In an effort to remove all instances of 'struct timeval'
from the kernel, I'm changing the powerpc mpic_timer interface
to use plain seconds instead. There is only one user of this
interface, and that doesn't use the microseconds portion, so
the code gets noticeably simpler in the process.

====================
pull-request: bpf-next 2018-01-19
The following pull-request contains BPF updates for your *net-next* tree.
The main changes are:
1) bpf array map HW offload, from Jakub.
2) support for bpf_get_next_key() for LPM map, from Yonghong.
3) test_verifier now runs loaded programs, from Alexei.
4) xdp cpumap monitoring, from Jesper.
5) variety of tests, cleanups and small x64 JIT optimization, from Daniel.
6) user space can now retrieve HW JITed program, from Jiong.
Note there is a minor conflict between Russell's arm32 JIT fixes
and removal of bpf_jit_enable variable by Daniel which should
be resolved by keeping Russell's comment and removing that variable.

Commit bacf6b499e11 ("x86/mm: Use a struct to reduce parameters for SME
PGD mapping") moved some parameters into a structure.
The structure was large enough to trigger the stack protection canary in
sme_encrypt_kernel which doesn't work this early, causing reboots.
Mark sme_encrypt_kernel appropriately to not use the canary.

On alpha, a process will crash if it attempts to start a thread and a
signal is delivered at the same time. The crash can be reproduced with
this program: https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2014-11/msg00473.html
The reason for the crash is this:
* we call the clone syscall
* we go to the function copy_process
* copy process calls copy_thread_tls, it is a wrapper around copy_thread
* copy_thread sets the tls pointer: childti->pcb.unique = regs->r20
* copy_thread sets regs->r20 to zero
* we go back to copy_process
* copy process checks "if (signal_pending(current))" and returns
-ERESTARTNOINTR
* the clone syscall is restarted, but this time, regs->r20 is zero, so
the new thread is created with zero tls pointer
* the new thread crashes in start_thread when attempting to access tls
The comment in the code says that setting the register r20 is some
compatibility with OSF/1. But OSF/1 doesn't use the CLONE_SETTLS flag, so
we don't have to zero r20 if CLONE_SETTLS is set. This patch fixes the bug
by zeroing regs->r20 only if CLONE_SETTLS is not set.

pci_get_bus_and_slot() is restrictive such that it assumes domain=0 as
where a PCI device is present. This restricts the device drivers to be
reused for other domain numbers.
Use pci_get_domain_bus_and_slot() with a domain number of 0 where we can't
extract the domain number. Other places, use the actual domain number from
the device.

Some of the syscall helper functions (do_utimes, poll_select_set_timeout,
core_sys_select) have changed over the past year or two to use
'timespec64' pointers rather than 'timespec'. This was fine on alpha,
since 64-bit architectures treat the two as the same type.
However, I'd like to change that behavior and make 'timespec64' a proper
type of its own even on 64-bit architectures, and that will introduce
harmless type mismatch warnings here.
Also, I'm trying to kill off the do_gettimeofday() helper in favor of
ktime_get() and related interfaces throughout the kernel.
This changes the get_tv32/put_tv32 helper functions to also take a
timespec64 argument rather than timeval, which allows us to simplify
some of the syscall helpers a bit and avoid the type warnings.
For the moment, wait4 and adjtimex are still better off with the old
behavior, so I'm adding a special put_tv_to_tv32() helper for those.

The conversion of the alpha architecture PCI host bridge legacy IRQ
mapping/swizzling to the new PCI host bridge map/swizzle hooks carried
out through:
commit 0e4c2eeb758a ("alpha/PCI: Replace pci_fixup_irqs() call with
host bridge IRQ mapping hooks")
implies that IRQ for devices are now allocated through pci_assign_irq()
function in pci_device_probe() that is called when a driver matching a
device is found in order to probe the device through the device driver.
Alpha noname platforms required IRQ level programming to be executed
in sio_fixup_irq_levels(), that is called in noname_init_pci(), a
platform hook called within a subsys_initcall.
In noname_init_pci(), present IRQs are detected through
sio_collect_irq_levels() that check the struct pci_dev->irq number
to detect if an IRQ has been allocated for the device.
By the time sio_collect_irq_levels() is called, some devices may still
have not a matching driver loaded to match them (eg loadable module)
therefore their IRQ allocation is still pending - which means that
sio_collect_irq_levels() does not programme the correct IRQ level for
those devices, causing their IRQ handling to be broken when the device
driver is actually loaded and the device is probed.
Fix the issue by adding code in the noname map_irq() function
(noname_map_irq()) that, whilst mapping/swizzling the IRQ line, it also
ensures that the correct IRQ level programming is executed at platform
level, fixing the issue.

