On ARM, update_mmu_cache() does dcache flush for a page only if
it has a kernel mapping (page_mapping(page) != NULL). The correct
behavior would be to force the flush based on dcache_dirty bit only.
One of the cases where present logic would be a problem is when
a RAM based block device[1] is used as a swap disk. In this case,
we would have in-memory data corruption as shown in steps below:
do_swap_page()
{
- Allocate a new page (if not already in swap cache)
- Issue read from swap disk
- Block driver issues flush_dcache_page()
- flush_dcache_page() simply sets PG_dcache_dirty bit and does not
actually issue a flush since this page has no user space mapping yet.
- Now, if swap disk is almost full, this newly read page is removed
from swap cache and corrsponding swap slot is freed.
- Map this page anonymously in user space.
- update_mmu_cache()
- Since this page does not have kernel mapping (its not in page/swap
cache and is mapped anonymously), it does not issue dcache flush
even if dcache_dirty bit is set by flush_dcache_page() above.
<user now gets stale data since dcache was never flushed>
}
Same problem exists on mips too.
[1] example:
- brd (RAM based block device)
- ramzswap (RAM based compressed swap device)

If sparsemem is enabled, the start_pfn passed to the free_memmap()
function corresponds to an area of memory not known to the kernel and
pfn_to_page returns a wrong value. The (start_pfn - 1), however, is
known to the kernel.

This is needed because applications using the sys_cacheflush system call
can pass a memory range which isn't mapped yet even though the
corresponding vma is valid. The patch also adds unwinding annotations
for correct backtraces from the coherent_user_range() functions.

According to the following in arch/arm/mm/fault.c page faults from
kernel mode are invalid if mmap_sem is already held and there is
no exception handler defined for the faulting instruction:
/*
* As per x86, we may deadlock here. However, since the kernel only
* validly references user space from well defined areas of the code,
* we can bug out early if this is from code which shouldn't.
*/
if (!down_read_trylock(&mm->mmap_sem)) {
if (!user_mode(regs) && !search_exception_tables(regs->ARM_pc))
goto no_context;
Since mmap_sem can be held at arbitrary times by another thread this
also means that any page faults from kernel mode are invalid if no
exception handler is defined for them, regardless whether mmap_sem is
held at the time of fault.
To easier detect code that can trigger the above error, add a check
also for the case where mmap_sem is acquired. As this has an overhead
make it a VM debug check.

Currently, on ARMv6 and ARMv7, if an application tries to execute
code (or garbage) on non-executable page it hangs. It caused by
incorrect prefetch abort handling. Now every prefetch abort
processes as a translation fault.
To fix this we have to analyze instruction fault status register
to figure out reason why we've got the abort and process it
accordingly.
To make IFSR different from DFSR we set bit 31 which is reserved in
both IFSR and DFSR.
This patch also tries to protect from future hangs on unexpected
exceptions. An application will be killed if unexpected exception
type was received.

Instruction fault status register, IFSR, was introduced on ARMv6 to
provide status information about the last insturction fault. It
needed for proper prefetch abort handling.
Now we have three prefetch abort model:
* legacy - for CPUs before ARMv6. They doesn't provide neither
IFSR nor IFAR. We simulate IFSR with section translation fault
status for them to generalize code;
* ARMv6 - provides IFSR, but not IFAR;
* ARMv7 - provides both IFSR and IFAR.

Commit 1522ac3ec95ff0230e7aa516f86b674fdf72866c
("Fix virtual to physical translation macro corner cases")
breaks the end of memory check in valid_phys_addr_range().
The modified expression results in the apparent /dev/mem size
being 2 bytes smaller than what it actually is.
This patch reworks the expression to correctly check the address,
while maintaining use of a valid address to __pa().

