Pull close_range() implementation from Christian Brauner:
"This adds the close_range() syscall. It allows to efficiently close a
range of file descriptors up to all file descriptors of a calling
task.
This is coordinated with the FreeBSD folks which have copied our
version of this syscall and in the meantime have already merged it in
April 2019:
https://reviews.freebsd.org/D21627
https://svnweb.freebsd.org/base?view=revision&revision=359836
The syscall originally came up in a discussion around the new mount
API and making new file descriptor types cloexec by default. During
this discussion, Al suggested the close_range() syscall.
First, it helps to close all file descriptors of an exec()ing task.
This can be done safely via (quoting Al's example from [1] verbatim):
/* that exec is sensitive */
unshare(CLONE_FILES);
/* we don't want anything past stderr here */
close_range(3, ~0U);
execve(....);
The code snippet above is one way of working around the problem that
file descriptors are not cloexec by default. This is aggravated by the
fact that we can't just switch them over without massively regressing
userspace. For a whole class of programs having an in-kernel method of
closing all file descriptors is very helpful (e.g. demons, service
managers, programming language standard libraries, container managers
etc.).
Second, it allows userspace to avoid implementing closing all file
descriptors by parsing through /proc/<pid>/fd/* and calling close() on
each file descriptor and other hacks. From looking at various
large(ish) userspace code bases this or similar patterns are very
common in service managers, container runtimes, and programming
language runtimes/standard libraries such as Python or Rust.
In addition, the syscall will also work for tasks that do not have
procfs mounted and on kernels that do not have procfs support compiled
in. In such situations the only way to make sure that all file
descriptors are closed is to call close() on each file descriptor up
to UINT_MAX or RLIMIT_NOFILE, OPEN_MAX trickery.
Based on Linus' suggestion close_range() also comes with a new flag
CLOSE_RANGE_UNSHARE to more elegantly handle file descriptor dropping
right before exec. This would usually be expressed in the sequence:
unshare(CLONE_FILES);
close_range(3, ~0U);
as pointed out by Linus it might be desirable to have this be a part
of close_range() itself under a new flag CLOSE_RANGE_UNSHARE which
gets especially handy when we're closing all file descriptors above a
certain threshold.
Test-suite as always included"

Pull fork cleanups from Christian Brauner:
"This is cleanup series from when we reworked a chunk of the process
creation paths in the kernel and switched to struct
{kernel_}clone_args.
High-level this does two main things:
- Remove the double export of both do_fork() and _do_fork() where
do_fork() used the incosistent legacy clone calling convention.
Now we only export _do_fork() which is based on struct
kernel_clone_args.
- Remove the copy_thread_tls()/copy_thread() split making the
architecture specific HAVE_COYP_THREAD_TLS config option obsolete.
This switches all remaining architectures to select
HAVE_COPY_THREAD_TLS and thus to the copy_thread_tls() calling
convention. The current split makes the process creation codepaths
more convoluted than they need to be. Each architecture has their own
copy_thread() function unless it selects HAVE_COPY_THREAD_TLS then it
has a copy_thread_tls() function.
The split is not needed anymore nowadays, all architectures support
CLONE_SETTLS but quite a few of them never bothered to select
HAVE_COPY_THREAD_TLS and instead simply continued to use copy_thread()
and use the old calling convention. Removing this split cleans up the
process creation codepaths and paves the way for implementing clone3()
on such architectures since it requires the copy_thread_tls() calling
convention.
After having made each architectures support copy_thread_tls() this
series simply renames that function back to copy_thread(). It also
switches all architectures that call do_fork() directly over to
_do_fork() and the struct kernel_clone_args calling convention. This
is a corollary of switching the architectures that did not yet support
it over to copy_thread_tls() since do_fork() is conditional on not
supporting copy_thread_tls() (Mostly because it lacks a separate
argument for tls which is trivial to fix but there's no need for this
function to exist.).
The do_fork() removal is in itself already useful as it allows to to
remove the export of both do_fork() and _do_fork() we currently have
in favor of only _do_fork(). This has already been discussed back when
we added clone3(). The legacy clone() calling convention is - as is
probably well-known - somewhat odd:
#
# ABI hall of shame
#
config CLONE_BACKWARDS
config CLONE_BACKWARDS2
config CLONE_BACKWARDS3
that is aggravated by the fact that some architectures such as sparc
follow the CLONE_BACKWARDSx calling convention but don't really select
the corresponding config option since they call do_fork() directly.
So do_fork() enforces a somewhat arbitrary calling convention in the
first place that doesn't really help the individual architectures that
deviate from it. They can thus simply be switched to _do_fork()
enforcing a single calling convention. (I really hope that any new
architectures will __not__ try to implement their own calling
conventions...)
Most architectures already have made a similar switch (m68k comes to
mind).
Overall this removes more code than it adds even with a good portion
of added comments. It simplifies a chunk of arch specific assembly
either by moving the code into C or by simply rewriting the assembly.
Architectures that have been touched in non-trivial ways have all been
actually boot and stress tested: sparc and ia64 have been tested with
Debian 9 images. They are the two architectures which have been
touched the most. All non-trivial changes to architectures have seen
acks from the relevant maintainers. nios2 with a custom built
buildroot image. h8300 I couldn't get something bootable to test on
but the changes have been fairly automatic and I'm sure we'll hear
people yell if I broke something there.
All other architectures that have been touched in trivial ways have
been compile tested for each single patch of the series via git rebase
-x "make ..." v5.8-rc2. arm{64} and x86{_64} have been boot tested
even though they have just been trivially touched (removal of the
HAVE_COPY_THREAD_TLS macro from their Kconfig) because well they are
basically "core architectures" and since it is trivial to get your
hands on a useable image"

