      Kconfig: consolidate CONFIG_DEBUG_STRICT_USER_COPY_CHECKS · 446f24d1
      由 Stephen Boyd 提交于 
      The help text for this config is duplicated across the x86, parisc, and
s390 Kconfig.debug files.  Arnd Bergman noted that the help text was
slightly misleading and should be fixed to state that enabling this
option isn't a problem when using pre 4.4 gcc.

To simplify the rewording, consolidate the text into lib/Kconfig.debug
and modify it there to be more explicit about when you should say N to
this config.

Also, make the text a bit more generic by stating that this option
enables compile time checks so we can cover architectures which emit
warnings vs.  ones which emit errors.  The details of how an
architecture decided to implement the checks isn't as important as the
concept of compile time checking of copy_from_user() calls.

While we're doing this, remove all the copy_from_user_overflow() code
that's duplicated many times and place it into lib/ so that any
architecture supporting this option can get the function for free.

      block: optionally snapshot page contents to provide stable pages during write · ffecfd1a
      由 Darrick J. Wong 提交于 
      This provides a band-aid to provide stable page writes on jbd without
needing to backport the fixed locking and page writeback bit handling
schemes of jbd2.  The band-aid works by using bounce buffers to snapshot
page contents instead of waiting.

For those wondering about the ext3 bandage -- fixing the jbd locking
(which was done as part of ext4dev years ago) is a lot of surgery, and
setting PG_writeback on data pages when we actually hold the page lock
dropped ext3 performance by nearly an order of magnitude.  If we're
going to migrate iscsi and raid to use stable page writes, the
complaints about high latency will likely return.  We might as well
centralize their page snapshotting thing to one place.

      tty: Added a CONFIG_TTY option to allow removal of TTY · 4f73bc4d
      由 Joe Millenbach 提交于 
      The option allows you to remove TTY and compile without errors. This
saves space on systems that won't support TTY interfaces anyway.
bloat-o-meter output is below.

The bulk of this patch consists of Kconfig changes adding "depends on
TTY" to various serial devices and similar drivers that require the TTY
layer.  Ideally, these dependencies would occur on a common intermediate
symbol such as SERIO, but most drivers "select SERIO" rather than
"depends on SERIO", and "select" does not respect dependencies.

bloat-o-meter output comparing our previous minimal to new minimal by
removing TTY.  The list is filtered to not show removed entries with awk
'$3 != "-"' as the list was very long.

      Make most arch asm/module.h files use asm-generic/module.h · 786d35d4
      由 David Howells 提交于 
      Use the mapping of Elf_[SPE]hdr, Elf_Addr, Elf_Sym, Elf_Dyn, Elf_Rel/Rela,
ELF_R_TYPE() and ELF_R_SYM() to either the 32-bit version or the 64-bit version
into asm-generic/module.h for all arches bar MIPS.

Also, use the generic definition mod_arch_specific where possible.

To this end, I've defined three new config bools:

 (*) HAVE_MOD_ARCH_SPECIFIC

     Arches define this if they don't want to use the empty generic
     mod_arch_specific struct.

 (*) MODULES_USE_ELF_RELA

     Arches define this if their modules can contain RELA records.  This causes
     the Elf_Rela mapping to be emitted and allows apply_relocate_add() to be
     defined by the arch rather than have the core emit an error message.

 (*) MODULES_USE_ELF_REL

     Arches define this if their modules can contain REL records.  This causes
     the Elf_Rel mapping to be emitted and allows apply_relocate() to be
     defined by the arch rather than have the core emit an error message.

Note that it is possible to allow both REL and RELA records: m68k and mips are
two arches that do this.

With this, some arch asm/module.h files can be deleted entirely and replaced
with a generic-y marker in the arch Kbuild file.

Additionally, I have removed the bits from m32r and score that handle the
unsupported type of relocation record as that's now handled centrally.

      arch/tile: introduce GXIO IORPC framework for tilegx · 37b82b5d
      由 Chris Metcalf 提交于 
      The GXIO I/O RPC subsystem handles exporting I/O hardware resources to
Linux and to applications running under Linux.

For instance, memory which is made available for I/O DMA must be mapped
by an I/O TLB; that means that such memory must be locked down by Linux,
so that it is not swapped or otherwise reused, as long as those I/O
TLB entries are active. Similarly, configuring direct hardware access
introduces new validation requirements. If a user application registers
memory, Linux must ensure that the supplied virtual addresses are valid,
and turn them into client physical addresses. Similarly, when Linux then
supplies those client physical addresses to the Tilera hypervisor, it
must in turn validate those before turning them into the real physical
addresses which are required by the hardware.

