Convert 'u8 inline' to 'inline u8' to be the same style used by the rest
of the kernel.
Miscellanea:
jornada_ssp_reverse is an odd function.
It is declared inline but is also EXPORT_SYMBOL.
It is also apparently only used by jornada720_ssp.c
Likely the EXPORT_SYMBOL could be removed and the function
converted to static.
The addition of static and removal of EXPORT_SYMBOL was not done.

asmlinkage is either 'extern "C"' or blank.
Move the uses of asmlinkage before the return types to be similar
to the rest of the kernel.

Make sure static, extern, and asmlinkage appear before a specific type.
e.g.:
int asmlinkage foo(void)
is better written
asmlinkage int foo(void)

Page migration (for memory hotplug, soft_offline_page or mbind) needs to
allocate a new memory. This can trigger an oom killer if the target
memory is depleated. Although quite unlikely, still possible,
especially for the memory hotplug (offlining of memoery).
Up to now we didn't really have reasonable means to back off.
__GFP_NORETRY can fail just too easily and __GFP_THISNODE sticks to a
single node and that is not suitable for all callers.
But now that we have __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL we should use it. It is
preferable to fail the migration than disrupt the system by killing some
processes.

Commit 24f8e00a8a2e ("drm/i915: Prefer to report ENOMEM rather than
incur the oom for gfx allocations") has tried to remove disruptive OOM
killer because the userspace should be able to cope with allocation
failures.
At the time only __GFP_NORETRY could achieve that and it turned out that
this would fail the allocations just too easily. So "drm/i915: Remove
__GFP_NORETRY from our buffer allocator" removed it and hoped for a
better solution. __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL is that solution. It will keep
retrying the allocation until there is no more progress and we would go
OOM. Instead we fail the allocation and let the caller to deal with it.

Now that __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL has a reasonable semantic regardless of the
request size we can drop the hackish implementation for !costly orders.
__GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL retries as long as the reclaim makes a forward
progress and backs of when we are out of memory for the requested size.
Therefore we do not need to enforce__GFP_NORETRY for !costly orders just
to silent the oom killer anymore.

KM_MAYFAIL didn't have any suitable GFP_FOO counterpart until recently
so it relied on the default page allocator behavior for the given set of
flags. This means that small allocations actually never failed.
Now that we have __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL flag which works independently on
the allocation request size we can map KM_MAYFAIL to it. The allocator
will try as hard as it can to fulfill the request but fails eventually
if the progress cannot be made. It does so without triggering the OOM
killer which can be seen as an improvement because KM_MAYFAIL users
should be able to deal with allocation failures.

semantic
__GFP_REPEAT was designed to allow retry-but-eventually-fail semantic to
the page allocator. This has been true but only for allocations
requests larger than PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER. It has been always
ignored for smaller sizes. This is a bit unfortunate because there is
no way to express the same semantic for those requests and they are
considered too important to fail so they might end up looping in the
page allocator for ever, similarly to GFP_NOFAIL requests.
Now that the whole tree has been cleaned up and accidental or misled
usage of __GFP_REPEAT flag has been removed for !costly requests we can
give the original flag a better name and more importantly a more useful
semantic. Let's rename it to __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL which tells the user
that the allocator would try really hard but there is no promise of a
success. This will work independent of the order and overrides the
default allocator behavior. Page allocator users have several levels of
guarantee vs. cost options (take GFP_KERNEL as an example)
- GFP_KERNEL & ~__GFP_RECLAIM - optimistic allocation without _any_
attempt to free memory at all. The most light weight mode which even
doesn't kick the background reclaim. Should be used carefully because
it might deplete the memory and the next user might hit the more
aggressive reclaim
- GFP_KERNEL & ~__GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM (or GFP_NOWAIT)- optimistic
allocation without any attempt to free memory from the current
context but can wake kswapd to reclaim memory if the zone is below
the low watermark. Can be used from either atomic contexts or when
the request is a performance optimization and there is another
fallback for a slow path.
- (GFP_KERNEL|__GFP_HIGH) & ~__GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM (aka GFP_ATOMIC) -
non sleeping allocation with an expensive fallback so it can access
some portion of memory reserves. Usually used from interrupt/bh
context with an expensive slow path fallback.
- GFP_KERNEL - both background and direct reclaim are allowed and the
_default_ page allocator behavior is used. That means that !costly
allocation requests are basically nofail but there is no guarantee of
that behavior so failures have to be checked properly by callers
(e.g. OOM killer victim is allowed to fail currently).
- GFP_KERNEL | __GFP_NORETRY - overrides the default allocator behavior
and all allocation requests fail early rather than cause disruptive
reclaim (one round of reclaim in this implementation). The OOM killer
is not invoked.
- GFP_KERNEL | __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL - overrides the default allocator
behavior and all allocation requests try really hard. The request
will fail if the reclaim cannot make any progress. The OOM killer
won't be triggered.
- GFP_KERNEL | __GFP_NOFAIL - overrides the default allocator behavior
and all allocation requests will loop endlessly until they succeed.
This might be really dangerous especially for larger orders.
Existing users of __GFP_REPEAT are changed to __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL
because they already had their semantic. No new users are added.
__alloc_pages_slowpath is changed to bail out for __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL if
there is no progress and we have already passed the OOM point.
This means that all the reclaim opportunities have been exhausted except
the most disruptive one (the OOM killer) and a user defined fallback
behavior is more sensible than keep retrying in the page allocator.

Patch series "mm: give __GFP_REPEAT a better semantic".
The main motivation for the change is that the current implementation of
__GFP_REPEAT is not very much useful.
The documentation says:
* __GFP_REPEAT: Try hard to allocate the memory, but the allocation attempt
* _might_ fail. This depends upon the particular VM implementation.
It just fails to mention that this is true only for large (costly) high
order which has been the case since the flag was introduced. A similar
semantic would be really helpful for smal orders as well, though,
because we have places where a failure with a specific fallback error
handling is preferred to a potential endless loop inside the page
allocator.
The earlier cleanup dropped __GFP_REPEAT usage for low (!costly) order
users so only those which might use larger orders have stayed. One new
user added in the meantime is addressed in patch 1.
Let's rename the flag to something more verbose and use it for existing
users. Semantic for those will not change. Then implement low
(!costly) orders failure path which is hit after the page allocator is
about to invoke the oom killer. With that we have a good counterpart
for __GFP_NORETRY and finally can tell try as hard as possible without
the OOM killer.
Xfs code already has an existing annotation for allocations which are
allowed to fail and we can trivially map them to the new gfp flag
because it will provide the semantic KM_MAYFAIL wants. Christoph didn't
consider the new flag really necessary but didn't respond to the OOM
killer aspect of the change so I have kept the patch. If this is still
seen as not really needed I can drop the patch.
kvmalloc will allow also !costly high order allocations to retry hard
before falling back to the vmalloc.
drm/i915 asked for the new semantic explicitly.
Memory migration code, especially for the memory hotplug, should back
off rather than invoking the OOM killer as well.
This patch (of 6):
Commit 3377e227af44 ("MIPS: Add 48-bit VA space (and 4-level page
tables) for 4K pages.") has added a new __GFP_REPEAT user but using this
flag doesn't really make any sense for order-0 request which is the case
here because PUD_ORDER is 0. __GFP_REPEAT has historically effect only
on allocation requests with order > PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER.
This doesn't introduce any functional change. This is a preparatory
patch for later work which renames the flag and redefines its semantic.

When RLIMIT_STACK is, for example, 256MB, the current code results in a
gap between the top of the task and mmap_base of 256MB, failing to take
into account the amount by which the stack address was randomized. In
other words, the stack gets less than RLIMIT_STACK space.
Ensure that the gap between the stack and mmap_base always takes stack
randomization and the stack guard gap into account.

Patch series "stackprotector: ascii armor the stack canary", v2.
Zero out the first byte of the stack canary value on 64 bit systems, in
order to mitigate unterminated C string overflows.
The null byte both prevents C string functions from reading the canary,
and from writing it if the canary value were guessed or obtained through
some other means.
Reducing the entropy by 8 bits is acceptable on 64-bit systems, which
will still have 56 bits of entropy left, but not on 32 bit systems, so
the "ascii armor" canary is only implemented on 64-bit systems.
Inspired by the "ascii armor" code in execshield and Daniel Micay's
linux-hardened tree.

This adds support for compiling with a rough equivalent to the glibc
_FORTIFY_SOURCE=1 feature, providing compile-time and runtime buffer
overflow checks for string.h functions when the compiler determines the
size of the source or destination buffer at compile-time. Unlike glibc,
it covers buffer reads in addition to writes.
GNU C __builtin_*_chk intrinsics are avoided because they would force a
much more complex implementation. They aren't designed to detect read
overflows and offer no real benefit when using an implementation based
on inline checks. Inline checks don't add up to much code size and
allow full use of the regular string intrinsics while avoiding the need
for a bunch of _chk functions and per-arch assembly to avoid wrapper
overhead.
This detects various overflows at compile-time in various drivers and
some non-x86 core kernel code. There will likely be issues caught in
regular use at runtime too.
Future improvements left out of initial implementation for simplicity,
as it's all quite optional and can be done incrementally:
* Some of the fortified string functions (strncpy, strcat), don't yet
place a limit on reads from the source based on __builtin_object_size of
the source buffer.
* Extending coverage to more string functions like strlcat.
* It should be possible to optionally use __builtin_object_size(x, 1) for
some functions (C strings) to detect intra-object overflows (like
glibc's _FORTIFY_SOURCE=2), but for now this takes the conservative
approach to avoid likely compatibility issues.
* The compile-time checks should be made available via a separate config
option which can be enabled by default (or always enabled) once enough
time has passed to get the issues it catches fixed.

