arch/mips/mm/cache.c provides our implementation of the cpu_cache_init() function, but doesn't include the asm/setup.h header which declares it. This leads to a warning from sparse: arch/mips/mm/cache.c:274:6: warning: symbol 'cpu_cache_init' was not declared. Should it be static? Fix this by including asm/setup.h to get the declaration of cpu_cache_init().

Cache management is implemented separately for Cavium Octeon CPUs, so r4k_blast_[id]cache aren't available. Instead for Octeon perform a local icache flush using local_flush_icache_range(), and for other platforms which don't use c-r4k.c use __flush_cache_all() / flush_icache_all().

Historically a lot of these existed because we did not have a distinction between what was modular code and what was providing support to modules via EXPORT_SYMBOL and friends. That changed when we forked out support for the latter into the export.h file. This means we should be able to reduce the usage of module.h in code that is obj-y Makefile or bool Kconfig. The advantage in doing so is that module.h itself sources about 15 other headers; adding significantly to what we feed cpp, and it can obscure what headers we are effectively using. Since module.h was the source for init.h (for __init) and for export.h (for EXPORT_SYMBOL) we consider each obj-y/bool instance for the presence of either and replace as needed.

The cacheflush(2) system call uses flush_icache_range() to flush a range of usermode addresses from the icache, so change it to utilise the new __flush_icache_user_range() API to allow the more generic flush_icache_range() to be changed to work on kernel addresses only.

flush_icache_range() is used for both user addresses (i.e. cacheflush(2)), and kernel addresses (as the API documentation describes). This isn't really suitable however for Enhanced Virtual Addressing (EVA) where cache operations on usermode addresses must use a different instruction, and the protected cache ops assume user addresses, making flush_icache_range() ineffective on kernel addresses. Split out a new __flush_icache_user_range() and __local_flush_icache_user_range() for users which actually want to flush usermode addresses (note that flush_icache_user_range() already exists on various architectures but with different arguments). The implementation of flush_icache_range() will be changed in an upcoming commit to use unprotected normal cache ops so as to always work on the kernel mode address space.

It's possible for pages to become visible prior to update_mmu_cache running if a thread within the same address space preempts the current thread or runs simultaneously on another CPU. That is, the following scenario is possible: CPU0 CPU1 write to page flush_dcache_page flush_icache_page set_pte_at map page update_mmu_cache If CPU1 maps the page in between CPU0's set_pte_at, which marks it valid & visible, and update_mmu_cache where the dcache flush occurs then CPU1s icache will fill from stale data (unless it fills from the dcache, in which case all is good, but most MIPS CPUs don't have this property). Commit 4d46a67a ("MIPS: Fix race condition in lazy cache flushing.") attempted to fix that by performing the dcache flush in flush_icache_page such that it occurs before the set_pte_at call makes the page visible. However it has the problem that not all code that writes to pages exposed to userland call flush_icache_page. There are many callers of set_pte_at under mm/ and only 2 of them do call flush_icache_page. Thus the race window between a page becoming visible & being coherent between the icache & dcache remains open in some cases. To illustrate some of the cases, a WARN was added to __update_cache with this patch applied that triggered in cases where a page about to be flushed from the dcache was not the last page provided to flush_icache_page. That is, backtraces were obtained for cases in which the race window is left open without this patch. The 2 standout examples follow. When forking a process: [ 15.271842] [<80417630>] __update_cache+0xcc/0x188 [ 15.277274] [<80530394>] copy_page_range+0x56c/0x6ac [ 15.282861] [<8042936c>] copy_process.part.54+0xd40/0x17ac [ 15.289028] [<80429f80>] do_fork+0xe4/0x420 [ 15.293747] [<80413808>] handle_sys+0x128/0x14c When exec'ing an ELF binary: [ 14.445964] [<80417630>] __update_cache+0xcc/0x188 [ 14.451369] [<80538d88>] move_page_tables+0x414/0x498 [ 14.457075] [<8055d848>] setup_arg_pages+0x220/0x318 [ 14.462685] [<805b0f38>] load_elf_binary+0x530/0x12a0 [ 14.468374] [<8055ec3c>] search_binary_handler+0xbc/0x214 [ 14.474444] [<8055f6c0>] do_execveat_common+0x43c/0x67c [ 14.480324] [<8055f938>] do_execve+0x38/0x44 [ 14.485137] [<80413808>] handle_sys+0x128/0x14c These code paths write into a page, call flush_dcache_page then call set_pte_at without flush_icache_page inbetween. The end result is that the icache can become corrupted & userland processes may execute unexpected or invalid code, typically resulting in a reserved instruction exception, a trap or a segfault. Fix this race condition fully by performing any cache maintenance required to keep the icache & dcache in sync in set_pte_at, before the page is made valid. This has the added bonus of ensuring the cache maintenance always happens in one location, rather than being duplicated in flush_icache_page & update_mmu_cache. It also matches the way other architectures solve the same problem (see arm, ia64 & powerpc).

The following patch will expose __update_cache to highmem pages. Handle them by mapping them in for the duration of the cache maintenance, just like in __flush_dcache_page.

When flush_dcache_page is called on an executable page, that page is about to be provided to userland & we can presume that the icache contains no valid entries for its address range. However if the icache does not fill from the dcache then we cannot presume that the pages content has been written back as far as the memories that the dcache will fill from (ie. L2 or further out). This was being done for lowmem pages, but not for highmem which can lead to icache corruption. Fix this by mapping highmem pages & flushing their content from the dcache in __flush_dcache_page before providing the page to userland, just as is done for lowmem pages.

Let's define page_mapped() to be true for compound pages if any sub-pages of the compound page is mapped (with PMD or PTE). On other hand page_mapcount() return mapcount for this particular small page. This will make cases like page_get_anon_vma() behave correctly once we allow huge pages to be mapped with PTE. Most users outside core-mm should use page_mapcount() instead of page_mapped(). Signed-off-by: NKirill A.

Execution of break instruction, trap instructions, emulation of unaligned loads or floating point instructions - anything that tries to read the instruction's opcode from userspace - needs read access to a page. RIXI (Read Inhibit / Execute Inhibit) support however allows the creation of pags that are executable but not readable. On such a mapping the attempted load of the opcode by the kernel is going to cause an endless loop of page faults. The quick workaround for this is to disable the combinations that the kernel currently isn't able to handle which are executable mappings. Signed-off-by: NRalf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org>

The lazy cache flushing implemented in the MIPS kernel suffers from a race condition that is exposed by do_set_pte() in mm/memory.c. A pre-condition is a file-system that writes to the page from the CPU in its readpage method and then calls flush_dcache_page(). One example is ubifs. Another pre-condition is that the dcache flush is postponed in __flush_dcache_page(). Upon a page fault for an executable mapping not existing in the page-cache, the following will happen: 1. Write to the page 2. flush_dcache_page 3. flush_icache_page 4. set_pte_at 5. update_mmu_cache (commits the flush of a dcache-dirty page) Between steps 4 and 5 another thread can hit the same page and it will encounter a valid pte. Because the data still is in the L1 dcache the CPU will fetch stale data from L2 into the icache and execute garbage. This fix moves the commit of the cache flush to step 3 to close the race window. It also reduces the amount of flushes on non-executable mappings because we never enter __flush_dcache_page() for non-aliasing CPUs. Regressions can occur in drivers that mistakenly relies on the flush_dcache_page() in get_user_pages() for DMA operations.

Multicore MIPSes without I/D hardware coherency suffered from a race condition in the page fault handler. The page table entry was published before any pending lazy D-cache flush was committed, hence it allowed execution of stale page cache data by other VPEs in the system. To make the cache handling safe we need to perform flushing already in the set_pte_at function. MIPSes without coherent I-caches can get a small increase in flushes due to the unavailability of the execute flag in set_pte_at.

commit 3747069b25e419f6b51395f48127e9812abc3596 upstream. The __cpuinit type of throwaway sections might have made sense some time ago when RAM was more constrained, but now the savings do not offset the cost and complications. For example, the fix in commit 5e427ec2 ("x86: Fix bit corruption at CPU resume time") is a good example of the nasty type of bugs that can be created with improper use of the various __init prefixes. After a discussion on LKML[1] it was decided that cpuinit should go the way of devinit and be phased out. Once all the users are gone, we can then finally remove the macros themselves from linux/init.h. Note that some harmless section mismatch warnings may result, since notify_cpu_starting() and cpu_up() are arch independent (kernel/cpu.c) and are flagged as __cpuinit -- so if we remove the __cpuinit from the arch specific callers, we will also get section mismatch warnings. As an intermediate step, we intend to turn the linux/init.h cpuinit related content into no-ops as early as possible, since that will get rid of these warnings. In any case, they are temporary and harmless. Here, we remove all the MIPS __cpuinit from C code and __CPUINIT from asm files. MIPS is interesting in this respect, because there are also uasm users hiding behind their own renamed versions of the __cpuinit macros.

Commit b3594a089f1c17ff919f8f78505c3f20e1f6f8ce (lmo) rsp. 35133692 (kernel.org) break non-GPL modules that use __vmalloc() or any of the vmap(), vm_map_ram(), etc functions on MIPS. All those functions are EXPORT_SYMBOL() so are meant to be allowed to be used by non-GPL kernel modules. These calls all take page protection as an argument which is normally a constant like PAGE_KERNEL. This commit causes all protection constants like PAGE_KERNEL to not be constants and instead to contain the GPL-only symbol _page_cachable_default. This means that all calls to __vmalloc(), vmap(), etc, cause non-GPL modules to fail to link with the complaint that they are trying to use the GPL-only symbol _page_cachable_default...

The SmartMIPS ASE specifies how Read Inhibit (RI) and eXecute Inhibit (XI) bits in the page tables work. The upper two bits of EntryLo{0,1} are RI and XI when the feature is enabled in the PageGrain register. SmartMIPS only covers 32-bit systems. Cavium Octeon+ extends this to 64-bit systems by continuing to place the RI and XI bits in the top of EntryLo even when EntryLo is 64-bits wide. Because we need to carry the RI and XI bits in the PTE, the layout of the PTE is changed. There is a two instruction overhead in the TLB refill hot path to get the EntryLo bits into the proper position. Also the TLB load exception has to probe the TLB to check if RI or XI caused the exception. Also of note is that the layout of the PTE bits is done at compile and runtime rather than statically. In the 32-bit case this allows for the same number of PFN bits as before the patch as the _PAGE_HUGE is not supported in 32-bit kernels (we have _PAGE_NO_EXEC and _PAGE_NO_READ instead of _PAGE_READ and _PAGE_HUGE). The patch is tested on Cavium Octeon+, but should also work on 32-bit systems with the Smart-MIPS ASE.

While Linux provided an O_SYNC flag basically since day 1, it took until Linux 2.4.0-test12pre2 to actually get it implemented for filesystems, since that day we had generic_osync_around with only minor changes and the great "For now, when the user asks for O_SYNC, we'll actually give O_DSYNC" comment. This patch intends to actually give us real O_SYNC semantics in addition to the O_DSYNC semantics. After Jan's O_SYNC patches which are required before this patch it's actually surprisingly simple, we just need to figure out when to set the datasync flag to vfs_fsync_range and when not. This patch renames the existing O_SYNC flag to O_DSYNC while keeping it's numerical value to keep binary compatibility, and adds a new real O_SYNC flag. To guarantee backwards compatiblity it is defined as expanding to both the O_DSYNC and the new additional binary flag (__O_SYNC) to make sure we are backwards-compatible when compiled against the new headers. This also means that all places that don't care about the differences can just check O_DSYNC and get the right behaviour for O_SYNC, too - only places that actuall care need to check __O_SYNC in addition. Drivers and network filesystems have been updated in a fail safe way to always do the full sync magic if O_DSYNC is set. The few places setting O_SYNC for lower layers are kept that way for now to stay failsafe. We enforce that O_DSYNC is set when __O_SYNC is set early in the open path to make sure we always get these sane options. Note that parisc really screwed up their headers as they already define a O_DSYNC that has always been a no-op. We try to repair it by using it for the new O_DSYNC and redefinining O_SYNC to send both the traditional O_SYNC numerical value _and_ the O_DSYNC one.

trap_init issues flush_icache_range(), which uses ipi functions to get icache flushing done on all cpus. But this is done before interrupts are enabled and caused WARN_ON messages. This changeset introduces a new local_flush_icache_range() and uses it before interrupts (and additional CPUs) are enabled to avoid this problem.

dma_cache_(wback|inv|wback_inv) were the earliest attempt on a generalized cache managment API for I/O purposes. Originally it was basically the raw MIPS low level cache API exported to the entire world. The API has suffered from a lack of documentation, was not very widely used unlike it's more modern brothers and can easily be replaced by dma_cache_sync. So remove it rsp. turn the surviving bits back into an arch private API, as discussed on linux-arch.

It may not be perfect yet but the SB1 code is badly borken and has horrible performance issues. Downside: This seriously breaks support for pass 1 parts of the BCM1250 where indexed cacheops don't work quite reliable but I seem to be the last one on the planet with a pass 1 part anyway.

Extend the set of "__attribute__" shortcut macros, and remove identical (and now superfluous) definitions from a couple of source files. based on a page at robert love's blog: http://rlove.org/log/2005102601 extend the set of shortcut macros defined in compiler-gcc.h with the following: #define __packed __attribute__((packed)) #define __weak __attribute__((weak)) #define __naked __attribute__((naked)) #define __noreturn __attribute__((noreturn)) #define __pure __attribute__((pure)) #define __aligned(x) __attribute__((aligned(x))) #define __printf(a,b) __attribute__((format(printf,a,b))) Once these are in place, it's up to subsystem maintainers to decide if they want to take advantage of them. there is already a strong precedent for using shortcuts like this in the source tree. The ones that might give people pause are "__aligned" and "__printf", but shortcuts for both of those are already in use, and in some ways very confusingly. note the two very different definitions for a macro named "ALIGNED": drivers/net/sgiseeq.c:#define ALIGNED(x) ((((unsigned long)(x)) + 0xf) & ~(0xf)) drivers/scsi/ultrastor.c:#define ALIGNED(x) __attribute__((aligned(x))) also: include/acpi/platform/acgcc.h: #define ACPI_PRINTF_LIKE(c) __attribute__ ((__format__ (__printf__, c, c+1))) Given the precedent, then, it seems logical to at least standardize on a consistent set of these macros.
