Originally before legacy bootmem was removed, the memory for the range was correctly reserved by reserve_bootmem_region(). But since memblock has been selected for early memory allocation the function can be utilized only after paging is fully initialized (as it is done by memblock_free_all() function). So calling it from arch_mem_init() method is prone to errors, and at this stage we need to reserve the memory in the memblock allocator.

Really the loop is pointless, since it walks over memblock-reserved memory regions and mark them as reserved in memblock. Before bootmem was removed from the kernel, this loop had been used to map the memory reserved by CMA into the legacy bootmem allocator. But now the early memory allocator is memblock, which is used by CMA for reservation, so we don't need any mapping anymore.

The reserved_end variable had been used by the bootmem_init() code to find a lowest limit of memory available for memmap blob. The original code just tried to find a free memory space higher than kernel was placed. This limitation seems justified for the memmap ragion search process, but I can't see any obvious reason to reserve the unused space below kernel seeing some platforms place it much higher than standard 1MB. Moreover the RELOCATION config enables it to be loaded at any memory address. So lets reserve the memory occupied by the kernel only, leaving the region below being free for allocations. After doing this we can now discard the code freeing a space between kernel _text and VMLINUX_LOAD_ADDRESS symbols since it's going to be free anyway (unless marked as reserved by platforms).

Clean up our configuration of the EBase register by making configure_exception_vector() write to it unconditionally on systems implementing MIPSr2 or higher, and removing the duplicate code in per_cpu_trap_init(). The latter would have duplicated work on systems with vectored interrupts, and didn't set BEV for safety like the configure_exception_vector() version of the code does.

Currently we allocate the exception vector on systems which use a vectored interrupt mode, but otherwise attempt to reuse whatever exception vector the bootloader uses. This can be problematic for a number of reasons: 1) The memory isn't properly marked reserved in the memblock allocator. We've relied on the fact that EBase is generally in the memory below the kernel image which we don't free, but this is about to change. 2) Recent versions of U-Boot place their exception vector high in kseg0, in memory which isn't protected by being lower than the kernel anyway & can end up being clobbered. 3) We are unnecessarily reliant upon there being memory at the address EBase points to upon entry to the kernel. This is often the case, but if the bootloader doesn't configure EBase & leaves it with its default value then we rely upon there being memory at physical address 0 for no good reason. Improve this situation by allocating the exception vector in all cases when running on MIPSr2 or higher, and reserving the memory for MIPSr1 or lower. This ensures we don't clobber the exception vector in any configuration, and for MIPSr2 & higher removes the need for memory at physical address 0.

Before bootmem was completely removed from the kernel, the last loop in the bootmem_init() had been used to reserve the correspondingly marked regions, initialize sparsemem sections and to free the low memory pages, which then would be used for early memory allocations. After the bootmem removing patchset had been merged the loop was left to do the first two things only. But it didn't do them quite well. First of all it leaves the BOOT_MEM_INIT_RAM memory types unreserved, which is definitely bug (although it isn't noticeable due to being used by the kernel region only, which is fully marked as reserved). Secondly the reservation is supposed to be done for any memory including the high one. (I couldn't figure out why the highmem was ignored in the first place, since platforms and dts' may declare any memory region for reservation) Thirdly the reserved_end variable had been used here to not accidentally free memory occupied by kernel. Since we already reserved the corresponding region higher in this method there is no need in using the variable here anymore. Fourthly the sparsemem should be aware of all the memory types in the system including the ROM_DATA even if it is going to be reserved for the whole system uptime. Finally after all these notes are fixed the loop of memory reservation can be freely merged into the memory installation loop as it's done in this patch.

There is a pointless code left in the bootmem_init() method since the bootmem allocator removal. First part resides the PFN ranges calculation loop. The conditional expressions and continue operator are useless there, since nothing is done after them. Second part is in RAM ranges installation loop. We can simplify the conditions cascade a bit without much of the logic redefinition, so to reduce the code length. In particular the end boundary value can be verified after the possible reduction to be below max_low_pfn.

Current MIPS platform code makes sure the kernel text, data and init sections are added to the boot memory map pool right after the arch-specific memory setup method has been executed. But for some reason the MIPS platform code skipped the kernel .bss section, which definitely should be in the boot mem pool as well in any case. Lets fix this just be adding the space between __bss_start and __bss_stop.

