Patch series "Add and use memdesc_flags_t".
At some point struct page will be separated from struct slab and struct
folio. This is a step towards that by introducing a type for the 'flags'
word of all three structures. This gives us a certain amount of type
safety by establishing that some of these unsigned longs are different
from other unsigned longs in that they contain things like node ID,
section number and zone number in the upper bits. That lets us have
functions that can be easily called by anyone who has a slab, folio or
page (but not easily by anyone else) to get the node or zone.
There's going to be some unusual merge problems with this as some odd bits
of the kernel decide they want to print out the flags value or something
similar by writing page->flags and now they'll need to write page->flags.f
instead. That's most of the churn here. Maybe we should be removing
these things from the debug output?
This patch (of 11):
Wrap the unsigned long flags in a typedef. In upcoming patches, this will
provide a strong hint that you can't just pass a random unsigned long to
functions which take this as an argument.

Add text patching api's to use in subsequent jump_label implementation. We use
a new fixmap FIX_TEXT_POKE0 entry to temporarily override MMU mappings to allow
read only text pages to be written to.
Previously, __set_fix was marked with __init as it was only used during the
EARLYCON stage. Now that TEXT_POKE mappings require post-init usage
(e.g., FIX_TEXT_POKE0), keeping __init would cause runtime bugs whenset_fixmap
accesses invalid memory. Thus, we remove the __init flag to ensure __set_fix
remains valid beyond initialization.
A new function patch_insn_write is exposed to allow single instruction patching.

While tracking down a problem where constant expressions used by
BUILD_BUG_ON() suddenly stopped working[1], we found that an added static
initializer was convincing the compiler that it couldn't track the state
of the prior statically initialized value. Tracing this down found that
ffs() was used in the initializer macro, but since it wasn't marked with
__attribute__const__, the compiler had to assume the function might
change variable states as a side-effect (which is not true for ffs(),
which provides deterministic math results).
Add missing __attribute_const__ annotations to OpenRISC's implementations of
ffs(), __ffs(), fls(), and __fls() functions. These are pure mathematical
functions that always return the same result for the same input with no
side effects, making them eligible for compiler optimization.

openrisc: Replace __ASSEMBLY__ with __ASSEMBLER__ in non-uapi headers
openrisc: Replace __ASSEMBLY__ with __ASSEMBLER__ in uapi headers
While the GCC and Clang compilers already define __ASSEMBLER__
automatically when compiling assembly code, __ASSEMBLY__ is a
macro that only gets defined by the Makefiles in the kernel.
This can be very confusing when switching between userspace
and kernelspace coding, or when dealing with uapi headers that
rather should use __ASSEMBLER__ instead. So let's standardize on
the __ASSEMBLER__ macro that is provided by the compilers now.
This is a completely mechanical patch (done with a simple "sed -i"
statement).

openrisc: Refactor struct cpuinfo_or1k to reduce duplication
According to the OpenRISC architecture manual, the dcache and icache may
not be present. When these caches are present, the invalidate and flush
registers may be absent. The current implementation does not perform
checks to verify their presence before utilizing cache registers, or
invalidating and flushing cache blocks.
Introduce new functions to detect the presence of cache components and
related special-purpose registers.
There are a few places where a range of addresses have to be flushed or
invalidated and the implementation is duplicated. Introduce new utility
functions and macros that generalize this implementation and reduce
duplication.

We already have a generic implementation of alloc/free up to P4D level, as
well as pgd_free(). Let's finish the work and add a generic PGD-level
alloc helper as well.
Unlike at lower levels, almost all architectures need some specific magic
at PGD level (typically initialising PGD entries), so introducing a
generic pgd_alloc() isn't worth it. Instead we introduce two new helpers,
__pgd_alloc() and __pgd_free(), and make use of them in the arch-specific
pgd_alloc() and pgd_free() wherever possible. To accommodate as many arch
as possible, __pgd_alloc() takes a page allocation order.
Because pagetable_alloc() allocates zeroed pages, explicit zeroing in
pgd_alloc() becomes redundant and we can get rid of it. Some trivial
implementations of pgd_free() also become unnecessary once __pgd_alloc()
is used; remove them.
Another small improvement is consistent accounting of PGD pages by using
GFP_PGTABLE_{USER,KERNEL} as appropriate.
Not all PGD allocations can be handled by the generic helpers. In
particular, multiple architectures allocate PGDs from a kmem_cache, and
those PGDs may not be page-sized.

Support for HAVE_REGS_AND_STACK_ACCESS_API needed for restartable
sequences.
The implementation has been copied from riscv and tested with the
restartable sequences self tests.
Note, pt-regs members are 'long' on openrisc which require casts for the
api, someday we should try to update these to be 'unsigned long' as
that's what they really are.

To fix this we could either implement early_ioremap again or implement
fixmap. In this patch we choose the later option of implementing basic
fixmap support.
While fixing this we also remove the old FIX_IOREMAP slots that were
used by early ioremap code. That code was also removed by commit
53c98e35dc ("openrisc: mm: remove unneeded early ioremap code") but
these definitions were not cleaned up.

The uapi/asm/unistd_32.h and asm/syscall_table_32.h headers can now be
generated from scripts/syscall.tbl, which makes this consistent with
the other architectures that have their own syscall.tbl.
openrisc has one extra system call that gets added to scripts/syscall.tbl.
The time32, stat64, rlimit and renameat entries in the syscall_abis_32
line are for system calls that were part of the generic ABI when
arch/nios2 got added but are no longer enabled by default for new
architectures.
Both the user visible side of asm/unistd.h and the internal syscall
table in the kernel should have the same effective contents after this.
When asm/syscalls.h is included in kernel/fork.c for the purpose of
type checking, the redirection macros cause problems. Move these so
only the references get redirected.

