parisc: Allow building 64-bit kernel without -mlong-calls compiler option

2019-05-20T08:51:39+00:00

A 64-bit kernel built without CONFIG_MLONGCALLS (-mlong-calls compiler option) usually fails to link because of unreachable functions. Try to work around that linking issue by moving the *.init and *.exit text segments closer to the main text segment. With that change those segments now don't get freed at runtime any longer, but since we in most cases run with huge-page enabled, we ignore the lost memory in preference of better performance. This change will not guarantee that every kernel config will now sucessfully build with short calls and without linking issues. Signed-off-by: Helge Deller

parisc: Kconfig: remove ARCH_DISCARD_MEMBLOCK

2019-05-20T08:51:39+00:00

Since commit 350e88bad496 ("mm: memblock: make keeping memblock memory opt-in rather than opt-out") the default behaviour is to discard memblock data after init and the ARCH_DISCARD_MEMBLOCK is obsolete. Remove it. Signed-off-by: Mike Rapoport Signed-off-by: Helge Deller

parisc: Switch from DISCONTIGMEM to SPARSEMEM

2019-05-03T21:47:40+00:00

The commit 1c30844d2dfe ("mm: reclaim small amounts of memory when an external fragmentation event occurs") breaks memory management on a parisc c8000 workstation with this memory layout: 0) Start 0x0000000000000000 End 0x000000003fffffff Size 1024 MB 1) Start 0x0000000100000000 End 0x00000001bfdfffff Size 3070 MB 2) Start 0x0000004040000000 End 0x00000040ffffffff Size 3072 MB With the patch 1c30844d2dfe, the kernel will incorrectly reclaim the first zone when it fills up, ignoring the fact that there are two completely free zones. Basiscally, it limits cache size to 1GiB. The parisc kernel is currently using the DISCONTIGMEM implementation, but isn't NUMA. Avoid this issue or strange work-arounds by switching to the more commonly used SPARSEMEM implementation.

locking/rwsem: Remove rwsem-spinlock.c & use rwsem-xadd.c for all archs

2019-04-03T12:50:52+00:00

Currently, we have two different implementation of rwsem: 1) CONFIG_RWSEM_GENERIC_SPINLOCK (rwsem-spinlock.c) 2) CONFIG_RWSEM_XCHGADD_ALGORITHM (rwsem-xadd.c) As we are going to use a single generic implementation for rwsem-xadd.c and no architecture-specific code will be needed, there is no point in keeping two different implementations of rwsem. In most cases, the performance of rwsem-spinlock.c will be worse. It also doesn't get all the performance tuning and optimizations that had been implemented in rwsem-xadd.c over the years. For simplication, we are going to remove rwsem-spinlock.c and make all architectures use a single implementation of rwsem - rwsem-xadd.c. All references to RWSEM_GENERIC_SPINLOCK and RWSEM_XCHGADD_ALGORITHM in the code are removed.

32-bit userspace ABI: introduce ARCH_32BIT_OFF_T config option

2019-02-19T09:10:05+00:00

All new 32-bit architectures should have 64-bit userspace off_t type, but existing architectures has 32-bit ones. To enforce the rule, new config option is added to arch/Kconfig that defaults ARCH_32BIT_OFF_T to be disabled for new 32-bit architectures. All existing 32-bit architectures enable it explicitly. New option affects force_o_largefile() behaviour. Namely, if userspace off_t is 64-bits long, we have no reason to reject user to open big files. Note that even if architectures has only 64-bit off_t in the kernel (arc, c6x, h8300, hexagon, nios2, openrisc, and unicore32), a libc may use 32-bit off_t, and therefore want to limit the file size to 4GB unless specified differently in the open flags.
