Kernel-side struct msghdr is (currently) using the same layout as
userland one, but it's not a one-to-one copy - even without considering
32bit compat issues, we have msg_iov, msg_name and msg_control copied
to kernel[1]. It's fairly localized, so we get away with a few functions
where that knowledge is needed (and we could shrink that set even
more). Pretty much everything deals with the kernel-side variant and
the few places that want userland one just use a bunch of force-casts
to paper over the differences.
The thing is, kernel-side definition of struct msghdr is *not* exposed
in include/uapi - libc doesn't see it, etc. So we can add struct user_msghdr,
with proper annotations and let the few places that ever deal with those
beasts use it for userland pointers. Saner typechecking aside, that will
allow to change the layout of kernel-side msghdr - e.g. replace
msg_iov/msg_iovlen there with struct iov_iter, getting rid of the need
to modify the iovec as we copy data to/from it, etc.
We could introduce kernel_msghdr instead, but that would create much more
noise - the absolute majority of the instances would need to have the
type switched to kernel_msghdr and definition of struct msghdr in
include/linux/socket.h is not going to be seen by userland anyway.
This commit just introduces user_msghdr and switches the few places that
are dealing with userland-side msghdr to it.
[1] actually, it's even trickier than that - we copy msg_control for
sendmsg, but keep the userland address on recvmsg.

Handling multiple PMUs using a single hotplug notifier requires a list
of PMUs to be maintained, with synchronisation in the probe, remove, and
notify paths. This is error-prone and makes the code much harder to
maintain.
Instead of using a single notifier, we can dynamically allocate a
notifier block per-PMU. The end result is the same, but the list of PMUs
is implicit in the hotplug notifier list rather than within a perf-local
data structure, which makes the code far easier to handle.

Currently the percpu_pmu pointers used as percpu_irq dev_id values are
defined separately from the other per-cpu accounting data, which make
dynamically allocating the data (as will be required for systems with
heterogeneous CPUs) difficult.
This patch moves the percpu_pmu pointers into pmu_hw_events (which is
itself allocated per cpu), which will allow for easier dynamic
allocation. Both percpu and regular irqs are requested using percpu_pmu
pointers as tokens, freeing us from having to know whether an irq is
percpu within the handler, and thus avoiding a radix tree lookup on the
handler path.

Commit 3fc2c83087 (ARM: perf: remove event limit from pmu_hw_events) got
rid of the upper limit on the number of events an arm_pmu could handle,
but introduced additional complexity and places a burden on each PMU
driver to allocate accounting data somehow. So far this has not
generally been useful as the only users of arm_pmu are the CPU backend
and the CCI driver.
Now that the CCI driver plugs into the perf subsystem directly, we can
remove some of the complexities that get in the way of supporting
heterogeneous CPU PMUs.
This patch restores the original limits on pmu_hw_events fields such
that the pmu_hw_events data can be allocated as a contiguous block. This
will simplify dynamic pmu_hw_events allocation in later patches.

For systems with heterogeneous CPUs (e.g. big.LITTLE systems) the PMUs
can be different in each cluster, and not all events can be migrated
between clusters. To allow userspace to deal with this, it must be
possible to address each PMU independently.
This patch changes PMUs to be registered with dynamic (IDR) types,
allowing them to be targeted individually. Each PMU's type can be found
in ${SYSFS_ROOT}/bus/event_source/devices/${PMU_NAME}/type.
From userspace, raw events can be targeted at a specific PMU:
$ perf stat -e ${PMU_NAME}/config=V,config1=V1,.../
Doing this does not break existing tools which use existing perf types:
when perf core can't find a PMU of matching type (in perf_init_event)
it'll iterate over the set of all PMUs. If a compatible PMU exists,
it'll be found eventually. If more than one compatible PMU exists, the
event will be handled by whichever PMU happens to be earlier in the pmus
list (which currently will be the last compatible PMU registered).

The current PMU probing logic consists of a single switch statement,
which means that the core arm_pmu core in perf_event_cpu.c needs to know
about every CPU PMU variant supported by a driver using the arm_pmu
framework. This makes it rather difficult to decouple the drivers from
the (otherwise generic) probing code.
The patch refactors that switch statement to a table-driven lookup,
separating the logic and knowledge (in the form of the table). Later
patches will split the table across the relevant PMU drivers, which can
pass their tables to the generic probing function.

Most of the pr_info format strings in perf_event_cpu.c are missing
newlines. Currently we get away with this as the format strings for
subsequent calls to printk (including all pr_* calls) begin with a log
prefix, and the printk core adds the omitted newline for this case.
While generates the output we expect, we probably should not rely on the
format of successive printk calls in order to get legible output.
This patch adds the missing newlines to pr_info format strings in
perf_event_cpu.c, making them consistent with the format strings for
other pr_info, warn, and pr_err calls, and preventing potentially
illegible output if the next printk/pr_* format string doesn't begin
with a log prefix.

