If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior [ Upstream commit 247074c44d8c3e619dfde6404a52295d8d671d38 ] I'm dropping this patch, with its original description: |ARM: Initialize split page table locks for vector page | |Without this patch, ARM can not use SPLIT_PTLOCK_CPUS if |PREEMPT_RT_FULL=y because vectors_user_mapping() creates a |VM_ALWAYSDUMP mapping of the vector page (address 0xffff0000), but no |ptl->lock has been allocated for the page. An attempt to coredump |that page will result in a kernel NULL pointer dereference when |follow_page() attempts to lock the page. | |The call tree to the NULL pointer dereference is: | | do_notify_resume() | get_signal_to_deliver() | do_coredump() | elf_core_dump() | get_dump_page() | __get_user_pages() | follow_page() | pte_offset_map_lock() <----- a #define | ... | rt_spin_lock() | |The underlying problem is exposed by mm-shrink-the-page-frame-to-rt-size.patch. The patch named mm-shrink-the-page-frame-to-rt-size.patch was dropped from the RT queue once the SPLIT_PTLOCK_CPUS feature (in a slightly different shape) went upstream (somewhere between v3.12 and v3.14). I can see that the patch still allocates a lock which wasn't there before. However I can't trigger a kernel oops like described in the patch by triggering a coredump.
