<title>asm-generic: Conditionally enable do_softirq_own_stack() via Kconfig.</title>

<content type='text'>
Remove the CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT symbol from the ifdef around
do_softirq_own_stack() and move it to Kconfig instead.

Enable softirq stacks based on SOFTIRQ_ON_OWN_STACK which depends on
HAVE_SOFTIRQ_ON_OWN_STACK and its default value is set to !PREEMPT_RT.
This ensures that softirq stacks are not used on PREEMPT_RT and avoids
a 'select' statement on an option which has a 'depends' statement.

Now that the irq_data_update_affinity helper exists, enforce its use
by returning a a const cpumask from irq_data_get_affinity_mask.

Since the previous commit already updated places that needed to call
irq_data_update_affinity, this commit updates the remaining code that
either did not modify the cpumask or immediately passed the modified
mask to irq_set_affinity.

PREEMPT_RT preempts softirqs and the current implementation avoids
do_softirq_own_stack() and only uses __do_softirq().

Disable the unused softirqs stacks on PREEMPT_RT to save some memory and
ensure that do_softirq_own_stack() is not used bwcause it is not expected.

Pull kthread updates from Eric Biederman:
 "This updates init and user mode helper tasks to be ordinary user mode
  tasks.

  Commit 40966e316f86 ("kthread: Ensure struct kthread is present for
  all kthreads") caused init and the user mode helper threads that call
  kernel_execve to have struct kthread allocated for them. This struct
  kthread going away during execve in turned made a use after free of
  struct kthread possible.

  Here, commit 343f4c49f243 ("kthread: Don't allocate kthread_struct for
  init and umh") is enough to fix the use after free and is simple
  enough to be backportable.

  The rest of the changes pass struct kernel_clone_args to clean things
  up and cause the code to make sense.

  In making init and the user mode helpers tasks purely user mode tasks
  I ran into two complications. The function task_tick_numa was
  detecting tasks without an mm by testing for the presence of
  PF_KTHREAD. The initramfs code in populate_initrd_image was using
  flush_delayed_fput to ensuere the closing of all it's file descriptors
  was complete, and flush_delayed_fput does not work in a userspace
  thread.

  I have looked and looked and more complications and in my code review
  I have not found any, and neither has anyone else with the code
  sitting in linux-next"

that invokes chained power-off handlers. It also invokes legacy

Add fn and fn_arg members into struct kernel_clone_args and test for
them in copy_thread (instead of testing for PF_KTHREAD | PF_IO_WORKER).
This allows any task that wants to be a user space task that only runs
in kernel mode to use this functionality.

The code on x86 is an exception and still retains a PF_KTHREAD test
because x86 unlikely everything else handles kthreads slightly
differently than user space tasks that start with a function.

The functions that created tasks that start with a function
have been updated to set ".fn" and ".fn_arg" instead of
".stack" and ".stack_size".  These functions are fork_idle(),
create_io_thread(), kernel_thread(), and user_mode_thread().

With io_uring we have started supporting tasks that are for most
purposes user space tasks that exclusively run code in kernel mode.

The kernel task that exec's init and tasks that exec user mode
helpers are also user mode tasks that just run kernel code
until they call kernel execve.

Pass kernel_clone_args into copy_thread so these oddball
tasks can be supported more cleanly and easily.

v2: Fix spelling of kenrel_clone_args on h8300

Patch series "Convert vmcore to use an iov_iter", v5.

For some reason several people have been sending bad patches to fix
compiler warnings in vmcore recently.  Here's how it should be done. 
Compile-tested only on x86.  As noted in the first patch, s390 should take
this conversion a bit further, but I'm not inclined to do that work
myself.


This patch (of 3):

Instead of passing in a 'buf' and 'userbuf' argument, pass in an iov_iter.
s390 needs more work to pass the iov_iter down further, or refactor, but
I'd be more comfortable if someone who can test on s390 did that work.

It's more convenient to convert the whole of read_from_oldmem() to take an
iov_iter at the same time, so rename it to read_from_oldmem_iter() and add
a temporary read_from_oldmem() wrapper that creates an iov_iter.
