<content type='text'>
commit cdf8b4633075f2171d440d2e37c9c2609019a81a upstream.

AT_VECTOR_SIZE_ARCH should be defined with the maximum number of
NEW_AUX_ENT entries that ARCH_DLINFO can contain, but it wasn't defined
for tile at all even though ARCH_DLINFO will contain one NEW_AUX_ENT for
the VDSO address.

This shouldn't be a problem as AT_VECTOR_SIZE_BASE includes space for
AT_BASE_PLATFORM which tile doesn't use, but lets define it now and add
the comment above ARCH_DLINFO as found in several other architectures to
remind future modifiers of ARCH_DLINFO to keep AT_VECTOR_SIZE_ARCH up to
date.

<title>tile: provide CONFIG_PAGE_SIZE_64KB etc for tilepro</title>

<content type='text'>
This allows the build system to know that it can't attempt to
configure the Lustre virtual block device, for example, when tilepro
is using 64KB pages (as it does by default).  The tilegx build
already provided those symbols.

Previously we required that the tilepro hypervisor be rebuilt with
a different hardcoded page size in its headers, and then Linux be
rebuilt using the updated hypervisor header.  Now we allow each of
the hypervisor and Linux to be built independently.  We still check
at boot time to ensure that the page size provided by the hypervisor
matches what Linux expects.

<title>mm: mlock: add mlock flags to enable VM_LOCKONFAULT usage</title>

<id>urn:sha1:b0f205c2a3082dd9081f9a94e50658c5fa906ff1</id>
<content type='text'>
The previous patch introduced a flag that specified pages in a VMA should
be placed on the unevictable LRU, but they should not be made present when
the area is created.  This patch adds the ability to set this state via
the new mlock system calls.

We add MLOCK_ONFAULT for mlock2 and MCL_ONFAULT for mlockall.
MLOCK_ONFAULT will set the VM_LOCKONFAULT modifier for VM_LOCKED.
MCL_ONFAULT should be used as a modifier to the two other mlockall flags.
When used with MCL_CURRENT, all current mappings will be marked with
VM_LOCKED | VM_LOCKONFAULT.  When used with MCL_FUTURE, the mm-&gt;def_flags
will be marked with VM_LOCKED | VM_LOCKONFAULT.  When used with both
MCL_CURRENT and MCL_FUTURE, all current mappings and mm-&gt;def_flags will be
marked with VM_LOCKED | VM_LOCKONFAULT.

Prior to this patch, mlockall() will unconditionally clear the
mm-&gt;def_flags any time it is called without MCL_FUTURE.  This behavior is
maintained after adding MCL_ONFAULT.  If a call to mlockall(MCL_FUTURE) is
followed by mlockall(MCL_CURRENT), the mm-&gt;def_flags will be cleared and
new VMAs will be unlocked.  This remains true with or without MCL_ONFAULT
in either mlockall() invocation.

munlock() will unconditionally clear both vma flags.  munlockall()
unconditionally clears for VMA flags on all VMAs and in the mm-&gt;def_flags
field.

arch/tile added word-at-a-time.h after the patch that added generic-y
entries; the generic-y entry is now stale.

arch/h8300 is newer than the generic-y patch for word-at-a-time.h,
and needs a generic-y entry.

arch/powerpc seems to have gotten a generic-y entry by mistake in
the first patch; this change removes it.

<content type='text'>
Pull strscpy string copy function implementation from Chris Metcalf.

Chris sent this during the merge window, but I waffled back and forth on
the pull request, which is why it's going in only now.

The new "strscpy()" function is definitely easier to use and more secure
than either strncpy() or strlcpy(), both of which are horrible nasty
interfaces that have serious and irredeemable problems.

strncpy() has a useless return value, and doesn't NUL-terminate an
overlong result.  To make matters worse, it pads a short result with
zeroes, which is a performance disaster if you have big buffers.

strlcpy(), by contrast, is a mis-designed "fix" for strlcpy(), lacking
the insane NUL padding, but having a differently broken return value
which returns the original length of the source string.  Which means
that it will read characters past the count from the source buffer, and
you have to trust the source to be properly terminated.  It also makes
error handling fragile, since the test for overflow is unnecessarily
subtle.

strscpy() avoids both these problems, guaranteeing the NUL termination
(but not excessive padding) if the destination size wasn't zero, and
making the overflow condition very obvious by returning -E2BIG.  It also
doesn't read past the size of the source, and can thus be used for
untrusted source data too.

So why did I waffle about this for so long?

Every time we introduce a new-and-improved interface, people start doing
these interminable series of trivial conversion patches.

And every time that happens, somebody does some silly mistake, and the
conversion patch to the improved interface actually makes things worse.
Because the patch is mindnumbing and trivial, nobody has the attention
span to look at it carefully, and it's usually done over large swatches
of source code which means that not every conversion gets tested.

So I'm pulling the strscpy() support because it *is* a better interface.
But I will refuse to pull mindless conversion patches.  Use this in
places where it makes sense, but don't do trivial patches to fix things
that aren't actually known to be broken.

* 'strscpy' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/cmetcalf/linux-tile:
  tile: use global strscpy() rather than private copy
  string: provide strscpy()
  Make asm/word-at-a-time.h available on all architectures

<title>atomic, arch: Audit atomic_{read,set}()</title>

This patch makes sure that atomic_{read,set}() are at least
{READ,WRITE}_ONCE().

We already had the 'requirement' that atomic_read() should use
ACCESS_ONCE(), and most archs had this, but a few were lacking.
All are now converted to use READ_ONCE().

And, by a symmetry and general paranoia argument, upgrade atomic_set()
to use WRITE_ONCE().
