There's nothing IST-worthy about #BP/int3.  We don't allow kprobes
in the small handful of places in the kernel that run at CPL0 with
an invalid stack, and 32-bit kernels have used normal interrupt
gates for #BP forever.

Furthermore, we don't allow kprobes in places that have usergs while
in kernel mode, so "paranoid" is also unnecessary.

 "Two regression fixes, two bug fixes for older issues, two fixes for
  new functionality added this cycle that have userspace ABI concerns,
  and a small cleanup. These have appeared in a linux-next release and

   * The 4.16 rework of altmap handling led to some configurations
     leaking page table allocations due to freeing from the altmap
     reservation rather than the page allocator.

     The impact without the fix is leaked memory and a WARN() message
     when tearing down libnvdimm namespaces. The rework also missed a
     place where error handling code needed to be removed that can lead
     to a crash if devm_memremap_pages() fails.

   * acpi_map_pxm_to_node() had a latent bug whereby it could
     misidentify the closest online node to a given proximity domain.

   * Block integrity handling was reworked several kernels back to allow
     calling add_disk() after setting up the integrity profile.

     The nd_btt and nd_blk drivers are just now catching up to fix
     automatic partition detection at driver load time.

   * The new peristence_domain attribute, a platform indicator of
     whether cpu caches are powerfail protected for example, is meant to
     be a single value enum and not a set of flags.

     This oversight was caught while reviewing new userspace code in
     libndctl to communicate the attribute.

<id>b6bdb7517c3d3f41f20e5c2948d6bc3f8897394e</id>
<content type='text'>
On architectures with CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_HUGE_VMAP set, ioremap() may
create pud/pmd mappings.  A kernel panic was observed on arm64 systems
with Cortex-A75 in the following steps as described by Hanjun Guo.

 1. ioremap a 4K size, valid page table will build,
 2. iounmap it, pte0 will set to 0;
 3. ioremap the same address with 2M size, pgd/pmd is unchanged,
    then set the a new value for pmd;
 4. pte0 is leaked;
 5. CPU may meet exception because the old pmd is still in TLB,
    which will lead to kernel panic.

This panic is not reproducible on x86.  INVLPG, called from iounmap,
purges all levels of entries associated with purged address on x86.  x86
still has memory leak.

The patch changes the ioremap path to free unmapped page table(s) since
doing so in the unmap path has the following issues:

 - The iounmap() path is shared with vunmap(). Since vmap() only
   supports pte mappings, making vunmap() to free a pte page is an
   overhead for regular vmap users as they do not need a pte page freed
   up.

 - Checking if all entries in a pte page are cleared in the unmap path
   is racy, and serializing this check is expensive.

 - The unmap path calls free_vmap_area_noflush() to do lazy TLB purges.
   Clearing a pud/pmd entry before the lazy TLB purges needs extra TLB
   purge.

Add two interfaces, pud_free_pmd_page() and pmd_free_pte_page(), which
clear a given pud/pmd entry and free up a page for the lower level
entries.

This patch implements their stub functions on x86 and arm64, which work
as workaround.

On architectures with CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_HUGE_VMAP set, ioremap() may
create pud/pmd mappings.  A kernel panic was observed on arm64 systems
with Cortex-A75 in the following steps as described by Hanjun Guo.

 1. ioremap a 4K size, valid page table will build,
 2. iounmap it, pte0 will set to 0;
 3. ioremap the same address with 2M size, pgd/pmd is unchanged,
    then set the a new value for pmd;
 4. pte0 is leaked;
 5. CPU may meet exception because the old pmd is still in TLB,
    which will lead to kernel panic.

This panic is not reproducible on x86.  INVLPG, called from iounmap,
purges all levels of entries associated with purged address on x86.  x86
still has memory leak.

The patch changes the ioremap path to free unmapped page table(s) since
doing so in the unmap path has the following issues:

 - The iounmap() path is shared with vunmap(). Since vmap() only
   supports pte mappings, making vunmap() to free a pte page is an
   overhead for regular vmap users as they do not need a pte page freed
   up.

 - Checking if all entries in a pte page are cleared in the unmap path
   is racy, and serializing this check is expensive.

 - The unmap path calls free_vmap_area_noflush() to do lazy TLB purges.
   Clearing a pud/pmd entry before the lazy TLB purges needs extra TLB
   purge.

Add two interfaces, pud_free_pmd_page() and pmd_free_pte_page(), which
clear a given pud/pmd entry and free up a page for the lower level
entries.

<title>h8300: remove extraneous __BIG_ENDIAN definition</title>

A bugfix I did earlier caused a build regression on h8300, which defines
the __BIG_ENDIAN macro in a slightly different way than the generic
code:

  arch/h8300/include/asm/byteorder.h:5:0: warning: "__BIG_ENDIAN" redefined

We don't need to define it here, as the same macro is already provided
by the linux/byteorder/big_endian.h, and that version does not conflict.

While this is a v4.16 regression, my earlier patch also got backported
to the 4.14 and 4.15 stable kernels, so we need the fixup there as well.
