  BUG: spinlock recursion on CPU#0, ifconfig/2420
  lock: terminate_lock.2+0x0/0x1c, .magic: dead4ead, .owner: ifconfig/2420, .owner_cpu: 0

While creating the stack trace, the unwinder uses the stack pointer to guess
the previous frame to read the previous stack pointer from memory.  The crash
happens, because the unwinder tries to read from unaligned memory and as such
triggers the unalignment trap handler which then leads to the spinlock
recursion and finally to a deadlock.

Fix it by checking the alignment before accessing the memory.

Menglong Dong 35561bab76 arch: Add the macro COMPILE_OFFSETS to all the asm-offsets.c
The include/generated/asm-offsets.h is generated in Kbuild during
compiling from arch/SRCARCH/kernel/asm-offsets.c. When we want to
generate another similar offset header file, circular dependency can
happen.

For example, we want to generate a offset file include/generated/test.h,
which is included in include/sched/sched.h. If we generate asm-offsets.h
first, it will fail, as include/sched/sched.h is included in asm-offsets.c
and include/generated/test.h doesn't exist; If we generate test.h first,
it can't success neither, as include/generated/asm-offsets.h is included
by it.

In x86_64, the macro COMPILE_OFFSETS is used to avoid such circular
dependency. We can generate asm-offsets.h first, and if the
COMPILE_OFFSETS is defined, we don't include the "generated/test.h".

And we define the macro COMPILE_OFFSETS for all the asm-offsets.c for this
purpose.

Matthew Wilcox (Oracle) 53fbef56e0 mm: introduce memdesc_flags_t
Patch series "Add and use memdesc_flags_t".

At some point struct page will be separated from struct slab and struct
folio.  This is a step towards that by introducing a type for the 'flags'
word of all three structures.  This gives us a certain amount of type
safety by establishing that some of these unsigned longs are different
from other unsigned longs in that they contain things like node ID,
section number and zone number in the upper bits.  That lets us have
functions that can be easily called by anyone who has a slab, folio or
page (but not easily by anyone else) to get the node or zone.

There's going to be some unusual merge problems with this as some odd bits
of the kernel decide they want to print out the flags value or something
similar by writing page->flags and now they'll need to write page->flags.f
instead.  That's most of the churn here.  Maybe we should be removing
these things from the debug output?


This patch (of 11):

Wrap the unsigned long flags in a typedef.  In upcoming patches, this will
provide a strong hint that you can't just pass a random unsigned long to
functions which take this as an argument.

Simon Schuster bbc46b23af arch: copy_thread: pass clone_flags as u64
With the introduction of clone3 in commit 7f192e3cd3 ("fork: add
clone3") the effective bit width of clone_flags on all architectures was
increased from 32-bit to 64-bit, with a new type of u64 for the flags.
However, for most consumers of clone_flags the interface was not
changed from the previous type of unsigned long.

While this works fine as long as none of the new 64-bit flag bits
(CLONE_CLEAR_SIGHAND and CLONE_INTO_CGROUP) are evaluated, this is still
undesirable in terms of the principle of least surprise.

Thus, this commit fixes all relevant interfaces of the copy_thread
function that is called from copy_process to consistently pass
clone_flags as u64, so that no truncation to 32-bit integers occurs on
32-bit architectures.

Pull parisc updates from Helge Deller:

 - The parisc kernel wrongly allows reading from read-protected
   userspace memory without faulting, e.g. when userspace uses
   mprotect() to read-protect a memory area and then uses a pointer to
   this memory in a write(2, addr, 1) syscall.

   To fix this issue, Dave Anglin developed a set of patches which use
   the proberi assembler instruction to additionally check read access
   permissions at runtime.

 - Randy Dunlap contributed two patches to fix a minor typo and to
   explain why a 32-bit compiler is needed although a 64-bit kernel is
   built

John David Anglin f6334f4ae9 parisc: Revise gateway LWS calls to probe user read access
We use load and stbys,e instructions to trigger memory reference
interruptions without writing to memory. Because of the way read
access support is implemented, read access interruptions are only
triggered at privilege levels 2 and 3. The kernel and gateway
page execute at privilege level 0, so this code never triggers
a read access interruption. Thus, it is currently possible for
user code to execute a LWS compare and swap operation at an
address that is read protected at privilege level 3 (PRIV_USER).

Fix this by probing read access rights at privilege level 3 and
branching to lws_fault if access isn't allowed.

John David Anglin cb22f247f3 parisc: Update comments in make_insert_tlb
The following testcase exposed a problem with our read access checks
in get_user() and raw_copy_from_user():

#include <stdint.h>
#include <stddef.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <errno.h>
#include <sys/mman.h>
#include <sys/types.h>

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
  unsigned long page_size = sysconf(_SC_PAGESIZE);
  char *p = malloc(3 * page_size);
  char *p_aligned;

  /* initialize memory region. If not initialized, write syscall below will correctly return EFAULT. */
  if (1)
	memset(p, 'X', 3 * page_size);

  p_aligned = (char *) ((((uintptr_t) p) + (2*page_size - 1)) & ~(page_size - 1));
  /* Drop PROT_READ protection. Kernel and userspace should fault when accessing that memory region */
  mprotect(p_aligned, page_size, PROT_NONE);

  /* the following write() should return EFAULT, since PROT_READ was dropped by previous mprotect() */
  int ret = write(2, p_aligned, 1);
  if (!ret || errno != EFAULT)
	printf("\n FAILURE: write() did not returned expected EFAULT value\n");

  return 0;
}

Because of the way _PAGE_READ is handled, kernel code never generates
a read access fault when it access a page as the kernel privilege level
is always less than PL1 in the PTE.

This patch reworks the comments in the make_insert_tlb macro to try
to make this clearer.

Andrey Albershteyn be7efb2d20 fs: introduce file_getattr and file_setattr syscalls
Introduce file_getattr() and file_setattr() syscalls to manipulate inode
extended attributes. The syscalls takes pair of file descriptor and
pathname. Then it operates on inode opened accroding to openat()
semantics. The struct file_attr is passed to obtain/change extended
attributes.

This is an alternative to FS_IOC_FSSETXATTR ioctl with a difference
that file don't need to be open as we can reference it with a path
instead of fd. By having this we can manipulated inode extended
attributes not only on regular files but also on special ones. This
is not possible with FS_IOC_FSSETXATTR ioctl as with special files
we can not call ioctl() directly on the filesystem inode using fd.

This patch adds two new syscalls which allows userspace to get/set
extended inode attributes on special files by using parent directory
and a path - *at() like syscall.