Pull thread updates from Christian Brauner:
"This contains the changes to add the missing support for attaching to
time namespaces via pidfds.
Last cycle setns() was changed to support attaching to multiple
namespaces atomically. This requires all namespaces to have a point of
no return where they can't fail anymore.
Specifically, <namespace-type>_install() is allowed to perform
permission checks and install the namespace into the new struct nsset
that it has been given but it is not allowed to make visible changes
to the affected task. Once <namespace-type>_install() returns,
anything that the given namespace type additionally requires to be
setup needs to ideally be done in a function that can't fail or if it
fails the failure must be non-fatal.
For time namespaces the relevant functions that fell into this
category were timens_set_vvar_page() and vdso_join_timens(). The
latter could still fail although it didn't need to. This function is
only implemented for vdso_join_timens() in current mainline. As
discussed on-list (cf. [1]), in order to make setns() support time
namespaces when attaching to multiple namespaces at once properly we
changed vdso_join_timens() to always succeed. So vdso_join_timens()
replaces the mmap_write_lock_killable() with mmap_read_lock().
Please note that arm is about to grow vdso support for time namespaces
(possibly this merge window). We've synced on this change and arm64
also uses mmap_read_lock(), i.e. makes vdso_join_timens() a function
that can't fail. Once the changes here and the arm64 changes have
landed, vdso_join_timens() should be turned into a void function so
it's obvious to callers and implementers on other architectures that
the expectation is that it can't fail.
We didn't do this right away because it would've introduced
unnecessary merge conflicts between the two trees for no major gain.
As always, tests included"

Pull execve updates from Eric Biederman:
"During the development of v5.7 I ran into bugs and quality of
implementation issues related to exec that could not be easily fixed
because of the way exec is implemented. So I have been diggin into
exec and cleaning up what I can.
This cycle I have been looking at different ideas and different
implementations to see what is possible to improve exec, and cleaning
the way exec interfaces with in kernel users. Only cleaning up the
interfaces of exec with rest of the kernel has managed to stabalize
and make it through review in time for v5.9-rc1 resulting in 2 sets of
changes this cycle.
- Implement kernel_execve
- Make the user mode driver code a better citizen
With kernel_execve the code size got a little larger as the copying of
parameters from userspace and copying of parameters from userspace is
now separate. The good news is kernel threads no longer need to play
games with set_fs to use exec. Which when combined with the rest of
Christophs set_fs changes should security bugs with set_fs much more
difficult"

