Pull powerpc fixes from Michael Ellerman:
 "An assortment of non-regression fixes that have accumulated since the
  start of the merge window.

   - A fix for a user triggerable oops on machines where transactional
     memory is disabled, eg. Power9 bare metal, Power8 with TM disabled
     on the command line, or all Power7 or earlier machines.

   - Three fixes for handling of PMU and power saving registers when
     running nested KVM on Power9.

   - Two fixes for bugs found while stress testing the XIVE interrupt
     controller code, also on Power9.

   - A fix to allow guests to boot under Qemu/KVM on Power9 using the
     the Hash MMU with &gt;= 1TB of memory.

   - Two fixes for bugs in the recent DMA cleanup, one of which could
     lead to checkstops.

   - And finally three fixes for the PAPR SCM nvdimm driver.

On systems like P9 powernv where we have no TM (or P8 booted with
ppc_tm=off), userspace can construct a signal context which still has
the MSR TS bits set. The kernel tries to restore this context which
results in the following crash:

The problem is the signal code assumes TM is enabled when
CONFIG_PPC_TRANSACTIONAL_MEM is enabled. This may not be the case as
with P9 powernv or if `ppc_tm=off` is used on P8.

This means any local user can crash the system.

Fix the problem by returning a bad stack frame to the user if they try
to set the MSR TS bits with sigreturn() on systems where TM is not
supported.

Found with sigfuz kernel selftest on P9.

This fixes CVE-2019-13648.

<title>powerpc/dma: Fix invalid DMA mmap behavior</title>

<content type='text'>
The refactor of powerpc DMA functions in commit 6666cc17d780
("powerpc/dma: remove dma_nommu_mmap_coherent") incorrectly
changes the way DMA mappings are handled on powerpc.
Since this change, all mapped pages are marked as cache-inhibited
through the default implementation of arch_dma_mmap_pgprot.
This differs from the previous behavior of only marking pages
in noncoherent mappings as cache-inhibited and has resulted in
sporadic system crashes in certain hardware configurations and
workloads (see Bugzilla).

This commit restores the previous correct behavior by providing
an implementation of arch_dma_mmap_pgprot that only marks
pages in noncoherent mappings as cache-inhibited. As this behavior
should be universal for all powerpc platforms a new file,
dma-generic.c, was created to store it.

Convert docs to ReST and add them to the arch-specific
book.

The conversion here was trivial, as almost every file there
was already using an elegant format close to ReST standard.

The changes were mostly to mark literal blocks and add a few
missing section title identifiers.

One note with regards to "--": on Sphinx, this can't be used
to identify a list, as it will format it badly. This can be
used, however, to identify a long hyphen - and "---" is an
even longer one.

At its new index.rst, let's add a :orphan: while this is not linked to
the main index.rst file, in order to avoid build warnings.

Pull pidfd and clone3 fixes from Christian Brauner:
 "This contains a bugfix for CLONE_PIDFD when used with the legacy clone
  syscall, two fixes to ensure that syscall numbering and clone3
  entrypoint implementations will stay consistent, and an update for the
  maintainers file:

   - The addition of clone3 broke CLONE_PIDFD for legacy clone on all
     architectures that use do_fork() directly instead of calling the
     clone syscall itself. (Fwiw, cleaning do_fork() up is on my todo.)

     The reason this happened was that during conversion of _do_fork()
     to use struct kernel_clone_args we missed that do_fork() is called
     directly by various architectures. This is fixed by making sure
     that the pidfd argument in struct kernel_clone_args is correctly
     initialized with the parent_tidptr argument passed down from
     do_fork(). Additionally, do_fork() missed a check to make
     CLONE_PIDFD and CLONE_PARENT_SETTID mutually exclusive just a
     clone() does. This is now fixed too.

   - When clone3() was introduced we skipped architectures that require
     special handling for fork-like syscalls. Their syscall tables did
     not contain any mention of clone3().

     To make sure that Arnd's work to make syscall numbers on all
     architectures identical (minus alpha) was not for naught we are
     placing a comment in all syscall tables that do not yet implement
     clone3(). The comment makes it clear that 435 is reserved for
     clone3 and should not be used.

   - Also, this contains a patch to make the clone3() syscall definition
     in asm-generic/unist.h conditional on __ARCH_WANT_SYS_CLONE3. This
     lets us catch new architectures that implicitly make use of clone3
     without setting __ARCH_WANT_SYS_CLONE3 which is a good indicator
     that they did not check whether it needs special treatment or not.

   - Finally, this contains a patch to add me as maintainer for pidfd
     stuff so people can start blaming me (more)"

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.

In commit 4a7b06c157a2 ("powerpc/eeh: Handle hugepages in ioremap
space") support for using hugepages in the vmalloc and ioremap areas was
enabled for radix. Unfortunately this broke EEH MMIO error checking.

Detection works by inserting a hook which checks the results of the
ioreadXX() set of functions.  When a read returns a 0xFFs response we
need to check for an error which we do by mapping the (virtual) MMIO
address back to a physical address, then mapping physical address to a
PCI device via an interval tree.

When translating virt -&gt; phys we currently assume the ioremap space is
only populated by PAGE_SIZE mappings. If a hugepage mapping is found we
emit a WARN_ON(), but otherwise handles the check as though a normal
page was found. In pathalogical cases such as copying a buffer
containing a lot of 0xFFs from BAR memory this can result in the system
not booting because it's too busy printing WARN_ON()s.

There's no real reason to assume huge pages can't be present and we're
prefectly capable of handling them, so do that.

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"
