In [2] it was pointed out that parts of setarch weren't working
properly on alpha because it has it's own SET_PERSONALITY
implementation. In the discussion that followed Richard Henderson
pointed out that the 32bit pointer support for alpha was never
completed.
Fix this by removing alpha's 32bit pointer support.
As a bit of paranoia refuse to execute any alpha binaries that have
the EF_ALPHA_32BIT flag set. Just in case someone somewhere has
binaries that try to use alpha's 32bit pointer support.

commit 77b823fa619f97d16409ca37ad4f7936e28c5f83 upstream.
This allows the assembly in entry.S to automatically keep in sync with
changes in the stack layout (struct pt_regs and struct switch_stack).

commit 0a0f7362b0367634a2d5cb7c96226afc116f19c9 upstream.
The problem is that GCC expects 16-byte alignment of the incoming stack
since early 2004, as Maciej found out [1]:
Having actually dug speculatively I can see that the psABI was changed in
GCC 3.5 with commit e5e10fb4a350 ("re PR target/14539 (128-bit long double
improperly aligned)") back in Mar 2004, when the stack pointer alignment
was increased from 8 bytes to 16 bytes, and arch/alpha/kernel/entry.S has
various suspicious stack pointer adjustments, starting with SP_OFF which
is not a whole multiple of 16.
Also, as Magnus noted, "ALPHA Calling Standard" [2] required the same:
D.3.1 Stack Alignment
This standard requires that stacks be octaword aligned at the time a
new procedure is invoked.
However:
- the "normal" kernel stack is always misaligned by 8 bytes, thanks to
the odd number of 64-bit words in 'struct pt_regs', which is the very
first thing pushed onto the kernel thread stack;
- syscall, fault, interrupt etc. handlers may, or may not, receive aligned
stack depending on numerous factors.
Somehow we got away with it until recently, when we ended up with
a stack corruption in kernel/smp.c:smp_call_function_single() due to
its use of 32-byte aligned local data and the compiler doing clever
things allocating it on the stack.
This adds padding between the PAL-saved and kernel-saved registers
so that 'struct pt_regs' have an even number of 64-bit words.
This makes the stack properly aligned for most of the kernel
code, except two handlers which need special threatment.
Note: struct pt_regs doesn't belong in uapi/asm; this should be fixed,
but let's put this off until later.

commit 6ccbd7fd474674654019a20177c943359469103a upstream.
EXPORT_SYMBOL and __init is a bad combination because the .init.text
section is freed up after the initialization.
Commit c5a130325f13 ("ACPI/APEI: Add parameter check before error
injection") exported page_is_ram(), hence the __init annotation should
be removed.
This fixes the modpost warning in ARCH=alpha builds:

[ Upstream commit b6b17a8b3ecd878d98d5472a9023ede9e669ca72 ]
Previously, R_ALPHA_LITERAL relocations would overflow for large kernel
modules.
This was because the Alpha's apply_relocate_add was relying on the kernel's
module loader to have sorted the GOT towards the very end of the module as it
was mapped into memory in order to correctly assign the global pointer. While
this behavior would mostly work fine for small kernel modules, this approach
would overflow on kernel modules with large GOT's since the global pointer
would be very far away from the GOT, and thus, certain entries would be out of
range.
This patch fixes this by instead using the Tru64 behavior of assigning the
global pointer to be 32KB away from the start of the GOT. The change made
in this patch won't work for multi-GOT kernel modules as it makes the
assumption the module only has one GOT located at the beginning of .got,
although for the vast majority kernel modules, this should be fine. Of the
kernel modules that would previously result in a relocation error, none of
them, even modules like nouveau, have even come close to filling up a single
GOT, and they've all worked fine under this patch.

