arm64: Fix THP protection change logic

2015-10-27T00:53:43+00:00

commit 1a541b4e3cd6f5795022514114854b3e1345f24e upstream.

6910fa1 ("arm64: enable PTE type bit in the mask for pte_modify") fixes
a problem whereby a large block of PROT_NONE mapped memory is
incorrectly mapped as block descriptors when mprotect is called.

Unfortunately, a subtle bug was introduced by this fix to the THP logic.

If one mmaps a large block of memory, then faults it such that it is
collapsed into THPs; resulting calls to mprotect on this area of memory
will lead to incorrect table descriptors being written instead of block
descriptors. This is because pmd_modify calls pte_modify which is now
allowed to modify the type of the page table entry.

This patch reverts commit 6910fa16dbe142f6a0fd0fd7c249f9883ff7fc8a, and
fixes the problem it was trying to address by adjusting PAGE_NONE to
represent a table entry. Thus no change in pte type is required when
moving from PROT_NONE to a different protection.

arm64: set MAX_MEMBLOCK_ADDR according to linear region size

2015-09-29T17:33:20+00:00

commit 34ba2c4247e5c4b1542b1106e156af324660c4f0 upstream.

The linear region size of a 39-bit VA kernel is only 256 GB, which
may be insufficient to cover all of system RAM, even on platforms
that have much less than 256 GB of memory but which is laid out
very sparsely.

So make sure we clip the memory we will not be able to map before
installing it into the memblock memory table, by setting
MAX_MEMBLOCK_ADDR accordingly.

mm: clean up per architecture MM hook header files

2015-07-17T23:39:53+00:00

Commit 2ae416b142b6 ("mm: new mm hook framework") introduced an empty
header file (mm-arch-hooks.h) for every architecture, even those which
doesn't need to define mm hooks.

As suggested by Geert Uytterhoeven, this could be cleaned through the use
of a generic header file included via each per architecture
asm/include/Kbuild file.

The PowerPC architecture is not impacted here since this architecture has
to defined the arch_remap MM hook.

ACPI / ARM64: add BAD_MADT_GICC_ENTRY() macro

2015-07-07T13:54:59+00:00

The BAD_MADT_ENTRY() macro is designed to work for all of the subtables
of the MADT.  In the ACPI 5.1 version of the spec, the struct for the
GICC subtable (struct acpi_madt_generic_interrupt) is 76 bytes long; in
ACPI 6.0, the struct is 80 bytes long.  But, there is only one definition
in ACPICA for this struct -- and that is the 6.0 version.  Hence, when
BAD_MADT_ENTRY() compares the struct size to the length in the GICC
subtable, it fails if 5.1 structs are in use, and there are systems in
the wild that have them.

This patch adds the BAD_MADT_GICC_ENTRY() that checks the GICC subtable
only, accounting for the difference in specification versions that are
possible.  The BAD_MADT_ENTRY() will continue to work as is for all other
MADT subtables.

This code is being added to an arm64 header file since that is currently
the only architecture using the GICC subtable of the MADT.  As a GIC is
specific to ARM, it is also unlikely the subtable will be used elsewhere.

mm: new mm hook framework

2015-06-25T00:49:41+00:00

CRIU is recreating the process memory layout by remapping the checkpointee
memory area on top of the current process (criu).  This includes remapping
the vDSO to the place it has at checkpoint time.

However some architectures like powerpc are keeping a reference to the
vDSO base address to build the signal return stack frame by calling the
vDSO sigreturn service.  So once the vDSO has been moved, this reference
is no more valid and the signal frame built later are not usable.

This patch serie is introducing a new mm hook framework, and a new
arch_remap hook which is called when mremap is done and the mm lock still
hold.  The next patch is adding the vDSO remap and unmap tracking to the
powerpc architecture.

This patch (of 3):

This patch introduces a new set of header file to manage mm hooks:
- per architecture empty header file (arch/x/include/asm/mm-arch-hooks.h)
- a generic header (include/linux/mm-arch-hooks.h)

The architecture which need to overwrite a hook as to redefine it in its
header file, while architecture which doesn't need have nothing to do.

The default hooks are defined in the generic header and are used in the
case the architecture is not defining it.

In a next step, mm hooks defined in include/asm-generic/mm_hooks.h should
be moved here.

2015-06-24T17:02:15+00:00

Pull arm64 updates from Catalin Marinas:
 "Mostly refactoring/clean-up:

   - CPU ops and PSCI (Power State Coordination Interface) refactoring
     following the merging of the arm64 ACPI support, together with
     handling of Trusted (secure) OS instances

   - Using fixmap for permanent FDT mapping, removing the initial dtb
     placement requirements (within 512MB from the start of the kernel
     image).  This required moving the FDT self reservation out of the
     memreserve processing

   - Idmap (1:1 mapping used for MMU on/off) handling clean-up

   - Removing flush_cache_all() - not safe on ARM unless the MMU is off.
     Last stages of CPU power down/up are handled by firmware already

   - "Alternatives" (run-time code patching) refactoring and support for
     immediate branch patching, GICv3 CPU interface access

   - User faults handling clean-up

  And some fixes:

   - Fix for VDSO building with broken ELF toolchains

   - Fix another case of init_mm.pgd usage for user mappings (during
     ASID roll-over broadcasting)

   - Fix for FPSIMD reloading after CPU hotplug

   - Fix for missing syscall trace exit

   - Workaround for .inst asm bug

   - Compat fix for switching the user tls tpidr_el0 register"
