      mm: treewide: remove unused address argument from pte_alloc functions · 4cf58924
      Joel Fernandes (Google) 提交于
      Patch series "Add support for fast mremap".
      
      This series speeds up the mremap(2) syscall by copying page tables at
      the PMD level even for non-THP systems.  There is concern that the extra
      'address' argument that mremap passes to pte_alloc may do something
      subtle architecture related in the future that may make the scheme not
      work.  Also we find that there is no point in passing the 'address' to
      pte_alloc since its unused.  This patch therefore removes this argument
      tree-wide resulting in a nice negative diff as well.  Also ensuring
      along the way that the enabled architectures do not do anything funky
      with the 'address' argument that goes unnoticed by the optimization.
      
      Build and boot tested on x86-64.  Build tested on arm64.  The config
      enablement patch for arm64 will be posted in the future after more
      testing.
      
      The changes were obtained by applying the following Coccinelle script.
      (thanks Julia for answering all Coccinelle questions!).
      Following fix ups were done manually:
      * Removal of address argument from  pte_fragment_alloc
      * Removal of pte_alloc_one_fast definitions from m68k and microblaze.
      
      // Options: --include-headers --no-includes
      // Note: I split the 'identifier fn' line, so if you are manually
      // running it, please unsplit it so it runs for you.

      fls: change parameter to unsigned int · 3fc2579e
      Matthew Wilcox 提交于
      When testing in userspace, UBSAN pointed out that shifting into the sign
      bit is undefined behaviour.  It doesn't really make sense to ask for the
      highest set bit of a negative value, so just turn the argument type into
      an unsigned int.
      
      Some architectures (eg ppc) already had it declared as an unsigned int,
      so I don't expect too many problems.

      Remove 'type' argument from access_ok() function · 96d4f267
      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      Nobody has actually used the type (VERIFY_READ vs VERIFY_WRITE) argument
      of the user address range verification function since we got rid of the
      old racy i386-only code to walk page tables by hand.
      
      It existed because the original 80386 would not honor the write protect
      bit when in kernel mode, so you had to do COW by hand before doing any
      user access.  But we haven't supported that in a long time, and these
      days the 'type' argument is a purely historical artifact.
      
      A discussion about extending 'user_access_begin()' to do the range
      checking resulted this patch, because there is no way we're going to
      move the old VERIFY_xyz interface to that model.  And it's best done at
      the end of the merge window when I've done most of my merges, so let's
      just get this done once and for all.
      
      This patch was mostly done with a sed-script, with manual fix-ups for
      the cases that weren't of the trivial 'access_ok(VERIFY_xyz' form.
      
      There were a couple of notable cases:
      
       - csky still had the old "verify_area()" name as an alias.
      
       - the iter_iov code had magical hardcoded knowledge of the actual
         values of VERIFY_{READ,WRITE} (not that they mattered, since nothing
         really used it)
      
       - microblaze used the type argument for a debug printout
      
      but other than those oddities this should be a total no-op patch.
      
      I tried to fix up all architectures, did fairly extensive grepping for
      access_ok() uses, and the changes are trivial, but I may have missed
      something.  Any missed conversion should be trivially fixable, though.

      dma-mapping: zero memory returned from dma_alloc_* · 518a2f19
      Christoph Hellwig 提交于
      If we want to map memory from the DMA allocator to userspace it must be
      zeroed at allocation time to prevent stale data leaks.   We already do
      this on most common architectures, but some architectures don't do this
      yet, fix them up, either by passing GFP_ZERO when we use the normal page
      allocator or doing a manual memset otherwise.
