Since pm_mutex is not exported using lock/unlock_system_sleep() from
inside a kernel module causes a "pm_mutex undefined" linker error.
Hence move lock/unlock_system_sleep() into kernel/power/main.c and
export these.

Pull timer fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
"A pile of fixes for long standing issues with the timer wheel and the
NOHZ code:
- Prevent timer base confusion accross the nohz switch, which can
cause unlocked access and data corruption
- Reinitialize the stale base clock on cpu hotplug to prevent subtle
side effects including rollovers on 32bit
- Prevent an interrupt storm when the timer softirq is already
pending caused by tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick()
- Move the timer start tracepoint to a place where it actually makes
sense
- Add documentation to timerqueue functions as they caused confusion
several times now"

Pull irq fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
"A rather large update after the kaisered maintainer finally found time
to handle regression reports.
- The larger part addresses a regression caused by the x86 vector
management rework.
The reservation based model does not work reliably for MSI
interrupts, if they cannot be masked (yes, yet another hw
engineering trainwreck). The reason is that the reservation mode
assigns a dummy vector when the interrupt is allocated and switches
to a real vector when the interrupt is requested.
If the MSI entry cannot be masked then the initialization might
raise an interrupt before the interrupt is requested, which ends up
as spurious interrupt and causes device malfunction and worse. The
fix is to exclude MSI interrupts which do not support masking from
reservation mode and assign a real vector right away.
- Extend the extra lockdep class setup for nested interrupts with a
class for the recently added irq_desc::request_mutex so lockdep can
differeniate and does not emit false positive warnings.
- A ratelimit guard for the bad irq printout so in case a bad irq
comes back immediately the system does not drown in dmesg spam"

The timer wheel bases are not (re)initialized on CPU hotplug. That leaves
them with a potentially stale clk and next_expiry valuem, which can cause
trouble then the CPU is plugged.
Add a prepare callback which forwards the clock, sets next_expiry to far in
the future and reset the control flags to a known state.
Set base->must_forward_clk so the first timer which is queued will try to
forward the clock to current jiffies.

Since the recent remote cpufreq callback work, its possible that a cpufreq
update is triggered from a remote CPU. For single policies however, the current
code uses the local CPU when trying to determine if the remote sg_cpu entered
idle or is busy. This is incorrect. To remedy this, compare with the nohz tick
idle_calls counter of the remote CPU.

sysctl.ip6.auto_flowlabels is default 1. In our hosts, we set it to 2.
If sockopt doesn't set autoflowlabel, outcome packets from the hosts are
supposed to not include flowlabel. This is true for normal packet, but
not for reset packet.
The reason is ipv6_pinfo.autoflowlabel is set in sock creation. Later if
we change sysctl.ip6.auto_flowlabels, the ipv6_pinfo.autoflowlabel isn't
changed, so the sock will keep the old behavior in terms of auto
flowlabel. Reset packet is suffering from this problem, because reset
packet is sent from a special control socket, which is created at boot
time. Since sysctl.ipv6.auto_flowlabels is 1 by default, the control
socket will always have its ipv6_pinfo.autoflowlabel set, even after
user set sysctl.ipv6.auto_flowlabels to 1, so reset packset will always
have flowlabel. Normal sock created before sysctl setting suffers from
the same issue. We can't even turn off autoflowlabel unless we kill all
socks in the hosts.
To fix this, if IPV6_AUTOFLOWLABEL sockopt is used, we use the
autoflowlabel setting from user, otherwise we always call
ip6_default_np_autolabel() which has the new settings of sysctl.
Note, this changes behavior a little bit. Before commit 42240901f7c4
(ipv6: Implement different admin modes for automatic flow labels), the
autoflowlabel behavior of a sock isn't sticky, eg, if sysctl changes,
existing connection will change autoflowlabel behavior. After that
commit, autoflowlabel behavior is sticky in the whole life of the sock.
With this patch, the behavior isn't sticky again.

The following pull-request contains BPF updates for your *net* tree.
The main changes are:
1) Fix multiple security issues in the BPF verifier mostly related
to the value and min/max bounds tracking rework in 4.14. Issues
range from incorrect bounds calculation in some BPF_RSH cases,
to improper sign extension and reg size handling on 32 bit
ALU ops, missing strict alignment checks on stack pointers, and
several others that got fixed, from Jann, Alexei and Edward.
2) Fix various build failures in BPF selftests on sparc64. More
specifically, librt needed to be added to the libs to link
against and few format string fixups for sizeof, from David.
3) Fix one last remaining issue from BPF selftest build that was
still occuring on s390x from the asm/bpf_perf_event.h include
which could not find the asm/ptrace.h copy, from Hendrik.