commit 977a3009547dad4a5bc95d91be4a58c9f7eedac0 upstream.
Type 3 instruction fault (FPU insn with FPU disabled) is handled
by quietly enabling FPU and returning. Which is fine, except that
we need to do that both for fault in userland and in the kernel;
the latter *can* legitimately happen - all it takes is this:
.global _start
_start:
call_pal 0xae
lda $0, 0
ldq $0, 0($0)
- call_pal CLRFEN to clear "FPU enabled" flag and arrange for
a signal delivery (SIGSEGV in this case).
Fixed by moving the handling of type 3 into the common part of
do_entIF(), before we check for kernel vs. user mode.
Incidentally, the check for kernel mode is unidiomatic; the normal
way to do that is !user_mode(regs). The difference is that
the open-coded variant treats any of bits 63..3 of regs->ps being
set as "it's user mode" while the normal approach is to check just
the bit 3. PS is a 4-bit register and regs->ps always will have
bits 63..4 clear, so the open-coded variant here is actually equivalent
to !user_mode(regs). Harder to follow, though...

commit 0e25498f8cd43c1b5aa327f373dd094e9a006da7 upstream.
There are two big uses of do_exit. The first is it's design use to be
the guts of the exit(2) system call. The second use is to terminate
a task after something catastrophic has happened like a NULL pointer
in kernel code.
Add a function make_task_dead that is initialy exactly the same as
do_exit to cover the cases where do_exit is called to handle
catastrophic failure. In time this can probably be reduced to just a
light wrapper around do_task_dead. For now keep it exactly the same so
that there will be no behavioral differences introducing this new
concept.
Replace all of the uses of do_exit that use it for catastraphic
task cleanup with make_task_dead to make it clear what the code
is doing.
As part of this rename rewind_stack_do_exit
rewind_stack_and_make_dead.

[ Upstream commit 0dd8d6cb9eddfe637bcd821bbfd40ebd5a0737b9 ]
There are 4 users of mc146818_get_time() and none of them was checking
the return value from this function. Change this.
Print the appropriate warnings in callers of mc146818_get_time() instead
of in the function mc146818_get_time() itself, in order not to add
strings to rtc-mc146818-lib.c, which is kind of a library.
The callers of alpha_rtc_read_time() and cmos_read_time() may use the
contents of (struct rtc_time *) even when the functions return a failure
code. Therefore, set the contents of (struct rtc_time *) to 0x00,
which looks more sensible then 0xff and aligns with the (possibly
stale?) comment in cmos_read_time:
/*
* If pm_trace abused the RTC for storage, set the timespec to 0,
* which tells the caller that this RTC value is unusable.
*/
For consistency, do this in mc146818_get_time().
Note: hpet_rtc_interrupt() may call mc146818_get_time() many times a
second. It is very unlikely, though, that the RTC suddenly stops
working and mc146818_get_time() would consistently fail.
Only compile-tested on alpha.

This issue was noticed while debugging a shutdown issue where some
secondary CPUs are not being shutdown correctly. A fix for that [1] requires
that secondary cpus be offlined using the cpu_online_mask so that the
stop operation is a no-op if CPU HOTPLUG is disabled. I, like the author in
[1] looked at the architectures and found that alpha is one of two
architectures that executes smp_send_stop() on all possible CPUs.
On alpha, smp_send_stop() sends an IPI to all possible CPUs but only needs
to send them to online CPUs.
Send the stop IPI to only the online CPUs.

accuracy of memblock.memory to properly calculate zone sizes. The holes in
memblock.memory caused by absent regions reserved by the firmware cause
incorrect initialization of struct pages which leads to BUG() during the

