xterm serial channel was leaking a fd used in setting up the
port helper
This bug is prehistoric - it predates switching to git. The "fixes"
header here is really just to mark all the versions we would like this to
apply to which is "Anything from the Cretaceous period onwards".
No dinosaurs were harmed in fixing this bug.

Fix a logical error in tty reading. We get 0 and errno == EAGAIN
on the first attempt to read from a closed file descriptor.
Compared to that a true EAGAIN is EAGAIN and -1.
If we check errno for EAGAIN first, before checking the return
value we miss the fact that the descriptor is closed.
This bug is as old as the driver. It was not showing up with
the original POLL based IRQ controller, because it was
producing multiple events. Switching to EPOLL unmasked it.

We've been running into stack overflows in helper threads
corrupting memory (e.g. because somebody put printf() or
os_info() there), so to avoid those causing hard-to-debug
issues later on, allocate a guard page for helper thread
stacks and mark it read-only.
Unfortunately, the crash dump at that point is useless as
the stack tracer will try to backtrace the *kernel* thread,
not the helper thread, but at least we don't survive to a
random issue caused by corruption.

We don't actually use this in um_request_irq(), so it can
never be assigned. It's also not clear what that would be
useful for, so just remove it.
This results in quite a number of cleanups, all the way to
removing the "SIGIO on close" startup check, since the data
it assigns (pty_close_sigio) is not used anymore.
While at it, also make this an enum so we get a minimum of
type checking, and remove the IRQ_NONE hack in virtio since
we now no longer have the name twice.

It's cumbersome and error-prone to keep adding fixed IRQ numbers,
and for proper device wakeup support for the virtio/vhost-user
support we need to have different IRQs for each device. Even if
in theory two IRQs (with and without wake) might be sufficient,
it's much easier to reason about it when we have dynamic number
assignment. It also makes it easier to add new devices that may
dynamically exist or depending on the configuration, etc.
Add support for this, up to 64 IRQs (the same limit as epoll FDs
we have right now). Since it's not easy to port all the existing
places to dynamic allocation (some data is statically initialized)
keep the low numbers are reserved for the existing hard-coded IRQ
numbers.

Adds the ability to set the UBD device serial number from the
commandline, disabling the serial number functionality by default.
In some cases it may be useful to set a serial to the UBD device, such
that downstream users (i.e. udev) can use this information to better
describe the hardware to the user from the UML cmdline. In our case we
use this parameter to create some entries under /dev/disk/by-ubd-id/
for each of the UBD devices passed through the UML cmdline.

Lockdep correctly complains that one shouldn't call um_free_irq()
with free_irq() inside under a spinlock since that will attempt
to acquire a mutex.
Rearrange the code to keep the list manipulations under the lock
while moving the actual freeing outside of it, to avoid this.
In particular, this removes the lockdep complaint at shutdown that
I was seeing with lockdep enabled.

Internally, UBD treats each physical IO segment as a separate command to
be submitted in the execution pipe. If the pipe returns a transient
error after a few segments have already been written, UBD will tell the
block layer to requeue the request, but there is no way to reclaim the
segments already submitted. When a new attempt to dispatch the request
is done, those segments already submitted will get duplicated, causing
the WARN_ON below in the best case, and potentially data corruption.
In my system, running a UML instance with 2GB of RAM and a 50M UBD disk,
I can reproduce the WARN_ON by simply running mkfs.fvat against the
disk on a freshly booted system.
There are a few ways to around this, like reducing the pressure on
the pipe by reducing the queue depth, which almost eliminates the
occurrence of the problem, increasing the pipe buffer size on the host
system, or by limiting the request to one physical segment, which causes
the block layer to submit way more requests to resolve a single
operation.
Instead, this patch modifies the format of a UBD command, such that all
segments are sent through a single element in the communication pipe,
turning the command submission atomic from the point of view of the
block layer. The new format has a variable size, depending on the
number of elements, and looks like this:
+------------+-----------+-----------+------------
| cmd_header | segment 0 | segment 1 | segment ...
+------------+-----------+-----------+------------
With this format, we push a pointer to cmd_header in the submission
pipe.
This has the advantage of reducing the memory footprint of executing a
single request, since it allow us to merge some fields in the header.
It is possible to reduce even further each segment memory footprint, by
merging bitmap_words and cow_offset, for instance, but this is not the
focus of this patch and is left as future work. One issue with the
patch is that for a big number of segments, we now perform one big
memory allocation instead of multiple small ones, but I wasn't able to
trigger any real issues or -ENOMEM because of this change, that wouldn't
be reproduced otherwise.
This was tested using fio with the verify-crc32 option, and by running
an ext4 filesystem over this UBD device.
The original WARN_ON was:

