Pull thread_info update to move 'cpu' back from task_struct from Kees Cook:
 "Cross-architecture update to move task_struct::cpu back into
  thread_info on arm64, x86, s390, powerpc, and riscv. All Acked by arch
  maintainers.

  Quoting Ard Biesheuvel:

     'Move task_struct::cpu back into thread_info

      Keeping CPU in task_struct is problematic for architectures that
      define raw_smp_processor_id() in terms of this field, as it
      requires linux/sched.h to be included, which causes a lot of pain
      in terms of circular dependencies (aka 'header soup')

      This series moves it back into thread_info (where it came from)
      for all architectures that enable THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK, addressing
      the header soup issue as well as some pointless differences in the
      implementations of task_cpu() and set_task_cpu()'"

As for SVE we will track a per task SME vector length for tasks. Convert
the existing storage for the vector length into an array and update
fpsimd_flush_task() to initialise this in a function.

<content type='text'>
The CPU field will be moved back into thread_info even when
THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK is enabled, so add it back to arm64's definition of
struct thread_info.

Note that arm64 always has CONFIG_SMP=y so there is no point in guarding
the CPU field with an #ifdef.

<title>arm64: make _TIF_WORK_MASK bits contiguous</title>

<id>urn:sha1:870d16757ba8918c3f8cac162b9ca7669556dbab</id>
<content type='text'>
We need the bits of _TIF_WORK_MASK to be contiguous in order to to use
this as an immediate argument to an AND instruction in entry.S.

We happened to change these bits in commits:

  b5a5a01d8e9a ("arm64: uaccess: remove addr_limit_user_check()")
  192caabd4dd9 ("arm64: add support for TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL")

which each worked in isolation, but the merge resolution in commit:

  005b2a9dc819 ("Merge tag 'tif-task_work.arch-2020-12-14' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block")

happened to make the bits non-contiguous.

Fix this by moving TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL to be bit 6, which is contiguous
with the rest of _TIF_WORK_MASK.

Otherwise, we'll get a build-time failure as below:

   arch/arm64/kernel/entry.S: Assembler messages:
   arch/arm64/kernel/entry.S:733: Error: immediate out of range at operand 3 -- `and x2,x19,#((1&lt;&lt;1)|(1&lt;&lt;0)|(1&lt;&lt;2)|(1&lt;&lt;3)|(1&lt;&lt;4)|(1&lt;&lt;5)|(1&lt;&lt;7))'

Pull TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL updates from Jens Axboe:
 "This sits on top of of the core entry/exit and x86 entry branch from
  the tip tree, which contains the generic and x86 parts of this work.

  Here we convert the rest of the archs to support TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL.

  With that done, we can get rid of JOBCTL_TASK_WORK from task_work and
  signal.c, and also remove a deadlock work-around in io_uring around
  knowing that signal based task_work waking is invoked with the sighand
  wait queue head lock.

  The motivation for this work is to decouple signal notify based
  task_work, of which io_uring is a heavy user of, from sighand. The
  sighand lock becomes a huge contention point, particularly for
  threaded workloads where it's shared between threads. Even outside of
  threaded applications it's slower than it needs to be.

  Roman Gershman &lt;romger@amazon.com&gt; reported that his networked
  workload dropped from 1.6M QPS at 80% CPU to 1.0M QPS at 100% CPU
  after io_uring was changed to use TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL. The time was all
  spent hammering on the sighand lock, showing 57% of the CPU time there
  [1].

  There are further cleanups possible on top of this. One example is
  TIF_PATCH_PENDING, where a patch already exists to use
  TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL instead. Hopefully this will also lead to more
  consolidation, but the work stands on its own as well"

Now that set_fs() is gone, addr_limit_user_check() is redundant. Remove
the checks and associated thread flag.

To ensure that _TIF_WORK_MASK can be used as an immediate value in an
AND instruction (as it is in `ret_to_user`), TIF_MTE_ASYNC_FAULT is
renumbered to keep the constituent bits of _TIF_WORK_MASK contiguous.

There should be no functional change as a result of this patch.

<content type='text'>
Now that the uaccess primitives dont take addr_limit into account, we
have no need to manipulate this via set_fs() and get_fs(). Remove
support for these, along with some infrastructure this renders
redundant.

We no longer need to flip UAO to access kernel memory under KERNEL_DS,
and head.S unconditionally clears UAO for all kernel configurations via
an ERET in init_kernel_el. Thus, we don't need to dynamically flip UAO,
nor do we need to context-switch it. However, we still need to adjust
PAN during SDEI entry.

Masking of __user pointers no longer needs to use the dynamic value of
addr_limit, and can use a constant derived from the maximum possible
userspace task size. A new TASK_SIZE_MAX constant is introduced for
this, which is also used by core code. In configurations supporting
52-bit VAs, this may include a region of unusable VA space above a
48-bit TTBR0 limit, but never includes any portion of TTBR1.

Note that TASK_SIZE_MAX is an exclusive limit, while USER_DS and
KERNEL_DS were inclusive limits, and is converted to a mask by
subtracting one.

As the SDEI entry code repurposes the otherwise unnecessary
pt_regs::orig_addr_limit field to store the TTBR1 of the interrupted
context, for now we rename that to pt_regs::sdei_ttbr1. In future we can
consider factoring that out.

<content type='text'>
The Memory Tagging Extension has two modes of notifying a tag check
fault at EL0, configurable through the SCTLR_EL1.TCF0 field:

1. Synchronous raising of a Data Abort exception with DFSC 17.
2. Asynchronous setting of a cumulative bit in TFSRE0_EL1.

Add the exception handler for the synchronous exception and handling of
the asynchronous TFSRE0_EL1.TF0 bit setting via a new TIF flag in
do_notify_resume().

On a tag check failure in user-space, whether synchronous or
asynchronous, a SIGSEGV will be raised on the faulting thread.
