Conflicts:

As Stephen Rothwell noted, there's a conflict between this commit
in locking/core:
a21ee6055c ("lockdep: Change hardirq{s_enabled,_context} to per-cpu variables")
and this fresh upstream commit:
aa54ea903a ("ARM: percpu.h: fix build error")
a21ee6055c is a simpler solution to the dependency problem and doesn't
further increase header hell - so this conflict resolution effectively
reverts aa54ea903a and uses the a21ee6055c solution.

This patch breaks a header loop involving qspinlock_types.h.
The issue is that qspinlock_types.h includes atomic.h, which then
eventually includes kernel.h which could lead back to the original
file via spinlock_types.h.
As ATOMIC_INIT is now defined by linux/types.h, there is no longer
any need to include atomic.h from qspinlock_types.h. This also
allows the CONFIG_PARAVIRT hack to be removed since it was trying
to prevent exactly this loop.

This implements the generic paravirt qspinlocks using H_PROD and
H_CONFER to kick and wait.
This uses an un-directed yield to any CPU rather than the directed
yield to a pre-empted lock holder that paravirtualised simple
spinlocks use, that requires no kick hcall. This is something that
could be investigated and improved in future.
Performance results can be found in the commit which added queued
spinlocks.

These have shown significantly improved performance and fairness when
spinlock contention is moderate to high on very large systems.
With this series including subsequent patches, on a 16 socket 1536
thread POWER9, a stress test such as same-file open/close from all
CPUs gets big speedups, 11620op/s aggregate with simple spinlocks vs
384158op/s (33x faster), where the difference in throughput between
the fastest and slowest thread goes from 7x to 1.4x.
Thanks to the fast path being identical in terms of atomics and
barriers (after a subsequent optimisation patch), single threaded
performance is not changed (no measurable difference).
On smaller systems, performance and fairness seems to be generally
improved. Using dbench on tmpfs as a test (that starts to run into
kernel spinlock contention), a 2-socket OpenPOWER POWER9 system was
tested with bare metal and KVM guest configurations. Results can be
found here:
https://github.com/linuxppc/issues/issues/305#issuecomment-663487453
Observations are:
- Queued spinlocks are equal when contention is insignificant, as
expected and as measured with microbenchmarks.
- When there is contention, on bare metal queued spinlocks have better
throughput and max latency at all points.
- When virtualised, queued spinlocks are slightly worse approaching
peak throughput, but significantly better throughput and max latency
at all points beyond peak, until queued spinlock maximum latency
rises when clients are 2x vCPUs.
The regressions haven't been analysed very well yet, there are a lot
of things that can be tuned, particularly the paravirtualised locking,
but the numbers already look like a good net win even on relatively
small systems.

The UDP reuseport conflict was a little bit tricky.
The net-next code, via bpf-next, extracted the reuseport handling
into a helper so that the BPF sk lookup code could invoke it.
At the same time, the logic for reuseport handling of unconnected
sockets changed via commit efc6b6f6c3
which changed the logic to carry on the reuseport result into the
rest of the lookup loop if we do not return immediately.
This requires moving the reuseport_has_conns() logic into the callers.
While we are here, get rid of inline directives as they do not belong
in foo.c files.
The other changes were cases of more straightforward overlapping
modifications.

Move these primitives into a new header: <linux/instrumentation.h>, and include that
header in the headers that make use of it.
Unfortunately one of these headers is asm-generic/bug.h, which does get included
in a lot of places, similarly to compiler.h. So the de-bloating effect isn't as
good as we'd like it to be - but at least the interfaces are defined separately.
No change to functionality intended.

On x86-32 the idt_table with 256 entries needs only 2048 bytes. It is
page-aligned, but the end of the .bss..page_aligned section is not
guaranteed to be page-aligned.
As a result, objects from other .bss sections may end up on the same 4k
page as the idt_table, and will accidentially get mapped read-only during
boot, causing unexpected page-faults when the kernel writes to them.
This could be worked around by making the objects in the page aligned
sections page sized, but that's wrong.
Explicit sections which store only page aligned objects have an implicit
guarantee that the object is alone in the page in which it is placed. That
works for all objects except the last one. That's inconsistent.
Enforcing page sized objects for these sections would wreckage memory
sanitizers, because the object becomes artificially larger than it should
be and out of bound access becomes legit.
Align the end of the .bss..page_aligned and .data..page_aligned section on
page-size so all objects places in these sections are guaranteed to have
their own page.

