commit a4a118f2eead1d6c49e00765de89878288d4b890 upstream.

When __unmap_hugepage_range() calls to huge_pmd_unshare() succeed, a TLB
flush is missing.  This TLB flush must be performed before releasing the
i_mmap_rwsem, in order to prevent an unshared PMDs page from being
released and reused before the TLB flush took place.

Arguably, a comprehensive solution would use mmu_gather interface to
batch the TLB flushes and the PMDs page release, however it is not an
easy solution: (1) try_to_unmap_one() and try_to_migrate_one() also call
huge_pmd_unshare() and they cannot use the mmu_gather interface; and (2)
deferring the release of the page reference for the PMDs page until
after i_mmap_rwsem is dropeed can confuse huge_pmd_unshare() into
thinking PMDs are shared when they are not.

Fix __unmap_hugepage_range() by adding the missing TLB flush, and
forcing a flush when unshare is successful.

<title>ia64: fix user_stack_pointer() for ptrace()</title>

commit 7ad1e366167837daeb93d0bacb57dee820b0b898 upstream.

ia64 has two stacks:

 - memory stack (or stack), pointed at by by r12

 - register backing store (register stack), pointed at by
   ar.bsp/ar.bspstore with complications around dirty
   register frame on CPU.

In [1] Dmitry noticed that PTRACE_GET_SYSCALL_INFO returns the register
stack instead memory stack.

The bug comes from the fact that user_stack_pointer() and
current_user_stack_pointer() don't return the same register:

  ulong user_stack_pointer(struct pt_regs *regs) { return regs-&gt;ar_bspstore; }
  #define current_user_stack_pointer() (current_pt_regs()-&gt;r12)

The change gets both back in sync.

I think ptrace(PTRACE_GET_SYSCALL_INFO) is the only affected user by
this bug on ia64.

The change fixes 'rt_sigreturn.gen.test' strace test where it was
observed initially.

[ Upstream commit 61bf318eac2c13356f7bd1c6a05421ef504ccc8a ]

In https://bugs.gentoo.org/769614 Dmitry noticed that
`ptrace(PTRACE_GET_SYSCALL_INFO)` does not return error sign properly.

The bug is in mismatch between get/set errors:

static inline long syscall_get_error(struct task_struct *task,
                                     struct pt_regs *regs)
{
        return regs-&gt;r10 == -1 ? regs-&gt;r8:0;
}

static inline long syscall_get_return_value(struct task_struct *task,
                                            struct pt_regs *regs)
{
        return regs-&gt;r8;
}

static inline void syscall_set_return_value(struct task_struct *task,
                                            struct pt_regs *regs,
                                            int error, long val)
{
        if (error) {
                /* error &lt; 0, but ia64 uses &gt; 0 return value */
                regs-&gt;r8 = -error;
                regs-&gt;r10 = -1;
        } else {
                regs-&gt;r8 = val;
                regs-&gt;r10 = 0;
        }
}

Tested on v5.10 on rx3600 machine (ia64 9040 CPU).

<title>bug.h: work around GCC PR82365 in BUG()</title>

[ Upstream commit 173a3efd3edb2ef6ef07471397c5f542a360e9c1 ]

Looking at functions with large stack frames across all architectures
led me discovering that BUG() suffers from the same problem as
fortify_panic(), which I've added a workaround for already.

In short, variables that go out of scope by calling a noreturn function
or __builtin_unreachable() keep using stack space in functions
afterwards.

A workaround that was identified is to insert an empty assembler
statement just before calling the function that doesn't return.  I'm
adding a macro "barrier_before_unreachable()" to document this, and
insert calls to that in all instances of BUG() that currently suffer
from this problem.

The files that saw the largest change from this had these frame sizes
before, and much less with my patch:

  fs/ext4/inode.c:82:1: warning: the frame size of 1672 bytes is larger than 800 bytes [-Wframe-larger-than=]
  fs/ext4/namei.c:434:1: warning: the frame size of 904 bytes is larger than 800 bytes [-Wframe-larger-than=]

  drivers/net/xen-netback/netback.c:1500:1: warning: the frame size of 1088 bytes is larger than 800 bytes [-Wframe-larger-than=]

In case of ARC and CRIS, it turns out that the BUG() implementation
actually does return (or at least the compiler thinks it does),
resulting in lots of warnings about uninitialized variable use and
leaving noreturn functions, such as:

  block/cfq-iosched.c: In function 'cfq_async_queue_prio':
  block/cfq-iosched.c:3804:1: error: control reaches end of non-void function [-Werror=return-type]
  include/linux/dmaengine.h: In function 'dma_maxpq':
  include/linux/dmaengine.h:1123:1: error: control reaches end of non-void function [-Werror=return-type]

This makes them call __builtin_trap() instead, which should normally
dump the stack and kill the current process, like some of the other
architectures already do.

