This reverts commits 5c9d2d5c269c, c7da82b894e9, and e7fe7b5cae90.

We'll probably need to revisit this, but basically we should not
complicate the get_user_pages_fast() case, and checking the actual page
table protection key bits will require more care anyway, since the
protection keys depend on the exact state of the VM in question.

Particularly when doing a "remote" page lookup (ie in somebody elses VM,
not your own), you need to be much more careful than this was.  Dave
Hansen says:

 "So, the underlying bug here is that we now a get_user_pages_remote()
  and then go ahead and do the p*_access_permitted() checks against the
  current PKRU. This was introduced recently with the addition of the
  new p??_access_permitted() calls.

  We have checks in the VMA path for the "remote" gups and we avoid
  consulting PKRU for them. This got missed in the pkeys selftests
  because I did a ptrace read, but not a *write*. I also didn't
  explicitly test it against something where a COW needed to be done"

It's also not entirely clear that it makes sense to check the protection
key bits at this level at all.  But one possible eventual solution is to
make the get_user_pages_fast() case just abort if it sees protection key
bits set, which makes us fall back to the regular get_user_pages() case,
which then has a vma and can do the check there if we want to.

We'll see.

Somewhat related to this all: what we _do_ want to do some day is to
check the PAGE_USER bit - it should obviously always be set for user
pages, but it would be a good check to have back.  Because we have no
generic way to test for it, we lost it as part of moving over from the
architecture-specific x86 GUP implementation to the generic one in
commit e585513b76f7 ("x86/mm/gup: Switch GUP to the generic
get_user_page_fast() implementation").

<title>s390/bpf: correct broken uapi for BPF_PROG_TYPE_PERF_EVENT program type</title>

<content type='text'>
To mitigate and correct the broken uapi for the BPF_PROG_TYPE_PERF_EVENT
program type, introduce a user_pt_regs structure (similar to arm64) that
exports parts from the beginnig of the pt_regs structure.

The export must start with the beginning of the pt_regs structure because
to correctly calculate BPF prologues for perf (regs_query_register_offset()).

For BPF_PROG_TYPE_PERF_EVENT program types, the BPF program is then passed
a user_pt_regs structure.

Note: Depending on future changes to the s390 pt_regs structure, consider
the user_pt_regs structure to be stable for a particular kernel version
only. (Of course, s390 tries to ensure keep it stable as much as possible.)

<content type='text'>
The switch_to() macro has an optimization to avoid saving and
restoring register contents that aren't needed for kernel threads.

There is however the possibility that a kernel thread execve's a user
space program. In such a case the execve'd process can partially see
the contents of the previous process, which shouldn't be allowed.

To avoid this, simply always save and restore register contents on
context switch.

The 'access_permitted' helper is used in the gup-fast path and goes
beyond the simple _PAGE_RW check to also:

 - validate that the mapping is writable from a protection keys
   standpoint

 - validate that the pte has _PAGE_USER set since all fault paths where
   pud_write is must be referencing user-memory.

<title>mm: switch to 'define pmd_write' instead of __HAVE_ARCH_PMD_WRITE</title>

In response to compile breakage introduced by a series that added the
pud_write helper to x86, Stephen notes:

    did you consider using the other paradigm:

    In arch include files:
    #define pud_write       pud_write
    static inline int pud_write(pud_t pud)
     .....

    Then in include/asm-generic/pgtable.h:

    #ifndef pud_write
    tatic inline int pud_write(pud_t pud)
    {
            ....
    }
    #endif

    If you had, then the powerpc code would have worked ... ;-) and many
    of the other interfaces in include/asm-generic/pgtable.h are
    protected that way ...

Given that some architecture already define pmd_write() as a macro, it's
a net reduction to drop the definition of __HAVE_ARCH_PMD_WRITE.
