Pull RAS updates from Borislav Petkov:
- Extend the recovery from MCE in kernel space also to processes which
encounter an MCE in kernel space but while copying from user memory
by sending them a SIGBUS on return to user space and umapping the
faulty memory, by Tony Luck and Youquan Song.
- memcpy_mcsafe() rework by splitting the functionality into
copy_mc_to_user() and copy_mc_to_kernel(). This, as a result, enables
support for new hardware which can recover from a machine check
encountered during a fast string copy and makes that the default and
lets the older hardware which does not support that advance recovery,
opt in to use the old, fragile, slow variant, by Dan Williams.
- New AMD hw enablement, by Yazen Ghannam and Akshay Gupta.
- Do not use MSR-tracing accessors in #MC context and flag any fault
while accessing MCA architectural MSRs as an architectural violation
with the hope that such hw/fw misdesigns are caught early during the
hw eval phase and they don't make it into production.
- Misc fixes, improvements and cleanups, as always.

In reaction to a proposal to introduce a memcpy_mcsafe_fast()
implementation Linus points out that memcpy_mcsafe() is poorly named
relative to communicating the scope of the interface. Specifically what
addresses are valid to pass as source, destination, and what faults /
exceptions are handled.
Of particular concern is that even though x86 might be able to handle
the semantics of copy_mc_to_user() with its common copy_user_generic()
implementation other archs likely need / want an explicit path for this
case:

Replace a single top-level memcpy_mcsafe() with either
copy_mc_to_user(), or copy_mc_to_kernel().
Introduce an x86 copy_mc_fragile() name as the rename for the
low-level x86 implementation formerly named memcpy_mcsafe(). It is used
as the slow / careful backend that is supplanted by a fast
copy_mc_generic() in a follow-on patch.
One side-effect of this reorganization is that separating copy_mc_64.S
to its own file means that perf no longer needs to track dependencies
for its memcpy_64.S benchmarks.

The function dax_direct_access doesn't take partitions into account,
it always maps pages from the beginning of the device. Therefore,
persistent_memory_claim() must get the partition offset using
get_start_sect() and add it to the page offsets passed to
dax_direct_access().

Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman:
- Add support for (optionally) using queued spinlocks & rwlocks.
- Support for a new faster system call ABI using the scv instruction on
Power9 or later.
- Drop support for the PROT_SAO mmap/mprotect flag as it will be
unsupported on Power10 and future processors, leaving us with no way
to implement the functionality it requests. This risks breaking
userspace, though we believe it is unused in practice.
- A bug fix for, and then the removal of, our custom stack expansion
checking. We now allow stack expansion up to the rlimit, like other
architectures.
- Remove the remnants of our (previously disabled) topology update
code, which tried to react to NUMA layout changes on virtualised
systems, but was prone to crashes and other problems.
- Add PMU support for Power10 CPUs.
- A change to our signal trampoline so that we don't unbalance the link
stack (branch return predictor) in the signal delivery path.
- Lots of other cleanups, refactorings, smaller features and so on as
usual.

Using uninitialized_var() is dangerous as it papers over real bugs[1]
(or can in the future), and suppresses unrelated compiler warnings
(e.g. "unused variable"). If the compiler thinks it is uninitialized,
either simply initialize the variable or make compiler changes.
In preparation for removing[2] the[3] macro[4], remove all remaining
needless uses with the following script:
git grep '\buninitialized_var\b' | cut -d: -f1 | sort -u | \
xargs perl -pi -e \
's/\buninitialized_var\(([^\)]+)\)/\1/g;
s:\s*/\* (GCC be quiet|to make compiler happy) \*/$::g;'
drivers/video/fbdev/riva/riva_hw.c was manually tweaked to avoid
pathological white-space.
No outstanding warnings were found building allmodconfig with GCC 9.3.0
for x86_64, i386, arm64, arm, powerpc, powerpc64le, s390x, mips, sparc64,
alpha, and m68k.

Architectures like ppc64 provide persistent memory specific barriers
that will ensure that all stores for which the modifications are
written to persistent storage by preceding dcbfps and dcbstps
instructions have updated persistent storage before any data
access or data transfer caused by subsequent instructions is initiated.
This is in addition to the ordering done by wmb()

wmb to ensure all previous writes are architecturally visible for

When testing the dm-writecache target on a real DDR persistent memory
(Intel Optane), it turned out that explicit cache flushing using the
clflushopt instruction performs better than non-temporal stores for
block sizes 1k, 2k and 4k.
The dm-writecache target is singlethreaded (all the copying is done
while holding the writecache lock), so it benefits from clwb, see:
http://lore.kernel.org/r/alpine.LRH.2.02.2004160411460.7833@file01.intranet.prod.int.rdu2.redhat.com

The dm-writecache reads metadata in the target constructor. However, when
we reload the target, there could be another active instance running on
the same device. This is the sequence of operations when doing a reload:
1. construct new target
2. suspend old target
3. resume new target
4. destroy old target
Metadata that were written by the old target between steps 1 and 2 would
not be visible by the new target.
Fix the data corruption by loading the metadata in the resume handler.
Also, validate block_size is at least as large as both the devices'
logical block size and only read 1 block from the metadata during
target constructor -- no need to read entirety of metadata now that it
is done during resume.

The "flush" or "flush_on_suspend" messages flush the whole cache. However,
these flushing methods can take some time and the process is left in
an interruptible state during the flush.
Implement a "cleaner" option that offers an alternate flushing method.
When this option is activated (either by a message or in the constructor
arguments), the cache will not promote new writes (however, writes to
already cached blocks are promoted, to avoid data corruption due to
misordered writes) and it will gradually writeback any cached data. The
userspace can then monitor the cleaning process with "dmsetup status".
When the number of cached bloks drops to zero, the userspace can unload
the dm-writecache target and replace it with dm-linear or other targets.

