commit e10e2f58030c5c211d49042a8c2a1b93d40b2ffb upstream.

In the event that random_get_entropy() can't access a cycle counter or
similar, falling back to returning 0 is really not the best we can do.
Instead, at least calling random_get_entropy_fallback() would be
preferable, because that always needs to return _something_, even
falling back to jiffies eventually. It's not as though
random_get_entropy_fallback() is super high precision or guaranteed to
be entropic, but basically anything that's not zero all the time is
better than returning zero all the time.

This is accomplished by just including the asm-generic code like on
other architectures, which means we can get rid of the empty stub
function here.

MADV_DONTNEED historically rejects mlocked ranges, but with MLOCK_ONFAULT
and MCL_ONFAULT allowing to mlock without populating, there are valid use
cases for depopulating locked ranges as well.

Users mlock memory to protect secrets.  There are allocators for secure
buffers that want in-use memory generally mlocked, but cleared and
invalidated memory to give up the physical pages.  This could be done with
explicit munlock -&gt; mlock calls on free -&gt; alloc of course, but that adds
two unnecessary syscalls, heavy mmap_sem write locks, vma splits and
re-merges - only to get rid of the backing pages.

Users also mlockall(MCL_ONFAULT) to suppress sustained paging, but are
okay with on-demand initial population.  It seems valid to selectively
free some memory during the lifetime of such a process, without having to
mess with its overall policy.

Why add a separate flag? Isn't this a pretty niche usecase?

- MADV_DONTNEED has been bailing on locked vmas forever. It's at least
  conceivable that someone, somewhere is relying on mlock to protect
  data from perhaps broader invalidation calls. Changing this behavior
  now could lead to quiet data corruption.

- It also clarifies expectations around MADV_FREE and maybe
  MADV_REMOVE. It avoids the situation where one quietly behaves
  different than the others. MADV_FREE_LOCKED can be added later.

- The combination of mlock() and madvise() in the first place is
  probably niche. But where it happens, I'd say that dropping pages
  from a locked region once they don't contain secrets or won't page
  anymore is much saner than relying on mlock to protect memory from
  speculative or errant invalidation calls. It's just that we can't
  change the default behavior because of the two previous points.

Given that, an explicit new flag seems to make the most sense.

   - The nds32 architecture ends its tenure in the Linux kernel.

     the mainline port is not actively maintained any more, as all
     remaining users are thought to run vendor kernels that would never

<content type='text'>
Before the commit f9ce0be71d1f ("mm: Cleanup faultaround and finish_fault()
codepaths") there was a call to update_mmu_cache in alloc_set_pte that
used to invalidate TLB entry caching invalid PTE that caused a page
fault. That commit removed that call so now invalid TLB entry survives
causing repetitive page faults on the CPU that took the initial fault
until that TLB entry is occasionally evicted. This issue is spotted by
the xtensa TLB sanity checker.

Fix this issue by defining update_mmu_tlb function that flushes TLB entry
for the faulting address.
