When using the new adr_l/ldr_l/str_l macros to refer to external symbols
from modules, the linker may emit place relative ELF relocations that
need to be fixed up by the module loader. So add support for these.

Patch series "mm: consolidate definitions of page table accessors", v2.
The low level page table accessors (pXY_index(), pXY_offset()) are
duplicated across all architectures and sometimes more than once. For
instance, we have 31 definition of pgd_offset() for 25 supported
architectures.
Most of these definitions are actually identical and typically it boils
down to, e.g.
static inline unsigned long pmd_index(unsigned long address)
{
return (address >> PMD_SHIFT) & (PTRS_PER_PMD - 1);
}
static inline pmd_t *pmd_offset(pud_t *pud, unsigned long address)
{
return (pmd_t *)pud_page_vaddr(*pud) + pmd_index(address);
}
These definitions can be shared among 90% of the arches provided
XYZ_SHIFT, PTRS_PER_XYZ and xyz_page_vaddr() are defined.
For architectures that really need a custom version there is always
possibility to override the generic version with the usual ifdefs magic.
These patches introduce include/linux/pgtable.h that replaces
include/asm-generic/pgtable.h and add the definitions of the page table
accessors to the new header.
This patch (of 12):
The linux/mm.h header includes <asm/pgtable.h> to allow inlining of the
functions involving page table manipulations, e.g. pte_alloc() and
pmd_alloc(). So, there is no point to explicitly include <asm/pgtable.h>
in the files that include <linux/mm.h>.
The include statements in such cases are remove with a simple loop:
for f in $(git grep -l "include <linux/mm.h>") ; do
sed -i -e '/include <asm\/pgtable.h>/ d' $f
done

Unwind information for init sections is placed in .ARM.exidx.init.text
and .ARM.extab.init.text. The module core doesn't know that these are
init sections so they are allocated along with the core sections, and if
the core and init sections get allocated in different memory regions
(which is possible with CONFIG_ARM_MODULE_PLTS=y) and they can't reach
each other, relocation fails:
final section addresses:
...
0x7f800000 .init.text
..
0xcbb54078 .ARM.exidx.init.text
..
section 16 reloc 0 sym '': relocation 42 out of range (0xcbb54078 ->
0x7f800000)
Fix this by informing the module core that these sections are init
sections, and by removing the init unwind tables before the module core
frees the init sections.

According to the spec 'ELF for the ARM Architecture' (IHI 0044E),
addends for R_ARM_PREL31 relocations are 31-bit signed quantities,
so we need to sign extend the value to 32 bits before it can be used
as an offset in the calculation of the relocated value.
We have not been bitten by this because these relocations are usually
emitted against the start of a section, which means the addends never
assume negative values in practice. But it is a bug nonetheless, so fix
it.

For an XIP build, _etext does not represent the end of the
binary image that needs to stay mapped into the MODULES_VADDR area.
Years ago, data came before text in the memory map. However,
now that the order is text/init/data, an XIP_KERNEL needs to map
up to the data location in order to keep from cutting off
parts of the kernel that are needed.
We only map up to the beginning of data because data has already been
copied, so there's no reason to keep it around anymore.
A new symbol is created to make it clear what it is we are referring
to.
This fixes the bug where you might lose the end of your kernel area
after page table setup is complete.

Loading modules far away from the kernel in memory is problematic
because the 'bl' instruction only has limited reach, and modules are not
built with PLTs. Instead of using the -mlong-calls option (which affects
all compiler emitted bl instructions, but not the ones in assembler),
this patch allocates some additional space at module load time, and
populates it with PLT like veneers when encountering relocations that
are out of range.
This should work with all relocations against symbols exported by the
kernel, including those resulting from GCC generated implicit function
calls for ftrace etc.
The module memory size increases by about 5% on average, regardless of
whether any PLT entries were actually needed. However, due to the page
based rounding that occurs when allocating module memory, the average
memory footprint increase is negligible.

For instrumenting global variables KASan will shadow memory backing memory
for modules. So on module loading we will need to allocate memory for
shadow and map it at address in shadow that corresponds to the address
allocated in module_alloc().
__vmalloc_node_range() could be used for this purpose, except it puts a
guard hole after allocated area. Guard hole in shadow memory should be a
problem because at some future point we might need to have a shadow memory
at address occupied by guard hole. So we could fail to allocate shadow
for module_alloc().
Now we have VM_NO_GUARD flag disabling guard page, so we need to pass into
__vmalloc_node_range(). Add new parameter 'vm_flags' to
__vmalloc_node_range() function.

Kernel module build with GCOV profiling fails to load with the
following error:
$ insmod test_module.ko
test_module: unknown relocation: 38
insmod: can't insert 'test_module.ko': invalid module format
This happens because constructor pointers in the .init_array section
have not supported R_ARM_TARGET1 relocation type.
Documentation (ELF for the ARM Architecture) says:
"The relocation must be processed either in the same way as R_ARM_REL32 or
as R_ARM_ABS32: a virtual platform must specify which method is used."
Since kernel expects to see absolute addresses in .init_array R_ARM_TARGET1
relocation type should be treated the same way as R_ARM_ABS32.

3. support for LPAE systems with all system memory above 4GB
4. Perf updates from Will Deacon
5. Additional prefetching and other performance improvements from Will.
6. Neon-optimised AES implementation fro Ard.
7. A number of smaller fixes scattered around the place.
There is a rather horrid merge conflict in tools/perf - I was never
notified of the conflict because it originally occurred between Will's
tree and other stuff. Consequently I have a resolution which Will
forwarded me, which I'll forward on immediately after sending this
mail.
The other notable thing is I'm expecting some build breakage in the
crypto stuff on ARM only with Ard's AES patches. These were merged
into a stable git branch which others had already pulled, so there's
little I can do about this. The problem is caused because these
patches have a dependency on some code in the crypto git tree - I
tried requesting a branch I can pull to resolve these, and all I got
each time from the crypto people was "we'll revert our patches then"
which would only make things worse since I still don't have the
dependent patches. I've no idea what's going on there or how to
resolve that, and since I can't split these patches from the rest of
this pull request, I'm rather stuck with pushing this as-is or
reverting Ard's patches.
Since it should "come out in the wash" I've left them in - the only
build problems they seem to cause at the moment are with randconfigs,
and since it's a new feature anyway. However, if by -rc1 the
dependencies aren't in, I think it'd be best to revert Ard's patches"
I resolved the perf conflict roughly as per the patch sent by Russell,

The "Thumb bit" of a symbol is only really meaningful for function
symbols (STT_FUNC).
However, sometimes a branch is relocated against a non-function
symbol; for example, PC-relative branches to anonymous assembler
local symbols are typically fixed up against the start-of-section
symbol, which is not a function symbol. Some inline assembler
generates references of this type, such as fixup code generated by
macros in <asm/uaccess.h>.
The existing relocation code for R_ARM_THM_CALL/R_ARM_THM_JUMP24
interprets this case as an error, because the target symbol appears
to be an ARM symbol; but this is really not the case, since the
target symbol is just a base in these cases. The addend defines
the precise offset to the target location, but since the addend is
encoded in a non-interworking Thumb branch instruction, there is no
explicit Thumb bit in the addend. Because these instructions never
interwork, the implied Thumb bit in the addend is 1, and the
destination is Thumb by definition.
This patch removes the extraneous Thumb bit check for non-function
symbols, enabling modules containing the affected relocation types
to be loaded. No modification to the actual relocation code is
required, since this code does not take bit[0] of the
location->destination offset into account in any case.
Function symbols are always checked for interworking conflicts, as
before.

This idea came from Nicolas, Eric Miao produced an initial version,
which was then rewritten into this.
Patch the physical to virtual translations at runtime. As we modify
the code, this makes it incompatible with XIP kernels, but allows us
to achieve this with minimal loss of performance.
As many translations are of the form:
physical = virtual + (PHYS_OFFSET - PAGE_OFFSET)
virtual = physical - (PHYS_OFFSET - PAGE_OFFSET)
we generate an 'add' instruction for __virt_to_phys(), and a 'sub'
instruction for __phys_to_virt(). We calculate at run time (PHYS_OFFSET
- PAGE_OFFSET) by comparing the address prior to MMU initialization with
where it should be once the MMU has been initialized, and place this
constant into the above add/sub instructions.
Once we have (PHYS_OFFSET - PAGE_OFFSET), we can calculate the real
PHYS_OFFSET as PAGE_OFFSET is a build-time constant, and save this for
the C-mode PHYS_OFFSET variable definition to use.
At present, we are unable to support Realview with Sparsemem enabled
as this uses a complex mapping function, and MSM as this requires a
constant which will not fit in our math instruction.
Add a module version magic string for this feature to prevent
incompatible modules being loaded.

