CONFIG_DMA_MAYBE_COHERENT already selects CONFIG_DMA_NONCOHERENT, so we
can remove the extra conditions.

<title>mm: fix races between swapoff and flush dcache</title>

<id>urn:sha1:cb9f753a3731f7fe16447bea45cb6f8e8bb432fb</id>
<content type='text'>
Thanks to commit 4b3ef9daa4fc ("mm/swap: split swap cache into 64MB
trunks"), after swapoff the address_space associated with the swap
device will be freed.  So page_mapping() users which may touch the
address_space need some kind of mechanism to prevent the address_space
from being freed during accessing.

The dcache flushing functions (flush_dcache_page(), etc) in architecture
specific code may access the address_space of swap device for anonymous
pages in swap cache via page_mapping() function.  But in some cases
there are no mechanisms to prevent the swap device from being swapoff,
for example,

  CPU1					CPU2
  __get_user_pages()			swapoff()
    flush_dcache_page()
      mapping = page_mapping()
        ...				  exit_swap_address_space()
        ...				    kvfree(spaces)
        mapping_mapped(mapping)

The address space may be accessed after being freed.

But from cachetlb.txt and Russell King, flush_dcache_page() only care
about file cache pages, for anonymous pages, flush_anon_page() should be
used.  The implementation of flush_dcache_page() in all architectures
follows this too.  They will check whether page_mapping() is NULL and
whether mapping_mapped() is true to determine whether to flush the
dcache immediately.  And they will use interval tree (mapping-&gt;i_mmap)
to find all user space mappings.  While mapping_mapped() and
mapping-&gt;i_mmap isn't used by anonymous pages in swap cache at all.

So, to fix the race between swapoff and flush dcache, __page_mapping()
is add to return the address_space for file cache pages and NULL
otherwise.  All page_mapping() invoking in flush dcache functions are
replaced with page_mapping_file().

<content type='text'>
arch/mips/mm/cache.c provides our implementation of the cpu_cache_init()
function, but doesn't include the asm/setup.h header which declares it.
This leads to a warning from sparse:

  arch/mips/mm/cache.c:274:6: warning: symbol 'cpu_cache_init' was not
    declared. Should it be static?

Fix this by including asm/setup.h to get the declaration of
cpu_cache_init().

Cache management is implemented separately for Cavium Octeon CPUs, so
r4k_blast_[id]cache aren't available. Instead for Octeon perform a local
icache flush using local_flush_icache_range(), and for other platforms
which don't use c-r4k.c use __flush_cache_all() / flush_icache_all().

<title>MIPS: mm: Audit and remove any unnecessary uses of module.h</title>

Historically a lot of these existed because we did not have
a distinction between what was modular code and what was providing
support to modules via EXPORT_SYMBOL and friends.  That changed
when we forked out support for the latter into the export.h file.

This means we should be able to reduce the usage of module.h
in code that is obj-y Makefile or bool Kconfig.  The advantage
in doing so is that module.h itself sources about 15 other headers;
adding significantly to what we feed cpp, and it can obscure what
headers we are effectively using.

Since module.h was the source for init.h (for __init) and for
export.h (for EXPORT_SYMBOL) we consider each obj-y/bool instance
for the presence of either and replace as needed.

<title>MIPS: cacheflush: Use __flush_icache_user_range()</title>

The cacheflush(2) system call uses flush_icache_range() to flush a range
of usermode addresses from the icache, so change it to utilise the new
__flush_icache_user_range() API to allow the more generic
flush_icache_range() to be changed to work on kernel addresses only.

<content type='text'>
flush_icache_range() is used for both user addresses (i.e.
cacheflush(2)), and kernel addresses (as the API documentation
describes).

This isn't really suitable however for Enhanced Virtual Addressing (EVA)
where cache operations on usermode addresses must use a different
instruction, and the protected cache ops assume user addresses, making
flush_icache_range() ineffective on kernel addresses.

