vm: add VM_FAULT_SIGSEGV handling support

2015-02-06T06:36:01+00:00

commit 33692f27597fcab536d7cbbcc8f52905133e4aa7 upstream.

The core VM already knows about VM_FAULT_SIGBUS, but cannot return a
"you should SIGSEGV" error, because the SIGSEGV case was generally
handled by the caller - usually the architecture fault handler.

That results in lots of duplication - all the architecture fault
handlers end up doing very similar "look up vma, check permissions, do
retries etc" - but it generally works.  However, there are cases where
the VM actually wants to SIGSEGV, and applications _expect_ SIGSEGV.

In particular, when accessing the stack guard page, libsigsegv expects a
SIGSEGV.  And it usually got one, because the stack growth is handled by
that duplicated architecture fault handler.

However, when the generic VM layer started propagating the error return
from the stack expansion in commit fee7e49d4514 ("mm: propagate error
from stack expansion even for guard page"), that now exposed the
existing VM_FAULT_SIGBUS result to user space.  And user space really
expected SIGSEGV, not SIGBUS.

To fix that case, we need to add a VM_FAULT_SIGSEGV, and teach all those
duplicate architecture fault handlers about it.  They all already have
the code to handle SIGSEGV, so it's about just tying that new return
value to the existing code, but it's all a bit annoying.

This is the mindless minimal patch to do this.  A more extensive patch
would be to try to gather up the mostly shared fault handling logic into
one generic helper routine, and long-term we really should do that
cleanup.

Just from this patch, you can generally see that most architectures just
copied (directly or indirectly) the old x86 way of doing things, but in
the meantime that original x86 model has been improved to hold the VM
semaphore for shorter times etc and to handle VM_FAULT_RETRY and other
"newer" things, so it would be a good idea to bring all those
improvements to the generic case and teach other architectures about
them too.

xtensa: support highmem in aliasing cache flushing code

2014-08-14T07:59:23+00:00

Use __flush_invalidate_dcache_page_alias with alias set to color of the
page physical address instead of __flush_invalidate_dcache_page: this
works for high memory pages and mapping/unmapping to the TLBTEMP area is
virtually free.

Allow building configurations with aliasing cache and highmem enabled.

xtensa: support aliasing cache in kmap

2014-08-14T07:59:22+00:00

Define ARCH_PKMAP_COLORING and provide corresponding macro definitions
on cores with aliasing data cache.

Instead of single last_pkmap_nr maintain an array last_pkmap_nr_arr of
pkmap counters for each page color. Make sure that kmap maps physical
page at virtual address with color matching its physical address.

xtensa: support aliasing cache in k[un]map_atomic

2014-08-14T07:59:21+00:00

Map high memory pages at virtual addresses with color that match color
of their physical address. Existing cache alias management mechanisms
may be used with such pages.

xtensa: implement clear_user_highpage and copy_user_highpage

2014-08-14T07:59:20+00:00

Existing clear_user_page and copy_user_page cannot be used with highmem
because they calculate physical page address from its virtual address
and do it incorrectly in case of high memory page mapped with
kmap_atomic. Also kmap is not needed, as most likely userspace mapping
color would be different from the kmapped color.

Provide clear_user_highpage and copy_user_highpage functions that
determine if temporary mapping is needed for the pages. Move most of the
logic of the former clear_user_page and copy_user_page to
xtensa/mm/cache.c only leaving temporary mapping setup, invalidation and
clearing/copying in the xtensa/mm/misc.S. Rename these functions to
clear_page_alias and copy_page_alias.

xtensa: allow fixmap and kmap span more than one page table

2014-08-14T07:59:18+00:00

To support aliasing cache both kmap region sizes are multiplied by the
number of data cache colors. After that expansion page tables that cover
kmap regions may become larger than one page. Correctly allocate and
initialize page tables in this case.

xtensa: make fixmap region addressing grow with index

2014-08-14T07:59:17+00:00

It's much easier to reason about alignment and coloring of regions
located in the fixmap when fixmap index is just a PFN within the fixmap
region. Change fixmap addressing so that index 0 corresponds to
FIXADDR_START instead of the FIXADDR_TOP.

xtensa: fix sysmem reservation at the end of existing block

2014-06-09T18:29:12+00:00

When sysmem reservation occurs exactly at the end of an existing block
that block is deleted, because it is incorrectly included in the range
of memblocks to remove. Fix that by skipping such block.

xtensa: add HIGHMEM support

2014-04-06T17:29:21+00:00

Introduce fixmap area just below the vmalloc region. Use it for atomic
mapping of high memory pages.
High memory on cores with cache aliasing is not supported and is still
to be implemented. Fail build for such configurations for now.

Don't flush whole TLB if only a small kernel range is requested.
