commit 42f51fb24fd39cc547c086ab3d8a314cc603a91c upstream.

... to avoid unwanted gcc optimizations

SMP kernels fail to boot with commit 596ff4a09b89
("cpumask: re-introduce constant-sized cpumask optimizations").

|
| percpu: BUG: failure at mm/percpu.c:2981/pcpu_build_alloc_info()!
|

The write operation performed by the SCOND instruction in the atomic
inline asm code is not properly passed to the compiler. The compiler
cannot correctly optimize a nested loop that runs through the cpumask
in the pcpu_build_alloc_info() function.

Fix this by add a compiler barrier (memory clobber in inline asm).

Apparently atomic ops used to have memory clobber implicitly via
surrounding smp_mb(). However commit b64be6836993c431e
("ARC: atomics: implement relaxed variants") removed the smp_mb() for
the relaxed variants, but failed to add the explicit compiler barrier.

<title>ARC: define ASM_NL and __ALIGN(_STR) outside #ifdef __ASSEMBLY__ guard</title>

[ Upstream commit 92e2921eeafdfca9acd9b83f07d2b7ca099bac24 ]

ASM_NL is useful not only in *.S files but also in .c files for using
inline assembler in C code.

On ARC, however, ASM_NL is evaluated inconsistently. It is expanded to
a backquote (`) in *.S files, but a semicolon (;) in *.c files because
arch/arc/include/asm/linkage.h defines it inside #ifdef __ASSEMBLY__,
so the definition for C code falls back to the default value defined in
include/linux/linkage.h.

If ASM_NL is used in inline assembler in .c files, it will result in
wrong assembly code because a semicolon is not an instruction separator,
but the start of a comment for ARC.

Move ASM_NL (also __ALIGN and __ALIGN_STR) out of the #ifdef.

Fixes: 9df62f054406 ("arch: use ASM_NL instead of ';' for assembler new line character in the macro")

commit a050ba1e7422f2cc60ff8bfde3f96d34d00cb585 upstream.

This does the simple pattern conversion of alpha, arc, csky, hexagon,
loongarch, nios2, sh, sparc32, and xtensa to the lock_mm_and_find_vma()
helper.  They all have the regular fault handling pattern without odd
special cases.

The remaining architectures all have something that keeps us from a
straightforward conversion: ia64 and parisc have stacks that can grow
both up as well as down (and ia64 has special address region checks).

And m68k, microblaze, openrisc, sparc64, and um end up having extra
rules about only expanding the stack down a limited amount below the
user space stack pointer.  That is something that x86 used to do too
(long long ago), and it probably could just be skipped, but it still
makes the conversion less than trivial.

Note that this conversion was done manually and with the exception of
alpha without any build testing, because I have a fairly limited cross-
building environment.  The cases are all simple, and I went through the
changes several times, but...

<title>ARC: mm: fix leakage of memory allocated for PTE</title>

<id>4fd9df10cb7a9289fbd22d669f9f98164d95a1ce</id>
<content type='text'>
Since commit d9820ff ("ARC: mm: switch pgtable_t back to struct page *")
a memory leakage problem occurs. Memory allocated for page table entries
not released during process termination. This issue can be reproduced by
a small program that allocates a large amount of memory. After several
runs, you'll see that the amount of free memory has reduced and will
continue to reduce after each run. All ARC CPUs are effected by this
issue. The issue was introduced since the kernel stable release v5.15-rc1.

As described in commit d9820ff after switch pgtable_t back to struct
page *, a pointer to "struct page" and appropriate functions are used to
allocate and free a memory page for PTEs, but the pmd_pgtable macro hasn't
changed and returns the direct virtual address from the PMD (PGD) entry.
Than this address used as a parameter in the __pte_free() and as a result
this function couldn't release memory page allocated for PTEs.

Fix this issue by changing the pmd_pgtable macro and returning pointer to
struct page.

Clean up config files by:
  - removing configs that were deleted in the past
  - removing configs not in tree and without recently pending patches
  - adding new configs that are replacements for old configs in the file
