Pull AFS updates from David Howells:
 "kAFS filesystem driver overhaul.

  The major points of the overhaul are:

   (1) Preliminary groundwork is laid for supporting network-namespacing
       of kAFS. The remainder of the namespacing work requires some way
       to pass namespace information to submounts triggered by an
       automount. This requires something like the mount overhaul that's
       in progress.

   (2) sockaddr_rxrpc is used in preference to in_addr for holding
       addresses internally and add support for talking to the YFS VL
       server. With this, kAFS can do everything over IPv6 as well as
       IPv4 if it's talking to servers that support it.

   (3) Callback handling is overhauled to be generally passive rather
       than active. 'Callbacks' are promises by the server to tell us
       about data and metadata changes. Callbacks are now checked when
       we next touch an inode rather than actively going and looking for
       it where possible.

   (4) File access permit caching is overhauled to store the caching
       information per-inode rather than per-directory, shared over
       subordinate files. Whilst older AFS servers only allow ACLs on
       directories (shared to the files in that directory), newer AFS
       servers break that restriction.

       To improve memory usage and to make it easier to do mass-key
       removal, permit combinations are cached and shared.

   (5) Cell database management is overhauled to allow lighter locks to
       be used and to make cell records autonomous state machines that
       look after getting their own DNS records and cleaning themselves
       up, in particular preventing races in acquiring and relinquishing
       the fscache token for the cell.

   (6) Volume caching is overhauled. The afs_vlocation record is got rid
       of to simplify things and the superblock is now keyed on the cell
       and the numeric volume ID only. The volume record is tied to a
       superblock and normal superblock management is used to mediate
       the lifetime of the volume fscache token.

   (7) File server record caching is overhauled to make server records
       independent of cells and volumes. A server can be in multiple
       cells (in such a case, the administrator must make sure that the
       VL services for all cells correctly reflect the volumes shared
       between those cells).

       Server records are now indexed using the UUID of the server
       rather than the address since a server can have multiple
       addresses.

   (8) File server rotation is overhauled to handle VMOVED, VBUSY (and
       similar), VOFFLINE and VNOVOL indications and to handle rotation
       both of servers and addresses of those servers. The rotation will
       also wait and retry if the server says it is busy.

   (9) Data writeback is overhauled. Each inode no longer stores a list
       of modified sections tagged with the key that authorised it in
       favour of noting the modified region of a page in page-&gt;private
       and storing a list of keys that made modifications in the inode.

       This simplifies things and allows other keys to be used to
       actually write to the server if a key that made a modification
       becomes useless.

  (10) Writable mmap() is implemented. This allows a kernel to be build
       entirely on AFS.

  Note that Pre AFS-3.4 servers are no longer supported, though this can
  be added back if necessary (AFS-3.4 was released in 1998)"

The kexec/kdump tools need to know where the .bss is so it can be
included in the core dump.  This allows vmcore-dmesg to have access to
the dmesg buffers of the crashed kernel as well as allowing the
debugger to examine variables in the bss section.

Add a request for the bss resource in addition to the already
requested code and data sections.

<title>Pass mode to wait_on_atomic_t() action funcs and provide default actions</title>

Make wait_on_atomic_t() pass the TASK_* mode onto its action function as an
extra argument and make it 'unsigned int throughout.

Also, consolidate a bunch of identical action functions into a default
function that can do the appropriate thing for the mode.

Also, change the argument name in the bit_wait*() function declarations to
reflect the fact that it's the mode and not the bit number.

[Peter Z gives this a grudging ACK, but thinks that the whole atomic_t wait
should be done differently, though he's not immediately sure as to how]

<title>MIPS/ptrace: Update syscall nr on register changes</title>

<id>de8cd0dc834f2294bcf20240ea037c3864bc4f9a</id>
<content type='text'>
Update the thread_info::syscall field when registers are modified via
ptrace to change or cancel the system call being entered.

This is important to allow seccomp and the syscall entry and exit trace
events to observe the new syscall number changed by the normal ptrace
hook or seccomp. That includes allowing seccomp's recheck of the system
call number after SECCOMP_RET_TRACE to notice if the syscall is changed
to a denied one, which happens in seccomp since commit ce6526e8afa4
("seccomp: recheck the syscall after RET_TRACE") in v4.8.

