d148eac0e7 Kbuild: rename HAVE_CC_STACKPROTECTOR config variable
HAVE_CC_STACKPROTECTOR should be selected by architectures with stack
canary implementation.  It is not about the compiler support.

For the consistency with commit 050e9baa9d ("Kbuild: rename
CC_STACKPROTECTOR[_STRONG] config variables"), remove 'CC_' from the
config symbol.

I moved the 'select' lines to keep the alphabetical sorting.

3010a5ea66 mm: introduce ARCH_HAS_PTE_SPECIAL
Currently the PTE special supports is turned on in per architecture
header files.  Most of the time, it is defined in
arch/*/include/asm/pgtable.h depending or not on some other per
architecture static definition.

This patch introduce a new configuration variable to manage this
directly in the Kconfig files.  It would later replace
__HAVE_ARCH_PTE_SPECIAL.

Here notes for some architecture where the definition of
__HAVE_ARCH_PTE_SPECIAL is not obvious:

arm
 __HAVE_ARCH_PTE_SPECIAL which is currently defined in
arch/arm/include/asm/pgtable-3level.h which is included by
arch/arm/include/asm/pgtable.h when CONFIG_ARM_LPAE is set.
So select ARCH_HAS_PTE_SPECIAL if ARM_LPAE.

powerpc
__HAVE_ARCH_PTE_SPECIAL is defined in 2 files:
 - arch/powerpc/include/asm/book3s/64/pgtable.h
 - arch/powerpc/include/asm/pte-common.h
The first one is included if (PPC_BOOK3S & PPC64) while the second is
included in all the other cases.
So select ARCH_HAS_PTE_SPECIAL all the time.

sparc:
__HAVE_ARCH_PTE_SPECIAL is defined if defined(__sparc__) &&
defined(__arch64__) which are defined through the compiler in
sparc/Makefile if !SPARC32 which I assume to be if SPARC64.
So select ARCH_HAS_PTE_SPECIAL if SPARC64

There is no functional change introduced by this patch.

c7c527dd6e Revert "Documentation/features/vm: Remove arch support status file for 'pte_special'"
The removal of this file appears to have been premature; it's not a feature
enabled by Kconfig, but it's a arch-level feature regardless.  Put it back
for now until some happy future time when we decide how we really want to
document such features.

This reverts commit 2bef69a385.

f5a8eb632b arch: remove obsolete architecture ports
This removes the entire architecture code for blackfin, cris, frv, m32r,
 metag, mn10300, score, and tile, including the associated device drivers.
 
 I have been working with the (former) maintainers for each one to ensure
 that my interpretation was right and the code is definitely unused in
 mainline kernels. Many had fond memories of working on the respective
 ports to start with and getting them included in upstream, but also saw
 no point in keeping the port alive without any users.
 
 In the end, it seems that while the eight architectures are extremely
 different, they all suffered the same fate: There was one company
 in charge of an SoC line, a CPU microarchitecture and a software
 ecosystem, which was more costly than licensing newer off-the-shelf
 CPU cores from a third party (typically ARM, MIPS, or RISC-V). It seems
 that all the SoC product lines are still around, but have not used the
 custom CPU architectures for several years at this point. In contrast,
 CPU instruction sets that remain popular and have actively maintained
 kernel ports tend to all be used across multiple licensees.
 
 The removal came out of a discussion that is now documented at
 https://lwn.net/Articles/748074/. Unlike the original plans, I'm not
 marking any ports as deprecated but remove them all at once after I made
 sure that they are all unused. Some architectures (notably tile, mn10300,
 and blackfin) are still being shipped in products with old kernels,
 but those products will never be updated to newer kernel releases.
 
 After this series, we still have a few architectures without mainline
 gcc support:
 
 - unicore32 and hexagon both have very outdated gcc releases, but the
   maintainers promised to work on providing something newer. At least
   in case of hexagon, this will only be llvm, not gcc.
 
 - openrisc, risc-v and nds32 are still in the process of finishing their
   support or getting it added to mainline gcc in the first place.
   They all have patched gcc-7.3 ports that work to some degree, but
   complete upstream support won't happen before gcc-8.1. Csky posted
   their first kernel patch set last week, their situation will be similar.

We already removed the lines for metag and mn10300, this does
the same edits for all the others.

26be459c9c Documentation/features: Allow comments in arch features files
The list-arch.sh script considers lines beginning with "#" as match for
the feature table.

Given that those tables are never in lines beginning with "#",
add a reverse grep on "^#" when matching the "ok/TODO" state of
the architecture.

