Pull ARM SoC driver updates from Arnd Bergmann:
 "There are a couple of subsystems maintained by other people that merge
  their drivers through the SoC tree, those changes include:

   - The SCMI firmware framework gains support for sensor notifications
     and for controlling voltage domains.

   - A large update for the Tegra memory controller driver, integrating
     it better with the interconnect framework

   - The memory controller subsystem gains support for Mediatek MT8192

   - The reset controller framework gains support for sharing pulsed
     resets

  For Soc specific drivers in drivers/soc, the main changes are

   - The Allwinner/sunxi MBUS gets a rework for the way it handles
     dma_map_ops and offsets between physical and dma address spaces.

   - An errata fix plus some cleanups for Freescale Layerscape SoCs

   - A cleanup for renesas drivers regarding MMIO accesses.

   - New SoC specific drivers for Mediatek MT8192 and MT8183 power
     domains

   - New SoC specific drivers for Aspeed AST2600 LPC bus control and SoC
     identification.

   - Core Power Domain support for Qualcomm MSM8916, MSM8939, SDM660 and
     SDX55.

   - A rework of the TI AM33xx 'genpd' power domain support to use
     information from DT instead of platform data

   - Support for TI AM64x SoCs

   - Allow building some Amlogic drivers as modules instead of built-in

  Finally, there are numerous cleanups and smaller bug fixes for
  Mediatek, Tegra, Samsung, Qualcomm, TI OMAP, Amlogic, Rockchips,
  Renesas, and Xilinx SoCs"

     mt8516 in the cpufreq-dt-platdev driver (Fabien Parent).

   - Modify the tegra194 cpufreq driver to always return values from the
     frequency table as the current frequency and clean up that driver
     (Sumit Gupta, Jon Hunter).

   - Modify the arm_scmi cpufreq driver to allow it to discover the
     power scale present in the performance protocol and provide this
     information to the Energy Model (Lukasz Luba).

   - Add missing MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE to several cpufreq drivers (Pali
     Rohár).

   - Clean up the CPPC cpufreq driver (Ionela Voinescu).

   - Fix NVMEM_IMX_OCOTP dependency in the imx cpufreq driver (Arnd
     Bergmann).

   - Enable suspend-to-idle for PSCI OSI mode in the PSCI cpuidle driver
     (Ulf Hansson).

   - Modify the OPP framework to support empty (node-less) OPP tables in
     DT for passing dependency information (Nicola Mazzucato).

   - Fix potential lockdep issue in the OPP core and clean up the OPP
     core (Viresh Kumar).

   - Modify dev_pm_opp_put_regulators() to accept a NULL argument and
     update its users accordingly (Viresh Kumar).

     sysfs file permissions depend on the governor and clean up the
     devfreq core (Chanwoo Choi).

   - Clean up the tegra20 devfreq driver and deprecate it to allow
     another driver based on EMC_STAT to be used instead of it (Dmitry
     Osipenko).

   - Add interconnect support to the tegra30 devfreq driver, allow it to
     take the interconnect and OPP information from DT and clean it up
     (Dmitry Osipenko).

   - Add interconnect support to the exynos-bus devfreq driver along
     with interconnect properties documentation (Sylwester Nawrocki).

   - Add suport for AMD Fam17h and Fam19h processors to the RAPL power
     capping driver (Victor Ding, Kim Phillips).

   - Fix handling of overly long constraint names in the powercap
     framework (Lukasz Luba).

   - Fix the wakeup configuration handling for bridges in the ACPI
     device power management core (Rafael Wysocki).

   - Add support for using an abstract scale for power units in the
     Energy Model (EM) and document it (Lukasz Luba).

   - Add em_cpu_energy() micro-optimization to the EM (Pavankumar
     Kondeti).

     power off to avoid confusing the platform firmware (Kai-Heng Feng).

     and cpupower (online and offline CPU information support) PM
     utilities (Todd Brandt, Brahadambal Srinivasan)"

     another driver based on EMC_STAT to be used instead of it (Dmitry
     Osipenko).

   - Add interconnect support to the tegra30 devfreq driver, allow it to
     take the interconnect and OPP information from DT and clean it up
     (Dmitry Osipenko).

     framework (Lukasz Luba).

   - Fix the wakeup configuration handling for bridges in the ACPI
     device power management core (Rafael Wysocki).

