Merge PTRACE_SETREGSET leakage fixes from Dave Martin:
 "This series is the collection of fixes I proposed on this topic, that
  have not yet appeared upstream or in the stable branches,

  The issue can leak kernel stack, but doesn't appear to allow userspace
  to attack the kernel directly.  The affected architectures are c6x,
  h8300, metag, mips and sparc.

  [ Mark Salter points out that c6x has no MMU or other mechanism to
    prevent userspace access to kernel code or data on c6x, but it
    doesn't hurt to clean that case up too. ]

  The bugs arise from use of user_regset_copyin(). Users of
  user_regset_copyin() can work in one of two ways:

   1) Copy directly to thread_struct or equivalent. (This seems to be
      the design assumption of the regset API, and is the most common
      approach.)

   2) Copy to a local variable and then transfer to thread_struct. (A
      significant minority of cases.)

  Buggy code typically involves approach 2"

* emailed patches from Dave Martin &lt;Dave.Martin@arm.com&gt;:
  sparc/ptrace: Preserve previous registers for short regset write
  mips/ptrace: Preserve previous registers for short regset write
  metag/ptrace: Reject partial NT_METAG_RPIPE writes
  metag/ptrace: Provide default TXSTATUS for short NT_PRSTATUS
  metag/ptrace: Preserve previous registers for short regset write
  h8300/ptrace: Fix incorrect register transfer count
  c6x/ptrace: Remove useless PTRACE_SETREGSET implementation

gpr_set won't work correctly and can never have been tested, and the
correct behaviour is not clear due to the endianness-dependent task
layout.

So, just remove it.  The core code will now return -EOPNOTSUPPORT when
trying to set NT_PRSTATUS on this architecture until/unless a correct
implementation is supplied.

We are going to split &lt;linux/sched/task_stack.h&gt; out of &lt;linux/sched.h&gt;, which
will have to be picked up from other headers and a couple of .c files.

Create a trivial placeholder &lt;linux/sched/task_stack.h&gt; file that just
maps to &lt;linux/sched.h&gt; to make this patch obviously correct and
bisectable.

Include the new header in the files that are going to need it.

<title>kprobes: move kprobe declarations to asm-generic/kprobes.h</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.0xinfinity.dev/distro/kernel.git/commit/?id=7d134b2ce639448199052fd573a324f7e7cd5ed8'/>
<id>urn:sha1:7d134b2ce639448199052fd573a324f7e7cd5ed8</id>
<content type='text'>
Often all is needed is these small helpers, instead of compiler.h or a
full kprobes.h.  This is important for asm helpers, in fact even some
asm/kprobes.h make use of these helpers...  instead just keep a generic
asm file with helpers useful for asm code with the least amount of
clutter as possible.

Likewise we need now to also address what to do about this file for both
when architectures have CONFIG_HAVE_KPROBES, and when they do not.  Then
for when architectures have CONFIG_HAVE_KPROBES but have disabled
CONFIG_KPROBES.

Right now most asm/kprobes.h do not have guards against CONFIG_KPROBES,
this means most architecture code cannot include asm/kprobes.h safely.
Correct this and add guards for architectures missing them.
Additionally provide architectures that not have kprobes support with
the default asm-generic solution.  This lets us force asm/kprobes.h on
the header include/linux/kprobes.h always, but most importantly we can
now safely include just asm/kprobes.h on architecture code without
bringing the full kitchen sink of header files.

Two architectures already provided a guard against CONFIG_KPROBES on its
kprobes.h: sh, arch.  The rest of the architectures needed gaurds added.
We avoid including any not-needed headers on asm/kprobes.h unless
kprobes have been enabled.

In a subsequent atomic change we can try now to remove compiler.h from
include/linux/kprobes.h.

During this sweep I've also identified a few architectures defining a
common macro needed for both kprobes and ftrace, that of the definition
of the breakput instruction up.  Some refer to this as
BREAKPOINT_INSTRUCTION.  This must be kept outside of the #ifdef
CONFIG_KPROBES guard.

Pull rdma DMA mapping updates from Doug Ledford:
 "Drop IB DMA mapping code and use core DMA code instead.

  Bart Van Assche noted that the ib DMA mapping code was significantly
  similar enough to the core DMA mapping code that with a few changes it
  was possible to remove the IB DMA mapping code entirely and switch the
  RDMA stack to use the core DMA mapping code.

  This resulted in a nice set of cleanups, but touched the entire tree
  and has been kept separate for that reason."

<content type='text'>
cputime_t is now only used by two architectures:

	* powerpc (when CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_NATIVE=y)
	* s390

And since the core doesn't use it anymore, we don't need any arch support
from the others. So we can remove their stub implementations.

A final cleanup would be to provide an efficient pure arch
implementation of cputime_to_nsec() for s390 and powerpc and finally
remove include/linux/cputime.h .