- `off + size` overflow in __check_map_access()
- `off + reg->off` overflow in check_mem_access()
- `off + reg->var_off.value` overflow or 32-bit truncation of
`reg->var_off.value` in check_mem_access()
- 32-bit truncation in check_stack_boundary()
Make sure that any integer math cannot overflow by not allowing
pointer math with large values.
Also reduce the scope of "scalar op scalar" tracking.

If a bio is throttled and split after throttling, the bio could be
resubmited and enters the throttling again. This will cause part of the
bio to be charged multiple times. If the cgroup has an IO limit, the
double charge will significantly harm the performance. The bio split
becomes quite common after arbitrary bio size change.
To fix this, we always set the BIO_THROTTLED flag if a bio is throttled.
If the bio is cloned/split, we copy the flag to new bio too to avoid a
double charge. However, cloned bio could be directed to a new disk,
keeping the flag be a problem. The observation is we always set new disk
for the bio in this case, so we can clear the flag in bio_set_dev().
This issue exists for a long time, arbitrary bio size change just makes
it worse, so this should go into stable at least since v4.2.

to complete the struct size.
In addition, rename all set_rate_limit to set_pp_rate_limit to be
compliant with the Firmware <-> Driver definition.

Before the offending commit, mlx5 core did the IRQ affinity itself,
and it seems that the new generic code have some drawbacks and one
of them is the lack for user ability to modify irq affinity after
the initial affinity values got assigned.
The issue is still being discussed and a solution in the new generic code
is required, until then we need to revert this patch.
This fixes the following issue:
echo <new affinity> > /proc/irq/<x>/smp_affinity
fails with -EIO
This reverts commit a435393acafbf0ecff4deb3e3cb554b34f0d0664.
Note: kept mlx5_get_vector_affinity in include/linux/mlx5/driver.h since
it is used in mlx5_ib driver.

Commit caa4b02476e3(blk-map: call blk_queue_bounce from blk_rq_append_bio)
moves blk_queue_bounce() into blk_rq_append_bio(), but don't consider
the fact that the bounced bio becomes invisible to caller since the
parameter type is 'struct bio *'. Make it a pointer to a pointer to
a bio, so the caller sees the right bio also after a bounce.

Commit a8821f3f3("block: Improvements to bounce-buffer handling") tries
to make sure that the bio to .make_request_fn won't exceed BIO_MAX_PAGES,
but ignores that passthrough I/O can use blk_queue_bounce() too.
Especially, passthrough IO may not be sector-aligned, and the check
of 'sectors < bio_sectors(*bio_orig)' inside __blk_queue_bounce() may
become true even though the max bvec number doesn't exceed BIO_MAX_PAGES,
then cause the bio splitted, and the original passthrough bio is submited
to generic_make_request().
This patch fixes this issue by checking if the bio is passthrough IO,
and use bio_kmalloc() to allocate the cloned passthrough bio.

David Rientjes has reported the following memory corruption while the

__oom_reap_task_mm+0xd5/0x16b
oom_reaper+0xff/0x14c
kthread+0xc1/0xe0
Tetsuo Handa has noticed that the synchronization inside exit_mmap is
insufficient. We only synchronize with the oom reaper if
tsk_is_oom_victim which is not true if the final __mmput is called from
a different context than the oom victim exit path. This can trivially
happen from context of any task which has grabbed mm reference (e.g. to
read /proc/<pid>/ file which requires mm etc.).
The race would look like this
oom_reaper oom_victim task
mmget_not_zero
do_exit
mmput
__oom_reap_task_mm mmput
__mmput
exit_mmap
remove_vma
unmap_page_range
Fix this issue by providing a new mm_is_oom_victim() helper which
operates on the mm struct rather than a task. Any context which
operates on a remote mm struct should use this helper in place of
tsk_is_oom_victim. The flag is set in mark_oom_victim and never cleared
so it is stable in the exit_mmap path.

gcc-8 warns about using strncpy() with the source size as the limit:
fs/exec.c:1223:32: error: argument to 'sizeof' in 'strncpy' call is the same expression as the source; did you mean to use the size of the destination? [-Werror=sizeof-pointer-memaccess]
This is indeed slightly suspicious, as it protects us from source
arguments without NUL-termination, but does not guarantee that the
destination is terminated.
This keeps the strncpy() to ensure we have properly padded target
buffer, but ensures that we use the correct length, by passing the
actual length of the destination buffer as well as adding a build-time
check to ensure it is exactly TASK_COMM_LEN.
There are only 23 callsites which I all reviewed to ensure this is
currently the case. We could get away with doing only the check or
passing the right length, but it doesn't hurt to do both.

