      [PATCH] mm: arm ready for split ptlock · 69b04754
      Hugh Dickins 提交于
      Prepare arm for the split page_table_lock: three issues.
      
      Signal handling's preserve and restore of iwmmxt context currently involves
      reading and writing that context to and from user space, while holding
      page_table_lock to secure the user page(s) against kswapd.  If we split the
      lock, then the structure might span two pages, secured by to read into and
      write from a kernel stack buffer, copying that out and in without locking (the
      structure is 160 bytes in size, and here we're near the top of the kernel
      stack).  Or would the overhead be noticeable?
      
      arm_syscall's cmpxchg emulation use pte_offset_map_lock, instead of
      pte_offset_map and mm-wide page_table_lock; and strictly, it should now also
      take mmap_sem before descending to pmd, to guard against another thread
      munmapping, and the page table pulled out beneath this thread.
      
      Updated two comments in fault-armv.c.  adjust_pte is interesting, since its
      modification of a pte in one part of the mm depends on the lock held when
      calling update_mmu_cache for a pte in some other part of that mm.  This can't
      be done with a split page_table_lock (and we've already taken the lowest lock
      in the hierarchy here): so we'll have to disable split on arm, unless
      CONFIG_CPU_CACHE_VIPT to ensures adjust_pte never used.

      [ARM] 3061/1: cleanup the XIP link address mess · 37d07b72
      Nicolas Pitre 提交于
      Patch from Nicolas Pitre
      
      Since vmlinux.lds.S is preprocessed, we can use the defines already
      present in asm/memory.h (allowed by patch #3060) for the XIP kernel link
      address instead of relying on a duplicated Makefile hardcoded value, and
      also get rid of its dependency on awk to handle it at the same time.
      
      While at it let's clean XIP stuff even further and make things clearer
      in head.S with a nice code reduction.

      [ARM] 3060/1: allow constants found in asm/memory.h to be used in asm code · f09b9979
      Nicolas Pitre 提交于
      Patch from Nicolas Pitre
      
      This patch allows for assorted type of cleanups by letting assembly code
      use the same set of defines for constant values and avoid duplicated
      definitions that might not always be in sync, or that might simply be
      confusing due to the different names for the same thing.

      [ARM] 2865/2: fix fadvise64_64 syscall argument passing · 68d9102f
      Nicolas Pitre 提交于
      Patch from Nicolas Pitre
      
      The prototype for sys_fadvise64_64() is:
          long sys_fadvise64_64(int fd, loff_t offset, loff_t len, int advice)
      The argument list is therefore as follows on legacy ABI:
      	fd: type int (r0)
      	offset: type long long (r1-r2)
      	len: type long long (r3-sp[0])
      	advice: type int (sp[4])
      With EABI this becomes:
      	fd: type int (r0)
      	offset: type long long (r2-r3)
      	len: type long long (sp[0]-sp[4])
      	advice: type int (sp[8])
      Not only do we have ABI differences here, but the EABI version requires
      one additional word on the syscall stack.
      To avoid the ABI mismatch and the extra stack space required with EABI
      this syscall is now defined with a different argument ordering
      on ARM as follows:
          long sys_arm_fadvise64_64(int fd, int advice, loff_t offset, loff_t len)
      This gives us the following ABI independent argument distribution:
      	fd: type int (r0)
      	advice: type int (r1)
      	offset: type long long (r2-r3)
      	len: type long long (sp[0]-sp[4])
      Now, since the syscall entry code takes care of 5 registers only by
      default including the store of r4 to the stack, we need a wrapper to
      store r5 to the stack as well.  Because that wrapper was missing and was
      always required this means that sys_fadvise64_64 never worked on ARM and
      therefore we can safely reuse its syscall number for our new
      sys_arm_fadvise64_64 interface.

      [PATCH] convert signal handling of NODEFER to act like other Unix boxes. · 69be8f18
      Steven Rostedt 提交于
      It has been reported that the way Linux handles NODEFER for signals is
      not consistent with the way other Unix boxes handle it.  I've written a
      program to test the behavior of how this flag affects signals and had
      several reports from people who ran this on various Unix boxes,
      confirming that Linux seems to be unique on the way this is handled.
      
      The way NODEFER affects signals on other Unix boxes is as follows:
      
      1) If NODEFER is set, other signals in sa_mask are still blocked.
      
      2) If NODEFER is set and the signal is in sa_mask, then the signal is
      still blocked. (Note: this is the behavior of all tested but Linux _and_
      NetBSD 2.0 *).
      
      The way NODEFER affects signals on Linux:
      
      1) If NODEFER is set, other signals are _not_ blocked regardless of
      sa_mask (Even NetBSD doesn't do this).
      
      2) If NODEFER is set and the signal is in sa_mask, then the signal being
      handled is not blocked.
      
      The patch converts signal handling in all current Linux architectures to
      the way most Unix boxes work.
      
      Unix boxes that were tested:  DU4, AIX 5.2, Irix 6.5, NetBSD 2.0, SFU
      3.5 on WinXP, AIX 5.3, Mac OSX, and of course Linux 2.6.13-rcX.
      
      * NetBSD was the only other Unix to behave like Linux on point #2. The
      main concern was brought up by point #1 which even NetBSD isn't like
      Linux.  So with this patch, we leave NetBSD as the lonely one that
      behaves differently here with #2.
