Replace the existing /* fall through */ comments and its variants with
the new pseudo-keyword macro fallthrough[1]. Also, remove unnecessary
fall-through markings when it is the case.

Patch series "clean up address limit helpers", v2.

In preparation for eventually phasing out direct use of set_fs(), this
series removes the segment_eq() arch helper that is only used to implement
or duplicate the uaccess_kernel() API, and then adds descriptive helpers
to force the kernel address limit.

This patch (of 6):

Use the uaccess_kernel helper instead of duplicating it.

Pull regset conversion fix from Al Viro:
 "Fix a regression from an unnoticed bisect hazard in the regset series.

  A bunch of old (aout, originally) primitives used by coredumps became
  dead code after fdpic conversion to regsets. Removal of that dead code
  had been the first commit in the followups to regset series;
  unfortunately, it happened to hide the bisect hazard on sh (extern for
  fpregs_get() had not been updated in the main series when it should
  have been; followup simply made fpregs_get() static). And without that
  followup commit this bisect hazard became breakage in the mainline"

Patch series "mm: cleanup usage of &lt;asm/pgalloc.h&gt;"

Most architectures have very similar versions of pXd_alloc_one() and
pXd_free_one() for intermediate levels of page table.  These patches add
generic versions of these functions in &lt;asm-generic/pgalloc.h&gt; and enable
use of the generic functions where appropriate.

In addition, functions declared and defined in &lt;asm/pgalloc.h&gt; headers are
used mostly by core mm and early mm initialization in arch and there is no
actual reason to have the &lt;asm/pgalloc.h&gt; included all over the place.
The first patch in this series removes unneeded includes of
&lt;asm/pgalloc.h&gt;

In the end it didn't work out as neatly as I hoped and moving
pXd_alloc_track() definitions to &lt;asm-generic/pgalloc.h&gt; would require
unnecessary changes to arches that have custom page table allocations, so
I've decided to move lib/ioremap.c to mm/ and make pgalloc-track.h local
to mm/.

This patch (of 8):

In most cases &lt;asm/pgalloc.h&gt; header is required only for allocations of
page table memory.  Most of the .c files that include that header do not
use symbols declared in &lt;asm/pgalloc.h&gt; and do not require that header.

As for the other header files that used to include &lt;asm/pgalloc.h&gt;, it is
possible to move that include into the .c file that actually uses symbols
from &lt;asm/pgalloc.h&gt; and drop the include from the header file.

The process was somewhat automated using

	sed -i -E '/[&lt;"]asm\/pgalloc\.h/d' \
                $(grep -L -w -f /tmp/xx \
                        $(git grep -E -l '[&lt;"]asm/pgalloc\.h'))

where /tmp/xx contains all the symbols defined in
arch/*/include/asm/pgalloc.h.

Pull ptrace regset updates from Al Viro:
 "Internal regset API changes:

   - regularize copy_regset_{to,from}_user() callers

   - switch to saner calling conventions for -&gt;get()

   - kill user_regset_copyout()

  The -&gt;put() side of things will have to wait for the next cycle,

  The balance is about -1KLoC and replacements for -&gt;get() instances are

Pull fork cleanups from Christian Brauner:
 "This is cleanup series from when we reworked a chunk of the process
  creation paths in the kernel and switched to struct
  {kernel_}clone_args.

  High-level this does two main things:

   - Remove the double export of both do_fork() and _do_fork() where
     do_fork() used the incosistent legacy clone calling convention.

     Now we only export _do_fork() which is based on struct
     kernel_clone_args.

   - Remove the copy_thread_tls()/copy_thread() split making the
     architecture specific HAVE_COYP_THREAD_TLS config option obsolete.

  This switches all remaining architectures to select
  HAVE_COPY_THREAD_TLS and thus to the copy_thread_tls() calling
  convention. The current split makes the process creation codepaths
  more convoluted than they need to be. Each architecture has their own
  copy_thread() function unless it selects HAVE_COPY_THREAD_TLS then it
  has a copy_thread_tls() function.

  The split is not needed anymore nowadays, all architectures support
  CLONE_SETTLS but quite a few of them never bothered to select
  HAVE_COPY_THREAD_TLS and instead simply continued to use copy_thread()
  and use the old calling convention. Removing this split cleans up the
  process creation codepaths and paves the way for implementing clone3()
  on such architectures since it requires the copy_thread_tls() calling
  convention.

  After having made each architectures support copy_thread_tls() this
  series simply renames that function back to copy_thread(). It also
  switches all architectures that call do_fork() directly over to
  _do_fork() and the struct kernel_clone_args calling convention. This
  is a corollary of switching the architectures that did not yet support
  it over to copy_thread_tls() since do_fork() is conditional on not
  supporting copy_thread_tls() (Mostly because it lacks a separate
  argument for tls which is trivial to fix but there's no need for this
  function to exist.).

  The do_fork() removal is in itself already useful as it allows to to
  remove the export of both do_fork() and _do_fork() we currently have
  in favor of only _do_fork(). This has already been discussed back when
  we added clone3(). The legacy clone() calling convention is - as is
  probably well-known - somewhat odd:

    #
    # ABI hall of shame
    #
    config CLONE_BACKWARDS
    config CLONE_BACKWARDS2
    config CLONE_BACKWARDS3

  that is aggravated by the fact that some architectures such as sparc
  follow the CLONE_BACKWARDSx calling convention but don't really select
  the corresponding config option since they call do_fork() directly.

  So do_fork() enforces a somewhat arbitrary calling convention in the
  first place that doesn't really help the individual architectures that
  deviate from it. They can thus simply be switched to _do_fork()
  enforcing a single calling convention. (I really hope that any new
  architectures will __not__ try to implement their own calling
  conventions...)

  Most architectures already have made a similar switch (m68k comes to
  mind).

  Overall this removes more code than it adds even with a good portion
  of added comments. It simplifies a chunk of arch specific assembly
  either by moving the code into C or by simply rewriting the assembly.

  Architectures that have been touched in non-trivial ways have all been
  actually boot and stress tested: sparc and ia64 have been tested with
  Debian 9 images. They are the two architectures which have been
  touched the most. All non-trivial changes to architectures have seen
  acks from the relevant maintainers. nios2 with a custom built
  buildroot image. h8300 I couldn't get something bootable to test on
  but the changes have been fairly automatic and I'm sure we'll hear
  people yell if I broke something there.

  All other architectures that have been touched in trivial ways have
  been compile tested for each single patch of the series via git rebase
  -x "make ..." v5.8-rc2. arm{64} and x86{_64} have been boot tested
  even though they have just been trivially touched (removal of the
  HAVE_COPY_THREAD_TLS macro from their Kconfig) because well they are
  basically "core architectures" and since it is trivial to get your
  hands on a useable image"
