commit 33692f27 upstream. 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.

A vmalloc fault needs to sync up PGD/PTE entry from init_mm to current task's "active_mm". ARC vmalloc fault handler however was using mm. A vmalloc fault for non user task context (actually pre-userland, from init thread's open for /dev/console) caused the handler to deref NULL mm (for mm->pgd) The reasons it worked so far is amazing: 1. By default (!SMP), vmalloc fault handler uses a cached value of PGD. In SMP that MMU register is repurposed hence need for mm pointer deref. 2. In pre-3.12 SMP kernel, the problem triggering vmalloc didn't exist in pre-userland code path - it was introduced with commit 20bafb3d "n_tty: Move buffers into n_tty_data" Signed-off-by:

Unlike global OOM handling, memory cgroup code will invoke the OOM killer in any OOM situation because it has no way of telling faults occuring in kernel context - which could be handled more gracefully - from user-triggered faults. Pass a flag that identifies faults originating in user space from the architecture-specific fault handlers to generic code so that memcg OOM handling can be improved. Signed-off-by:

The memcg code can trap tasks in the context of the failing allocation until an OOM situation is resolved. They can hold all kinds of locks (fs, mm) at this point, which makes it prone to deadlocking. This series converts memcg OOM handling into a two step process that is started in the charge context, but any waiting is done after the fault stack is fully unwound. Patches 1-4 prepare architecture handlers to support the new memcg requirements, but in doing so they also remove old cruft and unify out-of-memory behavior across architectures. Patch 5 disables the memcg OOM handling for syscalls, readahead, kernel faults, because they can gracefully unwind the stack with -ENOMEM. OOM handling is restricted to user triggered faults that have no other option. Patch 6 reworks memcg's hierarchical OOM locking to make it a little more obvious wth is going on in there: reduce locked regions, rename locking functions, reorder and document. Patch 7 implements the two-part OOM handling such that tasks are never trapped with the full charge stack in an OOM situation. This patch: Back before smart OOM killing, when faulting tasks were killed directly on allocation failures, the arch-specific fault handlers needed special protection for the init process. Now that all fault handlers call into the generic OOM killer (see commit 609838cf : "mm: invoke oom-killer from remaining unconverted page fault handlers"), which already provides init protection, the arch-specific leftovers can be removed.

This helps remove asid-to-mm reverse map While mm->context.id contains the ASID assigned to a process, our ASID allocator also used asid_mm_map[] reverse map. In a new allocation cycle (mm->ASID >= @asid_cache), the Round Robin ASID allocator used this to check if new @asid_cache belonged to some mm2 (from prev cycle). If so, it could locate that mm using the ASID reverse map, and mark that mm as unallocated ASID, to force it to refresh at the time of switch_mm() However, for SMP, the reverse map has to be maintained per CPU, so becomes 2 dimensional, hence got rid of it. With reverse map gone, it is NOT possible to reach out to current assignee. So we track the ASID allocation generation/cycle and on every switch_mm(), check if the current generation of CPU ASID is same as mm's ASID; If not it is refreshed.

ASID allocation changes/1 This patch does 2 things: (1) get_new_mmu_context() NOW moves mm->ASID to a new value ONLY if it was from a prev allocation cycle/generation OR if mm had no ASID allocated (vs. before would unconditionally moving to a new ASID) Callers desiring unconditional update of ASID, e.g.local_flush_tlb_mm() (for parent's address space invalidation at fork) need to first force the parent to an unallocated ASID. (2) get_new_mmu_context() always sets the MMU PID reg with unchanged/new ASID value. The gains are: - consolidation of all asid alloc logic into get_new_mmu_context() - avoiding code duplication in switch_mm() for PID reg setting - Enables future change to fold activate_mm() into switch_mm() Signed-off-by:

