[ Upstream commit f1a0a376ca0c4ef1fc3d24e3e502acbb5b795674 ]

As pointed out by commit

  de9b8f5dcbd9 ("sched: Fix crash trying to dequeue/enqueue the idle thread")

init_idle() can and will be invoked more than once on the same idle
task. At boot time, it is invoked for the boot CPU thread by
sched_init(). Then smp_init() creates the threads for all the secondary
CPUs and invokes init_idle() on them.

As the hotplug machinery brings the secondaries to life, it will issue
calls to idle_thread_get(), which itself invokes init_idle() yet again.
In this case it's invoked twice more per secondary: at _cpu_up(), and at
bringup_cpu().

Given smp_init() already initializes the idle tasks for all *possible*
CPUs, no further initialization should be required. Now, removing
init_idle() from idle_thread_get() exposes some interesting expectations
with regards to the idle task's preempt_count: the secondary startup always
issues a preempt_disable(), requiring some reset of the preempt count to 0
between hot-unplug and hotplug, which is currently served by
idle_thread_get() -&gt; idle_init().

Given the idle task is supposed to have preemption disabled once and never
see it re-enabled, it seems that what we actually want is to initialize its
preempt_count to PREEMPT_DISABLED and leave it there. Do that, and remove
init_idle() from idle_thread_get().

Secondary startups were patched via coccinelle:

  -preempt_disable();

  cpu_startup_entry(CPUHP_AP_ONLINE_IDLE);

<title>quota: Disable quotactl_path syscall</title>

<content type='text'>
In commit fa8b90070a80 ("quota: wire up quotactl_path") we have wired up
new quotactl_path syscall. However some people in LWN discussion have
objected that the path based syscall is missing dirfd and flags argument
which is mostly standard for contemporary path based syscalls. Indeed
they have a point and after a discussion with Christian Brauner and
Sascha Hauer I've decided to disable the syscall for now and update its
API. Since there is no userspace currently using that syscall and it
hasn't been released in any major release, we should be fine.

Pull Landlock LSM from James Morris:
 "Add Landlock, a new LSM from Mickaël Salaün.

  Briefly, Landlock provides for unprivileged application sandboxing.

  From Mickaël's cover letter:
    "The goal of Landlock is to enable to restrict ambient rights (e.g.
     global filesystem access) for a set of processes. Because Landlock
     is a stackable LSM [1], it makes possible to create safe security
     sandboxes as new security layers in addition to the existing
     system-wide access-controls. This kind of sandbox is expected to
     help mitigate the security impact of bugs or unexpected/malicious
     behaviors in user-space applications. Landlock empowers any
     process, including unprivileged ones, to securely restrict
     themselves.

     Landlock is inspired by seccomp-bpf but instead of filtering
     syscalls and their raw arguments, a Landlock rule can restrict the
     use of kernel objects like file hierarchies, according to the
     kernel semantic. Landlock also takes inspiration from other OS
     sandbox mechanisms: XNU Sandbox, FreeBSD Capsicum or OpenBSD
     Pledge/Unveil.

     In this current form, Landlock misses some access-control features.
     This enables to minimize this patch series and ease review. This
     series still addresses multiple use cases, especially with the
     combined use of seccomp-bpf: applications with built-in sandboxing,
     init systems, security sandbox tools and security-oriented APIs [2]"

<title>MIPS: Loongson64: Add kexec/kdump support</title>

<id>6ce48897ce476bed86fde28752c27596e8753277</id>
<content type='text'>
Add kexec/kdump support for Loongson64 by:
1, Provide Loongson-specific kexec functions: loongson_kexec_prepare(),
   loongson_kexec_shutdown() and loongson_crash_shutdown();
2, Provide Loongson-specific assembly code in kexec_smp_wait();

To start Loongson64, The boot CPU needs 3 parameters:
fw_arg0: the number of arguments in cmdline (i.e., argc).
fw_arg1: structure holds cmdline such as "root=/dev/sda1 console=tty"
         (i.e., argv).
fw_arg2: environment (i.e., envp, additional boot parameters from LEFI).

Non-boot CPUs do not need one parameter as the IPI mailbox base address.
They query their own IPI mailbox to get PC, SP and GP in a loopi, until
the boot CPU brings them up.

loongson_kexec_prepare(): Setup cmdline for kexec/kdump. The kexec/kdump
cmdline comes from kexec's "append" option string. This structure will
be parsed in fw_init_cmdline() of arch/mips/fw/lib/cmdline.c. Both image
-&gt;control_code_page and the cmdline need to be in a safe memory region
(memory allocated by the old kernel may be corrupted by the new kernel).
In order to maintain compatibility for the old firmware, the low 2MB is
reserverd and safe for Loongson. So let KEXEC_CTRL_CODE and KEXEC_ARGV_
ADDR be here. LEFI parameters may be corrupted at runtime, so backup it
at mips_reboot_setup(), and then restore it at loongson_kexec_shutdown()
/loongson_crash_shutdown().

loongson_kexec_shutdown(): Wake up all present CPUs and let them go to
reboot_code_buffer. Pass the kexec parameters to kexec_args.

loongson_crash_shutdown(): Pass the kdump parameters to kexec_args.

The assembly part in kexec_smp_wait provide a routine as BIOS does, in
order to keep secondary CPUs in a querying loop.

The layout of low 2MB memory in our design:
0x80000000, the first MB, the first 64K, Exception vectors
0x80010000, the first MB, the second 64K, STR (suspend) data
0x80020000, the first MB, the third and fourth 64K, UEFI HOB
0x80040000, the first MB, the fifth 64K, RT-Thread for SMC
0x80100000, the second MB, the first 64K, KEXEC code
0x80108000, the second MB, the second 64K, KEXEC data

Add kexec/kdump support for Loongson64 by:
1, Provide Loongson-specific kexec functions: loongson_kexec_prepare(),
   loongson_kexec_shutdown() and loongson_crash_shutdown();
2, Provide Loongson-specific assembly code in kexec_smp_wait();

To start Loongson64, The boot CPU needs 3 parameters:
fw_arg0: the number of arguments in cmdline (i.e., argc).
fw_arg1: structure holds cmdline such as "root=/dev/sda1 console=tty"
         (i.e., argv).
fw_arg2: environment (i.e., envp, additional boot parameters from LEFI).

Non-boot CPUs do not need one parameter as the IPI mailbox base address.
They query their own IPI mailbox to get PC, SP and GP in a loopi, until
the boot CPU brings them up.

<title>MIPS: Loongson64: Use _CACHE_UNCACHED instead of _CACHE_UNCACHED_ACCELERATED</title>

Loongson64 processors have a writecombine issue that maybe failed to
write back framebuffer used with ATI Radeon or AMD GPU at times, after
commit 8a08e50cee66 ("drm: Permit video-buffers writecombine mapping
for MIPS"), there exists some errors such as blurred screen and lockup,
and so on.

[   60.958721] radeon 0000:03:00.0: ring 0 stalled for more than 10079msec
[   60.965315] radeon 0000:03:00.0: GPU lockup (current fence id 0x0000000000000112 last fence id 0x000000000000011d on ring 0)
[   60.976525] radeon 0000:03:00.0: ring 3 stalled for more than 10086msec
[   60.983156] radeon 0000:03:00.0: GPU lockup (current fence id 0x0000000000000374 last fence id 0x00000000000003a8 on ring 3)

As discussed earlier [1], it might be better to disable writecombine
on the CPU detection side because the root cause is unknown now.

Actually, this patch is a temporary solution to just make it work well,
it is not a proper and final solution, I hope someone will have a better
solution to fix this issue in the future.
