arch: Add the macro COMPILE_OFFSETS to all the asm-offsets.c

2025-11-02T13:14:41+00:00

[ Upstream commit 35561bab768977c9e05f1f1a9bc00134c85f3e28 ] The include/generated/asm-offsets.h is generated in Kbuild during compiling from arch/SRCARCH/kernel/asm-offsets.c. When we want to generate another similar offset header file, circular dependency can happen. For example, we want to generate a offset file include/generated/test.h, which is included in include/sched/sched.h. If we generate asm-offsets.h first, it will fail, as include/sched/sched.h is included in asm-offsets.c and include/generated/test.h doesn't exist; If we generate test.h first, it can't success neither, as include/generated/asm-offsets.h is included by it. In x86_64, the macro COMPILE_OFFSETS is used to avoid such circular dependency. We can generate asm-offsets.h first, and if the COMPILE_OFFSETS is defined, we don't include the "generated/test.h". And we define the macro COMPILE_OFFSETS for all the asm-offsets.c for this purpose. Signed-off-by: Menglong Dong Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin

nios2: ensure that memblock.current_limit is set when setting pfn limits

2025-10-29T13:06:59+00:00

[ Upstream commit a20b83cf45be2057f3d073506779e52c7fa17f94 ] On nios2, with CONFIG_FLATMEM set, the kernel relies on memblock_get_current_limit() to determine the limits of mem_map, in particular for max_low_pfn. Unfortunately, memblock.current_limit is only default initialized to MEMBLOCK_ALLOC_ANYWHERE at this point of the bootup, potentially leading to situations where max_low_pfn can erroneously exceed the value of max_pfn and, thus, the valid range of available DRAM. This can in turn cause kernel-level paging failures, e.g.: [ 76.900000] Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 20303000 [ 76.900000] ea = c0080890, ra = c000462c, cause = 14 [ 76.900000] Kernel panic - not syncing: Oops [ 76.900000] ---[ end Kernel panic - not syncing: Oops ]--- This patch fixes this by pre-calculating memblock.current_limit based on the upper limits of the available memory ranges via adjust_lowmem_bounds, a simplified version of the equivalent implementation within the arm architecture.

of/fdt: add dt_phys arg to early_init_dt_scan and early_init_dt_verify

2024-12-09T09:31:56+00:00

[ Upstream commit b2473a359763e27567993e7d8f37de82f57a0829 ] __pa() is only intended to be used for linear map addresses and using it for initial_boot_params which is in fixmap for arm64 will give an incorrect value. Hence save the physical address when it is known at boot time when calling early_init_dt_scan for arm64 and use it at kexec time instead of converting the virtual address using __pa(). Note that arm64 doesn't need the FDT region reserved in the DT as the kernel explicitly reserves the passed in FDT. Therefore, only a debug warning is fixed with this change.

mm: Introduce flush_cache_vmap_early()

2024-02-16T18:10:52+00:00

[ Upstream commit 7a92fc8b4d20680e4c20289a670d8fca2d1f2c1b ] The pcpu setup when using the page allocator sets up a new vmalloc mapping very early in the boot process, so early that it cannot use the flush_cache_vmap() function which may depend on structures not yet initialized (for example in riscv, we currently send an IPI to flush other cpus TLB). But on some architectures, we must call flush_cache_vmap(): for example, in riscv, some uarchs can cache invalid TLB entries so we need to flush the new established mapping to avoid taking an exception. So fix this by introducing a new function flush_cache_vmap_early() which is called right after setting the new page table entry and before accessing this new mapping. This new function implements a local flush tlb on riscv and is no-op for other architectures (same as today).

Pull x86 shadow stack support from Dave Hansen: "This is the long awaited x86 shadow stack support, part of Intel's Control-flow Enforcement Technology (CET). CET consists of two related security features: shadow stacks and indirect branch tracking. This series implements just the shadow stack part of this feature, and just for userspace. The main use case for shadow stack is providing protection against return oriented programming attacks. It works by maintaining a secondary (shadow) stack using a special memory type that has protections against modification. When executing a CALL instruction, the processor pushes the return address to both the normal stack and to the special permission shadow stack. Upon RET, the processor pops the shadow stack copy and compares it to the normal stack copy.

nios2: fix flush_dcache_page() for usage from irq context

2023-08-24T23:20:31+00:00

Since at least kernel 6.1, flush_dcache_page() is called with IRQs disabled, e.g. from aio_complete(). But the current implementation for flush_dcache_page() on NIOS2 unintentionally re-enables IRQs, which may lead to deadlocks. Fix it by using xa_lock_irqsave() and xa_unlock_irqrestore() for the flush_dcache_mmap_*lock() macros instead.
