      arch: Add lightweight memory barriers dma_rmb() and dma_wmb() · 1077fa36
      Alexander Duyck 提交于
      There are a number of situations where the mandatory barriers rmb() and
      wmb() are used to order memory/memory operations in the device drivers
      and those barriers are much heavier than they actually need to be.  For
      example in the case of PowerPC wmb() calls the heavy-weight sync
      instruction when for coherent memory operations all that is really needed
      is an lsync or eieio instruction.
      
      This commit adds a coherent only version of the mandatory memory barriers
      rmb() and wmb().  In most cases this should result in the barrier being the
      same as the SMP barriers for the SMP case, however in some cases we use a
      barrier that is somewhere in between rmb() and smp_rmb().  For example on
      ARM the rmb barriers break down as follows:
      
        Barrier   Call     Explanation
        --------- -------- ----------------------------------
        rmb()     dsb()    Data synchronization barrier - system
        dma_rmb() dmb(osh) data memory barrier - outer sharable
        smp_rmb() dmb(ish) data memory barrier - inner sharable
      
      These new barriers are not as safe as the standard rmb() and wmb().
      Specifically they do not guarantee ordering between coherent and incoherent
      memories.  The primary use case for these would be to enforce ordering of
      reads and writes when accessing coherent memory that is shared between the
      CPU and a device.
      
      It may also be noted that there is no dma_mb().  Most architectures don't
      provide a good mechanism for performing a coherent only full barrier without
      resorting to the same mechanism used in mb().  As such there isn't much to
      be gained in trying to define such a function.

      arch: Cleanup read_barrier_depends() and comments · 8a449718
      Alexander Duyck 提交于
      This patch is meant to cleanup the handling of read_barrier_depends and
      smp_read_barrier_depends.  In multiple spots in the kernel headers
      read_barrier_depends is defined as "do {} while (0)", however we then go
      into the SMP vs non-SMP sections and have the SMP version reference
      read_barrier_depends, and the non-SMP define it as yet another empty
      do/while.
      
      With this commit I went through and cleaned out the duplicate definitions
      and reduced the number of definitions down to 2 per header.  In addition I
      moved the 50 line comments for the macro from the x86 and mips headers that
      defined it as an empty do/while to those that were actually defining the
      macro, alpha and blackfin.

      net: sock: allow eBPF programs to be attached to sockets · 89aa0758
      Alexei Starovoitov 提交于
      introduce new setsockopt() command:
      
      setsockopt(sock, SOL_SOCKET, SO_ATTACH_BPF, &prog_fd, sizeof(prog_fd))
      
      where prog_fd was received from syscall bpf(BPF_PROG_LOAD, attr, ...)
      and attr->prog_type == BPF_PROG_TYPE_SOCKET_FILTER
      
      setsockopt() calls bpf_prog_get() which increments refcnt of the program,
      so it doesn't get unloaded while socket is using the program.
      
      The same eBPF program can be attached to multiple sockets.
      
      User task exit automatically closes socket which calls sk_filter_uncharge()
      which decrements refcnt of eBPF program

      groups: Consolidate the setgroups permission checks · 7ff4d90b
      Eric W. Biederman 提交于
      Today there are 3 instances of setgroups and due to an oversight their
      permission checking has diverged.  Add a common function so that
      they may all share the same permission checking code.
      
      This corrects the current oversight in the current permission checks
      and adds a helper to avoid this in the future.
      
      A user namespace security fix will update this new helper, shortly.

      mask/unmask_msi_irq and __mask_msi/msix_irq are PCI/MSI specific

      Rename mask/unmask_msi_irq to pci_msi_mask/unmask_irq and document the
      functions. Provide conversion helpers.
      
      Rename __mask_msi/msix_irq to __pci_msi/msix_desc_mask so its clear
      that they operated on msi_desc. Fixup the only user outside of

      net: introduce SO_INCOMING_CPU · 2c8c56e1
      Eric Dumazet 提交于
      Alternative to RPS/RFS is to use hardware support for multiple
      queues.
      
      Then split a set of million of sockets into worker threads, each
      one using epoll() to manage events on its own socket pool.
      
      Ideally, we want one thread per RX/TX queue/cpu, but we have no way to
      know after accept() or connect() on which queue/cpu a socket is managed.
      
      We normally use one cpu per RX queue (IRQ smp_affinity being properly
      set), so remembering on socket structure which cpu delivered last packet
      is enough to solve the problem.
      
      After accept(), connect(), or even file descriptor passing around
      processes, applications can use :
      
       int cpu;
       socklen_t len = sizeof(cpu);
      
       getsockopt(fd, SOL_SOCKET, SO_INCOMING_CPU, &cpu, &len);
      
      And use this information to put the socket into the right silo
      for optimal performance, as all networking stack should run
      on the appropriate cpu, without need to send IPI (RPS/RFS).

      /dev/mem: Use more consistent data types · 4707a341
      Thierry Reding 提交于
      The xlate_dev_{kmem,mem}_ptr() functions take either a physical address
      or a kernel virtual address, so data types should be phys_addr_t and
      void *. They both return a kernel virtual address which is only ever
      used in calls to copy_{from,to}_user(), so make variables that store it
      void * rather than char * for consistency.
      
      Also only define a weak unxlate_dev_mem_ptr() function if architectures
      haven't overridden them in the asm/io.h header file.
