sparc is the last architecture besides alpha without SECCOMP_FILTER,
which systemd, docker, flatpak and the like all want, and userspace
support already exists as a pending libseccomp pull request.
Everything the filter mode needs is in fact already in place:
syscall_get_arch(), syscall_get_arguments() and
syscall_set_return_value() have long been provided for audit and
ptrace, TIF_SECCOMP is already in the syscall-entry work mask, and
strict-mode seccomp has been wired up for years. What is missing is
letting seccomp veto a syscall and honouring the return value it
sets.
Rework the entry hook accordingly: syscall_trace_enter() now runs the
ptrace entry report first and seccomp second (matching the generic
entry code, so a tracer's changes are seen by the filter), and
returns -1 when the syscall has been denied. On denial the return
value and the carry bit have already been set in pt_regs -
syscall_set_return_value() for a ptrace abort, the seccomp core for
SECCOMP_RET_ERRNO/TRAP/TRACE/KILL - so the assembler stubs must no
longer force -ENOSYS; they instead branch to a new linux_syscall_skip
path that advances TPC/TNPC past the trap instruction and returns
through the syscall exit work without storing a new return value.
The old behaviour of a ptrace entry abort (ENOSYS with the carry bit
set, followed by the exit report) is preserved, it is just set up in
C now.
syscall_rollback()'s XXX comment is replaced with an explanation of
why a no-op is correct: every caller runs before the syscall has been
invoked, and on sparc the first argument register is only overwritten
by the return value once the syscall has actually run.
SECCOMP_ARCH_NATIVE/COMPAT are defined so the constant-action bitmap
cache works for both 64-bit and compat 32-bit tasks.
Filter support is 64-bit only for now, as strict mode already was:
the 32-bit kernel's entry path has no equivalent plumbing.
Tested on an UltraSPARC T4-1: the seccomp_bpf selftest passes 95 of
95 (16 skipped for missing optional features such as uprobes), the
libseccomp test suite with its pending SPARC support passes 5190 of
5190 including the live tests, and docker containers run confined by
both the default and custom seccomp profiles.

Move the early memory configuration out of SRMMU paging setup and next to
the rest of setup_arch(). Derive the PFN limits from memblock, reserve the
kernel and initrd there, and retain mem= support with
memblock_enforce_memory_limit().
Use for_each_mem_pfn_range() to find the lowmem boundary and set the
standard max_pfn variable to the end of physical memory. Use max_pfn as
the highmem zone limit and replace last_valid_pfn with max_pfn in LEON's
_pfn_valid() check, preserving its existing bounds, including highmem.
The removed bootmem code also printed a private HIGHMEM summary. Generic
memory initialization already reports the highmem zone, so do not retain
the duplicate message.
When PAGE_OFFSET maps a relocated kernel, remove memory below phys_base
from memblock because it cannot be reached through the linear map. This
replaces the equivalent trimming of sp_banks.

The huge-page path in the TSB miss handler has to route a fault taken
during a register window spill or fill away from hugetlb_setup(), since
a trap stack cannot be built at TL > 1. That test is made after
wrpr %g5, PSTATE_AG | PSTATE_MG, %pstate
(SET_GL(1) on sun4v) has already switched the global register bank.
%g3, holding the fault code, and %g5, holding the PTE, live in the TLB
miss handler's globals and do not survive that switch, so the branch to
winfix_trampoline passes on whatever the new bank happens to contain: a
stale fault code and a garbage fault address. The task is then killed
with SIGSEGV pointing at an address that was never mapped.
The path predates the fault code being passed at all; it was given one
when winfix_trampoline's %g4 requirement was fixed, and the register it
reads has been the wrong bank's since.
Make the decision before the switch and route to tsb_do_fault, which
re-reads both from the MMU after switching banks, rather than entering
winfix_trampoline with registers that no longer mean anything.

