x86/numa: Introduce numa_fill_memblks()

numa_fill_memblks() fills in the gaps in numa_meminfo memblks
over an physical address range.

The ACPI driver will use numa_fill_memblks() to implement a new Linux
policy that prescribes extending proximity domains in a portion of a
CFMWS window to the entire window.

Dan Williams offered this explanation of the policy:
A CFWMS is an ACPI data structure that indicates *potential* locations
where CXL memory can be placed. It is the playground where the CXL
driver has free reign to establish regions. That space can be populated
by BIOS created regions, or driver created regions, after hotplug or
other reconfiguration.

When BIOS creates a region in a CXL Window it additionally describes
that subset of the Window range in the other typical ACPI tables SRAT,
SLIT, and HMAT. The rationale for BIOS not pre-describing the entire
CXL Window in SRAT, SLIT, and HMAT is that it can not predict the
future. I.e. there is nothing stopping higher or lower performance
devices being placed in the same Window. Compare that to ACPI memory
hotplug that just onlines additional capacity in the proximity domain
with little freedom for dynamic performance differentiation.

That leaves the OS with a choice, should unpopulated window capacity
match the proximity domain of an existing region, or should it allocate
a new one? This patch takes the simple position of minimizing proximity
domain proliferation by reusing any proximity domain intersection for
the entire Window. If the Window has no intersections then allocate a
new proximity domain. Note that SRAT, SLIT and HMAT information can be
enumerated dynamically in a standard way from device provided data.
Think of CXL as the end of ACPI needing to describe memory attributes,
CXL offers a standard discovery model for performance attributes, but
Linux still needs to interoperate with the old regime.

x86: add missing include to sparsemem.h

Patch series "Add KernelMemorySanitizer infrastructure", v7.

KernelMemorySanitizer (KMSAN) is a detector of errors related to uses of
uninitialized memory. It relies on compile-time Clang instrumentation
(similar to MSan in the userspace [1]) and tracks the state of every bit
of kernel memory, being able to report an error if uninitialized value is
used in a condition, dereferenced, or escapes to userspace, USB or DMA.

KMSAN has reported more than 300 bugs in the past few years (recently
fixed bugs: [2]), most of them with the help of syzkaller. Such bugs keep
getting introduced into the kernel despite new compiler warnings and other
analyses (the 6.0 cycle already resulted in several KMSAN-reported bugs,
e.g. [3]). Mitigations like total stack and heap initialization are
unfortunately very far from being deployable.

The proposed patchset contains KMSAN runtime implementation together with
small changes to other subsystems needed to make KMSAN work.

The latter changes fall into several categories:

1. Changes and refactorings of existing code required to add KMSAN:
- [01/43] x86: add missing include to sparsemem.h
- [02/43] stackdepot: reserve 5 extra bits in depot_stack_handle_t
- [03/43] instrumented.h: allow instrumenting both sides of copy_from_user()
- [04/43] x86: asm: instrument usercopy in get_user() and __put_user_size()
- [05/43] asm-generic: instrument usercopy in cacheflush.h
- [10/43] libnvdimm/pfn_dev: increase MAX_STRUCT_PAGE_SIZE

2. KMSAN-related declarations in generic code, KMSAN runtime library,
docs and configs:
- [06/43] kmsan: add ReST documentation
- [07/43] kmsan: introduce __no_sanitize_memory and __no_kmsan_checks
- [09/43] x86: kmsan: pgtable: reduce vmalloc space
- [11/43] kmsan: add KMSAN runtime core
- [13/43] MAINTAINERS: add entry for KMSAN
- [24/43] kmsan: add tests for KMSAN
- [31/43] objtool: kmsan: list KMSAN API functions as uaccess-safe
- [35/43] x86: kmsan: use __msan_ string functions where possible
- [43/43] x86: kmsan: enable KMSAN builds for x86