Pull arm64 fixes from Will Deacon:
"A batch of arm64 fixes.
Although the diffstat is a bit larger than we'd usually have at this
stage, a decent amount of it is the addition of comments describing
our syscall tracing behaviour, and also a sweep across all the modular
arm64 PMU drivers to make them rebust against unloading and unbinding.
There are a couple of minor things kicking around at the moment (CPU
errata and module PLTs for very large modules), but I'm not expecting
any significant changes now for us in 5.8.
- Fix kernel text addresses for relocatable images booting using EFI
and with KASLR disabled so that they match the vmlinux ELF binary.
- Fix unloading and unbinding of PMU driver modules.
- Fix generic mmiowb() when writeX() is called from preemptible
context (reported by the riscv folks).
- Fix ptrace hardware single-step interactions with signal handlers,
system calls and reverse debugging.
- Fix reporting of 64-bit x0 register for 32-bit tasks via
'perf_regs'.
- Add comments describing syscall entry/exit tracing ABI"

Although mmiowb() is concerned only with serialising MMIO writes occuring
in contexts where a spinlock is held, the call to mmiowb_set_pending()
from the MMIO write accessors can occur in preemptible contexts, such
as during driver probe() functions where ordering between CPUs is not
usually a concern, assuming that the task migration path provides the
necessary ordering guarantees.
Unfortunately, the default implementation of mmiowb_set_pending() is not
preempt-safe, as it makes use of a a per-cpu variable to track its
internal state. This has been reported to generate the following splat
on riscv:
| BUG: using smp_processor_id() in preemptible [00000000] code: swapper/0/1
| caller is regmap_mmio_write32le+0x1c/0x46
| CPU: 3 PID: 1 Comm: swapper/0 Not tainted 5.8.0-rc3-hfu+ #1

| regmap_mmio_write+0x26/0x44
| regmap_write+0x28/0x48
| sifive_gpio_probe+0xc0/0x1da
Although it's possible to fix the driver in this case, other splats have
been seen from other drivers, including the infamous 8250 UART, and so
it's better to address this problem in the mmiowb core itself.
Fix mmiowb_set_pending() by using the raw_cpu_ptr() to get at the mmiowb
state and then only updating the 'mmiowb_pending' field if we are not
preemptible (i.e. we have a non-zero nesting count).

The terminator for the mode 1 syscalls list was a 0, but that could be
a valid syscall number (e.g. x86_64 __NR_read). By luck, __NR_read was
listed first and the loop construct would not test it, so there was no
bug. However, this is fragile. Replace the terminator with -1 instead,
and make the variable name for mode 1 syscall lists more descriptive.

