Some glibc versions intentionally create lots of alignment faults in
their gconv code, which if not fixed up, results in segfaults during
boot. This can prevent systems booting properly.
There is no clear hard-configurable default for this; the desired
default depends on the nature of the userspace which is going to be
booted.
So, provide a way for the alignment fault handler to be configured via
the kernel command line.

The current ASID allocation algorithm doesn't ensure the notification
of the other CPUs when the ASID rolls over. This may lead to two
processes using the same ASID (but different generation) or multiple
threads of the same process using different ASIDs.
This patch adds the broadcasting of the ASID rollover event to the
other CPUs. To avoid a race on multiple CPUs modifying "cpu_last_asid"
during the handling of the broadcast, the ASID numbering now starts at
"smp_processor_id() + 1". At rollover, the cpu_last_asid will be set
to NR_CPUS.

ARMv6 and ARMv7 CPUs can perform speculative prefetching, which makes
DMA cache coherency handling slightly more interesting. Rather than
being able to rely upon the CPU not accessing the DMA buffer until DMA
has completed, we now must expect that the cache could be loaded with
possibly stale data from the DMA buffer.
Where DMA involves data being transferred to the device, we clean the
cache before handing it over for DMA, otherwise we invalidate the buffer
to get rid of potential writebacks. On DMA Completion, if data was
transferred from the device, we invalidate the buffer to get rid of
any stale speculative prefetches.

Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
update_mmu_cache() is called with a page table already mapped. We
call make_coherent(), which then calls adjust_pte() which wants to

the slot its trying to use is already taken.
Since do_adjust_pte() modifies the page tables, we are also missing
any form of locking, so we're risking corrupting the page tables.
Fix this by using pte_offset_map_nested(), and taking the pte page
table lock around do_adjust_pte().

There's no point having the hardware support background operations
if we issue a cache operation, and then wait for it to complete
before calculating the address of the next operation. We gain no
advantage in the cache controller stalling the bus until completion.
What we should be doing is using the 'wait' time productively by
calculating the address of the next operation, and only then waiting
for the previous operation to complete. This means that cache
operations can occur in parallel with the CPU calculating the next
address.

Dirk Behme reported instability on ARM11 SMP (VIPT non-aliasing cache)
caused by the dynamic linker changing protection on text pages to write
GOT entries. The problem is due to an interaction between the write
faulting code providing new anonymous pages which are incoherent with
the I-cache due to write buffering, and the I-cache not having been
invalidated.
a4db94d plugs the hole with the data cache coherency. This patch
provides the other half of the fix by flushing the I-cache in
flush_cache_range() for VM_EXEC VMAs (which is what we have when the
region is being made executable again.) This ensures that the I-cache
will be up to date with the newly COW'd pages.
Note: if users are writing instructions, then they still need to use
the ARM sys_cacheflush API to ensure that the caches are correctly
synchronized.
Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
flush_cache_mm() is called in two cases:
1. when a process exits, just before the page tables are torn down.
We can allow the stale lines to evict themselves over time without
causing any harm.
2. when a process forks, and we've allocated a new ASID.
The instruction cache issues are dealt with as pages are brought
into the new process address space. Flushing the I-cache here is
therefore unnecessary.
However, we must keep the VIPT aliasing D-cache flush to ensure that
any dirty cache lines are not written back after the pages have been
reallocated for some other use - which would result in corruption.

On ARM, update_mmu_cache() does dcache flush for a page only if
it has a kernel mapping (page_mapping(page) != NULL). The correct
behavior would be to force the flush based on dcache_dirty bit only.
One of the cases where present logic would be a problem is when
a RAM based block device[1] is used as a swap disk. In this case,
we would have in-memory data corruption as shown in steps below:
do_swap_page()
{
- Allocate a new page (if not already in swap cache)
- Issue read from swap disk
- Block driver issues flush_dcache_page()
- flush_dcache_page() simply sets PG_dcache_dirty bit and does not
actually issue a flush since this page has no user space mapping yet.
- Now, if swap disk is almost full, this newly read page is removed
from swap cache and corrsponding swap slot is freed.
- Map this page anonymously in user space.
- update_mmu_cache()
- Since this page does not have kernel mapping (its not in page/swap
cache and is mapped anonymously), it does not issue dcache flush
even if dcache_dirty bit is set by flush_dcache_page() above.
<user now gets stale data since dcache was never flushed>
}
Same problem exists on mips too.

According to the following in arch/arm/mm/fault.c page faults from
kernel mode are invalid if mmap_sem is already held and there is
no exception handler defined for the faulting instruction:
/*
* As per x86, we may deadlock here. However, since the kernel only
* validly references user space from well defined areas of the code,
* we can bug out early if this is from code which shouldn't.
*/
if (!down_read_trylock(&mm->mmap_sem)) {
if (!user_mode(regs) && !search_exception_tables(regs->ARM_pc))
goto no_context;
Since mmap_sem can be held at arbitrary times by another thread this
also means that any page faults from kernel mode are invalid if no
exception handler is defined for them, regardless whether mmap_sem is
held at the time of fault.
To easier detect code that can trigger the above error, add a check
also for the case where mmap_sem is acquired. As this has an overhead
make it a VM debug check.

Resolve this by flushing the user mapping before copying the page
on processors with a writeback VIVT cache.
Note: this does have a performance impact, and so needs further
consideration before being merged - can we optimize out some of
the cache flushes if, eg, we know that the page isn't yet mapped?

Our copy_user_highpage() implementations may require cache maintainence.
Ensure that implementations have all necessary details to perform this
maintainence.

Currently, on ARMv6 and ARMv7, if an application tries to execute
code (or garbage) on non-executable page it hangs. It caused by
incorrect prefetch abort handling. Now every prefetch abort
processes as a translation fault.
To fix this we have to analyze instruction fault status register
to figure out reason why we've got the abort and process it
accordingly.
To make IFSR different from DFSR we set bit 31 which is reserved in
both IFSR and DFSR.
This patch also tries to protect from future hangs on unexpected
exceptions. An application will be killed if unexpected exception
type was received.

Instruction fault status register, IFSR, was introduced on ARMv6 to
provide status information about the last insturction fault. It
needed for proper prefetch abort handling.
Now we have three prefetch abort model:
* legacy - for CPUs before ARMv6. They doesn't provide neither
IFSR nor IFAR. We simulate IFSR with section translation fault
status for them to generalize code;
* ARMv6 - provides IFSR, but not IFAR;
* ARMv7 - provides both IFSR and IFAR.

Commit 1522ac3ec9
("Fix virtual to physical translation macro corner cases")
breaks the end of memory check in valid_phys_addr_range().
The modified expression results in the apparent /dev/mem size
being 2 bytes smaller than what it actually is.
This patch reworks the expression to correctly check the address,
while maintaining use of a valid address to __pa().

We suffer an unfortunate combination of "features" which makes highmem
support on platforms without hardware TLB maintainence broadcast difficult:
- we need kmap_high_get() support for DMA cache coherence
- this requires kmap_high() to take a spinlock with IRQs disabled
- kmap_high() occasionally calls flush_all_zero_pkmaps() to clear
out old mappings
- flush_all_zero_pkmaps() calls flush_tlb_kernel_range(), which
on s/w IPI'd systems eventually calls smp_call_function_many()
- smp_call_function_many() must not be called with IRQs disabled:
