While a barrier is present in the writeX() functions before the register
write, a similar barrier is missing in the readX() functions after the
register read. This could allow memory accesses following readX() to
observe stale data.

writeX() has strong ordering semantics with respect to memory updates.
In the absence of a write barrier or a compiler barrier, the compiler
can reorder register and memory update instructions. This breaks the
writeX() API.

<title>mm: introduce MAP_FIXED_NOREPLACE</title>

<content type='text'>
Patch series "mm: introduce MAP_FIXED_NOREPLACE", v2.

This has started as a follow up discussion [3][4] resulting in the
runtime failure caused by hardening patch [5] which removes MAP_FIXED
from the elf loader because MAP_FIXED is inherently dangerous as it
might silently clobber an existing underlying mapping (e.g.  stack).
The reason for the failure is that some architectures enforce an
alignment for the given address hint without MAP_FIXED used (e.g.  for
shared or file backed mappings).

One way around this would be excluding those archs which do alignment
tricks from the hardening [6].  The patch is really trivial but it has
been objected, rightfully so, that this screams for a more generic
solution.  We basically want a non-destructive MAP_FIXED.

The first patch introduced MAP_FIXED_NOREPLACE which enforces the given
address but unlike MAP_FIXED it fails with EEXIST if the given range
conflicts with an existing one.  The flag is introduced as a completely
new one rather than a MAP_FIXED extension because of the backward
compatibility.  We really want a never-clobber semantic even on older
kernels which do not recognize the flag.  Unfortunately mmap sucks
wrt flags evaluation because we do not EINVAL on unknown flags.  On
those kernels we would simply use the traditional hint based semantic so
the caller can still get a different address (which sucks) but at least
not silently corrupt an existing mapping.  I do not see a good way
around that.  Except we won't export expose the new semantic to the
userspace at all.

It seems there are users who would like to have something like that.
Jemalloc has been mentioned by Michael Ellerman [7]

Florian Weimer has mentioned the following:
: glibc ld.so currently maps DSOs without hints.  This means that the kernel
: will map right next to each other, and the offsets between them a completely
: predictable.  We would like to change that and supply a random address in a
: window of the address space.  If there is a conflict, we do not want the
: kernel to pick a non-random address. Instead, we would try again with a
: random address.

John Hubbard has mentioned CUDA example
: a) Searches /proc/&lt;pid&gt;/maps for a "suitable" region of available
: VA space.  "Suitable" generally means it has to have a base address
: within a certain limited range (a particular device model might
: have odd limitations, for example), it has to be large enough, and
: alignment has to be large enough (again, various devices may have
: constraints that lead us to do this).
:
: This is of course subject to races with other threads in the process.
:
: Let's say it finds a region starting at va.
:
: b) Next it does:
:     p = mmap(va, ...)
:
: *without* setting MAP_FIXED, of course (so va is just a hint), to
: attempt to safely reserve that region. If p != va, then in most cases,
: this is a failure (almost certainly due to another thread getting a
: mapping from that region before we did), and so this layer now has to
: call munmap(), before returning a "failure: retry" to upper layers.
:
:     IMPROVEMENT: --&gt; if instead, we could call this:
:
:             p = mmap(va, ... MAP_FIXED_NOREPLACE ...)
:
:         , then we could skip the munmap() call upon failure. This
:         is a small thing, but it is useful here. (Thanks to Piotr
:         Jaroszynski and Mark Hairgrove for helping me get that detail
:         exactly right, btw.)
:
: c) After that, CUDA suballocates from p, via:
:
:      q = mmap(sub_region_start, ... MAP_FIXED ...)
:
: Interestingly enough, "freeing" is also done via MAP_FIXED, and
: setting PROT_NONE to the subregion. Anyway, I just included (c) for
: general interest.

Atomic address range probing in the multithreaded programs in general
sounds like an interesting thing to me.

The second patch simply replaces MAP_FIXED use in elf loader by
MAP_FIXED_NOREPLACE.  I believe other places which rely on MAP_FIXED
should follow.  Actually real MAP_FIXED usages should be docummented
properly and they should be more of an exception.

