[ Upstream commit 403f17a330732a666ae793f3b15bc75bb5540524 ]

The sys_fanotify_mark() syscall on parisc uses the reverse word order
for the two halves of the 64-bit argument compared to all syscalls on
all 32-bit architectures. As far as I can tell, the problem is that
the function arguments on parisc are sorted backwards (26, 25, 24, 23,
...) compared to everyone else, so the calling conventions of using an
even/odd register pair in native word order result in the lower word
coming first in function arguments, matching the expected behavior
on little-endian architectures. The system call conventions however
ended up matching what the other 32-bit architectures do.

A glibc cleanup in 2020 changed the userspace behavior in a way that
handles all architectures consistently, but this inadvertently broke
parisc32 by changing to the same method as everyone else.

The change made it into glibc-2.35 and subsequently into debian 12
(bookworm), which is the latest stable release. This means we
need to choose between reverting the glibc change or changing the
kernel to match it again, but either hange will leave some systems
broken.

Pick the option that is more likely to help current and future
users and change the kernel to match current glibc. This also
means the behavior is now consistent across architectures, but
it breaks running new kernels with old glibc builds before 2.35.

Johannes missed parisc back when he introduced the compat version
of these syscalls, so receiving cmsg messages that require a compat
conversion is still broken.

Use the correct calls like the other architectures do.

<title>kprobe/ftrace: bail out if ftrace was killed</title>

[ Upstream commit 1a7d0890dd4a502a202aaec792a6c04e6e049547 ]

If an error happens in ftrace, ftrace_kill() will prevent disarming
kprobes. Eventually, the ftrace_ops associated with the kprobes will be
freed, yet the kprobes will still be active, and when triggered, they
will use the freed memory, likely resulting in a page fault and panic.

This behavior can be reproduced quite easily, by creating a kprobe and
then triggering a ftrace_kill(). For simplicity, we can simulate an
ftrace error with a kernel module like [1]:

[1]: https://github.com/brenns10/kernel_stuff/tree/master/ftrace_killer

  sudo perf probe --add commit_creds
  sudo perf trace -e probe:commit_creds
  # In another terminal
  make
  sudo insmod ftrace_killer.ko  # calls ftrace_kill(), simulating bug
  # Back to perf terminal
  # ctrl-c
  sudo perf probe --del commit_creds

After a short period, a page fault and panic would occur as the kprobe
continues to execute and uses the freed ftrace_ops. While ftrace_kill()
is supposed to be used only in extreme circumstances, it is invoked in
FTRACE_WARN_ON() and so there are many places where an unexpected bug
could be triggered, yet the system may continue operating, possibly
without the administrator noticing. If ftrace_kill() does not panic the
system, then we should do everything we can to continue operating,
rather than leave a ticking time bomb.

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

commit 72d95924ee35c8cd16ef52f912483ee938a34d49 upstream.

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.

Convert to use real temp variables instead of clobbering processor
registers. This aligns the 64-bit inline assembly code with the 32-bit
assembly code which was rewritten with commit 427c1073a2a1
("parisc/unaligned: Rewrite 32-bit inline assembly of emulate_ldd()").

While at it, fix comment in 32-bit rewrite code. Temporary variables are
now used for both 32-bit and 64-bit code, so move their declarations
to the function header.

No functional change intended.

Since commit d492cc2573a0 ("driver core: device.h: make struct
bus_type a const *"), the driver core can properly handle constant
struct bus_type, move the parisc_bus_type variable to be a constant
structure as well, placing it into read-only memory which can not be
modified at runtime.

<title>parisc: Fix stack unwinder</title>

<id>882a2a724ee964c1ebe7268a91d5c8c8ddc796bf</id>
<content type='text'>
Debugging shows a large number of unaligned access traps in the unwinder
code. Code analysis reveals a number of issues with this code:

- handle_interruption is passed twice through
  dereference_kernel_function_descriptor()
- ret_from_kernel_thread, syscall_exit, intr_return,
  _switch_to_ret, and _call_on_stack are passed through
  dereference_kernel_function_descriptor() even though they are
  not declared as function pointers.

To fix the problems, drop one of the calls to
dereference_kernel_function_descriptor() for handle_interruption,
and compare the other pointers directly.

Fixes: 6414b30b39f9 ("parisc: unwind: Avoid missing prototype warning for handle_interruption()")
Fixes: 8e0ba125c2bf ("parisc/unwind: fix unwinder when CONFIG_64BIT is enabled")
