Patch series "Fix CONT-PTE/PMD size hugetlb issue when unmapping or migrating", v4.
presently, migrating a hugetlb page or unmapping a poisoned hugetlb page,
we'll use ptep_clear_flush() and set_pte_at() to nuke the page table entry
and remap it, and this is incorrect for CONT-PTE or CONT-PMD size hugetlb
page, which will cause potential data consistent issue. This patch set
will change to use hugetlb related APIs to fix this issue.
Note: Mike pointed out the huge_ptep_get() will only return the one
specific value, and it would not take into account the dirty or young bits
of CONT-PTE/PMDs like the huge_ptep_get_and_clear() [1]. This
inconsistent issue is not introduced by this patch set, and this issue
will be addressed in another thread [2]. Meanwhile the uffd for hugetlb
case [3] pointed out by Gerald also needs another patch to address.

This patch (of 3):
It is incorrect to use ptep_clear_flush() to nuke a hugetlb page table
when unmapping or migrating a hugetlb page, and will change to use
huge_ptep_clear_flush() instead in the following patches.
So this is a preparation patch, which changes the huge_ptep_clear_flush()
to return the original pte to help to nuke a hugetlb page table.

This change fixes the following:
1) The flags variable is not initialized. Always use raw_spin_lock_irqsave
and raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore to serialize patching.
2) flush_kernel_vmap_range is primarily intended for DMA flushes. Since
__patch_text_multiple is often called with interrupts disabled, it is
better to directly call flush_kernel_dcache_range_asm and
flush_kernel_icache_range_asm. This avoids an extra call.
3) The final call to flush_icache_range is unnecessary.

When CPU hotplugging is enabled, the user may want to remove the

Move the common_stext function into the non-init text section if hotplug
is enabled. This function is called from the firmware when hotplugged
CPUs are brought up.
Signed-off-by: Helge Deller <deller@gmx.de>
Add relevant code to __cpu_die() and __cpu_disable() to finally enable
the CPU hotplugging features. Reset the irq count values in smp_callin()
to zero before bringing up the CPU.
It seems that the firmware may need up to 8 seconds to fully stop a CPU
in which no other PDC calls are allowed to be made. Use a timeout
__cpu_die() to accommodate for this.
Use "chcpu -d 1" to bring CPU1 down, and "chcpu -e 1" to bring it up.

Add pdc_cpu_rendezvous_lock() and pdc_cpu_rendezvous_unlock()

This is needed, because the transition phase may take up to 8 seconds.

This set of changes removes tracehook.h, moves modification of all of
the ptrace fields inside of siglock to remove races, adds a missing
permission check to ptrace.c
The removal of tracehook.h is quite significant as it has been a major
source of confusion in recent years. Much of that confusion was
around task_work and TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL (which I have now decoupled
making the semantics clearer).
For people who don't know tracehook.h is a vestiage of an attempt to
implement uprobes like functionality that was never fully merged, and
was later superseeded by uprobes when uprobes was merged. For many
years now we have been removing what tracehook functionaly a little
bit at a time. To the point where now anything left in tracehook.h is
some weird strange thing that is difficult to understand.
Eric W. Biederman (15):
ptrace: Move ptrace_report_syscall into ptrace.h
ptrace/arm: Rename tracehook_report_syscall report_syscall
ptrace: Create ptrace_report_syscall_{entry,exit} in ptrace.h
ptrace: Remove arch_syscall_{enter,exit}_tracehook
ptrace: Remove tracehook_signal_handler
task_work: Remove unnecessary include from posix_timers.h
task_work: Introduce task_work_pending
task_work: Call tracehook_notify_signal from get_signal on all architectures
task_work: Decouple TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL and task_work
signal: Move set_notify_signal and clear_notify_signal into sched/signal.h
resume_user_mode: Remove #ifdef TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME in set_notify_resume
resume_user_mode: Move to resume_user_mode.h
tracehook: Remove tracehook.h
ptrace: Move setting/clearing ptrace_message into ptrace_stop
ptrace: Return the signal to continue with from ptrace_stop

