Do not load one entry beyond the end of the syscall table when the
syscall number of a traced process equals to __NR_Linux_syscalls.
Similar bug with regular processes was fixed by commit 3bb457af4fa8
("[PARISC] Fix bug when syscall nr is __NR_Linux_syscalls").
This bug was found by strace test suite.

Pull parisc ftrace fixes from Helge Deller:
"This is (most likely) the last pull request for v4.6 for the parisc
architecture.
It fixes the FTRACE feature for parisc, which is horribly broken since
quite some time and doesn't even compile. This patch just fixes the
bare minimum (it actually removes more lines than it adds), so that
the function tracer works again on 32- and 64bit kernels.
I've queued up additional patches on top of this patch which e.g. add
the syscall tracer, but those have to wait for the merge window for
v4.7."

Handling exceptions from modules never worked on parisc.
It was just masked by the fact that exceptions from modules
don't happen during normal use.
When a module triggers an exception in get_user() we need to load the
main kernel dp value before accessing the exception_data structure, and
afterwards restore the original dp value of the module on exit.

We want to avoid the kernel module loader to create function pointers
for the kernel fixup routines of get_user() and put_user(). Changing
the external reference from function type to int type fixes this.
This unbreaks exception handling for get_user() and put_user() when
called from a kernel module.

PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} macros were introduced *long* time
ago with promise that one day it will be possible to implement page
cache with bigger chunks than PAGE_SIZE.
This promise never materialized. And unlikely will.
We have many places where PAGE_CACHE_SIZE assumed to be equal to
PAGE_SIZE. And it's constant source of confusion on whether
PAGE_CACHE_* or PAGE_* constant should be used in a particular case,
especially on the border between fs and mm.
Global switching to PAGE_CACHE_SIZE != PAGE_SIZE would cause to much
breakage to be doable.
Let's stop pretending that pages in page cache are special. They are
not.
The changes are pretty straight-forward:
- <foo> << (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> <foo>;
- <foo> >> (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> <foo>;
- PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} -> PAGE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN};
- page_cache_get() -> get_page();
- page_cache_release() -> put_page();
This patch contains automated changes generated with coccinelle using
script below. For some reason, coccinelle doesn't patch header files.
I've called spatch for them manually.
The only adjustment after coccinelle is revert of changes to
PAGE_CAHCE_ALIGN definition: we are going to drop it later.
There are few places in the code where coccinelle didn't reach. I'll
fix them manually in a separate patch. Comments and documentation also
will be addressed with the separate patch.

The seccomp filter support requires careful handling of task registers. This
includes reloading of the return value (%r28) and proper syscall exit if
secure_computing() returned -1.
Additionally we need to sign-extend the syscall number from signed 32bit to
signed 64bit in do_syscall_trace_enter() since the ptrace interface only allows

KASAN needs to know whether the allocation happens in an IRQ handler.
This lets us strip everything below the IRQ entry point to reduce the
number of unique stack traces needed to be stored.
Move the definition of __irq_entry to <linux/interrupt.h> so that the
users don't need to pull in <linux/ftrace.h>. Also introduce the
__softirq_entry macro which is similar to __irq_entry, but puts the
corresponding functions to the .softirqentry.text section.

