Nobody has actually used the type (VERIFY_READ vs VERIFY_WRITE) argument
of the user address range verification function since we got rid of the
old racy i386-only code to walk page tables by hand.
It existed because the original 80386 would not honor the write protect
bit when in kernel mode, so you had to do COW by hand before doing any
user access. But we haven't supported that in a long time, and these
days the 'type' argument is a purely historical artifact.
A discussion about extending 'user_access_begin()' to do the range
checking resulted this patch, because there is no way we're going to
move the old VERIFY_xyz interface to that model. And it's best done at
the end of the merge window when I've done most of my merges, so let's
just get this done once and for all.
This patch was mostly done with a sed-script, with manual fix-ups for
the cases that weren't of the trivial 'access_ok(VERIFY_xyz' form.
There were a couple of notable cases:
- csky still had the old "verify_area()" name as an alias.
- the iter_iov code had magical hardcoded knowledge of the actual
values of VERIFY_{READ,WRITE} (not that they mattered, since nothing
really used it)
- microblaze used the type argument for a debug printout
but other than those oddities this should be a total no-op patch.
I tried to fix up all architectures, did fairly extensive grepping for
access_ok() uses, and the changes are trivial, but I may have missed
something. Any missed conversion should be trivially fixable, though.

Pull siginfo updates from Eric Biederman:
"This set of changes close the known issues with setting si_code to an
invalid value, and with not fully initializing struct siginfo. There
remains work to do on nds32, arc, unicore32, powerpc, arm, arm64, ia64
and x86 to get the code that generates siginfo into a simpler and more
maintainable state. Most of that work involves refactoring the signal
handling code and thus careful code review.
Also not included is the work to shrink the in kernel version of
struct siginfo. That depends on getting the number of places that
directly manipulate struct siginfo under control, as it requires the
introduction of struct kernel_siginfo for the in kernel things.
Overall this set of changes looks like it is making good progress, and
with a little luck I will be wrapping up the siginfo work next
development cycle"

Call clear_siginfo to ensure every stack allocated siginfo is properly
initialized before being passed to the signal sending functions.
Note: It is not safe to depend on C initializers to initialize struct
siginfo on the stack because C is allowed to skip holes when
initializing a structure.
The initialization of struct siginfo in tracehook_report_syscall_exit
was moved from the helper user_single_step_siginfo into
tracehook_report_syscall_exit itself, to make it clear that the local
variable siginfo gets fully initialized.
In a few cases the scope of struct siginfo has been reduced to make it
clear that siginfo siginfo is not used on other paths in the function
in which it is declared.
Instances of using memset to initialize siginfo have been replaced
with calls clear_siginfo for clarity.

Provide a software-based implementation of the priviledged no access
support found in ARMv8.1.
Userspace pages are mapped using a different domain number from the
kernel and IO mappings. If we switch the user domain to "no access"
when we enter the kernel, we can prevent the kernel from touching
userspace.
However, the kernel needs to be able to access userspace via the
various user accessor functions. With the wrapping in the previous
patch, we can temporarily enable access when the kernel needs user
access, and re-disable it afterwards.
This allows us to trap non-intended accesses to userspace, eg, caused
by an inadvertent dereference of the LIST_POISON* values, which, with
appropriate user mappings setup, can be made to succeed. This in turn
can allow use-after-free bugs to be further exploited than would
otherwise be possible.

This moves all fixup snippets to the .text.fixup section, which is
a special section that gets emitted along with the .text section
for each input object file, i.e., the snippets are kept much closer
to the code they refer to, which helps prevent linker failure on
large kernels.

We take the opportunity to join some printk lines together so we don't

According to the ARM ARMv7, explicit barriers are necessary when using
synchronisation primitives such as SWP{B}. The use of these
instructions does not automatically imply a barrier and any ordering
requirements by the software must be explicitly expressed with the use
of suitable barriers.
Based on this, remove the barriers from SWP{B} emulation.

find_vma() is *not* safe when somebody else is removing vmas. Not just
the return value might get bogus just as you are getting it (this instance
doesn't try to dereference the resulting vma), the search itself can get
buggered in rather spectacular ways. IOW, ->mmap_sem really, really is
not optional here.

This patch fixes two separate issues with the SWP emulation handler:
1: Certain processors implementing ARMv7-A can (legally) take an
undef exception even when the condition code would have meant that
the instruction should not have been executed.
2: Opcodes with all flags set (condition code = 0xf) have been reused
in recent, and not-so-recent, versions of the ARM architecture to
implement unconditional extensions to the instruction set. The
existing code would still have processed any undefs triggered by
executing an opcode with such a value.
This patch uses the new generic ARM instruction set condition code
checks to implement proper handling of these situations.

The nmi parameter indicated if we could do wakeups from the current
context, if not, we would set some state and self-IPI and let the
resulting interrupt do the wakeup.
For the various event classes:
- hardware: nmi=0; PMI is in fact an NMI or we run irq_work_run from
the PMI-tail (ARM etc.)
- tracepoint: nmi=0; since tracepoint could be from NMI context.
- software: nmi=[0,1]; some, like the schedule thing cannot
perform wakeups, and hence need 0.
As one can see, there is very little nmi=1 usage, and the down-side of
not using it is that on some platforms some software events can have a
jiffy delay in wakeup (when arch_irq_work_raise isn't implemented).
The up-side however is that we can remove the nmi parameter and save a
bunch of conditionals in fast paths.

The SWP instruction was deprecated in the ARMv6 architecture,
superseded by the LDREX/STREX family of instructions for
load-linked/store-conditional operations. The ARMv7 multiprocessing
extensions mandate that SWP/SWPB instructions are treated as undefined
from reset, with the ability to enable them through the System Control
Register SW bit.
This patch adds the alternative solution to emulate the SWP and SWPB
instructions using LDREX/STREX sequences, and log statistics to
/proc/cpu/swp_emulation. To correctly deal with copy-on-write, it also
modifies cpu_v7_set_pte_ext to change the mappings to priviliged RO when
user RO.
