the missing timer_wait_running() callback for POSIX CPU
   timers

   For unknown reason the introduction of the timer_wait_running()
   callback missed to fixup posix CPU timers, which went unnoticed for
   almost four years.

   While initially only targeted to prevent livelocks between a timer
   deletion and the timer expiry function on PREEMPT_RT enabled kernels,
   it turned out that fixing this for mainline is not as trivial as just
   implementing a stub similar to the hrtimer/timer callbacks.

   The reason is that for CONFIG_POSIX_CPU_TIMERS_TASK_WORK enabled
   systems there is a livelock issue independent of RT.

   CONFIG_POSIX_CPU_TIMERS_TASK_WORK=y moves the expiry of POSIX CPU
   timers out from hard interrupt context to task work, which is handled
   before returning to user space or to a VM. The expiry mechanism moves
   the expired timers to a stack local list head with sighand lock held.
   Once sighand is dropped the task can be preempted and a task which
   wants to delete a timer will spin-wait until the expiry task is
   scheduled back in. In the worst case this will end up in a livelock
   when the preempting task and the expiry task are pinned on the same
   CPU.

   The timer wheel has a timer_wait_running() mechanism for RT, which
   uses a per CPU timer-base expiry lock which is held by the expiry
   code and the task waiting for the timer function to complete blocks
   on that lock.

   This does not work in the same way for posix CPU timers as there is
   no timer base and expiry for process wide timers can run on any task
   belonging to that process, but the concept of waiting on an expiry
   lock can be used too in a slightly different way.

   Add a per task mutex to struct posix_cputimers_work, let the expiry
   task hold it accross the expiry function and let the deleting task
   which waits for the expiry to complete block on the mutex.

   In the non-contended case this results in an extra
   mutex_lock()/unlock() pair on both sides.

   This avoids spin-waiting on a task which is scheduled out, prevents
   the livelock and cures the problem for RT and !RT systems

Using register_sysctl_paths() is only required if we are using
leafs with entries but all we are doing is creates leafs with
just one leaf and then entries and register_sysctl_init() works
well with that already.

The 555 permission is already retained by the new_dir() proc
sysctl directory creator.
