1. These tlb flush functions have been using vma instead mm long time
ago, but there is still some comments use mm as parameter.
2. the actual struct we use is vm_area_struct instead of vma_struct.
3. remove unused flush_kern_tlb_page.

Since commit 83109d5d5fba ("x86/build: Warn on orphan section placement"),
we get a warning for objects in orphan sections. The cpuidle implementation
for OMAP causes this when CONFIG_CPU_IDLE is disabled:
arm-linux-gnueabi-ld: warning: orphan section `__cpuidle_method_of_table' from `arch/arm/mach-omap2/pm33xx-core.o' being placed in section `__cpuidle_method_of_table'
arm-linux-gnueabi-ld: warning: orphan section `__cpuidle_method_of_table' from `arch/arm/mach-omap2/pm33xx-core.o' being placed in section `__cpuidle_method_of_table'
arm-linux-gnueabi-ld: warning: orphan section `__cpuidle_method_of_table' from `arch/arm/mach-omap2/pm33xx-core.o' being placed in section `__cpuidle_method_of_table'
Change the definition of CPUIDLE_METHOD_OF_DECLARE() to silently
drop the table and all code referenced from it when CONFIG_CPU_IDLE
is disabled.

In case of a use after free kernel oops, the freeing path of the object
is required to debug futher. In most of cases the object address is
present in one of the registers.
Thus check the register's address and if it belongs to slab, print its
alloc and free path.
e.g. in the below issue register r6 belongs to slab, and a use after
free issue occurred on one of its dereferenced values:
Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 6b6b6b6f

Patch series "huge vmalloc mappings", v13.
The kernel virtual mapping layer grew support for mapping memory with >
PAGE_SIZE ptes with commit 0ddab1d2ed66 ("lib/ioremap.c: add huge I/O
map capability interfaces"), and implemented support for using those
huge page mappings with ioremap.
According to the submission, the use-case is mapping very large
non-volatile memory devices, which could be GB or TB:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/1425404664-19675-1-git-send-email-toshi.kani@hp.com/
The benefit is said to be in the overhead of maintaining the mapping,
perhaps both in memory overhead and setup / teardown time. Memory
overhead for the mapping with a 4kB page and 8 byte page table is 2GB
per TB of mapping, down to 4MB / TB with 2MB pages.
The same huge page vmap infrastructure can be quite easily adapted and
used for mapping vmalloc memory pages without more complexity for arch
or core vmap code. However unlike ioremap, vmalloc page table overhead
is not a real problem, so the advantage to justify this is performance.
Several of the most structures in the kernel (e.g., vfs and network hash
tables) are allocated with vmalloc on NUMA machines, in order to
distribute access bandwidth over the machine. Mapping these with larger
pages can improve TLB usage significantly, for example this reduces TLB
misses by nearly 30x on a `git diff` workload on a 2-node POWER9 (59,800
-> 2,100) and reduces CPU cycles by 0.54%, due to vfs hashes being
allocated with 2MB pages.
[ Other numbers?
- The difference is even larger in a guest due to more costly TLB
misses.
- Eric Dumazet was keen on the network hash performance possibilities.
- Other archs? Ding was doing x86 testing. ]
The kernel module allocator also uses vmalloc to map module images even on
non-NUMA, which can result in high iTLB pressure on highly modular distro
type of kernels. This series does not implement huge mappings for modules
yet, but it's a step along the way. Rick Edgecombe was looking at that
IIRC.
The per-cpu allocator similarly might be able to take advantage of this.
Also on the todo list.
The disadvantages of this I can see are:
* Memory fragmentation can waste some physical memory because it will
attempt to allocate larger pages to fit the required size, rounding up
(once the requested size is >= 2MB).
- I don't see it being a big problem in practice unless some user
crops up that allocates thousands of 2.5MB ranges. We can tewak
heuristics a bit there if needed to reduce peak waste.
* Less granular mappings can make the NUMA distribution less balanced.
- Similar to the above.
- Could also allocate all major system hashes with one allocation
up-front and spread them all across the one block, which should help
overall NUMA distribution and reduce fragmentation waste.
* Callers might expect something about the underlying allocated pages.
- Tried to keep the apperance of base PAGE_SIZE pages throughout the
APIs and exposed data structures.
- Added a VM_NO_HUGE_VMAP flag to hammer troublesome cases with.
- Finally, added a nohugevmalloc boot option to turn it off (independent
of nohugeiomap).
This patch (of 14):
ARM uses its own PMD folding scheme which is missing pud_page which should
just pass through to pmd_page. Move this from the 3-level page table to
common header.

Newer Xen versions expose two Xen feature flags to tell us if the domain
is directly mapped or not. Only when a domain is directly mapped it
makes sense to enable swiotlb-xen on ARM.
Introduce a function on ARM to check the new Xen feature flags and also
to deal with the legacy case. Call the function xen_swiotlb_detect.