Merge tag 'powerpc-5.18-1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/powerpc/linux
Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman:
"Livepatch support for 32-bit is probably the standout new feature,
otherwise mostly just lots of bits and pieces all over the board.
There's a series of commits cleaning up function descriptor handling,
which touches a few other arches as well as LKDTM. It has acks from
Arnd, Kees and Helge.
Summary:
- Enforce kernel RO, and implement STRICT_MODULE_RWX for 603.
- Add support for livepatch to 32-bit.
- Implement CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_ARGS.
- Merge vdso64 and vdso32 into a single directory.
- Fix build errors with newer binutils.
- Add support for UADDR64 relocations, which are emitted by some
toolchains. This allows powerpc to build with the latest lld.
- Fix (another) potential userspace r13 corruption in transactional
memory handling.
- Cleanups of function descriptor handling & related fixes to LKDTM.

MADV_DONTNEED historically rejects mlocked ranges, but with MLOCK_ONFAULT
and MCL_ONFAULT allowing to mlock without populating, there are valid use
cases for depopulating locked ranges as well.
Users mlock memory to protect secrets. There are allocators for secure
buffers that want in-use memory generally mlocked, but cleared and
invalidated memory to give up the physical pages. This could be done with
explicit munlock -> mlock calls on free -> alloc of course, but that adds
two unnecessary syscalls, heavy mmap_sem write locks, vma splits and
re-merges - only to get rid of the backing pages.
Users also mlockall(MCL_ONFAULT) to suppress sustained paging, but are
okay with on-demand initial population. It seems valid to selectively
free some memory during the lifetime of such a process, without having to
mess with its overall policy.
Why add a separate flag? Isn't this a pretty niche usecase?
- MADV_DONTNEED has been bailing on locked vmas forever. It's at least
conceivable that someone, somewhere is relying on mlock to protect
data from perhaps broader invalidation calls. Changing this behavior
now could lead to quiet data corruption.
- It also clarifies expectations around MADV_FREE and maybe
MADV_REMOVE. It avoids the situation where one quietly behaves
different than the others. MADV_FREE_LOCKED can be added later.
- The combination of mlock() and madvise() in the first place is
probably niche. But where it happens, I'd say that dropping pages
from a locked region once they don't contain secrets or won't page
anymore is much saner than relying on mlock to protect memory from
speculative or errant invalidation calls. It's just that we can't
change the default behavior because of the two previous points.
Given that, an explicit new flag seems to make the most sense.