3. Adding hooks from different subsystems to notify KMSAN about memory
state changes:
- [14/43] mm: kmsan: maintain KMSAN metadata for page
- [15/43] mm: kmsan: call KMSAN hooks from SLUB code
- [16/43] kmsan: handle task creation and exiting
- [17/43] init: kmsan: call KMSAN initialization routines
- [18/43] instrumented.h: add KMSAN support
- [19/43] kmsan: add iomap support
- [20/43] Input: libps2: mark data received in __ps2_command() as initialized
- [21/43] dma: kmsan: unpoison DMA mappings
- [34/43] x86: kmsan: handle open-coded assembly in lib/iomem.c
- [36/43] x86: kmsan: sync metadata pages on page fault

4. Changes that prevent false reports by explicitly initializing memory,
disabling optimized code that may trick KMSAN, selectively skipping
instrumentation:
- [08/43] kmsan: mark noinstr as __no_sanitize_memory
- [12/43] kmsan: disable instrumentation of unsupported common kernel code
- [22/43] virtio: kmsan: check/unpoison scatterlist in vring_map_one_sg()
- [23/43] kmsan: handle memory sent to/from USB
- [25/43] kmsan: disable strscpy() optimization under KMSAN
- [26/43] crypto: kmsan: disable accelerated configs under KMSAN
- [27/43] kmsan: disable physical page merging in biovec
- [28/43] block: kmsan: skip bio block merging logic for KMSAN
- [29/43] kcov: kmsan: unpoison area->list in kcov_remote_area_put()
- [30/43] security: kmsan: fix interoperability with auto-initialization
- [32/43] x86: kmsan: disable instrumentation of unsupported code
- [33/43] x86: kmsan: skip shadow checks in __switch_to()
- [37/43] x86: kasan: kmsan: support CONFIG_GENERIC_CSUM on x86, enable it for KASAN/KMSAN
- [38/43] x86: fs: kmsan: disable CONFIG_DCACHE_WORD_ACCESS
- [39/43] x86: kmsan: don't instrument stack walking functions
- [40/43] entry: kmsan: introduce kmsan_unpoison_entry_regs()

5. Fixes for bugs detected with CONFIG_KMSAN_CHECK_PARAM_RETVAL:
- [41/43] bpf: kmsan: initialize BPF registers with zeroes
- [42/43] mm: fs: initialize fsdata passed to write_begin/write_end interface

This patchset allows one to boot and run a defconfig+KMSAN kernel on a
QEMU without known false positives. It however doesn't guarantee there
are no false positives in drivers of certain devices or less tested
subsystems, although KMSAN is actively tested on syzbot with a large
config.

By default, KMSAN enforces conservative checks of most kernel function
parameters passed by value (via CONFIG_KMSAN_CHECK_PARAM_RETVAL, which
maps to the -fsanitize-memory-param-retval compiler flag). As discussed
in [4] and [5], passing uninitialized values as function parameters is
considered undefined behavior, therefore KMSAN now reports such cases as
errors. Several newly added patches fix known manifestations of these
errors.


This patch (of 43):

Including sparsemem.h from other files (e.g. transitively via
asm/pgtable_64_types.h) results in compilation errors due to unknown
types:

sparsemem.h:34:32: error: unknown type name 'phys_addr_t'
extern int phys_to_target_node(phys_addr_t start);
^
sparsemem.h:36:39: error: unknown type name 'u64'
extern int memory_add_physaddr_to_nid(u64 start);
^

Fix these errors by including linux/types.h from sparsemem.h This is
required for the upcoming KMSAN patches.

mm: fix phys_to_target_node() and memory_add_physaddr_to_nid() exports

The core-mm has a default __weak implementation of phys_to_target_node()
to mirror the weak definition of memory_add_physaddr_to_nid(). That
symbol is exported for modules. However, while the export in
mm/memory_hotplug.c exported the symbol in the configuration cases of:

CONFIG_NUMA_KEEP_MEMINFO=y
CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG=y

...and:

CONFIG_NUMA_KEEP_MEMINFO=n
CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG=y

...it failed to export the symbol in the case of:

CONFIG_NUMA_KEEP_MEMINFO=y
CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG=n

Not only is that broken, but Christoph points out that the kernel should
not be exporting any __weak symbol, which means that
memory_add_physaddr_to_nid() example that phys_to_target_node() copied
is broken too.

