Since commit 61a47c1a ("sysctl: Remove the sysctl system call"), sys_sysctl is actually unavailable: any input can only return an error. We have been warning about people using the sysctl system call for years and believe there are no more users. Even if there are users of this interface if they have not complained or fixed their code by now they probably are not going to, so there is no point in warning them any longer. So completely remove sys_sysctl on all architectures.

Patch series "mm: Page fault accounting cleanups", v5. This is v5 of the pf accounting cleanup series. It originates from Gerald Schaefer's report on an issue a week ago regarding to incorrect page fault accountings for retried page fault after commit 4064b982 ("mm: allow VM_FAULT_RETRY for multiple times"): https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200610174811.44b94525@thinkpad/ What this series did: - Correct page fault accounting: we do accounting for a page fault (no matter whether it's from #PF handling, or gup, or anything else) only with the one that completed the fault. For example, page fault retries should not be counted in page fault counters. Same to the perf events. - Unify definition of PERF_COUNT_SW_PAGE_FAULTS: currently this perf event is used in an adhoc way across different archs. Case (1): for many archs it's done at the entry of a page fault handler, so that it will also cover e.g. errornous faults. Case (2): for some other archs, it is only accounted when the page fault is resolved successfully. Case (3): there're still quite some archs that have not enabled this perf event. Since this series will touch merely all the archs, we unify this perf event to always follow case (1), which is the one that makes most sense. And since we moved the accounting into handle_mm_fault, the other two MAJ/MIN perf events are well taken care of naturally. - Unify definition of "major faults": the definition of "major fault" is slightly changed when used in accounting (not VM_FAULT_MAJOR). More information in patch 1. - Always account the page fault onto the one that triggered the page fault. This does not matter much for #PF handlings, but mostly for gup. More information on this in patch 25. Patchset layout: Patch 1: Introduced the accounting in handle_mm_fault(), not enabled. Patch 2-23: Enable the new accounting for arch #PF handlers one by one. Patch 24: Enable the new accounting for the rest outliers (gup, iommu, etc.) Patch 25: Cleanup GUP task_struct pointer since it's not needed any more This patch (of 25): This is a preparation patch to move page fault accountings into the general code in handle_mm_fault(). This includes both the per task flt_maj/flt_min counters, and the major/minor page fault perf events. To do this, the pt_regs pointer is passed into handle_mm_fault(). PERF_COUNT_SW_PAGE_FAULTS should still be kept in per-arch page fault handlers. So far, all the pt_regs pointer that passed into handle_mm_fault() is NULL, which means this patch should have no intented functional change. Suggested-by:

After removal of CONFIG_HAVE_MEMBLOCK_NODE_MAP we have two equivalent functions that call memory_present() for each region in memblock.memory: sparse_memory_present_with_active_regions() and membocks_present(). Moreover, all architectures have a call to either of these functions preceding the call to sparse_init() and in the most cases they are called one after the other. Mark the regions from memblock.memory as present during sparce_init() by making sparse_init() call memblocks_present(), make memblocks_present() and memory_present() functions static and remove redundant sparse_memory_present_with_active_regions() function. Also remove no longer required HAVE_MEMORY_PRESENT configuration option. Signed-off-by:

Patch series "mm: cleanup usage of <asm/pgalloc.h>" Most architectures have very similar versions of pXd_alloc_one() and pXd_free_one() for intermediate levels of page table. These patches add generic versions of these functions in <asm-generic/pgalloc.h> and enable use of the generic functions where appropriate. In addition, functions declared and defined in <asm/pgalloc.h> headers are used mostly by core mm and early mm initialization in arch and there is no actual reason to have the <asm/pgalloc.h> included all over the place. The first patch in this series removes unneeded includes of <asm/pgalloc.h> In the end it didn't work out as neatly as I hoped and moving pXd_alloc_track() definitions to <asm-generic/pgalloc.h> would require unnecessary changes to arches that have custom page table allocations, so I've decided to move lib/ioremap.c to mm/ and make pgalloc-track.h local to mm/. This patch (of 8): In most cases <asm/pgalloc.h> header is required only for allocations of page table memory. Most of the .c files that include that header do not use symbols declared in <asm/pgalloc.h> and do not require that header. As for the other header files that used to include <asm/pgalloc.h>, it is possible to move that include into the .c file that actually uses symbols from <asm/pgalloc.h> and drop the include from the header file. The process was somewhat automated using sed -i -E '/[<"]asm\/pgalloc\.h/d' \ $(grep -L -w -f /tmp/xx \ $(git grep -E -l '[<"]asm/pgalloc\.h')) where /tmp/xx contains all the symbols defined in arch/*/include/asm/pgalloc.h.

Some Makefiles already pass -fno-stack-protector unconditionally. For example, arch/arm64/kernel/vdso/Makefile, arch/x86/xen/Makefile. No problem report so far about hard-coding this option.

It's actually easier to define a separate regset that would provide what we need, rather than trying to cobble that from the one PTRACE_GETREGSET uses. Extra ->get() instances do not amount to much code and once we get the conversion of ->get() to new API (dependent upon the lack of weird callers of ->get()) they'll shrink a lot, along with the rest of ->get() instances...

As promised in the previous patch, this moves the process creation helpers into a common process.c file that is shared between sparc and sparc64. It allows us to get rid of quite a bit custom assembler and the to remove the separe 32bit specific sparc_do_fork() call. One thing to note, is that when clone() was called with a separate stack for the child the assembler would align it. But copy_thread() has always been doing that too so that line wasn't needed and can thus simply be removed. Signed-off-by:

This is part of a larger series that aims at getting rid of the copy_thread()/copy_thread_tls() split that makes the process creation codepaths in the kernel more convoluted and error-prone than they need to be. It also unblocks implementing clone3() on architectures not support copy_thread_tls(). Any architecture that wants to implement clone3() will need to select HAVE_COPY_THREAD_TLS and thus need to implement copy_thread_tls(). So both goals are connected but independently beneficial. HAVE_COPY_THREAD_TLS means that a given architecture supports CLONE_SETTLS and not setting it should usually mean that the architectures doesn't implement it but that's not how things are. In fact all architectures support CLONE_TLS it's just that they don't follow the calling convention that HAVE_COPY_THREAD_TLS implies. That means all architectures can be switched over to select HAVE_COPY_THREAD_TLS. Once that is done we can remove that macro (yay, less code), the unnecessary do_fork() export in kernel/fork.c, and also rename copy_thread_tls() back to copy_thread(). At this point copy_thread() becomes the main architecture specific part of process creation but it will be the same layout and calling convention for all architectures. (Once that is done we can probably cleanup each copy_thread() function even more but that's for the future.) Since sparc does support CLONE_SETTLS there's no reason to not select HAVE_COPY_THREAD_TLS. This brings us one step closer to getting rid of the copy_thread()/copy_thread_tls() split we still have and ultimately the HAVE_COPY_THREAD_TLS define in general. A lot of architectures have already converted and sparc is one of the few hat haven't yet. This also unblocks implementing the clone3() syscall on sparc which I will follow up later (if no one gets there before me). Once that is done we can get of another ARCH_WANTS_* macro. This patch just switches sparc64 over to HAVE_COPY_THREAD_TLS but not sparc32 which will be done in the next patch. Once Any architecture that supports HAVE_COPY_THREAD_TLS cannot call the do_fork() helper anymore. This is fine and intended since it should be removed in favor of the new, cleaner _do_fork() calling convention based on struct kernel_clone_args. In fact, most architectures have already switched. With this patch, sparc joins the other arches which can't use the fork(), vfork(), clone(), clone3() syscalls directly and who follow the new process creation calling convention that is based on struct kernel_clone_args which we introduced a while back. This means less custom assembly in the architectures entry path to set up the registers before calling into the process creation helper and it is easier to to support new features without having to adapt calling conventions. It also unifies all process creation paths between fork(), vfork(), clone(), and clone3(). (We can't fix the ABI nightmare that legacy clone() is but we can prevent stuff like this happening in the future.) Note that sparc can't easily call into the syscalls directly because of its return value conventions when a new process is created which needs to clobber the UREG_I1 register in copy_thread{_tls()} and it needs to restore it if process creation fails. That's not a big deal since the new process creation calling convention makes things simpler. This removes sparc_do_fork() and replaces it with 3 clean helpers, sparc_fork(), sparc_vfork(), and sparc_clone(). That means a little more C code until the next patch unifies sparc 32bit and sparc64. It has the advantage that we can remove quite a bit of assembler and it makes the whole syscall.S process creation bits easier to read. The follow-up patch will remove the custom sparc_do_fork() helper for 32bi sparc and move sparc_fork(), sparc_vfork(), and sparc_clone() into a common process.c file. This allows us to remove quite a bit of custom assembly form 32bit sparc's entry.S file too and allows to remove even more code because now all helpers are shared between 32bit sparc and sparc64 instead of having to maintain two separate sparc_do_fork() implementations. For some more context, please see: commit 606e9ad2 Merge: ac61145a 457677c7 Author: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Date: Sat Jan 11 15:33:48 2020 -0800 Merge tag 'clone3-tls-v5.5-rc6' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/brauner/linux Pull thread fixes from Christian Brauner: "This contains a series of patches to fix CLONE_SETTLS when used with clone3(). The clone3() syscall passes the tls argument through struct clone_args instead of a register. This means, all architectures that do not implement copy_thread_tls() but still support CLONE_SETTLS via copy_thread() expecting the tls to be located in a register argument based on clone() are currently unfortunately broken. Their tls value will be garbage. The patch series fixes this on all architectures that currently define __ARCH_WANT_SYS_CLONE3. It also adds a compile-time check to ensure that any architecture that enables clone3() in the future is forced to also implement copy_thread_tls(). My ultimate goal is to get rid of the copy_thread()/copy_thread_tls() split and just have copy_thread_tls() at some point in the not too distant future (Maybe even renaming copy_thread_tls() back to simply copy_thread() once the old function is ripped from all arches). This is dependent now on all arches supporting clone3(). While all relevant arches do that now there are still four missing: ia64, m68k, sh and sparc. They have the system call reserved, but not implemented. Once they all implement clone3() we can get rid of ARCH_WANT_SYS_CLONE3 and HAVE_COPY_THREAD_TLS. Note that in the meantime, m68k has already switched to the new calling convention. Signed-off-by:

