      jump_label: Allow asm/jump_label.h to be included in assembly · 55dd0df7
      由 Anton Blanchard 提交于 
      Wrap asm/jump_label.h for all archs with #ifndef __ASSEMBLY__.
Since these are kernel only headers, we don't need #ifdef
__KERNEL__ so can simplify things a bit.

If an architecture wants to use jump labels in assembly, it
will still need to define a macro to create the __jump_table
entries (see ARCH_STATIC_BRANCH in the powerpc asm/jump_label.h
for an example).

      sparc64: Fix several bugs in memmove(). · 2077cef4
      由 David S. Miller 提交于 
      Firstly, handle zero length calls properly.  Believe it or not there
are a few of these happening during early boot.

Next, we can't just drop to a memcpy() call in the forward copy case
where dst <= src.  The reason is that the cache initializing stores
used in the Niagara memcpy() implementations can end up clearing out
cache lines before we've sourced their original contents completely.

For example, considering NG4memcpy, the main unrolled loop begins like
this:

     load   src + 0x00
     load   src + 0x08
     load   src + 0x10
     load   src + 0x18
     load   src + 0x20
     store  dst + 0x00

Assume dst is 64 byte aligned and let's say that dst is src - 8 for
this memcpy() call.  That store at the end there is the one to the
first line in the cache line, thus clearing the whole line, which thus
clobbers "src + 0x28" before it even gets loaded.

To avoid this, just fall through to a simple copy only mildly
optimized for the case where src and dst are 8 byte aligned and the
length is a multiple of 8 as well.  We could get fancy and call
GENmemcpy() but this is good enough for how this thing is actually
used.

      PCI: Assign resources before drivers claim devices (pci_scan_root_bus()) · b97ea289
      由 Yijing Wang 提交于 
      Previously, pci_scan_root_bus() created a root PCI bus, enumerated the
devices on it, and called pci_bus_add_devices(), which made the devices
available for drivers to claim them.

Most callers assigned resources to devices after pci_scan_root_bus()
returns, which may be after drivers have claimed the devices.  This is
incorrect; the PCI core should not change device resources while a driver
is managing the device.

Remove pci_bus_add_devices() from pci_scan_root_bus() and do it after any
resource assignment in the callers.

Note that ARM's pci_common_init_dev() already called pci_bus_add_devices()
after pci_scan_root_bus(), so we only need to remove the first call:

  pci_common_init_dev
    pcibios_init_hw

        pci_bus_add_devices        # first call
    pci_bus_assign_resources

I don't believe the Sparc clocksource is a default

So convert the time_32.c implementation to use

      mm: vmalloc: pass additional vm_flags to __vmalloc_node_range() · cb9e3c29
      由 Andrey Ryabinin 提交于 
      For instrumenting global variables KASan will shadow memory backing memory
for modules.  So on module loading we will need to allocate memory for
shadow and map it at address in shadow that corresponds to the address
allocated in module_alloc().

__vmalloc_node_range() could be used for this purpose, except it puts a
guard hole after allocated area.  Guard hole in shadow memory should be a
problem because at some future point we might need to have a shadow memory
at address occupied by guard hole.  So we could fail to allocate shadow
for module_alloc().

Now we have VM_NO_GUARD flag disabling guard page, so we need to pass into
__vmalloc_node_range().  Add new parameter 'vm_flags' to
__vmalloc_node_range() function.

      all arches, signal: move restart_block to struct task_struct · f56141e3
      由 Andy Lutomirski 提交于 
      If an attacker can cause a controlled kernel stack overflow, overwriting
the restart block is a very juicy exploit target.  This is because the
restart_block is held in the same memory allocation as the kernel stack.

Moving the restart block to struct task_struct prevents this exploit by
making the restart_block harder to locate.

Note that there are other fields in thread_info that are also easy
targets, at least on some architectures.

It's also a decent simplification, since the restart code is more or less
identical on all architectures.

In this, on tile, we have FIRST_USER_ADDRESS defined as 0.  round_up() has

      sparc32: fix broken set_pte() · 4ecf8860
      由 Kirill A. Shutemov 提交于 
      32-bit sparc uses swap instruction to implement set_pte().  It called
using GCC inline assembler.  But it misses the "memory" clobber to
indicate that pte value will be updated in memory.

As result GCC doesn't know that it cannot postpone pte pointer dereference
which occurs before set_pte() to post-set_pte() time.

