         earlier so that the command line parameters which affect
         early_reserve_memory(), e.g. efi=nosftreserve, are taken into
         account. This was broken when the invocation of
         early_reserve_memory() was moved recently.

      To fix, properly use clear_user() when we're dealing with a user buffer.

      kmap_local: don't assume kmap PTEs are linear arrays in memory · 825c43f5
      Ard Biesheuvel authored
      The kmap_local conversion broke the ARM architecture, because the new
      code assumes that all PTEs used for creating kmaps form a linear array
      in memory, and uses array indexing to look up the kmap PTE belonging to
      a certain kmap index.
      
      On ARM, this cannot work, not only because the PTE pages may be
      non-adjacent in memory, but also because ARM/!LPAE interleaves hardware
      entries and extended entries (carrying software-only bits) in a way that
      is not compatible with array indexing.
      
      Fortunately, this only seems to affect configurations with more than 8
      CPUs, due to the way the per-CPU kmap slots are organized in memory.
      
      Work around this by permitting an architecture to set a Kconfig symbol
      that signifies that the kmap PTEs do not form a lineary array in memory,
      and so the only way to locate the appropriate one is to walk the page
      tables.

      mm/damon/dbgfs: fix missed use of damon_dbgfs_lock · d78f3853
      SeongJae Park authored
      DAMON debugfs is supposed to protect dbgfs_ctxs, dbgfs_nr_ctxs, and
      dbgfs_dirs using damon_dbgfs_lock.  However, some of the code is
      accessing the variables without the protection.  This fixes it by
      protecting all such accesses.

      mm/damon/dbgfs: use '__GFP_NOWARN' for user-specified size buffer allocation · db7a347b
      SeongJae Park authored
      Patch series "DAMON fixes".
      
      This patch (of 2):
      
      DAMON users can trigger below warning in '__alloc_pages()' by invoking
      write() to some DAMON debugfs files with arbitrarily high count
      argument, because DAMON debugfs interface allocates some buffers based
      on the user-specified 'count'.
      
              if (unlikely(order >= MAX_ORDER)) {
                      WARN_ON_ONCE(!(gfp & __GFP_NOWARN));
                      return NULL;
              }
      
      Because the DAMON debugfs interface code checks failure of the
      'kmalloc()', this commit simply suppresses the warnings by adding
      '__GFP_NOWARN' flag.
