      MM: Pass a PTE pointer to update_mmu_cache() rather than the PTE itself · 4b3073e1
      Russell King 提交于
      On VIVT ARM, when we have multiple shared mappings of the same file
      in the same MM, we need to ensure that we have coherency across all
      copies.  We do this via make_coherent() by making the pages
      uncacheable.
      
      This used to work fine, until we allowed highmem with highpte - we
      now have a page table which is mapped as required, and is not available
      for modification via update_mmu_cache().
      
      Ralf Beache suggested getting rid of the PTE value passed to
      update_mmu_cache():
      
        On MIPS update_mmu_cache() calls __update_tlb() which walks pagetables
        to construct a pointer to the pte again.  Passing a pte_t * is much
        more elegant.  Maybe we might even replace the pte argument with the
        pte_t?
      
      Ben Herrenschmidt would also like the pte pointer for PowerPC:
      
        Passing the ptep in there is exactly what I want.  I want that
        -instead- of the PTE value, because I have issue on some ppc cases,
        for I$/D$ coherency, where set_pte_at() may decide to mask out the
        _PAGE_EXEC.
      
      So, pass in the mapped page table pointer into update_mmu_cache(), and
      remove the PTE value, updating all implementations and call sites to
      suit.
      
      Includes a fix from Stephen Rothwell:

      sparc: cpumask_of_node() should handle -1 as a node · e5981fd6
      Anton Blanchard 提交于
      pcibus_to_node can return -1 if we cannot determine which node a pci bus
      is on. If passed -1, cpumask_of_node will negatively index the lookup array
      and pull in random data:
      
      # cat /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:01.0/local_cpus
      00000000,00000003,00000000,00000000
      # cat /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:01.0/local_cpulist
      64-65
      
      Change cpumask_of_node to check for -1 and return cpu_all_mask in this
      case:
      
      # cat /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:01.0/local_cpus
      ffffffff,ffffffff,ffffffff,ffffffff

      sparc: convert to arch_gettimeoffset() · 0299b137
      John Stultz 提交于
      This patch converts sparc (specifically sparc32) to use GENERIC_TIME via
      the arch_getoffset() infrastructure, reducing the amount of arch
      specific code we need to maintain.
      
      The sparc architecture is one of the last 3 arches that need to be
      converted.
      
      This patch applies on top of Linus' current -git tree
      
      I've taken my best swing at converting this, but I'm not 100% confident
      I got it right. My cross-compiler is now out of date (gcc4.2) so I
      wasn't able to check if it compiled. Any assistance from arch
      maintainers or testers to get this merged would be great.

      vfs: Implement proper O_SYNC semantics · 6b2f3d1f
      Christoph Hellwig 提交于
      While Linux provided an O_SYNC flag basically since day 1, it took until
      Linux 2.4.0-test12pre2 to actually get it implemented for filesystems,
      since that day we had generic_osync_around with only minor changes and the
      great "For now, when the user asks for O_SYNC, we'll actually give
      O_DSYNC" comment.  This patch intends to actually give us real O_SYNC
      semantics in addition to the O_DSYNC semantics.  After Jan's O_SYNC
      patches which are required before this patch it's actually surprisingly
      simple, we just need to figure out when to set the datasync flag to
      vfs_fsync_range and when not.
      
      This patch renames the existing O_SYNC flag to O_DSYNC while keeping it's
      numerical value to keep binary compatibility, and adds a new real O_SYNC
      flag.  To guarantee backwards compatiblity it is defined as expanding to
      both the O_DSYNC and the new additional binary flag (__O_SYNC) to make
      sure we are backwards-compatible when compiled against the new headers.
      
      This also means that all places that don't care about the differences can
      just check O_DSYNC and get the right behaviour for O_SYNC, too - only
      places that actuall care need to check __O_SYNC in addition.  Drivers and
      network filesystems have been updated in a fail safe way to always do the
      full sync magic if O_DSYNC is set.  The few places setting O_SYNC for
      lower layers are kept that way for now to stay failsafe.
      
      We enforce that O_DSYNC is set when __O_SYNC is set early in the open path
      to make sure we always get these sane options.
      
      Note that parisc really screwed up their headers as they already define a
      O_DSYNC that has always been a no-op.  We try to repair it by using it for
      the new O_DSYNC and redefinining O_SYNC to send both the traditional
      O_SYNC numerical value _and_ the O_DSYNC one.

      block: add helpers to run flush_dcache_page() against a bio and a request's pages · 2d4dc890
      Ilya Loginov 提交于
      Mtdblock driver doesn't call flush_dcache_page for pages in request.  So,
      this causes problems on architectures where the icache doesn't fill from
      the dcache or with dcache aliases.  The patch fixes this.
      
      The ARCH_IMPLEMENTS_FLUSH_DCACHE_PAGE symbol was introduced to avoid
      pointless empty cache-thrashing loops on architectures for which
      flush_dcache_page() is a no-op.  Every architecture was provided with this
      flush pages on architectires where ARCH_IMPLEMENTS_FLUSH_DCACHE_PAGE is
      equal 1 or do nothing otherwise.
      
      See "fix mtd_blkdevs problem with caches on some architectures" discussion
      on LKML for more information.

      net: Generalize socket rx gap / receive queue overflow cmsg · 3b885787
      Neil Horman 提交于
      Create a new socket level option to report number of queue overflows
      
      Recently I augmented the AF_PACKET protocol to report the number of frames lost
      on the socket receive queue between any two enqueued frames.  This value was
      exported via a SOL_PACKET level cmsg.  AFter I completed that work it was
      requested that this feature be generalized so that any datagram oriented socket
      could make use of this option.  As such I've created this patch, It creates a
      new SOL_SOCKET level option called SO_RXQ_OVFL, which when enabled exports a
      SOL_SOCKET level cmsg that reports the nubmer of times the sk_receive_queue
      overflowed between any two given frames.  It also augments the AF_PACKET
      protocol to take advantage of this new feature (as it previously did not touch
      sk->sk_drops, which this patch uses to record the overflow count).  Tested
      successfully by me.
      
      Notes:
      
      1) Unlike my previous patch, this patch simply records the sk_drops value, which
      is not a number of drops between packets, but rather a total number of drops.
      Deltas must be computed in user space.
      
      2) While this patch currently works with datagram oriented protocols, it will
      also be accepted by non-datagram oriented protocols. I'm not sure if thats
      agreeable to everyone, but my argument in favor of doing so is that, for those
      protocols which aren't applicable to this option, sk_drops will always be zero,
      and reporting no drops on a receive queue that isn't used for those
      non-participating protocols seems reasonable to me.  This also saves us having
      to code in a per-protocol opt in mechanism.
      
      3) This applies cleanly to net-next assuming that commit
      97775007 (my af packet cmsg patch) is reverted
