<content type='text'>
On architectures with delay slot, architecture level instruction
pointer (or program counter) in pt_regs may differ from where
exception was triggered.

Introduce exception_ip hook to invoke architecture code and determine
actual instruction pointer to the exception.

<title>mips: Call lose_fpu(0) before initializing fcr31 in mips_set_personality_nan</title>

<content type='text'>
If we still own the FPU after initializing fcr31, when we are preempted
the dirty value in the FPU will be read out and stored into fcr31,
clobbering our setting.  This can cause an improper floating-point
environment after execve().  For example:

    zsh% cat measure.c
    #include &lt;fenv.h&gt;
    int main() { return fetestexcept(FE_INEXACT); }
    zsh% cc measure.c -o measure -lm
    zsh% echo $((1.0/3)) # raising FE_INEXACT
    0.33333333333333331
    zsh% while ./measure; do ; done
    (stopped in seconds)

Call lose_fpu(0) before setting fcr31 to prevent this.

"cpu_probe" is called both by BP and APs, but reserving exception vector
(like 0x0-0x1000) called by "cpu_probe" need once and calling on APs is
too late since memblock is unavailable at that time.

So, reserve exception vector ONLY by BP.

  ioremap_uc() definition from everything except x86, which still needs
  it for pre-PAT systems. This series notably contains a patch from
  Jiaxun Yang that converts MIPS to use asm-generic/io.h like every
  other architecture does, enabling future cleanups.

  Some of my own patches fix -Wmissing-prototype warnings in
  architecture specific code across several architectures. This is now
  needed as the warning is enabled by default. There are still some
  remaining warnings in minor platforms, but the series should catch
  most of the widely used ones make them more consistent with one
  another.

  David McKay fixes a bug in __generic_cmpxchg_local() when this is used
  on 64-bit architectures. This could currently only affect parisc64 and
  sparc64.

  Additional cleanups address from Linus Walleij, Uwe Kleine-König,

Pull security module updates from Paul Moore:

 - Add three new syscalls: lsm_list_modules(), lsm_get_self_attr(), and
   lsm_set_self_attr().

   The first syscall simply lists the LSMs enabled, while the second and
   third get and set the current process' LSM attributes. Yes, these
   syscalls may provide similar functionality to what can be found under
   /proc or /sys, but they were designed to support multiple,
   simultaneaous (stacked) LSMs from the start as opposed to the current
   /proc based solutions which were created at a time when only one LSM
   was allowed to be active at a given time.

   We have spent considerable time discussing ways to extend the
   existing /proc interfaces to support multiple, simultaneaous LSMs and
   even our best ideas have been far too ugly to support as a kernel
   API; after +20 years in the kernel, I felt the LSM layer had
   established itself enough to justify a handful of syscalls.

   Support amongst the individual LSM developers has been nearly
   unanimous, with a single objection coming from Tetsuo (TOMOYO) as he
   is worried that the LSM_ID_XXX token concept will make it more
   difficult for out-of-tree LSMs to survive. Several members of the LSM
   community have demonstrated the ability for out-of-tree LSMs to
   continue to exist by picking high/unused LSM_ID values as well as
   pointing out that many kernel APIs rely on integer identifiers, e.g.
   syscalls (!), but unfortunately Tetsuo's objections remain.

   My personal opinion is that while I have no interest in penalizing
   out-of-tree LSMs, I'm not going to penalize in-tree development to
   support out-of-tree development, and I view this as a necessary step
   forward to support the push for expanded LSM stacking and reduce our
   reliance on /proc and /sys which has occassionally been problematic
   for some container users. Finally, we have included the linux-api
   folks on (all?) recent revisions of the patchset and addressed all of
   their concerns.

 - Add a new security_file_ioctl_compat() LSM hook to handle the 32-bit
   ioctls on 64-bit systems problem.

   This patch includes support for all of the existing LSMs which
   provide ioctl hooks, although it turns out only SELinux actually
   cares about the individual ioctls. It is worth noting that while
   Casey (Smack) and Tetsuo (TOMOYO) did not give explicit ACKs to this
   patch, they did both indicate they are okay with the changes.

 - Fix a potential memory leak in the CALIPSO code when IPv6 is disabled
   at boot.

   While it's good that we are fixing this, I doubt this is something
   users are seeing in the wild as you need to both disable IPv6 and
   then attempt to configure IPv6 labeled networking via
   NetLabel/CALIPSO; that just doesn't make much sense.

