commit ec6347bb43395cb92126788a1a5b25302543f815 upstream.

In reaction to a proposal to introduce a memcpy_mcsafe_fast()
implementation Linus points out that memcpy_mcsafe() is poorly named
relative to communicating the scope of the interface. Specifically what
addresses are valid to pass as source, destination, and what faults /
exceptions are handled.

Of particular concern is that even though x86 might be able to handle
the semantics of copy_mc_to_user() with its common copy_user_generic()
implementation other archs likely need / want an explicit path for this
case:

  &gt; &gt; for the wrong reason relative to the name.
  &gt;
  &gt; Right.
  &gt;
  &gt; And it won't work that way on other architectures. On x86, we have a
  &gt; generic function that can take faults on either side, and we use it
  &gt; for both cases (and for the "in_user" case too), but that's an
  &gt; artifact of the architecture oddity.
  &gt;
  &gt; In fact, it's probably wrong even on x86 - because it can hide bugs -
  &gt; but writing those things is painful enough that everybody prefers
  &gt; having just one function.

Replace a single top-level memcpy_mcsafe() with either
copy_mc_to_user(), or copy_mc_to_kernel().

Introduce an x86 copy_mc_fragile() name as the rename for the
low-level x86 implementation formerly named memcpy_mcsafe(). It is used
as the slow / careful backend that is supplanted by a fast
copy_mc_generic() in a follow-on patch.

One side-effect of this reorganization is that separating copy_mc_64.S
to its own file means that perf no longer needs to track dependencies
for its memcpy_64.S benchmarks.

This reverts commit a85748ed9eb70108f9605558f2754ca94ee91401 which is
commit ec6347bb43395cb92126788a1a5b25302543f815 upstream.

We had a mistake when merging a later patch in this series due to some
file movements, so revert this change for now, as we will add it back in
a later commit.

page_size(), but compiles to just PAGE_SIZE if CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE

  This adds a new feature in libnvdimm - 'Runtime Firmware Activation',

  originally intended to make separate topic-based pull requests - one
  for libnvdimm, and one for DAX, but some of the DAX material fell out
  since it wasn't quite ready.

Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman:

 - Add support for (optionally) using queued spinlocks &amp; rwlocks.

 - Support for a new faster system call ABI using the scv instruction on
   Power9 or later.

 - Drop support for the PROT_SAO mmap/mprotect flag as it will be
   unsupported on Power10 and future processors, leaving us with no way
   to implement the functionality it requests. This risks breaking
   userspace, though we believe it is unused in practice.

 - A bug fix for, and then the removal of, our custom stack expansion
   checking. We now allow stack expansion up to the rlimit, like other
   architectures.

 - Remove the remnants of our (previously disabled) topology update
   code, which tried to react to NUMA layout changes on virtualised
   systems, but was prone to crashes and other problems.

 - Add PMU support for Power10 CPUs.

 - A change to our signal trampoline so that we don't unbalance the link
   stack (branch return predictor) in the signal delivery path.

 - Lots of other cleanups, refactorings, smaller features and so on as
   usual.

Virtio pmem is modern-only. Use LE accessors for config space.

<title>libnvdimm/security: ensure sysfs poll thread woke up and fetch updated attr</title>

commit 7d988097c546 ("acpi/nfit, libnvdimm/security: Add security DSM overwrite support")
adds a sysfs_notify_dirent() to wake up userspace poll thread when the "overwrite"
operation has completed. But the notification is issued before the internal
dimm security state and flags have been updated, so the userspace poll thread
wakes up and fetches the not-yet-updated attr and falls back to sleep, forever.
But if user from another terminal issue "ndctl wait-overwrite nmemX" again,
the command returns instantly.
