riscv: handle VM_FAULT_[HWPOISON|HWPOISON_LARGE] faults instead of panicking
Patch series "Fix set_huge_pte_at()". A recent report [1] from Ryan for arm64 revealed that we do not handle swap entries when setting a hugepage backed by a NAPOT region (the contpte riscv equivalent). As explained in [1], the issue was discovered by a new test in kselftest which uses poison entries, but the symptoms are different from arm64 though: - the riscv kernel bugs because we do not handle VM_FAULT_HWPOISON*, this is fixed by patch 1, - after that, the test passes because the first pte_napot() fails (the poison entry does not have the N bit set), and then we only set the first page table entry covering the NAPOT hugepage, which is enough for hugetlb_fault() to correctly raise a VM_FAULT_HWPOISON wherever we write in this mapping since only this first page table entry is checked (see https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v6.6-rc3/source/mm/hugetlb.c#L6071). But this seems fragile so patch 2 sets all page table entries of a NAPOT mapping. [1]: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-arm-kernel/20230922115804.2043771-1-ryan.roberts@arm.com/ This patch (of 2): We used to panic when such faults were encountered but we should handle those faults gracefully for userspace by sending a SIGBUS to the process, like most architectures do.
