  mostly)"

<title>Remove 'type' argument from access_ok() function</title>

<id>96d4f267e40f9509e8a66e2b39e8b95655617693</id>
<content type='text'>
Nobody has actually used the type (VERIFY_READ vs VERIFY_WRITE) argument
of the user address range verification function since we got rid of the
old racy i386-only code to walk page tables by hand.

It existed because the original 80386 would not honor the write protect
bit when in kernel mode, so you had to do COW by hand before doing any
user access.  But we haven't supported that in a long time, and these
days the 'type' argument is a purely historical artifact.

A discussion about extending 'user_access_begin()' to do the range
checking resulted this patch, because there is no way we're going to
move the old VERIFY_xyz interface to that model.  And it's best done at
the end of the merge window when I've done most of my merges, so let's
just get this done once and for all.

This patch was mostly done with a sed-script, with manual fix-ups for
the cases that weren't of the trivial 'access_ok(VERIFY_xyz' form.

There were a couple of notable cases:

 - csky still had the old "verify_area()" name as an alias.

 - the iter_iov code had magical hardcoded knowledge of the actual
   values of VERIFY_{READ,WRITE} (not that they mattered, since nothing
   really used it)

 - microblaze used the type argument for a debug printout

but other than those oddities this should be a total no-op patch.

I tried to fix up all architectures, did fairly extensive grepping for
access_ok() uses, and the changes are trivial, but I may have missed
something.  Any missed conversion should be trivially fixable, though.

Pull integrity updates from James Morris:
 "In Linux 4.19, a new LSM hook named security_kernel_load_data was
  upstreamed, allowing LSMs and IMA to prevent the kexec_load syscall.
  Different signature verification methods exist for verifying the

  loading unsigned kernel images via the kexec_load syscall,
  independently of the IMA policy rules, based on the runtime "secure
  boot" flag. An initial IMA kselftest is included.

  In addition, this pull request defines a new, separate keyring named
  ".platform" for storing the preboot/firmware keys needed for verifying
  the kexec'ed kernel image's signature and includes the associated IMA
  kexec usage of the ".platform" keyring.

We need to check the return value of match_token() for Opt_err before
doing anything with it.

[ Not only did the old "-1" value for Opt_err cause problems for the
  __test_and_set_bit(), as fixed in commit 94c13f66e13c ("security:
  don't use a negative Opt_err token index"), but accessing
  "args[0].from" is invalid for the Opt_err case, as pointed out by Eric
  later.  - Linus ]

Pull libnvdimm updates from Dan Williams:
 "The vast bulk of this update is the new support for the security
  capabilities of some nvdimms.

  The userspace tooling for this capability is still a work in progress,
  but the changes survive the existing libnvdimm unit tests. The changes
  also pass manual checkout on hardware and the new nfit_test emulation
  of the security capability.

  The touches of the security/keys/ files have received the necessary
  acks from Mimi and David. Those changes were necessary to allow for a
  new generic encrypted-key type, and allow the nvdimm sub-system to
  lookup key material referenced by the libnvdimm-sysfs interface.

  Summary:

   - Add support for the security features of nvdimm devices that
     implement a security model similar to ATA hard drive security. The
     security model supports locking access to the media at
     device-power-loss, to be unlocked with a passphrase, and
     secure-erase (crypto-scramble).

     Unlike the ATA security case where the kernel expects device
     security to be managed in a pre-OS environment, the libnvdimm
     security implementation allows key provisioning and key-operations
     at OS runtime. Keys are managed with the kernel's encrypted-keys
     facility to provide data-at-rest security for the libnvdimm key
     material. The usage model mirrors fscrypt key management, but is
     driven via libnvdimm sysfs.

   - Miscellaneous updates for api usage and comment fixes"

<title>mm: convert totalram_pages and totalhigh_pages variables to atomic</title>

totalram_pages and totalhigh_pages are made static inline function.

Main motivation was that managed_page_count_lock handling was complicating
things.  It was discussed in length here,
https://lore.kernel.org/patchwork/patch/995739/#1181785 So it seemes
better to remove the lock and convert variables to atomic, with preventing
poteintial store-to-read tearing as a bonus.
