      mm: don't put pinned pages into the swap cache · feb889fb
      Linus Torvalds authored 
      So technically there is nothing wrong with adding a pinned page to the
swap cache, but the pinning obviously means that the page can't actually
be free'd right now anyway, so it's a bit pointless.

However, the real problem is not with it being a bit pointless: the real
issue is that after we've added it to the swap cache, we'll try to unmap
the page.  That will succeed, because the code in mm/rmap.c doesn't know
or care about pinned pages.

Even the unmapping isn't fatal per se, since the page will stay around
in memory due to the pinning, and we do hold the connection to it using
the swap cache.  But when we then touch it next and take a page fault,
the logic in do_swap_page() will map it back into the process as a
possibly read-only page, and we'll then break the page association on
the next COW fault.

Honestly, this issue could have been fixed in any of those other places:
(a) we could refuse to unmap a pinned page (which makes conceptual
sense), or (b) we could make sure to re-map a pinned page writably in
do_swap_page(), or (c) we could just make do_wp_page() not COW the
pinned page (which was what we historically did before that "mm:
do_wp_page() simplification" commit).

But while all of them are equally valid models for breaking this chain,
not putting pinned pages into the swap cache in the first place is the
simplest one by far.

It's also the safest one: the reason why do_wp_page() was changed in the
first place was that getting the "can I re-use this page" wrong is so
fraught with errors.  If you do it wrong, you end up with an incorrectly
shared page.

As a result, using "page_maybe_dma_pinned()" in either do_wp_page() or
do_swap_page() would be a serious bug since it is only a (very good)
heuristic.  Re-using the page requires a hard black-and-white rule with
no room for ambiguity.

In contrast, saying "this page is very likely dma pinned, so let's not
add it to the swap cache and try to unmap it" is an obviously safe thing
to do, and if the heuristic might very rarely be a false positive, no
harm is done.

      Pull RISC-V fixes from Palmer Dabbelt:
 "There are a few more fixes than a normal rc4, largely due to the
  bubble introduced by the holiday break:

   - return -ENOSYS for syscall number -1, which previously returned an
     uninitialized value.

   - ensure of_clk_init() has been called in time_init(), without which
     clock drivers may not be initialized.

   - fix sifive,uart0 driver to properly display the baud rate. A fix to
     initialize MPIE that allows interrupts to be processed during
     system calls.

   - avoid erronously begin tracing IRQs when interrupts are disabled,
     which at least triggers suprious lockdep failures.

   - workaround for a warning related to calling smp_processor_id()
     while preemptible. The warning itself is suprious on currently
     availiable systems.

   - properly include the generic time VDSO calls. A fix to our kasan
     address mapping. A fix to the HiFive Unleashed device tree, which
     allows the Ethernet PHY to be properly initialized by Linux (as
     opposed to relying on the bootloader).

   - defconfig update to include SiFive's GPIO driver, which is present
     on the HiFive Unleashed and necessary to initialize the PHY.

   - avoid allocating memory while initializing reserved memory.

   - avoid allocating the last 4K of memory, as pointers there alias
     with syscall errors.

  There are also two cleanups that should have no functional effect but
  do fix build warnings:

   - drop a duplicated definition of PAGE_KERNEL_EXEC.

   - properly declare the asm register SP shim.

   - cleanup the rv32 memory size Kconfig entry, to reflect the actual
     size of memory availiable"

      mm: don't play games with pinned pages in clear_page_refs · 9348b73c
      Linus Torvalds authored 
      Turning a pinned page read-only breaks the pinning after COW.  Don't do it.

The whole "track page soft dirty" state doesn't work with pinned pages
anyway, since the page might be dirtied by the pinning entity without
ever being noticed in the page tables.

      RISC-V: Fix maximum allowed phsyical memory for RV32 · e5577937
      Atish Patra authored 
      Linux kernel can only map 1GB of address space for RV32 as the page offset
is set to 0xC0000000. The current description in the Kconfig is confusing
as it indicates that RV32 can support 2GB of physical memory. That is
simply not true for current kernel. In future, a 2GB split support can be
added to allow 2GB physical address space.

      RISC-V: Set current memblock limit · abb8e86b
      Atish Patra authored 
      Currently, linux kernel can not use last 4k bytes of addressable space
because IS_ERR_VALUE macro treats those as an error. This will be an issue
for RV32 as any memblock allocator potentially allocate chunk of memory
from the end of DRAM (2GB) leading bad address error even though the
address was technically valid.

Fix this issue by limiting the memblock if available memory spans the
entire address space.

      RISC-V: Do not allocate memblock while iterating reserved memblocks · 797f0375
      Atish Patra authored 
      Currently, resource tree allocates memory blocks while iterating on the
list. It leads to following kernel warning because memblock allocation
also invokes memory block reservation API.

This is also unnecessary as we can pre-compute the total memblocks required
for each memory region and allocate it before the loop. It save precious
boot time not going through memblock allocation code every time.
