init_resources() allocates an array of resources, based on the current
total number of memory regions and reserved memory regions. However,
allocating this array using memblock_alloc() might increase the number
of reserved memory regions. If that happens, populating the array later
based on the new number of regions will cause out-of-bounds writes
beyond the end of the allocated array.
Fix this by allocating one more entry, which may or may not be used.

Pull io_uring thread rewrite from Jens Axboe:
"This converts the io-wq workers to be forked off the tasks in question
instead of being kernel threads that assume various bits of the
original task identity.
This kills > 400 lines of code from io_uring/io-wq, and it's the worst
part of the code. We've had several bugs in this area, and the worry
is always that we could be missing some pieces for file types doing
unusual things (recent /dev/tty example comes to mind, userfaultfd
reads installing file descriptors is another fun one... - both of
which need special handling, and I bet it's not the last weird oddity
we'll find).
With these identical workers, we can have full confidence that we're
never missing anything. That, in itself, is a huge win. Outside of
that, it's also more efficient since we're not wasting space and code
on tracking state, or switching between different states.
I'm sure we're going to find little things to patch up after this
series, but testing has been pretty thorough, from the usual
regression suite to production. Any issue that may crop up should be
manageable.
There's also a nice series of further reductions we can do on top of
this, but I wanted to get the meat of it out sooner rather than later.
The general worry here isn't that it's fundamentally broken. Most of
the little issues we've found over the last week have been related to
just changes in how thread startup/exit is done, since that's the main
difference between using kthreads and these kinds of threads. In fact,
if all goes according to plan, I want to get this into the 5.10 and
5.11 stable branches as well.
That said, the changes outside of io_uring/io-wq are:
- arch setup, simple one-liner to each arch copy_thread()
implementation.
- Removal of net and proc restrictions for io_uring, they are no
longer needed or useful"

Neither of these are actually correct: the instruction stream is defined
(for versions of the ISA manual newer than 2.2) as a stream of 16-bit
little-endian parcels, which is different than just being little-endian.
In theory we should represent this as a type, but we don't have any
concrete plans for the big endian stuff so it doesn't seem worth the
time -- we've got variants of this all over the place.
Instead I'm just dropping the unnecessary type conversion, which is a
NOP on LE systems but causes an sparse error as the types are all mixed
up.

Sometimes, especially in a production system we may not want to
use a "smart bootloader" like u-boot to load kernel, ramdisk and
device tree from a filesystem on eMMC, but rather load the kernel
from a NAND partition and just run it as soon as we can, and in
this case it is convenient to have device tree compiled into the
kernel binary. Since this case is not limited to MMU-less systems,
let's support it for these which have MMU enabled too.
While at it, provide __dtb_start as a parameter to setup_vm() in
BUILTIN_DTB case, so we don't have to duplicate BUILTIN_DTB specific

This patch enables "kprobe & kretprobe" to work with ftrace

mechanism.
Some instructions which can't be single-step executed must be
simulated in kernel execution slot, such as: branch, jal, auipc,

Some instructions should be rejected for probing and we use a
blacklist to filter, such as: ecall, ebreak, ...
We use ebreak & c.ebreak to replace origin instruction and the
kprobe handler prepares an executable memory slot for out-of-line
execution with a copy of the original instruction being probed.
In execution slot we add ebreak behind original instruction to
simulate a single-setp mechanism.

This patch changes the current detour mechanism of dynamic ftrace
which has been discussed during LPC 2020 RISCV-MC [1].
Before the patch, we used mcount for detour:
<funca>:
addi sp,sp,-16
sd ra,8(sp)
sd s0,0(sp)
addi s0,sp,16
mv a5,ra
mv a0,a5
auipc ra,0x0 -> nop
jalr -296(ra) <_mcount@plt> ->nop
...
After the patch, we use nop call site area for detour:
<funca>:
nop -> REG_S ra, -SZREG(sp)
nop -> auipc ra, 0x?
nop -> jalr ?(ra)
nop -> REG_L ra, -SZREG(sp)
...
The mcount mechanism is mixed with gcc function prologue which is
not very clear. The patchable function entry just put 16 bytes nop
before the front of the function prologue which could be filled
with a separated detour mechanism.

All SiPeed K210 MAIX boards have the exact same vendor, arch and

device tree to use through the SOC_BUILTIN_DTB_DECLARE() macro. This
result in this macro to be useless and mandates changing the code of
the sysctl driver to change the builtin device tree suitable for the
target board.
Fix this problem by removing the SOC_BUILTIN_DTB_DECLARE() macro since
it is used only for the K210 support. The code searching the builtin
DTBs using the vendor, arch an implementation IDs is also removed.
Support for builtin DTB falls back to the simpler and more traditional

With any luck we'll sort out the issue, but given how many bugs get

Pull TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL updates from Jens Axboe:
"This sits on top of of the core entry/exit and x86 entry branch from
the tip tree, which contains the generic and x86 parts of this work.
Here we convert the rest of the archs to support TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL.
With that done, we can get rid of JOBCTL_TASK_WORK from task_work and
signal.c, and also remove a deadlock work-around in io_uring around
knowing that signal based task_work waking is invoked with the sighand
wait queue head lock.
The motivation for this work is to decouple signal notify based
task_work, of which io_uring is a heavy user of, from sighand. The
sighand lock becomes a huge contention point, particularly for
threaded workloads where it's shared between threads. Even outside of
threaded applications it's slower than it needs to be.
Roman Gershman <romger@amazon.com> reported that his networked
workload dropped from 1.6M QPS at 80% CPU to 1.0M QPS at 100% CPU
after io_uring was changed to use TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL. The time was all
spent hammering on the sighand lock, showing 57% of the CPU time there
[1].
There are further cleanups possible on top of this. One example is
TIF_PATCH_PENDING, where a patch already exists to use
TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL instead. Hopefully this will also lead to more
consolidation, but the work stands on its own as well"
