      MIPS: Partially disable RIXI support. · 55fdcb2d
      Ralf Baechle 提交于
      Execution of break instruction, trap instructions, emulation of unaligned
      loads or floating point instructions - anything that tries to read the
      instruction's opcode from userspace - needs read access to a page.
      
      RIXI (Read Inhibit / Execute Inhibit) support however allows the creation of
      pags that are executable but not readable.  On such a mapping the attempted
      load of the opcode by the kernel is going to cause an endless loop of
      page faults.
      
      The quick workaround for this is to disable the combinations that the kernel
      currently isn't able to handle which are executable mappings.

      MIPS: Fix race condition in lazy cache flushing. · 4d46a67a
      Lars Persson 提交于
      The lazy cache flushing implemented in the MIPS kernel suffers from a
      race condition that is exposed by do_set_pte() in mm/memory.c.
      
      A pre-condition is a file-system that writes to the page from the CPU
      in its readpage method and then calls flush_dcache_page(). One example
      is ubifs. Another pre-condition is that the dcache flush is postponed
      in __flush_dcache_page().
      
      Upon a page fault for an executable mapping not existing in the
      page-cache, the following will happen:
      1. Write to the page
      2. flush_dcache_page
      3. flush_icache_page
      4. set_pte_at
      5. update_mmu_cache (commits the flush of a dcache-dirty page)
      
      Between steps 4 and 5 another thread can hit the same page and it will
      encounter a valid pte. Because the data still is in the L1 dcache the CPU
      will fetch stale data from L2 into the icache and execute garbage.
      
      This fix moves the commit of the cache flush to step 3 to close the
      race window. It also reduces the amount of flushes on non-executable
      mappings because we never enter __flush_dcache_page() for non-aliasing
      CPUs.
      
      Regressions can occur in drivers that mistakenly relies on the
      flush_dcache_page() in get_user_pages() for DMA operations.

      MIPS: Remove race window in page fault handling · 4b34cdde
      Lars Persson 提交于
      Multicore MIPSes without I/D hardware coherency suffered from a race
      condition in the page fault handler. The page table entry was
      published before any pending lazy D-cache flush was committed, hence
      it allowed execution of stale page cache data by other VPEs in the
      system.
      
      To make the cache handling safe we need to perform flushing already in
      the set_pte_at function. MIPSes without coherent I-caches can get a
      small increase in flushes due to the unavailability of the execute
      flag in set_pte_at.

      MIPS: Delete __cpuinit/__CPUINIT usage from MIPS code · 078a55fc
      Paul Gortmaker 提交于
      commit 3747069b25e419f6b51395f48127e9812abc3596 upstream.
      
      The __cpuinit type of throwaway sections might have made sense
      some time ago when RAM was more constrained, but now the savings
      do not offset the cost and complications.  For example, the fix in
      commit 5e427ec2 ("x86: Fix bit corruption at CPU resume time")
      is a good example of the nasty type of bugs that can be created
      with improper use of the various __init prefixes.
      
      After a discussion on LKML[1] it was decided that cpuinit should go
      the way of devinit and be phased out.  Once all the users are gone,
      we can then finally remove the macros themselves from linux/init.h.
      
      Note that some harmless section mismatch warnings may result, since
      notify_cpu_starting() and cpu_up() are arch independent (kernel/cpu.c)
      and are flagged as __cpuinit  -- so if we remove the __cpuinit from
      the arch specific callers, we will also get section mismatch warnings.
      As an intermediate step, we intend to turn the linux/init.h cpuinit
      related content into no-ops as early as possible, since that will get
      rid of these warnings.  In any case, they are temporary and harmless.
      
      Here, we remove all the MIPS __cpuinit from C code and __CPUINIT
      from asm files.  MIPS is interesting in this respect, because there
      are also uasm users hiding behind their own renamed versions of the
      __cpuinit macros.