The current ARC VM code has 13 flags in Page Table entry: some software (accesed/dirty/non-linear-maps) and rest hardware specific. With 8k MMU page, we need 19 bits for addressing page frame so remaining 13 bits is just about enough to accomodate the current flags. In MMUv4 there are 2 additional flags, SZ (normal or super page) and WT (cache access mode write-thru) - and additionally PFN is 20 bits (vs. 19 before for 8k). Thus these can't be held in current PTE w/o making each entry 64bit wide. It seems there is some scope of compressing the current PTE flags (and freeing up a few bits). Currently PTE contains fully orthogonal distinct access permissions for kernel and user mode (Kr, Kw, Kx; Ur, Uw, Ux) which can be folded into one set (R, W, X). The translation of 3 PTE bits into 6 TLB bits (when programming the MMU) can be done based on following pre-requites/assumptions: 1. For kernel-mode-only translations (vmalloc: 0x7000_0000 to 0x7FFF_FFFF), PTE additionally has PAGE_GLOBAL flag set (and user space entries can never be global). Thus such a PTE can translate to Kr, Kw, Kx (as appropriate) and zero for User mode counterparts. 2. For non global entries, the PTE flags can be used to create mirrored K and U TLB bits. This is true after commit a950549c "ARC: copy_(to|from)_user() to honor usermode-access permissions" which ensured that user-space translations _MUST_ have same access permissions for both U/K mode accesses so that copy_{to,from}_user() play fair with fault based CoW break and such... There is no such thing as free lunch - the cost is slightly infalted TLB-Miss Handlers. Signed-off-by:

After the recent cleanups, all the exception handlers now have same boilerplate prologue code. Move that into common macro. This reduces readability but helps greatly with sharing / duplicating entry code with ARCv2 ISA where the handlers are pretty much the same, just the entry prologue is different (due to hardware assist). Also while at it, add the missing FAKE_RET_FROM_EXCPN calls in couple of places to drop down to pure kernel mode (from exception mode) before jumping off into "C" code. Signed-off-by:

On some PAE architectures, the entire range of physical memory could reside outside the 32-bit limit. These systems need the ability to specify the initrd location using 64-bit numbers. This patch globally modifies the early_init_dt_setup_initrd_arch() function to use 64-bit numbers instead of the current unsigned long. There has been quite a bit of debate about whether to use u64 or phys_addr_t. It was concluded to stick to u64 to be consistent with rest of the device tree code. As summarized by Geert, "The address to load the initrd is decided by the bootloader/user and set at that point later in time. The dtb should not be tied to the kernel you are booting" More details on the discussion can be found here: https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/6/20/690 https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/9/13/544 Signed-off-by:

A few remaining architectures directly kill the page faulting task in an out of memory situation. This is usually not a good idea since that task might not even use a significant amount of memory and so may not be the optimal victim to resolve the situation. Since 2.6.29's 1c0fe6e3 ("mm: invoke oom-killer from page fault") there is a hook that architecture page fault handlers are supposed to call to invoke the OOM killer and let it pick the right task to kill. Convert the remaining architectures over to this hook. To have the previous behavior of simply taking out the faulting task the vm.oom_kill_allocating_task sysctl can be set to 1. Signed-off-by:

The __cpuinit type of throwaway sections might have made sense some time ago when RAM was more constrained, but now the savings do not offset the cost and complications. For example, the fix in commit 5e427ec2 ("x86: Fix bit corruption at CPU resume time") is a good example of the nasty type of bugs that can be created with improper use of the various __init prefixes. After a discussion on LKML[1] it was decided that cpuinit should go the way of devinit and be phased out. Once all the users are gone, we can then finally remove the macros themselves from linux/init.h. Note that some harmless section mismatch warnings may result, since notify_cpu_starting() and cpu_up() are arch independent (kernel/cpu.c) are flagged as __cpuinit -- so if we remove the __cpuinit from arch specific callers, we will also get section mismatch warnings. As an intermediate step, we intend to turn the linux/init.h cpuinit content into no-ops as early as possible, since that will get rid of these warnings. In any case, they are temporary and harmless. This removes all the arch/arc uses of the __cpuinit macros from all C files. Currently arc does not have any __CPUINIT used in assembly files.

