PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} macros were introduced *long* time
ago with promise that one day it will be possible to implement page
cache with bigger chunks than PAGE_SIZE.This promise never materialized. And unlikely will.
We have many places where PAGE_CACHE_SIZE assumed to be equal to
PAGE_SIZE. And it's constant source of confusion on whether
PAGE_CACHE_* or PAGE_* constant should be used in a particular case,
especially on the border between fs and mm.Global switching to PAGE_CACHE_SIZE != PAGE_SIZE would cause to much
breakage to be doable.Let's stop pretending that pages in page cache are special. They are
not.The changes are pretty straight-forward:
- << (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> ;
- >> (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> ;
- PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} -> PAGE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN};
- page_cache_get() -> get_page();
- page_cache_release() -> put_page();
This patch contains automated changes generated with coccinelle using
script below. For some reason, coccinelle doesn't patch header files.
I've called spatch for them manually.The only adjustment after coccinelle is revert of changes to
PAGE_CAHCE_ALIGN definition: we are going to drop it later.There are few places in the code where coccinelle didn't reach. I'll
fix them manually in a separate patch. Comments and documentation also
will be addressed with the separate patch.virtual patch

The seccomp filter support requires careful handling of task registers. This
includes reloading of the return value (%r28) and proper syscall exit if
secure_computing() returned -1.Additionally we need to sign-extend the syscall number from signed 32bit to

Implement the stack depot and provide CONFIG_STACKDEPOT. Stack depot
will allow KASAN store allocation/deallocation stack traces for memory
chunks. The stack traces are stored in a hash table and referenced by
handles which reside in the kasan_alloc_meta and kasan_free_meta
structures in the allocated memory chunks.IRQ stack traces are cut below the IRQ entry point to avoid unnecessary
duplication.Right now stackdepot support is only enabled in SLAB allocator. Once
KASAN features in SLAB are on par with those in SLUB we can switch SLUB
to stackdepot as well, thus removing the dependency on SLUB stack
bookkeeping, which wastes a lot of memory.This patch is based on the "mm: kasan: stack depots" patch originally
prepared by Dmitry Chernenkov.Joonsoo has said that he plans to reuse the stackdepot code for the
mm/page_owner.c debugging facility.[akpm@linux-foundation.org: s/depot_stack_handle/depot_stack_handle_t]

KASAN needs to know whether the allocation happens in an IRQ handler.
This lets us strip everything below the IRQ entry point to reduce the
number of unique stack traces needed to be stored.Move the definition of __irq_entry to so that the
users don't need to pull in . Also introduce the
__softirq_entry macro which is similar to __irq_entry, but puts the
corresponding functions to the .softirqentry.text section.Signed-off-by: Alexander Potapenko

Currently we disable preemption in copy_to_user_page; a behaviour that
we inherited from the 32-bit arm code. This was necessary for older
cores without broadcast data cache maintenance, and ensured that cache
lines were dirtied and cleaned by the same CPU. On these systems dirty
cache line migration was not possible, so this was sufficient to
guarantee coherency.On contemporary systems, cache coherence protocols permit (dirty) cache
lines to migrate between CPUs as a result of speculation, prefetching,
and other behaviours. To account for this, in ARMv8 data cache
maintenance operations are broadcast and affect all data caches in the
domain associated with the VA (i.e. ISH for kernel and user mappings).In __switch_to we ensure that tasks can be safely migrated in the middle
of a maintenance sequence, using a dsb(ish) to ensure prior explicit
memory accesses are observed and cache maintenance operations are
completed before a task can be run on another CPU.Given the above, it is not necessary to disable preemption in
copy_to_user_page. This patch removes the preempt_{disable,enable}
calls, permitting preemption.Signed-off-by: Mark Rutland

Commit 324420bf91f60582 ("arm64: add support for ioremap() block

code by explicitly setting the P?D_TYPE_SECT bits (which are implicitly
retained by mk_sect_prot() for any valid prot), but are otherwise
identical (and cannot fail on arm64).For simplicity and consistency, make use of these in the initial page
table creation code.Signed-off-by: Mark Rutland

The KASLR code incorrectly expects the contents of x18 to be preserved
across a call into C code, and uses it to stash the contents of SCTLR_EL1
before enabling the MMU. If the MMU needs to be disabled again to create
the randomized kernel mapping, x18 is written back to SCTLR_EL1, which is
likely to crash the system if x18 has been clobbered by kasan_early_init()
or kaslr_early_init(). So use x22 instead, which is not in use so far in
