<title>LoongArch: Fix missing dirty page tracking in {pte,pmd}_wrprotect()</title>

commit 018e9828eb523c638fa3d9bdf0fd4956b74555b2 upstream.

When hardware page table walker (PTW) is enabled on LoongArch, the CPU
may set _PAGE_DIRTY directly in the page table entry during a write TLB
miss, without going through the software TLB store handler. The software
TLB store handler (tlbex.S:254) sets both _PAGE_DIRTY and_PAGE_MODIFIED
together:

    ori t0, t0, (_PAGE_VALID | _PAGE_DIRTY | _PAGE_MODIFIED)

Since hardware PTW only sets _PAGE_DIRTY, the software-only bit, i.e.
_PAGE_MODIFIED is left unchanged. This creates a window where a PTE has
_PAGE_DIRTY set (hardware knows the page is dirty) but _PAGE_MODIFIED
clear (software is unaware).

When fork()/clone() triggers copy-on-write, __copy_present_ptes() calls
pte_wrprotect(), which unconditionally clears both the _PAGE_WRITE and
_PAGE_DIRTY bits:

    pte_val(pte) &amp;= ~(_PAGE_WRITE | _PAGE_DIRTY);

Since _PAGE_MODIFIED was never set, the dirtiness information is lost
completely. Subsequently, when memory pressure triggers page reclaim,
page_mkclean() / try_to_unmap() sees the page as clean (i.e. pte_dirty()
returns false) and the page may be freed without writeback, causing data
corruption.

Fix this by propagating the _PAGE_DIRTY bit to the _PAGE_MODIFIED bit in
both pte_wrprotect() and pmd_wrprotect() before clearing writeable bits:

    if (pte_val(pte) &amp; _PAGE_DIRTY)
        pte_val(pte) |= _PAGE_MODIFIED;

The pmd_wrprotect() fix handles the CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE case,
where pmd entries need the same treatment.

This ensures the software dirty tracking bit (checked by pte_dirty() and
pmd_dirty(), which read both the _PAGE_DIRTY and _PAGE_MODIFIED bits) is
preserved across fork COW write-protection.

The issue was found by the LTP madvise09 test case, which exercises page
reclaim after "madvise(MADV_FREE), write and fork" operation sequence on
private anonymous mappings.

[ Upstream commit c02be2ad2b88c67c5d7c06b6aa7083b5b40e1077 ]

The kernel allows arches to select between inline and outline
implementations of the copy_{from,to}_user() by defining individual
INLINE_COPY_FROM_USER and INLINE_COPY_TO_USER, correspondingly.  However,
all arches enable or disable them always together.

Without the real use-case for one helper being inlined while the other
outlined, having independent controls is excessive and error prone.

Switch the codebase to the single unified INLINE_COPY_USER control.

<title>LoongArch: Add PIO for early access before ACPI PCI root register</title>

commit 6061e65f95713b01f4313cda6637dfe3aa5412b4 upstream.

For ACPI system we suppose the ISA/LPC PIO range is registered together
with PCI root bridge. But the fact is there may be some early access to
the ISA/LPC PIO range before ACPI PCI root register (most of them are
due to abnormal BIOS). Unconditionally register the ISA/LPC PIO range
usually causes ACPI PCI root register fail because of the address range
confliction. So we add a pair of helpers: acpi_add_early_pio() to add
PIO for early access, and acpi_remove_early_pio() to remove PIO before
PCI root register. Since acpi_remove_early_pio() may be called multiple
times, we add an acpi_pio flag to ensure PIO be removed only once.

Introduce efi_get_kimg_kaslr_address() helper to compute the preferred
kernel image load address dynamically when CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_BASE is
enabled. The function derives a random offset by using the EFI-provided
randomness combined with the timer tick value, and constrains it within
CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_BASE_MAX_OFFSET.

Update EFI_KIMG_PREFERRED_ADDRESS to call this helper so that the EFI
stub can select a randomized load address when KASLR is active, while
preserving the original base address behavior when KASLR is disabled or
"nokaslr" is specified.

Note: LoongArch can't KASLR for hibernation, so set efi_nokaslr to true
if "resume=&lt;devname&gt;" is explicitly specified in cmdline.

On real hardware, panic and machine reboot may not flush hardware cache
to memory. This means the persistent ring buffer, which relies on a
coherent state of memory, may not have its events written to the buffer
and they may be lost. Moreover, there may be inconsistency with the
counters which are used for validation of the integrity of the
persistent ring buffer which may cause all data to be discarded.

To avoid this issue, stop recording of the ring buffer on panic and
flush the cache of the ring buffer's memory.

If we directly compile the switch.S file into the kernel, the address of
the kvm_exc_entry function will definitely be within the DMW memory area.
Therefore, we will no longer need to perform a copy relocation of the
kvm_exc_entry.

So this patch compiles switch.S directly into the kernel, and then remove
the copy relocation execution logic for the kvm_exc_entry function.

The custom definition is identical to the generic fallback one.

So remove it.
