Pull x86 fixes from Thomas Gleixner: "A couple of x86 fixes which missed rc1 due to my stupidity: - Drop lazy TLB mode before switching to the temporary address space for text patching. text_poke() switches to the temporary mm which clears the lazy mode and restores the original mm afterwards. Due to clearing lazy mode this might restore a already dead mm if exit_mmap() runs in parallel on another CPU. - Document the x32 syscall design fail vs. syscall numbers 512-547 properly. - Fix the ORC unwinder to handle the inactive task frame correctly. This was unearthed due to the slightly different code generation of gcc-10. - Use an up to date screen_info for the boot params of kexec instead of the possibly stale and invalid version which happened to be valid when the kexec kernel was loaded" * tag 'x86-urgent-2020-10-27' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: x86/alternative: Don't call text_poke() in lazy TLB mode x86/syscalls: Document the fact that syscalls 512-547 are a legacy mistake x86/unwind/orc: Fix inactive tasks with stack pointer in %sp on GCC 10 compiled kernels hyperv_fb: Update screen_info after removing old framebuffer x86/kexec: Use up-to-dated screen_info copy to fill boot params

x86/alternative: Don't call text_poke() in lazy TLB mode

2020-10-22T10:37:23Z

When running in lazy TLB mode the currently active page tables might be the ones of a previous process, e.g. when running a kernel thread. This can be problematic in case kernel code is being modified via text_poke() in a kernel thread, and on another processor exit_mmap() is active for the process which was running on the first cpu before the kernel thread. As text_poke() is using a temporary address space and the former address space (obtained via cpu_tlbstate.loaded_mm) is restored afterwards, there is a race possible in case the cpu on which exit_mmap() is running wants to make sure there are no stale references to that address space on any cpu active (this e.g. is required when running as a Xen PV guest, where this problem has been observed and analyzed). In order to avoid that, drop off TLB lazy mode before switching to the temporary address space.

x86/alternatives: Acquire pte lock with interrupts enabled

2020-08-13T12:11:54Z

pte lock is never acquired in-IRQ context so it does not require interrupts to be disabled. The lock is a regular spinlock which cannot be acquired with interrupts disabled on RT. RT complains about pte_lock() in __text_poke() because it's invoked after disabling interrupts. __text_poke() has to disable interrupts as use_temporary_mm() expects interrupts to be off because it invokes switch_mm_irqs_off() and uses per-CPU (current active mm) data. Move the PTE lock handling outside the interrupt disabled region.

mm: remove unneeded includes of

2020-08-07T18:33:26Z

Patch series "mm: cleanup usage of " Most architectures have very similar versions of pXd_alloc_one() and pXd_free_one() for intermediate levels of page table. These patches add generic versions of these functions in and enable use of the generic functions where appropriate. In addition, functions declared and defined in headers are used mostly by core mm and early mm initialization in arch and there is no actual reason to have the included all over the place. The first patch in this series removes unneeded includes of In the end it didn't work out as neatly as I hoped and moving pXd_alloc_track() definitions to would require unnecessary changes to arches that have custom page table allocations, so I've decided to move lib/ioremap.c to mm/ and make pgalloc-track.h local to mm/. This patch (of 8): In most cases header is required only for allocations of page table memory. Most of the .c files that include that header do not use symbols declared in and do not require that header. As for the other header files that used to include , it is possible to move that include into the .c file that actually uses symbols from and drop the include from the header file. The process was somewhat automated using sed -i -E '/[<"]asm\/pgalloc\.h/d' \ $(grep -L -w -f /tmp/xx \ $(git grep -E -l '[<"]asm/pgalloc\.h')) where /tmp/xx contains all the symbols defined in arch/*/include/asm/pgalloc.h.
