nios2: force update_mmu_cache on spurious tlb-permission--related pagefaults

2025-06-27T10:04:17+00:00

[ 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->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.

nios2: dts: Fix tse_mac "max-frame-size" property

2023-06-21T13:45:37+00:00

commit 85041e12418fd0c08ff972b7729f7971afb361f8 upstream. The given value of 1518 seems to refer to the layer 2 ethernet frame size without 802.1Q tag. Actual use of the "max-frame-size" including in the consumer of the "altr,tse-1.0" compatible is the MTU.

exit: Add and use make_task_dead.

2023-02-01T07:23:19+00:00

commit 0e25498f8cd43c1b5aa327f373dd094e9a006da7 upstream. There are two big uses of do_exit. The first is it's design use to be the guts of the exit(2) system call. The second use is to terminate a task after something catastrophic has happened like a NULL pointer in kernel code. Add a function make_task_dead that is initialy exactly the same as do_exit to cover the cases where do_exit is called to handle catastrophic failure. In time this can probably be reduced to just a light wrapper around do_task_dead. For now keep it exactly the same so that there will be no behavioral differences introducing this new concept. Replace all of the uses of do_exit that use it for catastraphic task cleanup with make_task_dead to make it clear what the code is doing. As part of this rename rewind_stack_do_exit rewind_stack_and_make_dead. Signed-off-by: "Eric W. Biederman" Signed-off-by: Eric Biggers Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin

arch: setup PF_IO_WORKER threads like PF_KTHREAD

2023-01-04T10:39:22+00:00

[ Upstream commit 4727dc20e0422211a0e0c72b1ace4ed6096df8a6 ] PF_IO_WORKER are kernel threads too, but they aren't PF_KTHREAD in the sense that we don't assign ->set_child_tid with our own structure. Just ensure that every arch sets up the PF_IO_WORKER threads like kthreads in the arch implementation of copy_thread(). Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

nios2: add force_successful_syscall_return()

2022-08-25T09:38:04+00:00

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 ->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.
