Pull arm64 fixes from Will Deacon:
 "The big one is a fix for the VHE enabling path during early boot,
  where the code enabling the MMU wasn't necessarily in the identity map
  of the new page-tables, resulting in a consistent crash with 64k
  pages. In fixing that, we noticed some missing barriers too, so we
  added those for the sake of architectural compliance.

  Other than that, just the usual merge window trickle. There'll be more
  to come, too.

  Summary:

   - Fix lockdep false alarm on resume-from-cpuidle path

   - Fix memory leak in kexec_file

   - Fix module linker script to work with GDB

   - Fix error code when trying to use uprobes with AArch32 instructions

   - Fix late VHE enabling with 64k pages

   - Add missing ISBs after TLB invalidation

   - Fix seccomp when tracing syscall -1

   - Fix stacktrace return code at end of stack

   - Fix inconsistent whitespace for pointer return values

   - Fix compiler warnings when building with W=1"

IMA allocates kernel virtual memory to carry forward the measurement
list, from the current kernel to the next kernel on kexec system call,
in ima_add_kexec_buffer() function.  This buffer is not freed before
completing the kexec system call resulting in memory leak.

Add ima_buffer field in "struct kimage" to store the virtual address
of the buffer allocated for the IMA measurement list.
Free the memory allocated for the IMA measurement list in
kimage_file_post_load_cleanup() function.

<title>kexec_file: Allow archs to handle special regions while locating memory hole</title>

Some architectures may have special memory regions, within the given
memory range, which can't be used for the buffer in a kexec segment.
Implement weak arch_kexec_locate_mem_hole() definition which arch code
may override, to take care of special regions, while trying to locate
a memory hole.

Also, add the missing declarations for arch overridable functions and
and drop the __weak descriptors in the declarations to avoid non-weak
definitions from becoming weak.

<title>kexec: Replace zero-length array with flexible-array</title>

There is a regular need in the kernel to provide a way to declare having a
dynamically sized set of trailing elements in a structure. Kernel code should
always use “flexible array members”[1] for these cases. The older style of
one-element or zero-length arrays should no longer be used[2].

Pull kernel lockdown mode from James Morris:
 "This is the latest iteration of the kernel lockdown patchset, from
  Matthew Garrett, David Howells and others.

  From the original description:

    This patchset introduces an optional kernel lockdown feature,
    intended to strengthen the boundary between UID 0 and the kernel.
    When enabled, various pieces of kernel functionality are restricted.
    Applications that rely on low-level access to either hardware or the
    kernel may cease working as a result - therefore this should not be
    enabled without appropriate evaluation beforehand.

    The majority of mainstream distributions have been carrying variants
    of this patchset for many years now, so there's value in providing a
    doesn't meet every distribution requirement, but gets us much closer
    to not requiring external patches.

  There are two major changes since this was last proposed for mainline:

   - Separating lockdown from EFI secure boot. Background discussion is
     covered here: https://lwn.net/Articles/751061/

   -  Implementation as an LSM, with a default stackable lockdown LSM
      module. This allows the lockdown feature to be policy-driven,
      rather than encoding an implicit policy within the mechanism.

  The new locked_down LSM hook is provided to allow LSMs to make a
  policy decision around whether kernel functionality that would allow
  tampering with or examining the runtime state of the kernel should be
  permitted.

  The included lockdown LSM provides an implementation with a simple
  policy intended for general purpose use. This policy provides a coarse
  level of granularity, controllable via the kernel command line:

    lockdown={integrity|confidentiality}

  Enable the kernel lockdown feature. If set to integrity, kernel features
  that allow userland to modify the running kernel are disabled. If set to
  confidentiality, kernel features that allow userland to extract
  confidential information from the kernel are also disabled.

  This may also be controlled via /sys/kernel/security/lockdown and
  overriden by kernel configuration.

  New or existing LSMs may implement finer-grained controls of the
  lockdown features. Refer to the lockdown_reason documentation in
  include/linux/security.h for details.

  The lockdown feature has had signficant design feedback and review
  across many subsystems. This code has been in linux-next for some
  weeks, with a few fixes applied along the way.

  Stephen Rothwell noted that commit 9d1f8be5cf42 ("bpf: Restrict bpf
  when kernel lockdown is in confidentiality mode") is missing a
  Signed-off-by from its author. Matthew responded that he is providing
  this under category (c) of the DCO"

commit 9ec4ecef0af7 ("kexec_file,x86,powerpc: factor out kexec_file_ops

We're not using them, so we can drop the parsing.

Right now powerpc provides an implementation to read elf files
with the kexec_file_load() syscall. Make that available as a public
kexec interface so it can be re-used on other architectures.

<title>kexec_file: split KEXEC_VERIFY_SIG into KEXEC_SIG and KEXEC_SIG_FORCE</title>

This is a preparatory patch for kexec_file_load() lockdown.  A locked down
kernel needs to prevent unsigned kernel images from being loaded with
kexec_file_load().  Currently, the only way to force the signature
verification is compiling with KEXEC_VERIFY_SIG.  This prevents loading
usigned images even when the kernel is not locked down at runtime.

This patch splits KEXEC_VERIFY_SIG into KEXEC_SIG and KEXEC_SIG_FORCE.
Analogous to the MODULE_SIG and MODULE_SIG_FORCE for modules, KEXEC_SIG
turns on the signature verification but allows unsigned images to be
loaded.  KEXEC_SIG_FORCE disallows images without a valid signature.