I tried adding barrier_before_unreachable() to panic() and
fortify_panic() as well, but that had very little effect, so I'm not
submitting that patch.

commit 30d6e0a4190d37740e9447e4e4815f06992dd8c3 upstream.

There is code duplicated over all architecture's headers for
futex_atomic_op_inuser. Namely op decoding, access_ok check for uaddr,
and comparison of the result.

Remove this duplication and leave up to the arches only the needed
assembly which is now in arch_futex_atomic_op_inuser.

This effectively distributes the Will Deacon's arm64 fix for undefined
behaviour reported by UBSAN to all architectures. The fix was done in
commit 5f16a046f8e1 (arm64: futex: Fix undefined behaviour with
FUTEX_OP_OPARG_SHIFT usage). Look there for an example dump.

And as suggested by Thomas, check for negative oparg too, because it was
also reported to cause undefined behaviour report.

Note that s390 removed access_ok check in d12a29703 ("s390/uaccess:
remove pointless access_ok() checks") as access_ok there returns true.
We introduce it back to the helper for the sake of simplicity (it gets
optimized away anyway).

commit b0f84ac352762ed02d7ea9f284942a8cab7f9077 upstream.

All architectures now need ioremap_uc(), ia64 seems defines this already
through its ioremap_nocache() and it already ensures it *only* uses UC.

This is needed since v4.3 to complete an allyesconfig compile on ia64,
there were others archs that needed this, and this one seems to have
fallen through the cracks.

Pull power management and ACPI updates from Rafael Wysocki:
 "Quite a new features are included this time.

  First off, the Collaborative Processor Performance Control interface
  (version 2) defined by ACPI will now be supported on ARM64 along with
  a cpufreq frontend for CPU performance scaling.

  Second, ACPI gets a new infrastructure for the early probing of IRQ
  chips and clock sources (along the lines of the existing similar
  mechanism for DT).

  Next, the ACPI core and the generic device properties API will now
  support a recently introduced hierarchical properties extension of the
  _DSD (Device Specific Data) ACPI device configuration object.  If the
  ACPI platform firmware uses that extension to organize device
  properties in a hierarchical way, the kernel will automatically handle
  it and make those properties available to device drivers via the
  generic device properties API.

  It also will be possible to build the ACPICA's AML interpreter
  debugger into the kernel now and use that to diagnose AML-related
  problems more efficiently.  In the future, this should make it
  possible to single-step AML execution and do similar things.
  Interesting stuff, although somewhat experimental at this point.

  Finally, the PM core gets a new mechanism that can be used by device
  drivers to distinguish between suspend-to-RAM (based on platform
  firmware support) and suspend-to-idle (or other variants of system
  suspend the platform firmware is not involved in) and possibly
  optimize their device suspend/resume handling accordingly.

  In addition to that, some existing features are re-organized quite
  substantially.

  First, the ACPI-based handling of PCI host bridges on x86 and ia64 is
  unified and the common code goes into the ACPI core (so as to reduce
  code duplication and eliminate non-essential differences between the
  two architectures in that area).

  Second, the Operating Performance Points (OPP) framework is
  reorganized to make the code easier to find and follow.

  Next, the cpufreq core's sysfs interface is reorganized to get rid of
  the "primary CPU" concept for configurations in which the same
  performance scaling settings are shared between multiple CPUs.

  Finally, some interfaces that aren't necessary any more are dropped
  from the generic power domains framework.

  On top of the above we have some minor extensions, cleanups and bug
  fixes in multiple places, as usual.

  Specifics:

   - ACPICA update to upstream revision 20150930 (Bob Moore, Lv Zheng).

     The most significant change is to allow the AML debugger to be
     built into the kernel.  On top of that there is an update related
     to the NFIT table (the ACPI persistent memory interface) and a few
     fixes and cleanups.

   - ACPI CPPC2 (Collaborative Processor Performance Control v2) support
     along with a cpufreq frontend (Ashwin Chaugule).

     This can only be enabled on ARM64 at this point.

   - New ACPI infrastructure for the early probing of IRQ chips and
     clock sources (Marc Zyngier).

