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.

The reason is that kernel always prints the values of the next PT_LOAD
instead of the current PT_LOAD. Change it to ensure that we can get the
correct debugging information.

<title>kexec: Improve &amp; fix crash_exclude_mem_range() to handle overlapping ranges</title>

<id>a2e9a95d2190ef55bf0724ecdf8a466d393a86b6</id>
<content type='text'>
The crash_exclude_mem_range() function can only handle one memory region a time.

It will fail in the case in which the passed in area covers several memory
regions. In this case, it will only exclude the first region, then return,
but leave the later regions unsolved.

E.g in a NEC system with two usable RAM regions inside the low 1M:

  ...
  BIOS-e820: [mem 0x0000000000000000-0x000000000003efff] usable
  BIOS-e820: [mem 0x000000000003f000-0x000000000003ffff] reserved
  BIOS-e820: [mem 0x0000000000040000-0x000000000009ffff] usable

It will only exclude the memory region [0, 0x3efff], the memory region
[0x40000, 0x9ffff] will still be added into /proc/vmcore, which may cause
the following failure when dumping vmcore:

 ioremap on RAM at 0x0000000000040000 - 0x0000000000040fff
 WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 665 at arch/x86/mm/ioremap.c:186 __ioremap_caller+0x2c7/0x2e0
 ...
 RIP: 0010:__ioremap_caller+0x2c7/0x2e0
 ...
 cp: error reading '/proc/vmcore': Cannot allocate memory
 kdump: saving vmcore failed

In order to fix this bug, let's extend the crash_exclude_mem_range()
to handle the overlapping ranges.

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

<content type='text'>
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>ima: Support additional conditionals in the KEXEC_CMDLINE hook function</title>

<id>4834177e633258fbf3c5754b1220f01c705b79eb</id>
<content type='text'>
Take the properties of the kexec kernel's inode and the current task
ownership into consideration when matching a KEXEC_CMDLINE operation to
the rules in the IMA policy. This allows for some uniformity when
writing IMA policy rules for KEXEC_KERNEL_CHECK, KEXEC_INITRAMFS_CHECK,
and KEXEC_CMDLINE operations.

Prior to this patch, it was not possible to write a set of rules like
this:

 dont_measure func=KEXEC_KERNEL_CHECK obj_type=foo_t
 dont_measure func=KEXEC_INITRAMFS_CHECK obj_type=foo_t
 dont_measure func=KEXEC_CMDLINE obj_type=foo_t
 measure func=KEXEC_KERNEL_CHECK
 measure func=KEXEC_INITRAMFS_CHECK
 measure func=KEXEC_CMDLINE

The inode information associated with the kernel being loaded by a
kexec_kernel_load(2) syscall can now be included in the decision to
measure or not

Additonally, the uid, euid, and subj_* conditionals can also now be
used in KEXEC_CMDLINE rules. There was no technical reason as to why
those conditionals weren't being considered previously other than
ima_match_rules() didn't have a valid inode to use so it immediately
bailed out for KEXEC_CMDLINE operations rather than going through the
full list of conditional comparisons.

<title>kexec: do not verify the signature without the lockdown or mandatory signature</title>

<content type='text'>
Signature verification is an important security feature, to protect
system from being attacked with a kernel of unknown origin.  Kexec
rebooting is a way to replace the running kernel, hence need be secured
carefully.

In the current code of handling signature verification of kexec kernel,
the logic is very twisted.  It mixes signature verification, IMA
signature appraising and kexec lockdown.

If there is no KEXEC_SIG_FORCE, kexec kernel image doesn't have one of
signature, the supported crypto, and key, we don't think this is wrong,
Unless kexec lockdown is executed.  IMA is considered as another kind of
signature appraising method.

If kexec kernel image has signature/crypto/key, it has to go through the
signature verification and pass.  Otherwise it's seen as verification
failure, and won't be loaded.

Seems kexec kernel image with an unqualified signature is even worse
than those w/o signature at all, this sounds very unreasonable.  E.g.
If people get a unsigned kernel to load, or a kernel signed with expired
key, which one is more dangerous?

So, here, let's simplify the logic to improve code readability.  If the
KEXEC_SIG_FORCE enabled or kexec lockdown enabled, signature
verification is mandated.  Otherwise, we lift the bar for any kernel
image.

Memory flagged with IORESOURCE_MEM_DRIVER_MANAGED is special - it won't be

accessible.  Don't place any kexec images onto it.

It is the same as machine_kexec_prepare(), but is called after segments are
loaded. This way, can do processing work with already loaded relocation
segments. One such example is arm64: it has to have segments loaded in
order to create a page table, but it cannot do it during kexec time,
because at that time allocations won't be possible anymore.
