      vfs: define struct filename and have getname() return it · 91a27b2a
      Jeff Layton 提交于
      getname() is intended to copy pathname strings from userspace into a
      kernel buffer. The result is just a string in kernel space. It would
      however be quite helpful to be able to attach some ancillary info to
      the string.
      
      For instance, we could attach some audit-related info to reduce the
      amount of audit-related processing needed. When auditing is enabled,
      we could also call getname() on the string more than once and not
      need to recopy it from userspace.
      
      This patchset converts the getname()/putname() interfaces to return
      a struct instead of a string. For now, the struct just tracks the
      string in kernel space and the original userland pointer for it.
      
      Later, we'll add other information to the struct as it becomes
      convenient.

      Missing error types, attributes, and report fields.  Pad out
      to 64-bytes.
      
      Make string reporting cleaner and easier to extend in the future using
      "const char *" arrays that index by either bit position, or absolute
      field value.
      
      Report the raw 64-byte error report as a sequence of u64s before the
      annotated version.
      
      Only report fields which are valid, given the context and the
      attribute bits which are set.
      
      For shutdown requests, use the local copy of the error report not the
      one we just freed up back to the queue.  Also, use orderly_poweroff()
      just like the Domain Services shutdown request code does.
      
      If the real-address reported is "-1" (unknown) try to disassemble the
      instruction to report the effective address of the access.  Only do
      this in privileged mode.

      sparc64: Support transparent huge pages. · 9e695d2e
      David Miller 提交于
      This is relatively easy since PMD's now cover exactly 4MB of memory.
      
      Our PMD entries are 32-bits each, so we use a special encoding.  The
      lowest bit, PMD_ISHUGE, determines the interpretation.  This is possible
      because sparc64's page tables are purely software entities so we can use
      whatever encoding scheme we want.  We just have to make the TLB miss
      assembler page table walkers aware of the layout.
      
      set_pmd_at() works much like set_pte_at() but it has to operate in two
      page from a table of non-huge PTEs, so we have to queue up TLB flushes
      based upon what mappings are valid in the PTE table.  In the second regime
      we are going from huge-page to non-huge-page, and in that case we need
      only queue up a single TLB flush to push out the huge page mapping.
      
      We still have 5 bits remaining in the huge PMD encoding so we can very
      likely support any new pieces of THP state tracking that might get added
      in the future.
      
      With lots of help from Johannes Weiner.

      mm: kill vma flag VM_RESERVED and mm->reserved_vm counter · 314e51b9
      Konstantin Khlebnikov 提交于
      A long time ago, in v2.4, VM_RESERVED kept swapout process off VMA,
      currently it lost original meaning but still has some effects:
      
       | effect                 | alternative flags
      -+------------------------+---------------------------------------------
      1| account as reserved_vm | VM_IO
      2| skip in core dump      | VM_IO, VM_DONTDUMP
      3| do not merge or expand | VM_IO, VM_DONTEXPAND, VM_HUGETLB, VM_PFNMAP
      4| do not mlock           | VM_IO, VM_DONTEXPAND, VM_HUGETLB, VM_PFNMAP
      
      This patch removes reserved_vm counter from mm_struct.  Seems like nobody
      cares about it, it does not exported into userspace directly, it only
      reduces total_vm showed in proc.
      
      Thus VM_RESERVED can be replaced with VM_IO or pair VM_DONTEXPAND | VM_DONTDUMP.
      
      remap_pfn_range() and io_remap_pfn_range() set VM_IO|VM_DONTEXPAND|VM_DONTDUMP.
      remap_vmalloc_range() set VM_DONTEXPAND | VM_DONTDUMP.

      sparc64: Niagara-4 bzero/memset, plus use MRU stores in page copy. · 9f825962
      David S. Miller 提交于
      This adds optimized memset/bzero/page-clear routines for Niagara-4.
      
      We basically can do what powerpc has been able to do for a decade (via
      the "dcbz" instruction), which is use cache line clearing stores for
      bzero and memsets with a 'c' argument of zero.
      
      As long as we make the cache initializing store to each 32-byte
      subblock of the L2 cache line, it works.
      
      As with other Niagara-4 optimized routines, the key is to make sure to
      avoid any usage of the %asi register, as reads and writes to it cost
      at least 50 cycles.
      
      For the user clear cases, we don't use these new routines, we use the
      Niagara-1 variants instead.  Those have to use %asi in an unavoidable
      way.
      
      A Niagara-4 8K page clear costs just under 600 cycles.
      
      Add definitions of the MRU variants of the cache initializing store
      ASIs.  By default, cache initializing stores install the line as Least
      Recently Used.  If we know we're going to use the data immediately
      (which is true for page copies and clears) we can use the Most
      Recently Used variant, to decrease the likelyhood of the lines being
      evicted before they get used.

      compat_siginfo_t in asm/compat.h on a several architectures (tile already

      compat: fs: Generic compat_sys_sendfile implementation · 8f9c0119
      Catalin Marinas 提交于
      This function is used by sparc, powerpc and arm64 for compat support.
      The patch adds a generic implementation which calls do_sendfile()
      directly and avoids set_fs().
      
      The sparc architecture has wrappers for the sign extensions while
      powerpc relies on the compiler to do the this. The patch adds wrappers
      for powerpc to handle the u32->int type conversion.
      
      compat_sys_sendfile64() can be replaced by a sys_sendfile() call since
      compat_loff_t has the same size as off_t on a 64-bit system.
      
      On powerpc, the patch also changes the 64-bit sendfile call from
      sys_sendile64 to sys_sendfile.

      4MB, 256MB, 2GB, and 16GB respectively.
      
      Enabling 2GB pages is currently hardcoded using a check against
      sun4v_chip_type.  In the future this will be done more cleanly
      by interrogating the machine description which is the correct
      way to determine this kind of thing.

      There are multiple errors in how sys_sparc64_personality() handles
      personality flags stored in top three bytes.
      
      - directly comparing current->personality against PER_LINUX32 doesn't work
        in cases when any of the personality flags stored in the top three bytes
        are used.
      - directly forcefully setting personality to PER_LINUX32 or PER_LINUX
        discards any flags stored in the top three bytes
      
      Fix the first one by properly using personality() macro to compare only

      overwriting the whole value.
