Pull hardened usercopy whitelisting from Kees Cook:
 "Currently, hardened usercopy performs dynamic bounds checking on slab
  cache objects. This is good, but still leaves a lot of kernel memory
  available to be copied to/from userspace in the face of bugs.

  To further restrict what memory is available for copying, this creates
  a way to whitelist specific areas of a given slab cache object for
  copying to/from userspace, allowing much finer granularity of access
  control.

  Slab caches that are never exposed to userspace can declare no
  whitelist for their objects, thereby keeping them unavailable to
  userspace via dynamic copy operations. (Note, an implicit form of
  whitelisting is the use of constant sizes in usercopy operations and
  get_user()/put_user(); these bypass all hardened usercopy checks since
  these sizes cannot change at runtime.)

  This new check is WARN-by-default, so any mistakes can be found over
  the next several releases without breaking anyone's system.

  The series has roughly the following sections:
   - remove %p and improve reporting with offset
   - prepare infrastructure and whitelist kmalloc
   - update VFS subsystem with whitelists
   - update SCSI subsystem with whitelists
   - update network subsystem with whitelists
   - update process memory with whitelists
   - update per-architecture thread_struct with whitelists
   - update KVM with whitelists and fix ioctl bug
   - mark all other allocations as not whitelisted
   - update lkdtm for more sensible test overage"

  Armada 7K/8K device tree files are changed in preparation for future
  SoC support, based on more than two of the same chips in one package,
  and some boards get renamed for oxnas for consistency.

Discarding the memblock arrays usually works, but causes problems
with kexec, as pointed out by this kbuild warning:

WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x7c60): Section mismatch in reference from the function machine_kexec_prepare() to the function .meminit.text:memblock_is_region_memory()

This lets us keep the memblock structures around whenever kexec
is enabled, but otherwise still drops them.

<id>urn:sha1:b26d07a0f5568bec782072006f25bbaaed49fb2e</id>
<content type='text'>
refcount_t overflow detection is implemented as two way.

1. REFCOUNT_FULL

- It means the full refcount_t implementation
  which has validation but is slightly slower.
- (fd25d19f6b8d ("locking/refcount:
  Create unchecked atomic_t implementation"))

2. ARCH_HAS_REFCOUNT

- refcount_t overflow detection can be optimized
  via an arch-dependent way.
- It is based on atomic_t infrastructure
  with some instruction added for detection.
- It is faster than REFCOUNT_FULL,
  as fast as unprotected atomic_t infrastructure.
- (7a46ec0e2f48 ("locking/refcounts, x86/asm:
  Implement fast refcount overflow protection"))

ARCH_HAS_REFCOUNT has implemented for x86,
not implemented for others.

In the case of arm64,
Will Deacon said he didn't want the specialized
"fast but technically incomplete" refcounting as seen with x86's.

But rather to set REFCOUNT_FULL by default
because no one could point to real-world performance impacts with
REFCOUNT_FULL vs unprotected atomic_t infrastructure.

This is the reason arm64 ended up enabling REFCOUNT_FULL.
(4adcec1164de ("arm64: Always use REFCOUNT_FULL"))

As with the decision of arm64,
arm can set REFCOUNT_FULL by default.

<content type='text'>
While ARM32 carries FPU state in the thread structure that is saved and
restored during signal handling, it doesn't need to declare a usercopy
whitelist, since existing accessors are all either using a bounce buffer
(for which whitelisting isn't checking the slab), are statically sized
(which will bypass the hardened usercopy check), or both.

<content type='text'>
The trivial direct mapping implementation already does a virtual to
physical translation which isn't strictly a noop, and will soon learn
to do non-direct but linear physical to dma translations through the
device offset and a few small tricks.  Rename it to a better fitting
name.

<content type='text'>
phys_to_dma, dma_to_phys and dma_capable are helpers published by
architecture code for use of swiotlb and xen-swiotlb only.  Drivers are
not supposed to use these directly, but use the DMA API instead.

Move these to a new asm/dma-direct.h helper, included by a
linux/dma-direct.h wrapper that provides the default linear mapping
unless the architecture wants to override it.

In the MIPS case the existing dma-coherent.h is reused for now as
untangling it will take a bit of work.

ARCH_S3C24XX is a very exceptional platform that some DT files in

All the other platforms with DT files correctly select USE_OF
directly or indirectly (Most of them are either ARCH_MULTIPLATFORM
or ARM_SINGLE_ARMV7M).

With ARCH_S3C24XX fixed, "ifeq ($(CONFIG_OF),y)" in DT Makefile
can be deleted.
