      powerpc: remove unused variable · 7c6d45e6

      this:

      modules: Fix module_bug_list list corruption race · 5336377d
      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      With all the recent module loading cleanups, we've minimized the code
      that sits under module_mutex, fixing various deadlocks and making it
      possible to do most of the module loading in parallel.
      
      However, that whole conversion totally missed the rather obscure code
      that adds a new module to the list for BUG() handling.  That code was
      doubly obscure because (a) the code itself lives in lib/bugs.c (for
      dubious reasons) and (b) it gets called from the architecture-specific
      "module_finalize()" rather than from generic code.
      
      Calling it from arch-specific code makes no sense what-so-ever to begin
      with, and is now actively wrong since that code isn't protected by the
      module loading lock any more.
      
      So this commit moves the "module_bug_{finalize,cleanup}()" calls away
      from the arch-specific code, and into the generic code - and in the
      process protects it with the module_mutex so that the list operations
      are now safe.
      
      Future fixups:
       - move the module list handling code into kernel/module.c where it
         belongs.
       - get rid of 'module_bug_list' and just use the regular list of modules
         (called 'modules' - imagine that) that we already create and maintain
         for other reasons.

      MN10300: Fix flush_icache_range() · 57cf4f78
      David Howells 提交于
      flush_icache_range() is given virtual addresses to describe the region.  It
      deals with these by attempting to translate them through the current set of
      page tables.
      
      This is fine for userspace memory and vmalloc()'d areas as they are governed by
      page tables.  However, since the regions above 0x80000000 aren't translated
      through the page tables by the MMU, the kernel doesn't bother to set up page
      tables for them (see paging_init()).
      
      This means flush_icache_range() as it stands cannot be used to flush regions of
      the VM area between 0x80000000 and 0x9fffffff where the kernel resides if the
      data cache is operating in WriteBack mode.
      
      To fix this, make flush_icache_range() first check for addresses in the upper
      half of VM space and deal with them appropriately, before dealing with any
      range in the page table mapped area.
      
      Ordinarily, this is not a problem, but it has the capacity to make kprobes and
      kgdb malfunction.  It should not affect gdbstub, signal frame setup or module
      loading as gdb has its own flush functions, and the others take place in the
      page table mapped area only.
