MAX_ORDER currently defined as number of orders page allocator supports:
user can ask buddy allocator for page order between 0 and MAX_ORDER-1.

This definition is counter-intuitive and lead to number of bugs all over
the kernel.

Change the definition of MAX_ORDER to be inclusive: the range of orders
user can ask from buddy allocator is 0..MAX_ORDER now.

sparc64 uses address space identifiers to differentiate between kernel
and user space, using ASI_P for kernel threads but ASI_AIUS for normal
user space, with the option of changing between them.

As nothing really changes the ASI any more, just hardcode ASI_AIUS
everywhere. Kernel threads are not allowed to access __user pointers
anyway.

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.

While reviewing the signal handlers on sparc it became clear that
si_trapno is only set to a non-zero value when sending SIGILL with
si_code ILL_ILLTRP.

Add force_sig_fault_trapno and send SIGILL ILL_ILLTRP with it.

Remove the define of __ARCH_SI_TRAPNO and remove the always zero
si_trapno parameter from send_sig_fault and force_sig_fault.

<title>sparc64: Fix opcode filtering in handling of no fault loads</title>

<content type='text'>
is_no_fault_exception() has two bugs which were discovered via random
opcode testing with stress-ng. Both are caused by improper filtering
of opcodes.

The first bug can be triggered by a floating point store with a no-fault
ASI, for instance "sta %f0, [%g0] #ASI_PNF", opcode C1A01040.

The code first tests op3[5] (0x1000000), which denotes a floating
point instruction, and then tests op3[2] (0x200000), which denotes a
store instruction. But these bits are not mutually exclusive, and the
above mentioned opcode has both bits set. The intent is to filter out
stores, so the test for stores must be done first in order to have
any effect.

The second bug can be triggered by a floating point load with one of
the invalid ASI values 0x8e or 0x8f, which pass this check in
is_no_fault_exception():
     if ((asi &amp; 0xf2) == ASI_PNF)

An example instruction is "ldqa [%l7 + %o7] #ASI 0x8f, %f38",
opcode CF95D1EF. Asi values greater than 0x8b (ASI_SNFL) are fatal
in handle_ldf_stq(), and is_no_fault_exception() must not allow these
invalid asi values to make it that far.

In both of these cases, handle_ldf_stq() reacts by calling
sun4v_data_access_exception() or spitfire_data_access_exception(),
which call is_no_fault_exception() and results in an infinite
recursion.

<title>mm: don't include asm/pgtable.h if linux/mm.h is already included</title>

<content type='text'>
Patch series "mm: consolidate definitions of page table accessors", v2.

The low level page table accessors (pXY_index(), pXY_offset()) are
duplicated across all architectures and sometimes more than once.  For
instance, we have 31 definition of pgd_offset() for 25 supported
architectures.

Most of these definitions are actually identical and typically it boils
down to, e.g.

static inline unsigned long pmd_index(unsigned long address)
{
        return (address &gt;&gt; PMD_SHIFT) &amp; (PTRS_PER_PMD - 1);
}

static inline pmd_t *pmd_offset(pud_t *pud, unsigned long address)
{
        return (pmd_t *)pud_page_vaddr(*pud) + pmd_index(address);
}

These definitions can be shared among 90% of the arches provided
XYZ_SHIFT, PTRS_PER_XYZ and xyz_page_vaddr() are defined.

For architectures that really need a custom version there is always
possibility to override the generic version with the usual ifdefs magic.

These patches introduce include/linux/pgtable.h that replaces
include/asm-generic/pgtable.h and add the definitions of the page table
accessors to the new header.

This patch (of 12):

The linux/mm.h header includes &lt;asm/pgtable.h&gt; to allow inlining of the
functions involving page table manipulations, e.g.  pte_alloc() and
pmd_alloc().  So, there is no point to explicitly include &lt;asm/pgtable.h&gt;
in the files that include &lt;linux/mm.h&gt;.

The include statements in such cases are remove with a simple loop:

	for f in $(git grep -l "include &lt;linux/mm.h&gt;") ; do
		sed -i -e '/include &lt;asm\/pgtable.h&gt;/ d' $f
	done

Now the last users of show_stack() got converted to use an explicit log
level, show_stack_loglvl() can drop it's redundant suffix and become once
again well known show_stack().

Currently, the log-level of show_stack() depends on a platform
realization.  It creates situations where the headers are printed with
lower log level or higher than the stacktrace (depending on a platform or
user).

Furthermore, it forces the logic decision from user to an architecture
side.  In result, some users as sysrq/kdb/etc are doing tricks with
temporary rising console_loglevel while printing their messages.  And in
result it not only may print unwanted messages from other CPUs, but also
omit printing at all in the unlucky case where the printk() was deferred.

Introducing log-level parameter and KERN_UNSUPPRESSED [1] seems an easier
approach than introducing more printk buffers.  Also, it will consolidate
printings with headers.

Introduce show_stack_loglvl(), that eventually will substitute
show_stack().

Pull force_sig() argument change from Eric Biederman:
 "A source of error over the years has been that force_sig has taken a
  task parameter when it is only safe to use force_sig with the current
  task.

  The force_sig function is built for delivering synchronous signals
  such as SIGSEGV where the userspace application caused a synchronous
  fault (such as a page fault) and the kernel responded with a signal.

  Because the name force_sig does not make this clear, and because the
  force_sig takes a task parameter the function force_sig has been
  abused for sending other kinds of signals over the years. Slowly those
  have been fixed when the oopses have been tracked down.

  This set of changes fixes the remaining abusers of force_sig and
  carefully rips out the task parameter from force_sig and friends
  making this kind of error almost impossible in the future"

As synchronous exceptions really only make sense against the current
task (otherwise how are you synchronous) remove the task parameter
from from force_sig_fault to make it explicit that is what is going
on.

The two known exceptions that deliver a synchronous exception to a
stopped ptraced task have already been changed to
force_sig_fault_to_task.

The callers have been changed with the following emacs regular expression
(with obvious variations on the architectures that take more arguments)
to avoid typos:

force_sig_fault[(]\([^,]+\)[,]\([^,]+\)[,]\([^,]+\)[,]\W+current[)]
-&gt;
force_sig_fault(\1,\2,\3)
