commit a6e2f029ae34f41adb6ae3812c32c5d326e1abd2 upstream.

Added the x86 implementation of word-at-a-time to the
generic version, which previously only supported big-endian.

Omitted the x86-specific load_unaligned_zeropad(), which in
any case is also not present for the existing BE-only
implementation of a word-at-a-time, and is only used under
CONFIG_DCACHE_WORD_ACCESS.

Added as a "generic-y" to the Kbuilds of all architectures
that didn't previously have it.

[ Upstream commit fb7332a9fedfd62b1ba6530c86f39f0fa38afd49 ]

On architectures with hardware broadcasting of TLB invalidation messages
, it makes sense to reduce the range of the mmu_gather structure when
unmapping page ranges based on the dirty address information passed to
tlb_remove_tlb_entry.

arm64 already does this by directly manipulating the start/end fields
of the gather structure, but this confuses the generic code which
does not expect these fields to change and can end up calculating
invalid, negative ranges when forcing a flush in zap_pte_range.

This patch moves the minimal range calculation out of the arm64 code
and into the generic implementation, simplifying zap_pte_range in the
process (which no longer needs to care about start/end, since they will
point to the appropriate ranges already). With the range being tracked
by core code, the need_flush flag is dropped in favour of checking that
the end of the range has actually been set.

<title>vm: add VM_FAULT_SIGSEGV handling support</title>

<id>da7f8de9647a8401c36e0bff69dfa58b066a4c47</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 33692f27597fcab536d7cbbcc8f52905133e4aa7 upstream.

The core VM already knows about VM_FAULT_SIGBUS, but cannot return a
"you should SIGSEGV" error, because the SIGSEGV case was generally
handled by the caller - usually the architecture fault handler.

That results in lots of duplication - all the architecture fault
handlers end up doing very similar "look up vma, check permissions, do
retries etc" - but it generally works.  However, there are cases where
the VM actually wants to SIGSEGV, and applications _expect_ SIGSEGV.

In particular, when accessing the stack guard page, libsigsegv expects a
SIGSEGV.  And it usually got one, because the stack growth is handled by
that duplicated architecture fault handler.

However, when the generic VM layer started propagating the error return
from the stack expansion in commit fee7e49d4514 ("mm: propagate error
from stack expansion even for guard page"), that now exposed the
existing VM_FAULT_SIGBUS result to user space.  And user space really
expected SIGSEGV, not SIGBUS.

To fix that case, we need to add a VM_FAULT_SIGSEGV, and teach all those
duplicate architecture fault handlers about it.  They all already have
the code to handle SIGSEGV, so it's about just tying that new return
value to the existing code, but it's all a bit annoying.

This is the mindless minimal patch to do this.  A more extensive patch
would be to try to gather up the mostly shared fault handling logic into
one generic helper routine, and long-term we really should do that
cleanup.

Just from this patch, you can generally see that most architectures just
copied (directly or indirectly) the old x86 way of doing things, but in
the meantime that original x86 model has been improved to hold the VM
semaphore for shorter times etc and to handle VM_FAULT_RETRY and other
"newer" things, so it would be a good idea to bring all those
improvements to the generic case and teach other architectures about
them too.
