Drivers: hv: Change hv_free_hyperv_page() to take void * argument

2025-07-06T08:57:58+00:00

[ Upstream commit a6fe043880820981f6e4918240f967ea79bb063e ]

Currently hv_free_hyperv_page() takes an unsigned long argument, which
is inconsistent with the void * return value from the corresponding
hv_alloc_hyperv_page() function and variants. This creates unnecessary
extra casting.

Change the hv_free_hyperv_page() argument type to void *.
Also remove redundant casts from invocations of
hv_alloc_hyperv_page() and variants.

vmlinux.lds: Ensure that const vars with relocations are mapped R/O

2025-03-07T15:56:50+00:00

commit 68f3ea7ee199ef77551e090dfef5a49046ea8443 upstream.

In the kernel, there are architectures (x86, arm64) that perform
boot-time relocation (for KASLR) without relying on PIE codegen. In this
case, all const global objects are emitted into .rodata, including const
objects with fields that will be fixed up by the boot-time relocation
code.  This implies that .rodata (and .text in some cases) need to be
writable at boot, but they will usually be mapped read-only as soon as
the boot completes.

When using PIE codegen, the compiler will emit const global objects into
.data.rel.ro rather than .rodata if the object contains fields that need
such fixups at boot-time. This permits the linker to annotate such
regions as requiring read-write access only at load time, but not at
execution time (in user space), while keeping .rodata truly const (in
user space, this is important for reducing the CoW footprint of dynamic
executables).

This distinction does not matter for the kernel, but it does imply that
const data will end up in writable memory if the .data.rel.ro sections
are not treated in a special way, as they will end up in the writable
.data segment by default.

So emit .data.rel.ro into the .rodata segment.

vmlinux.lds.h: catch .bss..L* sections into BSS")

[ Upstream commit 1a7b7326d587c9a5e8ff067e70d6aaf0333f4bb3 ]

Commit 9a427556fb8e ("vmlinux.lds.h: catch compound literals into

arm64: irq: set the correct node for VMAP stack

2024-02-05T20:12:46+00:00

[ Upstream commit 75b5e0bf90bffaca4b1f19114065dc59f5cc161f ]

In current code, init_irq_stacks() will call cpu_to_node().
The cpu_to_node() depends on percpu "numa_node" which is initialized in:
     arch_call_rest_init() --> rest_init() -- kernel_init()
	--> kernel_init_freeable() --> smp_prepare_cpus()

But init_irq_stacks() is called in init_IRQ() which is before
arch_call_rest_init().

So in init_irq_stacks(), the cpu_to_node() does not work, it
always return 0. In NUMA, it makes the node 1 cpu accesses the IRQ stack which
is in the node 0.

This patch fixes it by:
  1.) export the early_cpu_to_node(), and use it in the init_irq_stacks().
  2.) change init_irq_stacks() to __init function.

asm-generic: make sparse happy with odd-sized put_unaligned_*()

2024-02-05T20:12:46+00:00

[ Upstream commit 1ab33c03145d0f6c345823fc2da935d9a1a9e9fc ]

__put_unaligned_be24() and friends use implicit casts to convert
larger-sized data to bytes, which trips sparse truncation warnings when
the argument is a constant:

    CC [M]  drivers/input/touchscreen/hynitron_cstxxx.o
    CHECK   drivers/input/touchscreen/hynitron_cstxxx.c
  drivers/input/touchscreen/hynitron_cstxxx.c: note: in included file (through arch/x86/include/generated/asm/unaligned.h):
  include/asm-generic/unaligned.h:119:16: warning: cast truncates bits from constant value (aa01a0 becomes a0)

  include/asm-generic/unaligned.h:120:20: warning: cast truncates bits from constant value (ab00 becomes 0)

To avoid this let's mask off upper bits explicitly, the resulting code
should be exactly the same, but it will keep sparse happy.

asm-generic: qspinlock: fix queued_spin_value_unlocked() implementation

2023-12-20T16:00:24+00:00

[ Upstream commit 125b0bb95dd6bec81b806b997a4ccb026eeecf8f ]

We really don't want to do atomic_read() or anything like that, since we
already have the value, not the lock.  The whole point of this is that
we've loaded the lock from memory, and we want to check whether the
value we loaded was a locked one or not.

The main use of this is the lockref code, which loads both the lock and
the reference count in one atomic operation, and then works on that
combined value.  With the atomic_read(), the compiler would pointlessly
spill the value to the stack, in order to then be able to read it back
"atomically".

This is the qspinlock version of commit c6f4a9002252 ("asm-generic:
ticket-lock: Optimize arch_spin_value_unlocked()") which fixed this same
bug for ticket locks.

word-at-a-time: use the same return type for has_zero regardless of endianness

2023-08-11T10:08:11+00:00

[ Upstream commit 79e8328e5acbe691bbde029a52c89d70dcbc22f3 ]

Compiling big-endian targets with Clang produces the diagnostic:

  fs/namei.c:2173:13: warning: use of bitwise '|' with boolean operands [-Wbitwise-instead-of-logical]
	} while (!(has_zero(a, &adata, &constants) | has_zero(b, &bdata, &constants)));
	          ~^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
                                               ||
  fs/namei.c:2173:13: note: cast one or both operands to int to silence this warning

It appears that when has_zero was introduced, two definitions were
produced with different signatures (in particular different return
types).

Looking at the usage in hash_name() in fs/namei.c, I suspect that
has_zero() is meant to be invoked twice per while loop iteration; using
logical-or would not update `bdata` when `a` did not have zeros.  So I
think it's preferred to always return an unsigned long rather than a
bool than update the while loop in hash_name() to use a logical-or
rather than bitwise-or.