A window fill that faults re-enters the kernel through
user_rtt_fill_fixup_common(), which does not pass through etrap. rtrap
has already set %asi to ASI_AIUP for the fill, and etrap is what would
normally re-establish ASI_AIUS from the TSTATE it synthesizes, so the
kernel carries on with %asi = ASI_AIUP while the primary context has
just been restored to the kernel's.
Every %asi-based user access made from there - put_user(), get_user()
and everything built on them - then translates in the kernel context.
User addresses below the VA hole fault forever, because nothing ever
fills a context-zero translation for them, and the CPU is wedged in
kernel mode: the task survives SIGKILL, sits in state R at 100% CPU,
and takes the machine down once RCU stalls. Addresses above the hole
fail more quietly, silently aliasing the kernel linear mapping.
Restore the invariant before any user access is attempted.

The tick/stick/hbtick add_compare() implementations program the
comparator and then check whether the write took effect in time:
exp = read_cnt() + delta_ticks;
write_cmp(exp);
return (read_cnt() - exp) > 0;
A nonzero return value means the expiry time was already reached
before the comparator write could take effect, so the interrupt may
never fire, and the caller retries with a new expiry:
return tick.add_compare(delta_ticks) ? -ETIME : 0;
The check only fails the write when the counter has advanced past the
expiry time, but not when it is equal to it. In the equal case it is
unknown whether the comparator write took effect before or after the
counter reached the expiry value, so the compare match - and with it
the timer interrupt - may have been missed. add_compare() then
reports success, the caller does not retry, and the CPU is left with
no pending timer interrupt.
This results in stalled hrtimers and RCU stalls / hangs under load,
observed on SPARC S7-2 and T7-1 systems:
rcu: INFO: rcu_sched detected stalls on CPUs/tasks:
rcu: rcu_sched kthread timer wakeup didn't happen for 5259 jiffies!
rcu: Possible timer handling issue on cpu=100 timer-softirq=15
Treat counter == expiry as failure as well, so the caller retries
with a new expiry time. After this change S7-2 and T7-1 systems no
longer hang.

HdrS version 0x0300 tells the boot loader that the kernel supports being
located somewhere other than physical 0x4000, which is where SILO places
the image on the traditional path. Anything older is copied back down
there, and refused outright when it no longer fits.
sparc32 could not make that claim before, because setup_arch() took
phys_base from the lowest memory bank rather than from what PAGE_OFFSET
maps to. It can now, so say so.

setup_arch() computes phys_base as the base of the lowest sp_banks[]
entry, that is, where RAM starts, and assumes the kernel image was loaded
there. That holds for the traditional boot path, where SILO places the
image at physical 0x4000 and PAGE_OFFSET is mapped to physical 0.
It stops holding once the image no longer fits there. SILO loads a kernel
between physical 0x4000 and its own text at 0x280000, a window of 2605056
bytes; a current sparc32 kernel is roughly twice that. The loader must
then place the image elsewhere in physical memory and map PAGE_OFFSET to
it, at which point phys_base describes where RAM begins rather than what
PAGE_OFFSET maps to, and the two disagree.
phys_base is the offset __pa() and __va() are defined in terms of, so once
it is wrong every early translation is wrong by the difference, including
the physical addresses written into page table descriptors. The
tablewalker then follows pointers into pages that hold nothing while the
same tables read back correctly through the nocache view. The failure
surfaces as a hang right after the context table pointer is installed and
the TLB flushed, with nothing on the console to explain it, since the PROM
mappings the early console depends on have become just as unreachable.
Ask the MMU what PAGE_OFFSET actually translates to and adopt that.
__get_phys() already implements this probe for sun4m and sun4d and returns
zero elsewhere. Restrict the probe and diagnostic to these supported
platforms so that LEON does not report a bogus kernel address. No new
low level MMU access is introduced.
Memory below the kernel cannot be reached through the linear map, which
runs upward from PAGE_OFFSET, so drop the banks that fall below it rather
than leave entries that __va() would translate to below PAGE_OFFSET.
With this a 6MB kernel loaded at physical 0x03000000 boots on sun4m: the
context table lands at its true physical address,
srmmu_inherit_prom_mappings() preserves the PROM console mappings, and
srmmu.c needs no change at all, since map_kernel() already handles a
non-zero phys_base via do_large_mapping().
The cost is the RAM below the load address the loader chose. SILO's
memory_find() picks 48MB on machines with 64MB or more.

