LoongArch: vDSO: Emit GNU_EH_FRAME correctly

2026-04-11T12:19:34+00:00

With -fno-asynchronous-unwind-tables and --no-eh-frame-hdr (the default of the linker), the GNU_EH_FRAME segment (specified by vdso.lds.S) is empty. This is not valid, as the current DWARF specification mandates the first byte of the EH frame to be the version number 1. It causes some unwinders to complain, for example the ClickHouse query profiler spams the log with messages: clickhouse-server[365854]: libunwind: unsupported .eh_frame_hdr version: 127 at 7ffffffb0000 Here "127" is just the byte located at the p_vaddr (0, i.e. the beginning of the vDSO) of the empty GNU_EH_FRAME segment. Cross- checking with /proc/365854/maps has also proven 7ffffffb0000 is the start of vDSO in the process VM image. In LoongArch the -fno-asynchronous-unwind-tables option seems just a MIPS legacy, and MIPS only uses this option to satisfy the MIPS-specific "genvdso" program, per the commit cfd75c2db17e ("MIPS: VDSO: Explicitly use -fno-asynchronous-unwind-tables"). IIRC it indicates some inherent limitation of the MIPS ELF ABI and has nothing to do with LoongArch. So we can simply flip it over to -fasynchronous-unwind-tables and pass --eh-frame-hdr for linking the vDSO, allowing the profilers to unwind the stack for statistics even if the sample point is taken when the PC is in the vDSO. However simply adjusting the options above would exploit an issue: when the libgcc unwinder saw the invalid GNU_EH_FRAME segment, it silently falled back to a machine-specific routine to match the code pattern of rt_sigreturn() and extract the registers saved in the sigframe if the code pattern is matched. As unwinding from signal handlers is vital for libgcc to support pthread cancellation etc., the fall-back routine had been silently keeping the LoongArch Linux systems functioning since Linux 5.19. But when we start to emit GNU_EH_FRAME with the correct format, fall-back routine will no longer be used and libgcc will fail to unwind the sigframe, and unwinding from signal handlers will no longer work, causing dozens of glibc test failures. To make it possible to unwind from signal handlers again, it's necessary to code the unwind info in __vdso_rt_sigreturn via .cfi_* directives. The offsets in the .cfi_* directives depend on the layout of struct sigframe, notably the offset of sigcontext in the sigframe. To use the offset in the assembly file, factor out struct sigframe into a header to allow asm-offsets.c to output the offset for assembly. To work around a long-term issue in the libgcc unwinder (the pc is unconditionally substracted by 1: doing so is technically incorrect for a signal frame), a nop instruction is included with the two real instructions in __vdso_rt_sigreturn in the same FDE PC range. The same hack has been used on x86 for a long time.

LoongArch: Give more information if kmem access failed

2026-03-25T10:06:02+00:00

commit a47f0754bdd01f971c9715acdbdd3a07515c8f83 upstream. If memory access such as copy_{from, to}_kernel_nofault() failed, its users do not know what happened, so it is very useful to print the exception code for such cases. Furthermore, it is better to print the caller function to know where is the entry. Here are the low level call chains: copy_from_kernel_nofault() copy_from_kernel_nofault_loop() __get_kernel_nofault() copy_to_kernel_nofault() copy_to_kernel_nofault_loop() __put_kernel_nofault() Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Tiezhu Yang Signed-off-by: Huacai Chen Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

LoongArch: Add writecombine support for DMW-based ioremap()

2026-02-19T15:28:26+00:00

commit 8e02c3b782ec64343f3cccc8dc5a8be2b379e80b upstream. Currently, only TLB-based ioremap() support writecombine, so add the counterpart for DMW-based ioremap() with help of DMW2. The base address (WRITECOMBINE_BASE) is configured as 0xa000000000000000. DMW3 is unused by kernel now, however firmware may leave garbage in them and interfere kernel's address mapping. So clear it as necessary. BTW, centralize the DMW configuration to macro SETUP_DMWINS. Signed-off-by: Jiaxun Yang Signed-off-by: Huacai Chen Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

LoongArch: Add WriteCombine shadow mapping in KASAN

2026-02-19T15:28:25+00:00

commit 139d42ca51018c1d43ab5f35829179f060d1ab31 upstream. Currently, the kernel couldn't boot when ARCH_IOREMAP, ARCH_WRITECOMBINE and KASAN are enabled together. Because DMW2 is used by kernel now which is configured as 0xa000000000000000 for WriteCombine, but KASAN has no segment mapping for it. This patch fix this issue. Solution: Add the relevant definitions for WriteCombine (DMW2) in KASAN.

LoongArch: Use UAPI types in ptrace UAPI header

[ Upstream commit 20d7338f2d3bcb570068dd6d39b16f1a909fe976 ] The kernel UAPI headers already contain fixed-width integer types, there is no need to rely on the libc types. There may not be a libc available or the libc may not provides the , like for example on nolibc. This also aligns the header with the rest of the LoongArch UAPI headers.

LoongArch: Let {pte,pmd}_modify() record the status of _PAGE_DIRTY

2025-11-24T09:30:07+00:00

commit a073d637c8cfbfbab39b7272226a3fbf3b887580 upstream. Now if the PTE/PMD is dirty with _PAGE_DIRTY but without _PAGE_MODIFIED, after {pte,pmd}_modify() we lose _PAGE_DIRTY, then {pte,pmd}_dirty() return false and lead to data loss. This can happen in certain scenarios such as HW PTW doesn't set _PAGE_MODIFIED automatically, so here we need _PAGE_MODIFIED to record the dirty status (_PAGE_DIRTY). The new modification involves checking whether the original PTE/PMD has the _PAGE_DIRTY flag. If it exists, the _PAGE_MODIFIED bit is also set, ensuring that the {pte,pmd}_dirty() interface can always return accurate information.
