[ Upstream commit 7a2369b74abf76cd3e54c45b30f6addb497f831b ]

The z3fold compressed pages allocator is rarely used, most users use
zsmalloc.  The only disadvantage of zsmalloc in comparison is the
dependency on MMU, and zbud is a more common option for !MMU as it was the
default zswap allocator for a long time.

Historically, zsmalloc had worse latency than zbud and z3fold but offered
better memory savings.  This is no longer the case as shown by a simple
recent analysis [1].  That analysis showed that z3fold does not have any
advantage over zsmalloc or zbud considering both performance and memory
usage.  In a kernel build test on tmpfs in a limited cgroup, z3fold took
3% more time and used 1.8% more memory.  The latency of zswap_load() was
7% higher, and that of zswap_store() was 10% higher.  Zsmalloc is better
in all metrics.

Moreover, z3fold apparently has latent bugs, which was made noticeable by
a recent soft lockup bug report with z3fold [2].  Switching to zsmalloc
not only fixed the problem, but also reduced the swap usage from 6~8G to
1~2G.  Other users have also reported being bitten by mistakenly enabling
z3fold.

Other than hurting users, z3fold is repeatedly causing wasted engineering
effort.  Apart from investigating the above bug, it came up in multiple
development discussions (e.g.  [3]) as something we need to handle, when
there aren't any legit users (at least not intentionally).

The natural course of action is to deprecate z3fold, and remove in a few
cycles if no objections are raised from active users.  Next on the list
should be zbud, as it offers marginal latency gains at the cost of huge
memory waste when compared to zsmalloc.  That one will need to wait until
zsmalloc does not depend on MMU.

Rename the user-visible config option from CONFIG_Z3FOLD to
CONFIG_Z3FOLD_DEPRECATED so that users with CONFIG_Z3FOLD=y get a new
prompt with explanation during make oldconfig.  Also, remove
CONFIG_Z3FOLD=y from defconfigs.

<title>powerpc/vdso: Fix VDSO data access when running in a non-root time namespace</title>

[ Upstream commit c73049389e58c01e2e3bbfae900c8daeee177191 ]

When running in a non-root time namespace, the global VDSO data page
is replaced by a dedicated namespace data page and the global data
page is mapped next to it. Detailed explanations can be found at
commit 660fd04f9317 ("lib/vdso: Prepare for time namespace support").

When it happens, __kernel_get_syscall_map and __kernel_get_tbfreq
and __kernel_sync_dicache don't work anymore because they read 0
instead of the data they need.

To address that, clock_mode has to be read. When it is set to
VDSO_CLOCKMODE_TIMENS, it means it is a dedicated namespace data page
and the global data is located on the following page.

Add a macro called get_realdatapage which reads clock_mode and add
PAGE_SIZE to the pointer provided by get_datapage macro when
clock_mode is equal to VDSO_CLOCKMODE_TIMENS. Use this new macro
instead of get_datapage macro except for time functions as they handle
it internally.

[ Upstream commit b76e0d4215b6b622127ebcceaa7f603313ceaec4 ]

_be32 type is defined for some elements in pseries_hp_errorlog
struct but also used them u32 after be32_to_cpu() conversion.

Example: In handle_dlpar_errorlog()
hp_elog-&gt;_drc_u.drc_index = be32_to_cpu(hp_elog-&gt;_drc_u.drc_index);

And later assigned to u32 type
dlpar_cpu() - u32 drc_index = hp_elog-&gt;_drc_u.drc_index;

This incorrect usage is giving the following warnings and the
patch resolve these warnings with the correct assignment.

<title>powerpc/atomic: Use YZ constraints for DS-form instructions</title>

commit 39190ac7cff1fd15135fa8e658030d9646fdb5f2 upstream.

The 'ld' and 'std' instructions require a 4-byte aligned displacement
because they are DS-form instructions. But the "m" asm constraint
doesn't enforce that.

That can lead to build errors if the compiler chooses a non-aligned
displacement, as seen with GCC 14:

  /tmp/ccuSzwiR.s: Assembler messages:
  /tmp/ccuSzwiR.s:2579: Error: operand out of domain (39 is not a multiple of 4)
  make[5]: *** [scripts/Makefile.build:229: net/core/page_pool.o] Error 1

Dumping the generated assembler shows:

  ld 8,39(8)       # MEM[(const struct atomic64_t *)_29].counter, t

Use the YZ constraints to tell the compiler either to generate a DS-form
displacement, or use an X-form instruction, either of which prevents the
build error.

See commit 2d43cc701b96 ("powerpc/uaccess: Fix build errors seen with
GCC 13/14") for more details on the constraint letters.

<title>powerpc/8xx: Fix kernel vs user address comparison</title>

[ Upstream commit 65a82e117ffeeab0baf6f871a1cab11a28ace183 ]

Since commit 9132a2e82adc ("powerpc/8xx: Define a MODULE area below
kernel text"), module exec space is below PAGE_OFFSET so not only
space above PAGE_OFFSET, but space above TASK_SIZE need to be seen
as kernel space.

Until now the problem went undetected because by default TASK_SIZE
is 0x8000000 which means address space is determined by just
checking upper address bit. But when TASK_SIZE is over 0x80000000,
PAGE_OFFSET is used for comparison, leading to thinking module
addresses are part of user space.

Fix it by using TASK_SIZE instead of PAGE_OFFSET for address
comparison.

[ Upstream commit f9f2bff64c2f0dbee57be3d8c2741357ad3d05e6 ]

Commit cf209951fa7f ("powerpc/8xx: Map linear memory with huge pages")
introduced an initial mapping of kernel TEXT using PAGE_KERNEL_TEXT,
but the pages that contain kernel TEXT may also contain kernel RODATA,
and depending on selected debug options PAGE_KERNEL_TEXT may be either
RWX or ROX. RODATA must be writable during init because it also
contains ro_after_init data.

So use PAGE_KERNEL_X instead to be sure it is RWX.

This is due to virt_addr_valid() using high_memory before it is set.

high_memory is set in mem_init() using max_low_pfn, but max_low_pfn
is available long before, it is set in mem_topology_setup(). So just
like commit daa9ada2093e ("powerpc/mm: Fix boot crash with FLATMEM")
moved the setting of max_mapnr immediately after the call to
mem_topology_setup(), the same can be done for high_memory.
