Originally, I was convinced that we needed to use tmpalias flushes
everwhere, for both user and kernel flushes. However, when I modified
flush_kernel_dcache_page_addr, to use a tmpalias flush, my c8000
would crash quite early when booting.
The PDC returns alias values of 0 for the icache and dcache. This
indicates that either the alias boundary is greater than 16MB or
equivalent aliasing doesn't work. I modified the tmpalias code to
make it easy to try alternate boundaries. I tried boundaries up to
128MB but still kernel tmpalias flushes didn't work on c8000.
This led me to conclude that tmpalias flushes don't work on PA8800
and PA8900 machines, and that we needed to flush directly using the
virtual address of user and kernel pages. This is likely the major
cause of instability on the c8000 and rp34xx machines.
Flushing user pages requires doing a temporary context switch as we
have to flush pages that don't belong to the current context. Further,
we have to deal with pages that aren't present. If a page isn't
present, the flush instructions fault on every line.
Other code has been rearranged and simplified based on testing. For
example, I introduced a flush_cache_dup_mm routine. flush_cache_mm
and flush_cache_dup_mm differ in that flush_cache_mm calls
purge_cache_pages and flush_cache_dup_mm calls flush_cache_pages.
In some implementations, pdc is more efficient than fdc. Based on
my testing, I don't believe there's any performance benefit on the
c8000.

Change the "BUG" to "WARNING" and disable the message because it triggers
occasionally in spite of the check in flush_cache_page_if_present.
The pte value extracted for the "from" page in copy_user_highpage is racy and
occasionally the pte is cleared before the flush is complete. I assume that
the page is simultaneously flushed by flush_cache_mm before the pte is cleared
as nullifying the fdc doesn't seem to cause problems.
I investigated various locking scenarios but I wasn't able to find a way to
sequence the flushes. This code is called for every COW break and locks impact
performance.
This patch is related to the bigger cache flush patch because we need the pte
on PA8800/PA8900 to flush using the vma context.
I have also seen this from copy_to_user_page and copy_from_user_page.
The messages appear infrequently when enabled.

The inventory knows which CPUs are in the system, so this bitmask should
be in cpu_possible_mask instead of the bitmask based on CONFIG_NR_CPUS.
Reset the cpu_possible_mask before scanning the system for CPUs, and
mark each existing CPU as possible during initialization of that CPU.

This change fixes the following:
1) The flags variable is not initialized. Always use raw_spin_lock_irqsave
and raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore to serialize patching.
2) flush_kernel_vmap_range is primarily intended for DMA flushes. Since
__patch_text_multiple is often called with interrupts disabled, it is
better to directly call flush_kernel_dcache_range_asm and
flush_kernel_icache_range_asm. This avoids an extra call.
3) The final call to flush_icache_range is unnecessary.

