Linux kernel source tree

On hardware with features like arm64 MTE or SPARC ADI, an access fault can be triggered at sub-page granularity. Depending on how the fault_in_writeable() function is used, the caller can get into a live-lock by continuously retrying the fault-in on an address different from the one where the uaccess failed. In the majority of cases progress is ensured by the following conditions: 1. copy_to_user_nofault() guarantees at least one byte access if the user address is not faulting. 2. The fault_in_writeable() loop is resumed from the first address that could not be accessed by copy_to_user_nofault(). If the loop iteration is restarted from an earlier (initial) point, the loop is repeated with the same conditions and it would live-lock. Introduce an arch-specific probe_subpage_writeable() and call it from the newly added fault_in_subpage_writeable() function. The arch code with sub-page faults will have to implement the specific probing functionality. Note that no other fault_in_subpage_*() functions are added since they have no callers currently susceptible to a live-lock.

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.
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.