This allows adding comments within the feature files, for instance
describing the architecture requirements for the feature in each
architecture.

c633544a61 xtensa: add support for KASAN
Cover kernel addresses above 0x90000000 by the shadow map. Enable
HAVE_ARCH_KASAN when MMU is enabled. Provide kasan_early_init that fills
shadow map with writable copies of kasan_zero_page. Call
kasan_early_init right after mmu initialization in the setup_arch.
Provide kasan_init that allocates proper shadow map pages from the
memblock and puts these pages into the shadow map for addresses from
VMALLOC area to the end of KSEG. Call kasan_init right after memblock
initialization. Don't use KASAN for the boot code, MMU and KASAN
initialization and page fault handler. Make kernel stack size 4 times
larger when KASAN is enabled to avoid stack overflows.
GCC 7.3, 8 or newer is required to build the xtensa kernel with KASAN.

7246f60068 powerpc updates for 4.12 part 1.
Highlights include:
 
  - Larger virtual address space on 64-bit server CPUs. By default we use a 128TB
    virtual address space, but a process can request access to the full 512TB by
    passing a hint to mmap().
 
  - Support for the new Power9 "XIVE" interrupt controller.
 
  - TLB flushing optimisations for the radix MMU on Power9.
 
  - Support for CAPI cards on Power9, using the "Coherent Accelerator Interface
    Architecture 2.0".
 
  - The ability to configure the mmap randomisation limits at build and runtime.
 
  - Several small fixes and cleanups to the kprobes code, as well as support for
    KPROBES_ON_FTRACE.
 
  - Major improvements to handling of system reset interrupts, correctly treating
    them as NMIs, giving them a dedicated stack and using a new hypervisor call
    to trigger them, all of which should aid debugging and robustness.
 
 Many fixes and other minor enhancements.

Linus Torvalds
588ab3f9af arm64 updates for 4.6:
- Initial page table creation reworked to avoid breaking large block
   mappings (huge pages) into smaller ones. The ARM architecture requires
   break-before-make in such cases to avoid TLB conflicts but that's not
   always possible on live page tables
 
 - Kernel virtual memory layout: the kernel image is no longer linked to
   the bottom of the linear mapping (PAGE_OFFSET) but at the bottom of
   the vmalloc space, allowing the kernel to be loaded (nearly) anywhere
   in physical RAM
 
 - Kernel ASLR: position independent kernel Image and modules being
   randomly mapped in the vmalloc space with the randomness is provided
   by UEFI (efi_get_random_bytes() patches merged via the arm64 tree,
   acked by Matt Fleming)
 
 - Implement relative exception tables for arm64, required by KASLR
   (initial code for ARCH_HAS_RELATIVE_EXTABLE added to lib/extable.c but
   actual x86 conversion to deferred to 4.7 because of the merge
   dependencies)
 
 - Support for the User Access Override feature of ARMv8.2: this allows
   uaccess functions (get_user etc.) to be implemented using LDTR/STTR
   instructions. Such instructions, when run by the kernel, perform
   unprivileged accesses adding an extra level of protection. The
   set_fs() macro is used to "upgrade" such instruction to privileged
   accesses via the UAO bit
 
 - Half-precision floating point support (part of ARMv8.2)
 
 - Optimisations for CPUs with or without a hardware prefetcher (using
   run-time code patching)
 
 - copy_page performance improvement to deal with 128 bytes at a time
 
 - Sanity checks on the CPU capabilities (via CPUID) to prevent
   incompatible secondary CPUs from being brought up (e.g. weird
   big.LITTLE configurations)
 
 - valid_user_regs() reworked for better sanity check of the sigcontext
   information (restored pstate information)
 
 - ACPI parking protocol implementation
 
 - CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA enabled by default
 
 - VDSO code marked as read-only
 
 - DEBUG_PAGEALLOC support
 
 - ARCH_HAS_UBSAN_SANITIZE_ALL enabled

Merge tag 'arm64-upstream' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm64/linux

Pull arm64 updates from Catalin Marinas:
 "Here are the main arm64 updates for 4.6.  There are some relatively
  intrusive changes to support KASLR, the reworking of the kernel
  virtual memory layout and initial page table creation.

