<id>urn:sha1:1fe317364cb5bf4893d50880bc903198ab94ce45</id>

commit 3dd31a370c1dccb580f729af7c580ccb1ae3c0c9 upstream.

The assembly code of ip_fast_csum() triggers unaligned access warnings
if the IP header isn't correctly aligned:

 Kernel: unaligned access to 0x173d22e76 in inet_gro_receive+0xbc/0x2e8 (iir 0x0e8810b6)
 Kernel: unaligned access to 0x173d22e7e in inet_gro_receive+0xc4/0x2e8 (iir 0x0e88109a)
 Kernel: unaligned access to 0x173d22e82 in inet_gro_receive+0xc8/0x2e8 (iir 0x0e90109d)
 Kernel: unaligned access to 0x173d22e7a in inet_gro_receive+0xd0/0x2e8 (iir 0x0e9810b8)
 Kernel: unaligned access to 0x173d22e86 in inet_gro_receive+0xdc/0x2e8 (iir 0x0e8810b8)

We have the option to a) ignore the warnings, b) work around it by
adding more code to check for alignment, or c) to switch to the generic
implementation and rely on the compiler to optimize the code.

Let's go with c), because a) isn't nice, and b) would effectively lead
to an implementation which is basically equal to c).

<title>parisc: Flush correct cache in cacheflush() syscall</title>

<id>urn:sha1:f5ed9e50c08724b14687af5e7c05fed2b810a24f</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 2c98a8fbd6aa647414c6248dacf254ebe91c79ad upstream.

The assembly flush instructions were swapped for I- and D-cache flags:

SYSCALL_DEFINE3(cacheflush, ...)
{
	if (cache &amp; DCACHE) {
			"fic ...\n"
	}
	if (cache &amp; ICACHE &amp;&amp; error == 0) {
			"fdc ...\n"
	}

Fix it by using fdc for DCACHE, and fic for ICACHE flushing.

<title>parisc: Check kernel mapping earlier at bootup</title>

<id>urn:sha1:823fb431e4af8e38146d89a1c79b64a85fe12c37</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 17c144f1104bfc29a3ce3f7d0931a1bfb7a3558c upstream.

The check if the initial mapping is sufficient needs to happen much
earlier during bootup. Move this test directly to the start_parisc()
function and use native PDC iodc functions to print the warning, because
panic() and printk() are not functional yet.

This fixes boot when enabling various KALLSYSMS options which need
much more space.

<content type='text'>
commit 8475d8fe21ec9c7eb2faca555fbc5b68cf0d2597 upstream.

The KERNEL_INITIAL_ORDER value defines the initial size (usually 32 or
64 MB) of the page table during bootup. Up until now the whole area was
initialized with PTE entries, but there was no check if we filled too
many entries.  Change the code to fill up with so many entries that the
"_end" symbol can be reached by the kernel, but not more entries than
actually fit into the initial PTE tables.

commit 8e732934fb81282be41602550e7e07baf265e972 upstream.

The 32MB initial kernel mapping can become too small when CONFIG_KALLSYMS
is used. Increase the mapping to 64 MB in this case.

<title>kbuild: Split .modinfo out from ELF_DETAILS</title>

<id>urn:sha1:861aa1be41bc1ba3e13ef6a6f0b58a0626012fc4</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 8678591b47469fe16357234efef9b260317b8be4 upstream.

Commit 3e86e4d74c04 ("kbuild: keep .modinfo section in
vmlinux.unstripped") added .modinfo to ELF_DETAILS while removing it
from COMMON_DISCARDS, as it was needed in vmlinux.unstripped and
ELF_DETAILS was present in all architecture specific vmlinux linker
scripts. While this shuffle is fine for vmlinux, ELF_DETAILS and
COMMON_DISCARDS may be used by other linker scripts, such as the s390
and x86 compressed boot images, which may not expect to have a .modinfo
section. In certain circumstances, this could result in a bootloader
failing to load the compressed kernel [1].

Commit ddc6cbef3ef1 ("s390/boot/vmlinux.lds.S: Ensure bzImage ends with
SecureBoot trailer") recently addressed this for the s390 bzImage but
the same bug remains for arm, parisc, and x86. The presence of .modinfo
in the x86 bzImage was the root cause of the issue worked around with
commit d50f21091358 ("kbuild: align modinfo section for Secureboot
Authenticode EDK2 compat"). misc.c in arch/x86/boot/compressed includes
lib/decompress_unzstd.c, which in turn includes lib/xxhash.c and its
MODULE_LICENSE / MODULE_DESCRIPTION macros due to the STATIC definition.

Split .modinfo out from ELF_DETAILS into its own macro and handle it in
all vmlinux linker scripts. Discard .modinfo in the places where it was
previously being discarded from being in COMMON_DISCARDS, as it has
never been necessary in those uses.

<content type='text'>
commit 5fb1d3ce3e74a4530042795e1e065422295f1371 upstream.

When the kernel leaves to userspace via syscall_restore_rfi(), the
W bit is not set in the new PSW. This doesn't cause any problems
because there's no 64 bit userspace for parisc. Simple static binaries
are usually loaded at addresses way below the 32 bit limit so the W bit
doesn't matter.

Fix this by setting the W bit when TIF_32BIT is not set.