The UML random driver creates a dummy device under the guest,
/dev/hw_random. When this file is read from the guest, the driver
reads from the host machine's /dev/random, in-turn reading from
the host kernel's entropy pool. This entropy pool could have been
filled by a hardware random number generator or just the host
kernel's internal software entropy generator.
Currently the driver does not fill the guests kernel entropy pool,
this requires a userspace tool running inside the guest (like
rng-tools) to read from the dummy device provided by this driver,
which then would fill the guest's internal entropy pool.
This all seems quite pointless when we are already reading from an
entropy pool, so this patch aims to register the device as a hwrng
device using the hwrng-core framework. This not only improves and
cleans up the driver, but also fills the guest's entropy pool
without having to resort to using extra userspace tools in the guest.
This is typically a nuisance when booting a guest: the random pool
takes a long time (~200s) to build up enough entropy since the dummy
hwrng is not used to fill the guest's pool.
This port was originally attempted by Alexander Neville "dark" (in CC,
discussion in Link), but the conversation there stalled since the
handling of -EAGAIN errors were no removed and longer handled by the
driver. This patch attempts to use the existing method of error
handling but utilises the new hwrng core.
The issue can be noticed when booting a UML guest:
[ 2.560000] random: fast init done
[ 214.000000] random: crng init done
With the patch applied, filling the pool becomes a lot quicker:
[ 2.560000] random: fast init done
[ 12.000000] random: crng init done

The current codebase makes use of the zero-length array language
extension to the C90 standard, but the preferred mechanism to declare
variable-length types such as these ones is a flexible array member[1][2],
introduced in C99:
struct foo {
int stuff;
struct boo array[];
};
By making use of the mechanism above, we will get a compiler warning
in case the flexible array does not occur last in the structure, which
will help us prevent some kind of undefined behavior bugs from being
inadvertently introduced[3] to the codebase from now on.
Also, notice that, dynamic memory allocations won't be affected by
this change:
"Flexible array members have incomplete type, and so the sizeof operator
may not be applied. As a quirk of the original implementation of
zero-length arrays, sizeof evaluates to zero."[1]
sizeof(flexible-array-member) triggers a warning because flexible array
members have incomplete type[1]. There are some instances of code in
which the sizeof operator is being incorrectly/erroneously applied to
zero-length arrays and the result is zero. Such instances may be hiding
some bugs. So, this work (flexible-array member conversions) will also
help to get completely rid of those sorts of issues.
This issue was found with the help of Coccinelle.

Instead of teaching the driver to open a FD in multiple ways, it can
rely on management layer to do it on its behalf. For example, this
allows inheriting a preconfigured device fd or a simple socketpair()

Pull exec/proc updates from Eric Biederman:
"This contains two significant pieces of work: the work to sort out
proc_flush_task, and the work to solve a deadlock between strace and
exec.
Fixing proc_flush_task so that it no longer requires a persistent
mount makes improvements to proc possible. The removal of the
persistent mount solves an old regression that that caused the hidepid
mount option to only work on remount not on mount. The regression was
found and reported by the Android folks. This further allows Alexey
Gladkov's work making proc mount options specific to an individual
mount of proc to move forward.
The work on exec starts solving a long standing issue with exec that
it takes mutexes of blocking userspace applications, which makes exec
extremely deadlock prone. For the moment this adds a second mutex with
a narrower scope that handles all of the easy cases. Which makes the
tricky cases easy to spot. With a little luck the code to solve those
deadlocks will be ready by next merge window"

Currently, CONFIG_STATIC_LINK can be enabled with options which cannot
be statically linked, namely UML_NET_VECTOR, UML_NET_VDE, and
UML_NET_PCAP; this is because glibc tries to load NSS which does not
support being statically linked. So make CONFIG_STATIC_LINK depend on
!UML_NET_VECTOR && !UML_NET_VDE && !UML_NET_PCAP.