In the process of doing this, the logic to determine whether an indirect
system call is in progress (i.e. the O32 ABI's syscall()) is abstracted
into mips_syscall_is_indirect(), and a new mips_syscall_update_nr() is
used to update the thread_info::syscall based on the register state.

The following ptrace operations are updated:
 - PTRACE_SETREGS (ptrace_setregs()).
 - PTRACE_SETREGSET with NT_PRSTATUS (gpr32_set() and gpr64_set()).
 - PTRACE_POKEUSR with 2/v0 or 4/a0 for indirect syscall
   ([compat_]arch_ptrace()).

<title>MIPS/ptrace: Pick up ptrace/seccomp changed syscalls</title>

<id>b6318a903d068e2319eaef95966f4440114973f7</id>
<content type='text'>
The MIPS syscall_trace_enter() allows the system call number to be
altered or cancelled by a ptrace tracer, via the normal ptrace hook
(PTRACE_SYSCALL) and changing the system call number register on entry,
and similarly via seccomp (PTRACE_EVENT_SECCOMP when a seccomp filter
returns SECCOMP_RET_TRACE).

Be sure to update the syscall local variable if this happens, so that
seccomp will filter the correct system call number if the normal ptrace
hook changes it first, and so that if either the normal ptrace hook or
seccomp change it the correct system call number is passed to the trace
event.

This won't have any effect until the next commit, which fixes ptrace to
update thread_info::syscall.

Fix a commit 7aeb753b5353 ("MIPS: Implement task_user_regset_view.")
regression, then activated by commit 6a9c001b7ec3 ("MIPS: Switch ELF
core dumper to use regsets.)", that caused n32 processes to dump o32
core files by failing to set the EF_MIPS_ABI2 flag in the ELF core file
header's `e_flags' member:

$ file tls-core
tls-core: ELF 32-bit MSB executable, MIPS, N32 MIPS64 rel2 version 1 (SYSV), [...]
$ ./tls-core
Aborted (core dumped)
$ file core
core: ELF 32-bit MSB core file MIPS, MIPS-I version 1 (SYSV), SVR4-style
$

Previously the flag was set as the result of a:

statement placed in arch/mips/kernel/binfmt_elfn32.c, however in the
regset case, i.e. when CORE_DUMP_USE_REGSET is set, ELF_CORE_EFLAGS is
no longer used by `fill_note_info' in fs/binfmt_elf.c, and instead the
`-&gt;e_flags' member of the regset view chosen is.  We have the views
defined in arch/mips/kernel/ptrace.c, however only an o32 and an n64
one, and the latter is used for n32 as well.  Consequently an o32 core
file is incorrectly dumped from n32 processes (the ELF32 vs ELF64 class
is chosen elsewhere, and the 32-bit one is correctly selected for n32).

Correct the issue then by defining an n32 regset view and using it as
appropriate.  Issue discovered in GDB testing.

<title>MIPS: Fix MIPS64 FP save/restore on 32-bit kernels</title>

<content type='text'>
32-bit kernels can be configured to support MIPS64, in which case
neither CONFIG_64BIT or CONFIG_CPU_MIPS32_R* will be set. This causes
the CP0_Status.FR checks at the point of floating point register save
and restore to be compiled out, which results in odd FP registers not
being saved or restored to the task or signal context even when
CP0_Status.FR is set.

Fix the ifdefs to use CONFIG_CPU_MIPSR2 and CONFIG_CPU_MIPSR6, which are
enabled for the relevant revisions of either MIPS32 or MIPS64, along
with some other CPUs such as Octeon (r2), Loongson1 (r2), XLP (r2),
Loongson 3A R2.

The suspect code originates from commit 597ce1723e0f ("MIPS: Support for
64-bit FP with O32 binaries") in v3.14, however the code in
__enable_fpu() was consistent and refused to set FR=1, falling back to
software FPU emulation. This was suboptimal but should be functionally
correct.

Commit fcc53b5f6c38 ("MIPS: fpu.h: Allow 64-bit FPU on a 64-bit MIPS R6
CPU") in v4.2 (and stable tagged back to 4.0) later introduced the bug
by updating __enable_fpu() to set FR=1 but failing to update the other
similar ifdefs to enable FR=1 state handling.
