When entering KDB via a breakpoint and then performing single-step
debugging, an oops is triggered. Now during single-step debugging,
kdb_local() expects the reason to be KDB_REASON_SSTEP, but it is
actually KDB_REASON_OOPS. In kdb_stub(), when determining the reason,
the ex_vector for single-step should be 0, as already implemented on
other architectures such as arm64 and riscv.

Before the patch:
[112]kdb&gt; ss

Entering kdb (current=0x900020009f520000, pid 10661) on
processor 112 Oops: (null)

<title>LoongArch: Fix address space mismatch in kexec command line lookup</title>

<content type='text'>
When searching the loaded segments for the "kexec" command line marker,
the kexec_load(2) path (file_mode == 0) passes the user-space segment
buffer straight to strncmp() through a bogus (char __user *) cast. This
dereferences a user pointer in kernel context, which is wrong and is
flagged by sparse:

  arch/loongarch/kernel/machine_kexec.c:84:51: sparse: incorrect type in
  argument 2 (different address spaces) @@ expected char const * @@ got
  char [noderef] __user *

Here copy the marker-sized prefix of each segment into a small on-stack
buffer with copy_from_user() before comparing, and skip segments that
fault. The subsequent copy_from_user() that stages the full command line
into the safe area is left unchanged.

Currently, the LoongArch CPU topology initialization code calculates
each core's package ID by dividing its physical ID by loongson_sysconf.
cores_per_package. This relies on the assumption that cores_per_package
counts in the same domain as physical IDs.

On Loongson-3B6000 (XB612B0V_1.2), cores_per_package matches the visible
core count -- 24 in this case. However, the physical IDs range from 0 to
31 in a noncontinuous fashion:

        $ cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep -i -F 'global_id'
        global_id               : 0
        global_id               : 1
        global_id               : 4
        global_id               : 5

        global_id               : 31

Retrieve the exact package ID from ACPI PPTT when available, in the same
style as retrieving the core ID and thread ID in parse_acpi_topology().
Use this information in loongson_init_secondary() when the PPTT readout
is successful. The original division logic is kept as a fallback.

Meanwhile, since some existing code paths like loongson3_cpufreq expect
a continuous integer sequence of package IDs in [0, MAX_PACKAGES) when
retrieving from cpu_data[], here we also canonicalize the package ID to
be filled in parse_acpi_topology() to meet such an expectation.

<title>LoongArch: Move jump_label_init() before parse_early_param()</title>

When enabling both CONFIG_MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING=y and
CONFIG_MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING_ENABLED_BY_DEFAULT=y, then diabling memory
profiling by adding the boot parameter 'sysctl.vm.mem_profiling=0' will
cause the kernel failed to boot.

After analysis, this is because jump_label_init() must be called before
parse_early_param(), the early param handlers may modify static keys by
static_branch_enable/disable().

Fix this by moving jump_label_init() to before parse_early_param(). The
solution is similar to other architectures.

In some assembly files there are some instructions that only valid for
64BIT, but those files can be compiled for 32BIT and cause build errors.

So, replace those instructions with macros:
li.d --&gt; LONG_LI (li.w or li.d), addi.d --&gt; PTR_ADDI (addi.w or addi.d).

BTW, Re-tab the indention in the assembly files for alignment.

<id>f2539c56c74691e7a88af6372ba2b48c06ed2fe4</id>
<content type='text'>
This is a port of MIPS commit 9f3f3bdc6d9dac1 ("MIPS: smp: report dying
CPU to RCU in stop_this_cpu()"). smp_send_stop() parks all secondary
CPUs in stop_this_cpu(). And the function marks the CPU offline for the
scheduler via set_cpu_online(false) but never informs RCU, so RCU keeps
expecting a quiescent state from CPUs that are now spinning forever with
interrupts disabled.

