It turns out that gperf-3.1 changed types in the generated code in ways
that aren't even trivially detectable without having to generate a test-file.
It's just not worth using tools and libraries from clowns that don't
understand or care about compatibility. So get rid of gperf.

Moving the x86_64 and arm64 PIE base from 0x555555554000 to 0x000100000000
broke AddressSanitizer. This is a partial revert of:
eab09532d400 ("binfmt_elf: use ELF_ET_DYN_BASE only for PIE")
02445990a96e ("arm64: move ELF_ET_DYN_BASE to 4GB / 4MB")
The AddressSanitizer tool has hard-coded expectations about where
executable mappings are loaded.
The motivation for changing the PIE base in the above commits was to
avoid the Stack-Clash CVEs that allowed executable mappings to get too
close to heap and stack. This was mainly a problem on 32-bit, but the
64-bit bases were moved too, in an effort to proactively protect those
systems (proofs of concept do exist that show 64-bit collisions, but
other recent changes to fix stack accounting and setuid behaviors will
minimize the impact).
The new 32-bit PIE base is fine for ASan (since it matches the ET_EXEC
base), so only the 64-bit PIE base needs to be reverted to let x86 and
arm64 ASan binaries run again. Future changes to the 64-bit PIE base on
these architectures can be made optional once a more dynamic method for
dealing with AddressSanitizer is found. (e.g. always loading PIE into
the mmap region for marked binaries.)

Commit 19809c2da28a ("mm, vmalloc: use __GFP_HIGHMEM implicitly") added
use of __GFP_HIGHMEM for allocations. vmalloc_32 may use
GFP_DMA/GFP_DMA32 which does not play nice with __GFP_HIGHMEM and will
trigger a BUG in gfp_zone.
Only add __GFP_HIGHMEM if we aren't using GFP_DMA/GFP_DMA32.

!shared memory policy is not protected against parallel removal by other
thread which is normally protected by the mmap_sem. do_get_mempolicy,
however, drops the lock midway while we can still access it later.
Early premature up_read is a historical artifact from times when
put_user was called in this path see https://lwn.net/Articles/124754/
but that is gone since 8bccd85ffbaf ("[PATCH] Implement sys_* do_*
layering in the memory policy layer."). but when we have the the
current mempolicy ref count model. The issue was introduced
accordingly.
Fix the issue by removing the premature release.

name[] in cma_debugfs_add_one() can only accommodate 16 chars including
NULL to store sprintf output. It's common for cma device name to be
larger than 15 chars. This can cause stack corrpution. If the gcc
stack protector is turned on, this can cause a panic due to stack
corruption.
Below is one example trace:

When forcing a signal, SIGNAL_UNKILLABLE is removed to prevent recursive
faults, but this is undesirable when tracing. For example, debugging an
init process (whether global or namespace), hitting a breakpoint and
SIGTRAP will force SIGTRAP and then remove SIGNAL_UNKILLABLE.
Everything continues fine, but then once debugging has finished, the
init process is left killable which is unlikely what the user expects,
resulting in either an accidentally killed init or an init that stops
reaping zombies.

Wenwei Tao has noticed that our current assumption that the oom victim
is dying and never doing any visible changes after it dies, and so the
oom_reaper can tear it down, is not entirely true.
__task_will_free_mem consider a task dying when SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT is set
but do_group_exit sends SIGKILL to all threads _after_ the flag is set.
So there is a race window when some threads won't have
fatal_signal_pending while the oom_reaper could start unmapping the
address space. Moreover some paths might not check for fatal signals
before each PF/g-u-p/copy_from_user.
We already have a protection for oom_reaper vs. PF races by checking
MMF_UNSTABLE. This has been, however, checked only for kernel threads
(use_mm users) which can outlive the oom victim. A simple fix would be
to extend the current check in handle_mm_fault for all tasks but that
wouldn't be sufficient because the current check assumes that a kernel
thread would bail out after EFAULT from get_user*/copy_from_user and
never re-read the same address which would succeed because the PF path
has established page tables already. This seems to be the case for the
only existing use_mm user currently (virtio driver) but it is rather
fragile in general.
This is even more fragile in general for more complex paths such as
generic_perform_write which can re-read the same address more times
(e.g. iov_iter_copy_from_user_atomic to fail and then
iov_iter_fault_in_readable on retry).
Therefore we have to implement MMF_UNSTABLE protection in a robust way
and never make a potentially corrupted content visible. That requires
to hook deeper into the PF path and check for the flag _every time_
before a pte for anonymous memory is established (that means all
!VM_SHARED mappings).
The corruption can be triggered artificially
(http://lkml.kernel.org/r/201708040646.v746kkhC024636@www262.sakura.ne.jp)
but there doesn't seem to be any real life bug report. The race window
should be quite tight to trigger most of the time.