Core
----
- Introduce XDP multi-buffer support, allowing the use of XDP with
jumbo frame MTUs and combination with Rx coalescing offloads (LRO).
- Speed up netns dismantling (5x) and lower the memory cost a little.
Remove unnecessary per-netns sockets. Scope some lists to a netns.
Cut down RCU syncing. Use batch methods. Allow netdev registration
to complete out of order.
- Support distinguishing timestamp types (ingress vs egress) and
maintaining them across packet scrubbing points (e.g. redirect).
- Continue the work of annotating packet drop reasons throughout
the stack.
- Switch netdev error counters from an atomic to dynamically
allocated per-CPU counters.
- Rework a few preempt_disable(), local_irq_save() and busy waiting
sections problematic on PREEMPT_RT.
- Extend the ref_tracker to allow catching use-after-free bugs.
BPF
---
- Introduce "packing allocator" for BPF JIT images. JITed code is
marked read only, and used to be allocated at page granularity.
Custom allocator allows for more efficient memory use, lower
iTLB pressure and prevents identity mapping huge pages from
getting split.
- Make use of BTF type annotations (e.g. __user, __percpu) to enforce
the correct probe read access method, add appropriate helpers.
- Convert the BPF preload to use light skeleton and drop
the user-mode-driver dependency.
- Allow XDP BPF_PROG_RUN test infra to send real packets, enabling
its use as a packet generator.
- Allow local storage memory to be allocated with GFP_KERNEL if called
from a hook allowed to sleep.
- Introduce fprobe (multi kprobe) to speed up mass attachment (arch
bits to come later).
- Add unstable conntrack lookup helpers for BPF by using the BPF
kfunc infra.
- Allow cgroup BPF progs to return custom errors to user space.
- Add support for AF_UNIX iterator batching.
- Allow iterator programs to use sleepable helpers.
- Support JIT of add, and, or, xor and xchg atomic ops on arm64.
- Add BTFGen support to bpftool which allows to use CO-RE in kernels
without BTF info.
- Large number of libbpf API improvements, cleanups and deprecations.
Protocols
---------
- Micro-optimize UDPv6 Tx, gaining up to 5% in test on dummy netdev.
- Adjust TSO packet sizes based on min_rtt, allowing very low latency
links (data centers) to always send full-sized TSO super-frames.
- Make IPv6 flow label changes (AKA hash rethink) more configurable,
via sysctl and setsockopt. Distinguish between server and client
behavior.
- VxLAN support to "collect metadata" devices to terminate only
configured VNIs. This is similar to VLAN filtering in the bridge.
- Support inserting IPv6 IOAM information to a fraction of frames.
- Add protocol attribute to IP addresses to allow identifying where
given address comes from (kernel-generated, DHCP etc.)
- Support setting socket and IPv6 options via cmsg on ping6 sockets.
- Reject mis-use of ECN bits in IP headers as part of DSCP/TOS.
Define dscp_t and stop taking ECN bits into account in fib-rules.
- Add support for locked bridge ports (for 802.1X).
- tun: support NAPI for packets received from batched XDP buffs,
doubling the performance in some scenarios.
- IPv6 extension header handling in Open vSwitch.
- Support IPv6 control message load balancing in bonding, prevent
neighbor solicitation and advertisement from using the wrong port.
Support NS/NA monitor selection similar to existing ARP monitor.
- SMC
- improve performance with TCP_CORK and sendfile()
- support auto-corking
- support TCP_NODELAY
- MCTP (Management Component Transport Protocol)
- add user space tag control interface
- I2C binding driver (as specified by DMTF DSP0237)
- Multi-BSSID beacon handling in AP mode for WiFi.
- Bluetooth:
- handle MSFT Monitor Device Event
- add MGMT Adv Monitor Device Found/Lost events
- Multi-Path TCP:
- add support for the SO_SNDTIMEO socket option
- lots of selftest cleanups and improvements
- Increase the max PDU size in CAN ISOTP to 64 kB.
Driver API
----------
- Add HW counters for SW netdevs, a mechanism for devices which
offload packet forwarding to report packet statistics back to
software interfaces such as tunnels.
- Select the default NIC queue count as a fraction of number of
physical CPU cores, instead of hard-coding to 8.
- Expose devlink instance locks to drivers. Allow device layer of
drivers to use that lock directly instead of creating their own
which always runs into ordering issues in devlink callbacks.
- Add header/data split indication to guide user space enabling
of TCP zero-copy Rx.
- Allow configuring completion queue event size.
- Refactor page_pool to enable fragmenting after allocation.
- Add allocation and page reuse statistics to page_pool.
- Improve Multiple Spanning Trees support in the bridge to allow
reuse of topologies across VLANs, saving HW resources in switches.
- DSA (Distributed Switch Architecture):
- replay and offload of host VLAN entries
- offload of static and local FDB entries on LAG interfaces
- FDB isolation and unicast filtering

There are three sets of updates for 5.18 in the asm-generic tree:
- The set_fs()/get_fs() infrastructure gets removed for good. This
was already gone from all major architectures, but now we can
finally remove it everywhere, which loses some particularly
tricky and error-prone code.
There is a small merge conflict against a parisc cleanup, the
solution is to use their new version.
- The nds32 architecture ends its tenure in the Linux kernel. The
hardware is still used and the code is in reasonable shape, but
the mainline port is not actively maintained any more, as all
remaining users are thought to run vendor kernels that would never
be updated to a future release.

Pull asm-generic updates from Arnd Bergmann:
"There are three sets of updates for 5.18 in the asm-generic tree:
- The set_fs()/get_fs() infrastructure gets removed for good.
This was already gone from all major architectures, but now we can
finally remove it everywhere, which loses some particularly tricky
and error-prone code. There is a small merge conflict against a
parisc cleanup, the solution is to use their new version.
- The nds32 architecture ends its tenure in the Linux kernel.
The hardware is still used and the code is in reasonable shape, but
the mainline port is not actively maintained any more, as all
remaining users are thought to run vendor kernels that would never
be updated to a future release.

we must generally purge TLB entries before flushing. The flush routines
must use TLB entries that inhibit cache move-in.

