commit 5d698966fa7b452035c44c937d704910bf3440dd upstream.

When userspace allocates memory with mmap() in order to be used for stack,
allow this memory region to automatically expand upwards up until the
current maximum process stack size.
The fault handler checks if the VM_GROWSUP bit is set in the vm_flags field
of a memory area before it allows it to expand.
This patch modifies the parisc specific code only.
A RFC for a generic patch to modify mmap() for all architectures was sent
to the mailing list but did not get enough Acks.

commit 7ae04ba36b381bffe2471eff3a93edced843240f upstream.

ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN was defined as 16 - this is too small - it may be
possible that two unrelated 16-byte allocations share a cache line. If
one of these allocations is written using DMA and the other is written
using cached write, the value that was written with DMA may be
corrupted.

This commit changes ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN to be 128 on PA20 and 32 on PA1.1 -
that's the largest possible cache line size.

As different parisc microarchitectures have different cache line size, we
define arch_slab_minalign(), cache_line_size() and
dma_get_cache_alignment() so that the kernel may tune slab cache
parameters dynamically, based on the detected cache line size.

<title>parisc: Try to fix random segmentation faults in package builds</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.tavy.me/linux-stable.git/commit/?id=72d95924ee35c8cd16ef52f912483ee938a34d49'/>
<id>72d95924ee35c8cd16ef52f912483ee938a34d49</id>
<content type='text'>
PA-RISC systems with PA8800 and PA8900 processors have had problems
with random segmentation faults for many years.  Systems with earlier
processors are much more stable.

Systems with PA8800 and PA8900 processors have a large L2 cache which
needs per page flushing for decent performance when a large range is
flushed. The combined cache in these systems is also more sensitive to
non-equivalent aliases than the caches in earlier systems.

The majority of random segmentation faults that I have looked at
appear to be memory corruption in memory allocated using mmap and
malloc.

My first attempt at fixing the random faults didn't work. On
reviewing the cache code, I realized that there were two issues
which the existing code didn't handle correctly. Both relate
to cache move-in. Another issue is that the present bit in PTEs
is racy.

1) PA-RISC caches have a mind of their own and they can speculatively
load data and instructions for a page as long as there is a entry in
the TLB for the page which allows move-in. TLBs are local to each
CPU. Thus, the TLB entry for a page must be purged before flushing
the page. This is particularly important on SMP systems.

In some of the flush routines, the flush routine would be called
and then the TLB entry would be purged. This was because the flush
routine needed the TLB entry to do the flush.

2) My initial approach to trying the fix the random faults was to
try and use flush_cache_page_if_present for all flush operations.
This actually made things worse and led to a couple of hardware
lockups. It finally dawned on me that some lines weren't being
flushed because the pte check code was racy. This resulted in
random inequivalent mappings to physical pages.

The __flush_cache_page tmpalias flush sets up its own TLB entry
and it doesn't need the existing TLB entry. As long as we can find
the pte pointer for the vm page, we can get the pfn and physical
address of the page. We can also purge the TLB entry for the page
before doing the flush. Further, __flush_cache_page uses a special
TLB entry that inhibits cache move-in.

When switching page mappings, we need to ensure that lines are
removed from the cache.  It is not sufficient to just flush the
lines to memory as they may come back.

This made it clear that we needed to implement all the required
flush operations using tmpalias routines. This includes flushes
for user and kernel pages.

After modifying the code to use tmpalias flushes, it became clear
that the random segmentation faults were not fully resolved. The
frequency of faults was worse on systems with a 64 MB L2 (PA8900)
and systems with more CPUs (rp4440).

The warning that I added to flush_cache_page_if_present to detect
pages that couldn't be flushed triggered frequently on some systems.

Helge and I looked at the pages that couldn't be flushed and found
that the PTE was either cleared or for a swap page. Ignoring pages
that were swapped out seemed okay but pages with cleared PTEs seemed
problematic.

I looked at routines related to pte_clear and noticed ptep_clear_flush.
The default implementation just flushes the TLB entry. However, it was
obvious that on parisc we need to flush the cache page as well. If
we don't flush the cache page, stale lines will be left in the cache
and cause random corruption. Once a PTE is cleared, there is no way
to find the physical address associated with the PTE and flush the
associated page at a later time.