The reason is that the page fault path might have dropped the mmap_sem
and returned with VM_FAULT_RETRY. MMF_UNSTABLE check however rewrites
the error path to VM_FAULT_SIGBUS and we always expect mmap_sem taken in
that path. Fix this by taking mmap_sem when VM_FAULT_RETRY is held in
the MMF_UNSTABLE path.
We cannot simply add VM_FAULT_SIGBUS to the existing error code because
all arch specific page fault handlers and g-u-p would have to learn a
new error code combination.

To avoid a possible deadlock, sysfs_slab_remove() schedules an
asynchronous work to delete sysfs entries corresponding to the kmem
cache. To ensure the cache isn't freed before the work function is
called, it takes a reference to the cache kobject. The reference is
supposed to be released by the work function.
However, the work function (sysfs_slab_remove_workfn()) does nothing in
case the cache sysfs entry has already been deleted, leaking the kobject
and the corresponding cache.
This may happen on a per memcg cache destruction, because sysfs entries
of a per memcg cache are deleted on memcg offline if the cache is empty
(see __kmemcg_cache_deactivate()).
The kmemleak report looks like this:

There is existing use after free bug when deferred struct pages are
enabled:
The memblock_add() allocates memory for the memory array if more than
128 entries are needed. See comment in e820__memblock_setup():
* The bootstrap memblock region count maximum is 128 entries
* (INIT_MEMBLOCK_REGIONS), but EFI might pass us more E820 entries
* than that - so allow memblock resizing.
This memblock memory is freed here:
free_low_memory_core_early()
We access the freed memblock.memory later in boot when deferred pages
are initialized in this path:
deferred_init_memmap()
for_each_mem_pfn_range()
__next_mem_pfn_range()
type = &memblock.memory;
One possible explanation for why this use-after-free hasn't been hit
before is that the limit of INIT_MEMBLOCK_REGIONS has never been
exceeded at least on systems where deferred struct pages were enabled.
Tested by reducing INIT_MEMBLOCK_REGIONS down to 4 from the current 128,
and verifying in qemu that this code is getting excuted and that the
freed pages are sane.

Recursive loops with module loading were previously handled in kmod by
restricting the number of modprobe calls to 50 and if that limit was
breached request_module() would return an error and a user would see the
following on their kernel dmesg:
request_module: runaway loop modprobe binfmt-464c
Starting init:/sbin/init exists but couldn't execute it (error -8)
This issue could happen for instance when a 64-bit kernel boots a 32-bit
userspace on some architectures and has no 32-bit binary format
hanlders. This is visible, for instance, when a CONFIG_MODULES enabled
64-bit MIPS kernel boots a into o32 root filesystem and the binfmt
handler for o32 binaries is not built-in.
After commit 6d7964a722af ("kmod: throttle kmod thread limit") we now
don't have any visible signs of an error and the kernel just waits for
the loop to end somehow.
Although this *particular* recursive loop could also be addressed by
doing a sanity check on search_binary_handler() and disallowing a
modular binfmt to be required for modprobe, a generic solution for any
recursive kernel kmod issues is still needed.
This should catch these loops. We can investigate each loop and address
each one separately as they come in, this however puts a stop gap for
them as before.