   - Add support for using an abstract scale for power units in the
     Energy Model (EM) and document it (Lukasz Luba).

   - Add em_cpu_energy() micro-optimization to the EM (Pavankumar
     Kondeti).

   - Modify the generic power domains (genpd) framwework to support
     suspend-to-idle (Ulf Hansson).

   - Fix creation of debugfs nodes in genpd (Thierry Strudel).

   - Clean up genpd (Lina Iyer).

   - Clean up the core system-wide suspend code and make it print driver
     flags for devices with debug enabled (Alex Shi, Patrice Chotard,
     Chen Yu).

   - Modify the ACPI system reboot code to make it prepare for system
     power off to avoid confusing the platform firmware (Kai-Heng Feng).

   - Update the pm-graph (multiple changes, mostly usability-related)
     and cpupower (online and offline CPU information support) PM
     utilities (Todd Brandt, Brahadambal Srinivasan)"

Pull regulator updates from Mark Brown:
 "This has been a quiet release for the regulator API, a few new drivers
  and the usual fixes and cleanup traffic but not much else going on:

   - Optimisations for the handling of voltage enumeration, especially
     with sparse selector sets, from Claudiu Beznea.

   - Support for several ARM SCMI regulators, Dialog DA9121, NXP PF8x00,
     Qualcomm PMX55, PM8350 and PM8350c

  The addition of the SCMI regulator driver (which controls regulators
  via system firmware) means that we've pulled in the support for the

<title>mm/gup: prevent gup_fast from racing with COW during fork</title>
<updated>2020-12-15T20:13:39+00:00</updated>
<author>
<name>Jason Gunthorpe</name>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.exis.tech/linux.git/commit/?id=57efa1fe5957694fa541c9062de0a127f0b9acb0'/>
<id>57efa1fe5957694fa541c9062de0a127f0b9acb0</id>
<content type='text'>
Since commit 70e806e4e645 ("mm: Do early cow for pinned pages during
fork() for ptes") pages under a FOLL_PIN will not be write protected
during COW for fork.  This means that pages returned from
pin_user_pages(FOLL_WRITE) should not become write protected while the pin
is active.

However, there is a small race where get_user_pages_fast(FOLL_PIN) can
establish a FOLL_PIN at the same time copy_present_page() is write
protecting it:

        CPU 0                             CPU 1
   get_user_pages_fast()
    internal_get_user_pages_fast()
                                       copy_page_range()
                                         pte_alloc_map_lock()
                                           copy_present_page()
                                             atomic_read(has_pinned) == 0
					     page_maybe_dma_pinned() == false
     atomic_set(has_pinned, 1);
     gup_pgd_range()
      gup_pte_range()
       pte_t pte = gup_get_pte(ptep)

The first attempt to resolve this by using the write protect caused
problems (and was missing a barrrier), see commit f3c64eda3e50 ("mm: avoid
early COW write protect games during fork()")

Instead wrap copy_p4d_range() with the write side of a seqcount and check
the read side around gup_pgd_range().  If there is a collision then
get_user_pages_fast() fails and falls back to slow GUP.

Slow GUP is safe against this race because copy_page_range() is only
called while holding the exclusive side of the mmap_lock on the src
mm_struct.

Since commit 70e806e4e645 ("mm: Do early cow for pinned pages during
fork() for ptes") pages under a FOLL_PIN will not be write protected
during COW for fork.  This means that pages returned from
pin_user_pages(FOLL_WRITE) should not become write protected while the pin
is active.

However, there is a small race where get_user_pages_fast(FOLL_PIN) can
establish a FOLL_PIN at the same time copy_present_page() is write
protecting it:

        CPU 0                             CPU 1
   get_user_pages_fast()
    internal_get_user_pages_fast()
                                       copy_page_range()
                                         pte_alloc_map_lock()
                                           copy_present_page()
                                             atomic_read(has_pinned) == 0
					     page_maybe_dma_pinned() == false
     atomic_set(has_pinned, 1);
     gup_pgd_range()
      gup_pte_range()
       pte_t pte = gup_get_pte(ptep)
       pte_access_permitted(pte)
       try_grab_compound_head()
                                             pte = pte_wrprotect(pte)
	                                     set_pte_at();
                                         pte_unmap_unlock()
      // GUP now returns with a write protected page