This patch (of 2):

MAP_FIXED is used quite often to enforce mapping at the particular range.
The main problem of this flag is, however, that it is inherently dangerous
because it unmaps existing mappings covered by the requested range.  This
can cause silent memory corruptions.  Some of them even with serious
security implications.  While the current semantic might be really
desiderable in many cases there are others which would want to enforce the
given range but rather see a failure than a silent memory corruption on a
clashing range.  Please note that there is no guarantee that a given range
is obeyed by the mmap even when it is free - e.g.  arch specific code is
allowed to apply an alignment.

Introduce a new MAP_FIXED_NOREPLACE flag for mmap to achieve this
behavior.  It has the same semantic as MAP_FIXED wrt.  the given address
request with a single exception that it fails with EEXIST if the requested
address is already covered by an existing mapping.  We still do rely on
get_unmaped_area to handle all the arch specific MAP_FIXED treatment and
check for a conflicting vma after it returns.

The flag is introduced as a completely new one rather than a MAP_FIXED
extension because of the backward compatibility.  We really want a
never-clobber semantic even on older kernels which do not recognize the
flag.  Unfortunately mmap sucks wrt.  flags evaluation because we do not
EINVAL on unknown flags.  On those kernels we would simply use the
traditional hint based semantic so the caller can still get a different
address (which sucks) but at least not silently corrupt an existing
mapping.  I do not see a good way around that.

Pull MIPS updates from James Hogan:
 "These are the main MIPS changes for 4.17. Rough overview:

   (1) generic platform: Add support for Microsemi Ocelot SoCs

   (2) crypto: Add CRC32 and CRC32C HW acceleration module

   (3) Various cleanups and misc improvements

  More detailed summary:

  Miscellaneous:
   - hang more efficiently on halt/powerdown/restart
   - pm-cps: Block system suspend when a JTAG probe is present
   - expand make help text for generic defconfigs
   - refactor handling of legacy defconfigs
   - determine the entry point from the ELF file header to fix microMIPS
     for certain toolchains
   - introduce isa-rev.h for MIPS_ISA_REV and use to simplify other code

  Minor cleanups:
   - DTS: boston/ci20: Unit name cleanups and correction
   - kdump: Make the default for PHYSICAL_START always 64-bit
   - constify gpio_led in Alchemy, AR7, and TXX9
   - silence a couple of W=1 warnings
   - remove duplicate includes

  Platform support:
  Generic platform:
   - add support for Microsemi Ocelot
   - dt-bindings: Add vendor prefix for Microsemi Corporation
   - dt-bindings: Add bindings for Microsemi SoCs
   - add ocelot SoC &amp; PCB123 board DTS files
   - MAINTAINERS: Add entry for Microsemi MIPS SoCs
   - enable crc32-mips on r6 configs

  ath79:
   - fix AR724X_PLL_REG_PCIE_CONFIG offset

  BCM47xx:
   - firmware: Use mac_pton() for MAC address parsing
   - add Luxul XAP1500/XWR1750 WiFi LEDs
   - use standard reset button for Luxul XWR-1750

  BMIPS:
   - enable CONFIG_BRCMSTB_PM in bmips_stb_defconfig for build coverage
   - add STB PM, wake-up timer, watchdog DT nodes

  Octeon:
   - drop '.' after newlines in printk calls

<title>dma/direct: Handle the memory encryption bit in common code</title>

<id>b6e05477c10c12e36141558fc14f04b00ea634d4</id>
<content type='text'>
Give the basic phys_to_dma() and dma_to_phys() helpers a __-prefix and add
the memory encryption mask to the non-prefixed versions.  Use the
__-prefixed versions directly instead of clearing the mask again in
various places.

<title>MIPS: ath79: Fix AR724X_PLL_REG_PCIE_CONFIG offset</title>

<id>05454c1bde91fb013c0431801001da82947e6b5a</id>
<content type='text'>
According to the QCA u-boot source the "PCIE Phase Lock Loop
Configuration (PCIE_PLL_CONFIG)" register is for all SoCs except the
QCA955X and QCA956X at offset 0x10.

Since the PCIE PLL config register is only defined for the AR724x fix
only this value. The value is wrong since the day it was added and isn't
used by any driver yet.
