commit b1c6ecfdd06907554518ec384ce8e99889d15193 upstream.

Function syscall_trace_exit expects pointer to pt_regs. However
r0 is also used to keep syscall return value. Restore pointer
to pt_regs before calling syscall_trace_exit.

[ 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

  Process mkfs.ext4 (pid: 123, stack limit = 0x495a22e6)
  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.

PowerPC exported it in 2004. It looks like nds32 and nios2

[ Upstream commit bf79167fd86f3b97390fe2e70231d383526bd9cc ]

Enabling CONFIG_STACKDEPOT results in the following build error.

arc-elf-ld: lib/stackdepot.o: in function `filter_irq_stacks':
stackdepot.c:(.text+0x456): undefined reference to `__irqentry_text_start'

arc-elf-ld: stackdepot.c:(.text+0x48c): undefined reference to `__softirqentry_text_end'

Other architectures address this problem by adding IRQENTRY_TEXT and
SOFTIRQENTRY_TEXT to the text segment, so do the same here.

commit 3433adc8bd09fc9f29b8baddf33b4ecd1ecd2cdc upstream.

We have NR_syscall syscalls from [0 .. NR_syscall-1].
However the check for invalid syscall number is "&gt; NR_syscall" as
opposed to &gt;=. This off-by-one error erronesously allows "NR_syscall"
to be treated as valid syscall causeing out-of-bounds access into
syscall-call table ensuing a crash (holes within syscall table have a
invalid-entry handler but this is beyond the array implementing the
table).

This problem showed up on v5.6 kernel when testing glibc 2.33 (v5.10
kernel capable, includng faccessat2 syscall 439). The v5.6 kernel has
NR_syscalls=439 (0 to 438). Due to the bug, 439 passed by glibc was
not handled as -ENOSYS but processed leading to a crash.

[ Upstream commit 8a48c0a3360bf2bf4f40c980d0ec216e770e58ee ]

fs/dax.c uses copy_user_page() but ARC does not provide that interface,
resulting in a build error.

Provide copy_user_page() in &lt;asm/page.h&gt;.

../fs/dax.c: In function 'copy_cow_page_dax':
../fs/dax.c:702:2: error: implicit declaration of function 'copy_user_page'; did you mean 'copy_to_user_page'? [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]

<title>ARC: build: add boot_targets to PHONY</title>

[ Upstream commit 0cfccb3c04934cdef42ae26042139f16e805b5f7 ]

The top-level boot_targets (uImage and uImage.*) should be phony
targets. They just let Kbuild descend into arch/arc/boot/ and create
files there.

If a file exists in the top directory with the same name, the boot
image will not be created.

You can confirm it by the following steps:

  $ export CROSS_COMPILE=&lt;your-arc-compiler-prefix&gt;
  $ make -s ARCH=arc defconfig all   # vmlinux will be built
  $ touch uImage.gz
  $ make ARCH=arc uImage.gz
  CALL    scripts/atomic/check-atomics.sh
  CALL    scripts/checksyscalls.sh
  CHK     include/generated/compile.h
  # arch/arc/boot/uImage.gz is not created

Specify the targets as PHONY to fix this.

<title>ARC: stack unwinding: don't assume non-current task is sleeping</title>

[ Upstream commit e42404fa10fd11fe72d0a0e149a321d10e577715 ]

To start stack unwinding (SP, PC and BLINK) are needed. When the
explicit execution context (pt_regs etc) is not available, unwinder
assumes the task is sleeping (in __switch_to()) and fetches SP and BLINK
from kernel mode stack.

But this assumption is not true, specially in a SMP system, when top
runs on 1 core, there may be active running processes on all cores.

So when unwinding non courrent tasks, ensure they are NOT running.

And while at it, handle the self unwinding case explicitly.

This came out of investigation of a customer reported hang with
rcutorture+top

<title>Revert "ARC: entry: fix potential EFA clobber when TIF_SYSCALL_TRACE"</title>

This reverts commit 00fdec98d9881bf5173af09aebd353ab3b9ac729.
(but only from 5.2 and prior kernels)

The original commit was a preventive fix based on code-review and was
auto-picked for stable back-port (for better or worse).
It was OK for v5.3+ kernels, but turned up needing an implicit change
68e5c6f073bcf70 "(ARC: entry: EV_Trap expects r10 (vs. r9) to have
 exception cause)" merged in v5.3 which itself was not backported.
So to summarize the stable backport of this patch for v5.2 and prior
kernels is busted and it won't boot.

The obvious solution is backport 68e5c6f073bcf70 but that is a pain as
it doesn't revert cleanly and each of affected kernels (so far v4.19,
v4.14, v4.9, v4.4) needs a slightly different massaged varaint.
So the easier fix is to simply revert the backport from 5.2 and prior.
The issue was not a big deal as it would cause strace to sporadically
not work correctly.

Waldemar Brodkorb first reported this when running ARC uClibc regressions
on latest stable kernels (with offending backport). Once he bisected it,
the analysis was trivial, so thx to him for this.
