<title>ARM: 9233/1: stacktrace: Skip frame pointer boundary check for call_with_stack()</title>

<id>urn:sha1:5854e4d8530e6ed4c2532a71a6b0474e199d44dd</id>
<content type='text'>
When using the frame pointer unwinder, it was found that the stack trace
output of stack_trace_save() is incomplete if the stack contains
call_with_stack():

 [0x7f00002c] dump_stack_task+0x2c/0x90 [hrtimer]
 [0x7f0000a0] hrtimer_hander+0x10/0x18 [hrtimer]

 [0x808ab15c] generic_handle_arch_irq+0x60/0x80
 [0x8051191c] call_with_stack+0x1c/0x20

For the frame pointer unwinder, unwind_frame() checks stackframe::fp by
stackframe::sp. Since call_with_stack() switches the SP from one stack
to another, stackframe::fp and stackframe: :sp will point to different
stacks, so we can no longer check stackframe::fp by stackframe::sp. Skip
checking stackframe::fp at this point to avoid this problem.

Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:
 "Most of the MM queue. A few things are still pending.

  Liam's maple tree rework didn't make it. This has resulted in a few
  other minor patch series being held over for next time.

  Multi-gen LRU still isn't merged as we were waiting for mapletree to
  stabilize. The current plan is to merge MGLRU into -mm soon and to
  later reintroduce mapletree, with a view to hopefully getting both
  into 6.1-rc1.

  Summary:

   - The usual batches of cleanups from Baoquan He, Muchun Song, Miaohe
     Lin, Yang Shi, Anshuman Khandual and Mike Rapoport

   - Some kmemleak fixes from Patrick Wang and Waiman Long

   - DAMON updates from SeongJae Park

   - memcg debug/visibility work from Roman Gushchin

   - vmalloc speedup from Uladzislau Rezki

   - more folio conversion work from Matthew Wilcox

   - enhancements for coherent device memory mapping from Alex Sierra

   - addition of shared pages tracking and CoW support for fsdax, from
     Shiyang Ruan

   - hugetlb optimizations from Mike Kravetz

   - Mel Gorman has contributed some pagealloc changes to improve
     latency and realtime behaviour.

   - mprotect soft-dirty checking has been improved by Peter Xu

<content type='text'>
When offset is larger than the size of the bit array, we should not
attempt to access the array as we can perform an access beyond the
end of the array. Fix this by changing the pre-condition.

Using "cmp r2, r1; bhs ..." covers us for the size == 0 case, since
this will always take the branch when r1 is zero, irrespective of
the value of r2. This means we can fix this bug without adding any
additional code!

This enables ARCH_HAS_VM_GET_PAGE_PROT on the platform and exports
standard vm_get_page_prot() implementation via DECLARE_VM_GET_PAGE_PROT,
which looks up a private and static protection_map[] array.  Subsequently
all __SXXX and __PXXX macros can be dropped which are no longer needed.

     This was already gone from all major architectures, but now we can
     finally remove it everywhere, which loses some particularly tricky
     and error-prone code. There is a small merge conflict against a
     parisc cleanup, the solution is to use their new version.

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

     The hardware is still used and the code is in reasonable shape, but
     the mainline port is not actively maintained any more, as all
     remaining users are thought to run vendor kernels that would never
     be updated to a future release.

There are no remaining callers of set_fs(), so CONFIG_SET_FS
can be removed globally, along with the thread_info field and
any references to it.

This turns access_ok() into a cheaper check against TASK_SIZE_MAX.

As CONFIG_SET_FS is now gone, drop all remaining references to
set_fs()/get_fs(), mm_segment_t, user_addr_max() and uaccess_kernel().

The ARM version of the accelerated XOR routines are simply the 8-way C
routines passed through the auto-vectorizer with SIMD codegen enabled.
This used to require GCC version 4.6 at least, but given that 5.1 is now
the baseline, this check is no longer necessary, and actually
misidentifies Clang as GCC &lt; 4.6 as Clang defines the GCC major/minor as
well, but makes no attempt at doing this in a way that conveys feature
parity with a certain version of GCC (which would not be a great idea in
the first place).

So let's drop the version check, and make the auto-vectorize pragma
(which is based on a GCC-specific command line option) GCC-only. Since
Clang performs SIMD auto-vectorization by default at -O2, no pragma is
necessary here.

The memset implementation carves up the code in different sections, each
covered with their own unwind info. In this case, it is done in a way
similar to how the compiler might do it, to disambiguate between parts
where the return address is in LR and the SP is unmodified, and parts
where a stack frame is live, and the unwinder needs to know the size of
the stack frame and the location of the return address within it.

Only the placement of the unwind directives is slightly odd: the stack
pushes are placed in the wrong sections, which may confuse the unwinder
when attempting to unwind with PC pointing at the stack push in
question.

So let's fix this up, by reordering the directives and instructions as
appropriate.

<title>ARM: memmove: use frame pointer as unwind anchor</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.zx2c4.com/linux-dev/commit/?id=ccb81601acc092711bfb75787bce467b7dbef4b2'/>
<id>urn:sha1:ccb81601acc092711bfb75787bce467b7dbef4b2</id>
<content type='text'>
The memmove routine is a bit unusual in the way it manages the stack
pointer: depending on the execution path through the function, the SP
assumes different values as different subsets of the register file are
preserved and restored again. This is problematic when it comes to EHABI
unwind info, as it is not instruction accurate, and does not allow
tracking the SP value as it changes.

Commit 207a6cb06990c ("ARM: 8224/1: Add unwinding support for memmove
function") addressed this by carving up the function in different chunks
as far as the unwinder is concerned, and keeping a set of unwind
directives for each of them, each corresponding with the state of the
stack pointer during execution of the chunk in question. This not only
duplicates unwind info unnecessarily, but it also complicates unwinding
the stack upon overflow.

Instead, let's do what the compiler does when the SP is updated halfway
through a function, which is to use a frame pointer and emit the
appropriate unwind directives to communicate this to the unwinder.

Note that Thumb-2 uses R7 for this, while ARM uses R11 aka FP. So let's
avoid touching R7 in the body of the function, so that Thumb-2 can use
it as the frame pointer. R11 was not modified in the first place.
