      sparc: Remove old style signal frame support. · 5526b7e4
      David S. Miller 提交于
      Back around the same time we were bootstrapping the first 32-bit sparc
      Linux kernel with a SunOS userland, we made the signal frame match
      that of SunOS.
      
      By the time we even started putting together a native Linux userland
      for 32-bit Sparc we realized this layout wasn't sufficient for Linux's
      needs.
      
      Therefore we changed the layout, yet kept support for the old style
      signal frame layout in there.  The detection mechanism is that we had
      sys_sigaction() start passing in a negative signal number to indicate
      "new style signal frames please".
      
      Anyways, no binaries exist in the world that use the old stuff.  In
      fact, I bet Jakub Jelinek and myself are the only two people who ever
      had such binaries to be honest.
      
      So let's get rid of this stuff.
      
      I added an assertion using WARN_ON_ONCE() that makes sure 32-bit
      applications are passing in that negative signal number still.

      [SPARC]: Fix several regset and ptrace bugs. · d786a4a6
      David S. Miller 提交于
      1) ptrace should pass 'current' to task_user_regset_view()
      
      2) When fetching general registers using a 64-bit view, and
         the target is 32-bit, we have to convert.
      
      3) Skip the whole register window get/set code block if
         the user isn't asking to access anything in there.
      
         Otherwise we have problems if the user doesn't have
         an address space setup.  Fetching ptrace register is
         still valid at such a time, and ptrace does not try
         to access the register window area of the regset.

      xtime_lock vs update_process_times · aa02cd2d
      Peter Zijlstra 提交于
      Commit d3d74453 ("hrtimer: fixup the
      HRTIMER_CB_IRQSAFE_NO_SOFTIRQ fallback") broke several archs, and since
      only Russell bothered to merge the fix, and Greg to ACK his arch, I'm
      sending this for merger.
      
      I have confirmation that the Alpha bit results in a booting kernel.
      That leaves: blackfin, frv, sh and sparc untested.
      
      The deadlock in question was found by Russell:
      
        IRQ handle
          -> timer_tick() - xtime seqlock held for write
            -> update_process_times()
              -> run_local_timers()
                -> hrtimer_run_queues()
                  -> hrtimer_get_softirq_time() - tries to get a read lock
      
      Now, Thomas assures me the fix is trivial, only do_timer() needs to be
      done under the xtime_lock, and update_process_times() can savely be
      removed from under it.

      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.

      Introduce flags for reserve_bootmem() · 72a7fe39
      Bernhard Walle 提交于
      This patchset adds a flags variable to reserve_bootmem() and uses the

      This patch:
      
      Change the reserve_bootmem() function to accept a new flag BOOTMEM_EXCLUSIVE.
      If that flag is set, the function returns with -EBUSY if the memory already
      has been reserved in the past.  This is to avoid conflicts.
      
      Because that code runs before SMP initialisation, there's no race condition
      inside reserve_bootmem_core().

      timerfd: new timerfd API · 4d672e7a
      Davide Libenzi 提交于
      This is the new timerfd API as it is implemented by the following patch:
      
      int timerfd_create(int clockid, int flags);
      int timerfd_settime(int ufd, int flags,
      		    const struct itimerspec *utmr,
      		    struct itimerspec *otmr);
      int timerfd_gettime(int ufd, struct itimerspec *otmr);
      
      The timerfd_create() API creates an un-programmed timerfd fd.  The "clockid"
      parameter can be either CLOCK_MONOTONIC or CLOCK_REALTIME.
      
      The timerfd_settime() API give new settings by the timerfd fd, by optionally
      retrieving the previous expiration time (in case the "otmr" parameter is not
      NULL).
      
      The time value specified in "utmr" is absolute, if the TFD_TIMER_ABSTIME bit
      is set in the "flags" parameter.  Otherwise it's a relative time.
      
      The timerfd_gettime() API returns the next expiration time of the timer, or
      {0, 0} if the timerfd has not been set yet.
      
      Like the previous timerfd API implementation, read(2) and poll(2) are
      supported (with the same interface).  Here's a simple test program I used to
      exercise the new timerfd APIs:
