commit 3ec18fc7831e7d79e2d536dd1f3bc0d3ba425e8a upstream.

commit 8779e05ba8aa ("parisc: Fix ptrace check on syscall return")
fixed testing of TI_FLAGS. This uncovered a bug in the test mask.
syscall_restore_rfi is only used when the kernel needs to exit to
usespace with single or block stepping and the recovery counter
enabled. The test however used _TIF_SYSCALL_TRACE_MASK, which
includes a lot of bits that shouldn't be tested here.

Fix this by using TIF_SINGLESTEP and TIF_BLOCKSTEP directly.

I encountered this bug by enabling syscall tracepoints. Both in qemu and
on real hardware. As soon as i enabled the tracepoint (sys_exit_read,
but i guess it doesn't really matter which one), i got random page
faults in userspace almost immediately.

<title>parisc: Flush kernel data mapping in set_pte_at() when installing pte for user page</title>

commit 38860b2c8bb1b92f61396eb06a63adff916fc31d upstream.

For years, there have been random segmentation faults in userspace on
SMP PA-RISC machines.  It occurred to me that this might be a problem in
set_pte_at().  MIPS and some other architectures do cache flushes when
installing PTEs with the present bit set.

Here I have adapted the code in update_mmu_cache() to flush the kernel
mapping when the kernel flush is deferred, or when the kernel mapping
may alias with the user mapping.  This simplifies calls to
update_mmu_cache().

I also changed the barrier in set_pte() from a compiler barrier to a
full memory barrier.  I know this change is not sufficient to fix the
problem.  It might not be needed.

I have had a few days of operation with 5.14.16 to 5.15.1 and haven't
seen any random segmentation faults on rp3440 or c8000 so far.

<title>parisc: Fix backtrace to always include init funtion names</title>

commit 279917e27edc293eb645a25428c6ab3f3bca3f86 upstream.

I noticed that sometimes at kernel startup the backtraces did not
included the function names of init functions. Their address were not
resolved to function names and instead only the address was printed.

Debugging shows that the culprit is is_ksym_addr() which is called
by the backtrace functions to check if an address belongs to a function in
the kernel. The problem occurs only for CONFIG_KALLSYMS_ALL=y.

When looking at is_ksym_addr() one can see that for CONFIG_KALLSYMS_ALL=y
the function only tries to resolve the address via is_kernel() function,
which checks like this:
	if (addr &gt;= _stext &amp;&amp; addr &lt;= _end)
                return 1;
On parisc the init functions are located before _stext, so this check fails.
Other platforms seem to have all functions (including init functions)
behind _stext.

The following patch moves the _stext symbol at the beginning of the
kernel and thus includes the init section. This fixes the check and does
not seem to have any negative side effects on where the kernel mapping
happens in the map_pages() function in arch/parisc/mm/init.c.

With idle polling, IPIs are not sent when a CPU idle, but queued
and run later from do_idle(). The default kgdb_call_nmi_hook()
implementation gets the pointer to struct pt_regs from get_irq_reqs(),
which doesn't work in that case because it was not called from the
IPI interrupt handler. Fix it by defining our own kgdb_roundup()
function which sents an IPI_ENTER_KGDB. When that IPI is received
on the target CPU kgdb_nmicallback() is called.

commit 030f653078316a9cc9ca6bd1b0234dcf858be35d upstream.

I was debugging some crashes on parisc and I found out that there is a
crash possibility if a function using alloca is interrupted by a signal.
The reason for the crash is that the gcc alloca implementation leaves
garbage in the upper 32 bits of the sp register. This normally doesn't
matter (the upper bits are ignored because the PSW W-bit is clear),
however the signal delivery routine in the kernel uses full 64 bits of sp
and it fails with -EFAULT if the upper 32 bits are not zero.

I created this program that demonstrates the problem:

#include &lt;stdlib.h&gt;
#include &lt;unistd.h&gt;
#include &lt;signal.h&gt;
#include &lt;alloca.h&gt;

static __attribute__((noinline,noclone)) void aa(int *size)
{
	void * volatile p = alloca(-*size);
	while (1) ;
}

static void handler(int sig)
{
	write(1, "signal delivered\n", 17);
	_exit(0);
}

int main(void)
{
	int size = -0x100;
	signal(SIGALRM, handler);
	alarm(1);
	aa(&amp;size);
}

If you compile it with optimizations, it will crash.
The "aa" function has this disassembly:

000106a0 &lt;aa&gt;:
   106a0:       08 03 02 41     copy r3,r1
   106a4:       08 1e 02 43     copy sp,r3
   106a8:       6f c1 00 80     stw,ma r1,40(sp)
   106ac:       37 dc 3f c1     ldo -20(sp),ret0
   106b0:       0c 7c 12 90     stw ret0,8(r3)
   106b4:       0f 40 10 9c     ldw 0(r26),ret0		; ret0 = 0x00000000FFFFFF00
   106b8:       97 9c 00 7e     subi 3f,ret0,ret0	; ret0 = 0xFFFFFFFF0000013F
   106bc:       d7 80 1c 1a     depwi 0,31,6,ret0	; ret0 = 0xFFFFFFFF00000100
   106c0:       0b 9e 0a 1e     add,l sp,ret0,sp	;   sp = 0xFFFFFFFFxxxxxxxx
   106c4:       e8 1f 1f f7     b,l,n 106c4 &lt;aa+0x24&gt;,r0

This patch fixes the bug by truncating the "usp" variable to 32 bits.

commit 030f653078316a9cc9ca6bd1b0234dcf858be35d upstream.

I was debugging some crashes on parisc and I found out that there is a
crash possibility if a function using alloca is interrupted by a signal.
The reason for the crash is that the gcc alloca implementation leaves
garbage in the upper 32 bits of the sp register. This normally doesn't
matter (the upper bits are ignored because the PSW W-bit is clear),
however the signal delivery routine in the kernel uses full 64 bits of sp
and it fails with -EFAULT if the upper 32 bits are not zero.

I created this program that demonstrates the problem:

#include &lt;stdlib.h&gt;
#include &lt;unistd.h&gt;
#include &lt;signal.h&gt;
#include &lt;alloca.h&gt;

static __attribute__((noinline,noclone)) void aa(int *size)
{
	void * volatile p = alloca(-*size);
	while (1) ;
}

static void handler(int sig)
{
	write(1, "signal delivered\n", 17);
	_exit(0);
}

int main(void)
{
	int size = -0x100;
	signal(SIGALRM, handler);
	alarm(1);
	aa(&amp;size);
}

If you compile it with optimizations, it will crash.
The "aa" function has this disassembly:

000106a0 &lt;aa&gt;:
   106a0:       08 03 02 41     copy r3,r1

   106a8:       6f c1 00 80     stw,ma r1,40(sp)
   106ac:       37 dc 3f c1     ldo -20(sp),ret0
   106b0:       0c 7c 12 90     stw ret0,8(r3)
   106b4:       0f 40 10 9c     ldw 0(r26),ret0		; ret0 = 0x00000000FFFFFF00
   106b8:       97 9c 00 7e     subi 3f,ret0,ret0	; ret0 = 0xFFFFFFFF0000013F
   106bc:       d7 80 1c 1a     depwi 0,31,6,ret0	; ret0 = 0xFFFFFFFF00000100
   106c0:       0b 9e 0a 1e     add,l sp,ret0,sp	;   sp = 0xFFFFFFFFxxxxxxxx

<title>Revert "parisc: Add assembly implementations for memset, strlen, strcpy, strncpy and strcat"</title>

This reverts commit 83af58f8068ea3f7b3c537c37a30887bfa585069.

It turns out that at least the assembly implementation for strncpy() was
buggy.  Revert the whole commit and return back to the default coding.
