<title>ARM: 7641/1: memory: fix broken mmap by ensuring TASK_UNMAPPED_BASE is aligned</title>

<content type='text'>
We have received multiple reports of mmap failures when running with a
2:2 vm split. These manifest as either -EINVAL with a non page-aligned
address (ending 0xaaa) or a SEGV, depending on the application. The
issue is commonly observed in children of make, which appears to use
bottom-up mmap (assumedly because it changes the stack rlimit).

Further investigation reveals that this regression was triggered by
394ef6403abc ("mm: use vm_unmapped_area() on arm architecture"), whereby
TASK_UNMAPPED_BASE is no longer page-aligned for bottom-up mmap, causing
get_unmapped_area to choke on misaligned addressed.

This patch fixes the problem by defining TASK_UNMAPPED_BASE in terms of
TASK_SIZE and explicitly aligns the result to 16M, matching the other
end of the heap.

Pull signal handling cleanups from Al Viro:
 "sigaltstack infrastructure + conversion for x86, alpha and um,
  COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE infrastructure.

  Note that there are several conflicts between "unify
  SS_ONSTACK/SS_DISABLE definitions" and UAPI patches in mainline;
  resolution is trivial - just remove definitions of SS_ONSTACK and
  SS_DISABLED from arch/*/uapi/asm/signal.h; they are all identical and
  include/uapi/linux/signal.h contains the unified variant."

Fixed up conflicts as per Al.

* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/signal:
  alpha: switch to generic sigaltstack
  new helpers: __save_altstack/__compat_save_altstack, switch x86 and um to those
  generic compat_sys_sigaltstack()
  introduce generic sys_sigaltstack(), switch x86 and um to it
  new helper: compat_user_stack_pointer()
  new helper: restore_altstack()
  unify SS_ONSTACK/SS_DISABLE definitions
  new helper: current_user_stack_pointer()

Pull IOMMU updates from Joerg Roedel:
 "A few new features this merge-window.  The most important one is
  probably, that dma-debug now warns if a dma-handle is not checked with
  dma_mapping_error by the device driver.  This requires minor changes
  to some architectures which make use of dma-debug.  Most of these
  changes have the respective Acks by the Arch-Maintainers.

  Besides that there are updates to the AMD IOMMU driver for refactor
  the IOMMU-Groups support and to make sure it does not trigger a
  hardware erratum.

  The OMAP changes (for which I pulled in a branch from Tony Lindgren's
  tree) have a conflict in linux-next with the arm-soc tree.  The
  conflict is in the file arch/arm/mach-omap2/clock44xx_data.c which is
  deleted in the arm-soc tree.  It is safe to delete the file too so
  solve the conflict.  Similar changes are done in the arm-soc tree in
  the common clock framework migration.  A missing hunk from the patch
  in the IOMMU tree will be submitted as a seperate patch when the
  merge-window is closed."

Pull Xen updates from Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk:
 - Add necessary infrastructure to make balloon driver work under ARM.
 - Add /dev/xen/privcmd interfaces to work with ARM and PVH.
 - Improve Xen PCIBack wild-card parsing.
 - Add Xen ACPI PAD (Processor Aggregator) support - so can offline/
   online sockets depending on the power consumption.
 - PVHVM + kexec = use an E820_RESV region for the shared region so we
   don't overwrite said region during kexec reboot.
 - Cleanups, compile fixes.

Fix up some trivial conflicts due to the balloon driver now working on
ARM, and there were changes next to the previous work-arounds that are
now gone.

Pull big execve/kernel_thread/fork unification series from Al Viro:
 "All architectures are converted to new model.  Quite a bit of that
  stuff is actually shared with architecture trees; in such cases it's
  literally shared branch pulled by both, not a cherry-pick.

  A lot of ugliness and black magic is gone (-3KLoC total in this one):

   - kernel_thread()/kernel_execve()/sys_execve() redesign.

     We don't do syscalls from kernel anymore for either kernel_thread()
     or kernel_execve():

     kernel_thread() is essentially clone(2) with callback run before we
     return to userland, the callbacks either never return or do
     successful do_execve() before returning.

     kernel_execve() is a wrapper for do_execve() - it doesn't need to
     do transition to user mode anymore.

     As a result kernel_thread() and kernel_execve() are
     arch-independent now - they live in kernel/fork.c and fs/exec.c
     resp.  sys_execve() is also in fs/exec.c and it's completely
     architecture-independent.

   - daemonize() is gone, along with its parts in fs/*.c

   - struct pt_regs * is no longer passed to do_fork/copy_process/
     copy_thread/do_execve/search_binary_handler/-&gt;load_binary/do_coredump.

   - sys_fork()/sys_vfork()/sys_clone() unified; some architectures
     still need wrappers (ones with callee-saved registers not saved in
     pt_regs on syscall entry), but the main part of those suckers is in
     kernel/fork.c now."

* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/signal: (113 commits)
  do_coredump(): get rid of pt_regs argument
  print_fatal_signal(): get rid of pt_regs argument
  ptrace_signal(): get rid of unused arguments
  get rid of ptrace_signal_deliver() arguments
  new helper: signal_pt_regs()
  unify default ptrace_signal_deliver
  flagday: kill pt_regs argument of do_fork()
  death to idle_regs()
  don't pass regs to copy_process()
  flagday: don't pass regs to copy_thread()
  bfin: switch to generic vfork, get rid of pointless wrappers
  xtensa: switch to generic clone()
  openrisc: switch to use of generic fork and clone
  unicore32: switch to generic clone(2)
  score: switch to generic fork/vfork/clone
  c6x: sanitize copy_thread(), get rid of clone(2) wrapper, switch to generic clone()
  take sys_fork/sys_vfork/sys_clone prototypes to linux/syscalls.h
