[ Upstream commit 3925a16ae980c79d1a8fd182d7f9487da1edd4dc ]

LTP madvise05 was generating mm splat

| [ARCLinux]# /sd/ltp/testcases/bin/madvise05
| BUG: Bad page map in process madvise05  pte:80e08211 pmd:9f7d4000
| page:9fdcfc90 count:1 mapcount:-1 mapping:  (null) index:0x0 flags: 0x404(referenced|reserved)

| CPU: 2 PID: 6707 Comm: madvise05

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.

This fixes ARC STAR 9001053308

[ Upstream commit 9bd54517ee86cb164c734f72ea95aeba4804f10b ]

If CONFIG_ARC_DW2_UNWIND is disabled every time arc_unwind_core()
gets called following message gets printed in debug console:
-----------------&gt;8---------------
CONFIG_ARC_DW2_UNWIND needs to be enabled
-----------------&gt;8---------------

That message makes sense if user indeed wants to see a backtrace or
get nice function call-graphs in perf but what if user disabled
unwinder for the purpose? Why pollute his debug console?

So instead we'll warn user about possibly missing feature once and
let him decide if that was what he or she really wanted.

[ Upstream commit f52e126cc7476196f44f3c313b7d9f0699a881fc ]

With recent binutils update to support dwarf CFI pseudo-ops in gas, we
now get .eh_frame vs. .debug_frame. Although the call frame info is
exactly the same in both, the CIE differs, which the current kernel
unwinder can't cope with.

This broke both the kernel unwinder as well as loadable modules (latter
because of a new unhandled relo R_ARC_32_PCREL from .rela.eh_frame in
the module loader)

The ideal solution would be to switch unwinder to .eh_frame.
For now however we can make do by just ensureing .debug_frame is
generated by removing -fasynchronous-unwind-tables

 .eh_frame    generated with -gdwarf-2 -fasynchronous-unwind-tables
 .debug_frame generated with -gdwarf-2

[ Upstream commit 2576c28e3f623ed401db7e6197241865328620ef ]

 - arch_spin_lock/unlock were lacking the ACQUIRE/RELEASE barriers
   Since ARCv2 only provides load/load, store/store and all/all, we need
   the full barrier

 - LLOCK/SCOND based atomics, bitops, cmpxchg, which return modified
   values were lacking the explicit smp barriers.

 - Non LLOCK/SCOND varaints don't need the explicit barriers since that
   is implicity provided by the spin locks used to implement the
   critical section (the spin lock barriers in turn are also fixed in
   this commit as explained above

[ Upstream commit d57f727264f1425a94689bafc7e99e502cb135b5 ]

When auditing cmpxchg call sites, Chuck noted that gcc was optimizing
away some of the desired LDs.

|	do {
|		new = old = *ipi_data_ptr;
|		new |= 1U &lt;&lt; msg;
|	} while (cmpxchg(ipi_data_ptr, old, new) != old);

was generating to below

| 8015cef8:	ld         r2,[r4,0]  &lt;-- First LD
| 8015cefc:	bset       r1,r2,r1
|
| 8015cf00:	llock      r3,[r4]  &lt;-- atomic op
| 8015cf04:	brne       r3,r2,8015cf10
| 8015cf08:	scond      r1,[r4]
| 8015cf0c:	bnz        8015cf00
|
| 8015cf10:	brne       r3,r2,8015cf00  &lt;-- Branch doesn't go to orig LD

Although this was fixed by adding a ACCESS_ONCE in this call site, it
seems safer (for now at least) to add compiler barrier to LLSC based
cmpxchg

[ Upstream commit e4140819dadc3624accac8294881bca8a3cba4ed ]

A malicious signal handler / restorer can DOS the system by fudging the
user regs saved on stack, causing weird things such as sigreturn returning
to user mode PC but cpu state still being kernel mode....

Ensure that in sigreturn path status32 always has U bit; any other bogosity
(gargbage PC etc) will be taken care of by normal user mode exceptions mechanisms.

Reproducer signal handler:

    void handle_sig(int signo, siginfo_t *info, void *context)
    {
	ucontext_t *uc = context;
	struct user_regs_struct *regs = &amp;(uc-&gt;uc_mcontext.regs);

	regs-&gt;scratch.status32 = 0;
    }

Before the fix, kernel would go off to weeds like below:

    ---------&gt;8-----------
    [ARCLinux]$ ./signal-test
    Path: /signal-test

[ Upstream commit 6914e1e3f63caa829431160f0f7093292daef2d5 ]

The regfile provided to SA_SIGINFO signal handler as ucontext was off by
one due to pt_regs gutter cleanups in 2013.

