      parisc: Reduce SIGRTMIN from 37 to 32 to behave like other Linux architectures · 1f25df2e
      Helge Deller 提交于
      This patch reduces the value of SIGRTMIN on PARISC from 37 to 32, thus
      increasing the number of available RT signals and bring it in sync with other
      Linux architectures.
      
      Historically we wanted to natively support HP-UX 32bit binaries with the
      PA-RISC Linux port.  Because of that we carried the various available signals
      from HP-UX (e.g. SIGEMT and SIGLOST) and folded them in between the native
      Linux signals.  Although this was the right decision at that time, this
      required us to increase SIGRTMIN to at least 37 which left us with 27 (64-37)
      RT signals.
      
      Those 27 RT signals haven't been a problem in the past, but with the upcoming
      importance of systemd we now got the problem that systemd alloctes (hardcoded)
      signals up to SIGRTMIN+29 which is beyond our NSIG of 64. Because of that we
      have not been able to use systemd on the PARISC Linux port yet.
      
      Of course we could ask the systemd developers to not use those hardcoded
      values, but this change is very unlikely, esp. with PA-RISC being a niche
      architecture.
      
      The other possibility would be to increase NSIG to e.g. 128, but this would
      mean to duplicate most of the existing Linux signal handling code into the
      parisc specific Linux kernel tree which would most likely introduce lots of new
      bugs beside the code duplication.
      
      The third option is to drop some HP-UX signals and shuffle some other signals
      around to bring SIGRTMIN to 32.  This is of course an ABI change, but testing
      has shown that existing Linux installations are not visibly affected by this
      change - most likely because we move those signals around which are rarely used
      and move them to slots which haven't been used in Linux yet. In an existing
      installation I was able to exchange either the Linux kernel or glibc (or both)
      without affecting the boot process and installed applications.
      
      Dropping the HP-UX signals isn't an issue either, since support for HP-UX was
      basically dropped a few months back with Kernel 3.14 in commit
      f5a408d5 already, when we changed EWOULDBLOCK
      to be equal to EAGAIN.
      
      So, even if this is an ABI change, it's better to change it now and thus bring
      PARISC Linux in sync with other architectures to avoid other issues in the
      future.

      ARCH: AUDIT: audit_syscall_entry() should not require the arch · 91397401
      Eric Paris 提交于
      We have a function where the arch can be queried, syscall_get_arch().
      So rather than have every single piece of arch specific code use and/or
      duplicate syscall_get_arch(), just have the audit code use the
      syscall_get_arch() code.

      parisc: Only use -mfast-indirect-calls option for 32-bit kernel builds · d26a7730
      John David Anglin 提交于
      In spite of what the GCC manual says, the -mfast-indirect-calls has
      never been supported in the 64-bit parisc compiler. Indirect calls have
      always been done using function descriptors irrespective of the
      -mfast-indirect-calls option.
      
      Recently, it was noticed that a function descriptor was always requested
      when the -mfast-indirect-calls option was specified. This caused
      problems when the option was used in  application code and doesn't make
      any sense because the whole point of the option is to avoid using a
      function descriptor for indirect calls.
      
      Fixing this broke 64-bit kernel builds.
      
      I will fix GCC but for now we need the attached change. This results in
      the same kernel code as before.

      arch, locking: Ciao arch_mutex_cpu_relax() · 3a6bfbc9
      Davidlohr Bueso 提交于
      The arch_mutex_cpu_relax() function, introduced by 34b133f8, is
      hacky and ugly. It was added a few years ago to address the fact
      that common cpu_relax() calls include yielding on s390, and thus
      impact the optimistic spinning functionality of mutexes. Nowadays
      we use this function well beyond mutexes: rwsem, qrwlock, mcs and
      lockref. Since the macro that defines the call is in the mutex header,
      any users must include mutex.h and the naming is misleading as well.
      
