      READ_ONCE: Simplify implementations of {READ,WRITE}_ONCE() · a5460b5e
      Will Deacon authored 
      The implementations of {READ,WRITE}_ONCE() suffer from a significant
amount of indirection and complexity due to a historic GCC bug:

https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=58145

which was originally worked around by 230fa253 ("kernel: Provide
READ_ONCE and ASSIGN_ONCE").

Since GCC 4.8 is fairly vintage at this point and we emit a warning if
we detect it during the build, return {READ,WRITE}_ONCE() to their former
glory with an implementation that is easier to understand and, crucially,
more amenable to optimisation. A side effect of this simplification is
that WRITE_ONCE() no longer returns a value, but nobody seems to be
relying on that and the new behaviour is aligned with smp_store_release().

      arm64: csum: Disable KASAN for do_csum() · c6a771d9
      Will Deacon authored 
      do_csum() over-reads the source buffer and therefore abuses
READ_ONCE_NOCHECK() to avoid tripping up KASAN. In preparation for
READ_ONCE_NOCHECK() becoming a macro, and therefore losing its
'__no_sanitize_address' annotation, just annotate do_csum() explicitly
and fall back to normal loads.

      fault_inject: Don't rely on "return value" from WRITE_ONCE() · 9b4fb5ce
      Will Deacon authored 
      It's a bit weird that WRITE_ONCE() evaluates to the value it stores and
it's different to smp_store_release(), which can't be used this way.

In preparation for preventing this in WRITE_ONCE(), change the fault
injection code to use a local variable instead.

      net: tls: Avoid assigning 'const' pointer to non-const pointer · 9a893949
      Will Deacon authored 
      tls_build_proto() uses WRITE_ONCE() to assign a 'const' pointer to a
'non-const' pointer. Cleanups to the implementation of WRITE_ONCE() mean
that this will give rise to a compiler warning, just like a plain old
assignment would do:

  | net/tls/tls_main.c: In function ‘tls_build_proto’:
  | ./include/linux/compiler.h:229:30: warning: assignment discards ‘const’ qualifier from pointer target type [-Wdiscarded-qualifiers]
  | net/tls/tls_main.c:640:4: note: in expansion of macro ‘smp_store_release’
  |   640 |    smp_store_release(&saved_tcpv6_prot, prot);
  |       |    ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Drop the const qualifier from the local 'prot' variable, as it isn't
needed.

      compiler/gcc: Raise minimum GCC version for kernel builds to 4.8 · 5429ef62
      Will Deacon authored 
      It is very rare to see versions of GCC prior to 4.8 being used to build
the mainline kernel. These old compilers are also know to have codegen
issues which can lead to silent miscompilation:

https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=58145

Raise the minimum GCC version for kernel build to 4.8 and remove some
tautological Kconfig dependencies as a consequence.

      MAINTAINERS: sort field names for all entries · 3b50142d
      Linus Torvalds authored 
      This sorts the actual field names too, potentially causing even more
chaos and confusion at merge time if you have edited the MAINTAINERS
file.  But the end result is a more consistent layout, and hopefully
it's a one-time pain minimized by doing this just before the -rc1
release.

This was entirely scripted:

  ./scripts/parse-maintainers.pl --input=MAINTAINERS --output=MAINTAINERS --order

      MAINTAINERS: sort entries by entry name · 4400b7d6
      Linus Torvalds authored 
      They are all supposed to be sorted, but people who add new entries don't
always know the alphabet.  Plus sometimes the entry names get edited,
and people don't then re-order the entry.

Let's see how painful this will be for merging purposes (the MAINTAINERS
file is often edited in various different trees), but Joe claims there's
relatively few patches in -next that touch this, and doing it just
before -rc1 is likely the best time.  Fingers crossed.

This was scripted with

  /scripts/parse-maintainers.pl --input=MAINTAINERS --output=MAINTAINERS

but then I also ended up manually upper-casing a few entry names that
stood out when looking at the end result.

  It addressed the case where a KVM guest triggers a split lock #AC and
  KVM reinjects it into the guest which is not prepared to handle it.

  Add proper sanity checks which prevent the unconditional injection
  into the guest and handles the #AC on the host side in the same way as
  user space detections are handled. Depending on the detection mode it
  either warns and disables detection for the task or kills the task if
  the mode is set to fatal"

      Pull time(keeping) updates from Thomas Gleixner:

 - Fix the time_for_children symlink in /proc/$PID/ so it properly
   reflects that it part of the 'time' namespace

 - Add the missing userns limit for the allowed number of time
   namespaces, which was half defined but the actual array member was
   not added. This went unnoticed as the array has an exessive empty
   member at the end but introduced a user visible regression as the
   output was corrupted.

 - Prevent further silent ucount corruption by adding a BUILD_BUG_ON()
   to catch half updated data.
