Pull more random number generator updates from Jason Donenfeld:
 "This time with some large scale treewide cleanups.

  The intent of this pull is to clean up the way callers fetch random
  integers. The current rules for doing this right are:

   - If you want a secure or an insecure random u64, use get_random_u64()

   - If you want a secure or an insecure random u32, use get_random_u32()

     The old function prandom_u32() has been deprecated for a while
     now and is just a wrapper around get_random_u32(). Same for
     get_random_int().

   - If you want a secure or an insecure random u16, use get_random_u16()

   - If you want a secure or an insecure random u8, use get_random_u8()

   - If you want secure or insecure random bytes, use get_random_bytes().

     The old function prandom_bytes() has been deprecated for a while
     now and has long been a wrapper around get_random_bytes()

   - If you want a non-uniform random u32, u16, or u8 bounded by a
     certain open interval maximum, use prandom_u32_max()

     I say "non-uniform", because it doesn't do any rejection sampling
     or divisions. Hence, it stays within the prandom_*() namespace, not
     the get_random_*() namespace.

     I'm currently investigating a "uniform" function for 6.2. We'll see
     what comes of that.

  By applying these rules uniformly, we get several benefits:

   - By using prandom_u32_max() with an upper-bound that the compiler
     can prove at compile-time is ≤65536 or ≤256, internally
     get_random_u16() or get_random_u8() is used, which wastes fewer
     batched random bytes, and hence has higher throughput.

   - By using prandom_u32_max() instead of %, when the upper-bound is
     not a constant, division is still avoided, because
     prandom_u32_max() uses a faster multiplication-based trick instead.

   - By using get_random_u16() or get_random_u8() in cases where the
     return value is intended to indeed be a u16 or a u8, we waste fewer
     batched random bytes, and hence have higher throughput.

  This series was originally done by hand while I was on an airplane
  without Internet. Later, Kees and I worked on retroactively figuring
  out what could be done with Coccinelle and what had to be done
  manually, and then we split things up based on that.

  So while this touches a lot of files, the actual amount of code that's
  hand fiddled is comfortably small"

When building with a RISC-V kernel with DWARF5 debug info using clang
and the GNU assembler, several instances of the following error appear:

  /tmp/vgettimeofday-48aa35.s:2963: Error: non-constant .uleb128 is not supported

Dumping the .s file reveals these .uleb128 directives come from
.debug_loc and .debug_ranges:

  .Ldebug_loc0:
          .byte   4                               # DW_LLE_offset_pair
          .uleb128 .Lfunc_begin0-.Lfunc_begin0    #   starting offset
          .uleb128 .Ltmp1-.Lfunc_begin0           #   ending offset
          .byte   1                               # Loc expr size
          .byte   90                              # DW_OP_reg10
          .byte   0                               # DW_LLE_end_of_list

  .Ldebug_ranges0:
          .byte   4                               # DW_RLE_offset_pair
          .uleb128 .Ltmp6-.Lfunc_begin0           #   starting offset
          .uleb128 .Ltmp27-.Lfunc_begin0          #   ending offset
          .byte   4                               # DW_RLE_offset_pair
          .uleb128 .Ltmp28-.Lfunc_begin0          #   starting offset
          .uleb128 .Ltmp30-.Lfunc_begin0          #   ending offset
          .byte   0                               # DW_RLE_end_of_list

There is an outstanding binutils issue to support a non-constant operand
to .sleb128 and .uleb128 in GAS for RISC-V but there does not appear to
be any movement on it, due to concerns over how it would work with
linker relaxation.

To avoid these build errors, prevent DWARF5 from being selected when
using clang and an assembler that does not have support for these symbol
deltas, which can be easily checked in Kconfig with as-instr plus the
small test program from the dwz test suite from the binutils issue.

<title>mm: free device private pages have zero refcount</title>

<content type='text'>
Since 27674ef6c73f ("mm: remove the extra ZONE_DEVICE struct page
refcount") device private pages have no longer had an extra reference
count when the page is in use.  However before handing them back to the
owning device driver we add an extra reference count such that free pages
have a reference count of one.

This makes it difficult to tell if a page is free or not because both free
and in use pages will have a non-zero refcount.  Instead we should return
pages to the drivers page allocator with a zero reference count.  Kernel
code can then safely use kernel functions such as get_page_unless_zero().

Patch series "Fix several device private page reference counting issues",
v2

This series aims to fix a number of page reference counting issues in
drivers dealing with device private ZONE_DEVICE pages.  These result in
use-after-free type bugs, either from accessing a struct page which no
longer exists because it has been removed or accessing fields within the
struct page which are no longer valid because the page has been freed.

During normal usage it is unlikely these will cause any problems.  However
without these fixes it is possible to crash the kernel from userspace. 
These crashes can be triggered either by unloading the kernel module or
unbinding the device from the driver prior to a userspace task exiting. 
In modules such as Nouveau it is also possible to trigger some of these
issues by explicitly closing the device file-descriptor prior to the task
exiting and then accessing device private memory.

This involves some minor changes to both PowerPC and AMD GPU code. 
Unfortunately I lack hardware to test either of those so any help there
would be appreciated.  The changes mimic what is done in for both Nouveau
and hmm-tests though so I doubt they will cause problems.


This patch (of 8):

When the CPU tries to access a device private page the migrate_to_ram()
callback associated with the pgmap for the page is called.  However no
reference is taken on the faulting page.  Therefore a concurrent migration
of the device private page can free the page and possibly the underlying
pgmap.  This results in a race which can crash the kernel due to the
migrate_to_ram() function pointer becoming invalid.  It also means drivers
can't reliably read the zone_device_data field because the page may have
been freed with memunmap_pages().

Close the race by getting a reference on the page while holding the ptl to
ensure it has not been freed.  Unfortunately the elevated reference count
will cause the migration required to handle the fault to fail.  To avoid
this failure pass the faulting page into the migrate_vma functions so that
if an elevated reference count is found it can be checked to see if it's
expected or not.

alloc_pages(), kmalloc() and vmalloc() are all memory allocation functions
which can return NULL when some internal memory failures happen.  So it is
better to check the return of them to catch the failure in time for better
test them.