As long as nothing waits for an RCU grace period after smp_send_stop()
this is harmless, which is why it went unnoticed. However, since commit
91840be8f710370 ("irq_work: Fix use-after-free in irq_work_single() on
PREEMPT_RT"), irq_work_sync() calls synchronize_rcu() on architectures
without an irq_work self-IPI, i.e. where arch_irq_work_has_interrupt()
returns false. Any irq_work_sync() issued in the reboot/shutdown/halt
path after smp_send_stop() then blocks on a grace period that can never
complete, hanging the reboot:

  WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 15 at kernel/irq_work.c:144 irq_work_queue_on
  ...
  rcu: INFO: rcu_sched detected stalls on CPUs/tasks:
  rcu: Offline CPU 1 blocking current GP.
  rcu: Offline CPU 2 blocking current GP.
  rcu: Offline CPU 3 blocking current GP.

This issue needs some hacks to reproduce, and it was not noticed on
LoongArch because arch_irq_work_has_interrupt() usually returns true.

Call rcutree_report_cpu_dead() once interrupts are disabled, mirroring

CPUs and grace periods can still complete. LoongArch shuts down all CPUs
here without going through the CPU-hotplug mechanism, so this report is

This is a port of MIPS commit 9f3f3bdc6d9dac1 ("MIPS: smp: report dying
CPU to RCU in stop_this_cpu()"). smp_send_stop() parks all secondary
CPUs in stop_this_cpu(). And the function marks the CPU offline for the
scheduler via set_cpu_online(false) but never informs RCU, so RCU keeps
expecting a quiescent state from CPUs that are now spinning forever with
interrupts disabled.

As long as nothing waits for an RCU grace period after smp_send_stop()
this is harmless, which is why it went unnoticed. However, since commit
91840be8f710370 ("irq_work: Fix use-after-free in irq_work_single() on
PREEMPT_RT"), irq_work_sync() calls synchronize_rcu() on architectures
without an irq_work self-IPI, i.e. where arch_irq_work_has_interrupt()
returns false. Any irq_work_sync() issued in the reboot/shutdown/halt
path after smp_send_stop() then blocks on a grace period that can never
complete, hanging the reboot:

  WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 15 at kernel/irq_work.c:144 irq_work_queue_on
  ...
  rcu: INFO: rcu_sched detected stalls on CPUs/tasks:
  rcu: Offline CPU 1 blocking current GP.
  rcu: Offline CPU 2 blocking current GP.
  rcu: Offline CPU 3 blocking current GP.

This issue needs some hacks to reproduce, and it was not noticed on
LoongArch because arch_irq_work_has_interrupt() usually returns true.

Call rcutree_report_cpu_dead() once interrupts are disabled, mirroring
the generic CPU-hotplug offline path, so RCU stops waiting on the parked
CPUs and grace periods can still complete. LoongArch shuts down all CPUs
here without going through the CPU-hotplug mechanism, so this report is
not otherwise issued.

<title>LoongArch: Add PIO for early access before ACPI PCI root register</title>

For ACPI system we suppose the ISA/LPC PIO range is registered together
with PCI root bridge. But the fact is there may be some early access to
the ISA/LPC PIO range before ACPI PCI root register (most of them are
due to abnormal BIOS). Unconditionally register the ISA/LPC PIO range
usually causes ACPI PCI root register fail because of the address range
confliction. So we add a pair of helpers: acpi_add_early_pio() to add
PIO for early access, and acpi_remove_early_pio() to remove PIO before
PCI root register. Since acpi_remove_early_pio() may be called multiple
times, we add an acpi_pio flag to ensure PIO be removed only once.

<title>LoongArch: Add THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK implementation</title>

Like other architectures such as x86, arm64, riscv, powerpc and s390,
select THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK for LoongArch to move thread_info off the
stack into task_struct. This follows modern kernel standards and also
makes the system more secure.

With this patch, thread_info is included in task_struct at an offset
of 0 instead of being placed at the bottom of the kernel stack. Thus,
the $tp register points to both thread_info and task_struct.

To support this, introduce a per-CPU variable cpu_tasks to store the
pointer to the current task_struct. This decouples the recovery	of the
$tp register from the stack pointer during exception entry.

