      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.

      sparc64: Fix deficiencies in sun4v error reporting. · f88620b9
      David S. Miller 提交于
      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.

      There are problems with how the flag bytes were rearranged, in
      particular we really can't move values down into the lowest
      16 bits since those are used for individual state bits.

      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: move compat_siginfo_t definition to asm/compat.h · 751f409d
      Denys Vlasenko 提交于
      This is a preparatory patch for the introduction of NT_SIGINFO elf note.
      
      Make the location of compat_siginfo_t uniform across eight architectures
      which have it.  Now it can be pulled in by including asm/compat.h or
      linux/compat.h.
      
      Most of the copies are verbatim.  compat_uid[32]_t had to be replaced by
      __compat_uid[32]_t.  compat_uptr_t had to be moved up before
      compat_siginfo_t in asm/compat.h on a several architectures (tile already
      had it moved up).  compat_sigval_t had to be relocated from linux/compat.h
      to asm/compat.h.

      cross-arch: don't corrupt personality flags upon exec() · 16f3e95b
      Jiri Kosina 提交于
      Historically, the top three bytes of personality have been used for
      things such as ADDR_NO_RANDOMIZE, which made sense only for specific
      architectures.
      
      We now however have a flag there that is general no matter the
      architecture (UNAME26); generally we have to be careful to preserve the
      personality flags across exec().
      
      This patch tries to fix all architectures that forcefully overwrite
      personality flags during exec() (ppc32 and s390 have been fixed recently
      by commits f9783ec8 ("[S390] Do not clobber personality flags on
      exec") and 59e4c3a2 ("powerpc/32: Don't clobber personality flags on
      exec") in a similar way already).

      Make most arch asm/module.h files use asm-generic/module.h · 786d35d4
      David Howells 提交于
      Use the mapping of Elf_[SPE]hdr, Elf_Addr, Elf_Sym, Elf_Dyn, Elf_Rel/Rela,
      ELF_R_TYPE() and ELF_R_SYM() to either the 32-bit version or the 64-bit version
      into asm-generic/module.h for all arches bar MIPS.
      
      Also, use the generic definition mod_arch_specific where possible.
      
      To this end, I've defined three new config bools:
      
       (*) HAVE_MOD_ARCH_SPECIFIC
      
           Arches define this if they don't want to use the empty generic
           mod_arch_specific struct.
      
       (*) MODULES_USE_ELF_RELA
      
           Arches define this if their modules can contain RELA records.  This causes
           the Elf_Rela mapping to be emitted and allows apply_relocate_add() to be
           defined by the arch rather than have the core emit an error message.
      
       (*) MODULES_USE_ELF_REL
      
           Arches define this if their modules can contain REL records.  This causes
           the Elf_Rel mapping to be emitted and allows apply_relocate() to be
           defined by the arch rather than have the core emit an error message.
      
      Note that it is possible to allow both REL and RELA records: m68k and mips are
      two arches that do this.
      
      With this, some arch asm/module.h files can be deleted entirely and replaced
      with a generic-y marker in the arch Kbuild file.
      
      Additionally, I have removed the bits from m32r and score that handle the
      unsupported type of relocation record as that's now handled centrally.
