Peter Zijlstra 20273941f2 mm: fix race in kunmap_atomic()
Christoph reported a nice splat which illustrated a race in the new stack
based kmap_atomic implementation.

The problem is that we pop our stack slot before we're completely done
resetting its state -- in particular clearing the PTE (sometimes that's
CONFIG_DEBUG_HIGHMEM).  If an interrupt happens before we actually clear
the PTE used for the last slot, that interrupt can reuse the slot in a
dirty state, which triggers a BUG in kmap_atomic().

Fix this by introducing kmap_atomic_idx() which reports the current slot
index without actually releasing it and use that to find the PTE and delay
the _pop() until after we're completely done.

Peter Zijlstra 3e4d3af501 mm: stack based kmap_atomic()
Keep the current interface but ignore the KM_type and use a stack based
approach.

The advantage is that we get rid of crappy code like:

	#define __KM_PTE			\
		(in_nmi() ? KM_NMI_PTE : 	\
		 in_irq() ? KM_IRQ_PTE :	\
		 KM_PTE0)

and in general can stop worrying about what context we're in and what kmap
slots might be appropriate for that.

The downside is that FRV kmap_atomic() gets more expensive.

For now we use a CPP trick suggested by Andrew:

  #define kmap_atomic(page, args...) __kmap_atomic(page)

to avoid having to touch all kmap_atomic() users in a single patch.

Yinghai Lu c7fc2de0c8 memblock, bootmem: Round pfn properly for memory and reserved regions
We need to round memory regions correctly -- specifically, we need to
round reserved region in the more expansive direction (lower limit
down, upper limit up) whereas usable memory regions need to be rounded
in the more restrictive direction (lower limit up, upper limit down).

This introduces two set of inlines:

	memblock_region_memory_base_pfn()
	memblock_region_memory_end_pfn()
	memblock_region_reserved_base_pfn()
	memblock_region_reserved_end_pfn()

Although they are antisymmetric (and therefore are technically
duplicates) the use of the different inlines explicitly documents the
programmer's intention.

The lack of proper rounding caused a bug on ARM, which was then found
to also affect other architectures.

Will Deacon c4e259c859 ARM: 6386/1: flush_ptrace_access: invalidate correct I-cache alias
copy_to_user_page can be used by access_process_vm to write to an
executable page of a process using a mapping acquired by kmap.
For systems with I-cache aliasing, flushing the I-cache using the
Kernel mapping may leave stale data in the I-cache if the user
mapping is of a different colour.

This patch introduces a flush_icache_alias function to flush.c,
which calls flush_icache_range with a mapping of the specified
colour. flush_ptrace_access is then modified to call this new
function instead of coherent_kern_range in the case of an aliasing
I-cache and a non-aliasing D-cache.

Russell King f00ec48fad ARM: Allow SMP kernels to boot on UP systems
UP systems do not implement all the instructions that SMP systems have,
so in order to boot a SMP kernel on a UP system, we need to rewrite
parts of the kernel.

Do this using an 'alternatives' scheme, where the kernel code and data
is modified prior to initialization to replace the SMP instructions,
thereby rendering the problematical code ineffectual.  We use the linker
to generate a list of 32-bit word locations and their replacement values,
and run through these replacements when we detect a UP system.

Nicolas Pitre 2f27bf834e ARM: 6401/1: plug a race in the alignment trap handler
When the policy for user space is to ignore misaligned accesses from user
space, the processor then performs a documented rotation on the accessed
data.  This is the result of the access being trapped, and the kernel
disabling the alignment trap before returning to user space again.

In kernel space we always want misaligned accesses to be fixed up.  This
is enforced by always re-enabling the alignment trap on every entry into
kernel space from user space.  No such re-enabling is performed when an
exception occurs while already in kernel space as the alignment trap is
always supposed to be enabled in that case.

There is however a small race window when a misaligned access in user
space is trapped and the alignment trap disabled, but the CPU didn't
return to user space just yet.  Any exception would be entered from kernel
space at that point and the kernel would then execute with the alignment
trap disabled.

Thanks to Maxime Bizon <mbizon@freebox.fr> for providing a test module
that made this issue reproducible.

Access to SO mappings when the unaligned accesses are handled in

The /dev/mem driver requires uncached mappings with O_SYNC. The patch

Normal Noncacheable (writecombine) if O_SYNC.

Catalin Marinas 6012191aa9 ARM: 6380/1: Introduce __sync_icache_dcache() for VIPT caches
On SMP systems, there is a small chance of a PTE becoming visible to a
different CPU before the current cache maintenance operations in
update_mmu_cache(). To avoid this, cache maintenance must be handled in
set_pte_at() (similar to IA-64 and PowerPC).

