      MIPS,prctl: add PR_[GS]ET_FP_MODE prctl options for MIPS · 9791554b
      Paul Burton 提交于
      Userland code may be built using an ABI which permits linking to objects
      that have more restrictive floating point requirements. For example,
      userland code may be built to target the O32 FPXX ABI. Such code may be
      linked with other FPXX code, or code built for either one of the more
      restrictive FP32 or FP64. When linking with more restrictive code, the
      overall requirement of the process becomes that of the more restrictive
      code. The kernel has no way to know in advance which mode the process
      will need to be executed in, and indeed it may need to change during
      execution. The dynamic loader is the only code which will know the
      overall required mode, and so it needs to have a means to instruct the
      kernel to switch the FP mode of the process.
      
      This patch introduces 2 new options to the prctl syscall which provide
      such a capability. The FP mode of the process is represented as a
      simple bitmask combining a number of mode bits mirroring those present
      in the hardware. Userland can either retrieve the current FP mode of
      the process:
      
        mode = prctl(PR_GET_FP_MODE);
      
      or modify the current FP mode of the process:
      
        err = prctl(PR_SET_FP_MODE, new_mode);

      arch: Add lightweight memory barriers dma_rmb() and dma_wmb() · 1077fa36
      Alexander Duyck 提交于
      There are a number of situations where the mandatory barriers rmb() and
      wmb() are used to order memory/memory operations in the device drivers
      and those barriers are much heavier than they actually need to be.  For
      example in the case of PowerPC wmb() calls the heavy-weight sync
      instruction when for coherent memory operations all that is really needed
      is an lsync or eieio instruction.
      
      This commit adds a coherent only version of the mandatory memory barriers
      rmb() and wmb().  In most cases this should result in the barrier being the
      same as the SMP barriers for the SMP case, however in some cases we use a
      barrier that is somewhere in between rmb() and smp_rmb().  For example on
      ARM the rmb barriers break down as follows:
      
        Barrier   Call     Explanation
        --------- -------- ----------------------------------
        rmb()     dsb()    Data synchronization barrier - system
        dma_rmb() dmb(osh) data memory barrier - outer sharable
        smp_rmb() dmb(ish) data memory barrier - inner sharable
      
      These new barriers are not as safe as the standard rmb() and wmb().
      Specifically they do not guarantee ordering between coherent and incoherent
      memories.  The primary use case for these would be to enforce ordering of
      reads and writes when accessing coherent memory that is shared between the
      CPU and a device.
      
      It may also be noted that there is no dma_mb().  Most architectures don't
      provide a good mechanism for performing a coherent only full barrier without
      resorting to the same mechanism used in mb().  As such there isn't much to
      be gained in trying to define such a function.

      arch: Cleanup read_barrier_depends() and comments · 8a449718
      Alexander Duyck 提交于
      This patch is meant to cleanup the handling of read_barrier_depends and
      smp_read_barrier_depends.  In multiple spots in the kernel headers
      read_barrier_depends is defined as "do {} while (0)", however we then go
      into the SMP vs non-SMP sections and have the SMP version reference
      read_barrier_depends, and the non-SMP define it as yet another empty
      do/while.
      
      With this commit I went through and cleaned out the duplicate definitions
      and reduced the number of definitions down to 2 per header.  In addition I
      moved the 50 line comments for the macro from the x86 and mips headers that
      defined it as an empty do/while to those that were actually defining the
      macro, alpha and blackfin.

      net: sock: allow eBPF programs to be attached to sockets · 89aa0758
      Alexei Starovoitov 提交于
      introduce new setsockopt() command:
      
      setsockopt(sock, SOL_SOCKET, SO_ATTACH_BPF, &prog_fd, sizeof(prog_fd))
      
      where prog_fd was received from syscall bpf(BPF_PROG_LOAD, attr, ...)
      and attr->prog_type == BPF_PROG_TYPE_SOCKET_FILTER
      
      setsockopt() calls bpf_prog_get() which increments refcnt of the program,
      so it doesn't get unloaded while socket is using the program.
      
      The same eBPF program can be attached to multiple sockets.
      
      User task exit automatically closes socket which calls sk_filter_uncharge()
      which decrements refcnt of eBPF program
