commit 1be7107fbe18eed3e319a6c3e83c78254b693acb upstream.

Stack guard page is a useful feature to reduce a risk of stack smashing
into a different mapping. We have been using a single page gap which
is sufficient to prevent having stack adjacent to a different mapping.
But this seems to be insufficient in the light of the stack usage in
userspace. E.g. glibc uses as large as 64kB alloca() in many commonly
used functions. Others use constructs liks gid_t buffer[NGROUPS_MAX]
which is 256kB or stack strings with MAX_ARG_STRLEN.

This will become especially dangerous for suid binaries and the default
no limit for the stack size limit because those applications can be
tricked to consume a large portion of the stack and a single glibc call
could jump over the guard page. These attacks are not theoretical,
unfortunatelly.

Make those attacks less probable by increasing the stack guard gap
to 1MB (on systems with 4k pages; but make it depend on the page size
because systems with larger base pages might cap stack allocations in
the PAGE_SIZE units) which should cover larger alloca() and VLA stack
allocations. It is obviously not a full fix because the problem is
somehow inherent, but it should reduce attack space a lot.

One could argue that the gap size should be configurable from userspace,
but that can be done later when somebody finds that the new 1MB is wrong
for some special case applications.  For now, add a kernel command line
option (stack_guard_gap) to specify the stack gap size (in page units).

Implementation wise, first delete all the old code for stack guard page:
because although we could get away with accounting one extra page in a
stack vma, accounting a larger gap can break userspace - case in point,
a program run with "ulimit -S -v 20000" failed when the 1MB gap was
counted for RLIMIT_AS; similar problems could come with RLIMIT_MLOCK
and strict non-overcommit mode.

Instead of keeping gap inside the stack vma, maintain the stack guard
gap as a gap between vmas: using vm_start_gap() in place of vm_start
(or vm_end_gap() in place of vm_end if VM_GROWSUP) in just those few
places which need to respect the gap - mainly arch_get_unmapped_area(),
and and the vma tree's subtree_gap support for that.

<title>xtensa: don't use linux IRQ #0</title>

commit e5c86679d5e864947a52fb31e45a425dea3e7fa9 upstream.

Linux IRQ #0 is reserved for error reporting and may not be used.
Increase NR_IRQS for one additional slot and increase
irq_domain_add_legacy parameter first_irq value to 1, so that linux
IRQ #0 is not associated with hardware IRQ #0 in legacy IRQ domains.
Introduce macro XTENSA_PIC_LINUX_IRQ for static translation of xtensa
PIC hardware IRQ # to linux IRQ #. Use this macro in XTFPGA platform
data definitions.

This fixes inability to use hardware IRQ #0 in configurations that don't
use device tree and allows for non-identity mapping between linux IRQ #
and hardware IRQ #.

Pull Xtensa updates from Max Filippov:

 - clean up bootable image build targets: provide separate 'Image',
   'zImage' and 'uImage' make targets that only build corresponding
   image type. Make 'all' build all images appropriate for a platform

 - allow merging vectors code into .text section as a preparation step
   for XIP support

 - fix handling external FDT when the kernel is built without
   BLK_DEV_INITRD support
