[ Upstream commit 58c644ba512cfbc2e39b758dd979edd1d6d00e27 ]

We call arch_cpu_idle() with RCU disabled, but then use
local_irq_{en,dis}able(), which invokes tracing, which relies on RCU.

Switch all arch_cpu_idle() implementations to use
raw_local_irq_{en,dis}able() and carefully manage the
lockdep,rcu,tracing state like we do in entry.

(XXX: we really should change arch_cpu_idle() to not return with
interrupts enabled)

segment_eq is only used to implement uaccess_kernel.  Just open code
uaccess_kernel in the arch uaccess headers and remove one layer of
indirection.

Pull fork cleanups from Christian Brauner:
 "This is cleanup series from when we reworked a chunk of the process
  creation paths in the kernel and switched to struct
  {kernel_}clone_args.

  High-level this does two main things:

   - Remove the double export of both do_fork() and _do_fork() where
     do_fork() used the incosistent legacy clone calling convention.

     Now we only export _do_fork() which is based on struct
     kernel_clone_args.

   - Remove the copy_thread_tls()/copy_thread() split making the
     architecture specific HAVE_COYP_THREAD_TLS config option obsolete.

  This switches all remaining architectures to select
  HAVE_COPY_THREAD_TLS and thus to the copy_thread_tls() calling
  convention. The current split makes the process creation codepaths
  more convoluted than they need to be. Each architecture has their own
  copy_thread() function unless it selects HAVE_COPY_THREAD_TLS then it
  has a copy_thread_tls() function.

  The split is not needed anymore nowadays, all architectures support
  CLONE_SETTLS but quite a few of them never bothered to select
  HAVE_COPY_THREAD_TLS and instead simply continued to use copy_thread()
  and use the old calling convention. Removing this split cleans up the
  process creation codepaths and paves the way for implementing clone3()
  on such architectures since it requires the copy_thread_tls() calling
  convention.

  After having made each architectures support copy_thread_tls() this
  series simply renames that function back to copy_thread(). It also
  switches all architectures that call do_fork() directly over to
  _do_fork() and the struct kernel_clone_args calling convention. This
  is a corollary of switching the architectures that did not yet support
  it over to copy_thread_tls() since do_fork() is conditional on not
  supporting copy_thread_tls() (Mostly because it lacks a separate
  argument for tls which is trivial to fix but there's no need for this
  function to exist.).

  The do_fork() removal is in itself already useful as it allows to to
  remove the export of both do_fork() and _do_fork() we currently have
  in favor of only _do_fork(). This has already been discussed back when
  we added clone3(). The legacy clone() calling convention is - as is
  probably well-known - somewhat odd:

    #
    # ABI hall of shame
    #
    config CLONE_BACKWARDS
    config CLONE_BACKWARDS2
    config CLONE_BACKWARDS3

  that is aggravated by the fact that some architectures such as sparc
  follow the CLONE_BACKWARDSx calling convention but don't really select
  the corresponding config option since they call do_fork() directly.

  So do_fork() enforces a somewhat arbitrary calling convention in the
  first place that doesn't really help the individual architectures that
  deviate from it. They can thus simply be switched to _do_fork()
  enforcing a single calling convention. (I really hope that any new
  architectures will __not__ try to implement their own calling
  conventions...)

  Most architectures already have made a similar switch (m68k comes to
  mind).

  Overall this removes more code than it adds even with a good portion
  of added comments. It simplifies a chunk of arch specific assembly
  either by moving the code into C or by simply rewriting the assembly.

  Architectures that have been touched in non-trivial ways have all been
  actually boot and stress tested: sparc and ia64 have been tested with
  Debian 9 images. They are the two architectures which have been
  touched the most. All non-trivial changes to architectures have seen
  acks from the relevant maintainers. nios2 with a custom built
  buildroot image. h8300 I couldn't get something bootable to test on
  but the changes have been fairly automatic and I'm sure we'll hear
  people yell if I broke something there.

  All other architectures that have been touched in trivial ways have
  been compile tested for each single patch of the series via git rebase
  -x "make ..." v5.8-rc2. arm{64} and x86{_64} have been boot tested
  even though they have just been trivially touched (removal of the
  HAVE_COPY_THREAD_TLS macro from their Kconfig) because well they are
  basically "core architectures" and since it is trivial to get your
  hands on a useable image"

This allows users of atomic_t to use ATOMIC_INIT without having to
include atomic.h as that way may lead to header loops.

Now that HAVE_COPY_THREAD_TLS has been removed, rename copy_thread_tls()
back simply copy_thread(). It's a simpler name, and doesn't imply that only
tls is copied here. This finishes an outstanding chunk of internal process
creation work since we've added clone3().