MADV_DONTNEED historically rejects mlocked ranges, but with MLOCK_ONFAULT
and MCL_ONFAULT allowing to mlock without populating, there are valid use
cases for depopulating locked ranges as well.
Users mlock memory to protect secrets. There are allocators for secure
buffers that want in-use memory generally mlocked, but cleared and
invalidated memory to give up the physical pages. This could be done with
explicit munlock -> mlock calls on free -> alloc of course, but that adds
two unnecessary syscalls, heavy mmap_sem write locks, vma splits and
re-merges - only to get rid of the backing pages.
Users also mlockall(MCL_ONFAULT) to suppress sustained paging, but are
okay with on-demand initial population. It seems valid to selectively
free some memory during the lifetime of such a process, without having to
mess with its overall policy.
Why add a separate flag? Isn't this a pretty niche usecase?
- MADV_DONTNEED has been bailing on locked vmas forever. It's at least
conceivable that someone, somewhere is relying on mlock to protect
data from perhaps broader invalidation calls. Changing this behavior
now could lead to quiet data corruption.
- It also clarifies expectations around MADV_FREE and maybe
MADV_REMOVE. It avoids the situation where one quietly behaves
different than the others. MADV_FREE_LOCKED can be added later.
- The combination of mlock() and madvise() in the first place is
probably niche. But where it happens, I'd say that dropping pages
from a locked region once they don't contain secrets or won't page
anymore is much saner than relying on mlock to protect memory from
speculative or errant invalidation calls. It's just that we can't
change the default behavior because of the two previous points.
Given that, an explicit new flag seems to make the most sense.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-next
Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski:
"The sprinkling of SPI drivers is because we added a new one and Mark
sent us a SPI driver interface conversion pull request.
Core
----
- Introduce XDP multi-buffer support, allowing the use of XDP with
jumbo frame MTUs and combination with Rx coalescing offloads (LRO).
- Speed up netns dismantling (5x) and lower the memory cost a little.
Remove unnecessary per-netns sockets. Scope some lists to a netns.
Cut down RCU syncing. Use batch methods. Allow netdev registration
to complete out of order.
- Support distinguishing timestamp types (ingress vs egress) and
maintaining them across packet scrubbing points (e.g. redirect).
- Continue the work of annotating packet drop reasons throughout the
stack.
- Switch netdev error counters from an atomic to dynamically
allocated per-CPU counters.
- Rework a few preempt_disable(), local_irq_save() and busy waiting
sections problematic on PREEMPT_RT.
- Extend the ref_tracker to allow catching use-after-free bugs.
BPF
---
- Introduce "packing allocator" for BPF JIT images. JITed code is
marked read only, and used to be allocated at page granularity.
Custom allocator allows for more efficient memory use, lower iTLB
pressure and prevents identity mapping huge pages from getting
split.
- Make use of BTF type annotations (e.g. __user, __percpu) to enforce
the correct probe read access method, add appropriate helpers.
- Convert the BPF preload to use light skeleton and drop the
user-mode-driver dependency.
- Allow XDP BPF_PROG_RUN test infra to send real packets, enabling
its use as a packet generator.
- Allow local storage memory to be allocated with GFP_KERNEL if
called from a hook allowed to sleep.
- Introduce fprobe (multi kprobe) to speed up mass attachment (arch
bits to come later).
- Add unstable conntrack lookup helpers for BPF by using the BPF
kfunc infra.
- Allow cgroup BPF progs to return custom errors to user space.
- Add support for AF_UNIX iterator batching.
- Allow iterator programs to use sleepable helpers.
- Support JIT of add, and, or, xor and xchg atomic ops on arm64.
- Add BTFGen support to bpftool which allows to use CO-RE in kernels
without BTF info.
- Large number of libbpf API improvements, cleanups and deprecations.
Protocols
---------
- Micro-optimize UDPv6 Tx, gaining up to 5% in test on dummy netdev.
- Adjust TSO packet sizes based on min_rtt, allowing very low latency
links (data centers) to always send full-sized TSO super-frames.
- Make IPv6 flow label changes (AKA hash rethink) more configurable,
via sysctl and setsockopt. Distinguish between server and client
behavior.
- VxLAN support to "collect metadata" devices to terminate only
configured VNIs. This is similar to VLAN filtering in the bridge.
- Support inserting IPv6 IOAM information to a fraction of frames.
- Add protocol attribute to IP addresses to allow identifying where
given address comes from (kernel-generated, DHCP etc.)
- Support setting socket and IPv6 options via cmsg on ping6 sockets.
- Reject mis-use of ECN bits in IP headers as part of DSCP/TOS.
Define dscp_t and stop taking ECN bits into account in fib-rules.
- Add support for locked bridge ports (for 802.1X).
- tun: support NAPI for packets received from batched XDP buffs,
doubling the performance in some scenarios.
- IPv6 extension header handling in Open vSwitch.
- Support IPv6 control message load balancing in bonding, prevent
neighbor solicitation and advertisement from using the wrong port.
Support NS/NA monitor selection similar to existing ARP monitor.
- SMC
- improve performance with TCP_CORK and sendfile()
- support auto-corking
- support TCP_NODELAY
- MCTP (Management Component Transport Protocol)
- add user space tag control interface
- I2C binding driver (as specified by DMTF DSP0237)
- Multi-BSSID beacon handling in AP mode for WiFi.
- Bluetooth:
- handle MSFT Monitor Device Event
- add MGMT Adv Monitor Device Found/Lost events
- Multi-Path TCP:
- add support for the SO_SNDTIMEO socket option
- lots of selftest cleanups and improvements
- Increase the max PDU size in CAN ISOTP to 64 kB.
Driver API
----------
- Add HW counters for SW netdevs, a mechanism for devices which
offload packet forwarding to report packet statistics back to
software interfaces such as tunnels.
- Select the default NIC queue count as a fraction of number of
physical CPU cores, instead of hard-coding to 8.
- Expose devlink instance locks to drivers. Allow device layer of
drivers to use that lock directly instead of creating their own
which always runs into ordering issues in devlink callbacks.
- Add header/data split indication to guide user space enabling of
TCP zero-copy Rx.
- Allow configuring completion queue event size.
- Refactor page_pool to enable fragmenting after allocation.
- Add allocation and page reuse statistics to page_pool.
- Improve Multiple Spanning Trees support in the bridge to allow
reuse of topologies across VLANs, saving HW resources in switches.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arnd/asm-generic
Pull asm-generic updates from Arnd Bergmann:
"There are three sets of updates for 5.18 in the asm-generic tree:
- The set_fs()/get_fs() infrastructure gets removed for good.
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.
- A series from Masahiro Yamada cleans up some of the uapi header
files to pass the compile-time checks"

We need to use this function in common code, so define it for
architectures and/or configrations that miss it. The result of
pmd_pfn() will only be used if TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE is enabled,
but a function or macro called pmd_pfn() must be defined, even
on machines with two level page tables.

Cache move-in for virtual accesses is controlled by the TLB. Thus,
we must generally purge TLB entries before flushing. The flush routines
must use TLB entries that inhibit cache move-in.
V2: Load physical address prior to flushing TLB. In flush_cache_page,
flush TLB when flushing and purging.
V3: Don't flush when start equals end.

This patch changes the kprobe and kretprobe feature to use another
break instruction instead of relying on the hardware single-step
feature.
That way those kprobes now work in qemu as well, because in qemu we

At least the qemu virtual machine does not provide D- and I-caches,
so skip triggering SMP irqs to flush caches on such machines.
Further optimize the caching code by using static branches and making
some functions static.

In testing the "Fix non-access data TLB cache flush faults" change,
I noticed a significant improvement in glibc build and check times.
This led me to investigate the parisc_cache_flush_threshold setting.
It determines when we switch from line flushing to whole cache flushing.
It turned out that the parisc_cache_flush_threshold setting on
mako and mako2 machines (PA8800 and PA8900 processors) was way too
small. Adjusting this setting provided almost a factor two improvement
in the glibc build and check time.
