      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.

      x86, relocs: ignore R_386_NONE in kernel relocation entries · 46176b4f
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      For relocatable 32bit kernels, boot/compressed/relocs.c processes
      relocation entries in the kernel image and appends it to the kernel
      image such that boot/compressed/head_32.S can relocate the kernel.
      The kernel image is one statically linked object and only uses two
      relocation types - R_386_PC32 and R_386_32, of the two only the latter
      needs massaging during kernel relocation and thus handled by relocs.
      R_386_PC32 is ignored and all other relocation types are considered
      error.
      
      When the target of a relocation resides in a discarded section,
      binutils doesn't throw away the relocation record but nullifies it by
      changing it to R_386_NONE, which unfortunately makes relocs fail.
      
      The problem was triggered by yet out-of-tree x86 stack unwind patches
      but given the binutils behavior, ignoring R_386_NONE is the right
      thing to do.
      
      The problem has been tracked down to binutils behavior by Jan Beulich.

      powerpc/mm: Fix broken MMU PID stealing on !SMP · 8e35961b
      Hideo Saito 提交于
      The recent rework of the MMU PID handling for non-hash CPUs has a
      subtle bug in the !SMP "optimized" variant of the PID stealing
      function.  It clears the PID in the mm context before it calls
      local_flush_tlb_mm(). However, the later will not flush anything
      if the PID in the context is clear...

      KVM: Fix PDPTR reloading on CR4 writes · a2edf57f
      Avi Kivity 提交于
      The processor is documented to reload the PDPTRs while in PAE mode if any
      of the CR4 bits PSE, PGE, or PAE change.  Linux relies on this
      behaviour when zapping the low mappings of PAE kernels during boot.
      
      The code already handled changes to CR4.PAE; augment it to also notice changes
      to PSE and PGE.
      
      This triggered while booting an F11 PAE kernel; the futex initialization code
      runs before any CR3 reloads and writes to a NULL pointer; the futex subsystem
      ended up uninitialized, killing PI futexes and pulseaudio which uses them.

      The paravirt tlb flush may be used not only to flush TLBs, but also
      to reload the four page-directory-pointer-table entries, as it is used
      as a replacement for reloading CR3.  Change the code to do the entire
      CR3 reloading dance instead of simply flushing the TLB.

      [ARM] Double check memmap is actually valid with a memmap has unexpected holes V2 · eb33575c
      Mel Gorman 提交于
      pfn_valid() is meant to be able to tell if a given PFN has valid memmap
      associated with it or not. In FLATMEM, it is expected that holes always
      have valid memmap as long as there is valid PFNs either side of the hole.
      In SPARSEMEM, it is assumed that a valid section has a memmap for the
      entire section.
      
      However, ARM and maybe other embedded architectures in the future free
      memmap backing holes to save memory on the assumption the memmap is never
      used. The page_zone linkages are then broken even though pfn_valid()
      returns true. A walker of the full memmap must then do this additional
      check to ensure the memmap they are looking at is sane by making sure the
      zone and PFN linkages are still valid. This is expensive, but walkers of
      the full memmap are extremely rare.
      
      This was caught before for FLATMEM and hacked around but it hits again for
      SPARSEMEM because the page_zone linkages can look ok where the PFN linkages
      are totally screwed. This looks like a hatchet job but the reality is that
      any clean solution would end up consumning all the memory saved by punching
      these unexpected holes in the memmap. For example, we tried marking the
      memmap within the section invalid but the section size exceeds the size of
      the hole in most cases so pfn_valid() starts returning false where valid
      memmap exists. Shrinking the size of the section would increase memory
      consumption offsetting the gains.
      
      This patch identifies when an architecture is punching unexpected holes
      in the memmap that the memory model cannot automatically detect and sets
      ARCH_HAS_HOLES_MEMORYMODEL. At the moment, this is restricted to EP93xx
      which is the model sub-architecture this has been reported on but may expand
      later. When set, walkers of the full memmap must call memmap_valid_within()
      for each PFN and passing in what it expects the page and zone to be for
      that PFN. If it finds the linkages to be broken, it assumes the memmap is
      invalid for that PFN.

      I don't think anything guarantees that the objects in data.page_aligned
      are a multiple of PAGE_SIZE, thus the section may end on any boundary.
      
      So the following section, .data.cacheline_aligned needs an explicit
      alignment.