[ Upstream commit f1a0a376ca0c4ef1fc3d24e3e502acbb5b795674 ]
As pointed out by commit
de9b8f5dcbd9 ("sched: Fix crash trying to dequeue/enqueue the idle thread")
init_idle() can and will be invoked more than once on the same idle
task. At boot time, it is invoked for the boot CPU thread by
sched_init(). Then smp_init() creates the threads for all the secondary
CPUs and invokes init_idle() on them.
As the hotplug machinery brings the secondaries to life, it will issue
calls to idle_thread_get(), which itself invokes init_idle() yet again.
In this case it's invoked twice more per secondary: at _cpu_up(), and at
bringup_cpu().
Given smp_init() already initializes the idle tasks for all *possible*
CPUs, no further initialization should be required. Now, removing
init_idle() from idle_thread_get() exposes some interesting expectations
with regards to the idle task's preempt_count: the secondary startup always
issues a preempt_disable(), requiring some reset of the preempt count to 0
between hot-unplug and hotplug, which is currently served by
idle_thread_get() -> idle_init().
Given the idle task is supposed to have preemption disabled once and never
see it re-enabled, it seems that what we actually want is to initialize its
preempt_count to PREEMPT_DISABLED and leave it there. Do that, and remove
init_idle() from idle_thread_get().
Secondary startups were patched via coccinelle:

We call arch_cpu_idle() with RCU disabled, but then use
local_irq_{en,dis}able(), which invokes tracing, which relies on RCU.
Switch all arch_cpu_idle() implementations to use
raw_local_irq_{en,dis}able() and carefully manage the
lockdep,rcu,tracing state like we do in entry.
(XXX: we really should change arch_cpu_idle() to not return with
interrupts enabled)