We suffer an unfortunate combination of "features" which makes highmem
support on platforms without hardware TLB maintainence broadcast difficult:
- we need kmap_high_get() support for DMA cache coherence
- this requires kmap_high() to take a spinlock with IRQs disabled
- kmap_high() occasionally calls flush_all_zero_pkmaps() to clear
out old mappings
- flush_all_zero_pkmaps() calls flush_tlb_kernel_range(), which
on s/w IPI'd systems eventually calls smp_call_function_many()
- smp_call_function_many() must not be called with IRQs disabled:

ARMv6 introduces non-executable mappings, which can cause prefetch aborts
when an attempt is made to execute from such a mapping. Currently, this
causes us to loop in the page fault handler since we don't correctly
check for proper permissions.
Fix this by checking that VMAs have VM_EXEC set for prefetch aborts.

On OMAP platforms, some people want to declare to segment up the memory
between the kernel and a separate application such that there is a hole
in the middle of the memory as far as Linux is concerned. However,
they want to be able to mmap() the hole.
This currently causes problems, because update_mmu_cache() thinks that
there are valid struct pages for the "hole". Fix this by making
pfn_valid() slightly more expensive, by checking whether the PFN is
contained within the meminfo array.

highmem
Let's suppose a highmem page is kmap'd with kmap(). A pkmap entry is
used, the page mapped to it, and the virtual cache is dirtied. Then
kunmap() is used which does virtually nothing except for decrementing a
usage count.
Then, let's suppose the _same_ page gets mapped using kmap_atomic().
It is therefore mapped onto a fixmap entry instead, which has a
different virtual address unaware of the dirty cache data for that page
sitting in the pkmap mapping.
Fortunately it is easy to know if a pkmap mapping still exists for that
page and use it directly with kmap_atomic(), thanks to kmap_high_get().
And actual testing with a printk in the added code path shows that this
condition is actually met *extremely* frequently. Seems that we've been
quite lucky that things have worked so well with highmem so far.

In xdr_partial_copy_from_skb() there is that sequence:
kaddr = kmap_atomic(*ppage, KM_SKB_SUNRPC_DATA);
[...]
flush_dcache_page(*ppage);
kunmap_atomic(kaddr, KM_SKB_SUNRPC_DATA);
Mixing flush_dcache_page() and kmap_atomic() is a bit odd,
especially since kunmap_atomic() must deal with cache issues
already. OTOH the non-highmem case must use flush_dcache_page()
as kunmap_atomic() becomes a no op with no cache maintenance.
Problem is that with highmem the implementation of kmap_atomic()
doesn't set page->virtual, and page_address(page) returns 0 in
that case. Here flush_dcache_page() calls __flush_dcache_page()
which calls __cpuc_flush_dcache_page(page_address(page)) resulting
in a kernel oops.
None of the kmap_atomic() implementations uses set_page_address().
Hence we can assume page_address() is always expected to return 0 in
that case. Let's conditionally call __cpuc_flush_dcache_page() only
when the page address is non zero, and perform that test only when
highmem is configured.

Currently, highmem is selectable, and you can request an increased
vmalloc area. However, none of this has any effect on the memory
layout since a patch in the highmem series was accidentally dropped.
Moreover, even if you did want highmem, all memory would still be
registered as lowmem, possibly resulting in overflow of the available
virtual mapping space.
The highmem boundary is determined by the highest allowed beginning
of the vmalloc area, which depends on its configurable minimum size
(see commit 60296c71f6c5063e3c1f1d2619ca0b60940162e7 for details on
this).
We should create mappings and initialize bootmem only for low memory,
while the zone allocator must still be told about highmem.
Currently, memory nodes which are completely located in high memory
are not supported. This is not a huge limitation since systems
relying on highmem support are unlikely to have discontiguous memory
with large holes.
[ A similar patch was meant to be merged before commit 5f0fbf9ecaf3
and be available in Linux v2.6.30, however some git rebase screw-up
of mine dropped the first commit of the series, and that goofage
escaped testing somehow as well. -- Nico ]

Currently, whenever an erratum workaround is enabled, it will be
applied whether or not the erratum is relevent for the CPU. This
patch changes this - we check the variant and revision fields in the
main ID register to determine which errata to apply.
We also avoid re-applying erratum 460075 if it has already been applied.
Applying this fix in non-secure mode results in the kernel failing to
boot (or even do anything.)
This fixes booting on some ARMv7 based platforms which otherwise
silently fail.
