[ Upstream commit cef397038167ac15d085914493d6c86385773709 ]

Stefan Agner reported a bug when using zsram on 32-bit Arm machines
with RAM above the 4GB address boundary:

  Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000000
  pgd = a27bd01c

  Stack: (0xe376bbe0 to 0xe376c000)

As it turns out, zsram needs to know the maximum memory size, which
is defined in MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS when CONFIG_SPARSEMEM is set, or in
MAX_POSSIBLE_PHYSMEM_BITS on the x86 architecture.

The same problem will be hit on all 32-bit architectures that have a
physical address space larger than 4GB and happen to not enable sparsemem
and include asm/sparsemem.h from asm/pgtable.h.

After the initial discussion, I suggested just always defining
MAX_POSSIBLE_PHYSMEM_BITS whenever CONFIG_PHYS_ADDR_T_64BIT is
set, or provoking a build error otherwise. This addresses all
configurations that can currently have this runtime bug, but
leaves all other configurations unchanged.

I looked up the possible number of bits in source code and
datasheets, here is what I found:

 - on ARC, CONFIG_ARC_HAS_PAE40 controls whether 32 or 40 bits are used
 - on ARM, CONFIG_LPAE enables 40 bit addressing, without it we never
   support more than 32 bits, even though supersections in theory allow
   up to 40 bits as well.
 - on MIPS, some MIPS32r1 or later chips support 36 bits, and MIPS32r5
   XPA supports up to 60 bits in theory, but 40 bits are more than
   anyone will ever ship
 - On PowerPC, there are three different implementations of 36 bit
   addressing, but 32-bit is used without CONFIG_PTE_64BIT
 - On RISC-V, the normal page table format can support 34 bit
   addressing. There is no highmem support on RISC-V, so anything
   above 2GB is unused, but it might be useful to eventually support
   CONFIG_ZRAM for high pages.

commit 6e3761145a9ba3ce267c330b6bff51cf6a057b06 upstream.

swap was broken on ARC due to silly copy-paste issue.

We encode offset from swapcache page in __swp_entry() as (off &lt;&lt; 13) but
were not decoding back in __swp_offset() as (off &gt;&gt; 13) - it was still
(off &lt;&lt; 13).

This finally fixes swap usage on ARC.

commit 1c3c90930392 broke PAE40. Macro pfn_pte(pfn, prot) creates paddr
from pfn, but the page shift was getting truncated to 32 bits since we lost
the proper cast to 64 bits (for PAE400

Instead of reverting that commit, use a better helper which is 32/64 bits
safe just like ARM implementation.

With STRICT_MM_TYPECHECKS pte_t is a struct and the offending code
forces a cast which ends up shifting a struct and hence the gcc warning.

Note that in recent past some of the arches (aarch64, s390) made
STRICT_MM_TYPECHECKS default, but we don't for ARC as this leads to slightly
worse generated code, given ARC ABI definition of returning structs
(which pte_t would become)

Quoting from ARC ABI...

  "Results of type struct are returned in a caller-supplied temporary
  variable whose address is passed in r0.
  For such functions, the arguments are shifted so that they are
  passed in r1 and up."

So
 - struct to be returned would be allocated on stack requiring extra
   code at call sites
 - callee updates stack memory to facilitate the return (vs. simple
   MOV into return reg r0)

Hence STRICT_MM_TYPECHECKS is not enabled by default for ARC

And for newer kernels, the system was rendered unusable afterwards.

The problem was mprotect-&gt;pte_modify() clearing PTE_SPECIAL (which is
set to identify the special zero page wired to the pte).
When pte was finally unmapped, special casing for zero page was not
done, and instead it was treated as a "normal" page, tripping on the
map counts etc.

On ARC, lower 2G of address space is translated and used for
 - user vaddr space (region 0 to 5)
 - unused kernel-user gutter (region 6)
 - kernel vaddr space (region 7)

where each region simply represents 256MB of address space.

The kernel vaddr space of 256MB is used to implement vmalloc, modules
So far this was enough, but not on EZChip system with 4K CPUs (given
that per cpu mechanism uses vmalloc for allocating chunks)

So allow VMALLOC_SIZE to be configurable by expanding down into the unused
kernel-user gutter region which at default 256M was excessive anyways.

Also use _BITUL() to fix a build error since PGDIR_SIZE cannot use "1UL"
as called from assembly code in mm/tlbex.S

So a benign looking cleanup which macro'ized PAGE_SHIFT shifts turned
out to be bad (since it was done non-sensically across the board).

It caused boot failures with PAE40 as forced cast to (unsigned long)
from newly introduced virt_to_pfn() was causing truncatiion of the
(long long) pte/paddr values.

It is OK to use this in accessors dealing with kernel virtual address,
pointers etc, but not for PTE values themelves.

Fixes: cJ2ff5cf2735c ("ARC: mm: Use virt_to_pfn() for addr &gt;&gt; PAGE_SHIFT pattern)
