Merge tag 'pull-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs
Pull VM_FAULT_RETRY fixes from Al Viro: "Some of the page fault handlers do not deal with the following case correctly: - handle_mm_fault() has returned VM_FAULT_RETRY - there is a pending fatal signal - fault had happened in kernel mode Correct action in such case is not "return unconditionally" - fatal signals are handled only upon return to userland and something like copy_to_user() would end up retrying the faulting instruction and triggering the same fault again and again. What we need to do in such case is to make the caller to treat that as failed uaccess attempt - handle exception if there is an exception handler for faulting instruction or oops if there isn't one. Over the years some architectures had been fixed and now are handling that case properly; some still do not. This series should fix the remaining ones. Status: - m68k, riscv, hexagon, parisc: tested/acked by maintainers. - alpha, sparc32, sparc64: tested locally - bug has been reproduced on the unpatched kernel and verified to be fixed by this series. - ia64, microblaze, nios2, openrisc: build, but otherwise completely untested" * tag 'pull-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs: openrisc: fix livelock in uaccess nios2: fix livelock in uaccess microblaze: fix livelock in uaccess ia64: fix livelock in uaccess sparc: fix livelock in uaccess alpha: fix livelock in uaccess parisc: fix livelock in uaccess hexagon: fix livelock in uaccess riscv: fix livelock in uaccess m68k: fix livelock in uaccess
