[ Upstream commit c3dea3d54f4d399f8044547f0f1abdccbdfb0fee ]

The allocated size in xen_swiotlb_alloc_coherent() and
xen_swiotlb_free_coherent() is calculated wrong for the case of
XEN_PAGE_SIZE not matching PAGE_SIZE. Fix that.

<title>xen/swiotlb: add alignment check for dma buffers</title>

<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit 9f40ec84a7976d95c34e7cc070939deb103652b0 ]

When checking a memory buffer to be consecutive in machine memory,
the alignment needs to be checked, too. Failing to do so might result
in DMA memory not being aligned according to its requested size,
leading to error messages like:

  4xxx 0000:2b:00.0: enabling device (0140 -&gt; 0142)
  4xxx 0000:2b:00.0: Ring address not aligned
  4xxx 0000:2b:00.0: Failed to initialise service qat_crypto
  4xxx 0000:2b:00.0: Resetting device qat_dev0
  4xxx: probe of 0000:2b:00.0 failed with error -14

<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit 611ff1b1ae989a7bcce3e2a8e132ee30e968c557 ]

Nothing prevents simultaneous ioctl calls to privcmd_irqfd_assign() and
privcmd_irqfd_deassign(). If that happens, it is possible that a kirqfd
created and added to the irqfds_list by privcmd_irqfd_assign() may get
removed by another thread executing privcmd_irqfd_deassign(), while the
former is still using it after dropping the locks.

This can lead to a situation where an already freed kirqfd instance may
be accessed and cause kernel oops.

Use SRCU locking to prevent the same, as is done for the KVM
implementation for irqfds.

[ Upstream commit 1c682593096a487fd9aebc079a307ff7a6d054a3 ]

irqfd_wakeup() gets EPOLLHUP, when it is called by
eventfd_release() by way of wake_up_poll(&amp;ctx-&gt;wqh, EPOLLHUP), which
gets called under spin_lock_irqsave(). We can't use a mutex here as it
will lead to a deadlock.

Fix it by switching over to a spin lock.

Currently, the late XenStore init protocol is only triggered properly
for the case that HVM_PARAM_STORE_PFN is ~0ULL (invalid). For the
case that XenStore interface is allocated but not ready (the connection
status is not XENSTORE_CONNECTED), Linux should also wait until the
XenStore is set up properly.

Introduce a macro to describe the XenStore interface is ready, use
it in xenbus_probe_initcall() to select the code path of doing the
late XenStore init protocol or not. Since now we have more than one
condition for XenStore late init, rework the check in xenbus_probe()
for the free_irq().

Take the opportunity to enhance the check of the allocated XenStore
interface can be properly mapped, and return error early if the
memremap() fails.

     maintainability work in the series "mm/treewide: Remove pXd_huge()
     API".

   - In the series "Allow migrate on protnone reference with

   - In their series "Memory allocation profiling" Kent Overstreet and
     Suren Baghdasaryan have contributed a means of determining (via
     /proc/allocinfo) whereabouts in the kernel memory is being
     allocated: number of calls and amount of memory.

   - Matthew Wilcox has provided the series "Various significant MM
     patches" which does a number of rather unrelated things, but in
     largely similar code sites.

   - In his series "mm: page_alloc: freelist migratetype hygiene"
     Johannes Weiner has fixed the page allocator's handling of
     migratetype requests, with resulting improvements in compaction
     efficiency.

     Baolin Wang has fixed a hugetlb migration issue, which should
     improve hugetlb allocation reliability.

   - Liu Shixin has hit an I/O meltdown caused by readahead in a
     memory-tight memcg. Addressed in the series "Fix I/O high when
     memory almost met memcg limit".

     Kairui Song has optimized pagecache insertion, yielding ~10%
     performance improvement in one test.

     initialization code in the series "mm/mm_init.c: refactor
     free_area_init_core()".

*-objs suffix is reserved rather for (user-space) host programs while
usually *-y suffix is used for kernel drivers (although *-objs works
for that purpose for now).

Let's correct the old usages of *-objs in Makefiles.

<content type='text'>
Rather than pass in flags, error pointer, and whether this is a kernel
invocation or not, add a struct proto_accept_arg struct as the argument.
This then holds all of these arguments, and prepares accept for being
able to pass back more information.

No functional changes in this patch.
