commit 8926d88ced46700bf6117ceaf391480b943ea9f4 upstream.

The get_user()/put_user() functions are meant to check for
access_ok(), while the __get_user()/__put_user() functions
don't.

This broke in 4.19 for nds32, when it gained an extraneous
check in __get_user(), but lost the check it needs in
__put_user().

Fixes: 487913ab18c2 ("nds32: Extract the checking and getting pointer to a macro")

<title>perf: Protect perf_guest_cbs with RCU</title>

<content type='text'>
commit ff083a2d972f56bebfd82409ca62e5dfce950961 upstream.

Protect perf_guest_cbs with RCU to fix multiple possible errors.  Luckily,
all paths that read perf_guest_cbs already require RCU protection, e.g. to
protect the callback chains, so only the direct perf_guest_cbs touchpoints
need to be modified.

Bug #1 is a simple lack of WRITE_ONCE/READ_ONCE behavior to ensure
perf_guest_cbs isn't reloaded between a !NULL check and a dereference.
Fixed via the READ_ONCE() in rcu_dereference().

Bug #2 is that on weakly-ordered architectures, updates to the callbacks
themselves are not guaranteed to be visible before the pointer is made
visible to readers.  Fixed by the smp_store_release() in
rcu_assign_pointer() when the new pointer is non-NULL.

Bug #3 is that, because the callbacks are global, it's possible for
readers to run in parallel with an unregisters, and thus a module
implementing the callbacks can be unloaded while readers are in flight,
resulting in a use-after-free.  Fixed by a synchronize_rcu() call when
unregistering callbacks.

Bug #1 escaped notice because it's extremely unlikely a compiler will
reload perf_guest_cbs in this sequence.  perf_guest_cbs does get reloaded
for future derefs, e.g. for -&gt;is_user_mode(), but the -&gt;is_in_guest()
guard all but guarantees the consumer will win the race, e.g. to nullify
perf_guest_cbs, KVM has to completely exit the guest and teardown down
all VMs before KVM start its module unload / unregister sequence.  This
also makes it all but impossible to encounter bug #3.

Bug #2 has not been a problem because all architectures that register
callbacks are strongly ordered and/or have a static set of callbacks.

But with help, unloading kvm_intel can trigger bug #1 e.g. wrapping
perf_guest_cbs with READ_ONCE in perf_misc_flags() while spamming
kvm_intel module load/unload leads to:

commit c453db6cd96418c79702eaf38259002755ab23ff upstream.

Commit 1be7107fbe18 ("mm: larger stack guard gap, between vmas") fixed
up all architectures to deal with the stack guard gap.  But when nds32
was added to the tree, it forgot to do the same thing.

Resolve this by properly fixing up the nsd32's version of
arch_get_unmapped_area()

Both pgtable_cache_init() and pgd_cache_init() are used to initialize kmem
cache for page table allocations on several architectures that do not use
PAGE_SIZE tables for one or more levels of the page table hierarchy.

Most architectures do not implement these functions and use __weak default
NOP implementation of pgd_cache_init().  Since there is no such default
for pgtable_cache_init(), its empty stub is duplicated among most
architectures.

Rename the definitions of pgd_cache_init() to pgtable_cache_init() and
drop empty stubs of pgtable_cache_init().

Both pgtable_cache_init() and pgd_cache_init() are used to initialize kmem
cache for page table allocations on several architectures that do not use
PAGE_SIZE tables for one or more levels of the page table hierarchy.

NOP implementation of pgd_cache_init().  Since there is no such default

Patch series "mm: remove quicklist page table caches".

A while ago Nicholas proposed to remove quicklist page table caches [1].

I've rebased his patch on the curren upstream and switched ia64 and sh to
use generic versions of PTE allocation.

[1] https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20190711030339.20892-1-npiggin@gmail.com

This patch (of 3):

Remove page table allocator "quicklists".  These have been around for a
long time, but have not got much traction in the last decade and are only
used on ia64 and sh architectures.

The numbers in the initial commit look interesting but probably don't
apply anymore.  If anybody wants to resurrect this it's in the git
history, but it's unhelpful to have this code and divergent allocator
behaviour for minor archs.

Also it might be better to instead make more general improvements to page
allocator if this is still so slow.

The memory allocated for the atomic pool needs to have the same
mapping attributes that we use for remapping, so use
pgprot_dmacoherent instead of open coding it.  Also deduct a
suitable zone to allocate the memory from based on the presence
of the DMA zones.
