commit 6c38e3005621800263f117fb00d6787a76e16de7 upstream

check_bugs() is about to be phased out. Switch over to the new
arch_cpu_finalize_init() implementation.

No functional change.

commit e5a16a5c4602c119262f350274021f90465f479d upstream.

test_bit(), as any other bitmap op, takes `unsigned long *` as a
second argument (pointer to the actual bitmap), as any bitmap
itself is an array of unsigned longs. However, the ia64_get_irr()
code passes a ref to `u64` as a second argument.
This works with the ia64 bitops implementation due to that they
have `void *` as the second argument and then cast it later on.
This works with the bitmap API itself due to that `unsigned long`
has the same size on ia64 as `u64` (`unsigned long long`), but
from the compiler PoV those two are different.
Define @irr as `unsigned long` to fix that. That implies no
functional changes. Has been hidden for 16 years!

commit 57c0900b91d8891ab43f0e6b464d059fda51d102 upstream.

Itanium defines a get_cycles() function, but it does not do the usual
`#define get_cycles get_cycles` dance, making it impossible for generic
code to see if an arch-specific function was defined. While the
get_cycles() ifdef is not currently used, the following timekeeping
patch in this series will depend on the macro existing (or not existing)
when defining random_get_entropy().

[ Upstream commit 99e729bd40fb3272fa4b0140839d5e957b58588a ]

Noticed failure as a crash on ia64 when tried to symbolize all backtraces
collected by page_owner=on:

    $ cat /sys/kernel/debug/page_owner
    &lt;oops&gt;

    CPU: 1 PID: 2074 Comm: cat Not tainted 5.12.0-rc4 #226
    Hardware name: hp server rx3600, BIOS 04.03 04/08/2008
    ip is at dereference_module_function_descriptor+0x41/0x100

Crash happens at dereference_module_function_descriptor() due to
use-after-free when dereferencing ".opd" section header.

All section headers are already freed after module is laoded successfully.

To keep symbolizer working the change stores ".opd" address and size after
module is relocated to a new place and before section headers are
discarded.

To make similar errors less obscure module_finalize() now zeroes out all
variables relevant to module loading only.

<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.

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_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;r10 = 0;
        }
}

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

<title>mm: consolidate pgtable_cache_init() and pgd_cache_init()</title>

<content type='text'>
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().

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().

The ia64 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 ia64 to use generic version of these functions.

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.
