      CONFIG_HIGHPTE vs. sub-page page tables. · 2f569afd
      Martin Schwidefsky 提交于
      Background: I've implemented 1K/2K page tables for s390.  These sub-page
      page tables are required to properly support the s390 virtualization
      instruction with KVM.  The SIE instruction requires that the page tables
      have 256 page table entries (pte) followed by 256 page status table entries
      (pgste).  The pgstes are only required if the process is using the SIE
      instruction.  The pgstes are updated by the hardware and by the hypervisor
      for a number of reasons, one of them is dirty and reference bit tracking.
      To avoid wasting memory the standard pte table allocation should return
      1K/2K (31/64 bit) and 2K/4K if the process is using SIE.
      
      Problem: Page size on s390 is 4K, page table size is 1K or 2K.  That means
      the s390 version for pte_alloc_one cannot return a pointer to a struct
      page.  Trouble is that with the CONFIG_HIGHPTE feature on x86 pte_alloc_one
      cannot return a pointer to a pte either, since that would require more than
      32 bit for the return value of pte_alloc_one (and the pte * would not be
      accessible since its not kmapped).
      
      Solution: The only solution I found to this dilemma is a new typedef: a
      pgtable_t.  For s390 pgtable_t will be a (pte *) - to be introduced with a
      later patch.  For everybody else it will be a (struct page *).  The
      additional problem with the initialization of the ptl lock and the
      NR_PAGETABLE accounting is solved with a constructor pgtable_page_ctor and
      a destructor pgtable_page_dtor.  The page table allocation and free
      functions need to call these two whenever a page table page is allocated or
      freed.  pmd_populate will get a pgtable_t instead of a struct page pointer.
       To get the pgtable_t back from a pmd entry that has been installed with
      pmd_populate a new function pmd_pgtable is added.  It replaces the pmd_page
      call in free_pte_range and apply_to_pte_range.

      avoid overflows in kernel/time.c · bdc80787
      H. Peter Anvin 提交于
      When the conversion factor between jiffies and milli- or microseconds is
      not a single multiply or divide, as for the case of HZ == 300, we currently
      do a multiply followed by a divide.  The intervening result, however, is
      subject to overflows, especially since the fraction is not simplified (for
      HZ == 300, we multiply by 300 and divide by 1000).
      
      This is exposed to the user when passing a large timeout to poll(), for
      example.
      
      This patch replaces the multiply-divide with a reciprocal multiplication on
      32-bit platforms.  When the input is an unsigned long, there is no portable
      way to do this on 64-bit platforms there is no portable way to do this
      since it requires a 128-bit intermediate result (which gcc does support on
      64-bit platforms but may generate libgcc calls, e.g.  on 64-bit s390), but
      since the output is a 32-bit integer in the cases affected, just simplify
      the multiply-divide (*3/10 instead of *300/1000).
      
      The reciprocal multiply used can have off-by-one errors in the upper half
      of the valid output range.  This could be avoided at the expense of having
      to deal with a potential 65-bit intermediate result.  Since the intent is
      to avoid overflow problems and most of the other time conversions are only
      semiexact, the off-by-one errors were considered an acceptable tradeoff.
      
      At Ralf Baechle's suggestion, this version uses a Perl script to compute
      the necessary constants.  We already have dependencies on Perl for kernel
      compiles.  This does, however, require the Perl module Math::BigInt, which
      is included in the standard Perl distribution starting with version 5.8.0.
      In order to support older versions of Perl, include a table of canned
      constants in the script itself, and structure the script so that
      Math::BigInt isn't required if pulling values from said table.
      
      Running the script requires that the HZ value is available from the
      Makefile.  Thus, this patch also adds the Kconfig variable CONFIG_HZ to the
      architectures which didn't already have it (alpha, cris, frv, h8300, m32r,
      m68k, m68knommu, sparc, v850, and xtensa.) It does *not* touch the sh or
      sh64 architectures, since Paul Mundt has dealt with those separately in the
      sh tree.

      aout: suppress A.OUT library support if !CONFIG_ARCH_SUPPORTS_AOUT · 7fa30315
      David Howells 提交于
      Suppress A.OUT library support if CONFIG_ARCH_SUPPORTS_AOUT is not set.
      
      Not all architectures support the A.OUT binfmt, so the ELF binfmt should not
      be permitted to go looking for A.OUT libraries to load in such a case.  Not
      only that, but under such conditions A.OUT core dumps are not produced either.
      
      To make this work, this patch also does the following:
      
       (1) Makes the existence of the contents of linux/a.out.h contingent on
           CONFIG_ARCH_SUPPORTS_AOUT.
      
       (2) Renames dump_thread() to aout_dump_thread() as it's only called by A.OUT
           core dumping code.
      
       (3) Moves aout_dump_thread() into asm/a.out-core.h and makes it inline.  This
           is then included only where needed.  This means that this bit of arch
           code will be stored in the appropriate A.OUT binfmt module rather than
           the core kernel.
      
       (4) Drops A.OUT support for Blackfin (according to Mike Frysinger it's not
           needed) and FRV.
      
      This patch depends on the previous patch to move STACK_TOP[_MAX] out of
      asm/a.out.h and into asm/processor.h as they're required whether or not A.OUT
      format is available.

      alpha: build fixes · 9548b209
      Ivan Kokshaysky 提交于
      This fixes some of the alpha-specific build problems, except a) modpost
      warning about COMMON symbol "saved_config" and b) nasty final link
      failure with gcc-4.x, -Os and scsi-disk driver configured built-in
      (due to jump table in .rodata referencing discarded .exit.text).
      
      - build failure with gcc-4.2.x: fix up casts in cia_io* routines to avoid
        warnings ('discards qualifiers from pointer target type'), which are
        failures, thanks to -Werror;
      - modpost warnings: add missing __init qualifier for titan and marvel;
        for non-generic build, move machine vectors from .data to .data.init.refok
        section;
      - unbreak CPU-specific optimization: rearrange cpuflags-y assignments
        so that extended -mcpu value (ev56, pca56, ev67) overrides basic
        one (ev5, ev6) and not vice versa.

      Change table chaining layout · 18dabf47
      Jens Axboe 提交于
      Change the page member of the scatterlist structure to be an unsigned
      long, and encode more stuff in the lower bits:
      
      - Bits 0 and 1 zero: this is a normal sg entry. Next sg entry is located
        at sg + 1.
      - Bit 0 set: this is a chain entry, the next real entry is at ->page_link
        with the two low bits masked off.
      - Bit 1 set: this is the final entry in the sg entry. sg_next() will return
        NULL when passed such an entry.
      
      It's thus important that sg table users use the proper accessors to get
      and set the page member.
