mm/fault: convert remaining simple cases to lock_mm_and_find_vma()

2023-06-24T21:12:58+00:00

This does the simple pattern conversion of alpha, arc, csky, hexagon, loongarch, nios2, sh, sparc32, and xtensa to the lock_mm_and_find_vma() helper. They all have the regular fault handling pattern without odd special cases. The remaining architectures all have something that keeps us from a straightforward conversion: ia64 and parisc have stacks that can grow both up as well as down (and ia64 has special address region checks). And m68k, microblaze, openrisc, sparc64, and um end up having extra rules about only expanding the stack down a limited amount below the user space stack pointer. That is something that x86 used to do too (long long ago), and it probably could just be skipped, but it still makes the conversion less than trivial. Note that this conversion was done manually and with the exception of alpha without any build testing, because I have a fairly limited cross- building environment. The cases are all simple, and I went through the changes several times, but... Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

Kconfig: introduce HAS_IOPORT option and select it as necessary

2023-04-05T20:15:19+00:00

We introduce a new HAS_IOPORT Kconfig option to indicate support for I/O Port access. In a future patch HAS_IOPORT=n will disable compilation of the I/O accessor functions inb()/outb() and friends on architectures which can not meaningfully support legacy I/O spaces such as s390. The following architectures do not select HAS_IOPORT: * ARC * C-SKY * Hexagon * Nios II * OpenRISC * s390 * User-Mode Linux * Xtensa All other architectures select HAS_IOPORT at least conditionally. The "depends on" relations on HAS_IOPORT in drivers as well as ifdefs for HAS_IOPORT specific sections will be added in subsequent patches on a per subsystem basis.

alpha: Implement "current_stack_pointer"

2023-02-14T17:36:22+00:00

To follow the existing per-arch conventions replace open-coded use of asm "$30" as "current_stack_pointer". This will let it be used in non-arch places (like HARDENED_USERCOPY).

arch/*/: remove CONFIG_VIRT_TO_BUS

2022-06-28T11:20:21+00:00

All architecture-independent users of virt_to_bus() and bus_to_virt() have been fixed to use the dma mapping interfaces or have been removed now. This means the definitions on most architectures, and the CONFIG_VIRT_TO_BUS symbol are now obsolete and can be removed. The only exceptions to this are a few network and scsi drivers for m68k Amiga and VME machines and ppc32 Macintosh. These drivers work correctly with the old interfaces and are probably not worth changing. On alpha and parisc, virt_to_bus() were still used in asm/floppy.h. alpha can use isa_virt_to_bus() like x86 does, and parisc can just open-code the virt_to_phys() here, as this is architecture specific code. I tried updating the bus-virt-phys-mapping.rst documentation, which started as an email from Linus to explain some details of the Linux-2.0 driver interfaces. The bits about virt_to_bus() were declared obsolete backin 2000, and the rest is not all that relevant any more, so in the end I just decided to remove the file completely.

Pull asm-generic updates from Arnd Bergmann: "There are three sets of updates for 5.18 in the asm-generic tree: - The set_fs()/get_fs() infrastructure gets removed for good. This was already gone from all major architectures, but now we can finally remove it everywhere, which loses some particularly tricky and error-prone code. There is a small merge conflict against a parisc cleanup, the solution is to use their new version. - The nds32 architecture ends its tenure in the Linux kernel. The hardware is still used and the code is in reasonable shape, but the mainline port is not actively maintained any more, as all remaining users are thought to run vendor kernels that would never be updated to a future release. - A series from Masahiro Yamada cleans up some of the uapi header files to pass the compile-time checks" * tag 'asm-generic-5.18' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arnd/asm-generic: (27 commits) nds32: Remove the architecture uaccess: remove CONFIG_SET_FS ia64: remove CONFIG_SET_FS support sh: remove CONFIG_SET_FS support sparc64: remove CONFIG_SET_FS support lib/test_lockup: fix kernel pointer check for separate address spaces uaccess: generalize access_ok() uaccess: fix type mismatch warnings from access_ok() arm64: simplify access_ok() m68k: fix access_ok for coldfire MIPS: use simpler access_ok() MIPS: Handle address errors for accesses above CPU max virtual user address uaccess: add generic __{get,put}_kernel_nofault nios2: drop access_ok() check from __put_user() x86: use more conventional access_ok() definition x86: remove __range_not_ok() sparc64: add __{get,put}_kernel_nofault() nds32: fix access_ok() checks in get/put_user uaccess: fix nios2 and microblaze get_user_8() sparc64: fix building assembly files ...

a.out: Stop building a.out/osf1 support on alpha and m68k

2022-03-10T16:01:51+00:00

There has been repeated discussion on removing a.out support, the most recent was[1]. Having read through a bunch of the discussion it looks like no one has see any reason why we need to keep a.out support. The m68k maintainer has even come out in favor of removing a.out support[2]. At a practical level with only two rarely used architectures building a.out support, it gets increasingly hard to test and to care about. Which means the code will almost certainly bit-rot. Let's see if anyone cares about a.out support on the last two architectures that build it, by disabling the build of the support in Kconfig. If anyone cares, this can be easily reverted, and we can then have a discussion about what it is going to take to support a.out binaries in the long term.

uaccess: remove CONFIG_SET_FS

2022-02-25T08:36:06+00:00

There are no remaining callers of set_fs(), so CONFIG_SET_FS can be removed globally, along with the thread_info field and any references to it. This turns access_ok() into a cheaper check against TASK_SIZE_MAX. As CONFIG_SET_FS is now gone, drop all remaining references to set_fs()/get_fs(), mm_segment_t, user_addr_max() and uaccess_kernel(). Acked-by: Sam Ravnborg # for sparc32 changes Acked-by: "Eric W.

alpha: enable GENERIC_PCI_IOMAP unconditionally

2021-09-19T17:37:00+00:00

With the previous commit (9caea0007601: "parisc: Declare pci_iounmap() parisc version only when CONFIG_PCI enabled") we can now enable GENERIC_PCI_IOMAP unconditionally on alpha, and if PCI is not enabled we will just get the nice empty helper functions that allow mixed-bus drivers to build. Example driver: the old 3com/3c59x.c driver works with either the PCI or the EISA version of the 3x59x card, but wouldn't build in an EISA-only configuration because of missing pci_iomap() and pci_iounmap() dummy wrappers. Most of the other PCI infrastructure just becomes empty wrappers even without GENERIC_PCI_IOMAP, and it's not obvious that the pci_iomap functionality shouldn't do the same, but this works.

alpha: mark 'Jensen' platform as no longer broken

2021-09-18T21:12:39+00:00

Ok, it almost certainly is still broken on actual hardware, but the immediate reason for it having been marked BROKEN was a build error that is fixed by just making sure the low-level IO header file is included sufficiently early that the __EXTERN_INLINE hackery takes effect. This was marked broken back in 2017 by commit 1883c9f49d02 ("alpha: mark jensen as broken"), but Ulrich Teichert made me look at it as part of my cross-build work to make sure -Werror actually does the right thing. There are lots of alpha configurations that do not build cleanly, but now it's no longer because Jensen wouldn't be buildable. That said, because the Jensen platform doesn't force PCI to be enabled (Jensen only had EISA), it ends up being somewhat interesting as a source of odd configs.
