Pull x86 memory management updates from Thomas Gleixner:
- Make LAM enablement safe vs. kernel threads using a process mm
temporarily as switching back to the process would not update CR3 and
therefore not enable LAM causing faults in user space when using
tagged pointers. Cure it by synchronizing LAM enablement via IPIs to
all CPUs which use the related mm.
- Cure a LAM harmless inconsistency between CR3 and the state during
context switch. It's both confusing and prone to lead to real bugs
- Handle alt stack handling for threads which run with a non-zero
protection key. The non-zero key prevents the kernel to access the
alternate stack. Cure it by temporarily enabling all protection keys
for the alternate stack setup/restore operations.
- Provide a EFI config table identity mapping for kexec kernel to
prevent kexec fails because the new kernel cannot access the config
table array
- Use GB pages only when a full GB is mapped in the identity map as
otherwise the CPU can speculate into reserved areas after the end of
memory which causes malfunction on UV systems.
- Remove the noisy and pointless SRAT table dump during boot
- Use is_ioremap_addr() for iounmap() address range checks instead of
high_memory. is_ioremap_addr() is more precise.

x86/pkeys: Add helper functions to update PKRU on the sigframe
x86/pkeys: Add PKRU as a parameter in signal handling functions

x86/mm: Use IPIs to synchronize LAM enablement
The encoding of the pkey register differs on arm64, than on x86/ppc. On those
platforms, a bit in the register is used to disable permissions, for arm64, a
bit enabled in the register indicates that the permission is allowed.
This drops two asserts of the form:
assert(read_pkey_reg() <= orig_pkey_reg);
Because on arm64 this doesn't hold, due to the encoding.
The pkey must be reset to both access allow and write allow in the signal
handler. pkey_access_allow() works currently for PowerPC as the
PKEY_DISABLE_ACCESS and PKEY_DISABLE_WRITE have overlapping bits set.
Access to the uc_mcontext is abstracted, as arm64 has a different structure.

Add a few new tests to exercise the signal handler flow, especially with
PKEY 0 disabled:
- Verify that the SIGSEGV handler is invoked when pkey 0 is disabled.
- Verify that a thread which disables PKEY 0 segfaults with PKUERR when
accessing the stack.
- Verify that the SIGSEGV handler that uses an alternate signal stack is
correctly invoked when the thread disabled PKEY 0
- Verify that the PKRU value set by the application is correctly restored
upon return from signal handling.
- Verify that sigreturn() is able to restore the altstack even if the
thread had PKEY 0 disabled
[ Aruna: Adapted to upstream ]
[ tglx: Made it actually compile. Restored protection_keys compile. Added
useful info to the changelog instead of bare function names. ]

The save/restore of nr_hugepages was added to the test itself by using the
atexit() functionality. But it is broken as parent exits after creating
child. Hence calling the atexit() function early. That's not it. The
child exits after creating its child and so on.
The parent cannot wait to get the termination status for its children as
it'll keep on holding the resources until the new pkey allocation fails.
It is impossible to wait for exits of all the grand and great grand
children. Hence the restoring of nr_hugepages value from parent is wrong.
Let's save/restore the nr_hugepages settings in the launch script
instead of doing it in the test.

The canonical location for the tracefs filesystem is at /sys/kernel/tracing.
But, from Documentation/trace/ftrace.rst:
Before 4.1, all ftrace tracing control files were within the debugfs
file system, which is typically located at /sys/kernel/debug/tracing.
For backward compatibility, when mounting the debugfs file system,
the tracefs file system will be automatically mounted at:
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing
A few spots in tools/testing/selftests still refer to this older debugfs
path, so let's update them to avoid confusion.