The construct of having a define in a header requires that

Pull generic entry code updates from Thomas Gleixner:
- Make syscall user dispatching configurable
Not all architectures can makes use of syscall user dispatching.
Allow them to disable the feature completely.
- Consolidate stack randomization for the generic entry code and the
architectures using it.
Stack randomization on syscall entry was sprinkled throughout the
architecture specific low level entry code and in some cases at the
wrong points, e.g. before establishing state, which violates the
non-instrumentable constraints of that code.
Clean this up by integrating stack randomization into the generic
entry code helpers so that it is invoked at the earliest possible
point right after establishing state and converting all generic entry
code using architecture over.
- Clean up the syscall number handling in the generic entry code. It
works correctly for architectures which have a separate return value
storage in pt_regs, but fails to distinguish the case where user
space handed in -1 as syscall number from the case where the entry
code rejects it by returning -1 to the callers. Aside of that the
return value functionality of those interfaces is not really
intuitive.
Fix this by separating the decision to reject a syscall (user
dispatch, ptrace, seccomp ...) from the potential modification of the
syscall number through these mechanisms.
This solves most of the problems for architectures which do not have
a separate return value storage in pt_regs except for the case where
a tracepoint has a BPF script or a probe attached which overwrite
both the syscall number and the return value. But that's a problem
which cannot be solved in the generic code, that only can be
addressed by separating the storage model in the affected
architectures.

led_proc_write() duplicates up to LED_MAX_LENGTH bytes with
memdup_user_nul() and then unconditionally inspects buf[count - 1] to
strip a trailing newline. A zero-length write therefore reads one byte
before the duplicated buffer.
The previous version rejected empty writes, but empty input already falls
through to the existing default case and turns the LED off like any other
unrecognized string. Preserve that behavior and only skip the newline
trim when there is no input byte to inspect.

Quite some architectures have four character wide acronyms for architecture
specific interrupts like IPI, NMI, etc.
The default precision of printing the Linux device interrupt numbers is
three, which causes quite some code to play games with adding or omitting
space after the acronym and the colon in order to keep the per CPU numbers
properly aligned.
Increase the default number precision to four in the core code and get rid
of the space games all over the place. At the same time align all
architecture specific descriptor texts left so that they show up in the
same column as the interrupt chip names, which makes the output more
uniform accross architectures. Fix up the GDB script to this new scheme as
well.

Reduce 22 declarations of empty_zero_page to 3 and 23 declarations of
ZERO_PAGE() to 4.
Every architecture defines empty_zero_page that way or another, but for the
most of them it is always a page aligned page in BSS and most definitions
of ZERO_PAGE do virt_to_page(empty_zero_page).
Move Linus vetted x86 definition of empty_zero_page and ZERO_PAGE() to the
core MM and drop these definitions in architectures that do not implement
colored zero page (MIPS and s390).
ZERO_PAGE() remains a macro because turning it to a wrapper for a static
inline causes severe pain in header dependencies.
For the most part the change is mechanical, with these being noteworthy:
* alpha: aliased empty_zero_page with ZERO_PGE that was also used for boot
parameters. Switching to a generic empty_zero_page removes the aliasing
and keeps ZERO_PGE for boot parameters only
* arm64: uses __pa_symbol() in ZERO_PAGE() so that definition of
ZERO_PAGE() is kept intact.
* m68k/parisc/um: allocated empty_zero_page from memblock,
although they do not support zero page coloring and having it in BSS
will work fine.
* sparc64 can have empty_zero_page in BSS rather allocate it, but it
can't use virt_to_page() for BSS. Keep it's definition of ZERO_PAGE()
but instead of allocating it, make mem_map_zero point to
empty_zero_page.
* sh: used empty_zero_page for boot parameters at the very early boot.
Rename the parameters page to boot_params_page and let sh use the generic
empty_zero_page.
* hexagon: had an amusing comment about empty_zero_page
/* A handy thing to have if one has the RAM. Declared in head.S */
that unfortunately had to go :)