Rework the definition of phys_to_target_node() and
memory_add_physaddr_to_nid() to not require weak symbols. Move to the
common arch override design-pattern of an asm header defining a symbol
to replace the default implementation.

The only common header that all memory_add_physaddr_to_nid() producing
architectures implement is asm/sparsemem.h. In fact, powerpc already
defines its memory_add_physaddr_to_nid() helper in sparsemem.h.
Double-down on that observation and define phys_to_target_node() where
necessary in asm/sparsemem.h. An alternate consideration that was
discarded was to put this override in asm/numa.h, but that entangles
with the definition of MAX_NUMNODES relative to the inclusion of
linux/nodemask.h, and requires powerpc to grow a new header.

The dependency on NUMA_KEEP_MEMINFO for DEV_DAX_HMEM_DEVICES is invalid
now that the symbol is properly exported / stubbed in all combinations
of CONFIG_NUMA_KEEP_MEMINFO and CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG.

x86/mm: Stop pretending pgtable_l5_enabled is a variable

pgtable_l5_enabled is defined using cpu_feature_enabled() but we refer
to it as a variable. This is misleading.

Make pgtable_l5_enabled() a function.

We cannot literally define it as a function due to circular dependencies
between header files. Function-alike macros is close enough.

For boot-time switching between paging modes, we need to be able to

As part of making physical address space size variable, we have to make
X86_5LEVEL dependent on SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP. !SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP
configuration doesn't build with variable MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS.

For !SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP SECTIONS_WIDTH depends on MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS:

SECTIONS_WIDTH
SECTIONS_SHIFT
MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS

And SECTIONS_WIDTH is used on pre-processor stage, it doesn't work if it's
dyncamic. See include/linux/page-flags-layout.h.

License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.

By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.

Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.

This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.

How this work was done:

Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
- file had no licensing information it it.
- file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
- file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,

Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.

The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.

The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
- Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
- Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
lines of source
- File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
lines).

All documentation files were explicitly excluded.

The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.

- when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
COPYING file license applied.

For non */uapi/* files that summary was:

SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 11139

and resulted in the first patch in this series.

If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was:

SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930

and resulted in the second patch in this series.

- if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
it (per prior point). Results summary:

SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270
GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17
LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15
GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14
((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5
LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4
LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1

and that resulted in the third patch in this series.

- when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
the concluded license(s).

- when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.

- In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).

- When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

- If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
in time.

In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.

Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.

In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.

Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
- a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
license ids and scores
- reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
- reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
SPDX license was correct

This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.

These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

x86: 46 bit physical address support on 64 bits

Extend the maximum addressable memory on x86-64 from 2^44 to
2^46 bytes. This requires some shuffling around of the vmalloc
and virtual memmap memory areas, to keep them away from the
direct mapping of up to 64TB of physical memory.

This patch also introduces a guard hole between the vmalloc
area and the virtual memory map space. There's really no
good reason why we wouldn't have a guard hole there.

x86, mm: limit MAXMEM on 64-bit

on 64-bit x86 the physical memory limit is controlled by the sparsemem
bits - which are 44 bits right now. But MAXMEM (the max pfn number
e820 parsing will allow to enter our sizing routines) is set to
0x00003fffffffffff, i.e. 46 bits - that's too large because it overlaps
into the vmalloc range.

So couple MAXMEM to MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS, and add a comment that the
maximum of MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS is 45 bits.

x86: Fix ASM_X86__ header guards

Change header guards named "ASM_X86__*" to "_ASM_X86_*" since:

a. the double underscore is ugly and pointless.
b. no leading underscore violates namespace constraints.
