<title>mm/gup: change GUP fast to use flags rather than a write 'bool'</title>

<content type='text'>
To facilitate additional options to get_user_pages_fast() change the
singular write parameter to be gup_flags.

This patch does not change any functionality.  New functionality will
follow in subsequent patches.

Some of the get_user_pages_fast() call sites were unchanged because they
already passed FOLL_WRITE or 0 for the write parameter.

NOTE: It was suggested to change the ordering of the get_user_pages_fast()
arguments to ensure that callers were converted.  This breaks the current
GUP call site convention of having the returned pages be the final
parameter.  So the suggestion was rejected.

<title>locking/futex: Allow low-level atomic operations to return -EAGAIN</title>

<id>urn:sha1:6b4f4bc9cb22875f97023984a625386f0c7cc1c0</id>
<content type='text'>
Some futex() operations, including FUTEX_WAKE_OP, require the kernel to
perform an atomic read-modify-write of the futex word via the userspace
mapping. These operations are implemented by each architecture in
arch_futex_atomic_op_inuser() and futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic(), which
are called in atomic context with the relevant hash bucket locks held.

Although these routines may return -EFAULT in response to a page fault
generated when accessing userspace, they are expected to succeed (i.e.
return 0) in all other cases. This poses a problem for architectures
that do not provide bounded forward progress guarantees or fairness of
contended atomic operations and can lead to starvation in some cases.

In these problematic scenarios, we must return back to the core futex
code so that we can drop the hash bucket locks and reschedule if
necessary, much like we do in the case of a page fault.

Allow architectures to return -EAGAIN from their implementations of
arch_futex_atomic_op_inuser() and futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic(), which
will cause the core futex code to reschedule if necessary and return
back to the architecture code later on.

<title>futex: Ensure that futex address is aligned in handle_futex_death()</title>

<id>urn:sha1:5a07168d8d89b00fe1760120714378175b3ef992</id>
<content type='text'>
The futex code requires that the user space addresses of futexes are 32bit
aligned. sys_futex() checks this in futex_get_keys() but the robust list
code has no alignment check in place.

As a consequence the kernel crashes on architectures with strict alignment
requirements in handle_futex_death() when trying to cmpxchg() on an
unaligned futex address which was retrieved from the robust list.

[ tglx: Rewrote changelog, proper sizeof() based alignement check and add
  	comment ]

Pull locking updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "The biggest part of this tree is the new auto-generated atomics API
  wrappers by Mark Rutland.

  The primary motivation was to allow instrumentation without uglifying
  the primary source code.

  The linecount increase comes from adding the auto-generated files to
  the Git space as well:

    include/asm-generic/atomic-instrumented.h     | 1689 ++++++++++++++++--
    include/asm-generic/atomic-long.h             | 1174 ++++++++++---
    include/linux/atomic-fallback.h               | 2295 +++++++++++++++++++++++++
    include/linux/atomic.h                        | 1241 +------------

  I preferred this approach, so that the full call stack of the (already
  complex) locking APIs is still fully visible in 'git grep'.

  But if this is excessive we could certainly hide them.

  There's a separate build-time mechanism to determine whether the
  headers are out of date (they should never be stale if we do our job
  right).

  Anyway, nothing from this should be visible to regular kernel
  developers.

  Other changes:

   - Add support for dynamic keys, which removes a source of false
     positives in the workqueue code, among other things (Bart Van
     Assche)

   - Updates to tools/memory-model (Andrea Parri, Paul E. McKenney)

   - qspinlock, wake_q and lockdep micro-optimizations (Waiman Long)

   - misc other updates and enhancements"

<title>futex: Convert futex_pi_state.refcount to refcount_t</title>

<id>urn:sha1:49262de2270e09882d7bd8866a691cdd69ab32f6</id>
<content type='text'>
atomic_t variables are currently used to implement reference
counters with the following properties:

 - counter is initialized to 1 using atomic_set()
 - a resource is freed upon counter reaching zero
 - once counter reaches zero, its further
   increments aren't allowed
 - counter schema uses basic atomic operations
   (set, inc, inc_not_zero, dec_and_test, etc.)

Such atomic variables should be converted to a newly provided
refcount_t type and API that prevents accidental counter overflows
and underflows. This is important since overflows and underflows
can lead to use-after-free situation and be exploitable.

The variable futex_pi_state.refcount is used as pure
reference counter. Convert it to refcount_t and fix up
the operations.

**Important note for maintainers:

Some functions from refcount_t API defined in lib/refcount.c
have different memory ordering guarantees than their atomic
counterparts. Please check Documentation/core-api/refcount-vs-atomic.rst
for more information.

Normally the differences should not matter since refcount_t provides
enough guarantees to satisfy the refcounting use cases, but in
some rare cases it might matter.
Please double check that you don't have some undocumented
memory guarantees for this variable usage.

For the futex_pi_state.refcount it might make a difference
in following places:

 - get_pi_state() and exit_pi_state_list(): increment in
   refcount_inc_not_zero() only guarantees control dependency
   on success vs. fully ordered atomic counterpart
 - put_pi_state(): decrement in refcount_dec_and_test() provides
   RELEASE ordering and ACQUIRE ordering on success
   vs. fully ordered atomic counterpart
