asm-generic: make copy_from_user() zero the destination properly

2016-09-24T08:09:40+00:00

commit 2545e5da080b4839dd859e3b09343a884f6ab0e3 upstream. ... in all cases, including the failing access_ok() Note that some architectures using asm-generic/uaccess.h have __copy_from_user() not zeroing the tail on failure halfway through. This variant works either way. Signed-off-by: Al Viro Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

clocksource/drivers/clksrc-probe: Introduce init functions with return code

2016-08-09T06:22:11+00:00

Currently, the clksrc-probe is not able to handle any error from the init functions. There are different issues with the current code: - the code is duplicated in the init functions by writing error - every driver tends to panic in its own init function - counting the number of clocksources is not reliable This patch adds another table to store the functions returning an error. The table is temporary while we convert all the drivers to return an error and will disappear.

vmlinux.lds: account for destructor sections

2016-07-15T05:54:27+00:00

If CONFIG_KASAN is enabled and gcc is configured with --disable-initfini-array and/or gold linker is used, gcc emits .ctors/.dtors and .text.startup/.text.exit sections instead of .init_array/.fini_array. .dtors section is not explicitly accounted in the linker script and messes vvar/percpu layout. We want: ffffffff822bfd80 D _edata ffffffff822c0000 D __vvar_beginning_hack ffffffff822c0000 A __vvar_page ffffffff822c0080 0000000000000098 D vsyscall_gtod_data ffffffff822c1000 A __init_begin ffffffff822c1000 D init_per_cpu__irq_stack_union ffffffff822c1000 A __per_cpu_load ffffffff822d3000 D init_per_cpu__gdt_page We got: ffffffff8279a600 D _edata ffffffff8279b000 A __vvar_page ffffffff8279c000 A __init_begin ffffffff8279c000 D init_per_cpu__irq_stack_union ffffffff8279c000 A __per_cpu_load ffffffff8279e000 D __vvar_beginning_hack ffffffff8279e080 0000000000000098 D vsyscall_gtod_data ffffffff827ae000 D init_per_cpu__gdt_page This happens because __vvar_page and .vvar get different addresses in arch/x86/kernel/vmlinux.lds.S: . = ALIGN(PAGE_SIZE); __vvar_page = .; .vvar : AT(ADDR(.vvar) - LOAD_OFFSET) { /* work around gold bug 13023 */ __vvar_beginning_hack = .; Discard .dtors/.fini_array/.text.exit, since we don't call dtors. Merge .text.startup into init text.

locking/qspinlock: Fix spin_unlock_wait() some more

2016-06-08T12:29:08+00:00

While this prior commit: 54cf809b9512 ("locking,qspinlock: Fix spin_is_locked() and spin_unlock_wait()") ... fixes spin_is_locked() and spin_unlock_wait() for the usage in ipc/sem and netfilter, it does not in fact work right for the usage in task_work and futex. So while the 2 locks crossed problem: spin_lock(A) spin_lock(B) if (!spin_is_locked(B)) spin_unlock_wait(A) foo() foo(); ... works with the smp_mb() injected by both spin_is_locked() and spin_unlock_wait(), this is not sufficient for: flag = 1; smp_mb(); spin_lock() spin_unlock_wait() if (!flag) // add to lockless list // iterate lockless list ... because in this scenario, the store from spin_lock() can be delayed past the load of flag, uncrossing the variables and loosing the guarantee. This patch reworks spin_is_locked() and spin_unlock_wait() to work in both cases by exploiting the observation that while the lock byte store can be delayed, the contender must have registered itself visibly in other state contained in the word. It also allows for architectures to override both functions, as PPC and ARM64 have an additional issue for which we currently have no generic solution.

locking,qspinlock: Fix spin_is_locked() and spin_unlock_wait()

2016-05-21T02:30:32+00:00

Similar to commits: 51d7d5205d33 ("powerpc: Add smp_mb() to arch_spin_is_locked()") d86b8da04dfa ("arm64: spinlock: serialise spin_unlock_wait against concurrent lockers") qspinlock suffers from the fact that the _Q_LOCKED_VAL store is unordered inside the ACQUIRE of the lock. And while this is not a problem for the regular mutual exclusive critical section usage of spinlocks, it breaks creative locking like: spin_lock(A) spin_lock(B) spin_unlock_wait(B) if (!spin_is_locked(A)) do_something() do_something() In that both CPUs can end up running do_something at the same time, because our _Q_LOCKED_VAL store can drop past the spin_unlock_wait() spin_is_locked() loads (even on x86!!). To avoid making the normal case slower, add smp_mb()s to the less used spin_unlock_wait() / spin_is_locked() side of things to avoid this problem.

arch: fix has_transparent_hugepage()

2016-05-20T02:12:14+00:00

I've just discovered that the useful-sounding has_transparent_hugepage() is actually an architecture-dependent minefield: on some arches it only builds if CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE=y, on others it's also there when not, but on some of those (arm and arm64) it then gives the wrong answer; and on mips alone it's marked __init, which would crash if called later (but so far it has not been called later). Straighten this out: make it available to all configs, with a sensible default in asm-generic/pgtable.h, removing its definitions from those arches (arc, arm, arm64, sparc, tile) which are served by the default, adding #define has_transparent_hugepage has_transparent_hugepage to those (mips, powerpc, s390, x86) which need to override the default at runtime, and removing the __init from mips (but maybe that kind of code should be avoided after init: set a static variable the first time it's called).
