      xtables: add xt_match, xt_target and data copy_to_user functions · f32815d2
      Willem de Bruijn 提交于
      xt_entry_target, xt_entry_match and their private data may contain
      kernel data.
      
      Introduce helper functions xt_match_to_user, xt_target_to_user and
      xt_data_to_user that copy only the expected fields. These replace
      existing logic that calls copy_to_user on entire structs, then
      overwrites select fields.
      
      Private data is defined in xt_match and xt_target. All matches and
      targets that maintain kernel data store this at the tail of their
      private structure. Extend xt_match and xt_target with .usersize to
      limit how many bytes of data are copied. The remainder is cleared.
      
      If compatsize is specified, usersize can only safely be used if all
      fields up to usersize use platform-independent types. Otherwise, the
      compat_to_user callback must be defined.
      
      This patch does not yet enable the support logic.

      mm: add PageWaiters indicating tasks are waiting for a page bit · 62906027
      Nicholas Piggin 提交于
      Add a new page flag, PageWaiters, to indicate the page waitqueue has
      tasks waiting. This can be tested rather than testing waitqueue_active
      which requires another cacheline load.
      
      This bit is always set when the page has tasks on page_waitqueue(page),
      and is set and cleared under the waitqueue lock. It may be set when
      there are no tasks on the waitqueue, which will cause a harmless extra
      wakeup check that will clears the bit.
      
      The generic bit-waitqueue infrastructure is no longer used for pages.
      Instead, waitqueues are used directly with a custom key type. The
      generic code was not flexible enough to have PageWaiters manipulation
      under the waitqueue lock (which simplifies concurrency).
      
      This improves the performance of page lock intensive microbenchmarks by
      2-3%.
      
      Putting two bits in the same word opens the opportunity to remove the
      memory barrier between clearing the lock bit and testing the waiters
      bit, after some work on the arch primitives (e.g., ensuring memory
      operand widths match and cover both bits).

      mm: Use owner_priv bit for PageSwapCache, valid when PageSwapBacked · 6326fec1
      Nicholas Piggin 提交于
      A page is not added to the swap cache without being swap backed,
      so PageSwapBacked mappings can use PG_owner_priv_1 for PageSwapCache.

      ktime: Cleanup ktime_set() usage · 8b0e1953
      Thomas Gleixner 提交于
      ktime_set(S,N) was required for the timespec storage type and is still
      useful for situations where a Seconds and Nanoseconds part of a time value
      needs to be converted. For anything where the Seconds argument is 0, this
      is pointless and can be replaced with a simple assignment.

      ktime: Get rid of the union · 2456e855
      Thomas Gleixner 提交于
      ktime is a union because the initial implementation stored the time in
      scalar nanoseconds on 64 bit machine and in a endianess optimized timespec
      variant for 32bit machines. The Y2038 cleanup removed the timespec variant
      and switched everything to scalar nanoseconds. The union remained, but
      become completely pointless.
      
      Get rid of the union and just keep ktime_t as simple typedef of type s64.
      
      The conversion was done with coccinelle and some manual mopping up.
