      sh64: Kill off unused trap_no/error_code from thread_struct. · b2212ea4
      由 Paul Mundt 提交于 
      While the trap number and error code are passed around for debugging
purposes, this occurs wholly independently of the thread struct values.
These values were never part of the sigcontext ABI and are thus never
passed anywhere, so we can just kill them off across the board.

      sh: Improve oops error reporting · 45c0e0e2
      由 Stuart Menefy 提交于 
      In some cases the opps error reporting doesn't give enough information
to diagnose the problem, only printing information if it is thought
to be valid. Replace the current code with more detailed output.

This code is based on the ARM reporting, with minor changes for the SH.

      sh: Fix error synchronising kernel page tables · 8d9a784d
      由 Stuart Menefy 提交于 
      The problem is caused by the interaction of two features in the Linux
memory management code.

A processes address space is described by a struct mm_struct, and
every thread has a pointer to the mm it should run in. The exception
to this are kernel threads, which don't have an mm, and so borrow
the mm from the last thread which ran. The system is bootstrapped
by the initial kernel thread using init's mm (even though init hasn't
been created yet, its mm is the static init_mm).

The other feature is how the kernel handles the page table which
describes the portion of the address space which is only visible when
executing inside the kernel, and which is shared by all threads. On
the SH4 the only portion of the kernel's address space which described
using the page table is called P3, from 0xc0000000 to 0xdfffffff. This
portion of the address space is divided into three:
  - mappings for dma_alloc_coherent()
  - mappings for vmalloc() and ioremap()
  - fixmap mappings, primarily used in copy_user_pages() to create
    kernel mappings of user pages with the correct cache colour.

To optimise the TLB miss handler we don't want to add an additional
condition which checks whether the faulting address is in the user or
the kernel portion of the address space, and so all page tables have a
common portion which describes the kernel part of the address
space. As the SH4 uses a two level page table, only the kernel portion
of first level page table (the pgd entries) is duplicated. These all
point to the same second level entries (the pte's), and so no memory
is wasted.

The reference page table for the kernel is called the swapper_pg_dir,
and when a new page table is created for a new process the kernel
portion of the page table is copied from swapper_pg_dir. This works
fine when changes only occur in the second level of the kernel's page
table, or the first level entries are created before any new user
processes. However if a change occurs to the first level of the page
table, and there are existing processes which don't have this entry in
their page table, this new entry needs to be added. This is done on
demand, when the kernel accesses a P3 address which isn't mapped using
the current page table, the code in vmalloc_fault() copies the entry
from the reference page table (swapper_pg_dir) into the current
processes page table.

The bug which this patch addresses is that the code in vmalloc_fault()
was not copying addresses which fell in the dma_alloc_coherent()
portion of the address space, and it should have been copying any P3
address.

Why we hadn't seen this before, and what made this hard to reproduce,
is that normally the kernel will have called dma_alloc_coherent(), and
accessed the memory mapping created, before any user process
runs. Typically drivers such as USB or SATA will have created and used
mappings of this type during the kernel initialisation, when probing
for the attached devices, before init runs. Ethernet is slightly
different, as it normally only creates and accesses
dma_alloc_coherent() mappings when the network is brought up, but if
kernel level IP configuration is used this will also occur before any
user space process runs. So the first reproduction of this problem
which we saw was occurred when USB and SATA were removed from the
kernel, and then bring up Ethernet from user space using ifconfig.
I'd like to thank Joseph Bormolini who did the hard work reducing the
problem to this simple to reproduce criteria.

In your case the situation is slightly different, and turns out to
depends on the exact kernel configuration (which we had) and your
ramdisk contents (which we didn't - hence the need for some assumptions).

In this case the problem is a side effect of kernel level module
loading. Kernel subsystems sometimes trigger the load of kernel
modules directly, for example the crypto subsystem tries to load the
cryptomgr and MTD tries to load modules for Flash partitioning if
these are not built into the kernel. This is done by the kernel
creating a user process which runs insmod to try and load the
appropriate module.

In order for this to cause problems the system must be running with a
initrd or initramfs, which contains an insmod executable - if the
kernel can't find an insmod to run, no user process is created, and
the problem doesn't occur.  If an insmod is found, a process is
created to run it, which will inherit the kernel portion of the
swapper_pg_dir first level page table. It doesn't matter whether the
inmod is successful or not, but when the the kernel scheduler context
switches back to the kernel initialisation thread, the insmod's mm is
'borrowed' by the kernel thread, as it doesn't have an address space
of its own. (Reference counting is used to ensure this mm is not
destroyed, even though the user process which caused its creation may no
longer exist.) If this address space doesn't have a first level page
table entry for the consistent mappings, and a driver tries to access
such a mapping, we are in the same situation as described above,
except this time in a kernel thread rather than a user thread
executing inside the kernel.

      This implements basic -fstack-protector support, based on the early ARM
version in c743f380. The SMP case is
limited to the initial canary value, while the UP case handles per-task
granularity (limited to 32-bit sh until a new enough sh64 compiler
manifests itself).

      irq_domain: Move irq_virq_count into NOMAP revmap · 6fa6c8e2
      由 Grant Likely 提交于 
      This patch replaces the old global setting of irq_virq_count that is only
used by the NOMAP mapping and instead uses a revmap_data property so that
the maximum NOMAP allocation can be set per NOMAP irq_domain.

There is exactly one user of irq_virq_count in-tree right now: PS3.
Also, irq_virq_count is only useful for the NOMAP mapping.  So,
instead of having a single global irq_virq_count values, this change
drops it entirely and added a max_irq argument to irq_domain_add_nomap().
That makes it a property of an individual nomap irq domain instead of
a global system settting.

      x86: merge 32/64-bit versions of 'strncpy_from_user()' and speed it up · 92ae03f2
      由 Linus Torvalds 提交于 
      This merges the 32- and 64-bit versions of the x86 strncpy_from_user()
by just rewriting it in C rather than the ancient inline asm versions
that used lodsb/stosb and had been duplicated for (trivial) differences
between the 32-bit and 64-bit versions.

While doing that, it also speeds them up by doing the accesses a word at
a time.  Finally, the new routines also properly handle the case of
hitting the end of the address space, which we have never done correctly
before (fs/namei.c has a hack around it for that reason).

Despite all these improvements, it actually removes more lines than it
adds, due to the de-duplication.  Also, we no longer export (or define)
the legacy __strncpy_from_user() function (that was defined to not do
the user permission checks), since it's not actually used anywhere, and
the user address space checks are built in to the new code.

Other architecture maintainers have been notified that the old hack in
fs/namei.c will be going away in the 3.5 merge window, in case they
copied the x86 approach of being a bit cavalier about the end of the
address space.
