      Revert "x86/mm/gup: Switch GUP to the generic get_user_page_fast() implementation" · 6dd29b3d
      Ingo Molnar authored
      This reverts commit 2947ba05.
      
      Dan Williams reported dax-pmem kernel warnings with the following signature:
      
         WARNING: CPU: 8 PID: 245 at lib/percpu-refcount.c:155 percpu_ref_switch_to_atomic_rcu+0x1f5/0x200
         percpu ref (dax_pmem_percpu_release [dax_pmem]) <= 0 (0) after switching to atomic
      
      ... and bisected it to this commit, which suggests possible memory corruption
      caused by the x86 fast-GUP conversion.
      
      He also pointed out:
      
       "
        This is similar to the backtrace when we were not properly handling
        pud faults and was fixed with this commit: 220ced16 "mm: fix
        get_user_pages() vs device-dax pud mappings"
      
        I've found some missing _devmap checks in the generic
        get_user_pages_fast() path, but this does not fix the regression
        [...]
       "
      
      So given that there are known bugs, and a pretty robust looking bisection
      points to this commit suggesting that are unknown bugs in the conversion
      as well, revert it for the time being - we'll re-try in v4.13.

      Pull parisc fixes from Helge Deller:
       "Al Viro reported that - in case of read faults - our copy_from_user()
        implementation may claim to have copied more bytes than it actually
        did. In order to fix this bug and because of the way how gcc optimizes
        register usage for inline assembly in C code, we had to replace our
        pa_memcpy() function with a pure assembler implementation.
      
        While fixing the memcpy bug we noticed some other issues with our
        get_user() and put_user() functions, e.g. nested faults may return
        wrong data. This is now fixed by a common fixup handler for
        get_user/put_user in the exception handler which additionally makes
        generated code smaller and faster.
      
        The third patch is a trivial one-line fix for a patch which went in
        during 4.11-rc and which avoids stalled CPU warnings after power
        shutdown (for parisc machines which can't plug power off themselves).
      
        Due to the rewrite of pa_memcpy() into assembly this patch got bigger
        than what I wanted to have sent at this stage.
      
        Those patches have been running in production during the last few days
        on our debian build servers without any further issues"