Although the SMCCC specification provides some limited functionality for
describing the presence of hypervisor and firmware services, this is
generally applicable only to functions designated as "Arm Architecture
Service Functions" and no portable discovery mechanism is provided for
standard hypervisor services, despite having a designated range of
function identifiers reserved by the specification.
In an attempt to avoid the need for additional firmware changes every
time a new function is added, introduce a UID to identify the service
provider as being compatible with KVM. Once this has been established,
additional services can be discovered via a feature bitmap.

Now that we have reduced the number of registers that we need to
preserve when calling v7_invalidate_l1 from the boot code, we can use
scratch registers to preserve the remaining ones, and get rid of the
mini stack entirely. This works around any issues regarding cache
behavior in relation to the uncached accesses to this memory, which is
hard to get right in the general case (i.e., both bare metal and under
virtualization)
While at it, switch v7_invalidate_l1 to using ip as a scratch register
instead of r4. This makes the function AAPCS compliant, and removes the
need to stash r4 in ip across the call.

Pull arm64 updates from Will Deacon:
- vDSO build improvements including support for building with BSD.
- Cleanup to the AMU support code and initialisation rework to support
cpufreq drivers built as modules.
- Removal of synthetic frame record from exception stack when entering
the kernel from EL0.
- Add support for the TRNG firmware call introduced by Arm spec
DEN0098.
- Cleanup and refactoring across the board.
- Avoid calling arch_get_random_seed_long() from
add_interrupt_randomness()
- Perf and PMU updates including support for Cortex-A78 and the v8.3
SPE extensions.
- Significant steps along the road to leaving the MMU enabled during
kexec relocation.
- Faultaround changes to initialise prefaulted PTEs as 'old' when
hardware access-flag updates are supported, which drastically
improves vmscan performance.
- CPU errata updates for Cortex-A76 (#1463225) and Cortex-A55
(#1024718)
- Preparatory work for yielding the vector unit at a finer granularity
in the crypto code, which in turn will one day allow us to defer
softirq processing when it is in use.
- Support for overriding CPU ID register fields on the command-line.

Giancarlo Ferrari reports the following oops while trying to use kexec:
Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 80112f38
pgd = fd7ef03e
[80112f38] *pgd=0001141e(bad)
Internal error: Oops: 80d [#1] PREEMPT SMP ARM
...
This is caused by machine_kexec() trying to set the kernel text to be
read/write, so it can poke values into the relocation code before
copying it - and an interrupt occuring which changes the page tables.
The subsequent writes then hit read-only sections that trigger a
data abort resulting in the above oops.
Fix this by copying the relocation code, and then writing the variables
into the destination, thereby avoiding the need to make the kernel text
read/write.

The SiRF Prima2 and Atlas platform code was contributed by Cambridge
Silicon Radio (CSR) after aquiring the original SiRF company, and
maintained by Barry Song. CSR was subsequently acquired by Qualcomm,
who no longer have an interest in maintaining the SoC platform but
instead have released more recent SoCs for the same market in the
Snapdragon family.
As Barry is no longer working for the company, nobody else there
wants to maintain it, and there are no third-party users, the
best way forward seems to be to completely remove it.
Thanks to Barry for maintaining the platform for the past ten years.

Macros used as functions can be problematic from the compiler perspective.
There was a build failure report caused primarily because of non reference
of an argument variable. Hence convert PUD level pgtable helper macros into
functions in order to avoid such problems in the future. In the process, it
fixes the argument variables sequence in set_pud() which probably remained
hidden for being a macro.

I'm being a bit conservative on the cutoff for this round due to the

along either later this week or early next week.
There is one issue in here: one of my test configurations

the .text.init alignment patch.
With any luck we'll sort out the issue, but given how many bugs get
fixed all over the place and how unrelated those features seem my
guess is that we're just running into something that's been lurking
for a while and has already been fixed in the newer QEMU (though I
wouldn't be surprised if it's one of these implicit assumptions we
have in the boot flow). If it was hardware I'd be strongly inclined to
look more closely, but given that users can upgrade their simulators
I'm less worried about it"

