A test [1] in Android test suite started failing after [2] was merged.  It
turns out that after handling a major fault under per-VMA lock, the
process major fault counter does not register that fault as major.  Before
[2] read faults would be done under mmap_lock, in which case
FAULT_FLAG_TRIED flag is set before retrying.  That in turn causes
mm_account_fault() to account the fault as major once retry completes. 
With per-VMA locks we often retry because a fault can't be handled without
locking the whole mm using mmap_lock.  Therefore such retries do not set
FAULT_FLAG_TRIED flag.  This logic does not work after [2] because we can
now handle read major faults under per-VMA lock and upon retry the fact
there was a major fault gets lost.  Fix this by setting FAULT_FLAG_TRIED
after retrying under per-VMA lock if VM_FAULT_MAJOR was returned.  Ideally
we would use an additional VM_FAULT bit to indicate the reason for the
retry (could not handle under per-VMA lock vs other reason) but this
simpler solution seems to work, so keeping it simple.

Remove 'file' parameter from struct machdep_calls.phys_mem_access_prot
and its implementation in pci_phys_mem_access_prot(). The file is not
used on PowerPC. By removing it, a later patch can simplify fbdev's
mmap code, which uses phys_mem_access_prot() on PowerPC.

<content type='text'>
With commit 9fee28baa601 ("powerpc: implement the new page table range
API") we added set_ptes to powerpc architecture. The implementation
included calling arch_enter/leave_lazy_mmu() calls.

The patch removes the usage of arch_enter/leave_lazy_mmu() because
set_pte is not supposed to be used when updating a pte entry. Powerpc
architecture uses this rule to skip the expensive tlb invalidate which
is not needed when you are setting up the pte for the first time. See
commit 56eecdb912b5 ("mm: Use ptep/pmdp_set_numa() for updating
_PAGE_NUMA bit") for more details

The patch also makes sure we are not using the interface to update a
valid/present pte entry by adding VM_WARN_ON check all the ptes we
are setting up. Furthermore, we add a comment to set_pte_filter to
clarify it can only update folio-related flags and cannot filter
pfn specific details in pte filtering.

Removal of arch_enter/leave_lazy_mmu() also will avoid nesting of
these functions that are not supported. For ex:

remap_pte_range()
  -&gt; arch_enter_lazy_mmu()
  -&gt; set_ptes()
      -&gt; arch_enter_lazy_mmu()
      -&gt; arch_leave_lazy_mmu()
  -&gt; arch_leave_lazy_mmu()

A bisect pointed to the breakage beginning with commit 9fee28baa601 ("powerpc:
implement the new page table range API").

Analysis of the oops pointed to a struct page with a corrupted
compound_head being loaded via page_folio() -&gt; _compound_head() in
hash_page_do_lazy_icache().

The access by the mpic code is to an MMIO address, so the expectation
is that the struct page for that address would be initialised by
init_unavailable_range(), as pointed out by Aneesh.

Instrumentation showed that was not the case, which eventually lead to
the realisation that pfn_valid() was returning false for that address,
causing the struct page to not be initialised.

Because the system is using FLATMEM, the version of pfn_valid() in
memory_model.h is used:

static inline int pfn_valid(unsigned long pfn)
{
	...
	return pfn &gt;= pfn_offset &amp;&amp; (pfn - pfn_offset) &lt; max_mapnr;
}

Which relies on max_mapnr being initialised. Early in boot max_mapnr is
zero meaning no PFNs are valid.

max_mapnr is initialised in mem_init() called via:

  start_kernel()
    mm_core_init()  # init/main.c:928
      mem_init()

But that is too late for the usage in init_unavailable_range() called via:

  start_kernel()
    setup_arch()    # init/main.c:893
      paging_init()
        free_area_init()
          init_unavailable_range()

Although max_mapnr is currently set in mem_init(), the value is actually
already available much earlier, as soon as mem_topology_setup() has
completed, which is also before paging_init() is called. So move the
initialisation there, which causes paging_init() to correctly initialise
the struct page and fixes the bug.

This bug seems to have been lurking for years, but went unnoticed
because the pre-folio code was inspecting the uninitialised page-&gt;flags
but not dereferencing it.

Thanks to Erhard and Aneesh for help debugging.

Sparse reports several endianness warnings on variables and functions
that are consistently treated as big endian. There are no
multi-endianness shenanigans going on here so fix these low hanging
fruit up in one patch.

All changes are just type annotations; no endianness switching
operations are introduced by this patch.

<title>powerpc: Support execute-only on all powerpc</title>

<id>b1fba034a6793e9601d581594a781b46c255471f</id>
<content type='text'>
Introduce PAGE_EXECONLY_X macro which provides exec-only rights.
The _X may be seen as redundant with the EXECONLY but it helps
keep consistency, all macros having the EXEC right have _X.

And put it next to PAGE_NONE as PAGE_EXECONLY_X is
somehow PAGE_NONE + EXEC just like all other SOMETHING_X are
just SOMETHING + EXEC.

On book3s/64 PAGE_EXECONLY becomes PAGE_READONLY_X.

On book3s/64, as PAGE_EXECONLY is only valid for Radix add
VM_READ flag in vm_get_page_prot() for non-Radix.

And update access_error() so that a non exec fault on a VM_EXEC only
mapping is always invalid, even when the underlying layer don't
always generate a fault for that.

For 8xx, set PAGE_EXECONLY_X as _PAGE_NA | _PAGE_EXEC.
For others, only set it as just _PAGE_EXEC

With that change, 8xx, e500 and 44x fully honor execute-only
protection.

On 40x that is a partial implementation of execute-only. The
implementation won't be complete because once a TLB has been loaded
via the Instruction TLB miss handler, it will be possible to read
the page. But at least it can't be read unless it is executed first.

On 603 MMU, TLB missed are handled by SW and there are separate
DTLB and ITLB. Execute-only is therefore now supported by not loading
DTLB when read access is not permitted.

On hash (604) MMU it is more tricky because hash table is common to
load/store and execute. Nevertheless it is still possible to check
whether _PAGE_READ is set before loading hash table for a load/store
access. At least it can't be read unless it is executed first.
