      /tmp/ccJ3ssZW.s: Assembler messages:
      /tmp/ccJ3ssZW.s:1952: Error: can't resolve `.text' {.text section} - `.LFB1077'
      
      This is caused because:

      	.section .text
      	.section .text
      	.previous
      
      does not return us to the .text section, but the .data section; this
      makes use of .previous dangerous if the ordering of previous sections
      is not known.
      
      Fix up the other users of .previous; .pushsection and .popsection are
      a safer pairing to use than .section and .previous.

      This cache flush occurs when we first insert a page into the page

      ARM: 6007/1: fix highmem with VIPT cache and DMA · 7e5a69e8
      Nicolas Pitre 提交于
      The VIVT cache of a highmem page is always flushed before the page
      is unmapped.  This cache flush is explicit through flush_cache_kmaps()
      in flush_all_zero_pkmaps(), or through __cpuc_flush_dcache_area() in
      kunmap_atomic().  There is also an implicit flush of those highmem pages
      that were part of a process that just terminated making those pages free
      as the whole VIVT cache has to be flushed on every task switch. Hence
      unmapped highmem pages need no cache maintenance in that case.
      
      However unmapped pages may still be cached with a VIPT cache because the
      cache is tagged with physical addresses.  There is no need for a whole
      cache flush during task switching for that reason, and despite the
      explicit cache flushes in flush_all_zero_pkmaps() and kunmap_atomic(),
      some highmem pages that were mapped in user space end up still cached
      even when they become unmapped.
      
      So, we do have to perform cache maintenance on those unmapped highmem
      pages in the context of DMA when using a VIPT cache.  Unfortunately,
      it is not possible to perform that cache maintenance using physical
      addresses as all the L1 cache maintenance coprocessor functions accept
      virtual addresses only.  Therefore we have no choice but to set up a
      temporary virtual mapping for that purpose.
      
      And of course the explicit cache flushing when unmapping a highmem page
      on a system with a VIPT cache now can go, which should increase
      performance.
      
      While at it, because the code in __flush_dcache_page() has to be modified
      anyway, let's also make sure the mapped highmem pages are pinned with
      kmap_high_get() for the duration of the cache maintenance operation.
      Because kunmap() does unmap highmem pages lazily, it was reported by
      Gary King <GKing@nvidia.com> that those pages ended up being unmapped
      during cache maintenance on SMP causing segmentation faults.

      include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking... · 5a0e3ad6
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
      
      percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
      included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
      in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
      universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
      
      percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
      this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
      headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
      needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
      used as the basis of conversion.
      
        http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
      
      The script does the followings.
      
      * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
        only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
        gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
      
      * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
        blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
        to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
        core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
        alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
        doesn't seem to be any matching order.
      
      * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
        because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
        an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
        file.
      
      The conversion was done in the following steps.
      
      1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
         over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
         and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
         files.
      
      2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
         some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
         embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
         inclusions to around 150 files.
      
      3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
         from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
      
      4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
         e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
         APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
      
      5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
         editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
         files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
         inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
         wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
         slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
         necessary.
      
      6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
      
      7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
         were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
         distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
         more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
         build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
      
         * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
         * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
         * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
         * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
         * s390 SMP allmodconfig
         * alpha SMP allmodconfig
         * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
      
      8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
         a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
      
      Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
      6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
      If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
      headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
      the specific arch.

      MM: Pass a PTE pointer to update_mmu_cache() rather than the PTE itself · 4b3073e1
      Russell King 提交于
      On VIVT ARM, when we have multiple shared mappings of the same file
      in the same MM, we need to ensure that we have coherency across all
      copies.  We do this via make_coherent() by making the pages
      uncacheable.
      
      This used to work fine, until we allowed highmem with highpte - we
      now have a page table which is mapped as required, and is not available
      for modification via update_mmu_cache().
      
      Ralf Beache suggested getting rid of the PTE value passed to
      update_mmu_cache():
      
        On MIPS update_mmu_cache() calls __update_tlb() which walks pagetables
        to construct a pointer to the pte again.  Passing a pte_t * is much
        more elegant.  Maybe we might even replace the pte argument with the
        pte_t?
      
      Ben Herrenschmidt would also like the pte pointer for PowerPC:
      
        Passing the ptep in there is exactly what I want.  I want that
        -instead- of the PTE value, because I have issue on some ppc cases,
        for I$/D$ coherency, where set_pte_at() may decide to mask out the
        _PAGE_EXEC.
      
      So, pass in the mapped page table pointer into update_mmu_cache(), and
      remove the PTE value, updating all implementations and call sites to
      suit.

      ARM: allow alignment fault mode to be configured at kernel boot · d944d549
      Russell King 提交于
      Some glibc versions intentionally create lots of alignment faults in
      their gconv code, which if not fixed up, results in segfaults during
      boot.  This can prevent systems booting properly.
      
      There is no clear hard-configurable default for this; the desired
      default depends on the nature of the userspace which is going to be
      booted.
      
      So, provide a way for the alignment fault handler to be configured via
      the kernel command line.