This patch provides a unified VIPT cache handling mechanism and
implements the __sync_icache_dcache() function for ARMv6 onwards
architectures. It is called from set_pte_at() and replaces the
update_mmu_cache(). The latter is still used on VIVT hardware where a
vm_area_struct is required.

| problem to the following snippet, which is run from a kthread in a
| continuous loop:
|
|   void *virtAddr;
|   dma_addr_t physAddr;
|   unsigned int numBytes = 256;
|
|   for (;;) {
|       virtAddr = dma_alloc_writecombine(NULL,
|             numBytes, &physAddr, GFP_KERNEL);
|       if (virtAddr == NULL) {
|          printk(KERN_ERR "Running out of memory\n");
|          break;
|       }
|
|       /* access DMA memory allocated */
|       tmp = virtAddr;
|       *tmp = 0x77;
|
|       /* free DMA memory */
|       dma_free_writecombine(NULL,
|             numBytes, virtAddr, physAddr);
|
|         ...sleep here...
|     }
|
| By itself, the code will run forever with no issues. However, as we
| increase our bus traffic (typically using DMA) then the *tmp = 0x77
| line will eventually cause a page fault. If we add a small delay (a
| few microseconds) before the *tmp = 0x77, then we don't see a page
| fault, even under heavy load.

A dsb() is required after modifying the PTE entries to ensure that they
will always be visible.  Add this dsb().

Will Deacon 3a4b5dca53 ARM: 6355/1: hw-breakpoint: add mechanism for hooking into prefetch aborts
On ARM processors with hardware breakpoint and watchpoint support,
triggering these events results in a debug exception. These manifest
as prefetch and data aborts respectively.

arch/arm/mm/fault.c already provides hook_fault_code for hooking
into data aborts dependent on the DFSR. This patch adds a new function,
hook_ifault_code for hooking into prefetch aborts in the same manner.

Cesar Eduardo Barros 597781f3e5 kmap_atomic: make kunmap_atomic() harder to misuse
kunmap_atomic() is currently at level -4 on Rusty's "Hard To Misuse"
list[1] ("Follow common convention and you'll get it wrong"), except in
some architectures when CONFIG_DEBUG_HIGHMEM is set[2][3].

kunmap() takes a pointer to a struct page; kunmap_atomic(), however, takes
takes a pointer to within the page itself.  This seems to once in a while
trip people up (the convention they are following is the one from
kunmap()).

Make it much harder to misuse, by moving it to level 9 on Rusty's list[4]
("The compiler/linker won't let you get it wrong").  This is done by
refusing to build if the type of its first argument is a pointer to a
struct page.

The real kunmap_atomic() is renamed to kunmap_atomic_notypecheck()
(which is what you would call in case for some strange reason calling it
with a pointer to a struct page is not incorrect in your code).

The previous version of this patch was compile tested on x86-64.

[1] http://ozlabs.org/~rusty/index.cgi/tech/2008-04-01.html
[2] In these cases, it is at level 5, "Do it right or it will always
    break at runtime."
[3] At least mips and powerpc look very similar, and sparc also seems to
    share a common ancestor with both; there seems to be quite some
    degree of copy-and-paste coding here. The include/asm/highmem.h file
    for these three archs mention x86 CPUs at its top.
[4] http://ozlabs.org/~rusty/index.cgi/tech/2008-03-30.html
[5] As an aside, could someone tell me why mn10300 uses unsigned long as
    the first parameter of kunmap_atomic() instead of void *?

Benjamin Herrenschmidt 5e6f6aa1c2 memblock/arm: pfn_valid uses memblock_is_memory()
The implementation is pretty much similar. There is a -small- added
overhead by having another function call and the address shift.

If that becomes a concern, I suppose we could actually have memblock
itself expose a memblock_pfn_valid() which then ARM can use directly
with an appropriate #define...

Gary King 831e8047eb ARM: 6279/1: highmem: fix SMP preemption bug in kmap_high_l1_vipt
smp_processor_id() must not be called from a preemptible context (this
is checked by CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT).  kmap_high_l1_vipt() was doing so.
This lead to a problem where the wrong per_cpu kmap_high_l1_vipt_depth
could be incremented, causing a BUG_ON(*depth <= 0); in
kunmap_high_l1_vipt().

The solution is to move the call to smp_processor_id() after the call
to preempt_disable().

This patch is in preparation for a subsequent patch which adds barriers
to the I/O accessors. Since the mandatory barriers may do an L2 cache
sync, this patch avoids a recursive call into l2x0_cache_sync() via the
write*() accessors and wmb() and a call into l2x0_cache_sync() with the
l2x0_lock held.
