      irq_work: Add generic hardirq context callbacks · e360adbe
      Peter Zijlstra 提交于
      Provide a mechanism that allows running code in IRQ context. It is
      most useful for NMI code that needs to interact with the rest of the
      system -- like wakeup a task to drain buffers.
      
      Perf currently has such a mechanism, so extract that and provide it as
      a generic feature, independent of perf so that others may also
      benefit.
      
      The IRQ context callback is generated through self-IPIs where
      possible, or on architectures like powerpc the decrementer (the
      built-in timer facility) is set to generate an interrupt immediately.
      
      Architectures that don't have anything like this get to do with a
      callback from the timer tick. These architectures can call
      irq_work_run() at the tail of any IRQ handlers that might enqueue such
      work (like the perf IRQ handler) to avoid undue latencies in
      processing the work.

      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.

      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.

      dma-mapping: unify dma_get_cache_alignment implementations · 4565f017
      FUJITA Tomonori 提交于
      dma_get_cache_alignment returns the minimum DMA alignment.  Architectures
      defines it as ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN (formally ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN).  So we
      can unify dma_get_cache_alignment implementations.
      
      Note that some architectures implement dma_get_cache_alignment wrongly.
      dma_get_cache_alignment() should return the minimum DMA alignment.  So

      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 *?

      ptrace: move user_enable_single_step & co prototypes to linux/ptrace.h · dacbe41f
      Christoph Hellwig 提交于
      While in theory user_enable_single_step/user_disable_single_step/
      user_enable_blockstep could also be provided as an inline or macro there's
      no good reason to do so, and having the prototype in one places keeps code
      size and confusion down.
      
      Roland said:
      
        The original thought there was that user_enable_single_step() et al
        might well be only an instruction or three on a sane machine (as if we
        have any of those!), and since there is only one call site inlining
        would be beneficial.  But I agree that there is no strong reason to care
        about inlining it.
      
        As to the arch changes, there is only one thought I'd add to the
        record.  It was always my thinking that for an arch where
        PTRACE_SINGLESTEP does text-modifying breakpoint insertion,
        user_enable_single_step() should not be provided.  That is,
        arch_has_single_step()=>true means that there is an arch facility with
        "pure" semantics that does not have any unexpected side effects.
        Inserting a breakpoint might do very unexpected strange things in
        multi-threaded situations.  Aside from that, it is a peculiar side
        effect that user_{enable,disable}_single_step() should cause COW
        de-sharing of text pages and so forth.  For PTRACE_SINGLESTEP, all these
        peculiarities are the status quo ante for that arch, so having
        arch_ptrace() itself do those is one thing.  But for building other
        things in the future, it is nicer to have a uniform "pure" semantics
        that arch-independent code can expect.
      
        OTOH, all such arch issues are really up to the arch maintainer.  As
        of today, there is nothing but ptrace using user_enable_single_step() et
        al so it's a distinction without a practical difference.  If/when there
        are other facilities that use user_enable_single_step() and might care,
        the affected arch's can revisit the question when someone cares about
        the quality of the arch support for said new facility.

      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.

      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.
