Merge non-faulting memory access cleanups from Christoph Hellwig:
 "Andrew and I decided to drop the patches implementing your suggested
  rename of the probe_kernel_* and probe_user_* helpers from -mm as
  there were way to many conflicts.

  After -rc1 might be a good time for this as all the conflicts are
  resolved now"

This also adds a type safety checking patch on top of the renaming
series to make the subtle behavioral difference between 'get_user()' and
'get_kernel_nofault()' less potentially dangerous and surprising.

* emailed patches from Christoph Hellwig &lt;hch@lst.de&gt;:
  maccess: make get_kernel_nofault() check for minimal type compatibility
  maccess: rename probe_kernel_address to get_kernel_nofault
  maccess: rename probe_user_{read,write} to copy_{from,to}_user_nofault
  maccess: rename probe_kernel_{read,write} to copy_{from,to}_kernel_nofault

<content type='text'>
There is a regular need in the kernel to provide a way to declare having a
dynamically sized set of trailing elements in a structure. Kernel code should
always use “flexible array members”[1] for these cases. The older style of
one-element or zero-length arrays should no longer be used[2].

This change converts the existing mmap_sem rwsem calls to use the new mmap
locking API instead.

The change is generated using coccinelle with the following rule:

The replacement of &lt;asm/pgrable.h&gt; with &lt;linux/pgtable.h&gt; made the include
of the latter in the middle of asm includes.  Fix this up with the aid of
the below script and manual adjustments here and there.

	import sys
	import re

	if len(sys.argv) is not 3:
	    print "USAGE: %s &lt;file&gt; &lt;header&gt;" % (sys.argv[0])
	    sys.exit(1)

	hdr_to_move="#include &lt;linux/%s&gt;" % sys.argv[2]
	moved = False
	in_hdrs = False

	with open(sys.argv[1], "r") as f:
	    lines = f.readlines()
	    for _line in lines:
		line = _line.rstrip('
')
		if line == hdr_to_move:
		    continue
		if line.startswith("#include &lt;linux/"):
		    in_hdrs = True
		elif not moved and in_hdrs:

The include/linux/pgtable.h is going to be the home of generic page table
manipulation functions.

Start with moving asm-generic/pgtable.h to include/linux/pgtable.h and
make the latter include asm/pgtable.h.

<title>mm: don't include asm/pgtable.h if linux/mm.h is already included</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.0xinfinity.dev/distro/kernel.git/commit/?id=e31cf2f4ca422ac9b14ecc4a1295b8977a20f812'/>
<id>urn:sha1:e31cf2f4ca422ac9b14ecc4a1295b8977a20f812</id>
<content type='text'>
Patch series "mm: consolidate definitions of page table accessors", v2.

The low level page table accessors (pXY_index(), pXY_offset()) are
duplicated across all architectures and sometimes more than once.  For
instance, we have 31 definition of pgd_offset() for 25 supported
architectures.

Most of these definitions are actually identical and typically it boils
down to, e.g.

static inline unsigned long pmd_index(unsigned long address)
{
        return (address &gt;&gt; PMD_SHIFT) &amp; (PTRS_PER_PMD - 1);
}

static inline pmd_t *pmd_offset(pud_t *pud, unsigned long address)
{
        return (pmd_t *)pud_page_vaddr(*pud) + pmd_index(address);
}

These definitions can be shared among 90% of the arches provided
XYZ_SHIFT, PTRS_PER_XYZ and xyz_page_vaddr() are defined.

For architectures that really need a custom version there is always
possibility to override the generic version with the usual ifdefs magic.

These patches introduce include/linux/pgtable.h that replaces
include/asm-generic/pgtable.h and add the definitions of the page table
accessors to the new header.

This patch (of 12):

The linux/mm.h header includes &lt;asm/pgtable.h&gt; to allow inlining of the
functions involving page table manipulations, e.g.  pte_alloc() and
pmd_alloc().  So, there is no point to explicitly include &lt;asm/pgtable.h&gt;
in the files that include &lt;linux/mm.h&gt;.

The include statements in such cases are remove with a simple loop:

	for f in $(git grep -l "include &lt;linux/mm.h&gt;") ; do
		sed -i -e '/include &lt;asm\/pgtable.h&gt;/ d' $f
	done

Now the last users of show_stack() got converted to use an explicit log

<id>urn:sha1:ffdac29e40545cfb21d347c67daeb72541792ec8</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently, the log-level of show_stack() depends on a platform
realization.  It creates situations where the headers are printed with
lower log level or higher than the stacktrace (depending on a platform or
user).

Furthermore, it forces the logic decision from user to an architecture
side.  In result, some users as sysrq/kdb/etc are doing tricks with
temporary rising console_loglevel while printing their messages.  And in
result it not only may print unwanted messages from other CPUs, but also
omit printing at all in the unlucky case where the printk() was deferred.

Introducing log-level parameter and KERN_UNSUPPRESSED [1] seems an easier
approach than introducing more printk buffers.  Also, it will consolidate
printings with headers.

Introduce show_stack_loglvl(), that eventually will substitute
show_stack().

Add log level argument to ia64_do_show_stack() as a preparation to
introduce show_stack_loglvl().  Also, make ia64_do_show_stack() static as
it's not used outside.