There is usecase that System Management Software(SMS) want to give a
memory hint like MADV_[COLD|PAGEEOUT] to other processes and in the
case of Android, it is the ActivityManagerService.
The information required to make the reclaim decision is not known to the
app. Instead, it is known to the centralized userspace
daemon(ActivityManagerService), and that daemon must be able to initiate
reclaim on its own without any app involvement.
To solve the issue, this patch introduces a new syscall
process_madvise(2). It uses pidfd of an external process to give the
hint. It also supports vector address range because Android app has
thousands of vmas due to zygote so it's totally waste of CPU and power if
we should call the syscall one by one for each vma.(With testing 2000-vma
syscall vs 1-vector syscall, it showed 15% performance improvement. I
think it would be bigger in real practice because the testing ran very
cache friendly environment).
Another potential use case for the vector range is to amortize the cost
ofTLB shootdowns for multiple ranges when using MADV_DONTNEED; this could
benefit users like TCP receive zerocopy and malloc implementations. In
future, we could find more usecases for other advises so let's make it
happens as API since we introduce a new syscall at this moment. With
that, existing madvise(2) user could replace it with process_madvise(2)
with their own pid if they want to have batch address ranges support
feature.
ince it could affect other process's address range, only privileged
process(PTRACE_MODE_ATTACH_FSCREDS) or something else(e.g., being the same
UID) gives it the right to ptrace the process could use it successfully.
The flag argument is reserved for future use if we need to extend the API.
I think supporting all hints madvise has/will supported/support to
process_madvise is rather risky. Because we are not sure all hints make
sense from external process and implementation for the hint may rely on
the caller being in the current context so it could be error-prone. Thus,
I just limited hints as MADV_[COLD|PAGEOUT] in this patch.
If someone want to add other hints, we could hear the usecase and review
it for each hint. It's safer for maintenance rather than introducing a
buggy syscall but hard to fix it later.
So finally, the API is as follows,
ssize_t process_madvise(int pidfd, const struct iovec *iovec,
unsigned long vlen, int advice, unsigned int flags);
DESCRIPTION
The process_madvise() system call is used to give advice or directions
to the kernel about the address ranges from external process as well as
local process. It provides the advice to address ranges of process
described by iovec and vlen. The goal of such advice is to improve
system or application performance.
The pidfd selects the process referred to by the PID file descriptor
specified in pidfd. (See pidofd_open(2) for further information)
The pointer iovec points to an array of iovec structures, defined in
<sys/uio.h> as:
struct iovec {
void *iov_base; /* starting address */
size_t iov_len; /* number of bytes to be advised */
};
The iovec describes address ranges beginning at address(iov_base)
and with size length of bytes(iov_len).
The vlen represents the number of elements in iovec.
The advice is indicated in the advice argument, which is one of the
following at this moment if the target process specified by pidfd is
external.
MADV_COLD
MADV_PAGEOUT
Permission to provide a hint to external process is governed by a
ptrace access mode PTRACE_MODE_ATTACH_FSCREDS check; see ptrace(2).
The process_madvise supports every advice madvise(2) has if target
process is in same thread group with calling process so user could
use process_madvise(2) to extend existing madvise(2) to support
vector address ranges.
RETURN VALUE
On success, process_madvise() returns the number of bytes advised.
This return value may be less than the total number of requested
bytes, if an error occurred. The caller should check return value
to determine whether a partial advice occurred.
FAQ:
Q.1 - Why does any external entity have better knowledge?
Quote from Sandeep
"For Android, every application (including the special SystemServer)
are forked from Zygote. The reason of course is to share as many
libraries and classes between the two as possible to benefit from the
preloading during boot.
After applications start, (almost) all of the APIs end up calling into
this SystemServer process over IPC (binder) and back to the
application.
In a fully running system, the SystemServer monitors every single
process periodically to calculate their PSS / RSS and also decides
which process is "important" to the user for interactivity.
So, because of how these processes start _and_ the fact that the
SystemServer is looping to monitor each process, it does tend to *know*
which address range of the application is not used / useful.
Besides, we can never rely on applications to clean things up
themselves. We've had the "hey app1, the system is low on memory,
please trim your memory usage down" notifications for a long time[1].
They rely on applications honoring the broadcasts and very few do.
So, if we want to avoid the inevitable killing of the application and
restarting it, some way to be able to tell the OS about unimportant
memory in these applications will be useful.
- ssp
Q.2 - How to guarantee the race(i.e., object validation) between when
giving a hint from an external process and get the hint from the target
process?
process_madvise operates on the target process's address space as it
exists at the instant that process_madvise is called. If the space
target process can run between the time the process_madvise process
inspects the target process address space and the time that
process_madvise is actually called, process_madvise may operate on
memory regions that the calling process does not expect. It's the
responsibility of the process calling process_madvise to close this
race condition. For example, the calling process can suspend the
target process with ptrace, SIGSTOP, or the freezer cgroup so that it
doesn't have an opportunity to change its own address space before
process_madvise is called. Another option is to operate on memory
regions that the caller knows a priori will be unchanged in the target
process. Yet another option is to accept the race for certain
process_madvise calls after reasoning that mistargeting will do no
harm. The suggested API itself does not provide synchronization. It
also apply other APIs like move_pages, process_vm_write.
The race isn't really a problem though. Why is it so wrong to require
that callers do their own synchronization in some manner? Nobody
objects to write(2) merely because it's possible for two processes to
open the same file and clobber each other's writes --- instead, we tell
people to use flock or something. Think about mmap. It never
guarantees newly allocated address space is still valid when the user
tries to access it because other threads could unmap the memory right
before. That's where we need synchronization by using other API or
design from userside. It shouldn't be part of API itself. If someone
needs more fine-grained synchronization rather than process level,
there were two ideas suggested - cookie[2] and anon-fd[3]. Both are
applicable via using last reserved argument of the API but I don't
think it's necessary right now since we have already ways to prevent
the race so don't want to add additional complexity with more
fine-grained optimization model.
To make the API extend, it reserved an unsigned long as last argument
so we could support it in future if someone really needs it.
Q.3 - Why doesn't ptrace work?
Injecting an madvise in the target process using ptrace would not work
for us because such injected madvise would have to be executed by the
target process, which means that process would have to be runnable and
that creates the risk of the abovementioned race and hinting a wrong
VMA. Furthermore, we want to act the hint in caller's context, not the
callee's, because the callee is usually limited in cpuset/cgroups or
even freezed state so they can't act by themselves quick enough, which
causes more thrashing/kill. It doesn't work if the target process are
ptraced(e.g., strace, debugger, minidump) because a process can have at
most one ptracer.
