      uml: kill big kernel lock · 9a181c58
      Arnd Bergmann 提交于
      Three uml device drivers still use the big kernel lock,
      but all of them can be safely converted to using
      a per-driver mutex instead. Most likely this is not
      even necessary, so after further review these can
      and should be removed as well.
      
      The exec system call no longer requires the BKL either,
      so remove it from there, too.

      sound: push BKL into open functions · 90dc763f
      Arnd Bergmann 提交于
      This moves the lock_kernel() call from soundcore_open
      to the individual OSS device drivers, where we can deal
      with it one driver at a time if needed, or just kill
      off the drivers.
      
      All core components in ALSA already provide
      adequate locking in their open()-functions
      and do not require the big kernel lock, so
      there is no need to add the BKL there.

      uml: start fixing os_read_file and os_write_file · 3d564047
      Jeff Dike 提交于
      This patch starts the removal of a very old, very broken piece of code.  This
      stems from the problem of passing a userspace buffer into read() or write() on
      the host.  If that buffer had not yet been faulted in, read and write will
      return -EFAULT.
      
      To avoid this problem, the solution was to fault the buffer in before the
      system call by touching the pages that hold the buffer by doing a copy-user of
      a byte to each page.  This is obviously bogus, but it does usually work, in tt
      mode, since the kernel and process are in the same address space and userspace
      addresses can be accessed directly in the kernel.
      
      In skas mode, where the kernel and process are in separate address spaces, it
      is completely bogus because the userspace address, which is invalid in the
      kernel, is passed into the system call instead of the corresponding physical
      address, which would be valid.  Here, it appears that this code, on every host
      read() or write(), tries to fault in a random process page.  This doesn't seem
      to cause any correctness problems, but there is a performance impact.  This
      patch, and the ones following, result in a 10-15% performance gain on a kernel
      build.
      
      This code can't be immediately tossed out because when it is, you can't log
      in.  Apparently, there is some code in the console driver which depends on
      this somehow.
      
      However, we can start removing it by switching the code which does I/O using
      kernel addresses to using plain read() and write().  This patch introduces
      os_read_file_k and os_write_file_k for use with kernel buffers and converts
      all call locations which use obvious kernel buffers to use them.  These
      include I/O using buffers which are local variables which are on the stack or
      kmalloc-ed.  Later patches will handle the less obvious cases, followed by a
      mass conversion back to the original interface.

      Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
      even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
      archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
      3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
      git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
      infrastructure for it.
      
      Let it rip!