   - Support for a new hierarchical properties extension of the ACPI
     _DSD (Device Specific Data) device configuration object allowing
     the kernel to handle hierarchical properties (provided by the
     platform firmware this way) automatically and make them available
     to device drivers via the generic device properties interface
     (Rafael Wysocki).

   - Generic device properties API extension to obtain an index of
     certain string value in an array of strings, along the lines of
     of_property_match_string(), but working for all of the supported
     firmware node types, and support for the "dma-names" device
     property based on it (Mika Westerberg).

   - ACPI core fix to parse the MADT (Multiple APIC Description Table)
     entries in the order expected by platform firmware (and mandated by
     the specification) to avoid confusion on systems with more than 255
     logical CPUs (Lukasz Anaczkowski).

   - Consolidation of the ACPI-based handling of PCI host bridges on x86
     and ia64 (Jiang Liu).

   - ACPI core fixes to ensure that the correct IRQ number is used to
     represent the SCI (System Control Interrupt) in the cases when it
     has been re-mapped (Chen Yu).

   - New ACPI backlight quirk for Lenovo IdeaPad S405 (Hans de Goede).

   - ACPI EC driver fixes (Lv Zheng).

   - Assorted ACPI fixes and cleanups (Dan Carpenter, Insu Yun, Jiri
     Kosina, Rami Rosen, Rasmus Villemoes).

   - New mechanism in the PM core allowing drivers to check if the
     platform firmware is going to be involved in the upcoming system
     suspend or if it has been involved in the suspend the system is
     resuming from at the moment (Rafael Wysocki).

     This should allow drivers to optimize their suspend/resume handling
     in some cases and the changes include a couple of users of it (the
     i8042 input driver, PCI PM).

   - PCI PM fix to prevent runtime-suspended devices with PME enabled
     from being resumed during system suspend even if they aren't
     configured to wake up the system from sleep (Rafael Wysocki).

   - New mechanism to report the number of a wakeup IRQ that woke up the
     system from sleep last time (Alexandra Yates).

   - Removal of unused interfaces from the generic power domains
     framework and fixes related to latency measurements in that code
     (Ulf Hansson, Daniel Lezcano).

   - cpufreq core sysfs interface rework to make it handle CPUs that
     share performance scaling settings (represented by a common cpufreq
     policy object) more symmetrically (Viresh Kumar).

     This should help to simplify the CPU offline/online handling among
     other things.

   - cpufreq core fixes and cleanups (Viresh Kumar).

   - intel_pstate fixes related to the Turbo Activation Ratio (TAR)
     mechanism on client platforms which causes the turbo P-states range
     to vary depending on platform firmware settings (Srinivas
     Pandruvada).

   - intel_pstate sysfs interface fix (Prarit Bhargava).

   - Assorted cpufreq driver (imx, tegra20, powernv, integrator) fixes
     and cleanups (Bai Ping, Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz, Shilpasri G
     Bhat, Luis de Bethencourt).

   - cpuidle mvebu driver cleanups (Russell King).

   - OPP (Operating Performance Points) framework code reorganization to
     make it more maintainable (Viresh Kumar).

   - Intel Broxton support for the RAPL (Running Average Power Limits)
     power capping driver (Amy Wiles).

   - Assorted power management code fixes and cleanups (Dan Carpenter,
     Geert Uytterhoeven, Geliang Tang, Luis de Bethencourt, Rasmus
     Villemoes)"

  chips and clock sources (along the lines of the existing similar
  mechanism for DT).

  Next, the ACPI core and the generic device properties API will now
  support a recently introduced hierarchical properties extension of the
  _DSD (Device Specific Data) ACPI device configuration object.  If the
  ACPI platform firmware uses that extension to organize device
  properties in a hierarchical way, the kernel will automatically handle
  it and make those properties available to device drivers via the
  generic device properties API.

  It also will be possible to build the ACPICA's AML interpreter
  debugger into the kernel now and use that to diagnose AML-related
  problems more efficiently.  In the future, this should make it
  possible to single-step AML execution and do similar things.
  Interesting stuff, although somewhat experimental at this point.

  Finally, the PM core gets a new mechanism that can be used by device
  drivers to distinguish between suspend-to-RAM (based on platform
  firmware support) and suspend-to-idle (or other variants of system
  suspend the platform firmware is not involved in) and possibly
  optimize their device suspend/resume handling accordingly.

  In addition to that, some existing features are re-organized quite
  substantially.

  First, the ACPI-based handling of PCI host bridges on x86 and ia64 is
  unified and the common code goes into the ACPI core (so as to reduce
  code duplication and eliminate non-essential differences between the
  two architectures in that area).