Then initialize cpu_tasks for the primary and secondary CPUs during
arch-specific setup and SMP boot paths. To eliminate the dangerous
windows during the early initialization where the cpu_tasks remains
uninitialized, set_current() is invoked as early as possible in both
setup_arch() and start_secondary(). This ensures the $tp recovery
barrier is armed in case any early boot exceptions or kernel panics
occur.

Modify SAVE_SOME and handle_syscall to restore the $tp register from
cpu_tasks, and also use the la_abs absolute addressing for cpu_tasks
access in assembly to bypass the relocation limits within exception
handling sections. By advancing the preservation of u0 in SAVE_SOME,
we reuse the PERCPU_BASE_KS value in u0 for the cpu_tasks calculation,
effectively eliminating a duplicate csrrd instruction execution on SMP
platforms.

Update &lt;asm/switch_to.h&gt; and &lt;kernel/switch.S&gt; to fully support the
CONFIG_THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK feature.

Remove the obsolete next_ti argument from __switch_to(), which shifts
the remaining arguments ahead in the calling convention (sched_ra from
a3 to a2, and sched_cfa from a4 to a3). Under the new configuration,
__switch_to() now directly derives the thread pointer ($tp) from the
next task_struct pointer in a1.

To preserve the optimal and clean "move tp, a1" path for 64-bit kernels,
the thread pointer ($tp) is assigned directly from a1 in the core path.
For 32-bit kernels, where a1 carries a 2000-byte structural pointer bias
at entry, an explicit adjustment "PTR_ADDI tp, tp, -TASK_STRUCT_OFFSET"
is introduced at the function exit.

In the context of __switch_to(), local interrupts are disabled, and the
kernel is in a critical switching phase where handling any synchronous
exception is practically impossible and prohibited.

If any synchronous exception or watchpoint does trigger in this narrow
window, it constitutes a fatal double fault and the kernel is expected
to die/panic immediately anyway. Therefore, the temporary biased value
in $tp is safe and acceptable here.

Additionally, evaluate the stack lookup as a single load instruction
"LONG_LPTR t0, a1, (TASK_STACK - TASK_STRUCT_OFFSET)", this perfectly
satisfies both 32-bit and 64-bit kernels. Using the "next" pointer in
a1 as the base register, rather than $tp, effectively unchains the data
dependency (RAW hazard) from the preceding move instruction, maximizing
the instruction-level parallelism and superscalar execution efficiency
while naturally adapting the structural shift.

With CONFIG_THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK enabled, the kernel stack life cycle is
decoupled from task_struct and can be freed concurrently.

Currently, show_stacktrace() reads raw stack data via __get_addr() and
subsequently calls show_backtrace() to unwind the frame, without holding
any reference to the target task's stack. If show_stacktrace() is called
on a concurrently exiting task, it could attempt to read from a freed or
reallocated kernel stack. This introduces a severe use-after-free (UAF)
read risk or kernel panics.

Wrap the entire stack inspection process inside show_stacktrace() with
a try_get_task_stack() and put_task_stack() pair. This ensures the task
stack remains pinned safely during both the raw stack data dump loop and
the subsequent stack unwinding phase.

Also, ensure that the task pointer is initialized to "current" early if
it is NULL, so that try_get_task_stack() always operates on a valid task
reference.

Pull interrupt core updates from Thomas Gleixner:

  - Rework of /proc/interrupt handling:

    /proc/interrupts was subject to micro optimizations for a long time,
    but most of the low hanging fruit was left on the table. This rework
    addresses the major time consuming issues:

      - Printing a long series of zeros one by one via a format string
        instead of counting subsequent zeros and emitting a string
        constant.

      - Simplify and cache the conditions whether interrupts should be
        printed

      - Use a proper iteration over the interrupt descriptor xarray
        instead of walking and testing one by one.

      - Provide helper functions for the architecture code to emit the
        architecture specific counters

      - Convert the counter structure in x86 to an array, which
        simplifies the output and add mechanisms to suppress unused
        architecture interrupts, which just occupy space for nothing.
        Adopt the new core mechanisms.

    This adjusts the gdb scripts related to interrupt counter statistics
    to work with the new mechanisms.

  - Prevent a string overflow in the /proc/irq/$N/ directory name
    creation code.
