Kernel-side struct msghdr is (currently) using the same layout as
userland one, but it's not a one-to-one copy - even without considering
32bit compat issues, we have msg_iov, msg_name and msg_control copied
to kernel[1]. It's fairly localized, so we get away with a few functions
where that knowledge is needed (and we could shrink that set even
more). Pretty much everything deals with the kernel-side variant and
the few places that want userland one just use a bunch of force-casts
to paper over the differences.
The thing is, kernel-side definition of struct msghdr is *not* exposed
in include/uapi - libc doesn't see it, etc. So we can add struct user_msghdr,
with proper annotations and let the few places that ever deal with those
beasts use it for userland pointers. Saner typechecking aside, that will
allow to change the layout of kernel-side msghdr - e.g. replace
msg_iov/msg_iovlen there with struct iov_iter, getting rid of the need
to modify the iovec as we copy data to/from it, etc.
We could introduce kernel_msghdr instead, but that would create much more
noise - the absolute majority of the instances would need to have the
type switched to kernel_msghdr and definition of struct msghdr in
include/linux/socket.h is not going to be seen by userland anyway.
This commit just introduces user_msghdr and switches the few places that
are dealing with userland-side msghdr to it.
[1] actually, it's even trickier than that - we copy msg_control for
sendmsg, but keep the userland address on recvmsg.

The trace_seq_printf() and friends are used to store strings into a buffer
that can be passed around from function to function. If the trace_seq buffer
fills up, it will not print any more. The return values were somewhat
inconsistant and using trace_seq_has_overflowed() was a better way to know
if the write to the trace_seq buffer succeeded or not.
Now that all users have removed reading the return value of the printf()
type functions, they can safely return void and keep future users of them
from reading the inconsistent values as well.

Adding a trace_seq_has_overflowed() which returns true if the trace_seq
had too much written into it allows us to simplify the code.
Instead of checking the return value of every call to trace_seq_printf()
and friends, they can all be called normally, and at the end we can
return !trace_seq_has_overflowed() instead.
Several functions also return TRACE_TYPE_PARTIAL_LINE when the trace_seq
overflowed and TRACE_TYPE_HANDLED otherwise. Another helper function
was created called trace_handle_return() which takes a trace_seq and
returns these enums. Using this helper function also simplifies the
code.
This change also makes it possible to remove the return values of
trace_seq_printf() and friends. They should instead just be
void functions.

Stack traces that happen from function tracing check if the address
on the stack is a __kernel_text_address(). That is, is the address
kernel code. This calls core_kernel_text() which returns true
if the address is part of the builtin kernel code. It also calls
is_module_text_address() which returns true if the address belongs
to module code.
But what is missing is ftrace dynamically allocated trampolines.
These trampolines are allocated for individual ftrace_ops that
call the ftrace_ops callback functions directly. But if they do a
stack trace, the code checking the stack wont detect them as they
are neither core kernel code nor module address space.
Adding another field to ftrace_ops that also stores the size of
the trampoline assigned to it we can create a new function called
is_ftrace_trampoline() that returns true if the address is a
dynamically allocate ftrace trampoline. Note, it ignores trampolines
that are not dynamically allocated as they will return true with
the core_kernel_text() function.

Pull the beginning of seq_file cleanup from Steven:
"I'm looking to clean up the seq_file code and to eventually merge the
trace_seq code with seq_file as well, since they basically do the same thing.
Part of this process is to remove the return code of seq_printf() and friends
as they are rather inconsistent. It is better to use the new function
seq_has_overflowed() if you want to stop processing when the buffer
is full. Note, if the buffer is full, the seq_file code will throw away
the contents, allocate a bigger buffer, and then call your code again
to fill in the data. The only thing that breaking out of the function
early does is to save a little time which is probably never noticed.
I started with patches from Joe Perches and modified them as well.
There's many more places that need to be updated before we can convert
seq_printf() and friends to return void. But this patch set introduces
the seq_has_overflowed() and does some initial updates."