PAPR defines 'ibm,processor-storage-keys' property. It exports two
values. The first value holds the number of data-access keys and the
second holds the number of instruction-access keys. Due to a bug in
the firmware, instruction-access keys is always reported as zero.
However any key can be configured to disable data-access and/or
disable execution-access. The inavailablity of the second value is not
a big handicap, though it could have been used to determine if the
platform supported disable-execution-access.
Non-PAPR platforms do not define this property in the device tree yet.
Fortunately power8 is the only released Non-PAPR platform that is
supported. Here, we hardcode the number of supported pkey to 32, by
consulting the PowerISA3.0
This patch calculates the number of keys supported by the platform.
Also it determines the platform support for read/write/execution
access support for pkeys.

If a dax buffer from a device that does not map pages is passed to
read(2) or write(2) as a target for direct-I/O it triggers SIGBUS. If
gdb attempts to examine the contents of a dax buffer from a device that
does not map pages it triggers SIGBUS. If fork(2) is called on a process
with a dax mapping from a device that does not map pages it triggers
SIGBUS. 'struct page' is required otherwise several kernel code paths
break in surprising ways. Disable filesystem-dax on devices that do not
map pages.
In addition to needing pfn_to_page() to be valid we also require devmap
pages. We need this to detect dax pages in the get_user_pages_fast()
path and so that we can stop managing the VM_MIXEDMAP flag. For DAX
drivers that have not supported get_user_pages() to date we allow them
to opt-in to supporting DAX with the CONFIG_FS_DAX_LIMITED configuration
option which requires ->direct_access() to return pfn_t_special() pfns.
This leaves DAX support in brd disabled and scheduled for removal.
Note that when the initial dax support was being merged a few years back
there was concern that struct page was unsuitable for use with next
generation persistent memory devices. The theoretical concern was that
struct page access, being such a hotly used data structure in the
kernel, would lead to media wear out. While that was a reasonable
conservative starting position it has not held true in practice. We have
long since committed to using devm_memremap_pages() to support higher
order kernel functionality that needs get_user_pages() and
pfn_to_page().

In support of removing the VM_MIXEDMAP indication from DAX VMAs,
introduce pfn_t_special() for drivers to indicate that _PAGE_SPECIAL
should be used for DAX ptes. This also helps identify drivers like
dccssblk that only want to use DAX in a read-only fashion without
get_user_pages() support.
Ideally we could delete axonram and dcssblk DAX support, but if we need
to keep it better make it explicit that axonram and dcssblk only support
a sub-set of DAX due to missing _PAGE_DEVMAP support.

Pull ARM SoC fixes from Arnd Bergmann:
"We have various small DT fixes, and one important regression fix:
The recent device tree bugfixes that were intended to address issues
that 'dtc' started warning about in 4.15 fixed various USB PHY device
nodes, but it turns out that we had code that depended on those nodes
being incorrect and the probe failing with a particular error code.
With the workaround we can also deal with correct device nodes.
The DT fixes include:
- Allwinner A10 and A20 had the display pipeline set up incorrectly
(introduced in v4.15)
- The Altera PMU lacked an interrupt-parent (never worked)
- Pin muxing on the Openblocks A7 (never worked)
- Clocks might get set up wrong on Armada 7K/8K (4.15 regression)
We now have additional device tree patches to address all the
remaining warnings introduced in 4.15, but decided to queue them for
4.16 instead, to avoid risking another regression like the USB PHY
thing mentioned above.

Pull powerpc fixes from Michael Ellerman:
"More than we'd like after rc8, but nothing very alarming either, just
tying up loose ends before the release:
Since we changed powernv to use cpufreq_get() from show_cpuinfo(), we
see warnings with PREEMPT enabled. But the preempt_disable() in
show_cpuinfo() doesn't actually prevent CPU hotplug as it suggests, so
remove it.
Two updates to the recently merged RFI flush code. Wire up the generic
sysfs file to report the status, and add a debugfs file to allow
enabling/disabling it at runtime.
Two updates to xmon, one to add the RFI flush related fields to the
paca dump, and another to not use hashed pointers in the paca dump.
And one minor fix to add a missing include of linux/types.h in
asm/hvcall.h, not seen to break the build in upstream, but correct
anyway.
Thanks to: Benjamin Herrenschmidt, Michal Suchanek, Nicholas Piggin"
