commit c5f756d8c6265ebb1736a7787231f010a3b782e5 upstream.

32-bit PAGE_MASK can not be used as a mask for physical addresses
when PAE is enabled. PAGE_MASK_PHYS must be used for physical
addresses instead of PAGE_MASK.

Without this, init gets SIGSEGV if pte_modify was called:

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.

<title>ARC: build: move symlink creation to arch/arc/Makefile to avoid race</title>

[ Upstream commit c5e6ae563c802c4d828d42e134af64004db2e58c ]

If you run 'make uImage uImage.gz' with the parallel option, uImage.gz
will be created by two threads simultaneously.

This is because arch/arc/Makefile does not specify the dependency
between uImage and uImage.gz. Hence, GNU Make assumes they can be
built in parallel. One thread descends into arch/arc/boot/ to create
uImage, and another to create uImage.gz.

Please notice the same log is displayed twice in the following steps:

  $ export CROSS_COMPILE=&lt;your-arc-compiler-prefix&gt;
  $ make -s ARCH=arc defconfig
  $ make -j$(nproc) ARCH=arc uImage uImage.gz
  [ snip ]
    LD      vmlinux
    SORTTAB vmlinux
    SYSMAP  System.map
    OBJCOPY arch/arc/boot/vmlinux.bin
    OBJCOPY arch/arc/boot/vmlinux.bin
    GZIP    arch/arc/boot/vmlinux.bin.gz
    GZIP    arch/arc/boot/vmlinux.bin.gz
    UIMAGE  arch/arc/boot/uImage.gz
    UIMAGE  arch/arc/boot/uImage.gz
  Image Name:   Linux-5.10.0-rc4-00003-g62f23044
  Created:      Sun Nov 22 02:52:26 2020
  Image Type:   ARC Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed)
  Data Size:    2109376 Bytes = 2059.94 KiB = 2.01 MiB
  Load Address: 80000000

  Load Address: 80000000
  Entry Point:  80004000

This is a race between the two threads trying to write to the same file
arch/arc/boot/uImage.gz. This is a potential problem that can generate
a broken file.

I fixed a similar problem for ARM by commit 3939f3345050 ("ARM: 8418/1:
add boot image dependencies to not generate invalid images").

I highly recommend to avoid such build rules that cause a race condition.

Move the uImage rule to arch/arc/Makefile.

Another strangeness is that arch/arc/boot/Makefile compares the
timestamps between $(obj)/uImage and $(obj)/uImage.*:

  $(obj)/uImage: $(obj)/uImage.$(suffix-y)
          @ln -sf $(notdir $&lt;) $@
          @echo '  Image $@ is ready'

This does not work as expected since $(obj)/uImage is a symlink.
The symlink should be created in a phony target rule.

I used $(kecho) instead of echo to suppress the message
'Image arch/arc/boot/uImage is ready' when the -s option is given.

[ 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.

arch/arc/boot/Makefile supports uImage.lzma, but you cannot do
'make uImage.lzma' because the corresponding target is missing
in arch/arc/Makefile. Add it.

arch/arc/boot/Makefile supports uImage.lzma, but you cannot do
'make uImage.lzma' because the corresponding target is missing
in arch/arc/Makefile. Add it.

I also changed the assignment operator '+=' to ':=' since this is the
only place where we expect this variable to be set.

[ Upstream commit 9836720911cfec25d3fbdead1c438bf87e0f2841 ]

The deb-pkg builds for ARCH=arc fail.

  $ export CROSS_COMPILE=&lt;your-arc-compiler-prefix&gt;
  $ make -s ARCH=arc defconfig
  $ make ARCH=arc bindeb-pkg
  SORTTAB vmlinux
  SYSMAP  System.map
  MODPOST Module.symvers
  make KERNELRELEASE=5.10.0-rc4 ARCH=arc KBUILD_BUILD_VERSION=2 -f ./Makefile intdeb-pkg
  sh ./scripts/package/builddeb
  cp: cannot stat 'arch/arc/boot/bootpImage': No such file or directory
  make[4]: *** [scripts/Makefile.package:87: intdeb-pkg] Error 1
  make[3]: *** [Makefile:1527: intdeb-pkg] Error 2
  make[2]: *** [debian/rules:13: binary-arch] Error 2
  dpkg-buildpackage: error: debian/rules binary subprocess returned exit status 2
  make[1]: *** [scripts/Makefile.package:83: bindeb-pkg] Error 2
  make: *** [Makefile:1527: bindeb-pkg] Error 2

The reason is obvious; arch/arc/Makefile sets $(boot)/bootpImage as
the default image, but there is no rule to build it.

Remove the meaningless KBUILD_IMAGE assignment so it will fallback
to the default vmlinux. With this change, you can build the deb package.

I removed the 'bootpImage' target as well. At best, it provides
'make bootpImage' as an alias of 'make vmlinux', but I do not see
much sense in doing so.

<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

[ 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.
