Wire up the rseq system call on x86 32/64.

This provides an ABI improving the speed of a user-space getcpu
operation on x86 by removing the need to perform a function call, "lsl"
instruction, or system call on the fast path, as well as improving the
speed of user-space operations on per-cpu data.

Call the rseq_handle_notify_resume() function on return to userspace if
TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME thread flag is set.

Perform fixup on the pre-signal frame when a signal is delivered on top
of a restartable sequence critical section.

Check that system calls are not invoked from within rseq critical
sections by invoking rseq_signal() from syscall_return_slowpath().
With CONFIG_DEBUG_RSEQ, such behavior results in termination of the
process with SIGSEGV.

Syscalls are not allowed inside restartable sequences, so add a call to
rseq_syscall() at the very beginning of system call exiting path for
CONFIG_DEBUG_RSEQ=y kernel. This could help us to detect whether there
is a syscall issued inside restartable sequences.

Expose a new system call allowing each thread to register one userspace
memory area to be used as an ABI between kernel and user-space for two
purposes: user-space restartable sequences and quick access to read the
current CPU number value from user-space.

* Restartable sequences (per-cpu atomics)

Restartables sequences allow user-space to perform update operations on
per-cpu data without requiring heavy-weight atomic operations.

The restartable critical sections (percpu atomics) work has been started
by Paul Turner and Andrew Hunter. It lets the kernel handle restart of
critical sections. [1] [2] The re-implementation proposed here brings a
few simplifications to the ABI which facilitates porting to other
architectures and speeds up the user-space fast path.

Here are benchmarks of various rseq use-cases.

Test hardware:

arm32: ARMv7 Processor rev 4 (v7l) "Cubietruck", 2-core
x86-64: Intel E5-2630 v3@2.40GHz, 16-core, hyperthreading

The following benchmarks were all performed on a single thread.

* Per-CPU statistic counter increment

                getcpu+atomic (ns/op)    rseq (ns/op)    speedup
arm32:                344.0                 31.4          11.0
x86-64:                15.3                  2.0           7.7

* LTTng-UST: write event 32-bit header, 32-bit payload into tracer
             per-cpu buffer

                getcpu+atomic (ns/op)    rseq (ns/op)    speedup
arm32:               2502.0                 2250.0         1.1
x86-64:               117.4                   98.0         1.2

* liburcu percpu: lock-unlock pair, dereference, read/compare word

                getcpu+atomic (ns/op)    rseq (ns/op)    speedup
arm32:                751.0                 128.5          5.8
x86-64:                53.4                  28.6          1.9

* jemalloc memory allocator adapted to use rseq

Using rseq with per-cpu memory pools in jemalloc at Facebook (based on
rseq 2016 implementation):

The production workload response-time has 1-2% gain avg. latency, and
the P99 overall latency drops by 2-3%.

* Reading the current CPU number

Speeding up reading the current CPU number on which the caller thread is
running is done by keeping the current CPU number up do date within the
cpu_id field of the memory area registered by the thread. This is done
by making scheduler preemption set the TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME flag on the
current thread. Upon return to user-space, a notify-resume handler
updates the current CPU value within the registered user-space memory
area. User-space can then read the current CPU number directly from
memory.

Keeping the current cpu id in a memory area shared between kernel and
user-space is an improvement over current mechanisms available to read
the current CPU number, which has the following benefits over
alternative approaches:

- 35x speedup on ARM vs system call through glibc
- 20x speedup on x86 compared to calling glibc, which calls vdso
  executing a "lsl" instruction,
- 14x speedup on x86 compared to inlined "lsl" instruction,
- Unlike vdso approaches, this cpu_id value can be read from an inline
  assembly, which makes it a useful building block for restartable
  sequences.
- The approach of reading the cpu id through memory mapping shared
  between kernel and user-space is portable (e.g. ARM), which is not the
  case for the lsl-based x86 vdso.

On x86, yet another possible approach would be to use the gs segment
selector to point to user-space per-cpu data. This approach performs
similarly to the cpu id cache, but it has two disadvantages: it is
not portable, and it is incompatible with existing applications already
using the gs segment selector for other purposes.