Pull cpu hotplug updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"This is the first part of the ongoing cpu hotplug rework:
- Initial implementation of the state machine
- Runs all online and prepare down callbacks on the plugged cpu and
not on some random processor
- Replaces busy loop waiting with completions
- Adds tracepoints so the states can be followed"
More detailed commentary on this work from an earlier email:
"What's wrong with the current cpu hotplug infrastructure?
- Asymmetry
The hotplug notifier mechanism is asymmetric versus the bringup and
teardown. This is mostly caused by the notifier mechanism.
- Largely undocumented dependencies
While some notifiers use explicitely defined notifier priorities,
we have quite some notifiers which use numerical priorities to
express dependencies without any documentation why.
- Control processor driven
Most of the bringup/teardown of a cpu is driven by a control
processor. While it is understandable, that preperatory steps,
like idle thread creation, memory allocation for and initialization
of essential facilities needs to be done before a cpu can boot,
there is no reason why everything else must run on a control
processor. Before this patch series, bringup looks like this:
Control CPU Booting CPU
do preparatory steps
kick cpu into life
do low level init
sync with booting cpu sync with control cpu
bring the rest up
- All or nothing approach
There is no way to do partial bringups. That's something which is
really desired because we waste e.g. at boot substantial amount of
time just busy waiting that the cpu comes to life. That's stupid
as we could very well do preparatory steps and the initial IPI for
other cpus and then go back and do the necessary low level
synchronization with the freshly booted cpu.
- Minimal debuggability
Due to the notifier based design, it's impossible to switch between
two stages of the bringup/teardown back and forth in order to test
the correctness. So in many hotplug notifiers the cancel
mechanisms are either not existant or completely untested.
- Notifier [un]registering is tedious
To [un]register notifiers we need to protect against hotplug at
every callsite. There is no mechanism that bringup/teardown
callbacks are issued on the online cpus, so every caller needs to
do it itself. That also includes error rollback.
What's the new design?
The base of the new design is a symmetric state machine, where both
the control processor and the booting/dying cpu execute a well
defined set of states. Each state is symmetric in the end, except
for some well defined exceptions, and the bringup/teardown can be
stopped and reversed at almost all states.
So the bringup of a cpu will look like this in the future:
Control CPU Booting CPU
do preparatory steps
kick cpu into life
do low level init
sync with booting cpu sync with control cpu
bring itself up
The synchronization step does not require the control cpu to wait.
That mechanism can be done asynchronously via a worker or some
other mechanism.
The teardown can be made very similar, so that the dying cpu cleans
up and brings itself down. Cleanups which need to be done after
the cpu is gone, can be scheduled asynchronously as well.
There is a long way to this, as we need to refactor the notion when a
cpu is available. Today we set the cpu online right after it comes
out of the low level bringup, which is not really correct.
The proper mechanism is to set it to available, i.e. cpu local
threads, like softirqd, hotplug thread etc. can be scheduled on that
cpu, and once it finished all booting steps, it's set to online, so
general workloads can be scheduled on it. The reverse happens on
teardown. First thing to do is to forbid scheduling of general
workloads, then teardown all the per cpu resources and finally shut it
off completely.
This patch series implements the basic infrastructure for this at the
core level. This includes the following:
- Basic state machine implementation with well defined states, so
ordering and prioritization can be expressed.
- Interfaces to [un]register state callbacks
This invokes the bringup/teardown callback on all online cpus with
the proper protection in place and [un]installs the callbacks in
the state machine array.
For callbacks which have no particular ordering requirement we have
a dynamic state space, so that drivers don't have to register an
explicit hotplug state.
If a callback fails, the code automatically does a rollback to the
previous state.
- Sysfs interface to drive the state machine to a particular step.
This is only partially functional today. Full functionality and
therefor testability will be achieved once we converted all
existing hotplug notifiers over to the new scheme.
- Run all CPU_ONLINE/DOWN_PREPARE notifiers on the booting/dying
processor:
Control CPU Booting CPU
do preparatory steps
kick cpu into life
do low level init
sync with booting cpu sync with control cpu
wait for boot
bring itself up
Signal completion to control cpu
In a previous step of this work we've done a full tree mechanical
conversion of all hotplug notifiers to the new scheme. The balance
is a net removal of about 4000 lines of code.
This is not included in this series, as we decided to take a
different approach. Instead of mechanically converting everything
over, we will do a proper overhaul of the usage sites one by one so
they nicely fit into the symmetric callback scheme.
I decided to do that after I looked at the ugliness of some of the
converted sites and figured out that their hotplug mechanism is
completely buggered anyway. So there is no point to do a
mechanical conversion first as we need to go through the usage
sites one by one again in order to achieve a full symmetric and
testable behaviour"

Mike Frysinger reported that his ptrace testcase showed strange
behaviour on parisc: It was not possible to avoid a syscall and the
return value of a syscall couldn't be changed.
To modify a syscall number, we were missing to save the new syscall
number to gr20 which is then picked up later in assembly again.
The effect that the return value couldn't be changed is a side-effect of
another bug in the assembly code. When a process is ptraced, userspace
expects each syscall to report entrance and exit of a syscall. If a
syscall number was given which doesn't exist, we jumped to the normal
syscall exit code instead of informing userspace that the (non-existant)
syscall exits. This unexpected behaviour confuses userspace and thus the
bug was misinterpreted as if we can't change the return value.
This patch fixes both problems and was tested on 64bit kernel with
32bit userspace.

Let the non boot cpus call into idle with the corresponding hotplug state, so
the hotplug core can handle the further bringup. That's a first step to
convert the boot side of the hotplugged cpus to do all the synchronization
with the other side through the state machine. For now it'll only start the
hotplug thread and kick the full bringup of the cpu.

