<id>urn:sha1:31cbb1f48280f1a5fa59a1f42f9b2fad9dda632d</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 44922150d87cef616fd183220d43d8fde4d41390 upstream.

If we have a series of events from userpsace, with %fprs=FPRS_FEF,
like follows:

ETRAP
	ETRAP
		VIS_ENTRY(fprs=0x4)
		VIS_EXIT
		RTRAP (kernel FPU restore with fpu_saved=0x4)
	RTRAP

We will not restore the user registers that were clobbered by the FPU
using kernel code in the inner-most trap.

Traps allocate FPU save slots in the thread struct, and FPU using
sequences save the "dirty" FPU registers only.

This works at the initial trap level because all of the registers
get recorded into the top-level FPU save area, and we'll return
to userspace with the FPU disabled so that any FPU use by the user
will take an FPU disabled trap wherein we'll load the registers
back up properly.

But this is not how trap returns from kernel to kernel operate.

The simplest fix for this bug is to always save all FPU register state
for anything other than the top-most FPU save area.

Getting rid of the optimized inner-slot FPU saving code ends up
making VISEntryHalf degenerate into plain VISEntry.

Longer term we need to do something smarter to reinstate the partial
save optimizations.  Perhaps the fundament error is having trap entry
and exit allocate FPU save slots and restore register state.  Instead,
the VISEntry et al. calls should be doing that work.

This bug is about two decades old.

commit cbf1ef6b3345d2cc7e62407eec6a6f72a8b1346f upstream.

In sparc headers we use the following pattern:

    #if defined(__sparc__) &amp;&amp; defined(__arch64__)

    sparc64 specific stuff

    #else

    sparc32 specific stuff

    #endif

In types.h this pattern was not followed and here
we only checked for __sparc__ for no good reason.
It was a left-over from long time ago.

I checked other architectures - and most of them
do not have any such checks. And all the recently
merged versions uses the asm-generic version.

<title>sparc64: Guard against flushing openfirmware mappings.</title>

<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit 4ca9a23765da3260058db3431faf5b4efd8cf926 ]

Based almost entirely upon a patch by Christopher Alexander Tobias
Schulze.

In commit db64fe02258f1507e13fe5212a989922323685ce ("mm: rewrite vmap
layer") lazy VMAP tlb flushing was added to the vmalloc layer.  This
causes problems on sparc64.

Sparc64 has two VMAP mapped regions and they are not contiguous with
eachother.  First we have the malloc mapping area, then another
unrelated region, then the vmalloc region.

This "another unrelated region" is where the firmware is mapped.

If the lazy TLB flushing logic in the vmalloc code triggers after
we've had both a module unload and a vfree or similar, it will pass an
address range that goes from somewhere inside the malloc region to
somewhere inside the vmalloc region, and thus covering the
openfirmware area entirely.

The sparc64 kernel learns about openfirmware's dynamic mappings in
this region early in the boot, and then services TLB misses in this
area.  But openfirmware has some locked TLB entries which are not
mentioned in those dynamic mappings and we should thus not disturb
them.

These huge lazy TLB flush ranges causes those openfirmware locked TLB
entries to be removed, resulting in all kinds of problems including
hard hangs and crashes during reboot/reset.

Besides causing problems like this, such huge TLB flush ranges are
also incredibly inefficient.  A plea has been made with the author of
the VMAP lazy TLB flushing code, but for now we'll put a safety guard
into our flush_tlb_kernel_range() implementation.

Since the implementation has become non-trivial, stop defining it as a
macro and instead make it a function in a C source file.

<title>sparc64: Fix huge TSB mapping on pre-UltraSPARC-III cpus.</title>

<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit b18eb2d779240631a098626cb6841ee2dd34fda0 ]

Access to the TSB hash tables during TLB misses requires that there be
an atomic 128-bit quad load available so that we fetch a matching TAG
and DATA field at the same time.

On cpus prior to UltraSPARC-III only virtual address based quad loads
are available.  UltraSPARC-III and later provide physical address
based variants which are easier to use.