Benchmarking various approaches for reading the current CPU number:

ARMv7 Processor rev 4 (v7l)
Machine model: Cubietruck
- Baseline (empty loop):                                    8.4 ns
- Read CPU from rseq cpu_id:                               16.7 ns
- Read CPU from rseq cpu_id (lazy register):               19.8 ns
- glibc 2.19-0ubuntu6.6 getcpu:                           301.8 ns
- getcpu system call:                                     234.9 ns

x86-64 Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2630 v3 @ 2.40GHz:
- Baseline (empty loop):                                    0.8 ns
- Read CPU from rseq cpu_id:                                0.8 ns
- Read CPU from rseq cpu_id (lazy register):                0.8 ns
- Read using gs segment selector:                           0.8 ns
- "lsl" inline assembly:                                   13.0 ns
- glibc 2.19-0ubuntu6 getcpu:                              16.6 ns
- getcpu system call:                                      53.9 ns

- Speed (benchmark taken on v8 of patchset)

Running 10 runs of hackbench -l 100000 seems to indicate, contrary to
expectations, that enabling CONFIG_RSEQ slightly accelerates the
scheduler:

Configuration: 2 sockets * 8-core Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2630 v3 @
2.40GHz (directly on hardware, hyperthreading disabled in BIOS, energy
saving disabled in BIOS, turboboost disabled in BIOS, cpuidle.off=1
kernel parameter), with a Linux v4.6 defconfig+localyesconfig,
restartable sequences series applied.

* CONFIG_RSEQ=n

avg.:      41.37 s
std.dev.:   0.36 s

* CONFIG_RSEQ=y

avg.:      40.46 s
std.dev.:   0.33 s

- Size

On x86-64, between CONFIG_RSEQ=n/y, the text size increase of vmlinux is
567 bytes, and the data size increase of vmlinux is 5696 bytes.

Provide helper macros for fields which represent pointers in
kernel-userspace ABI. This facilitates handling of 32-bit
user-space by 64-bit kernels by defining those fields as
32-bit 0-padding and 32-bit integer on 32-bit architectures,
which allows the kernel to treat those as 64-bit integers.
The order of padding and 32-bit integer depends on the
endianness.

   exception because the field is stored in lowcore.

 - Support for level!?! triggered MSI (ARM)

   Over the past couple of years, we've seen some SoCs coming up with
   ways of signalling level interrupts using a new flavor of MSIs, where
   the MSI controller uses two distinct messages: one that raises a
   virtual line, and one that lowers it. The target MSI controller is in
   charge of maintaining the state of the line.

   This allows for a much simplified HW signal routing (no need to have
   hundreds of discrete lines to signal level interrupts if you already
   have a memory bus), but results in a departure from the current idea
   the kernel has of MSIs.

Pull siginfo updates from Eric Biederman:
 "This set of changes close the known issues with setting si_code to an
  invalid value, and with not fully initializing struct siginfo. There
  remains work to do on nds32, arc, unicore32, powerpc, arm, arm64, ia64
  and x86 to get the code that generates siginfo into a simpler and more
  maintainable state. Most of that work involves refactoring the signal
  handling code and thus careful code review.

  Also not included is the work to shrink the in kernel version of
  struct siginfo. That depends on getting the number of places that
  directly manipulate struct siginfo under control, as it requires the
  introduction of struct kernel_siginfo for the in kernel things.

  Overall this set of changes looks like it is making good progress, and

  fuse, and Miklos should be sending you the pull request for the fuse
  bits this merge window.

  The two key patches are "evm: Don't update hmacs in user ns mounts"
  and "vfs: Don't allow changing the link count of an inode with an
  invalid uid or gid". Those close small gaps in the vfs that would be a
  problem if an unprivileged fuse filesystem is mounted.

  user in a user namespace to do with a filesystem they have mounted.

We already earlier discouraged people from using this interface in
commit 88796e7e ("sched/swait: Document it clearly that the swait
facilities are special and shouldn't be used"), but I just got a pull
request with a new broken user.

So make the comment *really* clear.

The swait interfaces are bad, and should not be used unless you have
some *very* strong reasons that include tons of hard performance numbers
on just why you want to use them, and you show that you actually
understand that they aren't at all like the normal wait/wakeup
interfaces.

So far, every single user has been suspect.  The main user is KVM, which
is completely pointless (there is only ever one waiter, which avoids the
interface subtleties, but also means that having a queue instead of a
pointer is counter-productive and certainly not an "optimization").

So make the comments much stronger.

Not that anybody likely reads them anyway, but there's always some
slight hope that it will cause somebody to think twice.

I'd like to remove this interface entirely, but there is the theoretical
possibility that it's actually the right thing to use in some situation,
most likely some deep RT use.

Pull spi updates from Mark Brown:
 "Quite a busy release for SPI, mainly as a result of Boris Brezillon's
  work on improving the integration with MTD for accelerated SPI flash
  controllers. He's added a new spi_mem interface which works a lot
  better with general hardware and converted the users over to it, as a
  result of this work we've got some MTD changes in here as well.

  Other highlights include:

   - Lots of spring cleaning for the s3c64xx driver.

   - Removal of the bcm53xx, the hardware is also supported by the mspi
     driver but SoC naming had caused people to miss the duplication.

   - Conversion of the pxa2xx driver to use the standard message
     processing loop rather than open coding.

   - A bunch of improvements to the runtime PM of the OMAP McSPI driver"
