A few patches all over the place during this cycle, mostly bug and

there are 2 non OpenRISC specific fixups.
Non OpenRISC fixes:
- In init we need to align the init_task correctly to fix an issue with
MUTEX_FLAGS, reviewed by Peter Z. No one picked this up so I kept it
on my tree.
- In asm-generic/io.h I fixed up some sparse warnings, OK'd by Arnd.
Arnd asked to merge it via my tree.
OpenRISC fixes:
- Many fixes for OpenRISC sprase warnings.
- Add support OpenRISC SMP tlb flushing rather than always flushing the
entire TLB on every CPU.
- Fix bug when dumping stack via /proc/xxx/stack of user threads.

- Untangle the header spaghetti which causes build failures in various
situations caused by the lockdep additions to seqcount to validate that
the write side critical sections are non-preemptible.
- The seqcount associated lock debug addons which were blocked by the
above fallout.
seqcount writers contrary to seqlock writers must be externally
serialized, which usually happens via locking - except for strict per
CPU seqcounts. As the lock is not part of the seqcount, lockdep cannot
validate that the lock is held.
This new debug mechanism adds the concept of associated locks.
sequence count has now lock type variants and corresponding
initializers which take a pointer to the associated lock used for
writer serialization. If lockdep is enabled the pointer is stored and
write_seqcount_begin() has a lockdep assertion to validate that the
lock is held.
Aside of the type and the initializer no other code changes are
required at the seqcount usage sites. The rest of the seqcount API is
unchanged and determines the type at compile time with the help of
_Generic which is possible now that the minimal GCC version has been
moved up.
Adding this lockdep coverage unearthed a handful of seqcount bugs which
have been addressed already independent of this.
While generaly useful this comes with a Trojan Horse twist: On RT
kernels the write side critical section can become preemtible if the
writers are serialized by an associated lock, which leads to the well
known reader preempts writer livelock. RT prevents this by storing the
associated lock pointer independent of lockdep in the seqcount and
changing the reader side to block on the lock when a reader detects
that a writer is in the write side critical section.

This patch prepares Software Tag-Based KASAN for stack tagging support.
With stack tagging enabled, KASAN tags stack variable in each function in
its prologue. In start_kernel() stack variables get tagged before KASAN
is enabled via setup_arch()->kasan_init(). As the result the tags for
start_kernel()'s stack variables end up in the temporary shadow memory.
Later when KASAN gets enabled, switched to normal shadow, and starts
checking tags, this leads to false-positive reports, as proper tags are
missing in normal shadow.
Disable KASAN instrumentation for start_kernel(). Also disable it for
arm64's setup_arch() as a precaution (it doesn't have any stack variables
right now).

Patch series "mm: Expand CONFIG_SLAB_FREELIST_HARDENED to include SLAB"
In reviewing Vlastimil Babka's latest slub debug series, I realized[1]
that several checks under CONFIG_SLAB_FREELIST_HARDENED weren't being
applied to SLAB. Fix this by expanding the Kconfig coverage, and adding a
simple double-free test for SLAB.
This patch (of 2):
Include SLAB caches when performing kmem_cache pointer verification. A
defense against such corruption[1] should be applied to all the
allocators. With this added, the "SLAB_FREE_CROSS" and "SLAB_FREE_PAGE"
LKDTM tests now pass on SLAB:
lkdtm: Performing direct entry SLAB_FREE_CROSS
lkdtm: Attempting cross-cache slab free ...
------------[ cut here ]------------
cache_from_obj: Wrong slab cache. lkdtm-heap-b but object is from lkdtm-heap-a
WARNING: CPU: 2 PID: 2195 at mm/slab.h:530 kmem_cache_free+0x8d/0x1d0

lkdtm: Performing direct entry SLAB_FREE_PAGE

virt_to_cache: Object is not a Slab page!
WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 2202 at mm/slab.h:489 kmem_cache_free+0x196/0x1d0
Additionally clean up neighboring Kconfig entries for clarity,
readability, and redundant option removal.

"During the development of v5.7 I ran into bugs and quality of
implementation issues related to exec that could not be easily fixed
because of the way exec is implemented. So I have been diggin into
exec and cleaning up what I can.
This cycle I have been looking at different ideas and different
implementations to see what is possible to improve exec, and cleaning
the way exec interfaces with in kernel users. Only cleaning up the
interfaces of exec with rest of the kernel has managed to stabalize
and make it through review in time for v5.9-rc1 resulting in 2 sets of
changes this cycle.
- Implement kernel_execve
- Make the user mode driver code a better citizen
With kernel_execve the code size got a little larger as the copying of
parameters from userspace and copying of parameters from userspace is
now separate. The good news is kernel threads no longer need to play
games with set_fs to use exec. Which when combined with the rest of

Pull seccomp updates from Kees Cook:
"There are a bunch of clean ups and selftest improvements along with
two major updates to the SECCOMP_RET_USER_NOTIF filter return:
EPOLLHUP support to more easily detect the death of a monitored
process, and being able to inject fds when intercepting syscalls that
expect an fd-opening side-effect (needed by both container folks and
Chrome). The latter continued the refactoring of __scm_install_fd()
started by Christoph, and in the process found and fixed a handful of
bugs in various callers.
- Improved selftest coverage, timeouts, and reporting
- Add EPOLLHUP support for SECCOMP_RET_USER_NOTIF (Christian Brauner)
- Refactor __scm_install_fd() into __receive_fd() and fix buggy
callers
- Introduce 'addfd' command for SECCOMP_RET_USER_NOTIF (Sargun
Dhillon)"

Since the parse_args() stops parsing at '--', bootconfig_params()
will never get the '--' as param and initargs_found never be true.
In the result, if we pass some init arguments via the bootconfig,
those are always appended to the kernel command line with '--'
even if the kernel command line already has '--'.
To fix this correctly, check the return value of parse_args()
and set initargs_found true if the return value is not an error
but a valid address.

I traced this to kernel/locking/mutex.c storing 3 bits of MUTEX_FLAGS in
the task_struct pointer (mutex.owner). There is a comment saying that
task_structs are always aligned to L1_CACHE_BYTES. This is not true for
the init_task.
On 64-bit machines this is not a problem because symbol addresses are
naturally aligned to 64-bits providing 3 bits for MUTEX_FLAGS. Howerver,
for 32-bit machines the symbol address only has 2 bits available.
Fix this by setting init_task alignment to at least L1_CACHE_BYTES.

A sequence counter write side critical section must be protected by some
form of locking to serialize writers. A plain seqcount_t does not
contain the information of which lock must be held when entering a write
side critical section.
Use the new seqcount_spinlock_t data type, which allows to associate a
spinlock with the sequence counter. This enables lockdep to verify that
the spinlock used for writer serialization is held when the write side
critical section is entered.
If lockdep is disabled this lock association is compiled out and has
neither storage size nor runtime overhead.
