Pull Kbuild updates from Masahiro Yamada:

 - Add new kconfig target 'make mod2noconfig', which will be useful to
   speed up the build and test iteration.

 - Raise the minimum supported version of LLVM to 11.0.0

 - Refactor certs/Makefile

 - Change the format of include/config/auto.conf to stop double-quoting
   string type CONFIG options.

 - Fix ARCH=sh builds in dash

 - Separate compression macros for general purposes (cmd_bzip2 etc.) and
   the ones for decompressors (cmd_bzip2_with_size etc.)

 - Misc Makefile cleanups

Pull signal/exit/ptrace updates from Eric Biederman:
 "This set of changes deletes some dead code, makes a lot of cleanups
  which hopefully make the code easier to follow, and fixes bugs found
  along the way.

  The end-game which I have not yet reached yet is for fatal signals
  that generate coredumps to be short-circuit deliverable from
  complete_signal, for force_siginfo_to_task not to require changing
  userspace configured signal delivery state, and for the ptrace stops
  to always happen in locations where we can guarantee on all
  architectures that the all of the registers are saved and available on
  the stack.

  Removal of profile_task_ext, profile_munmap, and profile_handoff_task
  are the big successes for dead code removal this round.

  A bunch of small bug fixes are included, as most of the issues
  reported were small enough that they would not affect bisection so I
  simply added the fixes and did not fold the fixes into the changes
  they were fixing.

  There was a bug that broke coredumps piped to systemd-coredump. I
  dropped the change that caused that bug and replaced it entirely with
  something much more restrained. Unfortunately that required some
  rebasing.

  Some successes after this set of changes: There are few enough calls
  to do_exit to audit in a reasonable amount of time. The lifetime of
  struct kthread now matches the lifetime of struct task, and the
  pointer to struct kthread is no longer stored in set_child_tid. The
  flag SIGNAL_GROUP_COREDUMP is removed. The field group_exit_task is
  removed. Issues where task-&gt;exit_code was examined with
  signal-&gt;group_exit_code should been examined were fixed.

  There are several loosely related changes included because I am
  cleaning up and if I don't include them they will probably get lost.

<content type='text'>
Since commit 4064b9827063 ("mm: allow VM_FAULT_RETRY for multiple
times") allowed VM_FAULT_RETRY for multiple times, the
FAULT_FLAG_ALLOW_RETRY bit of fault_flag will not be changed in the page
fault path, so the following check is no longer needed:

	flags &amp; FAULT_FLAG_ALLOW_RETRY

So just remove it.

<title>kbuild: do not quote string values in include/config/auto.conf</title>

<id>129ab0d2d9f38b9d43df35235fc66c6740d6928b</id>
<content type='text'>
The previous commit fixed up all shell scripts to not include
include/config/auto.conf.

Now that include/config/auto.conf is only included by Makefiles,
we can change it into a more Make-friendly form.

Previously, Kconfig output string values enclosed with double-quotes
(both in the .config and include/config/auto.conf):

    CONFIG_X="foo bar"

Unlike shell, Make handles double-quotes (and single-quotes as well)
verbatim. We must rip them off when used.

There are some patterns:

  [1] $(patsubst "%",%,$(CONFIG_X))
  [2] $(CONFIG_X:"%"=%)
  [3] $(subst ",,$(CONFIG_X))
  [4] $(shell echo $(CONFIG_X))

These are not only ugly, but also fragile.

[1] and [2] do not work if the value contains spaces, like
   CONFIG_X=" foo bar "

[3] does not work correctly if the value contains double-quotes like
   CONFIG_X="foo\"bar"

[4] seems to work better, but has a cost of forking a process.

Anyway, quoted strings were always PITA for our Makefiles.

This commit changes Kconfig to stop quoting in include/config/auto.conf.

These are the string type symbols referenced in Makefiles or scripts:

    ACPI_CUSTOM_DSDT_FILE
    ARC_BUILTIN_DTB_NAME
    ARC_TUNE_MCPU
    BUILTIN_DTB_SOURCE
    CC_IMPLICIT_FALLTHROUGH
    CC_VERSION_TEXT
    CFG80211_EXTRA_REGDB_KEYDIR

    UNUSED_KSYMS_WHITELIST
    XILINX_MICROBLAZE0_FAMILY
    XILINX_MICROBLAZE0_HW_VER
    XTENSA_VARIANT_NAME

I checked them one by one, and fixed up the code where necessary.

There are two big uses of do_exit.  The first is it's design use to be
the guts of the exit(2) system call.  The second use is to terminate
a task after something catastrophic has happened like a NULL pointer
in kernel code.

