fs: add ksys_fchmod() and do_fchmodat() helpers and ksys_chmod() wrapper; remove in-kernel calls to syscall
Using the fs-internal do_fchmodat() helper allows us to get rid of
fs-internal calls to the sys_fchmodat() syscall.
Introducing the ksys_fchmod() helper and the ksys_chmod() wrapper allows
us to avoid the in-kernel calls to the sys_fchmod() and sys_chmod()
syscalls. The ksys_ prefix denotes that these functions are meant as a
drop-in replacement for the syscalls. In particular, they use the same
calling convention as sys_fchmod() and sys_chmod().
This patch is part of a series which removes in-kernel calls to syscalls.
On this basis, the syscall entry path can be streamlined. For details, see

The non-compat codepaths for sys_...msg() verify that MSG_CMSG_COMPAT

(and making it dependent on a static flag passed to this function), we
can call the __sys...msg() functions instead of the syscall functions
in all cases. __sys_recvmmsg() does not need this trickery, as the
check is handled within the do_sys_recvmmsg() function internal to
net/socket.c.

syscalls: define and explain goal to not call syscalls in the kernel
The syscall entry points to the kernel defined by SYSCALL_DEFINEx()
and COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINEx() should only be called from userspace
through kernel entry points, but not from the kernel itself. This
will allow cleanups and optimizations to the entry paths *and* to
the parts of the kernel code which currently need to pretend to be
userspace in order to make use of syscalls.

- Make microcode loading more robust. There were a few issues

late loading of the IB* microcodes addressing spectre issues has
become more widely used.

- Prevent kprobes on the entry trampoline code which lead to kernel

dmaengine: mv_xor_v2: Fix clock resource by adding a register clock
On the CP110 components which are present on the Armada 7K/8K SoC we need
to explicitly enable the clock for the registers. However it is not
needed for the AP8xx component, that's why this clock is optional.
With this patch both clock have now a name, but in order to be backward
compatible, the name of the first clock is not used. It allows to still
use this clock with a device tree using the old binding.

- Fix corner-case of DM raid resync reporting if/when the raid becomes

- A few DM multipath fixes to make non-SCSI optimizations, that were
introduced during the 4.16 merge, useful for all non-SCSI devices,
rather than narrowly define this non-SCSI mode in terms of "nvme".
This allows the removal of "queue_mode nvme" that really didn't need
to be introduced. Instead DM core will internalize whether
nvme-specific IO submission optimizations are doable and DM multipath
will only do SCSI-specific device handler operations if SCSI is in
use.

of the SOB lines. The original patch was from Leon Romanovsky, and a
cut-n-paste separator in the commit message confused patchworks which
then put the end of message separator in the wrong place in the
downloaded patch, and I didn’t notice in time. The patch made it into
the official branch, and the only way to fix it in-place was to
rebase. Given the pain that a rebase causes, and the fact that the
patch has relevant tags for stable and syzkaller, a revert of the
munged patch and a reapplication of the original patch with the log
message intact was done.

As reported by Dan the parentheses is in the wrong place, and since
unlikely() call returns either 0 or 1 it's never less than zero. The
second issue is that signed integer overflows like "INT_MAX + 1" are
undefined behavior.
Since num_test_devs represents the number of devices, we want to stop
prior to hitting the max, and not rely on the wrap arround at all. So
just cap at num_test_devs + 1, prior to assigning a new device.
