[ Upstream commit 2d8a3179ea035f9341b6a73e5ba4029fc67e983d ]

NIOS2 uses a software-managed TLB for virtual address translation. To
flush a cache line, the original mapping is replaced by one to physical
address 0x0 with no permissions (rwx mapped to 0) set. This can lead to
TLB-permission--related traps when such a nominally flushed entry is
encountered as a mapping for an otherwise valid virtual address within a
process (e.g. due to an MMU-PID-namespace rollover that previously
flushed the complete TLB including entries of existing, running
processes).

The default ptep_set_access_flags implementation from mm/pgtable-generic.c
only forces a TLB-update when the page-table entry has changed within the
page table:

	/*
	 * [...] We return whether the PTE actually changed, which in turn
	 * instructs the caller to do things like update__mmu_cache. [...]
	 */
	int ptep_set_access_flags(struct vm_area_struct *vma,
				  unsigned long address, pte_t *ptep,
				  pte_t entry, int dirty)
	{
		int changed = !pte_same(*ptep, entry);
		if (changed) {
			set_pte_at(vma-&gt;vm_mm, address, ptep, entry);
			flush_tlb_fix_spurious_fault(vma, address);
		}
		return changed;
	}

However, no cross-referencing with the TLB-state occurs, so the
flushing-induced pseudo entries that are responsible for the pagefault
in the first place are never pre-empted from TLB on this code path.

This commit fixes this behaviour by always requesting a TLB-update in
this part of the pagefault handling, fixing spurious page-faults on the
way. The handling is a straightforward port of the logic from the MIPS
architecture via an arch-specific ptep_set_access_flags function ported
from arch/mips/include/asm/pgtable.h.

commit fd0c153daad135d0ec1a53c5dbe6936a724d6ae1 upstream.

If we use the ancient SysV syscall ABI, we'd better have tell the
kernel how to claim that a negative return value is a success.
Use -&gt;orig_r2 for that - it's inaccessible via ptrace, so it's
a fair game for changes and it's normally[*] non-negative on return
from syscall.  Set to -1; syscall is not going to be restart-worthy
by definition, so we won't interfere with that use either.

[*] the only exception is rt_sigreturn(), where we skip the entire
messing with r1/r2 anyway.

<content type='text'>
commit c04e72700f2293013dab40208e809369378f224c upstream.

In the event that random_get_entropy() can't access a cycle counter or
similar, falling back to returning 0 is really not the best we can do.
Instead, at least calling random_get_entropy_fallback() would be
preferable, because that always needs to return _something_, even
falling back to jiffies eventually. It's not as though
random_get_entropy_fallback() is super high precision or guaranteed to
be entropic, but basically anything that's not zero all the time is
better than returning zero all the time.

[ Upstream commit a97b693c3712f040c5802f32b2d685352e08cefa ]

These two architectures implement 8-byte get_user() through
a memcpy() into a four-byte variable, which won't fit.

Use a temporary 64-bit variable instead here, and use a double
cast the way that risc-v and openrisc do to avoid compile-time
warnings.

<title>unify generic instances of csum_partial_copy_nocheck()</title>

quite a few architectures have the same csum_partial_copy_nocheck() -
simply memcpy() the data and then return the csum of the copy.

hexagon, parisc, ia64, s390, um: explicitly spelled out that way.

arc, arm64, csky, h8300, m68k/nommu, microblaze, mips/GENERIC_CSUM, nds32,
nios2, openrisc, riscv, unicore32: end up picking the same thing spelled
out in lib/checksum.h (with varying amounts of perversions along the way).

everybody else (alpha, arm, c6x, m68k/mmu, mips/!GENERIC_CSUM, powerpc,
sh, sparc, x86, xtensa) have non-generic variants.  For all except c6x
the declaration is in their asm/checksum.h.  c6x uses the wrapper
from asm-generic/checksum.h that would normally lead to the lib/checksum.h
instance, but in case of c6x we end up using an asm function from arch/c6x
instead.

Screw that mess - have architectures with private instances define
_HAVE_ARCH_CSUM_AND_COPY in their asm/checksum.h and have the default
one right in net/checksum.h conditional on _HAVE_ARCH_CSUM_AND_COPY
*not* defined.

segment_eq is only used to implement uaccess_kernel.  Just open code
uaccess_kernel in the arch uaccess headers and remove one layer of
indirection.