All architectures support copy_thread_tls() now, so remove the legacy
copy_thread() function and the HAVE_COPY_THREAD_TLS config option. Everyone
uses the same process creation calling convention based on
copy_thread_tls() and struct kernel_clone_args. This will make it easier to
maintain the core process creation code under kernel/, simplifies the
callpaths and makes the identical for all architectures.

This is part of a larger series that aims at getting rid of the
copy_thread()/copy_thread_tls() split that makes the process creation
codepaths in the kernel more convoluted and error-prone than they need
to be.
I'm converting all the remaining arches that haven't yet switched and
am collecting individual acks. Once I have them, I'll send the whole series
removing the copy_thread()/copy_thread_tls() split, the
HAVE_COPY_THREAD_TLS define and the legacy do_fork() helper. The only
kernel-wide process creation entry point for anything not going directly
through the syscall path will then be based on struct kernel_clone_args.
No more danger of weird process creation abi quirks between architectures
hopefully, and easier to maintain overall.
It also unblocks implementing clone3() on architectures not support
copy_thread_tls(). Any architecture that wants to implement clone3()
will need to select HAVE_COPY_THREAD_TLS and thus need to implement
copy_thread_tls(). So both goals are connected but independently
beneficial.

HAVE_COPY_THREAD_TLS means that a given architecture supports
CLONE_SETTLS and not setting it should usually mean that the
architectures doesn't implement it but that's not how things are. In
fact all architectures support CLONE_TLS it's just that they don't
follow the calling convention that HAVE_COPY_THREAD_TLS implies. That
means all architectures can be switched over to select
HAVE_COPY_THREAD_TLS. Once that is done we can remove that macro (yay,
less code), the unnecessary do_fork() export in kernel/fork.c, and also
rename copy_thread_tls() back to copy_thread(). At this point
copy_thread() becomes the main architecture specific part of process
creation but it will be the same layout and calling convention for all
architectures. (Once that is done we can probably cleanup each
copy_thread() function even more but that's for the future.)

Though h8300 doesn't not suppor the CLONE_SETTLS flag there's no reason to
not switch to the copy_thread_tls() calling convention. As before
CLONE_SETTLS with legacy clone will just be ignored. This brings us one
step closer to getting rid of the copy_thread()/copy_thread_tls() split we
still have and ultimately the HAVE_COPY_THREAD_TLS define in general. A lot
of architectures have already converted and h8300 is one of the few hat
haven't yet. This also unblocks implementing the clone3() syscall on h8300.
Once that is done we can get of another ARCH_WANTS_* macro.

Once Any architecture that supports HAVE_COPY_THREAD_TLS cannot call the
do_fork() helper anymore. This is fine and intended since it should be
removed in favor of the new, cleaner _do_fork() calling convention based
on struct kernel_clone_args. In fact, most architectures have already
switched.  With this patch, h8300 joins the other arches which can't use
the fork(), vfork(), clone(), clone3() syscalls directly and who follow
the new process creation calling convention that is based on struct
kernel_clone_args which we introduced a while back. This means less
custom assembly in the architectures entry path to set up the registers
before calling into the process creation helper and it is easier to to
support new features without having to adapt calling conventions. It
also unifies all process creation paths between fork(), vfork(),
clone(), and clone3(). (We can't fix the ABI nightmare that legacy
clone() is but we can prevent stuff like this happening in the future.)

    Merge tag 'clone3-tls-v5.5-rc6' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/brauner/linux

    Pull thread fixes from Christian Brauner:
     "This contains a series of patches to fix CLONE_SETTLS when used with
      clone3().

      The clone3() syscall passes the tls argument through struct clone_args
      instead of a register. This means, all architectures that do not
      implement copy_thread_tls() but still support CLONE_SETTLS via
      copy_thread() expecting the tls to be located in a register argument
      based on clone() are currently unfortunately broken. Their tls value
      will be garbage.

      The patch series fixes this on all architectures that currently define
      __ARCH_WANT_SYS_CLONE3. It also adds a compile-time check to ensure
      that any architecture that enables clone3() in the future is forced to
      also implement copy_thread_tls().

      My ultimate goal is to get rid of the copy_thread()/copy_thread_tls()
      split and just have copy_thread_tls() at some point in the not too
      distant future (Maybe even renaming copy_thread_tls() back to simply
      copy_thread() once the old function is ripped from all arches). This
      is dependent now on all arches supporting clone3().

      While all relevant arches do that now there are still four missing:
      ia64, m68k, sh and sparc. They have the system call reserved, but not
      implemented. Once they all implement clone3() we can get rid of
      ARCH_WANT_SYS_CLONE3 and HAVE_COPY_THREAD_TLS.

Note that in the meantime, m68k has already switched to the new calling
convention. And I've got sparc patches acked by Dave, patches for ia64, and
nios2 have been sent out and are ready too.
