[ Upstream commit 8a20030038742b9915c6d811a4e6c14b126cafb4 ]

Sparse reports

    net/ipv4/inet_diag.c:1511:17: sparse: sparse: Using plain integer as NULL pointer

Due to this code calling cmpxchg on a non-integer type
struct inet_diag_handler *

    return !cmpxchg((const struct inet_diag_handler**)&amp;inet_diag_table[type],
                    NULL, h) ? 0 : -EEXIST;

While hexagon's cmpxchg assigns an integer value to a variable of this
type.

    __typeof__(*(ptr)) __oldval = 0;

Update this assignment to cast 0 to the correct type.

The original issue is easily reproduced at head with the below block,
and is absent after this change.

    make LLVM=1 ARCH=hexagon defconfig
    make C=1 LLVM=1 ARCH=hexagon net/ipv4/inet_diag.o

commit 896842284c6ccba25ec9d78b7b6e62cdd507c083 upstream.

fadvise64_64() has two 64-bit arguments at the wrong alignment
for hexagon, which turns them into a 7-argument syscall that is
not supported by Linux.

The downstream musl port for hexagon actually asks for a 6-argument
version the same way we do it on arm, csky, powerpc, so make the
kernel do it the same way to avoid having to change both.

commit 3339b99ef6fe38dac43b534cba3a8a0e29fb2eff upstream.

Both of these architectures require u64 function arguments to be
passed in even/odd pairs of registers or stack slots, which in case of
sync_file_range would result in a seven-argument system call that is
not currently possible. The system call is therefore incompatible with
all existing binaries.

While it would be possible to implement support for seven arguments
like on mips, it seems better to use a six-argument version, either
with the normal argument order but misaligned as on most architectures
or with the reordered sync_file_range2() calling conventions as on
arm and powerpc.

<title>mm: treewide: clarify pgtable_page_{ctor,dtor}() naming</title>

<id>b4ed71f557e458257e0f71b11969954acb389240</id>
<content type='text'>
The naming of pgtable_page_{ctor,dtor}() seems to have confused a few
people, and until recently arm64 used these erroneously/pointlessly for
other levels of page table.

To make it incredibly clear that these only apply to the PTE level, and to
align with the naming of pgtable_pmd_page_{ctor,dtor}(), let's rename them
to pgtable_pte_page_{ctor,dtor}().

These changes were generated with the following shell script:

----
git grep -lw 'pgtable_page_.tor' | while read FILE; do
    sed -i '{s/pgtable_page_ctor/pgtable_pte_page_ctor/}' $FILE;
    sed -i '{s/pgtable_page_dtor/pgtable_pte_page_dtor/}' $FILE;
done
----

... with the documentation re-flowed to remain under 80 columns, and
whitespace fixed up in macros to keep backslashes aligned.

There should be no functional change as a result of this patch.

Both pgtable_cache_init() and pgd_cache_init() are used to initialize kmem
cache for page table allocations on several architectures that do not use
PAGE_SIZE tables for one or more levels of the page table hierarchy.

Most architectures do not implement these functions and use __weak default
NOP implementation of pgd_cache_init().  Since there is no such default
for pgtable_cache_init(), its empty stub is duplicated among most
architectures.

Rename the definitions of pgd_cache_init() to pgtable_cache_init() and
drop empty stubs of pgtable_cache_init().

Patch series "mm: remove quicklist page table caches".

A while ago Nicholas proposed to remove quicklist page table caches [1].

I've rebased his patch on the curren upstream and switched ia64 and sh to
use generic versions of PTE allocation.

[1] https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20190711030339.20892-1-npiggin@gmail.com

This patch (of 3):

Remove page table allocator "quicklists".  These have been around for a
long time, but have not got much traction in the last decade and are only
used on ia64 and sh architectures.

The numbers in the initial commit look interesting but probably don't
apply anymore.  If anybody wants to resurrect this it's in the git
history, but it's unhelpful to have this code and divergent allocator
behaviour for minor archs.

Also it might be better to instead make more general improvements to page
allocator if this is still so slow.

The hexagon implementation pte_alloc_one(), pte_alloc_one_kernel(),
pte_free_kernel() and pte_free() is identical to the generic except of
lack of __GFP_ACCOUNT for the user PTEs allocation.

Switch hexagon to use generic version of these functions.