These are the few pending fixes I have queued up for v4.13-final. One
is a a generic regression fix for recursive loops on kmod and the other
one is a trivial print out correction.
During the v4.13 development we assumed that recursive kmod loops were
no longer possible. Clearly that is not true. The regression fix makes
use of a new killable wait. We use a killable wait to be paranoid in
how signals might be sent to modprobe and only accept a proper SIGKILL.
The signal will only be available to userspace to issue *iff* a thread
has already entered a wait state, and that happens only if we've already
throttled after 50 kmod threads have been hit.
Note that although it may seem excessive to trigger a failure afer 5
seconds if all kmod thread remain busy, prior to the series of changes
that went into v4.13 we would actually *always* fatally fail any request
which came in if the limit was already reached. The new waiting
implemented in v4.13 actually gives us *more* breathing room -- the wait
for 5 seconds is a wait for *any* kmod thread to finish. We give up and
fail *iff* no kmod thread has finished and they're *all* running
straight for 5 consecutive seconds. If 50 kmod threads are running
consecutively for 5 seconds something else must be really bad.
Recursive loops with kmod are bad but they're also hard to implement
properly as a selftest without currently fooling current userspace tools
like kmod [1]. For instance kmod will complain when you run depmod if
it finds a recursive loop with symbol dependency between modules as such
this type of recursive loop cannot go upstream as the modules_install
target will fail after running depmod.
These tests already exist on userspace kmod upstream though (refer to
the testsuite/module-playground/mod-loop-*.c files). The same is not
true if request_module() is used though, or worst if aliases are used.
Likewise the issue with 64-bit kernels booting 32-bit userspace without
a binfmt handler built-in is also currently not detected and proactively
avoided by userspace kmod tools, or kconfig for all architectures.
Although we could complain in the kernel when some of these individual
recursive issues creep up, proactively avoiding these situations in
userspace at build time is what we should keep striving for.
Lastly, since recursive loops could happen with kmod it may mean
recursive loops may also be possible with other kernel usermode helpers,
this should be investigated and long term if we can come up with a more
sensible generic solution even better!

This wait is similar to wait_event_interruptible_timeout() but only
accepts SIGKILL interrupt signal. Other signals are ignored.

Commit 05a4a9527931 ("kernel/watchdog: split up config options") lost
the perf-based hardlockup detector's dependency on PERF_EVENTS, which
can result in broken builds with some powerpc configurations.
Restore the dependency. Add it in for x86 too, despite x86 always
selecting PERF_EVENTS it seems reasonable to make the dependency
explicit.

The issue is that writeback doesn't hold a page reference and the page
might get freed after PG_writeback is cleared (and the mapping is
unlocked) in test_clear_page_writeback(). The stat functions looking up
the page's node or zone are safe, as those attributes are static across
allocation and free cycles. But page->mem_cgroup is not, and it will
get cleared if we race with truncation or migration.
It appears this race window has been around for a while, but less likely
to trigger when the memcg stats were updated first thing after
PG_writeback is cleared. Recent changes reshuffled this code to update
the global node stats before the memcg ones, though, stretching the race
window out to an extent where people can reproduce the problem.
Update test_clear_page_writeback() to look up and pin page->mem_cgroup
before clearing PG_writeback, then not use that pointer afterward. It
is a partial revert of 62cccb8c8e7a ("mm: simplify lock_page_memcg()")
but leaves the pageref-holding callsites that aren't affected alone.

If we fail a mount on account of cow recovery errors, it's possible that

Way back when we established inode block-map redo log items, it was
discovered that we needed to prevent the VFS from evicting inodes during
log recovery because any given inode might be have bmap redo items to
replay even if the inode has no link count and is ultimately deleted,
and any eviction of an unlinked inode causes the inode to be truncated
and freed too early.
To make this possible, we set MS_ACTIVE so that inodes would not be torn
down immediately upon release. Unfortunately, this also results in the
quota inodes not being released at all if a later part of the mount
process should fail, because we never reclaim the inodes. So, set
MS_ACTIVE right before we do the last part of log recovery and clear it
immediately after we finish the log recovery so that everything
will be torn down properly if we abort the mount.