   Normally this would go through netdev, but Jakub asked me to take
   this patch and of all the trees I maintain, the LSM tree seemed like
   the best fit.

 - Update the LSM MAINTAINERS entry with additional information about
   our process docs, patchwork, bug reporting, etc.

   I also noticed that the Lockdown LSM is missing a dedicated
   MAINTAINERS entry so I've added that to the pull request. I've been
   working with one of the major Lockdown authors/contributors to see if
   they are willing to step up and assume a Lockdown maintainer role;
   hopefully that will happen soon, but in the meantime I'll continue to
   look after it.

 - Add a handful of mailmap entries for Serge Hallyn and myself.

Pull vfs mount updates from Christian Brauner:
 "This contains the work to retrieve detailed information about mounts
  via two new system calls. This is hopefully the beginning of the end
  of the saga that started with fsinfo() years ago.

  The LWN articles in [1] and [2] can serve as a summary so we can avoid
  rehashing everything here.

  At LSFMM in May 2022 we got into a room and agreed on what we want to
  do about fsinfo(). Basically, split it into pieces. This is the first
  part of that agreement. Specifically, it is concerned with retrieving
  information about mounts. So this only concerns the mount information
  retrieval, not the mount table change notification, or the extended
  filesystem specific mount option work. That is separate work.

  Currently mounts have a 32bit id. Mount ids are already in heavy use
  by libmount and other low-level userspace but they can't be relied
  upon because they're recycled very quickly. We agreed that mounts
  should carry a unique 64bit id by which they can be referenced
  directly. This is now implemented as part of this work.

  The new 64bit mount id is exposed in statx() through the new
  STATX_MNT_ID_UNIQUE flag. If the flag isn't raised the old mount id is
  returned. If it is raised and the kernel supports the new 64bit mount
  id the flag is raised in the result mask and the new 64bit mount id is
  returned. New and old mount ids do not overlap so they cannot be
  conflated.

  Two new system calls are introduced that operate on the 64bit mount
  id: statmount() and listmount(). A summary of the api and usage can be
  found on LWN as well (cf. [3]) but of course, I'll provide a summary
  here as well.

  Both system calls rely on struct mnt_id_req. Which is the request
  struct used to pass the 64bit mount id identifying the mount to
  operate on. It is extensible to allow for the addition of new
  parameters and for future use in other apis that make use of mount
  ids.

  statmount() mimicks the semantics of statx() and exposes a set flags
  that userspace may raise in mnt_id_req to request specific information
  to be retrieved. A statmount() call returns a struct statmount filled
  in with information about the requested mount. Supported requests are
  indicated by raising the request flag passed in struct mnt_id_req in
  the @mask argument in struct statmount.

  Currently we do support:

   - STATMOUNT_SB_BASIC:
     Basic filesystem info

   - STATMOUNT_MNT_BASIC
     Mount information (mount id, parent mount id, mount attributes etc)

   - STATMOUNT_PROPAGATE_FROM
     Propagation from what mount in current namespace

   - STATMOUNT_MNT_ROOT
     Path of the root of the mount (e.g., mount --bind /bla /mnt returns /bla)

   - STATMOUNT_MNT_POINT
     Path of the mount point (e.g., mount --bind /bla /mnt returns /mnt)

   - STATMOUNT_FS_TYPE
     Name of the filesystem type as the magic number isn't enough due to submounts

  The string options STATMOUNT_MNT_{ROOT,POINT} and STATMOUNT_FS_TYPE
  are appended to the end of the struct. Userspace can use the offsets
  in @fs_type, @mnt_root, and @mnt_point to reference those strings
  easily.

  The struct statmount reserves quite a bit of space currently for
  future extensibility. This isn't really a problem and if this bothers
  us we can just send a follow-up pull request during this cycle.

  listmount() is given a 64bit mount id via mnt_id_req just as
  statmount(). It takes a buffer and a size to return an array of the
  64bit ids of the child mounts of the requested mount. Userspace can
  thus choose to either retrieve child mounts for a mount in batches or
  iterate through the child mounts. For most use-cases it will be
  sufficient to just leave space for a few child mounts. But for big
  mount tables having an iterator is really helpful. Iterating through a
  mount table works by setting @param in mnt_id_req to the mount id of
  the last child mount retrieved in the previous listmount() call"
