This adds a special case in ext4_attr_show() and ext4_attr_store() to byteswap the superblock fields if needed. In older kernels, this code was part of super.c, it got moved to sysfs.c in linux-4.4.

This leads to false positives when some of the upper bits are set, but the lower bits match a valid PFN. For example, the following userspace code looks up a bogus entry in /proc/kpageflags: int pagemap = open("/proc/self/pagemap", O_RDONLY); int pageflags = open("/proc/kpageflags", O_RDONLY); uint64_t pfn, val; lseek64(pagemap, [...], SEEK_SET); read(pagemap, &pfn, sizeof(pfn)); if (pfn & (1UL << 63)) { /* valid PFN */ pfn &= ((1UL << 55) - 1); /* clear flag bits */ pfn |= (1UL << 55); lseek64(pageflags, pfn * sizeof(uint64_t), SEEK_SET); read(pageflags, &val, sizeof(val)); } On ARM64 this causes the userspace process to crash with SIGSEGV rather than reading (1 << KPF_NOPAGE). kpageflags_read() treats the offset as valid, and stable_page_flags() will try to access an address between the user and kernel address ranges.

Resending: Please apply commit d1e20222d537 to 4.14.y and 4.18.y

by Jitendra Bhivare

Subject of the patch: iommu/arm-smmu: Error out only if not enough context interrupts Commit ID: 42b88ec6530fd76f1ae06de7f09830bcbca5bbd6 Why: ARM SMMU does not initialize for Broadcom Stingray SoC if bootloader reserves few contexts. Kernel should not error out if there are enough context interrupts. What kernel versions: 4.14.y and 4.18.y (applies cleanly). Before patching: Kernel does not boot using eMMC on Broadcom Stingray SoC with latest bootloader emitting this error "arm-smmu 64000000.mmu: found only 64 context interrupt(s) but 63 required" After patching: Kernel cleanly boots on the SoC. Thanks, JB

I've generated backtrace from can_stop_idle_tick() (see below) and seems this patch makes tick_nohz_irq_exit() call unconditional in case of nested interrupt: gic_handle_irq |- irq_exit |- preempt_count_sub(HARDIRQ_OFFSET); <-- [1] |-__do_softirq <irqs enabled> |- gic_handle_irq() |- irq_exit() |- tick_irq_exit() if (!in_irq()) <-- My understanding is that this condition will be always true due to [1] tick_nohz_irq_exit(); |-__tick_nohz_idle_enter() |- can_stop_idle_tick() Sry, not sure if my conclusion is right and how can it be fixed.