Initially the plan was to add a new command to handle the case of
'create new element if it didn't exist', but 'flags' style looks
cleaner and overall diff is much smaller (more code reused), so add 'flags'
attribute to BPF_MAP_UPDATE_ELEM command with the following meaning:
#define BPF_ANY 0 /* create new element or update existing */
#define BPF_NOEXIST 1 /* create new element if it didn't exist */
#define BPF_EXIST 2 /* update existing element */
bpf_update_elem(fd, key, value, BPF_NOEXIST) call can fail with EEXIST
if element already exists.
bpf_update_elem(fd, key, value, BPF_EXIST) can fail with ENOENT
if element doesn't exist.
Userspace will call it as:
int bpf_update_elem(int fd, void *key, void *value, __u64 flags)
{
union bpf_attr attr = {

This is really the meat of the MPX patch set. If there is one patch to
review in the entire series, this is the one. There is a new ABI here
and this kernel code also interacts with userspace memory in a
relatively unusual manner. (small FAQ below).
Long Description:
This patch adds two prctl() commands to provide enable or disable the
management of bounds tables in kernel, including on-demand kernel
allocation (See the patch "on-demand kernel allocation of bounds tables")
and cleanup (See the patch "cleanup unused bound tables"). Applications
do not strictly need the kernel to manage bounds tables and we expect
some applications to use MPX without taking advantage of this kernel
support. This means the kernel can not simply infer whether an application
needs bounds table management from the MPX registers. The prctl() is an
explicit signal from userspace.
PR_MPX_ENABLE_MANAGEMENT is meant to be a signal from userspace to
require kernel's help in managing bounds tables.
PR_MPX_DISABLE_MANAGEMENT is the opposite, meaning that userspace don't
want kernel's help any more. With PR_MPX_DISABLE_MANAGEMENT, the kernel
won't allocate and free bounds tables even if the CPU supports MPX.
PR_MPX_ENABLE_MANAGEMENT will fetch the base address of the bounds
directory out of a userspace register (bndcfgu) and then cache it into
a new field (->bd_addr) in the 'mm_struct'. PR_MPX_DISABLE_MANAGEMENT
will set "bd_addr" to an invalid address. Using this scheme, we can
use "bd_addr" to determine whether the management of bounds tables in
kernel is enabled.
Also, the only way to access that bndcfgu register is via an xsaves,
which can be expensive. Caching "bd_addr" like this also helps reduce
the cost of those xsaves when doing table cleanup at munmap() time.
Unfortunately, we can not apply this optimization to #BR fault time
because we need an xsave to get the value of BNDSTATUS.
==== Why does the hardware even have these Bounds Tables? ====
MPX only has 4 hardware registers for storing bounds information.
If MPX-enabled code needs more than these 4 registers, it needs to
spill them somewhere. It has two special instructions for this
which allow the bounds to be moved between the bounds registers
and some new "bounds tables".
They are similar conceptually to a page fault and will be raised by
the MPX hardware during both bounds violations or when the tables
are not present. This patch handles those #BR exceptions for
not-present tables by carving the space out of the normal processes
address space (essentially calling the new mmap() interface indroduced
earlier in this patch set.) and then pointing the bounds-directory
over to it.
The tables *need* to be accessed and controlled by userspace because
the instructions for moving bounds in and out of them are extremely
frequent. They potentially happen every time a register pointing to
memory is dereferenced. Any direct kernel involvement (like a syscall)
to access the tables would obviously destroy performance.
==== Why not do this in userspace? ====
This patch is obviously doing this allocation in the kernel.
However, MPX does not strictly *require* anything in the kernel.
It can theoretically be done completely from userspace. Here are
a few ways this *could* be done. I don't think any of them are
practical in the real-world, but here they are.
Q: Can virtual space simply be reserved for the bounds tables so
that we never have to allocate them?
A: As noted earlier, these tables are *HUGE*. An X-GB virtual
area needs 4*X GB of virtual space, plus 2GB for the bounds
directory. If we were to preallocate them for the 128TB of
user virtual address space, we would need to reserve 512TB+2GB,
which is larger than the entire virtual address space today.
This means they can not be reserved ahead of time. Also, a
single process's pre-popualated bounds directory consumes 2GB
of virtual *AND* physical memory. IOW, it's completely
infeasible to prepopulate bounds directories.
Q: Can we preallocate bounds table space at the same time memory
is allocated which might contain pointers that might eventually
need bounds tables?
A: This would work if we could hook the site of each and every
memory allocation syscall. This can be done for small,
constrained applications. But, it isn't practical at a larger
scale since a given app has no way of controlling how all the
parts of the app might allocate memory (think libraries). The
kernel is really the only place to intercept these calls.
Q: Could a bounds fault be handed to userspace and the tables
allocated there in a signal handler instead of in the kernel?
A: (thanks to tglx) mmap() is not on the list of safe async
handler functions and even if mmap() would work it still
requires locking or nasty tricks to keep track of the
allocation state there.
Having ruled out all of the userspace-only approaches for managing
bounds tables that we could think of, we create them on demand in
the kernel.

