Anatoly reports that since commit:
ff5b4f1ed580c59d ("locking/atomic: sparc: move to ARCH_ATOMIC")
... it's possible to reliably trigger an oops by running:
stress-ng -v --mmap 1 -t 30s
... which results in a NULL pointer dereference in
__split_huge_pmd_locked().
The underlying problem is that commit
ff5b4f1ed580c59d left
arch_cmpxchg64_local() defined in terms of cmpxchg_local() rather than
arch_cmpxchg_local(). In <asm-generic/atomic-instrumented.h> we wrap
these with macros which use identically-named variables. When
cmpxchg_local() nests inside cmpxchg64_local(), this casues it to use an
unitialized variable as the pointer, which can be NULL.
This can also be seen in pmdp_establish(), where the compiler can
generate the pointer with a `clr` instruction:
0000000000000360 <pmdp_establish>:
360: 9d e3 bf 50 save %sp, -176, %sp

39c: 01 00 00 00 nop
This patch fixes the problem by defining arch_cmpxchg64_local() in terms
of arch_cmpxchg_local(), avoiding potential shadowing, and resulting in
working cmpxchg64_local() and variants, e.g.
0000000000000360 <pmdp_establish>:
360: 9d e3 bf 50 save %sp, -176, %sp
364: fa 5e 80 00 ldx [ %i2 ], %i5
368: 82 10 00 1b mov %i3, %g1
36c: c3 f6 90 1d casx [ %i2 ], %i5, %g1
370: 80 a7 40 01 cmp %i5, %g1
374: 32 6f ff fd bne,a %xcc, 368 <pmdp_establish+0x8>
378: fa 5e 80 00 ldx [ %i2 ], %i5
37c: d0 5e 20 40 ldx [ %i0 + 0x40 ], %o0
380: 96 10 00 1b mov %i3, %o3
384: 94 10 00 1d mov %i5, %o2
388: 92 10 00 19 mov %i1, %o1
38c: 7f ff ff 85 call 1a0 <__set_pmd_acct>
390: b0 10 00 1d mov %i5, %i0
394: 81 cf e0 08 return %i7 + 8
398: 01 00 00 00 nop
39c: 01 00 00 00 nop