To the extent that these sorts of activities were required on previous
TILE architecture processors, they were implemented in a device-specific
fashion. This meant that every I/O device had its own Tilera hypervisor
driver, its own Linux driver, and in some cases its own user-level
library support. There was a large amount of more-or-less functionally
identical code in different places, particularly in the different Linux
drivers. For TILE-Gx, this support has been generalized into a common
framework, known as the I/O RPC framework or just IORPC.

The two "gxio" directories (one for headers, one for sources) start
with just a few files in each with this infrastructure commit, but
after adding support for the on-board I/O shims for networking, PCI,
USB, crypto, compression, I2CS, etc., there end up being about 20 files
in each directory.

More information on the IORPC framework is in the <hv/iorpc.h> header,
included in this commit.

      arch/tile: support multiple huge page sizes dynamically · 621b1955
      由 Chris Metcalf 提交于 
      This change adds support for a new "super" bit in the PTE, using the new
arch_make_huge_pte() method.  The Tilera hypervisor sees the bit set at a
given level of the page table and gangs together 4, 16, or 64 consecutive
pages from that level of the hierarchy to create a larger TLB entry.

One extra "super" page size can be specified at each of the three levels
of the page table hierarchy on tilegx, using the "hugepagesz" argument
on the boot command line.  A new hypervisor API is added to allow Linux
to tell the hypervisor how many PTEs to gang together at each level of
the page table.

To allow pre-allocating huge pages larger than the buddy allocator can
handle, this change modifies the Tilera bootmem support to put all of
memory on tilegx platforms into bootmem.

As part of this change I eliminate the vestigial CONFIG_HIGHPTE support,
which never worked anyway, and eliminate the hv_page_size() API in favor
of the standard vma_kernel_pagesize() API.

      arch/tile: Allow tilegx to build with either 16K or 64K page size · d5d14ed6
      由 Chris Metcalf 提交于 
      This change introduces new flags for the hv_install_context()
API that passes a page table pointer to the hypervisor.  Clients
can explicitly request 4K, 16K, or 64K small pages when they
install a new context.  In practice, the page size is fixed at
kernel compile time and the same size is always requested every
time a new page table is installed.

The <hv/hypervisor.h> header changes so that it provides more abstract
macros for managing "page" things like PFNs and page tables.  For
example there is now a HV_DEFAULT_PAGE_SIZE_SMALL instead of the old
HV_PAGE_SIZE_SMALL.  The various PFN routines have been eliminated and
only PA- or PTFN-based ones remain (since PTFNs are always expressed
in fixed 2KB "page" size).  The page-table management macros are
renamed with a leading underscore and take page-size arguments with
the presumption that clients will use those macros in some single
place to provide the "real" macros they will use themselves.

I happened to notice the old hv_set_caching() API was totally broken
(it assumed 4KB pages) so I changed it so it would nominally work
correctly with other page sizes.

Tag modules with the page size so you can't load a module built with
a conflicting page size.  (And add a test for SMP while we're at it.)

      timers: Fixup the Kconfig consolidation fallout · 764e0da1
      由 Thomas Gleixner 提交于 
      Sigh, I missed to check which architecture Kconfig files actually
include the core Kconfig file. There are a few which did not. So we
broke them.

Instead of adding the includes to those, we are better off to move the
include to init/Kconfig like we did already with irqs and others.

This does not change anything for the architectures using the old
style periodic timer mode. It just solves the build wreckage there.

For those architectures which use the clock events infrastructure it
moves the include of the core Kconfig file to "General setup" which is
a way more logical place than having it at random locations specified
by the architecture specific Kconfigs.

      tilegx: enable SYSCALL_WRAPPERS support · e6d9668e
      由 Chris Metcalf 提交于 
      Some discussion with the glibc mailing lists revealed that this was
necessary for 64-bit platforms with MIPS-like sign-extension rules
for 32-bit values.  The original symptom was that passing (uid_t)-1 to
setreuid() was failing in programs linked -pthread because of the "setxid"
mechanism for passing setxid-type function arguments to the syscall code.
SYSCALL_WRAPPERS handles ensuring that all syscall arguments end up with
proper sign-extension and is thus the appropriate fix for this problem.

On other platforms (s390, powerpc, sparc64, and mips) this was fixed
in 2.6.28.6.  The general issue is tracked as CVE-2009-0029.
