      lib/ioremap.c: add huge I/O map capability interfaces · 0ddab1d2
      Toshi Kani 提交于
      Add ioremap_pud_enabled() and ioremap_pmd_enabled(), which return 1 when
      I/O mappings with pud/pmd are enabled on the kernel.
      
      ioremap_huge_init() calls arch_ioremap_pud_supported() and
      arch_ioremap_pmd_supported() to initialize the capabilities at boot-time.
      
      A new kernel option "nohugeiomap" is also added, so that user can disable
      the huge I/O map capabilities when necessary.

      seccomp: add "seccomp" syscall · 48dc92b9
      Kees Cook 提交于
      This adds the new "seccomp" syscall with both an "operation" and "flags"
      parameter for future expansion. The third argument is a pointer value,
      used with the SECCOMP_SET_MODE_FILTER operation. Currently, flags must
      be 0. This is functionally equivalent to prctl(PR_SET_SECCOMP, ...).
      
      In addition to the TSYNC flag later in this patch series, there is a
      non-zero chance that this syscall could be used for configuring a fixed
      argument area for seccomp-tracer-aware processes to pass syscall arguments
      in the future. Hence, the use of "seccomp" not simply "seccomp_add_filter"
      for this syscall. Additionally, this syscall uses operation, flags,
      and user pointer for arguments because strictly passing arguments via
      a user pointer would mean seccomp itself would be unable to trivially
      filter the seccomp syscall itself.

      stackprotector: Introduce CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_STRONG · 8779657d
      Kees Cook 提交于
      This changes the stack protector config option into a choice of
      "None", "Regular", and "Strong":
      
         CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_NONE
         CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_REGULAR
         CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_STRONG
      
      "Regular" means the old CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR=y option.
      
      "Strong" is a new mode introduced by this patch. With "Strong" the
      kernel is built with -fstack-protector-strong (available in
      gcc 4.9 and later). This option increases the coverage of the stack
      protector without the heavy performance hit of -fstack-protector-all.
      
      For reference, the stack protector options available in gcc are:
      
      -fstack-protector-all:
        Adds the stack-canary saving prefix and stack-canary checking
        suffix to _all_ function entry and exit. Results in substantial
        use of stack space for saving the canary for deep stack users
        (e.g. historically xfs), and measurable (though shockingly still
        low) performance hit due to all the saving/checking. Really not
        suitable for sane systems, and was entirely removed as an option
        from the kernel many years ago.
      
      -fstack-protector:
        Adds the canary save/check to functions that define an 8
        (--param=ssp-buffer-size=N, N=8 by default) or more byte local
        char array. Traditionally, stack overflows happened with
        string-based manipulations, so this was a way to find those
        functions. Very few total functions actually get the canary; no
        measurable performance or size overhead.
      
      -fstack-protector-strong
        Adds the canary for a wider set of functions, since it's not
        just those with strings that have ultimately been vulnerable to
        stack-busting. With this superset, more functions end up with a
        canary, but it still remains small compared to all functions
        with only a small change in performance. Based on the original
        design document, a function gets the canary when it contains any
        of:
      
          - local variable's address used as part of the right hand side
            of an assignment or function argument
          - local variable is an array (or union containing an array),
            regardless of array type or length
          - uses register local variables
      
        https://docs.google.com/a/google.com/document/d/1xXBH6rRZue4f296vGt9YQcuLVQHeE516stHwt8M9xyU
      
      Find below a comparison of "size" and "objdump" output when built with
      gcc-4.9 in three configurations:
      
        - defconfig
      	11430641 kernel text size
      	36110 function bodies
      
        - defconfig + CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_REGULAR
      	11468490 kernel text size (+0.33%)
      	1015 of 36110 functions are stack-protected (2.81%)
      
        - defconfig + CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_STRONG via this patch
      	11692790 kernel text size (+2.24%)
      	7401 of 36110 functions are stack-protected (20.5%)
      
      With -strong, ARM's compressed boot code now triggers stack
      protection, so a static guard was added. Since this is only used
      during decompression and was never used before, the exposure
      here is very small. Once it switches to the full kernel, the
      stack guard is back to normal.
      
      Chrome OS has been using -fstack-protector-strong for its kernel
      builds for the last 8 months with no problems.

      irq: Optimize softirq stack selection in irq exit · cc1f0274
      Frederic Weisbecker 提交于
      If irq_exit() is called on the arch's specified irq stack,
      it should be safe to run softirqs inline under that same
      irq stack as it is near empty by the time we call irq_exit().
      
      For example if we use the same stack for both hard and soft irqs here,
      the worst case scenario is:
      hardirq -> softirq -> hardirq. But then the softirq supersedes the
      first hardirq as the stack user since irq_exit() is called in
      a mostly empty stack. So the stack merge in this case looks acceptable.
      
