<content type='text'>
This reverts commit 9da3f2b74054406f87dff7101a569217ffceb29b.

It was well-intentioned, but wrong.  Overriding the exception tables for
instructions for random reasons is just wrong, and that is what the new
code did.

It caused problems for tracing, and it caused problems for strncpy_from_user(),
because the new checks made perfectly valid use cases break, rather than
catch things that did bad things.

Unchecked user space accesses are a problem, but that's not a reason to
add invalid checks that then people have to work around with silly flags
(in this case, that 'kernel_uaccess_faults_ok' flag, which is just an
odd way to say "this commit was wrong" and was sprinked into random
places to hide the wrongness).

The real fix to unchecked user space accesses is to get rid of the
special "let's not check __get_user() and __put_user() at all" logic.
Make __{get|put}_user() be just aliases to the regular {get|put}_user()
functions, and make it impossible to access user space without having
the proper checks in places.

The raison d'être of the special double-underscore versions used to be
that the range check was expensive, and if you did multiple user
accesses, you'd do the range check up front (like the signal frame
handling code, for example).  But SMAP (on x86) and PAN (on ARM) have
made that optimization pointless, because the _real_ expense is the "set
CPU flag to allow user space access".

Do let's not break the valid cases to catch invalid cases that shouldn't
even exist.

"Resource Control" is a very broad term for this CPU feature, and a term
that is also associated with containers, cgroups etc. This can easily
cause confusion.

Make the user prompt more specific. Match the config symbol name.

 [ bp: In the future, the corresponding ARM arch-specific code will be
   under ARM_CPU_RESCTRL and the arch-agnostic bits will be carved out
   under the CPU_RESCTRL umbrella symbol. ]

A UMH process which is created by the fork_usermode_blob() such as
bpfilter needs to release members of the umh_info when process is
terminated.
But the do_exit() does not release members of the umh_info. hence module
which uses UMH needs own code to detect whether UMH process is
terminated or not.
But this implementation needs extra code for checking the status of
UMH process. it eventually makes the code more complex.

The new PF_UMH flag is added and it is used to identify UMH processes.
The exit_umh() does not release members of the umh_info.
Hence umh_info-&gt;cleanup callback should release both members of the
umh_info and the private data.

CONFIG_RESCTRL is too generic. The final goal is to have a generic
option called like this which is selected by the arch-specific ones
CONFIG_X86_RESCTRL and CONFIG_ARM64_RESCTRL. The generic one will
cover the resctrl filesystem and other generic and shared bits of

Pull scheduler updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "The main changes in this cycle were:

   - Introduce "Energy Aware Scheduling" - by Quentin Perret.

     This is a coherent topology description of CPUs in cooperation with
     the PM subsystem, with the goal to schedule more energy-efficiently
     on asymetric SMP platform - such as waking up tasks to the more
     energy-efficient CPUs first, as long as the system isn't
     oversubscribed.

     For details of the design, see:

        https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20180724122521.22109-1-quentin.perret@arm.com/

Pull scheduler updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "The main changes in this cycle were:

   - Introduce "Energy Aware Scheduling" - by Quentin Perret.

     This is a coherent topology description of CPUs in cooperation with
     the PM subsystem, with the goal to schedule more energy-efficiently
     on asymetric SMP platform - such as waking up tasks to the more
     energy-efficient CPUs first, as long as the system isn't
     oversubscribed.

     For details of the design, see:

        https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20180724122521.22109-1-quentin.perret@arm.com/

   - Misc cleanups and smaller enhancements"

Pull x86 cache control updates from Borislav Petkov:

 - The generalization of the RDT code to accommodate the addition of
   AMD's very similar implementation of the cache monitoring feature.

   This entails a subsystem move into a separate and generic
   arch/x86/kernel/cpu/resctrl/ directory along with adding
   vendor-specific initialization and feature detection helpers.

   Ontop of that is the unification of user-visible strings, both in the
   resctrl filesystem error handling and Kconfig.

   Provided by Babu Moger and Sherry Hurwitz.

 - Code simplifications and error handling improvements by Reinette
   Chatre.