Pull TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL updates from Jens Axboe:
"This sits on top of of the core entry/exit and x86 entry branch from
the tip tree, which contains the generic and x86 parts of this work.
Here we convert the rest of the archs to support TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL.
With that done, we can get rid of JOBCTL_TASK_WORK from task_work and
signal.c, and also remove a deadlock work-around in io_uring around
knowing that signal based task_work waking is invoked with the sighand
wait queue head lock.
The motivation for this work is to decouple signal notify based
task_work, of which io_uring is a heavy user of, from sighand. The
sighand lock becomes a huge contention point, particularly for
threaded workloads where it's shared between threads. Even outside of
threaded applications it's slower than it needs to be.
Roman Gershman <romger@amazon.com> reported that his networked
workload dropped from 1.6M QPS at 80% CPU to 1.0M QPS at 100% CPU
after io_uring was changed to use TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL. The time was all
spent hammering on the sighand lock, showing 57% of the CPU time there
[1].
There are further cleanups possible on top of this. One example is
TIF_PATCH_PENDING, where a patch already exists to use
TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL instead. Hopefully this will also lead to more
consolidation, but the work stands on its own as well"

the past, CONFIG_GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS and CONFIG_ARCH_USES_GETTIMEOFFSET.
There was only one user left for the ARCH_USES_GETTIMEOFFSET variant
of clocksource implementations, the ARM EBSA110 platform. Rather than
changing to use modern timekeeping, we remove the platform entirely as
Russell no longer uses his machine and nobody else seems to have one
any more.
The conditional code for using arch_gettimeoffset() is removed as a
result.
For CONFIG_GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS, there are still a couple of platforms
not using clockevent drivers: parisc, ia64, most of m68k, and one Arm
platform. These all do timer ticks slighly differently, and this gets
cleaned up to the point they at least all call the same helper
function.
Instead of most platforms using 'select GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS' in
Kconfig, the polarity is now reversed, with the few remaining ones
selecting LEGACY_TIMER_TICK instead"

ourselves in the caller; location where the user registers have been

Pull kmap updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"The new preemtible kmap_local() implementation:
- Consolidate all kmap_atomic() internals into a generic
implementation which builds the base for the kmap_local() API and
make the kmap_atomic() interface wrappers which handle the
disabling/enabling of preemption and pagefaults.
- Switch the storage from per-CPU to per task and provide scheduler
support for clearing mapping when scheduling out and restoring them
when scheduling back in.
- Merge the migrate_disable/enable() code, which is also part of the
scheduler pull request. This was required to make the kmap_local()
interface available which does not disable preemption when a
mapping is established. It has to disable migration instead to
guarantee that the virtual address of the mapped slot is the same
across preemption.
- Provide better debug facilities: guard pages and enforced
utilization of the mapping mechanics on 64bit systems when the
architecture allows it.
- Provide the new kmap_local() API which can now be used to cleanup
the kmap_atomic() usage sites all over the place. Most of the usage
sites do not require the implicit disabling of preemption and
pagefaults so the penalty on 64bit and 32bit non-highmem systems is
removed and quite some of the code can be simplified. A wholesale
conversion is not possible because some usage depends on the
implicit side effects and some need to be cleaned up because they
work around these side effects.
The migrate disable side effect is only effective on highmem
systems and when enforced debugging is enabled. On 64bit and 32bit
non-highmem systems the overhead is completely avoided"

Pull arm64 updates from Catalin Marinas:
- Expose tag address bits in siginfo. The original arm64 ABI did not
expose any of the bits 63:56 of a tagged address in siginfo. In the
presence of user ASAN or MTE, this information may be useful. The
implementation is generic to other architectures supporting tags
(like SPARC ADI, subject to wiring up the arch code). The user will
have to opt in via sigaction(SA_EXPOSE_TAGBITS) so that the extra
bits, if available, become visible in si_addr.
- Default to 32-bit wide ZONE_DMA. Previously, ZONE_DMA was set to the
lowest 1GB to cope with the Raspberry Pi 4 limitations, to the
detriment of other platforms. With these changes, the kernel scans
the Device Tree dma-ranges and the ACPI IORT information before
deciding on a smaller ZONE_DMA.
- Strengthen READ_ONCE() to acquire when CONFIG_LTO=y. When building
with LTO, there is an increased risk of the compiler converting an
address dependency headed by a READ_ONCE() invocation into a control
dependency and consequently allowing for harmful reordering by the
CPU.
- Add CPPC FFH support using arm64 AMU counters.
- set_fs() removal on arm64. This renders the User Access Override
(UAO) ARMv8 feature unnecessary.
- Perf updates: PMU driver for the ARM DMC-620 memory controller, sysfs
identifier file for SMMUv3, stop event counters support for i.MX8MP,
enable the perf events-based hard lockup detector.
- Reorganise the kernel VA space slightly so that 52-bit VA
configurations can use more virtual address space.
- Improve the robustness of the arm64 memory offline event notifier.
- Pad the Image header to 64K following the EFI header definition
updated recently to increase the section alignment to 64K.
- Support CONFIG_CMDLINE_EXTEND on arm64.
- Do not use tagged PC in the kernel (TCR_EL1.TBID1==1), freeing up 8
bits for PtrAuth.
- Switch to vmapped shadow call stacks.
- Miscellaneous clean-ups.