The hardened strlen() function causes rather large stack usage in at
least one file in the kernel, in particular when CONFIG_KASAN is
enabled:
drivers/media/usb/em28xx/em28xx-dvb.c: In function 'em28xx_dvb_init':
drivers/media/usb/em28xx/em28xx-dvb.c:2062:1: error: the frame size of 3256 bytes is larger than 204 bytes [-Werror=frame-larger-than=]
Analyzing this problem led to the discovery that gcc fails to merge the
stack slots for the i2c_board_info[] structures after we strlcpy() into
them, due to the 'noreturn' attribute on the source string length check.
I reported this as a gcc bug, but it is unlikely to get fixed for gcc-8,
since it is relatively easy to work around, and it gets triggered
rarely. An earlier workaround I did added an empty inline assembly
statement before the call to fortify_panic(), which works surprisingly
well, but is really ugly and unintuitive.
This is a new approach to the same problem, this time addressing it by
not calling the 'extern __real_strnlen()' function for string constants
where __builtin_strlen() is a compile-time constant and therefore known
to be safe.
We do this by checking if the last character in the string is a
compile-time constant '\0'. If it is, we can assume that strlen() of
the string is also constant.
As a side-effect, this should also improve the object code output for
any other call of strlen() on a string constant.

Add a variant of rbtree_replace_node() that maintains the leftmost cache
of struct rbtree_root_cached when replacing nodes within the rbtree.

This code (CONFIG_LOCKDEP_CROSSRELEASE=y and CONFIG_LOCKDEP_COMPLETIONS=y),
while it found a number of old bugs initially, was also causing too many
false positives that caused people to disable lockdep - which is arguably
a worse overall outcome.
If we disable cross-release by default but keep the code upstream then
in practice the most likely outcome is that we'll allow the situation
to degrade gradually, by allowing entropy to introduce more and more
false positives, until it overwhelms maintenance capacity.
Another bad side effect was that people were trying to work around
the false positives by uglifying/complicating unrelated code. There's
a marked difference between annotating locking operations and
uglifying good code just due to bad lock debugging code ...
This gradual decrease in quality happened to a number of debugging
facilities in the kernel, and lockdep is pretty complex already,
so we cannot risk this outcome.
Either cross-release checking can be done right with no false positives,
or it should not be included in the upstream kernel.
( Note that it might make sense to maintain it out of tree and go through
the false positives every now and then and see whether new bugs were
introduced. )

When CONFIG_GENERIC_LOCKBEAK=y, locking structures grow an extra int ->break_lock
field which is used to implement raw_spin_is_contended() by setting the field
to 1 when waiting on a lock and clearing it to zero when holding a lock.
However, there are a few problems with this approach:
- There is a write-write race between a CPU successfully taking the lock
(and subsequently writing break_lock = 0) and a waiter waiting on
the lock (and subsequently writing break_lock = 1). This could result
in a contended lock being reported as uncontended and vice-versa.
- On machines with store buffers, nothing guarantees that the writes
to break_lock are visible to other CPUs at any particular time.
- READ_ONCE/WRITE_ONCE are not used, so the field is potentially
susceptible to harmful compiler optimisations,
Consequently, the usefulness of this field is unclear and we'd be better off
removing it and allowing architectures to implement raw_spin_is_contended() by
providing a definition of arch_spin_is_contended(), as they can when
CONFIG_GENERIC_LOCKBREAK=n.

Users of ptr_ring expect that it's safe to give the
data structure a pointer and have it be available
to consumers, but that actually requires an smb_wmb
or a stronger barrier.
In absence of such barriers and on architectures that reorder writes,
consumer might read an un=initialized value from an skb pointer stored
in the skb array. This was observed causing crashes.
To fix, add memory barriers. The barrier we use is a wmb, the
assumption being that producers do not need to read the value so we do
not need to order these reads.
