mainlining shenanigans
70427f6e9e
Running this test program on ARMv4 a few times (sometimes just once)
reproduces the bug.
int main()
{
unsigned i;
char paragon[SIZE];
void* ptr;
memset(paragon, 0xAA, SIZE);
ptr = mmap(NULL, SIZE, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE,
MAP_ANON | MAP_SHARED, -1, 0);
if (ptr == MAP_FAILED) return 1;
printf("ptr = %p\n", ptr);
for (i=0;i<10000;i++){
memset(ptr, 0xAA, SIZE);
if (memcmp(ptr, paragon, SIZE)) {
printf("Unexpected bytes on iteration %u!!!\n", i);
break;
}
}
munmap(ptr, SIZE);
}
In the "ptr" buffer there appear runs of zero bytes which are aligned
by 16 and their lengths are multiple of 16.
Linux v5.11 does not have the bug, "git bisect" finds the first bad commit:

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
