Many poll() handlers are lockless. Using skb_queue_empty_lockless()
instead of skb_queue_empty() is more appropriate.

This reverts commit dd979b4df817e9976f18fb6f9d134d6bc4a3c317.

This broke tcp_poll for SMC fallback: An AF_SMC socket establishes an
internal TCP socket for the initial handshake with the remote peer.
Whenever the SMC connection can not be established this TCP socket is
used as a fallback. All socket operations on the SMC socket are then
forwarded to the TCP socket. In case of poll, the file-&gt;private_data
pointer references the SMC socket because the TCP socket has no file
assigned. This causes tcp_poll to wait on the wrong socket.

The wait_address argument is always directly derived from the filp
argument, so remove it.

<title>Revert changes to convert to -&gt;poll_mask() and aio IOCB_CMD_POLL</title>

<content type='text'>
The poll() changes were not well thought out, and completely
unexplained.  They also caused a huge performance regression, because
"-&gt;poll()" was no longer a trivial file operation that just called down
to the underlying file operations, but instead did at least two indirect
calls.

Indirect calls are sadly slow now with the Spectre mitigation, but the
performance problem could at least be largely mitigated by changing the
"-&gt;get_poll_head()" operation to just have a per-file-descriptor pointer
to the poll head instead.  That gets rid of one of the new indirections.

But that doesn't fix the new complexity that is completely unwarranted
for the regular case.  The (undocumented) reason for the poll() changes
was some alleged AIO poll race fixing, but we don't make the common case
slower and more complex for some uncommon special case, so this all
really needs way more explanations and most likely a fundamental
redesign.

[ This revert is a revert of about 30 different commits, not reverted
  individually because that would just be unnecessarily messy  - Linus ]

<title>vfs: do bulk POLL* -&gt; EPOLL* replacement</title>

This is the mindless scripted replacement of kernel use of POLL*
variables as described by Al, done by this script:

    for V in IN OUT PRI ERR RDNORM RDBAND WRNORM WRBAND HUP RDHUP NVAL MSG; do
        L=`git grep -l -w POLL$V | grep -v '^t' | grep -v /um/ | grep -v '^sa' | grep -v '/poll.h$'|grep -v '^D'`
        for f in $L; do sed -i "-es/^\([^\"]*\)\(\&lt;POLL$V\&gt;\)/\\1E\\2/" $f; done
    done

with de-mangling cleanups yet to come.

NOTE! On almost all architectures, the EPOLL* constants have the same
values as the POLL* constants do.  But they keyword here is "almost".
For various bad reasons they aren't the same, and epoll() doesn't
actually work quite correctly in some cases due to this on Sparc et al.

The next patch from Al will sort out the final differences, and we
should be all done.

Pull hardened usercopy whitelisting from Kees Cook:
 "Currently, hardened usercopy performs dynamic bounds checking on slab
  cache objects. This is good, but still leaves a lot of kernel memory
  available to be copied to/from userspace in the face of bugs.

  To further restrict what memory is available for copying, this creates
  a way to whitelist specific areas of a given slab cache object for
  copying to/from userspace, allowing much finer granularity of access
  control.

  Slab caches that are never exposed to userspace can declare no
  whitelist for their objects, thereby keeping them unavailable to
  userspace via dynamic copy operations. (Note, an implicit form of
  whitelisting is the use of constant sizes in usercopy operations and
  get_user()/put_user(); these bypass all hardened usercopy checks since
  these sizes cannot change at runtime.)

  This new check is WARN-by-default, so any mistakes can be found over
  the next several releases without breaking anyone's system.

  The series has roughly the following sections:
   - remove %p and improve reporting with offset
   - prepare infrastructure and whitelist kmalloc
   - update VFS subsystem with whitelists
   - update SCSI subsystem with whitelists
   - update network subsystem with whitelists
   - update process memory with whitelists
   - update per-architecture thread_struct with whitelists
   - update KVM with whitelists and fix ioctl bug
   - mark all other allocations as not whitelisted
   - update lkdtm for more sensible test overage"

<title>caif: Define usercopy region in caif proto slab cache</title>

<content type='text'>
The CAIF channel connection request parameters need to be copied to/from
userspace. In support of usercopy hardening, this patch defines a region
in the struct proto slab cache in which userspace copy operations are
allowed.

example usage trace:

    net/caif/caif_socket.c:
        setsockopt(...):
            ...
            copy_from_user(&amp;cf_sk-&gt;conn_req.param.data, ..., ol)

This region is known as the slab cache's usercopy region. Slab caches
can now check that each dynamically sized copy operation involving
cache-managed memory falls entirely within the slab's usercopy region.

This patch is modified from Brad Spengler/PaX Team's PAX_USERCOPY
whitelisting code in the last public patch of grsecurity/PaX based on my
understanding of the code. Changes or omissions from the original code are
mine and don't reflect the original grsecurity/PaX code.