Recent changes replaced the use of no_64bit_msi with msi_addr_mask, which
is now expected to be initialized to DMA_BIT_MASK(64) during PCI device
setup. On SPARC systems, this initialization was inadvertently missed for
devices instantiated from device tree nodes, leaving msi_addr_mask unset
for OF-created pci_dev instances. As a result, MSI address validation fails
during probe, causing affected devices to fail initialization.
Initialize pdev->msi_addr_mask to DMA_BIT_MASK(64) in of_create_pci_dev()
so that MSI address validation succeeds and PCI device probing works as
expected.

Commit 3e86e4d74c04 ("kbuild: keep .modinfo section in
vmlinux.unstripped") added .modinfo to ELF_DETAILS while removing it
from COMMON_DISCARDS, as it was needed in vmlinux.unstripped and
ELF_DETAILS was present in all architecture specific vmlinux linker
scripts. While this shuffle is fine for vmlinux, ELF_DETAILS and
COMMON_DISCARDS may be used by other linker scripts, such as the s390
and x86 compressed boot images, which may not expect to have a .modinfo
section. In certain circumstances, this could result in a bootloader
failing to load the compressed kernel [1].
Commit ddc6cbef3ef1 ("s390/boot/vmlinux.lds.S: Ensure bzImage ends with
SecureBoot trailer") recently addressed this for the s390 bzImage but
the same bug remains for arm, parisc, and x86. The presence of .modinfo
in the x86 bzImage was the root cause of the issue worked around with
commit d50f21091358 ("kbuild: align modinfo section for Secureboot
Authenticode EDK2 compat"). misc.c in arch/x86/boot/compressed includes
lib/decompress_unzstd.c, which in turn includes lib/xxhash.c and its
MODULE_LICENSE / MODULE_DESCRIPTION macros due to the STATIC definition.
Split .modinfo out from ELF_DETAILS into its own macro and handle it in
all vmlinux linker scripts. Discard .modinfo in the places where it was
previously being discarded from being in COMMON_DISCARDS, as it has
never been necessary in those uses.

This converts some of the visually simpler cases that have been split
over multiple lines. I only did the ones that are easy to verify the
resulting diff by having just that final GFP_KERNEL argument on the next
line.
Somebody should probably do a proper coccinelle script for this, but for
me the trivial script actually resulted in an assertion failure in the
middle of the script. I probably had made it a bit _too_ trivial.
So after fighting that far a while I decided to just do some of the
syntactically simpler cases with variations of the previous 'sed'
scripts.
The more syntactically complex multi-line cases would mostly really want
whitespace cleanup anyway.

This was done entirely with mindless brute force, using
git grep -l '\<k[vmz]*alloc_objs*(.*, GFP_KERNEL)' |
xargs sed -i 's/\(alloc_objs*(.*\), GFP_KERNEL)/\1)/'
to convert the new alloc_obj() users that had a simple GFP_KERNEL
argument to just drop that argument.
Note that due to the extreme simplicity of the scripting, any slightly
more complex cases spread over multiple lines would not be triggered:
they definitely exist, but this covers the vast bulk of the cases, and
the resulting diff is also then easier to check automatically.
For the same reason the 'flex' versions will be done as a separate
conversion.

