Pull more arm64 updates from Catalin Marinas:
 "A mix of fixes and clean-ups that turned up too late for the first
  pull request:

   - Restore terminal stack frame records. Their previous removal caused
     traces which cross secondary_start_kernel to terminate one entry
     too late, with a spurious "0" entry.

   - Fix boot warning with pseudo-NMI due to the way we manipulate the
     PMR register.

   - ACPI fixes: avoid corruption of interrupt mappings on watchdog
     probe failure (GTDT), prevent unregistering of GIC SGIs.

   - Force SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP as the only memory model, it saves with
     having to test all the other combinations.

   - Documentation fixes and updates: tagged address ABI exceptions on
     brk/mmap/mremap(), event stream frequency, update booting
     requirements on the configuration of traps"

<title>userfaultfd: add minor fault registration mode</title>

<id>urn:sha1:7677f7fd8be76659cd2d0db8ff4093bbb51c20e5</id>
<content type='text'>
Patch series "userfaultfd: add minor fault handling", v9.

Overview
========

This series adds a new userfaultfd feature, UFFD_FEATURE_MINOR_HUGETLBFS.
When enabled (via the UFFDIO_API ioctl), this feature means that any
hugetlbfs VMAs registered with UFFDIO_REGISTER_MODE_MISSING will *also*
get events for "minor" faults.  By "minor" fault, I mean the following
situation:

Let there exist two mappings (i.e., VMAs) to the same page(s) (shared
memory).  One of the mappings is registered with userfaultfd (in minor
mode), and the other is not.  Via the non-UFFD mapping, the underlying
pages have already been allocated &amp; filled with some contents.  The UFFD
mapping has not yet been faulted in; when it is touched for the first
time, this results in what I'm calling a "minor" fault.  As a concrete
example, when working with hugetlbfs, we have huge_pte_none(), but
find_lock_page() finds an existing page.

We also add a new ioctl to resolve such faults: UFFDIO_CONTINUE.  The idea
is, userspace resolves the fault by either a) doing nothing if the
contents are already correct, or b) updating the underlying contents using
the second, non-UFFD mapping (via memcpy/memset or similar, or something
fancier like RDMA, or etc...).  In either case, userspace issues
UFFDIO_CONTINUE to tell the kernel "I have ensured the page contents are
correct, carry on setting up the mapping".

Use Case
========

Consider the use case of VM live migration (e.g. under QEMU/KVM):

1. While a VM is still running, we copy the contents of its memory to a
   target machine. The pages are populated on the target by writing to the
   non-UFFD mapping, using the setup described above. The VM is still running
   (and therefore its memory is likely changing), so this may be repeated
   several times, until we decide the target is "up to date enough".

2. We pause the VM on the source, and start executing on the target machine.
   During this gap, the VM's user(s) will *see* a pause, so it is desirable to
   minimize this window.

3. Between the last time any page was copied from the source to the target, and
   when the VM was paused, the contents of that page may have changed - and
   therefore the copy we have on the target machine is out of date. Although we
   can keep track of which pages are out of date, for VMs with large amounts of
   memory, it is "slow" to transfer this information to the target machine. We
   want to resume execution before such a transfer would complete.

4. So, the guest begins executing on the target machine. The first time it
   touches its memory (via the UFFD-registered mapping), userspace wants to
   intercept this fault. Userspace checks whether or not the page is up to date,
   and if not, copies the updated page from the source machine, via the non-UFFD
   mapping. Finally, whether a copy was performed or not, userspace issues a
   UFFDIO_CONTINUE ioctl to tell the kernel "I have ensured the page contents
   are correct, carry on setting up the mapping".

We don't have to do all of the final updates on-demand. The userfaultfd manager
can, in the background, also copy over updated pages once it receives the map of
which pages are up-to-date or not.

Interaction with Existing APIs
==============================

Because this is a feature, a registered VMA could potentially receive both
missing and minor faults.  I spent some time thinking through how the
existing API interacts with the new feature:

UFFDIO_CONTINUE cannot be used to resolve non-minor faults, as it does not
allocate a new page.  If UFFDIO_CONTINUE is used on a non-minor fault:

- For non-shared memory or shmem, -EINVAL is returned.
- For hugetlb, -EFAULT is returned.

