powerpc, perf: Check that current->mm is alive before getting user callchain

2026-03-19T15:15:09Z

[ Upstream commit e9bbfb4bfa86c6b5515b868d6982ac60505d7e39 ] It may happen that mm is already released, which leads to kernel panic. This adds the NULL check for current->mm, similarly to commit 20afc60f892d ("x86, perf: Check that current->mm is alive before getting user callchain"). I was getting this panic when running a profiling BPF program (profile.py from bcc-tools): [26215.051935] Kernel attempted to read user page (588) - exploit attempt? (uid: 0) [26215.051950] BUG: Kernel NULL pointer dereference on read at 0x00000588 [26215.051952] Faulting instruction address: 0xc00000000020fac0 [26215.051957] Oops: Kernel access of bad area, sig: 11 [#1] [...] [26215.052049] Call Trace: [26215.052050] [c000000061da6d30] [c00000000020fc10] perf_callchain_user_64+0x2d0/0x490 (unreliable) [26215.052054] [c000000061da6dc0] [c00000000020f92c] perf_callchain_user+0x1c/0x30 [26215.052057] [c000000061da6de0] [c0000000005ab2a0] get_perf_callchain+0x100/0x360 [26215.052063] [c000000061da6e70] [c000000000573bc8] bpf_get_stackid+0x88/0xf0 [26215.052067] [c000000061da6ea0] [c008000000042258] bpf_prog_16d4ab9ab662f669_do_perf_event+0xf8/0x274 [...] In addition, move storing the top-level stack entry to generic perf_callchain_user to make sure the top-evel entry is always captured, even if current->mm is NULL.

powerpc: Include all arch-specific syscall prototypes

2022-09-28T09:22:08Z

Forward declare all syscall handler prototypes where a generic prototype is not provided in either linux/syscalls.h or linux/compat.h in asm/syscalls.h. This is required for compile-time type-checking for syscall handlers, which is implemented later in this series. 32-bit compatibility syscall handlers are expressed in terms of types in ppc32.h. Expose this header globally.

powerpc/vdso: Retrieve sigtramp offsets at buildtime

2020-12-03T14:01:17Z

This is copied from arm64. Instead of using runtime generated signal trampoline offsets, get offsets at buildtime. If the said trampoline doesn't exist, build will fail. So no need to check whether the trampoline exists or not in the VDSO.

powerpc/vdso: Replace vdso_base by vdso

2020-12-03T14:01:16Z

All other architectures but s390 use a void pointer named 'vdso' to reference the VDSO mapping. In a following patch, the VDSO data page will be put in front of text, vdso_base will then not anymore point to VDSO text. To avoid confusion between vdso_base and VDSO text, rename vdso_base into vdso and make it a void __user *.

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

2020-06-09T16:39:13Z

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 >> PMD_SHIFT) & (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 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 in the files that include . The include statements in such cases are remove with a simple loop: for f in $(git grep -l "include ") ; do sed -i -e '/include / d' $f done Signed-off-by: Mike Rapoport Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Cc: Arnd Bergmann Cc: Borislav Petkov Cc: Brian Cain Cc: Catalin Marinas Cc: Chris Zankel Cc: "David S.

powerpc/perf: split callchain.c by bitness

Building callchain.c with !COMPAT proved quite ugly with all the defines. Splitting out the 32bit and 64bit parts looks better. No code change intended.
