commit a0fc1436f1f4f84e93144480bf30e0c958d135b6 upstream.

The result of the s32ex opcode is recorded in the ATOMCTL special
register and must be retrieved with the getex opcode. Context switch
between s32ex and getex may trash the ATOMCTL register and result in
duplicate update or missing update of the atomic variable.
Add atomctl8 field to the struct thread_info and use getex to swap
ATOMCTL bit 8 as a part of context switch.
Clear exclusive access monitor on kernel entry.

__get_user_[no]check uses temporary buffer of type long to store result
of __get_user_size and do sign extension on it when necessary. This
doesn't work correctly for 64-bit data. Fix it by moving temporary
buffer/sign extension logic to __get_user_asm.

Don't do assignment of __get_user_bad result to (x) as it may not always
be integer-compatible now and issue warning even when it's going to be
optimized. Instead do (x) = 0; and call __get_user_bad separately.

Zero initialize __x in __get_user_asm and use '+' constraint for its
assembly argument, so that its value is preserved in error cases. This
may add at most 1 cycle to the fast path, but saves an instruction and
two padding bytes in the fixup section for each use of this macro and
works for both misaligned store and store exception.

Numeric assembly arguments are hard to understand and assembly code that
uses them is hard to modify. Use named arguments in __check_align_*,
__get_user_asm and __put_user_asm. Modify macro parameter names so that
they don't affect argument names. Use '+' constraint for the [err]
argument instead of having it as both input and output.

First of all, on short copies __copy_{to,from}_user() return the amount
of bytes left uncopied, *not* -EFAULT.  get_user() and put_user() are
expected to return -EFAULT on failure.

Another problem is get_user(v32, (__u64 __user *)p); that should
fetch 64bit value and the assign it to v32, truncating it in process.
Current code, OTOH, reads 8 bytes of data and stores them at the
address of v32, stomping on the 4 bytes that follow v32 itself.

<title>mm: treewide: clarify pgtable_page_{ctor,dtor}() naming</title>

<content type='text'>
The naming of pgtable_page_{ctor,dtor}() seems to have confused a few
people, and until recently arm64 used these erroneously/pointlessly for
other levels of page table.

To make it incredibly clear that these only apply to the PTE level, and to
align with the naming of pgtable_pmd_page_{ctor,dtor}(), let's rename them
to pgtable_pte_page_{ctor,dtor}().

These changes were generated with the following shell script:

----
git grep -lw 'pgtable_page_.tor' | while read FILE; do
    sed -i '{s/pgtable_page_ctor/pgtable_pte_page_ctor/}' $FILE;
    sed -i '{s/pgtable_page_dtor/pgtable_pte_page_dtor/}' $FILE;
done
----

... with the documentation re-flowed to remain under 80 columns, and
whitespace fixed up in macros to keep backslashes aligned.

There should be no functional change as a result of this patch.

Both pgtable_cache_init() and pgd_cache_init() are used to initialize kmem
cache for page table allocations on several architectures that do not use
PAGE_SIZE tables for one or more levels of the page table hierarchy.

Most architectures do not implement these functions and use __weak default
NOP implementation of pgd_cache_init().  Since there is no such default
for pgtable_cache_init(), its empty stub is duplicated among most
architectures.

Rename the definitions of pgd_cache_init() to pgtable_cache_init() and
drop empty stubs of pgtable_cache_init().

Patch series "mm: remove quicklist page table caches".

A while ago Nicholas proposed to remove quicklist page table caches [1].

I've rebased his patch on the curren upstream and switched ia64 and sh to
use generic versions of PTE allocation.

[1] https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20190711030339.20892-1-npiggin@gmail.com

This patch (of 3):

Remove page table allocator "quicklists".  These have been around for a
long time, but have not got much traction in the last decade and are only
used on ia64 and sh architectures.

The numbers in the initial commit look interesting but probably don't
apply anymore.  If anybody wants to resurrect this it's in the git
history, but it's unhelpful to have this code and divergent allocator
behaviour for minor archs.

Also it might be better to instead make more general improvements to page
allocator if this is still so slow.

Move PCI configuration space, MMIO and memory to the KIO range to free
vmalloc area and use static TLB to access them. Move MMIO to the
beginning of KIO and define PCI_IOBASE as XCHAL_KIO_BYPASS_VADDR to
match it. Reduce number of supported PCI buses to 0x3f so that ECAM
window fits into first 64MB of the KIO. Reduce size of the PCI memory
window to 128MB so that it fits into KIO.

Move PCI configuration space, MMIO and memory to the KIO range to free
vmalloc area and use static TLB to access them. Move MMIO to the
beginning of KIO and define PCI_IOBASE as XCHAL_KIO_BYPASS_VADDR to
match it. Reduce number of supported PCI buses to 0x3f so that ECAM
window fits into first 64MB of the KIO. Reduce size of the PCI memory
window to 128MB so that it fits into KIO.