When clone3() was introduced, it was not obvious how each architecture
deals with setting up the stack and keeping the register contents in
a fork()-like system call, so this was left for the architecture
maintainers to implement, with __ARCH_WANT_SYS_CLONE3 defined by those
that already implement it.
Five years later, we still have a few architectures left that are missing
clone3(), and the macro keeps getting in the way as it's fundamentally
different from all the other __ARCH_WANT_SYS_* macros that are meant
to provide backwards-compatibility with applications using older
syscalls that are no longer provided by default.
Address this by reversing the polarity of the macro, adding an
__ARCH_BROKEN_SYS_CLONE3 macro to all architectures that don't
already provide the syscall, and remove __ARCH_WANT_SYS_CLONE3
from all the other ones.

My original, naive, FPU support patch had the FPCSR register stored
during both the *mode switch* and *context switch*. This is wasteful.
Also, the original patches did not save the FPU state when handling
signals during the system call fast path.
We fix this by moving the FPCSR state to thread_struct in task_struct.
We also introduce new helper functions save_fpu and restore_fpu which
can be used to sync the FPU with thread_struct. These functions are now
called when needed:
- Setting up and restoring sigcontext when handling signals
- Before and after __switch_to during context switches
- When handling FPU exceptions
- When reading and writing FPU register sets
In the future we can further optimize this by doing lazy FPU save and
restore. For example, FPU sync is not needed when switching to and from
kernel threads (x86 does this). FPU save and restore does not need to
be done two times if we have both rescheduling and signal work to do.
However, since OpenRISC FPU state is a single register, I leave these
optimizations for future consideration.

Remove the broken pfn_to_virt() on architectures csky/hexagon/openrisc.
The pfn_to_virt() on those architectures takes PFN instead of PA as the
input to macro __va(), with PAGE_SHIFT applying to the converted VA, which
is not right, especially when there's a non-zero offset in __va(). [1]
The broken pfn_to_virt() was noticed when checking how page_to_virt() is
unfolded on x86. It turns out that the one in linux/mm.h instead of in
asm-generic/page.h is compiled for x86. However, page_to_virt() in
asm-generic/page.h is found out expanding to pfn_to_virt() with a bug
described above. The pfn_to_virt() is found out not right as well on
architectures csky/hexagon/openrisc.
Since there's no single caller on csky/hexagon/openrisc to pfn_to_virt()
and there are functions doing similar things as pfn_to_virt() --
- pfn_to_kaddr() in asm/page.h for csky,
- page_to_virt() in asm/page.h for hexagon, and
- page_to_virt() in linux/mm.h for openrisc,
just delete the pfn_to_virt() on those architectures.
The pfn_to_virt() in asm-generic/page.h is not touched in this patch as
it's referenced by page_to_virt() in that header while the whole header is
going to be removed as a whole due to no one including it.

Pull x86 shadow stack support from Dave Hansen:
"This is the long awaited x86 shadow stack support, part of Intel's
Control-flow Enforcement Technology (CET).
CET consists of two related security features: shadow stacks and
indirect branch tracking. This series implements just the shadow stack
part of this feature, and just for userspace.
The main use case for shadow stack is providing protection against
return oriented programming attacks. It works by maintaining a
secondary (shadow) stack using a special memory type that has
protections against modification. When executing a CALL instruction,
the processor pushes the return address to both the normal stack and
to the special permission shadow stack. Upon RET, the processor pops
the shadow stack copy and compares it to the normal stack copy.

versions of this patch set"

openrisc: Union fpcsr and oldmask in sigcontext to unbreak userspace ABI
The x86 Shadow stack feature includes a new type of memory called shadow
stack. This shadow stack memory has some unusual properties, which requires
some core mm changes to function properly.
One of these unusual properties is that shadow stack memory is writable,
but only in limited ways. These limits are applied via a specific PTE
bit combination. Nevertheless, the memory is writable, and core mm code
will need to apply the writable permissions in the typical paths that
call pte_mkwrite(). The goal is to make pte_mkwrite() take a VMA, so
that the x86 implementation of it can know whether to create regular
writable or shadow stack mappings.
But there are a couple of challenges to this. Modifying the signatures of
each arch pte_mkwrite() implementation would be error prone because some
are generated with macros and would need to be re-implemented. Also, some
pte_mkwrite() callers operate on kernel memory without a VMA.
So this can be done in a three step process. First pte_mkwrite() can be
renamed to pte_mkwrite_novma() in each arch, with a generic pte_mkwrite()
added that just calls pte_mkwrite_novma(). Next callers without a VMA can
be moved to pte_mkwrite_novma(). And lastly, pte_mkwrite() and all callers
can be changed to take/pass a VMA.
Start the process by renaming pte_mkwrite() to pte_mkwrite_novma() and
adding the pte_mkwrite() wrapper in linux/pgtable.h. Apply the same
pattern for pmd_mkwrite(). Since not all archs have a pmd_mkwrite_novma(),
create a new arch config HAS_HUGE_PAGE that can be used to tell if
pmd_mkwrite() should be defined. Otherwise in the !HAS_HUGE_PAGE cases the
compiler would not be able to find pmd_mkwrite_novma().
No functional change.

With commit 27267655c5 ("openrisc: Support floating point user api") I
added an entry to the struct sigcontext which caused an unwanted change
to the userspace ABI.
To fix this we use the previously unused oldmask field space for the
floating point fpcsr state. We do this with a union to restore the ABI
back to the pre kernel v6.4 ABI and keep API compatibility.
This does mean if there is some code somewhere that is setting oldmask
in an OpenRISC specific userspace sighandler it would end up setting the
floating point register status, but I think it's unlikely as oldmask was
never functional before.