Pull power management updates from Rafael Wysocki:
"The most significant change here is the extension of the Energy Model
to cover non-CPU devices (as well as CPUs) from Lukasz Luba.
There is also some new hardware support (Ice Lake server idle states
table for intel_idle, Sapphire Rapids and Power Limit 4 support in the
RAPL driver), some new functionality in the existing drivers (eg. a
new switch to disable/enable CPU energy-efficiency optimizations in
intel_pstate, delayed timers in devfreq), some assorted fixes (cpufreq
core, intel_pstate, intel_idle) and cleanups (eg. cpuidle-psci,
devfreq), including the elimination of W=1 build warnings from cpufreq
done by Lee Jones.
Specifics:
- Make the Energy Model cover non-CPU devices (Lukasz Luba).
- Add Ice Lake server idle states table to the intel_idle driver and
eliminate a redundant static variable from it (Chen Yu, Rafael
Wysocki).
- Eliminate all W=1 build warnings from cpufreq (Lee Jones).
- Add support for Sapphire Rapids and for Power Limit 4 to the Intel
RAPL power capping driver (Sumeet Pawnikar, Zhang Rui).
- Fix function name in kerneldoc comments in the idle_inject power
capping driver (Yangtao Li).
- Fix locking issues with cpufreq governors and drop a redundant
"weak" function definition from cpufreq (Viresh Kumar).
- Rearrange cpufreq to register non-modular governors at the
core_initcall level and allow the default cpufreq governor to be
specified in the kernel command line (Quentin Perret).
- Extend, fix and clean up the intel_pstate driver (Srinivas
Pandruvada, Rafael Wysocki):
* Add a new sysfs attribute for disabling/enabling CPU
energy-efficiency optimizations in the processor.
* Make the driver avoid enabling HWP if EPP is not supported.
* Allow the driver to handle numeric EPP values in the sysfs
interface and fix the setting of EPP via sysfs in the active
mode.
* Eliminate a static checker warning and clean up a kerneldoc
comment.
- Clean up some variable declarations in the powernv cpufreq driver
(Wei Yongjun).
- Fix up the ->enter_s2idle callback definition to cover the case
when it points to the same function as ->idle correctly (Neal Liu).
- Rearrange and clean up the PSCI cpuidle driver (Ulf Hansson).
- Make the PM core emit "changed" uevent when adding/removing the
"wakeup" sysfs attribute of devices (Abhishek Pandit-Subedi).
- Add a helper macro for declaring PM callbacks and use it in the MMC
jz4740 driver (Paul Cercueil).
- Fix white space in some places in the hibernate code and make the
system-wide PM code use "const char *" where appropriate (Xiang
Chen, Alexey Dobriyan).
- Add one more "unsafe" helper macro to the freezer to cover the NFS
use case (He Zhe).
- Change the language in the generic PM domains framework to use
parent/child terminology and clean up a typo and some comment
fromatting in that code (Kees Cook, Geert Uytterhoeven).

"A couple of subsystems have their own subsystem maintainers but choose
to have the code merged through the soc tree as upstream, as the code
tends to be used across multiple SoCs or has SoC specific drivers
itself:

Krzysztof Kozlowski takes ownership of the drivers/memory subsystem
and its drivers, starting out with a set of cleanup patches.
A larger driver for the Tegra memory controller that was
accidentally missed for v5.8 is now added.
- reset controllers:
Only minor updates to drivers/reset this time
- firmware:
The "turris mox" firmware driver gains support for signed firmware
blobs The tegra firmware driver gets extended to export some debug
information Various updates to i.MX firmware drivers, mostly
cosmetic
- ARM SCMI/SCPI:
A new mechanism for platform notifications is added, among a number
of minor changes.
- optee:
Probing of the TEE bus is rewritten to better support detection of
devices that depend on the tee-supplicant user space. A new
firmware based trusted platform module (fTPM) driver is added based
on OP-TEE
- SoC attributes:
A new driver is added to provide a generic soc_device for
identifying a machine through the SMCCC ARCH_SOC_ID firmware
interface rather than by probing SoC family specific registers.
The series also contains some cleanups to the common soc_device
code.
There are also a number of updates to SoC specific drivers, the main
ones are:
- Mediatek cmdq driver gains a few in-kernel interfaces
- Minor updates to Qualcomm RPMh, socinfo, rpm drivers, mostly adding
support for additional SoC variants
- The Qualcomm GENI core code gains interconnect path voting and
performance level support, and integrating this into a number of
device drivers.
- A new driver for Samsung Exynos5800 voltage coupler for

