      powerpc: Add a proper syscall for switching endianness · 529d235a
      Michael Ellerman 提交于
      We currently have a "special" syscall for switching endianness. This is
      syscall number 0x1ebe, which is handled explicitly in the 64-bit syscall
      exception entry.
      
      That has a few problems, firstly the syscall number is outside of the
      usual range, which confuses various tools. For example strace doesn't
      recognise the syscall at all.
      
      Secondly it's handled explicitly as a special case in the syscall
      exception entry, which is complicated enough without it.
      
      As a first step toward removing the special syscall, we need to add a
      regular syscall that implements the same functionality.
      
      The logic is simple, it simply toggles the MSR_LE bit in the userspace
      MSR. This is the same as the special syscall, with the caveat that the
      special syscall clobbers fewer registers.
      
      This version clobbers r9-r12, XER, CTR, and CR0-1,5-7.

      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.

      Cross Memory Attach · fcf63409
      Christopher Yeoh 提交于
      The basic idea behind cross memory attach is to allow MPI programs doing
      intra-node communication to do a single copy of the message rather than a
      double copy of the message via shared memory.
      
      The following patch attempts to achieve this by allowing a destination
      process, given an address and size from a source process, to copy memory
      directly from the source process into its own address space via a system
      call.  There is also a symmetrical ability to copy from the current
      process's address space into a destination process's address space.
      
      - Use of /proc/pid/mem has been considered, but there are issues with
        using it:
        - Does not allow for specifying iovecs for both src and dest, assuming
          preadv or pwritev was implemented either the area read from or
        written to would need to be contiguous.
        - Currently mem_read allows only processes who are currently
        ptrace'ing the target and are still able to ptrace the target to read
        from the target. This check could possibly be moved to the open call,
        but its not clear exactly what race this restriction is stopping
        (reason  appears to have been lost)
        - Having to send the fd of /proc/self/mem via SCM_RIGHTS on unix
        domain socket is a bit ugly from a userspace point of view,
        especially when you may have hundreds if not (eventually) thousands
        of processes  that all need to do this with each other
        - Doesn't allow for some future use of the interface we would like to
        consider adding in the future (see below)
        - Interestingly reading from /proc/pid/mem currently actually
        involves two copies! (But this could be fixed pretty easily)
      
      As mentioned previously use of vmsplice instead was considered, but has
      problems.  Since you need the reader and writer working co-operatively if
      the pipe is not drained then you block.  Which requires some wrapping to
      do non blocking on the send side or polling on the receive.  In all to all
      communication it requires ordering otherwise you can deadlock.  And in the
      example of many MPI tasks writing to one MPI task vmsplice serialises the
      copying.
      
      There are some cases of MPI collectives where even a single copy interface
      does not get us the performance gain we could.  For example in an
      MPI_Reduce rather than copy the data from the source we would like to
      instead use it directly in a mathops (say the reduce is doing a sum) as
      this would save us doing a copy.  We don't need to keep a copy of the data
      from the source.  I haven't implemented this, but I think this interface
      could in the future do all this through the use of the flags - eg could
      specify the math operation and type and the kernel rather than just
      copying the data would apply the specified operation between the source
      and destination and store it in the destination.
      
      Although we don't have a "second user" of the interface (though I've had
      some nibbles from people who may be interested in using it for intra
      process messaging which is not MPI).  This interface is something which
      hardware vendors are already doing for their custom drivers to implement
      fast local communication.  And so in addition to this being useful for
      OpenMPI it would mean the driver maintainers don't have to fix things up
      when the mm changes.
      
      There was some discussion about how much faster a true zero copy would
      go. Here's a link back to the email with some testing I did on that:
      
      http://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=130105930902915&w=2
      
      There is a basic man page for the proposed interface here:
      
      http://ozlabs.org/~cyeoh/cma/process_vm_readv.txt
      
      This has been implemented for x86 and powerpc, other architecture should
      mainly (I think) just need to add syscall numbers for the process_vm_readv
      and process_vm_writev. There are 32 bit compatibility versions for
      64-bit kernels.
      
      For arch maintainers there are some simple tests to be able to quickly
      verify that the syscalls are working correctly here:

      ns: Wire up the setns system call · 7b21fddd
      Eric W. Biederman 提交于
      32bit and 64bit on x86 are tested and working.  The rest I have looked
      at closely and I can't find any problems.
      
      setns is an easy system call to wire up.  It just takes two ints so I
      don't expect any weird architecture porting problems.
      