This is the result of running the Coccinelle script from
scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci. The script is designed to
avoid scalar types (which need careful case-by-case checking), and
instead replace kmalloc-family calls that allocate struct or union
object instances:
Single allocations: kmalloc(sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with: kmalloc_obj(TYPE, ...)
Array allocations: kmalloc_array(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with: kmalloc_objs(TYPE, COUNT, ...)
Flex array allocations: kmalloc(struct_size(PTR, FAM, COUNT), ...)
are replaced with: kmalloc_flex(*PTR, FAM, COUNT, ...)
(where TYPE may also be *VAR)
The resulting allocations no longer return "void *", instead returning
"TYPE *".

Pull scheduler updates from Ingo Molnar:
"Scheduler Kconfig space updates:
- Further consolidate configurable preemption modes (Peter Zijlstra)
Reduce the number of architectures that are allowed to offer
PREEMPT_NONE and PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY, reducing the number of
preemption models from four to just two: 'full' and 'lazy' on
up-to-date architectures (arm64, loongarch, powerpc, riscv, s390,
x86).
None and voluntary are only available as legacy features on
platforms that don't implement lazy preemption yet, or which don't
even support preemption.
The goal is to eventually remove cond_resched() and voluntary
preemption altogether.
RSEQ based 'scheduler time slice extension' support (Thomas Gleixner
and Peter Zijlstra):
This allows a thread to request a time slice extension when it enters
a critical section to avoid contention on a resource when the thread
is scheduled out inside of the critical section.
- Add fields and constants for time slice extension
- Provide static branch for time slice extensions
- Add statistics for time slice extensions
- Add prctl() to enable time slice extensions
- Implement sys_rseq_slice_yield()
- Implement syscall entry work for time slice extensions
- Implement time slice extension enforcement timer
- Reset slice extension when scheduled
- Implement rseq_grant_slice_extension()
- entry: Hook up rseq time slice extension
- selftests: Implement time slice extension test
- Allow registering RSEQ with slice extension
- Move slice_ext_nsec to debugfs
- Lower default slice extension
- selftests/rseq: Add rseq slice histogram script
Scheduler performance/scalability improvements:
- Update rq->avg_idle when a task is moved to an idle CPU, which
improves the scalability of various workloads (Shubhang Kaushik)
- Reorder fields in 'struct rq' for better caching (Blake Jones)
- Fair scheduler SMP NOHZ balancing code speedups (Shrikanth Hegde):
- Move checking for nohz cpus after time check
- Change likelyhood of nohz.nr_cpus
- Remove nohz.nr_cpus and use weight of cpumask instead
- Avoid false sharing for sched_clock_irqtime (Wangyang Guo)
- Cleanups (Yury Norov):
- Drop useless cpumask_empty() in find_energy_efficient_cpu()
- Simplify task_numa_find_cpu()
- Use cpumask_weight_and() in sched_balance_find_dst_group()
DL scheduler updates:
- Add a deadline server for sched_ext tasks (by Andrea Righi and Joel
Fernandes, with fixes by Peter Zijlstra)
RT scheduler updates:
- Skip currently executing CPU in rto_next_cpu() (Chen Jinghuang)
Entry code updates and performance improvements (Jinjie Ruan)
This is part of the scheduler tree in this cycle due to inter-
dependencies with the RSEQ based time slice extension work:
- Remove unused syscall argument from syscall_trace_enter()
- Rework syscall_exit_to_user_mode_work() for architecture reuse
- Add arch_ptrace_report_syscall_entry/exit()

Add support for the clone3 system call to the SPARC architectures.
The implementation follows the pattern of the original clone syscall.
However, instead of explicitly calling kernel_clone, the clone3
handler calls the generic sys_clone3 handler in kernel/fork.
In case no stack is provided, the parents stack is reused.
The return value convention for clone3 follows the regular kernel return
value convention (in contrast to the original clone/fork on SPARC).

