Number of ELF program headers is 16-bit by spec, so total size
comfortably fits into "unsigned int".

Space savings: 7 bytes!

<title>signal: Distinguish between kernel_siginfo and siginfo</title>

<id>urn:sha1:ae7795bc6187a15ec51cf258abae656a625f9980</id>
<content type='text'>
Linus recently observed that if we did not worry about the padding
member in struct siginfo it is only about 48 bytes, and 48 bytes is
much nicer than 128 bytes for allocating on the stack and copying
around in the kernel.

The obvious thing of only adding the padding when userspace is
including siginfo.h won't work as there are sigframe definitions in
the kernel that embed struct siginfo.

So split siginfo in two; kernel_siginfo and siginfo.  Keeping the
traditional name for the userspace definition.  While the version that
is used internally to the kernel and ultimately will not be padded to
128 bytes is called kernel_siginfo.

The definition of struct kernel_siginfo I have put in include/signal_types.h

A set of buildtime checks has been added to verify the two structures have
the same field offsets.

To make it easy to verify the change kernel_siginfo retains the same
size as siginfo.  The reduction in size comes in a following change.

Pull MIPS updates from Paul Burton:
 "Here are the main MIPS changes for 4.19.

  An overview of the general architecture changes:

   - Massive DMA ops refactoring from Christoph Hellwig (huzzah for
     deleting crufty code!).

   - We introduce NT_MIPS_DSP &amp; NT_MIPS_FP_MODE ELF notes &amp;
     corresponding regsets to expose DSP ASE &amp; floating point mode state
     respectively, both for live debugging &amp; core dumps.

   - We better optimize our code by hard-coding cpu_has_* macros at
     compile time where their values are known due to the ISA revision
     that the kernel build is targeting.

   - The EJTAG exception handler now better handles SMP systems, where
     it was previously possible for CPUs to clobber a register value
     saved by another CPU.

   - Our implementation of memset() gained a couple of fixes for MIPSr6
     systems to return correct values in some cases where stores fault.

   - We now implement ioremap_wc() using the uncached-accelerated cache
     coherency attribute where supported, which is detected during boot,
     and fall back to plain uncached access where necessary. The
     MIPS-specific (and unused in tree) ioremap_uncached_accelerated() &amp;
     ioremap_cacheable_cow() are removed.

   - The prctl(PR_SET_FP_MODE, ...) syscall is better supported for SMP
     systems by reworking the way we ensure remote CPUs that may be
     running threads within the affected process switch mode.

   - Systems using the MIPS Coherence Manager will now set the
     MIPS_IC_SNOOPS_REMOTE flag to avoid some unnecessary cache
     maintenance overhead when flushing the icache.

   - A few fixes were made for building with clang/LLVM, which now
     sucessfully builds kernels for many of our platforms.

   - Miscellaneous cleanups all over.

  And some platform-specific changes:

   - ar7 gained stubs for a few clock API functions to fix build
     failures for some drivers.

   - ath79 gained support for a few new SoCs, a few fixes &amp; better
     gpio-keys support.

   - Ci20 now exposes its SPI bus using the spi-gpio driver.

   - The generic platform can now auto-detect a suitable value for
     PHYS_OFFSET based upon the memory map described by the device tree,
     allowing us to avoid wasting memory on page book-keeping for
     systems where RAM starts at a non-zero physical address.

   - Ingenic systems using the jz4740 platform code now link their
     vmlinuz higher to allow for kernels of a realistic size.

   - Loongson32 now builds the kernel targeting MIPSr1 rather than
     MIPSr2 to avoid CPU errata.

   - Loongson64 gains a couple of fixes, a workaround for a write
     buffering issue &amp; support for the Loongson 3A R3.1 CPU.

   - Malta now uses the piix4-poweroff driver to handle powering down.

   - Microsemi Ocelot gained support for its SPI bus &amp; NOR flash, its
     second MDIO bus and can now be supported by a FIT/.itb image.

   - Octeon saw a bunch of header cleanups which remove a lot of
     duplicate or unused code"

<title>binfmt_elf: Respect error return from `regset-&gt;active'</title>

<content type='text'>
The regset API documented in &lt;linux/regset.h&gt; defines -ENODEV as the
result of the `-&gt;active' handler to be used where the feature requested
is not available on the hardware found.  However code handling core file
note generation in `fill_thread_core_info' interpretes any non-zero
result from the `-&gt;active' handler as the regset requested being active.
Consequently processing continues (and hopefully gracefully fails later
on) rather than being abandoned right away for the regset requested.

Fix the problem then by making the code proceed only if a positive
result is returned from the `-&gt;active' handler.

The current code does not make sure to page align bss before calling
vm_brk(), and this can lead to a VM_BUG_ON() in __mm_populate() due to
the requested lenght not being correctly aligned.

Let us make sure to align it properly.

Nobody ever tried to self destruct by unmapping whole address space at
once:

	munmap((void *)0, (1ULL &lt;&lt; 47) - 4096);

Doing this produces 2 warnings for zero-length vmalloc allocations:

  a.out[1353]: segfault at 7f80bcc4b757 ip 00007f80bcc4b757 sp 00007fff683939b8 error 14
  a.out: vmalloc: allocation failure: 0 bytes, mode:0xcc0(GFP_KERNEL), nodemask=(null)
	...
  a.out: vmalloc: allocation failure: 0 bytes, mode:0xcc0(GFP_KERNEL), nodemask=(null)
	...

Fix is to switch to kvmalloc().

Steps to reproduce:

	// vsyscall=none
	#include &lt;sys/mman.h&gt;
	#include &lt;sys/resource.h&gt;
	int main(void)
	{
		setrlimit(RLIMIT_CORE, &amp;(struct rlimit){RLIM_INFINITY, RLIM_INFINITY});
		munmap((void *)0, (1ULL &lt;&lt; 47) - 4096);
		return 0;
	}

<title>treewide: Use array_size() in vmalloc()</title>

<id>urn:sha1:42bc47b35320e0e587a88e437e18f80f9c5bcbb2</id>
<content type='text'>
The vmalloc() function has no 2-factor argument form, so multiplication
factors need to be wrapped in array_size(). This patch replaces cases of:

        vmalloc(a * b)

with:
        vmalloc(array_size(a, b))

as well as handling cases of:

        vmalloc(a * b * c)

with:

        vmalloc(array3_size(a, b, c))

This does, however, attempt to ignore constant size factors like:

        vmalloc(4 * 1024)

though any constants defined via macros get caught up in the conversion.

Any factors with a sizeof() of "unsigned char", "char", and "u8" were
dropped, since they're redundant.

The Coccinelle script used for this was:

The kmalloc() function has a 2-factor argument form, kmalloc_array(). This
patch replaces cases of:

        kmalloc(a * b, gfp)

with:
        kmalloc_array(a * b, gfp)

as well as handling cases of:

        kmalloc(a * b * c, gfp)

with:

        kmalloc(array3_size(a, b, c), gfp)

as it's slightly less ugly than:

        kmalloc_array(array_size(a, b), c, gfp)

This does, however, attempt to ignore constant size factors like:

        kmalloc(4 * 1024, gfp)

though any constants defined via macros get caught up in the conversion.

Any factors with a sizeof() of "unsigned char", "char", and "u8" were
dropped, since they're redundant.

The tools/ directory was manually excluded, since it has its own
implementation of kmalloc().

The Coccinelle script used for this was:

// Fix redundant parens around sizeof().
