[ Upstream commit 22839869f21ab3850fbbac9b425ccc4c0023926f ]

The sigaltstack(2) system call fails with -ENOMEM if the new alternative
signal stack is found to be smaller than SIGMINSTKSZ. On architectures
such as arm64, where the native value for SIGMINSTKSZ is larger than
the compat value, this can result in an unexpected error being reported
to a compat task. See, for example:

  https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=904385

This patch fixes the problem by extending do_sigaltstack to take the
minimum signal stack size as an additional parameter, allowing the
native and compat system call entry code to pass in their respective
values. COMPAT_SIGMINSTKSZ is just defined as SIGMINSTKSZ if it has not
been defined by the architecture.

Pull arm64 updates from Will Deacon:
 "A bunch of good stuff in here. Worth noting is that we've pulled in
  the x86/mm branch from -tip so that we can make use of the core
  ioremap changes which allow us to put down huge mappings in the
  vmalloc area without screwing up the TLB. Much of the positive
  diffstat is because of the rseq selftest for arm64.

  Summary:

   - Wire up support for qspinlock, replacing our trusty ticket lock
     code

   - Add an IPI to flush_icache_range() to ensure that stale
     instructions fetched into the pipeline are discarded along with the
     I-cache lines

   - Support for the GCC "stackleak" plugin

   - Support for restartable sequences, plus an arm64 port for the
     selftest

   - Kexec/kdump support on systems booting with ACPI

   - Rewrite of our syscall entry code in C, which allows us to zero the
     GPRs on entry from userspace

   - Support for chained PMU counters, allowing 64-bit event counters to
     be constructed on current CPUs

   - Ensure scheduler topology information is kept up-to-date with CPU
     hotplug events

   - Re-enable support for huge vmalloc/IO mappings now that the core
     code has the correct hooks to use break-before-make sequences

   - Miscellaneous, non-critical fixes and cleanups"

<title>kernel: add kcompat_sys_{f,}statfs64()</title>

<id>urn:sha1:9b54bf9d6a5b30e2cc22b18793e9a4158c5b4882</id>
<content type='text'>
Using this helper allows us to avoid the in-kernel calls to the
compat_sys_{f,}statfs64() sycalls, as are necessary for parameter
mangling in arm64's compat handling.

Following the example of ksys_* functions, kcompat_sys_* functions are
intended to be a drop-in replacement for their compat_sys_*
counterparts, with the same calling convention.

This is necessary to enable conversion of arm64's syscall handling to
use pt_regs wrappers.

<title>disable -Wattribute-alias warning for SYSCALL_DEFINEx()</title>

<id>urn:sha1:bee20031772af3debe8cbaa234528f24c7892e8f</id>

gcc-8 warns for every single definition of a system call entry
point, e.g.:

include/linux/compat.h:56:18: error: 'compat_sys_rt_sigprocmask' alias between functions of incompatible types 'long int(int,  compat_sigset_t *, compat_sigset_t *, compat_size_t)' {aka 'long int(int,  struct &lt;anonymous&gt; *, struct &lt;anonymous&gt; *, unsigned int)'} and 'long int(long int,  long int,  long int,  long int)' [-Werror=attribute-alias]
  asmlinkage long compat_sys##name(__MAP(x,__SC_DECL,__VA_ARGS__))\
                  ^~~~~~~~~~
include/linux/compat.h:45:2: note: in expansion of macro 'COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINEx'
  COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINEx(4, _##name, __VA_ARGS__)
  ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
kernel/signal.c:2601:1: note: in expansion of macro 'COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE4'
 COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE4(rt_sigprocmask, int, how, compat_sigset_t __user *, nset,
 ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
include/linux/compat.h:60:18: note: aliased declaration here
  asmlinkage long compat_SyS##name(__MAP(x,__SC_LONG,__VA_ARGS__))\
                  ^~~~~~~~~~

The new warning seems reasonable in principle, but it doesn't
help us here, since we rely on the type mismatch to sanitize the
system call arguments. After I reported this as GCC PR82435, a new
-Wno-attribute-alias option was added that could be used to turn the
warning off globally on the command line, but I'd prefer to do it a
little more fine-grained.

Interestingly, turning a warning off and on again inside of
a single macro doesn't always work, in this case I had to add
an extra statement inbetween and decided to copy the __SC_TEST
one from the native syscall to the compat syscall macro.  See
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=83256 for more details
about this.

[paul.burton@mips.com:
  - Rebase atop current master.
  - Split GCC &amp; version arguments to __diag_ignore() in order to match
    changes to the preceding patch.
  - Add the comment argument to match the preceding patch.]

This will aid in enabling the compat syscalls on 32-bit architectures later
on.

Also move compat_itimerspec and related defines to compat_time.h.  The
compat_time.h file will eventually be deleted.

Pull timers and timekeeping updates from Thomas Gleixner:

 - Core infrastucture work for Y2038 to address the COMPAT interfaces:

     + Add a new Y2038 safe __kernel_timespec and use it in the core
       code

     + Introduce config switches which allow to control the various
       compat mechanisms

     + Use the new config switch in the posix timer code to control the
       32bit compat syscall implementation.

 - Prevent bogus selection of CPU local clocksources which causes an
   endless reselection loop

 - Remove the extra kthread in the clocksource code which has no value
   and just adds another level of indirection

 - The usual bunch of trivial updates, cleanups and fixlets all over the
   place

 - More SPDX conversions

<title>aio: implement io_pgetevents</title>

<id>urn:sha1:7a074e96dee62586c935c80cecd931431bfdd0be</id>
<content type='text'>
This is the io_getevents equivalent of ppoll/pselect and allows to
properly mix signals and aio completions (especially with IOCB_CMD_POLL)
and atomically executes the following sequence:

	sigset_t origmask;

	pthread_sigmask(SIG_SETMASK, &amp;sigmask, &amp;origmask);
	ret = io_getevents(ctx, min_nr, nr, events, timeout);
	pthread_sigmask(SIG_SETMASK, &amp;origmask, NULL);

Note that unlike many other signal related calls we do not pass a sigmask
size, as that would get us to 7 arguments, which aren't easily supported
by the syscall infrastructure.  It seems a lot less painful to just add a
new syscall variant in the unlikely case we're going to increase the
sigset size.

<content type='text'>
All the current architecture specific defines for these
are the same. Refactor these common defines to a common
header file.

The new common linux/compat_time.h is also useful as it
will eventually be used to hold all the defines that
are needed for compat time types that support non y2038
safe types. New architectures need not have to define these
new types as they will only use new y2038 safe syscalls.
This file can be deleted after y2038 when we stop supporting
non y2038 safe syscalls.

The patch also requires an operation similar to:

git grep "asm/compat\.h" | cut -d ":" -f 1 |  xargs -n 1 sed -i -e "s%asm/compat.h%linux/compat.h%g"