...
These are updates to device drivers and file systems that for some reason
or another were not included in the kernel in the previous y2038 series.
I've gone through all users of time_t again to make sure the kernel is
in a long-term maintainable state, replacing all remaining references
to time_t with safe alternatives.
Some related parts of the series were picked up into the nfsd, xfs,
alsa and v4l2 trees. A final set of patches in linux-mm removes the now
unused time_t/timeval/timespec types and helper functions after all five
branches are merged for linux-5.6, ensuring that no new users get merged.
As a result, linux-5.6, or my backport of the patches to 5.4 [1], should
be the first release that can serve as a base for a 32-bit system designed
to run beyond year 2038, with a few remaining caveats:
- All user space must be compiled with a 64-bit time_t, which will be
supported in the coming musl-1.2 and glibc-2.32 releases, along with
installed kernel headers from linux-5.6 or higher.
- Applications that use the system call interfaces directly need to be
ported to use the time64 syscalls added in linux-5.1 in place of the
existing system calls. This impacts most users of futex() and seccomp()
as well as programming languages that have their own runtime environment
not based on libc.
- Applications that use a private copy of kernel uapi header files or
their contents may need to update to the linux-5.6 version, in
particular for sound/asound.h, xfs/xfs_fs.h, linux/input.h,
linux/elfcore.h, linux/sockios.h, linux/timex.h and linux/can/bcm.h.
- A few remaining interfaces cannot be changed to pass a 64-bit time_t
in a compatible way, so they must be configured to use CLOCK_MONOTONIC
times or (with a y2106 problem) unsigned 32-bit timestamps. Most
importantly this impacts all users of 'struct input_event'.
- All y2038 problems that are present on 64-bit machines also apply to
32-bit machines. In particular this affects file systems with on-disk
timestamps using signed 32-bit seconds: ext4 with ext3-style small
inodes, ext2, xfs (to be fixed soon) and ufs.
Changes since v1 [2]:
- Add Acks I received
- Rebase to v5.5-rc1, dropping patches that got merged already
- Add NFS, XFS and the final three patches from another series
- Rewrite etnaviv patches
- Add one late revert to avoid an etnaviv regression

Pull y2038 updates from Arnd Bergmann:
"Core, driver and file system changes
These are updates to device drivers and file systems that for some
reason or another were not included in the kernel in the previous
y2038 series.
I've gone through all users of time_t again to make sure the kernel is
in a long-term maintainable state, replacing all remaining references
to time_t with safe alternatives.
Some related parts of the series were picked up into the nfsd, xfs,
alsa and v4l2 trees. A final set of patches in linux-mm removes the
now unused time_t/timeval/timespec types and helper functions after
all five branches are merged for linux-5.6, ensuring that no new users
get merged.
As a result, linux-5.6, or my backport of the patches to 5.4 [1],
should be the first release that can serve as a base for a 32-bit
system designed to run beyond year 2038, with a few remaining caveats:
- All user space must be compiled with a 64-bit time_t, which will be
supported in the coming musl-1.2 and glibc-2.32 releases, along
with installed kernel headers from linux-5.6 or higher.
- Applications that use the system call interfaces directly need to
be ported to use the time64 syscalls added in linux-5.1 in place of
the existing system calls. This impacts most users of futex() and
seccomp() as well as programming languages that have their own
runtime environment not based on libc.
- Applications that use a private copy of kernel uapi header files or
their contents may need to update to the linux-5.6 version, in
particular for sound/asound.h, xfs/xfs_fs.h, linux/input.h,
linux/elfcore.h, linux/sockios.h, linux/timex.h and
linux/can/bcm.h.
- A few remaining interfaces cannot be changed to pass a 64-bit
time_t in a compatible way, so they must be configured to use
CLOCK_MONOTONIC times or (with a y2106 problem) unsigned 32-bit
timestamps. Most importantly this impacts all users of 'struct
input_event'.
- All y2038 problems that are present on 64-bit machines also apply
to 32-bit machines. In particular this affects file systems with
on-disk timestamps using signed 32-bit seconds: ext4 with
ext3-style small inodes, ext2, xfs (to be fixed soon) and ufs"

Pull UML updates from Anton Ivanov:
"I am sending this on behalf of Richard who is traveling.
This contains the following changes for UML:
- Fix for time travel mode
- Disable CONFIG_CONSTRUCTORS again
- A new command line option to have an non-raw serial line
- Preparations to remove obsolete UML network drivers"
* tag 'for-linus-5.6-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rw/uml:
um: Fix time-travel=inf-cpu with xor/raid6
Revert "um: Enable CONFIG_CONSTRUCTORS"
um: Mark non-vector net transports as obsolete
um: Add an option to make serial driver non-raw
UML_NET_VECTOR now supports filters compiled with pcap outside of UML;
it also supports: EoGRE, EoL2TPv3, RAW (+/- BPF), TAP and BESS.
While vector drivers are not 1:1 replacements for the existing drivers,
you can achieve the same topologies and the same connectivity at much
higher performance (2.5 to 9 Gbit on mid-range Ryzen desktop) - the old
drivers test out in the 500Mbit range on the same hardware.
For all these reasons, the non-vector based transports are now
unnecessary, and some, most notably pcap and vde are maintenance
burdens. Thus, it makes sense to at least start thinking about removing
the non-vector transports, so for now, mark them as obsolete.