UFFDIO_COPY and UFFDIO_ZEROPAGE cannot be used to resolve minor faults.
Without modifications, the existing codepath assumes a new page needs to
be allocated.  This is okay, since userspace must have a second
non-UFFD-registered mapping anyway, thus there isn't much reason to want
to use these in any case (just memcpy or memset or similar).

- If UFFDIO_COPY is used on a minor fault, -EEXIST is returned.
- If UFFDIO_ZEROPAGE is used on a minor fault, -EEXIST is returned (or -EINVAL
  in the case of hugetlb, as UFFDIO_ZEROPAGE is unsupported in any case).
- UFFDIO_WRITEPROTECT simply doesn't work with shared memory, and returns
  -ENOENT in that case (regardless of the kind of fault).

Future Work
===========

This series only supports hugetlbfs.  I have a second series in flight to
support shmem as well, extending the functionality.  This series is more
mature than the shmem support at this point, and the functionality works
fully on hugetlbfs, so this series can be merged first and then shmem
support will follow.

This patch (of 6):

This feature allows userspace to intercept "minor" faults.  By "minor"
faults, I mean the following situation:

Let there exist two mappings (i.e., VMAs) to the same page(s).  One of the
mappings is registered with userfaultfd (in minor mode), and the other is
not.  Via the non-UFFD mapping, the underlying pages have already been
allocated &amp; filled with some contents.  The UFFD mapping has not yet been
faulted in; when it is touched for the first time, this results in what
I'm calling a "minor" fault.  As a concrete example, when working with
hugetlbfs, we have huge_pte_none(), but find_lock_page() finds an existing
page.

This commit adds the new registration mode, and sets the relevant flag on
the VMAs being registered.  In the hugetlb fault path, if we find that we
have huge_pte_none(), but find_lock_page() does indeed find an existing
page, then we have a "minor" fault, and if the VMA has the userfaultfd
registration flag, we call into userfaultfd to handle it.

This is implemented as a new registration mode, instead of an API feature.
This is because the alternative implementation has significant drawbacks
[1].

However, doing it this was requires we allocate a VM_* flag for the new
registration mode.  On 32-bit systems, there are no unused bits, so this
feature is only supported on architectures with
CONFIG_ARCH_USES_HIGH_VMA_FLAGS.  When attempting to register a VMA in
MINOR mode on 32-bit architectures, we return -EINVAL.

<title>mm/memtest: add ARCH_USE_MEMTEST</title>

early_memtest() does not get called from all architectures.  Hence
enabling CONFIG_MEMTEST and providing a valid memtest=[1..N] kernel
command line option might not trigger the memory pattern tests as would be
expected in normal circumstances.  This situation is misleading.

The change here prevents the above mentioned problem after introducing a
new config option ARCH_USE_MEMTEST that should be subscribed on platforms
that call early_memtest(), in order to enable the config CONFIG_MEMTEST.
Conversely CONFIG_MEMTEST cannot be enabled on platforms where it would
not be tested anyway.

Pull Kbuild updates from Masahiro Yamada:

 - Evaluate $(call cc-option,...) etc. only for build targets

 - Add CONFIG_VMLINUX_MAP to generate .map file when linking vmlinux

 - Remove unnecessary --gcc-toolchains Clang flag because the --prefix
   flag finds the toolchains

 - Do not pass Clang's --prefix flag when using the integrated as

 - Check the assembler version in Kconfig time

 - Add new CONFIG options, AS_VERSION, AS_IS_GNU, AS_IS_LLVM to clean up
   some dependencies in Kconfig

 - Fix invalid Module.symvers creation when building only modules
   without vmlinux

 - Fix false-positive modpost warnings when CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS is
   set, but there is no module to build

 - Refactor module installation Makefile

 - Support zstd for module compression

 - Convert alpha and ia64 to use generic shell scripts to generate the
   syscall headers

 - Add a new elfnote to indicate if the kernel was built with LTO, which
   will be used by pahole

 - Flatten the directory structure under include/config/ so CONFIG
   options and filenames match

 - Change the deb source package name from linux-$(KERNELRELEASE) to
   linux-upstream
