      Kconfig: consolidate CONFIG_DEBUG_STRICT_USER_COPY_CHECKS · 446f24d1
      Stephen Boyd 提交于
      The help text for this config is duplicated across the x86, parisc, and
      s390 Kconfig.debug files.  Arnd Bergman noted that the help text was
      slightly misleading and should be fixed to state that enabling this
      option isn't a problem when using pre 4.4 gcc.
      
      To simplify the rewording, consolidate the text into lib/Kconfig.debug
      and modify it there to be more explicit about when you should say N to
      this config.
      
      Also, make the text a bit more generic by stating that this option
      enables compile time checks so we can cover architectures which emit
      warnings vs.  ones which emit errors.  The details of how an
      architecture decided to implement the checks isn't as important as the
      concept of compile time checking of copy_from_user() calls.
      
      While we're doing this, remove all the copy_from_user_overflow() code
      that's duplicated many times and place it into lib/ so that any
      architecture supporting this option can get the function for free.

      sparc64: Niagara-4 bzero/memset, plus use MRU stores in page copy. · 9f825962
      David S. Miller 提交于
      This adds optimized memset/bzero/page-clear routines for Niagara-4.
      
      We basically can do what powerpc has been able to do for a decade (via
      the "dcbz" instruction), which is use cache line clearing stores for
      bzero and memsets with a 'c' argument of zero.
      
      As long as we make the cache initializing store to each 32-byte
      subblock of the L2 cache line, it works.
      
      As with other Niagara-4 optimized routines, the key is to make sure to
      avoid any usage of the %asi register, as reads and writes to it cost
      at least 50 cycles.
      
      For the user clear cases, we don't use these new routines, we use the
      Niagara-1 variants instead.  Those have to use %asi in an unavoidable
      way.
      
      A Niagara-4 8K page clear costs just under 600 cycles.
      
      Add definitions of the MRU variants of the cache initializing store
      ASIs.  By default, cache initializing stores install the line as Least
      Recently Used.  If we know we're going to use the data immediately
      (which is true for page copies and clears) we can use the Most
      Recently Used variant, to decrease the likelyhood of the lines being
      evicted before they get used.

      sparc64: Make rwsems 64-bit. · 9b3bb86a
      David S. Miller 提交于
      Basically tip-off the powerpc code, use a 64-bit type and atomic64_t
      interfaces for the implementation.
      
      This gets us off of the by-hand asm code I wrote, which frankly I
      think probably ruins I-cache hit rates.
      
      The idea was the keep the call chains less deep, but anything taking
      the rw-semaphores probably is also calling other stuff and therefore
      already has allocated a stack-frame.  So no real stack frame savings
      ever.
      
      Ben H. has posted patches to make powerpc use 64-bit too and with some
      abstractions we can probably use a shared header file somewhere.
      
      With suggestions from Sam Ravnborg.

      sparc64: fix modpost failure · 62dfcd33
      Sam Ravnborg 提交于
      Previously PeeCeeI.o was a library but it
      was always pulled in due to insw and friends being exported
      (at least for a modular kernel).
      
      But this resulted in modpost failures if there where no in-kernel
      users because then insw & friends were not linked in.
      
      Fix this by including PeeCeeI.o in the kernel unconditionally.
      
      The only drawback for this solution is that a nonmodular kernel
      will always include insw & friends no matter if they are in use or not.

      [PATCH] spinlock consolidation · fb1c8f93
      Ingo Molnar 提交于
      This patch (written by me and also containing many suggestions of Arjan van
      de Ven) does a major cleanup of the spinlock code.  It does the following
      things:
      
       - consolidates and enhances the spinlock/rwlock debugging code
      
       - simplifies the asm/spinlock.h files
      
       - encapsulates the raw spinlock type and moves generic spinlock
         features (such as ->break_lock) into the generic code.
      
       - cleans up the spinlock code hierarchy to get rid of the spaghetti.
      
      Most notably there's now only a single variant of the debugging code,
      located in lib/spinlock_debug.c.  (previously we had one SMP debugging
      variant per architecture, plus a separate generic one for UP builds)
      
      Also, i've enhanced the rwlock debugging facility, it will now track
      write-owners.  There is new spinlock-owner/CPU-tracking on SMP builds too.
      All locks have lockup detection now, which will work for both soft and hard
      spin/rwlock lockups.
      
      The arch-level include files now only contain the minimally necessary
      subset of the spinlock code - all the rest that can be generalized now
      lives in the generic headers:
      
       include/asm-i386/spinlock_types.h       |   16
       include/asm-x86_64/spinlock_types.h     |   16
      
      I have also split up the various spinlock variants into separate files,
      making it easier to see which does what. The new layout is:
      
         SMP                         |  UP
         ----------------------------|-----------------------------------
         asm/spinlock_types_smp.h    |  linux/spinlock_types_up.h
         linux/spinlock_types.h      |  linux/spinlock_types.h
         asm/spinlock_smp.h          |  linux/spinlock_up.h
         linux/spinlock_api_smp.h    |  linux/spinlock_api_up.h
         linux/spinlock.h            |  linux/spinlock.h
      
      /*
       * here's the role of the various spinlock/rwlock related include files:
       *
       * on SMP builds:
       *
       *  asm/spinlock_types.h: contains the raw_spinlock_t/raw_rwlock_t and the

       *
       *  linux/spinlock_types.h:
       *                        defines the generic type and initializers

       *                        implementations, mostly inline assembly code
       *
       *   (also included on UP-debug builds:)
       *
       *  linux/spinlock_api_smp.h:
       *                        contains the prototypes for the _spin_*() APIs.
       *
       *  linux/spinlock.h:     builds the final spin_*() APIs.
       *
       * on UP builds:
       *
       *  linux/spinlock_type_up.h:
       *                        contains the generic, simplified UP spinlock type.
       *                        (which is an empty structure on non-debug builds)
       *
       *  linux/spinlock_types.h:
       *                        defines the generic type and initializers
       *
       *  linux/spinlock_up.h:
       *                        contains the __raw_spin_*()/etc. version of UP
       *                        builds. (which are NOPs on non-debug, non-preempt
       *                        builds)
       *
       *   (included on UP-non-debug builds:)

      arm, i386, ia64, ppc, ppc64, s390/s390x, x64 was build-tested via

      be mostly fine.

        Booted and lightly tested on a500-44 (64-bit, SMP kernel, dual CPU).
        Builds 32-bit SMP kernel (not booted or tested).  I did not try to build
        non-SMP kernels.  That should be trivial to fix up later if necessary.
      
        I converted bit ops atomic_hash lock to raw_spinlock_t.  Doing so avoids
        some ugly nesting of linux/*.h and asm/*.h files.  Those particular locks
        are well tested and contained entirely inside arch specific code.  I do NOT
        expect any new issues to arise with them.
      
       If someone does ever need to use debug/metrics with them, then they will
        need to unravel this hairball between spinlocks, atomic ops, and bit ops
        that exist only because parisc has exactly one atomic instruction: LDCW
        (load and clear word).

      Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
      even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
      archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
      3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
      git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
      infrastructure for it.
