[ Upstream commit 35561bab768977c9e05f1f1a9bc00134c85f3e28 ]

The include/generated/asm-offsets.h is generated in Kbuild during
compiling from arch/SRCARCH/kernel/asm-offsets.c. When we want to
generate another similar offset header file, circular dependency can
happen.

For example, we want to generate a offset file include/generated/test.h,
which is included in include/sched/sched.h. If we generate asm-offsets.h
first, it will fail, as include/sched/sched.h is included in asm-offsets.c
and include/generated/test.h doesn't exist; If we generate test.h first,
it can't success neither, as include/generated/asm-offsets.h is included
by it.

In x86_64, the macro COMPILE_OFFSETS is used to avoid such circular
dependency. We can generate asm-offsets.h first, and if the
COMPILE_OFFSETS is defined, we don't include the "generated/test.h".

And we define the macro COMPILE_OFFSETS for all the asm-offsets.c for this
purpose.

<title>arch: copy_thread: pass clone_flags as u64</title>

[ Upstream commit bbc46b23af5bb934cd1cf066ef4342cee457a24e ]

With the introduction of clone3 in commit 7f192e3cd316 ("fork: add
clone3") the effective bit width of clone_flags on all architectures was
increased from 32-bit to 64-bit, with a new type of u64 for the flags.
However, for most consumers of clone_flags the interface was not
changed from the previous type of unsigned long.

While this works fine as long as none of the new 64-bit flag bits
(CLONE_CLEAR_SIGHAND and CLONE_INTO_CGROUP) are evaluated, this is still
undesirable in terms of the principle of least surprise.

Thus, this commit fixes all relevant interfaces of the copy_thread
function that is called from copy_process to consistently pass
clone_flags as u64, so that no truncation to 32-bit integers occurs on
32-bit architectures.

<title>fs: introduce file_getattr and file_setattr syscalls</title>

Introduce file_getattr() and file_setattr() syscalls to manipulate inode
extended attributes. The syscalls takes pair of file descriptor and
pathname. Then it operates on inode opened accroding to openat()
semantics. The struct file_attr is passed to obtain/change extended
attributes.

This is an alternative to FS_IOC_FSSETXATTR ioctl with a difference
that file don't need to be open as we can reference it with a path
instead of fd. By having this we can manipulated inode extended
attributes not only on regular files but also on special ones. This
is not possible with FS_IOC_FSSETXATTR ioctl as with special files
we can not call ioctl() directly on the filesystem inode using fd.

This patch adds two new syscalls which allows userspace to get/set
extended inode attributes on special files by using parent directory
and a path - *at() like syscall.

The extra-y syntax is deprecated. Instead, use always-$(KBUILD_BUILTIN),
which behaves equivalently.

The throttle support has been added in the generic code. Remove
the driver-specific throttle support.

Besides the throttle, perf_event_overflow may return true because of
event_limit. It already does an inatomic event disable. The pmu-&gt;stop
is not required either.

Pull scheduler updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "Core &amp; fair scheduler changes:

   - Cancel the slice protection of the idle entity (Zihan Zhou)
   - Reduce the default slice to avoid tasks getting an extra tick
     (Zihan Zhou)
   - Force propagating min_slice of cfs_rq when {en,de}queue tasks
     (Tianchen Ding)
   - Refactor can_migrate_task() to elimate looping (I Hsin Cheng)
   - Add unlikey branch hints to several system calls (Colin Ian King)
   - Optimize current_clr_polling() on certain architectures (Yujun
     Dong)

  Deadline scheduler: (Juri Lelli)
   - Remove redundant dl_clear_root_domain call
   - Move dl_rebuild_rd_accounting to cpuset.h

  Uclamp:
   - Use the uclamp_is_used() helper instead of open-coding it (Xuewen
     Yan)
   - Optimize sched_uclamp_used static key enabling (Xuewen Yan)

  Scheduler topology support: (Juri Lelli)
   - Ignore special tasks when rebuilding domains
   - Add wrappers for sched_domains_mutex
   - Generalize unique visiting of root domains
   - Rebuild root domain accounting after every update
   - Remove partition_and_rebuild_sched_domains
   - Stop exposing partition_sched_domains_locked

  RSEQ: (Michael Jeanson)
   - Update kernel fields in lockstep with CONFIG_DEBUG_RSEQ=y
   - Fix segfault on registration when rseq_cs is non-zero
   - selftests: Add rseq syscall errors test
   - selftests: Ensure the rseq ABI TLS is actually 1024 bytes

  Membarriers:
   - Fix redundant load of membarrier_state (Nysal Jan K.A.)

  Scheduler debugging:
   - Introduce and use preempt_model_str() (Sebastian Andrzej Siewior)
   - Make CONFIG_SCHED_DEBUG unconditional (Ingo Molnar)

  Fixes and cleanups:
   - Always save/restore x86 TSC sched_clock() on suspend/resume
     (Guilherme G. Piccoli)
   - Misc fixes and cleanups (Thorsten Blum, Juri Lelli, Sebastian
     Andrzej Siewior)"

die() invokes later show_regs() -&gt; show_regs_print_info() which prints
the current preemption model.

Remove it from the initial line.
