      compat: Make compat_alloc_user_space() incorporate the access_ok() · c41d68a5
      H. Peter Anvin 提交于
      compat_alloc_user_space() expects the caller to independently call
      access_ok() to verify the returned area.  A missing call could
      introduce problems on some architectures.
      
      This patch incorporates the access_ok() check into
      compat_alloc_user_space() and also adds a sanity check on the length.
      The existing compat_alloc_user_space() implementations are renamed
      arch_compat_alloc_user_space() and are used as part of the
      implementation of the new global function.
      
      This patch assumes NULL will cause __get_user()/__put_user() to either
      fail or access userspace on all architectures.  This should be
      followed by checking the return value of compat_access_user_space()
      for NULL in the callers, at which time the access_ok() in the callers
      can also be removed.

      sparc64: Get rid of indirect p1275 PROM call buffer. · 25edd694
      David S. Miller 提交于
      This is based upon a report by Meelis Roos showing that it's possible
      that we'll try to fetch a property that is 32K in size with some
      devices.  With the current fixed 3K buffer we use for moving data in
      and out of the firmware during PROM calls, that simply won't work.
      
      In fact, it will scramble random kernel data during bootup.
      
      The reasoning behind the temporary buffer is entirely historical.  It
      used to be the case that we had problems referencing dynamic kernel
      memory (including the stack) early in the boot process before we
      explicitly told the firwmare to switch us over to the kernel trap
      table.
      
      So what we did was always give the firmware buffers that were locked
      into the main kernel image.
      
      But we no longer have problems like that, so get rid of all of this
      indirect bounce buffering.
      
      Besides fixing Meelis's bug, this also makes the kernel data about 3K
      smaller.
      
      It was also discovered during these conversions that the
      implementation of prom_retain() was completely wrong, so that was
      fixed here as well.  Currently that interface is not in use.

      sparc: Really fix "console=" for serial consoles. · 0a492896
      David S. Miller 提交于
      If a video head and keyboard are hooked up, specifying "console=ttyS0"
      or similar to use a serial console will not work properly.
      
      The key issue is that we must register all serial console capable
      devices with register_console(), otherwise the command line specified
      device won't be found.  The sun serial drivers would only register
      themselves as console devices if the OpenFirmware specified console
      device node matched.  To fix this part we now unconditionally get
      the serial console register by setting serial_drv->cons always.
      
      Secondarily we must not add_preferred_console() using the firmware
      provided console setting if the user gaven an override on the kernel
      command line using "console="  The "primary framebuffer" matching
      logic was always triggering o n openfirmware device node match, make
      it not when a command line override was given.

      dma-mapping: remove dma_is_consistent API · 3b9c6c11
      FUJITA Tomonori 提交于
      Architectures implement dma_is_consistent() in different ways (some
      misinterpret the definition of API in DMA-API.txt).  So it hasn't been so
      useful for drivers.  We have only one user of the API in tree.  Unlikely
      out-of-tree drivers use the API.
      
      Even if we fix dma_is_consistent() in some architectures, it doesn't look
      useful at all.  It was invented long ago for some old systems that can't
      allocate coherent memory at all.  It's better to export only APIs that are
      definitely necessary for drivers.
      
      Let's remove this API.

      tty: Add EXTPROC support for LINEMODE · 26df6d13
      hyc@symas.com 提交于
      This patch is against the 2.6.34 source.
      
      Paraphrased from the 1989 BSD patch by David Borman @ cray.com:
      
           These are the changes needed for the kernel to support
           LINEMODE in the server.
      
           There is a new bit in the termios local flag word, EXTPROC.
           When this bit is set, several aspects of the terminal driver
           are disabled.  Input line editing, character echo, and mapping
           of signals are all disabled.  This allows the telnetd to turn
           off these functions when in linemode, but still keep track of
           what state the user wants the terminal to be in.
      
           New ioctl:
               TIOCSIG         Generate a signal to processes in the
                               current process group of the pty.
      
           There is a new mode for packet driver, the TIOCPKT_IOCTL bit.
           When packet mode is turned on in the pty, and the EXTPROC bit
           is set, then whenever the state of the pty is changed, the
           next read on the master side of the pty will have the TIOCPKT_IOCTL
           bit set.  This allows the process on the server side of the pty
           to know when the state of the terminal has changed; it can then
           issue the appropriate ioctl to retrieve the new state.
      
      Since the original BSD patches accompanied the source code for telnet
      I've left that reference here, but obviously the feature is useful for
      any remote terminal protocol, including ssh.
      
      The corresponding feature has existed in the BSD tty driver since 1989.
      For historical reference, a good copy of the relevant files can be found
      here:

      kmap_atomic: make kunmap_atomic() harder to misuse · 597781f3
      Cesar Eduardo Barros 提交于
      kunmap_atomic() is currently at level -4 on Rusty's "Hard To Misuse"
      list[1] ("Follow common convention and you'll get it wrong"), except in
      some architectures when CONFIG_DEBUG_HIGHMEM is set[2][3].
      
      kunmap() takes a pointer to a struct page; kunmap_atomic(), however, takes
      takes a pointer to within the page itself.  This seems to once in a while
      trip people up (the convention they are following is the one from
      kunmap()).
      
      Make it much harder to misuse, by moving it to level 9 on Rusty's list[4]
      ("The compiler/linker won't let you get it wrong").  This is done by
      refusing to build if the type of its first argument is a pointer to a
      struct page.
      
      The real kunmap_atomic() is renamed to kunmap_atomic_notypecheck()
      (which is what you would call in case for some strange reason calling it
      with a pointer to a struct page is not incorrect in your code).
      
      The previous version of this patch was compile tested on x86-64.
      
      [1] http://ozlabs.org/~rusty/index.cgi/tech/2008-04-01.html
      [2] In these cases, it is at level 5, "Do it right or it will always
          break at runtime."
      [3] At least mips and powerpc look very similar, and sparc also seems to
          share a common ancestor with both; there seems to be quite some
          degree of copy-and-paste coding here. The include/asm/highmem.h file
          for these three archs mention x86 CPUs at its top.
      [4] http://ozlabs.org/~rusty/index.cgi/tech/2008-03-30.html
      [5] As an aside, could someone tell me why mn10300 uses unsigned long as
          the first parameter of kunmap_atomic() instead of void *?

      Now that the device tree node pointer has been moved out of struct

      probing.
      
      arch/powerpc and arch/microblaze are moving away from using the of_bus
      and using the regular platform bus instead for mmio devices.  This

      sparc/of: Move of_device fields into struct pdev_archdata · 1636f8ac
      Grant Likely 提交于
      This patch moves SPARC architecture specific data members out of
      struct of_device and into the pdev_archdata structure.  The reason
      for this change is to unify the struct of_device definition amongst
      all the architectures.  It also remvoes the .sysdata, .slot, .portid
      and .clock_freq properties because they aren't actually used by
      anything.
      
      A subsequent patch will replace struct of_device entirely with struct
      platform_device and the of_platform support code will share common
      routines with the platform bus (but the bus instances themselves can
      remain separate).
      
      This patch also adds 'struct resources *resource' and num_resources
      to match the fields defined in struct platform_device.  After this
      change, 'struct platform_device' can be used as a drop-in replacement
      for 'struct of_platform'.
      
      This change is in preparation for merging the of_platform_bus_type
      with the platform_bus_type.