Pull ARM SoC DT updates from Arnd Bergmann:
"As usual, there are many patches addressing minor issues in existing
DTS files, such as DTC warnings, or adding support for additional
peripherals.
There are three added SoCs in existing product families:
- Amazon:
Alpine v3 is a 16-core Cortex-A72 SoC from Amazon's Annapurna Labs,
otherwise known as AL73400 or first-generation Graviton, and
following the already supported Cortex-A1`5 and Cortex-A57 based
Alpine chips. This one is added together with the official
Evaluation platform.
- Qualcomm:
The Snapdragon SDM630 platform is a family of mid-range mobile
phone chips from 2017 based on Cortex-A53 or Kryo 260 CPUs. A total
of five end-user products are added based on these, all Android
phones from Sony: Xperia 10, 10 Plus, XA2, XA2 Plus and XA2 Ultra.
- Renesas:
RZ/G2H (r8a774e1) is currently the top model in the Renesas RZ/G
family, and apparently closely related to the RZ/G2N and RZ/G2M
models we already support but has a faster GPU and additional
on-chip peripherals. It is added along with the HopeRun HiHope
RZ/G2H development board
A small number of new boards for already supported SoCs also debut:
- Allwinner sunxi:
Only one new machine, revision v1.2 of the Pine64 PinePhone
(non-Android) smartphone, containing minor changes compared to
earlier versions.
- Amlogic Meson:
WeTek Core2 is an Amlogic S912 (GXM) based Set-top-box
- Aspeed:
EthanolX is AMD's EPYC data center rerence platform, using an
ASpeed AST2600 baseboard management controller.
- Mediatek:
Lenovo IdeaPad Duet 10.1" (kukui/krane) is a new Chromebook based
on the MT8183 (Helio P60t) SoC.
- Nvidia Tegra:
ASUS Google Nexus 7 and Acer Iconia Tab A500 are two Android
tablets from around 2012 using Tegra 3 and Tegra 2, respectively.
Thanks to PostmarketOS, these can now run mainline kernels and
become useful again.
The Jetson Xavier NX Developer Kit uses a SoM and carrier board for
the Tegra194, their latest 64-bit chip based on Carmel CPU cores
and Volta graphics.
- NXP i.MX:
Five new boards based on the 32-bit i.MX6 series are added: The
MYiR MYS-6ULX single-board computer, and four different models of
industrial computers from Protonic.
- Qualcomm:
MikroTik RouterBoard 3011 is a rackmounted router based on the
32-bit IPQ8064 networking SoC
Three older phones get added, the Snapdragon 808 (msm8992) based
Xiaomi Libra (Mi 4C) and Microsoft Lumia 950, originally running
Windows Phone, and the Snapdragon 810 (msm8994) based Sony Xperia
Z5.
- Renesas:
In addition to the HiHope RZ/G2H board mentioned above, we gain
support for board versions 3.0 and 4.0 of the earlier RZ/G2M and
RZ/G2N reference boards. Beacon EmbeddedWorks adds another
SoM+Carrier development board for RZ/G2M.
- Rockchips:
Radxa Rock Pi N8 development board and the VMARC RK3288 SoM it is
based on, using the high-end 32-bit rk3288 SoC.
Notable updates to existing platforms are usually for added on-chip
peripherals, including:
- ASpeed AST2xxx (various)
- Allwinner (cpufreq, thermal, Pinephone touchscreen)
- Amlogic Meson (audio, gpu dvdfs, board updates)
- Arm Versatile
- Broadcom (board updates for switch ports, Raspberry pi clock updates)
- Hisilicon (various)
- Intel/Altera SoCFPGA (various)
- Marvell Armada 7xxx/8xxx (smmu)
- Marvell MMP (GPU on mmp2/mmp3)
- Mediatek mt8183 (USB, pericfg)
- NXP Layerscape (VPU, thermal, DSPI)
- NXP i.MX (VPU, bindings, board updates)
- Nvidia Tegra194 (GPU)
- Qualcomm (GPU, Interconnect, ...)
- Renesas R-Car (SPI, IPMMU, board updates)
- STMicroelectronics STM32 (various)
- Samsung Exynos (various)
- Socionext Uniphier (updates to serial, and pcie)
- TI K3 (serdes, usb3, audio, sd, chipid)
- TI OMAP (IPU/DSP remoteproc changes, dropping platform data)"

"HW support updates:
- Add uncore support for Intel Comet Lake
- Add RAPL support for Hygon Fam18h
- Add Intel "IIO stack to PMON mapping" support on Skylake-SP CPUs,
which enumerates per device performance counters via sysfs and
enables the perf stat --iiostat functionality
- Add support for Intel "Architectural LBRs", which generalized the
model specific LBR hardware tracing feature into a
model-independent, architected performance monitoring feature.
Usage is mostly seamless to tooling, as the pre-existing LBR
features are kept, but there's a couple of advantages under the
hood, such as faster context-switching, faster LBR reads, cleaner
exposure of LBR features to guest kernels, etc.
( Since architectural LBRs are supported via XSAVE, there's related
changes to the x86 FPU code as well. )