      While doing this I have noticed that we have some architectures that are
      very slow to get new system calls.  cris seems to be the slowest where
      the last system calls wired up were preadv and pwritev.  avr32 is weird
      in that recvmmsg was wired up but never declared in unistd.h.  frv is
      behind with perf_event_open being the last syscall wired up.  On h8300
      the last system call wired up was epoll_wait.  On m32r the last system
      call wired up was fallocate.  mn10300 has recvmmsg as the last system
      call wired up.  The rest seem to at least have syncfs wired up which was
      new in the 2.6.39.
      
      v2: Most of the architecture support added by Daniel Lezcano <dlezcano@fr.ibm.com>
      v3: ported to v2.6.36-rc4 by: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xmission.com>
      v4: Moved wiring up of the system call to another patch
      v5: ported to v2.6.39-rc6
      v6: rebased onto parisc-next and net-next to avoid syscall  conflicts.
      v7: ported to Linus's latest post 2.6.39 tree.

      Add generic sys_olduname() · 5cacdb4a
      Christoph Hellwig 提交于
      Add generic implementations of the old and really old uname system calls.
      Note that sh only implements sys_olduname but not sys_oldolduname, but I'm
      not going to bother with another ifdef for that special case.
      
      m32r implemented an old uname but never wired it up, so kill it, too.

      Add generic sys_ipc wrapper · baed7fc9
      Christoph Hellwig 提交于
      Add a generic implementation of the ipc demultiplexer syscall.  Except for
      s390 and sparc64 all implementations of the sys_ipc are nearly identical.
      
      There are slight differences in the types of the parameters, where mips
      and powerpc as the only 64-bit architectures with sys_ipc use unsigned
      long for the "third" argument as it gets casted to a pointer later, while
      it traditionally is an "int" like most other paramters.  frv goes even
      further and uses unsigned long for all parameters execept for "ptr" which
      is a pointer type everywhere.  The change from int to unsigned long for
      "third" and back to "int" for the others on frv should be fine due to the
      in-register calling conventions for syscalls (we already had a similar
      issue with the generic sys_ptrace), but I'd prefer to have the arch
      maintainers looks over this in details.
      
      Except for that h8300, m68k and m68knommu lack an impplementation of the
      semtimedop sub call which this patch adds, and various architectures have
      gets used - at least on i386 it seems superflous as the compat code on
      x86-64 and ia64 doesn't even bother to implement it.

      perf: Do the big rename: Performance Counters -> Performance Events · cdd6c482
      Ingo Molnar 提交于
      Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events!
      
      In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its
      initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is
      becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging,
      monitoring, analysis facility.
      
      Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem
      'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending
      code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and
      less appropriate.
      
      All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance
      events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables
      and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion)
      
      The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes
      it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well.
      
      Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and
      suggested a rename.
      
      User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch
      should be function-invariant. (Also, defconfigs were not touched to
      keep the size down.)
      
      This patch has been generated via the following script:
      
        FILES=$(find * -type f | grep -vE 'oprofile|[^K]config')
      
        sed -i \
          -e 's/PERF_EVENT_/PERF_RECORD_/g' \
          -e 's/PERF_COUNTER/PERF_EVENT/g' \
          -e 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g' \
          -e 's/nb_counters/nb_events/g' \
          -e 's/swcounter/swevent/g' \
          -e 's/tpcounter_event/tp_event/g' \
          $FILES
      
        for N in $(find . -name perf_counter.[ch]); do
          M=$(echo $N | sed 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g')
          mv $N $M
        done
      
        FILES=$(find . -name perf_event.*)
      
        sed -i \
          -e 's/COUNTER_MASK/REG_MASK/g' \
          -e 's/COUNTER/EVENT/g' \
          -e 's/\<event\>/event_id/g' \
          -e 's/counter/event/g' \
          -e 's/Counter/Event/g' \
          $FILES
      
      ... to keep it as correct as possible. This script can also be
      used by anyone who has pending perfcounters patches - it converts
      a Linux kernel tree over to the new naming. We tried to time this
      change to the point in time where the amount of pending patches
      is the smallest: the end of the merge window.
      
      Namespace clashes were fixed up in a preparatory patch - and some
      stylistic fallout will be fixed up in a subsequent patch.
      
      ( NOTE: 'counters' are still the proper terminology when we deal
        with hardware registers - and these sed scripts are a bit
        over-eager in renaming them. I've undone some of that, but
        in case there's something left where 'counter' would be
        better than 'event' we can undo that on an individual basis
        instead of touching an otherwise nicely automated patch. )