MPX-enabled applications using large swaths of memory can
potentially have large numbers of bounds tables in process
address space to save bounds information. These tables can take
up huge swaths of memory (as much as 80% of the memory on the
system) even if we clean them up aggressively. In the worst-case
scenario, the tables can be 4x the size of the data structure
being tracked. IOW, a 1-page structure can require 4 bounds-table
pages.
Being this huge, our expectation is that folks using MPX are
going to be keen on figuring out how much memory is being
dedicated to it. So we need a way to track memory use for MPX.
If we want to specifically track MPX VMAs we need to be able to
distinguish them from normal VMAs, and keep them from getting
merged with normal VMAs. A new VM_ flag set only on MPX VMAs does
both of those things. With this flag, MPX bounds-table VMAs can
be distinguished from other VMAs, and userspace can also walk
/proc/$pid/smaps to get memory usage for MPX.
In addition to this flag, we also introduce a special ->vm_ops
specific to MPX VMAs (see the patch "add MPX specific mmap
interface"), but currently different ->vm_ops do not by
themselves prevent VMA merging, so we still need this flag.
We understand that VM_ flags are scarce and are open to other
options.

Commit 79c6ab5095 (clk: divider: add CLK_DIVIDER_READ_ONLY flag) in
v3.16 introduced the CLK_DIVIDER_READ_ONLY flag which caused the
recalc_rate() and round_rate() clock callbacks to be omitted.
However using this flag has the unfortunate side effect of causing the
clock recalculation code when a clock rate change is attempted to always
treat it as a pass-through clock, i.e. with a fixed divide of 1, which
may not be the case. Child clock rates are then recalculated using the
wrong parent rate.
Therefore instead of dropping the recalc_rate() and round_rate()
callbacks, alter clk_divider_bestdiv() to always report the current
divider as the best divider so that it is never altered.
For me the read only clock was the system clock, which divided the PLL
rate by 2, from which both the UART and the SPI clocks were divided.
Initial setting of the UART rate set it correctly, but when the SPI
clock was set, the other child clocks were miscalculated. The UART clock
was recalculated using the PLL rate as the parent rate, resulting in a
UART new_rate of double what it should be, and a UART which spewed forth
garbage when the rate changes were propagated.

Currently, freezing a filesystem involves calling freeze_super, which locks
sb->s_umount and then calls the fs-specific freeze_fs hook. This makes it
hard for gfs2 (and potentially other cluster filesystems) to use the vfs
freezing code to do freezes on all the cluster nodes.
In order to communicate that a freeze has been requested, and to make sure
that only one node is trying to freeze at a time, gfs2 uses a glock
(sd_freeze_gl). The problem is that there is no hook for gfs2 to acquire
this lock before calling freeze_super. This means that two nodes can
attempt to freeze the filesystem by both calling freeze_super, acquiring
the sb->s_umount lock, and then attempting to grab the cluster glock
sd_freeze_gl. Only one will succeed, and the other will be stuck in
freeze_super, making it impossible to finish freezing the node.
To solve this problem, this patch adds the freeze_super and thaw_super
hooks. If a filesystem implements these hooks, they are called instead of
the vfs freeze_super and thaw_super functions. This means that every
filesystem that implements these hooks must call the vfs freeze_super and
thaw_super functions itself within the hook function to make use of the vfs
freezing code.
