      ARM: add dma coherent region reporting via procfs · 45cd5290
      Russell King 提交于
      Add a new seqfile for reporting coherent DMA allocations.  This contains
      the address range, size and the function which was used to allocate
      each region, allowing these allocations to be viewed in much the same
      way as /proc/vmallocinfo.
      
      The DMA coherent region has limited space, so this allows allocation
      failures to be viewed, as well as finding out how much space is being
      used.
      
      Make sure this file is only readable by root - same as vmallocinfo - to
      prevent information leakage.

      x86, tsc: Fix SMI induced variation in quick_pit_calibrate() · 68f30fbe
      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      pit_expect_msb() returns success wrongly in the below SMI scenario:
      
      a. pit_verify_msb() has not yet seen the MSB transition.
      
      b. we are close to the MSB transition though and got a SMI immediately after
         returning from pit_verify_msb() which didn't see the MSB transition. PIT MSB
         transition has happened somewhere during SMI execution.
      
      c. returned from SMI and we noted down the 'tsc', saw the pit MSB change now and
         exited the loop to calculate 'deltatsc'. Instead of noting the TSC at the MSB
         transition, we are way off because of the SMI.  And as the SMI happened
         between the pit_verify_msb() and before the 'tsc' is recorded in the
         for loop, 'delattsc' (d1/d2 in quick_pit_calibrate()) will be small and
         quick_pit_calibrate() will not notice this error.
      
      Depending on whether SMI disturbance happens while computing d1 or d2, we will
      see the TSC calibrated value smaller or bigger than the expected value. As a
      result, in a cluster we were seeing a variation of approximately +/- 20MHz in
      the calibrated values, resulting in NTP failures.
      
        [ As far as the SMI source is concerned, this is a periodic SMI that gets
          disabled after ACPI is enabled by the OS. But the TSC calibration happens
          before the ACPI is enabled. ]
      
      To address this, change pit_expect_msb() so that
      
       - the 'tsc' is the TSC in between the two reads that read the MSB
      change from the PIT (same as before)
      
       - the 'delta' is the difference in TSC from *before* the MSB changed
      to *after* the MSB changed.
      
      Now the delta is twice as big as before (it covers four PIT accesses,
      roughly 4us) and quick_pit_calibrate() will loop a bit longer to get
      the calibrated value with in the 500ppm precision. As the delta (d1/d2)
      covers four PIT accesses, actual calibrated result might be closer to
      250ppm precision.
      
      As the loop now takes longer to stabilize, double MAX_QUICK_PIT_MS to 50.
      
      SMI disturbance will showup as much larger delta's and the loop will take
      longer than usual for the result to be with in the accepted precision. Or will
      fallback to slow PIT calibration if it takes more than 50msec.
      
      Also while we are at this, remove the calibration correction that aims to
      get the result to the middle of the error bars. We really don't know which
      direction to correct into, so remove it.

      Kernel: Audit Support For The ARM Platform · 29ef73b7
      Nathaniel Husted 提交于
      This patch provides functionality to audit system call events on the
      ARM platform. The implementation was based off the structure of the
      MIPS platform and information in this
      (http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/arm/2009-October/000382.html)
      mailing list thread. The required audit_syscall_exit and
      audit_syscall_entry checks were added to ptrace using the standard
      registers for system call values (r0 through r3). A thread information
      flag was added for auditing (TIF_SYSCALL_AUDIT) and a meta-flag was
      added (_TIF_SYSCALL_WORK) to simplify modifications to the syscall
      entry/exit. Now, if either the TRACE flag is set or the AUDIT flag is
      set, the syscall_trace function will be executed. The prober changes
      were made to Kconfig to allow CONFIG_AUDITSYSCALL to be enabled.
      
      Due to platform availability limitations, this patch was only tested
      on the Android platform running the modified "android-goldfish-2.6.29"
      kernel. A test compile was performed using Code Sourcery's
      cross-compilation toolset and the current linux-3.0 stable kernel. The
      changes compile without error. I'm hoping, due to the simple modifications,
      the patch is "obviously correct".

      Every arch calls:

      	audit_syscall_entry()
      
      which requires knowledge about audit (the existance of audit_context) in

      audit: ia32entry.S sign extend error codes when calling 64 bit code · f031cd25
      Eric Paris 提交于
      In the ia32entry syscall exit audit fastpath we have assembly code which calls
      __audit_syscall_exit directly.  This code was, however, zeroes the upper 32
      bits of the return code.  It then proceeded to call code which expects longs
      to be 64bits long.  In order to handle code which expects longs to be 64bit we
      sign extend the return code if that code is an error.  Thus the
      __audit_syscall_exit function can correctly handle using the values in
      snprintf("%ld").  This fixes the regression introduced in 5cbf1565.

      Audit: push audit success and retcode into arch ptrace.h · d7e7528b
      Eric Paris 提交于
      The audit system previously expected arches calling to audit_syscall_exit to
      supply as arguments if the syscall was a success and what the return code was.
      Audit also provides a helper AUDITSC_RESULT which was supposed to simplify things
      by converting from negative retcodes to an audit internal magic value stating
      success or failure.  This helper was wrong and could indicate that a valid
      pointer returned to userspace was a failed syscall.  The fix is to fix the
      layering foolishness.  We now pass audit_syscall_exit a struct pt_reg and it
      in turns calls back into arch code to collect the return value and to
      determine if the syscall was a success or failure.  We also define a generic
      is_syscall_success() macro which determines success/failure based on if the
      value is < -MAX_ERRNO.  This works for arches like x86 which do not use a
      separate mechanism to indicate syscall failure.
      
      We make both the is_syscall_success() and regs_return_value() static inlines
      instead of macros.  The reason is because the audit function must take a void*
      for the regs.  (uml calls theirs struct uml_pt_regs instead of just struct
      pt_regs so audit_syscall_exit can't take a struct pt_regs).  Since the audit
      function takes a void* we need to use static inlines to cast it back to the
      arch correct structure to dereference it.
      
      The other major change is that on some arches, like ia64, MIPS and ppc, we
      change regs_return_value() to give us the negative value on syscall failure.
      THE only other user of this macro, kretprobe_example.c, won't notice and it
      makes the value signed consistently for the audit functions across all archs.
      
      In arch/sh/kernel/ptrace_64.c I see that we were using regs[9] in the old
      audit code as the return value.  But the ptrace_64.h code defined the macro
      regs_return_value() as regs[3].  I have no idea which one is correct, but this
      patch now uses the regs_return_value() function, so it now uses regs[3].
      
      For powerpc we previously used regs->result but now use the
      regs_return_value() function which uses regs->gprs[3].  regs->gprs[3] is
      always positive so the regs_return_value(), much like ia64 makes it negative
      before calling the audit code when appropriate.

      Kbuild: Use dtc's -d (dependency) option · 7c431851
      Stephen Warren 提交于
      This hooks dtc into Kbuild's dependency system.
      
      Thus, for example, "make dtbs" will rebuild tegra-harmony.dtb if only
      tegra20.dtsi has changed yet tegra-harmony.dts has not. The previous
      lack of this feature recently caused me to have very confusing "git
      bisect" results.
      
      For ARM, it's obvious what to add to $(targets). I'm not familiar enough
      with other architectures to know what to add there. Powerpc appears to
      already add various .dtb files into $(targets), but the other archs may
      need something added to $(targets) to work.