Both arch_static_branch() & arch_static_branch_jump() emit a control transfer instruction (ie. branch or jump) without disabling assembler re-ordering. As such the assembler will automatically fill their delay slots. Both functions follow their branch or jump with an explicit nop that at first appears to be there to fill the delay slot, but given that the assembler will do that the explicit nops serve no purpose & we end up with our branch or jump followed by 2 nops. Remove the redundant nops. Signed-off-by: Paul Burton <paul.burton@mips.com> Cc: linux-mips@vger.kernel.org

A small batch of MIPS fixes for 5.1: - An interrupt masking fix for Loongson-based Lemote 2F systems (fixing a regression from v3.19). - A relocation fix for configurations in which the devicetree is stored in an ELF section (fixing a regression from v4.7). - Fix jump labels for MIPSr6 kernels where they previously could inadvertently place a control transfer instruction in a forbidden slot & take unexpected exceptions (fixing MIPSr6 support added in v4.0). - Extend an existing USB power workaround for the Netgear WNDR3400 to v2 boards in addition to the v3 ones that already used it. - Remove the custom MIPS32 definition of __kernel_fsid_t to make it consistent with MIPS64 & every other architecture, in particular resolving issues for code which tries to print the val field whose type previously differed (though had identical memory layout). Merged into mips-next to gain the MIPSr6 jump label fix before enabling jump labels by default for generic kernel builds. Signed-off-by: Paul Burton <paul.burton@mips.com>

Emulation of the tlbwr instruction, which writes a TLB entry to a random index in the TLB, currently uses get_random_bytes() to generate a 4 byte random number which we then mask to form the index. This is overkill in a couple of ways: - We don't need 4 bytes here since we mask the value to form a 6 bit number anyway, so we waste /dev/random entropy generating 3 random bytes that are unused. - We don't need crypto-grade randomness here - the architecture spec allows implementations to use any algorithm & merely encourages that some pseudo-randomness be used rather than a simple counter. The fast prandom_u32() function fits that criteria well. So rather than using get_random_bytes() & consuming /dev/random entropy, switch to using the faster prandom_u32_max() which provides what we need here whilst also performing the masking/modulo for us.

Currently MIPS32 supports a JIT for classic BPF only, not extended BPF. This patch adds JIT support for extended BPF on MIPS32, so code is actually JIT'ed instead of being only interpreted. Instructions with 64-bit operands are not supported at this point. We can delete classic BPF because the kernel will translate classic BPF programs into extended BPF and JIT them, eliminating the need for classic BPF.

During a simple no-op (nothing changed) build I saw 39 invocations of the C compiler with the argument "-print-file-name=include". We don't need to call the C compiler 39 times for this--one time will suffice. Let's change NOSTDINC_FLAGS to a simply expanded variable to avoid this since there doesn't appear to be any reason it should be recursively expanded. On my build this shaved ~400 ms off my "no-op" build. Note that the recursive expansion seems to date back to the (really old) commit e8f5bdb0 ("[PATCH] Makefile include path ordering"). It's a little unclear to me if the point of that patch was to switch the variable to be recursively expanded (which it did) or to avoid directly assigning to NOSTDINC_FLAGS (AKA to switch to +=) because someone else (out of tree?) was setting it. I presume later since if the only goal was to switch to recursive expansion the patch would have just removed the ":".

Thus it would be more foolproof to explicitly use 1.0 (as we always did) than to rely on dpkg-source's defaults. * In a similar vein, debian/rules is not made executable by mkdebian, and dpkg-source warns about that but still silently fixes the file.

The of_find_device_by_node() takes a reference to the underlying device structure, we should release that reference. The implementation of this semantic code search is: In a function, for a local variable returned by calling of_find_device_by_node(), a, if it is released by a function such as put_device()/of_dev_put()/platform_device_put() after the last use, it is considered that there is no reference leak; b, if it is passed back to the caller via dev_get_drvdata()/platform_get_drvdata()/get_device(), etc., the reference will be released in other functions, and the current function also considers that there is no reference leak; c, for the rest of the situation, the current function should release the reference by calling put_device, this code search will report the corresponding error message. By using this semantic code search, we have found some object reference leaks, such as: commit 11907e9d ("ASoC: fsl-asoc-card: fix object reference leaks in fsl_asoc_card_probe") commit a12085d1 ("mtd: rawnand: atmel: fix possible object reference leak") commit 11493f26 ("mtd: rawnand: jz4780: fix possible object reference leak") There are still dozens of reference leaks in the current kernel code. Further, for the case of b, the object returned to other functions may also have a reference leak, we will continue to develop other cocci scripts to further check the reference leak.