Four architectures (arm, mips, sparc, x86) use __vmalloc_area() for
module_init(). Much of the code is duplicated and can be generalized in a

__vmalloc_node() now calls into __vmalloc_node_range() with a range of
[VMALLOC_START, VMALLOC_END) for functionally equivalent behavior.
Each architecture may then use __vmalloc_node_range() directly to remove
the duplication of code.

implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.
http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
The script does the followings.
* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
doesn't seem to be any matching order.
* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
file.
The conversion was done in the following steps.
1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
files.
2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
inclusions to around 150 files.
3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
necessary.
6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
* x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
* powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
* sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
* ia64 SMP allmodconfig
* s390 SMP allmodconfig
* alpha SMP allmodconfig
* um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

Modules compiled to Thumb-2 have two additional relocations needing to
be resolved at load time, R_ARM_THM_CALL and R_ARM_THM_JUMP24, for BL
and B.W instructions. The maximum Thumb-2 addressing range is +/-2^24
(+/-16MB) therefore the MODULES_VADDR macro in asm/memory.h is set to
(MODULES_END - 8MB) for the Thumb-2 compiled kernel.

From: Bruce Ashfield <[email protected]>
To fully support the armv7-a instruction set/optimizations, support
for the R_ARM_MOVW_ABS_NC and R_ARM_MOVT_ABS relocation types is
required.
The MOVW and MOVT are both load-immediate instructions, MOVW loads 16
bits into the bottom half of a register, and MOVT loads 16 bits into the
top half of a register.
The relocation information for these instructions has a full 32 bit
value, plus an addend which is stored in the 16 immediate bits in the
instruction itself. The immediate bits in the instruction are not
contiguous (the register # splits it into a 4 bit and 12 bit value),
so the addend has to be extracted accordingly and added to the value.
The value is then split and put into the instruction; a MOVW uses the
bottom 16 bits of the value, and a MOVT uses the top 16 bits.

It would seem when building kernel modules with modern binutils
(required by modern GCC) for ARM v4T targets (specifically observed
with the Samsung 24xx SoC which is an 920T) R_ARM_V4BX relocations
are emitted for function epilogues.
This manifests at module load time with an "unknown relocation: 40"
error message.
The following patch adds the R_ARM_V4BX relocation to the ARM kernel
module loader. The relocation operation is taken from that within the
binutils bfd library.

Update to use the asm/sections.h header rather than declaring these
symbols ourselves. Change __data_start to _data to conform with the
naming found within asm/sections.h.

As of 73bdf0a60e607f4b8ecc5aec597105976565a84f, the kernel needs
to know where modules are located in the virtual address space.
On ARM, we located this region between MODULE_START and MODULE_END.
Unfortunately, everyone else calls it MODULES_VADDR and MODULES_END.
Update ARM to use the same naming, so is_vmalloc_or_module_addr()
can work properly. Also update the comment on mm/vmalloc.c to
reflect that ARM also places modules in a separate region from the
vmalloc space.

Add support for detecting non-executable stack binaries, and adjust
permissions to prevent execution from data and stack areas. Also,
ensure that READ_IMPLIES_EXEC is enabled for older CPUs where that
is true, and for any executable-stack binary.

On 32-bit architectures PAGE_ALIGN() truncates 64-bit values to the 32-bit
boundary. For example:
u64 val = PAGE_ALIGN(size);
always returns a value < 4GB even if size is greater than 4GB.
The problem resides in PAGE_MASK definition (from include/asm-x86/page.h for
example):
#define PAGE_SHIFT 12
#define PAGE_SIZE (_AC(1,UL) << PAGE_SHIFT)
#define PAGE_MASK (~(PAGE_SIZE-1))
...
#define PAGE_ALIGN(addr) (((addr)+PAGE_SIZE-1)&PAGE_MASK)
The "~" is performed on a 32-bit value, so everything in "and" with
PAGE_MASK greater than 4GB will be truncated to the 32-bit boundary.
Using the ALIGN() macro seems to be the right way, because it uses
typeof(addr) for the mask.
Also move the PAGE_ALIGN() definitions out of include/asm-*/page.h in
include/linux/mm.h.