Since commit 84af7a61 ("checkpatch: kconfig: prefer 'help' over '---help---'"), the number of '---help---' has been gradually decreasing, but there are still more than 2400 instances. This commit finishes the conversion. While I touched the lines, I also fixed the indentation. There are a variety of indentation styles found. a) 4 spaces + '---help---' b) 7 spaces + '---help---' c) 8 spaces + '---help---' d) 1 space + 1 tab + '---help---' e) 1 tab + '---help---' (correct indentation) f) 1 tab + 1 space + '---help---' g) 1 tab + 2 spaces + '---help---' In order to convert all of them to 1 tab + 'help', I ran the following commend: $ find . -name 'Kconfig*' | xargs sed -i 's/^[[:space:]]*---help---/\thelp/' Signed-off-by:

All architectures define pte_index() as (address >> PAGE_SHIFT) & (PTRS_PER_PTE - 1) and all architectures define pte_offset_kernel() as an entry in the array of PTEs indexed by the pte_index(). For the most architectures the pte_offset_kernel() implementation relies on the availability of pmd_page_vaddr() that converts a PMD entry value to the virtual address of the page containing PTEs array. Let's move x86 definitions of the PTE accessors to the generic place in <linux/pgtable.h> and then simply drop the respective definitions from the other architectures. The architectures that didn't provide pmd_page_vaddr() are updated to have that defined. The generic implementation of pte_offset_kernel() can be overridden by an architecture and alpha makes use of this because it has special ordering requirements for its version of pte_offset_kernel().

The replacement of <asm/pgrable.h> with <linux/pgtable.h> made the include of the latter in the middle of asm includes.

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. Signed-off-by:
