commit b4ff8389ed14b849354b59ce9b360bdefcdbf99c upstream.

After commit 8c058b0b9c34 ("x86/irq: Probe for PIC presence before
allocating descs for legacy IRQs") early_irq_init() will no longer
preallocate descriptors for legacy interrupts if PIC does not
exist, which is the case for Xen PV guests.

Therefore we may need to allocate those descriptors ourselves.

commit cb083816ab5ac3d10a9417527f07fc5962cc3808 upstream.

A kernel built with DEBUG_RO_DATA &amp;&amp; !CONFIG_DEBUG_ALIGN_RODATA doesn't
have .text aligned to a page boundary, though fixup_executable works at
page-granularity thanks to its use of create_mapping. If .text is not
page-aligned, the first page it exists in may be marked non-executable,
leading to failures when an attempt is made to execute code in said
page.

This patch upgrades ALIGN_DEBUG_RO and ALIGN_DEBUG_RO_MIN to force page
alignment for DEBUG_RO_DATA &amp;&amp; !CONFIG_DEBUG_ALIGN_RODATA kernels,
ensuring that all sections with specific RWX permission requirements are
mapped with the correct permissions.

commit 5accd17d0eb523350c9ef754d655e379c9bb93b3 upstream.

For reasons not entirely apparent, but now enshrined in history, the
architectural mapping of AArch32 banked registers to AArch64 registers
actually orders SP_&lt;mode&gt; and LR_&lt;mode&gt; backwards compared to the
intuitive r13/r14 order, for all modes except FIQ.

Fix the compat_&lt;reg&gt;_&lt;mode&gt; macros accordingly, in the hope of avoiding
subtle bugs with KVM and AArch32 guests.

commit 589cb22bbedacf325951014c07a35a2b01ca57f6 upstream.

If the STXR instruction fails in the SWP emulation code, we leave *data
overwritten with the loaded value, therefore corrupting the data written
by a subsequent, successful attempt.

This patch re-jigs the code so that we only write back to *data once we
know that the update has happened.

<title>arm64: kernel: fix tcr_el1.t0sz restore on systems with extended idmap</title>

commit e13d918a19a7b6cba62b32884f5e336e764c2cc6 upstream.

Commit dd006da21646 ("arm64: mm: increase VA range of identity map")
introduced a mechanism to extend the virtual memory map range
to support arm64 systems with system RAM located at very high offset,
where the identity mapping used to enable/disable the MMU requires
additional translation levels to map the physical memory at an equal
virtual offset.

The kernel detects at boot time the tcr_el1.t0sz value required by the
identity mapping and sets-up the tcr_el1.t0sz register field accordingly,
any time the identity map is required in the kernel (ie when enabling the
MMU).

After enabling the MMU, in the cold boot path the kernel resets the
tcr_el1.t0sz to its default value (ie the actual configuration value for
the system virtual address space) so that after enabling the MMU the
memory space translated by ttbr0_el1 is restored as expected.

Commit dd006da21646 ("arm64: mm: increase VA range of identity map")
also added code to set-up the tcr_el1.t0sz value when the kernel resumes
from low-power states with the MMU off through cpu_resume() in order to
effectively use the identity mapping to enable the MMU but failed to add
the code required to restore the tcr_el1.t0sz to its default value, when
the core returns to the kernel with the MMU enabled, so that the kernel
might end up running with tcr_el1.t0sz value set-up for the identity
mapping which can be lower than the value required by the actual virtual
address space, resulting in an erroneous set-up.

This patchs adds code in the resume path that restores the tcr_el1.t0sz
default value upon core resume, mirroring this way the cold boot path
behaviour therefore fixing the issue.

commit 9702970c7bd3e2d6fecb642a190269131d4ac16c upstream.

This reverts commit e306dfd06fcb44d21c80acb8e5a88d55f3d1cf63.

With this patch applied, we were the only architecture making this sort
of adjustment to the PC calculation in the unwinder. This causes
problems for ftrace, where the PC values are matched against the
contents of the stack frames in the callchain and fail to match any
records after the address adjustment.

Whilst there has been some effort to change ftrace to workaround this,
those patches are not yet ready for mainline and, since we're the odd
architecture in this regard, let's just step in line with other
architectures (like arch/arm/) for now.

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.

commit b6dd8e0719c0d2d01429639a11b7bc2677de240c upstream.

Commit df057cc7b4fa ("arm64: errata: add module build workaround for
erratum #843419") sets CFLAGS_MODULE to ensure that the large memory
model is used by the compiler when building kernel modules.

However, CFLAGS_MODULE is an environment variable and intended to be
overridden on the command line, which appears to be the case with the
Ubuntu kernel packaging system, so use KBUILD_CFLAGS_MODULE instead.

commit b6dd8e0719c0d2d01429639a11b7bc2677de240c upstream.

Commit df057cc7b4fa ("arm64: errata: add module build workaround for
erratum #843419") sets CFLAGS_MODULE to ensure that the large memory
model is used by the compiler when building kernel modules.

However, CFLAGS_MODULE is an environment variable and intended to be
overridden on the command line, which appears to be the case with the
Ubuntu kernel packaging system, so use KBUILD_CFLAGS_MODULE instead.

<title>arm64: readahead: fault retry breaks mmap file read random detection</title>

commit 569ba74a7ba69f46ce2950bf085b37fea2408385 upstream.

This is the arm64 portion of commit 45cac65b0fcd ("readahead: fault
retry breaks mmap file read random detection"), which was absent from
the initial port and has since gone unnoticed. The original commit says:

&gt; .fault now can retry.  The retry can break state machine of .fault.  In
&gt; filemap_fault, if page is miss, ra-&gt;mmap_miss is increased.  In the second
&gt; try, since the page is in page cache now, ra-&gt;mmap_miss is decreased.  And
&gt; these are done in one fault, so we can't detect random mmap file access.
&gt;
&gt; Add a new flag to indicate .fault is tried once.  In the second try, skip
&gt; ra-&gt;mmap_miss decreasing.  The filemap_fault state machine is ok with it.

With this change, Mark reports that:

&gt; Random read improves by 250%, sequential read improves by 40%, and
&gt; random write by 400% to an eMMC device with dm crypto wrapped around it.

commit ee556d00cf20012e889344a0adbbf809ab5015a3 upstream.

When function graph tracer is enabled, the following operation
will trigger panic:

mount -t debugfs nodev /sys/kernel
echo next_tgid &gt; /sys/kernel/tracing/set_ftrace_filter
echo function_graph &gt; /sys/kernel/tracing/current_tracer
ls /proc/

This is because when using function graph tracer, if the traced
function return value is in multi regs ([x0-x7]), return_to_handler
may corrupt them. So in return_to_handler, the parameter regs should
be protected properly.
