Pull gcc plugins update from Kees Cook:
 "This adds a new gcc plugin named "latent_entropy". It is designed to
  extract as much possible uncertainty from a running system at boot
  time as possible, hoping to capitalize on any possible variation in
  CPU operation (due to runtime data differences, hardware differences,
  SMP ordering, thermal timing variation, cache behavior, etc).

  At the very least, this plugin is a much more comprehensive example
  for how to manipulate kernel code using the gcc plugin internals"

Pull more misc uaccess and vfs updates from Al Viro:
 "The rest of the stuff from -next (more uaccess work) + assorted fixes"

* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs:
  score: traps: Add missing include file to fix build error
  fs/super.c: don't fool lockdep in freeze_super() and thaw_super() paths
  fs/super.c: fix race between freeze_super() and thaw_super()
  overlayfs: Fix setting IOP_XATTR flag
  iov_iter: kernel-doc import_iovec() and rw_copy_check_uvector()
  blackfin: no access_ok() for __copy_{to,from}_user()
  arm64: don't zero in __copy_from_user{,_inatomic}
  arm: don't zero in __copy_from_user_inatomic()/__copy_from_user()
  arc: don't leak bits of kernel stack into coredump
  alpha: get rid of tail-zeroing in __copy_user()

Both import_iovec() and rw_copy_check_uvector() take an array
(typically small and on-stack) which is used to hold an iovec array copy
from userspace. This is to avoid an expensive memory allocation in the
fast path (i.e. few iovec elements).

The caller may have to check whether these functions actually used
the provided buffer or allocated a new one -- but this differs between
the too. Let's just add a kernel doc to clarify what the semantics are
for each function.

Pull percpu updates from Tejun Heo:

 - Nick improved generic implementations of percpu operations which
   modify the variable and return so that they calculate the physical
   address only once.

 - percpu_ref percpu <-> atomic mode switching improvements. The
   patchset was originally posted about a year ago but fell through the
   crack.

There's no point in collecting coverage from lib/stackdepot.c, as it is
not a function of syscall inputs.  Disabling kcov instrumentation for that
file will reduce the coverage noise level.

Today there are platforms with many CPUs (up to 4K).  Trying to boot only
part of the CPUs may result in too long string.

For example lets take NPS platform that is part of arch/arc.  This
platform have SMP system with 256 cores each with 16 HW threads (SMT
machine) where HW thread appears as CPU to the kernel.  In this example
there is total of 4K CPUs.  When one tries to boot only part of the HW
threads from each core the string representing the map may be long...  For
example if for sake of performance we decided to boot only first half of
HW threads of each core the map will look like:
0-7,16-23,32-39,...,4080-4087

This patch introduce new syntax to accommodate with such use case.  I
added an optional postfix to a range of CPUs which will choose according
to given modulo the desired range of reminders i.e.:

    <cpus range>:sed_size/group_size

For example, above map can be described in new syntax like this:
0-4095:8/16

Note that this patch is backward compatible with current syntax.

Set "overflow" bit upon encountering it instead of postponing to the end
of the conversion. Somehow gcc unwedges itself and generates better code:

	$ ./scripts/bloat-o-meter ../vmlinux-000 ../obj/vmlinux
	_parse_integer                      177     139     -38

Inspired by patch from Zhaoxiu Zeng.

The strncpy_from_user() accessor is effectively a copy_from_user()
specialised to copy strings, terminating early at a NUL byte if possible.
In other respects it is identical, and can be used to copy an arbitrarily
large buffer from userspace into the kernel.  Conceptually, it exposes a
similar attack surface.

As with copy_from_user(), we check the destination range when the kernel
is built with KASAN, but unlike copy_from_user() we do not check the
destination buffer when using HARDENED_USERCOPY.  As strncpy_from_user()
calls get_user() in a loop, we must call check_object_size() explicitly.

This patch adds this instrumentation to strncpy_from_user(), per the same
rationale as with the regular copy_from_user().  In the absence of
hardened usercopy this will have no impact as the instrumentation expands
to an empty static inline function.
