      [PATCH] make valid_mmap_phys_addr_range() take a pfn · 06c67bef
      Lennert Buytenhek 提交于
      Newer ARMs have a 40 bit physical address space, but mapping physical
      memory above 4G needs a special page table format which we (currently?) do
      not use for userspace mappings, so what happens instead is that mapping an
      address >= 4G will happily discard the upper bits and wrap.
      
      There is a valid_mmap_phys_addr_range() arch hook where we could check for
      >= 4G addresses and deny the mapping, but this hook takes an unsigned long
      address:
      
      	static inline int valid_mmap_phys_addr_range(unsigned long addr, size_t size);
      
      And drivers/char/mem.c:mmap_mem() calls it like this:
      
      	static int mmap_mem(struct file * file, struct vm_area_struct * vma)
      	{
      		size_t size = vma->vm_end - vma->vm_start;
      
      		if (!valid_mmap_phys_addr_range(vma->vm_pgoff << PAGE_SHIFT, size))
      
      So that's not much help either.
      
      This patch makes the hook take a pfn instead of a phys address.

      [IA64] rework memory attribute aliasing · 32e62c63
      Bjorn Helgaas 提交于
      This closes a couple holes in our attribute aliasing avoidance scheme:
      
        - The current kernel fails mmaps of some /dev/mem MMIO regions because
          they don't appear in the EFI memory map.  This keeps X from working
          on the Intel Tiger box.
      
        - The current kernel allows UC mmap of the 0-1MB region of
          /sys/.../legacy_mem even when the chipset doesn't support UC
          access.  This causes an MCA when starting X on HP rx7620 and rx8620
          boxes in the default configuration.
      
      There's more detail in the Documentation/ia64/aliasing.txt file this
      adds, but the general idea is that if a region might be covered by
      a granule-sized kernel identity mapping, any access via /dev/mem or
      mmap must use the same attribute as the identity mapping.
      
      Otherwise, we fall back to using an attribute that is supported
      according to the EFI memory map, or to using UC if the EFI memory
      map doesn't mention the region.

      [PATCH] /dev/mem: validate mmap requests · 80851ef2
      Bjorn Helgaas 提交于
      Add a hook so architectures can validate /dev/mem mmap requests.
      
      This is analogous to validation we already perform in the read/write
      paths.
      
      The identity mapping scheme used on ia64 requires that each 16MB or
      64MB granule be accessed with exactly one attribute (write-back or
      uncacheable).  This avoids "attribute aliasing", which can cause a
      machine check.
      
      Sample problem scenario:
        - Machine supports VGA, so it has uncacheable (UC) MMIO at 640K-768K
        - efi_memmap_init() discards any write-back (WB) memory in the first granule
        - Application (e.g., "hwinfo") mmaps /dev/mem, offset 0
        - hwinfo receives UC mapping (the default, since memmap says "no WB here")
        - Machine check abort (on chipsets that don't support UC access to WB
          memory, e.g., sx1000)
      
      In the scenario above, the only choices are
        - Use WB for hwinfo mmap.  Can't do this because it causes attribute
          aliasing with the UC mapping for the VGA MMIO space.
        - Use UC for hwinfo mmap.  Can't do this because the chipset may not
          support UC for that region.
        - Disallow the hwinfo mmap with -EINVAL.  That's what this patch does.

      [IA64] Rationalise Region Definitions · 0a41e250
      Peter Chubb 提交于
      Currently, region numbers are defined in several files, with several 
      names.  For example, we have REGION_KERNEL in asm/page.h and 
      RGN_KERNEL in pgtable.h 
       
      We also have address definitions that should depend on the 
      RGN_XXX macros, but are currently just long constants. 
       
      The following patch reorganises all the definitions so that they have 
      the same form (RGN_XXX), are in one place, and that addresses that 
      depend on RGN_XXX are derived from them. 
      
      (This is a necessary but not sufficient patch to allow UML-like 
      operation on IA64). 
      
      Thanks to David Mosberger for catching the change I missed in mmu_context.h.

      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
      even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
      archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
      3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
      git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
      infrastructure for it.
      
      Let it rip!
