Pull kthread updates from Eric Biederman:
"This updates init and user mode helper tasks to be ordinary user mode
tasks.
Commit 40966e316f ("kthread: Ensure struct kthread is present for
all kthreads") caused init and the user mode helper threads that call
kernel_execve to have struct kthread allocated for them. This struct
kthread going away during execve in turned made a use after free of
struct kthread possible.
Here, commit 343f4c49f2 ("kthread: Don't allocate kthread_struct for
init and umh") is enough to fix the use after free and is simple
enough to be backportable.
The rest of the changes pass struct kernel_clone_args to clean things
up and cause the code to make sense.
In making init and the user mode helpers tasks purely user mode tasks
I ran into two complications. The function task_tick_numa was
detecting tasks without an mm by testing for the presence of
PF_KTHREAD. The initramfs code in populate_initrd_image was using
flush_delayed_fput to ensuere the closing of all it's file descriptors
was complete, and flush_delayed_fput does not work in a userspace
thread.

I have not found any, and neither has anyone else with the code

With the kernel 5.18, the system will hang on boot if it is compiled with
CONFIG_SCHED_MC. The last printed message is "Brought up 1 node, 1 CPU".
The crash happens in sd_init
tl->mask (which is cpu_coregroup_mask) returns an empty mask. This happens
because cpu_topology[0].core_sibling is empty.
Consequently, sd_span is set to an empty mask
sd_id = cpumask_first(sd_span) sets sd_id == NR_CPUS (because the mask is
empty)
sd->shared = *per_cpu_ptr(sdd->sds, sd_id); sets sd->shared to NULL
because sd_id is out of range
atomic_inc(&sd->shared->ref); crashes without printing anything
We can fix it by calling reset_cpu_topology() from init_cpu_topology() -
this will initialize the sibling masks on CPUs, so that they're not empty.
This patch also removes the variable "dualcores_found", it is useless,
because during boot, init_cpu_topology is called before
store_cpu_topology. Thus, set_sched_topology(parisc_mc_topology) is never
called. We don't need to call it at all because default_topology in
kernel/sched/topology.c contains the same items as parisc_mc_topology.
Note that we should not call store_cpu_topology() from init_per_cpu()
because it is called too early in the kernel initialization process and it
results in the message "Failure to register CPU0 device". Before this
patch, store_cpu_topology() would exit immediatelly because
cpuid_topo->core id was uninitialized and it was 0.

This change fixes the following:
1) The flags variable is not initialized. Always use raw_spin_lock_irqsave
and raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore to serialize patching.
2) flush_kernel_vmap_range is primarily intended for DMA flushes.
The whole cache flush in flush_kernel_vmap_range is only possible
when interrupts are enabled on SMP machines. Since __patch_text_multiple
calls flush_kernel_vmap_range with interrupts disabled, it is better
to directly call flush_kernel_dcache_range_asm and
flush_kernel_icache_range_asm.
3) The final call to flush_icache_range is unnecessary.
Tested with `[PATCH, V3] parisc: Rewrite cache flush code for
PA8800/PA8900' change on rp3440, c8000 and c3750 (32 and 64-bit).

Originally, I was convinced that we needed to use tmpalias flushes
everwhere, for both user and kernel flushes. However, when I modified
flush_kernel_dcache_page_addr, to use a tmpalias flush, my c8000
would crash quite early when booting.
The PDC returns alias values of 0 for the icache and dcache. This
indicates that either the alias boundary is greater than 16MB or
equivalent aliasing doesn't work. I modified the tmpalias code to
make it easy to try alternate boundaries. I tried boundaries up to
128MB but still kernel tmpalias flushes didn't work on c8000.
This led me to conclude that tmpalias flushes don't work on PA8800
and PA8900 machines, and that we needed to flush directly using the
virtual address of user and kernel pages. This is likely the major
cause of instability on the c8000 and rp34xx machines.
Flushing user pages requires doing a temporary context switch as we
have to flush pages that don't belong to the current context. Further,
we have to deal with pages that aren't present. If a page isn't
present, the flush instructions fault on every line.
Other code has been rearranged and simplified based on testing. For
example, I introduced a flush_cache_dup_mm routine. flush_cache_mm
and flush_cache_dup_mm differ in that flush_cache_mm calls
purge_cache_pages and flush_cache_dup_mm calls flush_cache_pages.
In some implementations, pdc is more efficient than fdc. Based on
my testing, I don't believe there's any performance benefit on the
c8000.

Add fn and fn_arg members into struct kernel_clone_args and test for
them in copy_thread (instead of testing for PF_KTHREAD | PF_IO_WORKER).
This allows any task that wants to be a user space task that only runs
in kernel mode to use this functionality.
The code on x86 is an exception and still retains a PF_KTHREAD test
because x86 unlikely everything else handles kthreads slightly
differently than user space tasks that start with a function.
The functions that created tasks that start with a function
have been updated to set ".fn" and ".fn_arg" instead of
".stack" and ".stack_size". These functions are fork_idle(),
create_io_thread(), kernel_thread(), and user_mode_thread().
