commit 7697a0fe0154468f5df35c23ebd7aa48994c2cdc upstream.

Chromium sandbox apparently wants to deny statx [1] so it could properly
inspect arguments after the sandboxed process later falls back to fstat.
Because there's currently not a "fd-only" version of statx, so that the
sandbox has no way to ensure the path argument is empty without being
able to peek into the sandboxed process's memory. For architectures able
to do newfstatat though, glibc falls back to newfstatat after getting
-ENOSYS for statx, then the respective SIGSYS handler [2] takes care of
inspecting the path argument, transforming allowed newfstatat's into
fstat instead which is allowed and has the same type of return value.

But, as LoongArch is the first architecture to not have fstat nor
newfstatat, the LoongArch glibc does not attempt falling back at all
when it gets -ENOSYS for statx -- and you see the problem there!

Actually, back when the LoongArch port was under review, people were
aware of the same problem with sandboxing clone3 [3], so clone was
eventually kept. Unfortunately it seemed at that time no one had noticed
statx, so besides restoring fstat/newfstatat to LoongArch uapi (and
postponing the problem further), it seems inevitable that we would need
to tackle seccomp deep argument inspection.

However, this is obviously a decision that shouldn't be taken lightly,
so we just restore fstat/newfstatat by defining __ARCH_WANT_NEW_STAT
in unistd.h. This is the simplest solution for now, and so we hope the
community will tackle the long-standing problem of seccomp deep argument
inspection in the future [4][5].

Also add "newstat" to syscall_abis_64 in Makefile.syscalls due to
upstream asm-generic changes.

More infomation please reading this thread [6].

<title>LoongArch: KVM: Add software breakpoint support</title>

<id>urn:sha1:163e9fc6957fc24d1d6c0a30a3febfd2ecade039</id>
<content type='text'>
When VM runs in kvm mode, system will not exit to host mode when
executing a general software breakpoint instruction such as INSN_BREAK,
trap exception happens in guest mode rather than host mode. In order to
debug guest kernel on host side, one mechanism should be used to let VM
exit to host mode.

Here a hypercall instruction with a special code is used for software
breakpoint usage. VM exits to host mode and kvm hypervisor identifies
the special hypercall code and sets exit_reason with KVM_EXIT_DEBUG. And
then let qemu handle it.

Idea comes from ppc kvm, one api KVM_REG_LOONGARCH_DEBUG_INST is added
to get the hypercall code. VMM needs get sw breakpoint instruction with
this api and set the corresponding sw break point for guest kernel.

<title>kvm: replace __KVM_HAVE_READONLY_MEM with Kconfig symbol</title>

<id>urn:sha1:8886640dade4ae2595fcdce511c8bcc716aa47d3</id>
<content type='text'>
KVM uses __KVM_HAVE_* symbols in the architecture-dependent uapi/asm/kvm.h to mask
unused definitions in include/uapi/linux/kvm.h.  __KVM_HAVE_READONLY_MEM however
was nothing but a misguided attempt to define KVM_CAP_READONLY_MEM only on
architectures where KVM_CHECK_EXTENSION(KVM_CAP_READONLY_MEM) could possibly
return nonzero.  This however does not make sense, and it prevented userspace
from supporting this architecture-independent feature without recompilation.

Therefore, these days __KVM_HAVE_READONLY_MEM does not mask anything and
is only used in virt/kvm/kvm_main.c.  Userspace does not need to test it
and there should be no need for it to exist.  Remove it and replace it
with a Kconfig symbol within Linux source code.

<content type='text'>
This patch adds LSX (128bit SIMD) support for LoongArch KVM.

There will be LSX exception in KVM when guest use the LSX instructions.
KVM will enable LSX and restore the vector registers for guest and then
return to guest to continue running.

Loongson Binary Translation (LBT) is used to accelerate binary translation,
which contains 4 scratch registers (scr0 to scr3), x86/ARM eflags (eflags)
and x87 fpu stack pointer (ftop).

This patch support kernel to save/restore these registers, handle the LBT
exception and maintain sigcontext.

 "These are cleanups for architecture specific header files:

   - The asm/bitsperlong.h header no longer needs to be architecture
     specific on modern compilers, so use a generic version for newer

   - A cleanup for virt_to_pfn/virt_to_bus to have proper type checking,

Loongson-3A6000 and newer processors have hardware page table walker
(PTW) support. PTW can handle all fastpaths of TLBI/TLBL/TLBS/TLBM
exceptions by hardware, software only need to handle slowpaths (page
faults).

BTW, PTW doesn't append _PAGE_MODIFIED for page table entries, so we
change pmd_dirty() and pte_dirty() to also check _PAGE_DIRTY for the
"dirty" attribute.

<id>urn:sha1:616500232e632dba8b03981eeccadacf2fbf1c30</id>
<content type='text'>
Add LoongArch's vector extensions support, which including 128bit LSX
(i.e., Loongson SIMD eXtension) and 256bit LASX (i.e., Loongson Advanced
SIMD eXtension).

Linux kernel doesn't use vector itself, it only handle exceptions and
context save/restore. So it only needs a subset of these instructions:

* Vector load/store:   vld vst vldx vstx xvld xvst xvldx xvstx
* 8bit-elements move:  vpickve2gr.b xvpickve2gr.b vinsgr2vr.b xvinsgr2vr.b
* 16bit-elements move: vpickve2gr.h xvpickve2gr.h vinsgr2vr.h xvinsgr2vr.h
* 32bit-elements move: vpickve2gr.w xvpickve2gr.w vinsgr2vr.w xvinsgr2vr.w
* 64bit-elements move: vpickve2gr.d xvpickve2gr.d vinsgr2vr.d xvinsgr2vr.d
* Elements permute:    vpermi.w vpermi.d xvpermi.w xvpermi.d xvpermi.q

Introduce AS_HAS_LSX_EXTENSION and AS_HAS_LASX_EXTENSION to avoid non-
vector toolchains complains unsupported instructions.

<content type='text'>
Now we specify the minimal version of GCC as 5.1 and Clang/LLVM as 11.0.0
in Documentation/process/changes.rst, __CHAR_BIT__ and __SIZEOF_LONG__ are
usable, it is probably fine to unify the definition of __BITS_PER_LONG as
(__CHAR_BIT__ * __SIZEOF_LONG__) in asm-generic uapi bitsperlong.h.

In order to keep safe and avoid regression, only unify uapi bitsperlong.h
for some archs such as arm64, riscv and loongarch which are using newer
toolchains that have the definitions of __CHAR_BIT__ and __SIZEOF_LONG__.
