      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.

      s390: use common bust_spinlocks() · 5b39fc04
      Sergey Senozhatsky 提交于
      s390 is the only architecture that is using own bust_spinlocks()
      variant, while other arch-s seem to be OK with the common
      implementation.
      
      Heiko Carstens [1] said he would prefer s390 to use the common
      bust_spinlocks() as well:
        I did some code archaeology and this function is unchanged since ~17
        years. When it was introduced it was close to identical to the x86
        variant. All other architectures use the common code variant in the
        meantime. So if we change this I'd prefer that we switch s390 to the
        common code variant as well. Right now I can't see a reason for not
        doing that
      
      This patch removes s390 bust_spinlocks() and drops the weak attribute
      from the common bust_spinlocks() version.

      s390/zcrypt: improve special ap message cmd handling · be534791
      Harald Freudenberger 提交于
      There exist very few ap messages which need to have the 'special' flag
      enabled. This flag tells the firmware layer to do some pre- and maybe
      postprocessing. However, it may happen that this special flag is
      enabled but the firmware is unable to deal with this kind of message
      and thus returns with reply code 0x41. For example older firmware may
      not know the newest messages triggered by the zcrypt device driver and
      thus react with reject and the named reply code. Unfortunately this
      reply code is not known to the zcrypt error routines and thus default
      behavior is to switch the ap queue offline.
      
      This patch now makes the ap error routine aware of the reply code and
      so userspace is informed about the bad processing result but the queue
      is not switched to offline state any more.

      s390/ap: rework assembler functions to use unions for in/out register variables · 159491f3
      Harald Freudenberger 提交于
      The inline assembler functions ap_aqic() and ap_qact() used two
      variables declared on the very same register. One variable was for
      input only, the other for output. Looks like newer versions of the gcc
      don't like this. Anyway it is a better coding to use one variable
      (which may have a union data type) on one register for input and
      output. So this patch introduces unions and uses only one variable now
      for input and output for GR1 for the PQAP(QACT) and PQAP(QIC)
      invocation.