I implemented an updated change with a parisc specific version of
ptep_clear_flush. It fixed the random data corruption on Helge's rp4440
and rp3440, as well as on my c8000.

At this point, I realized that I could restore the code where we only
flush in flush_cache_page_if_present if the page has been accessed.
However, for this, we also need to flush the cache when the accessed
bit is cleared in ptep_clear_flush_young to keep things synchronized.
The default implementation only flushes the TLB entry.

Other changes in this version are:

1) Implement parisc specific version of ptep_get. It's identical to
default but needed in arch/parisc/include/asm/pgtable.h.
2) Revise parisc implementation of ptep_test_and_clear_young to use
ptep_get (READ_ONCE).
3) Drop parisc implementation of ptep_get_and_clear. We can use default.
4) Revise flush_kernel_vmap_range and invalidate_kernel_vmap_range to
use full data cache flush.
5) Move flush_cache_vmap and flush_cache_vunmap to cache.c. Handle
VM_IOREMAP case in flush_cache_vmap.

At this time, I don't know whether it is better to always flush when
the PTE present bit is set or when both the accessed and present bits
are set. The later saves flushing pages that haven't been accessed,
but we need to flush in ptep_clear_flush_young. It also needs a page
table lookup to find the PTE pointer. The lpa instruction only needs
a page table lookup when the PTE entry isn't in the TLB.

We don't atomically handle setting and clearing the _PAGE_ACCESSED bit.
If we miss an update, we may miss a flush and the cache may get corrupted.
Whether the current code is effectively atomic depends on process control.

When CONFIG_FLUSH_PAGE_ACCESSED is set to zero, the page will eventually
be flushed when the PTE is cleared or in flush_cache_page_if_present. The
_PAGE_ACCESSED bit is not used, so the problem is avoided.

The flush method can be selected using the CONFIG_FLUSH_PAGE_ACCESSED
define in cache.c. The default is 0. I didn't see a large difference
in performance.

<content type='text'>
The per-architecture fbdev code has no dependencies on fbdev and can
be used for any video-related subsystem. Rename the files to 'video'.
Use video-sti.c on parisc as the source file depends on CONFIG_STI_CORE.

On arc, arm, arm64, sh, and um the asm header file is an empty wrapper
around the file in asm-generic. Let Kbuild generate the file. The build
system does this automatically. Only um needs to generate video.h
explicitly, so that it overrides the host architecture's header. The
latter would otherwise interfere with the build.

Further update all includes statements, include guards, and Makefiles.
Also update a few strings and comments to refer to video instead of
fbdev.

v3:
- arc, arm, arm64, sh: generate asm header via build system (Sam,
Helge, Arnd)
- um: rename fb.h to video.h
- fix typo in commit message (Sam)

The per-architecture fbdev code has no dependencies on fbdev and can
be used for any video-related subsystem. Rename the files to 'video'.
Use video-sti.c on parisc as the source file depends on CONFIG_STI_CORE.

On arc, arm, arm64, sh, and um the asm header file is an empty wrapper
around the file in asm-generic. Let Kbuild generate the file. The build
system does this automatically. Only um needs to generate video.h
explicitly, so that it overrides the host architecture's header. The
latter would otherwise interfere with the build.

Further update all includes statements, include guards, and Makefiles.
Also update a few strings and comments to refer to video instead of
fbdev.

v3:
- arc, arm, arm64, sh: generate asm header via build system (Sam,
Helge, Arnd)
- um: rename fb.h to video.h
- fix typo in commit message (Sam)

<title>arch: Remove struct fb_info from video helpers</title>

The per-architecture video helpers do not depend on struct fb_info
or anything else from fbdev. Remove it from the interface and replace
fb_is_primary_device() with video_is_primary_device(). The new helper
is similar in functionality, but can operate on non-fbdev devices.

<title>parisc: Define sigset_t in parisc uapi header</title>

The util-linux debian package fails to build on parisc, because
sigset_t isn't defined in asm/signal.h when included from userspace.
Move the sigset_t type from internal header to the uapi header to fix the
build.

<title>parisc: add u16 support to cmpxchg()</title>

Add (and export) __cmpxchg_u16(), teach __cmpxchg() to use it.

And get rid of manual truncation down to u8, etc. in there - the
only reason for those is to avoid bogus warnings about constant
truncation from sparse, and those are easy to avoid by turning
that switch into conditional expression.
