      [ARM] 3762/1: Fix ptrace cache coherency bug for ARM1136 VIPT nonaliasing Harvard caches · a188ad2b
      George G. Davis 提交于
      Patch from George G. Davis
      
      Resolve ARM1136 VIPT non-aliasing cache coherency issues observed when
      using ptrace to set breakpoints and cleanup copy_{to,from}_user_page()
      while we're here as requested by Russell King because "it's also far
      too heavy on non-v6 CPUs".
      
      NOTES:
      
      1. Only access_process_vm() calls copy_{to,from}_user_page().
      2. access_process_vm() calls get_user_pages() to pin down the "page".
      3. get_user_pages() calls flush_dcache_page(page) which ensures cache
         coherency between kernel and userspace mappings of "page".  However
         flush_dcache_page(page) may not invalidate I-Cache over this range
         for all cases, specifically, I-Cache is not invalidated for the VIPT
         non-aliasing case.  So memory is consistent between kernel and user
         space mappings of "page" but I-Cache may still be hot over this
         range.  IOW, we don't have to worry about flush_cache_page() before
         memcpy().
      4. Now, for the copy_to_user_page() case, after memcpy(), we must flush
         the caches so memory is consistent with kernel cache entries and
         invalidate the I-Cache if this mm region is executable.  We don't
         need to do anything after memcpy() for the copy_from_user_page()
         case since kernel cache entries will be invalidated via the same
         process above if we access "page" again.  The flush_ptrace_access()
         function (borrowed from SPARC64 implementation) is added to handle
         cache flushing after memcpy() for the copy_to_user_page() case.

      [PATCH] Change panic_on_oops message to "Fatal exception" · 012c437d
      Horms 提交于
      Previously the message was "Fatal exception: panic_on_oops", as introduced
      in a recent patch whith removed a somewhat dangerous call to ssleep() in
      the panic_on_oops path.  However, Paul Mackerras suggested that this was
      somewhat confusing, leadind people to believe that it was panic_on_oops
      that was the root cause of the fatal exception.  On his suggestion, this
      patch changes the message to simply "Fatal exception".  A suitable oops
      message should already have been displayed.

      [PATCH] panic_on_oops: remove ssleep() · cea6a4ba
      Horms 提交于
      This patch is part of an effort to unify the panic_on_oops behaviour across
      all architectures that implement it.
      
      It was pointed out to me by Andi Kleen that if an oops has occured in
      interrupt context, then calling sleep() in the oops path will only cause a
      panic, and that it would be really better for it not to be in the path at
      all.
      
      This patch removes the ssleep() call and reworks the console message
      accordinly.  I have a slght concern that the resulting console message is
      too long, feedback welcome.
      
      For powerpc it also unifies the 32bit and 64bit behaviour.
      
      Fror x86_64, this patch only updates the console message, as ssleep() is
      already not present.
