Pull x86 fixes from Borislav Petkov:

 - Prevent a infinite loop in the MCE recovery on return to user space,
   which was caused by a second MCE queueing work for the same page and
   thereby creating a circular work list.

 - Make kern_addr_valid() handle existing PMD entries, which are marked
   not present in the higher level page table, correctly instead of
   blindly dereferencing them.

 - Pass a valid address to sanitize_phys(). This was caused by the
   mixture of inclusive and exclusive ranges. memtype_reserve() expect
   'end' being exclusive, but sanitize_phys() wants it inclusive. This
   worked so far, but with end being the end of the physical address
   space the fail is exposed.

 - Increase the maximum supported GPIO numbers for 64bit. Newer SoCs
   exceed the previous maximum.

Pull io_uring iov_iter retry fixes from Jens Axboe:
 "This adds a helper to save/restore iov_iter state, and modifies
  io_uring to use it.

  After that is done, we can now kill the iter-&gt;truncated addition that
  we added for this release. The io_uring change is being overly
  cautious with the save/restore/advance, but better safe than sorry and
  we can always improve that and reduce the overhead if it proves to be
  of concern. The only case to be worried about in this regard is huge
  IO, where iteration can take a while to iterate segments.

  I spent some time writing test cases, and expanded the coverage quite
  a bit from the last posting of this. liburing carries this regression
  test case now:

      https://git.kernel.dk/cgit/liburing/tree/test/file-verify.c

  which exercises all of this. It now also supports provided buffers,
  and explicitly tests for end-of-file/device truncation as well.

  On top of that, Pavel sanitized the IOPOLL retry path to follow the
  exact same pattern as normal IO"

<title>memblock: introduce saner 'memblock_free_ptr()' interface</title>

<id>77e02cf57b6cff9919949defb7fd9b8ac16399a2</id>
<content type='text'>
The boot-time allocation interface for memblock is a mess, with
'memblock_alloc()' returning a virtual pointer, but then you are
supposed to free it with 'memblock_free()' that takes a _physical_
address.

Not only is that all kinds of strange and illogical, but it actually
causes bugs, when people then use it like a normal allocation function,
and it fails spectacularly on a NULL pointer:

   https://lore.kernel.org/all/20210912140820.GD25450@xsang-OptiPlex-9020/

or just random memory corruption if the debug checks don't catch it:

   https://lore.kernel.org/all/61ab2d0c-3313-aaab-514c-e15b7aa054a0@suse.cz/

I really don't want to apply patches that treat the symptoms, when the
fundamental cause is this horribly confusing interface.

I started out looking at just automating a sane replacement sequence,
but because of this mix or virtual and physical addresses, and because
people have used the "__pa()" macro that can take either a regular
kernel pointer, or just the raw "unsigned long" address, it's all quite
messy.

So this just introduces a new saner interface for freeing a virtual
address that was allocated using 'memblock_alloc()', and that was kept
as a regular kernel pointer.  And then it converts a couple of users
that are obvious and easy to test, including the 'xbc_nodes' case in
lib/bootconfig.c that caused problems.

In an ideal world, when someone is passed an iov_iter and returns X bytes,
then X bytes would have been consumed/advanced from the iov_iter. But we
have use cases that always consume the entire iterator, a few examples
of that are iomap and bdev O_DIRECT. This means we cannot rely on the
state of the iov_iter once we've called -&gt;read_iter() or -&gt;write_iter().

This would be easier if we didn't always have to deal with truncate of
the iov_iter, as rewinding would be trivial without that. We recently
added a commit to track the truncate state, but that grew the iov_iter
by 8 bytes and wasn't the best solution.

Implement a helper to save enough of the iov_iter state to sanely restore
it after we've called the read/write iterator helpers. This currently
only works for IOVEC/BVEC/KVEC as that's all we need, support for other
iterator types are left as an exercise for the reader.

2) Fix BPF cgroup v2 program bypass upon net_cls/prio activation, from Daniel Borkmann.

3) Fix kvcalloc() BTF line info splat on oversized allocation attempts, from Bixuan Cui.

4) Fix BPF selftest build of task_pt_regs test for arm64/s390, from Jean-Philippe Brucker.

5) Fix BPF's disasm.{c,h} to dual-license so that it is aligned with bpftool given the former
   is a build dependency for the latter, from Daniel Borkmann with ACKs from contributors.

<title>x86/mce: Avoid infinite loop for copy from user recovery</title>

There are two cases for machine check recovery:

1) The machine check was triggered by ring3 (application) code.
   This is the simpler case. The machine check handler simply queues
   work to be executed on return to user. That code unmaps the page
   from all users and arranges to send a SIGBUS to the task that
   triggered the poison.

2) The machine check was triggered in kernel code that is covered by
   an exception table entry. In this case the machine check handler
   still queues a work entry to unmap the page, etc. but this will
   not be called right away because the #MC handler returns to the
   fix up code address in the exception table entry.

Problems occur if the kernel triggers another machine check before the
return to user processes the first queued work item.

Specifically, the work is queued using the -&gt;mce_kill_me callback
structure in the task struct for the current thread. Attempting to queue
a second work item using this same callback results in a loop in the
linked list of work functions to call. So when the kernel does return to
user, it enters an infinite loop processing the same entry for ever.

There are some legitimate scenarios where the kernel may take a second
machine check before returning to the user.

1) Some code (e.g. futex) first tries a get_user() with page faults
   disabled. If this fails, the code retries with page faults enabled
   expecting that this will resolve the page fault.

2) Copy from user code retries a copy in byte-at-time mode to check
   whether any additional bytes can be copied.

On the other side of the fence are some bad drivers that do not check
the return value from individual get_user() calls and may access
multiple user addresses without noticing that some/all calls have
failed.

Fix by adding a counter (current-&gt;mce_count) to keep track of repeated
machine checks before task_work() is called. First machine check saves
the address information and calls task_work_add(). Subsequent machine
checks before that task_work call back is executed check that the address
is in the same page as the first machine check (since the callback will
offline exactly one page).

Expected worst case is four machine checks before moving on (e.g. one
user access with page faults disabled, then a repeat to the same address
with page faults enabled ... repeat in copy tail bytes). Just in case
there is some code that loops forever enforce a limit of 10.