It leads to real-world bugs -- [1]. In this situation we have code:

	ptent = ptep_modify_prot_start(mm, addr, pte);
	ptent = pte_modify(ptent, newprot);
	...
	ptep_modify_prot_commit(mm, addr, pte, ptent);

ptep_modify_prot_start() in sparc case is just 'pte' dereference plus
pte_clear().  pte_clear() calls broken set_pte().  GCC thinks it's valid
to dereference 'pte' again on pte_modify() and gets cleared pte.
ptep_modify_prot_commit() puts 'pteent' with pfn==0 back to page table,
which eventually leads to the crash.

      mm/hugetlb: reduce arch dependent code around follow_huge_* · 61f77eda
      由 Naoya Horiguchi 提交于 
      Currently we have many duplicates in definitions around
follow_huge_addr(), follow_huge_pmd(), and follow_huge_pud(), so this
patch tries to remove the m.  The basic idea is to put the default
implementation for these functions in mm/hugetlb.c as weak symbols
(regardless of CONFIG_ARCH_WANT_GENERAL_HUGETL B), and to implement
arch-specific code only when the arch needs it.

For follow_huge_addr(), only powerpc and ia64 have their own
implementation, and in all other architectures this function just returns
ERR_PTR(-EINVAL).  So this patch sets returning ERR_PTR(-EINVAL) as
default.

As for follow_huge_(pmd|pud)(), if (pmd|pud)_huge() is implemented to
always return 0 in your architecture (like in ia64 or sparc,) it's never
called (the callsite is optimized away) no matter how implemented it is.
So in such architectures, we don't need arch-specific implementation.

In some architecture (like mips, s390 and tile,) their current
arch-specific follow_huge_(pmd|pud)() are effectively identical with the
common code, so this patch lets these architecture use the common code.

One exception is metag, where pmd_huge() could return non-zero but it
expects follow_huge_pmd() to always return NULL.  This means that we need
arch-specific implementation which returns NULL.  This behavior looks
strange to me (because non-zero pmd_huge() implies that the architecture
supports PMD-based hugepage, so follow_huge_pmd() can/should return some
relevant value,) but that's beyond this cleanup patch, so let's keep it.

Justification of non-trivial changes:
- in s390, follow_huge_pmd() checks !MACHINE_HAS_HPAGE at first, and this
  patch removes the check. This is OK because we can assume MACHINE_HAS_HPAGE
  is true when follow_huge_pmd() can be called (note that pmd_huge() has
  the same check and always returns 0 for !MACHINE_HAS_HPAGE.)
- in s390 and mips, we use HPAGE_MASK instead of PMD_MASK as done in common
  code. This patch forces these archs use PMD_MASK, but it's OK because
  they are identical in both archs.
  In s390, both of HPAGE_SHIFT and PMD_SHIFT are 20.
  In mips, HPAGE_SHIFT is defined as (PAGE_SHIFT + PAGE_SHIFT - 3) and
  PMD_SHIFT is define as (PAGE_SHIFT + PAGE_SHIFT + PTE_ORDER - 3), but
  PTE_ORDER is always 0, so these are identical.

      vm: add VM_FAULT_SIGSEGV handling support · 33692f27
      由 Linus Torvalds 提交于 
      The core VM already knows about VM_FAULT_SIGBUS, but cannot return a
"you should SIGSEGV" error, because the SIGSEGV case was generally
handled by the caller - usually the architecture fault handler.

That results in lots of duplication - all the architecture fault
handlers end up doing very similar "look up vma, check permissions, do
retries etc" - but it generally works.  However, there are cases where
the VM actually wants to SIGSEGV, and applications _expect_ SIGSEGV.

In particular, when accessing the stack guard page, libsigsegv expects a
SIGSEGV.  And it usually got one, because the stack growth is handled by
that duplicated architecture fault handler.

However, when the generic VM layer started propagating the error return
from the stack expansion in commit fee7e49d ("mm: propagate error
from stack expansion even for guard page"), that now exposed the
existing VM_FAULT_SIGBUS result to user space.  And user space really
expected SIGSEGV, not SIGBUS.

To fix that case, we need to add a VM_FAULT_SIGSEGV, and teach all those
duplicate architecture fault handlers about it.  They all already have
the code to handle SIGSEGV, so it's about just tying that new return
value to the existing code, but it's all a bit annoying.

This is the mindless minimal patch to do this.  A more extensive patch
would be to try to gather up the mostly shared fault handling logic into
one generic helper routine, and long-term we really should do that
cleanup.

Just from this patch, you can generally see that most architectures just
copied (directly or indirectly) the old x86 way of doing things, but in
the meantime that original x86 model has been improved to hold the VM
semaphore for shorter times etc and to handle VM_FAULT_RETRY and other
"newer" things, so it would be a good idea to bring all those
improvements to the generic case and teach other architectures about
them too.

      module: remove mod arg from module_free, rename module_memfree(). · be1f221c

      Nothing needs the module pointer any more, and the next patch will
call it from RCU, where the module itself might no longer exist.
Removing the arg is the safest approach.

This just codifies the use of the module_alloc/module_free pattern
which ftrace and bpf use.
