ARC: mm: allow mprotect to make stack mappings executable

2018-07-25T09:26:08+00:00

commit 93312b6da4df31e4102ce5420e6217135a16c7ea upstream. mprotect(EXEC) was failing for stack mappings as default vm flags was missing MAYEXEC. This was triggered by glibc test suite nptl/tst-execstack testcase What is surprising is that despite running LTP for years on, we didn't catch this issue as it lacks a directed test case. gcc dejagnu tests with nested functions also requiring exec stack work fine though because they rely on the GNU_STACK segment spit out by compiler and handled in kernel elf loader. This glibc case is different as the stack is non exec to begin with and a dlopen of shared lib with GNU_STACK segment triggers the exec stack proceedings using a mprotect(PROT_EXEC) which was broken.

ARC: configs: Remove CONFIG_INITRAMFS_SOURCE from defconfigs

2018-07-25T09:26:08+00:00

commit 64234961c145606b36eaa82c47b11be842b21049 upstream. We used to have pre-set CONFIG_INITRAMFS_SOURCE with local path to intramfs in ARC defconfigs. This was quite convenient for in-house development but not that convenient for newcomers who obviusly don't have folders like "arc_initramfs" next to the Linux source tree. Which leads to quite surprising failure of defconfig building: ------------------------------->8----------------------------- ../scripts/gen_initramfs_list.sh: Cannot open '../../arc_initramfs_hs/' ../usr/Makefile:57: recipe for target 'usr/initramfs_data.cpio.gz' failed make[2]: *** [usr/initramfs_data.cpio.gz] Error 1 ------------------------------->8----------------------------- So now when more and more people start to deal with our defconfigs let's make their life easier with removal of CONFIG_INITRAMFS_SOURCE.

ARC: Fix CONFIG_SWAP

2018-07-25T09:26:08+00:00

commit 6e3761145a9ba3ce267c330b6bff51cf6a057b06 upstream. swap was broken on ARC due to silly copy-paste issue. We encode offset from swapcache page in __swp_entry() as (off << 13) but were not decoding back in __swp_offset() as (off >> 13) - it was still (off << 13). This finally fixes swap usage on ARC. | # mkswap /dev/sda2 | | # swapon -a -e /dev/sda2 | Adding 500728k swap on /dev/sda2.

ARCv2: [plat-hsdk]: Save accl reg pair by default

commit af1fc5baa724c63ce1733dfcf855bad5ef6078e3 upstream. This manifsted as strace segfaulting on HSDK because gcc was targetting the accumulator registers as GPRs, which kernek was not saving/restoring by default.

kbuild: mark $(targets) as .SECONDARY and remove .PRECIOUS markers

2018-04-07T10:04:02+00:00

GNU Make automatically deletes intermediate files that are updated in a chain of pattern rules. Example 1) %.dtb.o <- %.dtb.S <- %.dtb <- %.dts Example 2) %.o <- %.c <- %.c_shipped A couple of makefiles mark such targets as .PRECIOUS to prevent Make from deleting them, but the correct way is to use .SECONDARY. .SECONDARY Prerequisites of this special target are treated as intermediate files but are never automatically deleted. .PRECIOUS When make is interrupted during execution, it may delete the target file it is updating if the file was modified since make started. If you mark the file as precious, make will never delete the file if interrupted. Both can avoid deletion of intermediate files, but the difference is the behavior when Make is interrupted; .SECONDARY deletes the target, but .PRECIOUS does not. The use of .PRECIOUS is relatively rare since we do not want to keep partially constructed (possibly corrupted) targets. Another difference is that .PRECIOUS works with pattern rules whereas .SECONDARY does not. .PRECIOUS: $(obj)/%.lex.c works, but .SECONDARY: $(obj)/%.lex.c has no effect. However, for the reason above, I do not want to use .PRECIOUS which could cause obscure build breakage. The targets specified as .SECONDARY must be explicit. $(targets) contains all targets that need to include .*.cmd files. So, the intermediates you want to keep are mostly in there. Therefore, mark $(targets) as .SECONDARY. It means primary targets are also marked as .SECONDARY, but I do not see any drawback for this. I replaced some .SECONDARY / .PRECIOUS markers with 'targets'. This will make Kbuild search for non-existing .*.cmd files, but this is not a noticeable performance issue.

mm: fix races between swapoff and flush dcache

2018-04-06T04:36:26+00:00

Thanks to commit 4b3ef9daa4fc ("mm/swap: split swap cache into 64MB trunks"), after swapoff the address_space associated with the swap device will be freed. So page_mapping() users which may touch the address_space need some kind of mechanism to prevent the address_space from being freed during accessing. The dcache flushing functions (flush_dcache_page(), etc) in architecture specific code may access the address_space of swap device for anonymous pages in swap cache via page_mapping() function. But in some cases there are no mechanisms to prevent the swap device from being swapoff, for example, CPU1 CPU2 __get_user_pages() swapoff() flush_dcache_page() mapping = page_mapping() ... exit_swap_address_space() ... kvfree(spaces) mapping_mapped(mapping) The address space may be accessed after being freed. But from cachetlb.txt and Russell King, flush_dcache_page() only care about file cache pages, for anonymous pages, flush_anon_page() should be used. The implementation of flush_dcache_page() in all architectures follows this too. They will check whether page_mapping() is NULL and whether mapping_mapped() is true to determine whether to flush the dcache immediately. And they will use interval tree (mapping->i_mmap) to find all user space mappings. While mapping_mapped() and mapping->i_mmap isn't used by anonymous pages in swap cache at all. So, to fix the race between swapoff and flush dcache, __page_mapping() is add to return the address_space for file cache pages and NULL otherwise. All page_mapping() invoking in flush dcache functions are replaced with page_mapping_file().

ARC: setup cpu possible mask according to possible-cpus dts property

2018-02-28T18:45:32+00:00

As we have option in u-boot to set CPU mask for running linux, we want to pass information to kernel about CPU cores should be brought up. So we patch kernel dtb in u-boot to set possible-cpus property. This also allows us to have correctly setuped MCIP debug mask. Signed-off-by: Eugeniy Paltsev Signed-off-by: Vineet Gupta
