      ARM: Fix pfn_valid() for sparse memory · b7cfda9f
      Russell King 提交于
      On OMAP platforms, some people want to declare to segment up the memory
      between the kernel and a separate application such that there is a hole
      in the middle of the memory as far as Linux is concerned.  However,
      they want to be able to mmap() the hole.
      
      This currently causes problems, because update_mmu_cache() thinks that
      there are valid struct pages for the "hole".  Fix this by making
      pfn_valid() slightly more expensive, by checking whether the PFN is
      contained within the meminfo array.

      ARM: 5677/1: ARM support for TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK/pselect6/ppoll/epoll_pwait · 36984265
      Mikael Pettersson 提交于
      This patch adds support for TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK to ARM's
      signal handling, which allows to hook up the pselect6, ppoll,
      and epoll_pwait syscalls on ARM.
      
      Tested here with eabi userspace and a test program with a
      deliberate race between a child's exit and the parent's
      sigprocmask/select sequence. Using sys_pselect6() instead
      of sigprocmask/select reliably prevents the race.
      
      The other arch's support for TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK has evolved
      over time:
      
      In 2.6.16:
      - add TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK which parallels TIF_SIGPENDING
      - test both when checking for pending signal [changed later]
      - reimplement sys_sigsuspend() to use current->saved_sigmask,
        TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK [changed later], and -ERESTARTNOHAND;
        ditto for sys_rt_sigsuspend(), but drop private code and
        use common code via __ARCH_WANT_SYS_RT_SIGSUSPEND;
      - there are now no "extra" calls to do_signal() so its oldset
        parameter is always &current->blocked so need not be passed,
        also its return value is changed to void
      - change handle_signal() to return 0/-errno
      - change do_signal() to honor TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK:
        + get oldset from current->saved_sigmask if TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK
          is set
        + if handle_signal() was successful then clear TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK
        + if no signal was delivered and TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK is set then
          clear it and restore the sigmask
      - hook up sys_pselect6() and sys_ppoll()
      
      In 2.6.19:
      - hook up sys_epoll_pwait()
      
      In 2.6.26:
      - allow archs to override how TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK is implemented;
        default set_restore_sigmask() sets both TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK and
        TIF_SIGPENDING; archs need now just test TIF_SIGPENDING again
        when checking for pending signal work; some archs now implement
        TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK as a secondary/non-atomic thread flag bit
      - call set_restore_sigmask() in sys_sigsuspend() instead of setting
        TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK
      
      In 2.6.29-rc:
      - kill sys_pselect7() which no arch wanted
      
      So for 2.6.31-rc6/ARM this patch does the following:
      - Add TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK. Use the generic set_restore_sigmask()
        which sets both TIF_SIGPENDING and TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK, so
        TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK need not claim one of the scarce low thread
        flags, and existing TIF_SIGPENDING and _TIF_WORK_MASK tests need
        not be extended for TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK.
      - sys_sigsuspend() is reimplemented to use current->saved_sigmask
        and set_restore_sigmask(), making it identical to most other archs
      - The private code for sys_rt_sigsuspend() is removed, instead
        generic code supplies it via __ARCH_WANT_SYS_RT_SIGSUSPEND.
      - sys_sigsuspend() and sys_rt_sigsuspend() no longer need a pt_regs
        parameter, so their assembly code wrappers are removed.
      - handle_signal() is changed to return 0 on success or -errno.
      - The oldset parameter to do_signal() is now redundant and removed,
        and the return value is now also redundant and changed to void.
      - do_signal() is changed to honor TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK:
        + get oldset from current->saved_sigmask if TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK
          is set
        + if handle_signal() was successful then clear TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK
        + if no signal was delivered and TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK is set then
          clear it and restore the sigmask
      - Hook up sys_pselect6, sys_ppoll, and sys_epoll_pwait.

