kmap_atomic() is deprecated in favour of kmap_local_page(), as described
in Documentation/mm/highmem.rst.
The generic uprobes code and arch_uprobe_copy_ixol() on arm, arm64, mips
and riscv were converted in v7.0, see commit a491c02c2770 ("uprobes: use
kmap_local_page() for temporary page mappings") and the arch patches that
came with it. sparc64 was not part of that series: its
arch_uprobe_copy_ixol() writes the XOL slot through a copy_to_page()
helper, which still uses kmap_atomic().
The mapping only covers a memcpy() of one instruction into the XOL page,
so it needs neither the pagefault_disable() nor the preempt_disable()
implied by kmap_atomic(). Uprobes is only built for sparc64, which has
no HIGHMEM, so kmap_local_page() is just page_address() here and the
only effect is that the copy no longer runs with page faults and
preemption disabled.
Tested under QEMU (sun4u) with CONFIG_PREEMPT, CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT,
lockdep and CONFIG_DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP: a test program put a uprobe and a
uretprobe on one of its own functions, then called it 1000 times in one
child process and 100 times in another. Every call returned the right
value, all 1100 returns went through the uretprobe trampoline, and a
kprobe counted 1102 calls to arch_uprobe_copy_ixol(): one per hit, plus
the trampoline for each of the two XOL areas. No kernel warnings while
it ran.
