There are several early memory allocations in arch/ code that use
memblock_phys_alloc() to allocate memory, convert the returned physical
address to the virtual address and then set the allocated memory to
zero.
Exactly the same behaviour can be achieved simply by calling
memblock_alloc(): it allocates the memory in the same way as
memblock_phys_alloc(), then it performs the phys_to_virt() conversion
and clears the allocated memory.
Replace the longer sequence with a simpler call to memblock_alloc().

Patch series "memblock: simplify several early memory allocation", v4.
These patches simplify some of the early memory allocations by replacing
usage of older memblock APIs with newer and shinier ones.
Quite a few places in the arch/ code allocated memory using a memblock
API that returns a physical address of the allocated area, then
converted this physical address to a virtual one and then used memset(0)
to clear the allocated range.
More recent memblock APIs do all the three steps in one call and their
usage simplifies the code.
It's important to note that regardless of API used, the core allocation
is nearly identical for any set of memblock allocators: first it tries
to find a free memory with all the constraints specified by the caller
and then falls back to the allocation with some or all constraints
disabled.
The first three patches perform the conversion of call sites that have
exact requirements for the node and the possible memory range.
The fourth patch is a bit one-off as it simplifies openrisc's
implementation of pte_alloc_one_kernel(), and not only the memblock
usage.
The fifth patch takes care of simpler cases when the allocation can be
satisfied with a simple call to memblock_alloc().
The sixth patch removes one-liner wrappers for memblock_alloc on arm and
unicore32, as suggested by Christoph.
This patch (of 6):
There are a several places that allocate memory using memblock APIs that
return a physical address, convert the returned address to the virtual
address and frequently also memset(0) the allocated range.
Update these places to use memblock allocators already returning a
virtual address. Use memblock functions that clear the allocated memory
instead of calling memset(0) where appropriate.
The calls to memblock_alloc_base() that were not followed by memset(0)
are replaced with memblock_alloc_try_nid_raw(). Since the latter does
not panic() when the allocation fails, the appropriate panic() calls are
added to the call sites.

Notable changes:
- Enable THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK to move thread_info off the stack.
- A big series from Christoph reworking our DMA code to use more of the generic
infrastructure, as he said:
"This series switches the powerpc port to use the generic swiotlb and
noncoherent dma ops, and to use more generic code for the coherent direct
mapping, as well as removing a lot of dead code."
- Increase our vmalloc space to 512T with the Hash MMU on modern CPUs, allowing
us to support machines with larger amounts of total RAM or distance between
nodes.
- Two series from Christophe, one to optimise TLB miss handlers on 6xx, and
another to optimise the way STRICT_KERNEL_RWX is implemented on some 32-bit
CPUs.
- Support for KCOV coverage instrumentation which means we can run syzkaller
and discover even more bugs in our code.
And as always many clean-ups, reworks and minor fixes etc.

The current code doesn't do page migration if the page allocated is a
compound page. With HugeTLB migration support, we can end up allocating
hugetlb pages from CMA region. Also, THP pages can be allocated from
CMA region. This patch updates the code to handle compound pages
correctly. The patch also switches to a single get_user_pages with the
right count, instead of doing one get_user_pages per page. That avoids
reading page table multiple times. This is done by using
get_user_pages_longterm, because that also takes care of DAX backed
pages.
DAX pages lifetime is dictated by file system rules and as such, we need
to make sure that we free these pages on operations like truncate and
punch hole. If we have long term pin on these pages, which are mostly
return to userspace with elevated page count, the entity holding the
long term pin may not be aware of the fact that file got truncated and
the file system blocks possibly got reused. That can result in
corruption.
The patch also converts the hpas member of mm_iommu_table_group_mem_t to
a union. We use the same storage location to store pointers to struct
page. We cannot update all the code path use struct page *, because we
access hpas in real mode and we can't do that struct page * to pfn
conversion in real mode.

Patch series "Replace all open encodings for NUMA_NO_NODE", v3.
All these places for replacement were found by running the following
grep patterns on the entire kernel code. Please let me know if this
might have missed some instances. This might also have replaced some
false positives. I will appreciate suggestions, inputs and review.
1. git grep "nid == -1"
2. git grep "node == -1"
3. git grep "nid = -1"
4. git grep "node = -1"
This patch (of 2):
At present there are multiple places where invalid node number is
encoded as -1. Even though implicitly understood it is always better to
have macros in there. Replace these open encodings for an invalid node
number with the global macro NUMA_NO_NODE. This helps remove NUMA
related assumptions like 'invalid node' from various places redirecting
them to a common definition.

After we ALIGN up the address we need to make sure we didn't overflow
and resulted in zero address. In that case, we need to make sure that
the returned address is greater than mmap_min_addr.
This fixes selftest va_128TBswitch --run-hugetlb reporting failures when
run as non root user for
mmap(-1, MAP_HUGETLB)
The bug is that a non-root user requesting address -1 will be given address 0
which will then fail, whereas they should have been given something else that
would have succeeded.
We also avoid the first mmap(-1, MAP_HUGETLB) returning NULL address as mmap address
with this change. So we think this is not a security issue, because it only affects
whether we choose an address below mmap_min_addr, not whether we
actually allow that address to be mapped. ie. there are existing capability
checks to prevent a user mapping below mmap_min_addr and those will still be
honoured even without this fix.

Now that thread_info is similar to task_struct, its address is in r2
so CURRENT_THREAD_INFO() macro is useless. This patch removes it.
This patch also moves the 'tovirt(r2, r2)' down just before the
reactivation of MMU translation, so that we keep the physical address
of 'current' in r2 until then. It avoids a few calls to tophys().
At the same time, as the 'cpu' field is not anymore in thread_info,
TI_CPU is renamed TASK_CPU by this patch.
It also allows to get rid of a couple of

This patch implements handling of STRICT_KERNEL_RWX with
large TLBs directly in the TLB miss handlers.
To do so, etext and sinittext are aligned on 512kB boundaries
and the miss handlers use 512kB pages instead of 8Mb pages for
addresses close to the boundaries.
It sets RO PP flags for addresses under sinittext.

