      vfs: define struct filename and have getname() return it · 91a27b2a
      Jeff Layton 提交于
      getname() is intended to copy pathname strings from userspace into a
      kernel buffer. The result is just a string in kernel space. It would
      however be quite helpful to be able to attach some ancillary info to
      the string.
      
      For instance, we could attach some audit-related info to reduce the
      amount of audit-related processing needed. When auditing is enabled,
      we could also call getname() on the string more than once and not
      need to recopy it from userspace.
      
      This patchset converts the getname()/putname() interfaces to return
      a struct instead of a string. For now, the struct just tracks the
      string in kernel space and the original userland pointer for it.
      
      Later, we'll add other information to the struct as it becomes
      convenient.

      compat: move compat_siginfo_t definition to asm/compat.h · 751f409d
      Denys Vlasenko 提交于
      This is a preparatory patch for the introduction of NT_SIGINFO elf note.
      
      Make the location of compat_siginfo_t uniform across eight architectures
      which have it.  Now it can be pulled in by including asm/compat.h or
      linux/compat.h.
      
      Most of the copies are verbatim.  compat_uid[32]_t had to be replaced by
      __compat_uid[32]_t.  compat_uptr_t had to be moved up before
      compat_siginfo_t in asm/compat.h on a several architectures (tile already
      had it moved up).  compat_sigval_t had to be relocated from linux/compat.h
      to asm/compat.h.

      arch/tile: fix hardwall for tilegx and generalize for idn and ipi · b8ace083
      Chris Metcalf 提交于
      The hardwall drain code was not properly implemented for tilegx,
      just tilepro, so you couldn't reliably restart an application that
      made use of the udn.
      
      In addition, the code was only applicable to the udn (user dynamic
      network).  On tilegx there is a second user network that is available
      (the "idn"), and there is support for having I/O shims deliver
      user-level interrupts to applications ("ipi") which functions in a
      very similar way to the inter-core permissions used for udn/idn.
      So this change also generalizes the code from supporting just the udn
      to supports udn/idn/ipi on tilegx.
      
      By default we now use /dev/hardwall/{udn,idn,ipi} with separate
      minor numbers for the three devices.

      arch/tile: support multiple huge page sizes dynamically · 621b1955
      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
      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.)

      arch/tile: optimize get_user/put_user and friends · 47d632f9
      Chris Metcalf 提交于
      Use direct load/store for the get_user/put_user.
      
      Previously, we would call out to a helper routine that would do the
      appropriate thing and then return, handling the possible exception
      internally.  Now we inline the load or store, along with a "we succeeded"
      indication in a register; if the load or store faults, we write a
      "we failed" indication into the same register and then return to the
      following instruction.  This is more efficient and gives us more compact
      code, as well as being more in line with what other architectures do.
      
      The special futex assembly source file for TILE-Gx also disappears in
      this change; we just use the same inlining idiom there as well, putting
      the appropriate atomic operations directly into futex_atomic_op_inuser()
      (and thus into the FUTEX_WAIT function).
      
      The underlying atomic copy_from_user, copy_to_user functions were
      renamed using the (cryptic) x86 convention as copy_from_user_ll and
      copy_to_user_ll.

      arch/tile: use interrupt critical sections less · 51007004
      Chris Metcalf 提交于
      In general we want to avoid ever touching memory while within an
      interrupt critical section, since the page fault path goes through
      a different path from the hypervisor when in an interrupt critical
      section, and we carefully decided with tilegx that we didn't need
      to support this path in the kernel.  (On tilepro we did implement
      that path as part of supporting atomic instructions in software.)
      
      In practice we always need to touch the kernel stack, since that's
      where we store the interrupt state before releasing the critical
      section, but this change cleans up a few things.  The IRQ_ENABLE
      macro is split up so that when we want to enable interrupts in a
      deferred way (e.g. for cpu_idle or for interrupt return) we can
      read the per-cpu enable mask before entering the critical section.
      The cache-migration code is changed to use interrupt masking instead
      of interrupt critical sections.  And, the interrupt-entry code is
      changed so that we defer loading "tp" from per-cpu data until after
      we have released the interrupt critical section.