      ARM: Fix broken highmem support · dde5828f
      Russell King 提交于
      Currently, highmem is selectable, and you can request an increased
      vmalloc area.  However, none of this has any effect on the memory
      layout since a patch in the highmem series was accidentally dropped.
      Moreover, even if you did want highmem, all memory would still be
      registered as lowmem, possibly resulting in overflow of the available
      virtual mapping space.
      
      The highmem boundary is determined by the highest allowed beginning
      of the vmalloc area, which depends on its configurable minimum size
      (see commit 60296c71 for details on
      this).
      
      We should create mappings and initialize bootmem only for low memory,
      while the zone allocator must still be told about highmem.
      
      Currently, memory nodes which are completely located in high memory
      are not supported.  This is not a huge limitation since systems
      relying on highmem support are unlikely to have discontiguous memory
      with large holes.
      
      [ A similar patch was meant to be merged before commit 5f0fbf9e
        and be available  in Linux v2.6.30, however some git rebase screw-up
        of mine dropped the first commit of the series, and that goofage
        escaped testing somehow as well. -- Nico ]

      Jan Engelhardt 提交于
      This sockopt goes in line with SO_TYPE and SO_PROTOCOL. It makes it
      possible for userspace programs to pass around file descriptors — I
      am referring to arguments-to-functions, but it may even work for the
      fd passing over UNIX sockets — without needing to also pass the
      auxiliary information (PF_INET6/IPPROTO_TCP).

      net: implement a SO_PROTOCOL getsockoption · 49c794e9
      Jan Engelhardt 提交于
      Similar to SO_TYPE returning the socket type, SO_PROTOCOL allows to
      retrieve the protocol used with a given socket.
      
      I am not quite sure why we have that-many copies of socket.h, and why
      the values are not the same on all arches either, but for where hex
      numbers dominate, I use 0x1029 for SO_PROTOCOL as that seems to be
      the next free unused number across a bunch of operating systems, or
      so Google results make me want to believe. SO_PROTOCOL for others
      just uses the next free Linux number, 38.

      mm: Pass virtual address to [__]p{te,ud,md}_free_tlb() · 9e1b32ca
      Benjamin Herrenschmidt 提交于
      mm: Pass virtual address to [__]p{te,ud,md}_free_tlb()
      
      Upcoming paches to support the new 64-bit "BookE" powerpc architecture
      will need to have the virtual address corresponding to PTE page when
      freeing it, due to the way the HW table walker works.
      
      Basically, the TLB can be loaded with "large" pages that cover the whole
      virtual space (well, sort-of, half of it actually) represented by a PTE
      page, and which contain an "indirect" bit indicating that this TLB entry
      RPN points to an array of PTEs from which the TLB can then create direct
      entries. Thus, in order to invalidate those when PTE pages are deleted,
      we need the virtual address to pass to tlbilx or tlbivax instructions.
      
      The old trick of sticking it somewhere in the PTE page struct page sucks
      too much, the address is almost readily available in all call sites and
      almost everybody implemets these as macros, so we may as well add the
      argument everywhere. I added it to the pmd and pud variants for consistency.

      [ARM] 5613/1: implement CALLER_ADDRESSx · 4bf1fa5a
      Uwe Kleine-König 提交于
      From: Uwe Kleine-König <u.kleine-koenig@pengutronix.de>
      
      As __builtin_return_address(n) doesn't work for ARM with n > 0, the
      kernel needs its own implementation.
      
      This fixes many warnings saying:
      
      	warning: unsupported argument to '__builtin_return_address'
      
      The new methods and walk_stackframe must not be instrumented because
      CALLER_ADDRESSx is used in the various tracers and tracing the tracer is
      a bad idea.
      
      What's currently missing is an implementation using unwind tables.  This
      is not fatal though, it's just that the tracers don't get enough
      information to be really useful.
      
      Note that if both ARM_UNWIND and FRAME_POINTER are enabled,
      walk_stackframe uses unwind information.  So in this case the same
      implementation is used as when FRAME_POINTER is disabled.
