      tty: Added a CONFIG_TTY option to allow removal of TTY · 4f73bc4d
      Joe Millenbach 提交于
      The option allows you to remove TTY and compile without errors. This
      saves space on systems that won't support TTY interfaces anyway.
      bloat-o-meter output is below.
      
      The bulk of this patch consists of Kconfig changes adding "depends on
      TTY" to various serial devices and similar drivers that require the TTY
      layer.  Ideally, these dependencies would occur on a common intermediate
      symbol such as SERIO, but most drivers "select SERIO" rather than
      "depends on SERIO", and "select" does not respect dependencies.
      
      bloat-o-meter output comparing our previous minimal to new minimal by
      removing TTY.  The list is filtered to not show removed entries with awk
      '$3 != "-"' as the list was very long.

      x86: Fix rflags in FAKE_STACK_FRAME · 1cf8343f
      Seiichi Ikarashi 提交于
      The x86_64 kernel pushes the fake kernel stack in
      arch/x86/kernel/entry_64.S:FAKE_STACK_FRAME, and
      rflags register in it does not conform to the specification.
      
      Although Intel's manual[1] says bit 1 of it shall be set to 1,
      this bit is cleared to 0 on pushing the fake stack.
      
      [1] Intel(R) 64 and IA-32 Architectures Software Developer's Manual
          Vol.1 3-21 Figure 3-8. EFLAGS Register
      
      If it is not on purpose, it is better to be fixed, because
      it can lead some tools misunderstanding the stack frame. For example,
      "crash" utility[2] actually detects it and warns you like
      below:
      
             RIP: ffffffff8005dfa2  RSP: ffff8104ce0c7f58  RFLAGS: 00000200

      lguest: Simplify device initialization. · 3c3ed482
      Rusty Russell 提交于
      We used to notify the Host every time we updated a device's status.  However,
      it only really needs to know when we're resetting the device, or failed to
      initialize it, or when we've finished our feature negotiation.
      
      In particular, we used to wait for VIRTIO_CONFIG_S_DRIVER_OK in the
      status byte before starting the device service threads.  But this
      corresponds to the successful finish of device initialization, which
      might (like virtio_blk's partition scanning) use the device.  So we
      had a hack, if they used the device before we expected we started the
      threads anyway.
      
      Now we hook into the finalize_features hook in the Guest: at that
      point we tell the Launcher that it can rely on the features we have
      acked.  On the Launcher side, we look at the status at that point, and
      start servicing the device.

      lguest: use a special 1:1 linear pagetable mode until first switch. · 5dea1c88
      Rusty Russell 提交于
      The Host used to create some page tables for the Guest to use at the
      top of Guest memory; it would then tell the Guest where this was.  In
      particular, it created linear mappings for 0 and 0xC0000000 addresses
      because lguest used to switch to its real page tables quite late in
      boot.
      
      However, since d50d8fe1 Linux initialized boot page tables in
      head_32.S even before the "are we lguest?" boot jump.  So, now we can
      simplify things: the Host pagetable code assumes 1:1 linear mapping
      until it first calls the LHCALL_NEW_PGTABLE hypercall, which we now do
      before we reach C code.
      
      This also means that the Host doesn't need to know anything about the
      Guest's PAGE_OFFSET.  (Non-Linux guests might not even have such a
      thing).

      llseek: automatically add .llseek fop · 6038f373
      Arnd Bergmann 提交于
      All file_operations should get a .llseek operation so we can make
      nonseekable_open the default for future file operations without a
      .llseek pointer.
      
      The three cases that we can automatically detect are no_llseek, seq_lseek
      and default_llseek. For cases where we can we can automatically prove that
      the file offset is always ignored, we use noop_llseek, which maintains
      the current behavior of not returning an error from a seek.
      
      New drivers should normally not use noop_llseek but instead use no_llseek
      and call nonseekable_open at open time.  Existing drivers can be converted
      to do the same when the maintainer knows for certain that no user code
      relies on calling seek on the device file.
      
      The generated code is often incorrectly indented and right now contains
      comments that clarify for each added line why a specific variant was
      chosen. In the version that gets submitted upstream, the comments will
      be gone and I will manually fix the indentation, because there does not
      seem to be a way to do that using coccinelle.
      
      Some amount of new code is currently sitting in linux-next that should get
      the same modifications, which I will do at the end of the merge window.
      
      Many thanks to Julia Lawall for helping me learn to write a semantic
      patch that does all this.

      lguest: stop using KVM hypercall mechanism · 091ebf07
      Rusty Russell 提交于
      This is a partial revert of 4cd8b5e2 "lguest: use KVM hypercalls";
      we revert to using (just as questionable but more reliable) int $15 for
      hypercalls.  I didn't revert the register mapping, so we still use the
      same calling convention as kvm.
      
      KVM in more recent incarnations stopped injecting a fault when a guest
      tried to use the VMCALL instruction from ring 1, so lguest under kvm
      fails to make hypercalls.  It was nice to share code with our KVM
      cousins, but this was overreach.

      lguest: workaround cmpxchg8b_emu by ignoring cli in the guest. · 5094aeaf
      Rusty Russell 提交于
      It's only used by cmpxchg8b_emu (see db677ffa for the gory
      details), and fixing that to be paravirt aware would be more work than
      simply ignoring it (and AFAICT only help lguest).  This makes lguest
      work on machines which have cmpxchg8b, for kernels compiled for older
      processors.
      
      (We can't emulate it properly: the popf which expects to restore interrupts
      does not trap).

      include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking... · 5a0e3ad6
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
      
      percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
      included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
      in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
      universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
      
      percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
      this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
      headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
      needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
      used as the basis of conversion.
      
        http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
      
      The script does the followings.
      
      * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
        only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
        gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
      
      * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
        blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
        to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
        core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
        alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
        doesn't seem to be any matching order.
      
      * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
        because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
        an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
        file.
      
      The conversion was done in the following steps.
      
      1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
         over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
         and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
         files.
      
      2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
         some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
         embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
         inclusions to around 150 files.
      
      3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
         from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
      
      4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
         e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
         APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
      
      5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
         editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
         files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
         inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
         wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
         slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
         necessary.
      
      6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
      
      7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
         were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
         distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
         more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
         build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
      
         * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
         * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
         * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
         * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
         * s390 SMP allmodconfig
         * alpha SMP allmodconfig
         * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
      
      8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
         a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
      
      Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
      6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
      If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
      headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
      the specific arch.