      This patch (i) renames the call to cpu_relax_lowlatency  ("relax, but
      only if you can do it with very low latency") and (ii) defines it in
      each arch's asm/processor.h local header, just like for regular cpu_relax
      functions. On all archs, except s390, cpu_relax_lowlatency is simply cpu_relax,
      and thus we can take it out of mutex.h. While this can seem redundant,
      I believe it is a good choice as it allows us to move out arch specific
      logic from generic locking primitives and enables future(?) archs to
      transparently define it, similarly to System Z.

      parisc: fix fanotify_mark() syscall on 32bit compat kernel · ab8a261b
      Helge Deller 提交于
      On parisc we can not use the existing compat implementation for fanotify_mark()
      because for the 64bit mask parameter the higher and lower 32bits are ordered
      differently than what the compat function expects from big endian
      architectures.
      
      Specifically:
      It finally turned out, that on hppa we end up with different assignments
      of parameters to kernel arguments depending on if we call the glibc
      wrapper function
       int fanotify_mark (int __fanotify_fd, unsigned int __flags,
                          uint64_t __mask, int __dfd, const char *__pathname);
      or directly calling the syscall manually
       syscall(__NR_fanotify_mark, ...)
      
      Reason is, that the syscall() function is implemented as C-function and
      because we now have the sysno as first parameter in front of the other
      parameters the compiler will unexpectedly add an empty paramenter in
      front of the u64 value to ensure the correct calling alignment for 64bit
      values.
      This means, on hppa you can't simply use syscall() to call the kernel
      fanotify_mark() function directly, but you have to use the glibc
      function instead.
      
      This patch fixes the kernel in the hppa-arch specifc coding to adjust
      the parameters in a way as if userspace calls the glibc wrapper function
      fanotify_mark().

      parisc: Improve LWS-CAS performance · c776cd89
      John David Anglin 提交于
      The attached change significantly improves the performance of the LWS-CAS code
      in syscall.S.
      This allows a number of packages to build (e.g., zeromq3, gtest and libxs)
      that previously failed because slow LWS-CAS performance under contention. In
      particular, interrupts taken while the lock was taken degraded performance
      significantly.
      
      The change does the following:
      
      1) Disables interrupts around the CAS operation, and
      2) Changes the loads and stores to use the ordered completer, "o", on
      PA 2.0. "o" and "ma" with a zero offset are equivalent. The latter is
      accepted on both PA 1.X and 2.0.
      
      The use of ordered loads and stores probably makes no difference on all
      existing hardware, but it seemed pedantically correct. In particular, the CAS
      operation must complete before LDCW lock is released. As written before, a
      processor could reorder the operations.
      
      I don't believe the period interrupts are disabled is long enough to
      significantly increase interrupt latency. For example, the TLB insert code is
      longer. Worst case is a memory fault in the CAS operation.

      parisc,metag: Do not hardcode maximum userspace stack size · 042d27ac
      Helge Deller 提交于
      This patch affects only architectures where the stack grows upwards
      (currently parisc and metag only). On those do not hardcode the maximum
      initial stack size to 1GB for 32-bit processes, but make it configurable
      via a config option.
      
      The main problem with the hardcoded stack size is, that we have two
      memory regions which grow upwards: stack and heap. To keep most of the
      memory available for heap in a flexmap memory layout, it makes no sense
      to hard allocate up to 1GB of the memory for stack which can't be used
      as heap then.
      
      This patch makes the stack size for 32-bit processes configurable and
      uses 80MB as default value which has been in use during the last few
      years on parisc and which hasn't showed any problems yet.

      metag: Reduce maximum stack size to 256MB · d71f290b

      Specify the maximum stack size for arches where the stack grows upward
      (parisc and metag) in asm/processor.h rather than hard coding in
      fs/exec.c so that metag can specify a smaller value of 256MB rather than
      1GB.
      
      This fixes a BUG on metag if the RLIMIT_STACK hard limit is increased
