      mm: add missing __PAGETABLE_{PUD,PMD}_FOLDED defines · c07af4f1
      Kirill A. Shutemov authored 
      

Core mm expects __PAGETABLE_{PUD,PMD}_FOLDED to be defined if these page
table levels folded.  Usually, these defines are provided by
<asm-generic/pgtable-nopmd.h> and <asm-generic/pgtable-nopud.h>.

But some architectures fold page table levels in a custom way.  They
need to define these macros themself.  This patch adds missing defines.

The patch fixes mm->nr_pmds underflow and eliminates dead __pmd_alloc()
and __pud_alloc() on architectures without these page table levels.

      arm64: Fix text patching logic when using fixmap · f6242cac
      Marc Zyngier authored 
      Patch 2f896d58

 ("arm64: use fixmap for text patching") changed
the way we patch the kernel text, using a fixmap when the kernel or
modules are flagged as read only.

Unfortunately, a flaw in the logic makes it fall over when patching
modules without CONFIG_DEBUG_SET_MODULE_RONX enabled:

[...]
[   32.032636] Call trace:
[   32.032716] [<fffffe00003da0dc>] __copy_to_user+0x2c/0x60

[   32.034044] [<fffffe0000135714>] SyS_finit_module+0x94/0xc4
[...]

This is triggered by the use of virt_to_page() on a module address,
which ends to pointing to Nowhereland if you're lucky, or corrupt
your precious data if not.

This patch fixes the logic by mimicking what is done on arm:
- If we're patching a module and CONFIG_DEBUG_SET_MODULE_RONX is set,
  use vmalloc_to_page().
- If we're patching the kernel and CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA is set,
  use virt_to_page().
- Otherwise, use the provided address, as we can write to it directly.

Tested on 4.0-rc1 as a KVM guest.

      arm64: crypto: increase AES interleave to 4x · 0eee0fbd
      Ard Biesheuvel authored 
      

This patch increases the interleave factor for parallel AES modes
to 4x. This improves performance on Cortex-A57 by ~35%. This is
due to the 3-cycle latency of AES instructions on the A57's
relatively deep pipeline (compared to Cortex-A53 where the AES
instruction latency is only 2 cycles).

At the same time, disable inline expansion of the core AES functions,
as the performance benefit of this feature is negligible.

  Measured on AMD Seattle (using tcrypt.ko mode=500 sec=1):

  Baseline (2x interleave, inline expansion)
  ------------------------------------------
  testing speed of async cbc(aes) (cbc-aes-ce) decryption
  test 4 (128 bit key, 8192 byte blocks): 95545 operations in 1 seconds
  test 14 (256 bit key, 8192 byte blocks): 68496 operations in 1 seconds

  This patch (4x interleave, no inline expansion)
  -----------------------------------------------
  testing speed of async cbc(aes) (cbc-aes-ce) decryption

      arm64: enable PTE type bit in the mask for pte_modify · 6910fa16
      Feng Kan authored 
      

Caught during Trinity testing. The pte_modify does not allow
modification for PTE type bit. This cause the test to hang
the system. It is found that the PTE can't transit from an
inaccessible page (b00) to a valid page (b11) because the mask
does not allow it. This happens when a big block of mmaped
memory is set the PROT_NONE, then the a small piece is broken
off and set to PROT_WRITE | PROT_READ cause a huge page split.

      arm64: psci: move psci firmware calls out of line · f5e0a12c
      Will Deacon authored 
      

An arm64 allmodconfig fails to build with GCC 5 due to __asmeq
assertions in the PSCI firmware calling code firing due to mcount
preambles breaking our assumptions about register allocation of function
arguments:

  /tmp/ccDqJsJ6.s: Assembler messages:
  /tmp/ccDqJsJ6.s:60: Error: .err encountered
  /tmp/ccDqJsJ6.s:61: Error: .err encountered

  /tmp/ccDqJsJ6.s:100: Error: .err encountered
  /tmp/ccDqJsJ6.s:101: Error: .err encountered

This patch fixes the issue by moving the PSCI calls out-of-line into
their own assembly files, which are safe from the compiler's meddling
fingers.

      arm64: vdso: minor ABI fix for clock_getres · e1b6b6ce
      Nathan Lynch authored 
      

The vdso implementation of clock_getres currently returns 0 (success)
whenever a null timespec is provided by the caller, regardless of the
clock id supplied.

This behavior is incorrect.  It should fall back to syscall when an
unrecognized clock id is passed, even when the timespec argument is
null.  This ensures that clock_getres always returns an error for
invalid clock ids.

      metag: Fix KSTK_EIP() and KSTK_ESP() macros · c2996cb2
      James Hogan authored 
      

The KSTK_EIP() and KSTK_ESP() macros should return the user program
counter (PC) and stack pointer (A0StP) of the given task. These are used
to determine which VMA corresponds to the user stack in
/proc/<pid>/maps, and for the user PC & A0StP in /proc/<pid>/stat.

However for Meta the PC & A0StP from the task's kernel context are used,
resulting in broken output. For example in following /proc/<pid>/maps
output, the 3afff000-3b021000 VMA should be described as the stack:

  # cat /proc/self/maps
  ...
  100b0000-100b1000 rwxp 00000000 00:00 0          [heap]
  3afff000-3b021000 rwxp 00000000 00:00 0

And in the following /proc/<pid>/stat output, the PC is in kernel code
(1074234964 = 0x40078654) and the A0StP is in the kernel heap
(1335981392 = 0x4fa17550):

  # cat /proc/self/stat
  51 (cat) R ... 1335981392 1074234964 ...

Fix the definitions of KSTK_EIP() and KSTK_ESP() to use
task_pt_regs(tsk)->ctx rather than (tsk)->thread.kernel_context. This
gets the registers from the user context stored after the thread info at
the base of the kernel stack, which is from the last entry into the
kernel from userland, regardless of where in the kernel the task may
have been interrupted, which results in the following more correct
/proc/<pid>/maps output:

  # cat /proc/self/maps
  ...
  0800b000-08070000 r-xp 00000000 00:02 207        /lib/libuClibc-0.9.34-git.so
  ...
  100b0000-100b1000 rwxp 00000000 00:00 0          [heap]
  3afff000-3b021000 rwxp 00000000 00:00 0          [stack]

And /proc/<pid>/stat now correctly reports the PC in libuClibc
(134320308 = 0x80190b4) and the A0StP in the [stack] region (989864576 =
0x3b002280):

  # cat /proc/self/stat
  51 (cat) R ... 989864576 134320308 ...