Pull pidfd system call from Christian Brauner: "This introduces the ability to use file descriptors from /proc/<pid>/ as stable handles on struct pid. Even if a pid is recycled the handle will not change. For a start these fds can be used to send signals to the processes they refer to. With the ability to use /proc/<pid> fds as stable handles on struct pid we can fix a long-standing issue where after a process has exited its pid can be reused by another process. If a caller sends a signal to a reused pid it will end up signaling the wrong process. With this patchset we enable a variety of use cases. One obvious example is that we can now safely delegate an important part of process management - sending signals - to processes other than the parent of a given process by sending file descriptors around via scm rights and not fearing that the given process will have been recycled in the meantime. It also allows for easy testing whether a given process is still alive or not by sending signal 0 to a pidfd which is quite handy. There has been some interest in this feature e.g. from systems management (systemd, glibc) and container managers. I have requested and gotten comments from glibc to make sure that this syscall is suitable for their needs as well. In the future I expect it to take on most other pid-based signal syscalls. But such features are left for the future once they are needed. This has been sitting in linux-next for quite a while and has not caused any issues. It comes with selftests which verify basic functionality and also test that a recycled pid cannot be signaled via a pidfd. Jon has written about a prior version of this patchset. It should cover the basic functionality since not a lot has changed since then: https://lwn.net/Articles/773459/ The commit message for the syscall itself is extensively documenting the syscall, including it's functionality and extensibility" * tag 'pidfd-v5.1-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/brauner/linux: selftests: add tests for pidfd_send_signal() signal: add pidfd_send_signal() syscall

Pull device-dax updates from Dan Williams: "New device-dax infrastructure to allow persistent memory and other "reserved" / performance differentiated memories, to be assigned to the core-mm as "System RAM". Some users want to use persistent memory as additional volatile memory. They are willing to cope with potential performance differences, for example between DRAM and 3D Xpoint, and want to use typical Linux memory management apis rather than a userspace memory allocator layered over an mmap() of a dax file. The administration model is to decide how much Persistent Memory (pmem) to use as System RAM, create a device-dax-mode namespace of that size, and then assign it to the core-mm. The rationale for device-dax is that it is a generic memory-mapping driver that can be layered over any "special purpose" memory, not just pmem. On subsequent boots udev rules can be used to restore the memory assignment. One implication of using pmem as RAM is that mlock() no longer keeps data off persistent media. For this reason it is recommended to enable NVDIMM Security (previously merged for 5.0) to encrypt pmem contents at rest. We considered making this recommendation an actively enforced requirement, but in the end decided to leave it as a distribution / administrator policy to allow for emulation and test environments that lack security capable NVDIMMs. Summary: - Replace the /sys/class/dax device model with /sys/bus/dax, and include a compat driver so distributions can opt-in to the new ABI. - Allow for an alternative driver for the device-dax address-range - Introduce the 'kmem' driver to hotplug / assign a device-dax address-range to the core-mm. - Arrange for the device-dax target-node to be onlined so that the newly added memory range can be uniquely referenced by numa apis" NOTE! I'm not entirely happy with the whole "PMEM as RAM" model because we currently have special - and very annoying rules in the kernel about accessing PMEM only with the "MC safe" accessors, because machine checks inside the regular repeat string copy functions can be fatal in some (not described) circumstances. And apparently the PMEM modules can cause that a lot more than regular RAM. The argument is that this happens because PMEM doesn't necessarily get scrubbed at boot like RAM does, but that is planned to be added for the user space tooling. Quoting Dan from another email: "The exposure can be reduced in the volatile-RAM case by scanning for and clearing errors before it is onlined as RAM. The userspace tooling for that can be in place before v5.1-final. There's also runtime notifications of errors via acpi_nfit_uc_error_notify() from background scrubbers on the DIMM devices. With that mechanism the kernel could proactively clear newly discovered poison in the volatile case, but that would be additional development more suitable for v5.2. I understand the concern, and the need to highlight this issue by tapping the brakes on feature development, but I don't see PMEM as RAM making the situation worse when the exposure is also there via DAX in the PMEM case. Volatile-RAM is arguably a safer use case since it's possible to repair pages where the persistent case needs active application coordination" * tag 'devdax-for-5.1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm: device-dax: "Hotplug" persistent memory for use like normal RAM mm/resource: Let walk_system_ram_range() search child resources mm/memory-hotplug: Allow memory resources to be children mm/resource: Move HMM pr_debug() deeper into resource code mm/resource: Return real error codes from walk failures device-dax: Add a 'modalias' attribute to DAX 'bus' devices device-dax: Add a 'target_node' attribute device-dax: Auto-bind device after successful new_id acpi/nfit, device-dax: Identify differentiated memory with a unique numa-node device-dax: Add /sys/class/dax backwards compatibility device-dax: Add support for a dax override driver device-dax: Move resource pinning+mapping into the common driver device-dax: Introduce bus + driver model device-dax: Start defining a dax bus model device-dax: Remove multi-resource infrastructure device-dax: Kill dax_region base device-dax: Kill dax_region ida
