metag: Memory handling
Meta has instructions for accessing:
- bytes - GETB (1 byte)
- words - GETW (2 bytes)
- doublewords - GETD (4 bytes)
- longwords - GETL (8 bytes)
All accesses must be aligned. Unaligned accesses can be detected and
made to fault on Meta2, however it isn't possible to fix up unaligned
writes so we don't bother fixing up reads either.
This patch adds metag memory handling code including:
- I/O memory (io.h, ioremap.c): Actually any virtual memory can be
accessed with these helpers. A part of the non-MMUable address space
is used for memory mapped I/O. The ioremap() function is implemented
one to one for non-MMUable addresses.
- User memory (uaccess.h, usercopy.c): User memory is directly
accessible from privileged code.
- Kernel memory (maccess.c): probe_kernel_write() needs to be
overwridden to use the I/O functions when doing a simple aligned
write to non-writecombined memory, otherwise the write may be split
by the generic version.
Note that due to the fact that a portion of the virtual address space is
non-MMUable, and therefore always maps directly to the physical address
space, metag specific I/O functions are made available (metag_in32,
metag_out32 etc). These cast the address argument to a pointer so that
they can be used with raw physical addresses. These accessors are only
to be used for accessing fixed core Meta architecture registers in the
non-MMU region, and not for any SoC/peripheral registers.

globally coherent (GCOn) if the cache partitions coincide.
- global (0x88000000-0xffff0000): coherent and traditionally global
between hardware threads. On Meta2, each hardware thread has it's own

- 0x80000000-0x87ffffff: contains low latency global core memories

However, the _allocation_ of that bitmap had never taken this alignment

x86/xen: don't assume %ds is usable in xen_iret for 32-bit PVOPS.
This fixes CVE-2013-0228 / XSA-42
Drew Jones while working on CVE-2013-0190 found that that unprivileged guest user
in 32bit PV guest can use to crash the > guest with the panic like this:
Petr says: "
I've analysed the bug and I think that xen_iret() cannot cope with
mangled DS, in this case zeroed out (null selector/descriptor) by either
xen_failsafe_callback() or RESTORE_REGS because the corresponding LDT
entry was invalidated by the reproducer. "
Jan took a look at the preliminary patch and came up a fix that solves
this problem:
"This code gets called after all registers other than those handled by
IRET got already restored, hence a null selector in %ds or a non-null
one that got loaded from a code or read-only data descriptor would
cause a kernel mode fault (with the potential of crashing the kernel
as a whole, if panic_on_oops is set)."
The way to fix this is to realize that the we can only relay on the
registers that IRET restores. The two that are guaranteed are the
%cs and %ss as they are always fixed GDT selectors. Also they are
inaccessible from user mode - so they cannot be altered. This is
the approach taken in this patch.
Another alternative option suggested by Jan would be to relay on
the subtle realization that using the %ebp or %esp relative references uses
the %ss segment. In which case we could switch from using %eax to %ebp and
would not need the %ss over-rides. That would also require one extra
instruction to compensate for the one place where the register is used
as scaled index. However Andrew pointed out that is too subtle and if
further work was to be done in this code-path it could escape folks attention
and lead to accidents.

In order to make this work for THP and non-THP builds, some header

Devices are added to pci_pme_list when drivers use pci_enable_wake()
or pci_wake_from_d3(), but they aren't removed from the list unless
the driver explicitly disables wakeup. Many drivers never disable
wakeup, so their devices remain on the list even after they are
removed, e.g., via hotplug. A subsequent PME poll will oops when
it tries to touch the device.
This patch disables PME# on a device before removing it, which removes
the device from pci_pme_list. This is safe even if the device never
had PME# enabled.
This oops can be triggered by unplugging a Thunderbolt ethernet adapter
on a Macbook Pro, as reported by Daniel below.

We walk through the bind address list and try to get the best source

'continue' path of the loop when an entry is invalid (!laddr->valid)

SCTP_ADDR_SRC).
Thus, still, invalid entries with SCTP_ADDR_SRC might not 'continue'
as well as valid entries with SCTP_ADDR_{NEW, SRC, DEL}, with a possible
false baddr and matchlen as a result, causing in worst case dst route
to be false or possibly NULL.
This test should actually be a '||' instead of '&&'. But lets fix it

Investigation determined that the bug triggered when reading
system RAM at the 4G mark. On this system, that was the first
address using 1G pages for the virt->phys direct mapping so the
PUD is pointing to a physical address, not a PMD page.
The problem is that the page table walker in kern_addr_valid() is
not checking pud_large() and treats the physical address as if
it was a PMD. If it happens to look like pmd_none then it'll
silently fail, probably returning zeros instead of real data. If
the data happens to look like a present PMD though, it will be
walked resulting in the oops above.
This patch adds the necessary pud_large() check.
Unfortunately the problem was not readily reproducible and now
they are running the backup program without accessing
/proc/kcore so the patch has not been validated but I think it
makes sense.

The designed workflow for the caches in kmemcg is: register it with
memcg_register_cache() if kmemcg is already available or later on when a

caches in the system. The caches created at boot time will be handled

registered later on by the former.
There is a bug, however, in memcg_register_cache: we correctly set up
the array size, but do not mark the cache as a root cache.
This means that allocations for any cache appearing late in the game
will see memcg->memcg_params->is_root_cache == false, and in particular,
