      s390: KVM preparation: provide hook to enable pgstes in user pagetable · 402b0862
      Carsten Otte 提交于
      The SIE instruction on s390 uses the 2nd half of the page table page to
      virtualize the storage keys of a guest. This patch offers the s390_enable_sie
      function, which reorganizes the page tables of a single-threaded process to
      reserve space in the page table:
      s390_enable_sie makes sure that the process is single threaded and then uses
      dup_mm to create a new mm with reorganized page tables. The old mm is freed
      and the process has now a page status extended field after every page table.
      
      Code that wants to exploit pgstes should SELECT CONFIG_PGSTE.
      
      This patch has a small common code hit, namely making dup_mm non-static.
      
      Edit (Carsten): I've modified Martin's patch, following Jeremy Fitzhardinge's
      review feedback. Now we do have the prototype for dup_mm in
      include/linux/sched.h. Following Martin's suggestion, s390_enable_sie() does now
      call task_lock() to prevent race against ptrace modification of mm_users.

      CONFIG_HIGHPTE vs. sub-page page tables. · 2f569afd
      Martin Schwidefsky 提交于
      Background: I've implemented 1K/2K page tables for s390.  These sub-page
      page tables are required to properly support the s390 virtualization
      instruction with KVM.  The SIE instruction requires that the page tables
      have 256 page table entries (pte) followed by 256 page status table entries
      (pgste).  The pgstes are only required if the process is using the SIE
      instruction.  The pgstes are updated by the hardware and by the hypervisor
      for a number of reasons, one of them is dirty and reference bit tracking.
      To avoid wasting memory the standard pte table allocation should return
      1K/2K (31/64 bit) and 2K/4K if the process is using SIE.
      
      Problem: Page size on s390 is 4K, page table size is 1K or 2K.  That means
      the s390 version for pte_alloc_one cannot return a pointer to a struct
      page.  Trouble is that with the CONFIG_HIGHPTE feature on x86 pte_alloc_one
      cannot return a pointer to a pte either, since that would require more than
      32 bit for the return value of pte_alloc_one (and the pte * would not be
      accessible since its not kmapped).
      
      Solution: The only solution I found to this dilemma is a new typedef: a
      pgtable_t.  For s390 pgtable_t will be a (pte *) - to be introduced with a
      later patch.  For everybody else it will be a (struct page *).  The
      additional problem with the initialization of the ptl lock and the
      NR_PAGETABLE accounting is solved with a constructor pgtable_page_ctor and
      a destructor pgtable_page_dtor.  The page table allocation and free
      functions need to call these two whenever a page table page is allocated or
      freed.  pmd_populate will get a pgtable_t instead of a struct page pointer.
       To get the pgtable_t back from a pmd entry that has been installed with
      pmd_populate a new function pmd_pgtable is added.  It replaces the pmd_page
      call in free_pte_range and apply_to_pte_range.

      pid namespaces: define is_global_init() and is_container_init() · b460cbc5
      Serge E. Hallyn 提交于
      is_init() is an ambiguous name for the pid==1 check.  Split it into
      is_global_init() and is_container_init().
      
      A cgroup init has it's tsk->pid == 1.
      
      A global init also has it's tsk->pid == 1 and it's active pid namespace
      is the init_pid_ns.  But rather than check the active pid namespace,
      compare the task structure with 'init_pid_ns.child_reaper', which is
      initialized during boot to the /sbin/init process and never changes.
      
      Changelog:
      
      	2.6.22-rc4-mm2-pidns1:
      	- Use 'init_pid_ns.child_reaper' to determine if a given task is the
      	  global init (/sbin/init) process. This would improve performance
      	  and remove dependence on the task_pid().
      
      	2.6.21-mm2-pidns2:
      
      	- [Sukadev Bhattiprolu] Changed is_container_init() calls in {powerpc,
      	  ppc,avr32}/traps.c for the _exception() call to is_global_init().
      	  This way, we kill only the cgroup if the cgroup's init has a
      	  bug rather than force a kernel panic.

      During VM oom condition, kill all threads in process group · dcca2bde
      Will Schmidt 提交于
      We have had complaints where a threaded application is left in a bad state
      after one of it's threads is killed when we hit a VM: out_of_memory
      condition.
      
      Killing just one of the process threads can leave the application in a bad
      state, whereas killing the entire process group would allow for the
      application to restart, or be otherwise handled, and makes it very obvious
      that something has gone wrong.
      
      This change allows the entire process group to be taken down, rather
      than just the one thread.

      This patch completes Linus's wish that the fault return codes be made into

      all handle_mm_fault callers to be modified (possibly the modifications
      should go further and do things like fault accounting in handle_mm_fault --
      however that would be for another patch).

      move die notifier handling to common code · 1eeb66a1
      Christoph Hellwig 提交于
      This patch moves the die notifier handling to common code.  Previous
      various architectures had exactly the same code for it.  Note that the new
      code is compiled unconditionally, this should be understood as an appel to
      the other architecture maintainer to implement support for it aswell (aka
      sprinkling a notify_die or two in the proper place)
      
      arm had a notifiy_die that did something totally different, I renamed it to
      arm_notify_die as part of the patch and made it static to the file it's
      declared and used at.  avr32 used to pass slightly less information through
      this interface and I brought it into line with the other architectures.
