      powerpc/mm: Rework I$/D$ coherency (v3) · 8d30c14c
      Benjamin Herrenschmidt 提交于
      This patch reworks the way we do I and D cache coherency on PowerPC.
      
      The "old" way was split in 3 different parts depending on the processor type:
      
         - Hash with per-page exec support (64-bit and >= POWER4 only) does it
      at hashing time, by preventing exec on unclean pages and cleaning pages
      on exec faults.
      
         - Everything without per-page exec support (32-bit hash, 8xx, and
      64-bit < POWER4) does it for all page going to user space in update_mmu_cache().
      
         - Embedded with per-page exec support does it from do_page_fault() on
      exec faults, in a way similar to what the hash code does.
      
      That leads to confusion, and bugs. For example, the method using update_mmu_cache()
      is racy on SMP where another processor can see the new PTE and hash it in before
      we have cleaned the cache, and then blow trying to execute. This is hard to hit but
      I think it has bitten us in the past.
      
      Also, it's inefficient for embedded where we always end up having to do at least
      one more page fault.
      
      This reworks the whole thing by moving the cache sync into two main call sites,
      though we keep different behaviours depending on the HW capability. The call
      sites are set_pte_at() which is now made out of line, and ptep_set_access_flags()
      which joins the former in pgtable.c
      
      The base idea for Embedded with per-page exec support, is that we now do the
      flush at set_pte_at() time when coming from an exec fault, which allows us
      to avoid the double fault problem completely (we can even improve the situation
      more by implementing TLB preload in update_mmu_cache() but that's for later).
      
      If for some reason we didn't do it there and we try to execute, we'll hit
      the page fault, which will do a minor fault, which will hit ptep_set_access_flags()
      to do things like update _PAGE_ACCESSED or _PAGE_DIRTY if needed, we just make
      this guys also perform the I/D cache sync for exec faults now. This second path
      is the catch all for things that weren't cleaned at set_pte_at() time.
      
      For cpus without per-pag exec support, we always do the sync at set_pte_at(),
      thus guaranteeing that when the PTE is visible to other processors, the cache
      is clean.
      
      For the 64-bit hash with per-page exec support case, we keep the old mechanism
      for now. I'll look into changing it later, once I've reworked a bit how we
      use _PAGE_EXEC.
      
      This is also a first step for adding _PAGE_EXEC support for embedded platforms

      pid namespaces: define is_global_init() and is_container_init() · b460cbc5
      Serge E. Hallyn 提交于
      is_init() is an ambiguous name for the pid==1 check.  Split it into
      is_global_init() and is_container_init().
      
      A cgroup init has it's tsk->pid == 1.
      
      A global init also has it's tsk->pid == 1 and it's active pid namespace
      is the init_pid_ns.  But rather than check the active pid namespace,
      compare the task structure with 'init_pid_ns.child_reaper', which is
      initialized during boot to the /sbin/init process and never changes.
      
      Changelog:
      
      	2.6.22-rc4-mm2-pidns1:
      	- Use 'init_pid_ns.child_reaper' to determine if a given task is the
      	  global init (/sbin/init) process. This would improve performance
      	  and remove dependence on the task_pid().
      
      	2.6.21-mm2-pidns2:
      
      	- [Sukadev Bhattiprolu] Changed is_container_init() calls in {powerpc,
      	  ppc,avr32}/traps.c for the _exception() call to is_global_init().
      	  This way, we kill only the cgroup if the cgroup's init has a
      	  bug rather than force a kernel panic.

      [POWERPC] Allow exec faults on readable areas on classic 32-bit PowerPC · 08ae6cc1
      Paul Mackerras 提交于
      Classic 32-bit PowerPC CPUs, and the early 64-bit PowerPC CPUs, don't
      provide a way to prevent execution from readable pages, that is, the
      MMU doesn't distinguish between data reads and instruction reads,
      although a different exception is taken for faults in data accesses
      and instruction accesses.
      
      Commit 9ba4ace3, in the course of
      fixing another bug, added a check that meant that a page fault due
      to an instruction access would fail if the vma did not have the
      VM_EXEC flag set.  This gives an inconsistent enforcement on these
      CPUs of the no-execute status of the vma (since reading from the page
      is sufficient to allow subsequent execution from it), and causes old
      versions of ppc32 glibc (2.2 and earlier) to fail, since they rely
      on executing the word before the GOT but don't have it marked
      executable.
      
      This fixes the problem by allowing execution from readable (or writable)
      areas on CPUs which do not provide separate control over data and
      instruction reads.

      [POWERPC] During VM oom condition, kill all threads in process group · effe24bd

      We have had complaints where a threaded application is left in a bad state
      after one of it's threads is killed when we hit a VM: out_of_memory
      condition.
      
