nios2: ensure that memblock.current_limit is set when setting pfn limits

2025-10-29T13:06:59+00:00

[ Upstream commit a20b83cf45be2057f3d073506779e52c7fa17f94 ]

On nios2, with CONFIG_FLATMEM set, the kernel relies on
memblock_get_current_limit() to determine the limits of mem_map, in
particular for max_low_pfn.
Unfortunately, memblock.current_limit is only default initialized to
MEMBLOCK_ALLOC_ANYWHERE at this point of the bootup, potentially leading
to situations where max_low_pfn can erroneously exceed the value of
max_pfn and, thus, the valid range of available DRAM.

This can in turn cause kernel-level paging failures, e.g.:

[   76.900000] Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 20303000
[   76.900000] ea = c0080890, ra = c000462c, cause = 14
[   76.900000] Kernel panic - not syncing: Oops
[   76.900000] ---[ end Kernel panic - not syncing: Oops ]---

This patch fixes this by pre-calculating memblock.current_limit
based on the upper limits of the available memory ranges via
adjust_lowmem_bounds, a simplified version of the equivalent
implementation within the arm architecture.

nios2: Replace all non-returning strlcpy with strscpy

2023-06-13T21:51:49+00:00

strlcpy() reads the entire source buffer first.
This read may exceed the destination size limit.
This is both inefficient and can lead to linear read
overflows if a source string is not NUL-terminated [1].
In an effort to remove strlcpy() completely [2], replace
strlcpy() here with strscpy().
No return values were used, so direct replacement is safe.

NIOS2: setup.c: drop unused variable 'dram_start'

2021-09-27T13:34:54+00:00

This is a nuisance when CONFIG_WERROR is set, so drop the variable
declaration since the code that used it was removed.

../arch/nios2/kernel/setup.c: In function 'setup_arch':
../arch/nios2/kernel/setup.c:152:13: warning: unused variable 'dram_start' [-Wunused-variable]

nios2: Don't use _end for calculating min_low_pfn

2021-02-19T07:02:09+00:00

If there is a initramfs linked into the kernel which will be
freed later on there is free memory somewhere between _etext
and _end, thus using _end for min_low_pfn is not correct.
This may lead to issues in dma_capable when checking
'min(addr, end) < phys_to_dma(dev, PFN_PHYS(min_low_pfn)))'
as the address addr might be below min_low_pfn. Picked
find_limits from architecture arm for applying min_low_pfn and
max_low_pfn. Maybe using _etext for min_low_pfn would be
fine too.

nios2: force the string buffer NULL-terminated

2019-09-20T06:55:57+00:00

strncpy() does not ensure NULL-termination when the input string
size equals to the destination buffer size COMMAND_LINE_SIZE.
Besides, grep under arch/ with 'boot_command_line' shows
no other arch-specific code uses strncpy() when copying
boot_command_line.

Use strlcpy() instead.

This issue is identified by a Coccinelle script.

mm: remove include/linux/bootmem.h

2018-10-31T15:54:16+00:00

Move remaining definitions and declarations from include/linux/bootmem.h
into include/linux/memblock.h and remove the redundant header.

The includes were replaced with the semantic patch below and then
semi-automated removal of duplicated '#include
