When a process runs out of stack the parisc kernel wrongly faults with SIGBUS
instead of the expected SIGSEGV signal.
This example shows how the kernel faults:
do_page_fault() command='a.out' type=15 address=0xfaac2000 in libc-2.24.so[f8308000+16c000]
trap #15: Data TLB miss fault, vm_start = 0xfa2c2000, vm_end = 0xfaac2000
The vma->vm_end value is the first address which does not belong to the vma, so
adjust the check to include vma->vm_end to the range for which to send the
SIGSEGV signal.
This patch unbreaks building the debian libsigsegv package.

The H_GET_24X7_CATALOG_PAGE hcall can return a signed error code, so fix
this in the code.
The H_GET_24X7_DATA hcall can return a signed error code, so fix this in
the code. Also, don't truncate it to 32 bit to use as return value for
make_24x7_request. In case of error h_24x7_event_commit_txn passes that
return value to generic code, so it should be a proper errno. The other
caller of make_24x7_request is single_24x7_request, whose callers don't
actually care which error code is returned so they are not affected by this
change.
Finally, h_24x7_get_value doesn't use the error code from
single_24x7_request, so there's no need to store it.

hv-24x7.h has a comment mentioning that result_buffer->results can't be
indexed as a normal array because it may contain results of variable sizes,
so fix the loop in h_24x7_event_commit_txn to take the variation into
account when iterating through results.
Another problem in that loop is that it sets h24x7hw->events[i] to NULL.
This assumes that only the i'th result maps to the i'th request, but that
is not guaranteed to be true. We need to leave the event in the array so
that we don't dereference a NULL pointer in case more than one result maps
to one request.
We still assume that each result has only one result element, so warn if
that assumption is violated.

H_GET_24X7_CATALOG_PAGE needs to be passed the version number obtained from
the first catalog page obtained previously. This is a 64 bit number, but
create_events_from_catalog truncates it to 32-bit.
This worked on POWER8, but POWER9 actually uses the upper bits so the call
fails with H_P3 because the hypervisor doesn't recognize the version.
This patch also adds the hcall return code to the error message, which is
helpful when debugging the problem.

altmap is a driver provided region that is used to provide the backing
storage for the struct pages of ZONE_DEVICE memory. In situations where
large amount of ZONE_DEVICE memory is being added to the system the
altmap reduces pressure on main system memory by allowing the mm/

Lawrence Brakmo says:
====================
bpf: Add support for sock_ops
Created a new BPF program type, BPF_PROG_TYPE_SOCK_OPS, and a corresponding
struct that allows BPF programs of this type to access some of the
socket's fields (such as IP addresses, ports, etc.) and setting
connection parameters such as buffer sizes, initial window, SYN/SYN-ACK
RTOs, etc.
Unlike current BPF program types that expect to be called at a particular
place in the network stack code, SOCK_OPS program can be called at
different places and use an "op" field to indicate the context. There
are currently two types of operations, those whose effect is through
their return value and those whose effect is through the new
bpf_setsocketop BPF helper function.
Example operands of the first type are:
BPF_SOCK_OPS_TIMEOUT_INIT
BPF_SOCK_OPS_RWND_INIT
BPF_SOCK_OPS_NEEDS_ECN
Example operands of the secont type are:
BPF_SOCK_OPS_TCP_CONNECT_CB
BPF_SOCK_OPS_ACTIVE_ESTABLISHED_CB
BPF_SOCK_OPS_PASSIVE_ESTABLISHED_CB
Current operands are only called during connection establishment so
there should not be any BPF overheads after connection establishment. The
main idea is to use connection information form both hosts, such as IP
addresses and ports to allow setting of per connection parameters to
optimize the connection's peformance.
Alghough there are already 3 mechanisms to set parameters (sysctls,
route metrics and setsockopts), this new mechanism provides some
disticnt advantages. Unlike sysctls, it can set parameters per
connection. In contrast to route metrics, it can also use port numbers
and information provided by a user level program. In addition, it could
set parameters probabilistically for evaluation purposes (i.e. do
something different on 10% of the flows and compare results with the
other 90% of the flows). Also, in cases where IPv6 addresses contain
geographic information, the rules to make changes based on the distance
(or RTT) between the hosts are much easier than route metric rules and
can be global. Finally, unlike setsockopt, it does not require
application changes and it can be updated easily at any time.
It uses the existing bpf cgroups infrastructure so the programs can be
attached per cgroup with full inheritance support. Although the bpf cgroup
framework already contains a sock related program type (BPF_PROG_TYPE_CGROUP_SOCK),
I created the new type (BPF_PROG_TYPE_SOCK_OPS) beccause the existing type
expects to be called only once during the connections's lifetime. In contrast,
the new program type will be called multiple times from different places in the
network stack code. For example, before sending SYN and SYN-ACKs to set
an appropriate timeout, when the connection is established to set congestion
control, etc. As a result it has "op" field to specify the type of operation
requested.
This patch set also includes sample BPF programs to demostrate the differnet
features.
v2: Formatting changes, rebased to latest net-next
v3: Fixed build issues, changed socket_ops to sock_ops throught,
fixed formatting issues, removed the syscall to load sock_ops
program and added functionality to use existing bpf attach and
bpf detach system calls, removed reader/writer locks in
sock_bpfops.c (used when saving sock_ops global program)
and fixed missing module refcount increment.
v4: Removed global sock_ops program and instead used existing cgroup bpf
infrastructure to support a new BPF_CGROUP_ATTCH type.
v5: fixed kbuild warning happening in bpf-cgroup.h
removed automatic converstion to host byte order from some sock_ops
fields (ipv4 and ipv6 addresses, remote port)
Added conversion to host byte order in some of the sample programs
Added to sample BPF program comments about using load_sock_ops to load
Removed is_req_sock field from bpf_sock_ops_kern and related places,
using sk_fullsock() instead.
v6: fixes to BPF helper function setsockopt (possible NULL deferencing, etc.)

of setting the sndcwnd clamp. This program assumes that if the
first 5.5 bytes of the host's IPv6 addresses are the same, then
the hosts are in the same datacenter and sets sndcwnd clamp to
100 packets, SYN and SYN-ACK RTOs to 10ms and send/receive buffer
sizes to 150KB.

Adds a new bpf_setsockopt for TCP sockets, TCP_BPF_SNDCWND_CLAMP, which
sets the initial congestion window. It is useful to limit the sndcwnd
when the host are close to each other (small RTT).

Sample BPF program that assumes hosts are far away (i.e. large RTTs)
and sets initial cwnd and initial receive window to 40 packets,
send and receive buffers to 1.5MB.
In practice there would be a test to insure the hosts are actually
far enough away.

Adds a new bpf_setsockopt for TCP sockets, TCP_BPF_IW, which sets the
initial congestion window. This can be used when the hosts are far
apart (large RTTs) and it is safe to start with a large inital cwnd.

Sample BPF program that sets congestion control to dctcp when both hosts
are within the same datacenter. In this example that is assumed to be
when they have the first 5.5 bytes of their IPv6 address are the same.

Added support for changing congestion control for SOCK_OPS bpf
programs through the setsockopt bpf helper function. It also adds
a new SOCK_OPS op, BPF_SOCK_OPS_NEEDS_ECN, that is needed for
congestion controls, like dctcp, that need to enable ECN in the
SYN packets.