      Stack overrun still have a chance to happen if hardirqs have more
      opportunities to nest, but then it's another problem to solve.
      
      So lets adapt the irq exit's softirq stack on top of a new Kconfig symbol
      that can be defined when irq_exit() runs on the irq stack. That way
      we can spare some stack switch on irq processing and all the cache
      issues that come along.

      vtime: Add HAVE_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_GEN Kconfig · 554b0004
      Kevin Hilman 提交于
      With VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_GEN, cputime_t becomes 64-bit. In order
      to use that feature, arch code should be audited to ensure there are no
      races in concurrent read/write of cputime_t. For example,
      reading/writing 64-bit cputime_t on some 32-bit arches may require
      multiple accesses for low and high value parts, so proper locking
      is needed to protect against concurrent accesses.
      
      Therefore, add CONFIG_HAVE_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_GEN which arches can
      enable after they've been audited for potential races.
      
      This option is automatically enabled on 64-bit platforms.

      mm: soft-dirty bits for user memory changes tracking · 0f8975ec
      Pavel Emelyanov 提交于
      The soft-dirty is a bit on a PTE which helps to track which pages a task
      writes to.  In order to do this tracking one should
      
        1. Clear soft-dirty bits from PTEs ("echo 4 > /proc/PID/clear_refs)
        2. Wait some time.
        3. Read soft-dirty bits (55'th in /proc/PID/pagemap2 entries)
      
      To do this tracking, the writable bit is cleared from PTEs when the
      soft-dirty bit is.  Thus, after this, when the task tries to modify a
      page at some virtual address the #PF occurs and the kernel sets the
      soft-dirty bit on the respective PTE.
      
      Note, that although all the task's address space is marked as r/o after
      the soft-dirty bits clear, the #PF-s that occur after that are processed
      fast.  This is so, since the pages are still mapped to physical memory,
      and thus all the kernel does is finds this fact out and puts back
      writable, dirty and soft-dirty bits on the PTE.
      
      Another thing to note, is that when mremap moves PTEs they are marked
      with soft-dirty as well, since from the user perspective mremap modifies
      the virtual memory at mremap's new address.

      idle: Fix hlt/nohlt command-line handling in new generic idle · 485cf5da
      Kevin Hilman 提交于
      commit d1669912 (idle: Implement generic idle function) added a new
      generic idle along with support for hlt/nohlt command line options to
      override default idle loop behavior.  However, the command-line
      processing is never compiled.
      
      The command-line handling is wrapped by CONFIG_GENERIC_IDLE_POLL_SETUP
      and arches that use this feature select it in their Kconfigs.
      However, no Kconfig definition was created for this option, so it is
      never enabled, and therefore command-line override of the idle-loop
      behavior is broken after migrating to the generic idle loop.
      
      To fix, add a Kconfig definition for GENERIC_IDLE_POLL_SETUP.
      
      Tested on ARM (OMAP4/Panda) which enables the command-line overrides
      by default.

      CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX: cleanup. · b92021b0
      Rusty Russell 提交于
      We have CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX, which three archs define to the string
      "_".  But Al Viro broke this in "consolidate cond_syscall and
      SYSCALL_ALIAS declarations" (in linux-next), and he's not the first to
      do so.
      
      Using CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX is awkward, since we usually just want to
      prefix it so something.  So various places define helpers which are
      defined to nothing if CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX isn't set:
      
      1) include/asm-generic/unistd.h defines __SYMBOL_PREFIX.
      2) include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h defines VMLINUX_SYMBOL(sym)
      3) include/linux/export.h defines MODULE_SYMBOL_PREFIX.
      4) include/linux/kernel.h defines SYMBOL_PREFIX (which differs from #7)
      5) kernel/modsign_certificate.S defines ASM_SYMBOL(sym)
      6) scripts/modpost.c defines MODULE_SYMBOL_PREFIX
      7) scripts/Makefile.lib defines SYMBOL_PREFIX on the commandline if
         CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX is set, so that we have a non-string version
         for pasting.
      
      (arch/h8300/include/asm/linkage.h defines SYMBOL_NAME(), too).
      
      Let's solve this properly:
      1) No more generic prefix, just CONFIG_HAVE_UNDERSCORE_SYMBOL_PREFIX.
      2) Make linux/export.h usable from asm.
      3) Define VMLINUX_SYMBOL() and VMLINUX_SYMBOL_STR().
      4) Make everyone use them.

      Add HAVE_64BIT_ALIGNED_ACCESS · c19fa94a
      James Hogan 提交于
      On 64 bit architectures with no efficient unaligned access, padding and
      explicit alignment must be added in various places to prevent unaligned
      64bit accesses (such as taskstats and trace ring buffer).
      
      However this also needs to apply to 32 bit architectures with 64 bit
      accesses requiring alignment such as metag.
      