When we only have virtual address based quad loads available this
means that we have to lock the TSB into the TLB at a fixed virtual
address on each cpu when it runs that process.  We can't just access
the PAGE_OFFSET based aliased mapping of these TSBs because we cannot
take a recursive TLB miss inside of the TLB miss handler without
risking running out of hardware trap levels (some trap combinations
can be deep, such as those generated by register window spill and fill
traps).

Without huge pages it's working perfectly fine, but when the huge TSB
got added another chunk of fixed virtual address space was not
allocated for this second TSB mapping.

So we were mapping both the 8K and 4MB TSBs to the same exact virtual
address, causing multiple TLB matches which gives undefined behavior.

This reverts commit 145e1c0023585e0e8f6df22316308ec61c5066b2.

This commit broke the behavior of __copy_from_user_inatomic when
it is only partially successful. Instead of returning the number
of bytes not copied, it now returns 1. This translates to the
wrong value being returned by iov_iter_copy_from_user_atomic.

xfstests generic/246 and LTP writev01 both fail on btrfs and nfs
because of this.

commit aea1181b0bd0a09c54546399768f359d1e198e45 upstream.

There is no-one that really require atomic64_t support on sparc32.
But several drivers fails to build without proper atomic64 support.
And for an allyesconfig build for sparc32 this is annoying.

Include the generic atomic64_t support for sparc32.
This has a text footprint cost:

$size vmlinux (before atomic64_t support)
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
3578860  134260  108781 3821901  3a514d vmlinux

$size vmlinux (after atomic64_t support)
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
3579892  130684  108781 3819357  3a475d vmlinux

text increase (3579892 - 3578860) = 1032 bytes

data decreases - but I fail to explain why!
I have rebuild twice to check my numbers.

<title>sparc64: Fix race in TLB batch processing.</title>

[ Commits f36391d2790d04993f48da6a45810033a2cdf847 and
  f0af97070acbad5d6a361f485828223a4faaa0ee upstream. ]

As reported by Dave Kleikamp, when we emit cross calls to do batched
TLB flush processing we have a race because we do not synchronize on
the sibling cpus completing the cross call.

So meanwhile the TLB batch can be reset (tb-&gt;tlb_nr set to zero, etc.)
and either flushes are missed or flushes will flush the wrong
addresses.

Fix this by using generic infrastructure to synchonize on the
completion of the cross call.

This first required getting the flush_tlb_pending() call out from
switch_to() which operates with locks held and interrupts disabled.
The problem is that smp_call_function_many() cannot be invoked with
IRQs disabled and this is explicitly checked for with WARN_ON_ONCE().

We get the batch processing outside of locked IRQ disabled sections by
using some ideas from the powerpc port. Namely, we only batch inside
of arch_{enter,leave}_lazy_mmu_mode() calls.  If we're not in such a
region, we flush TLBs synchronously.

1) Get rid of xcall_flush_tlb_pending and per-cpu type
   implementations.

2) Do TLB batch cross calls instead via:

	smp_call_function_many()
		tlb_pending_func()
			__flush_tlb_pending()

3) Batch only in lazy mmu sequences:

	a) Add 'active' member to struct tlb_batch
	b) Define __HAVE_ARCH_ENTER_LAZY_MMU_MODE
	c) Set 'active' in arch_enter_lazy_mmu_mode()
	d) Run batch and clear 'active' in arch_leave_lazy_mmu_mode()
	e) Check 'active' in tlb_batch_add_one() and do a synchronous
           flush if it's clear.

4) Add infrastructure for synchronous TLB page flushes.

	a) Implement __flush_tlb_page and per-cpu variants, patch
	   as needed.
	b) Likewise for xcall_flush_tlb_page.
	c) Implement smp_flush_tlb_page() to invoke the cross-call.
	d) Wire up global_flush_tlb_page() to the right routine based
           upon CONFIG_SMP

5) It turns out that singleton batches are very common, 2 out of every
   3 batch flushes have only a single entry in them.

   The batch flush waiting is very expensive, both because of the poll
   on sibling cpu completeion, as well as because passing the tlb batch
   pointer to the sibling cpus invokes a shared memory dereference.

   Therefore, in flush_tlb_pending(), if there is only one entry in
   the batch perform a completely asynchronous global_flush_tlb_page()
   instead.
