      um: asm/page.h: remove the pte_high member from struct pte_t · 012a4163
      Nicolai Stange authored 
      

Commit 16da3068 ("um: kill pfn_t") introduced a compile warning for
defconfig (SUBARCH=i386):

  arch/um/kernel/skas/mmu.c:38:206:
      warning: right shift count >= width of type [-Wshift-count-overflow]

Aforementioned patch changes the definition of the phys_to_pfn() macro
from

  ((pfn_t) ((p) >> PAGE_SHIFT))

to

  ((p) >> PAGE_SHIFT)

This effectively changes the phys_to_pfn() expansion's type from
unsigned long long to unsigned long.

Through the callchain init_stub_pte() => mk_pte(), the expansion of
phys_to_pfn() is (indirectly) fed into the 'phys' argument of the
pte_set_val(pte, phys, prot) macro, eventually leading to

  (pte).pte_high = (phys) >> 32;

This results in the warning from above.

Since UML only deals with 32 bit addresses, the upper 32 bits from
'phys' used to be always zero anyway.  Also, all page protection flags
defined by UML don't use any bits beyond bit 9.  Since the contents of a
PTE are defined within architecture scope only, the ->pte_high member
can be safely removed.

Remove the ->pte_high member from struct pte_t.
Rename ->pte_low to ->pte.
Adapt the pte helper macros in arch/um/include/asm/page.h.

Noteworthy is the pte_copy() macro where a smp_wmb() gets dropped.  This
write barrier doesn't seem to be paired with any read barrier though and
thus, was useless anyway.

      mm, hugetlb: don't require CMA for runtime gigantic pages · 080fe206
      Vlastimil Babka authored 
      

Commit 944d9fec ("hugetlb: add support for gigantic page allocation
at runtime") has added the runtime gigantic page allocation via
alloc_contig_range(), making this support available only when CONFIG_CMA
is enabled.  Because it doesn't depend on MIGRATE_CMA pageblocks and the
associated infrastructure, it is possible with few simple adjustments to
require only CONFIG_MEMORY_ISOLATION instead of full CONFIG_CMA.

After this patch, alloc_contig_range() and related functions are
available and used for gigantic pages with just CONFIG_MEMORY_ISOLATION
enabled.  Note CONFIG_CMA selects CONFIG_MEMORY_ISOLATION.  This allows
supporting runtime gigantic pages without the CMA-specific checks in
page allocator fastpaths.

      m32r: fix build failure due to SMP and MMU · af1ddcb5
      Sudip Mukherjee authored 
      

One of the randconfig build failed with the error:

  arch/m32r/kernel/smp.c: In function 'smp_flush_tlb_mm':
  arch/m32r/kernel/smp.c:283:20: error: subscripted value is neither array nor pointer nor vector
    mmc = &mm->context[cpu_id];
                      ^
  arch/m32r/kernel/smp.c: In function 'smp_flush_tlb_page':
  arch/m32r/kernel/smp.c:353:20: error: subscripted value is neither array nor pointer nor vector
    mmc = &mm->context[cpu_id];
                      ^

  arch/m32r/kernel/smp.c:479:41: error: subscripted value is neither array nor pointer nor vector
    unsigned long *mmc = &flush_mm->context[cpu_id];

It turned out that CONFIG_SMP was defined but CONFIG_MMU was not
defined.  But arch/m32r/include/asm/mmu.h only defines mm_context_t as
an array when both CONFIG_SMP and CONFIG_MMU are defined.  And
arch/m32r/kernel/smp.c is always using context as an array.  So without
MMU SMP can not work.

      x86/mm/pat: Avoid truncation when converting cpa->numpages to address · 74256377
      Matt Fleming authored 
      

There are a couple of nasty truncation bugs lurking in the pageattr
code that can be triggered when mapping EFI regions, e.g. when we pass
a cpa->pgd pointer. Because cpa->numpages is a 32-bit value, shifting
left by PAGE_SHIFT will truncate the resultant address to 32-bits.

Viorel-Cătălin managed to trigger this bug on his Dell machine that
provides a ~5GB EFI region which requires 1236992 pages to be mapped.
When calling populate_pud() the end of the region gets calculated
incorrectly in the following buggy expression,

  end = start + (cpa->numpages << PAGE_SHIFT);

And only 188416 pages are mapped. Next, populate_pud() gets invoked
for a second time because of the loop in __change_page_attr_set_clr(),
only this time no pages get mapped because shifting the remaining
number of pages (1048576) by PAGE_SHIFT is zero. At which point the
loop in __change_page_attr_set_clr() spins forever because we fail to
map progress.

Hitting this bug depends very much on the virtual address we pick to
map the large region at and how many pages we map on the initial run
through the loop. This explains why this issue was only recently hit
with the introduction of commit

  a5caa209 ("x86/efi: Fix boot crash by mapping EFI memmap
   entries bottom-up at runtime, instead of top-down")

It's interesting to note that safe uses of cpa->numpages do exist in
the pageattr code. If instead of shifting ->numpages we multiply by
PAGE_SIZE, no truncation occurs because PAGE_SIZE is a UL value, and
so the result is unsigned long.

To avoid surprises when users try to convert very large cpa->numpages
values to addresses, change the data type from 'int' to 'unsigned
long', thereby making it suitable for shifting by PAGE_SHIFT without
any type casting.

The alternative would be to make liberal use of casting, but that is
far more likely to cause problems in the future when someone adds more
code and fails to cast properly; this bug was difficult enough to
track down in the first place.

      perf/x86: Fix uninitialized value usage · e01d8718
      Peter Zijlstra authored 
      

When calling intel_alt_er() with .idx != EXTRA_REG_RSP_* we will not
initialize alt_idx and then use this uninitialized value to index an
array.

When that is not fatal, it can result in an infinite loop in its
caller __intel_shared_reg_get_constraints(), with IRQs disabled.

Alternative error modes are random memory corruption due to the
cpuc->shared_regs->regs[] array overrun, which manifest in either
get_constraints or put_constraints doing weird stuff.

Only took 6 hours of painful debugging to find this. Neither GCC nor
Smatch warnings flagged this bug.

      powerpc/perf: Remove PPMU_HAS_SSLOT flag for Power8 · 370f06c8
      Madhavan Srinivasan authored 
      

Commit 7a786832 ("powerpc/perf: Add an explict flag indicating
presence of SLOT field") introduced the PPMU_HAS_SSLOT flag to remove
the assumption that MMCRA[SLOT] was present when PPMU_ALT_SIPR was not
set.

That commit's changelog also mentions that Power8 does not support
MMCRA[SLOT]. However when the Power8 PMU support was merged, it
errnoeously included the PPMU_HAS_SSLOT flag.

So remove PPMU_HAS_SSLOT from the Power8 flags.

mpe: On systems where MMCRA[SLOT] exists, the field occupies bits 37:39
(IBM numbering). On Power8 bit 37 is reserved, and 38:39 overlap with
the high bits of the Threshold Event Counter Mantissa. I am not aware of
any published events which use the threshold counting mechanism, which
would cause the mantissa bits to be set. So in practice this bug is
unlikely to trigger.