      This is solved by adding a new Kconfig symbol HAVE_64BIT_ALIGNED_ACCESS
      which defaults to 64BIT && !HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS, and can be
      explicitly selected by METAG and any other relevant architectures. This
      can be used in various places to determine whether 64bit alignment is
      required.

      byteorder: allow arch to opt to use GCC intrinsics for byteswapping · cf66bb93
      David Woodhouse 提交于
      Since GCC 4.4, there have been __builtin_bswap32() and __builtin_bswap16()
      intrinsics. A __builtin_bswap16() came a little later (4.6 for PowerPC,
      48 for other platforms).
      
      By using these instead of the inline assembler that most architectures
      have in their __arch_swabXX() macros, we let the compiler see what's
      actually happening. The resulting code should be at least as good, and
      much *better* in the cases where it can be combined with a nearby load
      or store, using a load-and-byteswap or store-and-byteswap instruction
      (e.g. lwbrx/stwbrx on PowerPC, movbe on Atom).
      
      When GCC is sufficiently recent *and* the architecture opts in to using
      the intrinsics by setting CONFIG_ARCH_USE_BUILTIN_BSWAP, they will be
      used in preference to the __arch_swabXX() macros. An architecture which
      does not set ARCH_USE_BUILTIN_BSWAP will continue to use its own
      hand-crafted macros.

      context_tracking: New context tracking susbsystem · 91d1aa43
      Frederic Weisbecker 提交于
      Create a new subsystem that probes on kernel boundaries
      to keep track of the transitions between level contexts
      with two basic initial contexts: user or kernel.
      
      This is an abstraction of some RCU code that use such tracking
      to implement its userspace extended quiescent state.
      
      We need to pull this up from RCU into this new level of indirection
      because this tracking is also going to be used to implement an "on
      demand" generic virtual cputime accounting. A necessary step to
      shutdown the tick while still accounting the cputime.

      infrastructure for saner ret_from_kernel_thread semantics · a74fb73c
      Al Viro 提交于
      * allow kernel_execve() leave the actual return to userland to
      caller (selected by CONFIG_GENERIC_KERNEL_EXECVE).  Callers
      updated accordingly.
      * architecture that does select GENERIC_KERNEL_EXECVE in its
      Kconfig should have its ret_from_kernel_thread() do this:
      	call schedule_tail
      	call the callback left for it by copy_thread(); if it ever
      returns, that's because it has just done successful kernel_execve()
      	jump to return from syscall
      IOW, its only difference from ret_from_fork() is that it does call the
      callback.
      * such an architecture should also get rid of ret_from_kernel_execve()
      and __ARCH_WANT_KERNEL_EXECVE
      
      This is the last part of infrastructure patches in that area - from
      that point on work on different architectures can live independently.

      thp, x86: introduce HAVE_ARCH_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE · 15626062
      Gerald Schaefer 提交于
      Cleanup patch in preparation for transparent hugepage support on s390.
      Adding new architectures to the TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE config option can
      make the "depends" line rather ugly, like "depends on (X86 || (S390 &&
      64BIT)) && MMU".
      
      This patch adds a HAVE_ARCH_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE instead.  x86 already has
      MMU "def_bool y", so the MMU check is superfluous there and
      HAVE_ARCH_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE can be selected in arch/x86/Kconfig.

      Make most arch asm/module.h files use asm-generic/module.h · 786d35d4
      David Howells 提交于
      Use the mapping of Elf_[SPE]hdr, Elf_Addr, Elf_Sym, Elf_Dyn, Elf_Rel/Rela,
      ELF_R_TYPE() and ELF_R_SYM() to either the 32-bit version or the 64-bit version
      into asm-generic/module.h for all arches bar MIPS.
      
      Also, use the generic definition mod_arch_specific where possible.
      
      To this end, I've defined three new config bools:
      
       (*) HAVE_MOD_ARCH_SPECIFIC
      
           Arches define this if they don't want to use the empty generic
           mod_arch_specific struct.
      
       (*) MODULES_USE_ELF_RELA
      
           Arches define this if their modules can contain RELA records.  This causes
           the Elf_Rela mapping to be emitted and allows apply_relocate_add() to be
           defined by the arch rather than have the core emit an error message.
      
       (*) MODULES_USE_ELF_REL
      
           Arches define this if their modules can contain REL records.  This causes
           the Elf_Rel mapping to be emitted and allows apply_relocate() to be
           defined by the arch rather than have the core emit an error message.
      
      Note that it is possible to allow both REL and RELA records: m68k and mips are
      two arches that do this.
      
      With this, some arch asm/module.h files can be deleted entirely and replaced
      with a generic-y marker in the arch Kbuild file.
      
      Additionally, I have removed the bits from m32r and score that handle the
      unsupported type of relocation record as that's now handled centrally.
