      Make do_execve() take a const filename pointer · d7627467
      David Howells 提交于
      Make do_execve() take a const filename pointer so that kernel_execve() compiles
      correctly on ARM:
      
      arch/arm/kernel/sys_arm.c:88: warning: passing argument 1 of 'do_execve' discards qualifiers from pointer target type
      
      This also requires the argv and envp arguments to be consted twice, once for
      the pointer array and once for the strings the array points to.  This is
      because do_execve() passes a pointer to the filename (now const) to
      copy_strings_kernel().  A simpler alternative would be to cast the filename
      pointer in do_execve() when it's passed to copy_strings_kernel().
      
      do_execve() may not change any of the strings it is passed as part of the argv
      or envp lists as they are some of them in .rodata, so marking these strings as
      const should be fine.
      
      Further kernel_execve() and sys_execve() need to be changed to match.
      
      This has been test built on x86_64, frv, arm and mips.

      include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking... · 5a0e3ad6
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
      
      percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
      included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
      in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
      universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
      
      percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
      this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
      headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
      needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
      used as the basis of conversion.
      
        http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
      
      The script does the followings.
      
      * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
        only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
        gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
      
      * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
        blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
        to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
        core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
        alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
        doesn't seem to be any matching order.
      
      * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
        because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
        an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
        file.
      
      The conversion was done in the following steps.
      
      1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
         over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
         and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
         files.
      
      2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
         some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
         embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
         inclusions to around 150 files.
      
      3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
         from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
      
      4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
         e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
         APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
      
      5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
         editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
         files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
         inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
         wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
         slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
         necessary.
      
      6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
      
      7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
         were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
         distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
         more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
         build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
      
         * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
         * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
         * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
         * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
         * s390 SMP allmodconfig
         * alpha SMP allmodconfig
         * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
      
      8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
         a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
      
      Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
      6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
      If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
      headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
      the specific arch.

      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.

      The idea of this thing is we could save/restore the firmware's

      Only one driver implemented this (atyfb) and it's value is
      questionable.  If you're just debugging you don't really
      care that the characters end up being purple or whatever.
      
      And we can provide better debugging and firmware command
      facilities with minimal in-kernel console I/O drivers.

      [SPARC]: Fix serial console device detection. · c73fcc84
      David S. Miller 提交于
      The current scheme works on static interpretation of text names, which
      is wrong.
      
      The output-device setting, for example, must be resolved via an alias
      or similar to a full path name to the console device.
      
      Paths also contain an optional set of 'options', which starts with a
      colon at the end of the path.  The option area is used to specify
      which of two serial ports ('a' or 'b') the path refers to when a
      device node drives multiple ports.  'a' is assumed if the option
      specification is missing.
      
      This was caught by the UltraSPARC-T1 simulator.  The 'output-device'
      property was set to 'ttya' and we didn't pick upon the fact that this
      is an OBP alias set to '/virtual-devices/console'.  Instead we saw it
      as the first serial console device, instead of the hypervisor console.
      
      The infrastructure is now there to take advantage of this to resolve
      the console correctly even in multi-head situations in fbcon too.
      
      Thanks to Greg Onufer for the bug report.

      [PATCH] sched: resched and cpu_idle rework · 64c7c8f8
      Nick Piggin 提交于
      Make some changes to the NEED_RESCHED and POLLING_NRFLAG to reduce
      confusion, and make their semantics rigid.  Improves efficiency of
      resched_task and some cpu_idle routines.
      
      * In resched_task:
      - TIF_NEED_RESCHED is only cleared with the task's runqueue lock held,
        and as we hold it during resched_task, then there is no need for an
        atomic test and set there. The only other time this should be set is
        when the task's quantum expires, in the timer interrupt - this is
        protected against because the rq lock is irq-safe.
      
      - If TIF_NEED_RESCHED is set, then we don't need to do anything. It
        won't get unset until the task get's schedule()d off.
      
      - If we are running on the same CPU as the task we resched, then set
        TIF_NEED_RESCHED and no further action is required.
      
      - If we are running on another CPU, and TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG is *not* set
        after TIF_NEED_RESCHED has been set, then we need to send an IPI.
      
      Using these rules, we are able to remove the test and set operation in
      resched_task, and make clear the previously vague semantics of
      POLLING_NRFLAG.
      
      * In idle routines:
      - Enter cpu_idle with preempt disabled. When the need_resched() condition
        becomes true, explicitly call schedule(). This makes things a bit clearer
        (IMO), but haven't updated all architectures yet.
      
      - Many do a test and clear of TIF_NEED_RESCHED for some reason. According
        to the resched_task rules, this isn't needed (and actually breaks the
        assumption that TIF_NEED_RESCHED is only cleared with the runqueue lock
        held). So remove that. Generally one less locked memory op when switching
        to the idle thread.
      
      - Many idle routines clear TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG, and only set it in the inner
        most polling idle loops. The above resched_task semantics allow it to be
        set until before the last time need_resched() is checked before going into
        a halt requiring interrupt wakeup.
      
        Many idle routines simply never enter such a halt, and so POLLING_NRFLAG
        can be always left set, completely eliminating resched IPIs when rescheduling
        the idle task.
      
        POLLING_NRFLAG width can be increased, to reduce the chance of resched IPIs.

      [PATCH] sched: disable preempt in idle tasks · 5bfb5d69
      Nick Piggin 提交于
      Run idle threads with preempt disabled.
      
      Also corrected a bugs in arm26's cpu_idle (make it actually call schedule()).
      How did it ever work before?
      
      Might fix the CPU hotplugging hang which Nigel Cunningham noted.
      
      We think the bug hits if the idle thread is preempted after checking
      need_resched() and before going to sleep, then the CPU offlined.
      
      After calling stop_machine_run, the CPU eventually returns from preemption and
      into the idle thread and goes to sleep.  The CPU will continue executing
      previous idle and have no chance to call play_dead.
      
      By disabling preemption until we are ready to explicitly schedule, this bug is
      fixed and the idle threads generally become more robust.
