Pull io_uring thread rewrite from Jens Axboe: "This converts the io-wq workers to be forked off the tasks in question instead of being kernel threads that assume various bits of the original task identity. This kills > 400 lines of code from io_uring/io-wq, and it's the worst part of the code. We've had several bugs in this area, and the worry is always that we could be missing some pieces for file types doing unusual things (recent /dev/tty example comes to mind, userfaultfd reads installing file descriptors is another fun one... - both of which need special handling, and I bet it's not the last weird oddity we'll find). With these identical workers, we can have full confidence that we're never missing anything. That, in itself, is a huge win. Outside of that, it's also more efficient since we're not wasting space and code on tracking state, or switching between different states. I'm sure we're going to find little things to patch up after this series, but testing has been pretty thorough, from the usual regression suite to production. Any issue that may crop up should be manageable. There's also a nice series of further reductions we can do on top of this, but I wanted to get the meat of it out sooner rather than later. The general worry here isn't that it's fundamentally broken. Most of the little issues we've found over the last week have been related to just changes in how thread startup/exit is done, since that's the main difference between using kthreads and these kinds of threads. In fact, if all goes according to plan, I want to get this into the 5.10 and 5.11 stable branches as well. That said, the changes outside of io_uring/io-wq are: - arch setup, simple one-liner to each arch copy_thread() implementation. - Removal of net and proc restrictions for io_uring, they are no longer needed or useful" * tag 'io_uring-worker.v3-2021-02-25' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block: (30 commits) io-wq: remove now unused IO_WQ_BIT_ERROR io_uring: fix SQPOLL thread handling over exec io-wq: improve manager/worker handling over exec io_uring: ensure SQPOLL startup is triggered before error shutdown io-wq: make buffered file write hashed work map per-ctx io-wq: fix race around io_worker grabbing io-wq: fix races around manager/worker creation and task exit io_uring: ensure io-wq context is always destroyed for tasks arch: ensure parisc/powerpc handle PF_IO_WORKER in copy_thread() io_uring: cleanup ->user usage io-wq: remove nr_process accounting io_uring: flag new native workers with IORING_FEAT_NATIVE_WORKERS net: remove cmsg restriction from io_uring based send/recvmsg calls Revert "proc: don't allow async path resolution of /proc/self components" Revert "proc: don't allow async path resolution of /proc/thread-self components" io_uring: move SQPOLL thread io-wq forked worker io-wq: make io_wq_fork_thread() available to other users io-wq: only remove worker from free_list, if it was there io_uring: remove io_identity io_uring: remove any grabbing of context ...

Pull x86 irq entry updates from Thomas Gleixner: "The irq stack switching was moved out of the ASM entry code in course of the entry code consolidation. It ended up being suboptimal in various ways. This reworks the X86 irq stack handling: - Make the stack switching inline so the stackpointer manipulation is not longer at an easy to find place. - Get rid of the unnecessary indirect call. - Avoid the double stack switching in interrupt return and reuse the interrupt stack for softirq handling. - A objtool fix for CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER=y builds where it got confused about the stack pointer manipulation" * tag 'x86-entry-2021-02-24' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: objtool: Fix stack-swizzle for FRAME_POINTER=y um: Enforce the usage of asm-generic/softirq_stack.h x86/softirq/64: Inline do_softirq_own_stack() softirq: Move do_softirq_own_stack() to generic asm header softirq: Move __ARCH_HAS_DO_SOFTIRQ to Kconfig x86: Select CONFIG_HAVE_IRQ_EXIT_ON_IRQ_STACK x86/softirq: Remove indirection in do_softirq_own_stack() x86/entry: Use run_sysvec_on_irqstack_cond() for XEN upcall x86/entry: Convert device interrupts to inline stack switching x86/entry: Convert system vectors to irq stack macro x86/irq: Provide macro for inlining irq stack switching x86/apic: Split out spurious handling code x86/irq/64: Adjust the per CPU irq stack pointer by 8 x86/irq: Sanitize irq stack tracking x86/entry: Fix instrumentation annotation

arch: setup PF_IO_WORKER threads like PF_KTHREAD

2021-02-22T00:25:22+00:00

PF_IO_WORKER are kernel threads too, but they aren't PF_KTHREAD in the sense that we don't assign ->set_child_tid with our own structure. Just ensure that every arch sets up the PF_IO_WORKER threads like kthreads in the arch implementation of copy_thread(). Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

arch: syscalls: remove $(srctree)/ prefix from syscall tables

2021-02-21T23:22:03+00:00

The 'syscall' variables are not directly used in the commands. Remove the $(srctree)/ prefix because we can rely on VPATH. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada

arch: syscalls: add missing FORCE and fix 'targets' to make if_changed work

2021-02-21T23:21:55+00:00

The rules in these Makefiles cannot detect the command line change because the prerequisite 'FORCE' is missing. Adding 'FORCE' will result in the headers being rebuilt every time because the 'targets' additions are also wrong; the file paths in 'targets' must be relative to the current Makefile. Fix all of them so the if_changed rules work correctly. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada Acked-by: Geert Uytterhoeven

sparc32: Preserve clone syscall flags argument for restarts due to signals

2021-02-19T00:15:11+00:00

This fixes a bug where a clone syscall that is restarted due to a pending signal is restarted with garbage in the register %o0 that holds the clone flags. This keep the original %i0 of a syscall (as seen from the trap handler) in %l6 rather than %l5. This is done because for clone (and also qfork) %l5 is used as a temporary variable in the same register window. Before this, that temporary value would be the value that was then incorrectly used as the orig_i0 argument to do_notify_resume. In order to preserve %l6, the temporary usage of %l6 in ret_sys_call is changed to use %l5 instead and the setting %l6 to 0 or 1 was removed. The use of that 0 or 1 value in %l6 was removed in commit 28e6103665301ce60634e8a77f0b657c6cc099de. Signed-off-by: Andreas Larsson Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

sparc: Replace test_ti_thread_flag() with test_tsk_thread_flag()

2021-02-19T00:13:38+00:00

Use test_tsk_thread_flag() directly instead of test_ti_thread_flag() to improve readability when the argument type is struct task_struct, it is similar with commit 5afc78551bf5 ("arm64: Use test_tsk_thread_flag() for checking TIF_SINGLESTEP").
