It would make more sense to pass char __user * instead of
char * in callers of do_mount() and do getname() inside do_mount().

... rather than doing that in the guts of ->load_binary().
[updated to fix the bug spotted by Shentino - for SIGSEGV we really need
something stronger than send_sig_info(); again, better do that in one place]

Pull networking updates from David Miller:
"Most notable changes in here:
1) By far the biggest accomplishment, thanks to a large range of
contributors, is the addition of multi-send for transmit. This is
the result of discussions back in Chicago, and the hard work of
several individuals.
Now, when the ->ndo_start_xmit() method of a driver sees
skb->xmit_more as true, it can choose to defer the doorbell
telling the driver to start processing the new TX queue entires.
skb->xmit_more means that the generic networking is guaranteed to
call the driver immediately with another SKB to send.
There is logic added to the qdisc layer to dequeue multiple
packets at a time, and the handling mis-predicted offloads in
software is now done with no locks held.
Finally, pktgen is extended to have a "burst" parameter that can
be used to test a multi-send implementation.
Several drivers have xmit_more support: i40e, igb, ixgbe, mlx4,
virtio_net
Adding support is almost trivial, so export more drivers to
support this optimization soon.
I want to thank, in no particular or implied order, Jesper
Dangaard Brouer, Eric Dumazet, Alexander Duyck, Tom Herbert, Jamal
Hadi Salim, John Fastabend, Florian Westphal, Daniel Borkmann,
David Tat, Hannes Frederic Sowa, and Rusty Russell.
2) PTP and timestamping support in bnx2x, from Michal Kalderon.
3) Allow adjusting the rx_copybreak threshold for a driver via
ethtool, and add rx_copybreak support to enic driver. From
Govindarajulu Varadarajan.
4) Significant enhancements to the generic PHY layer and the bcm7xxx
driver in particular (EEE support, auto power down, etc.) from
Florian Fainelli.
5) Allow raw buffers to be used for flow dissection, allowing drivers
to determine the optimal "linear pull" size for devices that DMA
into pools of pages. The objective is to get exactly the
necessary amount of headers into the linear SKB area pre-pulled,
but no more. The new interface drivers use is eth_get_headlen().
From WANG Cong, with driver conversions (several had their own
by-hand duplicated implementations) by Alexander Duyck and Eric
Dumazet.
6) Support checksumming more smoothly and efficiently for
encapsulations, and add "foo over UDP" facility. From Tom
Herbert.
7) Add Broadcom SF2 switch driver to DSA layer, from Florian
Fainelli.
8) eBPF now can load programs via a system call and has an extensive
testsuite. Alexei Starovoitov and Daniel Borkmann.
9) Major overhaul of the packet scheduler to use RCU in several major
areas such as the classifiers and rate estimators. From John
Fastabend.
10) Add driver for Intel FM10000 Ethernet Switch, from Alexander
Duyck.
11) Rearrange TCP_SKB_CB() to reduce cache line misses, from Eric
Dumazet.
12) Add Datacenter TCP congestion control algorithm support, From
Florian Westphal.
13) Reorganize sk_buff so that __copy_skb_header() is significantly
faster. From Eric Dumazet"

Pull ARM64 SoC changes from Arnd Bergmann:
"Starting with 3.18, we are merging SoC-specific changes for arm64
through the arm-soc tree, like we have been doing for arm32.
This time, there is only one set of changes, adding support for the
Cavium "Thunder" Soc family. Since the changes are relatively small,
this includes Kconfig, defconfig and DT changes.
If all goes well, we will never require adding actual C source code
for platform support in arm64, given that the architecture is more
clearly defined and we have moved out a lot of the platform specifics
into device drivers for arm32 already"

Pull ARM SoC cleanups from Arnd Bergmann:
"This time around, the cleanup branch contains mostly code removal. A
number of board files for at91, imx and msm have become obsolete
because of the DT conversion and are now ready to be removed. The

as this is being phased out, a lot of the original code is now unused

Pull KVM updates from Paolo Bonzini:
"Fixes and features for 3.18.
Apart from the usual cleanups, here is the summary of new features:
- s390 moves closer towards host large page support
- PowerPC has improved support for debugging (both inside the guest
and via gdbstub) and support for e6500 processors
- ARM/ARM64 support read-only memory (which is necessary to put
firmware in emulated NOR flash)
- x86 has the usual emulator fixes and nested virtualization
improvements (including improved Windows support on Intel and
Jailhouse hypervisor support on AMD), adaptive PLE which helps
overcommitting of huge guests. Also included are some patches that
make KVM more friendly to memory hot-unplug, and fixes for rare
caching bugs.
Two patches have trivial mm/ parts that were acked by Rik and Andrew.
Note: I will soon switch to a subkey for signing purposes"

It is currently possible to execve() an x32 executable on an x86_64
kernel that has only ia32 compat enabled. However all its syscalls
will fail, even _exit(). This usually causes it to segfault.
Change the ELF compat architecture check so that x32 executables are
rejected if we don't support the x32 ABI.