Add a function make_task_dead that is initialy exactly the same as
do_exit to cover the cases where do_exit is called to handle
catastrophic failure.  In time this can probably be reduced to just a
light wrapper around do_task_dead. For now keep it exactly the same so
that there will be no behavioral differences introducing this new
concept.

Replace all of the uses of do_exit that use it for catastraphic
task cleanup with make_task_dead to make it clear what the code
is doing.

As part of this rename rewind_stack_do_exit
rewind_stack_and_make_dead.

Many architectures do not include asm-generic/cacheflush.h, so turn
the includes on their head and add linux/cacheflush.h which includes
asm/cacheflush.h.

Move the flush_dcache_folio() declaration from asm-generic/cacheflush.h
to linux/cacheflush.h and change linux/highmem.h to include
linux/cacheflush.h instead of asm/cacheflush.h so that all necessary
places will see flush_dcache_folio().

More functions should have their default implementations moved in the
future, but those are for follow-on patches.  This fixes csky, sparc and
sparc64 which were missed in the commit which added flush_dcache_folio().

to linux/cacheflush.h and change linux/highmem.h to include
linux/cacheflush.h instead of asm/cacheflush.h so that all necessary
places will see flush_dcache_folio().

More functions should have their default implementations moved in the
future, but those are for follow-on patches.  This fixes csky, sparc and
sparc64 which were missed in the commit which added flush_dcache_folio().

Fixes: 08b0b0059bf1 ("mm: Add flush_dcache_folio()")

Pull scheduler updates from Thomas Gleixner:

 - Revert the printk format based wchan() symbol resolution as it can
   leak the raw value in case that the symbol is not resolvable.

 - Make wchan() more robust and work with all kind of unwinders by
   enforcing that the task stays blocked while unwinding is in progress.

 - Prevent sched_fork() from accessing an invalid sched_task_group

 - Improve asymmetric packing logic

 - Extend scheduler statistics to RT and DL scheduling classes and add
   statistics for bandwith burst to the SCHED_FAIR class.

 - Properly account SCHED_IDLE entities

 - Prevent a potential deadlock when initial priority is assigned to a
   newly created kthread. A recent change to plug a race between cpuset
   and __sched_setscheduler() introduced a new lock dependency which is
   now triggered. Break the lock dependency chain by moving the priority
   assignment to the thread function.

 - Fix the idle time reporting in /proc/uptime for NOHZ enabled systems.

 - Improve idle balancing in general and especially for NOHZ enabled
   systems.

 - Provide proper interfaces for live patching so it does not have to
   fiddle with scheduler internals.

 - Add cluster aware scheduling support.

 - A small set of tweaks for RT (irqwork, wait_task_inactive(), various
   scheduler options and delaying mmdrop)

 - The usual small tweaks and improvements all over the place

Pull memory folios from Matthew Wilcox:
 "Add memory folios, a new type to represent either order-0 pages or the
  head page of a compound page. This should be enough infrastructure to
  support filesystems converting from pages to folios.

  The point of all this churn is to allow filesystems and the page cache
  to manage memory in larger chunks than PAGE_SIZE. The original plan
  was to use compound pages like THP does, but I ran into problems with
  some functions expecting only a head page while others expect the
  precise page containing a particular byte.

  The folio type allows a function to declare that it's expecting only a
  head page. Almost incidentally, this allows us to remove various calls
  to VM_BUG_ON(PageTail(page)) and compound_head().

  This converts just parts of the core MM and the page cache. For 5.17,
  we intend to convert various filesystems (XFS and AFS are ready; other
  filesystems may make it) and also convert more of the MM and page
  cache to folios. For 5.18, multi-page folios should be ready.

  The multi-page folios offer some improvement to some workloads. The
  80% win is real, but appears to be an artificial benchmark (postgres
  startup, which isn't a serious workload). Real workloads (eg building
  the kernel, running postgres in a steady state, etc) seem to benefit
  between 0-10%. I haven't heard of any performance losses as a result
  of this series. Nobody has done any serious performance tuning; I
  imagine that tweaking the readahead algorithm could provide some more
  interesting wins. There are also other places where we could choose to
  create large folios and currently do not, such as writes that are
  larger than PAGE_SIZE.

  I'd like to thank all my reviewers who've offered review/ack tags:
  Christoph Hellwig, David Howells, Jan Kara, Jeff Layton, Johannes
  Weiner, Kirill A. Shutemov, Michal Hocko, Mike Rapoport, Vlastimil
  Babka, William Kucharski, Yu Zhao and Zi Yan.

  I'd also like to thank those who gave feedback I incorporated but
  haven't offered up review tags for this part of the series: Nick
  Piggin, Mel Gorman, Ming Lei, Darrick Wong, Ted Ts'o, John Hubbard,
  Hugh Dickins, and probably a few others who I forget"
