      Unify the primitives for file descriptor closing · 6319194e
      Al Viro authored
      
      
      Currently we have 3 primitives for removing an opened file from descriptor
      table - pick_file(), __close_fd_get_file() and close_fd_get_file().  Their
      calling conventions are rather odd and there's a code duplication for no
      good reason.  They can be unified -
      
      1) have __range_close() cap max_fd in the very beginning; that way
      we don't need separate way for pick_file() to report being past the end
      of descriptor table.
      
      2) make {__,}close_fd_get_file() return file (or NULL) directly, rather
      than returning it via struct file ** argument.  Don't bother with
      (bogus) return value - nobody wants that -ENOENT.
      
      3) make pick_file() return NULL on unopened descriptor - the only caller
      that used to care about the distinction between descriptor past the end
      of descriptor table and finding NULL in descriptor table doesn't give
      a damn after (1).
      
      4) lift ->files_lock out of pick_file()
      
      That actually simplifies the callers, as well as the primitives themselves.
      Code duplication is also gone...

      fs: remove fget_many and fput_many interface · 81132a39
      Gou Hao authored
      These two interface were added in 091141a4 commit,
      but now there is no place to call them.
      
      The only user of fput/fget_many() was removed in commit
      62906e89 ("io_uring: remove file batch-get optimisation").
      
      A user of get_file_rcu_many() were removed in commit
      f0735310
      
       ("init: add an init_dup helper").
      
      And replace atomic_long_sub/add to atomic_long_dec/inc
      can improve performance.
      
      Here are the test results of unixbench:

       "A set of x86 fixes and updates:
      
         - Make the prctl() for enabling dynamic XSTATE components correct so
           it adds the newly requested feature to the permission bitmap
           instead of overwriting it. Add a selftest which validates that.
      
         - Unroll string MMIO for encrypted SEV guests as the hypervisor
           cannot emulate it.
      
         - Handle supervisor states correctly in the FPU/XSTATE code so it
           takes the feature set of the fpstate buffer into account. The
           feature sets can differ between host and guest buffers. Guest
           buffers do not contain supervisor states. So far this was not an
           issue, but with enabling PASID it needs to be handled in the buffer
           offset calculation and in the permission bitmaps.
      
         - Avoid a gazillion of repeated CPUID invocations in by caching the
           values early in the FPU/XSTATE code.
      
         - Enable CONFIG_WERROR in x86 defconfig.
