      compat: Make compat_alloc_user_space() incorporate the access_ok() · c41d68a5
      H. Peter Anvin 提交于
      compat_alloc_user_space() expects the caller to independently call
      access_ok() to verify the returned area.  A missing call could
      introduce problems on some architectures.
      
      This patch incorporates the access_ok() check into
      compat_alloc_user_space() and also adds a sanity check on the length.
      The existing compat_alloc_user_space() implementations are renamed
      arch_compat_alloc_user_space() and are used as part of the
      implementation of the new global function.
      
      This patch assumes NULL will cause __get_user()/__put_user() to either
      fail or access userspace on all architectures.  This should be
      followed by checking the return value of compat_access_user_space()
      for NULL in the callers, at which time the access_ok() in the callers
      can also be removed.

      dma-mapping: remove dma_is_consistent API · 3b9c6c11
      FUJITA Tomonori 提交于
      Architectures implement dma_is_consistent() in different ways (some
      misinterpret the definition of API in DMA-API.txt).  So it hasn't been so
      useful for drivers.  We have only one user of the API in tree.  Unlikely
      out-of-tree drivers use the API.
      
      Even if we fix dma_is_consistent() in some architectures, it doesn't look
      useful at all.  It was invented long ago for some old systems that can't
      allocate coherent memory at all.  It's better to export only APIs that are
      definitely necessary for drivers.
      
      Let's remove this API.

      dma-mapping: unify dma_get_cache_alignment implementations · 4565f017
      FUJITA Tomonori 提交于
      dma_get_cache_alignment returns the minimum DMA alignment.  Architectures
      defines it as ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN (formally ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN).  So we
      can unify dma_get_cache_alignment implementations.
      
      Note that some architectures implement dma_get_cache_alignment wrongly.
      dma_get_cache_alignment() should return the minimum DMA alignment.  So
      fully-coherent architectures should return 1.  This patch also fixes this
      issue.

      dma-mapping: rename ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN to ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN · a6eb9fe1
      FUJITA Tomonori 提交于
      Now each architecture has the own dma_get_cache_alignment implementation.
      
      dma_get_cache_alignment returns the minimum DMA alignment.  Architectures
      define it as ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN (it's used to make sure that malloc'ed
      buffer is DMA-safe; the buffer doesn't share a cache with the others).  So
      we can unify dma_get_cache_alignment implementations.
      
      This patch:
      
      dma_get_cache_alignment() needs to know if an architecture defines
      ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN or not (needs to know if architecture has DMA
      alignment restriction).  However, slab.h define ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN if
      architectures doesn't define it.
      
      Let's rename ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN to ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN.
      ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN is used only in the internals of slab/slob/slub
      (except for crypto).

      tty: Add EXTPROC support for LINEMODE · 26df6d13
      hyc@symas.com 提交于
      This patch is against the 2.6.34 source.
      
      Paraphrased from the 1989 BSD patch by David Borman @ cray.com:
      
           These are the changes needed for the kernel to support
           LINEMODE in the server.
      
           There is a new bit in the termios local flag word, EXTPROC.
           When this bit is set, several aspects of the terminal driver
           are disabled.  Input line editing, character echo, and mapping
           of signals are all disabled.  This allows the telnetd to turn
           off these functions when in linemode, but still keep track of
           what state the user wants the terminal to be in.
      
           New ioctl:
               TIOCSIG         Generate a signal to processes in the
                               current process group of the pty.
      
           There is a new mode for packet driver, the TIOCPKT_IOCTL bit.
           When packet mode is turned on in the pty, and the EXTPROC bit
           is set, then whenever the state of the pty is changed, the
           next read on the master side of the pty will have the TIOCPKT_IOCTL
           bit set.  This allows the process on the server side of the pty
           to know when the state of the terminal has changed; it can then
           issue the appropriate ioctl to retrieve the new state.
      
      Since the original BSD patches accompanied the source code for telnet
      I've left that reference here, but obviously the feature is useful for
      any remote terminal protocol, including ssh.
      
      The corresponding feature has existed in the BSD tty driver since 1989.
      For historical reference, a good copy of the relevant files can be found
      here:

      Greg Kroah-Hartman 提交于
      As Jeff Dike pointed out, the Hayes ESP driver was removed in commit
      f53a2ade, so these ioctl definitions
      should also be removed.  This cleans up the remaining arch-specific
      locations of this ioctl value.
      
      Thanks to Arnd for pointing these out.

      kmap_atomic: make kunmap_atomic() harder to misuse · 597781f3
      Cesar Eduardo Barros 提交于
      kunmap_atomic() is currently at level -4 on Rusty's "Hard To Misuse"
      list[1] ("Follow common convention and you'll get it wrong"), except in
      some architectures when CONFIG_DEBUG_HIGHMEM is set[2][3].
      
      kunmap() takes a pointer to a struct page; kunmap_atomic(), however, takes
      takes a pointer to within the page itself.  This seems to once in a while
      trip people up (the convention they are following is the one from
      kunmap()).
      
      Make it much harder to misuse, by moving it to level 9 on Rusty's list[4]
      ("The compiler/linker won't let you get it wrong").  This is done by
      refusing to build if the type of its first argument is a pointer to a
      struct page.
      
      The real kunmap_atomic() is renamed to kunmap_atomic_notypecheck()
      (which is what you would call in case for some strange reason calling it
      with a pointer to a struct page is not incorrect in your code).
      
      The previous version of this patch was compile tested on x86-64.
      
      [1] http://ozlabs.org/~rusty/index.cgi/tech/2008-04-01.html
      [2] In these cases, it is at level 5, "Do it right or it will always
          break at runtime."
      [3] At least mips and powerpc look very similar, and sparc also seems to
          share a common ancestor with both; there seems to be quite some
          degree of copy-and-paste coding here. The include/asm/highmem.h file
          for these three archs mention x86 CPUs at its top.
      [4] http://ozlabs.org/~rusty/index.cgi/tech/2008-03-30.html
      [5] As an aside, could someone tell me why mn10300 uses unsigned long as
          the first parameter of kunmap_atomic() instead of void *?