The ARM callchain handling code is currently bundled with the ARM PMU
management code, despite the two having no dependency on each other.
This bundling has the unfortunate property of making callchain handling
depend on CONFIG_HW_PERF_EVENTS, even though the callchain handling
could be applied to software events in the absence of PMU hardware
support.
This patch separates the two, placing the callchain handling in
perf_callchain.c and making it depend on CONFIG_PERF_EVENTS rather than
CONFIG_HW_PERF_EVENTS, enabling callchain recording on kernels built
without hardware perf event support.

Pull audit updates from Eric Paris:
"So this change across a whole bunch of arches really solves one basic
problem. We want to audit when seccomp is killing a process. seccomp
hooks in before the audit syscall entry code. audit_syscall_entry
took as an argument the arch of the given syscall. Since the arch is
part of what makes a syscall number meaningful it's an important part
of the record, but it isn't available when seccomp shoots the
syscall...
For most arch's we have a better way to get the arch (syscall_get_arch)
So the solution was two fold: Implement syscall_get_arch() everywhere
there is audit which didn't have it. Use syscall_get_arch() in the
seccomp audit code. Having syscall_get_arch() everywhere meant it was
a useless flag on the stack and we could get rid of it for the typical
syscall entry.

These stock GCC versions miscompile the kernel by incorrectly optimising
the function epilogue code - by first increasing the stack pointer, and
then loading entries from below the stack. This means that an opportune
interrupt or exception will corrupt the current function's saved state,
which may result in the parent function seeing different register
values.
As this bug has been known to result in corrupted filesystems, and these
buggy compiler versions seem to be frequently used, we have little
option but to blacklist these compiler versions.
Distributions may have fixed PR58854, but as their compilers are totally
indistinguishable from the buggy versions, it is unfortunate that this
also results in those also being blacklisted. Given the filesystem
corruption potential of the original, this is the lesser evil. People
who want to build with their fixed compiler versions will need to adjust
the kernel source. (Distros need to think about the implications of
fixing such a compiler bug, and consider how to ensure that their fixed
compiler versions can be detected if they wish to avoid this.)

This pull request contains Christoph's patches to clean up the

with this_cpu_ptr() and __this_cpu_ptr() with raw_cpu_ptr().
Unfortunately, the former sometimes is tricky thanks to C being a bit
messy with the distinction between lvalues and pointers, which led to
a rather ugly solution for cpumask_var_t involving the introduction of
this_cpu_cpumask_var_ptr().
This converts most of the uses but not all. Christoph will follow up

The different architectures used their own (and different) declarations:
extern __visible const void __nosave_begin, __nosave_end;
extern const void __nosave_begin, __nosave_end;

Consolidate them using the first variant in <asm/sections.h>.

Pull irq updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"The irq departement delivers:
- a cleanup series to get rid of mindlessly copied code.
- another bunch of new pointlessly different interrupt chip drivers.
Adding homebrewn irq chips (and timers) to SoCs must provide a
value add which is beyond the imagination of mere mortals.
- the usual SoC irq controller updates, IOW my second cat herding
project"

This patch changes the __init_end address to a
page align address, so that free_initmem() can
free the whole .init section, because if the end
address is not page aligned, it will round down to
a page align address, then the tail unligned page
will not be freed.

When compiling kprobes-test-arm.c the following error has been observed
/tmp/ccoT403o.s:21439: Error: bad immediate value for offset (4168)
This is caused by the compiler spilling it's literal pool too far away
from the site which is trying to reference it with a PC relative load.
This arises because the compiler is underestimating the size of the
inline assembler code present, which apparently it approximates as 4
bytes per line or instruction.
We fix this problem by moving the operations which generate more than
4 bytes out of the text section. Specifically, moving the .ascii
directives to the .rodata section.

The warning was introduced in 2009 (commit 4bf1fa5a34aa ([ARM] 5613/1:
implement CALLER_ADDRESSx)). The only "problem" here is that
CALLER_ADDRESSx for x > 1 returns NULL which doesn't do much harm.
The drawback of implementing a fix (i.e. use unwind tables to implement CALLER_ADDRESSx) is that much of the unwinder code would need to be marked as not
traceable.

With compilers which follow the C99 standard (like modern versions of gcc and
clang), "extern inline" does the wrong thing (emits code for an externally
linkable version of the inline function). In this case using static inline
and removing the NULL version of return_address in return_address.c does
the right thing.

The sigpage is currently placed alongside shared libraries etc in the
address space. Similar to what x86_64 does for its VDSO, place the
sigpage at a randomized offset above the stack so that learning the
base address of the sigpage doesn't help expose where shared libraries
are loaded in the address space (and vice versa).

_install_special_mapping allows the VMA to be identifed in
/proc/pid/maps without the use of arch_vma_name, providing a
slight net reduction in object size:

Writes to the control register can be very expensive, taking around a

Implementing a restart handler in a module don't make sense as there would
be no guarantee that the module is loaded when a restart is needed.
Unexport arm_pm_restart to ensure that no one gets the idea to do it
anyway.
