<id>75f9a484e817adea211c73f89ed938a2b2f90953</id>
<content type='text'>
This bug was already discovered and fixed for arm64 in
commit 588a513d3425 ("arm64: Fix race condition on PG_dcache_clean in
__sync_icache_dcache()").

Verified with added instrumentation to track dcache flushes in a ring
buffer, as shown by the (distilled) output:

  kernel: SIGILL at b6b80ac0 cpu 1 pid 32663 linux_pte=8eff659f
          hw_pte=8eff6e7e young=1 exec=1
  kernel: dcache flush START   cpu0 pfn=8eff6 ts=48629557020154
  kernel: dcache flush SKIPPED cpu1 pfn=8eff6 ts=48629557020154
  kernel: dcache flush FINISH  cpu0 pfn=8eff6 ts=48629557036154
  audisp-syslog: comm="journalctl" exe="/usr/bin/journalctl" sig=4 [...]

Discussions in the mailing list mentioned that arch/arm is also affected
but the fix was never applied to it [1][2]. Apply the change now, since
the race condition can cause sporadic SIGILL's and SEGV's especially
while under high memory pressure.

<title>arch, mm: consolidate empty_zero_page</title>

<id>6215d9f4470fbb48245ffdfade821685e2728c65</id>
<content type='text'>
Reduce 22 declarations of empty_zero_page to 3 and 23 declarations of
ZERO_PAGE() to 4.

Every architecture defines empty_zero_page that way or another, but for the
most of them it is always a page aligned page in BSS and most definitions
of ZERO_PAGE do virt_to_page(empty_zero_page).

Move Linus vetted x86 definition of empty_zero_page and ZERO_PAGE() to the
core MM and drop these definitions in architectures that do not implement
colored zero page (MIPS and s390).

ZERO_PAGE() remains a macro because turning it to a wrapper for a static
inline causes severe pain in header dependencies.

For the most part the change is mechanical, with these being noteworthy:

* alpha: aliased empty_zero_page with ZERO_PGE that was also used for boot
  parameters. Switching to a generic empty_zero_page removes the aliasing
  and keeps ZERO_PGE for boot parameters only
* arm64: uses __pa_symbol() in ZERO_PAGE() so that definition of
  ZERO_PAGE() is kept intact.
* m68k/parisc/um: allocated empty_zero_page from memblock,
  although they do not support zero page coloring and having it in BSS
  will work fine.
* sparc64 can have empty_zero_page in BSS rather allocate it, but it
  can't use virt_to_page() for BSS. Keep it's definition of ZERO_PAGE()
  but instead of allocating it, make mem_map_zero point to
  empty_zero_page.
* sh: used empty_zero_page for boot parameters at the very early boot.
  Rename the parameters page to boot_params_page and let sh use the generic
  empty_zero_page.
* hexagon: had an amusing comment about empty_zero_page

	/* A handy thing to have if one has the RAM. Declared in head.S */

  that unfortunately had to go :)

<title>ARM: move FSR fault status definitions before fsr_fs()</title>

<content type='text'>
The FSR's fault status bits depend on whether LPAE is enabled. Rather
than always exposing both LPAE and non-LPAE to all code, move them
inside the ifdef blocks dependent on LPAE to restrict their visibility.
No code other than fsr_fs() makes use of these.

__do_user_fault() may be called from fault handling paths where the
interrupts are enabled or disabled. E.g. do_page_fault() calls this
with interrupts enabled, whereas do_sect_fault()-&gt;do_bad_area()
will call this with interrupts disabled. Since this is a userspace
fault, we know that interrupts were enabled in the parent context,
so call local_irq_enable() here to give a consistent interrupt state.

This is necessary for force_sig_info() when PREEMPT_RT is enabled.