Flush all uncommitted user windows before calling the generic syscall
handlers for clone, fork, and vfork.
Prior to entering the arch common handlers sparc_{clone|fork|vfork}, the
arch-specific syscall wrappers for these syscalls will attempt to flush
all windows (including user windows).
In the window overflow trap handlers on both SPARC{32|64},
if the window can't be stored (i.e due to MMU related faults) the routine
backups the user window and increments a thread counter (wsaved).
By adding a synchronization point after the flush attempt, when fault
handling is enabled, any uncommitted user windows will be flushed.

Provide a new syscall which has the only purpose to yield the CPU after the
kernel granted a time slice extension.
sched_yield() is not suitable for that because it unconditionally
schedules, but the end of the time slice extension is not required to
schedule when the task was already preempted. This also allows to have a
strict check for termination to catch user space invoking random syscalls
including sched_yield() from a time slice extension region.

SPARC T5-2 dts describes some PCI BARs as 64-bit resources without the
pref(etchable) bit (0x83... vs 0xc3... in assigned-addresses) for address
ranges above the 4G threshold. Such resources cannot be placed into a
non-prefetchable PCI bridge window that is capable only of 32-bit
addressing. As such, it looks like the platform is improperly described by
the dts.
The kernel detects this problem (see the IORESOURCE_PREFETCH check in
pci_find_parent_resource()) and fails to assign these BAR resources to the
resource tree due to lack of a compatible bridge window.
Prior to 754babaaf333 ("sparc/PCI: Remove pcibios_enable_device() as they
do nothing extra") SPARC arch code did not test whether device resources
were successfully in the resource tree when enabling a device, effectively
hiding the problem. After removing the arch-specific enable code,
pci_enable_resources() refuses to enable the device when it finds not all
mem resources are assigned, and therefore mpt3sas can't be enabled:
pci 0001:04:00.0: reg 0x14: [mem 0x801110000000-0x80111000ffff 64bit]
pci 0001:04:00.0: reg 0x1c: [mem 0x801110040000-0x80111007ffff 64bit]
pci 0001:04:00.0: BAR 1 [mem 0x801110000000-0x80111000ffff 64bit]: can't claim; no compatible bridge window
pci 0001:04:00.0: BAR 3 [mem 0x801110040000-0x80111007ffff 64bit]: can't claim; no compatible bridge window
mpt3sas 0001:04:00.0: BAR 1 [mem size 0x00010000 64bit]: not assigned; can't enable device
For clarity, this filtered log only shows failures for one mpt3sas device
but other devices fail similarly. In the reported case, the end result with
all the failures is an unbootable system.
Things appeared to "work" before 754babaaf333 ("sparc/PCI: Remove
pcibios_enable_device() as they do nothing extra") because the resource
tree is agnostic to whether PCI BAR resources are properly in the tree or
not. So as long as there was a parent resource (e.g. a root bus resource)
that contains the address range, the resource tree code just places
resource request underneath it without any consideration to the
intermediate BAR resource. While it worked, it's incorrect setup still.
Add an OF fixup to set the IORESOURCE_PREFETCH flag for a 64-bit PCI
resource that has the end address above 4G requiring placement into the
prefetchable window. Also log the issue.
Fixes: 754babaaf333 ("sparc/PCI: Remove pcibios_enable_device() as they do nothing extra")

mm_get_unmapped_area() is a wrapper around arch_get_unmapped_area() /
arch_get_unmapped_area_topdown(), both of which search current->mm for
some free space. Neither take an mm_struct - they implicitly operate on
current->mm.
But the wrapper takes an mm_struct and uses it to decide whether to search
bottom up or top down. All callers pass in current->mm for this, so
everything is working consistently. But it feels like an accident waiting
to happen; eventually someone will call that function with a different mm,
expecting to find free space in it, but what gets returned is free space
in the current mm.
So let's simplify by removing the parameter and have the wrapper use
current->mm to decide which end to start at. Now everything is consistent
and self-documenting.