Before handling signal, user pt_regs are copied onto user_regs_struct and copied
back later. Both structs are binary compatible. This was all fine until
commit 2fa919045b72 (ARC: pt_regs update #2) which removed the empty stack slot
at top of pt_regs (corresponding to first pad) and made the corresponding
fixup in struct user_regs_struct (the pad in there was moved out of
@scratch - not removed altogether as it is part of ptrace ABI)

 struct user_regs_struct {
+       long pad;
        struct {
-               long pad;
                long bta, lp_start, lp_end,....
        } scratch;
 ...
 }

This meant that now user_regs_struct was off by 1 reg w.r.t pt_regs and
signal code needs to user_regs_struct.scratch to reflect it as pt_regs,
which is what this commit does.

This problem was hidden for 2 years, because both save/restore, despite
using wrong location, were using the same location. Only an interim
inspection (reproducer below) exposed the issue.

     void handle_segv(int signo, siginfo_t *info, void *context)
     {
 	ucontext_t *uc = context;
	struct user_regs_struct *regs = &amp;(uc-&gt;uc_mcontext.regs);

	printf("regs %x %x\n",               &lt;=== prints 7 8 (vs. 8 9)
               regs-&gt;scratch.r8, regs-&gt;scratch.r9);
     }

     int main()
     {
	struct sigaction sa;

	sa.sa_sigaction = handle_segv;
	sa.sa_flags = SA_SIGINFO;
	sigemptyset(&amp;sa.sa_mask);
	sigaction(SIGSEGV, &amp;sa, NULL);

	asm volatile(
	"mov	r7, 7	\n"
	"mov	r8, 8	\n"
	"mov	r9, 9	\n"
	"mov	r10, 10	\n"
	:::"r7","r8","r9","r10");

	*((unsigned int*)0x10) = 0;
     }

[ Upstream commit 6914e1e3f63caa829431160f0f7093292daef2d5 ]

The regfile provided to SA_SIGINFO signal handler as ucontext was off by
one due to pt_regs gutter cleanups in 2013.

Before handling signal, user pt_regs are copied onto user_regs_struct and copied
back later. Both structs are binary compatible. This was all fine until
commit 2fa919045b72 (ARC: pt_regs update #2) which removed the empty stack slot
at top of pt_regs (corresponding to first pad) and made the corresponding
fixup in struct user_regs_struct (the pad in there was moved out of
@scratch - not removed altogether as it is part of ptrace ABI)

 struct user_regs_struct {
+       long pad;
        struct {
-               long pad;
                long bta, lp_start, lp_end,....
        } scratch;
 ...
 }

commit 13648b0118a24f4fc76c34e6c7b6ccf447e46a2a upstream.

/proc/&lt;pid&gt;/maps currently don't annotate stack vma with "[stack]"
This is because KSTK_ESP ie expected to return usermode SP of tsk while
currently it returns the kernel mode SP of a sleeping tsk.

While the fix is trivial, we also need to adjust the ARC kernel stack
unwinder to not use KSTK_SP and friends any more.

<title>ARC: fix page address calculation if PAGE_OFFSET != LINUX_LINK_BASE</title>

commit 06f34e1c28f3608b0ce5b310e41102d3fe7b65a1 upstream.

We used to calculate page address differently in 2 cases:

1. In virt_to_page(x) we do
 ---&gt;8---
 mem_map + (x - CONFIG_LINUX_LINK_BASE) &gt;&gt; PAGE_SHIFT
 ---&gt;8---

2. In in pte_page(x) we do
 ---&gt;8---
 mem_map + (pte_val(x) - PAGE_OFFSET) &gt;&gt; PAGE_SHIFT
 ---&gt;8---

That leads to problems in case PAGE_OFFSET != CONFIG_LINUX_LINK_BASE -
different pages will be selected depending on where and how we calculate
page address.

In particular in the STAR 9000853582 when gdb attempted to read memory
of another process it got improper page in get_user_pages() because this
is exactly one of the places where we search for a page by pte_page().

The fix is trivial - we need to calculate page address similarly in both
cases.
