[ Upstream commit 6569fc12e442ea973d96db39e542aa19a7bc3a79 ]

Commit 8aeb7b17f04e ("RISC-V: Make mmap() with PROT_WRITE imply PROT_READ")
allows riscv to use mmap with PROT_WRITE only, and meanwhile mmap with w+x
is also permitted. However, when userspace tries to access this page with
PROT_WRITE|PROT_EXEC, which causes infinite loop at load page fault as
well as it triggers soft lockup. According to riscv privileged spec,
"Writable pages must also be marked readable". The fix to drop the
`PAGE_COPY_READ_EXEC` and then `PAGE_COPY_EXEC` would be just used instead.
This aligns the other arches (i.e arm64) for protection_map.

<title>riscv: perf: Fix callchain parse error with kernel tracepoint events</title>

<content type='text'>
commit 9a7e8ec0d4cc64870ea449b4fce5779b77496cbb upstream.

For RISC-V, when tracing with tracepoint events, the IP and status are
set to 0, preventing the perf code parsing the callchain and resolving
the symbols correctly.

 ./ply 'tracepoint:kmem/kmem_cache_alloc { @[stack]=count(); }'
 @:
 { &lt;STACKID4294967282&gt; }: 1

The fix is to implement perf_arch_fetch_caller_regs for riscv, which
fills several necessary registers used for callchain unwinding,
including epc, sp, s0 and status. It's similar to commit b3eac0265bf6
("arm: perf: Fix callchain parse error with kernel tracepoint events")
and commit 5b09a094f2fb ("arm64: perf: Fix callchain parse error with
kernel tracepoint events").

With this patch, callchain can be parsed correctly as:

commit 41cad8284d5e6bf1d49d3c10a6b52ee1ae866a20 upstream.

sbi_probe_extension() is specified with "Returns 0 if the given SBI
extension ID (EID) is not available, or 1 if it is available unless
defined as any other non-zero value by the implementation."
Additionally, sbiret.value is a long. Fix the implementation to
ensure any nonzero long value is considered a success, rather
than only positive int values.

<title>riscv: Move early dtb mapping into the fixmap region</title>

riscv establishes 2 virtual mappings:

- early_pg_dir maps the kernel which allows to discover the system
  memory
- swapper_pg_dir installs the final mapping (linear mapping included)

We used to map the dtb in early_pg_dir using DTB_EARLY_BASE_VA, and this
mapping was not carried over in swapper_pg_dir. It happens that
early_init_fdt_scan_reserved_mem() must be called before swapper_pg_dir is
setup otherwise we could allocate reserved memory defined in the dtb.
And this function initializes reserved_mem variable with addresses that
lie in the early_pg_dir dtb mapping: when those addresses are reused
with swapper_pg_dir, this mapping does not exist and then we trap.

The previous "fix" was incorrect as early_init_fdt_scan_reserved_mem()
must be called before swapper_pg_dir is set up otherwise we could
allocate in reserved memory defined in the dtb.

So move the dtb mapping in the fixmap region which is established in
early_pg_dir and handed over to swapper_pg_dir.

Here's my attempt at fixing both the use of an FPU on XIP kernels and
the issue that Jason ran into where CONFIG_FPU, which needs the
alternatives frame work for has_fpu() checks, could be enabled without
the alternatives actually being present.

For the former, a "slow" fallback that does not use alternatives is
added to riscv_has_extension_[un]likely() that can be used with XIP.
Obviously, we want to make use of Jisheng's alternatives based approach
where possible, so any users of riscv_has_extension_[un]likely() will
want to make sure that they select RISCV_ALTERNATIVE.
If they don't however, they'll hit the fallback path which (should,
sparing a silly mistake from me!) behave in the same way, thus
succeeding silently. Sounds like a

To prevent "depends on !XIP_KERNEL; select RISCV_ALTERNATIVE" spreading
like the plague through the various places that want to check for the
presence of extensions, and sidestep the potential silent "success"
mentioned above, all users RISCV_ALTERNATIVE are converted from selects
to dependencies, with the option being selected for all !XIP_KERNEL
builds.

I know that the VDSO was a key place that Jisheng wanted to use the new
helper rather than static branches, and I think the fallback path
should not cause issues there.

See the thread at [1] for the prior discussion.

The has_fpu() check, which in turn calls riscv_has_extension_likely(),
relies on alternatives to figure out whether the system has an FPU.
As a result, it will malfunction on XIP kernels, as they do not support
the alternatives mechanism.

When alternatives support is not present, fall back to using
__riscv_isa_extension_available() in riscv_has_extension_[un]likely()
instead stead, which handily takes the same argument, so that kernels
that do not support alternatives can accurately report the presence of
FPU support.

<title>riscv: mm: Fix incorrect ASID argument when flushing TLB</title>

Currently, we pass the CONTEXTID instead of the ASID to the TLB flush
function. We should only take the ASID field to prevent from touching
the reserved bit field.

Some time ago two different patches have been posted to fix stale TLB
entries that caused applications crashes.

The patch [0] suggested 'aggregating' mm_cpumask, i.e. current cpu is not
cleared for the switched-out task in switch_mm function. For additional
explanations see the commit message by Guo Ren. The same approach is
used by arc architecture, so another good comment is for switch_mm
in arch/arc/include/asm/mmu_context.h.

The patch [1] attempted to reduce the number of TLB flushes by deferring
(and possibly avoiding) them for CPUs not running the task.

Patch [1] has been merged. However we already have two bug reports from
different vendors. So apparently something is missing in the approach
suggested in [1]. In both cases the patch [0] fixed the issue.

This patch series reverts [1] and replaces it by [0].

This reverts the remaining bits of commit 4bd1d80efb5a ("riscv: mm:
notify remote harts harts about mmu cache updates").

According to bug reports, suggested approach to fix stale TLB entries
is not sufficient. It needs to be replaced by a more robust solution.

<title>RISC-V: Don't check text_mutex during stop_machine</title>

We're currently using stop_machine() to update ftrace &amp; kprobes, which
means that the thread that takes text_mutex during may not be the same
as the thread that eventually patches the code.  This isn't actually a
race because the lock is still held (preventing any other concurrent
accesses) and there is only one thread running during stop_machine(),
but it does trigger a lockdep failure.

This patch just elides the lockdep check during stop_machine.