Today, STRICT_KERNEL_RWX is based on the use of regular pages
to map kernel pages.
On Book3s 32, it has three consequences:
- Using pages instead of BAT for mapping kernel linear memory severely
impacts performance.
- Exec protection is not effective because no-execute cannot be set at
page level (except on 603 which doesn't have hash tables)
- Write protection is not effective because PP bits do not provide RO
mode for kernel-only pages (except on 603 which handles it in software
via PAGE_DIRTY)
On the 603+, we have:
- Independent IBAT and DBAT allowing limitation of exec parts.
- NX bit can be set in segment registers to forbit execution on memory
mapped by pages.
- RO mode on DBATs even for kernel-only blocks.
On the 601, there is nothing much we can do other than warn the user
about it, because:
- BATs are common to instructions and data.
- BAT do not provide RO mode for kernel-only blocks.
- segment registers don't have the NX bit.
In order to use IBAT for exec protection, this patch:
- Aligns _etext to BAT block sizes (128kb)
- Set NX bit in kernel segment register (Except on vmalloc area when
CONFIG_MODULES is selected)
- Maps kernel text with IBATs.
In order to use DBAT for exec protection, this patch:
- Aligns RW DATA to BAT block sizes (4M)
- Maps kernel RO area with write prohibited DBATs
- Maps remaining memory with remaining DBATs
Here is what we get with this patch on a 832x when activating
STRICT_KERNEL_RWX:

Aligning _etext to 128kb allows to map up to 32Mb text with 8 IBATs:
16Mb + 8Mb + 4Mb + 2Mb + 1Mb + 512kb + 256kb + 128kb (+ 128kb) = 32Mb
(A 9th IBAT is unneeded as 32Mb would need only a single 32Mb block)
Aligning data to 4M allows to map up to 512Mb data with 8 DBATs:
16Mb + 8Mb + 4Mb + 4Mb + 32Mb + 64Mb + 128Mb + 256Mb = 512Mb
Because some processors only have 4 BATs and because some targets need
DBATs for mapping other areas, the following patch will allow to
modify _etext and data alignment.

The slbfee. instruction must have bit 24 of RB clear, failure to do
so can result in false negatives that result in incorrect assertions.
This is not obvious from the ISA v3.0B document, which only says:
The hardware ignores the contents of RB 36:38 40:63 -- p.1032
This patch fixes the bug and also clears all other bits from PPC bit
36-63, which is good practice when dealing with reserved or ignored
bits.

On pseries systems, performing a partition migration can result in
altering the nodes a CPU is assigned to on the destination system. For
exampl, pre-migration on the source system CPUs are in node 1 and 3,
post-migration on the destination system CPUs are in nodes 2 and 3.
Handling the node change for a CPU can cause corruption in the slab
cache if we hit a timing where a CPUs node is changed while cache_reap()
is invoked. The corruption occurs because the slab cache code appears
to rely on the CPU and slab cache pages being on the same node.
The current dynamic updating of a CPUs node done in arch/powerpc/mm/numa.c
does not prevent us from hitting this scenario.
Changing the device tree property update notification handler that
recognizes an affinity change for a CPU to do a full DLPAR remove and
add of the CPU instead of dynamically changing its node resolves this
issue.

Patch series "Add support for fast mremap".
This series speeds up the mremap(2) syscall by copying page tables at
the PMD level even for non-THP systems. There is concern that the extra
'address' argument that mremap passes to pte_alloc may do something
subtle architecture related in the future that may make the scheme not
work. Also we find that there is no point in passing the 'address' to
pte_alloc since its unused. This patch therefore removes this argument
tree-wide resulting in a nice negative diff as well. Also ensuring
along the way that the enabled architectures do not do anything funky
with the 'address' argument that goes unnoticed by the optimization.
Build and boot tested on x86-64. Build tested on arm64. The config
enablement patch for arm64 will be posted in the future after more
testing.
The changes were obtained by applying the following Coccinelle script.
(thanks Julia for answering all Coccinelle questions!).
Following fix ups were done manually:
* Removal of address argument from pte_fragment_alloc
* Removal of pte_alloc_one_fast definitions from m68k and microblaze.

Nobody has actually used the type (VERIFY_READ vs VERIFY_WRITE) argument
of the user address range verification function since we got rid of the
old racy i386-only code to walk page tables by hand.
It existed because the original 80386 would not honor the write protect
bit when in kernel mode, so you had to do COW by hand before doing any
user access. But we haven't supported that in a long time, and these
days the 'type' argument is a purely historical artifact.
A discussion about extending 'user_access_begin()' to do the range
checking resulted this patch, because there is no way we're going to
move the old VERIFY_xyz interface to that model. And it's best done at
the end of the merge window when I've done most of my merges, so let's
just get this done once and for all.
This patch was mostly done with a sed-script, with manual fix-ups for
the cases that weren't of the trivial 'access_ok(VERIFY_xyz' form.
There were a couple of notable cases:
- csky still had the old "verify_area()" name as an alias.
- the iter_iov code had magical hardcoded knowledge of the actual
values of VERIFY_{READ,WRITE} (not that they mattered, since nothing
really used it)
- microblaze used the type argument for a debug printout
but other than those oddities this should be a total no-op patch.
I tried to fix up all architectures, did fairly extensive grepping for
access_ok() uses, and the changes are trivial, but I may have missed
something. Any missed conversion should be trivially fixable, though.