  Second, the Operating Performance Points (OPP) framework is
  reorganized to make the code easier to find and follow.

  Next, the cpufreq core's sysfs interface is reorganized to get rid of
  the "primary CPU" concept for configurations in which the same
  performance scaling settings are shared between multiple CPUs.

  Finally, some interfaces that aren't necessary any more are dropped
  from the generic power domains framework.

  On top of the above we have some minor extensions, cleanups and bug
  fixes in multiple places, as usual.

  Specifics:

   - ACPICA update to upstream revision 20150930 (Bob Moore, Lv Zheng).

     The most significant change is to allow the AML debugger to be
     built into the kernel.  On top of that there is an update related
     to the NFIT table (the ACPI persistent memory interface) and a few
     fixes and cleanups.

   - ACPI CPPC2 (Collaborative Processor Performance Control v2) support
     along with a cpufreq frontend (Ashwin Chaugule).

     This can only be enabled on ARM64 at this point.

   - New ACPI infrastructure for the early probing of IRQ chips and
     clock sources (Marc Zyngier).

   - Support for a new hierarchical properties extension of the ACPI
     _DSD (Device Specific Data) device configuration object allowing
     the kernel to handle hierarchical properties (provided by the
     platform firmware this way) automatically and make them available
     to device drivers via the generic device properties interface
     (Rafael Wysocki).

   - Generic device properties API extension to obtain an index of
     certain string value in an array of strings, along the lines of
     of_property_match_string(), but working for all of the supported
     firmware node types, and support for the "dma-names" device
     property based on it (Mika Westerberg).

   - ACPI core fix to parse the MADT (Multiple APIC Description Table)
     entries in the order expected by platform firmware (and mandated by
     the specification) to avoid confusion on systems with more than 255
     logical CPUs (Lukasz Anaczkowski).

   - Consolidation of the ACPI-based handling of PCI host bridges on x86
     and ia64 (Jiang Liu).

   - ACPI core fixes to ensure that the correct IRQ number is used to
     represent the SCI (System Control Interrupt) in the cases when it
     has been re-mapped (Chen Yu).

   - New ACPI backlight quirk for Lenovo IdeaPad S405 (Hans de Goede).

   - ACPI EC driver fixes (Lv Zheng).

   - Assorted ACPI fixes and cleanups (Dan Carpenter, Insu Yun, Jiri
     Kosina, Rami Rosen, Rasmus Villemoes).

   - New mechanism in the PM core allowing drivers to check if the
     platform firmware is going to be involved in the upcoming system
     suspend or if it has been involved in the suspend the system is
     resuming from at the moment (Rafael Wysocki).

     This should allow drivers to optimize their suspend/resume handling
     in some cases and the changes include a couple of users of it (the
     i8042 input driver, PCI PM).

   - PCI PM fix to prevent runtime-suspended devices with PME enabled
     from being resumed during system suspend even if they aren't
     configured to wake up the system from sleep (Rafael Wysocki).

   - New mechanism to report the number of a wakeup IRQ that woke up the
     system from sleep last time (Alexandra Yates).

   - Removal of unused interfaces from the generic power domains
     framework and fixes related to latency measurements in that code
     (Ulf Hansson, Daniel Lezcano).

   - cpufreq core sysfs interface rework to make it handle CPUs that
     share performance scaling settings (represented by a common cpufreq
     policy object) more symmetrically (Viresh Kumar).

     This should help to simplify the CPU offline/online handling among
     other things.

   - cpufreq core fixes and cleanups (Viresh Kumar).

   - intel_pstate fixes related to the Turbo Activation Ratio (TAR)
     mechanism on client platforms which causes the turbo P-states range
     to vary depending on platform firmware settings (Srinivas
     Pandruvada).

   - intel_pstate sysfs interface fix (Prarit Bhargava).

   - Assorted cpufreq driver (imx, tegra20, powernv, integrator) fixes
     and cleanups (Bai Ping, Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz, Shilpasri G
     Bhat, Luis de Bethencourt).

   - cpuidle mvebu driver cleanups (Russell King).

   - OPP (Operating Performance Points) framework code reorganization to
     make it more maintainable (Viresh Kumar).

   - Intel Broxton support for the RAPL (Running Average Power Limits)
     power capping driver (Amy Wiles).

   - Assorted power management code fixes and cleanups (Dan Carpenter,
     Geert Uytterhoeven, Geliang Tang, Luis de Bethencourt, Rasmus
     Villemoes)"