  Summary:

   - Initial page table creation reworked to avoid breaking large block
     mappings (huge pages) into smaller ones.  The ARM architecture
     requires break-before-make in such cases to avoid TLB conflicts but
     that's not always possible on live page tables

   - Kernel virtual memory layout: the kernel image is no longer linked
     to the bottom of the linear mapping (PAGE_OFFSET) but at the bottom
     of the vmalloc space, allowing the kernel to be loaded (nearly)
     anywhere in physical RAM

   - Kernel ASLR: position independent kernel Image and modules being
     randomly mapped in the vmalloc space with the randomness is
     provided by UEFI (efi_get_random_bytes() patches merged via the
     arm64 tree, acked by Matt Fleming)

   - Implement relative exception tables for arm64, required by KASLR
     (initial code for ARCH_HAS_RELATIVE_EXTABLE added to lib/extable.c
     but actual x86 conversion to deferred to 4.7 because of the merge
     dependencies)

   - Support for the User Access Override feature of ARMv8.2: this
     allows uaccess functions (get_user etc.) to be implemented using
     LDTR/STTR instructions.  Such instructions, when run by the kernel,
     perform unprivileged accesses adding an extra level of protection.
     The set_fs() macro is used to "upgrade" such instruction to
     privileged accesses via the UAO bit

   - Half-precision floating point support (part of ARMv8.2)

   - Optimisations for CPUs with or without a hardware prefetcher (using
     run-time code patching)

   - copy_page performance improvement to deal with 128 bytes at a time

   - Sanity checks on the CPU capabilities (via CPUID) to prevent
     incompatible secondary CPUs from being brought up (e.g.  weird
     big.LITTLE configurations)

   - valid_user_regs() reworked for better sanity check of the
     sigcontext information (restored pstate information)

   - ACPI parking protocol implementation

   - CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA enabled by default

   - VDSO code marked as read-only

   - DEBUG_PAGEALLOC support

   - ARCH_HAS_UBSAN_SANITIZE_ALL enabled

   - Erratum workaround Cavium ThunderX SoC

   - set_pte_at() fix for PROT_NONE mappings

   - Code clean-ups"

324420bf91 arm64: add support for ioremap() block mappings
This wires up the existing generic huge-vmap feature, which allows
ioremap() to use PMD or PUD sized block mappings. It also adds support
to the unmap path for dealing with block mappings, which will allow us
to unmap the __init region using unmap_kernel_range() in a subsequent
patch.

df8a0dde73 Remove "arch" usage in Documentation/features/list-arch.sh
Commit 669f6f96c6 introduced
the script list-arch.sh, which uses the command "arch":

ARCH=${1:-$(arch | sed 's/x86_64/x86/' | sed 's/i386/x86/')}

It turns out that the "arch" command does not exist in my system (arch
distro). Google found man pages which say "arch is deprecated command since
release util-linux 2.13. Use uname -m" (util-linux 2.13 was released in 2007).
I also found a debian bug reporting the lack of arch and being told to use
uname -m https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=446023

But then, why it works in some distros? Apparently coreutils gained an
optional arch command that needs to be explicitly enabled during compilation.
Some distros enable it, others don't. Sigh.

This brings SECCOMP_MODE_STRICT and SECCOMP_MODE_FILTER support through
prctl(2) and seccomp(2) to User-mode Linux for i386 and x86_64

secure_computing() is called first in handle_syscall() so that the
syscall emulation will be aborted quickly if matching a seccomp rule.

This is inspired from Meredydd Luff's patch

669f6f96c6 Documentation/features: Explain kernel feature descriptions and add visualization script
The previous patches added arch support matrices for more than 40 generic kernel features
that need per architecture support.

The structure of the feature descriptions is the following:

Each feature has its own directory under Documentation/features/subsystem_name/feature_name/,
and the arch-support.txt file shows its current arch porting status.

For example, lockdep support is shown the following way:

    triton:~/tip> cat Documentation/features/locking/lockdep/arch-support.txt
    #
    # Feature name:          lockdep
    #         Kconfig:       LOCKDEP_SUPPORT

        -----------------------

For generic kernel features that need architecture support, the
arch-support.txt file in each feature directory shows the arch
support matrix, for all upstream Linux architectures.

The meaning of entries in the tables is:

    | ok |  # feature supported by the architecture
    |TODO|  # feature not yet supported by the architecture
    | .. |  # feature cannot be supported by the hardware

This directory structure can be used in the future to add other
files - such as porting guides, testing description, etc.

The Documentation/features/ hierarchy may also include generic
kernel features that works on every architecture, in that case
the arch-support.txt file will list every architecture as
supported.

To list an architecture's unsupported features, just do something
like:

  triton:~/tip>  git grep -lE 'x86.*TODO' Documentation/features/*/*/arch-support.txt
  Documentation/features/lib/strncasecmp/arch-support.txt
  Documentation/features/time/arch-tick-broadcast/arch-support.txt

which will print the list of not yet supported features.

The Documentation/features/list-arch.sh script will print the current
support matrix of one architecture:

  triton:~/tip> Documentation/features/list-arch.sh
