Pull x86 shadow stack support from Dave Hansen:
 "This is the long awaited x86 shadow stack support, part of Intel's
  Control-flow Enforcement Technology (CET).

  CET consists of two related security features: shadow stacks and
  indirect branch tracking. This series implements just the shadow stack
  part of this feature, and just for userspace.

  The main use case for shadow stack is providing protection against
  return oriented programming attacks. It works by maintaining a
  secondary (shadow) stack using a special memory type that has
  protections against modification. When executing a CALL instruction,
  the processor pushes the return address to both the normal stack and
  to the special permission shadow stack. Upon RET, the processor pops
  the shadow stack copy and compares it to the normal stack copy.

  For more information, refer to the links below for the earlier
  versions of this patch set"

xip_cpu_idle, xip_irqpending, xip_currtime and xip_elapsed_since.
Append .xiptext to the vectors when separate vectors are configured
because otherwise they are appended to the data and data may not even be

<title>xtensa: mm: convert to GENERIC_IOREMAP</title>

<content type='text'>
By taking GENERIC_IOREMAP method, the generic generic_ioremap_prot(),
generic_iounmap(), and their generic wrapper ioremap_prot(), ioremap() and
iounmap() are all visible and available to arch.  Arch needs to provide
wrapper functions to override the generic versions if there's arch
specific handling in its ioremap_prot(), ioremap() or iounmap().  This
change will simplify implementation by removing duplicated code with
generic_ioremap_prot() and generic_iounmap(), and has the equivalent
functioality as before.

Here, add wrapper functions ioremap_prot(), ioremap() and iounmap() for
xtensa's special operation when ioremap() and iounmap().

<title>mm: Rename arch pte_mkwrite()'s to pte_mkwrite_novma()</title>

<id>2f0584f3f4bd60bcc8735172981fb0bff86e74e0</id>
<content type='text'>
The x86 Shadow stack feature includes a new type of memory called shadow
stack. This shadow stack memory has some unusual properties, which requires
some core mm changes to function properly.

One of these unusual properties is that shadow stack memory is writable,
but only in limited ways. These limits are applied via a specific PTE
bit combination. Nevertheless, the memory is writable, and core mm code
will need to apply the writable permissions in the typical paths that
call pte_mkwrite(). The goal is to make pte_mkwrite() take a VMA, so
that the x86 implementation of it can know whether to create regular
writable or shadow stack mappings.

But there are a couple of challenges to this. Modifying the signatures of
each arch pte_mkwrite() implementation would be error prone because some
are generated with macros and would need to be re-implemented. Also, some
pte_mkwrite() callers operate on kernel memory without a VMA.

So this can be done in a three step process. First pte_mkwrite() can be
renamed to pte_mkwrite_novma() in each arch, with a generic pte_mkwrite()
added that just calls pte_mkwrite_novma(). Next callers without a VMA can
be moved to pte_mkwrite_novma(). And lastly, pte_mkwrite() and all callers
can be changed to take/pass a VMA.

Start the process by renaming pte_mkwrite() to pte_mkwrite_novma() and
adding the pte_mkwrite() wrapper in linux/pgtable.h. Apply the same
pattern for pmd_mkwrite(). Since not all archs have a pmd_mkwrite_novma(),
create a new arch config HAS_HUGE_PAGE that can be used to tell if
pmd_mkwrite() should be defined. Otherwise in the !HAS_HUGE_PAGE cases the
compiler would not be able to find pmd_mkwrite_novma().

No functional change.

pte_mkwrite() callers operate on kernel memory without a VMA.

So this can be done in a three step process. First pte_mkwrite() can be
renamed to pte_mkwrite_novma() in each arch, with a generic pte_mkwrite()
added that just calls pte_mkwrite_novma(). Next callers without a VMA can
be moved to pte_mkwrite_novma(). And lastly, pte_mkwrite() and all callers
can be changed to take/pass a VMA.

Start the process by renaming pte_mkwrite() to pte_mkwrite_novma() and
adding the pte_mkwrite() wrapper in linux/pgtable.h. Apply the same
pattern for pmd_mkwrite(). Since not all archs have a pmd_mkwrite_novma(),
create a new arch config HAS_HUGE_PAGE that can be used to tell if
pmd_mkwrite() should be defined. Otherwise in the !HAS_HUGE_PAGE cases the
compiler would not be able to find pmd_mkwrite_novma().

No functional change.

Pull locking updates from Ingo Molnar:

 - Introduce cmpxchg128() -- aka. the demise of cmpxchg_double()

   The cmpxchg128() family of functions is basically &amp; functionally the
   same as cmpxchg_double(), but with a saner interface.

   Instead of a 6-parameter horror that forced u128 - u64/u64-halves
   layout details on the interface and exposed users to complexity,
   fragility &amp; bugs, use a natural 3-parameter interface with u128
   types.

 - Restructure the generated atomic headers, and add kerneldoc comments
   for all of the generic atomic{,64,_long}_t operations.

   The generated definitions are much cleaner now, and come with
   documentation.

 - Implement lock_set_cmp_fn() on lockdep, for defining an ordering when
   taking multiple locks of the same type.

   This gets rid of one use of lockdep_set_novalidate_class() in the
   bcache code.

 - Fix raw_cpu_generic_try_cmpxchg() bug due to an unintended variable
   shadowing generating garbage code on Clang on certain ARM builds.