Split out a new __flush_icache_user_range() and
__local_flush_icache_user_range() for users which actually want to flush
usermode addresses (note that flush_icache_user_range() already exists
on various architectures but with different arguments).

The implementation of flush_icache_range() will be changed in an
upcoming commit to use unprotected normal cache ops so as to always work
on the kernel mode address space.

<title>MIPS: Sync icache &amp; dcache in set_pte_at</title>

<id>urn:sha1:37d22a0d798b5c938b277d32cfd86dc231381342</id>
<content type='text'>
It's possible for pages to become visible prior to update_mmu_cache
running if a thread within the same address space preempts the current
thread or runs simultaneously on another CPU. That is, the following
scenario is possible:

    CPU0                            CPU1

    write to page
    flush_dcache_page
    flush_icache_page
    set_pte_at
                                    map page
    update_mmu_cache

If CPU1 maps the page in between CPU0's set_pte_at, which marks it valid
&amp; visible, and update_mmu_cache where the dcache flush occurs then CPU1s
icache will fill from stale data (unless it fills from the dcache, in
which case all is good, but most MIPS CPUs don't have this property).
Commit 4d46a67a3eb8 ("MIPS: Fix race condition in lazy cache flushing.")
attempted to fix that by performing the dcache flush in
flush_icache_page such that it occurs before the set_pte_at call makes
the page visible. However it has the problem that not all code that
writes to pages exposed to userland call flush_icache_page. There are
many callers of set_pte_at under mm/ and only 2 of them do call
flush_icache_page. Thus the race window between a page becoming visible
&amp; being coherent between the icache &amp; dcache remains open in some cases.

To illustrate some of the cases, a WARN was added to __update_cache with
this patch applied that triggered in cases where a page about to be
flushed from the dcache was not the last page provided to
flush_icache_page. That is, backtraces were obtained for cases in which
the race window is left open without this patch. The 2 standout examples
follow.

When forking a process:

[   15.271842] [&lt;80417630&gt;] __update_cache+0xcc/0x188
[   15.277274] [&lt;80530394&gt;] copy_page_range+0x56c/0x6ac
[   15.282861] [&lt;8042936c&gt;] copy_process.part.54+0xd40/0x17ac
[   15.289028] [&lt;80429f80&gt;] do_fork+0xe4/0x420
[   15.293747] [&lt;80413808&gt;] handle_sys+0x128/0x14c

When exec'ing an ELF binary:

[   14.445964] [&lt;80417630&gt;] __update_cache+0xcc/0x188
[   14.451369] [&lt;80538d88&gt;] move_page_tables+0x414/0x498
[   14.457075] [&lt;8055d848&gt;] setup_arg_pages+0x220/0x318
[   14.462685] [&lt;805b0f38&gt;] load_elf_binary+0x530/0x12a0
[   14.468374] [&lt;8055ec3c&gt;] search_binary_handler+0xbc/0x214
[   14.474444] [&lt;8055f6c0&gt;] do_execveat_common+0x43c/0x67c
[   14.480324] [&lt;8055f938&gt;] do_execve+0x38/0x44
[   14.485137] [&lt;80413808&gt;] handle_sys+0x128/0x14c

These code paths write into a page, call flush_dcache_page then call
set_pte_at without flush_icache_page inbetween. The end result is that
the icache can become corrupted &amp; userland processes may execute
unexpected or invalid code, typically resulting in a reserved
instruction exception, a trap or a segfault.

Fix this race condition fully by performing any cache maintenance
required to keep the icache &amp; dcache in sync in set_pte_at, before the
page is made valid. This has the added bonus of ensuring the cache
maintenance always happens in one location, rather than being duplicated
in flush_icache_page &amp; update_mmu_cache. It also matches the way other
architectures solve the same problem (see arm, ia64 &amp; powerpc).

The following patch will expose __update_cache to highmem pages. Handle
them by mapping them in for the duration of the cache maintenance, just
like in __flush_dcache_page. The code for that isn't shared because we
need the page address in __update_cache so sharing became messy. Given
that the entirity is an extra 5 lines, just duplicate it.
