__copy_to_user_memcpy() and __clear_user_memset() had been calling
memcpy() and memset() respectively, leading to false-positive KASAN
reports when starting userspace:

    [   10.747260] Write of size 2687 at addr 000de581 by task init/1

Use __memcpy() and __memset() instead to allow userspace access, which
is of course the intent of these functions.

<title>ARM: 9263/1: use .arch directives instead of assembler command line flags</title>

<content type='text'>
Similar to commit a6c30873ee4a ("ARM: 8989/1: use .fpu assembler
directives instead of assembler arguments").

GCC and GNU binutils support setting the "sub arch" via -march=,
-Wa,-march, target function attribute, and .arch assembler directive.

Clang was missing support for -Wa,-march=, but this was implemented in
clang-13.

The behavior of both GCC and Clang is to
prefer -Wa,-march= over -march= for assembler and assembler-with-cpp
sources, but Clang will warn about the -march= being unused.

clang: warning: argument unused during compilation: '-march=armv6k'
[-Wunused-command-line-argument]

Since most assembler is non-conditionally assembled with one sub arch
(modulo arch/arm/delay-loop.S which conditionally is assembled as armv4
based on CONFIG_ARCH_RPC, and arch/arm/mach-at91/pm-suspend.S which is
conditionally assembled as armv7-a based on CONFIG_CPU_V7), prefer the
.arch assembler directive.

Add a few more instances found in compile testing as found by Arnd and
Nathan.

<title>ARM: 9233/1: stacktrace: Skip frame pointer boundary check for call_with_stack()</title>

<id>5854e4d8530e6ed4c2532a71a6b0474e199d44dd</id>
<content type='text'>
When using the frame pointer unwinder, it was found that the stack trace
output of stack_trace_save() is incomplete if the stack contains
call_with_stack():

 [0x7f00002c] dump_stack_task+0x2c/0x90 [hrtimer]
 [0x7f0000a0] hrtimer_hander+0x10/0x18 [hrtimer]
 [0x801a67f0] __hrtimer_run_queues+0x1b0/0x3b4
 [0x801a7350] hrtimer_run_queues+0xc4/0xd8
 [0x801a597c] update_process_times+0x3c/0x88

 [0x8052e3a8] gic_handle_irq+0x7c/0x90
 [0x808ab15c] generic_handle_arch_irq+0x60/0x80
 [0x8051191c] call_with_stack+0x1c/0x20

For the frame pointer unwinder, unwind_frame() checks stackframe::fp by
stackframe::sp. Since call_with_stack() switches the SP from one stack
to another, stackframe::fp and stackframe: :sp will point to different
stacks, so we can no longer check stackframe::fp by stackframe::sp. Skip
checking stackframe::fp at this point to avoid this problem.

Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:
 "Most of the MM queue. A few things are still pending.

  Liam's maple tree rework didn't make it. This has resulted in a few
  other minor patch series being held over for next time.

  Multi-gen LRU still isn't merged as we were waiting for mapletree to
  stabilize. The current plan is to merge MGLRU into -mm soon and to
  later reintroduce mapletree, with a view to hopefully getting both
  into 6.1-rc1.

  Summary:

   - The usual batches of cleanups from Baoquan He, Muchun Song, Miaohe
     Lin, Yang Shi, Anshuman Khandual and Mike Rapoport

   - Some kmemleak fixes from Patrick Wang and Waiman Long

   - DAMON updates from SeongJae Park

   - memcg debug/visibility work from Roman Gushchin

   - vmalloc speedup from Uladzislau Rezki

   - more folio conversion work from Matthew Wilcox

   - enhancements for coherent device memory mapping from Alex Sierra

   - addition of shared pages tracking and CoW support for fsdax, from
     Shiyang Ruan

   - hugetlb optimizations from Mike Kravetz

   - Mel Gorman has contributed some pagealloc changes to improve
     latency and realtime behaviour.

   - mprotect soft-dirty checking has been improved by Peter Xu

   - Many other singleton patches all over the place"