Christian Brauner reported that if you use the TIOCGPTPEER ioctl() to
get a slave pty file descriptor, the resulting file descriptor doesn't
look right in /proc/<pid>/fd/<fd>. In particular, he wanted to use
readlink() on /proc/self/fd/<fd> to get the pathname of the slave pty
(basically implementing "ptsname{_r}()").
The reason for that was that we had generated the wrong 'struct path'
when we create the pty in ptmx_open().
In particular, the dentry was correct, but the vfsmount pointed to the
mount of the ptmx node. That _can_ be correct - in case you use
"/dev/pts/ptmx" to open the master - but usually is not. The normal
case is to use /dev/ptmx, which then looks up the pts/ directory, and
then the vfsmount of the ptmx node is obviously the /dev directory, not
the /dev/pts/ directory.
We actually did have the right vfsmount available, but in the wrong
place (it gets looked up in 'devpts_acquire()' when we get a reference
to the pts filesystem), and so ptmx_open() used the wrong mnt pointer.
The end result of this confusion was that the pty worked fine, but when
if you did TIOCGPTPEER to get the slave side of the pty, end end result
would also work, but have that dodgy 'struct path'.
And then when doing "d_path()" on to get the pathname, the vfsmount
would not match the root of the pts directory, and d_path() would return
an empty pathname thinking that the entry had escaped a bind mount into
another mount.
This fixes the problem by making devpts_acquire() return the vfsmount
for the pts filesystem, allowing ptmx_open() to trivially just use the
right mount for the pts dentry, and create the proper 'struct path'.

C-Media devices (at least some models) mute the playback stream when
volumes are set to the minimum value. But this isn't informed via TLV
and the user-space, typically PulseAudio, gets confused as if it's
still played in a low volume.
This patch adds the new flag, min_mute, to struct usb_mixer_elem_info
for indicating that the mixer element is with the minimum-mute volume.
This flag is set for known C-Media devices in
snd_usb_mixer_fu_apply_quirk() in turn.

Pull "Fourth Round of Renesas ARM Based SoC Fixes for v4.13" from Simon Horman:
* Avoid audio_clkout naming conflict for salvator boards using
Renesas R-Car Gen 3 SoCs
Morimoto-san says "The clock name of "audio_clkout" is used by the
Renesas sound driver. This duplicated naming breaks its clock
registering/unregistering. Especially when unbind/bind it can't handle
clkout correctly. This patch renames "audio_clkout" to "audio-clkout" to
avoid the naming conflict."

Historically, DMA masks have suffered some ambiguity between whether
they represent the range of physical memory a device can access, or the
address bits a device is capable of driving, particularly since on many
platforms the two are equivalent. Whilst there are some stragglers left
(dma_max_pfn(), I'm looking at you...), the majority of DMA code has
been cleaned up to follow the latter definition, not least since it is
the only one which makes sense once IOMMUs are involved.
In this respect, of_dma_configure() has always done the wrong thing in
how it generates initial masks based on "dma-ranges". Although rounding
down did not affect the TI Keystone platform where dma_addr + size is
already a power of two, in any other case it results in a mask which is
at best unnecessarily constrained and at worst unusable.
BCM2837 illustrates the problem nicely, where we have a DMA base of 3GB
and a size of 1GB - 16MB, giving dma_addr + size = 0xff000000 and a
resultant mask of 0x7fffffff, which is then insufficient to even cover
the necessary offset, effectively making all DMA addresses out-of-range.
This has been hidden until now (mostly because we don't yet prevent
drivers from simply overwriting this initial mask later upon probe), but
due to recent changes elsewhere now shows up as USB being broken on
Raspberry Pi 3.
Make it right by rounding up instead of down, such that the mask
correctly correctly describes all possisble bits the device needs to
emit.