Signed-off-by: Helge Deller <deller@gmx.de>

On parisc syscalls which are interrupted by signals sometimes failed to
restart and instead returned -ENOSYS which in the worst case lead to
userspace crashes.
A similiar problem existed on MIPS and was fixed by commit e967ef02
("MIPS: Fix restart of indirect syscalls").
On parisc the current syscall restart code assumes that all syscall
callers load the syscall number in the delay slot of the ble
instruction. That's how it is e.g. done in the unistd.h header file:
ble 0x100(%sr2, %r0)
ldi #syscall_nr, %r20
Because of that assumption the current code never restored %r20 before
returning to userspace.
This assumption is at least not true for code which uses the glibc
syscall() function, which instead uses this syntax:
ble 0x100(%sr2, %r0)
copy regX, %r20
where regX depend on how the compiler optimizes the code and register
usage.
This patch fixes this problem by adding code to analyze how the syscall
number is loaded in the delay branch and - if needed - copy the syscall
number to regX prior returning to userspace for the syscall restart.

This patch adds huge page support to allow userspace to allocate huge
pages and to use hugetlbfs filesystem on 32- and 64-bit Linux kernels.
A later patch will add kernel support to map kernel text and data on
huge pages.
The only requirement is, that the kernel needs to be compiled for a
PA8X00 CPU (PA2.0 architecture). Older PA1.X CPUs do not support
variable page sizes. 64bit Kernels are compiled for PA2.0 by default.
Technically on parisc multiple physical huge pages may be needed to

A fault vector on parisc needs to be 2K aligned. Furthermore the
checksum of the fault vector needs to sum up to 0 which is being
calculated and written at runtime.
Up to now we aligned both PA20 and PA11 fault vectors on the same 4K
page in order to easily write the checksum after having mapped the
kernel read-only (by mapping this page only as read-write).
But when we want to map the kernel text and data on huge pages this
makes things harder.
So, simplify it by aligning both fault vectors on 2K boundries and write
the checksum before we map the page read-only.

When detecting a serial port on newer PA-RISC machines (with iosapic) we have a
long way to go to find the right IRQ line, registering it, then registering the
serial port and the irq handler for the serial port. During this phase spurious
interrupts for the serial port may happen which then crashes the kernel because
the action handler might not have been set up yet.
So, basically it's a race condition between the serial port hardware and the
CPU which sets up the necessary fields in the irq sructs. The main reason for
this race is, that we unmask the serial port irqs too early without having set
up everything properly before (which isn't easily possible because we need the
IRQ number to register the serial ports).
This patch is a work-around for this problem. It adds checks to the CPU irq
handler to verify if the IRQ action field has been initialized already. If not,
we just skip this interrupt (which isn't critical for a serial port at bootup).
The real fix would probably involve rewriting all PA-RISC specific IRQ code
(for CPU, IOSAPIC, GSC and EISA) to use IRQ domains with proper parenting of
the irq chips and proper irq enabling along this line.
This bug has been in the PA-RISC port since the beginning, but the crashes
happened very rarely with currently used hardware. But on the latest machine
which I bought (a C8000 workstation), which uses the fastest CPUs (4 x PA8900,
1GHz) and which has the largest possible L1 cache size (64MB each), the kernel
crashed at every boot because of this race. So, without this patch the machine
would currently be unuseable.
For the record, here is the flow logic:
1. serial_init_chip() in 8250_gsc.c calls iosapic_serial_irq().
2. iosapic_serial_irq() calls txn_alloc_irq() to find the irq.
3. iosapic_serial_irq() calls cpu_claim_irq() to register the CPU irq
4. cpu_claim_irq() unmasks the CPU irq (which it shouldn't!)
5. serial_init_chip() then registers the 8250 port.
Problems:
- In step 4 the CPU irq shouldn't have been registered yet, but after step 5
- If serial irq happens between 4 and 5 have finished, the kernel will crash

based on timing results
The increased use of pdtlb/pitlb instructions seemed to increase the
frequency of random segmentation faults building packages. Further, we
had a number of cases where TLB inserts would repeatedly fail and all
forward progress would stop. The Haskell ghc package caused a lot of
trouble in this area. The final indication of a race in pte handling was
this syslog entry on sibaris (C8000):
swap_free: Unused swap offset entry 00000004

Note that the pte value is 0 except for the accessed bit 0x100. This bit
shouldn't be set without the present bit.
It should be noted that the madvise system call is probably a trigger for many
of the random segmentation faults.
In looking at the kernel code, I found the following problems:
1) The pte_clear define didn't take TLB lock when clearing a pte.
2) We didn't test pte present bit inside lock in exception support.
3) The pte and tlb locks needed to merged in order to ensure consistency
between page table and TLB. This also has the effect of serializing TLB
broadcasts on SMP systems.
The attached change implements the above and a few other tweaks to try
to improve performance. Based on the timing code, TLB purges are very
slow (e.g., ~ 209 cycles per page on rp3440). Thus, I think it
beneficial to test the split_tlb variable to avoid duplicate purges.
Probably, all PA 2.0 machines have combined TLBs.
I dropped using __flush_tlb_range in flush_tlb_mm as I realized all
applications and most threads have a stack size that is too large to
make this useful. I added some comments to this effect.
Since implementing 1 through 3, I haven't had any random segmentation
faults on mx3210 (rp3440) in about one week of building code and running
as a Debian buildd.