      Killing just one of the process threads can leave the application in a
      bad state, whereas killing the entire process group would allow for
      the application to restart, or be otherwise handled, and makes it very
      obvious that something has gone wrong.
      
      This change allows the entire process group to be taken down, rather than
      just the one thread.

      move die notifier handling to common code · 1eeb66a1
      Christoph Hellwig 提交于
      This patch moves the die notifier handling to common code.  Previous
      various architectures had exactly the same code for it.  Note that the new
      code is compiled unconditionally, this should be understood as an appel to
      the other architecture maintainer to implement support for it aswell (aka
      sprinkling a notify_die or two in the proper place)
      
      arm had a notifiy_die that did something totally different, I renamed it to
      arm_notify_die as part of the patch and made it static to the file it's
      declared and used at.  avr32 used to pass slightly less information through
      this interface and I brought it into line with the other architectures.

      [PATCH] pidspace: is_init() · f400e198
      Sukadev Bhattiprolu 提交于
      This is an updated version of Eric Biederman's is_init() patch.
      (http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/2/6/280).  It applies cleanly to 2.6.18-rc3 and
      replaces a few more instances of ->pid == 1 with is_init().
      
      Further, is_init() checks pid and thus removes dependency on Eric's other
      patches for now.
      
      Eric's original description:
      
      	There are a lot of places in the kernel where we test for init
      	because we give it special properties.  Most  significantly init
      	must not die.  This results in code all over the kernel test
      	->pid == 1.
      
      	Introduce is_init to capture this case.
      
      	With multiple pid spaces for all of the cases affected we are
      	looking for only the first process on the system, not some other
      	process that has pid == 1.

      [PATCH] make PROT_WRITE imply PROT_READ · df67b3da
      Jason Baron 提交于
      Make PROT_WRITE imply PROT_READ for a number of architectures which don't
      support write only in hardware.
      
      While looking at this, I noticed that some architectures which do not
      support write only mappings already take the exact same approach.  For
      example, in arch/alpha/mm/fault.c:
      
      "
              if (cause < 0) {
                      if (!(vma->vm_flags & VM_EXEC))
                              goto bad_area;
              } else if (!cause) {
                      /* Allow reads even for write-only mappings */
                      if (!(vma->vm_flags & (VM_READ | VM_WRITE)))
                              goto bad_area;
              } else {
                      if (!(vma->vm_flags & VM_WRITE))
                              goto bad_area;
              }
      "
      
      Thus, this patch brings other architectures which do not support write only
      mappings in-line and consistent with the rest.  I've verified the patch on
      ia64, x86_64 and x86.
      
      Additional discussion:
      
      Several architectures, including x86, can not support write-only mappings.
      The pte for x86 reserves a single bit for protection and its two states are
      read only or read/write.  Thus, write only is not supported in h/w.
      
      Currently, if i 'mmap' a page write-only, the first read attempt on that page
      creates a page fault and will SEGV.  That check is enforced in
      arch/blah/mm/fault.c.  However, if i first write that page it will fault in
      and the pte will be set to read/write.  Thus, any subsequent reads to the page
      will succeed.  It is this inconsistency in behavior that this patch is
      attempting to address.  Furthermore, if the page is swapped out, and then
      brought back the first read will also cause a SEGV.  Thus, any arbitrary read
      on a page can potentially result in a SEGV.
      
      According to the SuSv3 spec, "if the application requests only PROT_WRITE, the
      implementation may also allow read access." Also as mentioned, some
      archtectures, such as alpha, shown above already take the approach that i am
      suggesting.
      
      The counter-argument to this raised by Arjan, is that the kernel is enforcing
      the write only mapping the best it can given the h/w limitations.  This is
      true, however Alan Cox, and myself would argue that the inconsitency in
      behavior, that is applications can sometimes work/sometimes fails is highly
      undesireable.  If you read through the thread, i think people, came to an
      agreement on the last patch i posted, as nobody has objected to it...

      powerpc: Merge enough to start building in arch/powerpc. · 14cf11af

      This creates the directory structure under arch/powerpc and a bunch
      of Kconfig files.  It does a first-cut merge of arch/powerpc/mm,
      arch/powerpc/lib and arch/powerpc/platforms/powermac.  This is enough
      to build a 32-bit powermac kernel with ARCH=powerpc.
      
      For now we are getting some unmerged files from arch/ppc/kernel and
      arch/ppc/syslib, or arch/ppc64/kernel.  This makes some minor changes
      to files in those directories and files outside arch/powerpc.
      
      The boot directory is still not merged.  That's going to be interesting.