This adds hooks into the core powerpc mm code for cxl.
The core powerpc code sometimes uses local tlbie. Unfortunately this won't
work with the current cxl driver as it relies on snooping tlbie broadcasts.
The cxl hardware can have TLB entries invalidated via MMIO but this is not
currently supported by the driver. In future we can make local tlbie smarter so
that it invalidates cxl contexts via MMIO when it needs to but for now we have
this workaround.
This workaround checks for any active cxl contexts and if so, disables local
tlbie.
This also adds a hook for when SLBs are invalidated. This ensures any
corresponding SLBs in cxl are also invalidated at the same time. This is
required for segment demotion.

This adds a new function hash_page_mm() based on the existing hash_page().
This version allows any struct mm to be passed in, rather than assuming
current. This is useful for servicing co-processor faults which are not in the
context of the current running process.
We need to be careful here as the current hash_page() assumes current in a few
places.

Currently msi_bitmap_alloc_hwirqs() will round up any IRQ allocation requests
to the nearest power of 2. eg. ask for 5 IRQs and you'll get 8. This wastes a
lot of IRQs which can be a scarce resource.
For cxl we may require multiple IRQs for every context that is attached to the
accelerator. There may be 1000s of contexts attached, hence we can easily run
out of IRQs, especially if we are needlessly wasting them.
This changes the msi_bitmap_alloc_hwirqs() to allocate only the required number
of IRQs, hence avoiding this wastage. It keeps the natural alignment
requirement though.

Intel processors which don't report cache information via cpuid(2)
or cpuid(4) need quirk code in the legacy_cache_size callback to
report this data. For Intel that callback is is intel_size_cache().
This patch enables calling of cpu_detect_cache_sizes() inside of
init_intel() and hence the calling of the legacy_cache callback in
intel_size_cache(). Adding this call will ensure that PIII Tualatin
currently in intel_size_cache() and Quark SoC X1000 being added to
intel_size_cache() in this patch will report their respective cache
sizes.
This model of calling cpu_detect_cache_sizes() is consistent with
AMD/Via/Cirix/Transmeta and Centaur.
Also added is a string to idenitfy the Quark as Quark SoC X1000
giving better and more descriptive output via /proc/cpuinfo
Adding cpu_detect_cache_sizes to init_intel() will enable calling
of intel_size_cache() on Intel processors which currently no code
can reach. Therefore this patch will also re-enable reporting
of PIII Tualatin cache size information as well as add
Quark SoC X1000 support.

Quark SoC X1000 advertises Page Global Enable for it's
Translation Lookaside Buffer via cpuid. The silicon does not
in fact support PGE and hence will not flush the TLB when CR4.PGE
is rewritten. The Quark documentation makes clear the necessity to
instead rewrite CR3 in order to flush any TLB entries, irrespective
of the state of CR4.PGE or an individual PTE.PGE
See Intel Quark Core DevMan_001.pdf section 6.4.11
In setup.c setup_arch() the code will load_cr3() and then do a
__flush_tlb_all().
On Quark the entire TLB will be flushed at the load_cr3().
The __flush_tlb_all() have no effect and can be safely ignored.
Later on in the boot process we switch off the flag for cpu_has_pge()
which means that subsequent calls to __flush_tlb_all() will
call __flush_tlb() not __flush_tlb_global() flushing the TLB in the
correct way via load_cr3() not CR4.PGE rewrite
This patch documents the behaviour of flushing the TLB for Quark in
setup_arch()

catalog_read() implements the read interface for the sysfs file
/sys/bus/event_source/devices/hv_24x7/interface/catalog
It essentially takes a buffer, an offset and count as parameters
to the read() call. It makes a hypervisor call to read a specific
page from the catalog and copy the required bytes into the given
buffer. Each call to catalog_read() returns at most one 4K page.
Given these requirements, we should be able to simplify the
catalog_read().

The NT flag doesn't do anything in long mode other than causing IRET
to #GP. Oddly, CPL3 code can still set NT using popf.
Entry via hardware or software interrupt clears NT automatically, so
the only relevant entries are fast syscalls.
If user code causes kernel code to run with NT set, then there's at
least some (small) chance that it could cause trouble. For example,
user code could cause a call to EFI code with NT set, and who knows
what would happen? Apparently some games on Wine sometimes do
this (!), and, if an IRET return happens, they will segfault. That
segfault cannot be handled, because signal delivery fails, too.
This patch programs the CPU to clear NT on entry via SYSCALL (both
32-bit and 64-bit, by my reading of the AMD APM), and it clears NT
in software on entry via SYSENTER.
To save a few cycles, this borrows a trick from Jan Beulich in Xen:
it checks whether NT is set before trying to clear it. As a result,
it seems to have very little effect on SYSENTER performance on my
machine.
There's another minor bug fix in here: it looks like the CFI
annotations were wrong if CONFIG_AUDITSYSCALL=n.
Testers beware: on Xen, SYSENTER with NT set turns into a GPF.
I haven't touched anything on 32-bit kernels.
The syscall mask change comes from a variant of this patch by Anish
Bhatt.
Note to stable maintainers: there is no known security issue here.
A misguided program can set NT and cause the kernel to try and fail
to deliver SIGSEGV, crashing the program. This patch fixes Far Cry
