      Kconfig: consolidate CONFIG_DEBUG_STRICT_USER_COPY_CHECKS · 446f24d1
      Stephen Boyd 提交于
      The help text for this config is duplicated across the x86, parisc, and
      s390 Kconfig.debug files.  Arnd Bergman noted that the help text was
      slightly misleading and should be fixed to state that enabling this
      option isn't a problem when using pre 4.4 gcc.
      
      To simplify the rewording, consolidate the text into lib/Kconfig.debug
      and modify it there to be more explicit about when you should say N to
      this config.
      
      Also, make the text a bit more generic by stating that this option
      enables compile time checks so we can cover architectures which emit
      warnings vs.  ones which emit errors.  The details of how an
      architecture decided to implement the checks isn't as important as the
      concept of compile time checking of copy_from_user() calls.
      
      While we're doing this, remove all the copy_from_user_overflow() code
      that's duplicated many times and place it into lib/ so that any
      architecture supporting this option can get the function for free.

      s390: add zEC12 code generation support · 991c1505
      Heiko Carstens 提交于
      Allow to generate code that only runs on zEC12 machines.
      
      Also add a check which prevents the kernel to run on machines which
      do not have any of the following new facilities installed:
      
      - (48) decimal-floating-point zoned-conversion
      - (49) execution-hint
      - (49) load-and-trap
      - (49) miscellaneous-instruction-extensions
      - (49) processor-assist
      - (50) constrained transactional-execution
      - (73) transactional-execution
      
      48, 49, 50 and 73 are the bit numbers of the facility indications for
      each of the required facilities.
      
      Note that we assume that user-space gets compiled with the same
      compiler options, therefore we also test for a dfp facility even
      if the kernel doesn't make use of it.

      s390/mm: have 16 byte aligned struct pages · 4bffbb34
      Heiko Carstens 提交于
      Select HAVE_ALIGNED_STRUCT_PAGE on s390, so that the slub allocator can make
      use of compare and swap double for lockless updates. This increases the size
      of struct page to 64 bytes (instead of 56 bytes), however the performance gain
      justifies the increased size:
      
      - now excactly four struct pages fit into a single cache line; the
        case that accessing a struct page causes two cache line loads
        does not exist anymore.
      - calculating the offset of a struct page within the memmap array
        is only a simple shift instead of a more expensive multiplication.
      
      A "hackbench 200 process 200" run on a 32 cpu system did show an 8% runtime
      improvement.

      Make most arch asm/module.h files use asm-generic/module.h · 786d35d4
      David Howells 提交于
      Use the mapping of Elf_[SPE]hdr, Elf_Addr, Elf_Sym, Elf_Dyn, Elf_Rel/Rela,
      ELF_R_TYPE() and ELF_R_SYM() to either the 32-bit version or the 64-bit version
      into asm-generic/module.h for all arches bar MIPS.
      
      Also, use the generic definition mod_arch_specific where possible.
      
      To this end, I've defined three new config bools:
      
       (*) HAVE_MOD_ARCH_SPECIFIC
      
           Arches define this if they don't want to use the empty generic
           mod_arch_specific struct.
      
       (*) MODULES_USE_ELF_RELA
      
           Arches define this if their modules can contain RELA records.  This causes
           the Elf_Rela mapping to be emitted and allows apply_relocate_add() to be
           defined by the arch rather than have the core emit an error message.
      
       (*) MODULES_USE_ELF_REL
      
           Arches define this if their modules can contain REL records.  This causes
           the Elf_Rel mapping to be emitted and allows apply_relocate() to be
           defined by the arch rather than have the core emit an error message.
      
      Note that it is possible to allow both REL and RELA records: m68k and mips are
      two arches that do this.
      
      With this, some arch asm/module.h files can be deleted entirely and replaced
      with a generic-y marker in the arch Kbuild file.
      
      Additionally, I have removed the bits from m32r and score that handle the
      unsupported type of relocation record as that's now handled centrally.
