<title>timekeeping/vsyscall: Update VDSO data unconditionally</title>

<id>urn:sha1:52338415cf4d4064ae6b8dd972dadbda841da4fa</id>
<content type='text'>
The update of the VDSO data is depending on __arch_use_vsyscall() returning
True. This is a leftover from the attempt to map the features of various
architectures 1:1 into generic code.

The usage of __arch_use_vsyscall() in the actual vsyscall implementations
got dropped and replaced by the requirement for the architecture code to
return U64_MAX if the global clocksource is not usable in the VDSO.

But the __arch_use_vsyscall() check in the update code stayed which causes
the VDSO data to be stale or invalid when an architecture actually
implements that function and returns False when the current clocksource is
not usable in the VDSO.

As a consequence the VDSO implementations of clock_getres(), time(),
clock_gettime(CLOCK_.*_COARSE) operate on invalid data and return bogus
information.

Remove the __arch_use_vsyscall() check from the VDSO update function and
update the VDSO data unconditionally.

<content type='text'>
Pull kernel lockdown mode from James Morris:
 "This is the latest iteration of the kernel lockdown patchset, from
  Matthew Garrett, David Howells and others.

  From the original description:

    This patchset introduces an optional kernel lockdown feature,
    intended to strengthen the boundary between UID 0 and the kernel.
    When enabled, various pieces of kernel functionality are restricted.
    Applications that rely on low-level access to either hardware or the
    kernel may cease working as a result - therefore this should not be
    enabled without appropriate evaluation beforehand.

    The majority of mainstream distributions have been carrying variants
    of this patchset for many years now, so there's value in providing a
    doesn't meet every distribution requirement, but gets us much closer
    to not requiring external patches.

  There are two major changes since this was last proposed for mainline:

   - Separating lockdown from EFI secure boot. Background discussion is
     covered here: https://lwn.net/Articles/751061/

   -  Implementation as an LSM, with a default stackable lockdown LSM
      module. This allows the lockdown feature to be policy-driven,
      rather than encoding an implicit policy within the mechanism.

  The new locked_down LSM hook is provided to allow LSMs to make a
  policy decision around whether kernel functionality that would allow
  tampering with or examining the runtime state of the kernel should be
  permitted.

  The included lockdown LSM provides an implementation with a simple
  policy intended for general purpose use. This policy provides a coarse
  level of granularity, controllable via the kernel command line:

    lockdown={integrity|confidentiality}

  Enable the kernel lockdown feature. If set to integrity, kernel features
  that allow userland to modify the running kernel are disabled. If set to
  confidentiality, kernel features that allow userland to extract
  confidential information from the kernel are also disabled.

  This may also be controlled via /sys/kernel/security/lockdown and
  overriden by kernel configuration.

  New or existing LSMs may implement finer-grained controls of the
  lockdown features. Refer to the lockdown_reason documentation in
  include/linux/security.h for details.

  The lockdown feature has had signficant design feedback and review
  across many subsystems. This code has been in linux-next for some
  weeks, with a few fixes applied along the way.

  Stephen Rothwell noted that commit 9d1f8be5cf42 ("bpf: Restrict bpf
  when kernel lockdown is in confidentiality mode") is missing a
  Signed-off-by from its author. Matthew responded that he is providing
  this under category (c) of the DCO"

<title>mm: treewide: clarify pgtable_page_{ctor,dtor}() naming</title>

<id>urn:sha1:b4ed71f557e458257e0f71b11969954acb389240</id>
<content type='text'>
The naming of pgtable_page_{ctor,dtor}() seems to have confused a few
people, and until recently arm64 used these erroneously/pointlessly for
other levels of page table.

To make it incredibly clear that these only apply to the PTE level, and to
align with the naming of pgtable_pmd_page_{ctor,dtor}(), let's rename them
to pgtable_pte_page_{ctor,dtor}().

These changes were generated with the following shell script:

----
git grep -lw 'pgtable_page_.tor' | while read FILE; do
    sed -i '{s/pgtable_page_ctor/pgtable_pte_page_ctor/}' $FILE;
    sed -i '{s/pgtable_page_dtor/pgtable_pte_page_dtor/}' $FILE;
done
----

... with the documentation re-flowed to remain under 80 columns, and
whitespace fixed up in macros to keep backslashes aligned.

There should be no functional change as a result of this patch.

<title>bug: move WARN_ON() "cut here" into exception handler</title>

The original clean up of "cut here" missed the WARN_ON() case (that does
not have a printk message), which was fixed recently by adding an explicit

WARN_ON() caller, which reduces the utility of using an instruction
exception to streamline the resulting code.  By making this a new BUGFLAG,
all of these can be removed and "cut here" can be handled by the exception
handler.

This was very pronounced on PowerPC, but the effect can be seen on x86 as
well.  The resulting text size of a defconfig build shows some small
savings from this patch:

   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename

This change also opens the door for creating something like BUG_MSG(),
where a custom printk() before issuing BUG(), without confusing the "cut
here" line.

In preparation for cleaning up "cut here" even more, this removes the
__WARN_*TAINT() helpers, as they limit the ability to add new BUGFLAG_*
flags to call sites.  They are removed by expanding them into full
__WARN_FLAGS() calls.

Patch series "Clean up WARN() "cut here" handling", v2.

Christophe Leroy noticed that the fix for missing "cut here" in the WARN()
case was adding explicit printk() calls instead of teaching the exception
handler to add it.  This refactors the bug/warn infrastructure to pass
this information as a new BUGFLAG.

Longer details repeated from the last patch in the series:

bug: move WARN_ON() "cut here" into exception handler

The original cleanup of "cut here" missed the WARN_ON() case (that does
not have a printk message), which was fixed recently by adding an explicit
printk of "cut here".  This had the downside of adding a printk() to every
WARN_ON() caller, which reduces the utility of using an instruction

19676362        5134260 1663048 26473670        193f4c6 vmlinux.after

This change also opens the door for creating something like BUG_MSG(),
where a custom printk() before issuing BUG(), without confusing the "cut
here" line.

This patch (of 7):

There's no reason to have specialized helpers for passing the warn taint
down to __warn().  Consolidate and refactor helper macros, removing
__WARN_printf() and warn_slowpath_fmt_taint().
