[ Upstream commit71f8af1110] Tomas Paukrt reports that his SAM9X60 based system (ARM926, ARMv5TJ) fails to fix up alignment faults, eventually resulting in a kernel oops. The problem occurs when using CONFIG_CPU_USE_DOMAINS with commite6978e4bf1("ARM: save and reset the address limit when entering an exception"). This is because the address limit is set back to TASK_SIZE on exception entry, and, although it is restored on exception exit, the domain register is not. Hence, this sequence can occur: interrupt pt_regs->addr_limit = addr_limit // USER_DS addr_limit = USER_DS alignment exception __probe_kernel_read() old_fs = get_fs() // USER_DS set_fs(KERNEL_DS) addr_limit = KERNEL_DS dacr.kernel = DOMAIN_MANAGER interrupt pt_regs->addr_limit = addr_limit // KERNEL_DS addr_limit = USER_DS alignment exception __probe_kernel_read() old_fs = get_fs() // USER_DS set_fs(KERNEL_DS) addr_limit = KERNEL_DS dacr.kernel = DOMAIN_MANAGER ... set_fs(old_fs) addr_limit = USER_DS dacr.kernel = DOMAIN_CLIENT ... addr_limit = pt_regs->addr_limit // KERNEL_DS interrupt returns At this point, addr_limit is correctly restored to KERNEL_DS for __probe_kernel_read() to continue execution, but dacr.kernel is not, it has been reset by the set_fs(old_fs) to DOMAIN_CLIENT. This would not have happened prior to the mentioned commit, because addr_limit would remain KERNEL_DS, so get_fs() would have returned KERNEL_DS, and so would correctly nest. This commit fixes the problem by also saving the DACR on exception entry if either CONFIG_CPU_SW_DOMAIN_PAN or CONFIG_CPU_USE_DOMAINS are enabled, and resetting the DACR appropriately on exception entry to match addr_limit and PAN settings.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
