When building with W=1, the __scif_rma_destroy_tcw function
causes a harmless warning about an argument variable that is
modified but not used:
drivers/misc/mic/scif/scif_dma.c: In function ‘__scif_rma_destroy_tcw’:
drivers/misc/mic/scif/scif_dma.c:118:27: error: parameter ‘ep’ set but not used [-Werror=unused-but-set-parameter]
In this case, we can just remove the argument, since all callers
are in the same file.

Pull x86 protection key support from Ingo Molnar:
"This tree adds support for a new memory protection hardware feature
that is available in upcoming Intel CPUs: 'protection keys' (pkeys).
There's a background article at LWN.net:
https://lwn.net/Articles/643797/
The gist is that protection keys allow the encoding of
user-controllable permission masks in the pte. So instead of having a
fixed protection mask in the pte (which needs a system call to change
and works on a per page basis), the user can map a (handful of)
protection mask variants and can change the masks runtime relatively
cheaply, without having to change every single page in the affected
virtual memory range.
This allows the dynamic switching of the protection bits of large
amounts of virtual memory, via user-space instructions. It also
allows more precise control of MMU permission bits: for example the
executable bit is separate from the read bit (see more about that
below).
This tree adds the MM infrastructure and low level x86 glue needed for
that, plus it adds a high level API to make use of protection keys -
if a user-space application calls:
mmap(..., PROT_EXEC);
or
mprotect(ptr, sz, PROT_EXEC);
(note PROT_EXEC-only, without PROT_READ/WRITE), the kernel will notice
this special case, and will set a special protection key on this
memory range. It also sets the appropriate bits in the Protection
Keys User Rights (PKRU) register so that the memory becomes unreadable
and unwritable.
So using protection keys the kernel is able to implement 'true'
PROT_EXEC on x86 CPUs: without protection keys PROT_EXEC implies
PROT_READ as well. Unreadable executable mappings have security
advantages: they cannot be read via information leaks to figure out
ASLR details, nor can they be scanned for ROP gadgets - and they
cannot be used by exploits for data purposes either.
We know about no user-space code that relies on pure PROT_EXEC
mappings today, but binary loaders could start making use of this new
feature to map binaries and libraries in a more secure fashion.
There is other pending pkeys work that offers more high level system
call APIs to manage protection keys - but those are not part of this
pull request.
Right now there's a Kconfig that controls this feature
(CONFIG_X86_INTEL_MEMORY_PROTECTION_KEYS) that is default enabled
(like most x86 CPU feature enablement code that has no runtime
overhead), but it's not user-configurable at the moment. If there's
any serious problem with this then we can make it configurable and/or
flip the default"

We will soon modify the vanilla get_user_pages() so it can no
longer be used on mm/tasks other than 'current/current->mm',
which is by far the most common way it is called. For now,
we allow the old-style calls, but warn when they are used.
(implemented in previous patch)
This patch switches all callers of:
get_user_pages()
get_user_pages_unlocked()
get_user_pages_locked()
to stop passing tsk/mm so they will no longer see the warnings.

This patch adds the SCIF kernel node QP control messages required to
enable SCIF RMAs. Examples of such node QP control messages include
registration, unregistration, remote memory allocation requests,
remote memory unmap and SCIF remote fence requests.
The patch also updates the SCIF driver with minor changes required to
enable SCIF RMAs by adding the new files to the build, initializing
RMA specific information during SCIF endpoint creation, reserving SCIF
DMA channels, initializing SCIF RMA specific global data structures,
adding the IOCTL hooks required for SCIF RMAs and updating RMA
specific debugfs hooks.

This patch implements the fence APIs required to synchronize
DMAs. SCIF provides an interface to return a "mark" for all DMAs
programmed at the instant the API was called. Users can then "wait" on
the mark provided previously by blocking inside the kernel. Upon
receipt of a DMA completion interrupt the waiting thread is woken
up. There is also an interface to signal DMA completion by polling for
a location to be updated via a "signal" cookie to avoid the interrupt
overhead in the mark/wait interface. SCIF allows programming fences on
both the local and the remote node for both the mark/wait or the fence
signal APIs.

SCIF allows users to read from or write to registered remote memory
via CPU copies or DMA. The API verifies that both local and remote
windows are valid before initiating the CPU or DMA transfers. SCIF has
optimized algorithms for handling byte aligned as well as cache line
aligned DMA engines. A registration cache is maintained to avoid the
overhead of pinning pages repeatedly if buffers are reused. The
registration cache is invalidated upon receipt of MMU notifier
callbacks. SCIF windows are destroyed and the pages are unpinned only
once all prior DMAs initiated using that window are drained. Users can
request synchronous DMA operations as well as tail byte ordering if
required. CPU copies are always performed synchronously.

This patch implements the SCIF mmap/munmap interface. A similar
capability is provided to kernel clients via the
scif_get_pages()/scif_put_pages() APIs. The SCIF mmap interface
queries to check if a window is valid and then remaps the local
virtual address to the remote physical pages. These mappings are
subsequently destroyed upon receipt of the VMA close operation or
scif_get_pages(). This functionality allows SCIF users to directly
access remote memory without any driver interaction once the mappings
are created thereby providing bare-metal PCIe latency. These mappings
are zapped to avoid RMA accesses from user space, if a Coprocessor is
reset.

This patch adds the implementation for operations performed on the
list of SCIF windows. Examples of such operations includes adding the
windows to the list of registered (or cached) windows, querying the
list of self or remote windows and unregistering windows. The query
operation is used by SCIF APIs which initiate DMAs, CPU copies or
fences to ensure that a window remains valid during a transfer.

This patch implements the SCIF APIs required to pin and unpin
pages. SCIF registration locks down the pages. It then sends a remote
window allocation request to the peer. Once the peer has allocated
memory, the local SCIF endpoint copies the pinned page information to
the peer and notifies the peer once the copy has complete. The peer
upon receipt of the registration notification adds the new remote
window to its list. At this point the window page information is
available on both self and remote nodes so that they can start
performing SCIF DMAs, CPU copies and fences. The unregistration API
tears down the registration at both self and remote nodes.

SCIF connection APIs which establish a SCIF connection between
a pair of SCIF endpoints. A SCIF connection consists of a
dedicated queue-pair between the endpoints. Client messages are
sent over the queue-pair whereas the signaling associated with the
message is multiplexed over the node queue-pair. Similarly other
control messages such as exposing registered memory are also sent
over the node queue-pair. The SCIF endpoints must be in connected
state to exchange messages, register memory, map remote memory and
trigger DMA transfers. SCIF connections can be set up
asynchronously or synchronously.

SCIF ring buffer is a single producer, single consumer byte stream
ring buffer optimized for avoiding reads across the PCIe bus while
adding the required barriers and hardware workarounds for the MIC
Coprocessor. The ring buffer is used to implement a receive queue for
SCIF driver messaging between two nodes and for byte stream messaging
between SCIF endpoints. The existing in-kernel ring buffer was not
reused since it has not been designed for our use across the PCIe bus
where each node runs an independent OS. Each SCIF node has a receive
queue for every other SCIF node, and each connected endpoint has a
receive queue for messages from its peer. This pair of receive
queues is referred to as a SCIF queue pair.