Pull x86 entry updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"The x86 entry, exception and interrupt code rework
This all started about 6 month ago with the attempt to move the Posix
CPU timer heavy lifting out of the timer interrupt code and just have
lockless quick checks in that code path. Trivial 5 patches.
This unearthed an inconsistency in the KVM handling of task work and
the review requested to move all of this into generic code so other
architectures can share.
Valid request and solved with another 25 patches but those unearthed
inconsistencies vs. RCU and instrumentation.
Digging into this made it obvious that there are quite some
inconsistencies vs. instrumentation in general. The int3 text poke
handling in particular was completely unprotected and with the batched
update of trace events even more likely to expose to endless int3
recursion.
In parallel the RCU implications of instrumenting fragile entry code
came up in several discussions.
The conclusion of the x86 maintainer team was to go all the way and
make the protection against any form of instrumentation of fragile and
dangerous code pathes enforcable and verifiable by tooling.
A first batch of preparatory work hit mainline with commit
d5f744f9a2 ("Pull x86 entry code updates from Thomas Gleixner")
That (almost) full solution introduced a new code section
'.noinstr.text' into which all code which needs to be protected from
instrumentation of all sorts goes into. Any call into instrumentable
code out of this section has to be annotated. objtool has support to
validate this.
Kprobes now excludes this section fully which also prevents BPF from
fiddling with it and all 'noinstr' annotated functions also keep
ftrace off. The section, kprobes and objtool changes are already
merged.
The major changes coming with this are:
- Preparatory cleanups
- Annotating of relevant functions to move them into the
noinstr.text section or enforcing inlining by marking them
__always_inline so the compiler cannot misplace or instrument
them.
- Splitting and simplifying the idtentry macro maze so that it is
now clearly separated into simple exception entries and the more
interesting ones which use interrupt stacks and have the paranoid
handling vs. CR3 and GS.
- Move quite some of the low level ASM functionality into C code:
- enter_from and exit to user space handling. The ASM code now
calls into C after doing the really necessary ASM handling and
the return path goes back out without bells and whistels in
ASM.
- exception entry/exit got the equivivalent treatment
- move all IRQ tracepoints from ASM to C so they can be placed as
appropriate which is especially important for the int3
recursion issue.
- Consolidate the declaration and definition of entry points between
32 and 64 bit. They share a common header and macros now.
- Remove the extra device interrupt entry maze and just use the
regular exception entry code.
- All ASM entry points except NMI are now generated from the shared
header file and the corresponding macros in the 32 and 64 bit
entry ASM.
- The C code entry points are consolidated as well with the help of
DEFINE_IDTENTRY*() macros. This allows to ensure at one central
point that all corresponding entry points share the same
semantics. The actual function body for most entry points is in an
instrumentable and sane state.
There are special macros for the more sensitive entry points, e.g.
INT3 and of course the nasty paranoid #NMI, #MCE, #DB and #DF.
They allow to put the whole entry instrumentation and RCU handling
into safe places instead of the previous pray that it is correct
approach.
- The INT3 text poke handling is now completely isolated and the
recursion issue banned. Aside of the entry rework this required
other isolation work, e.g. the ability to force inline bsearch.
- Prevent #DB on fragile entry code, entry relevant memory and
disable it on NMI, #MC entry, which allowed to get rid of the
nested #DB IST stack shifting hackery.
- A few other cleanups and enhancements which have been made
possible through this and already merged changes, e.g.
consolidating and further restricting the IDT code so the IDT
table becomes RO after init which removes yet another popular
attack vector
- About 680 lines of ASM maze are gone.
There are a few open issues:
- An escape out of the noinstr section in the MCE handler which needs
some more thought but under the aspect that MCE is a complete
trainwreck by design and the propability to survive it is low, this
was not high on the priority list.
- Paravirtualization
When PV is enabled then objtool complains about a bunch of indirect
calls out of the noinstr section. There are a few straight forward
ways to fix this, but the other issues vs. general correctness were
more pressing than parawitz.
- KVM
KVM is inconsistent as well. Patches have been posted, but they
have not yet been commented on or picked up by the KVM folks.
- IDLE
Pretty much the same problems can be found in the low level idle
code especially the parts where RCU stopped watching. This was
beyond the scope of the more obvious and exposable problems and is
on the todo list.
The lesson learned from this brain melting exercise to morph the
evolved code base into something which can be validated and understood
is that once again the violation of the most important engineering
principle "correctness first" has caused quite a few people to spend
valuable time on problems which could have been avoided in the first
place. The "features first" tinkering mindset really has to stop.

this effort. Special thanks go to the following people (alphabetical

Merge the state of the locking kcsan branch before the read/write_once()
and the atomics modifications got merged.
Squash the fallout of the rebase on top of the read/write once and atomic
fallback work into the merge. The history of the original branch is
preserved in tag locking-kcsan-2020-06-02.

Pull READ/WRITE_ONCE rework from Will Deacon:
"This the READ_ONCE rework I've been working on for a while, which
bumps the minimum GCC version and improves code-gen on arm64 when
stack protector is enabled"
[ Side note: I'm _really_ tempted to raise the minimum gcc version to
4.9, so that we can just say that we require _Generic() support.
That would allow us to more cleanly handle a lot of the cases where we
depend on very complex macros with 'sizeof' or __builtin_choose_expr()
with __builtin_types_compatible_p() etc.
This branch has a workaround for sparse not handling _Generic(),
either, but that was already fixed in the sparse development branch,
so it's really just gcc-4.9 that we'd require. - Linus ]