This patch changes the kprobe and kretprobe feature to use another

feature.
That way those kprobes now work in qemu as well, because in qemu we
don't emulate yet single-stepping.

At least the qemu virtual machine does not provide D- and I-caches,
so skip triggering SMP irqs to flush caches on such machines.
Further optimize the caching code by using static branches and making
some functions static.

In testing the "Fix non-access data TLB cache flush faults" change,
I noticed a significant improvement in glibc build and check times.
This led me to investigate the parisc_cache_flush_threshold setting.
It determines when we switch from line flushing to whole cache flushing.
It turned out that the parisc_cache_flush_threshold setting on
mako and mako2 machines (PA8800 and PA8900 processors) was way too
small. Adjusting this setting provided almost a factor two improvement
in the glibc build and check time.

Convert the inline assembly code to use the automatic EFAULT exception
handler. With that the fixup code can be dropped.
The other change is to allow double-word only when a 64-bit kernel is

The get_current() code uses the mfctl() macro to get the pointer to the
current task struct from %cr30. The problem with the mfctl() macro is,
that it is marked volatile which is basically correct, because mfctl()
is used to get e.g. the current internal timer or interrupt flags as
well.
But specifically the task struct pointer (%cr30) doesn't change over
time when the kernel executes code for a task.
So, by dropping the volatile when retrieving %cr30 the compiler is now
able to get this value only once and optimize the generated code a lot.
A bloat-o-meter comparism shows that this patch saves ~5kB kernel code
on a 32-bit kernel and ~6kB kernel code on a 64-bit kernel.

This patch drops the CONFIG_PARISC_SELF_EXTRACT option.
The palo boot loader is able to decompress a kernel which was compressed
with gzip. That possibility was useful when the Linux kernel
self-extracting feature wasn't implemented yet.
Beside the fact that the self-extracting feature offers much better
compression rates, we do support self-extracting kernels already since
kernel v4.14, so now it's really time to get rid of that old option and
always use the self-extractor.

Add minimal vDSO support, which provides the signal trampoline helpers,
but none of the userspace syscall helpers like time wrappers.
The big benefit of this vDSO implementation is, that we now don't need
an executeable stack any longer. PA-RISC is one of the last
architectures where an executeable stack was needed in oder to implement
the signal trampolines by putting assembly instructions on the stack
which then gets executed. Instead the kernel will provide the relevant
code in the vDSO page and only put the pointers to the signal
information on the stack.
By dropping the need for executable stacks we avoid running into issues
with applications which want non executable stacks for security reasons.
Additionally, alternative stacks on memory areas without exec
permissions are supported too.
This code is based on an initial implementation by Randolph Chung from 2006:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-parisc/4544A34A.6080700@tausq.org/
I did the porting and lifted the code to current code base. Dave fixed
the unwind code so that gdb and glibc are able to backtrace through the
code. An additional patch to gdb will be pushed upstream by Dave.

With the latest cache fix for non-access faults and the support for
non-access faults (code 17) in handle_interruption, we can remove

Signed-off-by: John David Anglin <dave.anglin@bell.net>

Currently, the parisc kernel does not fully support non-access TLB
fault handling for probe instructions. In the fast path, we set the
target register to zero if it is not a shadowed register. The slow
path is not implemented, so we call do_page_fault. The architecture
indicates that non-access faults should not cause a page fault from
disk.
This change adds to code to provide non-access fault support for
probe instructions. It also modifies the handling of faults on
userspace so that if the address lies in a valid VMA and the access
type matches that for the VMA, the probe target register is set to
one. Otherwise, the target register is set to zero.
This was done to make probe instructions more useful for userspace.
Probe instructions are not very useful if they set the target register
to zero whenever a page is not present in memory. Nominally, the
purpose of the probe instruction is determine whether read or write
access to a given address is allowed.
This fixes a problem in function pointer comparison noticed in the
glibc testsuite (stdio-common/tst-vfprintf-user-type). The same
problem is likely in glibc (_dl_lookup_address).
V2 adds flush and lpa instruction support to handle_nadtlb_fault.