The function dm_suspended returns true if the target is suspended.
However, when the target is being suspended during unload, it returns
false.
An example where this is a problem: the test "!dm_suspended(wc->ti)" in
writecache_writeback is not sufficient, because dm_suspended returns
zero while writecache_suspend is in progress. As is, without an
enhanced dm_suspended, simply switching from flush_workqueue to
drain_workqueue still emits warnings:
workqueue writecache-writeback: drain_workqueue() isn't complete after 10 tries
workqueue writecache-writeback: drain_workqueue() isn't complete after 100 tries
workqueue writecache-writeback: drain_workqueue() isn't complete after 200 tries
workqueue writecache-writeback: drain_workqueue() isn't complete after 300 tries
workqueue writecache-writeback: drain_workqueue() isn't complete after 400 tries
writecache_suspend calls flush_workqueue(wc->writeback_wq) - this function
flushes the current work. However, the workqueue may re-queue itself and
flush_workqueue doesn't wait for re-queued works to finish. Because of
this - the function writecache_writeback continues execution after the
device was suspended and then concurrently with writecache_dtr, causing
a crash in writecache_writeback.
We must use drain_workqueue - that waits until the work and all re-queued
works finish.
As a prereq for switching to drain_workqueue, this commit fixes
dm_suspended to return true after the presuspend hook and before the
postsuspend hook - just like during a normal suspend. It allows
simplifying the dm-integrity and dm-writecache targets so that they
don't have to maintain suspended flags on their own.
With this change use of drain_workqueue() can be used effectively. This
change was tested with the lvm2 testsuite and cryptsetup testsuite and
the are no regressions.

When dm-writecache is used with SSD as a cache device, it would submit a
separate bio for each written block. The I/Os would be merged by the disk
scheduler, but this merging degrades performance.
Improve dm-writecache performance by submitting larger bios - this is
possible as long as there is consecutive free space on the cache
device.

3. wait for data writes to complete (writecache_wait_for_ios)
4. increase superblock seq_count
5. write the superblock
6. flush disk cache
It may happen that at step 3, when we wait for some write to finish, the
disk may report the write as finished, but the write only hit the disk
cache and it is not yet stored in persistent storage. At step 5 we write
the superblock - it may happen that the superblock is written before the
write that we waited for in step 3. If the machine crashes, it may result
in incorrect data being returned after reboot.
In order to fix the bug, we must swap steps 2 and 3 in the above sequence,
so that we first wait for writes to complete and then flush the disk
cache.

The array bio_in_progress[2] only have chance to be increased and
decreased with ssd mode. For pmem mode, they are not involved at all.
So skip writecache_wait_for_ios in writecache_flush for pmem.

During the process of writeback, the blocks, which have been placed in wbl.list
for writeback soon, are partially ordered for the contiguous ones.
When writeback_all has been set, for most cases, also by default, there will be
a lot of blocks in pmem need to writeback at the same time.
For this case, we could optimize the performance by sorting all blocks in
wbl.list. writecache_writeback doesn't need to get blocks from the tail of
wc->lru, whereas from the first rb_node from the rb_tree.
The benefit is that, writecache_writeback doesn't need to have any cost to sort
the blocks, because of all blocks are incremental originally in rb_tree.
There will be a writecache_flush when writeback_all begins to work, that will
eliminate duplicate blocks in cache by committed/uncommitted.
Testing platform: Thinksystem SR630 with persistent memory.
The cache comes from pmem, which has 1006MB size. The origin device is HDD, 2GB
of which for using.
Testing steps:
1) dmsetup create mycache --table '0 4194304 writecache p /dev/sdb1 /dev/pmem4 4096 0'
2) fio -filename=/dev/mapper/mycache -direct=1 -iodepth=20 -rw=randwrite
-ioengine=libaio -bs=4k -loops=1 -size=2g -group_reporting -name=mytest1
3) time dmsetup message /dev/mapper/mycache 0 flush
Here is the results below,
With the patch:
# fio -filename=/dev/mapper/mycache -direct=1 -iodepth=20 -rw=randwrite
-ioengine=libaio -bs=4k -loops=1 -size=2g -group_reporting -name=mytest1
iops : min= 1582, max=199470, avg=5305.94, stdev=21273.44, samples=197
# time dmsetup message /dev/mapper/mycache 0 flush
real 0m44.020s
user 0m0.002s
sys 0m0.003s
Without the patch:
# fio -filename=/dev/mapper/mycache -direct=1 -iodepth=20 -rw=randwrite
-ioengine=libaio -bs=4k -loops=1 -size=2g -group_reporting -name=mytest1
iops : min= 1202, max=197650, avg=4968.67, stdev=20480.17, samples=211
# time dmsetup message /dev/mapper/mycache 0 flush
real 1m39.221s
user 0m0.001s
sys 0m0.003s
I also have checked the data accuracy with this patch by making EXT4 filesystem
on mycache, then mount it for checking md5 of files on that.
The test result is positive, with this patch it could save more than half of time
when writeback_all.

This is a small optimization in writecache_find_entry().
If we go past the condition "if (unlikely(!node))", we can be certain that
there is no entry in the tree that has the block equal to the "block"
variable.
Consequently, we can return the next entry directly, we don't need to go
to the second part of the function that finds the entry with lowest or
highest seq number that matches the "block" variable.
Also, add some whitespace and cleanup needless braces.

The writecache target caches writes on persistent memory or SSD.
It is intended for databases or other programs that need extremely low
commit latency.
The writecache target doesn't cache reads because reads are supposed to
be cached in page cache in normal RAM.
If persistent memory isn't available this target can still be used in
SSD mode.