Pull module_init replacement part one from Paul Gortmaker:
"Replace module_init with equivalent device_initcall in non modules.
This series of commits converts non-modular code that is using the
module_init() call to hook itself into the system to instead use
device_initcall().
The conversion is a runtime no-op, since module_init actually becomes
__initcall in the non-modular case, and that in turn gets mapped onto
device_initcall. A couple files show a larger negative diffstat,
representing ones that had a module_exit function that we remove here
vs previously relying on the linker to dispose of it.
We make this conversion now, so that we can relocate module_init from
init.h into module.h in the future.
The files changed here are just limited to those that would otherwise
have to add module.h to obviously non-modular code, in order to avoid
a compile fail, as testing has shown"

This replaces the plain loop over the sglist array with for_each_sg()
macro which consists of sg_next() function calls. Since parisc doesn't
select ARCH_HAS_SG_CHAIN, it is not necessary to use for_each_sg() in
order to loop over each sg element. But this can help find problems with
drivers that do not properly initialize their sg tables when
CONFIG_DEBUG_SG is enabled.

The perf.c code depends on CONFIG_64BIT, so it is either built-in
or absent. It will never be modular, so using module_init as an
alias for __initcall is rather misleading.
Fix this up now, so that we can relocate module_init from
init.h into module.h in the future. If we don't do this, we'd
have to add module.h to obviously non-modular code, and that
would be a worse thing. Aside from it not making sense, it also
causes a ~10% increase in CPP overhead due to module.h having a
large list of headers itself -- for example compare line counts:
device_initcall() and <linux/init.h>
20238 arch/parisc/kernel/perf.i
module_init() and <linux/module.h>
22194 arch/parisc/kernel/perf.i
Direct use of __initcall is discouraged, vs prioritized ones.
Use of device_initcall is consistent with what __initcall
maps onto, and hence does not change the init order, making the
impact of this change zero. Should someone with real hardware
for boot testing want to change it later to arch_initcall or
something different, they can do that at a later date.

the handler
Introduce faulthandler_disabled() and use it to check for irq context and
disabled pagefaults (via pagefault_disable()) in the pagefault handlers.
Please note that we keep the in_atomic() checks in place - to detect
whether in irq context (in which case preemption is always properly
disabled).
In contrast, preempt_disable() should never be used to disable pagefaults.
With !CONFIG_PREEMPT_COUNT, preempt_disable() doesn't modify the preempt
counter, and therefore the result of in_atomic() differs.
We validate that condition by using might_fault() checks when calling
might_sleep().
Therefore, add a comment to faulthandler_disabled(), describing why this
is needed.
faulthandler_disabled() and pagefault_disable() are defined in
linux/uaccess.h, so let's properly add that include to all relevant files.
This patch is based on a patch from Thomas Gleixner.

architectures
On architectures where the stack grows upwards (CONFIG_STACK_GROWSUP=y,
currently parisc and metag only) stack randomization sometimes leads to crashes
when the stack ulimit is set to lower values than STACK_RND_MASK (which is 8 MB
by default if not defined in arch-specific headers).
The problem is, that when the stack vm_area_struct is set up in fs/exec.c, the
additional space needed for the stack randomization (as defined by the value of
STACK_RND_MASK) was not taken into account yet and as such, when the stack
randomization code added a random offset to the stack start, the stack
effectively got smaller than what the user defined via rlimit_max(RLIMIT_STACK)
which then sometimes leads to out-of-stack situations and crashes.
This patch fixes it by adding the maximum possible amount of memory (based on
STACK_RND_MASK) which theoretically could be added by the stack randomization
code to the initial stack size. That way, the user-defined stack size is always
guaranteed to be at minimum what is defined via rlimit_max(RLIMIT_STACK).
This bug is currently not visible on the metag architecture, because on metag
STACK_RND_MASK is defined to 0 which effectively disables stack randomization.
The changes to fs/exec.c are inside an "#ifdef CONFIG_STACK_GROWSUP"
section, so it does not affect other platformws beside those where the
stack grows upwards (parisc and metag).
