Pull asm-generic updates from Arnd Bergmann:
 "There are three sets of updates for 5.18 in the asm-generic tree:

   - The set_fs()/get_fs() infrastructure gets removed for good.

     This was already gone from all major architectures, but now we can
     finally remove it everywhere, which loses some particularly tricky
     and error-prone code. There is a small merge conflict against a
     parisc cleanup, the solution is to use their new version.

   - The nds32 architecture ends its tenure in the Linux kernel.

     The hardware is still used and the code is in reasonable shape, but
     the mainline port is not actively maintained any more, as all
     remaining users are thought to run vendor kernels that would never
     be updated to a future release.

   - A series from Masahiro Yamada cleans up some of the uapi header
     files to pass the compile-time checks"

There are no remaining callers of set_fs(), so CONFIG_SET_FS
can be removed globally, along with the thread_info field and
any references to it.

This turns access_ok() into a cheaper check against TASK_SIZE_MAX.

As CONFIG_SET_FS is now gone, drop all remaining references to
set_fs()/get_fs(), mm_segment_t, user_addr_max() and uaccess_kernel().

Pull signal/exit/ptrace updates from Eric Biederman:
 "This set of changes deletes some dead code, makes a lot of cleanups
  which hopefully make the code easier to follow, and fixes bugs found
  along the way.

  The end-game which I have not yet reached yet is for fatal signals
  that generate coredumps to be short-circuit deliverable from
  complete_signal, for force_siginfo_to_task not to require changing
  userspace configured signal delivery state, and for the ptrace stops
  to always happen in locations where we can guarantee on all
  architectures that the all of the registers are saved and available on
  the stack.

  Removal of profile_task_ext, profile_munmap, and profile_handoff_task
  are the big successes for dead code removal this round.

  A bunch of small bug fixes are included, as most of the issues
  reported were small enough that they would not affect bisection so I
  simply added the fixes and did not fold the fixes into the changes
  they were fixing.

  There was a bug that broke coredumps piped to systemd-coredump. I
  dropped the change that caused that bug and replaced it entirely with
  something much more restrained. Unfortunately that required some
  rebasing.

  Some successes after this set of changes: There are few enough calls
  to do_exit to audit in a reasonable amount of time. The lifetime of
  struct kthread now matches the lifetime of struct task, and the
  pointer to struct kthread is no longer stored in set_child_tid. The
  flag SIGNAL_GROUP_COREDUMP is removed. The field group_exit_task is
  removed. Issues where task-&gt;exit_code was examined with
  signal-&gt;group_exit_code should been examined were fixed.

  There are several loosely related changes included because I am
  cleaning up and if I don't include them they will probably get lost.

  The original postings of these changes can be found at:
     https://lkml.kernel.org/r/87a6ha4zsd.fsf@email.froward.int.ebiederm.org

     https://lkml.kernel.org/r/87r19opkx1.fsf_-_@email.froward.int.ebiederm.org

  I trimmed back the last set of changes to only the obviously correct
  once. Simply because there was less time for review than I had hoped"

There are two big uses of do_exit.  The first is it's design use to be
the guts of the exit(2) system call.  The second use is to terminate
a task after something catastrophic has happened like a NULL pointer
in kernel code.

Add a function make_task_dead that is initialy exactly the same as
do_exit to cover the cases where do_exit is called to handle
catastrophic failure.  In time this can probably be reduced to just a
light wrapper around do_task_dead. For now keep it exactly the same so
that there will be no behavioral differences introducing this new
concept.

Replace all of the uses of do_exit that use it for catastraphic
task cleanup with make_task_dead to make it clear what the code
is doing.

As part of this rename rewind_stack_do_exit
rewind_stack_and_make_dead.

<title>arm64/bpf: Remove 128MB limit for BPF JIT programs</title>
<updated>2021-11-08T21:16:26Z</updated>

<content type='text'>
Commit 91fc957c9b1d ("arm64/bpf: don't allocate BPF JIT programs in module
memory") restricts BPF JIT program allocation to a 128MB region to ensure
BPF programs are still in branching range of each other. However this
restriction should not apply to the aarch64 JIT, since BPF_JMP | BPF_CALL
are implemented as a 64-bit move into a register and then a BLR instruction -
which has the effect of being able to call anything without proximity
limitation.

The practical reason to relax this restriction on JIT memory is that 128MB of
JIT memory can be quickly exhausted, especially where PAGE_SIZE is 64KB - one
page is needed per program. In cases where seccomp filters are applied to
multiple VMs on VM launch - such filters are classic BPF but converted to
BPF - this can severely limit the number of VMs that can be launched. In a
world where we support BPF JIT always on, turning off the JIT isn't always an
option either.

<id>urn:sha1:2e77a62cb3a6d2eb9dd875516411bcd131dd04e7</id>
<content type='text'>
For inline assembly, we place exception fixups out-of-line in the
`.fixup` section such that these are out of the way of the fast path.
This has a few drawbacks:

* Since the fixup code is anonymous, backtraces will symbolize fixups as
  offsets from the nearest prior symbol, currently
  `__entry_tramp_text_end`. This is confusing, and painful to debug
  without access to the relevant vmlinux.

* Since the exception handler adjusts the PC to execute the fixup, and
  the fixup uses a direct branch back into the function it fixes,
  backtraces of fixups miss the original function. This is confusing,
  and violates requirements for RELIABLE_STACKTRACE (and therefore
  LIVEPATCH).

* Inline assembly and associated fixups are generated from templates,
  and we have many copies of logically identical fixups which only
  differ in which specific registers are written to and which address is
  branched to at the end of the fixup. This is potentially wasteful of
  I-cache resources, and makes it hard to add additional logic to fixups
  without significant bloat.

This patch address all three concerns for inline uaccess fixups by
adding a dedicated exception handler which updates registers in
exception context and subsequent returns back into the function which
faulted, removing the need for fixups specialized to each faulting
instruction.

Other than backtracing, there should be no functional change as a result
of this patch.

Since CNTVCTSS obey the same control bits as CNTVCT, add the necessary
decoding to the hook table. Note that there is no known user of
this at the moment.
