commit 3f81d2447b37ac697b3c600039f2c6b628c06e21 upstream.

We were previously using free_bootmem() and just getting lucky
that nothing too bad happened.

<title>vm: add VM_FAULT_SIGSEGV handling support</title>

<id>903575f1b008e275bae8e55adf12907efc012f72</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 33692f27597fcab536d7cbbcc8f52905133e4aa7 upstream.

The core VM already knows about VM_FAULT_SIGBUS, but cannot return a
"you should SIGSEGV" error, because the SIGSEGV case was generally
handled by the caller - usually the architecture fault handler.

That results in lots of duplication - all the architecture fault
handlers end up doing very similar "look up vma, check permissions, do
retries etc" - but it generally works.  However, there are cases where
the VM actually wants to SIGSEGV, and applications _expect_ SIGSEGV.

In particular, when accessing the stack guard page, libsigsegv expects a
SIGSEGV.  And it usually got one, because the stack growth is handled by
that duplicated architecture fault handler.

However, when the generic VM layer started propagating the error return
from the stack expansion in commit fee7e49d4514 ("mm: propagate error
from stack expansion even for guard page"), that now exposed the
existing VM_FAULT_SIGBUS result to user space.  And user space really
expected SIGSEGV, not SIGBUS.

To fix that case, we need to add a VM_FAULT_SIGSEGV, and teach all those
duplicate architecture fault handlers about it.  They all already have
the code to handle SIGSEGV, so it's about just tying that new return
value to the existing code, but it's all a bit annoying.

This is the mindless minimal patch to do this.  A more extensive patch
would be to try to gather up the mostly shared fault handling logic into
one generic helper routine, and long-term we really should do that
cleanup.

Just from this patch, you can generally see that most architectures just
copied (directly or indirectly) the old x86 way of doing things, but in
the meantime that original x86 model has been improved to hold the VM
semaphore for shorter times etc and to handle VM_FAULT_RETRY and other
"newer" things, so it would be a good idea to bring all those
improvements to the generic case and teach other architectures about
them too.

There is a risk that the variable will be used without being initialized.

This was largely found by using a static code analysis program called cppcheck.

<content type='text'>
Currently hugepage migration is available for all archs which support
pmd-level hugepage, but testing is done only for x86_64 and there're
bugs for other archs.  So to avoid breaking such archs, this patch
limits the availability strictly to x86_64 until developers of other
archs get interested in enabling this feature.

Simply disabling hugepage migration on non-x86_64 archs is not enough to
fix the reported problem where sys_move_pages() hits the BUG_ON() in
follow_page(FOLL_GET), so let's fix this by checking if hugepage
migration is supported in vma_migratable().

Pull core irq updates from Thomas Gleixner:
 "The irq department delivers:

   - Another tree wide update to get rid of the horrible create_irq
     interface along with its even more horrible variants.  That also
     gets rid of the last leftovers of the initial sparse irq hackery.
     arch/driver specific changes have been either acked or ignored.

   - A fix for the spurious interrupt detection logic with threaded
     interrupts.

   - A new ARM SoC interrupt controller

Pull core irq updates from Thomas Gleixner:
 "The irq department delivers:

   - Another tree wide update to get rid of the horrible create_irq
     interface along with its even more horrible variants.  That also
     gets rid of the last leftovers of the initial sparse irq hackery.
     arch/driver specific changes have been either acked or ignored.

   - A fix for the spurious interrupt detection logic with threaded
     interrupts.

   - A new ARM SoC interrupt controller

   - The usual pile of fixes and improvements all over the place"

Pull scheduler updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "The main scheduling related changes in this cycle were:

   - various sched/numa updates, for better performance

   - tree wide cleanup of open coded nice levels

   - nohz fix related to rq-&gt;nr_running use

   - cpuidle changes and continued consolidation to improve the
     kernel/sched/idle.c high level idle scheduling logic.  As part of
     this effort I pulled cpuidle driver changes from Rafael as well.

   - standardized idle polling amongst architectures

   - continued work on preparing better power/energy aware scheduling

   - sched/rt updates

   - misc fixlets and cleanups"
