<title>compiler: remove __no_sanitize_address_or_inline again</title>

The __no_sanitize_address_or_inline and __no_kasan_or_inline defines
are almost identical. The only difference is that __no_kasan_or_inline
does not have the 'notrace' attribute.

To be able to replace __no_sanitize_address_or_inline with the older
definition, add 'notrace' to __no_kasan_or_inline and change to two
users of __no_sanitize_address_or_inline in the s390 code.

The 'notrace' option is necessary for e.g. the __load_psw_mask function
in arch/s390/include/asm/processor.h. Without the option it is possible
to trace __load_psw_mask which leads to kernel stack overflow.

Increase kasan instrumented kernel stack size from 32k to 64k. Other
architectures seems to get away with just doubling kernel stack size under
kasan, but on s390 this appears to be not enough due to bigger frame size.
The particular pain point is kasan inlined checks (CONFIG_KASAN_INLINE
vs CONFIG_KASAN_OUTLINE). With inlined checks one particular case hitting
stack overflow is fs sync on xfs filesystem:

<title>s390/mm: fix mis-accounting of pgtable_bytes</title>

In case a fork or a clone system fails in copy_process and the error
handling does the mmput() at the bad_fork_cleanup_mm label, the
following warning messages will appear on the console:

  BUG: non-zero pgtables_bytes on freeing mm: 16384

The reason for that is the tricks we play with mm_inc_nr_puds() and
mm_inc_nr_pmds() in init_new_context().

A normal 64-bit process has 3 levels of page table, the p4d level and
the pud level are folded. On process termination the free_pud_range()
function in mm/memory.c will subtract 16KB from pgtable_bytes with a
mm_dec_nr_puds() call, but there actually is not really a pud table.

One issue with this is the fact that pgtable_bytes is usually off
by a few kilobytes, but the more severe problem is that for a failed
fork or clone the free_pgtables() function is not called. In this case
there is no mm_dec_nr_puds() or mm_dec_nr_pmds() that go together with
the mm_inc_nr_puds() and mm_inc_nr_pmds in init_new_context().
The pgtable_bytes will be off by 16384 or 32768 bytes and we get the
BUG message. The message itself is purely cosmetic, but annoying.

To fix this override the mm_pmd_folded, mm_pud_folded and mm_p4d_folded
function to check for the true size of the address space.

Prefer _THIS_IP_ defined in linux/kernel.h.

Most definitions of current_text_addr were the same as _THIS_IP_, but
a few archs had inline assembly instead.

This patch removes the final call site of current_text_addr, making all
of the definitions dead code.

Pull KVM updates from Radim Krčmář:
 "ARM:
   - Improved guest IPA space support (32 to 52 bits)

   - RAS event delivery for 32bit

   - PMU fixes

   - Guest entry hardening

   - Various cleanups

   - Port of dirty_log_test selftest

  PPC:
   - Nested HV KVM support for radix guests on POWER9. The performance
     is much better than with PR KVM. Migration and arbitrary level of
     nesting is supported.

   - Disable nested HV-KVM on early POWER9 chips that need a particular
     hardware bug workaround

   - One VM per core mode to prevent potential data leaks

   - PCI pass-through optimization

   - merge ppc-kvm topic branch and kvm-ppc-fixes to get a better base

  s390:
   - Initial version of AP crypto virtualization via vfio-mdev

   - Improvement for vfio-ap

   - Set the host program identifier

   - Optimize page table locking

  x86:
   - Enable nested virtualization by default

   - Implement Hyper-V IPI hypercalls

   - Improve #PF and #DB handling

   - Allow guests to use Enlightened VMCS

   - Add migration selftests for VMCS and Enlightened VMCS

   - Allow coalesced PIO accesses

   - Add an option to perform nested VMCS host state consistency check
     through hardware

   - Automatic tuning of lapic_timer_advance_ns

   - Many fixes, minor improvements, and cleanups"

<title>s390/pkey: Introduce new API for transforming key blobs</title>

<id>fb1136d6580c93af3ec33bf7a5621d980a711f24</id>
<content type='text'>
Introduce a new ioctl API and in-kernel API to transform
a variable length key blob of any supported type into a
protected key.

Transforming a secure key blob uses the already existing
function pkey_sec2protk().
Transforming a protected key blob also verifies if the
protected key is still valid. If not, -ENODEV is returned.

Both APIs are described in detail in the header files
arch/s390/include/asm/pkey.h and arch/s390/include/uapi/asm/pkey.h.
