Pull arm64 fixes from Will Deacon: "Ryan's been hard at work finding and fixing mm bugs in the arm64 code, so here's a small crop of fixes for -rc5. The main changes are to fix our zapping of non-present PTEs for hugetlb entries created using the contiguous bit in the page-table rather than a block entry at the level above. Prior to these fixes, we were pulling the contiguous bit back out of the PTE in order to determine the size of the hugetlb page but this is clearly bogus if the thing isn't present and consequently both the clearing of the PTE(s) and the TLB invalidation were unreliable. Although the problem was found by code inspection, we really don't want this sitting around waiting to trigger and the changes are CC'd to stable accordingly. Note that the diffstat looks a lot worse than it really is; huge_ptep_get_and_clear() now takes a size argument from the core code and so all the arch implementations of that have been updated in a pretty mechanical fashion. - Fix a sporadic boot failure due to incorrect randomization of the linear map on systems that support it - Fix the zapping (both clearing the entries *and* invalidating the TLB) of hugetlb PTEs constructed using the contiguous bit" * tag 'arm64-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm64/linux: arm64: hugetlb: Fix flush_hugetlb_tlb_range() invalidation level arm64: hugetlb: Fix huge_ptep_get_and_clear() for non-present ptes mm: hugetlb: Add huge page size param to huge_ptep_get_and_clear() arm64/mm: Fix Boot panic on Ampere Altra

mm: hugetlb: Add huge page size param to huge_ptep_get_and_clear()

2025-02-27T17:40:57Z

In order to fix a bug, arm64 needs to be told the size of the huge page for which the huge_pte is being cleared in huge_ptep_get_and_clear(). Provide for this by adding an `unsigned long sz` parameter to the function. This follows the same pattern as huge_pte_clear() and set_huge_pte_at(). This commit makes the required interface modifications to the core mm as well as all arches that implement this function (arm64, loongarch, mips, parisc, powerpc, riscv, s390, sparc). The actual arm64 bug will be fixed in a separate commit.

vmlinux.lds: Ensure that const vars with relocations are mapped R/O

2025-02-25T17:46:15Z

In the kernel, there are architectures (x86, arm64) that perform boot-time relocation (for KASLR) without relying on PIE codegen. In this case, all const global objects are emitted into .rodata, including const objects with fields that will be fixed up by the boot-time relocation code. This implies that .rodata (and .text in some cases) need to be writable at boot, but they will usually be mapped read-only as soon as the boot completes. When using PIE codegen, the compiler will emit const global objects into .data.rel.ro rather than .rodata if the object contains fields that need such fixups at boot-time. This permits the linker to annotate such regions as requiring read-write access only at load time, but not at execution time (in user space), while keeping .rodata truly const (in user space, this is important for reducing the CoW footprint of dynamic executables). This distinction does not matter for the kernel, but it does imply that const data will end up in writable memory if the .data.rel.ro sections are not treated in a special way, as they will end up in the writable .data segment by default. So emit .data.rel.ro into the .rodata segment.

kbuild: keep symbols for symbol_get() even with CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS

2025-02-05T16:08:58Z

Linus observed that the symbol_request(utf8_data_table) call fails when CONFIG_UNICODE=y and CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS=y. symbol_get() relies on the symbol data being present in the ksymtab for symbol lookups. However, EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(utf8_data_table) is dropped due to CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS, as no module references it in this case. Probably, this has been broken since commit dbacb0ef670d ("kconfig option for TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS"). This commit addresses the issue by leveraging modpost. Symbol names passed to symbol_get() are recorded in the special .no_trim_symbol section, which is then parsed by modpost to forcibly keep such symbols. The .no_trim_symbol section is discarded by the linker scripts, so there is no impact on the size of the final vmlinux or modules. This commit cannot resolve the issue for direct calls to __symbol_get() because the symbol name is not known at compile-time. Although symbol_get() may eventually be deprecated, this workaround should be good enough meanwhile. Reported-by: Linus Torvalds Suggested-by: Linus Torvalds Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada

mm: introduce ctor/dtor at PGD level

2025-01-26T04:22:24Z

Following on from the introduction of P4D-level ctor/dtor, let's finish the job and introduce ctor/dtor at PGD level. The incurred improvement in page accounting is minimal - the main motivation is to create a single, generic place where construction/destruction hooks can be added for all page table pages. This patch should cover all architectures and all configurations where PGDs are one or more regular pages. This excludes any configuration where PGDs are allocated from a kmem_cache object.

asm-generic: pgalloc: provide generic __pgd_{alloc,free}

2025-01-26T04:22:24Z

We already have a generic implementation of alloc/free up to P4D level, as well as pgd_free(). Let's finish the work and add a generic PGD-level alloc helper as well. Unlike at lower levels, almost all architectures need some specific magic at PGD level (typically initialising PGD entries), so introducing a generic pgd_alloc() isn't worth it. Instead we introduce two new helpers, __pgd_alloc() and __pgd_free(), and make use of them in the arch-specific pgd_alloc() and pgd_free() wherever possible. To accommodate as many arch as possible, __pgd_alloc() takes a page allocation order. Because pagetable_alloc() allocates zeroed pages, explicit zeroing in pgd_alloc() becomes redundant and we can get rid of it. Some trivial implementations of pgd_free() also become unnecessary once __pgd_alloc() is used; remove them. Another small improvement is consistent accounting of PGD pages by using GFP_PGTABLE_{USER,KERNEL} as appropriate. Not all PGD allocations can be handled by the generic helpers. In particular, multiple architectures allocate PGDs from a kmem_cache, and those PGDs may not be page-sized.

mm: pgtable: introduce generic pagetable_dtor_free()

2025-01-26T04:22:23Z

The pte_free(), pmd_free(), __pud_free() and __p4d_free() in asm-generic/pgalloc.h and the generic __tlb_remove_table() are basically the same, so let's introduce pagetable_dtor_free() to deduplicate them. In addition, the pagetable_dtor_free() in s390 does the same thing, so let's s390 also calls generic pagetable_dtor_free().
