commit 994870bead4ab19087a79492400a5478e2906196 upstream.

When an inline assembly operand's type is narrower than the register it
is allocated to, the least significant bits of the register (up to the
operand type's width) are valid, and any other bits are permitted to
contain any arbitrary value. This aligns with the AAPCS64 parameter
passing rules.

Our __smp_store_release() implementation does not account for this, and
implicitly assumes that operands have been zero-extended to the width of
the type being stored to. Thus, we may store unknown values to memory
when the value type is narrower than the pointer type (e.g. when storing
a char to a long).

This patch fixes the issue by casting the value operand to the same
width as the pointer operand in all cases, which ensures that the value
is zero-extended as we expect. We use the same union trickery as
__smp_load_acquire and {READ,WRITE}_ONCE() to avoid GCC complaining that
pointers are potentially cast to narrower width integers in unreachable
paths.

A whitespace issue at the top of __smp_store_release() is also
corrected.

No changes are necessary for __smp_load_acquire(). Load instructions
implicitly clear any upper bits of the register, and the compiler will
only consider the least significant bits of the register as valid
regardless.

commit 276e93279a630657fff4b086ba14c95955912dfa upstream.

When handling a data abort from EL0, we currently zero the top byte of
the faulting address, as we assume the address is a TTBR0 address, which
may contain a non-zero address tag. However, the address may be a TTBR1
address, in which case we should not zero the top byte. This patch fixes
that. The effect is that the full TTBR1 address is passed to the task's
signal handler (or printed out in the kernel log).

When handling a data abort from EL1, we leave the faulting address
intact, as we assume it's either a TTBR1 address or a TTBR0 address with
tag 0x00. This is true as far as I'm aware, we don't seem to access a
tagged TTBR0 address anywhere in the kernel. Regardless, it's easy to
forget about address tags, and code added in the future may not always
remember to remove tags from addresses before accessing them. So add tag
handling to the EL1 data abort handler as well. This also makes it
consistent with the EL0 data abort handler.

<title>arm64: hw_breakpoint: fix watchpoint matching for tagged pointers</title>

commit 7dcd9dd8cebe9fa626af7e2358d03a37041a70fb upstream.

When we take a watchpoint exception, the address that triggered the
watchpoint is found in FAR_EL1. We compare it to the address of each
configured watchpoint to see which one was hit.

The configured watchpoint addresses are untagged, while the address in
FAR_EL1 will have an address tag if the data access was done using a
tagged address. The tag needs to be removed to compare the address to
the watchpoints.

Currently we don't remove it, and as a result can report the wrong
watchpoint as being hit (specifically, always either the highest TTBR0
watchpoint or lowest TTBR1 watchpoint). This patch removes the tag.

commit a06040d7a791a9177581dcf7293941bd92400856 upstream.

Our access_ok() simply hands its arguments over to __range_ok(), which
implicitly assummes that the addr parameter is 64 bits wide. This isn't
necessarily true for compat code, which might pass down a 32-bit address
parameter.

In these cases, we don't have a guarantee that the address has been zero
extended to 64 bits, and the upper bits of the register may contain
unknown values, potentially resulting in a suprious failure.

Avoid this by explicitly casting the addr parameter to an unsigned long
(as is done on other architectures), ensuring that the parameter is
widened appropriately.

[ Upstream commit 872c63fbf9e153146b07f0cece4da0d70b283eeb ]

smp_mb__before_spinlock() is intended to upgrade a spin_lock() operation
to a full barrier, such that prior stores are ordered with respect to
loads and stores occuring inside the critical section.

Unfortunately, the core code defines the barrier as smp_wmb(), which
is insufficient to provide the required ordering guarantees when used in
conjunction with our load-acquire-based spinlock implementation.

This patch overrides the arm64 definition of smp_mb__before_spinlock()
to map to a full smp_mb().

[ Upstream commit 5bb1cc0ff9a6b68871970737e6c4c16919928d8b ]

Currently, pmd_present() only checks for a non-zero value, returning
true even after pmd_mknotpresent() (which only clears the type bits).
This patch converts pmd_present() to using pte_present(), similar to the
other pmd_*() checks. As a side effect, it will return true for
PROT_NONE mappings, though they are not yet used by the kernel with
transparent huge pages.

For consistency, also change pmd_mknotpresent() to only clear the
PMD_SECT_VALID bit, even though the PMD_TABLE_BIT is already 0 for block
mappings (no functional change). The unused PMD_SECT_PROT_NONE
definition is removed as transparent huge pages use the pte page prot
values.

[ Upstream commit 5bb1cc0ff9a6b68871970737e6c4c16919928d8b ]

Currently, pmd_present() only checks for a non-zero value, returning
true even after pmd_mknotpresent() (which only clears the type bits).
This patch converts pmd_present() to using pte_present(), similar to the
other pmd_*() checks. As a side effect, it will return true for
PROT_NONE mappings, though they are not yet used by the kernel with
transparent huge pages.

For consistency, also change pmd_mknotpresent() to only clear the
PMD_SECT_VALID bit, even though the PMD_TABLE_BIT is already 0 for block
mappings (no functional change). The unused PMD_SECT_PROT_NONE
definition is removed as transparent huge pages use the pte page prot
values.

[ Upstream commit c164e038eee805147e95789dddb88ae3b3aca11c ]

As a small zero page, huge zero page should not be accounted in smaps
report as normal page.

For small pages we rely on vm_normal_page() to filter out zero page, but
vm_normal_page() is not designed to handle pmds.  We only get here due
hackish cast pmd to pte in smaps_pte_range() -- pte and pmd format is not
necessary compatible on each and every architecture.

Let's add separate codepath to handle pmds.  follow_trans_huge_pmd() will
detect huge zero page for us.

We would need pmd_dirty() helper to do this properly.  The patch adds it
to THP-enabled architectures which don't yet have one.

<title>arm64: account for sparsemem section alignment when choosing vmemmap offset</title>

[ Upstream commit 36e5cd6b897e17d03008f81e075625d8e43e52d0 ]

Commit dfd55ad85e4a ("arm64: vmemmap: use virtual projection of linear
region") fixed an issue where the struct page array would overflow into the
adjacent virtual memory region if system RAM was placed so high up in
physical memory that its addresses were not representable in the build time
configured virtual address size.

However, the fix failed to take into account that the vmemmap region needs
to be relatively aligned with respect to the sparsemem section size, so that
a sequence of page structs corresponding with a sparsemem section in the
linear region appears naturally aligned in the vmemmap region.

So round up vmemmap to sparsemem section size. Since this essentially moves
the projection of the linear region up in memory, also revert the reduction
of the size of the vmemmap region.

[ Upstream commit dfd55ad85e4a7fbaa82df12467515ac3c81e8a3e ]

Commit dd006da21646 ("arm64: mm: increase VA range of identity map") made
some changes to the memory mapping code to allow physical memory to reside
at an offset that exceeds the size of the virtual mapping.

However, since the size of the vmemmap area is proportional to the size of
the VA area, but it is populated relative to the physical space, we may
end up with the struct page array being mapped outside of the vmemmap
region. For instance, on my Seattle A0 box, I can see the following output
in the dmesg log.

   vmemmap : 0xffffffbdc0000000 - 0xffffffbfc0000000   (     8 GB maximum)
             0xffffffbfc0000000 - 0xffffffbfd0000000   (   256 MB actual)

We can fix this by deciding that the vmemmap region is not a projection of
the physical space, but of the virtual space above PAGE_OFFSET, i.e., the
linear region. This way, we are guaranteed that the vmemmap region is of
sufficient size, and we can even reduce the size by half.