      MIPS: Fix __vmalloc() etc. on MIPS for non-GPL modules · 7b3e543d
      Anton Altaparmakov 提交于
      Commit b3594a089f1c17ff919f8f78505c3f20e1f6f8ce (lmo) rsp.
      35133692 (kernel.org) break non-GPL modules
      that use __vmalloc() or any of the vmap(), vm_map_ram(), etc functions on
      MIPS.
      
      All those functions are EXPORT_SYMBOL() so are meant to be allowed to be
      used by non-GPL kernel modules.  These calls all take page protection as
      an argument which is normally a constant like PAGE_KERNEL.
      
      This commit causes all protection constants like PAGE_KERNEL to not be
      constants and instead to contain the GPL-only symbol _page_cachable_default.
      
      This means that all calls to __vmalloc(), vmap(), etc, cause non-GPL
      modules to fail to link with the complaint that they are trying to use the
      GPL-only symbol _page_cachable_default...
      
      Change EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(_page_cachable_default) to EXPORT_SYMBOL() for
      non-GPL modules that call __vmalloc(), vmap(), vm_map_ram() etc.

      MIPS: Implement Read Inhibit/eXecute Inhibit · 6dd9344c
      David Daney 提交于
      The SmartMIPS ASE specifies how Read Inhibit (RI) and eXecute Inhibit
      (XI) bits in the page tables work.  The upper two bits of EntryLo{0,1}
      are RI and XI when the feature is enabled in the PageGrain register.
      SmartMIPS only covers 32-bit systems.  Cavium Octeon+ extends this to
      64-bit systems by continuing to place the RI and XI bits in the top of
      EntryLo even when EntryLo is 64-bits wide.
      
      Because we need to carry the RI and XI bits in the PTE, the layout of
      the PTE is changed.  There is a two instruction overhead in the TLB
      refill hot path to get the EntryLo bits into the proper position.
      Also the TLB load exception has to probe the TLB to check if RI or XI
      caused the exception.
      
      Also of note is that the layout of the PTE bits is done at compile and
      runtime rather than statically.  In the 32-bit case this allows for
      the same number of PFN bits as before the patch as the _PAGE_HUGE is
      not supported in 32-bit kernels (we have _PAGE_NO_EXEC and
      _PAGE_NO_READ instead of _PAGE_READ and _PAGE_HUGE).
      
      The patch is tested on Cavium Octeon+, but should also work on 32-bit
      systems with the Smart-MIPS ASE.

      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.

      [PATCH] extend the set of "__attribute__" shortcut macros · 82ddcb04
      Robert P. J. Day 提交于
      Extend the set of "__attribute__" shortcut macros, and remove identical
      (and now superfluous) definitions from a couple of source files.
      
      based on a page at robert love's blog:
      
      	http://rlove.org/log/2005102601
      
      extend the set of shortcut macros defined in compiler-gcc.h with the
      following:
      
      #define __packed                       __attribute__((packed))
      #define __weak                         __attribute__((weak))
      #define __naked                        __attribute__((naked))
      #define __noreturn                     __attribute__((noreturn))
      #define __pure                         __attribute__((pure))
      #define __aligned(x)                   __attribute__((aligned(x)))
      #define __printf(a,b)                  __attribute__((format(printf,a,b)))
      
      Once these are in place, it's up to subsystem maintainers to decide if they
      want to take advantage of them.  there is already a strong precedent for
      using shortcuts like this in the source tree.
      
      The ones that might give people pause are "__aligned" and "__printf", but
      shortcuts for both of those are already in use, and in some ways very
      confusingly.  note the two very different definitions for a macro named
      "ALIGNED":
      
        drivers/net/sgiseeq.c:#define ALIGNED(x) ((((unsigned long)(x)) + 0xf) & ~(0xf))
        drivers/scsi/ultrastor.c:#define ALIGNED(x) __attribute__((aligned(x)))
      
      also:
      
        include/acpi/platform/acgcc.h:
          #define ACPI_PRINTF_LIKE(c) __attribute__ ((__format__ (__printf__, c, c+1)))
      
      Given the precedent, then, it seems logical to at least standardize on a
      consistent set of these macros.
