FWIW, after going through everything from alpha to loongarch (in alphabetic
order, skipping the itanic) the following seems to be suitable for all of
them:
generic_fault(address, flags, vm_flags, regs)
{
struct mm_struct *mm = current->mm;
struct vm_area_struct *vma;
vm_fault_t fault;
perf_sw_event(PERF_COUNT_SW_PAGE_FAULTS, 1, regs, address);
if (unlikely(!mmap_read_trylock(mm))) {
if (!(flags & FAULT_FLAG_USER) &&
!search_exception_tables(instruction_pointer(regs))) {
/*
* Fault from code in kernel from
* which we do not expect faults.
*/
return KERN;
}
retry:
mmap_read_lock(mm);
} else {
might_sleep();
#ifdef CONFIG_DEBUG_VM
if (!(flags & FAULT_FLAG_USER) &&
!search_exception_tables(instruction_pointer(regs)))
return KERN;
#endif
}
vma = find_vma(mm, address);
if (!vma)
goto Eunmapped;
if (unlikely(vma->vm_start > address)) {
if (!(vma->vm_flags & VM_GROWSDOWN))
goto Eunmapped;
if (addr < FIRST_USER_ADDRESS)
goto Eunmapped;
if (expand_stack(vma, address))
goto Eunmapped;
}
/* Ok, we have a good vm_area for this memory access, so
we can handle it. */
if (!(vma->vm_flags & vm_flags))
goto Eaccess;
/* If for any reason at all we couldn't handle the fault,
make sure we exit gracefully rather than endlessly redo
the fault. */
fault = handle_mm_fault(vma, address, flags, regs);
if (unlikely(fault & VM_FAULT_RETRY)) {
if (!(flags & FAULT_FLAG_USER)) {
if (fatal_signal_pending(current))
return KERN;
} else {
if (signal_pending(current))
return FOAD;
}
flags |= FAULT_FLAG_TRIED;
goto retry;
}
if (fault & VM_FAULT_COMPLETED)
return DONE;
mmap_read_unlock(mm);
if (likely(!(fault & VM_FAULT_ERROR)))
return DONE;
if (!(flags & FAULT_FLAG_USER))
return KERN;
if (fault & VM_FAULT_OOM) {
pagefault_out_of_memory();
return FOAD;
}
if (fault & VM_FAULT_SIGSEGV)
return SIGSEGV;
if (fault & VM_FAULT_SIGBUS)
return SIGBUS;
if (fault & VM_FAULT_HWPOISON)
return POISON + PAGE_SHIFT; // POISON == 256
if (fault & VM_FAULT_HWPOISON_LARGE)
return POISON + hstate_index_to_shift(VM_FAULT_GET_HINDEX(fault));
BUG();
Eunmapped:
mmap_read_unlock(mm);
return flags & FAULT_FLAG_USER ? MAPERR : KERN;
Eaccess:
mmap_read_unlock(mm);
return flags & FAULT_FLAG_USER ? ACCERR : KERN;
}
possible return values (and that's obviously not the identifiers to be
used for real; for now I'm just looking for feasibility of it all):
DONE success, nothing else to be done
FOAD OOM/fatal signal with VM_FAULT_RETRY/
signal with VM_FAULT_RETRY from userland - nothing
to be done here.
KERN kernel mode failed fault, fixup or oops
MAPERR unmapped address, SIGSEGV/SEGV_MAPERR for you
ACCERR nothing in vm_flags present in ->vm_flags of vma;
SIGSEGV/SEGV_ACCERR
SIGSEGV VM_FAULT_SIGSEGV; some architectures treat that
as SEGV_MAPERR, some as SEGV_ACCERR.
SIGBUS VM_FAULT_SIGBUS; SIGBUS/BUS_ADRERR
POISON + shift VM_FAULT_HWPOISON and VM_FAULT_HWPOISON_LARGE, with
log2(affected page size) encoded into return value.
This is obviously not even close to final helper, but... alpha, arc, arm, arm64,
csky, hexagon, loongarch convert to that cleanly.
Itanic very much does not (due to weird dual stacks, awful address space layout,
etc.), but then git rm arch/ia64 is long overdue.
Fairly typical look after conversion:
arc:

struct task_struct *tsk = current;
struct mm_struct *mm = tsk->mm;
unsigned int mask;
unsigned int flags;
unsigned int res;
/*
* NOTE! We MUST NOT take any locks for this case. We may
* be in an interrupt or a critical region, and should
* only copy the information from the master page table,
* nothing more.
*/
if (address >= VMALLOC_START && !user_mode(regs)) {
if (unlikely(handle_kernel_vaddr_fault(address)))
goto no_context;
else
return;
}
/*
* If we're in an interrupt or have no user
* context, we must not take the fault..
*/
if (faulthandler_disabled() || !mm)
goto no_context;
flags = FAULT_FLAG_DEFAULT;
if (user_mode(regs))
flags |= FAULT_FLAG_USER;
mask = VM_READ;
if (regs->ecr_cause & ECR_C_PROTV_STORE) { /* ST/EX */
flags |= FAULT_FLAG_WRITE;
mask = VM_WRITE;
} else if ((regs->ecr_vec == ECR_V_PROTV) &&
(regs->ecr_cause == ECR_C_PROTV_INST_FETCH)) {
mask = VM_EXEC;
}
res = generic_fault(address, flags, mask, regs);
if (likely(res == DONE))
return;
if (res == FOAD)
return;
if (res == KERN) {
no_context:
if (fixup_exception(regs))
return;
die("Oops", regs, address);
}
tsk->thread.fault_address = address;

force_sig_fault(SIGSEGV, res == ACCERR ? SEGV_ACCERR : SEGV_MAPERR,