This can be ascertained within do_page_fault() since it gets the full ECR (Exception Cause Register). Further, for both the callers of do_page_fault(): Prot-V / D-TLB-Miss, the cause sub-fields in ECR are same for same type of access, making the code much more simpler. D-TLB-Miss [LD] 0x00_21_01_00 Prot-V [LD] 0x00_23_01_00 ^^ D-TLB-Miss [ST] 0x00_21_02_00 Prot-V [ST] 0x00_23_02_00 ^^ D-TLB-Miss [EX] 0x00_21_03_00 Prot-V [EX] 0x00_23_03_00 ^^ This helps code consolidation, which is even better when moving code from assembler to "C".

gdbserver inserting a breakpoint ends up calling copy_user_page() for a code page. The generic version of which (non-aliasing config) didn't set the PG_arch_1 bit hence update_mmu_cache() didn't sync dcache/icache for corresponding dynamic loader code page - causing garbade to be executed. So now aliasing versions of copy_user_highpage()/clear_page() are made default. There is no significant overhead since all of special alias handling code is compiled out for non-aliasing build Signed-off-by:

The VM_EXEC check in update_mmu_cache() was getting optimized away because of a stupid error in definition of macro addr_not_cache_congruent() The intention was to have the equivalent of following: if (a || (1 ? b : 0)) but we ended up with following: if (a || 1 ? b : 0) And because precedence of '||' is more that that of '?', gcc was optimizing away evaluation of <a> Nasty Repercussions: 1. For non-aliasing configs it would mean some extraneous dcache flushes for non-code pages if U/K mappings were not congruent. 2. For aliasing config, some needed dcache flush for code pages might be missed if U/K mappings were congruent. Signed-off-by:

This manifested as grep failing psuedo-randomly: -------------->8--------------------- [ARCLinux]$ ip address show lo | grep inet [ARCLinux]$ ip address show lo | grep inet [ARCLinux]$ ip address show lo | grep inet [ARCLinux]$ [ARCLinux]$ ip address show lo | grep inet inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo -------------->8--------------------- ARC700 MMU provides fully orthogonal permission bits per page: Ur, Uw, Ux, Kr, Kw, Kx The user mode page permission templates used to have all Kernel mode access bits enabled. This caused a tricky race condition observed with uClibc buffered file read and UNIX pipes. 1. Read access to an anon mapped page in libc .bss: write-protected zero_page mapped: TLB Entry installed with Ur + K[rwx] 2. grep calls libc:getc() -> buffered read layer calls read(2) with the internal read buffer in same .bss page. The read() call is on STDIN which has been redirected to a pipe. read(2) => sys_read() => pipe_read() => copy_to_user() 3. Since page has Kernel-write permission (despite being user-mode write-protected), copy_to_user() suceeds w/o taking a MMU TLB-Miss Exception (page-fault for ARC). core-MM is unaware that kernel erroneously wrote to the reserved read-only zero-page (BUG #1) 4. Control returns to userspace which now does a write to same .bss page Since Linux MM is not aware that page has been modified by kernel, it simply reassigns a new writable zero-init page to mapping, loosing the prior write by kernel - effectively zero'ing out the libc read buffer under the hood - hence grep doesn't see right data (BUG #2) The fix is to make all kernel-mode access permissions mirror the user-mode ones. Note that the kernel still has full access to pages, when accessed directly (w/o MMU) - this fix ensures that kernel-mode access in copy_to_from() path uses the same faulting access model as for pure user accesses to keep MM fully aware of page state. The issue is peudo-random because it only shows up if the TLB entry installed in #1 is present at the time of #3. If it is evicted out, due to TLB pressure or some-such, then copy_to_user() does take a TLB Miss Exception, with a routine write-to-anon COW processing installing a fresh page for kernel writes and also usable as it is in userspace. Further the issue was dormant for so long as it depends on where the libc internal read buffer (in .bss) is mapped at runtime. If it happens to reside in file-backed data mapping of libc (in the page-aligned slack space trailing the file backed data), loader zero padding the slack space, does the early cow page replacement, setting things up at the very beginning itself. With gcc 4.8 based builds, the libc buffer got pushed out to a real anon mapping which triggers the issue. Reported-by:

Flush and INVALIDATE the dcache page. This helper is only used for writeback of CODE pages to memory. So there's no value in keeping the dcache lines around. Infact it is risky as a writeback on natural eviction under pressure can cause un-needed writeback with weird issues on aliasing dcache configurations. Signed-off-by:
