Pull MIPS fixes from Paul Burton:
 "A few MIPS fixes for 5.3:

   - Various switch fall through annotations to fixup warnings &amp; errors
     resulting from -Wimplicit-fallthrough.

   - A fix for systems (at least jazz) using an i8253 PIT as clocksource
     when it's not suitably configured.

   - Set struct cacheinfo's cpu_map_populated field to true, indicating
     that we filled in cache info detected from cop0 registers &amp;
     avoiding complaints about that info being (intentionally) missing
     in devicetree"

Because CONFIG_OF defined for MIPS, cacheinfo attempts to fill information
from DT, ignoring data filled by architecture routine. This leads to error
reported

 cacheinfo: Unable to detect cache hierarchy for CPU 0

Way to fix this provided in
commit fac51482577d ("drivers: base: cacheinfo: fix x86 with
 CONFIG_OF enabled")

Utilize same mechanism to report that cacheinfo set by architecture
specific function

i8253 clocksource needs a free running timer. This could only
be used, if i8253 clockevent is set up as periodic.

<title>mm, kprobes: generalize and rename notify_page_fault() as kprobe_page_fault()</title>

Architectures which support kprobes have very similar boilerplate around
calling kprobe_fault_handler().  Use a helper function in kprobes.h to
unify them, based on the x86 code.

This changes the behaviour for other architectures when preemption is
enabled.  Previously, they would have disabled preemption while calling
the kprobe handler.  However, preemption would be disabled if this fault
was due to a kprobe, so we know the fault was not due to a kprobe
handler and can simply return failure.

This behaviour was introduced in commit a980c0ef9f6d ("x86/kprobes:
Refactor kprobes_fault() like kprobe_exceptions_notify()")

Now that we build with -Wimplicit-fallthrough=3, some warnings are
produced in the arch/mips perf events code that are promoted to errors:

 arch/mips/kernel/perf_event_mipsxx.c:792:3: error: this statement may fall through [-Werror=implicit-fallthrough=]
 arch/mips/kernel/perf_event_mipsxx.c:795:3: error: this statement may fall through [-Werror=implicit-fallthrough=]
 arch/mips/kernel/perf_event_mipsxx.c:798:3: error: this statement may fall through [-Werror=implicit-fallthrough=]
 arch/mips/kernel/perf_event_mipsxx.c:1407:6: error: this statement may fall through [-Werror=implicit-fallthrough=]

Assume the fall throughs are deliberate amd annotate/eliminate them.

<title>arch: mark syscall number 435 reserved for clone3</title>

A while ago Arnd made it possible to give new system calls the same
syscall number on all architectures (except alpha). To not break this
nice new feature let's mark 435 for clone3 as reserved on all
architectures that do not yet implement it.
Even if an architecture does not plan to implement it this ensures that
new system calls coming after clone3 will have the same number on all
architectures.

Pull pidfd updates from Christian Brauner:
 "This adds two main features.

   - First, it adds polling support for pidfds. This allows process
     managers to know when a (non-parent) process dies in a race-free
     way.

     The notification mechanism used follows the same logic that is
     currently used when the parent of a task is notified of a child's
     death. With this patchset it is possible to put pidfds in an
     {e}poll loop and get reliable notifications for process (i.e.
     thread-group) exit.

   - The second feature compliments the first one by making it possible
     to retrieve pollable pidfds for processes that were not created
     using CLONE_PIDFD.

     A lot of processes get created with traditional PID-based calls
     such as fork() or clone() (without CLONE_PIDFD). For these
     processes a caller can currently not create a pollable pidfd. This
     is a problem for Android's low memory killer (LMK) and service
     managers such as systemd.

  Both patchsets are accompanied by selftests.

  It's perhaps worth noting that the work done so far and the work done
  in this branch for pidfd_open() and polling support do already see
  some adoption:

   - Android is in the process of backporting this work to all their LTS
     kernels [1]

   - Service managers make use of pidfd_send_signal but will need to
     wait until we enable waiting on pidfds for full adoption.

   - And projects I maintain make use of both pidfd_send_signal and
     CLONE_PIDFD [2] and will use polling support and pidfd_open() too"

Pull force_sig() argument change from Eric Biederman:
 "A source of error over the years has been that force_sig has taken a
  task parameter when it is only safe to use force_sig with the current
  task.

  The force_sig function is built for delivering synchronous signals
  such as SIGSEGV where the userspace application caused a synchronous
  fault (such as a page fault) and the kernel responded with a signal.

  Because the name force_sig does not make this clear, and because the
  force_sig takes a task parameter the function force_sig has been
  abused for sending other kinds of signals over the years. Slowly those
  have been fixed when the oopses have been tracked down.

  This set of changes fixes the remaining abusers of force_sig and
  carefully rips out the task parameter from force_sig and friends
  making this kind of error almost impossible in the future"