Testing the fortified string functions[1] would cause a kernel panic on
boot in test_feature_fixups() due to a buffer overflow in memcmp.
This boils down to things like this:
extern unsigned int ftr_fixup_test1;
extern unsigned int ftr_fixup_test1_orig;
check(memcmp(&ftr_fixup_test1, &ftr_fixup_test1_orig, size) == 0);
We know that these are asm labels so it is safe to read up to 'size'
bytes at those addresses.
However, because we have passed the address of a single unsigned int to
memcmp, the compiler believes the underlying object is in fact a single
unsigned int. So if size > sizeof(unsigned int), there will be a panic
at runtime.
We can fix this by changing the types: instead of calling the asm labels
unsigned ints, call them unsigned int[]s. Therefore the size isn't
incorrectly determined at compile time and we get a regular unsafe
memcmp and no panic.

prom_init is a bit special; in theory it should be able to be linked
separately to the kernel. To keep this from getting too complex, the
symbols that prom_init.c uses are checked.
Fortification adds symbols, and it gets quite messy as it includes
things like panic(). So just don't fortify prom_init.c for now.

Daniel Micay noted that struct rxe_pkt_info is 32 bytes on 32-bit

bytes. This fixes it by zeroing the unused bytes in skb->cb.

Defining kexec_purgatory as a zero-length char array upsets compile time
size checking. Since this is built on a per-arch basis, define it as an
unsized char array (like is done for other similar things, e.g. linker
sections). This silences the warning generated by the future
CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE, which did not like the memcmp() of a "0 byte"
array. This drops the __weak and uses an extern instead, since both
users define kexec_purgatory.

Implement an arch-speicfic watchdog rather than use the perf-based
hardlockup detector.
The new watchdog takes the soft-NMI directly, rather than going through
perf. Perf interrupts are to be made maskable in future, so that would
prevent the perf detector from working in those regions.
Additionally, implement a SMP based detector where all CPUs watch one
another by pinging a shared cpumask. This is because powerpc Book3S
does not have a true periodic local NMI, but some platforms do implement
a true NMI IPI.
If a CPU is stuck with interrupts hard disabled, the soft-NMI watchdog
does not work, but the SMP watchdog will. Even on platforms without a
true NMI IPI to get a good trace from the stuck CPU, other CPUs will
notice the lockup sufficiently to report it and panic.

Split SOFTLOCKUP_DETECTOR from LOCKUP_DETECTOR, and split
HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_PERF from HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR.
LOCKUP_DETECTOR implies the general boot, sysctl, and programming
interfaces for the lockup detectors.
An architecture that wants to use a hard lockup detector must define
HAVE_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_PERF or HAVE_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_ARCH.
Alternatively an arch can define HAVE_NMI_WATCHDOG, which provides the
minimum arch_touch_nmi_watchdog, and it otherwise does its own thing and
does not implement the LOCKUP_DETECTOR interfaces.
sparc is unusual in that it has started to implement some of the
interfaces, but not fully yet. It should probably be converted to a full
HAVE_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_ARCH.

For architectures that define HAVE_NMI_WATCHDOG, instead of having them
provide the complete touch_nmi_watchdog() function, just have them
provide arch_touch_nmi_watchdog().
This gives the generic code more flexibility in implementing this
function, and arch implementations don't miss out on touching the
softlockup watchdog or other generic details.

sem_io fall-back memory. Better to just open-code these to make things
easier to read.

sem_ctime is initialized to the semget() time and then updated at every
semctl() that changes the array.
Thus it does not represent the time of the last change.
Especially, semop() calls are only stored in sem_otime, not in
sem_ctime.
This is already described in ipc/sem.c, I just overlooked that there is
a comment in include/linux/sem.h and man semctl(2) as well.
So: Correct wrong comments.

ipc has two management structures that exist for every id:
- struct kern_ipc_perm, it contains e.g. the permissions.
- struct ipc_rcu, it contains the rcu head for rcu handling and the
refcount.
The patch merges both structures.
As a bonus, we may save one cacheline, because both structures are
cacheline aligned. In addition, it reduces the number of casts, instead
most codepaths can use container_of.
To simplify code, the ipc_rcu_alloc initializes the allocation to 0.

sma->sem_base is initialized with
sma->sem_base = (struct sem *) &sma[1];
The current code has four problems:
- There is an unnecessary pointer dereference - sem_base is not needed.
- Alignment for struct sem only works by chance.
- The current code causes false positive for static code analysis.
- This is a cast between different non-void types, which the future
randstruct GCC plugin warns on.
And, as bonus, the code size gets smaller:
Before:
0 .text 00003770
After:
0 .text 0000374e
