      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.

      net: Generalize socket rx gap / receive queue overflow cmsg · 3b885787
      Neil Horman 提交于
      Create a new socket level option to report number of queue overflows
      
      Recently I augmented the AF_PACKET protocol to report the number of frames lost
      on the socket receive queue between any two enqueued frames.  This value was
      exported via a SOL_PACKET level cmsg.  AFter I completed that work it was
      requested that this feature be generalized so that any datagram oriented socket
      could make use of this option.  As such I've created this patch, It creates a
      new SOL_SOCKET level option called SO_RXQ_OVFL, which when enabled exports a
      SOL_SOCKET level cmsg that reports the nubmer of times the sk_receive_queue
      overflowed between any two given frames.  It also augments the AF_PACKET
      protocol to take advantage of this new feature (as it previously did not touch
      sk->sk_drops, which this patch uses to record the overflow count).  Tested
      successfully by me.
      
      Notes:
      
      1) Unlike my previous patch, this patch simply records the sk_drops value, which
      is not a number of drops between packets, but rather a total number of drops.
      Deltas must be computed in user space.
      
      2) While this patch currently works with datagram oriented protocols, it will
      also be accepted by non-datagram oriented protocols. I'm not sure if thats
      agreeable to everyone, but my argument in favor of doing so is that, for those
      protocols which aren't applicable to this option, sk_drops will always be zero,
      and reporting no drops on a receive queue that isn't used for those
      non-participating protocols seems reasonable to me.  This also saves us having
      to code in a per-protocol opt in mechanism.
      
      3) This applies cleanly to net-next assuming that commit
      97775007 (my af packet cmsg patch) is reverted

      net: implement a SO_DOMAIN getsockoption · 0d6038ee
      Jan Engelhardt 提交于
      This sockopt goes in line with SO_TYPE and SO_PROTOCOL. It makes it
      possible for userspace programs to pass around file descriptors — I
      am referring to arguments-to-functions, but it may even work for the
      fd passing over UNIX sockets — without needing to also pass the
      auxiliary information (PF_INET6/IPPROTO_TCP).

      net: implement a SO_PROTOCOL getsockoption · 49c794e9
      Jan Engelhardt 提交于
      Similar to SO_TYPE returning the socket type, SO_PROTOCOL allows to
      retrieve the protocol used with a given socket.
      
      I am not quite sure why we have that-many copies of socket.h, and why
      the values are not the same on all arches either, but for where hex
      numbers dominate, I use 0x1029 for SO_PROTOCOL as that seems to be
      the next free unused number across a bunch of operating systems, or
      so Google results make me want to believe. SO_PROTOCOL for others
      just uses the next free Linux number, 38.

      mm: Pass virtual address to [__]p{te,ud,md}_free_tlb() · 9e1b32ca
      Benjamin Herrenschmidt 提交于
      mm: Pass virtual address to [__]p{te,ud,md}_free_tlb()
      
      Upcoming paches to support the new 64-bit "BookE" powerpc architecture
      will need to have the virtual address corresponding to PTE page when
      freeing it, due to the way the HW table walker works.
      
      Basically, the TLB can be loaded with "large" pages that cover the whole
      virtual space (well, sort-of, half of it actually) represented by a PTE
      page, and which contain an "indirect" bit indicating that this TLB entry
      RPN points to an array of PTEs from which the TLB can then create direct
      entries. Thus, in order to invalidate those when PTE pages are deleted,
      we need the virtual address to pass to tlbilx or tlbivax instructions.
      
      The old trick of sticking it somewhere in the PTE page struct page sucks
      too much, the address is almost readily available in all call sites and
      almost everybody implemets these as macros, so we may as well add the
      argument everywhere. I added it to the pmd and pud variants for consistency.

      kmap_types: make most arches use generic header file · e4c9dd0f
      Randy Dunlap 提交于
      Convert most arches to use asm-generic/kmap_types.h.
      
      Move the KM_FENCE_ macro additions into asm-generic/kmap_types.h,
      controlled by __WITH_KM_FENCE from each arch's kmap_types.h file.
      
      Would be nice to be able to add custom KM_types per arch, but I don't yet
      see a nice, clean way to do that.
      
      Built on x86_64, i386, mips, sparc, alpha(tonyb), powerpc(tonyb), and
      68k(tonyb).
      
      Note: avr32 should be able to remove KM_PTE2 (since it's not used) and
      then just use the generic kmap_types.h file.  Get avr32 maintainer
      approval.

      flat: fix data sections alignment · c3dc5bec
      Oskar Schirmer 提交于
      The flat loader uses an architecture's flat_stack_align() to align the
      stack but assumes word-alignment is enough for the data sections.
      
      However, on the Xtensa S6000 we have registers up to 128bit width
      which can be used from userspace and therefor need userspace stack and
      data-section alignment of at least this size.
      
      This patch drops flat_stack_align() and uses the same alignment that
      is required for slab caches, ARCH_SLAB_MINALIGN, or wordsize if it's
      not defined by the architecture.
      
      It also fixes m32r which was obviously kaput, aligning an
      uninitialized stack entry instead of the stack pointer.
